Chapter 386: Overwhelming Victory
The offensive of tens of thousands of people was like a raging river that was abruptly stopped, and the shock brought by it not only made the Wuling army stunned, but also the surprise beyond words, and even the Yulin army and the Xiangyang army were very surprised.
Fang De quickly accepted this reality with relief, precisely because Fang De saw that although the offensive of the cloth soldiers of the Wuling Army was fierce, it was due to the fact that those chariot-like things in front of the Great Qin Army could instantly spray tens of thousands of dense arrows, thus blocking these cloth soldiers from rushing into the Chinese army array.
"Is this the new weapon that Jiang Xia has recently developed?" Fang Hui, the son of Fang De, who was still surprised, also looked at the hundreds of chariots in front of the Yunmeng Army, and he could just see these objects in Ruoguan, but he didn't care about it at the time, who would have thought that this inconspicuous object would be able to have such a deterrent power!
Seeing that Yunmengjun actually has such a lethal weapon, Fang Hui is also a little bitter, although the standard weapons of the Yulin Army have been updated by the Shanglin Yuan Foundry, but the overall level is still stuck in two years ago when Gongzi Yan ruled, at most, the wrought iron skills of casting weapons have advanced a lot.
And the old army, which did not pay much attention to it in the past, can indeed have such weapons, but ten thousand arrows are fired at once, how good it would be if it was placed in their own army!
Fang De is already nearly half a hundred years old, and he doesn't look at these things heavily, and he doesn't have the youthful heart of his son Fang Hui, so he also instructed: "Gongziyan has his own arrangements for the Chinese army, and a certain major thing is to cooperate with the Chinese army to meet the next Xiong Ji Revolutionary Army!" ”
Although Fang Hui knew this, he still said with a strong mouth: "Father, in the previous battles of the southern border, the Yulin Army served as the main force, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Jiangxia militia at the beginning, and my son is really unwilling!" ”
The Yulin Army was first built only a few years, but after Han Kui took charge of the Great Qin Dynasty, the many changes implemented were also retained as the identity of the Fang family as the chief general of the Yulin Army, and now the Fang family has also changed from the original border army clan to the henchman surnamed Lin, although it is in Wancheng, there is still the supervision of the general Sheng Nong, Huangfu and other Qin Gong's real henchmen, but it is undeniable that the influence of the Fang family in the Yulin Army can only be surpassed by Gongzi Yan, who established this army, as for the rest, it is absolutely impossible.
Fang Hui has not yet comprehended the original strategy of the old Qin people to govern the army, and now the Great Qin no longer implements the so-called [family general system], and it is precisely because of this that Fang Hui inevitably regards the glory of the Yulin Army as the honor and disgrace of the Fang family.
Fang De turned his head and looked at his son Fang Hui and said: "You don't have to fight with others on this matter, if you have the heart to compare, you will have to compete with Yunmengjun again in the next big battle!" ”
Fang Hui nodded and arched his hand at Fang De, "The child knows!" ”
The left army of the Great Qin army, Chen Zhiqing and other generals of the Xiangyang army, looking at the formation of Fang Cai from the side, were also very surprised, they did not expect that the Xiong Ji Buyi army, which was as overwhelming as a flood, was actually under the fire of ten thousand arrows, and it was difficult to advance half a step!
Chen Zhiqing's slightly pale face in the past was also a little red because of what he saw in front of him, staring at the front of the Chinese army, and finally said: "I only know now, why Gongziyan chose to use Yunmengjun as the main Chinese army!" ”
Immediately, Chen Zhiqing also fell into a little panic, the Yulin Army was able to pull out the first credit, Chen Zhiqing was still able to accept it, after all, the Yulin Army was formed a longer time than the Xiangyang Army, and it was still the direct line of Daqin's soldiers and horses, but this Jiangxia Army was the same as the start of the Xiangyang Army, and I didn't expect that it would have such a deterrent power today.
Chen Zhiqing also turned around and warned many generals in the army: "After a while, it will be a fight between the two armies, and you must give orders to the left army and try your best to kill the enemy!" ”
"Whoa!" It was also the many generals of the Xiangyang Army who were surprised by the Yuanrong camp of the Yunmeng Army to respond with their fists.
……
Xiong Ji looked at the formation of the Qin army after the impact of tens of thousands of cloth soldiers, except for the corpse wall erected in front, there were no casualties for the Qin army!
