Chapter 56: Hurry up
No one can stop the angry Chu army, and the recklessness and determination in their blood have continued until more than 2,000 years later: although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu; Although Chu is three martyrs, it will be Chu if it is clear. Unruly does not damage the romance, but resolutely but smart. If you are not angry, you are enough, and if you are angry, you can only 'work hard and do not fight'. Lantian is an important place in the Qin State, and Lantian was lost, and he entered Xianyang. The Qin army can only block here, on the tip of the spear of the Chu people.
So when the rows of spearmen rushed to the spears, Xiong Jing suddenly hallucinated the sound of the knife breaking the bamboo. The knife is cut from the center of the bamboo root, the bamboo root is solid, and this section is the most difficult at the beginning, and each section requires great strength. After breaking a few feet, the knife began to advance sharply, and the bamboo knots 'snapped'. When it was cut to the tip of the bamboo, there was a loud sound of 'pop', and the bamboo cracked by itself and bounced into two pieces.
Xiong Jing, who was riding on a horse, watched Xishi break through the Qin army's military formation, like a knife breaking a bamboo, and the final cracking made people feel refreshed and happy. But for Zhao Cheng, the Qin general who couldn't see the spear of the Xi Shi, the array of the Qin army was like a gas-filled fish bladder, the array bulged back and became larger, and finally the swim bladder exploded with a 'poof', and the Jing people with the spear shouted and rushed over.
If the Chu people are described as hot, then cold may be the best summary of the old Qin people. However, no matter how calm the Qin people were, they also began to panic, and the reserves of the Chu army that came out of the cage could not be stopped at all. As soon as the reserve team stepped forward, the hundreds of knights led by Concubine Jing rushed to the short-range array. The narrow place of Wuguan Road is not the place where the heavy cavalry comes in, but there are still two heavy cavalry under the command of Fu Jing, hundreds of light cavalry swept by, and the heavy cavalry slammed into the short army formation, and the soldiers were in a panic, and Cheng Kui steadily pulled out the longbow.
"Enter! Advance ——! "The Qin general was killed by an arrow, and the chaos under the banner made these tens of thousands of Qin troops rush backwards.
"Your lord, our army has won a great victory!" The generals and strategists around him were all excited. The Xi Division and the Tang Division had begun to advance rapidly, and the Ying Division had not received a military order and did not follow up.
"Where is Master E?" Xiong Jing didn't care about the front at this time, only the rear - he used to command only four divisions of battles, and now he is twelve and a half divisions. The specific battle is not for him to care about, what he cares about is when the twelve and a half divisions will really be closed.
"Your Majesty, the Eshi is already visible." Zhuang Wudi pointed to the flag bearer on the ridge behind him, who was waving the flag.
Xiong Jing also saw the flag bearer on the ridge waving the flag, and on the ridge in front of him was the Chu army all over the mountains, if the standard-bearer saw the Hu division, it means that the Hubei division could rush to the position he was standing in half an hour, and the twelve and a half divisions had all been gathered.
"Enter!" Xiong Jing nodded. The three-headed phoenix banner behind him pointed forward, and the third and fourth divisions of the Ying Division, which had already lined up, quickly stepped forward to defeat the Qin army that remained in front, and broke into the White Deer Plateau in a neat queue.
When the drums sounded, Lantian County was also in a hurry. Located in Guanzhong, only more than 100 miles away from Xianyang, Lantian is a small city within a radius of 12 miles and the city is only two feet and four feet high. Lantian City has never been the focus of defense, at most it is a logistics node. Not even counting the logistics nodes, if the enemy army went out of the Qinling Mountains and forcibly crossed the upper reaches of Bashui, it was usually a large army stationed in Bailu Plateau to the west of Lantian City to threaten its rear route, and would not defend Lantian City under Bailu Plateau. Zhao Zheng's residence in Lantian City was very dangerous, so as soon as the military drum sounded, the county government was in chaos.
