Chapter 600: Goodbye Zhao Jun before drawing water
The power of example is always endless.
As Xinlingjun led more than 10,000 soldiers around him to open up a channel of life for the follow-up Wei army, more and more Wei troops who had just lost their armor actually took the initiative to enter the battle.
The longbow and arrows that had just been discarded by himself were salvaged from the water, and then under the organization of their respective captains, the division of labor clearly began to suppress the Qin army.
Of course, their strength is weak, and the speed of the personnel responsible for collecting arrows is far from keeping up with the speed of arrow consumption, and even the salvage personnel are in danger of being shot by the Qin army.
However, I have to admit that just such a weak and powerless counterattack is an invisible boost to the morale of the entire Wei army.
Actually, the psychology of the warrior is very simple.
As long as you treat them as human beings, they will lift you up in the air.
Soon, under the joint suppression of the Wei army crossing the river, the Qin army had to resort to mobile defense to reduce losses. There are also more and more Wei troops who naturally crossed the water draw.
What surprised Xinlingjun even more was that many Wei troops did not give up their bows and arrows when crossing the river like the previous soldiers.
Obviously, they also wanted to open up a passage of life for their later comrades after crossing the river.
One more longbow, one more arrow, maybe one more comrade out of danger.
The good and evil of the human heart are like this, which seems to be unpredictable, but it is the easiest to control.
Xinling Jun simply gave an order, calmly sitting on the high-headed horse, but it changed the mentality of the entire Wei army.
Just now, he was glad that he ran faster than his comrades, but the next moment he was shooting arrows with a bow for his comrades, and even covered his comrades with his own lives.
It's a pity that the change of Xinlingjun seems to have come too slowly!
If he could have met the Qin army decisively earlier, he might have more soldiers and horses rushing through the water, after all, the approaching team of the Qin army seemed to be fierce, but in fact it was only more than 20,000 people;
If it could have been earlier, it might not have been able to hold the camp, after all, the strength of the Qin army had also been divided into tens of thousands, and there was actually not much advantage over the Wei and Chu coalition forces.
If it can be earlier, don't think about fighting with the Qin army, maybe the Four-Power Alliance will not have any chance of winning against the Qin army.
Of course, it's too late to say that.
Wang Di's foot soldiers finally came to the battlefield slowly after several rounds of archery from the Wei army.
Seeing that the Wei army was constantly relying on the suppression of the opposite bank and slowly fleeing towards the water, Wang Yi immediately adjusted his tactics.
The 30,000-strong army was divided into left and right sides, and while completely encircling the Wei army, it moved along the south bank of Jishui.
And the main force of this 30,000-strong army is not on the side, it is the archers and shield soldiers. Their goal is very clear, that is, to regain the "air supremacy" of the battlefield and suppress the Wei archers on the north bank of the water.
With such a large-scale action of the Qin army, it was naturally impossible for Xinling Jun not to notice it.
Xin Lingjun knew in his heart that once the Qin army's foot soldiers completed the penetration again, it would not only completely block the door for the Wei army on the south bank to escape, but also bring a fatal blow to himself who had fled to the north bank. The Qin army's strong attack on the hard crossbow was no joke.
It is obviously unrealistic and irrational to shoot against tens of thousands of archers of the Qin army with thousands of archers of their own mere thousands of archers.
looked at the Wei army that had crossed the water, and estimated that there were probably less than 25,000 people, and Xin Lingjun also sighed in his heart.
But Shinling-kun understands that it's time to withdraw!
If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep 25,000 people in a row.
"Gather the remnants of the troops and evacuate first." Shinling-kun's order was immediately issued.
Soon, the Wei army, which had lost its armor, was gathered together, and then under the leadership of a captain, it rushed towards the north further north.
"Triple shot!" Xin Lingjun looked at the Wei army who was already on the way, and then shouted to the archers beside him, "Block the route of the Qin army."
"Yes." The lieutenant in charge of the archers on the side immediately agreed
。
Soon, three arrows, almost head-to-tail, shot straight into the formation of the Qin army, which had not yet established a firm foothold. It's a pity that the Qin army seems to have been prepared for this, and the shields were erected almost at the same time as the soldiers arrived.
Only the sound of "clanging" was heard constantly resounding on the shield, but the losses of the Qin army were minimal.
Fortunately, the purpose of Xinlingjun's three consecutive shots was not to cause any big damage to the Qin army.
"Withdraw!" At the moment when the third arrow was issued, Xinlingjun's order followed.
In fact, everyone also knows that when the infantry of the Qin army was inserted into the south bank, the comrades who were still on the south bank were completely hopeless, and naturally the order of Xinling Jun was also expected.
One last glance at his comrades who were still struggling under the sword of the Qin army, Xin Lingjun turned his horse's head hard, and then fled towards the north further north with Da Xu.
"General, are our troops pursuing?" Looking at the figure of the Wei army leaving on the north bank of Jishui, an unwilling general immediately asked Wang Di for his life.
Hearing this, Wang Yi shook his head helplessly.
How willing could he be! Although only a small part of the Wei army escaped, there were more than 20,000 people!
The layout was normal at a normal time, but even the Wei army was not completely annihilated, how could he be willing as the commander of the army.
However, there is no way to be unwilling!
Crossing the river and attacking, not to mention whether it can catch up with the Wei army, even if it catches up, such a rout battle is bound to last for a long time, and the other side of the water is in the territory of Zhao State!
