Batokin rode a fast horse to Jinyang and stood outside the city tower. When the soldiers left the city, a soldier came forward and asked, "Who are you?" Batokin dismounted and said, "I am the king's messenger, and I want to meet with your General Dao Yan." A soldier entered the city to inform the general. The palace said: "General, there is a messenger from the king outside the city asking to see him." General Dao Yan stood up and walked out: "Follow me out of the city to meet the king's messenger." General Dao Yan and Jinyang ordered Xu Jing to go out of the city to greet him, kowtowed and said: " Envoy." Batokin returned the greeting: "General, big insect." General Dao Yan walked up the road: "Enter the envoy, let's enter the city together."
Batojin led the horse into the city with General Dao Yan and Jinyang order Xu Jing, and entered the general's mansion together. General Dao Yan walked up and sat in front of several cases. Jinyang ordered Xu Jing to sit aside. General Daoyan looked at Batokin and said, "Sir, please take a seat." Batokin kowtowed and said, "Thank you, General." Batokin walked up and sat aside. General Daoyan asked: "I wonder if the king is okay?" Batokin replied: "The king is very good. The king has arrived at Jingxing now." Then he walked up and said: "I am here to deliver the king's letter." Then from He took out the slip from his arms. General Dao Yan stood up and walked up. He bowed and stretched out his hands, took the letter very respectfully and walked up. He sat in front of several cases. After reading it, he said solemnly: "Order of Jinyang, the king ordered me to send troops to assist the party. I What I'm worried about is that if I lead troops out of the city and rush to Shangdang, Jinyang will be empty, the Qin army will take advantage of it, and Jinyang will be lost." Jinyang made Xu Jing feel relieved and said: "General, there is no need to worry about this. Worry, I think the king must have a clever plan in mind to retreat the Qin army." General Dao Yan led his troops out of Jinyang, leaving Jinyang to order Xu Jing to guard the city. Jinyang ordered Xu Jing to be proficient in political affairs, but he did not know how to use troops, and Jinyang was empty. It knows that the king does not follow routines when using troops, and the reinforcements sent to the party must be a plan of the king to confuse the enemy.
General Dao Yan led the army and marched all day and night. The Qin army besieged Shangdang several times, and the siege was completely impenetrable. However, Shangdang could not be attacked for a long time. At this time, Shangdang was impregnable. The trebuchets were pushed up, and there were millions of troops around to assist the attack. The trebuchets threw stones and hit the tower. The defenders on the tower suffered numerous casualties. Looking down at the inside and outside of Shangdang City, the army outside the city swarmed up, and the army inside the city continued to gather on the city tower. The Qin army outside the city pushed the siege chariot forward despite the rain of arrows. Many soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows. The soldiers behind came forward and continued to push the siege chariot forward under the cover of the catapult. The defenders on the city poured scalding oil, fired rockets, and set fire to the siege engines. The soldiers on the siege vehicle were on fire, rolled down, and were forced to retreat. General Slaughterer Bee rushed out in his chariot and stood in front of the Qin army's formation. He pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed at the tower in front and shouted: "The army continues to attack the city." He drove the chariot and led the main force behind him to attack together. superior.
General Dao Yan led the army to Shangdang. He stood on the mountain col and said to the army behind him: "Bring me my bow and arrows." General Dao Yan stood on the chariot, drew the bow and nocked the arrow, shot it, and shot down the massacre. The red tassel on General Bee's helmet shocked General Butcher Bee. General Dao Yan laughed loudly and said to the army behind him: "Soldiers behind you, listen, the Qin Army's rear square formation is in front of you. Follow me and kill towards the Qin Army's formation." The shouts of killing stopped. They rose up, swooped down, and rushed towards the square formation behind the Qin army. The Qin army was in chaos. The Qin army in front rushed back, and the army spread out its formation to surround the attacking Zhao army.
The guard general and General Zhao Yunchu stood on the tower and watched, saying happily: "Our reinforcements have arrived. Listen, follow me and fight out of the city." Zhao Li walked up and said: "There is no need for the general to lead When the troops leave the city, we only need to bid 10,000 elite soldiers, and the bid will definitely kill the Qin soldiers outside the city." General Zhao Yunchu walked up to the road: "Young Master, please be careful!" Zhao Li patted his chest and said, "General, please Don't worry." General Zhao Yunchu patted it on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead."
