Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 207

Chapter 2: Baiqi Attacks Chencang

Cao Tian sat alone in the big tent of the Chinese army. For the first time, he felt powerless. Ever since Zhou Shen was ambushed and killed by the Qin army, the heavy burden of hundreds of thousands of Han troops was on Cao Tian's shoulders alone. He was so overwhelmed that he could hardly breathe. In these years, the famous generals of the Han Kingdom have withered. In the past, the three famous generals of the Han Kingdom swept all directions and shocked the world. But now, Fan Yi has passed away for many years, and now Zhou Shen is also dead. Alone.

Cao Tian is nearly sixty years old, and it seems that it is time to retire and return to his hometown, but at this point in time, he has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the entire Han Dynasty, which is really a misfortune.

"Kill!" Just as Cao Tian was feeling emotional, there was a shout of killing outside. Cao Tian frowned suddenly, got up and picked up the sword he carried with him, and walked outside the tent, but saw the front camp blazing everywhere.

At this time, Cao Sheng, Cao Tian's son, ran up to Cao Tian and said, "Report to my father, the Qin army is coming to attack the camp."

Cao Tian frowned and asked, "How's the situation in the front camp?" In fact, Cao Tian had already prepared for the night attack of the Qin army, and had already deployed a large number of elites in the front camp, but the situation seemed very bad. wonderful.

Sure enough, Cao Sheng said: "General Xiahou of the former battalion is already desperately resisting, but the Qin army has too many people, and the offensive is very fierce. Rush to support."

Cao Tian thought for a while and said: "Order Zhang Tong and Gu Sanfeng to mobilize troops and horses to support the front battalion. They must block the Qin army's offensive. Song Que protects the rear army's grain, Guanzhang, Fan Lu, Cao Ying protects the central army and supports the front army at any time."

"Here!" Cao Sheng responded and turned to leave.

Just when the Mongolian army was storming the Han camp, Bai Qi led [-] elite Qin troops, together with Qin generals Sheritu and Ma Sheng, quietly left the Qin camp, and headed straight into Mount Wuyue. .

Meng Zhan stood outside the camp of the Han army, watching the bloody battle between the two armies in the distance, and looked at the sky indifferently. It has been several hours of bloody battle now, and it will be dawn soon, and at this time, Bai Qi believes that he has led the army to leave the big The battalion entered Wuyue Mountain, so Meng Zhan ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

With the sound of gold ringing, the Qin army, which was still in a bloody battle with the Han army, retreated quickly, but the Han army did not pursue it because they were afraid of the Qin army's star-killing crossbow.

After Meng Zhan returned to the camp, Bai Qi had already left for a long time, Meng Zhan ordered: "Order the three armies to rest for a day, and prepare to leave the camp and go north to Yumi tomorrow."

"Here!"

The next day, under the banner of Bai Qi, Meng Zhan led more than [-] Qin troops to the north, without covering up their whereabouts all the way, because they couldn't cover up, so Meng Zhan simply walked away swaggeringly.

Cao Tian felt very strange that the Qin army had remained silent since it attacked the camp. At this time, the scouts came to report that the Qin army had pulled out the camp and went north, and when the movement was unknown, Cao Tian immediately thought that the Qin army might attack Yumi. It was a bad feeling, because the King of Han was in Yong County. If Yumi was captured by the Qin army, the King of Han would be in danger, so Cao Tian quickly ordered the whole army to go north to Yumi to resist the Qin army.

Along the way, scouts kept reporting back to the Qin army. When it came to the fact that the number of the Qin army was much smaller, Cao Tian also felt that something was wrong, but at this time it was almost Yumi, so Cao Tian stopped. Think so much.

In this way, everything returned to the original point, and the two armies faced off again outside Yumi City.

At this time, in Wuyue Mountain, Bai Qi already knew that Meng Zhan and Cao Tian had moved north to Yumi one after another, and when there was no more soldiers on the plain, Bai Qi led the army out of Wuyue Mountain and galloped all the way to Chen Cang and go.

Bai Qi led an army of [-] troops across the Weishui River at the fastest speed, and went straight to Chencang.

Chencang City, this is an important town in the south of Guanzhong in the Han Dynasty. Tens of thousands of elites are stationed all year round. The main purpose is to strengthen the connection between Hanzhong and Guanzhong. When entering Guanzhong, Cao Tian was able to block the Qin army by mobilizing Chencang soldiers and horses. At this time, Chencang City, because the King of Han mobilized all the soldiers and horses to resist the Qin army, is now guarded by only a few thousand people.

