Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, Mu Ping was already prepared. The horn sounded, and the four thousand Qingqi turned their horses' heads and turned back to attack Jin Qi.
They had just attacked the Queyue Formation, and Qin Qi suffered heavy damage. Every Qin Qi was extremely depressed. Now that Jin Qi actually dared to come out of his shell, he had to take revenge.
The mourning soldiers are available, and the continuous sound of trumpets is accompanied by high-pitched shouts, which is deafening.
Mu Ping ordered the 4,000 cavalry to be divided into three groups, 2,000 light cavalry to face the enemy head-on, and the other 2,000 to be divided into left and right groups to outflank, making sure to kill all the Jin cavalry.
Yang Anxuanping held the horse's chariot and looked straight ahead. Qin Qi, who was wielding a garlic hammer, had a ferocious face and opened his mouth wide, howling loudly.
Slightly adjusting the direction of the spear tip, Yang Anxuan lightly twisted the spear pole before colliding with the garlic hammer. The spear tip sank and pierced Qin Qi's belly lightly.
Yang Anxuan pulled to the side, and Zhang Feng rowed out. When the two horses crossed each other, the Qin cavalry fell from his horse.
Kuai En held a steel spear in each hand, and as the short spears flew, Qin Qi was constantly being picked off; Meng Longfu stepped on the horse stirrups with both legs, and the long-handled machete in his hand flew like snowflakes, excitedly roar.
The Qin and Jin armies collided with each other, excited, frightened, excited, and timid, with splashes of blood and mournful screams spreading on the battlefield.
The sword collided with the sword in the Jin rider's hand, making a harsh impact sound. Mu Ping swung the sword forward. After several collisions, he felt something was wrong. He glanced at the sword in his hand and saw that the blade of the sword actually had large and small shapes. Gap.
Mu Ping was shocked. His sword was a well-trained sword. He had fought many times on the battlefield and had never suffered such damage before.
Looking around in panic, Mu Ping discovered that the two armies were fighting each other, and most of his own soldiers and horses fell down one after another. The swords in the hands of this group of Jin soldiers were extremely sharp, and many Qin cavalry's swords were cut off.
The war horses galloped, and Yang Anxuan led the light cavalry to pass easily through the Qin cavalry, leaving behind a bloody battlefield. The war horses neighed feebly, and the injured soldiers crawled in a pool of blood.
Qin Qi, who was outflanking on both sides, obviously did not grasp the rhythm well. When the intensive sound of horse hooves rushed to the battlefield, Jin Qi had already left. Looking at the blood all over the ground, Qin Qi was horrified.
Jin Qi's bravery made Qin Qi unable to believe his eyes. In the past, Qin Qi killed Jin Qi with fewer enemies and more enemies. When did this situation turn around?
Mu Ping's heart was beating wildly and he was terrified. The defeat in Luoyang two years ago could be said to be Yang Anxuan's surprise victory. Today, the two armies fought on the battlefield based on their strength. Yang Anxuan first used a strange formation to scare the enemy, killing all the heavy armor, and then used several Bai Qingqi chased thousands of his own troops and won another battle with the sharp blades in their hands.
Arrows can penetrate heavy armor, and swords can cut off soldiers. If all the Jin soldiers were like Yang Anxuan's men, the Qin Dynasty would be in danger.
There was no room for overthinking on the battlefield. Mu Ping ordered: "Gather our troops together and kill the Jin cavalry with all our strength."
A hundred steps away, Yang Anxuan looked at Qin Qi, who was walking silently, and ordered loudly: "You She."
Six hundred Qingqi followed Yang Anxuan and galloped forward, bending their bows and shooting arrows backwards as they ran. The Qin army responded with arrows not to be outdone.
Arrows filled the sky like dark clouds, and with the sound of "swish" piercing the sky, people kept falling off their horses.
The archery masters in the army held back, and Yu Fei, Meng Longfu, Yang Anxuan and others fired their arrows accurately, killing Qin Qi who was advancing.
Gradually, Qin Qi's pursuit slowed down. Mu Ping saw that his army had lost its vigor and did not dare to press any further, so he took the remaining Qing cavalry and fled towards the camp.
Yang Anxuan led the Qing cavalry like a pack of wolves hunting, biting Qin cavalry from left to right. With sharp arrows and sharp knives, more than 700 Qin cavalry fell to the ground for more than ten miles.
Yanshi City can be seen in the distance. The Qin army camp has learned the news of Qi Gong's defeat and formed a formation to cover the return of the defeated army.
