Chapter 34 Connecting the Two Cities
Wang Ao clenched his beard and said, "It would be best for General Feng Jing to send someone to trick the city gate into opening! Our army will be able to swarm in."
Feng Jing understood as soon as he heard it: "I am willing to go, but how to do it specifically?" Wang Zhu said; "It is best to lure Bai Zhi out, so that we can capture him in one fell swoop!" Wang Ao paced in the room and said; "General Feng can
Ask him to rescue Xia Yang and lead him to the fork in the road. Our army will ambush on three sides and we will definitely be able to capture Bai Zhi alive!"
Bai Zhi was in the room with his legs crossed watching the dancers dance. Suddenly someone came to report that General Feng Jing came with a group of soldiers from outside the city. It seemed that he had lost the battle. They were in a very embarrassed state. The flags were in tatters and the soldiers were covered in blood.
!Bai Zhixin said, It’s impossible. Who did he fight with? There is no battle report at all.
There was no air force in those days! The enemy could fly over out of thin air?!
"Baizhi was puzzled: "He's so evil. What kind of defeat did he fight? Come out with me and have a look!"
Full of suspicion, Bai Zhi asked his own soldier captain to go out and invite Feng Jing in. When Feng Jing came in, he heard a string of silk and bamboo orchestras and the singing of orioles in the room. He knew that Bai Zhi was enjoying himself again! He thought to himself,
This guy just has bad conduct!
"General Qi, General Feng Jing is here!"
"Get down, get down!" Bai Zhi turned around and saw Feng Jing, whose face was covered with blood and his armor was in tatters. He was so frightened that he stood up from the ground and waved his hand to drive away the dancers!
"General Feng, what's going on?"
Feng Jing knelt down on one knee and said sadly: "Something bad has happened, General Bai Zhi. The Qin army crossed the river in large numbers. The Yellow River crossing has been lost. Now the Qin army is besieging Xia Yang City. I led a team of troops to my death."
I came out to ask you for help!"
"Ah! Qin Army!" Bai Zhi couldn't believe his ears: "The Qin Army came out from there? How is this possible? A few days ago, didn't the king say that the King of Qin was a coward and a coward who would never dare to cross the Yellow River?
Of?"
Feng Jingxin said that the king just loves to brag. Do you know the truth or not?
"In any case, the Qin army has now crossed the Yellow River, and the king is no longer in the Wei state. I am afraid that Xia Yang City cannot be defended by the small number of soldiers. General, please send troops to rescue!"
Bai Zhi moved his lips, glanced at Feng Jing with twinkling eyes, and said to himself, buddy, I can't protect myself, save you? Who will save me if the Qin army comes to kill me at the door?
"In my opinion, we should report this matter to the king as soon as possible and ask the king to make a decision. Neither you nor I have the right to mobilize the army at will. This is very inappropriate. I'd better write a letter to the king!" Bai Zhi just didn't want to go.
"Write a letter?" Feng Jing said with a bitter smile; "General Bai Zhi, I'm afraid that by the time the letter is delivered, Xia Yangcheng will have lost it long ago. Water far away cannot save the fire close by! Please give me a helping hand, general!"
Bai Zhi took a breath of air, what should he do? If he refuses to save him, if Xia Yang is lost, the king will definitely blame him. If the handsome soldiers go to rescue him, he might not be able to save even one-third of his own land.
!
Feng Jing was afraid that he would not be fooled, so he said: "Xia Yang is the gateway to the Wei State. Once Xia Yang is lost, the Wei State will be out of danger. If we hold Xia Yang for three to five days, we can write to the king and ask him to return from the front."
Even if the two cities of Xia Yang and Anyi are lost, the king can still attack the Qin army from inside and outside Pingyang City. Then we can be considered to have made a great contribution!"
When Bai Zhi heard that there was some truth to what he said, he made up his mind and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the Qin army have?" Feng Jingxin said sarcastically: "No more than 40,000 to 50,000 at most. There are two foreign troops in Xia Yang City, and two generals and commanders."
Ten thousand troops have left the city, and we are evenly matched with the Qin army. Our army is waiting for work, while the Qin army is a tired army, and we will definitely win!"
Feng Jing's deception made Bai Zhi very excited, as if there were 10,000 kilograms of gold waiting for him to pick it up. From the reluctance at the beginning, he suddenly turned into the impatience at this moment!
"General Feng, don't wait any longer. Hurry up and take me out of the city to fight. Damn the Qin soldiers. They will never come back today!"
When Feng Jing saw that Bai Zhi had been fooled, he was overjoyed and hurried out to rectify his troops!
An hour later, 25,000 troops came out of Anyi City. Baizhi, who was blinded by fame and fortune, only left 5,000 troops to guard the city. All the elites were transferred to rescue Xia Yang.