Although Zhao Li was a small soldier at this time, he still had the style of a general. He led 10,000 fine cavalry out of the city, rushed towards the Qin army, and inserted from the outside. Zhao Li rode on his horse and jumped over the shield soldiers. He raised the ax in his hand, broke through the shield soldiers, and broke through the Qin army's heavy encirclement. The Qin army was in chaos, and General Dao Yan drove his chariot back and forth to kill the chaotic army. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, General Butcher Bee ordered the withdrawal. The Qin army was quickly killed and retreated, fleeing in panic.
Zhao Li dismounted and kowtowed to him, saying, "General." General Dao Yan got off his chariot and stood in front of Zhao Li, saying, "Young master, no courtesy." He looked at Zhao Li carefully and was very satisfied. He laughed and said: "Young Master is a rare and powerful general in our Zhao Kingdom. It is easy to take the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops." General Dao Yan liked the Zhao Li in front of him very much, and he was quite fond of it. Appreciate. Zhao Li said: "General, please follow me into the city." General Dao Yan entered the city with Zhao Li, stood on the tower and looked away. Zhao Li said worriedly: "When the general comes with his troops this time, isn't Jinyang empty? If the Qin army takes the opportunity to go north, what will happen to the general?" General Dao Yan said: "Young master, you don't have to worry about this. Worry, the king must have a clever plan in his mind." Zhao Li looked away and said: "I believe that my father will definitely defeat the Qin army."
The Qin army retreated and camped ten miles away. General Tu Renfeng walked into the Qin army's base camp, entered the commander's tent, and gathered all the generals in the commander's tent. A Qin general came up and said: "General, it has been two years since we attacked the Dangdang, and we have been defeated. We are afraid that the army will lose its morale over time." General Tu Renfeng stood up and walked out: "Order the army to strengthen its defense. The reinforcements in the city have arrived. I'm afraid there will be an attack on the camp tonight." The Qin general kowtowed and said, "I will obey the order." The generals withdrew from the commander's tent.
General Killer Bee turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall. At this time, he was also worried. General Zifan walked in and said, "General Butcher Bee." General Butcher Bee walked down and stood in front of General Zifan and said, "General Zifan, why are you here?" General Zifan said, "I I am here just to relieve the general's worries." General Slaughterer Bee looked at General Zifan in front of him and said, "General Zifan, please sit down." General Zifan sat aside, and General Slaughterer Bee walked up and sat on the commander's seat. Go up and say: "General Zifan must have a plan in mind, you might as well tell him." General Zifan said: "General, attack Shangdang. Shangdang is assisted by Jinyang guard Dao Yan. Shangdang is impregnable and cannot be attacked for a long time. , the morale of the army will be weakened and morale will be low. If the Zhao army in the city breaks out at this time, what will happen to our Qin army? I think the general should know." General Tu Renfeng said worriedly: "General Zifan That's right. Shangdang cannot be attacked for a long time, which is what I'm worried about. It will be detrimental to our army in the long run!" General Zifan said thoughtfully: "Shangdang has elite soldiers and strong generals, and its fierce generals are like clouds. Zhao The king's son, Zhao Li, could seize the enemy general's head among thousands of troops, just like picking out an object from a bag. General Dao Yan was even more brave and resourceful, and General Zhao Yunchu and other powerful generals were also on the party. How could the general attack? What? Why didn't the general abandon Shangdang and attack Jinyang?" After hearing this, General Tu Renfeng asked again: "I don't know what the general said?" General Zifan said: "Jinyang guard Dao Yan led 800,000 people If the elite army comes to aid the party, Jinyang will definitely be empty. Jinyang is only guarded by Xu Jing, the commander of Jinyang. However, this Xu Jing does not know how to use troops at all. Our army can avoid the real and attack the weak, attack Jinyang, and wait for Jinyang to be captured After that, go south to attack Handan, and Shangdang can be liberated." General Tu Renfeng patted his forehead and began to understand, and said: "Okay, I will lead the army to attack Jinyang. I don't know what General Zifan has planned." General Zifan said: "I continued to lead the army to besiege Shangdang, in order to confuse the Zhao army in the city and give the general time to attack Jinyang."