At the top of Yanshi City, the soldiers saw Qin Qi retreating into the camp in embarrassment. From a distance, they saw white flags (1) waving as they chased and killed scattered Qin Qi.
The cheers were deafening, and the people who were originally panicked immediately calmed down. Yan Kai ordered the city gate to be opened, and the soldiers at the gate rushed out of the city to meet the victorious Qingqi.
Yao Chong had already fled back to the camp. With a sallow complexion, he reluctantly led his troops into formation and waited for Qingqi to return.
Mu Ping was defeated and fled back, but the Jin army failed to bring him back.
The news that the arrow was sharp and the knife was also sharp made Yao Chong more and more frightened.
Jin troops rushed out of Yanshi City, but Yao Chong did not dare to attack. He was afraid that the Jin people in the city were armed with sharp swords and the morale of the army was low. It was not suitable to fight again at this time.
Yang Anxuan led his cavalry into the city surrounded by people. The people in the city, old and young, lined the streets to greet him, and cheers came and went like a tide.
Yang Anxuan smiled and waved to the people, his eyes passing over the soldiers around him.
One general became famous but his bones were withered, and nearly half of the six hundred light cavalry were lost in battle. Many of these elite soldiers were An Xuan's army back then. Yang Anxuan was so happy that he could not help but feel heavy.
This time, with the help of sharp arrows and sharp knives, the Qin army was caught off guard. First, he severely defeated the "armored cavalry", and then used sharp knives to kill the Qin cavalry. He then used sharp arrows to snipe the enemy during the chase, which was why he achieved this result.
If they really fight together, I don't know how many of the six hundred Qingqi can return alive. There is a long way to go to defeat the Qin Army and the Qin State. …….br>
There was deathly silence in the Qin army's camp and in the Chinese army's tent.
In the last month of the attack on Yanshi City, only 672 of the 2,000 heavy cavalry were left, more than 2,340 light cavalry were lost, and more than 1,600 infantry casualties were suffered, seriously injuring their vitality.
Shi Zhen's body was carried closer. Yao Chong stood up and came closer, his heart pounding. This reckless man had followed him for more than ten years and made countless contributions to his charge into battle. Unexpectedly, he died in front of Yanshi City.
Looking at the blood-stained arrow feathers on Shi Zhen's chest, Yao Chong ordered: "After taking out the arrows, send Shi Zhen's body back to his tribe for a good burial. I remember that he had two sons, so that the government can have a good life." Take care of it."
Mu Ping placed the saw-like machete on the table. Yao Chong touched the gap with his hand and murmured, "Why are the Jin people trapped in the city gate when they have such a sharp weapon?"
The arrowheads taken out of Shi Zhen's body were cleaned, and the arrow shafts and feathers were reinstalled. Yao Chong took the bow and ordered people to set up target armor thirty steps away.
An arrow was shot, and the arrow penetrated six layers of leather armor. The leather armor with arrows was passed around among the Qin generals, and suppressed breathing sounds could be heard from time to time.
Seeing the low morale in the tent, Mu Ping said, "The Jin people probably don't have many of these sharp weapons, otherwise they would use them when attacking the city. Duke Qi, our army is newly defeated. We must prevent the Jin people from taking advantage of the victory to make a sneak attack. Please order Pei, The garrison in Yanliang Division returns to camp."
A soldier entered the tent and reported in a loud voice: "Master Qi, long live someone to send an urgent report."
Yao Chong took the letter and read it. In the letter, Yao Xing informed him that the Wei State had sent Taiwei Mu Chong to lead 20,000 light cavalry to rescue Luoyang City, and asked him to make preparations in advance.
"Get the map," Yao Chong ordered hurriedly after handing the letter to Mu Ping.
The cowhide picture was too big, so Yao Chong ordered people to spread it directly on the ground. Kneeling on the map, Yao Chong found Pingcheng, crossed the map with his finger, and calculated the time for Wei Qi to go south.
According to the detailed report, the Wei cavalry left Pingcheng on the second day of September. It is now September 21st, and twenty days have passed. It is estimated that Mu Chong has arrived at the Yellow River long ago. Why did the reconnaissance cavalry not report it?
After reading the letter, Mu Ping was surprised and said: "Wei State has actually sent troops to join the war. Qi Gong, please send a spy across the river quickly to find out the news."
