Chapter 1012: Panic

"Listen to orders! By the king's order, enter! Advance!! ”

"Listen to orders! By the king's order, enter the ......"

"Every Soldier Obeys ...... Orders"

The orders to advance came and went, and the spear formations of one pawn after another followed the military flags of their divisions and brigades, or rushed down the ridge, or bypassed the foot of the mountain, and appeared in front of the Qin people little by little.

Yingshi was the first to hear the cannon fire from the top of Lingwu Mountain, and was the first to act according to Xiongjing's astonishment. The artillery, which had been hidden from firing, was now dragged to the rear of the spear array, and after the column was loaded, the commander gave the order, and the military formation suddenly broke off to the left and right.

With a normal level of training, the entire army formation in the battle was suddenly disconnected, and it was almost impossible to return to the original array, which meant that the entire army formation was dissolved. The Jing people's army formation suddenly disconnected, and the Qin soldiers were surprised for a while, they couldn't imagine why the Jing people did this.

"Wu ......" a Qin pawn standing at the forefront shouted to help everyone explain, his 'instrument' word has not yet been shouted, and the cannon pawn has already pulled the fire rope. The flint slammed into the iron sheet at high speed, creating a clump of fine sparks. 'Boom——! The smoke could not contain the blazing flames, and as the flames erupted from the muzzle, the shells flew out of the muzzle.

The two armies were separated by only one spear, and the cannonballs at such a close distance did not need to land and jump at all, and directly hit the Qin army's array, shattering all obstacles in the way forward, and then flew out from behind the formation with a whistling and flesh, fell to the ground and bounced again, flew again, and fell again......

The artillery bombardment made the most determined soldiers sluggish and fearful, and the whole army trembled and panicked. The cannon roared like thunder, shattering the previously menacing Qin pawn. In the roar of the artillery, the Qin soldiers were terrified of the artillery, and no one saw that the Chu army's spear array behind the artillery had been transformed into three shock phalanxes. The sound of the cannon quickly disappeared, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the first row of spearmen rushed towards with their spears held high.

It is the same as the tactic of cavalry first firing with bows and arrows, and then charging with heavy cavalry; The foot soldiers also gradually evolved the tactic of first bombarding with artillery, and then crushing with spears. This tactic is much more efficient and sharper than the previous one. In military affairs, there seems to be a law that magnets attract opposites: whenever the enemy army penetrates behind him, does not need any detour, does not make any attack, and just passes through harmlessly, the interspersed army will abide by the law of opposite-polar attraction, and immediately follow the interspersed enemy army to retreat urgently, without falling behind half a step.

The spearmen of the Yingshi easily penetrated the Qin army's front, and then ignored the Qin people on both sides and rushed forward directly to seize the pontoon bridge on the Ru River. The Qin army on both sides seemed to be dragged by the neck of the Chu army with an invisible rope, and the originally complete front immediately collapsed, and the general retreated sharply, and the soldiers rushed regardless of the array, in a vain attempt to seize the front of the Chu army.

It didn't matter what Qin Jun was doing, he only asked them not to block his way. It's a pity that the retreating Qin army blocked the way of the Yingshi, and the guards cavalry wanted to drive them away, but the guards cavalry was still too few, and the Chu cavalry was all at the east end of Shoushan. According to the plan, it was not the Zhao army on the west side that attacked first, but the cavalry of the Chu army at the eastern end of Shoushan that attacked first.

The Qin army climbed over Shoushan in a vain attempt to encircle the Chu army - the terrain on the south bank of Rushui, the position of the Qin army, and the position of the Chu army all determined that the Qin army would inevitably adopt this method to encircle and annihilate the Chu army. And the Chu army's counter-encirclement and annihilation of the Qin army could only be launched from the easternmost part of Shoushan. At this time, there was an accident in the Chu army, and it was obviously powerless for the direction of Wushan to block Rushui first.

If the Qin army blocking the way is lined up, the Yingshi can penetrate with one blow, and now the Qin army and the Chu army are competing for the road, which delays the Chu army more than the former. The advancing spearmen had to hastily line up to drive out the Qin troops approaching him on the left and right.

However, as soon as Wushan moved, the Qin army that was arraying between the opening of Wushan and Shoushan immediately responded, and they also hurriedly retreated to Rushui behind them to prevent Yingshi from crossing the water. The rushing Yingshi was able to run at first, then only on foot, and finally had to re-array, and the artillerymen again released a column to bombard the enemy who was blocked in the way of the advance.

The Qin army was originally a battle line that advanced south from Wushan and Shoushan, and its western end was rapidly bent back to block the advancing Yingshi and Zhao armies; When the fastest cavalry rushed out from the eastern end of Shoushan, the Qin army on the eastern side of Shoushan also bent back sharply.

For a time, the left, center, and right armies of the Qin army were broken, and Zhao Wan's left army became a separate army, and this army also retreated rapidly, but the right army of the Chu army, which was supposed to be contained, immediately stepped forward to fight and counter-contained the left army; The Right Army and the Central Army, like the previous Yingshi, bent their backs to Rushui into a semi-circular formation, in a vain attempt to keep their retreat from being cut off. It's a pity that he was caught off guard, this semi-circle array is full of loopholes, it can block the Yingshi who is also a foot soldier, but it can't stop the Chu cavalry led by Fu Jing and Xiang Chao.

Li Xin was standing on the chariot, and the first mountain was in front of him. Unlike other mountain ranges in the Central Plains, the rocks of Shoushan are red. When he crossed the Rushui just now, he also said that he would choose a stone of the first mountain to offer to the king, but he did not expect that he was only a few hundred steps away from the first mountain, and now it has become the closest distance.

The Chu army had 15,000 cavalry, and Li Xin also had a cavalry of about 2,000 men, perhaps repulsion. As soon as the Chu cavalry bypassed the eastern end of Shoushan, it quickly inserted itself behind the Qin Zhong army, and some of them were led by Xiang Chao and went straight to the banner, and the Qin cavalry immediately stepped forward to block it; The other part was led by Concubine Jing and crossed directly behind the Chinese army. Their target was not the Qin soldiers, but the commanders, Qu Xiao, two or five hundred lords, five hundred lords, one hundred generals, and tun commanders in the rear of the Qin army's array, as well as the short soldiers who protected these people.

If 340,000 people want to encircle and annihilate 400,000 people, and the best way for small fish to eat big fish is to dismember the organization. Officers are the nodes of the organization, orders are issued by officers, and military information is transmitted by officers, and if these nodes are defeated, the Qin army will fall into disorderly paralysis. Even if they were able to escape to the north shore of the Rushui, they would not be able to escape far, and they could easily get lost in the escape.

In the constant sound of cymbals, these people were easy to find, because they were all riding on the retreating chariot. Fei Jing rushed to the front first, but after shooting the five hundred lords on the outermost cart, the people went around in circles on the snow to observe the situation of the enemy and our army. According to the observed situation, the cavalry behind him, which had not yet been engaged in battle, was assigned to a suitable position.

The infantry was too slow, and the cavalry suddenly rushed behind them and slashed the officers behind the formation, which suddenly mutilated the left flank of the Chinese army, and the eastern army formation almost collapsed. Li Xin looked at this scene and suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart: he might die here. This thought made his mind flustered again. The general, who did not know that he had fallen into a panic, was shouting in his ear:

"Order, please, General! It's too late! It's too late to ......."

"Jing people set up an ambush, our army should retreat quickly, and our army should retreat quickly......"

"Rear Army! Our army is ......, and the general asks the army to come to the rescue......"
