Chapter 209 The Death of the Han Army
Chapter 2: The Death of the Han Army
On the second day of October in the 15th year of Qianyuan, in the tent of the Han army in Yongxian County, Cao Tian summoned his generals to discuss the matter of breaking out of the siege. This time the breakout was a matter of life and death. Before leaving, he had already arranged the way to deal with the Han army, so Cao Tian must be fully prepared.

"Everyone, now that our army has reached the moment of life and death, we have to break through. Fortunately, Bai Qi has left the area of ​​Mei County. Now the commander of the Qin Army in the area of ​​Mei County is Wang Feng. This is a very good opportunity for us. Opportunity, so I decided that three days later, the army will go to Mei County to break through." Cao Tian said to the generals.

"Please show me, General Cao!" Everyone didn't say too much nonsense, but just let Cao Tian give the order.

Cao Tian nodded and said: "Three days later, our army will be divided into three groups. The first group consists of four generals, Cao Sheng, Cao Ying, Song Que, and Guanzhang. In the formation, the cavalry was behind, and when they approached the Qin army's position, they used the cavalry to break through the Qin army's crossbow array. The second batch, I personally led the Chinese army to escort the king, and after the cavalry broke through the crossbow array, they broke through the siege together. Xiahou Wuji The generals are responsible for protecting the king, the three generals Fan Lu, Liu Quan, and Zhou Bing are guarding the central army, and the third batch of the rear army led by the two generals Gu Sanfeng and Zhang Tong. After the Chinese army breaks out of the encirclement, I will send people to escort you and leave, I wonder if you have any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads. Cao Tian's plan was already very good. As for whether it can be accomplished, it depends on God's will, but at least there is still a glimmer of life, and it is better than staying here and waiting for death.

In the daytime three days later, the 10,000+ army of the Han Army had already assembled. It stands to reason that breaking out of the siege would be much easier at night than during the day, but the Qin Army's star-killing crossbow formations cover attacks indiscriminately. There is no difference, on the contrary, if you break out during the day, you can still have a certain chance of avoiding the overwhelming crossbow arrows.

At the same time, Bai Qi, who had already returned to Mei County, also noticed the change of the Han army. Bai Qi knew that the Han army was about to break through, so Bai Qi sent Wang Feng, Sheritu, Ma Sheng, and Ying Huai The four generals gathered together, and at the same time sent someone to notify Meng Zhan.

"Four generals, the Han army is about to break out of the siege. This battle is related to whether I can successfully enter the pass in the future. I have been preparing for so long, and I am waiting for this moment, so I hope you generals will do their best. In this battle, if the Han army can be completely wiped out, it would be good to capture the King of Han alive, but if not, we must eliminate the Han army's vital strength as much as possible, so as to save trouble for us, the great Qin lion, to fight in Guanzhong in the future." Bai Qi said, for this For the First World War, Bai Qi had been preparing for a long time, and he did not hesitate to pretend to be sick. Now it was finally the last moment. Bai Qi's goal was never the King of Han, because he knew that the King of Han must be protected by countless elite Han soldiers. It is difficult to catch him, so Bai Qi's goal is to consume the vitality of the Han army as much as possible. Besides, if there is no Han king, there will be another Han king. Only when the vitality of the Han army is wiped out is it possible The way to win.

"Please rest assured, General Bai, we will do our best to wipe out the Han army!" Everyone responded.

In the city of Yong County, the King of Han had packed up everything and was ready to break through, while Cao Tian and Xiahou Wuji were guarding the King of Han.

"General Cao, is everything ready?" Before boarding the king's car, the King of Han still worriedly asked Cao Tian if everything was ready.

Cao Tian smiled and nodded, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have prepared everything. The vanguard army will soon attack the Qin army's crossbow array. Once the crossbow array is broken, the Qin army will no longer be able to stop our army from breaking through."

Hearing what Cao Tian said, the King of Han nodded in reassurance, turned around and boarded the king's car.

After appeasing the King of Han, Cao Tian said to Xiahou Wuji: "General Xiahou, immediately send someone to notify Cao Ying and others, and order them to lead the swords, shields and cavalry to break through the Qin army's star-killing crossbow array. In addition, when breaking through, You must guard the king's side every step of the way, and you must not let the king suffer any damage."

"Here!" Xiahou Wuji replied.

Outside the city of Yong County, Cao Ying, Cao Sheng, Song Que, and Guanzhang had assembled all the swords and shields and most of the cavalry in the general, with a total of 8 soldiers. This was the first batch of soldiers and horses to break through Among the 8 people, there are [-] sword and shield soldiers and [-] cavalry. The sword and shield soldiers are commanded by Cao Ying, Cao Sheng, and Song Que, and the [-] cavalry is commanded by Guanzhang.

