Chapter 97 Accident 2
After Baiban left Chudi with more than 20,000 people, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He passed from Sishui County to Dang County and arrived at Hanoi County. Then he learned that someone was attacking Shangdang County. The current prefect of Hanoi County
He also had some friendship with Bai Ban, and after learning that he was defeated in Chudi, he suggested that he should perform meritorious service and help the Shangdang County guard repel the troops led by Meng Tian.
"Is it Fusu's general Meng Tian who led his troops to attack my Shangdang party?" Bai Ban asked.
"Yes, this time they suddenly attacked our counties in Daqin in a large scale. I don't know what they want to do. This is really a good time for you, general, to make a contribution." Dong Lu, the governor of Hanoi, persuaded.
"Since he is Fusu's subordinate, I must go and meet him. Last time in Shangjun, he defeated me with his city and trickery. This time I will return the defeat to them." The day shift said bitterly. So he
He led more than 20,000 Qin troops who had fled from Chu to leave Hanoi County and went straight to Shangdang.
When he rushed to Shangdang, he happened to see the Qin army and Meng Tian's army fighting. He stood at a high place and saw clearly that the Qin army was cut into two pieces by the enemy and could not take care of each other, so he led his army to attack Meng Tian.
The Qin army launched an attack from the rear. This Qin army had no fighting spirit, but Bai Ban said that as long as they defeated Meng Tian's army this time, their merits and demerits would be equalized after returning to Xianyang, so they took out their last courage and rushed forward.
.
Meng Tian never dreamed that the rear would be attacked, and he didn't know what to do when he was attacked. He had to detach the troops who were encircling Wang Li and rush to the rear to resist the incoming Qin army. But he didn't know that there were enemies coming.
How much, and he was determined to win this army of ten thousand people, so he only sent five thousand people to fight. This time he made a big mistake. Five thousand versus twenty thousand, the strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all, and they only blocked
Not long after arriving at Baiban, the five thousand men and horses were defeated. Baiban led his troops into the encirclement arranged by Meng Tian, allowing Wang Li's more than 2,000 men to be saved.
Due to the unexpected appearance of 20,000 men, Meng Tian's army panicked for a moment. The men and horses originally guarding the front also showed their flaws. So Wang Li's army coming from Shangdang also broke through the encirclement and fought with Wang Li.
Li's men and horses gathered together, and for a while the Qin soldiers overwhelmed Meng Tian's army in number and momentum.
After all, Meng Tian was a famous general in hundreds of battles. When he saw that the momentum was not good for him, he decisively ordered a retreat. Fortunately, the Qin armies on both sides had not yet formed a tacit understanding at this time, allowing Meng Tian's army to take advantage of it.
Ten thousand people retreated for more than fifty miles before finally getting rid of the Qin army's pursuit.
Looking at the injured soldiers, Meng Tian sighed and said: "I never expected that our army would encounter another group of Qin soldiers. This time Shangdang cannot capture it. I hope the prince has arrived in Xianyang, so that our sacrifices will not be in vain."
Wang Li and Bai Ban met after repelling Meng Tian and returning to Shangdang. They had met Zhang Han before, and they were naturally very happy to see each other again. "General Wang, I didn't expect to see him this time.
You." The day shift smiled.
"I never imagined that if General Bai hadn't led troops to rescue me, Wang Li and I would have died at the hands of the rebels. Wang Li would like to thank General Bai for the rescue." Wang Li said and saluted with his hands in hand.
"General Wang is so polite. I feel ashamed to say that I only came to join the party for my own sake." Bai Ban told the story of his defeat in Chu and how he came to help after listening to the words of Dong Lu, the prefect of Hanoi.
.
"Perhaps this is God's will. General Bai, I know you are also a brave and resourceful person, but now I have a doubt in my heart that I still can't solve. Please discuss it with me." After saying this, Wang Li saw himself
Meng Tian spoke out about his strange performance in attacking Shangdang this time, "What on earth did you say that he led the troops just in front of Shangdang City?"
"What you said is indeed suspicious. I feel like he is just holding you back and doesn't really want to capture Shangdang." Bai Ban analyzed.
Wang Li clapped his hands suddenly and said: "What General Bai said is true. He probably wants to drag our army into Shangdang, so he is just a bait. They still have real killers. I don't know where their real target is."
?”
"When I looked at Meng Tian's army today, I always felt that something was missing. Do you feel the same way?"
"Is there something missing?" Wang Li thought carefully and suddenly said: "Cavalry, the reason why our army was able to break into it today is because our army has cavalry and chariots but Meng Tian's army does not."
"Cavalry," Bai Shi said with a hint of panic in his eyes, "it seems they have gathered all the cavalry. Is their target Xianyang City?"
"What do you mean by this? Xianyang City is behind us. Could Meng Tian's cavalry fly over us?"
