Chapter 572: The Coalition Vanguard Dies

Not only are there few soldiers left in the coalition army, but even the vanguard general of the coalition army is looking at this scene in front of him, and his heart is full of despair.

But now that it's here, what else can be done?

Do you want to turn around again? The few remaining troops are simply not enough to bypass a mountain, not to mention, as soon as the coalition forces on this side move, the Qin army on that side will only move faster.

Turn, it will only make the army die faster and more completely!

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to muster up the last intentions, rush to the pass of the mountains and rivers, and fight a bloody way under the siege of the Qin army. It's just that, looking at the well-organized Qin army, attacking the cavalry with foot soldiers, I know how ridiculous this is with my toes.

But for today's coalition vanguard army, there is no other way!

The only good news was that the coalition forces were less than a mile away from the mountain pass. Although it is not instantaneous, at least there is still a glimmer of life.

In the blink of an instant, the commander of the coalition army has already made a decision in his heart - kill the past, gather all the troops, and kill the past at full speed!

It's just that in order to have enough combat power to deal with the Qin army, the main general must first solve the problem of morale.

"Soldiers, our way of life is only in the mountains and rivers behind the cavalry, and we will go with this general." The commander of the coalition roared and ordered the soldiers: "Change the round formation into a sharp arrow formation, I am the sharp arrow, and the kings will rush with me!" ”

As he spoke, the main general didn't care about anything else, drew the sword at his waist, whipped the war horse under his crotch fiercely, and then rushed towards the mountain and river pass with his own soldiers.

Under the leadership of the commander, the morale of the coalition army has also recovered slightly, especially the commander who took the lead in the charge, which obviously gave the coalition soldiers a shot in the arm. Immediately, the allied soldiers changed their formations again, trying to change the circle formation into a sharp arrow formation suitable for impact.

It's just that the battle is up to this point.

This battle formation is not something you want to change, you can change if you want to.

The Qin army on the side is not a vegetarian, they are waiting for the moment when you open the circle array!

Without the slightest hesitation, let alone an order, the cavalry of the Qin army had already rushed in the moment when the coalition army changed formation.

The coalition front had been disrupted by itself, and even with the chariots trying their best to delay, they still couldn't stop the invasion of the Qin cavalry. Thus, in a very short period of time, what was originally a piecemeal siege turned into a one-sided and wanton massacre.

Among the officers and men of the coalition army, except for a very small number of them who followed in the footsteps of their main generals, many more soldiers, and even the soldiers of the vast majority of the army, were left behind.

Either they were surrounded and suppressed by the cavalry of the Qin army on the spot, or they were pursued and shot by the Qin army on the way to follow the advance.

Looking at the figure of the main general who was gradually moving away, but the appearance of the Qin army was gradually surrounding in front of him, the hearts of the soldiers of the coalition army were instantly filled with despair.

It's just that, what they don't know is that they have done their job well.

At the very least, it was the task that their lord wanted them to accomplish - to use their lives to delay the pace of the besieging Qin army and create the possibility of breaking through for him and his own soldiers.

Of course, this does not blame the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces!

This may be the only way to avoid total annihilation. Those who can keep up naturally have a glimmer of life, and those who can't keep up have no way.

At a distance of less than a mile, the war horse galloped wildly, and it didn't take long at all.

Soon, the vanguard of the coalition army, with his own guards and the elite of the coalition army who followed him, formed a sharp arrow formation and rushed towards the direction of the mountain and river pass.

And all this happened too suddenly, and the Qin army under the mountain pass was also a little caught off guard.

With the belief that they would die, the last elite of the coalition vanguard launched a final charge against the stunned Qin army. There is not the slightest skill, only a desperate punch and a lunge.

It was precisely under this disregard for life and death and surprise that the originally strict formation was really hit by the coalition forces and rushed out of a gap.

It's just that soon, the Qin army, who reacted, immediately made adjustments and blocked the gap in time.

It's just such a momentary opportunity, but it is enough to rush to the forefront of the main general.

Although the soldiers who followed him out of the encirclement were less than a hundred.

In other words, more than 20,000 people were ruthlessly discarded on the periphery of Zhou Wangji, and what awaited them was only the ruthless long sword of the Qin army.

traveled all the way through the mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles, but in exchange for a life, they couldn't even take a look at what Luodu of the Zhou Dynasty looked like who was fighting for!

Of course, the people of the Zhou royal family who had just been snatched from the Qin army also fell into the hands of the Qin army. The grandson of the king, who was originally high, turned his hands in the armies of various countries like goods, and even life and death were not in his hands.

The vanguard general of the coalition army, who was also born in the aristocracy, was not much better at this time. Even though he has escaped into the mountains and forests, he still does not dare to be careless.

Although there are still thousands of people fighting against the Qin army in the mountains and rivers passes.

