The Allied Forces were pulled away from the Qin armies from the north and the south until they lost their temper, and Pang Nuan simply stopped attacking.
Order the cavalry to guard the Qin army in the north and south, mobilize all the infantry to retreat to the camp built before, strengthen the camp, and prepare to fight to the death with the two Qin armies here.
This is also a solution. The initiative is completely in the hands of the Qin army, and they can only wait quietly for the Qin army's attack.
The Qin army did not disappoint the Allied Forces, and did not give the Allied Forces much time to recover their morale, lest the Allied Forces become mournful soldiers, which would have been a waste of time, and the casualties might be even greater than the initial attack.
In the early morning of the next day after the Allied Forces returned to the camp, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the Qin Army's general offensive began.
The cavalry covered both sides and were neatly arranged. The fierce military formations pressed against the Allied Army's camp from the north and south. The Qin Army in the west also assumed an offensive posture. Only the Qin Army in the east opened a gap. , showing a defensive posture.
Surrounded by three and one missing, it gave the Allied Forces hope of escaping.
Although even the troops escaping from the east would be intercepted by the Qin army in the east and pursued by two groups of cavalry from the north and south, the hope of escape was really slim, but it was not hopeless.
With this life-saving straw, it will be difficult for the allied forces with low morale and weak military morale to become mourning soldiers, and thus they will not fight to the end with the Qin army.
As the saying goes, if a person exceeds 10,000, there will be no boundaries; if a person exceeds 100,000, the world will be connected to the sky and the earth.
Although the infantry of the Qin Army's northern and southern armies did not reach 100,000, there were still 80,000.
In addition, all the soldiers of the Qin army were dressed in black armor. Looking down from a high altitude, they looked like two vast black clouds floating slowly, like darkness that was about to swallow everything, which put great psychological pressure on the coalition forces.
That is to say, these soldiers are the best of the best. Even if their morale is low and their military morale is low, they still have the most basic qualities and can still resist running away. If they were ordinary soldiers of the Six Nations, they would have collapsed.
The northern and southern Qin armies had obviously communicated with each other. They arrived at the coalition camp at the same time and launched the attack at the same time, and they unanimously chose to place their most elite infantry at the forefront of the military formation.
The Qin army was the first to attack. The large crossbows were lined up one after another and fired continuously until the crossbow soldiers were exhausted. The same was basically the case for the allied forces.
Ordinary soldiers could not defend themselves against the crossbow arrows, which were as thick as spears. They caused a bloody storm wherever they passed. Whether it was the Qin Army or the Allied Forces, anyone who was hit by a crossbow could only consider themselves unlucky and die neatly.
In addition to bed crossbows, there are also trebuchets. Although this thing has not been born at this period in history, but this is not a serious historical world. Let alone trebuchets, there will be split cluster bombs in the future.
The long-range weapons of both sides had finished exerting their power. After the Qin army prepared their military formations, they pressed towards the camp of the coalition forces.
Since the allied forces occupied the favorable location of the camp and were at a commanding height, they could launch an attack a little earlier at this time. The overwhelming rain of arrows slanted down, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air gathered together, creating a terrifying momentum.
However, this did not scare these warriors who had fought many battles. The Qin soldiers skillfully raised their shields under the command of the officers. The bronze shields were connected together to form a copper wall and an iron wall. Most of the arrow rain was blocked, and only a few caused damage.
The arrow rain is not scary to veterans. As long as they are not too unlucky, they usually cannot die. What veterans fear most are those powerful long-range weapons, and they can only leave it to fate.
The soldiers of the Qin army had extremely high fighting qualities. Even when they attacked the Mohist government agencies after reunification, those Qin soldiers still blocked the Mohist government's successive attacks.
If it weren't for the inability to defend against the ground mechanism techniques, it would not be an easy task for the Mohists to destroy the Qin army in formation.
If it were not in a Mohist prison city, but in a relatively open place, and the same Mohist disciples faced the same number of Qin troops in formation, it would definitely be a massacre.
After withstanding a round of attacks from the coalition forces, the shield was removed almost at the same moment.
The archers protected by the shields bent their bows and nocked arrows, their strings like the full moon ready to go. At the moment when the military order was issued, they released their hands at the same time, and two overwhelming arrows rained down on the camp of the coalition forces.
