At the foot of Linji City, Zhang Han was commanding the siege. Suddenly, he came to report that the King of Qi had led an army of 100,000 to rescue the Wei State. The Chu State also sent an army across Yingchuan in an attempt to go out to capture Hangu Pass. Only then did Zhang Han know that they had defeated only the vanguards of Qi and Chu a few days ago, and that the army to rescue Wei was still behind. He felt a little nervous, so he discussed a solution with the generals. Li You looked at the map and said: "Since our army came out of the border, it has fought dozens of big battles with the rebels in Shandong. The soldiers fought bravely and had a firm belief in serving the country. However, Qi State is far in the east and has never experienced battles. So I have no experience in fighting. If I fight the Qi army first, I think I will have a greater chance of winning. If I can defeat the Qi army, the Chu army in Yingchuan will retreat without a fight." Zhang Han said thoughtfully: " General Li's analysis is completely correct. We should attack the Qi army first. But what I'm worried about is that once Tian Dan occupies the city, it will be difficult for us to capture him." At this time, the military detective came to report again, saying that Tian Dan did not occupy the city. Yangcheng, but personally led the army to kill Linji. After hearing this report, Zhang Han said happily: "If the Qi army is exposed in the wilderness, we will definitely defeat them, haha!" Sima Xin reminded again: "General, I heard that this time Tian Dan brought Great Sima Long Qie, Long Qie is a well-known fierce general in the Qi Kingdom. Is it difficult to deal with him?" Zhang Han pondered: "When the Qi army comes, fight them first, and then make a decision. Bar?"
On this day, King Qi relied on his power and did not follow Chen Ping's advice to rely on Jiyang City. Instead, he left the city and headed straight for Linji. Before leaving, a marching commander said to King Qi: "Although our army is large, it has never fought in a battle, and its experience is not as good as that of the Qin army. The people of Wei do not know that we are coming to fight Zhang Han, so we should get in touch with them first." If we attack again and attack from both front and rear, the Qin army will be defeated. Your Majesty, you should listen to Chen Ping's words and station the army in Jiyang City. In this way, if the battle is unfavorable, we can retreat to the city and slowly compete with Zhang Han. Please see me clearly! "General Tian Rong said angrily: "Your Majesty's trip is to punish the people and punish Qin Dynasty, but you said some unlucky words. This is disrespectful to our military morale!" King Qi said: "Let's imprison him in Ji for the time being. Yang, I will punish you to take care of the food, and I will punish you after I catch Zhang Han!" He ordered a hundred thousand troops to leave Jiyang City and march towards Linji. When they arrived less than thirty miles away from the city, they set up camp. After setting up the camp, King Qi led 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 crossbowmen to the city. On his left were the generals Tian Rong, Tian Du and dozens of other lieutenants. On his right were the great commanders Ma Longqie and Zhou. Lan and dozens of other lieutenants. The king of Qi wore brocade robes and jade belts, military caps and carriages, colorful flags and halberds, gold melons and silver axes, and the honor guard was very luxurious. At this time, Zhang Han had entrusted General Li You to continue to besiege Linji, and he personally led the generals to resist the enemy. On his left are lieutenants such as Sima Xin and Dong Yi, on his right are Zhang Ping, Zhang Xi, Zhang Qu and other lieutenants. Behind him are dozens of lieutenants, as well as the national flag of Qin and the flag of Zhang Han. The two armies faced each other.
