Chapter 193: Ji Xin's Struggle
Regardless of whether Ji Xin regrets it now and whether he can survive afterwards, Ling Rushan also left him with no way out.
It is rare that the three armies can reach an agreement, even if it is Pei Jun who suffers, that way of life is not walked alone, and it cannot be fought for because the white-eyed wolf is saved.
Thinking about Liu Bang's entrustment and the 5,000 Pei army under his command, Ji Xin has to hold on for them......
Two days passed in a flash, and the sentinels of the King of Qi still failed to bring back any news, and Yingbu was impatient to send people to ask for help, but after those who were accustomed to the mountains and forests also did not return, the three of them became more and more hopeless about this.
However, there is also some good news, that is, yesterday, the Qin army suddenly moved frequently for some reason, and it seemed that something had changed.
Tian Dan's opinion on this is that the general sensed that something was wrong with Jiyang's side and took the initiative to send troops to relieve the siege.
Ji Xin's thoughts were not spoken, he felt that it was very likely that the battle on Waihuang's side was smoother than his own, so he let the Qin army make a move.
The reason is very simple, according to the current situation, the land of Jiyang is a big pit, a trap specially attracted to the rebels, so will Waihuang have the same difficulties and obstacles? Probably not, because the terrain is different, there is no vast tidal flat in Waihuang, which makes it difficult to pull out, and the Qin army has no more energy to look at the two places.
The reason why he didn't say it was because Ji Xin felt that Yingbu wouldn't believe it, that guy had eyebrows and nose not nose with Tian Dan before, but now after listening to the opinion of this King of Qi, Yingbu actually didn't hesitate to send troops to break through and seek a solution without seeing any reinforcements, I really don't know what to do.
After being besieged for a long time, I couldn't get out of trouble after thinking of many ways, and everyone was a little anxious, and the anxious people would not believe that Waihuang would be better off attacking the fortified city, and it was useless to say it.
In this way, two more days passed, and finally the agreed siege day, when the three armies converged again, Ji Xin suddenly found that the morale of the Qi army and the Fan army was particularly high, and he didn't know how Tian Dan and Yingbu agitated.
This is a good thing, at least the chance of defeating Jiyang is greater, seeing the expressions on the faces of the two as if they had taken a big advantage, Ji Xin vaguely felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it before.
"General Ji, take care of yourself all the way, if we take Jiyang in advance, we will definitely light a beacon fire, and you can withdraw the army as soon as possible after you see it, and it will be better to retreat into the city with fewer casualties."
"Okay, thank you General Ying for reminding me, Ji is gone!"
After parting ways, being within 5,000 steps is more reassuring than 30,000 troops, Ji Xin can't tell how this feeling came from, he only knows that the road ahead is probably going to be very difficult, and he doesn't know how many people around him can survive.
How many Qin troops are besieging the three rebel armies, they are still a little ignorant, the Qin people claim that there are 200,000 and no one believes it, but from the estimation of several battles, the other side will not be less than 80,000 at least.
In terms of numbers, it seems that the mantis arm is blocking the car, as Tian Dan said, the three rebel armies do not occupy the slightest advantage of time and place, how can this battle be fought? !
The defeat is decided, the only difference is the difference between more and less, and how many people can escape......
Ji Xin was frowning and thinking, and the Qin people, who noticed that the rebel army had moved, sent troops with it, but the tidal flats here made people unable to quickly organize their troops to prepare for battle and not get out of the predicament, but on the other hand, the Qin army was also not conducive to forming a formation and was inconvenient to pursue.
This is also the reason why Ji Xin dared to lead the army to block the enemy, because the purpose of the Qin people from the beginning was to trap them and let them quickly consume grain and grass in this barren land!
After a horn, the Qin army gradually approached, and it didn't seem to be fast, but tens of thousands of people were still completely spread out on the field, and the momentum was very oppressive.
Looking to the left, it was full of Qin troops, and to the right, it was still full of Qinzi flags, and as it got closer and closer, the black torrent would only appear wider and wider, as if it was going to drown everything.
