Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 234, the end of the war

Compared with Wang Ben's inability to advance or retreat, Long Qi is desperate to survive. He either loses the mountain pass and all of them die without a place to bury him, or breaks out of the siege, but the latter is even more difficult due to terrain restrictions. There is one path to choose.

Long Qi chose to stick to the exit, leaving hope for the soldiers, so that they would not die. They had 10,000+ troops of food and grass in their hands, enough to support them for several months.

"I don't know what's going on with General Meng?" Wang Ben said in a deep voice.

If he wants to win now, he can only look at the situation on Mengwu's side. As long as Mengwu guards the exit and successfully ambushes the Chu army, allowing the army to occupy the two mountains, it is enough to take down the Chu army.Originally, Wang Ben sent a large army to press up and took down the mountain pass several times. The Longteng Army used fire to attack, and Long Qi used kerosene to ignite the grain trucks, relying on the terrain to prevent them from continuing to attack, and then took advantage of the superiority of the Chu army to regain the exit. .

Wang Ben had only 5 people under his command, and Xiang Yan left Fan Zeng with nearly 10 people. Long Qi could use his life to fill in the mountain pass, because that was the only way to survive, so the Chu army was not afraid of death, while the Qin army On the other side, Wang Ben's purpose was to block the exit and trap Long Qi to death here, so he gave up the high mountain that occupied the pass, and turned to surround the pass with all his strength.If it weren't for relying on the rain of strong bows and arrows, the Soaring Dragon Army might not be able to break out.

"Water and fire are ruthless. There is not enough water in Yixiantian to suppress the fire attack of the Dragon Army." Wang Ben said. Thinking of this, Wang Ben felt powerless. After returning, Wang Ben decided to study water attack. To avenge the Dragon Army's fire attack this time.

"There is no news from General Meng yet," said the lieutenant general.

"Now we can only wait. The road up the mountain at the entrance is being watched, so we can only wait for General Meng." Wang Ben said helplessly.

At this time, Long Qi had already seen the guards disguised as Xiang Yan, and had already known Fan Zeng's plan. Seeing the encirclement of the Qin army outside the mountain, he was also caught in a tangle. If he forced his way out now, there might not be much left of the Longteng Army.

"General Long, don't hesitate any longer. If the Qin army continues to move forward along the top of the mountain, we will be trapped and have only a dead end. Breaking through is the right way now." Fan Zeng's voice suddenly sounded.

"Mr. Fan, how is the general?" Long Qi asked.

"If you don't get medical treatment, the general will die here." Fan Zeng said shaking his head.

"Where's the military doctor?" Long Qi asked.

"I have consulted the military doctor. The arrow entered the body, only an inch away from the heart. They dare not pull it out rashly." Fan Zeng looked at Long Qi and said, "General Long, don't hesitate any longer. The Dragon Army has suffered heavy losses. If we can keep the fire and rebuild it, if the Qin army in the rear occupies the high ground, our 10,000+ army will be completely cut off."

Looking at Fan Zeng, Long Qi knew in his heart that they would die if they waited any longer. Long Qi took out a tiger talisman from his bosom, which was the tiger talisman of the Longteng Legion, and at the same time asked his subordinates to take the flag of the Longteng Legion.

"Mr. Fan, the future of the Dragon Legion is in your hands. This brother and I must appear at the time of breakthrough, so as to boost morale." Long Qi said.

"I see, General Long Qi is going well." Fan Zeng said with a salute.

Wang Ben was still waiting for Meng Wu's support, and his subordinates reported that the Chu army had opened the bunker at the mountain pass.

"The Chu army is going to fight to the death. The whole army is on alert. Where is Yufu's defenders?" Wang Ben asked. After being unable to attack for a long time, Wang Ben sent someone to Yufu to mobilize the defenders.

"Yufu's defenders are still ten miles away," said the lieutenant general.

"Let the whole army be on guard and ready to deal with the Chu army's charge at any time. I hope General Meng's support can be delivered as soon as possible." Wang Ben said.

The terrain is also a double-edged sword. They relied on the precipitous terrain of the sky to ambush the Chu army, and the terrain of the opposite sky also gave the Chu army time to breathe. They were so cautious that they left guards at the entrance. Although there were only a thousand people, they could temporarily block them by relying on the terrain, and they could not launch a large-scale attack.

At this time, Meng Wu was leading his soldiers along the mountain road to support Wang Ben. The valley had been blocked by rocks, and the rest of their soldiers were cleaning up to facilitate the army's attack from the rear.

"The siege of the Qin army is about to take shape. If we can't break through, we have only one dead end. There is still a chance to break through. If you are willing to break through with me and the general, follow me and charge towards the Qin army." Long Qi stood shouted in front of the remaining Chu army.

Xiang Yan, who was played by the guard, also stood up. After seeing Xiang Yan, the hesitant soldiers of the Chu army suddenly became resolute. They were willing to believe in Xiang Yan, and believed that Xiang Yan could lead them to break through.