Anyi is only a hundred miles away from Xiayang at most, and the cavalry can reach it within an hour or two. In addition to his eagerness to make a contribution, Baizhi ordered the troops to advance at full speed. When he was twenty miles away from Xiayang City, there was a fork in the road.
This dense peach forest!
The numerous peach blossoms are blooming extremely noisily in the sunshine, densely packed, like a morning glow! Each peach tree holds up clusters of pink petals, as if rouge clouds have fallen for hundreds of miles. The pink peach blossoms are one by one.
One flower is crowded with the entire branch, and dozens of trees are connected together to completely block the sight of pedestrians on both sides! From a distance, it is majestic like a fiery red sea wave! Countless buds spurt out intoxicating fragrance!
This atmosphere definitely does not remind people of killing!
However, the cavalry led by Wang Ling, Guan Ying and others were hidden in this pleasant scenery like clouds.
Baizhi's leading troops successfully passed the forked road, and suddenly heard several gunshots behind them! The middle route army had exploded, and arrows like a heavy rain flew out from the peach groves on the two forked roads! Soldiers fell one after another.
He got off his horse and died an unexpected death. Countless cries of killing erupted from the peach forest at the same time! Countless Qin cavalry rushed out through the secret peach trees, charging in and killing everyone in sight. The Wei soldiers were suddenly intercepted.
They were divided into several sections. In panic, they fled in all directions and suffered heavy losses!"
Bai Zhi yelled: "There is an ambush, go back quickly!" As soon as the horse's head turned around, a white light flashed beside him, his neck felt cold, and his head flew into the sky with the white light! Feng Jing raised the bloody sword and shouted loudly
Duan shouted: "I have killed Baizhi, and you still haven't surrendered!" The soldiers of Wei were different from those of Chu. They were very close to Qin, and they were basically used to Qin's rule, and they were very patriotic.
Damn, 80% of the more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers and horses under Wei Bao were recruited from strong men. These people were not willing to fight in the first place. When they saw their general Bai Zhi being killed, most of them knelt down and begged for mercy.
The ambush battle achieved a decisive victory!
Guan Ying ordered Li Bi to command 10,000 troops, confiscated the weapons of the remaining Wei soldiers, and escorted them back to Xia Yang. The remaining troops continued to move forward, heading straight for Anyi!
At the foot of Anyi City!
Feng Jing led a group of thousands of defeated soldiers who were covered in blood. He held Baizhi's head in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Oh no, we were ambushed by the Qin army outside the city. General Baizhi has already
You have sacrificed your life for your country. The Qin army will catch up soon. Open the city gate quickly and let me enter the city!"
Bai Zhi was not in the city, and the Anyi garrison was leaderless. Captain Ding Gu saw horse hooves behind Feng Jing raising dust and birds flying everywhere. He knew that the enemy was coming and was so scared that he was at a loss. He didn't expect that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were only a few.
In a matter of seconds, he was defeated and retreated. Even General Bai Zhi was dead!
"Open the city gate and let the general enter the city!" Ding Gu thought to himself, letting Feng Jing in will at least have an official backbone, and the provincial Qin army will not be able to cope with it!"
Feng Jing laughed in his heart; "The plan is done!" He led thousands of troops into the city.
Guan Ying's army arrived shortly after, and there were thirty to fifty thousand cavalry and infantry in the black mass! Ding Gu stood on the top of the city and became more and more frightened as he looked at it! Feng Jing climbed onto the city tower at a sprint speed of 100 meters and shouted breathlessly; "
Who is in charge here?!"
Ding Gu rushed to greet him; "General, the last general Ding Gu is responsible for the city defense for the time being!" Feng Jing asked; "What is your military rank?!" Ding Gu said;
The officer is several levels behind me, so I don’t have much ability, so I’ll start by scaring him and putting some psychological pressure on him!
"Captain Ding, my information was wrong. It turns out that the Qin army did not only have 30,000 to 50,000 men, but 3 to 50,000. It's all because the spy stuttered. Damn it, he said the wrong thing. Seeing the enemy troops approaching the border, the city
We cannot have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what do you think we should do?"
When Ding Gu heard that the Qin army had three and a half million troops, he almost wet his pants on the spot: "Three - three and a half million - the last general - the last general has no choice - everything is at the discretion of the general!" Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
, flowed into the shirt.
"General, I'm not familiar with the situation in the city. It's up to you, Lieutenant Ding, to stop the enemy. General, I will listen to you in everything!" Feng Jing held Ding Gu's shoulders and looked like he was entrusted with an important task: "Please
Got it!"
Ding Gu's knees weakened and he knelt down in front of Feng Jing: "General, you'd better hire someone else. Five thousand people are fighting 500,000 people. In the end, I won't be able to command this battle. General, why don't you give me death?"
"
"This - this - I can't even defeat Captain Ding. I, the general, have just come out and are not familiar with the brothers, so I can't compete with the Qin army. What should I do? Please don't shirk it, Captain Ding.
