Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 26
After setting up the camp, Fu Xin commanded the army to conduct several tentative attacks on Wuyuan in the afternoon, hoping to take back Wuyuan County in one fell swoop, but there were [-] soldiers in Ziying City. More than enough.

Fu Xin, an upper class figure in Raoyang, clearly knows that Sima Shang, Xu Cheng and a young Raoyang Junziying, Xu Cheng is now in custody in his own army. At this moment, who else is in Wuyuan City besides Sima Shang? Ziying was directly ignored.

At this time, Fu Xin has already decided that the guard in Wuyuan City must die. That despicable and shameless treacherous villain Sima Shang took the opportunity to seize his old nest Wuyuan while his army was away, and let himself mistakenly think that he was in Raoyang. Go the wrong way.

Since Sima Shang is in the city, all he needs to do is to capture Wuyuan. The rest of Raoyang's troops are not led by anyone. Sima Shang's move is just to lift the siege of Liyang and bring the flames of war to his own land. Come on, Fu Xin thought.

No one in Raoyang led Zhao Guoxi to take care of himself. Fu Xin, who had no worries about his future, ordered the troops to stop the attack after probing the attack. After all, he came from a long way away and was exhausted. In this state, the direct attack on the city would cause too much loss, so it is better to rest for one night. Tomorrow, the sergeants will attack the city with all their strength after they are full of energy.

The sun was setting in the west, and the messenger Ziying sent to agree with Sima Shang's troops on the timing of the attack had returned.

The time for the night raid was set at Yin time before dawn, which is theoretically the time when people sleep the most.

It was a silent night, and dozens of people carefully selected from the east and west sides of the city wall of Raoyang slipped down the city wall with the help of ropes around four o'clock in the morning. Kindling.

Fu Xin was not a famous general, and his family history was not profound. His father was only a county magistrate. Although several sentries were placed around the camp, they either fell asleep privately or were killed by the attackers who touched him.

Dozens of people basically surrounded the Fuxin camp. When the torches came together at the top of the city, they unanimously ignited the firewood around the camp, and picked up the straw that was burning with kerosene and threw it into the camp.

Oil helped the fire, and Fu Xin's camp was densely covered with firewood and grease.

Not long after, the Fu Xin camp was full of flames. Some soldiers rushed out of the camp to escape without even putting on their clothes. Some people were covered in flames and rolled crazily on the ground in pain. Just trying to wipe out his own flames made the situation in the camp even more chaotic.

Fu Xin woke up from his sleep and hurriedly put on his armor and walked out of the military tent. Except for a few personal guards, he couldn't muster any vital force.

The camp was surrounded by soaring flames, and compared with the scattered crowd and the fear of death, no one cared about his majesty as a general.

What added fuel to the flames was that at this moment, the gate of Wuyuan City opened wide, and groups of soldiers came out of it, with battle flags fluttering and slogans shaking the sky. Just looking at the formation, there must be thousands of people. Due to the raging fire in the barracks, the Wuyuan army did not dare to drive in for a while, and some soldiers who rushed past here and there were directly shot and killed halfway.

"Fang" only heard an order, followed by dense arrows passing through the camp, taking away fresh lives.

At this time, the army was in a mess, there were not many people with weapons at all, some even had no clothes on, and ran about in the camp with their buttocks naked. Fu Xin knew that attacking the Takegaki defenders in this state was no different from Go up to die.

Immediately shouted loudly: "I am Fu Xin, the order of Wuyuan City, and the soldiers under my command are ordered to retreat immediately with me." After finishing speaking, he led several guards to rush to the side far away from Wuyuan City, and the accompanying guards kept on going along the way. Shouting Fu Xin's order loudly, more and more entourages gradually gathered into small groups and rushed out following Fu Xin.

When Fu Xin led his troops out of the sea of ​​flames, the tragedy in front of him was unbearable. The five thousand Yan army, which was well-equipped and strong the day before, was now disgraced. Many were not fully clothed.