"The king, now that it is extremely critical, please ask the king to leave the city quickly." Zhao Gao had already knelt on the ground, Zhao Zheng was still giving instructions, and Wei Yu's face was full of urgency.
"An army of 500,000 cannot stop 100,000 Jing people!" Zhao Zheng flicked his sleeves. From the time he reported that Jing Ren had left Bailu Plateau, he began to get angry. He was angry with Meng Tian, and Meng Tian actually lied to himself that Jing Ren was good at wandering, and now he has returned to Nanyang County, wanting to annihilate Li Xinjun; He was angry with Wei Yi, Wei Yi was a national lieutenant, but he was always at a disadvantage when he clashed with Jing Ren, this time Jing Ren came out of Bailu Plateau, he didn't have the slightest prediction.
"Report ——!" Zhao Zheng was furious, and the ministers were panicked. Another sharp report came out outside, and when everyone was worried, Ling Bing really said: "Jing people have broken Zhao Cheng's army and are attacking on the plateau and Lantian!" ”
"Where is Zhao Cheng?" Through a few doors, Zhao Zheng asked urgently.
"Tell the king, General Zhao has been shot by the Jing people." Zhao Cheng stood on the chariot to command the battle, and after being hit by an arrow, he fell off the chariot and everyone saw it clearly. Zhao Zheng didn't ask, but when he asked the ministers, he was even more anxious.
"The city of Lantian is two feet, the king is here, and it is in danger! Please hurry up to the last general. "Zhao Cheng, like Zhao Hai, was a general promoted by Zhao Zheng and had high hopes, but he didn't expect to be shot by Jing Ren.
"Please go quickly, the king!" Xianyang made Zhao Yong too late to feel sorry for his younger brother, and only persuaded Zhao Zheng to leave quickly.
"If the widow leaves, the sergeant will ......" Zhao Zheng didn't know that Lantian could not be defended, what he was worried about was the morale of the Qin army.
"The king crosses the water and lives in the army, and the morale will inevitably rise greatly." Zhao Gao persuaded, and as soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of shouts outside the hall.
"The king is leaving!!" Meng Tian, Zhao Yong, Wei Yi and others were really anxious now, and the shouting was not Qin language, but Chu language.
Lantian was the key point of the Chu army's attack, and it was also the gathering place of the Qin army's military tents, baggage, and boats. The Xi division on the right went straight to Lantian, and the Qin army along the road was defeated by the Xi division before they could assemble in formation. Soon, it was not the Xi Shi who defeated the Qin army, but the Qin soldiers who were scattered and attacked the Qin army in the rear, and the Xi Shi drove them towards Lantian City like sheep.
"Ahh
"King Qin! It's King Qin!! Cheng Tong didn't realize that Lu Lijing had fallen off, and his whole body was staring at the red Chang Flag with the sun and moon depicted. This Chang flag is drifting from Lantian City to outside Lantian City, and outside Lantian City is Bashui, and King Qin is leaving.
"Herald the whole division: Run quickly to kill the King of Qin!" Cheng Tong shouted, not looking left and right at all.
"The general has an order: the whole division rushes to kill the King of Qin!" The Rest Master is still a standard phalanx, and orders are delivered very quickly. Soon the whole division ran and rushed to Lantian City, which was four miles away.
The rush of the division caused greater chaos in the Qin army, and the Qin generals outside the city saw that the division of the division broke away from their own army and rushed forward, as if they realized something, and when they turned back, they suddenly saw the king's regular flag floating outside the city.
"Protector King! Protect the king! "Captain, colonel, Quhou, two or five hundred lords, five hundred lords, and one hundred generals...... these people all shouted in shock, and involuntarily rushed to the city of Lantian, intending to stop the advance of the Chu army.
Seeing the Qin army galloping to the aid of Lantian City, the generals gritted their teeth and ran faster. And the acceleration of the rest division made the Qin army even more panicked, and even the Qin soldiers at the head of Lantian City couldn't help but shout.
