Chapter 33: The Sound of the Gong 2
"The king..., the king!" Peng Zong looked at Xiang Yan, even if he didn't use Lu Lijing, he also saw the crazy fight where the fire bomb fell, and the shouts of the two armies 'Protect the King' and 'Kill the King of Jing' also followed the north wind to blow. He was about to suggest that Xiang Yan quickly send reinforcements to rob people, but he didn't want the gong to sound at this time.
"General, the king is not a servant in life and death, and our army should not retreat!" Wang Zuzhi's general Quguang also rushed to Xiang Yan, as well as Yiyang Jun Yisu, who was on fire in his eyes, he knew Xiang Yan's vicious thoughts, so he didn't persuade at all, but drew his sword to face each other.
"No gongs!" He pointed his sword at Xiang Yan and shouted loudly at the gong man.
"You dare!" Another sword was pulled out, this was Xiang Zhi, the general of Xiang Shi. Xiang's division, Wang's pawn, and Fengjun's division, this is the last strength of the Chu army, and the rest of the divisions have been put into the battlefield.
"No gongs, no retreat! Save the king, save the king quickly! Yi Su didn't care about Xiang Zhi's sword at all, he shouted in his eagerness, and the sword in his hand stabbed forward in excitement and resentment.
"General!" Yi Su stabbed a sword at Xiang Yan, and the stunned Xiang Zhi completely forgot to fight back. And Yi Su knew that it was useless to stab Xiang Yan, so he rushed to the gong man and cut off the hand that struck the gong with a sword.
"Take him!" Xiang Yanchang, who was in the sword, exhaled, Yi Yangjun didn't want to kill him, so the stab was very shallow, but it only penetrated the rhino armor and only injured the flesh and skin, but Yi Yangjun stabbed the main general and cut off the arm of the gong man, Xiang Zhi felt that this person had to take it.
"Who dares to take my lord?!" The armor soldier on Yi Yangjun's side drew his sword to protect him behind him, and the sword in his hand pointed at the rushing guard.
"You're going to rebel?!" Xiang Zhi didn't give the order to kill Yi Yangjun, he just wanted to take him down so that he wouldn't make trouble again.
Xiang Sima is a big mistake. The general does not retreat when he retreats, does not advance when he advances, and ignores the life and death of the king, and we are waiting for rebellion?! The general is the rebel. "The division of the feudal monarch was adjusted to You Que as the strongest force, and no one expected that these people would interfere with the command. Yiyangjun's guards drew their swords, and the rest of the feudal monarchs also drew their swords, and the shogunate guards protected them, and they were about to fight.
"Slow, slow!" The strategists in the shogunate were stunned by this scene, and Peng Zong saw that the two sides were about to fight, and hurriedly rushed to the middle. He said loudly: "This is a decisive battle, it is a matter of the safety and survival of the Chu State, how can we fight here?!" ”
"We only care about the king's safety!" Yi Yangjun interrupted loudly, he pointed at Xiang Yan again with his sword, and shouted: "Xiang Yan, what do you want?" ”
"What do you want?" Xiang Yan sighed and smiled, "I will be a general, the commander of the Chu army, and I will fight the Qin army." What do you want? If this battle is lost, you and me, and the king will not be spared. ”
"General, Yiyangjun, the king is still in the army, don't worry, please worry." A military official happened to come to report, but he didn't expect to see the two sides facing each other, and immediately changed color.
"The king is still in the army?" Several people shouted, and quickly took out Lu Lijing's mirror to take a closer look. That's right, the shiny iron and colored cloak appeared in the military formation again. At this time, the Chinese army, which heard the sound of the gong, was retreating step by step, and the Qin army finally occupied the pile of corpses that was accumulating higher and higher, but they were also stunned, because the entire Chu army was shouting, 'Fight with me, the king is safe.' ’
"What are Jing people shouting?" Meng Wu, who was carrying the north wind on his back, could see the armor of the two armies fighting for King Jing for their lives, but he could not hear the shouts of the armor soldiers of the two armies. At this time, the Jing people's Chinese army slowly retreated, and he seemed to realize that his own army did not seem to have killed King Jing. Sure enough, before the news from the front came, he had seen a man in dazzling iron armor board the flag-laden cart. This is King Jing, exactly the same dress as the day he sent the goose, but with an extra colored cloak.
