Yang Duanhe watched the Qin army's bloody battle against Pucheng and fought bravely to take the lead. However, the Wei army also regarded death as home and resisted tenaciously. He knew that he had lost the opportunity to attack Pucheng quickly. The Wei army would definitely react and reinforce Puyang, and with it the Yan family.
All of them will become a tough nut to crack.
"Take your troops back to camp."
The sound of gold ringing spread throughout the battlefield, and the Qin army gradually withdrew from the city.
The Wei army guard on the top of the city spit out the blood in his mouth, hammered his fist on the city wall, and stared at the retreating Qin army with red eyes.
The captain in charge of the city gate ran up, took off his soaked helmet, and gasped, "General, this Pucheng is now an isolated city. It is not an option to keep guarding it like this."
The guard general looked at the soldiers lying limp on the ground and pulled the captain aside. "If we don't block the city gate, is there any way to stop Qin Dog's siege mechanism? How long will the city have enough food and grass to last?"
"We have enough food and grass for three months, but we don't have enough armaments. If we consume it like this in the past two days, we won't be able to last a month."
"It's okay. The Qin army won't attack the city like this again. They can't bear the damage in this battle. Send the order, brothers, have a good meal tonight."
"Promise!" The captain was overjoyed, turned around and shouted loudly: "General's order, a big victory today, a full meal tonight! A full meal tonight~"
The soldiers holding their weapons licked their dry lips one after another, and many of them showed a little smile.
The guard took out his sword and wiped the inscription on the front of the sword grid, which read in Wei characters: "Xi Wu".
Xiwu, also known as Gongsun Xi, the famous general of the Wei State, had a brilliant record in his life. He defeated Qi, Chu and Qin many times. Unfortunately, in the Battle of Yique, he encountered the fierce Bai Qi and Han Jun, a pig comrade, and was ultimately defeated.
die.
This Pucheng guard general was Gongsun Yao, a descendant of Gongsun Xi. His ancestor was killed by the Qin army, and his descendants naturally hated Qin deeply. Although the Gongsun family did not produce a world-famous general, they have always been
They are the middle and upper echelons of the Wei army.
Gongsun Yao stood at the top of the city, looking towards the direction of the Qin army's camp, "Looking at the days, the reinforcements from Daliang should be arriving. Zhao Wangyan will never let the Qin army occupy Pucheng. Holding it is not a problem, but if we want to let Qin
The army is defeated and retreats, call~"
Qin Army Camp
Yang Duanhe gathered the generals of the army to discuss how to break the city. Li Xin stood out from the others because of his ability to conquer the city first.
Yang Duanhe stood at the main position, looking at the current situation of the three Jin Dynasties and said: "This Gongsun Yao is quite capable. Our army's plan to quickly capture Yuan Puyan was largely defeated by him. Next, the blitzkrieg will change.
It’s become a protracted war.”
Li Xin clasped his fists and stood up, "General, please give me orders to attack again! The Wei people have repulsed my siege for so many days. Our army retreated earlier than usual today. The other side must have thought that I was exhausted and neglected to take precautions. They can take advantage of the night."
Attack again."
Yang Duanhe nodded, "Well, that's a good idea. But the other side shouldn't be underestimated and must be on guard. The purpose of the night attack is not to destroy the city, but to knock down the morale that the Wei army has built up after repelling our army. Tonight you
After attacking the city three times, the Wei army will not be able to sleep at night."
"promise!"
At this time, Tanqi came to report, "Report to General, General Wang Ben has led an army of 50,000 to come to the reinforcements and has reached the stronghold thirty miles away."
Yang Duanhe frowned, "Wang Ben? Although I am blocked here, it is only temporary. Your Majesty has sent 50,000 additional reinforcements. The situation of the battle will definitely change. Pass the order and send 50% more exploration cavalry, focusing on the direction of Zhao."
"promise!"
…
At night, the Qin army quietly approached Pucheng. Under the cover of night, only dark shadows could be seen.
By the time they were all within a stone's throw, all the people in the front row fell into the pit and were stabbed to death by the sharp bamboos in it.
The torches were lit up at the top of the city, and Gongsun Yao was looking down, "How dare you invade my city with such a small plan and shoot arrows!"
