Chapter 501: Jianshan Offensive and Defensive Battle

On the 10th day of the 24th year of Qianyuan, on the 10th day of the Shuzhong Road, Dengguo, outside Jianshan, the Deng and Qin armies launched a crazy offensive and defensive battle here. After Bai Qi, the chief general of the Qin army divided the troops, he transferred 30,000 troops from Hanzhong County. For several days, the Qin army launched a fierce attack on the Jianshan defense line of Deng's army. Although the Qin army's offensive was very fierce, tens of thousands of Deng troops, under the coordination of the chief general Li Jing, held their positions and took three times their enemy forces.

"Kill!" The Qin soldiers, led by a group of generals, launched a fierce attack on Jianshan again. This was the sixth day. In the sixth day, the Qin army launched a total of more than a dozen fierce attacks on Jianshan, but they all returned in vain. Instead, they suffered nearly 30,000 casualties. This made the Qin generals very distressed. The Qin country was weak and could not withstand such consumption, but judging by Bai Qi's posture, they did not stop at all.

Seeing such a fierce battle, countless Qin soldiers hated Jianshan. Even Bai Chen, who had always supported Bai Qi, was hesitant. He said to Bai Qi: "Taiwei, Jianshan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Tens of thousands of people in the Deng army cannot defend. In just a few days, our army has suffered tens of thousands of casualties. If this continues, it will be difficult to break Jianshan. Moreover, if the troops are too damaged, even if our army finally breaks Jianshan, it will be difficult to capture the entire Bashu. Please think twice."

This time the Qin army went south, except for the necessary troops to guard the place, the Qin State was a desperate bet. Normally, such a crazy move would not be agreed to, but Bai Qi was confident before the war and inserted a large number of internal supporters in Jiameng Pass in advance, which made the Qin army take down the Bashu portal of Jiameng Pass almost without any effort. It can be said that it was very smooth. As long as Li Jing's Tianwu Guard can defeat Li Jing's Tianwu Guard next, there was no other military force in the entire Bashu. However, what the Qin generals never expected was that Li Jing chose to retreat to Jianshan without hesitation, which made the Qin army's plan to quickly fight and decide. This made the Qin army's fierce battle against Jianshan.

Bai Qi mistakenly underestimated the terrain of Bashu and the strength of the Tianwu Guard, so that the Qin army is now in a dilemma. Not only is Jianshan difficult to conquer, but behind him, hundreds of thousands of Deng's reinforcements are rushing to Jianshan continuously. Even if Bai Qi sent a side division to seize Yufu City and Qunin City in advance, not to mention whether the Qin army can seize the city before the Deng army arrives. Even if facing a 100,000 Deng army, without reinforcements and logistics, how long can the side division divisions without logistics stop the Deng army?

Bai Qi stared at Jianshan with a serious face, feeling very bitter. He knew that it would be difficult for him to succeed this time, but he was unwilling to let him retreat like this. This is no longer a victory or defeat, but a common thing for military affairs. This time he entered Shu, Bai Qi could be said to have bet on his career. Once he succeeded, Bai Qi's prestige would rise again after destroying Han and defeating Zhao. At that time, even the King of Qin would not dare to act Bai Qi casually. But on the contrary, once Bai Qi failed and lost so many soldiers, Bai Qi would change from a hero to a sinner, and would inevitably recruit the King of Qin to liquidate. Even if he could save his life, if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably have no chance to rise again in his life, so Bai Qi did not want to, and did not dare to give up.

"No need to say more, brother should know what this entry into Sichuan means to you and me? If you fail, I believe your brother is also very clear about what kind of situation you and I will face. At this time, do you think you and me still have a way out?" Bai Qi said gritting his teeth.

Bai Chen was silent. He knew very well what Bai Qi meant. Their Bai family had been serving Qin since their ancestor Bai Qi. Although they were repeatedly valued, coincidentally, every generation of Bai family members were suspicious of the royal family and ended up miserably. This fate was like a nightmare and it was lingering. Now this bad luck has fallen on Bai Qi. It is precisely because of this that Bai Qi would do such a crazy move. As long as it succeeds, the Bai family will still be the top family in Qin.

"But Taiwei, if the troops are too damaged, how should our army deal with it when the Deng army reinforcements arrive? After all, the leader is Chang Yuchun, a famous general of Deng State, and the number of Deng soldiers is above 100,000." Bai Chen was silent for a while, and then said that at this time, he never dissuaded Bai Qi from such a suicide attack, but he wanted to know what Bai Qi would use to deal with the upcoming Chang Yuchun when his troops were damaged too much.

"What's wrong? Ma Sheng and others have occupied Qunin City or Yufu City. Although this cannot stop Chang Yuchun, it is impossible for Deng's army to destroy Ma Sheng's troops without losing half of their troops. When they come to Jianshan, their strength may not be stronger than our army. I don't take Chang Yuchun seriously, this Grand Marshal doesn't take it seriously." Bai Qi said a little crazy.

