Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 199
It was also a coincidence that when Qin General Song Yang sent the good news that he had successfully surrendered to Ye County, Qin Jun's secret agent also sent news from Ji County, saying that after the young commander successfully landed in the small city of Luyang, only about [-] people were left behind. The side division guarding Jixian County and Luyang City, the main force marched into the Dajianshan alley, took the alley and marched directly to the hinterland of Nanyang. Lu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news. In addition to immediately getting the army to prepare for the expedition, he also hurriedly summoned the generals of the Qin army to discuss the attack Ji County's tactical plan to cut off the retreat of the main force of the Young Marshal's Army.

After the meeting started, first of all, of course, Lu Wei triumphantly announced his plan of feigning surrender to the public, so that everyone in the Qin army knew that the reason why the young commander took the risk of taking the small road to advance was all due to his clever plan, and all the generals in the Qin army were also very happy. , while desperately complimenting Lu Yu's clever plan, while scrambling to be the first to be the vanguard, first to block the exit of the mountain road for Lu Yu.

Although he has not been on the battlefield for more than ten years, the former middle-level general of the Qin Army, Lu Jue, has quite a few tactical arrangements. In order to ensure control of the dangerous mountain road, Lu Jue decided to divide the northward army into two teams. Running lightly, he was responsible for taking control of the exit of the mountain road. The main force carried military supplies, food and grass, and was responsible for dealing with the troops left behind by the young commander in Ji County and Luyang, and then assisted the front team to completely block the exit of the mountain road.In addition, Lu Wei arranged for Nanyang County Wei Qiu'an to lead an army to reinforce the southern exit of the Dajianshan Trail, and to be in charge of the battle on the southern front.

With Lu Yu's arrangement, the pressure on the front team on the northern line is of course the greatest. On the way to quickly attack and control the dangerous mountain road, it is very likely that they will be intercepted and obstructed by the young commander's army. As long as there is a little carelessness, all previous efforts may be wasted.But it’s okay, Lu Yu still has a trump card in his hand. In order to prevent the anti-Qin Yishi from entering the pass from Wuguan, the Great Qin Dynasty not only strictly fortified the Wuguan area, but also sent the captain Ma Dayan to lead the five thousand pass elites. Reinforce Nanyang and obey the orders of Lu Jue. This army is not only well-equipped, but also all young and strong Qin people. They are extremely powerful and absolutely loyal and reliable. Therefore, Lu Jue did not have any hesitation, and immediately rushed to the mountain road. The important task of export was handed over to this Guanzhong Qin army.

Ma Dayan, who was eager to make meritorious service, also accepted this arduous task without hesitation. In order to buy time, after hastily preparing for the attack, the Guanzhong Qin Army under Ma Dayan only carried five days of dry food and set off in the afternoon of the same day Going north, I rushed to Kunyang with light clothes, but I rushed to the city of Kunyang that night, and continued westward in the early morning of the next day, and arrived at the city of Ji County in just over a day.

On some battlefields, the troops were already at a disadvantage. Only the Jixian Young Marshal Army, which was guarded by a thousand-man team, dared not fight, and obediently closed the city to defend it. Passing around the city, he quickly rushed to the entrance of the Dajianshan trail in the southeastern suburb of Luyang, but what made Ma Dayan angry was that when it was completely dark, when he led his army to the intersection of the mountain road, Luyang's young marshal had already arrived. He directly gave up the small town of Luyang, moved his army to the outcrop of the mountain road and set up a camp to protect the retreat of the main force of the young marshal's army.

It was too dark and the army was quite exhausted. Ma Dayan didn't dare to launch an attack overnight. He just let the army set up camp to rest, and at the same time sent people to inquire about the situation of the young commander's army. That's how he knew that he led the army to stay in Ji County and Luyang It was Zhong Limei, the general of the Young Marshal Army, but because Zhong Limei had previously sealed off the mountain road crossing, none of the people in Luyang knew where the main force of the Young Marshal Army had gone south and how far it was from the mountain road crossing.

"We have to make a quick decision. We must seize the intersection before the main force of the bandit army reacts. Otherwise, not only will our previous efforts be wasted, but the bandit army may turn the situation around and fall into a passive position."

After reaching this conclusion, Ma Dayan led the Guanzhong Qin Army to the intersection of the mountain road at dawn the next morning, preparing to attack the camp of the Young Marshal Army, but it was still near the camp of the Young Marshal Army during the daytime. It was only then that Ma Dayan was extremely dumbfounded to discover that the camp built by the Young Marshal Army at the intersection of the mountain road was actually very strong, with trenches, walls, antlers, horses and other fortifications all available, and a sheep fence was built between the trench and the camp fence. The horse wall is so strong that it is daunting.