Seeing that Tian Dan was very majestic, Zhang Han said very humbly: "Your Majesty, you have worked so hard to come here so far. Who will pay for your military expenses?" Tian Dan laughed and said: "Zhang Han, you This guy guarding the mausoleum and looking after the tomb, if you don't stay well in Lishan and come here to show off your power, of course you should pay for the expenses and expenses, hahaha!" Zhang Han also laughed and said: "The king is here. So noble, how can I, an old soldier guarding the mausoleum, afford this fee? Let me ask you, if you don't live a stable life in Qidi, why do you want to raise this unknown army and why?" Tian Dan said: "You help the tyrants and want to continue the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and you will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Now I want to avenge the countries in Shandong, wipe out the Qin Dynasty, and restore the old traditions of the six countries. You'd better get off your horse and be bound. ?" Sima Xin said to Zhang Han: "Although Tian Dan's army is in order, it has never been on the battlefield. Although our army is small, it is an elite division. One can fight ten. But there is one condition, that is, we must immediately The battle suddenly broke their psychological defenses and caused Tian Dan to lose his position." Zhang Han said: "What you said is exactly what I want." He loudly said to Qi Wang: "Rebel Tian Dan! Are you going to fight alone or together? " Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qu, Zhang Han's third brother, had already jumped out of the horse. When Tian Dan saw it, he shouted to the people in the formation: "Which of you is going to challenge me?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Du, the captain of the left army, jumped out on his horse with a halberd in his hand.
At this time, the drums of both sides were loud and the horns were blasting, cheering for the two generals. Zhang Qu flew to the formation with a spear, and Tian Du also rushed over. The two fought in front of the battle for thirty rounds, with no outcome in sight. Zhou Lan, the right captain of the Qi army, saw that Tian Du could not win, so he flew to the front of the formation and asked the King of Qi to fight. The king of Qi was overjoyed and ordered him to fight. Zhou Lan rushed straight to Zhang Qu. On the Qin army's battlefield, Zhang Han's second brother Zhang Xi saw another Qi general coming to kill him, so he asked Zhang Han to fight. Zhang Han also ordered him to fight. Zhang Xi then came to the formation with a big ax in his hand and fought with Zhou Lan. The four generals were like two balls of fire, fighting in front of the formation for half an hour. Zhang Han took this opportunity and sent his troops to cover up the attack. General Tian Rong, who was in the Qi army's formation, urgently ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. When Tian Du and Zhou Lan heard the order to withdraw their troops, they each feinted and rushed towards the formation. Seeing that the Qin army's cavalry had reached the Qi army's position, Tian Rong waved his flag and saw the Qi army's crossbowmen firing arrows together. Suddenly, the arrows were like locusts, and the Qin army fell off their horses one after another. Zhang Han was shocked and hurriedly sent an order to withdraw his troops. However, the Qin army lost many troops. King Qi laughed and said: "Tomb guard, do you dare to fight again?" Zhang Han said: "You can fight however you say, are you afraid that you won't succeed?" King Qi said contemptuously: "I have General Long Qie, if I want to fight with you, an old thief guarding the tomb, do you dare to fight?" Zhang Han laughed and said: "Why don't you dare? Come quickly and come over!"
For a while, I could only hear the sound of military drums on the Qi army's formation, and a flying general galloped out of the position. But I saw this man with a high nose and deep eyes, red eyebrows and purple beard, a tiger body and a bear waist, a golden helmet and golden armor, like a general from heaven. He held a halberd in his right hand and a horse rein in his left hand. He rode a red-maned horse, also called Chi Ji, and came to the front of the formation majestically. It was none other than the great commander of Qi State, Ma Longqie. Just as Zhang Han was about to take action, Sima Xin and his second brother Zhang Ping, who were beside him, hurried out and said, "How can the general come to the battlefield in person? The two of us are willing to go forward and fight!" Zhang Han said with a smile: "They named each other. If I don't go to fight, I will be ridiculed by the people of Qi." At this time, Tian Rong had already shouted: "Zhang Han, if you don't dare to go to fight, just go back and guard the tomb, right? Haha!" Zhang Han just said so Fight out. At this time, the sound of drums and trumpets also sounded in the Qin army's formation, and the sound was deafening. Zhang Han held the golden sword in his hand, and Pegasus came to kill him. Long Qie stepped forward to catch him and fight. The two of them fought for a hundred rounds in front of the battle, with no winner or loser. The cheers from the soldiers on both sides were endless, and it was getting late. Both sides had to withdraw their troops.
