Chapter 30: Death
Li Zuoche's left and right armies can be said to be just right, if they are a few dozen breaths late, and wait for the Jiuyuan infantry to annihilate all the Zhao cavalry, then even if they are surrounded by the left and right armies, it will be meaningless.
Because if in a moment of the evening, Liu Xin's 10,000 original elite cavalry will go straight to Li Zuoche, this 10,000 original cavalry is ready to die, as long as Li Zuoche is in hand or is killed on the spot, then everything is worth it.
The reason why Meng Tian knew that Li Zuoche's army was almost twice as large as his own, and still dared to counterattack Li Zuoche's Chinese army despite the division of troops, was precisely to achieve this goal.
The 300,000 Nine Plains Army has never been afraid of death, and Meng Tian, the founder of this army, certainly won't.
The two armies on the left and right of Li Zuoche, who caught up in time, were a real emergency for Li Zuoche, and a nightmare for Meng Tian and the Jiuyuan infantry who had already suffered tens of thousands of casualties.
Of course, the nightmare must be too high to look at Li Zuoche's foot soldiers, and also underestimate the Jiuyuan Army.
But the 100,000 Zhao army foot soldiers who came up from the siege were really a nightmare for Meng Tian. Seeing that the loss of so many Jiuyuan elite soldiers was about to be completed, but at the last moment, Meng Tian only felt bitter.
Now there are only more than 20,000 Jiuyuan foot soldiers left, and in the face of the siege of 100,000 foot soldiers on the left and right of Li Zuoche, who are five times his own size, Meng Tian knows that he can still successfully kill him if he breaks through the siege now.
However, in the face of Li Zuoche's army, which still had nearly 500 light and heavy chariots and more than 100,000 foot soldiers, Meng Tian thought that even if he broke through, not many of the more than 30,000 foot soldiers who followed him north would be able to follow him and leave safely.
It is even likely that in order to cover his own breakthrough, Liu Xin's more than 10,000 cavalry will all be buried here.
Then, the battle of going north will cause the Jiuyuan Army to suffer the worst defeat since it became an army when the First Emperor was formed. More importantly, Huhai's plan to stabilize Shandong will also fall through.
Meng Tian suddenly felt a sense of remorse in his heart, if he avoided his edge first and then tried to fight a decisive battle, then he was confident that even if he couldn't defeat Li Zuoche's nearly 200,000 army, he would at least come to this embarrassing situation.
There are still 40,000 troops in the rear!
It's still not the end, and it's still undecided who will win and who will lose!
So, let's fight!
A black brocade swallowtail-shaped banner that was a little bigger than Meng Tian's Zhongjun Tooth Banner appeared next to Meng Tian's Zhongjun Tooth Flag, and a huge small seal on it was shining brightly.
Two big flags fluttered above the Qin army's infantry phalanx at the same time, pointing far away, where Li Zuoche's army was!
The word "Qin" is a symbol of the glory of the Great Qin!
Dayan and the tooth flag belong to the same Chinese army formation flag, but the meaning of the big name with the word "Qin" and the tooth flag with the word "Mongolia" are fundamentally different.
Tooth flag, all the leading commanders will have a tooth flag, which is Meng Tian's Chinese army marshal flag, where the tooth flag is, it represents where Meng Tian is in the army, and if the tooth flag falls, it means that the main general Meng Tian died; The Great Bird, especially the black Great Night, only represents the Great Qin Imperial Family. This is the glory that the First Emperor gave to the Jiuyuan Army.
In addition to the emperor's personal expedition, there are more than one million soldiers in the entire Great Qin, and only the Jiuyuan Army led by the great general Meng Tian has this black brocade "Qin" word swallowtail Dayang.
This black pole only appeared once in a battle between Meng Tian and 500,000 Hun cavalry more than ten years ago, and that time, the 300,000 Qin army defeated 500,000 Hun cavalry in a battle.
The black brocade "Qin" character swallowtail is a big tail, in the Jiuyuan Army, as long as he appears, then he represents a meaning.
Battle to the Death!
This is the glory that the First Emperor gave to the Jiuyuan Army, so if you die, you will also die on the way to fight for Daqin!
Meng Tian didn't know that he still had an army of 40,000 in the rear, and he would definitely come soon. Not only did he know this question, but the 30,000 foot soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army were also clear in his heart.
But at this moment, more than 100,000 troops are besieging and killing the Jiuyuan Army, which is less than 20,000 people left, if the morale of all the Jiuyuan Army foot soldiers is not completely aroused, then Meng Tian is sure that his army will never be able to hold out until the arrival of the 40,000 army in the rear.
Rise from the ashes!
Seeing Da Yang appear, the Jiuyuan infantry who was originally fighting with the countless Zhao army foot soldiers around him was less than 20,000 foot soldiers, first he was slightly stunned, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly turned red.
The 20,000 Jiuyuan infantry who were still alive suddenly burst out with an earth-shattering murderous aura and soared straight into the sky.
The murderous aura that gathered suddenly made the two flags tremble!
Originally, most of the Jiuyuan infantry soldiers were in a defensive state, but at this time, they had completely given up any defense, and they had only one goal.
What the Great Am is referring to!
No one can stop the Jiuyuan Army under Meng Tian's "Qin" character, this is a sentence that Li Zuoche has not forgotten in his heart for decades after this battle.
With the thousands of Nine Yuan Foot Soldiers standing out in front as the core, the originally strict foot pawn phalanx suddenly changed into a triangular arrow charging formation. The arrow points to the location of Li Zuoche's Chinese army.
Suddenly, the murderous aura burst out, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the explosion suddenly stabbed into the solidified cream like a red-hot sharp knife, deeply penetrating into the countless Zhao Jun foot soldiers who blocked the way ahead.