"They can go around from the north. Although that road is not easy to walk, it is a road without passes. This can explain why Meng Tian dragged you here."
"Then we will lead our troops back to Xianyang immediately. If they really capture Xianyang, everything will be over." Wang Li stood up and was about to lead his troops back to Xianyang.
"No, General Wang, this is just our speculation. If we are wrong, once we lead the troops back to Xianyang, the Shangdang will become Meng Tian's bag. For the current plan, I am the only one who can lead the troops.
How about rushing to Xianyang City but continuing to defend Shangdang County?"
"Okay, then you can set off quickly." Wang Li said, not daring to delay.
So the day shift left 20,000 wounded and exhausted troops in Shangdang, and took 30,000 troops stationed in Shangdang and rushed to Xianyang at night.
Legan led his remaining 20,000 cavalry to march on the edge of the Great Wall. He really didn't dare to step too far in. Because he still remembered the Qin army he had encountered a few years ago.
His tribe was still on the edge of the Great Wall. At that time, when they wanted some daily necessities and food, they would send thousands of people across the Great Wall to rob them. But then they met a general named Meng Tian.
Under his leadership, the Qin soldiers rushed into his own team like wild beasts. Moreover, these beasts were more numerous than his own and their weapons were better than his own. So his tribe was driven into the depths of the grassland by them.
. Later, he felt that it was when he was most successful that his tribe of 20,000 to 30,000 people actually grew into over 100,000 people and more than 50,000 soldiers, who could rival Touman on the grasslands at that time.
Higher and lower.
Later, he heard that Touman had been killed by his son. When he thought that the guy named Moton was about to be destroyed by him, he actually led an army to attack his tribe. After several battles,
, Legan found that he was no match for the man named Mao Dun, because not only were his soldiers brave and brave, but he also had tricks that no one else on the grassland had. After he fell into the opponent's tricks several times in a row,
Legane became afraid of him, and this fear soon spread to every soldier, and finally he had to flee with his entire clan.
After more than half a year of running away, the number of his men is getting smaller and smaller, and the people who originally relied on him have begun to abandon him. Now he only has 20,000 cavalry left. If he can't find another place to plunder,
He was afraid that these 20,000 people would also leave him because of hunger. So he took the risk and came to the Great Wall to find a place where he could plunder. But in his heart, he still had a deep feeling for the Qin army that defeated him.
They were afraid, so they didn't dare to go too far, and there was no town here for them to rob.
"It seems I'd better take them to find some small tribes on the grassland to plunder some things." Legang thought as he tried his best to look far away, hoping to see the towns or even villages he wanted, but
What caught his eyes was a large group of people. This group of people looked like they were all warriors, but they did not look like the Qin soldiers he was afraid of, because their flags were not the ones he was familiar with. At this time, the people on the opposite side looked like they were soldiers.
The large group of people also discovered them, and they immediately set up their formation and prepared to fight.
Legane looked at the opponent's men and horses who were more numerous than himself, and then at the faces of his soldiers who were eager for food and living utensils, and decisively issued the order to attack. He just hoped that this army would not be too powerful.
My own people can no longer withstand too much damage.
Fusu set out from Beidi County after learning that Meng Tian had begun to attack several northern counties of Qin. However, what he didn't expect was that there were many mountain roads along the way, so it became a trouble for the cavalry.
On that mountain road, Fusu asked the brigade to march along the Great Wall towards Xianyang just to be on the safe side.
Looking at the majestic Great Wall, Fusu felt like he had returned to modern times. Just when he thought he would reach Xianyang soon, tens of thousands of people wearing animal skins and holding stone and bone weapons appeared at the edge of the Great Wall.
When the Huns saw it, Fusu hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, prepare to fight! The chariots surround the outside to block the enemy's charge!" So they immediately set up a battle formation, preparing to fight these Huns.
Sure enough, after a moment's hesitation, the Huns urged their horses to run towards them. They waved the stone knives, bone knives and other weapons in their hands while shouting. This situation was indeed very powerful.
. Some soldiers had never fought with the Huns before, and they felt a little timid when they saw the fierceness of the enemy.
Han Xin also came to Fusu and said to Fusu: "Prince, our crossbows have a farther range than the Huns' bows and arrows. We can use the crossbows to disrupt their charging formation first, and then send out troops to fight them head-on."
Fusu immediately accepted his advice. During this long-distance attack on Xianyang, nearly a thousand people had powerful crossbows. They immediately loaded the crossbows with arrows and waited for the Huns to rush into the range of the crossbows.
Soon, the Huns' cavalry came within the shooting range. With Fusu's "Shoot!" nearly a thousand crossbow arrows went straight towards them. After a period of "wu", the Huns' cavalry at the front fell.
Hundreds of knights dismounted, but the knights behind were not blocked by their fallen comrades. They jumped over these corpses with riding skills that amazed Fusu and others, and continued to charge forward. At the same time, they already had weapons in their hands.