Xiong Ji's eyes were cracked, he was angry, scolding the untouchables for being useless, and then he also looked at the chariot in front of the Qin army's formation that could form a momentum of ten thousand arrows, and it seemed that it took a long time to load the arrows again, and immediately ordered: "The Qin people's arrows are used up, and I will go with a certain person to destroy the Qin people's military array!" ”
Xiong Lie, who was beside Xiong Ji, also stopped the former and admonished: "Xizhu Kingdom, the Qin people have always been treacherous, please let a certain lead the army to plunder the formation!" ”
Xiong Ji was also awakened by the momentum of the Qin army's ten thousand arrows, and immediately patted Xiong Lie on the shoulder, and said: "You lead the army to sweep the formation from it, and let Xiong Luan and Qu Qi block the Qin army's left and right for you, and let you fight with all your might!" ”
"Whoa!" Xiong Lie answered, picked up a half-foot-long stick, and there were sharp teeth on the stick, and led the soldiers waiting at the city gate to sweep the formation.
Subsequently, Xiong Luan and Qu Qi, who were ordered, also led a group of soldiers and horses out of the east and west city gates to attack the left and right armies of the Qin army.
This is a soldier, but a soldier sent by Yingdu, even Xiong Ji sometimes can't help but covet the heart in his heart, wanting to kill the reinforcements in charge of the generals and take them for his own use, but at the moment of the great enemy, although Xiong Ji is greedy, he also knows the measure, so he didn't do it.
Xiong Ji was also curious, when would the king of Nan be able to scavenge so much grain and cloth from Yuzhang, Guiyang and other poor countryside for six or seven years, and raise these soldiers.
It is precisely because there are too many uncertainties, especially the calculation of the old thing in Yingdu, Xiong Ji is also willing to be a knife in Jing Kingdom for the time being, and he also intends to use the family background of Nanwang on the blade.
Sure enough, seeing a large number of leather armor troops sent out by Lu County, those Qin soldiers and soldiers were also pushing the chariot with ten thousand arrows, and after returning to the main formation, Xiong Ji was secretly relieved, this Qin people's crossbow, the deterrent power is indeed not low, but it takes a lot of time to reinstall the arrows, and for the leather armor soldiers in armor, it is definitely not comparable to those untouchables!
After the banner of the Qin army, a lot of regular soldiers poured out, which also made Xiong Ji laugh: "It seems that the Qin army is planning to fight with a certain army in a short handover!" ”
Handover!
This is almost what Xiong Ji is most willing to see, although Jing's armament is definitely inferior to Qin's army, but don't forget, Jing's most important thing is people!
Even if the Qin army loses nearly ninety percent of the soldiers if it wins this battle, Xiong Ji will not blink an eye and hesitate, as long as this battle can be won, Xiong Ji is willing to exchange the lives of three Jing people for one Qin person, as long as he gets these armaments from the Qin army and Yingdu reinforcements, Xiong Ji will be able to pull up more troops than now in less than half a month!
Besides, that's the armament of the Qin State!
Xiong Ji thought of the instrument that Qin Jun could use to shoot thousands of arrows, and he also licked his chapped lips, and a greedy look appeared.
Xiong Lie, as Xiong Ji's henchman, was almost willing to give his life for Xiong Ji's loyalty, and led the troops out of the city gate, also taking into account the ten thousand arrows of the Qin army, without the slightest hesitation, he led the troops to rush into the array of the Qin army.
On the way, he also met the soldiers who came back from the rout, Xiong Lie also raised the sharp-toothed stick in his hand, smashed it into a pulp, and wiped the blood splashed on his face, Xiong Lie actually had an aftertaste look, and then stared at the camp of the Qin army, and shouted angrily: "Tear them apart for a certain person, and if you take Ruoguan, you will slaughter the city!" ”
Slaughter the city!
As soon as they heard this word, these leather armor soldiers were already shining in their eyes, they could distinguish them from the cloth soldiers, in addition to some joint relations between themselves and the upper-level generals of Jing State, as well as this leather armor on their own body, in Jingdi, for a pair of leather armor, it was enough to make the father and son turn against each other, and the tragedy of the brother wall happened, and to do the leather armor army, it was possible to directly divide the spoils after the victory of the Jing State War.
For example, when the Wuling army went west out of Jiangguan, attacked a city in Pakistan, killed a Xiong general, and made Xizhuguo promise to slaughter the city.
Especially this time, it was the Qin State that was going to slaughter the city, and he had long heard that there was a lot of grain savings in the southern county of the Qin State, as well as those women of the Qin people...... There is nothing more than this naked temptation to move these soldiers in leather armor, and they rushed towards the Qin army with a burst of killing voices at the moment.