The allied forces in the camp either used obstacles to avoid or defended themselves with shields. Like the Qin army, only a small number of unlucky ones were injured and died.
Both sides fired arrows repeatedly, and the fight was back-and-forth.
A non-elite army would definitely not be able to resist for such a long time. A slightly slower defense would result in a large number of casualties. It could take as little as one round, and as many as three or four rounds before being hit and collapsed.
The competition between evenly matched armies is all about willpower. Whoever fails to hold on first will lose.
Seeing that the allied forces with low morale and lack of morale were still fighting the Qin army, the generals of the Qin army were thankful that they did not launch an attack immediately, otherwise the casualties would have been huge.
However, they were not able to withstand the Qin army's offensive behind them. The difference between shooting from a distance and fighting at close range was not small.
When the Qin army's formation was about ten feet away from the camp, a bunch of machine beasts rushed out from the Qin army's camp, and even more escaping machine beasts came out of the camp. The north and south Qin armies took this opportunity to speed up their siege weapons.
On the wall of the camp.
Pang Nuan definitely had real materials. In just one night, he reinforced the camp like a city wall in an ordinary county town, and also made fire prevention measures with soil, which made it more difficult for the Qin army to attack.
Fortunately, the Qin army was well prepared, with no shortage of siege equipment, and they had also mobilized all the Gongshu family's trap beasts.
There are only two families in the world with gimmick beasts, the Gongshu family and the Mo family. The Gongshu family joined the Qin State, but the Mo family has not joined any force, so naturally they will not lend their precious gimmick beasts to others easily.
The Gongshu family has the support of the Qin State and has abundant manpower and material resources. It has produced many more Mechanism Beasts than the Mo family. The Mo family is relatively poor and rarely creates new Mechanism Beasts. Basically, they are resting on their laurels.
Naturally, small camps could not stop the Qin army, and even the big cities of the Six Kingdoms still could not hinder the Qin army. After paying some casualties, the camp walls of the coalition forces soon fell, and the Qin army invaded the camp.
inside.
In this kind of large-scale war involving nearly 200,000 people on both sides, the power of an individual is extremely small. No matter how powerful the military commander is, he cannot stop the general trend. Small local victories are insignificant.
Facing a pincer attack from the north and south, the already low morale of the Allied Forces was already showing signs of defeat, and a complete defeat was only a matter of time.
…
In the large tent of the Allied Army, Pang Nuan took off his conspicuous armor and put on an ordinary suit of armor. He slowly looked around the tent and sighed softly.
Unfortunately, the opportunity to reverse the general trend of the world, leave a name in history, and surpass the sages of Guigu was completely lost. After this battle, it was only a matter of time before the Qin State unified the world.
Zhao Guo could not go back, so he had to go back to Ghost Valley to avoid the limelight.
At this point, Pang Nuan of Zhao State is dead, and only the nameless Gui Guzi survives in time.
Hmm... Maybe it's not safe to take shelter in the Ghost Valley. I'll go back first to send off my two disciples, and then go out to travel around the country.
Take a good look at it while the Six Kingdoms are still here, you won't have a chance in the future.
As soon as he thought of this, Pang Nuan's body suddenly disappeared in the Chinese army tent, as if he had escaped into the void.
It is not difficult for Pang Nuan, who has master cultivation, to escape, as long as he is not completely surrounded by the army.
Pang Nuan doesn't have much loyalty to the Zhao State. Helping the mother country is second, and the most important thing is his own ambition in advance, and his actions are both good and evil.
Can a good person make a decision that takes people's lives and tests the two disciples' understanding of the choice?
This is very cruel and ruthless when measured by modern moral standards, but in the Warring States Period, it was not just a matter of words that human life was worthless. The most worthless thing was human life.
As a Guiguzi, Pang Nuan only cares about success or failure, regardless of right or wrong. In fact, the previous Guigu leaders and Guigu disciples were like this.
The Guigu sect is an extremely pure technical sect with no ideological program at all. Confucianism talks about self-denial and restoration of propriety, Mohism talks about universal love and non-aggression, Taoism talks about following nature, Legalism talks about the law of heaven and earth, and farmers talk about the four principles. During the farming period, doctors talked about helping the world and saving people.
