Chapter 554: Hunting (4)

Zhang Xian was in the Black Flag Army, and when he saw that the victory was decided, he retreated with Uncle Tai's second Qin, Zhang Bao and Xiao Fei. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, more than 1,500 people from the guard battalion rushed over, and they were able to come over so quickly, thanks to the sailors who sent another 10,000 horses from the 'Apocalypse Army'.

Zhang Hui was in a hurry, so he borrowed 1,500 war horses from the navy, and then rushed over in advance.

Zhang Xian's face changed when he saw it, and he reprimanded Zhang Hui, told them to quickly dismount, and sent five hundred people to take care of it, waiting for the sailor army to send horses to the 'Apocalypse Army'.

The soldiers of the 'Apocalypse Army' took their mounts like their own brothers, and no one was allowed to use them without the consent of the master, Zhang Hui's behavior was a big taboo, and Zhang Xian had to apologize to others after the war.

This time it was not a long-distance attack, the 'Apocalypse Army' just brought a horse to battle, and the rest of the water army was responsible for ferrying them across the river and sending them to Chishui Pass.

Zhang Xian and Zhang Yu know about the 'Apocalypse Army', so Zhang Yu would rather run than use other people's war horses, Zhang Xian also did not use other people's war horses, only Zhang Hui is not clear, the main reason is that Zhang Hui felt that this time in the battle, the guard battalion dragged his feet, very aggrieved, and wanted to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to vent, because he was the head of the king's guard battalion, so the person in charge of escorting the war horse did not dare to talk much, did not dare to refuse, so he made such a mistake.

The matter had already come out, and it was too late to say anything, and after Zhang Xian trained Zhang Hui a few words, he asked him to lead people to follow him to run in the direction of Beihe.

Zhang Hui didn't understand why he didn't go to fight the Qin army, but he had to march north, but he made a mistake just now and was reprimanded, so he didn't talk too much and just listened to orders.

Zhang Xian took the guard battalion to the north, and soon after they left, the two teams of the 'wolf hunters' merged into one and galloped towards the north like the wind.

On Chishui City, Long Xinfang looked at the Qin army that was receding like the tide, twisting his long beard in his hand, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a young general of the coalition army stepped forward to ask for battle, and he wanted to lead people to take the opportunity to counterattack, because he couldn't see that under the arrival of several reinforcements, the Qin army would be defeated, and the city was sending a military horse to counterattack, which would definitely accelerate the defeat of the Qin army.

So he was anxious to fight.

Long Xinfang could see that the young general was eager to make meritorious contributions, he turned around and nodded at the young general, and praised a few words, after all, this young general was brave and brave just now, and he was a fierce general.

Then he changed his head and said with a smile.

"Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city?"

He didn't know this, but he knew that there should be no less than five thousand people.

"We are more than 5,000 people in Chishui City, 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, 2,000 farmers who volunteered to help defend the city pass, more than 2,000 people were lost in the previous battle, and now there are less than 1,000 soldiers left, and the farmers are not injured much, if you want to fight, I can't send troops." ”

Long Xinfang's words made the young general stunned.

Thinking about it, I can't help but be afraid, just now tens of thousands of Qin troops attacked the city fiercely, and the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city turned out to be 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and 2,000 farmers who had never played with swords and guns at all.

After a few hours of defending the city, more than 2,000 people were killed, and only less than 1,000 weak brigades remained、、、,.

He wiped the cold sweat from his face, looked at the commander-in-chief in front of him, and didn't know what to say.

The scribe was too bold.

The marquis of the Bashu Kingdom came over and patted the young general's shoulder and smiled.

"Hehe, boy, I've seen it, if you want to become a famous general, you still have a lot to learn, and if you want to win a battle, you can't do it by being brave alone, you have to rely on this. ”

Hou Ye pointed to his head.

The young man stepped aside in shame.

Long Xinfang lay on the gap in the city wall and looked out of the city, and suddenly turned around and beckoned the young general to come over.

"You look closely, and you see what you have to say. ”

The young general looked at it for a while, and suddenly his face turned pale, and the cold sweat that had just disappeared came out again.

It turned out that Guan Ting received an order from the Marquis of Jinyang to withdraw from the battle, and led people to move closer to the Marquis of Jinyang, but Guan Ting secretly ambushed a strong force pretending to be a dead man mixed in the corpse, according to his idea, the coalition army defending the city saw that they were defeated, and they would definitely send people out of the city to pursue, and the people he ambushed after the coalition army passed, took the opportunity to snatch the city gate that had been unblocked, and this trick was seventy percent sure that it would succeed.

Long Xinfang didn't see it at first, if he really had the ability to fight in the city, maybe he would be in the middle of the plan.

For this hunting battle, Long Xinfang sent out all the strongest combat forces, and also borrowed 10,000 local troops from Baling Kingdom, that is, the miscellaneous army of the garrisons of the small cities on the north bank of the North River.

But even so, the coalition army was still weaker than the Qin army.

The people who guarded the Chishui Pass were part of the original guards, and the rest were wounded by the various departments of the coalition army, logistics, and even some people who could not participate in the battle due to illness were invited, so they gathered enough 3,000 people, and after the Chishui Pass, those villages and towns learned that the Qin army had killed, and many young people volunteered to help defend the city.

Because they had already touched the weapons at all, they would only increase the casualties, so they asked them to help carry the equipment for defending the city, and transport arrows and other materials.

Long Xinfang dared to use these old, weak, sick and disabled to defend the city, because he had the advanced equipment provided by Zhang Xian to defend the city, these soldiers don't look at the old, weak, sick and disabled, but they have all been baptized by the war, they are veterans, they know how to use all kinds of large weapons, they don't have to go into battle to fight.

But even so, under the long-range attack of the Qin army's trebuchets and crossbows, there were also great losses, especially in the end, Guan Ting led people to rush to the city wall, and at the critical moment, these old, weak, sick and disabled also fought.

This battle alone cost the veterans half of their losses.

But no matter what, under the fight of some of the generals sent to help in the war, the danger was finally turned into safety.

If Guan Ting knew the situation in the city and held on for a while, and the Marquis of Jinyang sent some more people to support, Chishui Guan was afraid that it would really be taken.

The young general wanted to fight, Long Xinfang had no soldiers to send, Guan Ting's plan lost its effect, the ambush soldiers waited for a while, and saw that no one came out of the city at all, so they had to get up and chase the brigade that broke through to the north.

This scene happened to be seen by Long Xinfang, who was observing the battle situation, and he was also chuckling in his heart, with cold sweat overflowing, and he was frightened.

He was very kind to the young general, called him over, and gave him some advice.

But as the marquis of Bashu said, fighting a war is not just a brave word to win a war, but relying on wisdom and courage.

Long Xinfang is such a wise person, not only did he almost catch the road of Guanting, but fortunately, there were no soldiers and horses in Guancheng to go out of the city to pursue.

"Order, don't slack off, and closely monitor the movements of the Qin army. ”

Long Xinfang slammed the wall buttress and ordered.
