General Qin

Forty miles south of Daicheng.

The place where the Qin army camped before.

The Dai army that came over for more than ten miles stopped here to rest temporarily.

Although they said they wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue the fleeing Qin army, but after running more than ten miles from the hidden valley to here, the infantry were already out of breath, and the chariots and riders also needed to stop for a while to rest their horsepower, otherwise the men and horses would be exhausted. The combat power of the generation army has been greatly reduced, and if they don't stop to rest for a while, how can they still have combat power to meet the next battle.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of luggage falling from the camp here, which shows the urgency of the Qin army's retreat. Zhao Tuo's assassination is definitely true."

Chen Yu came over with a happy face.

Dai Wang Jia looked around. When the Qin army retreated, they left a mess. There were broken cauldrons on the ground not far away, and even a few fallen coins could be seen among the messy footprints on the ground.

As Chen Yu said, if it weren't for the urgent order to retreat, why would the soldiers of the Qin army not even have time to pick up the money that fell on the ground.

Dai Wang Jia recruited people to ask about the situation of the scouts ahead.

"Your Majesty, according to our scouts, the Qin army broke out of camp last night, and now it is probably more than 20 miles away from us, and it has disappeared. Its Xing army pulled out of camp this morning, only ten miles away from our army. Left and right. Looking at the marching array, it is quite scattered, and it seems to be in a state of panic."

Hearing this, Dai Wang Jia's doubts completely dissipated.

Qin Jun is innocent!

Chen Yu laughed loudly and said, "It must be that after Zhao Tuo was assassinated, the Central Army of Qin retreated first. Then it will end with its original Xingjun."

"Although the Qin army is larger than ours, it is now divided into two divisions, which is suitable for us to defeat each other! Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity. The Qin army retreated suddenly, and the lower ranks must be panicked because they don't know the situation."

"Your Majesty took the opportunity to use chariots and horses to surprise the soldiers of the Qin army who were cut off. At that time, shouting 'Zhao Tuo is dead' will break the morale of the army. Then our army will kill the Qin army on behalf of the cattle and sheep. As long as we can defeat the dead Supporting the Qin army, we can drive these routs of the Qin army straight to the central army further south. This is how Xiang Yan defeated Meng Wu in Huaiyang in the past, and how Zhao Tuo drove the routs and rushed to kill Tian Chong."

Amidst Chen Yu's laughter, Dai Wang Jia felt high-spirited, and couldn't help praising: "Mr. Chen is so wise, I love him very much. If we can defeat the Qin army this time, I will definitely regard Mr. Chen as my prime minister!"

"Chen Yu is mere capable, and An Neng is the prime minister of a country. The king is too famous."

Chen Yu smiled and "rejected", but looked to the north.

This time in pursuit of the Qin army, Zhang Liangkou claimed that he had no strength to fight, so he did not follow.

With the death of Han Cheng as the middleman, the differences between Chen Yu and Zhang Liang became more and more serious, and there was a tendency to part ways.

Chen Yu whispered, "Zifang Zhang in South Korea, that's all."

Confirming that the Qin army's retreat this time was not fraudulent, the Dai army rested for half an hour, and after recovering its energy, Dai Wang Jia issued a real attack order.

"Yan Cong, let me lead all the chariots and horses to chase after the rear of the Qin army. You have to be like a sharp knife, stab me hard into the Qin army's ass! Wrap this Qin army's broken soldiers, and the widows can lead the army Go forward and swallow it in one gulp!"

"Wei! The last general will not disgrace the king's order!"

Yan Cong, the general of the acting army, took the order loudly, and immediately stepped on his horse with great arrogance.

A moment later, the Dai army's five thousand chariots galloped across the Dai field again.

Dai Wang Jia himself led the remaining pawns and followed closely behind.

The cavalry and chariots galloped extremely fast, and when they were chasing all the way south and were about to reach a valley, they finally caught up with the tail of the Qin army.

Those were the 3,000 pawns who fell behind. They seemed to be carrying the luggage of the dead soldiers of the Qin army, and their speed was slower than other troops.

If these three thousand soldiers of the Qin Dynasty formed an array to resist in place, it would cause trouble for these generational army chariots and cavalry.

