This is a letter written by Huang Zu. The letter clearly states that our side is in danger and the only place we can break through is Tongguan. We ask Wu Jun to persist. The Ling Army will also try every means to join forces with them.
After Huangfu Ye read it, he fell into deep contemplation.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, General Xiang Mo couldn't help shouting: "General."
"Ah?" Huangfu Ye came back to his senses, put down the letter, looked around and said, "Huang Zu meant not to break through from Shanyu Pass, but from Tongguan."
"Where is the Chu army?" someone asked.
"He didn't mention the Chu army." Huangfu Ye said: "But his considerations are not unreasonable. After all, there are not many defenders in Wei Qing's first division at Tongguan. Relatively speaking, it is easier to break through than Shanyuguan. ."
"What the general means is..."
Huangfu Ye pondered for a moment: "We can continue to attack Tongguan, but the key problem is that Sun Qi's troops are approaching our army. This is a big trouble."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Mo immediately said: "Isn't the general afraid of being beaten by the Qin army?"
"What do you mean!?" Huangfu Ye was a little unhappy.
Xiang Mo said: "What the general means is that Sun Qi is nothing to be afraid of. He only has a hundred thousand troops, and our army now has an army of 150,000. We can fight decisively with him and defeat Sun Qi first! In order to eliminate our worries. !Even if Wei Qing from Tongguan knew about it, he would not dare to act rashly."
Although Xiang Mo was brave and foolhardy, his words hit the point.
Yes, why can't we turn around and repel Sun Qi's troops first after waiting for him to retreat?
Thinking of this, Huangfu Ye's expression softened, and then he touched his chin: "Well...don't tell me, what I said to the general does make sense. What's more, Sun Qi's army is not an elite division of the Qin State."
On the other side, Sun Qibu.
This army was indeed approaching the Wu army, but at this time, Su Yi sent a letter, telling Sun Qi that he had set up an ambush in the Xiaoshan area, cutting off the link between the Ling army and the Wu army, allowing Sun Qi to He uses his camera and his troops.
It is not easy to annihilate 150,000 Wu troops with 100,000 troops. First of all, you cannot launch an encirclement battle. You must have the cooperation of the main force to complete the mountain annihilation strategy.
Based on this issue, Sun Qi immediately started discussions with the generals, and finally made the decision to pretend to fight the decisive battle with the Wu army. During the decisive battle, he used Guan Kui as a small force and took the opportunity to go around to the stronghold on the right side of the Wu army to attract the main force of the Wu army. , and then our own large forces cut off the Wu army's route to Tongguan and forced it to retreat to the vicinity of Xiaoshan.
This was a relatively complex tactic that required the commander's ability. What Sun Qi didn't know was that Huangfu Ye was also about to have a decisive battle with him.
Therefore, two days later, the two armies coincided with each other and began to confront each other on a large plain.
It's winter now, and the north wind is howling, blowing on people's faces like a knife.
On the plain, flags were fluttering and the cold wind was biting.
The soldiers of the Qin army wore black armor and red tassels. Inside the armor were winter clothes to keep out the cold.
Although the Wu army looks good, the officers and men are shivering in the cold wind. This is human instinct and cannot be controlled by you.
You know, they started attacking Qin in April and May, so you can imagine how thin their clothes were.
This result was all due to the Xuan Army's sudden participation in the war, which resulted in the interruption of subsequent supplies and the failure to send cold-resistant armaments to the front line in time.
Huangfu Ye was also very cold. He was in a handsome car. He had just stepped out when the wind blew him, and he shrunk his neck. After rubbing his hands, he pulled out his sword.
"Start the war——"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The exciting war drums sounded.
The ground seemed to begin to shake, and the overwhelming Wu army began to march forward in neat steps, because at this distance, their arrows could not be reached at all.
On the side of the Qin army, Sun Qi also gave an order, and all the generals drew their swords.
The sound of neat armor scraping sounded, and several rows of Qin troops had already loaded their bows and pointed their arrows diagonally upward.
Another crossbow machine was pushed to the front of the formation, and the sound of mechanical bounces became a continuous sound.
"put--"
The command flag swayed, and with a buzzing sound, the bows and arrows were lifted from their strings, and thousands of arrows were fired in unison. It was like a black cloud, rushing up and covering the sky. The dense black dots gathered together, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and swept down.
"Shield array——"
The Wu army was also a regular army, well-trained. Almost instantly, the vertical shields connected together to form a huge shield array, like a mirror.
Plop, plop!
The arrow array came, and the vertical shields were filled with arrows in an instant. However, despite the shield array, many soldiers were still shot to the ground and howled miserably.
The straight-shooting crossbow arrows fired by the crossbow machine were much thicker than ordinary arrows. They were carried by strong winds and hit the shield array. In an instant, there was a gap and people fell over.
After a round of arrow formation, Wu Jun suffered a lot of losses, but this did not stop them.
Immediately afterwards, the Qin army fired another salvo, gaining an absolute advantage in long-range strikes.
Huangfu Ye, who was looking at the overall situation, couldn't help frowning when he saw this. This is the reason why many countries in the world are unwilling to confront the Qin army when their forces are equal. Besides, you will definitely suffer a loss.
The large-scale casualties caused Wu Jun to speed up his pace and changed from pressing forward to charging at a loose pace.
Not long after, the two armies were approaching a hundred paces, and the Wu army began to fire back random arrows.
"Fight the enemy——"
The commander of the Qin army pointed his flag again.
"ha--"
There was a chorus of shouts, accompanied by the sound of neat soldiers.
Looking sideways, the halberds were facing forward in unison, forming a row.
The soldiers of the Qin army in the front row began to hold their long halberds, facing the Wu army, and pushed back.
The two sides soon met, and the halberds were stabbed together, and blood immediately splashed on the spot.
Some soldiers raised their swords high, roared loudly, and rushed towards the enemy with their shields raised.
Fierce fighting was taking place everywhere on the battlefield.
On the vast plain, a life-and-death battle broke out between soldiers of two different colors.
At the point of confrontation, the fierce generals of both sides were already at the forefront.
Xiang Mo wielded a long sword. As if he was in an uninhabited land, several swords came towards him. He refused to dodge or give way. He made a horizontal move with the long sword with one hand, and at the same time, he blocked the attack and struck forward fiercely. Several Qin soldiers were attacked. Jun suddenly howled miserably and was directly knocked away by the brutal force, crashing into his own crowd, causing a commotion.
Tang Yue's situation was similar to his. The silver spear slashed left and right. Every blow caused not one or two casualties, but a large-scale chaos.
There is no doubt that the general's courage plays an important role on the battlefield.
While observing the battle situation, Sun Qi also raised his head to look at the sky. At this time, Guan Kui's small force should have reached the designated position.
