Remember for a second [Think โรท Ke โ Xiao โณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Now the situation has been placed in front of everyone's eyes, the Qin army is attacking in three ways, but the three roads are all suspicious soldiers, and according to Xiang Yan's own analysis, although the Qin soldiers of these three roads are in full swing on the surface, they look like the whole army is dispatched, but together they are probably less than 10,000 people, which is ....... Xiang Yan looked at Li Shimin a little embarrassed and asked, "Shimin, what do you think our army should do now?" โ
Li Shimin thought for a moment and said: "Marshal, now that our army is in the light and the enemy army is in the dark, we still don't act rashly, anyway, the Qin army is only 40,000 soldiers and horses, even if it comes out tonight, it will be difficult to make any splash in our army, and their target is the head of Meng Wu, why don't we change to the ever-changing, just wait with peace of mind." โ
Xiang Yan pondered for a while and said, "Then do as you say." โ
.......
At this time, Yingcheng, 80,000 Chu troops under the leadership of the veteran Yang Lin, non-stop attack on the north gate, Yang Lin gathered all the soldiers and horses in one place, is to hope to quickly break through Yingcheng, but the more than 20,000 Qin troops left behind are not dry food, under the command of Cao Cao, constantly repelled wave after wave of attacks of the Chu army, after handing over this place to a deputy general, Cao Cao came to the east city wall alone, looking at the Chu army camp that can only vaguely see some bright light.
Cao Cao of Yingcheng is still very relieved, before this, more than 20,000 people were able to carry Xiang Yan's army of more than 300,000 for two days, not to mention that now they only have 80,000 people, what really worries him is the soldiers who attacked the Chu camp.
At first, Cao Cao was worried that Xiang Yan would send people around behind the Qin army to encircle and annihilate more than 10,000 soldiers, which would make his future plans go to waste, but Xiang Yan didn't do this, thinking that his goal was still Meng Tian, in fact, if Xiang Yan was really like Cao Cao was worried about, he would directly send people to surround these Qin troops, and he would only kill 10,000 ordinary soldiers at most, but famous generals like Li Xin and Meng Tian were still alive and well. If you change to an ordinary adjutant general of the Qin army, I am afraid that it will be broken on the first day.
With the arrival of more than 30,000 Qin troops under Meng Tian, the defense of Yingcheng was greatly enhanced, Xiang Yan wanted to take Yingcheng, the loss would be even greater, which was not conducive to the subsequent attack, so Xiang Yan did not send people to encircle and annihilate these Qin troops, because he knew that since the Qin army dared to take the initiative to attack tonight, it meant that Meng Tian and Li Xin were determined to snatch back Meng Wu's head. Anyway, the Qin army you are defending the city is only a little more than 40,000, and I have so many people in a front battalion, if it weren't for the fear that Meng Tian would be scared away by himself, he would have sent people to surround and annihilate these Qin troops, it can be said that because of various psychological factors, the current scene has been caused, and Cao Cao has found out his thoughts, so he has this series of plans.
Cao Cao stood on the east city wall for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Judging from the time, it should be almost over, and it just so happened that at this time, a Qin army ran towards him and arched his hand: "Report, General Sun has led his troops back safely." โ
When Cao Cao heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Pass my order, the Qin army that attacked the left and right battalions quickly retreated, and told Captain Wang to give me ten thousand arrows immediately, and I will turn the Chu army camp into a sea of fire." โ
"No."
Five minutes later, Captain Wang got Cao Cao's order, the three thousand crossbowmen behind him were already ready, and the sharp arrows that lit the fire were tightly buckled on each bow and crossbow, and the next second Captain Wang waved his hand and released the arrows!!
Rubbing, the sound of the arrow's departure continued to sound, like a firework like a rocket whistling through the air, shooting towards the Chu army camp, a full 20,000 arrows, in less than three minutes, all shot out of the Chu army's camp, in an instant, the continuous Chu camp, completely turned into a sea of fire.......
........
Twenty minutes ago.
Luo Cheng's soldiers reported to Xiang Yan about the battle situation in the front camp, and after half of the Qin army suffered casualties, he took the initiative to retreat, because Luo Cheng didn't want to startle the snake and didn't let the soldiers chase after him, and returned to the camp gate to hold on, Xiang Yan didn't say anything, Luo Cheng did the right thing, if he rashly pursued, what if he was ambushed on this night when he couldn't see his fingers, and maybe he would scare away Meng Tian, who was already preparing to come to sneak attack, which was a bit more than worth the loss.
As for the other left and right battalions and the same situation as before, the Qin army has been feintting, Wei Wentong and Liang Shitai did not pay attention to these small fish and shrimp jumping, especially Liang Shitai simply went back to sleep, but this situation was quickly reversed, about when Luo Cheng had not repelled the Qin army in the front camp, according to Cao Cao's plan, the Qin army on the left and right flanks suddenly began to launch a fierce attack, and the Chu army defending the camp did not care at first, only when they were still feinting as before, several Chu soldiers standing on top of the camp, Yawned and shot a few arrows and continued to nap, it was almost two o'clock, who could stand it, didn't you see that the main generals were sleeping?
