Chapter 127: Battle! (ENDS)
Chen Cheng's eyes widened at the gate tower of Chen County, he would never have thought that the Qin army, which had always been known for fighting tough battles, would actually make such a helpless move.
Outside the city, Cai Ci was also stunned by the tactics of the Qin army, is this still the Qin army?
From a distance, the Qin army on the left and right flanks is like two elastic ropes, no matter how hard you use, he still won't break, but once you don't use force, he will bounce back violently and whip you hard.
The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy is tired and I fight, this trick originated from the tactics of later great men and came out thousands of years in advance.
With the gradual passage of time, the Zhang Chu army on the left and right flanks is gradually decreasing, the formation is chaotic, and due to the loss of physical strength, the combat power is also declining, on the other hand, the Qin army is also sweating, but they are still full of fighting spirit, as if they have inexhaustible strength.
This is another major advantage of Qin Jun, his physical strength is more than three times that of Zhang Chujun, which is due to Zhao Jun's emphasis on physical strength, which has deliberately strengthened training in this area in recent years, and the food is also excellent, and the physical strength is naturally cultivated.
The second is that the age of the Linzi Qin Army is in the prime of life, unlike Zhang Chujun, who is made up of a group of peasants, who accept everything, both young and old, and the quality is uneven.
"Can't wait."
Cai Ci secretly said that although he was afraid of the bows and arrows of the Qin army, if he waited until the two wings were defeated, then the war would be lost.
Then, Cai Ci suddenly pulled out his handsome sword, pressed it forward, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
"Kill!"
When Zhang Chujun got the order, he immediately shouted, and the front row sergeants raised their shields to attack, and the back row of soldiers followed and ran forward.
Cai Ci's thousands of soldiers around him also escorted the chariot forward, and it didn't stop until it advanced dozens of zhang, although with Cai Ci's age, it was impossible to rush to the front line, but he always had to make an appearance, motivate morale, and on the one hand, he also watched the battlefield more clearly
"A rabble!" Zhao Jun on the handsome chair on the hillside smiled disdainfully, from the moment Cai Ci couldn't hold his breath and ordered the whole army to attack, he had already fallen into the disadvantage.
At this time, Zhou Chang suddenly hit his horse and ran, dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "Master Hou, General Lu and General Ying have completed their tasks, and they are currently coming to support, and they will be there in a while." ”
"Okay." Zhao Jun smiled at the corner of his mouth, and finally said: "Order, Cao Wushu and Guan Ying will attack in an all-round way, be sure to defeat the main force of the enemy, and beat the drum to cheer." ”
After that, Zhao Jun whispered another order to Zhou Chang, and Zhou Chang ordered him to leave
The Ling Banner shook again, and the fierce drums sounded one after another like raindrops, as if they were about to pierce through the golden cracked stones, which shook the sky, making the blood of the Qin army under the hillside boil, their eyes straightened, and their fighting spirit boiled.
At the foot of the hill, Guan Ying and Cao Wuxian listened to the thunderous drums, and suddenly knew that the time for the general attack had arrived.
"Kill!" With a roar, he waved his gun and commanded the remaining 16,000 soldiers, separated the two sides, bypassed the bow and crossbow camp, and met the rushing Zhang Chu army.
And Cao Wuxian waved his hand again, and the bow and crossbow battalion that had been prepared for a long time suddenly raised its head to the sky and threw it, and a large rain of arrows filled the sky, roaring out again, shooting towards the infinite Zhang Chu army in the field in front.
"Ahh
The archers of the Qin army threw fire, even if there was a shield defense, it was inevitable that there would be unlucky ghosts who died under the arrows.
By the time Zhang Chujun rushed into Thirty Zhang, the rain of arrows of the Qin army could completely cover Zhang Chujun, and Zhang Chujun, who had no shield defense behind him, let out screams one after another, blood stained the ground red, and the soldiers were like wheat, and they were harvested in pieces and fell to the ground.
By the time they rushed in, more than 3,000 men had fallen and the formation was scattered.
Then, they faced 16,000 Qin hoplites.
"Bang!" Before he could get up, a Qin soldier on the side instantly pierced the chest with a spear, and when he pulled it back, it splashed with blood three feet high.
"Death to me!"
The baby's face was fierce, and he stabbed at Zhang Chujun's shield hand on the opposite side with a tiger head gun.
'Poof! ’
The shield was first pierced with a large hole, and the soldiers behind were also stabbed to death with a single shot, and the infant was forced, and a spearman who had no time to dodge was also pierced in the back.
After killing three people in a row, Guan Ying did not hesitate, clenched the tiger head gun with both hands and threw it to the left, and immediately smashed down several enemy soldiers on the side with two corpses, and screamed one after another.
"Brothers, rest enough, draw your long sword and let people see, my crossbowmen don't just shoot arrows!"