"Fight with me, the king is safe!" In the wave of cheers, Xiong Jing finally boarded the chariot, instead of the first column of the military formation he insisted on standing, he had to stand on a high place so that all the soldiers could see him, so that the military formation would not be chaotic and morale would not fall. Morale always comes first.
The gong of retreat sounded again, and the chariot slowly retreated, and the array of the palace armor and the array of the Chinese army also slowly retreated. The Chu army can see Xiongjing, and the Qin army can also see Xiongjing. Under the fatal attraction, their steps followed the Chu army more and more. Some crossbowmen were even more hurried to release their arrows, but these crossbow arrows were all blocked by the large shields of the carriage and the sanitation on both sides.
Twenty lines of depth is not far away, not to mention that the Chinese army's military array is already full of holes. When the arrows could not be shot, some strong armorers and sharps threw spears and beryllium. Countless spears and beryllium burst through the air, hitting the shield but not breaking it. At this time, the shouts of the soldiers changed again, and they began to shout: "God bless my king, a hundred soldiers will not go." ”
With this tidal wave of cheers, they who had been fighting hard for a long time and their arrays were thin actually began to counterattack the Qin army, driving those Qin troops who threw spears and berylliums far away, and the army formation no longer retreated, but stood in place.
In Lu Lijing, Meng Wu knew best what was happening near the car with the flag planted. The retreat of the Chu army without breaking made him have a bad premonition, and even Cao Di, who was more than 400 years ago, knew that 'the husband is a big country, unpredictable, and afraid of ambushes', how could Meng Wu, who was born in Jiangmen, not know that the enemy's retreat may be a plan? It's just that the Chu army retreated and retreated, and it also counterattacked, which finally made him feel that the Chu army retreated because of its lack of strength, and it was not that the Chu army deliberately set up an ambush.
"General Yu, the crossbow has arrived in front of King Jing's array, and the crossbow will ask for orders to shoot King Jing." The military officials hurriedly came to report.
'Kill King Jing and worship the Marquis to seal ten thousand households', this is the military order of the whole army before the war. Not only ordinary soldiers are crazy about it, but also military marquis, captains, and captains are extremely eager for it. Since the change of the law, there have been very few people who worship the marquis in the Qin State, and only one person who worships the marquis with military merits is only one person. If you kill King Jing, you can worship the marquis, who doesn't rush to it.
Meng Wu knew the general's thoughts, but he also knew that since the confrontation between the two armies, King Jing's unusual actions have constantly boosted the morale of Jing people. The best way to win this battle is to kill King Jing. A smile flashed across his face, and he replied, "Pass on my military order: Shoot King Jing." After this order was given, he said: "The five thousand sharp soldiers of the rear army quickly came to the front of King Jing's formation, waited for the crossbow arrows to shoot, broke through the Jing array in one fell swoop, and captured King Jing!" ”
When Meng Wu said, 'Break through the Jing Array', his thick eyebrows stood up and his teeth were bitten violently. The officer said 'hi' and hurriedly gave the order. Suddenly, 5,000 sharp soldiers came out of the rear army and hurried to the position of the military flag in the Chu army.
Under the blow of the trebuchet, the nest car of the Qin army was either injured or destroyed, and several nest cars of the Chu army had risen to the highest, paying close attention to the movements of the rear army of the Qin army. As soon as the five thousand sharps came out of the battle, the wooden slab was dropped on the nest cart. The shogunate is no longer fighting each other, and Xiang Yan is not in a hurry to arrest Yiyangjun, but will report to the king after the battle, and at this moment Yiyangjun and others have been invited out of the shogunate, so as not to interfere with the command again.