As the arrow broke in, the Qin army infantry in the rear followed closely, only to kill the Zhao army infantry in front of the surprise on their backs, and did not dare to plunder its edge.
In a short moment, the Qin army suddenly took more than fifty steps, leaving a stump and broken arm, there were Qin army's foot soldiers, but more of them were Zhao Jun's.
The triangular formation of the Qin army, which had advanced more than fifty steps, was like a wedge, and it was deeply nailed into the encirclement formed by the Zhao army.
But after all, the Zhao army was five times larger than the Qin army, and soon the heavy Zhao army's foot soldiers rushed up again, and began a sword and sword and blood fight with the Qin army. The speed of the Qin army's formation gradually slowed down, but it was still struggling to advance.
With every step forward, the Qin army had to fall dozens of people, but then there were infantry soldiers who followed the dead Qin army to go up, continue to maintain a strict formation, and still advance in the direction where Li Zuoche's army was.
A group of Zhao army foot soldiers rushed up, and soon retreated like a tide, followed by a new batch of foot soldiers who came up again, and then were killed by the Qin army and retreated, only to kill Zhao Jun in fear.
As the Qin army's infantry phalanx advanced, a wide avenue completely red with blood appeared behind the Qin army's phalanx. On both sides of the avenue, there were piles of corpses like embankments, including those of Jiuyuan and those of Zhao Jun.
When Meng Tian and the 30,000 infantry of the Jiuyuan Army were surrounded by Li Zuoche's left and right armies, Liu Xin didn't worry too much, because he believed that with the combat strength of the Jiuyuan Army, he could hold out no matter what, until the 40,000 troops of the former army Zhang Wu and Qian Liang arrived, and he was still looking for an opportunity.
But when Meng Tian's black brocade "Qin" character appeared, Liu Xin could no longer remain calm, and more than 10,000 Jiuyuan Jingqi, who had been wandering outside, also suddenly twitched when they saw this Da Min.
The battle to the death will only be like this at the critical moment of the life and death of the Jiuyuan Army, once the flag is raised, then even if the last person fights, he must die on the way to kill the place pointed by Da Min!
"Quickly go to the rear to inform the two generals, Zhang Wu and Qian Liang, and the general showed the black brocade "Qin" word swallowtail. After Liu Xin finished speaking, he no longer cared about the guards who bowed down to answer the order, pulled out the long sword in his waist, and turned around and silently swept over the more than 10,000 Jiuyuan Jingqi behind him.
Then he turned around, "drove" Liu Xin's legs and clamped the belly of the war horse under him, and took the lead in riding straight to Li Zuoche's army.
The sound of hooves is thundering!
More than 10,000 Jiuyuan elite horsemen in armor suddenly followed Liu Xin like arrows from the string, and rushed towards Li Zuoche's central army.
Li Zuoche had been observing the Meng Tian army that was heavily surrounded, but he had never forgotten the more than 10,000 Jiuyuan elite horses cruising outside. At this moment, these Nine Primordial Essence Riders finally moved, although they came straight to him, but his heart suddenly became steady.
Knowing the goal of the Nine Plains Elite Rider has a way to deal with it, and if the Nine Plains Elite Rider has been cruising outside, then there are too many unknowns. With the speed of the cavalry, they can't catch up, so they can only passively guard everywhere.
And the cruising Jiuyuan cavalry cavalry can attack any place at any time as long as the leading general is willing.
The 20,000 archers who had been staring at the Jiuyuan cavalry on Meng Tian's right flank, saw the 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry heading straight for Li Zuoche, and hurriedly spread their feet to go to the guard, their main task was to deal with the Jiuyuan cavalry.
More than 10,000 cavalry were still one hundred and fifty paces away from Li Zuoche's central army, and suddenly divided into two groups, one in front and one behind.
"Hum" A wave of crossbow arrows flew out from the five thousand cavalry in front, and a series of screams made the archers who were lying in front of Li Zuoche's army on the cavalry road suddenly fall down, and the five thousand archers who had fired the crossbow arrows suddenly turned their horses' heads and turned from the side, just avoiding the first wave of feather arrows of Li Zuoche's archers.
Only some of the cavalry facing Li Zuoche's archers and the slower hundreds of Jiuyuan cavalry who turned last were shot and fell from their horses.
At this time, the five thousand cavalry following the rear had not yet entered the pitiful 100-step range of Li Zuoche's archers. The crossbow arrows in the hands of the five thousand cavalrymen, who were unscathed, were fired at this time, and the archers in the center fell again.
At this time, more than 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry had completely formed two groups, one up and one down, and rushed straight to this Qin army's archers who were in a hurry and didn't know where to shoot. The more than 10,000 archers who were still standing were sparsely pulling a few waves of feather arrows, and only a few hundred Jiuyuan cavalry were shot off their horses.
A distance of 100 steps, in the blink of an eye! In an instant, the two Nine Primordial Elite Riders crashed into the head and tail of the remaining more than 10,000 archers.
The war horse pounced, the figure flew sideways, and the sword light flickered. The powerful impact of the Nine Plains Elite Cavalry instantly cut through the weak defense composed of more than 10,000 archers that were originally lying in the center, leaving a bloody and fleshy stump of broken arms.
Piercing through the first line of defense composed of more than 10,000 archers, less than 9,000 people remained.
Now in front of the remaining 8,000 elite cavalry is a chariot formation composed of more than 500 chariots, as long as this chariot formation is broken through again, then Li Zuoche, who only has more than 1,000 personal guards, will be unable to escape.
Like a hurricane, the eight thousand elite riders roared incessantly against the rushing crowd of vehicles and slammed into it.
