It was already late at night, and General Duan Cheng didn't sleep all night. He walked out of the general's mansion and inspected the military camp. Seeing that several soldiers had not slept all night like him, they stepped forward and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" The soldiers looked at General Duan Cheng and said, "General, we are homesick." General Duan Cheng squatted down. He came down and said: "If this breakout can be successful, I will take you home and go to sleep." These soldiers slept in Zhangtongbu, and there were dozens of soldiers sleeping together on one bed. A soldier said in his dream: "I want to go home, go home." Then he smiled silly again. General Duan Cheng stepped forward, sat aside, covered himself with a quilt, and patted his outstretched hands. These soldiers were like his children. It was particularly heartbreaking to see them!
At dawn, General Duan Cheng stood on the commander's platform, smashed the pots and pans, and said: "Now we have no retreat. We can only fight to the death with the Qin army outside the city. We will risk our lives and survive. Do you have the determination?" ." The general raised his sword and shouted: "Kill! Kill!" A million soldiers behind him shouted at the same time: "Kill! Kill!" General Duan Cheng stepped down from the general platform, got on the chariot, drew his long sword and pointed out: "The army is leaving the city."
The city gate opened, and General Duan Cheng led his army to rush out of the city and met the Qin army outside the city. The Qin soldiers outside the city formed several square formations, divided into three square formations on the left, center and right, arranged in a perfect Zigzag pattern. Lord Wu An stood on the chariot and directed the army to fight in the middle. There were two Qin generals on the left and right wings who were good at conquering and fighting. He looked at the Korean army under the tower. The Korean troops under the city formed a sharp formation and were ready to attack at any time.
The battle was about to begin. General Duan Cheng stood on the chariot, pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it out, shouting: "You are all our most heroic warriors in Korea. Follow me to kill the enemy's formation." The shield soldiers rushed. Go forward, with the crossbowmen behind. Lord Wu An stood on the chariot, drew his long sword and pointed it out, shouting: "Fire the arrows." Thousands of arrows were fired, and many soldiers were shot under their horses and crushed to death by the chariot. The flying army flew out from behind the Qin army's formation, densely packed in the sky, and fell to fight with the army. The gate of the formation opened, and General Qin led his army to charge out. The two armies met, and the long soldiers connected with each other, piercing the armor and flying out. General Duan Cheng took the long spear, pulled it out, provoked a Qin general and threw it, smashing the fast-moving wheels. A chariot turned sideways, and the wheels flew out quickly, throwing a group of soldiers over. General Duan Cheng was extremely brave, with his long spear slashed and blood splattering as he drove his chariot back and forth among the rebellious troops. They rushed forward or were trampled under the hooves of horses. Some were knocked away by the galloping horses, and some were turned under the wheels of the chariots and cut off by the fast wheels. The army mingled together and fought, chopping with swords, or rolling out in a ball, picking up the long swords that fell on the ground and slashing them vertically. Then he got up and charged into the rebel army, and was killed by a hidden arrow in his vest. A wave of troops rushed forward and chopped him into pieces.
Lord Wu An was shocked when he saw how desperate the Korean army was in fighting, and said: "Where is General Wang Cuo?" General Wang Cuo came forward in his chariot and said: "The last general is here." Lord Wu An said: "You lead The right-wing army of 500,000 soldiers came out." General Wang Cuo led an army of 500,000 people to charge forward, surrounded them, and then spun and charged into the rebel army. The two chariots rushed toward each other. Facing General Duan Cheng, Wang Cuo had no choice but to parry, and it was difficult to block the long spear that was thrown down by it. The two chariots passed each other, and their blades collided or rubbed against each other.
