At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 176, Qi Di Fenghuo and Feng Jie retreated

At this time, Li Shiqi spoke up and said: "There is a heroic man named Peng Yue in Juyeze, Xue County, King of Han. He has 3 rebels under his command, but he can enforce orders and prohibitions. He has strict military discipline and is deeply loved by the local people. He is also very popular among the local people. He has repeatedly defeated the Qin army in Qi, and recently he defeated a 5000-man Qin army. His combat effectiveness is also rare among the rebels."

"The most important thing is that most of Peng Yue's army are naval troops. The soldiers know the nature of water well. If the king of Han can absorb Peng Yue's rebel army and let it go north to attack Julu County and Qi, the Qin army can be cut off. Food and grass. I am willing to be a lobbyist and go to Juyeze to persuade Peng Yue to become a general under the King of Han."

Peng Yue knew that the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty were the unlucky ones who were chopped into pieces by Liu Bang, but he was very capable of fighting guerrilla warfare. Although he did not defeat Xiang Yu on the frontal battlefield, he defeated Xiang Yu many times. He was a famous general in the late Qin Dynasty. Among them, there is also an existence that can be ranked in the top five.

The most important thing is that Peng Yue's behavior is very much to Xu Fan's liking. Once other rebels are arrogant, they become a disaster to the local area. However, after the uprising, Peng Yue was able to restrain his subordinates and prevent them from doing evil. This is very important in troubled times. Precious, at least his moral bottom line is much higher than others.

Speaking of which, due to the influence of the Qin people's enclosure in Qi, Peng Yue originally developed well in the second half of history. Because a large number of Qi people fled to Juyeze and became Peng Yue's subordinates, Peng Yue's military strength expanded rapidly. Now it has There are 3 soldiers, and all of them are soldiers who have a deep hatred for the Qin people. They dare not defend themselves against others, but they can exert several times their combat effectiveness against the Qin people.

"Then you go on a mission to Xue County, and you tell Peng Yue that as long as he joins the Han army, I will make him the general of the ship."

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Li Shiqi said happily.

There are only a dozen generals in the entire Han Kingdom. The conditions given by Xu Fan were so good that he was not afraid that he would not be able to convince Peng Yue.

And when Xu Fan and the others wanted to annihilate the Northern Xinjiang Army. His opponent Meng Tian is also thinking of ways to solve the predicament at this time, and even eliminate the coalition forces.

"The pseudo-Han king Xu Fan is indeed unusually rebellious. The Han army is so powerful that it is as powerful as the Zhao State back then." Meng Tian couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Han was surprised: "Qidi is actually so dangerous?"

Zhang Han pondered for a moment and said: "The only way to win is by surprise. The only advantage our army has over the rebels is that the various armies can be twisted into a rope and can cooperate with each other on various battlefields. But the rebels are doing their own thing, even Zhang Han Er, Tian Heng, Xiang Liang and others may not be convinced by the false king of Han, so this gives us an opportunity to concentrate our superior forces and defeat the enemy one by one."

After hearing this, Meng Tian was thinking in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he said: "It is not difficult to mobilize the army. The difficult thing is how to mobilize these 5 troops without anyone noticing. If Xiang Liang knew, If he counterattacks and defends you, the battle situation will fall into a stalemate again."

Zhang Han said: "The last general wanted to lead the cavalry to gallop to support Qi, but General Feng Jie took the initiative to retreat. He retreated all the way from Langya County near Linzi County. The two armies turned around and defeated Xiang Liang's army in one battle. If Xiang Liang was not fooled, then Xiang Liangbu can only be defeated head-on.

Meng Tian reluctantly handed this letter to Zhang Han.

"What do Vice General Zhang think?" Meng Tian was also worried about this matter. He originally thought that his Northern Xinjiang Army could rely on its strong combat power to sweep through all the rebel armies. Who knew that an alien like Xu Fan would appear? How elite is the army in his hands? It's actually not much worse than his own Northern Xinjiang Army.

His situation at this time was very similar to the situation Li Xin encountered back then, which gave Meng Tian a bad feeling. Could he be defeated this time too?

"General, a letter from Linzi County Governor!" a guard reported.

But not giving up these territories will completely collapse the situation in Qi. At that time, it will be impossible for Qi to support the two armies with food and grass. My elder brother's 30 Northern Xinjiang Army and Feng Jie's troops It will also collapse due to the loss of food and grass. Meng Yi, who knows the heavy responsibility, can only ask his elder brother for help.

