Chapter Seventy-Seven: Surround Liu Bang's Army
When Liu Bang's 70,000-strong army was desperately rushing forward, Li Xin led 3,000 knights to the flank, and Zhou Bo immediately ordered the archers to shoot
Unbeknownst to him, the thousands of cavalry led by Li Xin put their bodies on the horse's neck, and held the bow and crossbow in one hand against the horse's body and shot at the approaching Liu Bang archers
"Woooo
"Woooo
The arrows of the two armies came and went, and each had its own losses, but the cavalry led by Li Xin was attached to the body of the horse, and there were very few knights with arrows, but many from the horses. Fortunately, half of the horses were equipped with iron armor, and the overall losses were not very large
But Liu Bangjun's archers were not comfortable, facing the rain of arrows of the Qin army, but there was no better protection, and one after another fell to the ground
After enduring three waves of arrow rain, Li Xin's cavalry also happened to come into contact with Liu Bang's army
Such a well-equipped elite cavalry broke into the infantry army... It was like a flock of tigers entering the flock
Nearly 3,000 elite cavalry, under the leadership of Li Xin, were like a sharp arrow, quickly dividing Liu Bang's 70,000 army into two, preventing his army from rushing forward
In less than a minute, Liu Bang's army suffered heavy losses, and was killed by this group of cavalry on the spot
Li Xin held a halberd in his hand, wearing a golden armor and red cloak, as if a god descended from the heavens, and between the swings of the halberd, two or three red-clothed soldiers fell in a pool of blood...
It's too fierce! Seeing that the main general was so violent, the thousands of black-armored knights behind him were immediately inspired to be bloody, and they all waved their long swords with blood-red eyes, and they all went forward to kill the place where the enemy army was most concentrated
It seems that the Qin knight no longer knows what death is, and in his eyes there is nothing but killing or killing...
And Liu Bang's army of 70,000 was killed in front of this elite and bloody cavalry of less than 3,000 cavalry...
"Ahhh.......h
"Ahhh........h
.......
Liu Bang's army was already in chaos, and was trying to find a way to surround and eat the Qin cavalry that had rushed into the army, when there was a shout of killing from all directions
Looking widely, I saw that countless black and oppressive Qin troops rushed out of the two wings of the army, and on closer inspection, there were no less than fifty or sixty thousand
In a few breaths, the infantry of the Qin army on both wings had approached Liu Bang's army and had the potential to surround it
At this time, Hu Qing, who was in the rear of Liu Bang's army, saw that the time had come, and shouted: "Soldiers of the Qin army, God bless me Daqin!" General Li Xin has sent a large army to surround Liu Bang, and we will not help Qin at this time, but when? ”
The more than 10,000 Qin troops who had already surrendered to Liu Bang changed their faces after hearing this, listening to Hu Qing's meaning, they only surrendered to Liu Bang in the morning, and they would have to turn back again in the afternoon?
Hu Qing continued to shout: "Listen to my orders!" Wrap your left arm with a strip of cloth to distinguish Liu Bangjun, and kill all the enemy soldiers with me!! ”
As he spoke, Hu Qing drew his long sword, cut off a piece of robe, and wrapped it around his left arm
Then he turned to look at the surrendering army, and when the surrendering army saw that the main general said the opposite, how dare he delay, and cut off his robe with a gritted tooth and tied it to his left arm
After such an operation, although the army was wearing the same clothes as Liu Bangjun, it was clearly distinguishable, so as not to cut the wrong person
And the real Liu Bangjun was being frightened by the tens of thousands of Qin troops that suddenly appeared again, and he didn't react to the operation of Hu Qing's army in the rear at all
Hu Qing shouted: "Kill!" Cooperate with my main Qin army to kill all the thieves!! ”
Another horse rushed into the red camp first, and when he saw someone who did not have a scarf on his left arm, he cut it down, and five or six people were cut to the ground by Hu Qing in two breaths
After seeing the surrendering army behind him, the stimulated eyes began to turn red, and they all raised their spears and swords, and rushed to the surrounding Liu Bang army to kill people when they saw them...