A soldier drove a chariot and rushed into the rebel army. Look at the equipment of the Qin army's chariots. There are three armored soldiers on each chariot, arranged on the left, middle and right. The armored soldier on the left holds a bow and is responsible for shooting; the armored soldier on the right holds a gun or spear and is responsible for attacking or stabbing, and assassinates those who come up from the siege. Soldiers. A barbed barb fell down, and a soldier's head was smashed by the barbed long barb. The lower blade penetrated into the brain and pulled the head off hard; in the center was the charioteer driving the chariot. Wear a sharp sword for close combat. When an arrow came from behind, General Duan Cheng caught it with his bare hands and swung his long spear to throw the archers away. A single hit can knock the chariot over. An armored soldier took advantage of this and climbed onto the speeding chariot. The dagger stabbed General Duan Cheng from behind. General Duan Cheng just turned around and chopped off its head with the long sword in his hand.
General Zheng Ming drove his chariot forward to ask for a fight, and then rushed towards him with his chariot. He charged into the rebel army and shouted: "Old man, take your life." General Duan Cheng turned his chariot and shouted: "Dog thieves" , I will definitely kill you." Just as General Duan Cheng was rushing to kill, hidden arrows were fired from the rebel army, and Duan Cheng was hit by several arrows. General Zheng Ming rushed forward in his chariot. He pulled out the halberd in his hand and knocked the spear from General Duan Cheng's hand. He jumped on Duan Cheng's chariot and cut off General Duan Cheng's head. He then raised General Duan Cheng's head. He said: "The general is dead, and those who lay down their weapons will not be killed." The soldiers all cried bitterly, beating their chests and shouting: "General Duan!" Another soldier shouted: "We want to avenge General Duan and get rid of the national traitors. "These soldiers rushed forward to kill them. Behind them were thousands of arrows, killing these soldiers one after another. General Zheng Ming rushed up and said, "Why do you want to shoot them?" General Wang Cuo came out in a chariot and said, "They regard you as a national traitor and want to kill you." Lord Wu An drove forward in his chariot and looked at these people everywhere. The corpse said: "In this battle, our army lost soldiers and generals. General Duan Cheng is always getting stronger, and he killed several of our generals. He was very brave. General Duan Cheng should be buried with the rites of a prince." Then he turned to General Zheng Ming and said: "Zheng General Ming, your loyalty is a lesson to the world. You are a loyal and righteous man. You saved the Korean people from the suffering of the war. You have good intentions! Let the later historians comment. I believe they will give you the most fair evaluation. "
Yiyang was captured by the Qin army. It took the Qin army half a month to attack Yiyang. This war lasted the longest and was the most brutally fought. Outside the city were corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood. A vague smell of blood floated from a distance. I followed the smell and came to this vast land. I saw corpses lying in disorder in front of me. Each corpse was not that complete, or the head was missing. The blood is broken, or the limbs are broken, and the blood is everywhere, and the blood is flowing horizontally. Drops of blood seeped into the soil, glowing black and red. The bloody smell in the air became even stronger, attracting a group of carnivorous birds to circle in the air and make hoarse bird calls. The sky was densely covered with haze, and the vast land was filled with rivers of blood. Corpses were strewn across the fields. All you could see were stumps and broken arms, as well as unyielding heads rolling in the corners. The soldiers who died in battle still stared at the corner of the sky with unwilling eyes. Birds in the sky swooped down and landed on the blood-stained corpses, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood. The spears and swords were broken and broken, half-buried among the soil and corpses, glimmering faintly in the dim skylight. There were heavy dark clouds floating under the gray sky. A few vultures flew quietly from behind the jagged clouds, hovering at low altitude and making bursts of high-pitched and harsh calls. Sometimes it swooped down and landed among the half-rotten corpses, sometimes it was frightened and flew up, disappearing into the depths of the haze in the blink of an eye, accompanied by the birdsong that gradually faded away.
Wu Anjun stood among these corpses, pressing the hilt of the long sword hanging on his waist with one hand, looking at the Qin soldiers who died in the battle, and even an insect like him, who had dedicated his life to killing, was sighing repeatedly. The howling wind blew its red war robes fluttering in the air, the fire burned the battle flag, and thick smoke filled the sky.
