Just as Mr. Qian expected, early the next morning, there were bluebirds in Sangqiu City flying towards Linzi City, the capital of Qi.
However, no matter how the monarchs and ministers of Qi argued in the court, Kuang Zhang and his party could not see them thousands of miles away.
Early in the morning, Hei Qilin personally ordered five hundred Qi army warriors, all put on the Qin army's standard armor, walked out from the north gate of Sangqiu, and ran south around Surabaya.
At this time, it was approaching evening, and a group of Qi soldiers rushed towards the Qin Army's camp from the rear of the Qin Army, again carrying the Qin Army's flag.
The goalkeeper of the Qin Army who was on guard did not check carefully, thinking that he was a comrade who came to support.
A group of more than 500 Qi soldiers successfully sneaked into the Qin army's camp.
At three o'clock in the morning, a drizzle of rain suddenly fell from the sky in Mosha, falling to the ground like yarn and beads.
Ying Hua and Sima Cuo stood outside the tent, looking at the sky in the north of the camp. There was a fire rising into the sky, followed by the rumble of horse hoofs in their ears.
"Update on the right, it seems that the Qi army wants to attack our camp at night." Sima Cuo wiped the water droplets from his temples lightly, and a bad omen arose in his heart.
"We've arrived just in time. The second and third sons have informed all the battalions to prepare for war!" Ying Hua shouted to the nearby soldiers.
A whimpering and vigorous horn sounded instantly from the Qin Army camp.
"Commander on the right, I will leave the left and rear of our army to you." After saying this, Yinghua got on the chariot next to him.
"My sons, follow me and kill!" Yinghua led more than a thousand chariots and tens of thousands of soldiers to rush out of the camp first!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The drizzle in the sky was unable to stop the soaring fire. Countless torches reflected the sky, making the earth look like daylight.
Sima Cuo also knew that he must not let the Qi army push the main battlefield closer to the Qin army's camp. The terrain here was so narrow that the Qin army's field troops could not deploy at all.
On the rugged wilderness, 50,000 Qi Great Wall Army and 30,000 Qin Army spread out from north to south. Under the light of the fire, they looked like black ants.
I don’t know when the two armies started to fight, and it seemed that they were fighting in the front from the beginning. The soldiers and horses fled in confusion at the fighting place. Countless chariots were circuitous in the formation of the two armies, and arrows were flying in the air. The light rain in the sky set off layers of huge waves.
The battle ahead had already entered a fever pitch, and Sima Cuo knew it was his turn to appear, "Second and third sons, follow me to outflank Qi's army. Kill!"
"Kill!" With the momentum of a tiger descending from a mountain, the Qin army dared to surround 50,000 with 30,000.
However, before the partial army led by Sima Cuo rushed into the battlefield, a sky full of arrows suddenly appeared from behind the Qin army's formation.
Sima Cuo couldn't avoid it and was shot through the arm by an arrow.
"Ah!" Sima Cuo cried out in pain.
By the time he turned away despite the pain, his 10,000-strong army was already in chaos.
Under the light of the fire, Sima Cuo saw many soldiers stabbing his comrades with swords.
At this time, he still didn't know that Qi Bing had already sneaked into his Qin army's camp.
However, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Yinghua in front did not receive timely support from Sima Cuo. At this time, the Qin army's forward had been divided into several battle groups by the Qi army.
It seems that it will only be a matter of time before it is eliminated.
"Pfft!" Sima Cuo suddenly felt a warmth on the left side of his face.
He glanced around and saw that an arrow shot through his driver's neck at some point.
Sima Cuo was stunned and looked up at the sky. His scalp suddenly became numb, and a new round of arrows pressed down like locusts.
Sima Cuo shouted decisively and heartbroken: "Leave the battle group, rush into the Qi army's formation, and rescue You Geng!"
He has clearly realized that Qin has lost this war.
The Qin army is also a human being, not a god. They are also afraid and tired.
Sima Cuo gritted his teeth and broke the tail of the arrow, pushed away the driver who had died in the battle, drove the chariot himself, and rushed towards the encirclement of the fierce battle. The blood on his arm was flowing out gurglingly, but he couldn't care about that much at this time. He just hoped to rescue Yinghua and kill a few more Qi soldiers.
"General, the right guard is coming out!" Suddenly a soldier from the front ran towards him quickly and shouted loudly as he approached.
Sima Cuo suddenly felt happy.
Just when he was about to call for Sakon Mingjin to withdraw his troops, the pawn beside him had already jumped up, and in the astonished eyes of the guards, he stabbed him in the neck with a dagger in his hand.
"My life is at stake!" Sima Cuo could no longer avoid the attack at this time, and the wounds on his arms had seriously affected his body's flexibility.
"How dare you, thief!" Just when Sima Cuo thought he was going to die, a loud shout suddenly came from the distance, followed by a long sword across the night sky, running towards the Qi army spy.
The black unicorn's dagger had already reached Sima Cuo's head, and he had no choice but to turn aside to avoid the long sword thrown from a distance. She screamed unwillingly, then disappeared and retreated from the battlefield.
"Commander You, it's okay." As the horse approached, Sima Cuo saw that it was Yinghua!
The assassin did not deceive him, and Yinghua actually broke out of the siege.
"Right watch, we have fallen into a trap. The partial army has been completely dispersed. Hurry up and withdraw your troops and withdraw to the west!" Sima Cuo said unwillingly without bothering to thank him.
"We in Great Qin only have sons who died in battle, and no cowards who ran away!" Ying Hua scolded loudly.
"You're right. Only by being useful can you have a chance to wash away today's shame!" Sima Cuo patiently advised.
Ying Hua ignored him and turned his head to look at the last battle group annihilation in the distance...
He knew that he was defeated and the Qin army was defeated!
"You should make a decision earlier. When Wei and Han learn that we, Da Qin, have been defeated, they will definitely add insult to injury." Sima Cuo couldn't help but urge when he saw that Qi's army had the momentum to encircle them again.
"withdraw!"
…
The rising sun was obscured by dust clouds on the dome, and the light rain was still coming down thickly and unhurriedly. The morning rain, like needles and feathers, fell from the sky, washing away the rich blood in the atmosphere.
Kuang Zhang stood on a mound and let the rain slide down his face.
He looked around at the crossed flags and corpses piled everywhere, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The Qi army won, but it was a miserable victory.
This time Qi's 50,000-strong Great Wall Army plus the local Yi soldiers totaled 70,000 people participating in the battle.
How old is Qin? According to pre-war intelligence, the number was only 30,000.
With 70,000 men against 30,000 men, suppressed by twice the number of troops, plus occupying superior ground, and finally seeking victory, the Qi army was reduced to more than 20,000 men.
However, Qin also paid a heavy price this time. The 30,000 Qin army was almost completely wiped out. Completely shattered the rumor that the Qin army was invincible!
"It would be a pity that I didn't kill Ying Hua, and I made the mistake with Sima!" Kuang Zhang couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart.
