Because of this, he refused to let Pang Meng lead his army there, because if the Qin army laid an ambush, Pang Meng would definitely not be able to react in time, and it was very likely that the entire army would be annihilated in the Qin army's ambush.

Of course, these truths must not be told to Pang Meng, otherwise this reckless man would definitely lead his army to prove himself, so Bai Fangming pretended that he was itching and couldn't bear it, so he promised a few cars to the party's martyrs.

With wine as reward, he reluctantly persuaded Pang Meng to guard Pinyang County on his behalf.

On the seventh day of April, the day after Sima An, Le Yi, King Huan Zhao Xuan and others spied on the Qin army's camp, Pinyang guard Bai Fangming led 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry and rushed to Chongquan County.

After a rapid march, we finally arrived about twenty miles north of Chongquan County before the evening of that day.

This distance was enough for Bai Fangming to launch a sneak attack on Chongquan County that night.

He asked his soldiers to rest in the nearby forest for a while. After eating and drinking, Bai Fangming ordered the troops to march to Chongquan County.

By the time Bai Fangming led his Hexi Army to quietly reach the northeastern corner of Chongquan County, it was already around three o'clock in the morning. Chongquan County was silent, with only a little light near the city gate tower.

I saw some Qin soldiers walking back and forth on the city, but other walls far away from the city gate tower were completely dark.

"..."

Looking at Chongquan County, which was so close at hand, Bai Fangming frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

He asked himself, if he were a Qin general stationed in Chongquan and learned that tens of thousands of Wei troops were stationed in Pinyang to the north, would he be so careless as not to set up a secret sentry on the way between Chongquan and Pinyang?

Or is it that the Qin general stationed at Chongquan is actually a fool?

Which of the two is more likely?

"General, don't you order an attack on the city?" a general asked Bai Fangming in a low voice.

Bai Fangming waved his hand to signal the man to be calm. He stared carefully at Chongquan County, which was about two hundred feet away, and then looked at the night sky in the direction of the North City Gate and the East City Gate for a while, feeling in his heart

The uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.

"Withdraw!" he ordered decisively.

However, just as the Wei troops under his command were retreating along the way they came for no apparent reason, suddenly three rockets were fired into the sky from the forest not far away. Immediately, countless Qin troops came from the north and east gates.

Killing came from two directions.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Qin army shouted loudly and charged towards the Wei army.

Seeing this, Bai Fangming concluded that he had fallen into a trap and immediately withdrew his troops. In order to prevent the Qin army from taking advantage of the chaos to attack his troops, he personally led his troops to cut off the rear.

What they didn't expect was that on the way they came, there were also Qin troops ambushing them. In the end, Qin troops were everywhere, and they didn't know how many there were.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Bai Fangming had no choice but to lead his soldiers to break out of the encirclement. However, there were so many Qin troops in this area that he tried to break through the encirclement several times without success.

Seeing the soldiers under his command being seriously injured, Bai Fang's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart.

After two hours of hard fighting, more than half of the approximately 7,000 cavalry brought by Bai Fangming had been lost. Even the surviving Wei soldiers might not be able to hold on for long.

Fortunately, the dark clouds in the sky covered the moon, causing the Qin army to temporarily stop the attack on the Wei army.

But Bai Fangming understood that this good luck would not stay with him for long. Tomorrow at best, at dawn, the Qin army would organize a siege again.

The problem is that he can't lead his soldiers to break out in the dark.

After a hard night's sleep and waiting for dawn the next day, Bai Fangming summoned the remaining troops under his command to prepare for the final breakout.

But unfortunately, the Qin army seemed to be sure that he would force a breakout at dawn and made preparations early.

Just when Bai Fangming was feeling desperate because he could not break out of the encirclement, reinforcements suddenly arrived.

It turned out to be his deputy general Pang Meng. He received Le Yi's letter - to be precise, after Le Yi's letter was delivered to Pinyang, Pang Meng had nothing to do and opened the letter Le Yi sent to Bai Fangming.

When Bai Fangming led his troops to attack Chongquan County, it was very likely that they would be ambushed by the Qin army, so he sent troops to rescue him all night, and finally arrived in the Chongquan area before dawn.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the Wei army under Bai Fangming was greatly boosted. They joined forces with Pang Meng's army, fought desperately to break out of the siege, and fled back to Pinyang County with the defeated troops.

At this time, because in the middle of the night yesterday, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, after learning about the "successful ambush of Wei general Bai Fangming", immediately sent general "Bian Ji" to lead an army to attack Pinyang at night.

Unexpectedly, the Hexi cavalry under Wei generals Ji Yan and Le Kui also found out that there was suspected war in Chongquan County last night and hurriedly reported back to Le Yi, who immediately informed King Huan Zhao Xuan.

Although he was doubtful about Le Yi's judgment, King Huan Zhao Xuan still sent Zongwei General Li Meng to lead three thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry to aid Pinyang.

This Wei army led by Li Meng happened to bump into "Bian Ji" on the way to Pinyang. Both sides were shocked and fought hastily.