"Only 5,000?" After hearing the report, Xiang Yan was a little disappointed.
"General, several nest cars have reported this number, and it is indeed 5,000 people, these people are holding long beryllium, and they are all Qin army warriors." The herald thought that the general was worried that this figure was false, so he explained.
The ferocity of the sharp soldiers, the general of the king has seen it twice, and he said worriedly: "General, the sharp soldiers of the Qin army are designed to break the formation, although five thousand is less, but now there are only a few people in the thin part of our army's military formation. If you don't help, it will be broken by the Qin army. ”
"No, if you can, you can't move." Xiang Yan was merciless, he fully understood the importance of You Que.
"General, if the shogunate does not send reinforcements to rescue the king, the situation is critical, Yi Yangjun and others will also go to the rescue without authorization, it is better to ......" The Qin people have not yet been killed, and their own people almost fought, and Peng Zong, who was a little afraid, suggested so.
"It's not that there are more than 1,000 people left in the right army, and these more than 1,000 people can be sent to the flag to line up to help in the battle." The army formation was square, and after the formation, there were hundreds of people left in the two divisions of Wu and Yue, which added up to more than a thousand people, and Xiang Yan planned to send them to strengthen the Chinese army.
"Yue Ren? More than a thousand people? Peng Zong and Refractive couldn't believe their ears.
"The Chinese army has not yet exhausted, what will happen if our army also sends 5,000 people to the Chinese army?" Looking at Peng Zong and Refractor, Xiang Yan had his own plans. "They will think that our army is still full of people and can fight. The Chinese army is 80,000 people, except for the 40,000 divisions of Yingdu, the rest are small divisions, and the first division is only a few thousand. There are many divisions and generals, each with its own thoughts, and if you increase your troops early, how can all the divisions fight to the death? ”
After Xiang Yan finished speaking, the order to increase the troops was passed on to the military officials, and the Yue soldiers who received the order also hurried to the Chinese army like the Qin army, and added more than 100 columns and ten people in depth in front of the flag. The rear of the army formation were the generals of various divisions, and they could also see thousands of sharp soldiers rushing out of the rear army of the Qin army with Lu Lijing on the chariot. I thought that Xiang Yan would also increase his troops by thousands, but he didn't expect that he would only reinforce more than 1,000 people. The general of Xiyang, who was the first to understand Xiang Yan's intentions, shook his head again and again, he knew that this battle would not work if he didn't fight his old book.
"The Qin army has increased its troops by thousands, and Xiang Yan ...... Hum! Don't mention it. "Outside the shogunate, I saw that there were only more than 1,000 people on the front line to reinforce the front, and all of them were short Yue people, and their teeth were sharpened, and their hearts were even more hateful.
"Zisu, I'll wait or ......" More than a thousand Yue pawns are indeed too few, and the six monarchs want to bring their own people to make up for it.
"Never." The more mature state marquis hurriedly spoke out to stop him. "In wartime, if you disobey the order to transfer troops, Xiang Yan will have to be killed, and the king will not be able to protect us. The Qin people's increase in troops is not necessarily ......"
"Crossbow!" Before the governor could finish speaking, a black rain of arrows rose in front of the Chinese army and shot straight around the flag. The arrows of the crossbow are stronger than the bow, and the crossbow is stronger when it is stepped on. The black arrow rain swept through, and many of the sanitation's leather armor were pierced by crossbow arrows, and the wounded were even more numerous. The flag fluttering in the wind on the bear jingrong car was also pierced by the crossbow arrows through a dozen holes, and some crossbow arrows were densely nailed to the flagpole, the arrows were like a strong wind, and the flagpole of the middle arrow actually fell backwards like a mast, squeaking.
"Shoot!" Five thousand crossbows were lined up fifty paces in front of the flag, and the crossbow arrows were fired directly at the target instead of shooting at the air. The distance is so close, not to mention leather armor, even shields are difficult to block, and every time the crossbow will shout 'shoot', countless arrows will fall to the ground.
