Yan Fei sighed helplessly after receiving Tian He's order. He secretly admired Lin Feng because Lin Feng saw things so accurately.
The emperor's temperament is to cherish his life when he does great things, and forget his righteousness when he sees small gains.
It really shouldn't be sent to assassinate Lin Feng.
In particular, the emperor is self-righteous and self-righteous, but now it is useless to consider the emperor's shortcomings. The emperor personally ordered this, which could not be refused. So Yan Fei and the emperor returned to the military formation, and Yan Fei gave the order to attack.
In Yan Fei's first attack, he did not send out large-scale troops, but only dispatched 10,000 elite troops to fight.
According to Yan Fei's plan, he actually doesn't want to start a war for the time being.
It would be inappropriate to start a war as soon as we arrive. He just had a confrontation with the Qin Army now, and he didn't know much about the Qin Army's arrangements or any information about the Qin Army. These many pieces of information need to be slowly understood and explored during confrontations and battles.
Only by finding out everything clearly can we go to war on a large scale.
Tian He saw the 10,000 people who came forward to fight, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Fei, how can we defeat 10,000 people? Send another 20,000 people up. Our Qi State's 30,000 troops are overwhelming, and we have a chance to directly defeat Qin. The army's camp. Then, send elite troops in one go to attack the Qin army's camp and defeat it in one battle."
"Your Majesty, this is not allowed."
Yan Fei couldn't help it at this moment and directly sent 30,000 people to attack, which was extremely disadvantageous. You must know that in a war, the party that takes the initiative to attack will suffer greater losses.
A large-scale attack is very disadvantageous.
Tian He looked at Sun Youdao and asked, "Sun Youdao, what do you think?"
Sun Youdao was also in a dilemma. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, General Yan Fei's suggestion actually makes sense. Our army has just arrived, and the Qin army is waiting for work. It must be fully prepared."
"So, it is necessary to test it. Let's send 10,000 people first to test whether it is easy for the Qin army to attack?"
"If the Qin army's defense is average and can break through the defense line, we will increase the investment of troops, defeat the Qin army in one go, and win this battle. If the Qin army's defense is tight, it will be difficult to break through. We will withdraw and set up camp first, and then arrange people Come and invade the camp."
Sun Youdao said respectfully: "We are fighting on the battlefield, and the troops are not stable. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."
After Tian He thought about it for a while, Sun Youdao made a suggestion. In fact, he still disagreed with large-scale combat, so he said: "That's it, let's give it a try first."
call! !
Yan Fei and Sun Youdao both breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them looked at each other and felt that it was too difficult. With an emperor who didn't know how to fight and was so complacent that he gave blind orders, this battle was really not easy.
Fortunately, only ten thousand people were sent forward to fight.
Ten thousand Qi soldiers went out to fight and rushed forward quickly, shortening the distance from the Qin army's camp.
"Archers, shoot your arrows."
As the general with specific command, Wang Lie was well prepared and immediately ordered the arrows to be fired.
In the camp, the archers quickly drew their bows, nocked arrows, and loosened their bowstrings.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Dense bows and arrows, like a rain of arrows, flew outside the camp and landed among the crowd of Qi soldiers.
Phew! Puchi
The arrows penetrated the flesh and killed each soldier.
Many Qi soldiers fell to the ground, but more Qi soldiers continued to sprint without fear of death. Groups of soldiers charged, getting closer and closer to the camp, but Wang Lie's expression remained calm.
This battle is too ordinary.
Wang Lie waited quietly. He estimated the distance between the two sides, and when it was less than eighty steps, he ordered again: "Catapult, release the cupping!"
Bang! Bang!
Catapults have been prepared in the camp for a long time.
The soldiers responsible for the release lit the clay pot filled with kerosene. The seal of the clay pot was lined with linen soaked in kerosene to block the mouth of the clay pot. Because the linen is soaked in kerosene, it will burn as soon as the open flame is ignited.
Burning clay pots flew through the air, passed by the camp, flew out of the camp, and landed among the crowd of running Qi soldiers.
boom! !
The clay pot hit the soldier and shattered.
The kerosene spilled, and the burning linen fell to the ground. When it encountered the kerosene, it burned quickly.
The soldiers of the Qi army were also ignited by the kerosene and ran around in a panic.
