Chapter 125: The Battle of the Barracks!
Along the way, Meng Yi and Wei took 90,000 Great Qin Armor soldiers to the mountain quickly, at this time they did not light torches, although the sky was dark, but because the moon was still quite bright, they could still march.
When they collectively walked out of a mile or two, they looked back at the rear barracks and found that the front camp of the rear barracks was already on fire.
"Elder Wei, it seems that the front camp has been lost, so aren't they in danger for the king?" Meng Yi said worriedly while looking at the skyrocketing fire behind him.
"General Meng, don't get entangled, now our task is to lead these 90,000 armor soldiers to retreat safely, so that we can be worthy of the king, and I think the king should be able to retreat!" Wei Li persuaded Meng Yi.
"This ...... Well......"
"Order, the whole army will enter the mountain ...... at a speed"
・・・
Just when Meng Yi retreated with the army, there was a fierce battle going on in the front camp of the military camp!
I saw that outside the barracks, 10,000 shield soldiers of the Chu army were walking neatly, and in the middle of them, there were 5,000 bows and crossbows, which were coming towards the barracks where the Qin army was.
500 steps...... 400 steps...... Three hundred steps!
"Shoot!" Inside the barracks, Meng Qi immediately shouted when he saw that the enemy troops outside the army were beginning to approach within range of the crossbows.
In an instant, the 30,000 bows and crossbows were all unified movements, raising 45° strong crossbows and aiming at the enemy troops outside the barracks.
The next moment!
"Whoosh!" A burst of sharp arrows broke through the air.
Suddenly, fifteen thousand arrow feathers immediately rose into the air, and suddenly converged into a huge and terrifying arrow fortune, and even the moon that had just risen was blocked.
"Brush, brush!"
In an instant, a rain of fifteen thousand arrows immediately smashed down on the head of the approaching Chu army.
"Dingding......
"Puff puff ......"
Suddenly, there was the sound of sharp arrows hitting the shields above the heads of those Chu soldiers, and the sound of some being shot into the flesh sounded.
At this time, the five thousand crossbowmen of the Chu army also shot two thousand two hundred arrow feathers, and immediately shot towards the Qin army in the front camp of the military camp.
After the first wave was shot, the second wave began immediately after the two sides!
The Qin army was still the same fifteen thousand as before, and less than five seconds after the first shot, the second wave fell on the top of the Chu army's head.
Although the Chu army was protected by shields, the power of the strong crossbows still penetrated the shields in the hands of the Chu army's armor soldiers, and then pierced their heads hiding behind the shields at once!
And those crossbowmen of the Chu army who did not cover suffered heavy losses!
In the third wave, the 10,000 shield bearers at the front of the Chu army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, while the 5,000 crossbowmen lost nearly 1,000!
At this time, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in the Chinese army saw that the armor soldiers in front of them were nailed to the ground by the sharp arrows of the Qin army, and they were all angry, and Xiang Yu was almost about to rush into the camp and kill the Quartet.
"The crossbow of the Qin army is really powerful, back then, our Chu State was also defeated by the strong crossbow of the Qin army!" Xiang Liang's eyelids jumped, his eyes stared ahead, and he muttered in his mouth, his expression was heavy, as if he remembered the past again.
"Hmph, uncle, you don't need to be ambitious to destroy your own prestige, if we break into the camp, we won't kill these Qin dogs without leaving a single piece of armor!" Xiang Yu said with a disdainful face, he is generally self-righteous and thinks that he is a very good guy. However, after the battle between him and that Great Qin Gongzi just now, he knew in his heart that that person was no worse than himself, so now Xiang Yu was on fire, so he wanted to break into the Qin army as soon as possible and kill the Quartet!
"Yu'er, don't be reckless, although the Great Qin armor soldiers in the front barracks are tired, there are still more than 100,000 people inside, and we can't underestimate the enemy!" Xiang Liang said to Xiang Yu with a serious face.
Xiang Yu listened, so he could only nod, because he listened to Xiang Liang's words very much.
At this time, although the rain of arrows of the Chu army could not compare to that of the Qin army, they shot arrows with flames, and in an instant, thousands of arrows with fire fell on the tents in the barracks, and some flammable objects.
At this time, the Chu army outside the barracks was also less than a hundred steps away from the barracks after paying the price of the lives of the soldiers.
"Extinguish the fire!" Monchi shouted as he ordered the 20,000 infantry soldiers to extinguish the fires.
But at this time, Yingzheng stopped Meng Qi's approach.
"Mengqi, don't put out the fire, it's good to start a fire, so that you can still block the enemy army in front, we will retreat while fighting!" Ying Zheng shouted at Meng Qi.
When Meng Qi heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said respectfully to Ying Zheng: "No." ”
At this time, Meng Qi remembered that the 90,000 armor soldiers in the rear camp had already retreated with General Meng Yi, so they were now holding back the enemy troops in front, rather than fighting to the death with the enemy army.
"Order, 20,000 infantry to withdraw to the middle camp, by the way, go to the grain and grass warehouse in the rear camp, and carry some food that can be taken away!" Ying Zheng immediately ordered.
"No."
Suddenly, the 20,000 Great Qin Armor soldiers retreated to the middle camp one after another, and also went to the back camp to take away some food that could be carried with them, almost everyone brought a little bit with them.
"Win the sky, win the strong, you must protect the 30,000 crossbowmen in front, don't let the enemy break in, if you really can't stop it, immediately retreat to the middle camp!" Ying Zheng gave orders to Ying Tian and Ying Qiang again.
"No."
At this time, due to the fire burning in the front camp, the 30,000 crossbowmen also retreated slightly, retreated to the rear end of the front camp, and continued to shoot fiercely at the front.
"Boom!"
Finally, after paying heavy casualties, the front troops of the Chu army forced out of the barracks, at this time, they looked at the raging fire in the Yuanmen, but they did not see the trace of the Qin army inside, which made the generals of the Chu army very puzzled.
At this time, Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and others also came to the front of the army, Xiang Liang saw that the arrow rain of the Qin army inside had weakened significantly, and the fire in the front camp was not extinguished by the Qin army, and Xiang Liang, who was vigilant, frowned.
"Hey, could it be that the Qin army gave up the front camp so easily and retreated to the middle camp? It's impossible, is the other party trying to block our way with the fire in the front camp? haha…… If this is the case, they will lose, and we have sent two teams of men and horses around their middle camp before......" Xiang Yu saw that in front of the gate, those Qin troops were gone, and even the arrow feathers were much rarer, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh no, did they retreat!?" Xiang Liang exclaimed.
"Retreat? Uncle, they are all tired troops, how dare they retreat easily?! Xiang Yu was puzzled.
At this time, two scouts rushed to Xiang Liang, and then immediately turned over and dismounted and said to Xiang Liang: "General, the enemy army has retreated to the middle camp, but there are still Qin army crossbowmen at the back end of the front camp, but the rear camp of the enemy army has not found many Qin army armor soldiers, and at this time, the two Xiang generals began to clash with the enemy middle camp......"
As soon as Xiang Liang heard the report of these two scouts, his face suddenly changed, and then he looked at the back mountain not far from the military camp in front of him.
"It's not good, could it be that the Qin army generally retreated, leaving half of it to resist us...... They ......"
