Chapter 941
Mao Jie thought it was pretty good, but his fierce attacks from both sides of the north and west were repeatedly set. The war was going on until evening. Under the reflection of the sunset, the entire Qipan Peak seemed to be stained with blood, and the corpses were everywhere on the north slope of the west slope were full of tragic! Mao Jie was anxious when he saw the attacking troops retreating again.
Then he ordered the ready troops to replace the retreating troops and continue to attack Qipanfeng.
However, at this moment, a scout rushed over and reported urgently: "It's bad, the general, the Qiang people have stopped attacking!"
Mao Jie frowned and immediately ordered his subordinates to suspend operations and wait for him to come back. He himself led a few personal soldiers to go straight to the Qiang army.
When they arrived at the Qiang army formation, the Qiang tribes were retreating to the camp.
Mao Jie found the leader of the Qiang people, Ai Jian, and asked, "Khan (the leader of foreign races was often called Khan during the Han Dynasty). You promised to obey my orders, but why did you stop the attack without notifying me?"
The Ai Jian mentioned by Mao Jie is a burly man with a burly figure, covered with animal skin and beard, with a very majestic and majestic figure.
Aijian snorted and said unhappily: "You said that the Qin army was vulnerable, and that they broke Wu Yueshan and Chen Cang, and that the countless wealth of Chang'an was allowed to be seized by our clan! However, the reality is completely different from what you said!..." He pointed to the Qipan Peak in front of him and said angrily: "After the multi-level attack, not only did it fail to break the Qipan Peak, but my clan's corpses were scattered and corpses were everywhere! I didn't even see the benefit at all, but I had paid a very painful price! If I continue to fight, I am afraid that the wood of Wu Yueshan is not enough to make a coffin for my clan's lord! The loss is so huge, but there is no benefit, and I cannot explain it to my clan's people! I am worthy of Liu Bei, and the dispute between you and Lu Bu in the future has nothing to do with me! I will lead my troops back to Qiang land today!"
Mao Jie frowned and said loudly: "Does Khan want to put the tribe in a desperate situation?"
Ai Jian was stunned for a moment and asked angrily: "What do you mean?"
Mao Jie clasped his fists and said, "Khan! That Lu Bu is a great hero who has never been born for hundreds of years. You have also seen that his ambition is unparalleled. Once our Lord is destroyed, can he let go of the Qiang tribes under Khan?
If we lose our ally as our Lord, wouldn’t Khan have the only way to defeat?”
Ai Jian was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.
At this time, a tall, handsome and beautiful girl behind him shouted angrily: "You Han people are just good at speaking! You just want us to stay and defeat Lu Bu for you! Even if you win this battle, our Qiang tribes will suffer heavy casualties, and the consequences will be unimaginable. On the contrary, if you lose, wouldn't it accelerate the process of destruction?
Now the ceasefire can at least control the losses to this level, but continuing to be enemies with the Qin army will be an endless ending! And we have heard that the 200,000 main forces of the Qin army had arrived not long ago, but you did not tell us about this matter, why is it really doubtful to be careful!"
This girl with extraordinary appearance and temperament is named Mu Ya. She is Ai Jian's daughter. Although she is a daughter, she is as good as a woman and is a rare powerful general among the Qiang people.
After hearing what my beloved daughter said, Aijian nodded deeply and said to Mao Jie angrily: "It's really abominable that you hide the news of Lu Bu's reinforcements from us! For the sake of my blood alliance with Liu Bei, I won't make things difficult for you. Don't talk anymore, go quickly!"
Seeing this, Mao Jie knew that it would be useless to continue talking, so he clasped his fists and said, "I hope Khan will not regret it in the future."
|Then he turned his head and rode away.
Aijian immediately asked the army to retreat as soon as possible.
Mao Jie returned to his own army and ordered the troops to retreat into the Weishui village, and at the same time retreated all the people occupying the Yedu Grotto.
Now that the Qiang people have left, he can only concentrate the troops in his hands.
In the big tent, Mao Jie frowned, looking very upset, and murmured to himself: "I have failed for the mountain Jiuren!"
The generals looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but clasped his fists at Mao Jie and said, "General, now the Qiang people are withdrawing, we are alone, we are afraid, we are afraid..." Another general said, "Now, it should be time to retreat immediately before the Qin army can react, otherwise the Qin army will be besieged, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The others agreed and then looked at Mao Jie, waiting for his order.
Mao Jie thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he muttered to himself: "It may not be a bad thing for the Qiang people to withdraw."
Then he told the generals what he had just thought of.
All the generals showed a look of surprise, and then the surprised expression turned into excitement. They clasped their fists and said, "General, please give the order!"
Speaking of which, Wei Yan's attack was unfavorable and retreated back to Yingchoujian and re-planned his actions.
However, at this moment, the scout suddenly heard an urgent report: "General, the Qiang troops stopped their attacks, and the entire army was withdrawn!"
