Chapter 349: The Battle of Qi and Jin (3)

Guji water originated in the north of present-day Zhengzhou, and when it flowed eastward through Kaifeng, it branched out into a tributary called "Pushui". Pushui and Jishui continued to meander parallel to the northeast, and then injected Jishui into the southwest of Changqing, Shandong Province.

After Wei Wengong destroyed Xing, Wei's territory immediately expanded to the banks of Pushui and Jishui, and Jishui became the boundary river between Qi and Wei. There is a small city on the east bank of Jishui called "鞌" (now west of Jinan), which is the traffic artery connecting Qi and Wei; To the north of the city is the Huabu Mountain that resembles the inverted calyx, "the green cliff and green hair, looking at the same point Dai", and the south is the Mi Lu Mountain (Lishan) that Da Shun once cultivated here.

When the Jin Jing Gong began to recruit troops, Qi Qinggong sent Yan Qiao to Chu to ask for help, and he ordered Guo Zuo, who was guarding Linzi, to gather the army and take it to the area of Milu Mountain to wait. After the allied forces arrived at Weiguo, the Qi division slowly retreated from Chuqiu, and the allied forces of Jin, Wei, Lu, and Cao followed the Qi division to Xin (now Xin County, Shandong); One hundred and six years ago, Wei Xuangong colluded with robbers to murder his crown prince here.

Sun Liang's father told Xun Ke that the danger of Xin Di was no less than that of the Tiger Prison; The Qi division must set up an ambush on the way, and if the coalition forces pass through this place, they will definitely get the same fate as the Qin army in the Battle of Kun.

He did not dare to move on, so he ordered the coalition forces to turn around and move south. The coalition forces crossed Pushui and Jishui in a flat and dangerous area to the east, and after crossing the river, they continued to extend the Jishui River northward.

The Qi division was waiting in battle, and the coalition army set up camp at the foot of the Milu Mountain. At that time, the Jin army was stationed in the center, the Wei army and the accompanying Beidi auxiliary army were on the left flank, and the Lu army and the Cao army were on the right flank.

The Marquis of Jin was weak, the Marquis of Wei was terminally ill, and the Marquis of Lu was young and ignorant, so the monarchs of the three kingdoms were not in the army. Seeing this scene, Cao Bo didn't want to demote his status to the status of a minister, so he also found an excuse to stay in the country.

On June 16, Qi Qinggong sent an envoy to send a letter of war to Xun Ke, saying: "The son deigned to come to the country of Jin with the teacher of the Marquis of Jin, and the country is not rich (so he will not give gifts), please meet tomorrow morning." ”

Xun Ke replied: "Jin, Lu and Wei are brothers' country. The two countries came to say: 'The great powers vent their grievances against the contemptible countries day and night. The widow could not bear the suffering of the two countries, so he ordered us to intercede with the great powers for the sake of the two countries, and ordered the army not to stay in the great powers for too long. I have been ordered to come, and I can advance but not retreat, and of course I will not disappoint the great powers. ”

Qi Qinggong said: "The doctor's answer is exactly the widow's wish; Even if you don't allow it, the two armies will still meet tomorrow. ”

When the sun was in the west, Gao Gu felt itchy, so he called Yu Rong and the car to drive out of the camp and drove straight to the enemy camp. Gao Gu picked up a few fist-sized stones on the road and put them in his arms. Soon the chariot went around a mound; A Jin outpost camp under construction appeared in front of the three of them.

Yu Rong drove into the enemy camp at a gallop, and suddenly encountered the chariot of the Jin people. Gao Gu threw a stone with all his might, foaming at the mouth of the left side of the car, and fell directly out of the chariot. Yu Rong exclaimed: "What a secret weapon! As soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked down by a second stone. Gao Gu jumped onto the enemy's chariot and threw the right side of the chariot into the car, he flew and jumped onto the chariot of the Jin people, and ordered a U-turn.

