Chapter 52: The Second Crusade 6
readx;??“ No one is allowed to retreat, otherwise, !! will be killed."
In this case, the Overseer under the command of Long Ji directly used the weapons in their hands as a threat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Book Library] [].. [];
But there is one thing that they have forgotten, that is, these Chu officers and soldiers also have weapons in their hands.
Some Chu officers and soldiers were indeed frightened by these warlords, but more of the warlords directly turned their hearts and roared loudly: "They don't want us to live, instead of fighting to the death with the Qin people, we might as well fight our own way home!!
"We don't want to die in this place!!!! we want to go home!"
More and more Chu officers and soldiers officially turned their weapons against these overseers under the call of this person.
A scuffle broke out between the two sides on the banks of the Yingshui River.
......
Han Xin didn't understand the sudden chaos in the military formation under Long Ji's command, because he knew very well that Long Ji should not be an incompetent general, and logically speaking, this situation was unlikely.
But no matter what, Han Xin naturally couldn't say anything about benevolence and demeanor to his enemies, and after thinking about it for a while, Han Xin directly said his order loudly:
"The knightly troops harass the opposing formations on the periphery, waiting for follow-up reinforcements!!"
Soon after Han Xin's order was issued, more than 3,000 knights under Han Xin's command quickly rushed to the Chu army formation under the command of the commanders of their respective troops.
Because the Chu army is in an increasingly chaotic situation, there are not many Chu officers and soldiers who can really fight against these knights.
And these knights did not directly enter the Chu army's military formation, but used their own bows and crossbows to shoot at the Chu army's military formation in an area about two hundred meters away from the Chu army's military formation.
In this case, the counterattack of a small number of Chu army archers appeared so sparse under the increasingly dense arrow fire of the Qin army.
In the face of this situation, Long He was very helpless, because more and more Chu officers and soldiers from the Huainan region trained by Peng Yue fell into chaos, and in such a situation, even if Long Ji had Wu Qi's ability, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with this embarrassing situation.
He had to send his own personal guards to get the Chinese troops in front to come back to help.
And after these guards left, Long He suddenly discovered a problem, that is, even if the Chinese army troops under his command arrived, they might not be able to change the situation.
Because most of the Chu officers and soldiers of these Chinese army units are also Chu people from Huainan and other places.
In this case, the arrival of these Chinese troops may make things worse and worse.
Thinking of this, Long Ji couldn't help but ooze a lot of fine beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead, but in the end, he still didn't send someone to recover these guards again.
What he didn't know was that there was no chance for confusion in these Chinese troops, because after a period of time, the Chu officers and soldiers of these Chinese troops encountered a large number of Qin knight troops on the way back to help.
What Long Ji didn't expect was that he did not die in the chaotic military formation, but was directly besieged and killed by Han Xin's elite troops after Han Xin broke through the officers and soldiers under his command with superior forces.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Han Xin did not push the Chu army too much without sufficient infantry troops.
This made many Chu officers and soldiers who planned to flee see the hope of their own survival.
This also made these Chu officers and soldiers face their former robes, that is, the members of the overseers, and the weapons in their hands kept greeting these superintendents.
Soon, the officers and men of the Overseer Combat Team, who were fundamentally inferior in numbers, were simply unable to resist the increasing number of Chu officers and soldiers who planned to escape.
Many of them, after killing and injuring a few of their own robes, were killed by more weapons.
Long He knew this very well, and he was eager to use his prestige among the Chu army to quell the chaos.
But in the end, Long Ji overestimated his reputation and strength.
If it weren't for the fact that the officers and soldiers around him were desperately resisting the impact of a small number of rebel troops on them, I am afraid that Long Ji himself would even have to draw his weapons and slash these officers and soldiers.
In this case, Long Ji knew very well that if he continued to stay in this place, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to escape from this place himself.
But he didn't think about escaping from this place first, because he couldn't let the prestige he had built up in the past few years of fighting be wiped out.
He didn't want to have a reputation of running away in embarrassment among the generals of the Chu army.
If Zhang Jiashi knew Long Ji's thoughts, he might be very amused by the other party's thoughts.
Because for Zhang Jiashi, if he can leave a life, then it is possible to take revenge even if he wants to take revenge in the future.
But once a person loses his life, then nothing can be done.
It's just that since Zhang Jiashi didn't know Long Ji's thoughts, even if he knew Long Ji's thoughts, he wouldn't feel anything. Because this is a dragon and voluntarily stays in the place of death, it is not that he let the other party stay on this river beach and continue to command the battle.
Since the other party likes to look for death, if Zhang Jiashi knew, maybe he would hand over a rope to the side.
After all, for the enemies in this episode, Zhang Jiashi doesn't think that magnanimity or anything is needed.
......
