Chapter 284 It's time to perform the real art of war, soft-legged shrimp
Soon, the fighters at the forefront of the battlefield, in the most dangerous position, couldn't hold on anymore.
The front of the battlefield of 50,000 people was broken by the 100,000 vulgar people on the opposite side, and they collapsed thousands of miles away.
Countless fighters cried for their fathers and mothers, and ran away with their heads in their arms.
And behind them, there are countless elites of the coalition army chasing and beating fiercely, looking like they are taking advantage of your illness to kill you, it is extremely crazy.
These coalition soldiers knew that they should not take advantage of the fact that the enemies were scared out of their wits, and cut off a few more heads to make some contributions. After those enemies go back, slowly recover their morale and gain some experience, it is impossible to defeat them so easily.
At that time, if you want to defeat again, you must pay more casualties than now. Therefore, for the sake of my future life and my own merits, let's kill a few more people!
"Anyway, they are some soft-legged shrimps from the Qi State, and it is healthier to kill them!" the coalition soldiers thought.
"These savages, these vulgar and reckless people, don't understand at all what is art and what is gentlemanly demeanor! The agreed point is over, and the agreed upon art is not desperate, where is the agreed upon!" The martial artist who ran wildly and threw things from himself desperately thought with grief and indignation.
Soon, only an hour after the start of the war, a dramatic scene occurred.
Qi Guo regards it as an important task, and regards it as his most important hole card, expecting them to have a good performance on the battlefield.
But not long after the battlefield started, they collapsed thousands of miles away, and their performance was not even as good as those ordinary standing troops behind them.
At least, even though the standing armies were also retreating steadily, at least they dared to fight the coalition forces opposite them, and fled without a fight.
Therefore, driven by the escape of those martial arts, the morale of the standing army behind collapsed. After resisting for a while, they also fled after finding that there were more dead.
Then, the two elite aces of martial arts and regular equipment collapsed, and the miscellaneous youths who followed behind also collapsed. Many people didn't even see the enemy's face, but only heard the sound, heard a little wind, and advanced from the rear. He ran away.
As for the old and weak women at the rear, they are more than ten miles away from the battlefield in front of them. Standing in the army, they can see dust at a glance. They can't even see the battlefield, and they can't even hear normal voices. arrive.
Naturally, in this safe place.
They said: escape, what is escape? Aren't we the safest place here? There is a big meat shield in front, and the road behind is smooth, let's wait until the meat shield in front is dead!
Emperor Yuan six years, mid-June
The coalition forces and the Qi State fought in Yangguan on the plains below the city of Yangguan. 800,000 coalition forces fought against 1 million Qi troops. After only three hours of fighting, most of the troops were defeated, and only a small number of troops remained stable and maintained the front line. (In fact, the 200,000 old and weak women in the rear are nearly 20 miles away from the battlefield, and the coalition soldiers will stop chasing after about 10 miles, so their battle line is the most stable, because they don't see the enemy at all. For those soft feet in the front Shrimp wimps, they laugh!)
In this battle, the coalition forces beheaded 200,000 Qi troops, and the rest of the coalition forces fled and ran all the way to Yangguan City. With the support of the city, they stabilized their morale a little bit, but it was difficult for them to dare to fight again.
The loss of the coalition forces themselves is less than 100,000, most of them are old and weak, and the loss of strength is so small that it can be ignored.
After this battle, the momentum of the coalition forces was greatly shaken again, and the reputation of bravery was spread all over the world, and brave men from all over the world yearned for it. Under the encouragement, thousands of li joined the army one after another, and the strength of the coalition army increased sharply.
And the name of the soft-footed shrimp in Qi State spread all over the world, and people at that time despised Qi people and were ashamed to associate with them. After tea and dinner, it was even used as a joke. The rogue merchants of the Qi Kingdom and the traveling warriors who traveled to various countries were even more humiliated and miserable.
The Qi State has completely lost its confidence in going out to fight in the city. After three frontal battles in the wild plains, except for one victory (the last time 100,000 vs. Even the state of Qi can speak for the situation of a tie.), Only two games failed, which could not help but shake the fighting spirit of Qi State.
Therefore, the King of Qi ordered that the remaining 800,000 troops be distributed throughout the territory of Qi State, guarding dangerous and important towns, and closing the city. He planned to rely on Qi's vast and fertile land and sufficient supplies to consume those western bumpkins alive and poor.
"After all, we are educated and rich people. We can't afford to fight these illiterate mud legs. We can smash them to death with money!" King Qi thought in his heart, and the ministers of Qi State also supported him in this way.
Therefore, the coalition forces quickly took action for Qi Guo's resigned appointment.
In the rear, Qufu City, which is still holding on, has lost half of the 300,000 defenders in the city after the 500,000 army led by Cao Cao stormed it for one month. There are only 150,000 people left, but there are also a lot of wounded, and the strength is not good.
The Cao Cao army outside the city also paid a full 200,000 casualties for this. Fortunately, they are all old and weak with weak strength, the branches of the whole, those elite veterans have not been damaged, and the overall strength has not been harmed.
However, such heavy casualties still greatly shook the morale of the entire army, and Cao Cao had to suspend the offensive and began to rest.
However, everything changed because of a message from the rear.
On the frontal battlefield, the coalition forces won a big victory, defeating the Qi army's army of one million with 800,000 people. The Qi army was defeated for thousands of miles, retreating to the important towns in various places, not daring to stand out.
After the news came, the coalition forces outside the city cheered up, and while the soldiers were delighted, they were also anxious.
They are just under this city now, and they can't get any oil or water. The surrounding villages, towns and villages have been looted, layer after layer, and there is no benefit for a long time.
Now that a month has passed, even the women who were snatched at the beginning have been exhausted.
Well, this, this is an army of 500,000 after all, and only 10,000 to 20,000 women were robbed. After a month, I was overwhelmed, so it was only natural that I was exhausted.
Now seeing those brothers in front of him defeat those soft-footed shrimps of Qi State, they are about to enter Qi State's world full of food and full of gold, silver and silk.
You can let go immediately, grab and kill casually, but they are guarding a tortoise shell in this poor place behind, so why not let them feel bitter in their hearts, secretly anxious.
After all, it was too late, and what was left to them were leftovers, which were boring.
Therefore, Cao Cao took advantage of the mental direction of the whole army to launch another attack.
Moreover, Cao Cao thoughtfully spread such good news to the city.
Then, when Cao Cao spared no effort to mobilize his elite troops and dispatched all the 10,000 pro-military troops to the supervising team, the 300,000 troops raised their troops to attack.
Knowing the desperate news from the rear, the defenders were in a state of turmoil. In just three days, this fortified city was captured by Cao Cao.
