Chapter 949 Counterattack
Ailang held a banquet in the hall to entertain Bai Qiao, and the lights were intertwined and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Bai Qiao was originally a little worried, but seeing the kind attitude of the King of Qin at this moment, the original worries disappeared involuntarily, replaced by touching and glory.
This is how people are. When a strong man he thinks he cannot defeat smiles at him, he will feel extremely excited and overjoyed, and then feel grateful and tears.
On the contrary, if the person who smiles at him is the one he thinks is the weak, will he be grateful?
Of course not, he will only despise the weaker he thinks is even more.
This is the world. Benevolence is the privilege of the strong, and not everyone is qualified to be kind. The mercy of the weak will only be considered cowardly.
Just as he was drinking and chatting, a scout suddenly ran in, clasped his fists to Ailang and said, "Lord, Liu Bei's 80,000 army has passed Xixian!"
Ailang put down his wine glass and smiled, "He came too slowly!"
Then he said to the scout: "Talk again!"
The scout clasped his fists and agreed and left quickly.
Ailang said to Bai Qiao: "The enemy is coming, let's stop today's banquet.
You go back to the camp to rest.”
Bai Qiao stood up and bowed and said, "King of Qin, I am willing to fight against Liu Bei as the vanguard in the front!"
Ailang felt a little surprised and smiled and said, "Liu Bei has 80,000 troops, how dare you fight?"
Bai Qiao said proudly: "There are 60,000 people in his hands (there are 40,000 people in Bai Qiao's headquarters, and the other 20,000 are the ganglang Qiang tribes he annexed). Even if he cannot defeat Liu Bei, he can at least resist his military attack! If he cannot succeed, he will be willing to be a military law!"
Ailang praised: "Okay! I'm very happy that you have this determination!"
He paused and said, "If you can succeed, I will appoint you as the General of the Western Qiang, and you will be responsible for all the affairs of the Qiang people in the future!"
Bai Qiao was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
Then Ailang sent someone to send Bai Qiao out of the city.
Just as Ailang was about to go back to rest, an officer suddenly came to report: "Report to the lord, the 50,000 army led by Mrs. Yueying has arrived outside the city gate."
Ailang showed a look of surprise and shouted, "So fast!"
Then he ran outside.
How could Huang Yueying lead 50,000 troops here?
It turned out that not long ago, Liu Bei led his army to suddenly give up Langya Valley and retreat to Sanguan. Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang felt something was wrong. Then both of them speculated that Liu Bei must have wanted to guard Sanguan with a group of troops, and then mobilized the army to Wududao to help Hanyang and other places.
After obtaining this judgment, the two immediately decided that Zhuge Liang would lead tens of thousands of troops into the Langya Valley, while Huang Yueying immediately led 50,000 troops to the west to help Hanyang. At the same time, they also sent a courier of the fast horse to inform Ailang of their judgment and decision.
This is also why Ailang was not surprised at all when he heard that Liu Bei's army arrived.
The current arrangement of the Qin army in Xiliang is that Zhuge Liang led 50,000 troops to guard Langya Valley, Yan Yan led 30,000 troops to station troops above Longguan, Huang Yueying led 50,000 troops to join the 50,000 troops led by Ailang in Hanyang, so a 100,000 Qin army gathered in Hanyang area, and Wei Yan had 50,000 troops to guard Jincheng to the front line of Wuwei.
On Liu Bei's side, 80,000 troops have passed Wududao, and the troops are heading straight to Hanyang. However, 80, Liu Bei still doesn't know that the Qin army has 100,000 troops gathered in Hanyang, and there are 60,000 Qiang servants. However, Liu Bei also has an advantage. The 250,000 Western Regions coalition forces have approached Wuwei. If Wei Yan could not resist the attack of the Western Regions coalition forces, the entire Western Liang situation would be likely to reverse.
The sight turned to Wuwei. A cavalry team composed of hundreds of Qin cavalry encountered thousands of vanguard cavalry of the Western Regions dozens of miles west of Wuwei. Fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
The Qin cavalry not only refused to retreat when facing an enemy that was ten times more than one, but also launched an attack. Hundreds of knights rushed into the enemy's bloody battle! The scene was in chaos, and the horse spear and sword raised blood. The cavalry of the Western Regions coalition was killed and overturned! The leading Western Regions general was anxious, angry and shocked, and roared and commanded his subordinates to counterattack the opponent! At this moment, a Qin cavalry actually broke through the crowd and reached his front. The Qin cavalry covered in blood was full of murderous aura, which scared the Western Regions general.
The Western Region General hurriedly raised his spear to prepare for the battle, but the Qin cavalry had already rushed to him, and the horse spear pierced in the air. The Western Region General could not stop it, and watched the opponent's horse spear pierce into his chest! The Western Region General widened his eyes, with an incredible look in his eyes! The Qin cavalry succeeded and then took a hard attack. The Western Region General screamed and fell off his horse, shook for two seconds and then did not move.
The Western Region cavalry was already shaking under the fierce attack of the Qin army. At this time, they suddenly saw their general being killed by their opponents. They were shocked and dared not fight again. They turned their horses and fled to their lives. The horses were shattered and there was a chaotic scene.