Yao Chong frowned. Luoyang could not be captured for a long time, and Yanshi City was unfavorable for the troops. Now that the Wei army is approaching, if they delay, they may return in vain.
After thinking again and again, Yao Chong ordered: "The army retreats to the bean field wall, guards the west of Luoyang City, urges General Yang to step up the offensive, and must capture Luoyang City before the Wei army arrives."...
On September 23, the Qin army that attacked Yanshi City rose up and returned westward, and there was thunderous joy in Yanshi City.
Standing at the top of the city and watching the Qin army evacuate in an orderly manner, Yang Anxuan did not lead his army in pursuit. The Qin army still had five or six thousand light cavalry, divided into several teams and waiting in full formation. There are less than a thousand soldiers capable of fighting, and they are unable to compete with the Qin army on the battlefield.
Seeing the devastated Yanshi City Wall, Yang Anxuan felt heavy and wondered how long Luoyang City could hold on.
After sending scouts to inquire about the news, Yang Anxuan summoned Zhao Tian, Yin Ji and others back to the city to discuss matters.
The Qin army's main attack direction was Yanshi City. Yao Chong only sent a small number of troops to contain Pei and Yan's Wubao. Zhao Tian and Yin Ji both led their troops to attack, but with little success.
The reunion after the war was extremely cordial. The enemy retreated temporarily. Yang Anxuan ordered people to arrange wine and food, and they talked while eating.
Zhao Tian said with concern: "The Qin army retreated to the bean field wall and will surely step up its attack on Luoyang City. Luoyang City has been holding firm for nearly three months. Without foreign aid, I am afraid it will not be able to hold on for much longer."
Yang Anxuan said in a deep voice: "In addition to suffering heavy losses, there should be other reasons why the Qin army retreated from Yanshi City."
Yan Kai smiled and said, "It must be that reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived."
Many people nodded. Luoyang was trapped for eighty days. It didn't take that long for Yang Anxuan to lead the Beifu army northward.
Yang Anxuan knew in his heart that Wei's troops were coming, but although the Qin army suffered a defeat, its strength was still there, and he was not sure whether Luoyang City could defend it.
The situation is still grim. Except for his own estimation, the court has no reinforcements. Whether the Wei soldiers and horses can contribute is a matter of uncertainty. It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself.
"There is no delay in rescuing Luoyang. We will set off tomorrow to march to the bean field wall." Yang Anxuan said: "Prepare more chariots. The Qin army has many light cavalry. Only chariots can resist."
Yan Kai said: "Don't worry, General Yang. I've asked my subordinates to speed up the production. With the help of Pei and Yan, we can build at least a thousand chariots in two days."
The war had reached a critical juncture, and Yang Anxuan knew that it would be difficult to defeat the Qin army head-on on the battlefield with the troops in his hands. Only by using unique tactics could victory be possible.
"How many ships do the Pei and Yan clans have?" Yang Anxuan asked.
Yan Ke responded: "The Yan family currently has six merchant ships and more than a hundred small boats or fishing boats."
"The Pei family has seven large boats and more than a hundred small boats." Pei Qiang also said.
Yang Anxuan calculated in his mind that these ships, plus the five stern ships brought by Liu Zhong, could transport at least more than 3,000 troops. There are many waterways in Yanshi area, and the mobility of ships, soldiers and horses is greatly enhanced.
Everyone was talking about the plan to defeat the enemy, and Yin Ji said: "When the two armies are fighting, food is the most important. If we can burn the Qin army's food, the Qin army will collapse without a fight."
"Yes, but I don't know where General Qin's grain is stationed?" Meng Longfu said, scratching his head.
Yang Anxuan grew up in Luoyang and liked to travel around. He knew the topography of the Luoyang area very well. He asked someone to get a map and pointed to Kuai Xiang: "Kuaixiang is only five miles away from Luoyang. It is located to the north of Shenshui and is connected with Luoshui. It is connected and the transportation is very convenient. Yu believes that the Qin army is most likely to locate its granary here."
Zhao Tian nodded and said: "Yes, I also think that it is very likely that the Qin army will set up a granary in Kuai Township."
Yan Ke, Pei Qiang and others have been to Kuai Xiang and recalled the geographical location of Kuai Xiang in their minds. They also felt that Yang Anxuan's speculation was reasonable.
Meng Longfu smiled excitedly and said, "Then can we recreate the story of Wuchao?"
Yang Anxuan took a picture of the map and said: "To defeat the Qin army, we must first defeat Kuai Township."