Wei Yan was surprised and asked hurriedly: "Are you saying true?"
"It's true! The Qiang tribes have withdrawn dozens of miles away at this moment!"
Wei Yan looked thoughtful and paced back and forth, looking happy and worried, and didn't know what he was thinking.
A general couldn't help but clasp his fists to Wei Yan and said, "General, the Qiang people retreat. It's no longer a matter of fear of Mao Jie's tens of thousands of troops. The opportunity must not be missed. Our army should attack immediately!"
The other generals and officials agreed, all of them looking impatient.
Wei Yan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious!"
He immediately asked the scout, "What are the actions of Mao Jie's troops?"
The scout clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general, Mao Jie's troops have retreated into the Weishui village, and even the troops that originally occupied the wild donkey ditch have been retreated."
Wei Yan sat down and thought for a while, shouted, "Continue to investigate, if there is any situation, you will repay it immediately!"
The scout Yingnuo ran down.
In the middle of the night, the scout sent to investigate came back and reported excitedly: "General, the enemy's camp has left the Weishui village, and is retreating northwest around Qipan Peak!"
All the generals couldn't help but become impatient. They looked at Wei Yan. One general clasped his fists and said anxiously: "General, order the pursuit quickly, otherwise the enemy will escape!"
The others agreed, all looking impatient.
Wei Yan thought about it and said to the generals: "Yan Yan led three thousand officers and soldiers to guard Yingchoujian, and should not be carried! The other troops immediately attacked and pursued Mao Jie!"
The generals excitedly clasped their fists and agreed, and then hurried down.
Wei Yan called a commissar, gave a careful order, and finally said, "Go quickly! Hurry up, don't delay!"
The messenger held his fists and agreed and hurriedly left the big tent.
Not long after, Wei Yan led more than 25,000 officers and soldiers out of Yingchoujian to pursue Mao Jie's troops.
Before dawn, the army passed through the Weishui village and walked around Qipan Peak and chased towards the northwest.
At about the same time, the tens of thousands of troops led by Mao Jie had retreated dozens of miles north of Yingchou Jian.
However, at this moment, Mao Jie stopped, and the troops of his troops immediately dispersed in this dense forest and lie in ambushing high places around.
It turned out that Mao Jie had determined that the opponent had learned that the Qiang people had retreated and that they had retreated would have come out to chase him. Therefore, Mao Jie planned to take the plan and simply led his army to retreat, but set up an ambush in this suitable terrain.
Just when the enemy army catches up, the ambushing troops will come out from all directions. Even if they cannot completely wipe out the enemy, they will definitely seriously damage the enemy.
Now that the pockets are set up, the Qin army is just waiting for the Qin army to plunge in.
Before we knew it, the night passed, the sky brightened, the forest gradually woke up, and the chirping sounds of birds breaking the silence in the mountains and forests.
Tens of thousands of Liu Bei soldiers were ambushed in various parts of the mountains and forests, staring at the south, and everyone looked a little anxious.
Time passed slowly, and when the sun was about to rise to the middle of the sky, there was suddenly movement in the woods in the south.
The officers and soldiers of Liu Bei were impatiently waiting and suddenly felt their hearts moving.
At this moment, the scout rushed to Mao Jie and reported excitedly: "General, Wei Yan led his army to chase him! There were about 30,000 troops!"
Mao Jie smiled coldly and said excitedly: "It's finally here!"
Half an hour later, Liu Bei's army, who was ambushing in the mountains, saw countless people coming in the dense forest, and saw them entering their own encirclement without any notice.
Seeing that the time was right, Mao Jie immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Go on attack!"
The bell and drummer immediately beat the war drum, and the rumbling war drum sounded like thunder coming in across the mountains and forests.
At the same time, Liu Bei's officers and soldiers who were ambushing in all directions rushed out with earth-shaking shouts, besieging the Qin army from all directions like jackals, tigers and leopards suddenly appearing in the mountains and forests.
After a while, each team of Liu Bei army rushed to the Qin army's defense line.
To their expectations, the Qin army reacted so quickly and had already formed a series of defensive fronts! Teams of Liu Bei's army howled and rushed over the Qin army's defensive front, and fierce battle broke out.
Liu Bei's officers and soldiers tried to break through the Qin army's defense line in one fell swoop and completely defeat the Qin army. Several lines of defense collapsed under the crazy impact of Liu Bei's army, but the entire Qin army resisted the fierce attack of Liu Bei's army! These Qin troops seemed to be prepared for a long time, and the raids of Liu Bei's army did not have the effect at all! The Qin army's defense line resisted the sudden attack of Liu Bei's army, and then the crossbowmen who had been prepared had been fired together, and the arrows roared out like locusts. The Liu Bei's officers and soldiers who were close at hand were caught off guard and were immediately overturned! The attack momentum suddenly became chaotic.
