Chapter 240: The Battle of Xia Wei [3]

In fact, the reason why no defense was built, to put it bluntly, was that Ye Gong made a fuss himself, wanting the horses to run and not letting the horses eat grass. Officers can go out in style, and soldiers have to work tirelessly to build wooden fences, reject horses, dig trenches, etc. Would the minions be willing? Of course, he didn't want to, so all the soldiers refused to obey Ye Gong's orders.

Although Ye Gong was annoyed, he was helpless. I only thought that after arriving at Zaiying, I recruited hundreds of battalions (female branches) to the barracks, so that I could appease the soldiers under my command. But at present, he can only pinch his nose and admit it, Ye Gong regrets indulging the generals a little, forgetting that Xia Wei City is just a small city, and it can't meet the needs of the 80,000 army at all. This makes all good things turn into bad things, but no matter how much Ye Gong regrets it, it's okay, this thing has happened now.

Ye Gong didn't have time to regret it at this moment, Yang Zilu had already led the army to break through the outer defense of the Chinese army and enter the Chinese army camp.

"Take a spear and a long brother to go up, no matter who the person who charges the formation, there will be no mercy" Ye Gong still has a bit of a heroic nature, and knows the consequences of being broken up by the rout. Immediately took his own soldiers and pressed the other soldiers of the Chinese army to line up.

The Chu army, which had fled frantically because of the massacre of the Han army, was unlucky, with a spear forest in front and a slaughtering knife in the back.

Ye Gong knew that killing these routs was just a helpless move, if he really killed all the routs, then the remaining soldiers would probably die of sorrow. Moreover, the soldiers are all related to each other, and many of them are dozens of people from a village who join the army, and if they die, it will be fine. If there are remnants, I am afraid that they will have a grudge against themselves, and it will be even more difficult for Ye Gong to command this army in the future.

So Ye Gong killed for a while, suppressed the rout, and immediately ordered ten soldiers with loud voices to shout: "Those who rush from both sides will not be killed."

When the defeated soldiers heard this, they didn't care about thinking about anything, but instinctively swarmed towards the two wings of the Chu army's battle array.

Yang Zilu was not to be outdone, and immediately commanded the cavalry to cover and kill from both wings, not wanting Ye Gong to be really ruthless. Ordered the archers to fire their arrows indiscriminately, knowing that it was night, and there was no moonlight in the night sky. This arrow is shot, even if it hits the Chu soldiers in front of the formation, it is possible. But Ye Gong succeeded, and his indiscriminate arrows immediately forced Yang Zilu to order a retreat.

Yang Zilu gritted his teeth and scolded: "I. . . Day. He. Immortals. Board. Ye Gong of the board, this old fox is really ruthless. How many people died in our army"

Hou Yuanzhi immediately went down to inquire, and came back not long after, his face was not very good, and he reported to Yang Zilu: "Lord, because the brothers were unprepared, more than 30 people were shot dead, and more than 60 people were injured. Almost a hundred dead and wounded"

Yang Zilu's army of 1,000 people rushed all the way over, and the loss was only more than 80 people, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss here in Ye Gong. Now there are probably about 800 people left in the whole army who can fight, Yang Zilu was immediately furious when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and greeted Ye Gong's eighteenth generation of female relatives.

Although Yang Zilu was angry, he did not lose his mind, gritted his teeth, and instructed Hou Yuanzhi: "Let the soldiers all retreat, hide in a dark corner, harass the Chu army with bows and arrows, and find some soldiers to use rockets."

"No" Hou Yuanzhi replied and retreated.

Seeing the Han army retreating rapidly like a tide, the Chu army was immediately shocked, not knowing what the Han barbarians had in mind.

"Marshal, what do you mean by Han barbarian?" A general asked Ye Gong nervously.

Ye Gong was also shocked, but he knew that now the enemy was dark and clear, and he couldn't attack at will. Especially now that there are not enough officers, and the arrangement of troops is not flexible enough. Not to mention that once they encounter an ambush, without the encouragement and sittingness of the officers, ordinary soldiers can easily collapse. Ye Gong thought for a while and sneered: "Don't care what conspiracy Yang Zilu thinks, we won't attack, wait here until daytime, and see what tricks Yang Zilu, a barbarian, can play."

"Marshal Wise" When the general heard this, he immediately seized the opportunity to give Ye Gong a compliment.

When Ye Gong heard this, even if he was in danger now, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. But soon Ye Gong was not complacent. I saw that in the many dark corners of the battlefield, more than a hundred arrows were suddenly shot, knocking the Chu soldiers holding torches to the ground, and the already dark battlefield was half dark. It is in stark contrast to the surrounding fire.

"Damn the archers, won't you all fight back?" Ye Gong immediately cursed loudly.

The archers immediately hurriedly bent their bows and fired arrows into the dark corners of the front. But it didn't do much use, and there wasn't a scream. I don't know if the Han army is gone, or if it doesn't shoot the enemy. Anyway, in the hearts of the soldiers of the Chu army, the darkness and silence made people's hearts palpitate, and let fear be born in people's hearts.

