Yao Chang sighed: "Don't I know? But now the front army is gradually weakening and collapse is imminent. If we don't attack with brave generals and powerful cavalry, I am afraid that our more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the front army will not be saved. These are the troops we finally built up.
, if we were to break here, we might not even be able to go back to Lingbiao. It's all our fault that we underestimated Fu Jian this time. We didn't expect that he could ignore the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops on the edge of Chang'an, but come out to deal with us, and hit him.
I am full of hope. The only solution now is to block his attack first, and then make a retreat strategy!"
Yin Wei was surprised and said: "What about General Yinmai?"
Yao Chang's eyes flashed coldly: "Whether he lives or dies, it depends on his destiny. If I don't let my brother lead the cavalry to attack at this time, it will chill the hearts of the army officers. Once the hearts of the people are dispersed, the team will not be able to do anything."
If you bring them, I'm afraid they will all be scattered overnight. Give orders, beat the drums, and help out."
Yin Wei gritted his teeth, turned to the messenger behind him and said loudly: "Send the order, open the camp gate, the Tiefu cavalry will attack with General Yao Yinmai, the main gate of the camp will be opened, and the archers will be in place, ready to cover the evacuation of the front army infantry.
!”
On the Zhao's dock, Fu Jian looked at the Qiang army camp opposite. The four gates were wide open, drums and trumpets were blaring, and the Tiefu cavalry waving sabers, maces, and lassoes rolled out like smoke and dust.
, and the roar of the charging cavalry came with the wind. Even here, he could hear it clearly. The first general was eight feet tall and ten inches thick in waist, carrying a Xuanhua mountain axe.
, riding a tall and powerful black war horse, and majesticly killed him, wasn't it Yao Yinmai?
A sneer appeared at the corner of Fu Jian's mouth: "I still have the same virtue as Yao Xiang twenty years ago. He thought he was an invincible hero and wanted to charge with the cavalry to solve the battle. It was not easy to do it twenty years ago. Could it be that
Can you succeed today?"
When Fu Jian said this, he turned to the several messengers around him and said: "Send the order, the infantry in front will retreat a little, the cavalry is not allowed to attack for the time being, and hide in the camp, let the infantry abandon the captured armor and baggage on the ground, pretending to be afraid
The opponent's cavalry retreats directly. The Tiefu Huns are greedy and stupid, and their fighting is unorganized and undisciplined. Once they see spoils of war, they will definitely stop grabbing them. When their formation is chaotic, they will use all their infantry and cavalry to attack them and tell the people in front of them.
Generals, whoever takes the head of the leading thief general will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be granted the title of county magistrate!"
The messengers left in response, and Fu Jian cast his gaze towards the battlefield ahead, with a flash of light in his eyes: "Yao Chang, do you really think that I can't even deal with you? Huh, this time, I'll discipline you whether or not you'll come back.
!”
Ten days later, Sanyuan, Zhaoshiwu.
There was a lifeless atmosphere in the Qiang camp. The Qiang soldiers guarding the watchtower had chapped lips and skin peeled off from the sun. The scorching sun seemed to have cooked everything on the ground. Many soldiers were lying on the ground.
On the ground, using the last bit of strength, he shouted softly: "Water, water, give me some water!"
Yao Chang was sweating profusely. Looking at the hundreds of soldiers digging wells in front of him, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. After ten days of absence, several pustules had appeared on his face, which showed that he was suffering from anxiety.
To what extent.
A gray-faced sergeant emerged from the seemingly bottomless ground. Beside Yao Chang, Yin Wei rushed up with a quick step, opened his eyes wide, and asked the sergeant: "How do you find it?"
Is there water?”
The sergeant didn't bother to shake off the dust all over his body. He knelt down, kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty (Yao Chang now established himself as a general, a great Chanyu, and the king of Qin for ten thousand years), his subordinates are incompetent, but, but this time,
There’s really no water.”
Yao Chang's body swayed, and the person behind him wanted to help him. He pushed the person behind him away and said sternly: "If you dig it again, I won't believe it. In this land of Sanyuan, there will be no water underground. Hundreds of dollars will be lost."
There are no wells, and none of them can produce water!"
The sergeant sighed, turned around and left with his companions behind him, while Yin Wei frowned deeply and walked to Yao Chang's side: "My lord, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to me. In the last battle, the Tiefu cavalry was arrested for robbing
The baggage was attacked by the Qin army, and all of it was routed. General Yin Mai died in a fierce battle, and our army was severely defeated. Lai's camp was still strong and we could barely hold it. Now Fu Jian has trapped us with a long trench. If our army continues to delay it, it will only
It’s getting worse and worse. Now the army’s water supply is cut off and the wells dug in the ground are dry. If we don’t escape, I’m afraid the whole army will be annihilated here!”
Yao Chang's eyes flashed green: "Yin Sima, what you said is correct, but now Fu Jian is waiting for us to take the initiative to retreat. He retreats in front of the enemy. Morale is low, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. In addition, if the water supply is cut off for a few days, if
If we leave the strong camp, we are afraid that it will disperse in a hurry. As long as the Qin army pursues it with a few thousand old and weak men, our army will be defeated or surrender. This is a dead end and must not be avoided!"
Yin Wei gritted his teeth: "How about abandoning the army, the lord, taking his cronies and troops, riding lightly back to Lingbei, and trying to make progress again?"
Yao Chang hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No way, the tribes in Lingbei elected me as the leader, not because they like me much, but because they believe that the Qin Kingdom will be destroyed, and I can lead them to create a foundation. Now all their tribal elites are here
If I am destroyed in one battle here, I am afraid that after I return to Lingbei, these people will kidnap me and present me to Fu Jian to ask for surrender. It would be a dead end to abandon the army and run away at this time!"
Yin Wei stamped her feet anxiously: "What should we do? Stay here and wait to die?"
Yao Chang gritted his teeth: "We can only count on Murong Hong to save us. Last night, I asked my son Yao Hao to break out of the encirclement and go to Bashang to seek help from Murong Hong. I took him as a hostage and recognized him as the leader of the alliance. I
I thought, Murong Hong is not a fool. We have a common enemy, Fu Jian. If he just sits back and watches Fu Jian destroy me, it will be his turn next. Even if it is just a pretense, more than 10,000 people will show support and attract Fu Jian's attention.
With our strength, we also have the opportunity to break camp and escape overnight."
Yin Wei shook his head: "But the most troublesome thing now is the water shortage. Some people are already dying of thirst. I'm afraid there will be another day without water. We will be doomed before Murong Hong comes."
Yao Chang gritted his teeth: "Then wait one more day. If God has mercy on me, Yao Chang, and helps me succeed, it will not stop me. I have been planning for so many years, and finally messed up Di Qin and raised troops to restore the country.
God will definitely not punish me so harshly. Orders are sent to all the soldiers in the army. Except for the soldiers guarding the camp gate and the craftsmen digging wells to find water, everyone will follow me and pray to God for the protection of the gods. Kill the soldiers in the army.
All cattle and sheep, sacrifice to heaven!"
Yin Wei wondered: "Does it really work? If you kill all the cattle and sheep, what will you eat in the future?"
Yao Chang licked his chapped lips: "If God provides our army with water, it will naturally have something to eat. If we die of thirst without water, no matter how many cattle and sheep we have, what's the use? Send the order. In half an hour,
The whole army prays with me!"