In this battle, Qin's troops were damaged, and they temporarily reorganized in Yiyang. They wrote to the King of Qin overnight, requesting the King of Qin to send reinforcements and supplies of food and supplies. After writing the letter, they placed the bamboo slips in a bamboo tube and sealed them with wax. He called a soldier and ordered: "Send this battle report to Xianyang and report victory to the king." The soldier received the victory report, exited the general's mansion, looked at the night sky, flapped his wings and flew high to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
The soldiers fell below the city tower and shouted to the top of the city tower: "Yiyang has reported good news, please open the city gate." The city gate opened, and the soldiers flew into the capital, shouting all the way: "Yiyang has reported good news, Yiyang has reported good news." Enter. The King of Qin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we have good news from Yiyang." The King of Qin stood up and said, "We have been attacking Yiyang for half a month, and Yiyang was finally captured. Lord Wu'an is really the God of War of our Great Qin." Xiangguo Station He looked out to the King of Qin and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Lord Wu An has made another great contribution to our great Qin." This sentence gave King Qin a wake-up call, and his achievements shocked the Lord. The King of Qin also understood the situation, sat down, calmed down for a while, and said: "Send the good news up here." Looking at the eunuch standing next to him, the eunuch stepped down, took the good news, and handed it into the hands of the King of Qin. The King of Qin used a dagger to open the wax seal and took out the bamboo slips, which read: "After several rounds of large and small battles, the army captured Yiyang. It has lost nearly 600,000 troops and will run out of food and fodder. I bow my head here and petition the king to send me a message." One million reinforcements and five hundred thousand stones of grain and grass were transported to Yiyang. I will send troops to attack Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and force the King of Han to come to cede the territory for peace." King Qin put down the bamboo slips, faced the Prime Minister, and said: "Prime Minister, this is Lord Wu'an's Good news." Then he threw down the bamboo slips and said, "Take it and take a look." Xiangguo picked up the dropped bamboo slips. After reading it, he looked at King Qin sitting in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the city of Yiyang is strong. , and there are good generals guarding it, which is impregnable. It took Wu'an Lord half a month to attack Yiyang, which depleted the army and national strength. It was not easy, but Wu'an Lord lived up to everyone's expectations and captured Yiyang. It is also because Wu'an Lord used his troops like a god. This cannot be denied. "The king of Qin said: "Jun Wu'an has no merit and can be granted the title. Prime Minister, what do you think I should grant him?" The prime minister said: "I will give him thousands of pieces of brocade and silk, thousands of grains of grain, money and jewels. I will take this as a reward." King Qin was delighted after hearing this and said, "Xiang Guo, where do you think we can mobilize our troops?" Xiang Guo replied, "Your Majesty, I have nearly a million troops and horses in Guanzhong that can be mobilized." King Qin said, " Well, the Prime Minister will be responsible for this matter." The Prime Minister bowed out of the Qin Palace, mobilized soldiers and horses from Guanzhong, gathered together the grain, grass and baggage, and transported them to Yiyang together. The army reorganized in Yiyang for one day and joined the reinforcements the next day. Gather the army today and march towards Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.
At this time, the Korean envoys had arrived at Daliang, the capital of Wei State, and entered the Wei Palace to meet the King of Wei. The King of Wei saw the envoy standing under the main hall and asked: "Is this the envoy from South Korea under the main hall?" The envoy stood on his shoulder and looked at the King of Wei and said: "It is Ji Wu, the high minister of South Korea. Ji Wu is my minister. The king ordered me to come and pay homage to the king of Wei." The king of Wei asked: "Why did the foreign envoys come to our country of Wei?" Ji Wudao, the envoy of Han, said: "Qin is attacking our country, South Korea. Please send troops to help our country, South Korea." King Wei was a little embarrassed. He said: "The foreign envoy still needs to go to the State of Zhao and ask the King of Zhao to send troops to unite the three armies of Zhao, Chu and Wei to attack the State of Qin. As long as the King of Zhao agrees to send troops, we, the State of Wei, will immediately send troops to assist South Korea."
