Chapter 386: Capture the Enemy Chieftain Alive
Crises are everywhere!
The situation is dangerous!
Guo Muyu was nervous, holding his long black beard, but he had the chance to win.
The Qin army set foot on the southern bank and faced a trap set by the Jing Xiang army.
Dare to come to attack the city, don't think about going in peace.
Seeing Han Xun lead the army out of the city, Guo Muyu grabbed his sword and patrolled the city.
"Everyone, cheer up, set up bows and arrows, and if the Qin army comes to attack, shoot arrows and kill them immediately."
Patrol all the way, tell all the way.
In the corridor, Jing Xiangjun took a post step by step, took arrows and drew bows, and paid attention to the war outside the city.
After the bitter battle of Changchuan City, Guo Muyu already knew the Qin army.
Strong, and tenacious.
The battle is brave and the spirit is fierce.
The momentum of disregarding life and death is chilling.
He would rather defend the city than fight it in close quarters.
Clear water river.
As time went on, reinforcements from the city arrived one after another, and tens of thousands of elites were thrown into battle, quickly changing Gao Yi's embarrassing situation.
In the rolling river, the warship sank into the water, and the whirlpool rolled up, like the open mouth of a giant beast, quickly swallowed the Qin army, Chu army, and Jing Xiang army floating on the surface of the water into their stomachs.
The wounded and the corpses that fell to the surface of the water, went downstream, disappeared in the waves, and went downstream.
Xing Buying and Yu Changxiong crossed the river by boat, noticed the corpses floating on the river, and already knew how tragic the battle was upstream.
Dozens of warships transferred the Qin army, a few round trips, and tens of thousands of elite horsemen landed on the south bank.
In the lower reaches of the Qingshui River, the terrain is open and endless.
Looking up, the majestic Qingshui City is in full view.
Yu Changxiong led the army to land and did not pounce on Qingshui City.
On the one hand, they chose favorable terrain and deployed defenses on the spot, and on the other hand, they sent scouts to reconnoiter in all directions.
lest they leave, and the follow-up Qin army went ashore and suddenly encountered a surprise attack.
Not long after Han Xun left the city, he learned from the scouts that a large number of Qin troops had landed in the lower reaches of the Qingshui River and were rapidly deploying.
He climbed a high ground, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and could vaguely see the surging heads near the Qingshui River.
The Qin army marched faster than he expected.
"The Qin army is really not weak!"
Han Xun sighed lightly, frowning slightly, and suddenly, the pressure on his body doubled.
If you want to attack and kill the Qin army, you should strike first and seize the opportunity when the Qin army's formation is unstable.
"Spread the word to the three armies, and the character shape rushed forward and pounced on the Qin army." When he returned to the army, Han Xun commanded in a cold voice and shouted: "In the battle, kill the Qin army, and the horses, ordnance, and helmets obtained will all belong to the next person. ”
Riding with foot, there is a rare chance of winning.
What's more, the terrain here is flat, which is suitable for elite cavalry charges.
In order to win the battle and reward them in a big way, the three armed forces will maintain a strong fighting spirit and enhance the enthusiasm of the army in combat.
When the Jiangnan Army heard the news, they quickly changed their formation.
The striker holds a shield and forms a cover.
These shields were larger than ordinary shields, nearly a man tall, and they were all made of fine wood, and no matter how sharp the arrows were, there was no way to stop them.
Behind the shield array, there is the infantry holding the long lance, each long lance is nearly a foot long, and the shield in front of the armor cooperates, attacking and retreating.
At the same time, a large number of elite soldiers with short swords are mixed in with the lancers, and in normal times, they hide behind the shield array, unless the shield is broken and the elite cavalry breaks in, or, the shield soldier in front deliberately lets the elite horse in, they assist the lancer to kill the enemy, and protect the lance soldier who cannot fight in close quarters.
At the end, there are archers with longbows and quivers.
In battle, strike first, shoot the invading enemy, reduce the danger faced by the shield soldiers in front, and strive for victory for the army.
The three strong teams are all lined up in this way.
Form a zigzag, each other is a horn, relying on each other.
Under the leadership of Han Xun, the Qin army is getting closer and closer.
Yu Changxiong, with a small number of Qin troops, also temporarily formed a simple defense on the south bank.
As he expected, soon the scout sent back the news that there were enemy troops in the direction of Qingshui City.
A large number of Qin troops had not yet landed, and the improvised defensive foundation was unstable.
Yu Changxiong quickly jumped on the big rock next to him, raised his eyes and looked at each other, the flags fluttering in front of him, and a neatly formed infantry came in a mighty manner.
"General, when you see the flag, it looks like the Sun family's army." He will report on the side.
The Sun family?
Sun Ming's child, inheriting his father's will, participated in the battle of the Qin army to conquer the four states of Jingxiang, was he impatient?
"Look at the formation, this elite soldier is prepared, don't be careless." Yu Changxiong despised the enemy in front of him, but he was not arrogant and conceited, and his eyes were empty.
The elite soldiers of the Sun family are fierce and good at fighting, and the tiger army led by him is not vegetarian.
