Chapter 65: Guan Long Qin Feng 24

readx;?? For the first time, Nangong realized such a way of fighting. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info(.. )

Because in his heart, this way of using light chariots to transport material officers is quite incredible. After all, at this time, the material officer was more of a vassal force of the light chariot than the other way around.

But Wang Li seemed to understand the doubts in Nangong Qi's heart, and he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Captain Nangong, our king, there are many more thoughts like this. Of course, this is not to say that our king does not understand military affairs, once you get used to the king's ideas, you will find that the king's methods are very effective. ”

After hearing Wang Li's words, Nangong was skeptical. Wang Li, on the other hand, sighed softly: "We are still a little far away from the troops in front, and according to the situation of a normal rapid march, it is impossible for us to rush to the rescue of the troops in front before tomorrow afternoon." In this case, we have to think of a way to reverse such an unfavorable situation. ”

After Nangong Qi heard Wang Li's explanation, he understood why Wang Li would give him such an order. But for him, Wang Li's arrangement gave him another kind of doubt.

He couldn't help but look around, and after finding that there was no one else within ten meters, he whispered: "General, in fact, we can completely wait for this place and build a defensive line for the Chu army to come and send them to death." ”

"Captain Nangong, this is certainly a good idea, but can you imagine that once we take such a approach, how will the other officers and soldiers of the entire Liaodong Army, as well as the king, think of us? Once we do this, the king may not reproach us for such a practice, but including General Shi and others, I am afraid that they will have a lot of criticism against us. So, now that we've determined who we're serving for, we can't help but think about something. ”

Wang Li said this, walked to Nangong Qi's side, and gently patted the other party's shoulder: "Nangong Duwei, there are some things that come out of my mouth and into your ears, I hope you can think about it." Although the king is peaceful and not as angry and casual as the first emperor, this does not mean that the king is weak and can be bullied. ”

Wang Li left Nangong Period's side, leaving Nangong Period alone, thinking about what Wang Li said to him in the same place.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

When Nangong led the army to rush over, the Chu army once again launched a second offensive against this hill camp.

In contrast to the first offensive, the Chu army, which had detoured to the west and northwest, did not launch a direct attack, but was preparing something.

In contrast to the situation in the first battle, after the Chu army paid a certain number of casualties, a dense wave of rockets appeared in the sky and shot towards the camp area.

Li Ping and Zhuang Guang gritted their teeth with hatred for such a situation. Although such an attack would not cause them any casualties, the remaining defenders would not be able to fully protect all the supplies at the time.

Li Ping and Zhuang Guang knew very well that once things deteriorated, they would have a lot of fun.

Because although most of the rockets, even if they hit the wagon, after covering the gravel, it is not easy for these rockets to ignite the wagon and directly affect the materials under the wagon. But the horses didn't have much protection.

They are very distressed about war horses, although Liaodong and other areas located south of the Great Wall are considered horse ranches, but they have followed Zhang Jiashi for so long, they naturally know very well that no matter what time it is, their war horses and even some horses are quite scarce.

Otherwise, Zhang Jiashi would not have let Liaodong Bingzao produce those tricycles that are actually not very easy to use.

At the very least, if the tricycles worked, they wouldn't still be using horse-drawn carts to transport supplies.

Many houses where war horses are placed are set on fire, but even the driver of a prisoner army knows that at such a time, if these war horses are released, there will be chaos at any time, because frightened war horses are not controllable by ordinary people, not to mention that nearly two thousand war horses are tied next to trees, or placed in temporary stables, once the collective chaos, this is not fun.

"Let the brethren watch some of it, and don't make a mess! If the situation is out of control, let the brethren kill the horses!"

Zhuang Guang had to be ruthless, because once he was hit by dozens of frightened war horses, he didn't know how many casualties he would have to pay to make this situation stop.

There was a hint of reluctance on the faces of the others. But they themselves knew very well that such an order from Zhuang Guang was actually an arrangement made as a last resort.

......

At the rear of the fence, from time to time, the crossbowmen of the prisoner army were shot by the arrows of the Chu army, and some of the slightly wounded people were able to come to a safer place to be bandaged by themselves with the support of a heavy infantry holding a shield. But if someone is seriously injured or incapacitated, more people can only drag them to a safe place for treatment.

More arrowheads, stuck in the ground or on the planks of the fence. Many of the fences had already begun to burn, but in such a situation, the crossbowmen could not care so much.

They continued to shoot at the Chu army's crossbowmen, hoping to kill and injure the opponent more and reduce the number of long-range projections of the opponent.

In the prisoner army, or in the troops under Zhang Jiashi in the original Liaodong County, even a heavy infantry knew the use of various crossbows produced or installed by the Liaodong Military Factory. Therefore, unless the crossbow is damaged, in other cases, such as if the casualties are quite heavy, someone will pick up the crossbow that the dead and wounded have fallen and use it.

For a while, the long-range shooting capability of this camp was not too significantly weakened.

Although there are still unlucky prisoners and officers who are shot from time to time, it is more that the casualties paid by the Chu army are even more disastrous.

......

