Chapter 1655: Blocking
"However, if you don't chase after it, it is very likely that the Chu army will escape. Guo Ling asked rhetorically, last time in Nanyang, he led 40,000 Qin troops to attack Wancheng, and the troops had even been killed in the city, and it only took a stick of incense to occupy the whole city, but he was repelled by the full cang who returned to help, and he had no choice but to spit out the "meat in his mouth".
"In this way, you lead 20,000 people in pursuit, the speed can be fast, but you can't be careless, the Chu army will definitely ambush us on the road, I don't want unnecessary casualties. Wang Li commanded.
"Wow. ”
"Wait a minute. Just as Guo Ling was about to leave, Wang Li suddenly stopped him.
"General, what else do you command. ”
"It's better for me to personally lead the troops there, pass the order, take my guard army, organize 30,000 troops, and chase and kill the Chu army. Wang Li seemed to have made up his mind, and his tone was very firm, so that Guo Ling didn't react for a while.
"This ...... General, the retreat of the Chu army is a mountain road, which is not conducive to the development of the army, on the contrary, it is suitable for the Chu army to ambush, you are the commander of the whole army, how can you personally take risks. Guo Ling persuaded him.
"Haha, I've been through a hundred battles, why not be afraid of the terrain, Brother Guo, you shouldn't know who commanded the Chu army and we have been in a stalemate for four days. ”
"This ...... The last general only knew that the commander of the Chu army was Huo Ziqing, he was Mi Wen's henchman, and he did have some skills and was a good general, but the arrangement of troops was too orderly, and he was okay with strategizing, but it was difficult to surprise troops, so he ...... The last general didn't think he was a famous general. ”
"You're right, it's very pertinent, if you encounter a tough battle like the wolf clan, then Huo Ziqing, who is proficient in arranging troops, should be an excellent general, but if he faces a cunning opponent, he will be a little insufficient. Wang Li said lightly, "Since you don't know, then I'll tell you that in the past four days, the general who commanded the Chu army was Ye Shikai, as well as his subordinates, including Mancang, who repelled you in Wancheng." ”
"What, it's them, it's really a narrow road. Hearing this news, Guo Ling was also gloomy, the battle of Nanyang, Ye Shikai's prestige spread all over the world, but it was Wang Li, as Wang Qian's grandson, after the gate, but he was beaten and evacuated, not to mention the counterattack on the Chu army, even Nanyang was not saved, Guo Ling, as a deputy general, was naturally unwilling to suffer this great humiliation, so as soon as he heard that the commander on the opposite side was Ye Shikai, he immediately showed his fighting spirit.
"Yes, Ye Shikai, originally a little-known little person, took advantage of the war between the empire and the wolf clan and rose step by step, fought a few victories, and accidentally saved Meng Tian, and got his appreciation, and that Mancang, when the Seven Kingdoms were Wei Wushu officers of the Wei State, made a lot of military achievements, after the Wei State was destroyed, he was reduced to forced labor, and also took advantage of the wolf clan war, he was used as a prisoner soldier, and was promoted by Ye Shikai, step by step to become the current Manchu general. ”
"I didn't expect the general to know them so well, and the general admired them. Guo Ling said.
"As a general, if you can't know yourself and your opponent, you are a mediocre general, not to mention, this is our second meeting, for anyone who has defeated me, I will investigate him, understand him, understand his weaknesses, and then I can defeat him. ”
"Back then, 50,000 Wei Wushu elite defeated 500,000 Qin army, Wei Wushu also shocked the world, Ye Shikai applied Wei Wushu's training method to himself, and created the Iron Armor Army, led by Mancang, most of the achievements he achieved were from the hands of the Iron Army, including this time to defend the village, only four or five thousand Iron Armor Army, it was difficult for the 30,000 elites I personally trained to step into the Chu Army camp. ”
"So this time, I have to take action personally, if I let it go any longer, Ye Shikai will eventually become a big disaster for the empire. ”
"The last general understands, this will lead the troops to attack, and if Ye Shikai is not captured, the last general will come to see him. ”
…………………………………………………………
"Tell the general, the Qin army is marching at full speed, and the five thousand iron cavalry of the vanguard are less than fifteen miles away from the rear guard of our army. ”
"The Qin army came really fast. Mancang hid in the grass on the side, and the remaining ironclad soldiers were lying in ambush on the left and right, stretching their bows and arrows, aiming at the road up the mountain, everyone held their breath, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the air......
Drive, drive, call......
"The Qin army is here, release the arrows. ”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
"Tripping. ”
The ironclad army fired 10,000 arrows, shot the Qin cavalry in the front row into a "sieve", in the dark night, stretched out his hand and couldn't see the five fingers, only the faint moonlight illuminated, Mancang had already set up an ambush here, the ground was full of tripping horses, just waiting for the Qin army to arrive, surprise, attack it unprepared, in the dark, the cavalry was difficult to distinguish the trap on the ground, many people were hit by the tripping horse, directly even the people and horses fell down, the ground was also arranged a deep pit, covered with straw, people stepped on it, they would fall in, and were stabbed to death by the sharp blade inside......
"Go with me and kill them. Mancang shouted, thousands of people rushed out from the side, holding spears and knives, stabbing at the Qin army who fell off the horse, and the sergeants holding the long shield lined up in formation, the road up the mountain was already rugged and narrow, Mancang killed the Qin army by surprise, and laid down the military formation, as if an "iron wall" had been erected.
"Brethren, do not panic. Seeing this, Guo Ling immediately commanded the Qin army at the scene, these are the elite under Wang Li's command, the Wang family's personal soldiers, well-trained, panicked is only temporary, and soon he came to his senses, turned his horse's head, and opened the distance between him and the ironclad army.
"Change the armor-piercing arrow and shoot the Chu army. ”
"Wow. ”
"Wow. ”
………………………………………………………………
"Old Ye, the pursuing Qin army is very fast, and now it has fought with the ironclad army. ”
"How is the war? Ye Shikai led the forward battalion and the cavalry team in front, although he was not at the scene, he could hear the shouts of the two armies fighting.
"It's not clear, but the Qin army is very numerous, and they are all elite, and the ironclad army and the guard battalion are not enough, so I'm afraid they won't be able to resist for long. Shangguan Jian continued, "Lao Ye, if I take the guards back to meet them, you take the rest of the people to join General Huo quickly, as long as you cross the cave, the troops will be safe." ”
"It's fine, but you have to pay attention to safety, and retreat quickly after the warehouse is full. Ye Shikai advised, Wang Li's speed was still much faster than he expected, and he also expected that Wang Li would send elite horses, intending to annihilate them all, naturally he was also very worried, although the terrain on the mountain was easy to attack and difficult to defend, but it could only delay the offensive of the Qin army, if it was to take turns to attack, the ironclad army and the guard battalion were definitely not the opponents of the Qin army.
