Chapter 73: Huishan ambush

There is a Huishan Mountain between Qi County and Guangqi. The road at the foot of the mountain is the only way to Guangqi. Han Qing led a large army to ambush on the mountain. In order to complete the ambush mission well, Han Qing divided the army into three teams. Wu Lie led a team to ambush in front of the mountain and cut off the retreat route of the Zhao army. One team led by Tai Shiwei was ambush behind the mountain. When Han Qing's main force was entangled with the Zhao army, he quickly joined the battlefield. Han Qing, Huangfu Rong, and Shangguan Qingyang led the main force to ambush in the mountain. When the Zhao army entered the ambush circle, they rushed out.

Han Qing stood at the highest point of Huishan. Fortunately, Huishan was lush with grass and trees, which provided good hidden conditions for the Han Qing army.

"Marson, according to the spy's return, Sima Chong has led a large army to leave Qi County and headed towards Guangqi. Now it is only two days away from Huishan." Huangfu Rong walked to Han Qing and told him the news of Sima Chong's army.

Han Qing nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that Sima Chong did not realize that this was the general's plan to lure the enemy into depth. General Huangfu, please tell the soldiers to keep hidden. In addition, prepare more huge rocks, rolling wood, and tincture oil on the mountain."

"Here!" Huangfu Rong replied.

Two days later, Sima Chong led a large army to arrive as scheduled. Sima Chong was also very careful and arranged for scouts to explore the way along the way, but Han Qing was very careful and did not let the scouts discover anything.

Without finding an ambush, Sima Chong continued to move forward with confidence and soon entered the range of Huishan.

"General, Huishan is ahead. After passing Huishan, you can reach Guangqi in another two days." Sima Chong's deputy general Zhang He said to Sima Chong.

Sima Chong nodded. For some reason, he was always a little uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen, but he didn't know what was going to happen.

Sima Chong looked at Huishan in front and found that the grass and trees were lush and the jungle was dense, so he felt even more uneasy. So he said to Zhang He: "Zhang He, have you sent a scout to Huishan to investigate? I will see that Huishan is a good place for ambushing, don't capsize in the gutter."

Zhang He said: "General, don't worry, General, the last general has sent people to investigate the terrain nearby, and there are no ambush at all." Zhang He felt that Sima Chong was a little worried. From Qi County to Guangqi, the most suitable place for ambushing was Huishan. How could he not send people to investigate? However, all the news from scouts reported that there was no enemy figure in Huishan at all.

Although Zhang He was very sure that Huishan was not ambushed, Sima Chong was still very worried, so he said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of if I want to pass the order. Everyone should move forward carefully and send a team of people to explore the way."

Although Zhang He was not interested in Sima Chong's caution, he still did it.

Han Qing on Huishan saw only a small team of Zhao troops coming in, frowned and said, "This Sima Chong is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. He is so cautious and pass on the orders to let this team go, and let Wu Lie and the others be careful and don't be discovered."

"Yes, Marshal."

After the Zhao army's pioneer team passed through Huishan safely, Sima Chong felt relieved and ordered the army to continue moving forward. Soon, the Zhao army entered Han Qing's ambush circle.

As soon as he walked in, Sima Chong felt something was wrong. It was too quiet here, so he shouted: "Zhang He, pass the order and evacuate Huishan quickly!"

"General, what's wrong?" Zhang He was confused. What's wrong? The army has already walked halfway and is about to walk out of Huishan. Why did he suddenly say he wants to retreat?

"Don't ask so much, just listen to this general, hurry up and send the order." Sima Chong didn't have time to explain so much, he was sick from the wild.

"Here!" Although Zhang He was very dissatisfied, Sima Chong was the leader of the army, so he had no choice but to obey Sima Chong's orders.

Han Qing on the mountain saw that the Zhao army wanted to retreat, so he quickly ordered an attack.

"Ah!" Countless huge rocks and rolling woods on the mountain attacked the Zhao army, and the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties.

"If there is an ambush, retreat quickly!" Sima Chong was shocked and hurriedly commanded the army to retreat, but it was too late. After the huge rocks and wood rolled, there was a rain of arrows. Then a large number of Qi troops rushed out. Zhao's army was caught off guard, and many people were defeated by Qi's army without time to resist.

Huangfu Rong and Shangguan Qingyang rushed out and fought with the Zhao army. Sima Chong recognized that these two were both generals of the Qi army and knew that they had fallen this time, so he ordered the army to rush backwards without hesitation, intending to break through the siege.

But how could Han Qing let him do what he wanted? When the Zhao army retreated to the mountain pass, Wu Lie led his troops out, and the Zhao army was stunned. What was going on? Soon, the Zhao army was killed by Wu Lie again. After the Zhao army retreated to the original place, Tai Shiwei came behind him. For a moment, the Zhao army was trapped in a heavy siege.

When Sima Chong saw Wu Lie coming, he felt a chill in his heart. He knew that something was wrong. Wu Lie, Huangfu Rong, Shangguan Qingyang, and Taishiwei were all generals of the Qi army. They could send them out all of them. There was only one person in the entire Eastern Army, that is, the commander of the Eastern Army, Han Qing, the first general of Qi. Thinking of this, Sima Chong couldn't help but look up at the mountain. Sure enough, Han Qing's flag fluttered in the wind on the mountain, which looked particularly dazzling.

Although the two armies were almost the same in terms of force, the Zhao army was not prepared before and was beaten like a fool. Now, seeing Han Qing's commander flag again, he became even more panicked. For a moment, he was defeated. No matter how Sima Chong shouted, he could not organize an effective counterattack.

Seeing this situation, Sima Chong looked as if he was dead. He knew that he had lost and was completely defeated, but he couldn't figure it out. He was obviously very careful. Every time he took a step forward, he arranged for the scouts to find out before leaving. How did these Qi troops avoid their investigation?

Sima Chong stood blankly, surrounded by the screams of the Zhao army and the killing of the Qi army. The Zhao army suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties under the trampling of each other and the abuse of the Qi army.

Zhang He and a few personal soldiers rushed to Sima Chong, wiped the blood from his face, and said, "General, the situation is over, please evacuate quickly. I will be too late to take you out."

But Sima Chong turned a deaf ear to this, just stood there stupidly, motionless, muttering something in his mouth, making Zhang He jumped so anxious. In desperation, Zhang He had to let his personal soldiers set up Sima Chong, and he was leading the way forward and led Sima Chong to fight. After several hard work, Zhang He finally led Sima Chong out of the encirclement of the Zhao army by Zhang He, but there was only a few of the 95,000 troops left.

The battle at the foot of Huishan lasted for half a day. Nearly half of the 95,000 Zhao troops died here. Only thousands of people rushed out with Sima, and the rest became prisoners of the Qi army.

After the war, Han Qing ordered Wu Lie and Tai Shiwei to lead troops to chase and kill Sima Chong's remaining troops, and took the opportunity to recover Qi County, Xue County, Fan County, Gongqiu and other places.