But when they heard the sound of horseshoes trampling and wheels rolling from behind, the three thousand Qin soldiers immediately became panicked.

The military chariots and riders of the same era shouted in the Qin language that they had just learned.

"Qin General Zhao Tuo is dead!"

"The Qin Army was defeated!"

In an instant, the three thousand Qin army collapsed. These Qin soldiers discarded their luggage, spread their legs and burrowed into the valley ahead.

Deputy General Yan Cong no longer had any doubts in his heart.

Everything was as expected by the king and Chen Jun, the Qin army's morale was unstable, and it was defeated with one blow!

"Qin army has been defeated, kill!"

"Don't pick up property and luggage, kill Qin Kou first!"

The Daijun chariot rushed past, and followed the fleeing Qin army in front of him into the valley.

This place is located at the northern foot of Taihang Mountain. Except for the road in the middle that can be used by vehicles and horses, the valleys on both sides are towering, with tall trees and grass on it, dense and lush.

If it was a normal battle, Yan Cong led his troops through this place, maybe he would worry about whether he would encounter an ambush.

But now Qin General Zhao Tuo has been assassinated, and the Qin Army’s barracks are in a mess due to hastily pulling out the camp. Qin soldiers.

All kinds of situations made Yan Cong relax his vigilance.

The acting general's face flushed red.

"When I drive away these routs of the Qin State and destroy the main force of the Qin army in the rear, I can make a great contribution. If the Qin army, which claims to be invincible in the world, is defeated by me, my name will also be as good as that of Xiang Yan. Shoulder to shoulder!"

Just as Yan Cong was daydreaming, there were bursts of screams and horses neighing from the forward cavalry.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Cong arrived on his horse, and saw an astonishing scene ahead.

The Daidi cavalry who rushed to the front had already been shot over, and the remaining knights hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped, not daring to charge forward.

In front of them, in a relatively open area in the valley, there was a black-armored army waiting for them.

Spears and long berylliums were placed flat, forming a forest of metal guns, swaying directly at the Dai army.

In the gap, there were soldiers of the Qin army holding crossbows looking at each other coldly.

"There is an ambush! How can Qin Jun be so treacherous!"

Yan Cong turned pale with shock, and shouted: "Get out, get out quickly!"

"late."

On a high ground on the east side of the valley, Zhao Tuo looked at the scene in the valley and spoke softly.

From his perspective, he could see that the five thousand chariots and riders of the Dai army had all entered the valley, forming a long snake in the valley.

With the sound of the horn as a signal, on both sides of the valley, the bowmen of the Qin army who had been ambushing for a long time stood up, and fired ten thousand arrows at the acting army chariots in the valley.

In an instant, there were screams in the valley.

"It's really a good plan for the general to lure and kill Daijun's chariots. Dairen use chariots as their masters. If they fight in the wilderness, it is difficult to kill them all. After entering the valley, all Daijun's chariots died here, and they came from behind. The infantry of the generation army will be vulnerable to a single blow, and our army will swallow them in one bite, and then go north to replace the city, then the overall situation of this battle of defeating the generation will be settled."

Beside him, Li Shiqi stroked his palm and praised.

On the side, Li Shang, who was accompanying him, asked: "Why did the general expect that the Dingdai army would chase after him and attack? If the other party doesn't pursue, what should we do?"

Zhao Tuo didn't answer.

Li Shiqi smiled and said: "The generation sent Zhao Shuo to assassinate the general, in order to take advantage of the chaos and severely injure the main force of the Qin army, so as to delay the time for Qin to destroy the dynasty."

"If they don't take any action after assassinating the general, what's the point of the assassination? The main force of the Qin army is guaranteed, and the king only needs to change the general to continue the task of defeating the generation. Therefore, the generation will never let go for their own survival. They have no choice about this opportunity that can severely damage the Qin army."

"And even if the Dai army really doesn't come, our Qin army can pretend to retreat to lower their vigilance, and then take advantage of the situation to sneak attack Dai city and catch him by surprise. So this time, whether the Dai army comes or not, our army will There are benefits to take. Can my brother understand?"

Li Shang opened his eyes wide and sighed in admiration: "Whether you come or not, this time will benefit us. The general is really a wise man."