He only had less than 5 troops in his hands, but he wanted to suppress the beacon fire in Qi. However, Tian Heng was attacking cities and territories everywhere like a madman. Recently, Peng Yue appeared and defeated his 5000 soldiers. Now the Qin army in his hands is no longer At 4 people, it was almost impossible to suppress the Qi Di situation.

Then Zhang Han regretfully said: "The rebels are stronger than we imagined. Now we don't have enough troops and strength to cross the Yellow River and realize the strategy we originally formulated to sweep away the rebels."

Zhang Han stared at the map for a long time, his brain running wildly, trying to find a way to solve the current predicament. After half a day, he said: "General, now we are sitting in Jianchou City. We can't get through to Hanoi County. If we continue to go south, we can't break through the Yellow River defense line. We need food and grass." Crisis is always following us. If the rebels attack Julu and threaten our army's food routes, the consequences will be disastrous. Our army cannot sit still and wait for death, and must break the current situation."

Meng Tian opened his second brother's letter and saw a problem that troubled him the most, the problem of food and grass. His second brother also hoped that he would deal with the rebels on the south bank of the Yellow River as soon as possible. The food and grass in Qidi could only last for 3 months at most. After three months, the enemy had not been defeated. Even if he made the people of Qi eat dirt, they could not find food. At the end, Meng Yi also hoped that Meng Tian would support tens of thousands of troops in Qi to suppress the rebellion.

Zhang Han immediately understood that their situation was extremely bad. Although there was no problem with food and grass in a short period of time, the Qi region was also captured by the rebels. Their Northern Xinjiang Army and Feng Jie's army would all be destroyed. At this time, the Qin State had less With an army of 50, Zhang Han shuddered when he thought about the consequences. This was a disaster.

But in the battles with the Han army in the past few days, his Northern Xinjiang army did not gain any advantage. They could not defeat the Han army head-on. Today, they suffered a huge rout. If it were not for the limited scope of influence of a Han army opera troupe, He couldn't imagine what it would be like if the whole army watched "Alive".

Meng Yi, who is in Linzi, is not aware of his eldest brother's predicament at this time. In Meng Yi's view, his eldest brother has the most elite 30 Northern Xinjiang troops in the Qin Dynasty. It is not easy to defeat the 20 rebels. Instead, he has to lead the troops. Feng Jie, who had men, and Xiang Liang, a rebel general, were in a stalemate in Langya County, but they made him suffer.

Meng Yi has abandoned many remote small counties in Qi and concentrated his troops in the big cities in Qi. However, Meng Yi also knows that this is drinking poison to quench his thirst. The abandoned counties will allow Tian Heng and other rebels to gain more territory and territory. Population will make them more powerful.

After the destruction of Zhao, the Qin army has not encountered an opponent of comparable strength for many years. Even the military strength of the Chu State was far inferior to that of the Qin State. After removing the big stone of the Zhao State, the Qin State unified the world. It is overwhelming.

Zhang Han pointed to Baima County and said: "There are 20 rebels opposite us. Judging from the fighting in the past few days, the elite level of the rebels is catching up with our Northern Xinjiang Army. It is difficult to defeat them in a short time. There are 5 rebels near Sanchuan County. The rebel general Ying has 3 troops, and the rebel general Zhang He has 8 troops in Hanoi County. With these troops blocked near Aocang, it is almost impossible for our army to open up the food channel."

"Now our army faces Zhang Er's tribe, Tian Hengchen's remaining tribe, Pengyue's tribe, and Xiang Liang's tribe. Among them, Zhang'er's tribe is firmly defending Handan and will be difficult to conquer in a short time. Tian Heng's remaining Chen's tribe and Pengyue's tribe have few troops and are wandering around. They are fickle and difficult to catch, and they are not the core of this war. It is difficult to reverse the situation of the war if they are defeated. Only Xiang Liang is strong enough to withstand the attack of nearly 10 troops by General Feng Jie, but they are incomparable. The puppet Han king's troops are powerful and can resist our Northern Xinjiang army's attack, and my subordinates believe that Xiang Liang is the key to breaking the deadlock for our army."

"General, if our army secretly mobilizes troops to join the command of General Feng Jie in Qi, we only need 5 elites to have a chance to defeat the Liang tribe in one battle. Without this army, our Qin army will have hundreds of thousands in Qi. The army can directly enter the Central Plains battlefield, so that our army will have 40 troops to besiege, and the puppet Han Dynasty will have 20 troops, and the advantage on the battlefield will be reversed instantly."