Bai Chen looked at Bai Qi who seemed to have never known him, and felt confused. At this moment, he finally understood that Ma Sheng's side troops had long been regarded as an abandoned son by Bai Qi. His purpose was to fight for the Deng army with 30,000 people in an attempt to consume the strength of Deng army. Is this still the Bai Qi he knew? Although Bai Qi could not have loved soldiers like his sons in the past, he would never give up one soldier easily. But now in order to delay Deng army's speed, he actually bet on the lives of 30,000 people.

Yes, Bai Qi's mentality is now unbalanced. Since his debut, Bai Qi has been smooth sailing, almost winning every battle. The only places that have not been captured are Bei Shangdang and Shangjun. However, at that time he faced Li Rubing, a famous general in Zhao State, and Zhao Xin, who is known as the world's number one general. Despite this, Bai Qi did not fight so badly. Although he failed to win Shangjun in the battle with Li Rubing, he also gained the upper hand. In the end, he withdrew his troops due to lack of strength. The same was true for the Northern Party. He fought with Zhao Xin and finally retreated because of his presumption.

But what about now? Facing the faction of Deng State, which has been established for only a few years, and has not even been on the real battlefield several times. There is also an unknown Li Jing. Not only has he failed to break the Deng army's defense line, but the scene is also at a disadvantage. How can Bai Qi, who has always been proud, accept it?

"Kill, let me resist it!" In Jianshan, Deng's general Luo Yi was commanding soldiers to kill the enemy. After six days of hard fighting, not only did the Qin army suffer heavy losses, but the Deng army was not easy. The soldiers of Tianwu Guard have been guarding Shuzhong Road since their establishment. There were almost no wars that they really participated in. Suddenly facing such a crazy Qin army, they were at a loss at the beginning. Fortunately, Li Jing's central dispatch and the command of the generals of Tianwu Guard, coupled with the steepness of Jianshan, blocked the Qin army's offensive, but more than 10,000 casualties were also injured and killed.

Luo Yi looked at the Qin army swarming in, his eyes were covered with blood. He was responsible for defending the first line of defense and blocking the Qin army's fierce attack, but the 10,000 elite troops under his command had almost been lost, which made Luo Yi very sad and angry. These were the elite soldiers he trained with. In addition to losing a part outside Jiameng Pass, almost all the rest were thrown in Jianshan. Before the war started, Li Jing handed him some of the troops of Li Siwen's troops, and now they are almost all here. In order to vent his anger, Luo Yi's long spear danced even more fiercely. Wherever the spear goes, there were several Qin soldiers drinking hatred. A group of Qin soldiers looked at the crazy Luo Yi, fearful and dared not move forward. It was precisely because of Luo Yi's crazy output that the Deng army finally repelled the Qin army's offensive again?

"General Luo!" When the Qin army retreated, Yang Lin came to Luo Yi and said, "General Luo, General Luo has an order to lead your troops to retreat, and I will take over here!" Seeing that Luo Yi's troops were almost exhausted, Li Jing made a quick decision to send Yang Lin to replace Luo Yi.

Luo Yi held the spear on the ground, bent down and panted, looked around, looked around, looked at the few remaining subordinates, and said with a smirk: "Our troops? Where did I get the main troops now? They are all dead! They are all dead! If I don't retreat, I will fight with the Qin army!"

Yang Lin looked at the corpses around him, sighed inwardly, and said, "General Luo, now is not the time to act irritating. You and your subordinates have been fighting hard for many days, and it is already at the end of their strength. How can we resist the Qin army? Go down quickly, I think you promise you will avenge you!"

Luo Yi just vented for a while, and he knew that even if he continued to stay here, it would not work, so he nodded, turned around and left without saying anything.

When Yang Lin took over Luo Yi's defense line, the scene where the Qin generals and Yang Luo, the two of them changed their defenses outside Jianshan, could be seen clearly.

When the Qin army retreated, Bai Qi could see that Luo Yi's troops were at the end of their strength. As long as they launched another fierce attack, they would definitely break through the defense line. However, at this time, Deng's army changed their defense and added new troops, which made Bai Qi's plan fail. Bai Qi gritted his teeth and stared at Deng's army on Jianshan.

"Taiwei, the Deng army has changed its defense. I'm afraid our army will find it difficult to break through the Deng army's defense line today. After a day of hard fighting, the soldiers are tired. Why not retreat for the time being and fight again next day?" Bai Chen saw that the Deng army had changed its defense and knew that his side had no chance, so he persuaded Bai Qi to withdraw.

Bai Qi was silent for a while, nodded, sighed, and said, "Send the order, and call the gold to withdraw the troops!"

With Bai Qi's order, the Qin army slowly retreated back to the camp.
