Chapter 321: Sweeping Thousands of Armies
Chen Xu couldn't sit still in the carriage, he got out of the carriage, walked to Su Qin's side, put his hand on the pergola and kept looking into the distance, his face was anxious, and he said in his heart: "Is it that our reconnaissance is wrong, so is Gongsun Yan coming or not coming?" ”
Chen Xu was particularly anxious, he turned his face to look at Su Qin, and found that Su Qin had always maintained a calm and calm expression, his eyes were almost motionless looking at the distance of the official road, as if he wanted to see through this road, and he didn't even let a bird fly over to escape his eyes.
Chen Xu felt that Su Qin was very talented, and admired in his heart that Su Qin could really hold on, but he actually didn't know that at this time, Su Qin's eagerness in his heart was only worse than him, and he would never be weaker than him.
If Gongsun Yan does not come to attack this time, everything that has been arranged in advance, including sending troops to send Zhang Yi into Anyi, walking rumors, and provoking Gongsun Yan to attack rashly, these efforts have been wasted, and the tactical intentions of the coalition forces will inevitably leak out, and it will be almost impossible to find such a favorable fighter in the future.
When the additional troops led by the Qin general Yu Liji arrived at the city of Anyi, with the soldiers and combat effectiveness of the alliance forces of Wei, Zhao and Qi, compared with the Qin army, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a chance of victory. This time, he seized Gongsun Yan's impatience and lured him to attack, first weakening the combat effectiveness of the most elite troops of the Qin army, and then comparing his power with the Qin State, so that he could be considered qualified.
Even if this battle can be won, it may not be able to sweep the Qin army in the future, and Su Qin also has a sober judgment on this point. He can use his bold words to boost morale, but how can the strength of the Qin army be underestimated and underestimated!
Su Qin really wanted to send reconnaissance cavalry to look forward along the official road at this time, but what if he disturbed Gongsun Yan? If Gongsun Yan thought about it carefully, he might have sniffed out the danger signal.
Therefore, Su Qin suppressed the anxiety in his heart and secretly wiped the sweat on his head, although it was spring and the weather had not completely warmed up, the sweat on his face flowed.
When Su Qin finally found that there were streams of loess dust and mist rising on the official road, the joy in his heart was indescribable, and he really wanted to hug and celebrate with Chen Xu, who was also eager beside him.
Gongsun Yan swaggered forward quickly along the official road, advancing his troops. On both sides of the official road are undulating low mounds, which is a typical terrain with high loess slopes.
Su Qin watched the distance of Gongsun Yan's troops, and his mood was still very nervous. He observed from place to place, and saw Gongsun Yan leading his army through the first ambush line preset by the 20,000 Qi and Wei troops led by Ning Jun, and his heart relaxed.
After about a quarter of an hour, Gongsun Yan's vanguard passed the second ambush line preset by another 10,000 coalition troops led by Yan Sui, and Su Qin nodded, feeling a little more relieved than before.
At this time, according to the original strategy, a cavalry detachment of the Zhao army led by Zhou Shao suddenly flashed in front of Gongsun Yan's vanguard from behind a mound on the left side of the official road.
As soon as Zhou Shao led his troops to make contact with the vanguard of the Qin army, and before they had fought with the Qin army for three rounds, they roared, and the generals retreated to the rear under the leadership of Zhou Shao.
This false trick was also planned by Su Qin again and again, and it was determined after the most recklessness. He was engaged in a psychological confrontation with Gongsun Yan, and he expected that Gongsun Yan was not convinced because of the empty fight a few days ago, and he would not give up this time.
Su Qin took a closer look at the official road on a high hill, and found that the vanguard of the Qin army stopped after being attacked and disturbed, and someone reported the emergency encountered in front to Gongsun Yan.
Gongsun Yan himself heard the sound of the snare drums similar to the night before, and he felt a pang of disgust in his heart, and his teeth itched with hatred. As soon as he paused and thought for a moment, he became emboldened, and ordered his troops to speed up, and when they encountered the opponent's attack again, they chased after them, and did not allow them to run away again.
Su Qin saw that at this time, the Qin army had indeed greatly increased the speed of the march. Su Qin was overjoyed, and Gongsun Yan was really fooled. At this time, Zhou Shao took advantage of the pause of the Qin army and turned around to beat the drum for the second time to attack and disturb him.
This second attack completely angered the Qin army, and with the order of the main general Gongsun Yan, they rushed to catch up, and also shouted the sound of impact, and chased forward one by one.
Su Qin hurriedly waved to the military drummer and the flag bearer who were hidden on the high post, and shouted in his mouth: "You listen to my order, I shout 'The wind rises', and your drums and flags immediately give instructions to attack, and the movements must be neat and unmistakable." ”
The drummers and standard-bearers shouted "No! Su Qin then carried enough true qi in the dantian and shouted loudly: "The wind rises." ”
This shout was full of confidence and penetrating power, as if Su Qin hoped that his voice could even be heard by Ning Jun and the others who were ambushed a few miles away.