Although the crossbowmen of the Chu army also had the cover of shield bearers, under the influence of terrain factors, they could not allow themselves to shoot in a more protected environment when shooting upwards from below.

Unlike the heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army, the heavy infantry of the Chu Army under Liu Bang in many cases had more of a rudimentary plank in their hands than a regular shield. This is also the reason why the crossbowmen of the Prisoner Army are able to inflict more damage on their opponents with their attacks.

Because of this simple wooden plank, many times it does not have much effect on the strong crossbow made by the Liaodong soldiers.

Although the iron shield was heavy, in the hands of the also trained convicts, this weight was not the most important reason to make them abandon the means of survival.

What's more terrible is not in terms of equipment, but in the position comparison between the two sides, in terms of projectile efficiency, the Chu army's projectile can bring little damage, but for the prisoner army, once the opponent's crossbowmen are reloading or replenishing again, many people will be shot by the arrows falling from the sky.

In fact, there was another factor that had a great impact on the shooting efficiency of the Chu army, especially after the two sides had been firing for more than an hour, the sun gradually rising, making it difficult for the Chu army's crossbowmen to see clearly the attack targets located on the mountain.

The advantages and disadvantages between the two sides have become more and more apparent over time. Especially when the sun rose in the middle of the sky, most of the Chu crossbowmen could not effectively shoot at the target.

Because of the sun's rays, if these Chu army crossbowmen want to see the target clearly, they may be burned by the sun's eyes.

Zhang Liang knew such a situation, and in the case of a long-term attack, the "fire suppression" method that Fan Hao came up with was obviously bankrupt.

He had to suggest to Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, let's retreat temporarily, continuing to fight in such an environment will only make our people suffer more casualties in vain." ”

After Zhang Liang said this, he gently pointed to the sky with his finger.

When Liu Bang heard this, he also saw Zhang Liang's gesture, he sighed helplessly, and said to Ji Xin behind him: "Ji Xin, Mingjin should withdraw his troops." ”

Hearing Liu Bang's order, Ji Xin's expression was very calm, and after he made a promise, he came to a chime not far away and rang the bell.

Hearing the sound of the representative Mingjin withdrawing his troops, Fan Xu stomped his feet unwillingly, but he was not a stupid person, and on the premise that he could not attack for a long time, he made him realize that his arrangement had been a complete failure.

Looking at the battle situation in front of him and the wounded who were constantly being carried down, Fan Xu had an idea that they had probably lost the opportunity to capture this camp.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The retreat of the Chu army again gave the officers and soldiers of the prisoners, who were very physically exhausted, a respite.

For the time being, they did not lack water, even after more than an hour of rocket baptism, the utensils or cowhide bags used to hold water were not damaged too much.

But the entire inside of the camp was even stained with blood.

The bloodstains, which could be seen almost every other section, were caused by casualties and horses, while others were slain.

As Zhuang Guang said, they couldn't estimate that there were too many of these horses at such a time, so they could only adopt this way.

Some riders are reluctant to do so, but instead knock over or trample on horses that have lost control......

If you are knocked over, there may not be a big problem, but if you step on the horseshoe with a horseshoe, you will at least end up with an amputation and a cripple.

Zhuang Guang saw with his own eyes that a young man who was not too old was knocked over by a frightened war horse, and the front legs of the war horse stepped on the opponent's chest. Zhuang Guang didn't know the name of this young driver, because this driver was not a member of his command, but he knew that the other party should be a young man who had just joined in Liaodong County.

After using the throwing gun in his hand, instilling internal force, and throwing it through the head of this war horse, he walked to the side of the young driver, and after looking at the other party's injuries that even the iron armor pieces were sinking into his chest, he said softly: "Little guy, what I can do is to make you less painful." ”

Blood oozed from the nostrils and corners of the mouth, and after hearing Zhuang Guang's words, he opened his eyes lightly and nodded vigorously.

Zhuang Guang put his hand in front of the other party's heart, and then poured out his internal strength.

After a while, the young man's eyes were shining, and he was distracted by heart paralysis. Zhuang Guang gently closed the other party's eyelids and muttered, "Go all the way." ”

......

This scene is just a microcosm of this second battle. In this attack of the Chu army, the entire prisoner army paid more than 500 casualties, of which about 100 were casualties caused by those frightened and out-of-control war horses.

And after knowing such a situation, Zhuang Guang and Li Ping asked the living people to hurry up and eat something, rest for a while, and recover their strength after letting the people who died in the war gather together.

After gently biting a piece of wheat cake and taking a sip of water, Li Ping glanced at Zhuang Guang and a few other people, and said, "Lao Ji's luck is really bad, he was actually shot through by a crossbow and even the one with the leader......"

Lao Ji is a 500 lord under Li Ping, and he is reluctant to say his own affairs, but the people who joined the prisoner army just after its establishment, even in the battle of the Great Wall, are quite brave.

However, dying in this way in this place made everyone including Li Ping and Zhuang Guang silently stop the movements in their hands.

Although they are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of dying for Zhang Jiashi, it is difficult for them to accept this kind of battle death. Because they don't want to fall on this hill without seeing the light of hope......