This encounter allowed generals Bai Fangming and Pang Meng to escape back to Pinyang in time, and immediately awakened the soldiers in the city to prepare for the defense of the city.

Two hours later, Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi and Wei General Le Yi received news from "Bian Ji" and "Li Meng" respectively, and learned that the troops sent by them had encountered an encounter on the way to Pinyang.

At that time, Gongsun Qi was full of anger and cursed: "It's this Le Yi who ruined my good deeds again!"

Le Yi, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the army led by Li Meng arrived in time and thwarted the Qin army's intention to sneak attack Pinyang.

To be fair, although Le Yi didn't care about losing a few cities, he never thought that if the Qin army succeeded so easily, why would the Qin army have to pay the price of tens of thousands of casualties?

Seeing that his plan was discovered by Le Yi, Gongsun Qi came up with another plan. He said to Zhao Ran, the chief concubine: "Since Le Yi has calculated that our army will pretend to attack Wei and actually capture Pinyang, we should not follow his plan and withdraw our troops immediately.

The army moves north and assumes a posture of attacking Pinyang. In this way, Le Yi is very likely to lead his army to attack Chongquan. In the meantime, our army can turn back and catch him off guard."

Zhao Ran, the chief concubine, thought so.

So, at Chu's Qin camp forty miles west of Wei City, more than 100,000 Qin troops moved in full force, carrying all the siege equipment, and marched towards Pinyang County.

The Hexi cavalry who monitored every movement of the Qin army quickly reported the incident to Ji Yan and General Le Kui, who in turn immediately reported it to Le Yi.

Ji Yan said to Le Yi: "The Qin army's sneak attack on Pinyang failed, and they attacked with anger. Our army just took advantage of the situation to regain Chongquan and cut off the Qin army's return route."

Le Yi chuckled and shook his head and said: "General Ji thought that the Qin army failed to attack in a sneak attack and became angry? No, no, no, Le thought that the Qin army just wanted to trick our army into attacking Chongquan. If Chongquan cannot be attacked, Bai Fang will

The general is a lesson learned from the past for our army...

However, the Qin camp outside the city can be taken. Gongsun Qi hopes to trick us into Chongquan. Even if he learns that our army is attacking his camp, he will choose to endure it. Therefore, as long as the two generals attack the Qin camp,

Withdraw your troops immediately and return, there is no risk in doing so."

Ji Yan and Le Kui looked at each other in shock. Considering that Le Yi had indeed calculated the Qin army's strategy, they finally decided to obey Le Yi's order, capture the Qin camp while its defense was empty, and then burn it to the ground.

Sure enough, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, who was slowly leading his army towards Pinyang at this time, did not send troops to rescue after learning that his army camp was attacked by the Wei army, but made preparations to ambush Le Yi's army.

Unexpectedly, after Wei generals Ji Yan and Le Kui set fire to the Qin camp, they withdrew their troops and returned to Le Yi's camp.

After receiving the news, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi was silent for a long time.

Although it was a joyful thing to meet an opponent in chess, to be honest, he couldn't be happy at the moment.

He said to Zhao Ran, the chief concubine: "The surprise attack on Pinyang failed, and the only way left is to attack by force. If my prediction is correct, Zhao Xuan's Northern Army will immediately support Pinyang from Linwei. But at this time, only

Take Zhao Xuan's Wei camp first and intercept Zhao Xuan's troops."

Zhao Ran, the chief concubine, frowned and said, "Garrisoning troops south of Liangshan? Wouldn't that mean we are surrounded by the Wei army?"

Indeed, if Gongsun Qi seizes the Wei camp of King Huan Zhao Xuan, he will be surrounded by Pinyang to the west, King Huan Zhao Xuan and Linwei City to the south, and Wei State guarding Wei Ji to the east of the river. This is simply an enemy on three sides.

"Exactly like this."

Gongsun Qi said sternly: "Seeing that our army fell into siege on its own, the Wei army would gradually launch a siege. They didn't know that Lord Weiyang was attacking Diaoyin. As long as Lord Weiyang captured Diaoyin, he would send his army southward to assist us." If the army attacks Pinyang, it will have a great chance of capturing Pinyang."

Zhao Ran, the chief concubine, reported the matter to the King of Qin. After pondering for a moment, the latter finally agreed to Gongsun Qi's risky strategy.

Therefore, Gongsun Qi divided his troops into two and asked the chief concubine Zhao Ran to lead half of the troops to garrison Chongquan with King Hui of Qin, while he led the other half to attack the Wei camp south of Liangshan by King Huan Zhao Xuan.

Fang Shuo, the guard general of the Wei camp south of Liangshan, never expected that the Qin army would attack his camp. He neglected to take precautions and was captured by the Qin army. He had to take the remaining troops to defect to King Huan Zhao Xuan.

Just as Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi had guessed, the Wei generals were all confused about his splitting his troops to attack the camp of King Huan Zhao Xuan. Even Le Yi couldn't figure out what Gongsun Qi was trying to do.

Are you trapped by the Wei army?