However, Ning Jun and the others were far away, where could they hear Su Qin's shouts, they were waiting for the sound of the attack drum, and then compared with the banner of the Ling Banner soldiers, if the two were the same, they would immediately launch a quick attack.
As Su Qin shouted, he fell to the ground. The ten-sided drums on the high post suddenly sounded like thunder, and the drums beat were rapid and uniform, shaking the whole earth as if they were trembling.
The Qin army was obviously also attracted by the sound of the drums, and they all looked at the high post where Su Qin was located in astonishment.
However, the most lethal was not on the high post, but the coalition troops that were killed from both sides of the Qin army in three places. At this time, even Zhou Shao also killed a horse pistol, and he led the main force of Zhao State that surged out, covering the Qin army from the middle of the official road.
The Qin army led by Gongsun Yan was immediately cut into three sections, and the beginning and tail could not be taken into account. Gongsun Yan was in the vanguard of the Qin army, he commanded the Qin army to fight against the Zhao army, the two armies of 50,000 or 60,000 people were wrapped together like glue, the position was full of arrows, everyone fought separately, and the battle was difficult to solve.
Su Qin watched intently at the battle on the official road above the high post, and his mood was also in extreme tension, he saw the battle between the Zhao army and the Qin army, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while. Then, he turned his attention directly to the battle situation between the Qi and Wei coalition armies and the Qin army led by Ning Jun, which was the most important focus of Su Qin's attention, and it was also the winner or loser of the entire battle.
Su Qin especially concentrated the most elite troops of the coalition army in the hands of Ning Jun and ordered him to attack the rear of the Qin army, because once Zhou Shao lured the Qin army forward to pursue, the Qin army was bound to pull out of the line, and the rear of the team became the biggest weakness.
Attack the enemy's weak points, quickly surround and defeat the weak Qin army with strong forces, and then move forward along the official road, sweeping from the tail to the first section, so start from the weak links and break them one by one.
Although the Qin army had a slight advantage in numbers, because there were 30,000 Zhao troops in front of it, it was impossible to tell the winner for a while, so the Qi and Wei coalition forces cut off the tail of the Qin army, and then ate the middle of the Qin army, and all the troops were put into the siege of Gongsun Yan.
At that time, Gongsun Yan's original advantage was gone, and the combined forces of Zhao, Wei, and Qi made a joint effort, and Gongsun Yan was unable to return to the sky.
Therefore, Su Qin pinned his hopes on Ning Jun to cut off the tail of the Qin army at a very fast speed, steady, accurate, and ruthless, and a fatal blow. Sure enough, Ning Jun lived up to his mission, he first shot into the Qin army with feather arrows, and then quickly rushed into the Qin army with a silver spear in his hand.
The Qin army, on the other hand, suffered a surprise attack due to lack of adequate preparation, psychological panic, and the raining of feather arrows, coupled with the swiftness of the relatively superior forces led by Ning Jun. The more than 10,000 Qin troops at the end of the poor team were killed and wounded in just a quarter of an hour before they could draw their blades to resist.
Ning Jun saw that the Qin army at the end of the team had completely lost its combat effectiveness, and he did not pursue the Qin soldiers who fled back in embarrassment, so he turned his horse sharply and killed the area where Yan Sui was fighting with the middle troops of the Qin army.
At this time, Su Qin made a new gesture to the snare drummer and the flag soldier behind him, and the drum beat was a little denser than before, two short and one long. The coalition troops below the mountain heard the drums, and their shouts became more energetic and their fighting spirit was stronger.
Because this drum beat means that the battle at the end of the battle is over, and the coalition forces have won a small victory, the soldiers are of course happy when they hear it.
More than 10,000 Qi and Wei coalition troops led by Yan Sui rushed through the middle of the Qin army just now, blocking more than 10,000 Qin troops in the middle of the official road.
But when the more than 20,000 allied troops led by Ning Jun who had just won joined the war group. The battle in the middle of the game is decided.
More than 30,000 Qi and Wei allied troops against more than 10,000 panicked Qin troops, not to mention the superiority in numbers, the sergeants who had just joined the war group often had an absolute psychological advantage, while the Qin army immediately became frightened.
The two factors superimposed, so the Qin army only parried for less than a quarter of an hour before it collapsed. Dead dead, wounded wounded, left with sound legs and feet, desperately retreated backwards.
The Qi and Wei coalition forces did not pursue, and with the sound of three short and one long drums from Gaogang, they quickly swept forward and joined the ranks of the main force that surrounded and annihilated Gongsun Yan.
When Gongsun Yan had just engaged the Zhao army led by Zhou Shao, he didn't care in his heart, and he shouted loudly: "Raise the prestige of our army and level the enemy army!" "Encourage the soldiers of the Qin State to fight.
But when he found that the follow-up troops had not followed, he began to panic, and he ordered the guards around him to rush to the rear to see what was happening there.
By the time the guards rushed to the middle section, the battle in the final section was already over, and the battle in the middle section was nearing its end. The guard was so anxious that he hurriedly turned his horse's head and rushed back, reporting to Gongsun Yan: "General, the follow-up troops of our army have been surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. ”