The Guigu Sect pursues only one goal, and that is to become the strongest!
Teach the disciples the strongest swordsmanship, the strongest art of war, the strongest strategy, etc. As for what the disciples do with what they have learned, that is their own business.
In order to pursue the greatest strength, for the Guigu sect, morality is not important at all, nor is right or wrong, only success or failure is important.
Gui Guzi also warned Ge Nie to put down his life and transcend life. Not to mention two human lives, but even the world before his eyes, what difference does it make?
As far as the Guigu sect's style of conduct is concerned, there is quite a feeling that "assassins who are not controlled by anyone are the most terrifying." In "Five Worms", Han Fei regards political advisors as one of the sources of trouble in the world. It's really true that Not without reason.
Strategist, who doesn't like to cause trouble?
Yao Guangxiao, the black prime minister next to Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, had learned the art of vertical and horizontal. In order to realize his revenge, he wanted to cause chaos in the world. He wanted to create chaos when there was no chaos. He kept stoking Zhu Di.
On the other side, in the main tent of the Wei army, Wei Yong, who had changed his armor, calmly took a special pass token from the soldiers around him, then opened his arms and let the soldiers cover his face. A lifelike mask.
After putting on the mask, Wei Yong immediately changed into a different person, and then left the Chinese army's tent under the escort of his soldiers who had already changed their clothes.
The personal guards who can follow Wei Yong are basically snare killers, and it is worth mentioning that there are Qin army armor and equipment hidden somewhere outside the camp.
With various measures, Wei Yong was able to escape the siege easily.
That's why Wei Yongcai was so calm. He already had a way out, so what was there to worry about?
As for the Wei army and the Wei army who stayed here, Wei Yong could only wish them good luck.
Wei Yong did not bring along the new General Wei who had personally supported the rise to power and the confidant generals in the Wei army.
With his power, there will still be an endless stream of people who return to the Wei Kingdom to serve. As for the blame for the defeat, it must be Pang Nuanbei. His responsibility is only a small part.
Ji Wuye had the same idea as Wei Yong. He took his trusted generals, changed his clothes, and quietly slipped away. He ran away a little earlier than Pang Nuan.
The disappearance of the commander-in-chief of the Korean and Wei armies and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was soon discovered, and soon spread throughout the army, quickly accelerating the defeat of the coalition forces.
Everyone up and down has no intention of continuing to fight, they only think about how to escape...
The direction of escape is naturally to the east. The Qin army gathered heavily from the north and south. The Qin army from the west has already attacked and is getting further and further away from home. The east is the direction of home and country.
In this chaotic situation, most people are just headless flies, following the crowd and running eastward when they see everyone else running eastward.
Because there were too many people running away, before the Qin army could take action, the coalition forces started fighting among themselves in order to fight for their lives, and many people were trampled to death.
Compared with the huge number of people fleeing, the entrance of the camp seemed too narrow. It was not until the camp to the east was demolished by soldiers eager to escape that the dead suddenly descended, either riding horses or running, swarming across the vastness. Green fields.
Many of the soldiers who escaped also lost their minds and fled in three directions: north, south, and west. It could be said that they had thrown themselves into a trap. They were so unlucky that they were all killed without a chance to surrender.
At this time, the Qin army was busy chasing the feast to the east, so why did they care about the leftovers?
Part of the Qin army's cavalry went to chase and kill the allied cavalry, and part of the cavalry went to the front to intercept the scattered infantry, forming a dragnet from east to west with the Qin army to the east.
Coupled with the other three dragnets, if you want to escape, you have to wait until the three dragnets are completely closed, otherwise you will only become a fish in the net, and you will be finished sooner or later.
After most of the coalition forces were surrounded and the Qin army killed some of the coalition soldiers who wanted to resist and refused to surrender, the others all knelt down and surrendered.
In fact, since the White Qi, Qin has basically stopped killing prisoners on a large scale. Cheng Qiao's suggestions were more about reducing the number of deaths before the enemy surrendered.
…
The ninth day of the sixth lunar month is an ordinary day for most people in the world, but it is an important day for the Qin State, because on this day Ying Zheng's eldest son will be born.