If it is as in the past, after the Qin army presses up, it will only let the three rebel armies transfer troops to fight for a moment at the same time, and then they will die down, and they should go back to count the grains of grain and continue to count, and they should wait for the traitors to starve and die and take the initiative to surrender to continue to wait, but today, the posture of the two armies is a little different......
The Qin army seemed to be a little impatient, they didn't seem to intend to end this war by besieging it again, from the very beginning, a dense layer of feather arrows was planted on the ground, as if the wasteland had turned into a wheat field in an instant, and it was daunting.
In the same way, the rebel army also adjusted its strategy today, those who should have come to meet the enemy did not come, and those who should have retreated did not retreat, even if many of them turned into red flowers falling to the ground at the beginning, but there was no sign of defeat.
The rain of arrows came one after another, and the Pei people who were hugging the group became more close, seeing such a posture, Ji Xin, who had sworn that he would hold the Qin army for two hours, suddenly felt a little bottomless.
In fact, if the tactics of the Qin army are still the same as in the past, the two-hour covenant has left a lot of leeway, not to mention the advantages of Ji Xin, this advantage has changed the normal when it meets the Qin army, and it really seems to be much more useful.
Pei Jun does not have many means, the only useful thing is to carry it to death, Ji Xin has no crown on his head and no armor on his body, he holds up a shield and stabilizes the military formation in front of him, with a scream one after another, he doesn't even have a chance to look at those people for the last time, only focuses on the current crisis.
The tighter they pressed, the more united they became, and it seemed to be a little unexpected by the Qin people, after a few breaths, a long-faced Qin general turned around and asked the deputy general beside him: "How many arrows did you bring this time?!" ”
"General Hui Su, 100 arrows per person."
"Good! Shoot him 100,000 arrows first! ”
"But General, General Zhang's latest military order is for us to quickly pacify the rebels here, you ...... like this"
The chief general of this Qin army is named Su Tuo, a typical northwest man, he speaks with a very loud voice like chopping down with an axe, but the only difference is that this person is not lacking in meticulousness.
"Look at the rebel army in front of you, there is a bit of perseverance from the beginning to the end, is it very different from before?!"
"There are some, but ......"
"No, but, this shows that the other two groups of traitors must capture Jiyang today, and there is already General Zhang's arrangement in Jiyang City, since they have already taken the bait, why should I fight with them in one more move?!
Hold them with bows and arrows, and wait for General Zhang's arrangement to work, needless to say! ”
"I see...... And the general, why didn't they attack the city before?! ”
Su Chan rolled his eyes: "I was stupid before, how can I have the courage and opportunity to attack the city step by step?!" If it weren't for the heart of this gang of traitors fighting to the death today, I wouldn't have figured it out! ”
Some people are born with certain talents, or the realm of life and death will force people out of certain talents, and not long after Qin Jun's move of only releasing arrows and not engaging in battle, Ji Xin felt that something was wrong with this matter.
He didn't know what the situation had changed in the outside world, and he couldn't figure out why the two armies frequently changed their strategies, but he knew that there was a reason for all this, and what he couldn't figure out could be tried out, and what the price was...... Human life is just a matter of life, and people who die for a lifetime don't care.
After making up his mind, Ji Xin led a team to rush towards the Qin army, and a small gap appeared in the originally tight formation, and countless people fell down immediately.
With the work of three arrows, these people were forced to retreat again, there were more people when they went, and when they came back, there were fewer people, and even Ji Xin himself was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
He gasped for breath, gritted his teeth and pulled out the cluster of arrows on his shoulder, and was agitated by the pain, and his heart suddenly became as smooth as if a blocked wound had been removed.
"The Qin people don't want to fight, they want to shoot us... There will be a chance, there will be a chance...... Two hours, let me think, let me think......"
The Qin army who will not give up if he does not kill the other party is different from the Qin army who is like a cat and mouse, the former is impenetrable and does not die, and the latter should theoretically have loopholes to drill.
Ji Xin couldn't think of so much, but he could feel the opportunity through instinct, and then thinking about the ugliness of the two groups of people behind him, he suddenly wanted to seize this opportunity.
Even if this is the Qin people's strategy, it is better than going back and waiting for reinforcements with those two people, no matter how bad it is, thousands of people will always be able to escape, Pei Gong knows that Ji has done his best......
