Chapter 121: Half

The detour of the cavalry of the two armies plunged the whole battle into chaos, and the front and rear were flanked, and the six newly formed divisions in the Chu army's array were all routed. In addition to the four divisions of Youque, the 30 divisions of the Chu army were arranged in the array, with 190,000 people in terms of establishment, plus more than 20,000 Zhao troops, the number was 210,000.

But in fact, there were only 3,600 spearmen and 576 archers in each division, and there were only 150,000 armorers in the main array. Of the eight new divisions, two belonged to Youque, and six were arranged in the main front, and these six divisions had to subtract more than 3,000 archers. Overall, the number of combatants in the arrays of the two sides was one to two, and with nearly 40,000 cavalry, the Qin army had an overwhelming advantage in strength.

With such an advantage, it was not surprising that the Chu army was broken through the front, and it was not surprising that the six newly formed divisions with weak fighting spirit were scattered. In the eyes of Deng Sui, the general of the Yingshi, the Chu army under the attack of the Qin army's infantry and cavalry was like a sea boat in a stormy sea, relying on the flat laying of the spear to support it. The Qin people besieging the Chu army were like ocean waves, they had no way to break the sea boat and could only submerge the sea boat for a short time, whenever the tide receded, the sea boat would be exposed to the water, leaving countless Qin army corpses next to the boat.

In this case, the Chu army had no way to command, and all the forces of the Chu army had already been thrown into the battlefield. The only thing that could be relied on was the efforts of the divisions and brigades themselves, as well as the detour of the cavalry led by Yu Jing. However, in the face of the heavily fortified and surrounded by carriages of the Qin army, Xiang Chao's heavy cavalry had no way to break the formation.

The battle was completely deadlocked, and neither side could help the other. The biggest mistake of the Chu army in this battle was not that the troops were too small or the reconnaissance was unfavorable, but that the artillery did not play a decisive role. Deng Sui felt this way, and deeply regretted it. If there were more artillery, a wider array of artillerymen, and a calmer mentality, this battle would have been a different ending.

"Where is the king?" Deng Sui looked at Zhuang Wudi, who was unable to command the battle formation of the Chu army in front of him, with regret, and kept staring at Xiong Jing who was playing hide and seek with the Qin people. People will cry when they stare into the distance for too long, and he will cry, and when he wipes his tears and looks again, Xiong Jing has disappeared.

"Yu, Yu Sima...... "Looking at Xiong Jing is not only Zhuang Wudi, but also a lookout standing on a high place." The king crosses the water also. ”

Xiong Jing kept running east, not south. To the east, the Yingshui tributary on which the Qin army was backed was infinitely close to Rushui, and the nearest point was only about four or five miles. The lookout saw Xiong Jing run into the area and then disappear.

"Great King, Great King......" Zhuang Wudi held Lu Lijing and looked in this direction, looking for the snow in front of Qin Qi, while muttering to himself in his mouth. In his opinion, Xiong Jing's safety is the most important, even if the Chu army is defeated in this battle, it doesn't matter compared to it. He never once admonished Xiong Jing about this point of view, but unfortunately Xiong Jing didn't listen to it every time.

Xiong Jing has no heirs, and even if he has children, he is still young, and Xiong Qiang, who is about to be crowned, is obviously a threat, and people with ulterior motives may instigate Xiong Gang to seize the throne again. It is impossible for a Chu state with civil strife to resist the Qin people; Even if Xiong Han ascended the throne, with his weak temperament, he would not be able to lead the Chu State to resist the Qin people.

Zhuang Wudi couldn't find Xiong Jing, and his tears couldn't help but flow down again, and then he looked at his hand and said 'ah', and shouted a word to the king, and he saw the phoenix flag fluttering in the north wind again. Just when he was worried that Qin Qi would threaten Xiong Jing's safety again, there were several military flags of the Xishi Division and the Chengyang Division that appeared with the king.

