Chapter 832: The Qin Army Attacks (6)
At this time, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The king of Chu doesn't have to blame the soldiers of your country, it was ordered by the widow, and he didn't let the armies of Qi and Chu come to the rescue, so he can't blame them." ”
The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "King Han, why is this?" ”
When Qi Wangjian, Tian Kezang, Xiang Dong and others heard this, they were also very surprised, and they all looked at the plateau to see how he answered.
Gao Yuan said: "Our Hanqi and Chu Three Kingdoms have more than 30,000 troops stationed outside the city, and we still have eight or nine thousand soldiers here, if all of them come to the rescue, the strength will naturally be more than enough, but this time the Qin army that came to raid Taoyi is all cavalry, even if all the troops stationed outside the city arrive and defeat the Qin army, there will always be some Qin troops who will escape from the battlefield. Therefore, the widow thought that as long as the Han army came to the rescue, it would be enough to defeat the Qin army, and after the Qin army was defeated, it would inevitably flee west back to the Qin state, so the widow ordered that the armies of Qi and Chu did not have to rush to the rescue, but set up an ambush on the road where the Qin army escaped, and waited for the Qin army to escape to the ambush position, and then killed together, encircled and annihilated the Qin army in one fell swoop, and wiped out all the Qin army in the territory of the Qi country, and also let the Qin state know that our three kingdoms are in harmony and are by no means easy to provoke. ”
When Chu Wang Chengshu, Qi Wangjian, Tian Kezang, Xiang Dong and others heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, no one thought that the plateau actually had such great courage, and this battle was not only to defeat the Qin army, but also to annihilate the Qin army.
Now that the armies of the Three Kingdoms have won, it is understandable to think of it this way, but when Gao Yuan made this arrangement, it was when the fifteen thousand cavalry of the Qin army suddenly arrived and was menacing, and when the army of the Three Kingdoms around the altar was only eight or nine thousand people, at that time, no matter who commanded the arrangement, he would order all the troops of the Three Kingdoms stationed outside the city of Taoyi to rush to the rescue to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Moreover, the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu and so on, what they thought of was that as long as they could repel the Qin army and protect themselves, they didn't even have hope of defeating the Qin army, let alone annihilating the Qin army, and the plateau made a decision plan to annihilate the Qin army at that time, which not only required excellent military ability, but also had great courage, and also had full confidence in the strength of the Han army. There is still a great danger to the kings and ministers of the Three Kingdoms, but it is self-defeating.
But the final result was that the Han army that rushed to the rescue did defeat the Qin army, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army was clearly seen by everyone just now, and the Qin army, which was invincible in front of the two armies of Qi and Chu, was defeated by the Han army, which not only proved that the layout of the plateau was correct, but also proved that the combat effectiveness of the Han army was strong, so the monarchs and ministers of the two countries of Qi and Chu also had to admire the strategy, courage, and strong combat effectiveness of the Han army.
In fact, this is the strategy that Gao Yuan had planned to deal with the Qin army yesterday, because he had already received a report from the Han scouts, and knew that the Qin army would definitely attack the Triple Alliance today, so Gao Yuan also made a decision to completely annihilate the Qin army, only in this way can he hit the arrogance of the Qin State, and at the same time boost the confidence and morale of Qi and Chu.
At the beginning of the arrangement, Gao Yuan did not sue Wang Jian of Qi and King Chu for their plans, firstly, because they were afraid that they would stop it, because Gao Yuan had full confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Han army, but the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu did not necessarily have such courage, so it was better not to tell them, and when the battle was over, it would be easy to say anything; Second, the plateau also hopes to create a kind of unfathomable impression for the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu that they are like gods and use their own troops, so as to lay a good foundation for the later formation of a joint expedition against Qin and command the armies of Qi and Chu, so that they can obey their words and plans, and save a lot of trouble.
At this time, Gao Yuan said: "Now the battlefield is almost cleaned up, and the alliance ceremony has ended, and we have defeated the Qin army, this is our first victory, the king of Qi and the king of Chu, let's go back to Taoyi to celebrate, maybe when we return to Taoyi, the good news that the armies of Qi and Chu have completely annihilated the Qin army has come." ”
Qi Wangjian had long wanted to return to Taoyi, so after listening to Gao Yuan's words, Qi Wangjian carved and said: "What the King of Han said is true, we will turn back to Taoyi, and the widow will feast on a feast to celebrate the defeat of the Qin army." ”
At this time, the king of Chu was already impressed by the plateau, and he also nodded, and said with a smile: "This time we must celebrate well." ”
So the three kings got into the car together, and under the protection of their respective armies, marched to Taoyi, while the Han army escorted the Qin prisoners and returned to Taoyi with the trophies they had collected, along with the armies of the three kingdoms.
Not long after, the three kingdom monarchs arrived in Taoyi, and at this time, the army personnel stationed in Taoyi had also received the news that the Qin army had attacked the scene of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but was defeated, so under the arrangement of the Qi officials in the city, a lot of people were temporarily organized to welcome the return of the three monarchs and celebrate the victory of defeating the Qin army.