They divided their forces into two groups, one with an army of 800,000 people led by General Tu Renfeng and marching north to attack Jinyang, while the other with an army of one million people led by General Zifan continued to besiege Shangdang, making it impossible for the Zhao army in the city to escape. The army led by Tu Renfeng marched in a hurry day and night. At dawn the next day, 800,000 Qin troops arrived outside Jinyang City and formed a square formation to prepare for the attack. Jinyang ordered Xu Jing to stand on the city tower and look at the Qin army's formation outside the city. They ordered the army to withdraw from Jinyang before the war started, and Jinyang was soon captured. When the Qin army entered the city, Jinyang was just an empty city.
The Killer Bee led the army to continue the pursuit. The army pursued them to the Jingxing Death Valley, but began to hesitate and wander in front of the Death Valley. General Slaughterer Bee drove forward on his chariot and shouted: "Why did the army stop advancing?" The deputy general said: "We pursued all the way, but we did not find the Zhao army. The terrain in the valley is dangerous and there may be an ambush. General, please think twice." General Butcher Bee said disapprovingly: "There are only the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city, but they must be in this valley." The deputy general advised: "General, let's find some nearby villagers to ask." The deputy general said What he said was not unreasonable. It would be better to ask the local people to find out clearly, so he said: "You go ahead." The deputy general got off the chariot and found a nearby villager. General Butcher Bee bent down and asked, "Fellow, what is the name of this valley?" The villager looked at the army behind Butcher Bee and said, "You are the Qin army, right?" General Butcher Bee said, "Yes, we are. Qin Army, this time I personally led a large army to help you restore your country." The villager pretended to be happy and said: "You came at the right time, we are all the people of Zhongshan Kingdom, and we hope that your Qin Army will be like nectar water!" Then the villagers came forward and said: "King Zhao is also at Jingxing." General Slaughterer Feng found out that King Zhao was at Jingxing, and he became even more interested and asked: "How many soldiers and horses did King Zhao bring?" The villager replied: "Zhao Wang is here." The king is visiting the people privately without any troops. He is currently surveying the terrain in this valley." General Slaughterer Bee said with a smile: "Okay, you have done a great job. If you capture King Zhao right now, I will defend you in front of the king. Please give me credit, and from now on you will be a commoner of our Qin State." The villager said, "I will lead the way for the general."
This villager led the army into Death Valley. There were many bones at the bottom of Death Valley. The villagers who led them disappeared into a forest. They have penetrated deep into the bottom of Death Valley. However, this Death Valley is like a maze. Once you enter, it is difficult to get out. The roads in front of you are crisscrossed with each other and the terrain is complex. 800,000 Qin troops are trapped at the bottom of the valley. They have been here for a long time. Spin. The general stood on the chariot and looked around. Everything was the same, and he couldn't tell the direction. General Butcher Bee called the deputy general and asked: "Where are the villagers who led the way just now?" The deputy general replied: "I don't know where to go." General Butcher Bee then realized and shouted: "No, you fell into the enemy's plan. Order the army to withdraw from the valley, and do it quickly." The army was ordered to return, but eventually they returned to the same place, as if they had turned in a big circle, as if they were spinning in place, unable to get out. In addition, it was oppressively hot, moisture was rising from the ground, clouds were gathering in the sky, and thunder continued. The weather is unpredictable and it looks like it's going to rain. The weather in the valley is so weird, the thunder is getting louder, the wind is howling, and the surrounding trees are swaying constantly. General Slaughterer Bee looked up at the sky, and there were dark clouds pressing down, with constant lightning. The army was ordered to rest where they were, and the sergeants sat around, enjoying a moment of coolness. There were bursts of thunder, and finally there was a thunderous thunder, and the earth began to tremble, deafening. The soldiers covered their ears. Lightning pierced the thick clouds, chopping down, and burning the big trees in front of him. Smoke rose from the sky, and electric currents streaked down the clouds. General Butcher Bee was even more panicked when he saw this. He climbed onto the chariot and pulled out the With the long sword on his waist, he shouted: "Go up the mountain." A thunderous thunder struck down with electric current, and General Killer Bee was chopped into coke by lightning, with black smoke rising from the sky. General Killer Bee was struck to death by lightning. The army at the bottom of the valley was in a panic. Electric current struck them all around, and countless soldiers were trampled or killed by lightning. The army was suddenly reduced to half, suffering heavy losses.