God knows if a Zhao army will emerge from which corner, and it doesn't even need too many troops, thousands, or tens of thousands at most, after your own forces are deployed, you can give yourself a look from the flank, and you have to peel off your skin even if you don't die!
It's easy to get through, but it's hard to come back!
Such a thing that obviously outweighs the loss, Wang Yi naturally can't do it. It's better to hurry up and eat the Wei army in front of you, and go to join Meng Fu as soon as possible.
Immediately, Wang Di gave the order to deliver the final blow to the Wei army in the encirclement.
In fact, there is no need for Wang Yi to give more orders, with the withdrawal of Xinling Jun on the north bank of Jishui, the Wei army still on the south bank has completely lost its fighting spirit, and almost like a walking corpse, relying on its own subconscious to counterattack the Qin army.
The Wei army, which was not strong in combat, was almost a group of lambs to the slaughter after losing its last fighting spirit.
Between the hands and the swords, countless Wei soldiers had already been separated.
Without the bows and arrows on the north bank of the water, the cavalry of the Qin army immediately entrusted the task of encirclement to the infantry sent by Wang Di, and then a column of cavalry rushed towards the precarious front of the Wei army.
Without any resistance, the Qin cavalry's cut was even smoother than that of Nadev. In a short period of time, the remaining Wei army was divided into several pieces by the cavalry of the Qin army.
The foot soldiers who cooperated with the tacit understanding also immediately took neat steps and began to encircle and suppress the Wei army in the encirclement one by one.
The battle has completely lost any suspense, and there is no force on the entire battlefield that can rescue the remaining Wei army.
The army of Chu has been besieged in the city of Negative Huang, and it is about to be annihilated;
And the Zhao army was divided early, and the first foot soldiers had even arrived in Yicheng, and were repairing under the leadership of the guard Zhou Qi. The other two cavalry that had set off in advance had also quietly crossed the Jishui River and were heading in the direction of Yicheng.
Just when the Qin army's nearly 100,000 troops surrounded and annihilated the last 30,000 troops of the Wei army, Meng Fu finally saw the figure of the Zhao army in the distance on the galloping warhorse.
didn't have time to be happy, Meng Fu suddenly found that the Jishui River was also in front of him.
Looking at the waves that were constantly stirring up in the Jishui River in the distance, Meng Fu didn't know that Zhao Jun had begun to cross the river.
Immediately, Meng Fu was about to order the whole army to sprint forward, saying that he had to tear off a piece of meat on Zhao Jun's thigh, otherwise he would be sorry for his pursuit all the way, and even more sorry for General Wang Yu for deliberately letting himself go
to this location.
But at the moment when Meng Fu wanted to pass the order, the ghost made a mistake, and Meng Fu glanced at the direction of Zhao Jun again.
Just this glance, but he held the words in his throat vividly.
I saw that at the end of the Zhao army's formation in the distance, a team of no more than a few thousand people was actually facing the direction of their own advance. Not only that, but looking at the formation it poses, it is also an impact formation of the triangle used for attack!
Zhao Jun wants to attack himself?!
Meng Fu only felt that it was quite incredible, his Qin army's cavalry was indeed slightly weaker than the Zhao army, but the difference was only a millimeter.
And under his command, there are now 50,000 troops, which is more than ten times the enemy in front of him. Where did the opponent get the courage to attack himself with a mere few thousands?
However, just when Meng Fu was surprised, Zhao Jun in the distance moved.
At the forefront of the Zhao army, a veteran with a white beard raised the spear in his hand high and shouted, "Kill!"
After saying that, his body bowed slightly, his spear was flat, and he actually rushed in the direction of Meng Fu in the first place.
In the slight breeze, the long beard fluttered, and the morning sun shone down, dyeing the gray hair with a sacred gold.
Dressed like this, among Zhao Jun, there is no one besides Lian Po!
Behind him, thousands of cavalry of the Zhao army also moved when they heard the order, and they killed Meng Fu in a mighty manner.
A stunned expression flashed across Meng Fu's face, replaced by a burst of excitement. Obviously, in Meng Fu's eyes, the value of an incorruptible is far above the 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry of the Zhao army.
"Since Lian Po wants to find death, it's no wonder that the juniors are there." Meng Fu said slightly ruthlessly in his heart.
"10,000 cavalry troops on each flank on the left and right flanks immediately rushed forward and outflanked the enemy's rear!" Meng Fu's order was also quickly issued: "The rest of the armies, in a fish-scale formation, I will eat all this Zhao army."
"Yes." Several lieutenants around him immediately received the order.
As the horn sounded, the cavalry of the Qin army also quickly began to change formations.
The Sharp Arrow Array, which was originally conducive to pursuit, quickly turned into a layer of fortified fish scale array, and a tentacle stretched out on the left and right sides, as if they were about to embrace the attacking Zhao army.
Although the speed of the Qin army's march inevitably slowed down a lot under such a change, it bought a certain amount of time for the main force of the Zhao army to cross the river.
But everyone knows that once they are surrounded by the Qin army, this cavalry of the Zhao army, which only has more than 3,000 people, will only be annihilated.
However, these 3,000 Zhao troops still followed General Lian Po and rushed to the enemy formation without hesitation.
Is it that they are not afraid of death?
Obviously not, why should you die if you can live.
The reason is simple, they believe in their Lian Po general! I believe that General Lian Po will not take them to death.
With the unwarranted trust of the soldiers, it made Lian Po spend a lot of saliva, and it also allowed Lian Po to command this army like a finger.
The sprint continues......
