Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 151 The Household Slave with the Five Surnames

Chapter 156

These people are brave warriors who are not afraid of death, even as opponents, Xie Ai respects their courage.

But it was because of respect that Xie Ai was willing to give them a decent way to die as a soldier.

Xie Ai shouted coldly: "Rush up and destroy them!"

Zhang Hao led the cavalry of the Liang army to gallop wildly, and rushed towards the remnants of the Wei army. At this time, the remnants of the Wei army's navy had no crossbow machine to restrain the cavalry.

There are no horse pits and horse refusal guns, some are just a mouthful of blood, and some are just fighting to the death!

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

The remnants of the Wei State Navy resolutely took firm steps and launched a near-suicidal charge against the Liang Army cavalry.

The eight thousand cavalry of the Liang Kingdom fought against the infantry of the Wei army with less than a thousand soldiers.

Although the Liang army was victorious, Xie Ai was not at all excited. The result of this disparity in power was unsatisfactory. The Liang army cavalry killed more than [-] people and injured hundreds.

Xie Aiyin felt very heavy.

After this battle, Xie Ai also realized that he underestimated the Wei army. If the Wei army had a general commanding it and had enough troops and equipment, the result of the battle might not be like this.

Immediately, Xie Ai conceived another poisonous plan, to deal with Ran Ming, he let the troops march into Zhengxian County.

At this time, after another big quarrel in Chang'an, Fu Jian finally unified the opinions of Qin's civil and military courtiers and concentrated his forces to retake Tongguan.

Fu Jian ordered General Jianwei Deng Qiang to be the chief general of the North Route Army, to lead General Wuwei Wang Jian, and generals Guo General and Zhai Seo to lead [-] troops to attack Tongguan from the north along Pucheng and Dali from Baishui.

After the South Route, the general Yang Chengshi was the leader, and the left general Mao Song led the South Route Army with [-] troops from Lantian Daying, and set out to copy Ranming's rear route through Shangluo, Danfeng, and Shangnan.

On the other hand, Fu Jian led dozens of Western Qin generals including Lu Polou, Qiu Teng, and Qiangde, and [-] soldiers and horses set off from Chang'an to Zheng County, preparing to join Xie Ai and Qin Liang to recapture Tongguan. .

According to Fu Jian's imperial decree, the general of the Northern Route Army sent Wang Zhuo to lead [-] cavalry as the forward of the Northern Route Army.

However, Fu Jian could be regarded as being unkind to others. Wang Zhuo was originally a general of Zhao Xizhong. Ran Min surrendered to Ran Min when he established the Wei Kingdom, and was named General Anxi by Ran Min and stationed in Qinlong.

In the parallel history, Ran Min was defeated, so he took refuge in Qianyan and was appointed Governor of Yizhou.As a result, he was defeated by Fu Jian and surrendered to Qianliang.Later cast in the former Qin Dynasty, he was another famous slave with five surnames besides Lu Hu during the period of Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Chameleon.

In this time and space, due to the appearance of Ran Ming, the Yan State did not unify the north as it did in the parallel history, and was embarrassed by the Wei State as a result.

Instead, he had no intention of surrendering to Yan, and became Feng Yi's prefect of Qin.Now Fu Jian ordered him to be the forward of the Northern Route Army. In fact, he also understood that this was Fu Jian's opportunity to weaken his military power.

Therefore, Wang Zhuo took advantage of the speed of his cavalry, directly after Baishui, and rushed to Tongguan at full speed.After Wang Zhuo's troops crossed the Wei River, they surrendered directly to Ran Ming regardless of the taboo of military strategists.

Ran Ming was very happy when he received the news, but Ran Ming's knowledge of history was not good, so he didn't know that Wang Zhuo's character was too bad, he could be compared with Shi Yousan.Just as Ran Ming was delighted to have added five thousand cavalry for himself, at this moment, the battle report of the Wei Army Navy Division in Zheng County also came into Ran Ming's hands.

It seems that one-third of the Wei army's warships and two thousand soldiers were killed, and Ran Ming's joy of getting Wang Zhuo's refuge was dispelled without a trace.

Ran Ming angrily threw the battle report on the ground, stepped on his feet again and roared to the west: "If you don't kill Xie Ai, you will not be able to get rid of the hatred in your heart!"

Among the five Northern Dynasties, Yan, Wei, Qin, and Liang, Wei State has an unrivaled advantage, that is, Wei State has a well-organized naval force.

Ran Ming paid special attention to the sea. When he was in Qingzhou, he ordered Xie Fei, the former water supervisor of Zhaodu, to build large warships.Ran Ming even gave Jie Fei the blueprint of his five-tooth warship.

In order to manufacture warships, Ran Ming gave one-third of his income to the shipyard, and he especially valued the sailors.All of a sudden, the Wei Guo Navy lost more than one-third, and Ran Ming almost went berserk.

The main worrying minister died, but Yang Hui did his part.Hearing that Ran Ming raised his head to the sky and yelled to kill Xie Ai.

He said: "Your Highness, it is not easy to cut Xie Ai off, but if it hurts one part, it is feasible!"

"The plan will come out!"

Yang Hui thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Xie Ai's subordinates are all cavalry, which are stronger than field battles, but weaker than attacking fortifications. Your Highness can order the Yangpu Department of the Thieves to garrison Huayin, and they will not be able to defend it. Naturally, Xie Ai will not let him The cavalry abandoned their horses and took part in the siege. If His Highness then sends a large number of reinforcements and carries a large amount of food and grass from Tongguan to Huayin, what does His Highness think will happen to Xie Ai?"

Ran Ming couldn't help blurting out, "He will definitely send people to attack Gu's reinforcements and cut off the connection between Gu and Huayin."