But in General Jing's heart, these thousand people are no different from the ten thousand people just now, and they are still just victims of attracting the attention of the Qin army.

Rescue? That's impossible.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army would not be able to spare his hands for a while, General Jing took the remaining more than 100 personal soldiers and almost did not look back to the depths of the mountains and forests.

Compared with the princes and nobles who were downcast but could still save their lives, the fate of the soldiers from the bottom of the people was even more tragic.

The chief who led the fishing team had long since lost his sights, and his younger brother, who was hiding by the autumn pond, was gritting his teeth, freezing and choking tears, staring at the camp in the distance, looking forward to his brother's arrival.

It's a pity......

The vanguard army of 20,000 coalition troops, in this way, almost completely disappeared from this land in less than two hours, and the loss of the Qin army was only 2,000 people.

The 10-to-1 battle loss ratio not only shortened the already small gap between the two armies, but more importantly, the Qin army once again showed its almost invincible combat power in front of the coalition forces.

This was an almost devastating blow to the combat confidence and morale of the officers and men of the coalition forces.

And all of this could have been avoided.

In fact, just when the commander-in-chief of the coalition army decided to turn the round formation into a sharp arrow formation and completely abandon the army, the heralds who asked for help had already rushed to the main camp of the coalition army......

Coincidentally, not only the main generals of Wei, Han, and Chu were discussing in the camp, but even General Zhao Guolianpo, who camped independently, also appeared in the camp tent rarely.

The scouts who hurriedly rushed to the promised immediately made a detailed report to several generals: "The vanguard camp is about twenty miles away from the city of Wangji of Zhou, and it encountered the cavalry of the Qin army. In order to protect the people of the Zhou royal family, our army camped on the spot and waited for the general to lead the main force to arrive, but the Qin army was the one who robbed the Zhou royal family, regardless of the fatigue of the division and veterans, and brazenly launched an attack on our army. Please send reinforcements to the general quickly, so that the inside and outside should join forces to destroy the Qin army! ”

Obviously, the scout who returned was a native of the Chu State. Although most of the words are in line with reality, there is no lack of processing.

The obvious luck and decision-making mistakes of camping on the spot have been described as protecting the people of the Zhou royal family;

The Qin army, which dared to launch an offensive and did not see any decline in combat effectiveness, was described as a veteran of the division; 33

Even asking for help was not to save lives, but to eliminate the Qin army from inside and outside.

It's really a good thing for you to take advantage of.

The generals who heard this, including Xin Lingjun and Lian Po, could not understand the incompleteness in this report, but in the face of such a powerful opponent as the Qin army, they were still playing this kind of thing, which was really a little speechless. I couldn't help but frown at all the generals present.

It's just that the above problems are not the biggest problem, but more importantly, and they are intolerable to the generals, but they are still a problem of distance.

You said that the veterans of the Qin army were tired, how could they lead their troops to drive twenty miles to fight you after the war? You must know that once these twenty miles are finished, less than ten miles later, it will be the main camp of the coalition army.

Here, the coalition forces have actually been stationed for days without moving a nest.

With the ability of the Qin army, how could he not know where his main force was. Now that he knows, how can he start a desperate battle more than 20 miles away from his own main force and less than ten miles away from his main force?

The only possibility, and that is that the location of the battle has been artificially modified.

I am afraid that the actual place of the war should not even be ten miles away from Luodu, and only at such a close distance will the Qin army have the confidence to destroy this hateful vanguard army before the main force of the coalition army arrives.

It is ten miles away from Zhou Wangji, that is, about twenty miles away from his main army.

The main force of our army has just set up camp again, if we go to reinforcements with a large army, can we have time to say otherwise, just like this, the exhausted army meets the Qin army and can win is still a matter of two words, although the consumption of the Qin army is even worse.

But if it doesn't help?

Xinlingjun glanced at General Han Zhiguo, who heard the news, and was afraid that if he didn't save him, the first person who didn't agree would be that person. The truth of cold lips and teeth, the generals of Han Zhiguo must also understand.

Coupled with the generals of the Chu State, the two main generals had to stay away quietly, and this alliance was dissolved.

Therefore, to save, is it necessary to save? At least the rescue action should be shown, just knowing that there is an ambush ahead, and jumping forward vigorously, that is what a fool does.

Xinlingjun needs to find a way to get by on the bright side and achieve the best of both worlds without losing the army.

Immediately, Xin Lingjun patted his head violently, I haven't figured out such a simple trick, I really shouldn't have figured it out!

Xinling Jun, who had figured it out, waved his sleeves and immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready, and the reinforcements of the general's front army are as soon as possible!" ”

"No!" All the soldiers, including the generals of South Korea, responded one by one.

Some people died, but not completely......