After Long Qie returned to the formation, the King of Qi led the Qi army back to the military camp, and then ordered lanterns and flags of various colors to be hung up, and then held a banquet to celebrate Long Qie and the generals. The sergeants were also very happy, as lively as a festival. The soldiers then ate and drank greatly, showing the prosperity and tranquility of Qi everywhere.
That night, Zhang Han returned to the camp and immediately summoned the generals to discuss: "Now that Long Qi is very powerful in martial arts, he can't win for a while. What should we do?" Sima Xin offered a plan: "Qi people have come all the way. , food is their mainstay. I heard that the Qin army’s baggage is all in Jiyang City. Tomorrow we will challenge the Qi army and take turns fighting with the Qi general. The general can send another army to sneak attack Jiyang. If we can intercept Without the food of the Qi people, the Qi army will be in chaos without a fight. At that time, if we launch a general attack, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qi army." Zhang Han thought for a while and then said: "Just try your method. ." So Dong Yi and Zhang Qu were asked to attack Jiyang City tomorrow, and he led Sima Xin and others to continue to challenge General Qi.
The next day Zhang Han took the initiative to lead his army to the front to challenge the enemy. When Tian Rong heard that Zhang Han was coming, he led Long Qie and others to resist the enemy. However, King Qi and Tiandu stood firm in the camp. Wait until the two armies are facing each other. Sima Xin from the Qin army's formation came out first. The one facing him was the opponent's General Long Qie. The two sides fought for thirty rounds in front of the formation, but Sima Xin was defeated and fled. Zhang Ping went to fight Long Qie again. Long Qie pulled himself together and fought Zhang Ping for fifty rounds. Zhang Ping was defeated and fled in defeat. At this time, Zhang Han was about to fight again in person. Suddenly, the closing horn sounded in the Qi army formation. When Long Qie heard the order, he quickly turned his horse's head and galloped back to his position. It turned out that they had received an order from the King of Qi, saying that the Qin army was going to attack Jiyang. The King of Qi was very worried that the food would be intercepted by the Qin army, so he ordered everyone to temporarily withdraw from the camp. At this time, King Qi had also sent Tiandu to rescue Jiyang City. Seeing that the Qi army had retreated, Zhang Han had no choice but to return to the military camp. After a while, Dong Yi and Zhang Qu also came back. The two men reported that Jiyang was heavily defended, and Tian Du also went to defend Jiyang, so the city could not get close at all. Zhang Han felt disappointed after hearing this.
The next day, Zhang Han finished his breakfast and was discussing with his surroundings how to march into the army. Suddenly it was reported that General Li You had arrived. Zhang Han quickly welcomed Li You into the camp. After a while, Li Youjin came to the big tent and said: "The general and Tian Dan have been fighting for two days. I heard that the general of Qi is very skilled in martial arts and the Qi army is also very tenacious. Now I am here to give the general a clever plan, and the general will be able to defeat the Qi army. "Zhang Han happily asked if he had any clever ideas. Li Youdao: "You can't defeat the Qi army in a short time, so you can make long-term plans. If time goes by, the Qi army will definitely relax. At that time, the general will use a sneak attack on Zhou Wen to defeat the Qi army!" Zhang Han suddenly realized after hearing this, and said: "General Li is really wise! How should we take a long-term plan?" Li Youdao: "General, just build dozens of watchtowers in front, so that it will take a while. Wait for the watchtowers to be built. If the Qi army is defeated, the Qi army will definitely slack off, and slacking off will paralyze the careless. You will definitely succeed with a sneak attack." Zhang Han was very happy after hearing Li You's plan, and sent sergeants to cut down trees from various places nearby, and sent an order to It is estimated that it will take 20 to 30 days to build fifty watchtowers on the only way for the Qi army to attack the Qin army.