Soon, while Long He was overwhelmed by the two situations around him, he also noticed one point, that is, there were more than 10,000 infantry troops under Han Xin's command, and they were charging at them.
Seeing this, Long Ji couldn't help but gasp in his heart.
If in normal times, there was no confusion among the officers and soldiers under Long Ji's command, then for Long Ji, these Qin infantry who rushed towards them would naturally not be afraid.
But now, Long He did not have the confidence to lead his officers and soldiers who still obeyed his orders to resist the offensive of more than 10,000 menacing Qin infantry.
After seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, he suddenly turned his heart sideways and roared loudly: "Everyone, retreat !!"
But Long Ji's order, there are not many Chu officers and soldiers who really carry it out. And more Chu officers and soldiers, they have either paid the price for their participation in this battle, or they have found a way to survive from this riverside vicinity.
It can be said that in this case, Long Ji has already lost his ability to control this army.
Of course, Long Ji was not willing to admit defeat like this, but directly led his personal guards and a small number of Chu officers and soldiers who still obeyed his orders to break through to the southeast.
In this case, even Long Ji had to send his weapons into the bodies of the Chu officers and soldiers who were blocking in front of them.
......
Long Ji really planned to escape, because in this case, being chased by the Qin army, then there was really only one way out.
But what Long Ji didn't expect was that the Chinese army under his command was not much better now.
Because Li Shang and the Li Scabies brothers led a large number of knights, from a small fork in the road they marched to, they rushed out directly.
It is true that the current knights, under the restraint of Zhang Jiashi, are temporarily unable to have the ability to directly break through the infantry formation like the cavalry units of later generations.
However, without defense, this Chu army was also unable to break through the dense arrow attacks of the Qin knights commanded by Li Shang and the Li Scab brothers.
More and more Chu officers and soldiers fell to the ground, and in the sky, dense arrows continued to fall on their bodies or beside them.
The screams of the Chu officers and soldiers came one after another, and the Chu officers and soldiers continued to fall to the ground, lose their combat effectiveness or die directly from the shooting of these arrows.
And what Li Shang and Li Ji didn't know was that if it weren't for the fact that Long Ji distributed all the Qin army equipment and armaments found from Yangzhai City to the rear army, their combat method would not be so easy, and even in the counterattack with better performance of the bow and crossbow, they would pay a heavier price.
However, these Chu officers and soldiers were not allocated the equipment and equipment they got from Yangzhai City, so in this case, even if many Chu officers and soldiers planned to fight back, they could not bring considerable casualties to the nearly 10,000 knights under the command of the two. On the contrary, with more and more casualties among the Chu crossbowmen, these knights became more and more effective in striking at these Chu officers and soldiers.
There is another big disadvantage of the knight troops under the command of Li Shang and Li Xuan, that is, their combat continuity ability is not good, especially when the arrows equipped by the troops are exhausted, they have to figure out how to continue the next battle.
After a little exchange, Li Shang and Li Zhan thought that the current Chu officers and soldiers could not assemble a formation that could effectively resist the knight's surprise attack, so they turned their hearts and directly issued an order:
"Brothers, for the sake of the Great Qin Empire, follow me to kill the enemy army!!"
Li Shang and Understanding, who roared out this sentence almost in unison, waved the weapon in his hand and rushed to the queue of Chu officers and soldiers.
And after hearing this, the knights behind them followed behind Li Shang and Li Zhen and launched a charge attack on the Chu army.
There are some two or five hundred lords who are a little farther away who know that this thing can't be done, but they have to also command the knights under their command to charge at the Chu army, because they can't directly leave the two commanders of Li Shang and Li Scabies now, if something goes wrong with these two people, God knows what kind of price they will pay and what kind of punishment they will accept because of this situation.
As a result, on this small field about seven miles southwest of Yangzhai City, nearly 10,000 Qin army knights launched a charge against the Chu officers and soldiers who had not yet been able to successfully assemble a defensive formation.
With Li Shang and the main knight troops under the command of Li Xuan, and the commanders of other Qin knight troops following from both wings, these more than 9,000 Qin knights formed a sharp formation and launched a fierce attack on these Chu officers and soldiers.
Many of the Chu army recruits had no combat experience in dealing with knights at all, except for a small number of veterans who knew that in this case, it was best to be able to assemble a dense formation to resist the attacks of these Qin army knights, for them, these Qin army knights were demons from hell.
The two sides soon collided together, and Li Shang and Li Zhan continued to wave the weapons in their hands, using various techniques to kill and injure the Chu officers and soldiers in front of them.
Many Qin knights also constantly used their weapons to greet the officers and soldiers of Chu.
However, once these Chu officers and soldiers assembled a small dense defensive formation, the knights of the Qin army, who lacked long-range attack power, often had to pay a great price to solve the other party.