The Qin cavalry chased after more than ten miles before they withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
The defeated generals of the Western Region cavalry fled and finally joined their own large troops.
When Levhotuo and others saw their vanguard cavalry in such a mess, they felt incredible.
Löv asked one of the officers for details. The officer dared not say that they were defeated by the opponent's few hundred cavalry. In order to conceal his incompetence, he actually said that the other party dispatched nearly 10,000 cavalry to ambush them. They sacrificed their lives to fight to the death, and even the general died in battle, and finally lost.
None of the people who escaped back did escape, but fought a bloody battle and broke through the siege. In short, in the mouth of this officer, they were all warriors who had experienced bloody battles, and they were still honored even if they were defeated! After hearing the officer's narrative, Lov had no doubts and believed it, and could not help but scold the shamelessness of the Han people, and vowed to kill the Han people in Wuwei City without leaving any hell.
Then Lof ordered the army to accelerate its advance.
The army rolled eastward with a rainbow of momentum.
At this time, the entire Western Regions coalition forces were in anger and wanted to go to the city of Wuwei to find the despicable Han people to avenge them! Mao Jie and others were even among the Western Regions coalition forces.
One of his confidants couldn't help but say to Mao Jie: "General, their thousands of cavalry were ambushed by more than 10,000 cavalry in the Qin army. How could they break out of the siege and escape back so many people?
Is this impossible?"
Mao Jie smiled coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's just a mistake!"
Then he said, "But this is not a bad thing either.
With such anger, Wei Yan's 40,000 troops were afraid that it would be difficult for him to defend Wuwei! If the Wuwei could be broken, the entire battle situation could be reversed!"
Before sunset that day, the Western Regions coalition forces arrived at the city of Wuwei.
Because it was getting late, the Western Regions coalition did not launch an attack immediately, but surrounded Wuwei and set up camps on the west, north and south sides.
As night fell, Wei Yan stood on the city gate tower and looked out the city. He saw the enemy camp for dozens of miles. Under the lights, it seemed like a huge moon half surrounded Wuwei City.
Although Wei Yan was confident in his officers and soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw the enemy's army was so crowded.
At this time, a general came to his side, clasped his fists and said, "General, he has withdrawn the people in the city according to your order.
However, some other people refused to leave no matter what, and wanted to defend the city with us."
Wei Yan smiled slightly and said, "Okay! These people did not disappoint me! You can arrange to compile these people who are unwilling to leave into a department, so that the elders can lead the army and be responsible for the treatment of the wounded and transporting supplies."
The general replied and immediately went down.
Wei Yan thought of something and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The general stopped, clasped his fists and asked, "What else does the general have to do?"
Wei Yan asked, "Does the lord have a reply?"
The general shook his head and said, "No reply has been sent yet."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "It's okay here, you can go and do it."
The officer clasped his fists and agreed and walked quickly.
Wei Yan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.
The sight returned to the south.
On this day, Ailang was discussing the attack with Huang Yueying.
At this moment, a scout suddenly came to report: "The cavalry lord, the Qiang people led by Bai Qiao defeated Liu Bei's army near the Shohu Valley. Liu Bei's army fled to Xi County. Bai Qiao is leading his army to pursue him!"
Ailang was surprised and said, "No! The 60,000 Qiang people could defeat Liu Bei's 80,000 troops?"
Huang Yueying thought for a moment and frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the situation of Bai Qiao's troops is not good! This is clearly Liu Bei's plan to lure the enemy into depth!"
Ailang was startled and nodded involuntarily, saying, "Things are abnormal, there must be monsters!"
He immediately called a personal soldier and ordered: "You should hurry to Xixian immediately. When you see Bai Qiao, tell him not to attack rashly and camp on the spot and wait for our army to come up!"
The personal soldiers held their fists and agreed and went down immediately.
Ailang looked at Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, I don't think we can't wait until the rest is completed, we must attack immediately! You sit in the city, and my commanding army will attack~!"
Huang Yueying thought for a moment and nodded.
He raised his head and looked at Ailang, and told softly: "Husband, be careful!"
Ailang couldn't help but feel his heart swayed. Looking at Huang Yueying's beautiful and gentle appearance, he couldn't help swallowing, and his index finger jumped involuntarily.
Then he packed up his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Liu Bei can't do anything to me!"
Huang Yueying smiled sweetly.
That night, Ailang led 50,000 infantry and cavalry out of Hanyang and headed south.
Ailang's plan was not like this, but Bai Qiao, who was eager to make contributions, completely disrupted Ailang's plan.
Ailang had no choice but to lead tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry who had no time to rest and head south.
It is said that after Bai Qiao led his army to defeat Liu Bei's army in Shohu Valley, he advanced fiercely all the way to pursue Liu Bei's army.
Soon after, I chased him outside Xixian.
Then he rushed to attack fiercely.
Soon the sky became dark, and Bai Qiao had to temporarily stop the attack and set up camp several miles outside the city.
Bai Qiao assigned tasks to all the leaders under his commanders, and immediately asked them to go down and prepare, intending to attack with all their might tomorrow morning to capture Xixian and destroy Liu Bei's army.
