Qi was attacked by Yan and defeated one after another. Seeing the Yan army approaching the capital of Qi, the Marquis of Qi once again mobilized the army from the country while letting the army that attacked Huai return.
Because they wanted to attack Huaihe, Qi State mobilized all its elites, and most of those left behind were old and weak. Because the Yan State has been fighting against the Yi and Di all year round, its soldiers are brave and good at fighting. The Qi State can only rely on the city to resist and slow down the Yan State's attack.
On the other side, after receiving the news of Yan's attack, the Qi general's face turned ugly. At this time, the Qi army was on the offensive. He was about to break through Xiapi and occupy the Huaisi land. However, the Yan State made a sneak attack. Even though the Qi general No matter how unwilling he is, he has no choice but to retreat.
It's just that you can't retreat if you want to at this time. The secret guards of Huai State in Qi State got the news as soon as possible and then passed it back, no later than the general of Qi State got the news.
Fan Jie is the son of Fan Li. Although he is not as capable as his father, he is still very capable. After getting the news, immediately let the Tengjia Army prepare.
Ever since he led his army to guard Xiapi, he has not let the Tengjia army go into battle. Even if there is another crisis on the battlefield, he has been holding back just for today.
He wanted the general of the Qi army to believe that there was no Tengjia army on the Xiapi battlefield, and then released it at the critical moment to make the final decision.
And now is the opportunity.
Although the Qi army planned to withdraw, it could not withdraw directly, so it still launched an attack, but the intensity of the attack was significantly reduced. And the number of people attacking was also much smaller.
The commander-in-chief of the Qi Army divided the army into two teams. One team retreated first, then stopped and set up camp, and the other team continued to retreat. This alternate withdrawal was indeed a safe method, but he underestimated the strength of the Tengjia Army.
Seeing that the Qi army's attack was weakening, Fan Jie decisively opened the city gate and led the Tengjia army to attack. The Tengjia Army was originally the elite of the Huai Kingdom. During this period, they had been forced not to go out to fight. Seeing Pao Ze resist and die, his heart had long been filled with anger. This fight, he immediately vented all his anger.
For a month in a row, Huai State only defended and never attacked. Qi State had become accustomed to it. As a result, Huai State suddenly dispatched, and Qi State did not react at all. Tens of thousands of Tengjia troops were like tigers emerging from the cage, and they all took the lead bravely.
The Qi State's siege army was directly defeated, and then the Tengjia Army drove the defeated troops to attack the Qi State Camp.
The Tengjia Army moved out too quickly, and the Qi army was in the process of withdrawing. As a result, the Tengjia Army broke through the camp in one battle, and the Qi army was defeated.
Seeing this situation, the Huai State army immediately dispatched and launched an attack. The Qi State rear army suffered heavy casualties. The Huai army pursued for fifty miles. After seeing that another army of Qi had set up a camp and formed a defensive formation, they slowly retreated.
The Qi army's rear troops suffered heavy casualties and did not dare to stay any longer, so the army quickly withdrew. After the Huai State won a victory, they stopped pursuing. After all, the Huai State did not have enough troops. At the same time, it had to deal with the Chu State and the Three Jins, and it needed to rush to support as soon as possible.
After seeing that Huai Guo no longer pursued, Qi State was relieved and evacuated all the way back to Qi State to stop the Yan army.
Just after Yan State attacked Qi State, Qin State far to the west finally decided to send troops to attack Wei. At this time, a large number of soldiers were mobilized from the Xihe area of Wei State, and there were only 20,000 Wei soldiers left behind.
After seeing the stalemate between Wei and Huai on the land of Song, the Qin State immediately felt that an opportunity had come. In order to get the land of Xihe, they immediately mobilized all the national troops and recruited all the Qin people over the age of fifteen and four. Men under the age of ten. Prepare to attack the land of Xihe.
This time, the Qin State mobilized almost all the men in the country and assembled an army of 500,000 to attack Hexi. After hearing the news, the Marquis of Wei was also shocked. The army of 500,000 was really astonishing.
You must know that the six countries attacking Huaihe in this battle only had between 700,000 and 800,000 soldiers in total. Now the Qin State alone can mobilize an army of 500,000.
But soon the Marquis of Wei realized that the Qin State had only a small population, and now it had mobilized an army of 500,000, which meant that all the young people in the country were brought here.
The Qin State used the whole country to fight a national war with the Wei State.
The Marquis of Wei quickly mobilized the army of the country and appointed Prince Cheng as the commander-in-chief to support Xihe. At the same time, he sent an order to Wu Qi to recall the army.
Wu Qi was not surprised when he received the news that Qin was attacking Xihe. Before he went on the expedition, he had expected that the Qin State would not give up this opportunity, so he had left arrangements in the Xihe area, allowing Wei soldiers to stay and defend, which would be enough to support him until he led his army to return for reinforcements.
He even sneered in his heart at the fact that the Qin State had mobilized an army of 500,000 to attack Wei. In his opinion, Qin's approach was completely a recipe for death. Among the 500,000-strong army, at least 200,000 of them were poorly trained militiamen. How can we compete with the elite trained Wei soldiers?
The 500,000 Qin troops were of no use except for being bloated in numbers.
However, if Wei returned to the army, instead of gaining any advantage in this battle, the Three Jin Dynasties would lose their troops and generals, and gain almost nothing. When the army went out for the expedition, the Marquis of Wei had discussed with Wu Qi, and when the army returned after capturing the Song Kingdom, they took advantage of the situation and annexed the Wei Kingdom.
In this way, not only can a large amount of land be obtained, but the road from Zhao State into the Central Plains will be completely blocked.
Now it seems that it is impossible to conquer the Song Dynasty, but it is not difficult to annex the Wei Kingdom. Thinking of this, Wu Qi immediately summoned Han, Zhao and Wei to discuss retreating.
Wei was originally the strongest among the four countries. Now that Wei has taken the initiative to retreat, the other countries are unable to oppose it.
Therefore, the three Jin Dynasties discussed how to withdraw their troops. The three Jin Dynasties did not withdraw their troops secretly. Naturally, Huai Kingdom got the news immediately.
Wang Pu did not order the army to pursue him. Facing Wu Qi, Wang Pu just wanted to fight in vain, build a stronghold, and use up his strength little by little.
If he pursues at this time, once Wu Qi leaves an ambush on the way back, Huai Kingdom will suffer heavy losses.
Wang Pu sent spies, and after Wu Qi led his troops to retreat, he waited another day before beginning to regain the lost territory.
Wang Pu's worries came true. After seeing that Wang Pu's army did not pursue him, Wu Qi also withdrew the ambushed army. Wang Pu also had lingering fears after hearing the spies' report.
This time, if he pursues it greedily, he will most likely fall into a trap.
What surprised Wang Pu was that when the Wei State retreated to Wei State, it immediately annexed Wei State, abolished Wei State on the grounds that Wei Li, the king of Wei State, had usurped the throne, and established a new king, leaving a city behind. as its fiefdom.
South Korea and Zhao State did not react at all, and Wei State was occupied. This made Zhao Hou very angry, but after seeing the power of Wei Wuzu, he did not dare to say anything for a while, but he became more and more jealous of Wei Hou in his heart.