It was too late to count the soldiers, but Fu Xin led his subordinates to drill for many years, and he knew that there were not a few casualties just by looking at the scale. There were screams from time to time in the sea of ​​fire not far away, obviously some soldiers had not yet escaped from the sea of ​​fire .

But at this moment, it is obvious that there is no time to rescue those comrades who are still in the sea of ​​fire. The sound of footsteps has been heard not far away, and the defenders of Takegaki have already chased after them. One of the horses ran away, and the sergeant behind followed suit, ignoring everything and running for their lives.

The Wuyuan garrison who followed closely followed Ziying's previous instructions to maintain a distance of more than a hundred meters from Fu Xin's fleeing army, and sent all the cavalry to continuously harass the two wings of the fleeing army. Fu Xin's soldiers gave up fleeing and directly surrendered face down on the ground to survive.

The Takegaki defenders didn't have time to take these people into consideration, and went straight through them to pursue Fu Xin's main force.

Just after Yin time, a faint ray of light appeared in the sky, and when the sky brightened, the road could be seen clearly, at least getting rid of the thickest darkness before dawn, those arrows that were difficult to avoid, and would take away a few lives from time to time .

But Fu Xinjun, who had just escaped from the darkness, was too late to be happy, and his fleeing footsteps stopped abruptly. In front of them, there was an army of thousands of people standing in front of them blocking the way. One of the generals in the front was Fu Xin. Sima Shang gritted his teeth with hatred.

At this moment, there were chasing troops and intercepting them. If he had a choice, Fu Xin would definitely choose to surrender, but he knew that after receiving the letter from "Sima Shang", his insults to him were only a lot more malicious than the letter's malice towards himself. Well, others may live if they surrender, but Fu Xin's surrender is definitely a dead word.

He also understood at this moment.The reason why Takegaki's defenders have not caught up with him so far is completely a mentality of cats and mice, wanting to completely smooth out the spirit of their own army, and then catch them all in one go.

At this moment, no matter which direction one breaks out of the encirclement, it is difficult for one's own army to escape. Continuing to run sideways will only drain the last bit of morale of one's own.

When he was desperate, Fu Xin drew his long sword and pointed at his "enemy" Sima Shang, shouted "Kill!" and rushed to Sima Shang's team.

At the same time, the army led by Sima Shang and the Wuyuan defenders also accelerated at the same time, attacking Fu Xin's remnant army from both sides.

The outcome of the war was determined from the moment the flames rose. The remnant army led by Fu Xin faced the well-equipped [-] opponents. It was a completely unilateral massacre. Picking up a piece of rubble on the side of the road, a branch to participate in the battle, often lost his life in one round.

The battle started and ended quickly. After half an hour, there was not a single soldier in Fu Xin's army who could stand on the battlefield except those who bowed their heads and surrendered.

Fu Xin himself couldn't even rush to Sima Shang, but was stabbed to death by two soldiers, each with a sword, on the way to charge.

After cleaning the battlefield, Ziying intuitively realized the cruelty of war. Raoyang's army suffered relatively small casualties, but more than a hundred people were killed in the final decisive battle, and more than 100 others were injured. In Fu Xin's army, except Except for more than 1000 people who surrendered, the remaining more than 3000 people died in battle or burned to death.

After listening to the sergeant's report, Ziying couldn't help lamenting the cruelty of war. Although he had a certain intuition or psychological preparation before, he was still very sad to see the result. More than 3000 lives left this world in just one night, and This isn't the end, it's just the beginning.

On the battlefields between various countries in China, conflicts of this scale occurred from time to time, and some major wars would even add hundreds of thousands of dead.

As long as one day the struggle for hegemony among the countries is not over and the world is not unified, such scenes will continue to be staged.

"If there is a crime, it will be attributed to me alone. May my long sword be able to purge all the wars in the world." Looking at the angry Chaoyang Ziying in the distance, he said silently.