Fighting opportunities are rare, and no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to give up here. Forced to do so, after hastily preparing some offensive weapons, Ma Dayan still bite the bullet and urged the army to launch a frontal assault on the intersection camp of the Young Marshal Army. Under the command of Zhong Limei, he rose up to fight, relying on the fortifications of the camp to start a desperate battle with the soldiers of the Qin army.

One side made a frontal attack at any cost, while the other side had to defend its position at all costs. Of course, this battle was extremely cruel and bloody. The rain of arrows from the Young Marshal took turns to forcibly attack the fortifications. The dense feather arrows kept coming and going in the sky. The Qin army's offensive was also undulating like the waves of the sea. The first team was still fighting fiercely in the trenches and the sheep and horse walls. Suddenly, the second team rushed forward, like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting the defensive position of the Young Marshal's army, splashing blood and flesh all over the sky, and burst into earth-shattering shouts of killing one after another.

The Qin army in Guanzhong was really good at fighting. Just relying on some improvised moats, they broke through the moats of the Young Marshal's guard camp many times, rushed to the outside of the sheep and horse wall, and filled many sections with earth, stone and firewood on the same day. The trenches forcibly seized the defense line of the sheep and horse wall of the Young Marshal Army, forcing the soldiers of the Young Marshal Army to retreat to the fence defense line in an all-round way. During the fierce battle, the generals of the Qin Army took the lead to boost morale. Two to five hundred commanders, twelve hundred generals, the madness of the offensive is staggering.

Fortunately, the actual combat experience of the soldiers of the Young Commander is higher than that of the Guanzhong Qin Army, which has not fought in more than ten years. The Qin army broke through the fence line of defense, did not allow the Qin army to make a new breakthrough, and caused far more casualties to the Guanzhong Qin army than the own army in the fierce battle, and successfully persisted until it was completely dark.

After the sky was completely dark, the physical strength of the Qin army in Guanzhong declined significantly after the long-distance attack, and the offensive was greatly weakened. Ma Dalina also had to withdraw his troops and withdraw the army to let the soldiers rest overnight.However, in the evening of that day, Lu Yu sent someone to get in touch with Ma Dayan to inquire about the progress of Ma Dayan's attack. He also said that the main force of the Nanyang Qin Army had successfully arrived in Kunyang at noon today and would definitely arrive within tomorrow. Ji County.Ma Dayan, who didn't even take the intersection, felt ashamed, and sent troops to attack the camp again in the early morning of the next day, determined to take the intersection position before the main force arrived no matter what the price was.

The battle on the second day made Ma Dalin angry and helpless. It stands to reason that after yesterday's fierce battle, the young commander's army, which also suffered a lot of casualties, should have declined in combat effectiveness. However, in the newly launched offensive and defensive battle, The soldiers of the Young Marshal not only continued to firmly hold the camp defense line, but also fought more tenaciously and fiercely than yesterday. They did not give the Qin army any chance to break the camp from morning to night, and caused even greater casualties to the Qin army in Guanzhong. The casualties in the battle were close to [-].

In the evening of the same day, Lu Yu sent someone to contact Ma Dayan again, saying that the main force of the Qin army had arrived at the city of Ji County, and Ma Dayan, who still hadn't taken the position at the intersection, felt increasingly guilty and annoyed. Attacking the camp overnight, the generals under his command hurriedly stopped him, and tried his best to persuade Ma Dalin not to play games with the lives of the soldiers, and it would not be too late to continue attacking the camp after resting all night until the main force arrived, so Ma Dalin, who was already a little frustrated, withdrew his order and withdrew. The army, whose physical strength was seriously weakened, retreated to the city of Luyang to rest.

This rest ruined the food. It was the middle of the night. When the exhausted generals of the Qin Army were sleeping soundly, a despicable and vicious team of young commanders suddenly touched outside the Qin Army camp. He rang the gong first to call the police, but the exhausted generals of the Qin Army still failed to get up and respond immediately. The soldiers of the Young Marshal easily rushed into the camp of the Qin Army like a pack of hungry wolves, and captured the Qin army who was still standing up and wearing armor. The army soldiers killed corpses all over the ground, and there was a complete chaos.

Relying on the long-term rigorous training, in the scuffle, Ma Dalin hastily organized a team, trying to counter-attack the enemy who retreated from the camp, but the young commander who killed them overnight was obviously a new force, and everyone had sufficient physical strength The equipment was not too bad, and he just defeated Ma Dalin's team head-on, completely shattering the Qin army's hope of counterattack.

