Chapter 1228 A battle will determine the outcome

It can be seen that Magistrate Du's thoughts have already flown to Qi State, and he has already thoroughly studied Qi State's plan for land equalization.

When Wang Yue saw this scene, he was a little dumbfounded. He left 30,000 troops stationed here, preparing to use this place as logistics to ensure that he took Taiyuan's food and grass, and then took the remaining soldiers and horses, as well as two women. Wei, go to Taiyuan together.

The reason why he wanted to bring a female guard was because if Liu Yuru was left in Tongling, she would probably be besieged by people of her own age. After all, she was his princess.

Taiyuan was not far from Tongling, so Wang Yue traveled all night and arrived there in no time. However, he was a little surprised to find that the gate of Taiyuan City was open, and it seemed that no one was guarding it.

Wang Yue was a little surprised, so he sent his spies to Taiyuan City to check. He would not go home like Sima Yi when he saw an empty city.

Not long after the spies left, they rushed back with a man. Wang Yue didn't recognize who it was and looked at the spies suspiciously.

The spy quickly introduced to Wang Yue, "Your Majesty, this is General Qin. I found them in the Qin Mansion. However, when I arrived, no one was seen in the city. Everyone in the Qin family was tied up. .”

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked the spies to go down, and then asked with some confusion, "General Qin, after my wife left Taiyuan, what happened in Taiyuan City?"

After General Qin saluted Wang Yue, he said helplessly, "That Ding Hu suddenly sent people to surround my house. I originally thought that my family might be doomed, but what I didn't expect was that he just tied up my family. But they didn’t do anything? I don’t know what happened. I didn’t know that Taiyuan City was empty until I left the city just now.”

Liu Yuru also rode to Wang Yue's side. She greeted General Qin and then asked, "Is Sister Qin okay?"

When General Qin saw Liu Yuru asking this question, he quickly explained, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Wanzhi was hidden in the secret room by us, and his mother should have let him out by now."

After hearing this, Liu Yuru breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "That's good, then I won't disturb the chat between General Qin and the prince."

After she finished, she rode back to the female guards. He wanted to tell Ji Liuyun the news.

After Wang Yue waited for him to leave, he solemnly said to General Qin, "General Qin, the army will not enter the city. Later I will send a thousand soldiers and horses to accompany you to move. I always feel that Taiyuan City is waiting for you." If it’s not safe, you should arrange for your family members to return to Qi State first.”

When General Qin heard what Wang Yue said, he hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. He didn't care. It was too dangerous for his family to stay in Bingzhou. He did not hesitate, and quickly went to Taiyuan City with a thousand Qi soldiers and horses.

While Wang Yue was waiting, he rode a horse for a walk outside Taiyuan City. Occasionally when he walked downwind, he smelled a faint smell of oil.

He couldn't help but frowned. Isn't Taiyuan City full of kerosene? He thought of many plots in novels and suddenly became wary.

So, he calmly returned to the team, and then sent a cavalry to rush to the city quickly, asking the whole family to move faster. At the same time, he secretly set up a defensive array, and asked Liu Yuru to get more than a dozen bottles of increased amounts of Bei. Crisp breeze and antidote.

Not long after the cavalry entered the city, the Qin family quickly drove out one after another. When Qin Wanzhi came to Wang Yue, he saluted, and then said with some worry, "Your Majesty, why don't you enter Taiyuan City? Isn't that right? Is there something weird in town?”

Wang Yue didn't say anything. He waved Wang San over, and then said seriously, "Go and light the houses near the four gates of Taiyuan City. After lighting them, exit quickly."

Seeing Wang Yue's arrangement, everyone in the Qin family was a little shocked. They wondered why Wang Yue did this?

Qin Wanzhi asked in surprise, "Wang Yue, why is this happening? There is no one to put out the fire in the city now. If it is set alight, Taiyuan City will be burned to the ground soon."

Wang Yue signaled Qin Wanzhi to calm down, and then said seriously, "General Qin, wait a moment. If I guess wrong, I will send someone to put out the fire quickly."

Seeing that Wang Yue had said this, Qin Wanzhi said nothing more, but looked in the direction of Taiyuan City, wondering what happened in the city?

It's just that after a long time, nothing happened in Taiyuan City. Not only everyone in the Qin family was a little agitated, but even Wang Yue was a little confused. Could he have guessed wrong?

At this time, several muffled sounds suddenly occurred in Taiyuan City, and suddenly the fire became more intense. With these muffled sounds, the fire in Taiyuan City became even more intense.

