Chapter 90: The Yellow Sparrow Follows (Part I)
After the hillside, the scene of the Chu army pouring into the city was all seen by Tian Wen.
"Childe, when are we going to act?"
"There's no hurry." Tian Wen waved his hand and said, "You gather the army and be ready at any time." ”
"Whoa!"
The fighting in the city was extremely fierce, and the two thousand soldiers of the Qi Kingdom, in addition to those on the city wall and those who died at the city gate, still had nearly seven or eight hundred people.
And some of these seven or eight hundred people were mixed in with the people. The people who wore the armor of the Qi army and held weapons actually did not seem to have much difference with the Qi army.
Therefore, the Chu army that entered the city was not only killing the Qi army, but also not letting go of the people.
Moreover, according to Zhou Yu's order, after they broke through the city gate, they must arrive at the west gate as soon as possible, and flank the Huang Ning army outside the city.
The sound of shouting and killing, even Tian Wen, who was standing on the hillside, could hear it clearly.
However, Tian Wen's eyes were fixed on the big that had still not moved.
Finally, after half an hour, in addition to the two thousand Changxiu troops guarding Xia Huan's side, the entire Chu army was left with only three thousand rear troops.
And Zhou Yu, who was in charge of commanding the army, had also entered the city with the Chinese army.
"Your Highness, General Zhou has sent news that the enemy at the gate of the city has been cleared, and His Highness can enter the city." A small soldier in charge of the order knelt down on one knee in front of Xia Huan and reported.
"Got it." Xia Huan nodded, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.
For some reason, he always felt that this attack was somewhat smooth.
Put yourself in your shoes, as a general of the Qi State, even if you are completely sure, you should stick to the city. Why did they take the initiative when the situation was unclear?
Xia Huan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think about the reason clearly. In the end, looking at the corpses up and down the city wall, he could only understand that the generals of Qi who were stationed in the city were people who were very happy.
"Let's go into town." With a wave of his hand, Xia Huan rode his horse and slowly moved forward surrounded by everyone.
"Kill!"
However, almost not long after Xia Huan Daxu moved, a shout of killing suddenly sounded from behind him.
"What people!"
Beside Xia Huan, Chen Zhaoming, who was dressed in silver armor, was also riding on a horse, looking at the more than 4,000 Qi soldiers who suddenly rushed out with some nervousness.
"Ambush?"
This was the first reaction in Xia Huan's mind, but after a little thought, Xia Huan denied the idea.
In addition to the 15,000 people who have been wiped out by the Huangning army, there are more than 5,000 people in Lu County, and with these 20,000 soldiers as bait, Qi Guo is absolutely reluctant.
If it's not an ambush, then it's only reinforcements.
However, even the closest county to Lu County would take more than half a day to arrive in a hurry.
Looking at the appearance of the person in front of him, it is obvious that he is waiting for work, and he definitely not just arrived.
Tian Wen didn't leave Xia Huan time to think more, and the four thousand soldiers pounced on the Changxiu army and the three thousand Chu army at the fastest speed.
Although in terms of numbers, the Chu army is going to have an advantage.
However, in fact, in the face of the rapidly rushing Qi army, the three thousand Chu army, which acted as the rear army, had no time to adjust the formation.
Therefore, when the 4,000 Qi army rushed in front of the 3,000 rear army, the Chu army, which had just adjusted half of the formation, was almost completely dispersed in a face-to-face formation.
"Protect Your Highness! Protect Your Highness! ”
Taking advantage of the time when the Qi army was attacking the 3,000 rear army, Chen Zhaoming quickly began to adjust the formation of the Changxiu army.
Fortunately, compared to the three thousand Chu troops, Chang Xiujun had done special training in this area in two months.
Therefore, before the Qi army broke through the three thousand Chu soldiers, the Changxiu army had basically adjusted the formation.
"Protect Your Highness, retreat while fighting!"
On the battlefield, there has always been advance and no retreat. Because, once retreated, it is very easy to affect the morale and morale of the army.
However, Chang Xiujun served as Xia Huan's personal soldier. Not only after more than two months of devilish training, but also has a high level of loyalty.
In other words, even if Changxiujun fought to the last man, he would not betray Xia Huan and fled alone.
"The commander of the Chu army is running away! Stop them! Stop them! ”
Captain Qi looked at the slowly moving Da Xu, and after hacking a Chu pawn to death, he immediately shouted.
This time, their purpose was Xia Huan. If Xia Huan is allowed to escape, then everything he did before will be meaningless.
The Qi army, which had received the military order, began to attack the rear army of the Chu army on the verge of collapse without regard for their lives.
With less than a cup of tea, it broke through the barrier of the three thousand Chu troops.
However, there is also a price.
Although most of the Qi army broke out of the 3,000 rear army, there were also more than 1,000 people who were either killed in battle or left in the Chu army's military formation.
Those who died in battle will not be talked about for the time being, and those who are trapped in the military formation, if they do not have external help, will die sooner or later.
But at this time every second counts. Human life is no longer as valuable as time.
"Kill!"
Three thousand Qi troops, roaring, rushed towards the Changxiu army.
If it had been three months ago, I am afraid that before the arrival of these 3,000 Qi troops, the Changxiu army, which was nothing more than a rabble, would have collapsed without a fight.
Now, however, in two months of inhuman training, their will has been greatly tempered.
Not to mention people, even if the rushing ones are arrows, I'm afraid they won't take a step back.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Throw a spear!"
A series of hurried orders came out of Chen Zhaoming's mouth.
The archers and spear-throwers, who had already been skilled, immediately fired a volley in a neat manner.
However, they were only a few hundred people, and in the face of three thousand Qi troops, it was really a little insignificant. Even, he couldn't even stop the footsteps of the Qi army.
"Shield!"
Just after a volley of the archers and spear-throwers, they quickly retreated to the rear. A large black iron shield was revealed.
"Twenty steps!"
"Ten steps!"
"Thorn!"
The silver swaying Changge, echoing with the pitch-black shield, harvested nearly a hundred Qi soldiers in just an instant.
"Kill!"
However, the lives of just a hundred people still couldn't stop the offensive of the Qi army.
The frenzied Qi Trap Warrior slammed into the iron shield fiercely, and the heavy iron shield only shook a little, and then returned to normal.
"Thorn!"
One by one, through the gap between the iron shields, they saw those traps who did not wear armor, as long as they approached, there would be corresponding Changge, and they would take their lives.
However, among the long-sleeved army, the shield hand is only 300 people, and in the face of the 3,000-strong Qi army, these 300 people can only resist a part.
Soon, the 2,000 Changxiu army was surrounded by 3,000 Qi troops and three-quarters of them.
