Chapter 1002: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Twenty-Six)

Bai Yucheng was very annoyed during this period. He was so angry that he was beaten because of the Chu army's cross-cutting. Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei teamed up to beat him back steadily. If he continued to retreat, he would have to fight. Go back to the Liuhao River and return to the state before the war. It seems that the Chu army and Tian Fucheng have joined forces, but I don’t know how the superiors will react to this new situation? What arrangements will be made? At this time, Bai Yucheng decided It is better for him to hold on to his current front. With his current strength, it is not a good idea to challenge the coalition forces of Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei.

"Son of a bitch, Chu Jun!" Bai Yucheng cursed fiercely again, kicked up a saddle in the tent, and landed with a clang in the corner.

"Who are you scolding Mr. Bai?" A clear voice came from outside, and a man immediately opened the curtain and entered. Seeing the person, Bai Yucheng was overjoyed, "Niu Teng, I finally want you back, come in quickly" , tell me what the king’s arrangements are for this country of Qi?”

He reached out and dragged a chair over, pushed the dusty Niu Teng down on the chair, leaned over and stared into his eyes, asking eagerly.

"Mr. Bai Hou, how could I go back and forth to Jicheng in such a short period of time? I only got to Kunzhou, where I met Meng Chong, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Group Army, and reported the situation here to him. Mr. Bai Hou, you also know , Commander Meng is mainly responsible for the Qi State."

"What did Meng Chong say?"

"Commander Meng guessed that the Chu people were afraid that they would intervene on a large scale in Qi's civil war, that is to say, they would send a large army into Qi. What Qu Wan did now was just because of your sudden attack, Mr. Bai. This is a response. Since the Chu people want to enter Qi State on a large scale to grab the fat in our mouths, we naturally can't give them a good look." Niu Teng said.

"What does Meng Chong mean?"

"Commander Meng will lead the Southern Group Army to launch a direct attack on Judu. In order to rescue Tian Fucheng, Qu Wan asked Bian Yang to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Linzi, forcing Tian Jingwen to return to the army, but Judu was also empty. He was too conceited. It’s too big. The main force is out and the reinforcements have not yet arrived. If we don’t take advantage of this big window, wouldn’t we be very sorry to God?”

"The entire Southern Field Army is dispatched?" Bai Yucheng clicked his tongue.

"If you don't move, you'll be fine. If you move, you will be swept away with the force of thunder." Niu Teng said with a smile: "These are Commander Meng's exact words. Commander Meng asked Mr. Bai to withdraw across Liuzhou when he attacks Judu. Go to the Haohe River."

"Huh?" Bai Yucheng frowned, "What's the point?"

"If Mr. Bai doesn't leave, how can Tian Fucheng have the courage to rescue Judu?" Niu Teng laughed, "The newly formed First Army has already begun to fight. They are guarding Jimo City and we can't fight them. But once they come out, it’s not a piece of cake to deal with them.”

"The Southern Group Army, the newly formed First Army, has more than 100,000 people in total. This time I will definitely have a good drink." Bai Yucheng laughed, "Okay, in that case, we will withdraw to Gaotang to recuperate. , and then march to Linzi. I am the Marquis of Gaotang of Qi State. If Linzi is in trouble, I should go to rescue it no matter what."

They both laughed together.

The attack and retreat of the Red Scarf Army seemed so without warning. By the time Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei came to their senses, most of the Red Scarf Army had already crossed the Liuhao River and walked away. They were confused and confused. , the two of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time. The combat effectiveness of this Red Scarf Army should not be underestimated. Their active withdrawal relieved Jimo of a big burden.

The peace between the two people did not last long. Under the command of Meng Chong, the Han Southern Group Army broke into Qi territory from Kunzhou with tens of thousands of troops. However, the target of their attack was not Jimo, but the territory controlled by the Chu army. Go to Judu.

Qu Wan had an army of 40,000, Bian Yang took away 30,000, and the remaining 10,000 were stationed in various places in Judu. The force was extremely weak. When the warning came, Qu Wan made a decisive decision and immediately abandoned all the outlying cities and mobilized all the troops he could. All the troops were concentrated in Jucheng. Ten thousand troops guarded Jucheng, which in Qu Wan's opinion was enough.

The large army being dispatched from Chu State will arrive by the end of October at the latest, and Bianyang's 30,000 troops may return at any time. Tian Jingwen is not a fool. The Han army invaded in a large scale and competed with the Chu army. Is there any reason not to be this fisherman?

On October 1, the first troops of the Southern Group Army of the Han Dynasty appeared in front of Jucheng. The high-flying yellow flags of the generals represented that they were the Huang Zhan division under Zheng Xiaoyang's command of the first army of the Southern Group Army.

The next day, Ding Wei Division and Gu Chao Division also arrived one after another. In the evening of that day, Zheng Xiaoyang's banner finally appeared under Jucheng. An army of 20,000 soldiers set up three camps outside the city. They didn't seem to mind. Busy with the attack, Qu Wan actually had time to build a fort outside the city with great fanfare. Seeing the actions of the Han army, Qu Wan couldn't help but frown deeply.

