"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!" After chasing for ten miles, Jin Yao stopped and signaled the Chinese army to withdraw their troops.
Wang Ben and Xiao Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay, okay, they were still awake, and they did not blindly attack the enemy's main force.
"This is interest!" Jin Yao left four big characters on the stone carvings on the roadside in front of all the soldiers, and then returned to Guanyi with the Qin army and the prisoners.
"Dare to love, dare to hate, that's true!" Instead of feeling that Jin Yao was using public weapons for personal use, all the officers and soldiers of the Qin army felt that such a general was more humane, and they all followed the man dressed in black and white with a smile.
"What, the whole vanguard army was wiped out?" In the central tent of the joint army, Lord Xinling and the top generals from various countries couldn't believe their ears. It was an army of 30,000 people, and the enemy was 50,000 people.
, and it was impossible to send them all out to ambush. How could the entire vanguard army be wiped out in less than half a day?
"Yes!" The messenger actually couldn't believe his ears and eyes, but this was the frontline battle report he received. Then he saw the defeated army fleeing in all directions, and was coerced back to the Chinese army's big tent to report the news.
"How dare the Qin army?" Wei Wuji was furious. You don't know how many people we have? How dare you leave the city and fight with us in the wild?
Xiang Yan, Ji Wuye, Yan Chunjun, Le Cheng and other generals from various countries all lowered their heads, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. Wei Guo's loss of 30,000 horses was something they loved to see, and no one wanted to see it.
Let Wei become bigger and stronger.
When the Chinese army arrived at the place where the vanguard army was defeated, Lord Xinling also saw the big bloody characters on the side of the road. He looked at everyone with some confusion, not understanding what it meant.
"The leader of the Qin army is Jin Yao, the son of Jin Bi, and the Jin clan was destroyed by the king after Jin Bi's death!" The retainer Xue Gong reminded him in a low voice.
They knew that the Jin clan was exterminated by King Wei, but no one in the world knew that. Even those who knew kept silent. Therefore, everyone thought it was Lord Xinling who instigated it.
Therefore, Mr. Xinling has to take the blame, whether he takes it or not.
"Who else is there besides Jin Yao?" Lord Xinling asked, suppressing his anger.
"Vice-General Wang Bi, the son of Lieutenant Wang Jian of the Qin State, was previously unknown. Changshi Shuixu is the son of Shugao, a senior official under Lord Anling." Mr. Xue once again explained the information he had collected. In fact, Lord Xinling already knew this.
But they have never taken it seriously. Among the three, the only famous one is Jin Yao, who once served as the minister of Zhao State and is now the leader of the Mohist debate. As for the other two, they are not considering it at all.
But as more and more intelligence was collected, it became clear to them that neither Wang Ben nor Xiao Xu was easy to deal with.
"The Qin army retreated to Guanyi, and Guancheng became the territory of Wei." Xiang Yan calmly analyzed the battlefield situation.
But everyone present was not a fool, and they all understood the meaning of Xiang Yan's words, that is, Guanyi is the land of your Wei State, and it should be taken back by your Wei army yourself. At most, they are helping to plunder the formation.
Lord Xinling also knew what Xiang Yan meant, but he had nothing to do. If he couldn't capture Guanyi, then his reputation as the leader of the alliance would be in vain.
He never thought about asking the He Zong army to help recapture Guanyi, so he just led the He Zong army to station at the foot of Xinzheng City, and then sent the Wei army to Guanyi to call for war.
"Wei Wuji is really here this time!" Wang Ben and others followed Jin Yao to Guanyi City and looked at the combined army outside the city.
"If he wants to fight, he will fight, and he is afraid that they will fail!" The Qin army had just won a great victory, and their morale was high, so they were not afraid of joining the army at all.
"If he wants to fight, then fight with him!" Jin Yao also nodded. He knew the filthiness of the Hezong army, or maybe everyone from hundreds of families knew it.
Therefore, the Qin army went out again and after a simple battle with the Wei army sent by Lord Xinling, they retreated regardless of the outcome.
After three days of tentative fighting, the morale of the Qin army was high, and the Wei army completely retreated to the city of Xinzheng without getting any advantage.
"The real war is about to come!" Jin Yao looked at Wang Ben, Xiao Xu and the generals and said solemnly.
Even if the combined army is full of evil, there are still 200,000 troops under the city. This is why they dare not go too far out of the city.
"The Mohists are well-deserved for their reputation for being good at defense!" Three days of tentative battles also let the Hezong army know the strength of the Qin army. It was impossible to pick up the slack and suppress the weak, and the only thing left was to attack by force.
"Everyone, this is no longer something that Wei can take by itself!" Lord Xinling looked at the generals of various countries and said, if they cannot take this Qin army, they will have no way to return to Hanguguan to attack Qin.
Xiang Yan, Ji Wuye, Lecheng and Yan Chunjun are all looking at their noses with their eyes, and their minds with their noses, as if their minds are wandering, and they seem to be confused. They will take action, but not from the beginning. The Qin army and the Wei army are mutually exclusive.
Consumption is what they want to see most.
Lord Xinling was furious, but had no choice but to send all the remaining 70,000 Wei troops in his hands, and chose to attack Guanyi.
"Here we come!" Jin Yao and Wang Ben were patrolling all over Guanyi, commanding the Qin army to resist the Wei army's attack.
Fortunately, they received a large amount of supplies from Xinzheng and built Guanyi into an iron barrel, giving the Wei army no chance at all.
"Damn it!" Lord Xinling looked at the battle report of the first day's attack. The Wei army's losses on the first day were as high as four digits, not counting the seriously injured, but the Qin army's casualties were probably less than three digits.
Xiang Yan, Le Cheng and others were still watching the excitement. They wanted to use the help of the Wei army to destroy all the fortifications outside Guanyi.
As the Wei army's offensive became more and more fierce, the defensive pressure on Guanyi became more and more intense. All the peripheral fortifications were demolished, and the remaining ones had to defend the city. The casualties of the Qin army also increased sharply.
"Now we are competing to see who can withstand it first!" Jin Yao patrolled the camp. This was no longer a useful strategy, the competition was about who could last until the end.
"The three shifts take turns to rest. One of the three of us must stay absolutely awake at all times!" Jin Yao looked at Wang Ben and Xiao Xu.
They were always outnumbered by the combined army, and they did not even have as many generals as their opponents. After a few days of aggressive attack, the Wei army could no longer withstand it, and then they were replaced by the Han army and other large armies.
Therefore, the three of them cannot be in charge of the army's defense at the same time, otherwise the three of them will be overwhelmed by each other sooner or later, and the same goes for the same soldiers.
Wang Ben and Xiao Xu also nodded. If the three of them keep a high degree of tension, they will collapse sooner or later. They can repel the combined army many times, but as long as the combined army defeats them once, they will be completely destroyed.
Therefore, rotation is inevitable. One of the three people must remain absolutely awake at all times and do not give the other party a chance to take advantage. They cannot afford to lose.