Having said that, Ran Ming suddenly realized.

Huayin City, the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, the junction of the three provinces of Qin, Jin and Henan.

It is under the jurisdiction of Hongnong County.Yang Pu led more than a thousand rebellious soldiers to prepare to meet the Changshui army to break out of the siege, but he had just arrived in Huayin City, the county magistrate Zhu Xian was from the Hongnong Yang clan, and the Yang family had already taken refuge in Ran Ming.

He didn't say anything else, and directly surrendered the city.Of course, there is nothing he can do if he does not surrender. Huayin County is only 120 miles away from Tongguan, so there is no garrison in Huayin County, only more than 1000 patrol soldiers.These patrol soldiers are obviously enough to defend Huayin County, which has a population of less than [-] households, but it is obviously not enough to resist Yangpu's more than [-] elite troops.

After Yang Pu recruited [-] patrolmen from Huayin County and confiscated [-] shi of grain from the treasury of Huayin County, before he had time to set off, he received the news that the entire naval army was wiped out.

Yang Pu was dumbfounded. He was still more than 60 miles away from Zheng County, but there was no one to rescue. Could it be that his more than 1000 infantry were expected to fight desperately with Xie Ai's [-] cavalry.

Fortunately, there is still a scholar around Yangpu who can discuss with him. After all, Zhu Xian surrendered voluntarily.

Yang Pu tried to ask: "Mr. Min Yi (Zhu Xian's nickname), what should we do now?"

Zhu Xian bowed slightly, with a very low attitude.This has something to do with Zhu Xian's background. He studied in the Yang clan, and after completing his studies, he was recommended by Yang Ji as the county magistrate.He is relatively loyal to Yang.However, Yang Pu's surname was Yang, and Zhu Xian thought that Yang Pu was a descendant of Hongnong Yang's family.

In fact, he didn't know that Yang Pu and Hongnong Yang's family couldn't match each other.

Zhu Xian smiled slightly and said, "Marquis Yang, we are facing a new defeat and our strength has been greatly weakened. What we need now is to stabilize the situation, not resort to war. So Min Yi thought that Captain Yang should go to His Highness King Chu and ask for the next step. Instructions. At the same time, we must immediately shrink our forces, strengthen the Huayin city wall, and be prepared to defend Huayin to the death!"

at the same time.Located sixty miles away from Huayin County, in the large tent of Liangjun in Zhengxian County, a large flag with the word Xie fluttered in the cold wind. Under the flagpole, Xie Ai looked at Tongguan in the south with complicated eyes.

He reckoned that Ran Ming should have received the news that Wei Guochang's navy had been annihilated at this time. As a bloody general with a new generation of invincible God of War in Wei, if Ran Ming didn't take countermeasures, he should not be Ran Ming. clear.

What Xie Ai is very interested in is, what countermeasures will he adopt, is he going to use all his forces to fight him decisively?
Xie Ai's dead soldier team has already proven Ran Ming's strength. He only has [-] elite trump card begging bandits in his hand, but this army has only been formed for half a year. It is considered a new army, but it is such a new army , has repeatedly created myths on the battlefield.A surprise attack on Hangu Pass cut off the retreat of Fu Luo's army. Longtan Valley burned more than [-] Qin troops, and then captured Xiongguan Tongguan at a very small price.

As for the Luozhou Army in Ran Ming's hands, Xie Ai really didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, the Luozhou Army was simply a mob.

"General, urgent report from Tongguan!" The messenger said respectfully to Xie Ai.

Xie Ai nodded slowly, and took the secret letter from the messenger. This letter was only a piece of paper, on which was written "Spring rains startle the spring and clear the valley sky, summer is full of mang and summer heat is connected... This is just a song of 24 solar terms.

Xie Ai's principle of secrecy is usually to use double secrecy methods. One is to use alum water. Anyone who has studied chemistry should know the properties of alum. The handwriting written by alum cannot be read after drying.

If you want to know what characters are written, you can only put the paper in water.The second is the "Yin Talisman" written by alum water.Even if a careful enemy finds out that this is a secret letter written in alum water, the "Yin Talisman" does not have the original code, so they don't know what it means.

The so-called "Yin Talisman" is actually the earliest military code in ancient China.When using, both parties hold half of it to verify the authenticity.Yin symbols vary in length and represent corresponding information.There is no text on it, even if the enemy captures it, it cannot be deciphered.

Xie Ai asked someone to bring a basin of clear water. He put the letter in the water, and the Yinfu code began to appear.Xie Ai quickly recorded the content.Find the original code and translate the content of the secret letter.

The members of the death squad who had entered Tongguan reported: "The reinforcements of the Wei army have left Tongguan. The reinforcements of the Wei army are led by Chen Yong, the captain of the first battalion of the Luozhou Army, and Liu Ke, the captain of the third battalion, as the deputy general. Four thousand shi of grain, divided into more than 150 carriages, [-] ballista carts, and more than [-] ballista carts. The whole army has more than [-] people."

Xie Ai was quite confident in his slayer, he smiled slightly, and said to the messenger: "Send to Vice General Zhang that the fish has already taken the bait, tell him that he can do it cheaply!"

Tongguan City.

Ran Ming said to Yang Hui in the commander-in-chief's mansion, the head of the Wei family who had just defected to Ran Ming, Han Qun who had changed his ancestral surname, and Wang Zhuo and others: "Now everyone, go out to watch a play with Gu!"

Ran Ming and a group of hundreds of people left the commander's mansion and came to the west city of Tongguan, a few hundred steps away from the west city gate.

Ran Ming stopped, then nodded at Jing Zhan and said, "The action begins!"