Li Xin saw that the other party was indeed prepared, so he did not do anything unnecessary and quickly led his team to retreat.
The Wei army repelled the Qin army's night attack, and felt a lot more at ease. Gongsun Yao was not happy at all when he saw Li Xin escaping in embarrassment, and said vigilantly: "You must still be on guard tonight and don't relax."
"Yes, General."
About an hour later, Li Xin led the Qin army to attack again. Although there were orders to remain vigilant, the spirit of the Wei army inevitably weakened. The Qin army reached the bottom of the city wall and attacked with great momentum.
Afterwards, a few bodies were left behind.
Gongsun Yao told the messenger: "From tomorrow onwards, the soldiers will go to bed in three groups. Tell them that this is a trick of the Qin army to tire out the enemy. As long as we take normal precautions, the enemy will not have a chance to board the city."
"yes."
After two waves of night attacks, the Qin army has changed its manpower. A group of people who have already recharged their batteries have prepared a large amount of noise-making materials and are counting the time.
When the Yin hour was approaching, they shouted loudly, beat drums, and rushed towards the city wall.
The Wei army, which had been a little tired from two short and weak night attacks, panicked. Gongsun Yao also directly gathered all the soldiers in the city to prepare for defense.
The Qin army had been charging for a long time, but in a short time they actually rushed to the top of the city. Suddenly, several loud arrows were fired from the formation, and the fireworks were bright for a moment.
"kill--"
A large number of black-armored soldiers rushed up from the darkness, destroying the city just before their eyes.
Gongsun Yao slashed the Qin army general who had ascended first to death with one sword, then grabbed his Changge and stabbed down a ladder. He stepped on the city wall and shouted: "I'm still here, don't panic! Brothers are already making up for the defense. Qin's dog breaks it."
Can’t reach the city!”
A serious and bloody siege of the city began. The Qin army, which had been premeditated, and the Wei army, which hurriedly woke up to fight, continued to fight until dawn. The Qin army climbed up the tower several times, and Pucheng was in danger, but in the end Gongsun Yao still failed.
Once again, they held on and failed to allow the Wei army to be defeated that night.
But just when they thought they had repelled the Qin army during the day, they almost broke through the city at night. The entire Wei army was filled with gloom and morale plummeted.
Gongsun Yao was lying on the city wall, looking at the scene below with the faint light of the torch. He thought about the battle just now, and he was shaken up. "This is because the Qin army is too scrupulous to press forward with all its strength. Reinforcements are coming!"
The Qin generals regretted it endlessly, "What a pity. We are just a short distance from breaking the city. Why did the general withdraw his troops?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, General, why are you withdrawing your troops?"
Yang Duanhe was in the Chinese army's tent and pointed at his camp on the map with a lamp, "Tanqi, who was supposed to return on time tonight, suffered a lot of losses, all in the direction of Yanshi. According to Tanma's footsteps, a large number of enemy troops should have already arrived.
Arrive at the flank of my camp. Although Pucheng seems to be in danger, if I really want to capture it, I must press a large number of troops. The situation of the battle is unknown at this time, so we cannot make dangerous moves."
The generals expressed their understanding, "In the direction of Yanshi, it seems that Wei's reinforcements have arrived."
"Wang Ben sent a letter to me, telling me to be on guard against Zhao and Chu. The camp he set up is at odds with me. At this time, reinforcements from Wei have arrived. We can also respond to Pucheng. This battle is not easy to fight." Yang Duanhe said.
After observing the terrain near Pucheng, he roughly guessed the location of the Wei army's camp, and said to the generals, "You will go down to rest first. The whole camp will be on alert. Do not rush into battle without specific information about the Wei army."
"promise!"
In the temporary Wei army camp, Lian Po was inspecting the Qin army's detective horses that Mei Sanniang had dragged back after hunting them down.
"Your ability as a horseman is astonishing to me as a female general." He first praised him and then said, "The number of these scouting horses is much more than usual. It can be seen that Yang Duanhe has already treated me like this.
Directional precautions.”