"What do they want to do? They have no intention of attacking the city, so their goal is not themselves." Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Qu Wan couldn't help but shudder. They might be tempting Bian Rang.

Once Bian Rang knew that he was trapped in Jucheng, he would desperately lead his troops to return for reinforcements, fearing that he would fall into the enemy's trap.

Qu Wan smiled coldly, "If you don't come to attack the city, I will come to tease you. I want to see what kind of powerful method the Han army, which is famous all over the world and has never been defeated, can do!"

The city gates were opened wide, and the cavalry led the way. Three thousand Chu troops filed out of the city, formed a formation below the city, and with the sound of war drums rumbling, they advanced towards the Han army camp not far away.

Huang Zhan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the scout's report, "Miaoji, what our Han army is best at is naturally field warfare. Haha, tell the brothers, we are going to make a profit. Beat the drums, blow the trumpets, and the whole army will leave the camp." , prepare to fight.”

The two armies collided without any fanfare. In an instant, the cry of killing resounded throughout the world. Qu Wan stood on the tower and stared coldly at the bloody battlefield. The other side only dispatched Division Huang Zhan, but Divisions Ding Wei and Peng Chao were taking a detour to the two wings, seemingly wanting to take the opportunity to attack the city wall.

The fighting power of the Han army was indeed extraordinary. Seeing that the numbers of both sides below the city were about the same, but their own army was gradually showing signs of weakness, Qu Wan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!" Qu Wan turned around and said to the messenger next to him.

Almost as soon as Ming Jin's order to withdraw his troops sounded in the city, Ming Jin's call to withdraw his troops also sounded in the Han army's camp. Huang Zhan chased him forward for more than ten steps, and finally retreated reluctantly. When he came back, he watched helplessly as the opponent retreated into the city. Ding Wei and Peng Chao, who were on both wings, did not receive orders, so they could only return in dismay.

After this battle, Qu Wan thought he had found out the details of the opponent. The Han army would never take the initiative to attack Ju City. Their purpose was just to lure Bian Rang's army to aid Ju City and set up an ambush to attack him halfway. How could Rang be so stupid? Qu Wan turned his head and looked in the direction of Jimo. If there was a supporting army in Jucheng, then Tian Fucheng of Jimo could be counted on.

When the Han army entered Qi State, the first one they attacked was not Tian Fucheng, but himself. Qu Wan was greatly surprised. It seemed that the generals of the Han army were also well aware of the battle to capture Qi State. The protagonist was no longer Either side of the Qi State, but the Chu and Han armies, whoever wins this war will own the Qi State.

"Why should I go to save Jucheng and Qu Wan?" Tian Fucheng sneered, "Did Qu Wan form an alliance with me? That was a naked humiliation to me. At that time, I had no choice but to compromise, but now I have regained my breath, but he is like a clay Buddha crossing the river and cannot save himself, so why should I go out and burn myself for him?"

Hearing Tian Fucheng's words, Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei were helpless, "Second Young Master, the Han army is going to attack Jucheng. If we don't rescue it and Jucheng is lost, where will the Han army's target be next? It must be us." Jimo, we have formed an alliance with Qu Wan, and we should work together at this time. Qu Wan's army attacked Linzi and was in a hurry to return. The Han army attacking Ju City amounted to 50,000 people. If we don't go to rescue, Ju City will be destroyed. The city is in danger."

"Everyone will be prosperous, and both will be harmed." Cheng Si said dangerously: "Second Young Master, please think twice."

Tian Fucheng stared at the two of them with some annoyance for a long time, "Since both of you said you want to rescue, then go ahead and rescue. Siwei, you lead your men down, but you must be careful and preserve your strength first. Yes. Only when we have soldiers and generals can we have a foundation. If we lose even this final capital, we will have no place to establish ourselves in the future."

"Don't worry, Second Young Master, I will act accordingly." Cheng Siwei bowed his head deeply to the ground, turned around and strode out.

Qu Wan of Jucheng once again guessed the enemy's plan wrong. He thought that the opponent would not attack Jucheng by force. However, starting from the third day after the arrival of the Han army, the siege began. He once thought that the other side of the Southern Group Army was setting up an ambush outside. Their troops also appeared under Jucheng. Even their coach Meng Chong also appeared openly under Jucheng.

With the arrival of Meng Chong, the intensity of the Han army's attack on Jucheng suddenly increased. Seeing the densely packed siege vehicles, Qu Wan's scalp felt numb.

He found that he could not keep up with the mental rhythm of the enemy generals. For a general in command, this was a very pessimistic thing. This shows that in the confrontation with the opponent, you cannot discern the opportunity and can only Always act as a back-up when trying to spot a move. If you are not careful, it can easily overturn the overall situation.

In this battle, Qu Wan was deeply impressed by the sharpness of the Han army's long-range attack weapons. He had the advantage of the height of the city wall, but the bed crossbow was still not as far and accurate as the opponent, let alone the opponent's On the car, there is a big guy who can shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows at one time. Every time he sees this guy firing, Qu Wan is always frightened. Wherever this kind of crossbow arrows pass, it usually clears the top of the city. Blockbuster.(To be continued)