There was a rumbling sound of impact, and the densely packed clay pots fell to the ground. The kerosene flowed and the fire burned.
A fire broke out outside the entire camp.
This scale is not a sea of fire, and the fire is not particularly violent. However, under the burning fire, the morale of the attacking Qi soldiers was damaged and the offensive was frustrated. For a time, large numbers of soldiers were blocked from attacking and were running around to avoid the fire.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Intensive bows and arrows continued to fall like rain, further killing Qi soldiers.
Groups of soldiers fell outside the camp.
The soldiers of Qi State were still attacking continuously, and the monstrous offensive seemed to be extinguished immediately by the heavy rain. The soldiers of Qi State who were close to the camp were stabbed and killed by soldiers holding long spears in the camp in the blink of an eye.
Qi's offensive was completely wiped out.
Lin Feng looked at the scene happening in front of him and sneered in his heart.
Yan Fei is a famous general.
It's a pity that Tian He met a stupid emperor. This was Tian He's own suicide.
Yan Fei was so angry that he felt uncomfortable when he saw the fighting scene. If he comes to attack, it won't be such a careless and unorganized attack. According to his arrangement, he must use weapons such as archers and catapults to suppress the Qin army's offensive, and even use the weather to consider the method of attack.
Now they are attacking without any preparation, which is simply nonsense.
Yan Fei knew that he was not welcome and quickly signaled to Sun Youdao.
No more onslaught.
To withdraw.
Sun Youdao also sighed in his heart and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Qin army is too well prepared. Let's retreat to camp first and prepare enough equipment. When the grain, grass and equipment from the rear are delivered, it will not be too late to launch a large-scale attack."
Tian He clenched his fists, very unwilling to do so.
Do you want to retreat now?
He was unwilling to give in.
But Tian He looked at the fighting ahead, especially when he saw that Qi's soldiers did not form an offensive at all, but were just being killed one after another. He felt a little depressed for a while.
Tian He was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sun Youdao, if we retreat now, where will the majesty of our Qi State be? Put in troops and continue to increase our investment."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that."
Yan Fei couldn't bear it anymore.
He was no longer willing to swallow his anger, so he stood up, knelt down, and begged: "Your Majesty, we have a hundred thousand troops coming to attack with no preparations. How can we fight? If your Majesty wants to continue the battle, please kill me first."
"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
A sharp look flashed across Tian He's eyes.
This Yan Fei was so bold that he dared to threaten him like this.
Yan Fei stiffened his neck and continued without any fear: "Your Majesty wants to kill me, so I am willing to die. I am born as a member of the Qi State, and die as a ghost of the Qi State. I will have no regrets if I die on the battlefield. .”
"you……"
Tian He was furious.
Sun Youdao suddenly became anxious. Yan Fei was usually very tolerant, so why was he so anxious and irritable. He was worried that something would go wrong and said quickly: "Your Majesty, General Yan Fei was a little impatient because he saw the soldiers were damaged. Your Majesty, we are indeed unprepared. Please suspend the attack. We want to kill Lin Feng and destroy the Qin army. Withdraw our troops now. , also to be able to compete better.”
"snort!"
Tian He snorted angrily.
He looked around and saw many discussions among the soldiers. Knowing that Yan Fei had won the hearts of the people, he waved his hand and said: "Yan Fei, you are brave, I can't afford to offend you. Send the order and withdraw the troops."
After the words fell, Tian He asked people to drive and retreat first.
Yan Fei knelt on the ground and clenched his fists. The emperor's words were too heartbreaking.
Can't afford to offend him?
The emperor said that he could not be offended. If this word spread, it would be enough to convict him of a serious crime. It was foreseeable that after this battle, his future life would definitely be difficult. He would be demoted, exiled, or imprisoned, and he accepted it.
Now, he just wants to resolve this battle. At least he can still be used in this battle.
Sun Youdao sighed and persuaded: "Old Yan, you know His Majesty's temper, why are you so eager?"
Yan Fei said helplessly: "I can't help it anymore. This battle has just begun, how can you be so wanton? According to this method of fighting, no matter how many soldiers of Qi State can't win this battle, we can't do this!"
"You, alas..."
Sun Youdao shook his head and reached out to help Yan Fei up, because he had no choice.
Sun Youdao immediately ordered the withdrawal. The attacking soldiers quickly withdrew, and the Qi army began to change direction and evacuate.