His current situation is extremely bad. General Qin was used to fighting overwhelming battles. It was very rare that he encountered a shortage of food and grass and could not defeat the enemy with his own strength. That is to say, the situation in the battle that Li Xin experienced was similar to his, and that The outcome of the first battle was not good. Qin's 20-strong army was defeated by Xiang Yan, and more than half of the soldiers were lost.

General Feng Jie has 5 troops on the Langya battlefield. The last general will bring another 15 troops there, and the total strength will exceed 50. He can defeat Xiang Liang by taking the initiative to attack. Even if the casualties are larger, it is still bearable. If the stalemate continues like this If we go down, the -strong army in Kanto will be in danger. If the food and grass are cut off, our army will not be able to do it even if it wants to risk its life. "

After thinking for a long time, Meng Tian found that this was indeed the only way to solve the army's current predicament, so Meng Tian said: "I will write a letter to General Feng Jie now and ask him to cooperate with you."

June 37, the 6th year of the First Emperor's reign, Ju County.

The city walls were piled with the corpses of soldiers from both sides. The flag of the Qin army was still flying in the air. Even if the flag was broken, it was erected on the wall of Ju County according to the scriptures.

Beginning in May, Feng Jie led 8 Qin troops to resist outside Ju County. After stationing in the main camp, the two sides formed a rivalry. The siege of Ju County ended, and the battlefield turned into a battle between Xiang Liang and Feng Liang. The battle between the tribes of tribulation.

The two armies fought extremely fiercely, and soldiers from both sides fought fiercely every day. Soldiers from both sides were thrown into the battlefield like fuel, and then disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pool of blood to show the existence of the soldiers.

This brutal battle lasted for a month, and both sides paid a heavy price of tens of thousands of casualties. Perhaps the fighting was too intense in the first month, which depleted the morale of both sides. From the second month on, both sides reduced their direct casualties. In the hand-to-hand combat, the confrontation time became longer, and both sides entered a war of attrition.

The main tent of the Qin army.

Feng Jie sits high in the head coach's position. He has a high nose and deep eyes, heroic eyes, and an iron-blooded expression. Because of the experience of fighting in recent years, his body is a little thin, but he still has a military bearing. Under the black armor and white cloak, his figure looked even more tall and majestic.

Feng Jie got Meng Tian's letter, and then looked at the map and pondered. Now not only did Meng Tian need to change the battlefield situation, Meng Yi also urged him to find a way to defeat the enemy. He also needed changes here, and Meng Tian's plan was very feasible. , he agreed immediately. So he sent Tan Ma to Ju County and ordered the Ju County garrison Zhao Hong to abandon the city and lead the army to fight.

Tugen in Juxian City burst into tears when he heard that it was finally possible to retreat. He finally survived. This was what he was thinking at this time.

Shitou immediately covered Tugen's mouth and said: "You don't want your life. You cried like this and caused a commotion in the army. I was worried that the general would kill you directly for the crime of Xiaoying. Finally, you were not killed by the enemy, but you died directly in the hands of the supervisor. At that time, you kid had no place to cry out for injustice."

Although the other soldiers of the Qin Army did not want to cry as much as Tugen did, they were still very excited. They did not understand the situation on the battlefield and thought they were lucky to come out alive.

The main tent of the Qin army.

Zhao Hong found Feng Jie and said, "General, why are you leaving Ju County? We can still fight."

Feng Jie showed him Meng Tian's letter and said: "Today's retreat is to break the deadlock. The strength of this group of rebels has indeed exceeded my expectations. If the fight continues, it will be difficult for our army to resist."

How could it be possible for Qi Di to provide food and grass for the Qi Army's 50-strong army? If they hadn't massacred a group of Qi Di's powerful men and obtained a large amount of food and grass, the Qin Army would have collapsed long ago. Now, Meng Yi's force has wiped out the entire Qi Land, and the sky is three feet high, and he can barely maintain these two armies.

But the consequence of such a conquest was to force the entire Qi people to rebel. Now the people of Qi hate the Qin people to the bone, the nobles and powerful people also hate the Qin people to the bone, and even the Ergouzi who surrendered to the Qin people hate the Qin people. People hated them to the core. Ergouzi sought refuge with the Qin people because they wanted to get a piece of bone, but now Meng Yi killed them to eat their meat. The whole world is talking about the current state of Qidi. This is an enhanced version of Qin. The end of troubled times.