"Sword and shield soldiers, raise your shields and move forward!" Cao Ying gave an order, and fifty thousand sword and shield soldiers raised their shields in unison, and under the cover of the shields, they slowly advanced towards the Qin army's crossbow array.

"Crossbowmen prepare! Shoot!" In the Qin Army's crossbow formation, Qin Army General Ma Sheng saw that the Han army had entered the coverage of the Star Destroyer Crossbow Formation, and immediately ordered to shoot.

With one order, all arrows were fired, hitting the shields of the Han army continuously, making piercing noises. Although the Han army was protected by shields, there were still many casualties.

"Hold on, move forward steadily!" Cao Ying held a shield in his left hand and a plain knife in his right hand, knocking down the oncoming crossbow arrows to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

As the saying goes, generals will inevitably die in the battle. General Song Que of the Han Army, like Cao Ying, held a shield in one hand and shot down a crossbow arrow with the other. After piercing Song Que's head, Song Que lay on the ground, struggled for a while and then became silent.

"General Song!" Seeing Song Que's death, Cao Ying was very sad, but there was nothing he could do, because Qin Jun's crossbow arrows were overwhelming, and if he was not careful, he might follow in Song Que's footsteps, so Cao Ying had to careful.

After paying huge casualties, the Han army finally rushed out of the coverage of the star-killing crossbow formation. Cao Ying quickly ordered the sword and shield soldiers to disperse, and Guanzhang led the cavalry to charge over.

Seeing this, Ma Sheng quickly ordered someone to push the star destroyer back, and then led his troops to meet the Han cavalry.

And Cao Tian in Yongxian City, when he saw the overwhelming arrow rain disappeared, he knew that Cao Ying and others had already reached the Qin army's position, so he led the Chinese army to break through.

The central army of the Han army has 10 people. This is the most elite soldiers and horses of the Han army. Their task is to safely protect the king of Han to break through the encirclement.

When Cao Ying and others broke through Ma Sheng's line of defense, they were proud of themselves, but the cavalry led by Guanzhang stumbled suddenly, and many people fell off their horses. Cao Ying took a closer look, but found that there were many horse traps and tripping ropes. This was specially prepared by the Qin army for the cavalry of the Han army.

When the cavalry of the Han army fell off their horses because of the horse pit and stumbling rope, a large number of archers of the Qin army appeared on the surrounding hillsides, and they kept strangling the cavalry of the Han army. The cavalry of the Han army suffered heavy casualties immediately. Cao Ying saw this , Feeling bad, hurriedly took the sword and shield soldiers to kill, and rescued Guanzhang and a group of cavalry.

But at this time, there were less than [-] cavalrymen on horseback. At the same time, a large number of Qin troops had already killed them. Cao Ying and others gritted their teeth and led their troops to kill them. The two armies fought together.

On the other hand, after Cao Ying and others broke through the star-killing crossbow array, the [-] Han Chinese army led by Cao Tian finally came to the battlefield.

And when Cao Tian left, Yu Mi's Meng Zhan seized the opportunity to storm the tens of thousands of Han troops led by Gu Sanfeng and Zhang Tong after the breakup, and captured Yong County.

Gu Sanfeng and Zhang Tong couldn't do enough, so they could only fight and retreat, slowly approaching the Chinese army led by Cao Tian.

Bai Qi stood on the high slope in the distance, watching the bloody battle below, a ghostly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Okay, the game is over, raise the banner of this general, and tell Cao Tian, ​​this general here."

Cao Tian at the foot of the mountain also discovered Bai Qi's general flag, and finally knew that he had fallen into Bai Qi's trap, but at this time he had no way out, because Meng Zhan had captured Yong County, and now he could only He tried his best to break through, so he came to Xiahou Wuji's side and said: "General Xiahou, you take the king to fight out immediately, and this general will cover you."

"General Cao, what about you?" Xiahou Wuji asked.

Cao Tian smiled wryly and shook his head, and said: "This is a siege carefully arranged by Bai Qi. I can only take one step at a time, but the king must not make any mistakes. You must protect the king well."

"Don't worry, General Cao." Xia Hou Wuji was not a pedantic person either. He knew the situation was critical, so he obeyed Cao Tian's wishes and summoned thousands of elites to protect the King of Han and leave. Xiahou Wuji opened the way.

Regarding the departure of the King of Han, Bai Qi only stopped it a little, and didn't take it seriously. His current target is the main force of the Han army below. So far, both armies have suffered heavy casualties. There were 10,000 to 8 people, and the Qin army was not easy, with 5 to [-] casualties.

Cao Tian assembled the army and rushed forward, and the Qin army tried their best to stop it. In the end, it was Bai Qi who saw the heavy casualties and withdrew from the encirclement, and Cao Tian was able to successfully break through.

In this battle, the Qin army suffered 5 casualties, and more than 10 Han prisoners were captured alive. The Han army suffered 3 casualties and [-] were captured.
