Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Battle of the Giant Deer

On the northern outskirts of Julu County, more than 20 miles away from the sand dunes, Xu Gui and his 10,000 soldiers were surrounded by 80,000 troops under Zhao Kuang.

Zhao Kuang has 40,000 Great Qin soldiers under his command, and 60,000 are county soldiers, although the county soldiers are not as elite as the regular army, but they are armed with sophisticated Great Qin equipment, and the threat is not small at all.

The terrain here is very open, although there are many peaks and cliffs around, but it is also accessible in all directions, but unfortunately surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, Xu Gui can only cry out in vain.

A falcon in the sky hovered and landed on Zhao Kuang's arm, he took off the silk strip on the falcon's feet and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly froze.

At this time, he rode his horse and stood on a hillside about a hundred paces away from the battlefield below, Xu Gui only brought light cavalry and foot soldiers, and there were no crossbowmen, let alone archers, he stood here to be a stable group.

Zhao Kuang finished reading the content of the silk strip, his eyes swept down intentionally or unintentionally, where his general Meng Jie was, his face showed a touch of cruelty, and then looked at Xu Gui, and shouted: "Xu Gui, this general came to get medicine on the order of the prime minister, if you don't give me the elixir, you obviously want to disobey." ”

Xu Gui, who was in the encirclement, did not back down in the slightest, and said loudly: "The elixir can only be handed over to General Meng or General Yang, and the others, if you can't get Your Majesty's decree, Xu Gui will be difficult to obey." ”

Zhao Kuang said: "The prime minister is under the dictation of His Majesty, you dare to disobey the emperor's order, and you should be punished for your crimes." ”

After saying this, Zhao Kuang waved his hand, and the drummer beside him beat the war drum, and then the war drums placed on the surrounding mountains sounded one after another.

The general of Zhao Kuangjun below shouted: "Control." ”

"Control...... Control...... Control ......"

Meng Jie's face changed greatly, he was originally a partial general under Meng Yi, and he has always been good friends with Xu Gui, and a few years ago he was transferred to Zhao Kuang of Julu County, as a position similar to the instructor of the teaching team, responsible for training the county soldiers.

This time Zhao Kuang launched a rebellion too suddenly, he didn't have time to react at all, but at this time, Zhao Kuang wanted to attack Xu Gui, how could he listen to his orders?

Seeing that the enemy was ready to attack, Xu Gui also knew that today's battle was inevitable, and the scout should have brought the information back, and he could only count on the support of the Mengjia army now.

As long as the elixir is handed over, his mission will be completed, even if he dies immediately, it can be regarded as living up to His Majesty's trust, but now, he must not die, and shouted at the moment: "Yu." ”

"Imperial ...... Manage...... Imperial ......"

Xu Guijun's infantry quickly shrank into a circular formation, the first column of shields erected a shield array in front of them, and the latter raised their shields above their heads, one after another, forming an all-round defensive formation.

"Fat."

"Hair ...... Hair...... Hair ......"

The crossbowmen and the archers under Zhao Kuang's command shot arrows one after another, and the rain of arrows shrouded down, clanging on the shields, although a few soldiers were killed by the arrows that passed through the gaps, but it had no effect on the array.

It was all the Qin army, and they knew their respective tactics and tactics, and seeing that the crossbowmen could not make meritorious contributions, Zhao Kuang turned to shout: "Strike." ”

"Hit ...... Hit...... Hit ......"

"Strike" is the order to break the formation, hearing this order, the chariot soldiers shook the reins of their horses, and the Daqin chariot troops immediately rumbled towards the array.

The chariot is a sharp weapon to break the shield array, and Di Rong is because there is no chariot soldier, and there is no good way to break the formation, so he can only use the cavalry to rush hard, and break the formation at the cost of several times the casualties.

Sergeant Xu Gui stabbed his spear through the crack in the shield wall, but they all knew that they were already in a dead end at this point.

The shield array could not stop the chariots from charging at all, and if the shield was withdrawn at this time to respond, the opponent's crossbowmen and cavalry archers would immediately slaughter them unilaterally.

Therefore, they can only carry this wave hard, and when the shield array is broken, intertwined with the enemy's canine teeth, and mixed together, the enemy's crossbowmen will lose their effect, and at that time, it will be life and death.

"Attack."

"Attack...... Attack...... Attack ......"

After the chariot rushed out, Zhao Kuang gave another order, and his cavalry immediately rushed up after the chariot, and when the chariot broke through the shield array, it was the time for them to start killing.

Only Meng Jie still didn't move, he was waiting, waiting for Meng Yi or Yang Yifei to arrive, at that time, he might be the only way to survive here.

Zhao Kuang on the mountain looked at Meng Jie coldly, but he didn't say anything, how could he not know who Meng Jie was? He was in that position, which was deliberately arranged by Zhao Kuang.

The road behind Meng Jie that seemed to be the only way to survive was actually a real dead end, only 80,000 people came to besiege Xu Gui, and where the remaining 20,000 people were, it goes without saying.

But Zhao Kuang didn't know that all this Yang Yifei was clear, in front of him, a person who knew all the plots, all the conspiracies, traps and ambushes, all seemed so pale and powerless.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The heavy chariot finally hit the shield wall with the war horse pulling the cart, and the impact brought by the huge inertia was not at all something that manpower could resist, and the shield array was broken one after another, and several rows of soldiers behind the shield wall were knocked to pieces and fell.

When the chariot is about to hit the shield wall, the chariot soldiers have already jumped out of the car, and they have been specially trained to jump the car to ensure that they will not fall and get injured when jumping out of the car.

The next moment the shield array was broken, the cavalry jumped into the shield array and slashed and slashed, of course, there were also cavalrymen who were stabbed off their horses with spearmen, and the battlefield entered a state of dog-tooth melee.

They were not afraid of killing the wrong person, because the cloaks of the generals of Xu Guijun were all red, while the cloaks of the rebel generals were green, and the rebel soldiers also wore a green scarf around their necks.

"Boom ......"

At this moment, one of the roads near the battlefield that extended in all directions suddenly rushed out of a group of cavalry, and it was Yang Yifei who led the army to arrive.

"Zhao Kuang, Your Majesty has a decree, let him go immediately." As soon as Yang Yifei arrived at the scene, he took out the imperial golden talisman and shouted to Zhao Kuang.

Although he knew that this was useless, this was a process to occupy the commanding heights of righteousness, and he had to go, so that the soldiers knew that he was the representative of the first emperor, and Zhao Kuang was a rebellious minister and thief.

Sure enough, after Zhao Kuang saw the golden talisman given by the emperor, he shouted: "You dare to falsely pass on the holy decree, the soldiers obey the order, kill them, and leave no one behind." ”

Yang Yifei was furious, took off his bow and arrow, raised his hand and shot an arrow at Zhao Kuang.

Zhao Kuang knew that he was a sharpshooter, how could he not guard against him? When Yang Yifei raised his bow, he had already turned over, jumped off the horse, squatted down, and entered the blind spot of Yang Yifei's line of sight.

"Huh"

The arrow swept past his previous figure, and the roar it brought with it made him secretly frightened.

Yang Yifei didn't expect this arrow to hit him, this was just a deterrent, in the original play, Meng Jie was shot to death by Zhao Kuang's arrow, and now that he is here, he naturally won't watch his predecessor die in front of him.
