Chapter 22: Jingling 3
"Jing people are defeated! Jing people are defeated!! As Yang Xiong spoke, the Qin soldiers who were striding forward were also shouting, and then the Qin army erupted into a piercing shout, and they no longer followed the Chu army, but exerted their strength again, and rushed into the retreating Chu army line. The sound of the exchange of armor and armor started again, and at this time, the cymbals in the rear of the Chu army made a loud noise, and the whole army of the Chu army, which had retreated in great strides, sprinted backwards.
"Jing people have ambush, Jing people have ambush!" He was facing the royal pawn under the command of King Jing, and the royal pawn might be squeezed backwards by the Qin pawn, but it would never be possible to sprint backwards. Yang Xiong was shocked in his heart, and Fan Kuan and the strategists beside him also noticed that something was wrong.
"Shogun, please!" Fan Kuan said quickly.
"The general must not, our army's array is in chaos, at this time, Ming Cheng ......" The strategist behind him immediately spoke.
It's okay to stride forward, but once you sprint, the Qin army array will be completely chaotic. The Qin army's array was chaotic, but the Chu army retreated without chaos, and if it really wanted to sound the cymbal, the Qin army would inevitably be defeated. Yang Xiong was not a strategist by his side, and this person was interrupted by others before he could finish speaking. "If you don't sound the cymbals, the whole army will be wiped out. Ask the general to quickly sound the cymbals and stand back and fight again. ”
"Cymbal!" Yang Xiong looked up to the sky and sighed, but at this time, there was no time to delay, he could only order Ming Cheng.
The drums stopped, and the gold sounded. It's just that the Qin army is already three hundred paces away from the Chu army, and the sound of the cymbals on the chariot and the sound of the Chu army's cymbals that are only more than a hundred steps away from the Qin army are mixed together, and the vast majority of the Qin army has not heard their own cymbals also sounding. It was only when the five hundred lords and tun chiefs on the rear chariot shouted to retreat that the Qin army stopped rushing forward and wanted to retreat.
The movements of the Qin army Chu Jun saw very clearly, and when the Qin army fell into confusion because of the sudden stop, the Chu army drummers began to beat the drums. As soon as the drums sounded, the horizontal formations of the four divisions began to change formations, the middle two divisions retreated in an orderly manner, and the spearmen of the left and right divisions quickly filled the gap in the middle, handing over each other without revealing the slightest gap; The two retreating divisions quickly evolved from a horizontal formation to a shock phalanx of 60 men each. When the friendly troops in front rushed towards the Qin army, trying to entangle the Qin army so that it could not retreat, the two spearmen who attacked the phalanx had already raised their spears.
'Knock, knock......' The rhythm of the drummer's drumming began to change, and the three strikes turned into double strikes, and when the tenth blow was reached, the 7,200 spearmen of the two divisions in the rear let out an earth-shattering cry, and the spearmen in the front row raised their spears and aimed them at the backs of friendly soldiers fifteen paces away and began to charge their spears. As soon as they rushed forward, the friendly forces in front of them who were responsible for entanglement with the Qin army retreated to make a gap.
The spear rusher shouted and rushed forward, like thunder; The friendly sergeants in the front line turned to the sides as fast as lightning as if they were opening the door. When the spearhead of the spear touched the rear of their own front, the friendly troops had already withdrawn from the gap of two sixty people, and the spearmen of the two divisions rubbed against the armor, and a slight spark flashed, and then, the rushing spears slammed into the array of the Qin army, and those Qin soldiers who did not know what happened were either stabbed to death by the spear, and they were rushed back again and again.
After piercing the spear, the spearman quickly drew his spear and dodged into the space he rushed out, and the second, third, and fourth rows ......, and the spearmen rushed forward in successive rows. Tens of thousands of Qin troops poured into the narrow area between Jingling City and the west bank of the Han River, and the thickness of the military formation exceeded 100 lines. No matter how thick the array was, it could not withstand the impact of as many as sixty rows of razor spears. The entire army formation was like a muddy wall, and with each impact, the wall retreated and thinned once, and when the twenty-fourth platoon of spearmen rushed through, the entire mud wall was finally broken, and the Qin army collapsed.
"Dare to ask the king, what kind of formation is this?" The army has been victorious, and E Junle, who was standing beside Xiong Jing, asked puzzled. The formation can move forward, it can retreat, it can go to the left, it can go to the right, but it is really unheard of for a formation like the Yingshi to suddenly withdraw from the array and change formations in the middle of the formation, and then suddenly cross the friendly line and rush into the enemy formation.
"It doesn't matter the formation, it's just the art of dancing." Xiong Jing didn't care about the tricks that the Yingshi played when he attacked, his eyes were always fixed on the Eshi, and the war boat they rowed was going upriver from the Han River on the east side.
"The art of dance?" E Junle was still puzzled. What he didn't know was that Xiong Jing's dance technique was not only the dance technique of this era, but also the queue dance of later generations. Of course, it is impossible for Yingshi to play such flowery moves, at most it is to make up the formation, rush the formation and the like.
As long as each division does not interfere with each other when running diagonally, the queue is qualified. The second is the grasp of the rhythm of the drums, and finally the tacit understanding between the divisions. But the premise of all this is practice (money), practice (money), practice (money). Because of the support of trade profits, Master Ying's living allowance is one and a half gold a year, the rich don't care about the money at all, and the poor have this money and the whole family can have no worries about food and clothing.
"General, our army is defeated!" Yang Xiong's surroundings were full of panicked voices. He watched the Qin army be crushed by the Chu army's spear array row by row, and then collapsed, but what was more deadly was not the Chu army in front of him, but the Chu army that was circling behind.
