Battle of Maling: Kill Pang Juan, cripple Wei Wupao, and seriously injure Wei Guo

In 351 BC, King Hui of Wei and Marquis Chenghou of Zhao formed an alliance at the Zhanghe River and withdrew from the capital of the Zhao state, Handan, and king Qi Wei released Pang Juan to return to the State of Wei. Although large-scale wars between the major powers have ceased, the world is full of storms.

Time went back, and in 361 BC King Hui of Wei overlooked a great talent that could change the pattern of the world. At that time, the uncle of the Duke of Wei was critically ill, and King Hui of Wei went to visit.

King Hui of Wei asked his uncle who could be the Xiangguo after him.

Uncle Gong recommended his subordinate Gongsun Martingale, and King Hui of Wei was displeased, believing that Uncle Gongsun was confused and did not reuse Gongsun Martingale.

After the death of His Uncle Gong, Gongsun Martin buried Gong Gong Gong, and soon after hearing that Qin Xiaogong had asked for merit, he went to the State of Qin to seek an official. Later, Gongsun Martingale promoted the change of law in the Qin state and was sealed in Shangdi, which was later called Shangmartin.

Because King Hui of Wei failed to reuse gongsun martingale, it laid a huge hidden danger for the State of Wei. Shang Martin not only made the Qin state stronger, but also became a time bomb beside the Wei state. Moreover, Shang Martin was not hindered by the State of Wei for the east of the State of Qin, and provoked the relations between the State of Wei and the countries of the East.

After the State of Qin became stronger, Shang Martingale lobbied King Hui of Wei and said, "The strength of the State of Wei is undoubtedly the strongest, and my State of Qin is willing to support the State of Wei, so you might as well convene a meeting of princes and go to the Marquis to claim the title of King." ”

Shang Martin constantly induced King Hui of Wei to convene a princely alliance similar to Qi Huan Jinwen, in order to provoke relations between the State of Wei and the eastern states, thus weakening the State of Wei by the hand of other countries.

After the Battle of Guiling, King Hui of Wei realized that when the State of Wei was about to annex the State of Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Qin all had military frictions with the State of Wei. Therefore, he may realize that although the State of Wei is strong enough, it is not strong enough to fight against the world, and emulating Qi Huan Jinwen to dominate is undoubtedly a good choice, but King Hui of Wei is not satisfied with the title of Ba (Bo), so he is called king.

In 344 BC, King Hui of Wei convened a general assembly of princes at Fengze. However, at that time, the princes of the world came to Fengze to participate in the meeting of the princes, but Korea followed the State of Qi to sing the opposite tune and did not attend the meeting of the princes.

King Hui of Wei was furious and picked the soft persimmon pinch of Korea, so Wei Guo sent troops to attack Korea. After five battles and five defeats, South Korea sent emissaries to the State of Qi for help.

The reason why South Korea dared not to go to the Meeting of Fengze was because it secretly reached an anti-Wei alliance with the State of Qi. After all, there was a big tiger lying next to Wei Guo, who could not be afraid, even the powerful Zhao Guo was obediently subdued to participate in the Meeting of Feng Ze, so South Korea had to think about itself.

However, without strength, even if there is a covenant in black and white, it is useless. South Korea continued to send emissaries to the State of Qi for help, but the State of Qi wanted to make wei and Han consume each other. At that time, not only the State of Qi, but also the countries of Qin, Chu, and Zhao were also unambiguous, all rubbing their fists and preparing to beat up the "falling water dog".

South Korea can only have bitterness, gritting its teeth and swallowing into its stomach, if the trend of South Korea's annihilation is obvious, several major powers do not mind dividing up South Korea.

After five defeats in five battles, Korea was no longer able to resist the State of Wei. The State of Qi also finally decided to rescue South Korea, after all, if South Korea was destroyed, the greatest benefit would be the State of Wei.

After the defeat of Wei Wupao at the Battle of Guiling, the State of Qi personally experienced the strength of Wei Wupao, so he mobilized the strength of the whole country and trained a killer skill.

The State of Qi not only sent a large number of troops to aid Korea in attacking Wei this time, but also threw all the ace troops of the Technicians into the attack, which shows the determination of the State of Qi and the inevitable determination to compete with the State of Wei.

At this time, Pang Juan led the Wei army to attack Korea, and saw the State of Qi rushing towards the capital of the State of Wei, Daliang. Wei Guo immediately gave up this piece of fat meat from Korea to the mouth, and Pang Juan immediately led his army back to defense.

After all, Wei Guo attacked Korea because Korea did not give Wei Guo face and did not attend the meeting of Feng Ze. However, if you think about it carefully, at that time, South Korea was far inferior to Zhao Guo, so why did it dare not give Wei Guo face? If South Korea does not have the support of the State of Qi, where does South Korea, which has always been "docile", dare to touch the tiger's ass?

Wei Guo immediately led his troops back to the defense, not only worried that this time the huge Qi army would play a real game, but also directly attacked the capital of the country. Moreover, breaking through the weak South Korea is not enough to show the strength of the wei hegemon, and breaking through the state of Qi can shock the nations again and submit to the state of Wei, and then the fat meat of Korea will have to obediently run into the bowl.

