Chapter 249: Twenty miles back

The Chu army boarded the pontoon bridge and rushed to the opposite bank.

The Qin army definitely couldn't let them get their wish, and the counterattack was very fierce, and the Chu army on the ship had been intercepted by the Qin army, but there were too many on the pontoon bridge, and the shore could not be held several times.

Bai Zhong left fifty strong crossbows in the army, and all the crossbow arrows were shot at the pontoon bridge.

The shield of the Chu army was broken and penetrated by the arrows of the strong crossbow, shooting the shield bearers of the Chu army in the front row, and the overwhelming rain of arrows in the back fell into the Chu army without shield protection.

Only then did the Qin army redeem its disadvantage, but this was not enough, and there were still Chu troops who broke through the interception and walked to the shore.

In this river-crossing battle, the morale of the Chu army was not much worse than that of the Qin army, and they all fiercely stepped forward to fight and fight.

"Childe, let's fight too!"

Bai Zhong pulled out the sword in his hand.

After the horizontal knife was given to Ying Shu, he had been using the sword, and at this time he turned his head sideways to look at Fusu.

"That's exactly what I wanted!"

Fusu's eyes gradually became firmer, and there was a faint killing intent on his body, and before Bai Zhong could respond, he first took fifty short soldiers around him to kill the enemy.

"Win the captain, you protect the son."

After Bai Zhong finished speaking, he followed behind Fusu and rushed into the two armies in an instant, and Yingshu also followed.

As a general in the army, he wields his sword to kill the enemy, and at the same time directs the battle, and then starts the rage and furious battle.

With the addition of the generals, the soldiers on the shore suddenly had a high fighting spirit, and finally killed all the Chu troops, and the soldiers of the Chu army no longer dared to cross the pontoon bridge and had to retreat back to the opposite bank.

Xiang Yan saw that in the blink of an eye, more than 30,000 people had been killed, and he was very distressed, and he did not dare to force the Yingshui again, so he ordered the whole army to retreat, and the battle finally came to an end.

On the surface of the river, in addition to the blood that melted into the water, there were countless corpses, down the river, some were killed and fell into the water, and some fell directly and were drowned alive because they couldn't swim.

"Pull out the camp and retreat twenty miles to the west."

After Bai Zhong let the army retreat, he passed down this order that puzzled everyone.

Chen Ping first asked: "General, we can still resist Xiang Yan, why do we have to retreat?" If we retreat, the Chu army will cross the river again to catch up, and there will be no Yingshui separating us, and the advantage will no longer be ours. ”

Ying Shu was puzzled: "Did you kill the fool just now?" ”

"Although I don't know much about the art of war, I don't think the teacher did it out of fear."

Fusu also withdrew from the state of killing, trusting his teacher very much, and there must be some plan.

He unexpectedly found that after this killing, he didn't seem to have the fear and intolerance before, and finally adapted to the cruelty on the battlefield.

Bai Zhong said: "The son still understands me, first pull out the camp and retreat twenty miles to the west, and act immediately." ”

Although the soldiers were puzzled, they did not dare to disobey the general's order, so they had to pull out the camp and retreat, Chen Ping wanted to persuade him again, but finally gave up.

After pulling out the camp and walking another twenty miles, it was already evening.

Bai Zhong asked the military judge to continue to count the battle exploits, and then returned to the main account and opened the attribute panel.

Host: Bai Zhong

Grade: 6

Achievements: Medium Shift, General, River of Blood

Merit points: 9970

Exercises, skills: longevity, Mozi swordsmanship, eight methods in the well

Special Abilities: Berserk (Advanced, 500%), Berserk (Advanced, 426%), Kazuki (Intermediate, 55%), Enslavement (Advanced, 661%)

"Yes, the merit point is almost over 10,000."

Bai Zhong looked at the merit points, and there was no special ability for the time being, judging from the current strength, it was enough, and then opened the system mall, only to see that the things on it were refreshed again, there were two books of martial arts cheats, and an RPG bazooka.

Bazookas are more expensive and require 150,000 merit points.

"Can't afford it!"

Bai Zhong shook his head and immediately closed the mall.

If Da Qin in the future can really be turned into an immortal Qin by him, it doesn't matter what kind of hot weapons or bazookas, he will directly enter the immortal cultivation civilization and split the mountains and seas with one sword.

——

"Shangzhu State, General Jing, the Qin army has retreated."

The scouts of the Chu army hurriedly walked back to the barracks and said this incredible thing.

"Retreat!"

Jinglan exclaimed first.

The Qin army had the advantage, even if it was to disperse the troops, but when they crossed the river just now, the Chu army could not take advantage of it at all, so they were killed and retreated by the Qin army, normally the Qin army should occupy the river and resist their Chu army.

The sudden retreat came very unusually.

Jing Lan said again: "Bai Zhong feels that his troops are insufficient and has to retreat?" ”

"Probably not!"

Xiang Yan felt that it was not that simple, and said in a deep voice: "If Bai Zhong was the one who retreated because of this, he would not have taken the initiative to disperse his troops, and there must be a reason for him to do this." ”

"Brother Jing, do you remember that the Wei army had 400,000 people on the edge of the Yellow River?"

When destroying Wei, Bai Zhong was on the south bank of the Yellow River and killed the main force of the Wei army of 400,000.

Among them, more than 200,000 were burned alive by Bai Zhong with a retreat strategy, and it is said that the scene was very miserable, and the charred corpses emitted an unpleasant stench, and the stench did not dissipate for half a year.

This matter has long been spread.

People in many places, especially the people of the Wei State, are spreading how Bai Zhong was cruel and unreasonable, killing people like hemp, and he was a bloody slaughter, coupled with the assassination of Bai Zhong by Xiangjiang before, the title of Bloody Hands Slaughter gradually spread to the Chu State.

Bai Zhong's current reputation can be used to scare disobedient children.

"Shangzhuguo is worried, Bai Zhong's old tricks are repeated?"

Jinglan asked again.

Xiang Yan nodded and said, "There is this possibility, send someone to find out, I want to know what Bai Zhong is doing." ”

The scout left immediately.

Soon it will be nightfall.

Xiang Yan didn't do anything except strengthen her vigilance.

After dawn.

"Shangzhu Kingdom, the Chu army just retreated twenty miles to the west, and there was no movement."

The scout came back and said.

Just twenty miles back?

What is Bai Zhong's intention in doing this?

Xiang Yan was experienced in a hundred battles, and he couldn't figure out the reason, let alone Jing Lan, the two of them glanced at each other and couldn't guess what Bai Zhong wanted.

"Let people cross the river again, and continue to find out."

Xiang Yan refused to give up.

As a result, more Chu army scouts went to Bai Zhong's Qin army camp.

In the end, nothing was found.

"Shangzhu Country, why don't we cross the river?"

Jing Lan suggested: "If the Qin army holds the river bank, it will be difficult for us to force it to cross, now is a good opportunity, as long as we can cross the river, we have more troops, and the Qin army has few soldiers, we will definitely be able to defeat it." ”

That sounds like it makes sense.

The pontoon bridge used to cross the river yesterday is still across the Yingshui River.

Xiang Yan hesitated for a long time and said, "First arrange for 50,000 people to cross the river and camp, and then it depends on the situation." ”

50,000 Chu troops soon crossed the river.

They were successfully stationed on the opposite bank, there was nothing to do, and there was no ambush in sight, not even the scouts of the Qin army, and they seemed to be safe and without any problems.
