Chapter 59: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
"It's a bow and arrow!" As soon as the soldiers of Di Qin looked up, they immediately saw a dense patch in the sky, falling towards where they were.
They are all people who deal with bows and arrows every day, and they don't understand what this is going on. For a while, everyone stopped attacking, and hurriedly went to get shields, wanting to block this wave of arrows. However, at this time, they found out that in order to pursue the Huashan Army, the heavier things on their bodies had been thrown down.
Of course, the most important thing is that even the army of the Qin people cannot achieve a shield in every hand. Among these thousands of troops, there are very few people with shields on their bodies at this moment. Coupled with the narrow terrain here, thousands of people were almost huddled together in order to break through the protective wall. In this way, under a wave of arrow rain, Di Qin immediately suffered many casualties.
"We've been tricked, and there are thieves behind us! I'll take some of my men and kill them, and you're here to guard against the thieves behind the wall! The Qin soldiers were in chaos, and those generals were also anxious, and one of the generals shouted, and when he turned his horse and took some Qin soldiers in the direction he came, he killed them back.
"Woohoo!" At this time, the second wave of attacks came again. Not only arrows, but also rolling logs and stones. It was only at this time that the Qin generals noticed that the attack did not come from the rear, but from the cliffs to the south.
"Give me a hard beating, so that none of these guys can go back!" At this time, on the top of the mountain, Tian He and six hundred people were constantly drawing bows and shooting arrows, and at the same time throwing stones and wood down.
There is a distance of more than four miles between the two protective walls, and the widest part is almost two or three miles. At this time, all these six or seven thousand enemy troops were crowded here, and they were able to shoot an enemy almost without aiming. And that mountain cliff was two or three hundred meters high, and under the condescending situation, Tian He's attack had an amazing effect.
After discovering this, the soldiers of Di Qin couldn't help but concentrate closer to Weishui, in order to avoid the attack on the mountain. But at this time, Li Xin, who was guarding behind the second protective wall, also made a move.
I saw him wave his hand back, and suddenly, a rain of arrows flew out from behind, fiercely piercing into the Qin soldiers in front of the protective wall. The soldiers who released the arrows were the other two remaining brigades of the fourth battalion under the command of Tian He, who had been hiding not far behind the second protective wall until this time.
After a few waves of arrows rained down, the morale of the Qin people was suddenly hit hard, and the damage was particularly serious. Several times, the soldiers of Di Qin wanted to attack and occupy the protective wall to solve the crisis. But Li Xin didn't give them a chance at all, and there was no way, these Di Qin people were facing sharp attacks, and they could only slowly stay away from the protective wall.
But just as they were retreating to the first protective wall, a more powerful blow came, and large stones fell from the sky, just smashing into the retreating Qin soldiers. Suddenly, the Qin soldiers were frightened, and they didn't know what was going on, and the army became even more chaotic.
"Oh no, those trebuchets of ours must have been snatched away by the thieves, and then used them against us!" As soon as they saw this scene, several of the generals of Di Qin immediately knew that something was wrong.
"No, we can't stay here any longer, otherwise, we will definitely end up in annihilation. Let's hurry back, the protective walls there have collapsed, and they can't stop us! As long as we kill back, the thieves will definitely collapse without a fight! A general hurriedly said.
Soon, several people agreed on their opinions, and even let the herald beside them quickly pass on the order. However, at this time, the Qin army was already in chaos, and there were not many people who could really hear the order.
In this way, when some of them were ordered to retreat, the others thought that they were defeated, and they all ran in the direction of the camp, for fear that they would be left behind.
"Good opportunity, brothers, follow me out, the time has come to make meritorious service!" As soon as Li Xin saw this scene behind the wall, he knew that the time had come. When even jumped on the wall, shouted, and jumped down first. The soldiers of the Huashan Army behind the wall, seeing this scene, were greatly boosted in morale and followed him to kill him.
"Kill! .......! "More than a thousand soldiers from the 1st and 4th battalions were slaughtered at this time towards the chaotic enemy army. Hearing this earth-shattering shout, those Di Qin soldiers were even more chaotic, especially those Di Qin soldiers who ran at the back, and they were regretting in their hearts at the moment, why did they have to run at the front when they chased the Huashan Army before.
Soon, Li Xin caught up with an enemy soldier, and the guy looked back, only to see a flash of swords, and then he was no longer conscious. At this time, the soldiers of the Huashan Army, under the leadership of Li Xin, rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain. And the soldiers of Di Qin are like a flock of sheep, and they are being chased around.