Mei Sanniang agreed, "Yang Duanhe, a veteran general of the Qin army, has fought countless battles. He used to serve as a deputy general. Although he has a reputation, he is not as good as Meng Ao, Wang Jian and the like. But this man should be a famous general today.
.”
"Qin has Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu, and Wang Ben, Zhao has Li Mu, Pang Nuan, and Le Cheng, and Chu has Xiang Yan. Qin's famous generals account for half of the world, and the juniors in the Qin army have risen more than the six countries.
It’s even more difficult than the six countries in Shandong~”
Lian Po read out the names one by one, mentioned the situation of the generals of the Six Kingdoms, and let out a long sigh.
"General, you always forget about yourself."
"Haha, I am nearly ninety years old. Just like that old immortal Pang Nuan, I can no longer compete with young people~"
Although he said this, Lian Po had a hearty laugh, was still able to shoot a strong bow, wore heavy armor, and had a very strong body. This time he took over as the general of the Wei army, and he was obviously still confident in his military abilities.
Mei Sanniang clasped her fists and asked seriously: "General, how are we going to fight this battle?"
Lian Po strode back to the Chinese army's tent and said as he walked: "I heard that the military soldiers had a head-to-head confrontation with Yang Duanhe's Qin army before, and in the end the Qin army won. This time I will still let the military soldiers fight, and test it first.
Stir up the enemy's energy.
You should personally contact Gongsun Yao, the Pucheng garrison. He has been able to hold on for so long, so he must not be incompetent. This battle also requires the concerted efforts of Pucheng and me."
"Sanniang understands."
"Come, let's gather together to discuss matters."
"promise!"
A few days later, both sides had a certain understanding of each other's generals. The Wei army led by Lian Po and the Qin army led by Yang Duanhe faced off in the wilderness not far from Pucheng. On the flank, Wang Bi's 50,000-strong army was defeated by Mei San.
Mother, 20,000 people are watching.
A battle involving more than 200,000 people is about to break out.
Yang Duanhe stood on the general's chariot and said to the enemy: "There is no one left in the Wei Kingdom? The general is ninety years old, so he should go back and enjoy his old age."
In the Chinese army formation, a group of tall and sturdy soldiers held loudspeakers and shouted:
"There is no one in Wei! Old general, please go back and enjoy your old age in peace——"
"There is no one in Wei! Old general, please go back and enjoy your old age in peace——"
Lian Po heard the roar coming from the opposite side and laughed loudly, "I have been fighting in my whole life, and this is the first time I have been scolded like this on the battlefield. Herald!"
"exist!"
He also shouted towards the Qin army formation: "Yang Duanhe, ask your general to come out and answer the question."
The gathered Wei troops also shouted in unison:
"Yang Duanhe, ask your master to answer -"
"Yang Duanhe, ask your master to answer -"
When Yang Duanhe heard Lian Po's reply, he was furious, with veins bulging on his ferocious face, "Rebellious general of Zhao State, old traitor, today is the day for your death."
"Zhao's traitorous general and old thief, today is your day of death——"
Although Lian Po was loyal to the State of Zhao throughout his life, when he was sent by King Zhao to Le Cheng to take over the military power, he actually dared to lead troops to attack Le Cheng and then fled the State of Zhao. This behavior was indeed a treason.
Lian Po, who was stabbed in a sore spot, could not hold back his anger and said, "Please come to the Qin army to die!"
"Invite the Qin army to come and die——"
"Invite the Qin army to come and die——"
Yang Duanhe unsheathed his sword and said, "The front army attacks!"
Lian Po also directed the Wei army's front troops to charge.
Two torrents of steel collided together, black and silver entangled, the war drums, shouts of death, and fighting from both sides combined to form a shocking movement. Broken limbs were everywhere, and blood flowed everywhere.
"This Wei army is really different from the previous one."
Yang Duanhe's blood-red eyes took in the entire battle, and his anger did not make him lose his mind.
"The crossbow gun array was fired, and this burst made him feel pain!"
In the forward part of the Qin army's center, the crossbow carts were raised far away, pointing at the sky of the Wei army, tearing the air, and rows of crossbows directly penetrated the shields, nailing the Wei army infantry to death.
Lian Po saw the power of the crossbow cart and ordered the front army to retreat. The left and right middle armies saw that the front army retreated, and their morale did not fluctuate at all.