What made Ma Dayan and the generals of the Qin Army even more frightened was still behind them. After their camp was completely disrupted, another young commander army was killed in the dark night, and they followed the former army into the Qin Army camp. They were even more vicious and cruel Slaughtering the generals and soldiers of the Qin army, which was already in chaos, the Qin army in Guanzhong also collapsed soon, scrambling to escape from the camp, Ma Dahlin also quickly grabbed a horse, and led some soldiers to roll and crawl under the cover of night Flee to Ji County.

After fleeing to the city of Ji County in embarrassment, Ma Dayan found the camp of the main force of the Qin army at the first time, and also saw the yawning Lu Yu before dawn. When he was defeated and the number of the enemy's troops was up, Ma Damen went to ask about three unknowns. Lu Yu was so angry that he couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing for food? I don't know how many enemies there are. Where is it?" I don’t know who came, and I don’t know the identity of the enemy, it’s a waste to this extent, it’s a shame that you still have the face to come back alive!”

"Sin deserves death!"

Feeling completely ashamed, Ma Dayan could only pull out the sword at his waist, and the horizontal sword was about to kill himself. Fortunately, Lu Wei's confidant Chen Hui caught him in time, and while persuading him, he said quickly : "Jun Zun, General Ma is the captain sent by the imperial court. If he makes any mistakes, it will definitely affect our army's morale."

After saying that, Chen Hui kept winking at Lu Wei, who understood what Chen Hui meant, and knew that if he killed Ma Dayan, it would be difficult to explain to the Qin court in the future, so he had no choice but to persuade him: "General Ma, I have something to say. It’s easy to say, the old man was just impulsive and said some exaggerated words, don’t take it to heart, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, if you accidentally lose today, you can just avenge yourself later.”

In any case, Lu Wei finally persuaded Ma Dayan to put down his sword, and asked someone to take him down to rest, and then Lu Wei asked Chen Hui very strangely: "Why did Ma Dayan lose so strangely? Our scout's secret agent It has long been found out that Xiang Kang's rebels only left [-] troops to guard Ji County, and now we have another [-] surrounded by us in Ji County, how could there be such ample troops to attack Ma Dayan's camp?"

"Junzun, forgive the villain for speaking bluntly, this time we may have fallen into the trick of Xiang Kang's rebel to lure the snake out of the hole." Chen Hui said with a serious tone: "If the villain's prediction is not bad, the main force of the bandit army must be It is not far from the exit of the mountain road, so they can have such ample troops to attack General Ma's camp."

"What?" Lu Wei was taken aback, and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't we be very dangerous? We have a total strength of only [-] troops on the northern front, and Ma Dalin's [-] troops have already been defeated. How could the remaining troops be thieves? The opponent of the main army?"

Chen Hui nodded helplessly, acknowledging that his army had fallen into a dangerous situation, while Lu Yu's face turned green and pale, and after a little calculation, he shouted: "Hurry up, send someone to the mountain road crossing to check the situation, and then send an order to the whole army , Get ready to pull out the camp and retreat!"

The cruel fact was unfortunately guessed by Chen Hui. When the sky was bright, the scout Pegasus of the Qin army who went to investigate the enemy's situation reported back, saying that the main force of the young commander's army was indeed walking out of the endless mountain road, and it was already in the open area outside the mountain road intersection. An army of no less than [-] was assembled everywhere. Lu Yu was shocked when he heard the report. Apart from cursing Xiang Kang's shameless treachery, he hurriedly roared: "Quick, pull out the camp and retreat immediately! Withdraw back to Ye County!"

"Junzun, we can't waste any more time pulling out the camp." Chen Hui hurriedly said: "We should abandon the camp and retreat, and some unnecessary luggage can also be given up directly, otherwise, we will be easily overtaken by the bandits."

After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Wei gritted his teeth and accepted Chen Hui's suggestion, and instead ordered the army to abandon the camp and all unnecessary supplies, and retreat lightly for their lives. As a result, after the order was issued, the Qin army in Nanyang was of course panicked Throwing down the tents and luggage to assemble, just as the army was assembled, they immediately retreated to the way they came under the leadership of Lu Yu.But what made the Nanyang Qin army complain was that when they saw them retreat, the young general army in Ji County immediately went out of the city to pursue them, and forcibly pursued the Qin army with a weak force that was less than [-]% of the Qin army.

In the end, relying on the hard work of the army behind the palace, the main force of the Qin army successfully got rid of the pursuit of the young marshal of Ji County, but the Qin army did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and still kept walking, retreating towards Kunyang at full speed At the same time, Lu Jun, who cared about his own life, rushed to the front of the team, and at the same time dispatched a fast horse to make preparations for Xu Wei, the governor of Yingchuan who stayed behind in Kunyang.