At present, the Tiger Ben army has formed a formation, barely forming protection with the help of shields, and buying time for the robes crossing the river in the rear.
Since the elite soldiers of the Sun family dare to come, they should bear the anger of the Tiger Ben Army.
A messenger was sent to inform Xing Buying, urging him to speed up the transfer of elite cavalry, and Yu Changxiong personally led a strong army, stepped on his war horse, and stood in front of the army.
Whether or not this battle can be won depends on whether the Qin army can gain a firm foothold on the south bank of the Qingshui River.
If you fight, fight quickly.
In the unpreparedness, all the enemies who come in front of them are annihilated.
On the river, Xing Buying learned that the enemy was coming, and knew the pressure that Yu Changxiong's army was facing on the south bank, so he waved his sword and urged the sailors to speed up the transfer of elite cavalry.
The water division of the river combat is dominant, and the ground combat is the hegemon.
At this moment, if one more cavalry is transferred to the south bank, the Qin army will have a better chance of winning.
Two strong teams, racing against time to prepare for the game.
They all want to kill with one blow, and they will annihilate each other without much effort.
Gradually, more and more Qin troops set foot on the south bank, forming a solid defense on the shore in a steady and orderly manner.
Yu Changxiong sat on horseback, raised his eyes, and as the enemy approached, he felt the other party's violent momentum more and more.
This elite soldier, the momentum in the march is like a rainbow, filled with a fierce and murderous aura, it is clearly a battlefield lion, a hundred battles of the force.
"The forward formation, the enemy approaches, the arrow rain shoots, and when all the tiger troops go ashore, they rush out again." Yu Changxiong spoke in a low voice and informed the three armies.
When he was two or three miles away from the Qin army, Han Xun also noticed the Qin army standing on the south bank.
In the past, he had only heard of the prestige of the Qin army, but he had never come into contact with the Qin army. Therefore, be cautious and cautious all the way.
At this time, the Qin army was seen forming a formation on the river bank and temporarily forming a defense.
I couldn't help but marvel that the Qin army was really a lion in a hundred battles, and it was so quick to respond to the battle, as if it had already been deployed on the south bank.
However, he also noticed that in the rear of the Qin army, there were still many Qin troops who were landing in a hurry.
"Humph!"
"What about the Qin army's fierceness, today, I am going to break the myth that the Qin army is undefeated!" Han Xun snorted angrily, full of fighting intent.
If you want to take advantage of its unpreparedness, take the initiative to attack when the rear of the Qin army is unstable.
Han Xun raised his long sword violently and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, shield soldiers take cover, draw bows and shoot arrows, attack quickly, and drive the Qin army back to Qingshui River!" ”
The Qin army has a huge number of elite cavalry, and the most critical combat effectiveness is not weak, if the Qin army is allowed to seize the opportunity, even if he leads the infantry to defend in advance, I am afraid there is no way to destroy the other party.
When all the troops heard the sound, they quickly drew their bows and arrows, and went forward to shoot one after another.
Harness the power of the arrow array to move forward quickly.
Yu Changxiong led the army to form a formation to escort the Qin army that landed in the rear, but he did not expect that the army that came would strike first, and it was obviously ready to fight quickly and destroy them.
This made Yu Changxiong very annoyed.
He recruited a rainfall division in Guankou Castle and had already missed the battle of Changchuan Castle.
This time, he led the army and prepared to capture Puling City.
The army in front of him, since he struck first, don't blame him for being polite.
Yu Changxiong raised his long knife and shouted: "The forward cavalry, all rush up, break the opponent's formation, and the Chinese army continues to wait for the rear army to land." ”
Hearing the sound, he rode in formation, clutching his shield and carrying his sword.
Rushing forward.
In the process of riding forward, he also pulled the bow and arrows, and adopted the technique of returning a tooth for a tooth.
In an instant, the rain of arrows in the air was like locusts passing through, speeding north and south, quickly asking for their lives.
The charging Qin army, the fast-moving Jiangnan army, the ground gradually fell with the corpses of the two armies.
However, neither of the two armies stopped attacking.
Soon, with the ferocious killing of the Qin army, dust billowed on the ground, but in the dense arrow rain of the Jiangnan army, the Qin army suffered many casualties.
However, all the Qin troops did not give up.
Whether or not this army can be completely annihilated, we must first take the lead in breaking down the formation of the Jiangnan Army.
At that time, without the protection of the formation, all the infantry will be disorganized, and they will be left to be killed.
Boom!
Soon.
A loud bang rang out.
The Qin army rushed into the Jiangnan army, and the huge impact of the elite cavalry crashed into the Jiangnan army, and the soldiers in the formation were brave, like leaves rolled up by the wind, flying in the air.
"Formation, formation!"
Han Xun noticed the collapse in the formation and hurriedly raised his sword and shouted.
Restraining cavalry with infantry often leads to more defeats than victories.
If he wants to break the defeat, he must form a formation, quickly slash the elite cavalry that rushed into the formation, and quickly slash and kill.
Then quickly form a formation to form a solid defense.
All the soldiers heard the sound and killed the enemy quickly.
However, things were worse than Han Hoon expected.
