Chapter 2037 A strong man breaks his wrist
"Steady! Keep calm! As long as we hold the line, the enemy will be annihilated! Black Scale shouted with all his might: "Prepare the bow and arrows, once the enemy is close to the range, don't stop, shoot all the arrows!" ”
"Hold the spear, hold the shield, and when the enemy approaches, stab them into a hole!" The black scales' voice became louder and louder, I don't know if he was cheering himself up, or to boost the morale of his soldiers, the words that were originally a little trembling in his voice became more and more impassioned the more he spoke. Hearing this, the soldiers were also shocked. Of course, it was not only these words that stimulated the morale of the soldiers, but they could see that behind the tide of South Vietnam's troops, friendly troops were chasing the remnants of the South Vietnamese rout, and the commander's banner was surrounded by cavalry, rushing towards this side, which fully explained the enemy's current situation. But such enemies are often the most terrifying. They are in a desperate situation, and the combat effectiveness that they have burst out is also extremely amazing.
"Whoosh......" A round of feathered arrows shot out. Black Scales doesn't expect the accuracy of his feathered arrows to be high, but he expects to be able to block the enemy's footsteps slightly. But this idea is not mature. The Chinese army led by Meng Heilong was the strongest among the infantry troops who crossed the river to fight. Whether it is combat ability or psychological quality, it is stronger than that of ordinary South Vietnamese soldiers. The Chinese army and the Qin army did not fight head-on, and their physical strength and weapons were intact, so when the Qin army shot their bows and arrows, the South Vietnamese soldiers raised their shields one after another to block the advance. Therefore, although the attack of the feather arrow is relatively dense, it cannot bring fatal damage to the enemy.
"Hold your spear and advance!" Black Scales relented and gave the order. With 2,000 men, he occupied a dirt slope that was condescendingly facing the South Vietnamese army. For Qin Jun, this is a small advantage, and he must grasp this small advantage to create some trouble for the enemy.
"Kill, kill!" Under the command of Black Scale, the spears of the infantry were slowly lowered, pushing the infantry troops approaching South Vietnam. Most of the weapons of the infantry army in South Vietnam were rudimentary machetes and bamboo spears, and it was difficult to form a system of weapons. Meng Heilong's army is okay, because it has defeated Tu Ju before, it has captured a large number of Qin army materials, and its weapons and equipment have also been upgraded by several levels, and the weapons are basically the same as those used by the Qin army. However, in peacetime, there is a lack of reasonable cooperation training, and they basically fight independently, and it is difficult to form a neat and uniform combat phalanx like the Qin army. Therefore, in actual combat, the lethality of the phalanx of the Qin army was far stronger than that of the South Vietnamese army.
However, the South Vietnamese army was superior to the large number of people. Soldiers twice as large as the Qin army poured in like a tide, and the Qin army's array could not withstand such an impact, like a ship tossed in a stormy sea, difficult to control. Black Scales gave a death order not to allow the army to disperse, so he barely maintained the formation. However, in this way, Meng Heilong found a loophole, and under his command, the 5,000-strong army was quickly divided into three parts, one part stayed behind and the Qin army infantry army array to fight hard, and the other two parts bypassed the Qin army formation and went straight to the ferry! Meng Heilong was naturally among these two people and fled.
"This guy is shameless enough!" Black Scales sighed, but he couldn't divide his forces to pursue Meng Heilong's army. In order to survive, Meng Heilong left 3,000 South Vietnamese soldiers to fight with his phalanx. The Qin army was well-trained and showed great combat ability, but the desperate attack of the South Vietnamese soldiers, the Qin army could not defeat it for a while, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. Black Scales knew that even if he drew out five hundred men, his phalanx would be crushed by the enemy. And the five hundred people were far from being the opponents of the two thousand remnants that Meng Heilong had taken away. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and let Meng Heilong go.
Fortunately, Chen Sheng had already led the cavalry to chase after him at this time. The cavalry quickly broke into the South Vietnamese army, and formed a flanking attack with the infantry army, which immediately broke the military heart of the remnants of the South Vietnamese army, and the remnants of the army quickly fled like four directions. Meng Heilong has fled to the ferry, hurry up and chase wow! "Black Scale is very worried that if he fails to stop Meng Heilong, he will be punished by the adults.
Chen Sheng was also looking for Meng Heilong's whereabouts at this time, and when he heard Black Scale's anxious reminder, he hurriedly gathered his cavalry and chased after the distant enemy.
Meng Heilong wanted to cry without tears. More than 17,000 people crossed the river, but less than 3,000 were now with him. The rest were killed or captured or fled. Such a defeat has never been achieved in his life. In particular, the annihilation of the entire army of the three thousand iron cavalry was even more fatal to Meng Heilong. This iron cavalry, he was even reluctant to fight on the front line, but only placed it in Longchuan City, which was used to deter the disobedient Baiyue tribes in all parts of Lingnan. Now that this iron cavalry has fallen, his absolute position in all parts of Lingnan will be shaken.
Meng Heilonghu had tears in his eyes, and under the mixture of grief and indignation, he couldn't wait to fly back to Longchuan City at this time, gather the army that was still capable of fighting, and fight Chen Sheng to the death with dignity. Although he suffered repeated defeats, Meng Heilong still had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and his actual combat strength was still much stronger than the Qin army on the other side.
However, after arriving at the ferry, Meng Heilong's last hope was dashed.
The bamboo raft that crossed the river was now gone. Since the Qin army had captured the ferry, how could they leave the ships behind? Meng Heilong's eyes erupted with fire, roared angrily towards the sky, and said sharply: "The whole army turned around and went back to fight with the Qin army!" ”
"The king must not!" The strategists around him hurriedly persuaded him: "King, our army has thousands of boats crossing the river, and in a while, the Qin army will never be destroyed, it should be untied the rope and let it drift downstream, we will go down the river, we will definitely be able to find the boats to cross the river, the king, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" ”
Meng Heilong's heart was in turmoil, how could he figure it out like this. After listening to the words of the strategist, he came to his senses a little and led the army down the riverbank. Along the way, I found a lot of bamboo rafts floating on the river.
However, at this time, Chen Sheng's cavalry had already appeared far behind him, and Meng Heilong felt another burst of despair in his heart.
"King, you lead a thousand soldiers to continue to go down, stay and block the enemy for a while!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the strategist hurriedly said to Meng Heilong.
Hearing this, Meng Heilong burst into tears: "Hu Qi! You have been with the widow for decades, and in the past few decades, the lonely king has been conceited, and many of them have not listened to your good words, so that they have been. How can I bear it now and abandon you? At this time, Meng Heilong was full of remorse, and there was a lot of repentance and unwillingness between his words.