The pursuit speed of the main force of the young commander's army was also very fast. In the afternoon of the same day, the main force of the Qin army retreating lightly had just seen the Kunyang tower from a distance, and the main force of the young commander's army led by Xiang Kang had already caught up with the rear of the Qin army. Lu Yu made a decisive decision and ordered the rear team to fight to the rear, and continued to flee eastward with the main force. At the same time, the Kunyang Qin army also hurried out of the city and came to meet them under the leadership of Xu Wei.

"Xu Juncheng, please reinforce the old man's rear team and cover the old man's retreat to the important area of ​​Ye County!"

After meeting with Xu Wei, he left these words behind. Lu Yu immediately led the main force of the Qin army to continue southward, and withdrew to Ye County as quickly as possible, ignoring the battle situation in the rear. He only let the army rest for two hours that night, and then Immediately, he continued to go south overnight, and the speed of escape was so fast that the rabbits being chased by hungry wolves were amazed.

The hard work of the soldiers of the Qin Army and Lu Yu was not in vain. When the sky was twilight, the Nanyang Qin Army was only about [-] miles away from Ye County. Although Lu Yu still didn't let the army stop to rest, he felt much more at ease. , and quite proudly said to Chen Hui: "That traitor Xiang Kang would never have imagined that the old man would withdraw so quickly, and he didn't even have much rest at night. If there is no accident, our main force can be kept."

"Junzun, you must not be careless." Chen Hui did not dare to be as optimistic as Lu Yu, and said: "I heard that during the Battle of Pingyu, Xiang Yan, the eldest father of Xiang Kang's rebel, chased our Daqin army three times in a row. He stayed up all day and night and killed the Daqin army by surprise. If Xiang Kang's son imitates his eldest father, we are still in danger of being caught up by him."

"Da da da da da!"

"Kill!"

Chen Hui's crow's mouth was very sharp. Before he finished speaking, the sound of horseshoes and shouts of killing came from behind Qin Jun. A cavalry with the banner of the Young Marshal rushed straight forward. Surprised, he hurriedly ordered the rear team to form a formation to intercept on the spot, but before the exhausted Qin Army rear team formed a battle formation, the young commander's cavalry rushed to the front and directly disrupted the Qin Army rear team's formation.At the same time, more flags of the Young Marshal's Army also appeared on the road to the north. Obviously, the main force had already approached. I only hate my parents for giving me two missing legs.

No matter how desperately you run, it's useless. When the distance from Ye County was about ten miles away, the main force of the young commander's army still managed to catch up with the main force of the Qin army. The Young Marshal Army decisively launched a strong attack, with red eyes trying to defeat the main force of the Qin Army in the field.

At this time, the gap in combat effectiveness between the Young Marshal Army and the Nanyang Qin Army was also reflected. The physical strength was also severely reduced, and they were also panting and exhausted. The offensive was fierce, but the Nanyang Qin Army, who was originally from bandits, was obviously not suitable for such a large-scale decisive battle. The right wing was quickly overwhelmed by the young commander's army, and then the left wing was also torn to pieces by the powerful offensive of the young commander's army. After the collapse of the two wings, the psychological Affected on the ground, the Qin Army's middle army, which was barely thick, also quickly loosened its position. A gap was forcibly torn out by the soldiers of the Young Marshal Army, and then quickly collapsed.

The Qin army, which collapsed across the board, completely collapsed. The generals and soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and fled all over the mountains and plains. Lu Yu was also forced to abandon the commander-in-chief flag and give up command, so as not to become the main target of the young commander-in-chief, but the young commander-in-chief still pursued closely Reluctant to give up, Leng pursued directly to the city of Ye County, forcing the Qin Army in Ye County to close the city gate, and completely shattered the chance of the Qin Army to regroup under the city of Ye County. The county continued to flee south, and was forced to abandon the important town of Ye County, which could have been held for a long time.

After fleeing south across Ye County for a certain distance, when he looked back and saw the solid fortifications that his own army had worked so hard to build outside Ye County, Lu Yu suddenly felt remorseful, and couldn't help but screamed: "Stealing chickens doesn't cost you a lot of rice! Stealing chickens Don’t lose money! If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t be greedy to wipe out the bandit army, and should stick to Ye County with all my strength! If I stick to Ye County with all my strength, even if I still can’t stop the bandit army in the end, I can at least win the battle in Ye County. Destroy the teeth of the thief army!"
