"Don't ask, sir, I didn't look at the almanac when I went out, and I met a fool like your nephew..."
Fifty miles outside Pingyang City, the mountains and rivers are steep. Xing Darong led a mighty army to stop here. His men were very puzzled:
"General, why don't we defend the city? Wouldn't it be more advantageous?"
"Fuck you."
Xing Darong was furious: "The king is still in the city. How can we draw the flames of war to the king? Besides, with the Xuanhua ax in my hand, I can definitely kill Han Xin under his horse."
"Yes, yes! The general is brilliant."
The subordinates did not dare to say any more and had no choice but to ask: "General, what should we do now?"
"I didn't realize that the mountains here are steep. They are perfect for setting up ambushes. Tell the brothers to hide well. When the enemy arrives, we will rush out together and catch him by surprise. This is called winning by surprise, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, the general is well versed in the art of war, and I admire him."
While Xing Darong was discussing with his subordinates, two Qin Army Falcon Dragon Guards who were lurking in the team quickly broke away from the team and galloped towards the Qin Army's marching direction on horseback.
"Commander, two Falcon Dragon Guards have come to report that the Wei army has an ambush in front." Yang Kaibao reported at the Suzaku Army tent: "According to the report from the scouts we sent, this news is true. What do you think we should do?"
"How many people are there in the enemy army and who is their leader?"
"About 150,000, they are all elites of the Wei State. The coach is a guy named Xing Da Rong. He was unknown before and I don't know what his background is." Yang Kaibao replied with contempt on his face.
Han Xin rolled his eyes at him: "Before, I was unknown."
"Um, I don't dare, I don't mean it."
"Okay, I don't blame you, I just mean not to underestimate the enemy, and..."
After saying that, Han Xin continued to add: "Since the enemy's elite troops have come out, our army has come with the momentum of a great victory. It is time to annihilate them all in one fell swoop and defeat the Wei State in one battle, in order to repay Your Majesty's great kindness."
"I sincerely obey the general's military orders. The Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years, and your Majesty will last ten thousand years."
Seeing the high morale of the generals, Han Xin began to lay out the battle strategy: "This time, I still don't know the intentions of the enemy commander. Just now, I and the generals have studied the terrain here. There is a must-pass road ahead that is indeed an ambush.
It’s a good place, but if the other party knows about it, it will be a bit troublesome.”
"For the sake of safety, our Italian army will advance in three groups. Teng Xin will lead the front army to explore the way, and I will lead the middle army to follow up."
After Han Xin finished speaking, he looked at Yang Kaibao: "Old Yang, you lead the rear army. If you see a battle ahead, you can go behind the enemy to intercept them. I estimate that with the combat power of our Da Qin soldiers, Teng Xin and I can defeat each other.
After running for your life, you only need to snipe and kill the deserters. Do not leave them alone with the enemy.
"We march each team half an hour apart. What do you think?"
The generals stood up and said: "The commander is wise."
At noon, the sun was shining in the sky, and the soldiers of the Wei army were guarding the stone formation with great vigor. They were sweating profusely and did not dare to relax at all, but they could not hide their physical and mental exhaustion.
And Xing Darong was sitting on the top of the mountain, eating an unknown piece of fruit. Several subordinates kept fanning him with their sleeves: "General, the Qin army hasn't come yet. Could it be that you are afraid of the general? Why don't you go down?"
Rest and let the general watch?"
"You know nothing, how can a general be lazy? What if I leave and you guys are lazy?"
"Look at what you said, how could it be possible?" Several subordinates smiled sheepishly. At this time, a Wei soldier ran up and reported: "General, the Qin army is here, the Qin army is here."
When Xing Darong heard this, he jumped up excitedly and picked up his Xuanhua axe: "His grandma's are finally here. Hurry, prepare to fight. When the Qin army arrives, stone them to death."
Teng Xin was leading his vanguard troops towards Xing Da Rong's ambush site, but when he was approaching, he saw vague figures flickering in the canyons on both sides in the distance, so he ordered to temporarily stop the advance.
"General, there is indeed an ambush." Obviously, the two flag generals also saw something was wrong: "Why don't we go behind them first and catch him by surprise."
"No, military orders cannot be violated. The commander ordered us to move forward. In fact, he wants us to be used as bait to draw out all the enemy troops. We must obey the order." Teng Xin said with cold eyes: "Huh, even so, we still have to obey the order."
Don't be afraid of them. Give the order and the whole army will raise their shields, take precautions, and march in formation."
"No!" Several generals received the order and led their troops into the valley.
"General, they are here." Xing Darong's men looked excited.
"Brothers, the opportunity to make great achievements has come, let me go." Xing Darong gave the order, and in a moment, rocks, giant trees and imitated petroleum rockets rolled down the mountain.
The Qin army at the foot of the mountain had already used shields to build an airtight iron wall, but even so, under the attack of hard-to-extinguish rockets and boulders weighing dozens of kilograms, some casualties were inevitable.
"Block it, block it for me quickly. I didn't expect that the stubborn Wei army also learned to fire fire oil rockets." Teng Xin hid in the formation surrounded by shields and kept giving orders.
Seeing that the formation was a little loose, the generals of the Qin army at all levels showed extremely high military quality. In addition, the Qin army was well-trained. Not only could they barely support it, but they took advantage of the gap in the obstruction and raised the Zhuge Liangnu to counterattack up the mountain.
As time went by, the Wei army's offensive became weaker and weaker, but after the Qin army withstood the first wave of the most violent attacks, its combat effectiveness was slowly recovering.
In the end, taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's attacks, Teng Xin ordered his men to use several crossbows and fire two volleys at the mountain, shooting one of Xing Da Rong's generals to pieces on the spot.
"Made, what is this? It's so powerful. I don't want to play anymore. Send an order and put up my handsome flag. I will scare them to death." Xing Darong patted his butt, stood up, and looked at the vertical flag behind him.
He raised several huge flags and shouted proudly towards the bottom of the mountain: "Hey! General coming down the mountain, do you recognize my General Pingyang, Xing Da Rong?"
Teng Xin looked confused: "Why should I know you?"
"Ma De, you are so ignorant that you don't even know me, General Xing San Dao. Wait, I will take your head within three swords." After saying that, he shouted: "Brothers, I have been hungry for my sword for a long time.
I'm so impatient, I'm going to scratch them alive, come with me and charge."
Seeing the opponent charging, Teng Xin did not dare to be careless. Although he felt that the opponent's commander was a bit incompetent, the enemy's momentum was still very scary. He immediately ordered his soldiers to work hard to face the enemy.
A bloody battle began. Xing Da Rong rushed into Teng Xin's army with an army of 150,000 people. They collided head-on with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Just as Teng Xin was struggling to hold on, Han Xin arrived with his army in person.