Seeing this scene, Qin Wanzhi, who had experienced war, was a little shocked and said, "There is actually kerosene buried in this city?"

Wang Yue nodded and said calmly, "I guess there will be another battle after the kerosene."

After Qin Wanzhi heard Wang Yue's words, she knew there was an ambush. She quickly saluted Wang Yue and then quickly returned to the female guard camp.

The reason why she came here was not only because the female guard was escorting Liu Yuru, but also because the female relatives of the Qin family were also here.

But as soon as Qin Wanzhi came here, she heard a cry of surprise. She quickly rode to a high place and saw many soldiers and horses arriving from afar.

Looking at the endless soldiers and horses, she knew in her heart that they were surrounded. Since they knew that they had more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, and they still came to besiege them, it meant that the other party had at least more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Wang Yue looked at the soldiers and horses surrounding them, but he didn't care. After all, in this kind of large army battle, not only quantity but also quality was considered.

He rode quickly to the front of the formation, eager to see who made such a big formation.

When he came to the front of the formation, Wang Yue shouted loudly, "I am very curious as to who arranged such a huge formation, but dares to show up and let me know."

The team on the opposite side was quiet for a long time, and then a few riders came out. One of them said, "King Qi, Gu Nai Fan Xuan, as long as you are willing to surrender, I can guarantee your safety."

But as soon as Fan Xuan finished speaking, a person not far from him said coldly, "Fan Xuan, I'm afraid you can't decide this matter alone. King Qi, it's your fault for offending all the famous families in the world. , this is why we are in this dead end today, you said you have done so much for the people of the world, will those mud-legged people come to save you?"

When Wang Yue saw this scene, he still didn't understand what was going on. Someone contacted those wealthy families and mediated between Fan Xuan and Liu Xingzhi, just to kill Wang Yue.

He looked at the two people in front of him and asked curiously, "I'm curious, did the person who gave you the advice tell you that after Qi is destroyed, which one of you will win the world?"

After hearing what Wang Yue said, Liu Xingzhi, who was still very arrogant just now, changed his expression. He snorted coldly and said, "King Qi, please stop being so fast-talking. No matter what you say today, you will die."

Wang Yue waited for Liu Xingzhi to finish speaking, then nodded immediately and said seriously, "Since Liu Yizhou said this, it proves that the person appointed to be the emperor is definitely not you. I don't know that you are making wedding clothes for others, and you have What is there to be happy about?”

Fan Xuan was afraid that Liu Xingzhi would suddenly change his mind, so he quickly interrupted Wang Yue and said, "King Qi, after Qi is destroyed, Liu Yizhou will naturally take Yangzhou. When the time comes, we will govern across the river, so there will be no need for disputes."

Wang Yue ignored Fan Xuan at all and said disdainfully, "That sounds nice. Since the aristocratic families do not support Liu Yizhou, Liu Yizhou will definitely have no chance to win Yangzhou. After all, it is difficult for you to get those aristocratic families to help, but they are causing trouble." It's very powerful when it rises. It's not easy to return to Yizhou from Bingzhou, Liu Yizhou, do you think I'm right?"

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Liu Yizhou's face became even more gloomy. He had already thought of this possibility. At that time, he thought that after Wang Yue was destroyed, Qi would be in chaos. He could then go to Yanzhou and Xuzhou and return to Yangzhou. , and then together with his troops in Jingzhou, he took Yangzhou as his own.

Just hearing what Wang Yue said, he suddenly thought of a problem. If Wang Yue died, his going to Qi would definitely cause revenge. It would be very difficult to think of Yangzhou.

When Wang Yue saw that Liu Xingzhi was silent, he said coldly, "Liu Xingzhi, don't forget one thing. Even if I die here and my father and son are still in Langya, Qi will not fall into turmoil. If you want to leave, That is impossible within the territory of Qi State. Moreover, if you retreat to one side now, I can guarantee that my 80,000 troops will not attack your side."

After listening to Wang Yue's words, Liu Xingzhi knew what Wang Yue meant, that is, if he did not agree, Wang Yue would lead his troops to attack in his direction until he was crippled, that is, even if he died. Need a backrest.

If his soldiers and horses are disabled, it will not be easy to return to Yizhou or Yangzhou.

So, he waved his hand, and then silently rode back to his team. Then the entire Yizhou soldiers and horses retreated silently, and soon disappeared from sight, but You can vaguely see that they are not too far away.