"Breakout!!" The soldiers of the Chu army shouted.

The sound of breaking out echoed in the canyon and resounded through the sky. Wang Ben outside the valley and Meng Wu above naturally heard it too. , ready to fight to the death with the Chu army.

For a moment, the two sides were at war with each other, and with Long Qi's shout, they rushed out of the mountain first, with countless Chu soldiers behind them.

"Fire the arrows!!" Wang Ben shouted.

A collision between the rain of arrows and the flesh and blood began. The Chu army in front consumed the arrow rain of the Qin army with their lives. With the strength of the arrow rain, the Chu army could no longer be forced into the valley. Seeing the Chu army getting closer, Wang Ben could only order to abandon the bow and crossbow, and drew out his long sword to engage in close combat with the Chu army.

For a while, the entire entrance of the valley became a huge meat grinder. Because of the terrain constraints, neither side could engage in a large-scale battle. Only the soldiers in front died in battle, and the people behind immediately stepped up. Death is already the norm at this time. , everyone is already red-eyed.

At this time, the command of the commander-in-chief has expired. Everyone has only one goal to go forward and kill the people in front. People on both sides dare not retreat. Once they retreat, they will face death.

Because of the gap in numbers, when the Qin army was about to show its disadvantages, a large number of arrows rained down from the high mountains, and Mengwu's support arrived. At the same time, Yufu's defenders also came to the battlefield. The morale pressure of the taxi overwhelmed the desperate Chu army, and the battlefield began to fall in the direction of the Qin army.

Long Qi was still supporting and mobilizing all the soldiers that could be mobilized. At this moment, the sound of the Qin army rushing from behind the Chu army, the three Qin armies began to continuously compress the Chu army, and the lives of the Chu army soldiers died. is being harvested continuously.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Long Qi could only pray that Fan Zeng and Xiang Yan could break through safely, and then Long Qi drew his long sword and rushed towards the Qin army.

The sound of fighting lasted for a long time, until the sun had completely set, the sound of fighting in the canyon stopped, a large number of torches were lit, Wang Ben and Meng Wu, who were covered in blood, met, and both of them looked exhausted.

In this battle, nearly 2 people were killed or injured in the Qin army, and the entire 10,000+ army of the Chu army was wiped out. Both Ben and Meng Wu became Marquis in one fell swoop, but their expressions were not very good.

They took advantage of the right time, place and people, and exchanged the sacrifice of 2 people for the 10,000+ Chu army. This casualty exceeded their psychological estimates, but the matter was a foregone conclusion, and the two had nothing to say. The 2 people is just their rough estimate, and the specific number will not be known until the results of the battlefield cleaning come out.

"The mistake this time was my fault. I didn't seize the high ground of the entrance in the first place." Wang Ben said.

"We can't blame you entirely. We didn't expect Fan Zeng to be so cautious. The topography of Yiyitiantian is too complicated, and there is a gap at the exit. This gave Xiang Yan time to organize the army's retreat. Heaven is not as good as people." Meng Wu said.

It would be fine if the terrain of Yixiantian was the same as that of Maling Road back then, but the entrance and exit of Yixiantian are the same. The entrance is a hillside, and the exit is also a hillside.That's why Meng Wu, who was ambushing at the exit, could easily ambush Xiang Yan, and Wang Ben was also unable to seize the high ground immediately because of the hillside, giving the Chu army a chance to breathe.

"The casualties will be properly arranged in court, and then the general needs to report to Xianyang." Meng Wu patted Wang Ben on the shoulder and said.

It was the first time for Wang Ben to participate in a battle of this scale, and it was still in a situation where the right time, place and people were in harmony. Such casualties and the fact that he was almost broken out by the Chu army made Wang Ben, who had never experienced setbacks, feel frustrated for the first time in his heart. Some doubted himself, Meng Wu looked at Wang Ben with envy in his eyes.

If you want to become an excellent general, you cannot continue to grow without experiencing setbacks and failures. As long as Wang Ben passes this hurdle, he will have the opportunity to continue to rise in the future and squeeze into the level of the world's famous generals. This is a must for military strategy. As for Yang Duanhe and Li Xin, one of them is following the military situation, and the other is not clear about the path. So far, the only young and strong faction in the Qin army are Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben. The military strategy he followed is clear. As for his son Meng Tian's military strategy in the future, it's just that he hasn't shown it yet.

Wang Ben was not as complicated as Meng Wu thought. Apart from the hurdle in his heart, he wanted to read a book on military skills.Although military skills refer to the kind of people who use mechanical ingenuity to march and fight, military skills contain not only the use of equipment, but also the use of strategies and geography, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, feng shui fire, etc. It belongs to the school of soldier skills.

The clearing of the battlefield started with the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin army. The corpses of these soldiers were neatly arranged. Meng Wu and Wang Ben led the guards and waited aside. The other soldiers all went to rest. With the sound of the bell and the bright green light, Meng Wu and Wang Ben stood up straight.