Li Shang's admiration came to his ears. Looking at the scene in the valley in the distance, Zhao Tuo thought of the Qin army's habit of beheading captives and wounded soldiers and replenishing their heads.

He sighed slightly, and gave the order: "Pass down the order, and this time, those who submit will not be killed."

"Since the Daijun chariots died here, Shejian can attack the Daijun infantry in the rear."

...

About two miles north of the valley.

The infantry of the Yachiyo Army was marching, and the soldiers' breathing became very heavy after trekking.

"Cheqi has just heard about the military situation, and has already found the traces of the Qin army ahead."

Dai Wang Jia stood on the chariot, very excited.

Victory is at hand!

At this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly sounded ahead.

"Yan Cong is back?"

Dai Wang Jia was slightly surprised.

Relying on the height advantage of standing on the chariot, he could see hundreds of generations of cavalry running towards this place in the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, which made him feel very puzzled.

But then, bursts of screams sounded from the ranks of the acting troops.

"It's Qin Jun! Qin Jun!"

Dai Wang Jia opened his eyes wide, and he really saw that behind the galloping Dai army cavalry, there were actually a large number of Qin army cavalry in black armor, and Qin army infantry who could not see the end at a glance.

"The generation army has been defeated!"

"Vice general Yan Cong is dead!"

The soldiers of the Qin army shouted the name of the general they had just learned from the captives.

The voice was high-pitched, like bursts of thunder, which shocked everyone in the Yachidai army's infantry.

The hundreds of generations of cavalry who fled came first.

The faces of these defeated soldiers were terrified. Seeing their own army, some people couldn't help shouting: "Our military chariot is in ambush! We are defeated! We are defeated!"

When the news was confirmed, the faces of the acting army's infantry turned pale immediately, and many of them had no fighting intentions. Seeing that the situation was not right, they turned around and wanted to escape.

"Defense! Formation! If you escape, you will be dead!"

Dai Wang Jia screamed, but his voice could not control the situation at all.

Although there are also hot-blooded generations who obey the king's order, form an array in place, hold spears and halberds, and want to fight the Qin people to the death.

But more generations chose to flee for their lives.

Qin General Shejian, who was in charge of the command, ordered the whole army to attack, and the black wave surged up instantly.

"Your Majesty, abandon your chariot and get on your horse. Now that the defeat is over, there is no chance of winning this battle. Your Majesty should keep his useful body and withdraw to Daicheng! We should join forces with the Huns and fight against the Qin army again!"

Chen Yu said anxiously.

The trusted guards also stepped forward immediately, protecting Dai Wang Jia to get off the carriage and get on the horse.

"Isn't Zhao Tuo dead?"

Dai Wang Jiaqi murmured on the horse: "It seems that what Zhang Zifang said is correct. Although Zhao Tuo is dead, the Qin army still has a deputy general in command, so it cannot be easily pursued."

On the side, Chen Yu's face was extremely dark.

He remained silent, and followed Dai Wang Jia on his horse and fled in the direction of Daicheng.

Behind them, eight thousand defeated infantry of the generation army were chased, surrounded, killed, and captured by the Qin army.

An hour later.

The battlefield here has completely returned to calm.

The main force of the "evacuated" Qin army has all returned, and the black banner is waving in the wind.

Zhao Tuo stood on the chariot, looking at the blood and corpses all over the ground in front of him, expressionless.

"General, our army killed thousands of chariots and infantry in this battle. The exact number will take time to count. There are also about four to five thousand people captured, and countless people who fled."

Li Shang reported the rough statistics.

Zhao Tuo nodded.

In this battle, he used the assassination of Dairen to pretend to retreat, inducing the Dai army to pursue, and finally wiped out its main force in one fell swoop.

This method is similar to Sun Bin's ambush Pang Juan in Maling in the past, and it is an ancient ambush tactic.

"According to what the captives said, Zhao Jia has not had time to gather soldiers from other cities, and there are only 20,000 soldiers in Daicheng. This time he led more than 10,000 troops to attack us, and there are only five or six thousand guards in Daicheng."

Zhao Tuo made a calculation, and his eyes flashed with brilliance.

"Let Meng Tian lead our army to ride immediately, take advantage of the defeat of the Dai army, and raid the city of Dai, and maybe take the city in one fell swoop!"