After entering the city, at the invitation of Qi Wangjian, Gao Yuan and the King of Chu came to Qi's palace in Taoyi, because before returning to Taoyi, Qi Wangjian said that he would hold a feast in Taoyi to celebrate the victory of the Qin army.
It turned out that on the way back to Taoyi, Qi Wangjian also figured it out, it turned out that Qi Wangjian had been very enthusiastic about the joint longitudinal table before, mainly out of the mentality of not wanting to do much, but this did not mean that Qi Wangjian did not understand anything, of course he knew that after the fall of the Three Jin Dynasty, the expansion momentum of the Qin State had actually formed a heavy threat to the Qi State, once the Qin State destroyed the other five countries, the Qi State would definitely not be spared, but he knew that he knew it, but Qi Wangjian worked hard and worked hard to make the country ambitious, And Qi Wangjian is also afraid of getting on fire and coming to the Qin State, so he just wants to get by and drag it out for a few more years, anyway, he is also an old man over sixty years old, and he still has a few days to live, as long as he survives until he swallows his breath, he doesn't care about the things behind him.
However, although Qi Wangjian thinks so, if he can suppress the momentum of Qin at this time, it is of course beneficial to Qi State, and Qi Wangjian is naturally willing to be optimistic about its success, judging from the current situation, whether he wants to do it or not, it cannot be changed, and from today's battle, the plateau and the Han army do have a few defeats, so with him to command the army, maybe he will really defeat the Qin State, so that the Qi country's day is better, and he doesn't need to worry about the day.
Moreover, the affairs of the Qi State are all to worry about by Kezang, and he just hides in the harem to enjoy himself, so now he is not as active as the Biao, so that the composition of the Hezong is smoother, so the King of Qi Jiancai plans to take the opportunity of this victory to hold a grand celebration, and also to express his support to the Plateau and the Chu State.
After entering the palace, as soon as the three monarchs sat down, there was good news that the armies of Qi and Chu had indeed surrounded and annihilated the fleeing troops of Qin, drawing a perfect end to this victory.
It turned out that after the garrisons of Qi and Chu outside Taoyi City received the order from the plateau, they did not dare to delay, and immediately dispatched their camps to ambush the Qin army's retreating road. Because the Qi army was a local and was very familiar with the terrain around Taoyi, the ambush site was quickly selected, and the two armies of Qi and Chu were divided into left and right arrangements, and each ambushed the army.
However, when the army marched, it was inevitable that it would not leave some traces, and with the Su zhì of the Qin army, it was not difficult to find these traces. But at this time, the Qin army was defeated by the Han army, 15,000 men and horses, and only more than 4,000 people were left, and they were closely pursued by the Han army. As a result, he naturally rushed into the encirclement arranged by the two armies of Qi and Chu.
The two armies of Qi and Chu were killed from the left and right sides, and the Qin army was surrounded at once, and now the Qin army was already frightened after being hit, and the army was disheartened and demoralized, and there was no heart to fight again, and it was far less than the armies of Qi and Chu in terms of numbers. Although the combat effectiveness of the two armies of Qi and Chu is good and strong, but now they are beating the water dogs, so the armies of the two countries are very brave, each waving their weapons, slashing and killing, although the Qin army is a full cavalry army, but it can't resist, and is killed all over the field, with countless casualties, and the remaining soldiers have raised their hands to surrender.
The whole battle only lasted for more than half an hour before it ended, and the remaining nearly 4,000 Qin cavalry soldiers, less than 100 cavalry escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured, and when the battlefield was cleaned up later, the body of Wang Zhang, the commander of the Qin army, was determined by the identification of the captured Qin soldiers.
Until this time, this battle was completely over, the Qin army raided the 15,000 army of Taoyi, the main general was killed, more than 11,000 casualties, more than 3,800 people were captured, only 2,300 people fled, and more than 5,000 horses of the Qin army were also captured, while the casualties of the army of the three kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu were, the Han army killed 208 people and wounded 173 people; The Qi army suffered 925 killed and 703 wounded; The Chu army suffered 697 killed and 514 wounded, so no matter from which point of view, the three kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu achieved a perfect victory.
Moreover, the final encirclement and annihilation of the Qin army was completed by the armies of Qi and Chu, and the Han army did not participate, which also made Qi and Chu feel quite embarrassed, at least it means that Qi and Chu are not dry food, and they can't play without the Han army.
The king of Qi immediately ordered a grand banquet to be held in the palace to celebrate the victory of the Qin army, and at the same time, at the request of the plateau, issued an order to Linzi to publicize the victory of the Qin army in the whole territory of Qi. And the king of Chu also ordered people to rush back to Chu immediately to report the victory, and ordered Chu to celebrate in the country. Because now Qi and Chu really need such a victory to boost their domestic morale.