At this time, Liu Bang, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others in front of the army were all covered in cold sweat, in this case, how could his uncle's Qin army only have seventy or eighty thousand people? I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 people
"Newspaper... The Qin Fu army on both flanks of our army has been fighting with our army! ”
Liu Bang wiped the sweat on his head and said, "How many people?" ”
"Report to the Lord! It is estimated that there are more than 50,000 horses! ”
Liu Bang sat on the ground after hearing this
"Newspaper... Lord, Hu Qing's army in the rear suddenly counterjudged and was killing in front of our army! ”
"What? Hu Qing is also reversed? ”
Zhang Liang and Xiao He were shocked when they heard this, and it was only at this moment that they finally understood that everything was planned... Hu Qing surrendered, He Yutai withdrew his troops, and led Liu Bang's entire army into the pass to ambush...
A few people only felt dizzy, but they didn't expect to pass all the way, and the schemes continued, and they didn't expect to be planted under Xianyang City...
"Newspaper... Lord, the Qin army on both wings and the judgment army in the rear have completely surrounded our army, our army has suffered heavy losses, and the cavalry of the Qin army is rushing in the direction of the lord..."
Liu Bang sat on the ground and his heart beat faster, and he hurriedly stood up, nothing was as important as his own life
Liu Bang came to Zhang Liang's strategists and said in a deep voice: "Ofan, Xiao He, let's retreat." The tide is gone, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid all of me will have to stay here. ”
Xiao He stomped his feet unwillingly: "Lord, the 20,000 cavalry led by Cao Shen is still ahead, if you wait for Cao Shen to annihilate the Qin army he encountered, turn his head, our army may not be able to fight!" At this time, the lord retreated, then our army was in turmoil, and the lord could not bear to see the soldiers sacrifice in vain? ”
Liu Bang stopped doing it and roared: "The Qin army in this pass is too cunning, do you think the other party didn't count Cao Shen's 20,000 cavalry?" I'm afraid it's more than lucky... Woooooo
Saying that, Liu Bang wiped the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help crying
Zhang Liang ignored the two of them, standing in the carriage and watching the chaotic battle situation behind him.
It's okay not to look at this, but when I look at it, I see that the Qin army and the surrender army on the back, left and right are like three sickles, and they are quickly harvesting their own army
And the three thousand Qin cavalry that had been surrounded by Liu Bang's army just now, when the three-sided Qin army completely surrounded Liu Bang's army, the pressure was greatly reduced!
That Qin cavalry was like a poisonous snake in its stomach at this time, quickly hollowing out Liu Bang's army inside...
It's terrible, it's a one-sided war. In less than an hour, I am afraid that the more than 50,000 troops led by Liu Bang will be completely annihilated
Zhang Liang's brain was spinning rapidly, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he came to Liu Bang and the others, and said calmly: "Lord, Brother Xiao, today's situation is the ovary, and I miscalculated." I shouldn't have let my lord enter the customs in a hurry without knowing it. ”
"Now the situation is critical, the road for the army to withdraw has been blocked, lord, Brother Xiao, you hurry up and bring a cavalry to quickly break through, as long as you get to the pass, retreat to the land of Bashu, and fight with the Qin army again in the future..."
Liu Bang stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Liang's arms with both hands and said, "Good brother, what's the use of talking about this now?" It's not your idea to march into Guanzhong alone. Let's go together, stay in the green mountains, wait for me to go back and reorganize the drums, and then fight with the Qin army in the future! ”
Zhang Liang opened Liu Bang's hands, sighed sideways and said, "Lord, I can't go." If I leave, the will of our army will collapse in an instant, and it will be even more difficult for the lord to escape from Guanzhong. ”
"I will lead the remaining army to entangle the Qin army and give the lord time to escape..."