The journey of more than 20 miles is an easy thing to get tired. Although Qin Ma couldn't run away from Longma, but Longma ran back after meeting the enemy and broke through the interception of the Yiqu people, these are extremely physically demanding things, Xiong Jing barely ran to the east to the Rushui pontoon bridge and couldn't run, fortunately, the Xishi Division and the Chengyang Division that belonged to the left army and were arranged on the right flank were crossing the water after the enemy was defeated.

At this time, the division and brigade on the south bank of Rushui had received Xiong Jing's royal order to abandon the current enemy and hurriedly rescue. Cheng Tong, the general of the rest division, saw Wang Qi running towards him, followed by countless Qin cavalry, and immediately ordered the whole division to form an impact phalanx, and the archers shot the Qin cavalry to protect Xiong Jing and others who rushed over.

The cavalry of the Qin army has stirrups, but the range of the bow is still not as good as the foot bow, more than 1,000 archers of the two divisions shot the nearest Yiqu people on their backs, Xiong Jing took the guards knights who had accumulated good horsepower to counterattack, and after slashing and killing dozens of enemy horsemen, the surrounding Qin cavalry gradually retreated from the range of the archers of the two divisions.

The divisions and brigades that remained in Runan to annihilate the enemy were all warlike divisions and brigades, such as the Xi Division, the Chengyang Division, the Qi Si Division, the Chen Division, the Xia Cai Division, the Huainan Division, and the four Ludi Divisions, and finally Sima Shang's 50,000 Zhao Army. When the military flags of these divisions and brigades appeared in everyone's field of vision, the Chu soldiers who were struggling broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, these ten divisions plus 50,000 Zhao troops entered the battle, and the Qin army was undoubtedly defeated.

The truth that the Chu army understands naturally also understands the Qin army, and before the Chu army finished cheering, the sound of the Qin army's shogunate sounded again. As if the sea water was ebbing, more than 300,000 Qin troops retreated desperately, the Chu soldiers and soldiers bit tightly, but unfortunately only a few could bite the Qin army, and most of the Chu army divisions and brigades in the front and rear were broken, as soon as the Qin army retreated, the wounded soldiers fell to the ground, and the shouts of 'medical soldiers, medical soldiers, ......' were endless.

Xiong Jing's arm holding the sword was a little weak, and he trembled slightly if he didn't use force. What he saw was like a sandy beach after the tide had fallen, the corpses of the enemy and our armies were lying on it, the Chu army array was very broken, and the soldiers were either wounded or sitting on the ground exhausted. The snow began to fall again, and the falling snowflakes fell on the pool of blood, covering it little by little.

"Boom, boom——!" The artillerymen who didn't have a chance to fire just now aimed at the retreating Qin army and opened fire quickly, although they could kill some Qin soldiers, but it was too late. The cavalry of the Qin army not only stopped their own cavalry, but also killed the small group of Chu troops that were pursuing.

"Please chase after the king!" The left army fighting in the pheasant was not attacked by the Qin cavalry, and the division and brigade remained the most intact.

"The Qin people are not defeated, our army is exhausted, how can we chase it again? It can be chased, but it cannot be fought. Zhuang Wudi hurriedly blocked, the Yingshi who withdrew from the whole army's front was the focus of the Qin cavalry's attack, wave after wave of Qin cavalry attacked the Yingshi on three sides, and the Yingshi was very wounded, so he could take advantage of the situation to pursue, but he opposed fighting again.

"All divisions are broken." Sima Pengzong also said. "The battleable army is only the pawns of the ten divisions on the south bank and the 50,000 Zhao army, and these 100,000 people are invincible."

The more than 300,000 foot soldiers of the Qin army were all elite, and the cavalry was all on the army, and the Chu army made the mistake of adding fuel in order to annihilate the Qin army on the south bank.

"How many soldiers can fight in each division?" When the Qin army retreated, the pontoon bridge was destroyed, the soldiers were building the bridge, the commanders of the divisions had gathered under the banner of the phoenix, and Xiong Jing was calculating his strength in his heart - plus more than 10,000 cavalry, the fresh force was only 100,000.

"Master Ying's battle is only half of it." Deng Sui's answer made his heart half cold.
