Chapter 241: River Crossing Battle
Qin Chu was on both sides of the Fenshui River and confronted each other for more than a month.
Qin Jun, as usual, did nothing but train his troops.
But then, Zhang Tang's voice broke the peace in the barracks.
"General, there is an urgent military situation, the Qi State has attacked Handan, and it has already fought with Yang Duan and the general."
He took a copy of the military information sent from Xianyang, and hurriedly walked into the main tent to find Bai Zhong, and the other generals heard about this and all came over nervously to gather.
If they still have to fight with the Qi State now, Daqin is fighting on two fronts in the north and south, which can cause a certain amount of pressure on the country, and they are all a little anxious, and they don't know if they can continue to destroy Chu next.
Bai Zhong read the news and threw it aside: "There's no need to be nervous, the Qi country is vulnerable and will be defeated soon." ”
Later, the Qin State destroyed Qi, and Qi Wangjian surrendered directly.
The current Qi State is weak and incompetent, and can be kneaded by Great Qin, there is no threat at all, and the King of Qi dares to send troops to attack Handan, which is just to hasten their demise.
Xin Sheng asked incomprehensibly: "The battle situation on our side, will it really not have an impact?" ”
"Impossible!"
Bai Zhong analyzed: "If there is an impact, this news is an edict, let us retreat first, the king knows very well what the situation of the Qi country is, continue to stalemate, the affairs of the Qi country, we don't need to care." ”
That sounds like there is some truth to that.
The wise men around the king, such as Tingwei and Shangqing, are not vegetarians, and there are more means to deal with the Qi State, and Daqin can at least gather another 200,000 troops, which is enough to resist the invasion of the Qi State.
What's more, the strength of the Qi State is still very weak, and the Qi army has no fighting spirit.
"Teacher, the scout has news, saying that someone in the Yan country is upstream and quietly crossing the river."
At this time, Fusu trotted in.
Bai Zhong said: "Xiang Yan should also get the news that Qi sent troops, in fact, the State of Chu sent envoys to persuade the State of Qi that King Jian of Qi dared to invade the border of Great Qin, and Xiang Yan sent troops to cross the river, probably to test our reality and whether we would be affected by the State of Qi and retreat." ”
Zhang Han arched his hand and said: "General, I'll kill them first." ”
Bai Zhong pondered and said: "Gengwu, you lead the warriors to the boat to prepare, we can use this opportunity to cross the river, as for the Chu army that has already crossed the river, let them come over first, and then kill." ”
"Yui!"
They nodded in agreement.
Bai Zhong took Fusu, as well as Li You and Zhang Han, 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, and gathered on the school field first, and then waited for the news of the scouts to return.
About half an hour.
The scout ran back and said, "General, all the Chu troops have crossed the river, including 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry. ”
"Kill!"
Bai Zhong said in a loud voice.
The 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry of the Qin army immediately walked out of the barracks and headed upstream.
The Chu army crossed the river just a trial, and the troops that came would not be many, not long after they crossed the river, they met the Qin army head-on, and the Chu army generals who led the troops first charged to the Qin army with cavalry.
"Cavalry!"
Bai Zhong shouted.
Ten thousand cavalry came out in response, and with the assistance of stirrups and saddles, they could all ride and shoot, and their combat power increased in a straight line.
The cavalry of the Chu army was just about to stop and draw their bows, but the cavalry of the Qin army was still on the way to charge, and they had already drawn their bows and shot a group of Chu cavalry.
By the time the cavalry of the Chu army reacted, the cavalry of the Qin army had already dispersed and killed again.
As soon as the Chu army reacted from the fact that the Qin army was able to mount and shoot, they immediately turned their arrows and shot at the infantry of the Qin army.
"Shield!"
Bai Zhongdao.
The shieldbearer raised his shield to resist, and all the arrows were blocked.
The cavalry of the Chu army had 20,000, and the Qin army only had 10,000, which was still a bit of a gap in number.
There were also thousands of cavalry of the Chu army, rushing out and rushing straight to the Qin infantry in the rear.
"Mo Dao!"
Bai Zhong shouted unhurriedly.
The Chu army was menacing, but the Qin army was not worried at all.
At the moment when the order was handed down, more than 2,000 Mo knives came out from behind the shield, and just as the cavalry of the Chu army also approached, the soldiers carrying the Mo knives raised and swung down hard.
The blade slashed at the Chu army's war horse that was close to him.
I only heard the mournful roar of the horses, and the Chu army's war horse that was close to him was directly cut off with a knife, and the knight who fell off the war horse was also quickly killed by the sword.
The Mo knife was specially prepared to deal with cavalry.
The cavalry of the Chu army behind them couldn't stop their speed and rushed forward, but they were also easily beheaded, and they were all surprised, what kind of weapon was this of the Qin army, and it was so easy to kill the cavalry.
On the other side, the cavalry of the Qin army had already entered the infantry of the Chu army, and it was an indiscriminate killing in an instant.
But this simple battle and collision did not last long, and the Chu army did not want to fight anymore, and under the command of their generals, they quickly fled back through the pontoon bridge.
"Keep chasing, take control of this pontoon."
Bai Zhong said loudly: "You can cross the river!" ”
The whole army of the Qin army moved quickly at this time.
The Iron Eagle Sharps on the ship immediately drove the ship to the east coast.
The pontoon bridge built by the Chu army was captured by the Qin army after a while, and Bai Zhong personally led his troops to the opposite bank, guarded the pontoon bridge, and killed all the Chu soldiers who wanted to destroy the pontoon bridge.
50,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, all crossed the pontoon bridge and assembled.
The large forces of the Qin army behind also rushed upstream and crossed the Fenshui together.
Xiang Yan learned that the Qin army took this opportunity to cross the river, and hurriedly led the army to intercept it, and Bai Zhong must not be allowed to succeed.
However, the Qin army had these 50,000 infantry as a base, and it could completely cover the army behind to cross the river, and as soon as the Chu army approached, it was killed by the long Mo knife, and then it was a close fight between the two sides.
Bai Zhong divided the 50,000 people into two echelons and intercepted them from the left and right.
Wait until the army behind crosses the river one after another, quickly replenish into these two echelons, and gain a firm foothold on the bank.
At the same time, the ship's Iron Eagle Sharps also went into action.
"Cover the general!"
Geng Wu shouted.
Their powerful crossbows shot out from a distance.
Sou......
The sharp sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air covered the shore from the ship.
Although the number of crossbows is small, they are powerful and easy to reload arrows, and the crossbow arrows are fired almost one after another, and many times, one arrow kills two people.
In addition to strong crossbows, there are other bow crossbows, including bed crossbows, etc.
The Chu army was suddenly killed by the warship, and after fighting for a while, it could no longer stop the Qin army's strong crossing of the river, Xiang Yan could only lead the army to retreat with a gloomy face, unable to stop the Qin army's edge, and had to avoid it first.
He regretted it a little, and he was a little rash in using the method of crossing the river to try it.
But the temptation came out, and the 400,000 Qin troops here had no intention of retreating at all, and they wanted to fight them all the way.
The Qin army successfully crossed the river, with 400,000 men, directly approaching Chencheng.
The guards in the city, the Chu army camp outside the city, were worried at this time, and they didn't know if the Qin army would continue to attack after crossing the river.
But what they thought, did not appear.
After the Qin army crossed the river, it did not attack the city, nor did it attack the military camp of the Chu army, but found a flat place to camp.
The two armies fought for so long, and the Qin army seemed to simply cross the river with the help of fighting, and then continued to stalemate with Xiang Yan to delay time.
