Chapter Ninety-Eight: Come Home With Me
Then I took a look at the ministers, there are four generals here, namely Zhao Ju, Jing Que, E Jun, and Xiang Chengjun, and then the candidates for the main general directly exclude E Jun and Xiang Chengjun, as for Zhao Ju and Jing Que, it is natural to choose the important ministers in the court.
Xiong Huai's eyes focused on Zhao Ju and said, "Xianqing." ”
"The minister is here."
"Today's battle is still under your command, all the generals are at your disposal, if you don't obey, you can use the sword of the widow to cut it first."
As he spoke, he took the sword from his waist and handed it to Zhao Ju.
"The minister commands."
After Zhao Ju took the sword of the King of Chu, he walked to the side of the King of Chu and said to the generals: "Zhao Ying, you are still the vanguard in today's battle. ”
"It's the general." Zhao Ying arched his hand.
"E-jun, you are in charge of the left formation."
Ejun commanded: "It's the general." ”
"General Jing Que, you guard the right position."
"It's the general."
"Xiang Chengjun, leave the rear formation."
"It's the general."
After Zhaoju's arrangement, the generals of the Chu army returned to their positions and began to deploy defenses.
When the Qin-Han coalition army reached the front of the Chu army, the Chu army was already in full battle.
The 200,000 Chu army was set up in a circle, a total of 20 circles, with 10,000 elites and 20,000 levies guarding the king of Chu in the middle.
The round formation is a commonly used military formation in this era, suitable for defense, and the victory is without flaws.
Seeing the posture of the Chu army, Shen Cha felt a pimple in his heart, this battle is not easy to fight today.
If it was just the Han army and the Chu army fighting each other, and 300,000 attacked 200,000, then there would be no more than ten or even dozens of days, and it would be easy to tell the winner at all.
All that this battle could rely on was the bravery of the Qin army.
"General, the last general is invited to fight." The Qin army had arrived in front of the Chu army, and Gongzihua immediately asked for battle, and the eager look in his eyes showed that he was looking forward to it at the moment.
Zhu Li nodded and said: "Okay, with you as the vanguard, this battle will break the Chu army and kill the king of Chu, and the three armies will be ordered, and the one who kills the king of Chu will be crowned a marquis." ”
"It's a general, if you don't kill the king of Chu, the last general is willing to come to see him."
After Gongzihua finished speaking, he took the order and left.
Looking at the departed brother, he had the illusion that his brother had completely fooled him.
Breaking the Chu army is the goal and the slogan, but the world-beating achievement of killing the king of Chu is purely a slogan.
This was used to fool the soldiers desperately and intimidate the Chu army, the king of Chu, in order to form a huge pressure to disrupt the deployment of the Chu army, so as to defeat the Chu army.
Even the generals who took the lead are convinced, so will the officers and men in the army still doubt it!
He bowed his head slightly.
After Gongzihua left, Zhu Liji said to Shen Cha: "General, this battle still needs the general to go, please ask the general to attack the right formation of the Chu army." ”
"Yes, General." Shen Cha bowed.
Then the Qin army divided into three groups, one in the center and two on the left and right, and quickly approached the Chu army.
"Kill the king of Chu and seal the marquis."
After the two armies approached, with Gongzihua's loud roar, the Qin army was as if he had been injected with hormones, his eyes were red, and he rushed towards the Chu army quickly.
There are a total of twenty levels of titles in the Qin State, and the Marquis is the highest title in the Qin State, and the promotion in the Qin State depends on killing the enemy, killing one person in the early stage to upgrade to a level, and it is difficult to upgrade in the later stage, and now as long as you kill the King of Chu, you can be a marquis, and the Qin army immediately went wild.
"Kill, kill the King of Chu."
This voice of Qin Jun immediately spread throughout the battlefield.
Even if Xiong Huai was in the middle of the army, he heard the shouts of the Qin army.
"Are they crazy if they want to kill me?"
was heavily guarded by the Chu army, Xiong Huai said that he was not calm.
Chen Zhen's face changed greatly, and he said: "King, the Qin army is inspiring the soldiers, the Qin State was originally a country where the people are warlike and attach importance to military merits, and now under the stimulation of the feudal marquis, it must be extremely crazy." ”
"How crazy is it?" Xiong Huai asked.
Zhaoju at the front of the army.
"Report, general, the first formation of our army has been broken by the Qin army, and the Qin army is storming the second formation."
Zhao Ju's face was expressionless, and he said, "I know, let Zhao Ying resist." ”
"It can't last long, but it's easy to break, I want to see how long Qin Jun's breath can last."
After a while.
"General, the Qin army has broken through the second formation and is attacking the third formation."
"Got it."
"The Qin army broke through the third formation..."
Zhao Ju's face changed, it was not a big deal to be broken by the Qin army for three formations, but the problem was that the speed was too fast.
What the scout said about breaking through the military formation did not mean that the outermost military formation had collapsed, but that the formation in front was opened by the Qin army and was broken through.
"How's the left and right now?" Zhao Ju asked left and right.
Left and right replied: "General Hui, the Korean army is attacking the right position, and the Qin army is attacking the left position, and there is no news now." ”
Zhao Ju breathed a sigh of relief, no news is good news.
Now it seems that the main direction of attack of the Qin army is the front, supplemented by the two wings, and the means of encircling three and one are adopted, and the rear position is released.
Zhao Ju felt a chill in his heart, knowing the plan of the Qin army, this was to forcibly break through from the front, the purpose was to scare away the king of Chu, and as soon as the king of Chu left, the Chu army would definitely be defeated.
"General, the Qin army has broken through the fourth formation..."
···
"General, the Qin army broke through the seventh formation, the third formation on the right was broken, and the fourth formation on the left was broken."
When the front formation was almost half broken, Zhao Ju confirmed that there was no one in the rear formation, and then ordered: "Order the rear formation, order Xiang Chengjun to transfer two formations to support the front, and send another group to defend the king of Chu." ”
"No."
······
Qu Kuo battalion.
When the Qin army withdrew its troops ahead of schedule yesterday, Qu Kuo knew that reinforcements might be coming.
For this reason, scouts were sent to investigate after nightfall again, and this time the scouts successfully broke through the Qin army's defense line and opened up external contacts.
The scouts sent out really got the news of the arrival of reinforcements, and it was the king of Chu who came to help, which shocked everyone.
Then, today, the Qin army did not attack the city for the first time, which surprised everyone.
Later, the scouts reported that the Qin army was besieging the king of Chu.
When Qu Kuo received the news, he was overjoyed, surprised, and worried, and immediately gathered all the remaining 40,000 soldiers in the city who could still move, and officially announced to them:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben will get the news that our reinforcements have arrived, and it is the king himself who has come to save us."
"What, the king has come to save us!"
"The king is here!"
All the soldiers showed a look of surprise, although the news had already spread, and the general personally announced it, then there would definitely be no fake.
Waiting for everyone to digest the news, Qu Kuo continued: "Now that the main force of the Qin army has been pinned down by the king, and there is only a small group of Qin troops blocking the way on our way home, this is our opportunity and our chance to break through." ”
"There is only one thing that I will do today, and that is to take you home."
"Go home..."
For the Chu army, which has been besieged by the Qin State for more than 20 days in a row, cut off news from the outside world for more than ten days, and lost more than sixty percent, the nerves are about to collapse, and now all everyone wants is to return to their warm kennel, no war, no death, a bowl of hot rice for wives and children, it's so simple.
"Home, home, home..." Everyone yelled.
