Chapter 215: Ambush
Xiang Rong got his father's arrangement and waited for several days in the west of Juyang.
Li Xin bypassed the first line of defense, sneaked into the second line of defense, and went deep alone, Xiang Rong and they had already found out clearly, and predicted all of Li Xin's predictions.
Everyone felt that this battle was definitely won.
This is one of the few battles they can win against Qin.
Xiang Rong attached great importance to this, and constantly sent scouts to inquire about the movements of the Qin army, and learned that the Qin army had taken Juyang, and he prepared an ambush nearby three days in advance, and then found that the Qin army's scouts went west to explore the way, and ordered them all to be killed.
In doing so, he can create panic for Li Xin, find out that there is a problem ahead, and then go back in the direction of Juyang, because it is relatively safe to return to the city outside the city.
As early as when Li Xin left Juyang, Xiang Rong arranged for a group of people to bypass the Qin army and wait on the way back to Juyang.
When the time comes, he will launch an attack, which can effectively disrupt Li Xin's troops, so as to encircle and hunt.
"General, Li Xin is here!"
At this moment, a short soldier walked back and said.
Xiang Rong said loudly: "Do it!" ”
The soldiers of the Chu army were also full of resentment towards the Qin State, and when they heard that they could do it, they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the army was quickly assembled, and directly ambushed Li Xin's Qin army, first using arrows from a distance, killing the Qin army, and then killing the 80,000 Chu army at the same time.
The Qin army, which was as powerful as a rainbow and invincible in the past, was afraid of the surprise attack of the Chu army at this time, and began to fall into a panic, and many people were killed in an instant.
Xiang Rong walked out of the army, holding a knife in his hand, and constantly passed down orders, directing the Chu army to fight.
Li Xin still had hope at first, preferably a small part of the Chu army, occasionally passing by here, and at this time, seeing a large number of Chu troops coming out of the nearby ambush, he understood that what he hoped for would all turn into despair.
"How could Xiang Yan see through my plan?"
Li Xin couldn't believe that his plan would be seen through!
This is definitely the deadliest.
So what he did was actually deliberately arranged by Xiang Yan, including defeating the second line of defense, inducing him to swell his self-confidence, and then making all kinds of ambushes and preparations, and now is the beginning of the Chu army's real counterattack.
He went deep into the vicinity of Shouchun and fell into an ambush by the Chu army, and the consequences were serious.
There is also Meng Tian, but I am afraid that he is on his way to the city father now.
Inside the city father, there must be all kinds of traps waiting for you.
Li Xin regretted it, he shouldn't be inflated, he shouldn't be overconfident, and hurriedly shouted: "All the captains, integrate your subordinates, break through the siege first, and go back to Juyang immediately!" ”
The lieutenants under him were also a little confused at this time, but they still integrated the whole army as soon as possible.
Although the Qin army was in chaos, the military orders were still very strict.
Soon after they were integrated, their morale was partially restored, and they began to kill the enemy in an orderly manner, and under the leadership of the main general and the various captains, they broke through.
Xiang Rong saw the situation in the battle situation, and sighed in his heart that the overall strength of the Qin army was still too much stronger than the Chu army, so it could also be integrated.
Seeing that the Qin army wanted to break through, he passed down a military order, telling the encircled Chu army not to deliberately intercept it, and let them escape first.
This batch of Chu troops has a total of 120,000.
On the current battlefield, there are only 80,000 people, and the remaining 40,000 are ambushing in the direction of Juyang, and he arranged for another 10,000 people to take the first step to recover Juyang and completely cut off Li Xin's retreat.
Li Xin didn't know that there was no way to retreat, maybe it was the first time he was leading the troops as the main general, and he was inexperienced, so he couldn't imagine that since the Chu army could ambush here, it would be impossible for him to retreat to Juyang again.
"Let's go!"
All he wanted to do now was to get his troops out as soon as possible, escape from the trap and encirclement, return to the city, and defend the city.
However, not long after walking back, there were also rows of sharp arrows shooting out on the roads on both sides of the road.
The Qin army, which retreated in a hurry, did not expect that there was still an ambush, and there was no defense at all, and a large number of them suddenly fell.
"General, there is an ambush ahead!"
Captain Yu said anxiously.
The sharp arrows in front of you continue to shoot fast.
The troops of the Qin army had to stop first, and with great difficulty, they were once again disrupted by the Chu army, and the shield bearer raised his shield indiscriminately and intercepted some of the sharp arrows that were fired.
The Chu army ambush on the retreat road just appeared, and Xiang Rong in the back also led the troops to chase and kill.
The Qin army was caught in a flank.
"Steady!"
Li Xin saw that he couldn't escape, so he could only command and fight with the Chu army.
It's a pity that the Iron Eagle Warrior is not under his management.
Otherwise, it can also make Rui Shi fight a bloody way to boost morale.
When Li Xin commanded the resistance, Xiang Rong was also directing the attack, and the two sides fought more and more fiercely.
In the end, the Qin army, which was ambushed, was defeated by the Chu army, and the idea of returning to Juyang was completely defeated.
Li Xin glanced around, only the encirclement in the north was the emptiest, and said, "Break through to the north!" ”
After breaking through from the north, he believed that there were two ways out.
The first is to go back to find Meng Tian and retreat to Huaiyang.
The second is that Meng Tian is also defeated, or Xiang Yan does not give him a return to Huaiyang, he can enter the former Wei State, the current Qin State, and maybe escape.
"I hope Meng Tian is okay!"
Li Xinli can only think like this, there is no way to contact Meng Tian now, and he doesn't know what Meng Tian's situation is.
He couldn't protect himself.
The encirclement in the north is indeed relatively empty, but it is also deliberately vacant by Xiang Rong, and when Li Xin breaks through and kills out, Li Xin also kills it easily, and runs away to the north at full speed, leaving here first.
"Chase!"
Xiang Rong ordered.
The Qin army fled into the wilderness, and the Chu army pursued them relentlessly.
Li Xin said: "Come on, break off!" ”
A lieutenant led the troops to turn around and shoot the pursuers with a bow and crossbow, suppressing the Chu army to a temporary standstill, and then keeping up with Li Xin's large army.
Xiang Rong understood Li Xin's thoughts, and deliberately asked people not to follow too closely, creating an illusion for Qin Jun that he could escape.
Li Xin really felt that he could escape, and his previous self-confidence and expansion had now all turned into the motivation to escape, and he was thinking that as long as I was allowed to escape back, I must bring my troops back again and sweep the Chu State again.
He also had to capture Xiang Yan alive and avenge today's revenge.
But when he was almost gone, he was shot with an arrow in front of him.
Li Xin walked in the forefront, as the leader of the team to lead the troops to escape, suddenly saw a sharp arrow shooting, and hurriedly waved his knife to block it, but the horse sitting down fell because of the arrow, let out a mournful roar.
"There's an ambush ahead!"
The level of panic of the Qin army increased by several points at this time.
Li Xin's whole body was numb.
How could there be so many ambushes in his meow's Chu army, one after another, one after another.
It's really going to kill them.
"The Chu army behind has caught up!"
The Qin army continued to panic.
Li Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Fight with them, kill!" ”
To this extent, he can't continue to be protected by short soldiers, but he just commands, and he must draw his sword out of the sheath and go up to kill the enemy in person, so that he can boost morale and increase the possibility of breaking through.