The Qin army's forward had just rushed over, and the Chinese army in the rear, without the slightest hesitation, also rushed over quickly.
made the army led by Han Xun suddenly, the pressure doubled.
If they couldn't quickly stop the approaching Qin army in front of them, the formation that had not yet recovered would be severely damaged by the Qin army in an instant.
At that time, the Qin army not only entered their formation, but also frantically slashed the Jiangnan army, even if they were quite numerous, it was impossible to stop the Qin army.
Han Xun's face was cold, Qin Jun was really powerful.
He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and said urgently: "Shoot, shoot!" ”
At this time, he could only use the elite in the rear who had not yet made contact with the Qin army, quickly draw his bow and shoot, and with the help of the impenetrable rain of arrows, kill the approaching Qin army.
If a large number of Qin troops can be eliminated, there is still hope for turning things around in this battle.
In an instant, the dense advice in the rear, like a pouring rain, came from all directions, the humming arrows were piercing, and the army was speeding forward.
Before a wave of arrow rain fell, another wave of arrow rain flew up again, heading towards the Qin army.
The Qin army that was speeding behind, seeing the situation in front, the army did not stop charging, on the contrary, everyone in front quickly raised their iron shields to form a defense in front of them to block the arrows flying in the air.
Because of the containment of the Qin army in front, the strength of this wave of arrow rain was very weak.
There was almost no damage to the Qin army, and the Qin army, which was charging frantically, had already killed the advanced soldiers.
Raise your sword and kill wildly, charging on all sides.
Even if Han Xun was prepared in advance, the Chu army was still worried.
The most important thing is that as the battle heats up, when Xing Buying transferred all the Tiger Ben troops to the south bank, he did not transfer other Qin troops, but instead took the sailors to rush to the aid of Jing Hongyang and Han Daochang.
With the Qin army led by Xing Buying, the situation on the Qingshui River changed dramatically in an instant.
Gao Yi commanded the sailors, and there was no way to stop the enemy.
The army was forced to retreat.
However, Jing Hongyang, Han Daochang, and Xing Buying commanded the army to chase after them, and they had no idea of letting him lead the troops to evacuate.
The situation became worse and worse, and Gao Yi led the army upstream, quickly abandoning the ship and fleeing.
Behind them, there were a large number of traps deployed, and he did not dare to lead the remnants of the army to go, lest the army would break into all kinds of traps when he was in a panic, and instead of killing the Qin army, he would be threatened.
It was found that Gao Yi led the army to land and moved to the direction of Puling City, Jing Hongyang and Han Daochang led the army to land and continue the pursuit.
Xing Buying led the troops, did not continue the pursuit, turned back, and went to assist Yu Changxiong.
Their goal was to capture the city of Puling, and all the enemy forces outside the city had to be inflicted heavy losses.
Once the army led by Han Xun failed, the Qin army approached Puling City. Capturing the city will be a breeze.
In the lower reaches, as a large number of Qin troops were thrown into the battlefield, Han Xun's situation became more and more difficult.
At this time, Han Xun regretted it a little.
The Qin army was so strong, at the beginning, he shouldn't have asked Guo Muyu for help and led the troops out of Puling City.
Now, instead of killing the Qin army, he put himself in a crisis.
When he hesitated, a general hurriedly came and said: "General, the Qin army's sailor has defeated Gao Yi's army on the river, and at present, Gao Yi is leading his troops to retreat to Puling City, and we are staying here alone, and we are in a very dangerous situation." ”
Han Xun heard the sound and secretly scolded Gao Yi.
This guy led the troops to evacuate without notifying him in advance.
At this time, he was pinned down by the Qin army, and he didn't evacuate, for fear that he would lose everything here.
But if you want to evacuate, it will be so easy.
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse, the adjutant general was staring at him from the side, and Han Xun said, "Evacuate, the whole army evacuates." ”
Without support, the infantry advantage was not fully brought into play.
What's more, when Gao Yi led the army back to the city, the army led by him alone stayed outside the city and faced several times the Qin army.
The Jiangnan Army was not at all sure of victory.
"Evacuate the whole army!"
The adjutant general commanded and shouted urgently.
However, in the pursuit of the Qin army, it is not easy to lead the army to retreat!
During the campaign, Yu Changxiong witnessed the Jiangnan Army that was fighting, and suddenly, it quickly shrank its forces.
He had a lot of combat experience and quickly guessed what the Jiangnan army wanted.
Evacuate!
How can it be.
When he provoked the Tiger Army, he should have thought about the crisis he might face.
Yu Changxiong raised his long knife, slapped his horse and charged, and shouted: "The whole army rushed forward, and the enemy must not be allowed to escape. ”
Hearing this, the Tiger Ben Army, which was in full swing, became more and more intense.
"Kill!"
"Capture the enemy chieftain alive!"
"Capture the enemy chieftain alive!"
The Tiger Ben army galloped wildly, roaring loudly, and the huge sound was deafening.
It seems that the river is rolling, surging in the direction where the Jiangnan Army is located, wanting to completely eliminate the elite soldiers led by Han Xun in an instant, capture Han Xun alive, snatch this merit, and fight for his own honor.