And Qi Guo still went to wei to save Zhao's script, but it deduced a new wonderful picture.

When Sun Bin saw Pang Juan's defense, he did not consider the problem of face at all, and turned around and ran.

After Pang Juan returned to Daliang, King Hui of Wei was furious, not only because Pang Juan disregarded the king's orders during the Battle of Guiling, but also because Pang Juan's attitude of defense was negative this time, once again challenging the authority of King Hui of Wei. Therefore, King Hui of Wei, with Crown Prince Shen as his commander, joined forces with Pang Juan to pursue the Qi army with 100,000 troops.

King Hui of Wei took Prince Shen, who did not have much actual combat, as his commander, and gave up Pang Juan, who was a military talent, which was undoubtedly a mistake in decision-making.

Although Sun Bin continued to retreat, he hung wei guo's appetite, so that wei guo could not fight and was unwilling to retreat.

Pang Juan was well aware of Sun Zhen's strength, and feared that Crown Prince Shen would act recklessly and fall into Sun Zhen's trap, so he sent a large number of scouts (spies) to enhance the reconnaissance of the aligned army.

Sun Bing also knew that it was difficult for Pang Juan to plant two heels in the same place, so he constantly increased his weight and worked hard to show Qi Jun's cowardice. When he was about to withdraw from the territory of the State of Wei, Sun Bin made another surprise move. On the first day, qi jun buried 100,000 cooking stoves, which were reduced to 50,000 on the second day and 30,000 on the third day.

Because the Qi people are rich, the Qi people are extremely desperate for their lives, and they are very weak on the battlefield, so the weakness of the Qi army is a well-known thing in the world. When he saw that the Qi army was constantly reducing the stove, Pang Juan was overjoyed and believed that the Qi army had collapsed.

Then two days of good news made Pang Juan lose his original caution, and in order to facilitate the battle, Pang Juan independently led the elite troops to pursue the Qi army day and night.

Sun Bin set up an ambush at Maling, and with the help of the terrain, a large number of crossbowmen hid in the dense forest on both sides of the narrow Maling Road. In order to prevent the Wei army from retreating, Sun Bin ambushed the Qi ace troops at the mouth of the Maling Gorge.

At dusk, when the sky was dark, Pang Juan came to Maling. Pang Juan, who was anxious to win, did not care about the dangerous terrain of Maling.

Maling Road is long and narrow, lined with mountains that are excellent ambush sites.

Pang Juan plunged headlong into Maling Road, and nearly halfway through Maling Road, dead wood fell, hindering the Wei army's advance.

Sun Bin immediately ordered the crossbows to be fired in unison, and the unsuspecting Wei Wu pawns fell one after another. After the rain of arrows, the strategists hiding on both sides of the Maling Road and at the entrance of the Maling Road rushed towards the Wei army, blocking the way for Wei Wu to go before and after.

Pang Juan became the "turtle in the urn", and Wei Wushu could only charge forward with his flesh and blood. Although Wei Wu was brave, the Qi army set up a number of barriers.

Since Wei Wupao, who was the best at attacking strong points, kept falling under the countless barriers of the Qi Army. The final generation of mythical Wei Wu pawns fell from the altar at Maling.

The skilled warriors of the State of Qi and the warriors of the State of Wei are all myths of a generation that make the nations tremble. Although Wei Wuzhuo was seriously injured by the strategist, it was still difficult to declare the strength and weakness of the two. After all, after years of attrition after Wei Wu was founded by Wu Qi, he was no longer in his peak state, and the martial artist was in his heyday.

After seeing the strength of Wei Wupao, all the countries began to imitate Wei Wupao and train special forces. The special forces trained by various countries may not be as good as Wei Wupao, but the gap between the two is not large. Coupled with the superiority of the terrain and the lack of enemies and the prosperity of the enemy, the defeat of Wei Wuzu was inevitable.

Moreover, the victory or defeat of the two armies in battle is not only determined by the strength of the soldiers, but also the timing, location, generals, and formations will affect the final victory or defeat.

After a while of fighting, Pang Juan saw that the general trend had gone, prepared to draw his sword and kill himself, and before dying, he said: "Then become the name of the erector!" "It means that my failure has made you boy!"

The two battles of Guiling and Maling were not only a contest between Sun Bing and Pang Juan, but also a duel between the King of Qi Wei and the State of Wei led by King Hui of Wei.

The Qi army took advantage of the victory to pursue, annihilated hundreds of thousands of Wei troops, and captured the Wei general Prince Shen, and after this battle, the Wei state was seriously injured. The nations fell one after another, and the State of Qin once again attacked the land of Hexi in the State of Wei.

Since then, the state of Wei has turned from prosperity to decline, the state of Qi has dominated the Central Plains, and the king of Qi Wei has become the second hegemon since the state of Wei.

Looking back at South Korea, this unfortunate egg not only did not benefit from the weakness of the Wei state, but was almost destroyed by the Wei state.