Wang Yue didn't care at all about Liu Xingzhi's withdrawal. He waved his hand gently and called Wang San over.

When Wang San saw Wang Yue calling him, he quickly called him. He asked solemnly, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Wang Yue took out several bamboo tubes from his horse, then unplugged one of the bamboo tubes, took a large package from it and handed it to Wang San and other personal guards, and then said solemnly, "Now while the wind is strong, you can bring Let's guard together and be at the front when we charge, but when we charge, remember to open the bottle in advance."

When Wang San saw that Wang Yue had given him the precious bottle, he thought of the very smelly antidote, and said with a bitter look on his face, "My lord, why don't you find someone else to do it? The antidote is really smelly." .”

As soon as Wang Yue saw a black line on his forehead, he asked coldly, "What did you just say?"

Wang San couldn't help but shudder, and then said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I didn't say anything. I promise to complete the mission."

Wang Yue nodded, waved his hand, and told this guy to go quickly. As a prince, he didn't complain. This Wang San was itchy.

After the coalition forces waited for Liu Xingzhi to leave, a new team immediately blocked the gap, giving Wang Yue no chance to escape.

In fact, Wang Yue had no intention of running away at all. He just wanted to use Liu Xingzhi's withdrawal to judge how many enemies there were?

Now the number is very clear. In addition to Liu Yizhou's Sichuan army, the enemy's number is probably hundreds of thousands, and judging from the most comprehensive team of the opponent, they are all heavy armored infantry.

Fortunately, Wang Yue had been prepared, otherwise they would not have been able to break through the defense line of these heavy armored infantry, and Wang Yue and his men would have been wiped out by the endless rain of arrows.

Seeing that Wang San was ready, Wang Yue waved his hand, and the 70,000 to 80,000 troops he led moved.

Because Taiyuan City has been ignited with raging flames, but Wang Yue is blocked at the east gate of Taiyuan City. The west wind is very strong at this moment, which is a good time to use the Sad Breeze.

As Wang Yue's side moved, the enemy soldiers and horses were also ready. The heavy armored infantry had already set up their shields, and the archers at the rear had drawn their bows. They were waiting for Wang Yue's soldiers and horses to approach and give them a head-on attack. .

But what was very strange about the scene was that when Wang Yue's soldiers and horses still had a chance to shoot, the archers at the rear suddenly shot arrows, and the heavy armored infantry in the front fell to the ground one by one.

Seeing this scene, Wang San knew what he was doing. He couldn't follow Wang Yue's orders, so he shouted, "The enemy is afraid, soldiers, charge at me!"

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he drew out his sword and rushed forward quickly, quickly approaching the enemy's camp.

The enemy camp was now in chaos. All the soldiers in the direction of Wang Yue's advance always fell to the ground inexplicably. Even Fan Xuan, who retreated to the middle, fell off his horse inexplicably. The guards around him wanted to It was too late to rescue them, and everyone fell to the ground.

Seeing this kind of situation, Zhou Gaolang, who was supervising the battle on one side, rushed over quickly. He couldn't let Fan Xuan die among the rebels, but he couldn't get close at all, so he was held hostage by his frightened men. Withdrew.

It's just that this weird situation will produce a kind of fear. The coalition forces all thought that Wang Yue's soldiers and horses had some kind of witchcraft, so they didn't dare to stop the Qi army.

Wang Yue's leading troops were all cavalry, and after easily penetrating the enemy's formation, they gained space for impact.

As a result, Wang Yue and Wang Sansan formed two teams, quickly made a big circle, and at the same time increased their horse speed, and then rushed towards the coalition forces on both sides, still in the direction of the wind.

However, Wang Yue and Wang San did not dare to rush too deep, fearing that the effect of the sad breeze would also envelope the previous soldiers and horses.

A strange situation happened again. All the coalition soldiers in front of the cavalry collapsed to the ground without resistance and could only be slaughtered.

The soldiers who were still fighting hard no longer paid attention to the military orders and began to run away one by one.

The generals of the coalition forces could no longer command the soldiers, and the generals of Qi State soon seized the opportunity and tore several holes from both sides.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yue and Wang San unanimously ordered their men to close the lid of Sad Breeze.

The only difference between Wang Yue and Wang San is that after Wang San covered the block, he began to attack the coalition forces that were still resisting.

But Wang Yue led the cavalry to stop in front of the Yizhou soldiers and horses to prevent them from joining the battle.