The sharp soldiers of the Qin army, dressed in iron armor and holding long knives, also charged towards the side of Jing State, and the speed was not fast, but the Great Qin soldiers lined up seemed to be advancing in parallel like an iron curtain.
"Whew!"
It seems that in the handover between the Great Qin soldiers and these leather armor soldiers, the strong collision between the metals came out of a beam of sparks, and seeing that the Qin people fell into their calculations, Xiong Ji's heart settled down a little, and he stared at the edge of the two armies, and there was a sound of swords and armor colliding, which was extremely pleasant.
Xiong Lie, who led the army to sweep the battle, also pushed aside two or three of his own soldiers, and when he saw the soldiers of the Qin people, he waved the big stick in his hand and picked it up.
The stick was supposed to be a natural tree trunk, and later it was embedded with a spike by a craftsman, and in the past, Xiong Lie often took the lead, wielding the stick was to set off a bloody storm!
Today is no exception, Xiong Lie waved a big stick, that is, he overturned a soldier of Great Qin, but it was not like before, the plasma was smashed out, but it directly smashed this soldier of the Qin State, Xiong Lie was a little surprised, just wanted to take a step forward and take another hammer, but he didn't expect that there was a Qin general on horseback in front of him.
General Qin shouted at Xiong Lie, "Come and kill you", that is, he directly raised the spear to stab, Xiong Ji instinctively wanted to use the big stick in his hand to pull away the spear, but he was poked by the spear in the middle of the big stick, which directly made Xiong Lie take several steps back!
"That's a lot of strength!" Xiong Lie also sighed, he was brave, but he didn't expect that in the confrontation with General Qin, he faintly fell into the inferiority, but Xiong Lie still looked at General Qin's war horse, and said angrily: "It's just that I have some horses, so I'll kill your mount now!" ”
This Qin general is naturally the current Yunmeng Army's main general Ji Hunt, he turned around by mistake, and after stabbing to death two leather armor soldiers who were blocking the way, he fought with Xiong Lie again.
"What a mighty boy!"
Xiong Ji stood at the head of the city, staring intently at the battlefield of the battle, Jingdi was already short of horses, so that even the high-level generals of the Wuling Army were on foot, not that there were no horses for them to follow, but these generals from Jingren had never been trained to ride war horses, and for them, horses were far from standing on the ground.
It is precisely because of this that Ji Hunt, who is riding a horse and holding a spear, is particularly eye-catching, especially in the face of a rare fierce general in the army like Xiong Lie, who actually has the upper hand and holds down one head steadily, so that Xiong Lie also has to admire.
At this moment, Xiong Ben, who had been by his side, pointed to other places on the battlefield and said in a panic: "Xizhu Kingdom, look, the Qin soldiers are approaching!" ”
Xiong Ji followed Xiong Ben's point, looked over, and his eyes suddenly became solemn, because he found that the soldiers who had originally charged the most fiercely were actually pressed by the soldiers of the Qin State, constantly reversing the edge of the battle.
"Qin Bing, how could it be!" Xiong Ji didn't expect this situation, he would rather exchange three for one and consume the Qin army, but he didn't implement his expectations, but was constantly suppressed by the Qin soldiers.
Xiong Ji stared carefully at the fighting soldiers, but suddenly found that in the front of the Qin army, Xiong Ji was already a soldier of the Qin State who could see clearly, fully armed, wearing armor, and the bronze spearhead of his own leather armor soldiers actually appeared to have a broken blade!
Moreover, the weapons of the Qin soldiers have never been seen before, unlike the long-handled wide knives, the blades of the Qin soldiers are six or seven feet long, half of which are the handles of the handshakes, and the blades used to slash are slender and slender!
"With such a thin blade, how can you cut through a thick bronze blade!" Xiong Ji still didn't understand that the iron forging skills of the Qin State had undergone earth-shaking changes, and it was difficult to understand why the slender blade of the Qin State was cut even by the thick bronze sword.
Xiong Ji was still entangled in this matter, but Xiong Ben was scared half to death by the soldiers of the Qin State, his own sword could not cut through the armor of the Qin soldiers, and his own leather armor sword was like a mud pinch, which could be easily broken!
What else is there to fight in this battle!
It is said that Xiong Lie over there was fighting with Ji Hunt like a fascination, and he didn't notice that the soldiers around him were either killed or routed to the side, and by the time Xiong Lie found out, he was already surrounded by heavily armed Qin soldiers!