This is a national matter, and this is not the time for you to be humble." Feng Jing was so anxious that he stamped his feet!
Ding Gu burst into tears; "General, if I don't have humility, it's really a big deal! General, if you can't win against 5,000 people against 500,000 people, your brothers will have to die in vain. I'm afraid even half of them will be killed."
If the time barely comes down, it’s over. General, we might as well surrender!"
"Yes, it's better to surrender!"
"If you can't win, it's better to surrender!" Wei Bing all agreed!
Guan Ying was shouting at the top of the city again at the top of his voice: "Soldiers on top of the city, listen, your general Bai Zhi has been killed by our army. Come out and surrender quickly! I will give you a stick of incense."
Taking time into consideration, if you don’t surrender, I, the general, will attack the city!”
Ding Gu blushed so anxiously that his neck was thick, he moved his knees, hugged Feng Jing's thigh and cried: "General, surrender, don't think about it anymore, it's too late to think about it anymore!"
Feng Jing was happy in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Isn't this good? I'm sorry to the king and General Bai Zhi. Besides, the brothers may not agree?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the top of the city said.
The soldiers all raised their arms and shouted: "Surrender, surrender, surrender!"
"General, listen, this is public opinion!" Ding Gu kowtowed and begged!
"Okay, okay, since none of the brothers are willing to fight this battle, I, the general, have nothing to do even if Sun Wu is alive. I will order Kaicheng to surrender!"
Guan Ying saw the white flag erected at the top of the city. The soldiers on the city threw all their bows, arrows and swords from the city wall. The heavy city gate creaked open. Knowing that Feng Jing had successfully persuaded him to surrender, he laughed loudly and extended his arms to
Then waved: "Enter the city!"
Within one day, two cities of the Wei Kingdom were lost one after another, and Wei King Wei Bao and the general stationed in the capital, Uncle Zhou, had no idea! Wang Zhu immediately decided to repeat his old trick and sent Feng Jing to Pingyang to trick Uncle Zhou into opening the city gate!
Uncle Zhou is not as easy to deal with as Bai Zhi. This person is very sophisticated. He can clearly remember the names of the two thousand soldiers under him and who has asked for leave on a certain day of this month, without any mistakes.
!
Feng Jing used the same men and horses, the same tattered flags, the same blood-stained armor, and the same sad emphasis to shout outside the city, claiming that the two cities of Xia Yang and Anyi had been lost, and asked Uncle Zhou to open the city to allow him to take refuge!
Uncle Zhou was also not on the top of the city, but unlike Bai Zhi, he was not hiding in the house watching the dancers dance. Uncle Zhou was inspecting the military camp and asking for help to win people's hearts! He was familiar with the art of war of all dynasties and was the most admired among all the great military strategists.
The person is Wu Qi. The most important thing Wu Qi pays attention to when using troops is to treat his soldiers well and invest emotionally. Only in this way will the soldiers fight with their lives, which is better than giving gold and silver as rewards. Uncle Zhou has always done this, so he has the prestige in the army.
The degree is very high, sometimes a word is more effective than Wei Bao, and the soldiers can die for him!
Feng Jing knew very well that the methods used to deal with Bai Zhi might not work on him!
Uncle Zhou didn't dare to invite Feng Jing in carelessly. There were many stories about the defeated general who surrendered to the enemy and then fought back. Uncle Zhou followed the reporting soldiers to the top of the city in a flash. He held the hilt of his sword and looked down. Sure enough, he saw
I saw a group of bloody and embarrassed Wei soldiers waiting anxiously outside the moat. The leader was Wei general Feng Jing of Qin nationality!
There were many injuries and illnesses in the team, their helmets were crooked, they were in a state of disarray, and they were crying one after another! They were like a group of refugees. Uncle Zhou didn't even hear the battle report coming from the front line in Xia Yang, so many remnant soldiers appeared out of nowhere and he couldn't help it.
There is no doubt that Feng Jing is from the Qin State, and his ancestor was still a highly respected official in the Qin State. He had long suggested Wei Bao to guard against him, but Wei Bao refused to listen! Uncle Zhou became very suspicious for a moment!
"General Feng, what's going on? How did you end up like this?" Uncle Zhou stuck his head out from the city wall.
"Oh, General Zhou, it's not good. The Qin Army's hundreds of thousands of troops sneaked across the Yellow River, occupied Xia Yang and captured Anyi. They have already reached Pingyang. General Zhou, hurry up and open the city to let me in!"
Uncle Zhou was stunned for a while: "What? Where is this - Bai Zhi?"
"General Baizhi has died for his country! A soldier picked up his head. Please ask General Zhou to verify his identity!" As he said this, he took a human head that had dried blood from the saddle bridge and raised it above his head! The head passed by