The nerves of all the Chu soldiers tensed all of a sudden, and they all nervously scanned left and right, those tents, military vehicles, and all the dark places that were not ignited by the flames. lest he be careless, and suddenly shoot a deadly arrow out of the darkness.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves. Therefore, the archers immediately shot arrows in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves, but because of the fire behind the cavalry, at this moment, the figures of the cavalry were blurred, and they were easy to be caught by the fire behind them. Therefore, although there are hundreds of arrows, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small. Only two or three cavalrymen were hit by arrows, and after being shot, the cavalry immediately turned around and retreated.

The archers immediately cheered excitedly, but their cheers had not yet quieted down, and they saw more than twenty rockets ejected, and the rockets quickly landed in the tents of the soldiers. It stands to reason that these tents should have been dismantled, but because the time was urgent, Ye Gong just sent soldiers to cut through the tents directly with swords, and the soldiers were deployed on the spot.

But at the moment, it was unlucky, the tents were made of oil-soaked tarpaulin in order to be waterproof. The rocket landed on the tent, and immediately with a "poof", a cloud of fire rose up. The flames spread like a plague. The soldiers of the Chu army were immediately in chaos, and everyone wanted to scatter and flee, but they escaped in time

Although Ye Gong used infantry against cavalry for the first time, he also fought against military vehicles. Knowing that infantry against cavalry is similar to fighting against military vehicles, it is necessary to rely on dense formations to counteract the impact. So this time, the troops were lined up densely, with shoulders against shoulders and toes touching heels.

Many of the soldiers were gone, and they were contaminated by the flames, and they immediately burned and screamed, and the smell of barbecued meat spread in the air. The armor and skin of the soldiers who were burned by the fire stuck to their bodies together, and the pain was indescribable. It is estimated that during this period of time, the soldiers of the Chu army have little interest in meat.

But this is not the worst, the worst thing is the soldiers who were knocked to the ground in the escape, they had not time to stand up, they were already trampled to the ground by the soldiers behind them, and finally trampled to death. The scattering spread not only on the lit tents, but also in some Chu troops far away from the burning tents.

"Don't retreat, kill the latter, and stand up for Ben Shuai" Seeing this, Ye Gong immediately secretly screamed that it was not good. led his own soldiers, slashed and stabbed, and killed hundreds of people, which barely stabilized the formation of the Chu army.

"Ye Gong, this guy is quite skilled, he can be so stable, but the widow looks at how long you Ye Gong can be stable" Yang Zilu was not anxious at all, Yang Zilu was terrifyingly calm at the moment.

On the contrary, Ye Gong, who suppressed the expulsion of soldiers, became anxious, and the emotions that the two of them should have changed instead.

The reason why Yang Zilu was calm was because he knew that in the Chu army, the nerves of ordinary soldiers were tensed. Although I can't see anything now, after a long time, this nerve line is too tense, and if it can't bear the pressure, it will naturally be disconnected, which means that the Chu army will collapse.

The Han army once again shot hidden arrows in the dark, and the arrows came and went, and there was no pattern to be found at all. But the most bizarre point is that at the same time as the Han army sneak attacked, the Chu army was also counterattacking, but from beginning to end, the Han army did not sound a single scream.

It's as if the arrows shot didn't hit anyone, if it was like this once, it was luck, twice it was so lucky, and what about three times? Is three times still luck? And it's the whole battlefield, what is the reason for this? In the face of the unknown, people instinctively attribute it to gods and ghosts.

In particular, the state of Chu is a country that respects ghosts and gods, and the atmosphere of the state of Chu can be seen from the fact that King Zhao of Chu and Duke Ye let Bu Yin divinate before the battle. As the saying goes, if there is something good at the top, it must be very bad, and the people in power of a country are like this, and the people below can be imagined.

After about two quarters of an hour, someone in the Chu army had already collapsed, and the man shouted with a whimper, "Mother, ghost, run."

Hearing this, Ye Gong's face immediately changed and shouted: "Those who retreat are killed"

But it didn't work, hearing the soldier's shouting just now, everyone's fear was vented in their hearts: "We can't beat them, they have demons possessed and run."

"Ahh

Faced with the unknown, all the soldiers of the Chu army collapsed. Ye Gong immediately led his own soldiers to supervise the battle, but at this moment, shouts of killing sounded in all directions, but it was the other four-way Han troops who killed, and the cavalry broke through the resistance from other directions and rushed to kill.

Ye Gong will no longer supervise the war, and if he supervises the war again, he will probably die here. The soldiers covered Ye Gong's rapid retreat towards the Yangtze River, and a large number of ships were moored on the side of the Yangtze River, all of which were used to prepare to cross the river.

Yang Zilu was overjoyed, and the Five Han Army gathered together and immediately covered up and left.

Ye Gong also fled, and the other Chu soldiers were immediately free of Ye Gong's control and immediately collapsed. The Han army, like shepherds, drove the Chu army towards the Yangtze River on horseback.

When they reached the rough river, the Chu soldiers reacted. But the people behind couldn't see it, and those who pushed the front immediately pounced. Some of the soldiers were smart and approached the boats moored on the shore, which Ye Gong had prepared to use to carry the soldiers across the river tomorrow.