The confrontation between the two armies, the most important thing is morale, one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, it is precisely because of this that the morale of the Great Qin army that constantly oppresses the retreat of the soldiers of Jing State is naturally flourishing, on the other hand, the soldiers of Jingdi have seen those heavily armed Great Qin soldiers, and they have a deep fear from their hearts!
These stubborn and stubborn Great Qin soldiers are fully armed, and even their faces are covered with a mask, leaving only murderous eyes, and the armed armor on their bodies can't even see a trace of slits, and the Great Qin soldiers who can be seen are all seven feet tall, and in front of the generally short Jing people, they are a head and a half taller!
The leather armor soldiers of Jing State, although they have blades in their hands, they saw that they were cut on the bodies of the soldiers of the Qin State, and the other party had nothing to do, and their side was either a curling blade or a folding blade, followed by the sharp blades of the Qin soldiers, cutting off their leather armor effortlessly, and directly chopping and separating them with flesh and blood!
The blood flowing from the huge wound splashed the blood stains of the Great Qin soldiers, making the Jing Ren Leather Armor Soldiers, who originally wanted to fight bloodily, already tremble when they saw the fierce and vicious Great Qin soldiers!
The soldiers of the Qin army had already advanced the lines of the two armies for more than ten zhang, and the general of the Xiong Ji army, Xiong Lie, was already under siege!
Ji Hunt sneered, picked up the horse's belly, and rushed straight towards Xiong Lie, first before Xiong Lie picked up the big stick in his hand, he threw the spear towards Xiong Lie, only to see that it just penetrated Xiong Lie's chest and directly stuck it on the ground.
Ji Hunt drove the horse in, and he held the spear that penetrated Xiong Lie's chest with both hands, and provoked it vigorously, even the horse under the crotch felt a little difficult, and sank down, and the strong Xiong Lie's corpse was picked up by Ji Lie: "The enemy general is dead, and you will not surrender!" ”
After Ji Zhan shouted, the Great Qin soldiers also shook the weapons in their hands, and shouted to the Jing State Revolutionary Armor soldiers who were already afraid: "Surrender and don't kill!" Surrender without killing...... Surrender or kill! ”
Xiong Ji didn't expect that the persuasion of the Qin army on the battlefield actually overwhelmed the chaotic sound of the two armies fighting, which already means that Xiong Ji has already lost this battle!
After operating for a long time, Xiong Ji didn't expect that Lu County, who had given the Qin army as a place to bury his bones, would be able to let himself lose so quickly!
Xiong Ben on the side was already like a frightened bird looking at the situation on the battlefield and shouted: "Xiong Lie...... Dead in battle! ”
Xiong Ji looked over, that Qin General used a spear to lift Xiong Lie's body, Xiong Lie didn't seem to be dead, his hands and feet were still twitching, it was precisely because of this that everyone was terrified, how much arm strength it took to provoke Xiong Ji!
Everyone regarded Ji Hunt as a killing god and didn't dare to look up!
"Report! The left army of the Qin State has already torn through General Xiong Luan's defense line! ”
"Report! General Qu Qi could not stop the onslaught of the right army of the Qin State and asked for reinforcements! ”
Two pieces of news in succession completely ignited Xiong Ji, he pulled out the long sword on his waist, and killed the two soldiers who gave the order on the spot, and then glared at Xiong Ben with tiger eyes: "Put your 20,000 horses into the battlefield, not to win, just to tear the array of the Qin army!" ”
Xiong Ben hesitated, he was so frightened by the miracle of the Qin army that he didn't dare to go out of the city, knowing that Xiong Ji was still angry at this time, he didn't dare to say much, and was about to agree, but after noticing the Qin army's array, there seemed to be some movement, and when he looked at it at the moment, when he saw it clearly, he was already panicked and said to Xiong Ji: "Xizhu Kingdom, the siege equipment of the Qin army is already here!" ”
Xiong Ji looked over, and sure enough, behind the camp of the Qin army, the towering catapults slowly advanced, making Xiong Ji's complexion change again, I didn't expect that the Qin army was so confident that the siege equipment was transported directly from Ruoguan to Lu County, isn't it afraid that this Lu County will smash its teeth!