Because the Jin people were repairing the camp and did not take precautions, and the incident happened very suddenly, when the soldiers came to their senses, the two cars had already driven out of the barracks one after the other. The Jin people kept shouting, but they didn't dare to chase them out. Gao Gu said: "Jin people are not afraid! ”

Back in the barracks, Gao Gu tied a mulberry root to the captured chariot to show that this trophy was different from the others. He also carried the bloodied and dejected prisoners of war around the camp and shouted: "I still have the courage to run out here, and those who need it can buy it from me!" ”

The soldiers burst into enthusiastic cheers, and Qi Qinggong was also greeted by cheers, he said: "The widow has never heard of the secretary of the country running out to ride a bicycle to the teacher, if you are caught by the people of the Jin country, the widow will demote you to the doctor first!" However, according to the widows, although the enemy army is numerous, there is no courage at all; In tomorrow's battle, the widow will surely capture the one-eyed mandrill! ”

The Qi army did not disarm that night, and each fell asleep with his weapons in his arms.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers of both sides woke up and began to prepare breakfast. Qi Huan Gong put on armor and walked out of the military tent with great strides and majesty. He waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Pass the order: let's kill all the monkeys of the Jin Kingdom first, and then come back for breakfast!" ”

The sergeants had never heard such an order before, and they couldn't help but look at each other. Bing Xia was the royal Rong of Qi Qinggong, and he was about to put on armor for the war horse, when Qi Qinggong stretched out his hand and ripped off the armor, threw it aside and said: "The widow doesn't care about those cowards who ran out of the Taihang Mountain. Qi Qinggong jumped on the chariot and led the army out of the camp to line up. After the array was swinged, Qi Qinggong began to beat the drum.

The coalition forces had never encountered such starvation tactics and had to rush into battle. At that time, Xie Zhang was the king of the royal Rong, and Zheng Qiu was the right of the car. He also beat the drum to give the signal to attack.

The number of Qi troops is less than seventy percent of the coalition army, but it is more than the number of Jin troops (three armies of Qi and one and a half armies of Jin). The tactic of the Qi people was to concentrate superior forces to attack the Jin army, and Qi Qing believed that as long as the Jin army was defeated, the rest of the army would be defeated without a fight; So he ordered the Chinese army to attack the Jin army with all its might, and the two flanks were dedicated to defense.

As soon as the Jin army was launched, it was met with a merciless blow from the enemy's rain of arrows. Hoping to get close to the Qi army in the shortest possible time so that the enemy's bows and arrows would be useless, he beat the drum even more violently. But after only a few hits, the drum beat becomes rhythmically messy, weak and weak.

The arrow's left arm had now been pierced by an arrow, and blood was running down the side of his body to his boots. Xun Ke couldn't help but groan: "I was hit by an arrow again (Xun Ke was shot in the eye during the Battle of Lu)!" ”

Xie Zhang said: "At the beginning of the battle, my arm had been hit by an arrow, I broke it and continued to drive, the left wheel of the chariot was already red (the Chinese general's Yu Rong was on the left, and the commander was in the middle), but I didn't dare to say anything about it." You'd better bear with me! ”

Zheng Qiu said: "From the beginning, as long as the chariot is in distress, I will go down and push the cart; But I'm also hurt, don't you know? But you did hurt a lot! ”

Xie Zhang said: "The eyes and ears of the whole army are on this car, and they must follow the Chinese army in advance and retreat. A car can make a big deal or a big thing; How can you ruin the great affairs of the monarch with injuries? Wearing armor and serving soldiers is to die; If you can't die of injury, you can do it yourself! ”

With that, he concentrated the reins in his left hand, and with his right hand he took Rick's wrist and beat the drum with him. The horses galloped wildly, the chariots galloped all the way, and the war drums inspired the sergeants to move forward bravely; The Jin army was like countless wild cattle running wildly and angrily, even if the Qi army's front was so strong that it could not withstand such a huge impact.

The soldiers in the front line of the Qi army were not killed by weapons, but were killed by the enemy's ramming and trampling; They had no chance to kill the enemy, and they were wiped out by the enemy's fighting style.
