Jiaocheng was a bridgehead for the Wei State to resist the Qin State's eastward march in the past. This city had fought countless battles with the Wei State during the periods of Qin Xiaogong and Qin Huiwen, and had changed hands repeatedly. The people of Qin were really familiar with this city.
But now, it is the Korean army stationed in Jiaocheng.
This city captured by the coalition forces became the garrison of the Korean army because the Korean army was worried about being raided by Lord Xinling again.
In this regard, the other countries rarely ridiculed the cowardice of the Korean army, and even Chun Shenjun took the initiative to speak for South Korea.
During the last alliance, Wei Wuji made a sneak attack on the Korean army, which was really frightening.
Wei Wuji's intention is clear at a glance. He wants to take advantage of Zhao Zhizhi, occupy Han and Wei, and complete an alternative unification of the three Jins, so that he can gain a powerful national power alongside Qin, Chu, and Qi.
But neither Qin, Chu nor Qi would allow the emergence of a fourth great country, especially Chu.
So the state of Qi secretly supported Chu and South Korea with grain, grass and weapons. The Chu army fought fiercely with Wei and Zhao and tried its best to assist South Korea. Even the state of Qin secretly sent a snare to send some information about the Wei and Zhao armies to Chu and South Korea.
Originally, Qin State didn't have much interest in attacking South Korea, but who made them urgently need a big victory?
Not only did Ying Zheng seek a battle, the Qin army also needed to frustrate the coalition's spirit.
Only by reducing its prosperity and calming the hearts of the people can it be maintained for a long time.
As for the best victory among the coalition forces, except for the weak Weiguo, it is South Korea.
Of course, Wang Ye also has selfish motives.
They all knew that Ying Zheng hated Wei Wuji.
South Korea was not much better. When Ying Zheng returned from Xinzheng, he led his army to make a surprise attack.
If Zhang Ji had not made many arrangements in advance, it is still unclear whether Ying Zheng could return home safely.
As soon as Wang Jue's military order was issued, Yang Duanhe led his 80,000 troops southward. They went out by day and night, detoured around Changhao Mountain, and attacked Jiaocheng ten days later.
The total number of Korean troops is 100,000, and Jiaocheng is only a small city. It is naturally impossible to accommodate 100,000 Korean troops stationed in it. Therefore, only 50,000 Korean troops are stationed in the city, and the other 50,000 are stationed in military camps outside the city. .
After nightfall, the sky became gloomy, thick clouds drowned the moon, and the autumn wind blew up. The nearby Jiaocheng was silent. Except for the military lanterns, it was completely dark.
Whether it was the Korean army inside the city or the Korean army outside the city, they were completely unprepared because Jiaocheng was located behind the coalition forces. All the Korean troops were intoxicated in their sweet dreams. Even the garrison at the camp gate and the city head were drowsy, and each leaned on the sentry tower and fell asleep.
Suddenly, the ground shook and the mountains shook. The Qin army's cavalry was the first to charge into the battle. The movement brought by the 30,000 cavalry was as if the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, which frightened the Korean soldiers who were suddenly awakened.
Not many Korean soldiers eat meat, so night blindness is almost a common phenomenon among the Korean soldiers.
But the Qin army led by Yang Duanhe is different. This is a frontier army that Wang Jue has carefully cultivated for many years. He bought meat from his own pocket when he was stationed in Pingyang. , Wei's strongest soldier in the fight.
However, the Korean army was trapped in the night and could not see, and fear filled the camp.
People's fears often come from the fear of being unable to see. The rumble of horse hoofs could be heard, and the Qin army's shouts of killing could be heard all around the camp, but no enemy troops could be seen.
Coupled with the high mental stress caused by fighting abroad, a camp roar was inevitable.
The Korean soldiers, who were highly nervous and extremely frightened, saw the blurry black figure running towards them, and subconsciously thought it was an enemy soldier, and killed Paoze with a slash of his sword.
Soon, these turmoils spread from point to point to the entire camp, and the Korean army, who could not see at night, fell into complete chaos.
Before the Qin army's cavalry entered the Korean army's camp, the Korean army scattered and fled. Even before the Qin army took action, the Korean army trampled on each other in the camp, causing many casualties.
When the Qin army's cavalry rushed into the camp like a violent storm, the Han army collapsed completely.
Bai Yifei, who was stationed outside the city, stood up quickly when he heard the sound of horse hooves and put on his soft armor. Three thousand white-armored troops immediately gathered around Bai Yifei.
The Baijia army is naturally different from ordinary Korean soldiers. The Bai family's fiefdom is enough to provide them with enough meat.
"Don't mess up! I am the deputy general Bai Yifei! Han soldiers are gathering towards me, don't mess up!"
Bai Yifei was riding on a white horse, with three thousand white-armored soldiers holding torches around him, and his bright red blood clothes became a bright color in the late night.
Being unable to see at night is not completely invisible, and that touch of red has naturally become the only color other than black and white in the eyes of many Korean soldiers.
However, Ying Xiao has been something that has made all soldiers talk about it since ancient times.
Even the sages of military strategists such as Sun Wu and Wu Qi were extremely limited in what they could do in the face of Ying Xiao, let alone the Korean army, which had always been undisciplined.
The Qin army's cavalry, which was not blocked by battle formations, entered the Korean army camp almost without any hindrance, and a massacre unfolded vigorously.
Fire sticks fell to the ground as jars of fire oil shattered, and raging fire swept across.
After the cavalry charged, the rumble of horse hooves seemed to fade away, but what followed was the Qin army's infantry. Amidst the bursts of shouts, the infantry of the Qin Army also began to reap their military exploits.
As the only one who kept the military formation without chaos, the three thousand white-armored troops led by Bai Yifei became the most eye-catching presence in the night.
Yang Duanhe pointed at the bloody long coat in his hand: "That should be the Han army deputy general Xueyi Hou. Go to the Death Soldier Battalion and pick off his head for me!"
"The last general takes command!"
Teng, the commander of the Death Soldier Battalion, looked at the blood-red figure and couldn't help but show a bloodthirsty expression.
These are all opportunities given to him by the general!
In fact, Yang Duanhe did not need to bring the dead soldier battalion with him this time, but Zhang Ji had recommended him to Wang Jue and Yang Duanhe, praising him as a capable general and a sharp blade, so Yang Duanhe took Zhang Ji's interest into consideration. In order to save the machine's face and take the test in person, he took him to the death camp.
The performance of the dead soldier battalion indeed satisfied Yang Duanhe. Not only was it not as undisciplined as the trapped soldiers recruited by the Qin State in the past, but it was able to follow orders and prohibitions, and it also retained the fighting will of the trapped soldiers who were not afraid of death.
This Teng is indeed a general.
Yang Duanhe couldn't help but love talents, so he summoned the messengers and ordered: "The Chinese army will allocate 10,000 people to cover the dead soldiers' camp, urge the right wing to speed up, and make sure that the retreat of the dead soldiers' camp is not cut off!"
These actions naturally fell into Teng's eyes.
He didn't charge too fast because he considered the possibility of being cut off.
However, the Chinese army provided 10,000 people to cover him, sharing the pressure of the Korean army for him, and the right-wing army also followed up in time to ensure his retreat, so he no longer had to worry about anything.
Teng waved the three-foot Qin sword in his hand and chopped down two white-armored soldiers one after another. He wiped the blood from his face and looked ferociously at the figure covered in blood like himself.