The Qin soldiers who were running at the forefront had already arrived at the edge of the first protective wall at this time, and they were all happy when they saw that they were not far from the camp after passing this wall. However, they rejoiced a little too soon.
I only heard a shout, and suddenly an iron-clad general jumped out from behind the wall and rushed towards him and the others. And behind him, more Huashan Army soldiers followed and killed.
"Rush, rush over quickly, destroy them, and we will be able to return to the camp safely!" Several generals in the chaotic army, after seeing this scene, hurriedly shouted. They knew they were going to encounter this scene, so it wasn't surprising at all.
In order to return to a safe place as soon as possible, several generals did not stop at all, and immediately rushed towards Li Erhei and them. The most conspicuous Li Erhei was naturally targeted by them, and these generals all understood that as long as this general was solved, the other thieves would be solved.
"Good time!" Li Erhei overturned a few Qin soldiers in a row, and at this time, when he saw the enemy general rushing towards him, he said happily. Without saying a word, he picked up a shield from the ground, and rushed towards him with a spear in hand.
On the other side, Li Xin led people into it, and killed those defeated and fleeing Qin soldiers to cry their fathers and mothers. And the archers behind the wall also followed at this time, and it was a rain of arrows against the defeated army, so that the casualties of the Qin soldiers were even heavier. In less than half an hour, more than half of these thousands of Qin soldiers were killed or wounded.
Finally, the Huashan army on both sides was encircled, with a strength of more than 2,000 people, but instead surrounded the Qin army of more than 4,000 in the middle. Li Xin saw that Li Erhei was fighting against the Qin generals, and couldn't help but be a little worried, and after killing the enemy army in front of him with one sword, he rushed in the direction of Li Erhei.
"You're finally here! If I don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it alone! These guys, riding on horses and bullying people! Li Erhei was fighting against several generals of Di Qin, and when he saw Li Xin killing him at this time, he was relieved.
Li Xin nodded, did not speak, and fought side by side with Li Erhei. Thanks to the terrain restrictions here, these generals had no way to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, otherwise, it would be almost impossible to stop them with the strength of two people.
At this time, the Qin army, after the Huashan army was encircled, was slowly pressed towards the bottom of the cliff. Under the circumstance of encircling the three queyi, these Qin soldiers themselves moved in that direction. However, when they moved to the bottom of the cliff, Tian He on the top of the mountain moved. Arrows, rolling logs, rocks, and so on rumbled down from the mountains and headed for the enemy's dense spots.
After such a while, the Qin army could not resist at all. Realizing that it was not safe under the cliff, the remaining Qin soldiers began to fight for their lives, rushing towards the north to get as far away as possible.
Of course, the Huashan army will not stop it, under good discipline, while killing the enemy, they opened up a hole in the north, but surrounded the east and west, increased the offensive in the south, and pressed the remaining Qin soldiers to the north. As a result, two or three thousand Qin soldiers rushed to the north, but there was a surging water!
As a result, many of Qin's soldiers did not have time to turn back, and they were squeezed into the water by the surging defeated soldiers behind them, and soon disappeared without a trace. At this time, Li Xin and the others had already achieved results, and with the cooperation of the two, they successively overturned several enemy generals one by one.
However, Li Xin and Li Erhei also paid a lot of price for this, leaving several scars on their bodies. Especially Li Xin, who was almost stabbed by the enemy general, fortunately the iron armor on his body protected him.
When the battle between the two walls was in full swing, Fu Fa in the enemy camp had already received the news, and he didn't care about his injuries, so he hurried to the battlefield with the remaining generals and troops, wanting to rescue the soldiers.
"Report, king, the thieves have destroyed all the bridges on the water, and if there is no boat, we won't be able to cross at all!" It's a pity that he got the bad news before he got to the edge of the water.
"It's hateful, damned thief, you actually set up this treacherous scheme to harm my army!" Rushing to the edge of the water, he looked at the river in front of him, and was immediately anxious and angry. Especially across this river, he could vaguely hear the sound of shouting and killing from the east, which made him even more worried.
"Don't worry, the king, the number of our army far exceeds the number of anti-thieves, and I think it should be able to support it for a long time! As long as we cross the water as soon as possible, we will be able to support them! Seeing this, the general next to him hurriedly said.
"Hurry up, hurry up and collect the ships, and at the same time build a temporary bridge so that the army can pass!" At this time, another general hurriedly ordered.
However, whether it was Fu Fa or these generals, they all knew in their hearts that the chances of survival of the army on the opposite side were not great. In the absence of effective support from the battalion, the only thing they can rely on is themselves.