Cao Wuxian roared, ordered the whole battalion to throw away the bow and crossbow, pulled out the long sword, and from the side, it went straight to the waist of Zhang Chujun's main force, tearing apart the opponent's formation in an instant, and Zhang Chujun was caught off guard.
Under the fierce offensive of the Qin army, Zhang Chu's army kept losing and retreating, and as time went by, the casualties continued to increase, as if there was already a rout.
And at this moment, suddenly on the horizon north of the battlefield, a black line appeared again, and a black Qin-character flag fluttered in the wind.
"Kill it!" Lu Ze rode on a horse, pointed his spear forward, and his eyes were blazing with war.
Yingbu's face was calm, and the corners of his mouth were cold smiles, this was a good opportunity to kill.
The two thousand dead men and four thousand foot soldiers who were rushing behind were all very excited, they seemed to have fought a battle, and there was blood on their armor.
In the end, Yingbu and Lu Ze divided their troops into two ways, and each led their troops into the battlefield on the left and right flanks, and the soldiers on both wings of Zhang Chu's army, who were already exhausted, began to retreat completely.
"Yingbu, you're here, help me take revenge and kill that ring-eyed thief, he said Liu Bang's subordinate Fan Xu." When Hu Hai saw Yingbu coming to support, he immediately shouted.
Yingbu instantly stared at Fan Xu, who was directing the soldiers to retreat, his eyes were as ferocious as a wolf, and he led the troops to kill without saying a word, and the target was directly at Fan Xu.
Fan Xu originally wanted to fight with Yingbu, but seeing that the soldiers around him had begun to retreat, he didn't want to be beaten to death by the group, so he suddenly shouted: "Hmph, I'll take your head in the future." ”
After that, he ran away with 3,000 of his subordinates, and the rest of Zhang Chu's army became cannon fodder.
Yingbu laughed coldly and said, "Fan Xu, I remember you coming, but you better hurry up and go back to see if your eldest brother's head is still there." ”
"What?" Fan Hao was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he turned his head and ran harder, and he didn't go back to the city, and ran directly to the camp in the east of the city
'Dangdang'
On the tower of the city gate of Chen County, Chen Sheng ordered Mingjin to retreat with hatred, and for a while, Zhang Chu's army in the entire battlefield began to rout.
At this time, Cai Ci was in tears, after this defeat, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians in the city will not be able to fight with the Qin army, and Chen Sheng's prestige will also be greatly reduced.
Enduring the pain in his lower back, Cai Ci began to wave the order flag and command the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner.
However, at this moment, suddenly a group of Qin army scouts rushed over from the east, all on horseback, and rushed into Cai Ci's personal army in an instant.
These scouts are all from the horse gang, even if there is no stirrup, in a short period of time, it is no problem to fight on horses, so Cai Ci's personal soldiers were scattered, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness, and the strength of the horse gang when fighting in small groups of soldiers and horses, and these personal soldiers were only relatively strong soldiers in Zhang Chu's army.
"Master Hou has an order, kill Cai Ci, the bounty is five hundred, and the merit is added to the three lords." Zhou Chang yelled while killing the enemy on his horse, invincible.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the Qin army, which is already like a wolf and a tiger, is even more fatal when it kills people, and each of them can defeat ten with one.
Cai Ci was shocked when he saw it in the carriage, the Qin army scouts were so brave, and by the time he wanted to escape, it was too late, and the coachman had already been stabbed to death by Zhou Chang.
"The old man thinks he is a hero, but he didn't expect it to be worth five hundred gold." In despair, Cai Ci screamed sadly, and then wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, and there was a decent way to die.
However, a Qin army scout Shi Chang was quick to shoot, and threw his sword out violently, drawing a bolt of lightning that whistled sharply and shot towards Cai Ci.
'Poof', blood flowers appeared in Cai Ci's chest, the long sword pierced through his chest and back, Cai Ci's pupils contracted suddenly, the hand holding the sword paused violently in mid-air, and finally the sword slipped from his hand, his contracted pupils gradually dilated, crooked, and finally the whole body fell down on his back.
The lucky Shi Chang suddenly grinned happily, quickly stepped forward and pulled out his long sword, cut off Cai Ci's head and hung it on his waist, and even took off the jade pendant on his waist.
"Cai Zhuguo is dead!"
As soon as Cai Ci died, the fleeing Zhang Chujun was suddenly disheartened, and without Cai Ci's command, they completely evolved from defeat to collapse.
I saw that on the grassland outside the city, countless Zhang Chubing were fleeing aimlessly, like a group of panicked lambs, and the Qin army was a group of hungry wolves, howling in general, while chasing and killing Zhang Chujun all over the mountains.
Only a few clever Zhang Chubing, under the cover of the crossbowmen on the city wall, fled back into the city. (To be continued.) )
