Chapter 93 Battle of Fushui

When Hu Yang exited the camp, he could already see clearly the banner of Zhao Jun's general in the morning light. He was not in a hurry, maintaining the square formation and retreating slowly. Then he heard the drums stop, indicating that Zhao Jun had entered the Qin Dynasty.

Hu Yang saw that Zhao Jun was not pursuing fiercely, so he let the rear camp relax a little and marched forward instead.

On the way, he met the sentinel sent by Wang Hao's personal camp. Hu Yang knew that Wang Hao and Sima Jin's personal camp were in front, so he felt relieved and let the team of sentinels lead the front army to move quickly. He took the soldiers from Ye County with him.

People are last.

In the battle just now, Zheng Anping and Chen Si both joined the Yexian formation, but they were not at the front, so they did not gain anything. After coming down from the Taihang Mountains, Chen Si's physical condition gradually improved, and everyone thought that he was acclimatized.

, but he didn't poop or vomit, and he couldn't figure out the reason. His map drawing did not stop because the troops were stranded. In addition to letting him contact the soldiers back and forth, Hu Yang specially arranged for people to escort him around Wu'an.

Traveling everywhere, even entering and exiting Handan and the Great Wall quietly, leaving behind many geographical maps, I can say that I know the topography of Wu'an very well.

The civilian army in Ye County was designated by Hu Yang as a pro-camp. Chen Si was a quasi-martial soldier and Zheng Anping was a martial soldier. They were rare "professional soldiers" in the pro-camp and had a high title. Hu Yang asked Zheng Anping to choose a soldier.

One hundred people were trained according to the method of military soldiers. They went out for reconnaissance and liaison in peacetime. They served as a special reserve team in wartime and were called "personal guards." Zheng Anping selected soldiers according to Wu Qi's method of selecting military soldiers, and only dozens of people could meet the requirements.

Requirements; we can only lower the standards and barely get together a hundred people.

The important source of combat effectiveness of warriors is the three-layer leather armor, which ensures that warriors are difficult to kill on the battlefield, but Qin soldiers don't wear much armor; the core weapon is the crossbow, and Qin soldiers' use of crossbows is very basic.

The close combat skills of warriors are long-armed fighting, mainly spears, halberds, and swords, especially halberds, which have the characteristics of both spears and swords. The weapons used in infantry warfare are different from those in chariot warfare, but Zheng Anping, in his detailed introduction,

He happened to have learned chariot combat, and was able to integrate the use of weapons in chariot combat and infantry combat, forming his own set of characteristics. He taught his own set of martial arts to these one hundred people. In the battle just now, these one hundred people

Several people also shot down Zhao Jun.

Now, Hu Yang asked others to speed up and retreat first with the sentinels. He led a thousand people at the end to prevent Zhao Jun from pursuing. But they only saw Zhao Jun's sentinels and did not see Zhao Jun chasing after him. Hu Yang

Yang led his men to march two or three miles behind the front team, and finally met up with Wang Lu's camp. On the way, the officials quietly reported the battle plan discussed by several people to Hu Yang. Hu Yang was a little hesitant, but

It was hard to say anything, so he just said, "Come back!"

When Hu Yang arrived at the Fushui River, the first two thousand people had already crossed the river. Hu Yang could clearly see them forming a team on the other side of the river. There was a big bridge on the river and two temporary pontoons. On both sides of the bridge were Sima Jin's relatives.

Even if the Zhao army came to chase him, Hu Yang could cross the river calmly. Hu Yang asked his two battalions to cross the river separately from the pontoon bridge, and asked Wang Lu's personal camp to walk across the bridge. The official said: "I wish to be more independent."

Cross the bridge."

Hu Yang said: "You will introduce me to the fifth doctor!" He crossed the river with Wang Lu's camp. The camp brought him to Wang Lu.

Wang Hao's tent was set up in a house one mile away from the river. Bing Cao and Sima Jin were also here. Everyone saw each other and sighed. Hu Yang introduced the situation of the battle this morning to everyone. Everyone was very impressed with Hu Yang.

They expressed their admiration and introduced the battle plan they had drawn up with on-the-spot guidance.

Hu Yang asked: "Why must the Zhao people pass through this?"

Bing Cao said: "Several volumes of books were obtained in Wucheng. One of the volumes is a map of Handan's reinforcements, indicating that this is where the troops are stationed." When Hu Yang heard that there was such a treasure in the city, he immediately asked to see it. Unfortunately, they

He didn't take them with him. Hu Yang was eager to read these books, so Wang Hao arranged a leather carriage for him. He asked Zheng Anping and Chen Si to quickly return to the city with the one hundred guards, and told Wang Hao to keep reading.

After sentry scouting the movements of Zhao's army, he, Sima Jin and Bing Cao rode back to the city in a car.

In just a moment, the car entered Wucheng. After entering Wucheng, Hu Yang did not bother to rest, and immediately took the album and looked at it carefully. Gongzi Zhen and Dianke Zhonglang heard that Hu Yang had returned to the city, and they also came to see him. Everyone

After a brief chat, we sat down together and started studying the album.

Unlike Wang Lu and others, Hu Yang had plenty of free time in Wu'an, and in his free time he looked at the topographic map drawn by Chen Si. With the topographic map of the Great Wall painted by Chen Si as a basis, Hu Yang could understand the true meaning of this map without the need for on-the-spot investigation.

There was nothing wrong with Bingcao's understanding, but the decision was a bit hasty and not carefully considered. Hu Yang asked Sima Jin to send out sentries to all the locations marked with garrison on the map. How could Sima Jin say: "Qin soldiers have never entered this place.