But who knew that this time the Qin army was playing with them, almost instantly, the seven thousand Qin troops broke through the first gate of the left and right wings at the same time, Wei Wentong was sitting in his tent drinking, and he didn't pay much attention when he heard the noise outside, until a crossbow arrow hit the desk in his tent, he reacted, rushed out of the tent and saw that the camp in the distance was full of Qin army and Chu army fighting, damn, what is the situation?
Wei Wentong hurriedly dragged a personal soldier and asked, only to know that just now, an unknown number of Qin troops launched a number of fierce attacks on the right camp, those Qin troops wearing black armor were like a fierce tiger, and they broke through the two walled gates in an instant, and the third one could not be defended, it is said that the Qin army put all the main forces in the right camp, not to mention 50,000 people.......
Wei Wentong became angry when he heard it, damn, where did these 50,000 people come from, and the Qin army in the entire Yingcheng did not have 50,000, if he knew that the Qin army that came was only 5,000, and was blown into 50,000 by his subordinates, I really don't know what the expression would be, I responded to that sentence, it's not that the national army is not strong, but the communist army has up to .....
The sudden onslaught of the Qin army caught the Chu army off guard, the first gate and the second gate were lost in this situation, and many Chu troops had just woken up from their sleep before they could get dressed, and they were hacked to death on the bed by the Qin army who rushed over.
Although Wei Wentong did not forget Xiang Yan's entrustment, but now he can't figure out whether the Qin army came from Benmengwu or not, no matter what, kill them all first, Wei Wentong ordered 30,000 people to fight with the Qin army outside the gate of the third camp, and the Qin army retreated after about a quarter of an hour.
The situation on Liang Shitai's side was similar to Wei Wentong's, but he only had 2,000 Qin troops here, and the 40,000 soldiers under his command quickly repelled them.
The next moment Xiang Yan received Luo Cheng's repulsion of the Qin army, the Chu army of the left and right battalions hurriedly reported to him, saying that the Qin army suddenly attacked and then suddenly withdrew, so that all the Qin troops attacking the camp were withdrawn.
Xiang Yan was still at a loss, what the hell was the Qin army going to do, could it be that they were just here to give them heads, or they didn't want them to sleep well, and planned to use the strategy of exhausting the enemy to drag them down? Impossible, although Yang Lin took 80,000 people to attack the city, the Chu army still has 280,000 horses, the first three battalions on the left and right have 120,000, the Chinese army itself has 60,000 people, plus 50,000 ambush soldiers transferred from the rear army, there are 110,000 people, so many soldiers and horses, it must be the Qin army that will be dragged down in the end, and it cannot be their Chu army, which ....... Xiang Yan, who was puzzled, finally had to choose to continue waiting.
After Luo Cheng repelled the Qin army, he couldn't help being sleepy, told the soldiers to pay attention to the defense, and then went back to the camp to sleep, just when he was about to fall asleep, a drop of wine fell on his face from the top of his tent, Luo Cheng wiped it indiscriminately and turned over and continued to sleep, but at this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and recalled the scene of the previous battle with the Qin army in his mind, he remembered that when the Qin army was fighting, it seemed to ....... Looking at the dripping wine on the tent and the candle flame on the side of the desk, Luo Cheng's face changed greatly, and he couldn't even care about wearing armor, so he hurriedly ran out of the tent and shouted: "Quickly go and inform the marshal that the Qin army is going to attack with fire." โ
Almost at the same time, Wei Wentong also discovered the abnormality, after repelling the Qin army, the soldiers under his command were busy carrying corpses and cleaning the battlefield, before because of the cover of the smell of blood, and the reason why he had just finished drinking, he didn't care about the smell of wine in his nose, but when he got off the horse and was about to go back to the camp to rest, the soles of his feet slipped and suddenly fell, Wei Wentong fell on the wine and oil splashes, and scolded and said: "Damn, who poured oil on the ground and fell to death...... Wait, oil? Where did the oil come from, Wei Wentong was shocked, and hurriedly looked around, and found that on the ground around him, in addition to the red blood, there were also stalls of crude oil and wine, which ...... These are......
In an instant, Wei Wentong's mind appeared the same scene as Luo Cheng, the Qin army attacking the camp, in addition to fighting with them, it seemed that they had done another thing, they kept throwing some bottles and cans in their camp, he noticed this scene, but because the sky was dark and the distance was relatively far, Luo Cheng and Wei Wentong only vaguely saw the strange behavior of the Qin army when the two armies were fighting, but they didn't take it to heart, first, they were really sleepy, causing their heads to be a little confused, Second, it is because the strength of his side is too strong, even if the Qin army wants to play some tricks, no matter how absolute the strength is, it is not to hit the stone with an egg, but ....... The ground is full of crude oil and alcohol, and at this moment, as long as there is a little spark, it will ignite a fire in the sky!!
Wei Wentong roared desperately: "Pass my order, everyone get out of here, and ....... Wei Wentong's words came to an abrupt end, because faint lights suddenly appeared in mid-air, Wei Wentong understood what these were, fire attack fire attack, if there is no fire, what is it called fire attack.
At the same time as the first wave of rockets fell, the continuous Chu army camp burned into flames.