"Captain, do you think we can hold out until General Wang and the others arrive?" said a five-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-year-old man.

After Li Ping and Zhuang Guang glanced at each other, Zhuang Guang shook his head: "I don't know, it's impossible to arrive in one day in sixty miles." But no matter what, we have to ......"

"Survive today! For the sake of Lord Lieutenant and the other brothers, we must live better. ”

After saying this, Zhuang Guang continued to lower his head, and then quickly put the bread in his hand into his mouth.

At this time, a panicked cry suddenly came from the west of the camp, attracting the attention of Zhuang Guang and the others.

After glancing at each other, Li Ping and Zhuang Guang said to the others: "You look at the other places, let's go over and see what is going on." ”

......

A few minutes later, they came to Zhuang Guang and Li Ping, who were on the west side of the camp, and saw a scene they could not imagine.

Hundreds of chariots and thousands of knights were rushing together to kill the Chu army troops who had not even completely stopped the formation, and were resisting in a panic.

And on some of these chariots, a slowly raised black background and white pattern Xuanbird flag was slowly raised......

After Li Ping and Zhuang Guang glanced at each other, they couldn't help but be able to see each other's surprise, because they knew very well that this was their reinforcement.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Cao Wuxian never thought that he would encounter such unfortunate things in his life.

At first, as a vanguard, he was easily defeated by a Qin army force he did not know. Then in the next Jiaxian attack, he lost too many soldiers and horses and was scolded by Liu Ji. If it weren't for the fact that he was also an old man in Pei County, I am afraid that he would be killed directly by Liu Ji.

Today, he can be regarded as a meritorious service to lead a troop around to the west of the Qin Dog camp. But it was clear that he was unlucky this time, and much more unlucky than yesterday.

In the initial battle, his troops suffered more than 2,000 casualties, which is why he did not cooperate with Fan Xu in the first place to start the second offensive.

And not long after the troops retreated, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a Qin Dog's chariot and knight troops actually appeared behind him.

All the troops under his command are infantry, how can he be good?

Before he could get his men to assemble a formation to resist the opponent's attack, the opponent rushed straight like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Cao Wu regretted a little in his heart, why did he come to this hellish place with Liu Bang......

......

Nangong Qi naturally didn't know what Cao Wuxian's heart was, for him, this Chu army was his enemy.

He didn't know much about the situation on the mountain, but he knew from the scout's investigation that the camp on that hill might not last long.

That's why he ordered the troops to rest and then went straight to the battlefield.

Although Nangong was not a famous general, as a military family, his ancestor was Nangong Changwan, a fierce general of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Nangong Qi knew very well what he should do.

He personally commanded his knights, and then behind the light charioters who were used to charge at the opposing side, he was responsible for further crushing the opposing troops.

Although a small number of the light chariots he brought this time were crossbow chariots equipped by the Liaodong Army, most of them were the remnants of the Northern Xinjiang Army and the light chariot corps of the Beidi County Army.

So it's still possible to do this kind of rush.

In this kind of terrain, which is no different from the plains, the impact of the light chariot soldiers makes the opponent's barely concentrated troops almost powerless to fight back.

The thousands of knights who followed the light chariot troops who rushed to kill each other in a few rows were facing some Chu soldiers who had lost their command at all.

Many of those who dared to resist fell to the ground.

And some of those who were still standing became the targets of their hunting.

"Kill, !!"

Thousands of knights, if used to attack the infantry formation that had already been assembled, would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Such a situation, Nangong period is naturally very clear. But in the face of such an enemy, which was not even organized resistance, it became a complete one-sided slaughter.

Nangong Qi didn't know how many Chu officers and soldiers had been pierced by the long beryllium in his hand, he only knew that what he had to do was to directly defeat this force.

Nangong Period, who was still rushing to kill, didn't know that the commander of this army had already run away......

......

For Cao Wuxian, although he hated these Qin dogs so much, but in the case that the situation was irretrievable, Cao Wuxian thought most about how to live.

So Cao ran away without injury.

But Cao Wuxian, who was in a panic, chose a path of no return.

Li Ping, Zhuang Guang and the others on the mountain saw a group of Chu army knights actually fleeing along the foot of the mountain, didn't they know that those Chu army corpses even farther away showed that this position was within their effective attack range?

However, since the other party wanted to send them to death so much, Li Ping and Zhuang Guang were naturally willing to give them a ride: "Brothers, get ready!"

......

Cao Wushu wanted to leave quickly, but suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his thigh, and he was about to bow his head to see what was going on, but he felt his mount fall to the ground.

He wanted to jump off the horse, but as soon as he moved his thigh, he felt the sharp pain spread through his heart, and then, his head hit the ground directly, and he fainted......

......

Li Ping shook his head helplessly, then looked at Zhuang Guang who was smiling beside him, and said helplessly: "Missed for a while, can't you?"

The arrow he shot just now missed, but he nailed the thigh that should be the general of the Chu army to the belly of the horse, if Zhuang Guang hadn't shot an arrow and shot the opponent's mount, maybe he might have let the other party run away.

...