Since Mrs. Qing's due date was approaching, the Empress Dowager Huayang took Mrs. Qing to Huayang Palace to take care of her personally, and personally dealt with everything.
At the end of the You hour, in the main hall of Huayang Palace, the important figures of the Qin royal family gathered together, each kneeling and sitting together. Some looked calm, some pretended to be calm, and some looked worried.
Cheng Qiao felt funny in his heart when he saw Ying Zheng pretending to be calm.
It seems that no matter what status a man is in, he will be involuntarily nervous when facing his own child, especially the birth of his first child.
I don’t know if the same will happen when his first child is born?
Probably not. When his first child was born, with the help of his cultivation, there would be no accidents. But this is not certain. Although he has been a man for three generations, he has never been married, let alone a child. Yes, the judgment is not accurate at all.
At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded, and everyone stood up in unison. Cheng Qiao could only stop thinking and follow the crowd and stand up.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy."
"Good news came from the front line. The allied forces that invaded our Qin State have been defeated by our army one by one. The enemy's 120,000 troops were completely lost and countless prisoners were taken. Our country has achieved a hearty and prosperous victory!"
Everyone thought it was the end of Mi Qing's delivery, but they didn't expect the news from the front line, and they were all stunned.
The person who reported the message was a little confused and couldn't figure it out. Isn't this worth being happy about?
"Brother Wang, today is truly a double happiness. My nephew is a very blessed child."
As soon as Cheng Qiao opened his mouth, everyone felt as if they were awake from a dream, with joy on their faces.
As a member of the royal family of the Qin State, they naturally know that the better the Qin State is, the better they will be, and there is no reason to be unhappy.
At this time, not only the outer court had received the news, but also many people in Xianyang City knew the news of Qin's victory, and they celebrated in various ways.
At this time, Ying Zheng was no longer solemn and solemn in front of outsiders. He nodded to Cheng Qiao with a smile on his face to express his approval, then waved his hand, and the servant quickly brought the good news to him.
The more Ying Zheng looked at it, the happier he became. After reading it over and over again, he handed it to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was not interested in the victory, she just wanted to win. At this moment, she was more concerned about his eldest grandson, so she gave up.
Wave your hands.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he did not press for it, and handed the good news to Queen Mother Huayang, Queen Mother Xia, and Mrs. Han. The three of them had the same attitude as Zhao Ji, so the good news finally reached Cheng Qiao's hands.
Cheng Qiao opened the victory report and looked at it carefully, and found that the results of the battle were indeed brilliant. Although there were many coalition generals who had not been caught, none of them were familiar to him.
Although there were some flaws, Cheng Qiao turned around and let it go, not caring.
The problems of the Six Kingdoms cannot be reversed by one or two famous generals. The Six Kingdoms are already terminally ill. If they cannot overthrow Qin, no matter what they do, it will only be a matter of how long they can survive.
After this battle, Zhao, Chu, Han, and Wei lost some of their most elite soldiers, coupled with the loss of generals and officers, food, grass, and weapons, it can be said that their vitality was severely damaged. It may not be possible to restore the military strength before the war for more than ten years.
arrive.
However, the most serious blow to the Six Nations should be the morale. It can be predicted that the penetration of the snare will be easier in the future.
History has changed. In the future, Qin will be able to deal with the six countries more calmly, without having to be so hasty. In this way, the hidden dangers left will be much smaller, and the governance issues after unifying the world will be easier.
Speaking of which, not only did Qin make a profit this time, Qi also made a profit.
If he remembered correctly, in history, after the Allied Forces calmly withdrew from the Qin State, Pang Nuan was unwilling to return without success, and was angry with the Qi State for joining the Qin State. He led his army to capture Qi State's Rao'an, which made Zhao State have
own outlet to the sea.
Qi State was forced by the military power of Zhao State and the remaining power of the Hezong State. It dared not speak out in anger, so it could only turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing happened.
There are benefits to being the younger brother of the Qin State. Historically, the people of the Qi State have enjoyed a rather long-lasting peace.
Cheng Qiao handed the good news to Zong Zheng. He wanted to say that after this battle, the six countries had become bones in the graves, but when he thought of his mother and the background of the two grandmothers, he quickly changed his mind.