"Please leave quickly, if you don't leave quickly, we will all be prisoners." Everyone looked at the Chu army that landed on the side and rear, and their hearts were terrified. Previously, everyone wanted to enter the city, and then focused on the battle, but the Chu army's killing move was not on land, but on water.
"Withdraw!" The soldiers who landed on the shore were rushing to the official road on the shore, and Yang Xiong had to whip and flee in the struggle. As soon as he said to withdraw, all the vehicles of the Chinese army began to turn, and the hubs hit the wheels, and many of the spokes on the wheels were broken. But when he retreated, he didn't care so much about it, and he rode his horse to escape, even if the general on the car fell out of the carriage.
Because of the limitations of the terrain, not all Qin troops pursued the Chu army and squeezed into the narrow area between the Jingling Han River, and after the Qin army pursuing the Chu army was defeated, more than 10,000 Qin troops behind them guarded the second front. Unexpectedly, the Chu army's boat division attacked around the rear, and the main general Yang Xiong abandoned the formation and fled, and the more than 10,000 frightened Qin troops followed the formation.
The defeat was like a mountain, and the Qin army, which was originally in a strict array of 50,000, was now defeated, chased and beaten by the Ying division, and there were Hubei divisions in front of them to block it, and some Qin soldiers jumped into the Han River in a hurry. The Han water is also unsafe, the Chu army suddenly took the boat and was impatient to wait, and as soon as he saw the Qin soldiers jumping into the water, he stabbed them with a spear, and the Han water was red for a while.
"Quickly order them to surrender!" If it was in other battlefields, Xiong Jing would be happy to see the Qin army feeding the fish, but this was the old Chu land, and many of the Qin soldiers were actually from the old Yingchu people, so he naturally couldn't watch them feed the fish.
"The king has an order, and the old Chu people will not be killed. The king has an order, the old Chu people will not kill ......" The cavalry who gave the order quickly rushed forward and shouted. The Ying division and the Hu division, which surrounded the Qin army's rout, immediately stopped attacking, and the Chu soldiers on the storm no longer assassinated the Qin army's fugitive soldiers in the water.
"The king doesn't kill the old Chu people, and he doesn't abandon the soldiers!" Killing and suddenly being drunk, Yang Yu was angry in his heart, and he rushed through the array and shouted at the panicked Qin pawn, using Chu language.
"The king doesn't kill the old Chu people, and he doesn't abandon the soldiers!" The soldiers also put down their spears and drank with the raiser.
"The king has an order, and those who abandon the army can return home." The second royal order came again, and the Qin soldiers threw down their weapons one after another. The Eshi behind him made a way for them to retreat. Not all Qin soldiers threw down their weapons, but the Eshi who received the king's order turned a blind eye to this and allowed them to pass through their array.
"Long live the King! Long live the King! At this time, Master Ying began to shout long live, and then all the Chu soldiers shouted together.
"Jing people win! Jing people win! "The bloodstains in the county order mansion Mingtang have not dried, and the officials who fled just now ran back in the long live voice of the Chu army. Only then did they find that the heads of the county lieutenants and young men had been chopped off.
"Jing Ren has won, please decide." The officials panicked, and they approached Lu Xi and asked him to get an idea.
"Open the gates." Lu Xi had long wanted to open the city gate, but the Chu army had not yet won, and the people's hearts were unstable.
"Shangguan has an order, open the city gate." The order to open the city gate came out of the county office, and the east gate official hesitated slightly, and then nodded and asked the city gate guards around him to open the city gate. The drawbridge on the moat has been lowered, and as soon as the city gate is opened, the Chu soldiers outside the city rushed in fiercely, and they went straight to all parts of the city, but fortunately there was no killing.
"The county order is a Qin official who was bought by Zhibisi, called Lu Xi." Xiong Jing did not enter the city, but watched the whole city. As the liaison officer of Zhibisi, Nao Xin is introducing the situation of Jingling to Xiong Jing.
"He's from Qin?" The fact that Lingcheng did not open the door to allow the Qin army to retreat into the city is the credit of Zhibisi and the county order. There must be a reward for merit, but before rewarding, Xiong Jing must know who this Qin official is.
"Yes......" Nao Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "I know that Bisi once told this person that he was a Rong person." ”
"Rong people?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. "How can the Rong people be Qin officials?"
"It's Anlu's Lu Hun Zhirong." Nao channel. "I don't know if it's really a Rong person."
Lu Hun Rong does have the custom of being buried with a martyred horse, but it is difficult to say that the burial of a martyred horse must be Lu Hun Rong. Man is a strange animal, and his sense of belonging determines his behavior, and once his sense of belonging is destroyed, that behavior changes dramatically. Lu Xi was actually brainwashed by Zhibisi, and the highest level of brainwashing is to subvert the original identity in order to establish a new identity.
Xiong Jing didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to know if Lu Xi was from Qin. "In that case, reward it greatly."
"Yui." Nao Xin said.
"Order, outside the business travel in the city, the man who does not speak Chu is killed!" After saying the reward, Xiong Jing's face turned cold and he ordered to kill.
The Chu people can be let go, even if they don't lay down their weapons, but as long as it is the Qin people, they will be killed. Xiong Jing was short of breath when he gave the order, and his killing intent was pressing. Thinking of the sufferings suffered by the old Yingchu people, he had thought of more than a thousand ways to torture those sinners of the Qin State who had migrated, and in the end he felt that it was better not to be so cruel, not to crack the car, not to cook it, not to kill it, not to shoot .......
Xiong Jing, who took a few breaths, finally took a long breath, and he said again: "All the women are official slaves, and all those who are not registered are castrated." Also, the severed heads of the Qin people are piled up into Jingguan! ”