When Bai Qi led [-] Qin troops to appear under the city of Chencang, the guard of Chencang turned pale with fright, and hurriedly sent people to Yong County and Yumi to report the news, and at the same time ordered the whole army to prepare for war. As for the surrender of Kaesong, the guard did not even think about it. However, because the guard of Chencang was Zhou Shen's former army, Zhou Shen died tragically at the hands of the Qin army, and the guard wished to go to the battlefield in person to fight the Qin army, so how could he surrender the city.

Bai Qi looked at Chencang defenders' refusal to surrender, smiled disdainfully, and said: "The mantis is like a car, and it's beyond its control, Ma Cheng obeys orders!"

"The end is here!" Ma Sheng responded.

"I ordered you to lead the troops to attack the city. Within two hours, I will stand at the head of Chen Cang City!" Bai Qi said.

"Here!"

"Kill!" Ma Sheng led the Qin army to kill Chen Cangcheng, and the guard of Chen Cang also calmly commanded the defenders to counterattack, but Chen Cangcheng, which has only a thousand people, how can there be tens of thousands of Qin troops? As for the elite opponents, in less than an hour and a half, the Qin army under the leadership of Ma Sheng blasted open the gate of Chencang city, and tens of thousands of Qin troops poured into the city. In Yong County, a line of tears was left behind in sorrow, and he committed suicide and died for the country.

After Bai Qi led his troops into Chencang City, he sent several fast horses to Yumi, asking Meng Zhan to send reinforcements to support him, but he himself only stayed in Chencang for half a day before leading his troops northward, because before Chencang fell, there had been Sending people to Yumi and Yong County to report, so Bai Qi is now racing against time, and in order to buy time, Bai Qi left Ma Sheng to rush to Yong County with [-] infantry, while he and Sheritu led Twenty thousand cavalry rushed to attack Yong County.

Just when Bai Qi led [-] cavalry to gather in Yongxian County for less than a hundred miles, the King of Han in Yongxian County had already learned that Chencang had fallen, and the accompanying officials were all shocked. Many people suggested that the King of Han should quickly withdraw from Yongxian County and retreat to Mei County and even Meiyang, but was opposed by Zhang Hong, the military commander of the Han army, because after the Qin army broke through Chencang, they must have come to attack Yongxian County, and from the mouth of the Chencang defenders, the Qin army had always had more than [-] cavalry. If the King of Han left Yong County, he might be overtaken by the Qin army in a short time, so he might as well stay in Yong County.

The king of Han finally obeyed Zhang Hong's words and stayed in Yong County. At the same time, he ordered the gate of Yong County to be closed and sent people to Yumi to report the news.

Less than half an hour after the envoys of the Han army who went to Yumi to report the letter left Yong County, Bai Qi led [-] cavalry to the city of Yong County. When he saw Yong County with its gates closed, Bai Qi knew there was no chance. So Sheritu and [-] cavalry were left here to monitor Yong County and the [-] infantry who supported Ma Sheng, while he took [-] soldiers and horses to set traps and ambush.

And when Cao Tian learned that Baiqi appeared in Chencang, broke through Chencang, and rushed to Yong County, he was shocked. He finally understood why the Qin army had so many fewer people along the way. It turned out that they were going to attack Chencang. Tim immediately sent general Guanzhang to lead [-] soldiers and horses to rescue Yong County.

When Guanzhang's army left Yumi, Meng Zhan knew about it, so he quickly ordered a fierce attack on the Han army camp outside Yumi City. The matter of raiding Chen Cang and rushing to Yong County was revealed, and Meng Zhan also dispatched general Wang Feng to lead [-] cavalry southward to bypass Chen Cang to support Bai Qi in Yong County according to the original agreement. After finding it, he sent Ying Huai to lead [-] infantry southward.

After doing all this, Meng Zhan simply set up a star-killing crossbow array and slowly advanced towards the Han army's camp. As soon as the Han army came out, it would become the target of the Qin army's arrows.

Outside the city of Yong County, Guanzhang led fifty thousand Han troops here, but was ambushed by Bai Qi. Facing fifteen thousand cavalry of the Qin army, the fifty thousand troops were instantly beaten into a mess, with more than half of the casualties. Guanzhang had no choice but to Return Yumi.

After defeating the [-] Han army under Guanzhang, the [-] infantry led by Ma Sheng had also rushed to Yong County, and Bai Qi surrounded Yong County.

On the tenth day of September in the 15th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army besieged the king of Han in Yongxian County. Cao Tian was deeply aware of the crisis in Yongxian County, so he had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat to Yongxian County. When he was retreating, he was attacked by the Qin Army's crossbow array, causing tens of thousands of casualties. People, when they retreated to Yong County, there were only 31 of the 25 Han army left. Within half a month of the war, the Han army lost 10 people.

When Cao Tian left Yumi, Bai Qi withdrew from the encirclement circle of Yong County, led his troops back to the main road from Yong County to Mei County, and cut off the Han army's food road.