Therefore, Meng Yi could not rely on 4 Qin troops to suppress the entire 800 million Qi people. This was simply impossible. He could only keep writing letters to his eldest brother Hui Feng Jie, telling them about the plight of Qi. Let them defeat the enemy on the opposite side, or find a way to retreat to Linzi, which will save thousands of miles of food roads and save hundreds of thousands of civilians.

After Zhao Hong's tribe and Feng Jie's tribe merged, Feng Jie began to break out of camp and slowly withdraw from Langya County.

"Inform the general, the Qin army is retreating!"

Xiang Liang looked stunned. They had been fighting the Qin army for more than a month, and neither side could do anything. Now the Qin army's actions surprised him. After all, the Qin army showed no signs of retreat.

Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Bo, wanting to get some useful information from him.

But Xiang Bo shook his head. He couldn't understand why Feng Jie did this.

Xiang Yu was overjoyed and said: "Uncle, this is really a God-given opportunity. Our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue it, defeat Feng Jie's troops, and capture Qi's territory."

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "Don't chase after poor aggressors, not to mention that Feng Jie's tribe still has extremely strong combat effectiveness. The Qin army may want to ambush us and change the strategic situation. The general will send more detective horses to inquire about the surrounding situation. Don't be fooled." He caught the Qin army’s scheme.”

If something went wrong, there must be a demon, so Fan Zeng immediately objected to risking the pursuit of the Qin army.

Xiang Liang thought for a while and said, "I'll wait until I go out and have a look!"

The Qin army retreated extremely fast. When Xiang Liang's army discovered that they were retreating, the Qin army was already 30 miles away from Ju County.

Xiang Liang was accompanied by Xiang Bo, Fan Zeng, Chu Heng, Long Qie and other generals. In front of Feng Jie's camp, the land outside the Qin army's camp was covered with pools of dried blood. The strong smell of blood made people dizzy. ,unbearable.

The Qin army's camp was extremely complete. A large number of Juma, Luzhai, archery towers, and outposts were set up outside the camp. Several deep and wide trenches were dug within 200 steps of the camp, and a large number of archers were deployed above these trenches. , Xiang Liang led his army several times to break through the camp, but found nothing except the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers.

But now that the camp he had stormed for more than a month was placed in front of him, Xiang Liang was not happy at this time, but worried like Fan Zeng. He was even afraid that the Qin army would come out from some darkness. .

But Xiang Yu did not have as many concerns as Xiang Liang. He had long wanted to demolish the camp, and he immediately led his soldiers into the Qin army's camp.

"Yu'er, don't mess around!" Xiang Liang wanted to stop Xiang Yu's recklessness, but it was too late.

After Xiang Yu galloped around the camp on his horse, he said to Xiang Liang: "The Qin army has really evacuated. This camp is empty except for some equipment that cannot be taken away."

Only then did Xiang Liang enter. As expected, it was an empty camp. Everything useful had been taken away by the Qin army. Only some wooden buildings remained here.

Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng and wanted Fan Zeng's advice.

Fan Zeng thought for a long time and smiled bitterly: "Feng Jie retreated so quickly, even a little panicked. I can only think of two reasons. One is that Feng Jie lacked food and grass and had to retreat."

Xiang Bo said: "That shouldn't be the case. Feng Jie has the support of the entire Qidi. Even if we run out of food and grass, they can't possibly run out of food and grass?"

Fan Zeng said: "General, don't forget that the Han army's northern expedition to Qin did not occupy Sanchuan County, but it cut off the connection between the Qin army and Aocang. Meng Tian's 30-strong army could only rely on Qi to support him. Meng Yi suddenly had more troops. There are 30 soldiers to support, and even if Qi Land is rich, it cannot support such a large army."

Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement.

Chu Heng continued to ask: "What is the second reason?"

Fan Zeng said: "The King of Han defeated Meng Tian's 30 Northern Xinjiang Army!"

Xiang Liang said in astonishment: "It is too difficult even for the King of Han to do this."

He has a deep understanding of the fighting power of the Qin army. There are only 8 Qin troops in front of him, but he just can't defeat him. If it weren't for his nephew Xiang Yu's bravery, he resisted the Qin army's many fierce attacks, and killed the Qin army's generals many times, leaving Feng Jie had some scruples, fearing that his 13 troops would be defeated by the Qin army.

But now the King of Han is facing the 30 Northern Xinjiang Army with more powerful combat power. Xiang Liang estimates that it will be ten times more difficult for the King of Han to defeat Meng Tian's tribe than it is for him.
