Chapter 219: The Courage of the Qin Army

"You're here!"

Xiang Liang was overjoyed when he saw the fire near the Qin camp, and his plan was finally going to succeed, and he ordered: "Get out of the city and kill the enemy!" ”

The Chu army mobilized in an instant, the city gate opened, and the soldiers went out of the city and went straight to the Qin military camp to kill.

Inside and outside the city, the sound of shouting and killing constantly echoed.

The Qin camp was burned by the fire, and the firelight reflected the night that had just fallen into the night, and it also carried a monstrous heat wave to cover the Qin and Chu armies.

Meng Tian was on guard in advance, but in the barracks, all kinds of grain and grass and other materials were burned, and all the soldiers were not affected by the fire, and they were preparing to rush out to the north.

To the north, you can return to the chasm, and then return to the territory of Daqin.

Meng Tian and Li Xin both think so.

But Xiang Liang didn't give Meng Tian a chance to flee north, and after leaving the city, he first started to fight from the north.

The fight between the two sides soon became more and more intense.

After a while, Xiong Qi led 25,000 people to the shore, and Zhou Hong used the remaining boats to help Xiong Qi's men cross the river.

Xiang Liang also has more than 60,000 people in the city, and now with Xiong Qi's people, he can completely crush Meng Tian in terms of numbers, and the Chu army is attacking from all directions, even if Meng Tian has been prepared, he will soon fall into passivity.

Meng Tian was much calmer than Li Xin, and after calming down, he sat on horseback and commanded, and let the army charge to the north several times, but he couldn't tear through the gap in the encirclement, and decisively gave up the retreat in the north and had to go south.

But his current thoughts are similar to Li Xin's, he can only go to the south to hide first, and then find a way to kill back.

Xiang Yan's idea was to force them to the south.

Huaiyang can't go back, and the road to the north is also blocked, and continuing to the east is to throw himself into the net, trapping this group of Qin troops in the south, and Xiang Yan can hunt slowly.

The Qin army is brave and wants to be annihilated immediately, but it is not easy to do, only to consume it slowly.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to do this?"

Meng Tian led his troops to the south and saw Xiong Qi personally leading his troops to intercept him.

Xiong Qi was silent for a while and said, "I am from the Chu State, and I can't help the Qin State attack the Chu State." ”

Meng Tian smiled and said, "Since the beginning of persuading Chen Cheng to surrender, the monarch has already thought about betraying, right?" ”

Xiong Qi didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Actually, the general has long known that you will betray, and you are in the Chu State, so I have sent a letter to me in advance, so I will pay attention to you, but it's a pity that I came one step late, otherwise the king would not be able to succeed today."

Meng Tian really felt a pity in his heart.

Xiong Qi was stunned, thinking of the Qin army's scouts and intercepting the grain ship.

It turned out that it was foreseen by Bai Zhong, and Meng Tian would do this!

Meng Tian continued: "Even if the Chu State can win this battle, what will happen in the future? In the next battle, it must be the general who will personally go out to fight, Qin will destroy Chu, the general trend is the trend! ”

Xiong Qi was silent again.

If Bai Zhong was really that terrible, the State of Chu was definitely not the opponent of the State of Qin.

Can the state of Chu really fight a peace through war?

"Your Majesty, why talk nonsense with him?"

Xiang Liang rode his horse and hurried over.

Xiang Cheng's soldiers and horses, following him, several echelons of Chu troops, slaughtered.

Although the number of Qin troops is small, it is not as flustered as Li Xin, Meng Tian is worried that the Chu army has other plans, and he does not want to fight hard, thinking about escaping, which will give the Chu army a feeling of gaining the upper hand.

Seeing Xiang Liang's soldiers and horses coming over, the Qin army immediately combined, and there were also several echelons to resist and resist, fighting more with less, and there was no pressure.

"Breakout!"

Meng Tian didn't talk nonsense with them anymore, and commanded the battle as calmly as possible.

The soldiers of the Qin army were very fierce, and the soldiers who were trapped in the team rushed forward without fear of death, and because the Chu army deliberately wanted to lead the Qin army to the south, the encirclement was easily torn apart.

Meng Tian commanded a team of soldiers and horses again, intercepted Xiong Qi and Xiang Liang's pursuit, and accelerated his speed to lead the army to flee here.

Xiang Liang finally felt why his father would say that the Qin army was not easy to be wiped out immediately, and he could only figure it out slowly, because the current Qin army, even if it was in a trap, but under the leadership of Meng Tian, it was orderly and not weak in combat.

"Chariots!"

He saw that the Qin army was about to escape, how could he easily let Meng Tian leave.

Even if you decide to do it slowly, you have to constantly weaken the strength of the Qin army now, so that you can better kill it in the future.

More than a dozen chariots rushed out of the Chu army.

The soldiers driving the chariot lifted the reins to control the direction and charged against Meng Tian's troops who had just escaped.

On the chariot, there were several Chu soldiers holding Changge, their faces were full of ferocity, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, they lifted Changge and stretched out to the outside of the chariot, and when the war horse pulling the chariot rushed into the Qin army, Changge in his hand stabbed out without hesitation.

More than a dozen chariots charged past, and hundreds of Qin troops fell on the spot.

The Qin army also wanted to counterattack the chariot, but the soldier driving the car lifted the reins and slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and soon rushed out again, and even hit a group of Qin soldiers.

The speed of escape, disturbed by the chariot, had to slow down.

Xiang Liang and Xiong Qi, as well as Zhou Hong, saw the opportunity and caught up again.

"Changge, archers, come forward!"

Meng Tian shouted: "After another 10,000 people are broken, leave first!" ”

Thundered......

The chariot charged a second time.

The best weapon to deal with war horses, in addition to long-range bows and crossbows, there is also a long weapon like Changge.

Seeing the enemy's chariot coming again, the crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and fired.

Some of the war horses were shot, and the dragged cart fell heavily to the ground, and some of the chariots dodged the rain of arrows and rushed to the side, and when they saw Changge raised by the Qin army, it was impossible to stop, and the war horse was immediately pierced by Changge.

Under the action of strong inertia, the chariot crashed into the Changge hand of the Qin army.

As soon as the chariot knocked people down, the Qin army behind quickly made up for it, and killed the Chu army who fell from the car with a mending knife.

After disposing of the chariot, Meng Tian commanded the retreat.

All the crossbowmen joined the broken soldiers, drew their bows and threw them at the Chu army.

The burning of the military camp can have a certain impact on the Qin army, but with Meng Tian's calm command and leadership, they are in good shape, and when they fight, they can forget all kinds of unfavorable factors, and after gaining the upper hand, the remaining Qin army rushed forward.

The Chu army didn't want to intercept it much, let alone stop the Qin army with such momentum, so it quickly broke up and let the Qin army escape.

"No need to chase anymore!"

Xiang Liang said loudly.

The Chu army stopped, and didn't want to chase anymore, even if they had the advantage, their combat power was still far inferior to the Qin army, and if they caught up, they would only kill more people.

At this time, the fire in the Qin camp gradually sank and burned almost to the core.

When night fell, there was no firelight, and the outside of the city was getting darker and darker, and only the figures around me could be vaguely seen.

Xiong Qi stood in the shadow of the firelight, and finally completed his betrayal and rebellion.

"Congratulations, your lordship, return to the state of Chu!"

Xiang Liang said loudly.

Xiong Qi nodded slightly, and asked again: "Meng Tian and they escaped, does Shangzhu Guo have any other plans?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Xiang Liang's voice was full of confidence.

In this battle, their Xiang clan can fight beautifully!