, how to know? "

Although Chen Si and Zheng Anping came back from running, they have not arrived yet. Hu Yang could only rely on the two thousand people of Sima Jin in the city. He asked Zhonglang: "Among the pedestrians, are there any who know the route well?"

Bing Cao suddenly said: "Whenever the young master comes out, the path is the clearest. But within the Great Wall..."

Young Master Zhen said: "This is the youngest child. He is very naughty and mischievous. He is afraid of making mistakes!"

Hu Yang said: "The military situation is urgent, I hope you will take charge of it!"

Prince Zhen rushed over and asked for all the princes to come with him. Zhonglang also called for the travelers. Hu Yang silently memorized the names of the places and collected the albums. When everyone arrived, he asked: "There are five places, and they are all important.

Who can know it? "He named the five places one by one.

After telling the names of these places, some passers-by claimed several places. Only the young master said: "Of these five places, three are on the mountainside and two are on the Zhangshui River. They are all passages in and out of the Great Wall. Anyone who enters or exits the Great Wall must use these five places.

Once the road comes out, all other roads are difficult to follow. It is also difficult to find it, but there is a bridge on the water of Fu."

Hu Yang was overjoyed when he saw the young master saying this to a foreigner, and said: "But please give me some instructions!"

The stranger pointed out the five roads one by one. Hu Yang asked: "Is it clear?" Several passers-by said: "What you said is true. These roads are also clear to me!"

Hu Yang said: "I would like Doctor Sima to send sentinels from all walks of life to various places." Sima Jin immediately asked each traveler to come out and guide a hundred people each to divide the sentries into five groups. When Sima Jin came back, everyone dispersed, Hu Yang said.

Yang was still bending over his desk to read the books and brochures carefully, and suddenly asked: "How many if so?"

Sima Jin said: "There are countless of them in the treasury!"

Hu Yang said: "This is an important thing and cannot be left behind. Let's go and take a look at it!"

So Sima Jin took Bing Cao, Gongzi Zhen and others to the palace. He saw simple books and books, divided into categories, and filled the whole room. Hu Yang picked out the scrolls one by one, and put them all on the table without taking a closer look.

He also took out the grain depot, arsenal accounts, soldiers on the Great Wall, land sales, merchants and city taxes...all the relevant slips and rolls were taken out and placed on the case. There was actually a table on the case. Official documents and other correspondence were discarded and ignored.

At this time, Zheng Anping and Chen Si arrived with the one hundred personal guards.

When he heard that Chen Si had arrived, Hu Yang was overjoyed. In addition to asking Sima Jin to arrange for the guards to rest, he ordered Chen Si to come over quickly. After Chen Si arrived, he looked through these albums and found that he could read the languages ​​​​of various countries without the need for others to explain.

Naturally, I was overjoyed when I saw it clearly at a glance. So I traced it with my fingers to clearly explain the key points of the Great Wall.

After Chen Si finished speaking, it was reported from outside that the rear had arrived. Sima Jin took the initiative to go out and arrange for the soldiers to camp and guard the territory. When he came back, Hu Yang stared at the map and said in deep thought: "If I use troops, I must

Coming out of the mountains, diagonally entering the Great Wall, cutting off my return path. If you go south by pouring water, you have nothing to fear!"

Sima Jin followed Hu Yang's guidance and moved to the far left of the map. There was a garrison there, and a mountain road led directly to the Great Wall. Sima Jin knew that in that direction, the Qin army was unguarded, and the Zhao army was about to enter uninhabited territory.

He asked nervously: "Is it my fault? What can I do?"

Hu Yang said: "It's not your fault, it's your minister's. You can order Doctor Wang to lead half of the men and horses, and advance rapidly by land and water. We must occupy the bridge fifteen miles upstream!" Sima Jin responded with a grunt and was about to pass on the order. Hu Yang stopped him and said:

"Wait a minute! I would like the young master to go with me and lead the army to the west bridge of Fu River. Is that okay?"

Young Master Yiren said: "I sincerely follow my teachings!"

Young Master Zhen shouted: "But if there is a delay, we must take military orders!"

The young master said: "Here!"

Although he adjusted his deployment, Hu Yang always felt uneasy. He pointed at the pile of books and said to Sima Jin: "I hope the doctor will send someone to send this album and slips across Zhang to prevent them from being lost. It will be of great use in the future!" Sima Jin said

Jin didn't know why, but he knew that these things were of great use and were probably the same as the map, so he sent a hundred people from his camp to send these books across the river overnight and handed them over to Dr. Gong. He made sure to have a good life.

Preserve them so as not to lose them. Hu Yang asked Chen Si to cross the river with this batch of books and keep these books on the spot.

After being busy, Hu Yang had time to calm down and think about what happened today. He felt that Zhao Jun, who followed him later, was extraordinary. He could calm down under such circumstances and decisively gave up chasing him and let him enter the Great Wall. He

In fact, a thought has flashed through my mind: How about not fighting this battle at all and just crossing the river. But the army of 20,000 retreated without a fight and gained nothing. This time it was considered in vain: those who went out to battle

The officers and soldiers collectively failed! Therefore, the idea of ​​​​fighting a war finally prevailed.

At this moment, a military envoy came to report that the front army led by Dr. Wang had detected the Zhao army coming straight to Fushui; it had been discovered that the general was none other than Zhao Shangqing Lian Po! After hearing the news, Hu Yang sent someone to follow up the previous order.

He also sent an order to Wang Lu: The order to divide the troops was cancelled, and he was ordered to fight the battle at the Fushui River with concentration and retreat immediately!

At this time, nearby sentinels reported that Xishan found that Zhao Jun was crossing the river, with about ten thousand people! In addition to hundreds of people who had already crossed the bridge, they were building a bridge on the river.