"The king is leaving! Add to the disease! Sickness also!! "Wang Zhou is four stories high, and Wang Chariot is also extremely wide. Such a wide king car is very heavy, so it uses bronze roller bearings imitated by Shaofu. The roller is easy to grind, and the key is that the two inner and outer rings of the roller are not easy to make. Shaofu's workmanship is not fine, and the roller in the ferrule fell out at this time.
"Please ...... the king" two bearings were broken, and the two wheels were dragged by the horses along the road, and they couldn't go fast at all. Zhao Gao knelt under the king's car and wanted to carry Zhao Zheng on his back.
"Why do you have to do that!" Zhao Zheng had already stepped down from the king's car, his skin trampled on the dirty earth.
The king got out of the car and walked, and all the temple people and officials around him bowed down to apologize. Apologize for the sin, at least the pig man should stop pushing the king car that is getting more and more unable to push, and the king can quickly get out of the city, which is a great relief.
At this time, the main gate of the east gate was wide open, and Wang Zhou was waiting on the side of Bashui, waiting for Zhao Zheng to board the boat. The Qin soldiers who were blocking the Chu army outside the city watched the soldiers rushing towards the spears, and the formation formed by the emergency was extremely thin, and the spearmen who shouted angrily in the first row rushed in, and they knocked the army formation back, and when the fourth row was in the fourth row, the array had been broken by the Xi division.
"Kill King Qin! Kill the King of Qin! Kill the King of Qin......" The soldier shouted, and at this time, the Chang Banner had already left Lantian City and was heading towards the west bank of Bashui. Running for four miles, everyone was very tired, and only the anger against the Qin people still made them supportive.
"King!" Bailu Plateau is more than 100 meters higher than Lantian City, and Yingshi marched north to sweep the Qin army on the plateau, but at this time, the shouts under the plateau made Nao Xin, Zhuang Wudi and others watch.
"Is it King Qin?" Xiong Jing saw the standing flag fluttering in the east of Lantian City. The Son of Heaven carries nine feet high, about 14 meters high, the flag body is silk, the sun and the moon are painted on it, the whole flag is red, so the swaggering flag is easy to identify.
"King Qin also." Even the left and right Ershi also shouted, and they seemed to be about to witness the killing of King Qin. It's a pity that more than 10,000 guards were guarding the side of the dock, blocking the way of the Xi Division, and the strong crossbows on the battle boats of the Qin army began to shoot.
"Geometric distance?" Xiong Jing was amazed to see the crossbow arrows on the warboat shoot into the rest of the master hundreds of paces away.
"Distance...... Xiong Jing has no artillery around him, and it is difficult to estimate the distance between the warboat and the rest of the division.
Standing on the White Deer Plateau, the battlefield was four or five miles away, and it was also blocked by Lantian County. The stragglers who had been shot were retreating under the command of the officers. After retreating more than fifty steps, everyone was out of sight. At this time, the standing flag had been planted on Wang Zhou.
"The sky is endless, Qin also." Right Shi lamented, he thought that King Qin was going to die on the bank of Bashui, and he even thought about the extension after recording this incident - Bashui was originally nourishing water, and Qin Mugong dominated Xirong, so he called it Bashui.
"The Qin people will be defeated!" Zhuang Wudi retorted. Although the King of Qin boarded the king's boat, the Qin army outside Lantian City was in chaos because of the protection of the King of Qin. The two Yingshi under the hill hurriedly attacked with Yi spears, and some Qin soldiers who had no way out jumped into Bashui. More Qin troops walked north along Bashui, and the situation was no longer a battle, but a pursuit.
"When will it be feasible?" Xiong Jing didn't have much expectation of killing Zhao Zheng, he cared about the integrity of the whole army. Artillery, baggage, and carriages were all blocked at the mouth of the Rim River Valley, and without these, the Chu army could only stop there.
"Your Majesty, Shang ...... I don't know. "To blow up the stone wall, you must first chisel the stone wall, the gunpowder is too small, and the hole that needs to be chiseled is very large.
"Quick question!" Xiong Jing restrained all his joy and asked solemnly.