"Left and right armies, move forward."
The left and right armies of the Wei army attacked forward, as if they wanted to surround and kill the Qin army.
Yang Duanhe then ordered: "It's time for the three armies to attack!"
"Kill~"
The Qin army pressed forward except for the rear army, and charged directly under the cover of crossbows.
The left and right armies of the Wei army seemed to have slightly retracted due to the previous attempt to encircle and kill them. After the three armies of the Qin army pressed forward, the Wei army fell into a disadvantage. Although they fought very tenaciously, they continued to retreat.
Lian Po saw his troops retreating repeatedly, and finally ordered, "Let Dianqing lead the troops to attack."
The Wei Zuojun suddenly concentrated their attack on the central part, and rushed out of the infantry formation from the rear, crushing the Qin Youjun blocking the front with overwhelming force.
Seeing this, Yang Duanhe sneered, "Wei Wuzu, it turned out to be this trick again. The chariot battalion attacks!"
Dianqing was in the formation of soldiers, with two steel knives connected by a long chain, rushing at the front, transformed into a tornado, and there was a bloody storm along the way. The morale of the Wei soldiers was high, and they rushed towards the Qin army's main formation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The chariot battalion rushed out from the Queen of Qin's army. The horses were heavily armored, the entire vehicle was made of metal, rumbling horse hooves and rollers, and a heavy hammer hit the Wei soldiers.
"Ahhhh~"
Dianqing physically carried a chariot, smashed it through with one punch, and threw the broken chariot into the path of other chariots.
"Boom~ah~"
This rolling iron chariot set off a chain reaction, and seven or eight chariots were affected and damaged.
Dianqing threw up the iron chain again and thrust the steel knife into the ground. The steel knife was submerged and the handle was missing.
He held the steel knife and dragged the iron chain and rushed to the chariot formation. A steel lock destroyed countless horse legs. The Wei soldiers had already rushed to the Qin army's main formation.
"Ahhhh~"
The situation was great. Dianqing bumped into thirteen chariots along the way and plunged directly into Yang Duanhe's position.
"How can it be?!"
"Is he a human or a ghost?!"
"horrible……"
The soldiers of the Qin Army watched helplessly as Jianqing's body directly broke through the chariot formation, and they all screamed in horror.
Yang Duanhe's pupils reflected Dianqing's brave and invincible body, and he felt that this world was outrageous, "A body of flesh and blood can actually..."
Dianqing saw him on the general's chariot at a glance. He ignored all the swords, guns and halberds and jumped towards Yang Duanhe's position.
"Protect the general!"
"Surround him!"
"General, retreat quickly——"
Lian Po finally drew his sword and said, "The whole army attacks!"
The whole army of Wei charged, and with great morale, the Qin army could not resist, and the Qin army was in chaos under the attack of Wei soldiers. For a while, the Qin army lost its command, and was cut off and strangled by Lian Po's command.
Under heavy guard, Yang Duanhe gradually retreated, constantly shouting: "Withdraw the troops, the rear troops stabilize their positions, fire with crossbows, and withdraw the troops with gold."
There was a loud cry of gold, and the Qin army began to retreat. Lian Po saw this and did not pursue it. He ordered the Wei soldiers to fight back and killed the Qin army's front army and right army. In this battle, the Qin army was defeated.
Wang Ben saw the battlefield from a distance and sat on his horse anxiously.
The deputy general was equally worried and asked: "General, do we want to intervene on the battlefield?"
Wang Ben stared at the "plum" flag and took a deep breath, "That female general from the Wei Kingdom has a favorable location. If I rush to rescue the main battlefield, she will charge with her cavalry to intercept it, and we will still be unable to rescue the main battlefield."
"Then we just wait here?"
"She has watched me, and I have watched her. If her cavalry is allowed to rush over there, our army will be unable to retreat. In the current situation, although General Duanhe suffered a small defeat, it will not cause any harm.
Root bone.”
The Qin army retreated to the main camp, and the Wei army retreated as soon as it was good. In the first battle between Yang Duanhe and Lian Po, Yang Duanhe temporarily lost because he was not prepared for the big weapon of celebration.