There were constantly Chu officers and soldiers killed by Qin army knights, or some Qin army knights were pierced through the armor of their bodies by several or even a dozen spears after killing a few Chu soldiers, and after falling to the ground, they pulled out a few times and were silent.
However, the coping ability and combat effectiveness of these Chu troops are far from those of the knights under Zhang Jiashi.
Although some of the knights under Li Shang and Li Yan were recruits, for these Qin officers and soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the Chu officers and soldiers was really quite far behind the enemies they had encountered before.
In this case, after paying nearly a thousand or so casualties, the knights of the Qin army directly suppressed this Chu army of officers and soldiers.
If it weren't for the fact that many Chu army veterans knew that once the formation collapsed, they would die faster, or they would have run away a long time ago, instead of continuing to fight with these Qin army knights in this situation.
It's a pity that these Chu officers and soldiers are indeed quite hardworking, but most of the other Chu officers and soldiers have no way to resist the Qin knights in front of them.
So less than twenty minutes after the battle, the area where the Chu officers and soldiers were gathered was directly broken through by Li Shang and the Qin officers and soldiers under the command of Li Xuan.
This also means that the efforts of these veterans of the Chu army suddenly came to naught.
However, Li Shang and Li Zhan did not order the troops to pursue the collapsed Chu army, but saw that a Chu army seemed to be being pursued by Han Xin's knight troops.
"Would you like to do General Han a favor?"
He gently wiped the blood from his face, and he asked his cousin.
Li Zhen's words made Li Shang can't help but fall into thought, because the enemy that Han Xin is desperately pursuing will naturally not be too cheap.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Li Xuan: "Brother, you bring a thousand people over to support General Han, and I will continue to command the troops to fight here." ”
After hearing Li Shang's words, Li Ji felt a little grateful in his heart. But there is no hypocrisy between them.
After a while, Li Shang looked at the scabies that were gradually moving away, turned around and roared loudly: "Brothers, chase me !!."
Naturally, what Li Shang wanted to pursue was not the enemy running from the southeast, but the rout of the Chu army that wanted to flow southwest.
After hearing Li Shang's order, many Qin army knights who had taken a little rest still carried out Li Shang's order, although they were a little reluctant in their hearts.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
After Han Xin glanced at the knights of the Qin army who were chasing from another direction, as well as the young man who was the leader, he didn't say anything, but continued to command the knights under his command to pursue the remnants of the three hundred knights of Long Ji.
He knew very well that if nothing else, the dragon was in this knight army.
Encountering such a situation, Han Xin naturally would not let go of Long Ji.
And Long Ji is indeed as Han Xin thought, among this group of Chu army knights.
He didn't understand Han Shin's desperate pursuit of him at first.
But after thinking about it carefully, Long Ji was relieved, because if it was him, he would naturally not let go of the commander of the Qin army in this situation.
It's just that his misunderstanding of the horsepower and horse quality between the two sides directly led to his death under siege.
......
Because of the problem of lack of horsepower, more and more Chu knights were caught up by Qin knights for a distance, and then killed by a wave of arrows.
And after Long Ji knew about this situation, he couldn't help but hate itchy, because he didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation.
Although the mount under his crotch was a BMW, he also didn't expect that Li Ji would spare no horsepower to catch up with him for a while, and after shortening the distance between the two sides, he directly aimed at the dragon and shot an arrow from the mount under his crotch.
Of course, Long Ji didn't expect that at such a distance, Li Ji would actually shoot his own arrows directly.
He didn't have much defense, and then threw his mount to the ground after being wounded by an arrow in his left leg......
When Long He stood up from the ground with his own skills, not too embarrassed, all he saw was his old buddy looking at him with a sad look.
The front legs of his mount had been broken, and the dragon knew very well that the old man who had been with him for many years could no longer gallop on the ground as before.
He took his big shot and pierced his mount's heart with a blade......
He opened his eyes, let go of the hand holding Da Ge, and looked at the Qin army knights who were getting closer and closer, he drew his two swords, and then roared loudly:
"Come on, let me take a look at you Qin dogs, if you have the ability to get my first !!"
Long Ji, who roared after these words, quickly rushed towards the oncoming ......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
At the same time, Zhang Jiashi was watching the music sent from Guanzhong in his tent.
Because of the dispatch of the army, Zhang Jiashi had to put the security of some areas in the Guanzhong area under the command of Li Zheng, and each was responsible for the security of his own villages.
This kind of thing still raises a lot of questions.
For example, the quality of these tours is uneven, and some of them are even unscrupulous.
Therefore, in this case, many of the notes record some of the results of the handling of these crimes.
Zhang Jiashi looked at these songs, and he was still very helpless in his heart, because he was now short of troops, and there was no way to make better arrangements.
But what Zhang Jiashi doesn't know now is that a piece of good news will make him forget about this situation for a while......