Xiong Ben still retained a trace of reason, and said at the moment: "Xizhu Kingdom, Lu County can't hold it, if you retreat to Yanling, with Han water and salt water to block, a certain army will definitely be able to make it difficult for the Qin army to step into the land of Hannan by half a step!" ”
It seemed that he felt that this still couldn't convince Xiong Ji, Xiong Ben still took a step closer and reminded Xiong Ji: "Xizhu Kingdom, the Wuling Army is his own people after all, and he really shouldn't be buried in this Lu County...... And Yingdu is staring at it again! ”
Xiong Ben mentioned Yingdu, it seemed that he thought of an old thing that had been calculated by a certain organ, Xiong Ji finally calmed down, and looked at the ghost-like Qin ** team at the moment, and he also had the intention of retreating, so he said to Xiong Ben: "Inform the generals of the Wuling Army and withdraw the army!" ”
Xiong Ben naturally knew what Xiong Ji meant by the "generals of the Wuling Army", which was nothing more than to let Qu Qi and others from the Yingdu family be the queen of the Wuling Army after retreating, but Xiong Ben still hesitated and said: "Xizhuguo, do you want to send someone to call back General Doulei?" ”
Xiong Ben said that the fortress is also the general of the Yingdu family, but there is the main force of 20,000 leather armor troops under his command, which is what Xiong Ji now calls "this battle ambush", and Xiong Ben also wants to preserve some of the strength of the Gong Guard Yanling.
Xiong Ji thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "With Qu Qi and the others, they can't stop the Qin army, so they will leave the base behind the Qin army to pull the Qin army for a certain army, after all, the Qin people have horses!" ”
Xiong Ben was helpless, and nodded in response.
Therefore, Xiong Ji has his own little abacus, so the withdrawal of troops did not carry out the [Mingjin Withdrawal] on the surface, but secretly informed some generals of the Wuling Army, and the rest of the reinforcement generals who seemed to be sent by Qu Yan and other Yingdu were deceived to continue to hold on, and the reinforcements were about to be sent.
Therefore, after the Xiangyang army faced Xiong Luan got the order, he did not stop at all, and rushed directly to join the Chinese army, but it was the most elite Yulin army in the last southern expedition, because of the trade-off in the face of Xiong Ji, it was intercepted desperately by Qu Qi's headquarters, or Hu Yi Oyster led a part of the Yunmeng army to break the siege, so that this battle finally ended!
"It's really a tiger general!"
Chen Zhiqing first saw Ji Hunt's great power on the battlefield, and he was also quite admired, unlike Xiong Ji, although Chen Zhiqing was also a general who traveled with the army, but most of them were in the way of using soldiers, like Ji Hunt's bloody battles, Chen Zhiqing was also amazed.
Even Fang Hui, who was not convinced by Yunmengjun before, also let go of the mustard in his heart at this time, Ji Hunt is indeed a mighty tiger general, Fang Hui is convinced!
However, Fang De, the general of the Yulin Army, did not fall on the mighty Ji Hunt, but stared at the soldiers around Ji Hunt, as if he noticed that there was something different between these soldiers.
The defeat of Xiong Ji's army was already a foregone conclusion, when Daqin's catapult had already advanced, and after firing a few stone bullets to break the low city wall of Lu County, it was finally found that Xiong Ji's army had been defeated and retreated.
The Qin army only rode forward to catch up, but it was not that Kou Mo was chasing after him, this time he went to chase just for the Great Qin army to better take over Lu County.
When the Qin army entered Lu County, there was also a camp built by Xiong Ji's army, so there was no need to worry much, and the top priority at the moment should be to count the casualties of this battle, collect the prisoners of Jingdi, and write a letter to the Great Qin Wancheng and the Lord of the Chu State Alliance on the real-time battle situation.
When all the generals asked to take advantage of the victory to pursue Xiong Ji's defeated army, Lin Yuyan also hesitated, at this time, taking advantage of the victory to pursue and kill some more Jingdi soldiers, and attacking Yanling in the future was also less pressure, but there were also some other concerns.
The battle report from the commander also made Lin Yuyan make a final decision, that is, withdraw the troops and return to Ruoguan!
The generals waiting outside the tent were all a little puzzled, and Lin Yuyan immediately told the real reason.
The commander reported that a large number of leather armor troops from Jingdi suddenly appeared ten miles after the Qin army, and the enemy situation was unknown, at least 20,000.
All the generals were shocked, at this time, 20,000 enemy elites emerged behind the Qin army, and all the generals were undoubtedly determined, but they were heading for Ruoguan!
The Qin army's southern conscription horses poured out, and there were not many soldiers and horses guarding Ruoguan, so it must be impossible to stop the 20,000 Jingdi Leather Armor Army for a long time, and after Ruoguan, it was the granary of the Great Qin's southern conscription horses - the entire Nanjun!
Therefore, Lin Yuyan sent the cavalry of the Yulin Army to rush back to Ruoguan to rescue first, and then led most of the Qin army back!