When the King of Qi saw that the Qin army was only building watchtowers and making long-term plans, he thought Zhang Han was afraid of the Qi army, so he slowly relaxed his vigilance. It was already June, and the weather was very hot. Qi Jun was so hot that he took off his clothes and armor every night to dissipate heat, and the military camp also relaxed its vigilance. However, there were still experts in the army who reminded King Qi from time to time, asking him to prevent the Qin army from making sneak attacks. However, the Qi army was on guard night and day, and over time, they became negligent. King Qi still said nonchalantly: "Now that Zhang Han has heard that this king has dispatched an army of 100,000 men, he is scared to death. How dare he come to sneak attack? Just sleep peacefully, and wait until the weather gets colder and their watchtowers are built." Now, the time for our general attack has come, and we will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Han by then!" King Qi seemed very complacent and no longer took the Qin army to heart, and the military camp was filled with an atmosphere of victory. There was another thing that made King Qi very happy, that is, before he went on the expedition, he brought dozens of beautiful concubines with him. Every time after dinner, he let these women sing and dance. When he was going to bed, he also asked these concubines to give him a full-body massage to relax every part, and then he fell asleep comfortably. King Qi only hoped that after defeating Zhang Han this time, he would become the overlord, so he slowly fell asleep in comfort and happiness every night, every night. At this time, the people of Qi were also very excited, because they seemed to have seen that King Qi was about to become the ruler of the world.
In the Qin camp, Zhang Han was actively preparing for war. After he saw that fifty watchtowers had been built, he asked people to demarcate the scope in other places, and even threatened to build fifty more. When King Qi heard the news, he happily said: "When the Qin army builds another fifty, it will be autumn, which is when we will launch a general attack." So he completely relaxed his vigilance.
One day, the Qin army was still going around cutting down trees. At night, the sound of building watchtowers was heard. The Qi army had already heard what they heard and were used to it, and when it got dark, they were still fast asleep. At midnight that night, Zhang Han, Li You, Zhang Ping and others led 30,000 elite cavalry, left the Linji camp and rushed directly towards the Qi army's camp. The Qin army all marched with bells on their horses and their men with titles. The soldiers advanced quietly, with a hundredfold confidence and courage. The long cavalry was like a dragon going out to sea. When everyone was still half a mile away from the Qi army, the Qin army's column suddenly turned into a horizontal formation, and then quickly formed a semi-encirclement of the Qi camp.
At this time, the Qi army's camp was very quiet, and they had no idea that the Qin army was going to attack at night. At about Chou hour, the Qin army launched a general offensive. They first fired a barrage of rockets violently, and then launched a charge. For a time, the Qin army's cavalry surged towards the Qi camp like a tide. The situation was just like the one during the Battle of Xiting. Qi Jun was still sleeping, and everyone had no idea what was going on. When they woke up, they saw fires everywhere, and some people were killed by arrows on the spot. Many people even had time to put on their clothes and fled to the camp with no arms. At this time, the Qin army had already arrived. After these wolves and tigers, the Qin army rushed into the Qi camp and started killing everyone. They still met everyone. Just chop them off, chop them off as soon as they see the head. After a period of crazy hacking, the unarmed Qi army was killed until they were in a state of chaos, with their men and their backs turned upside down.