"Brother Wang, we are blessed with double happiness. I think we should have a good celebration."
"Tonight we will not only give a banquet to the ministers, but also inform the people of the city and cancel the curfew, so that the people will be happy."
Cheng Qiao's idea was unanimously approved by everyone in the palace, especially Zhao Ji who liked the excitement the most. He made the decision directly and immediately ordered Zhao Gao to go down and take care of it.
The suggestion is very reasonable, and since Ying Zheng is very happy today, he will naturally not object. Besides, even if he objects, it will be ineffective.
The orders issued by Zhao Ji, the empress dowager who oversees the country, are almost equivalent to royal orders. In terms of legitimacy and authority of legal principles, neither the Empress Dowager Huayang nor the Empress Dowager Xia can compare with them, let alone Ying Zheng who is not in charge.
Even if Ying Zheng becomes the pro-government, Zhao Ji, as the biological mother, will have no problem beating Ying Zheng.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded again, and it was a clear female voice that had already arrived before anyone arrived.
"Madam has given birth, Madam has given birth to a young master, a young master."
After hearing this, everyone quickly got up and headed towards the delivery room in the side hall. There were quite a few people there, and with the maids and maids waiting on them, the scene was quite big.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
When they arrived outside the delivery room, a little guy with eyes closed, wrapped in a crimson swaddle with gold and silver threads, was taken out by the palace's special midwife. Seeing a group of top noble people, he didn't know for a moment who should be handed over to him.
Who hugged.
In such a scene, let alone Cheng Qiao, the uncle, and even Ying Zheng, the biological father, had to be ranked third, so the two grandmothers and Queen Mother Zhao Ji could only go to hold the little guy first.
As the eldest son of Ying Zheng, even though he is not the legitimate son of the queen, he can be said to be doted on by thousands of people since he was born.
Seeing the messy scene, the two brothers could only run to the side and chat.
"Little brother, my brother's eldest son has been born. It's not okay for you to not get married yet. You have to hurry up." Ying Zheng showed off with a smile on his face.
At this time, Ying Zheng showed a trace of the childishness he had when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Soon, soon."
Cheng Qiao was serious about what he said, but to Ying Zheng, it seemed perfunctory.
However, Ying Zheng did not continue to show off and urge. He was very close to and cherished his younger brother. Instead, he talked about another very important thing.
"Little brother, you have made great contributions this time. In addition to your previous achievements, I think your title should be promoted. I believe that the queen mother will also support it."
"As my brother, I am blessed with a double blessing. Why should I also let you, my little brother, have a happy one, right?"
Promotion?
He is already a "jun", and if he can rise further, he can only become a Chehou among "junhou".
Lu Buwei, Meng Ao, Wang Jian and others have rectified his name, and coupled with his previous achievements and the preferential treatment of his royal status, he can be considered justifiable. In this case, there is no need to refuse.
"Brother Wang, you are wrong about this."
Ying Zheng looked confused when he heard this. Where did he go wrong?
"I am also blessed with a double happiness. My nephew is born. Isn't it just a blessing for me as an uncle?"
"Haha, indeed, it was my brother's fault." Ying Zheng laughed.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the eldest son to be named."
Zong Zheng from Zong Zheng Mansion ran to Ying Zheng, his old face beaming with joy.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he remembered that his eldest son had not yet been named, and the next moment he wanted to name him.
But remembering that Mi Qing had worked so hard to give birth to her eldest son, she felt a pity in her heart, so she set off to the clean delivery room to inquire.
After a while, Ying Zheng came back and told Zong Zheng his name. Cheng Qiao heard clearly from the side that it was "Fusu".
Upon hearing this, Lao Zongzheng quickly took up his pen and added Fusu's name to the royal jade plate and genealogy. From then on, Fusu became the eldest son of the Qin State with upright roots and a clear name.
Cheng Qiao looked at the little guy who was being held in high esteem by all the stars, thinking that this little guy didn't know how much expectations were placed on him. Even he had expectations.
The real hard days are yet to come. Have fun while you are young. When you are older, you will never have the chance again.
The seedling Fusu must not grow crookedly in this life!
If Fu Su could satisfy Ying Zheng and be appointed crown prince early, how could there be so many troubles?