King Qi arrived late this night and was very happy. He felt very comfortable before falling asleep. After falling asleep, he dreamed that he was walking towards a magnificent throne. It turned out that the throne was the symbol of the overlord of the world, surrounded by a colorful halo, which was like a dream and an illusion. Tempting. The King of Qi himself wore a crown, a dragon robe, colorful satin, and gold and jade. He seemed to be the most respected and noble king in the world, and he was extremely happy. But suddenly he was awakened by a sudden scream. Everything was empty. King Qi jumped up and found that the top of the imperial tent was on fire. The beautiful concubines beside him were also shocked, so they picked up some things randomly. As a fig leaf. The King of Qi shouted loudly and asked: "What's going on?" "Report! Your Majesty, the Qin army is coming to kill!" Then a panicked soldier ran into the imperial tent and reported: "Your Majesty, the Qin army is coming to rob the camp! The whole camp is on fire, get up and run!" When the King of Qi heard that the Qin army was coming to rob the camp, he hurriedly ordered Tian Rong and Long Qie to come and protect them. The two of them arrived as if flying. At this time, the guards of King Qi also came over to protect him. Suddenly another burst of rockets flew down, and some of the guards were hit by arrows and fell down. The injured people screamed and avoided the flying arrows. The guards held up their shields and formed a circle to protect King Qi. At this time, King Qi was so panicked that he didn't even care about his beloved concubine, and only focused on escaping for his own life.
They just ran out of the camp and came to the car, only to find that the gorgeous royal car was also on fire. He hurriedly rode away, only to hear someone shouting: "We can't let Tian Dan go! Catch him! Catch him quickly!" It turned out that Zhang Han himself had killed him. He knew that he was smart, so he caught him with his long arm. Qi Wang's pajamas, and then pulled him off the horse. Tian Rong and Long Qie didn't have time to mount their horses, so they had to fight on foot. Long Qie summoned his might and used his powerful weapons to block Zhang Han's aggressive attack. King Qi took advantage of a loophole and crawled away. At this time, Li You and Zhang Ping also arrived, and they intercepted Tian Rong and Long Qie to fight. The surrounding Qi troops shouted: "Protect the king! Protect the king!" They all came to rescue him, and the shouts of killing all around were earth-shattering. Zhang Han was afraid that the Qi army would snatch away the King of Qi, so he hurriedly abandoned Long Qie and rode forward to pursue him. At this time, King Qi climbed into another carriage and was about to escape when Zhang Han caught up with him. He raised his Chang Ge and stabbed King Qi in the back with great force. Poor King Qi came thousands of miles to save Zhao. Because of his noble blood and unreasonable self-confidence, he couldn't listen to any good advice. He was attacked by a sneak attack tonight. He was only wearing thin pajamas and was stabbed by Zhang Han's Chang Ge. back. When the soldiers of Qi State saw that King Qi was stabbed by Zhang Han, they hurriedly came to protect him. Tian Rong and Long Qie caught up and fought against Zhang Han. Tian Du, Zhou Lan, Hua Wushang, Tian Jie and others fought hard to open a bloody path and then surrounded them to the east. With their superb martial arts, they protected King Qi and escaped.
Zhou Shi was in the Qi camp, and the Qin army suddenly attacked. Knowing that Zhang Han had come to steal the camp, he ran to Jiyang in advance. At this time, Zhang Han also stabbed King Qi. Because the blow was hard and hit, he knew that King Qi's injury was serious, so he led the Qin army to cover up and kill him from west to east. He could really use chopping melons and vegetables. to describe. They fought their way out of the Qi army's camp, and then continued their pursuit. Tian Rong and others protected King Qi while fighting. They ran all the way to the gate of Jiyang City. At this time, the marching commander had already opened the city gate to welcome him. King Qi and others entered the city in a flash. When Zhang Han arrived, the Qi army had already closed the city gate. Zhang Han happily led his troops back to the battlefield. They rode horses to the foot of Linji City. Looking around, they saw the corpses of the Qi army on the battlefield, most of them half-naked. The Qi army's camp was in a state of disarray. Those Qi troops who survived met the red-eyed Qin troops again, and once again suffered a devastating blow.
Seeing that the Qi army was completely destroyed, Zhang Han took back all the food, weapons, military flags, banners, clothing, equipment, vehicles, chariots, artillery, and the beautiful concubine of the King of Qi that had been abandoned by the Qi army. Five hundred chariots and more than a thousand horses were seized. Zhang Han almost went crazy with joy when he saw these trophies, and he cheered with his soldiers and carried them to his camp.
