Chapter 40: The Heavy Cavalry, the State of Qin

The Qin army's crossbow attack directly slowed down the advance speed of the Chu army, and several comrades fell for every zhang of advancement.

In the middle of the Chu army, Xiang Yan got the battle report from the front line, he looked at the crossbow arrows that fell and rose again, Xiang Yan decided that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise the Chu army would become the target of the Qin army's harvest.

Xianyang looked at the herald beside him and said, "Pass the order, let the cavalry and chariot soldiers charge from both flanks, and scatter the Qin army's military formation." ”

The herald galloped on horseback, holding the herald's order flag aloft in his hand, and shouted all the way, "Get out of the way, the general has an order." Get out of the way, the general has an order. ”

The voice was heard, and the conscripts, servants, and soldiers all rushed to both sides of the road to make way for them, and there were two kinds of people in the army who could not be offended.

One is such a herald and flag officer, and the other is the war supervisor and war supervisor.

Xiang Yan's military order reached the generals of the chariot army and the cavalry army, and the war drums of the two armies sounded, and the chariot soldiers and cavalry who heard the sound of war drums quickly began to assemble and began to go to the two flanks of the battlefield.

The actions of the Qin army and the Chu army will naturally be discovered, so Yan Yan ordered, "Let the three generals Guo, Feng, and Hu meet the enemy with the whole army." ”

The herald beside Yan Yan also rode quickly to deliver the military order.

Among the Qin army, the three generals who had already dressed up and waited for the military order went towards their respective goals according to the plan.

The infantry of the two armies has begun to fight together, the Qin army in the front guards the big shield in front of them, and the spears in their hands extend out of the military formation along the gaps, and the Qin troops behind them are squatting under the cover, and the spears in their hands are constantly piercing, stabbing and stabbing movements.

The military formation that was broken through by the Chu army took the initiative to crack a hole, and then pulled out the oxtail knife and slashed down. The crossbowmen who were still in the rear still released their bolts, and the arrows in their quivers were enough for them to fire thirty times before they drew their swords to kill the enemy.

The two armies were feeling the shaking of the ground, which was the movement of the chariots and cavalry.

When the Chu army saw the chariots and cavalry charging towards the Qin army from both sides, their morale was high, and their attack power was once again increased by one level, and the opening of the Qin army's army formation continued to be torn apart.

The sound of drums also sounded in the Qin army's barracks, and then an even more terrifying vibration came, Chu Jun looked at the two silver torrents that rushed out of the Qin army's barracks, and looked at the Qin army whose horses were even shrouded in armor, and the morale that had just been mentioned immediately dropped because of fear.

This was the first appearance of Qin's heavy cavalry in this war.

Guo Bin led 10,000 heavy cavalry troops to charge towards the chariot army of the Chu army, and with the pincer attack of the Qin army, the speed of the horses became faster and faster, and the sound of horse hooves that resounded throughout the battlefield gradually overwhelmed the sound of the horse hooves of the chariot army.

Fengwen and Toda took the remaining 20,000 heavy cavalry and charged towards the cavalry of the Chu army, and the momentum was even greater.

The distance between the two sides rushing towards each other was getting closer and closer, and the Qin army was armed with spears and rushed into the meat grinding ground of the war.

When the two armies collided, it was like the Yangtze River rushing into the sea, and it was like a waterfall smashing into a deep pool.

The heavy cavalry of the Qin army was like a hammer to break the city, smashing it on the city gate, smashing the city gate into pieces.

With a single charge, the chariot army of the Chu army was torn apart and divided by the heavy cavalry of the Qin army.

The cavalry of the Chu army was like a wooden spear hitting the iron spear and was completely shattered.

The morale of the Qin army was high, and it was a crazy attack against the Chu army, and the offensive was even more courageous than just now.

The heavy cavalry of the Qin army completed a charge and began to make a roundabout turn, charging towards the infantry formation of the Chu army, leaving only the chariots and scattered cavalry that were difficult to organize.

Mengwu organized a giant crossbow aimed at the Chu cavalry, and then began to fire.

A thousand spears flew towards the cavalry of the Chu army, shooting directly through the men and horses.

In the distance, a group of Qin heavy cavalry had already finished turning their horses' heads and rushed towards them again.

The morale of the Chu army was no longer over, and they began to flee.

Xiang Yan saw this situation and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The sound of bells and bells resounded in the Chu army camp, and the Chu army began to organize a retreat and return to the barracks.

Yan Yan also ordered the withdrawal of troops, and it was unrealistic to solve the Chu army with one stop.

The two armies began to clean up the battlefield and transport their comrades back to the barracks.

The Qin army also collected all recoverable armaments and reused them.

The Chu army camp.

Xiang Yan sat in the main seat and listened to the generals of the various armies report the losses, and when he finished listening, Xiang Yan fell silent, this loss had greatly exceeded his estimate.

Xiang Yan "immediately sent this war report back to the Chu State, and asked the king to decide." ”

"The cavalry of the Qin army is no longer able to win by this person, and if you want to continue to attack Qin, you must increase your troops."

"Yui."

Xiang Yan looked at the many generals below and said, "Next, adopt the form of defensive defense, and you can't rush into battle, so as not to be constantly consumed by the Qin army." ”

At this time, a soldier said, "General, Wuguan is urgent." ”

Xiang Yan opened it and watched it, and after reading it, Xiang Yan said, "There is a Qin army attacking in Wuguan, who is willing to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses back to support." ”

Someone stood up and said, "The last general wishes." ”

Xiang Yan said, "Okay, go quickly." ”

The general left the barracks and went to order troops to help.

The Great Tent of the Qin Army.

The atmosphere is very different from the big tent of the Chu army.

Yan Yan: "Next, I estimate that the Chu army will adopt a defensive strategy, and will not advance quickly, and what we have to do next is to constantly harass the Chu army, so that they can't sleep, can't eat, and make them completely tired." ”

"General Feng, General Guo, and General Hu, this task will be handed over to the three of you, to harass the Chu army in batches and make them nervous all the time."

Just when Yan Yan was arranging the next military task, the spies came to report.

"General, the Chu army has an army of about 10,000 people overnight returning to the original road, and I don't know the purpose."

"Revisit."

"Yes."

Yan Yan looked at the many generals and said, "Tell me what the purpose of this army is in the Chu army. ”

Meng Wudao said, "Taishi, could it be that General Meng Fu sent people to attack Wuguan's reinforcements arriving." ”

The rest of the people also nodded, "What the fierce general said is reasonable." ”

Yan Yan "Let people get in touch, and always pay attention to the situation in Chu. ”

"Yes."

Yan Yan: "Disperse, the three generals don't forget to invade the Chu army camp tonight." ”

"Yes."

Yan Yan wrote the battle report of today's battle and asked the post guards in the army to send it to Xianyang.

After several years of construction, the main road of the Inner History has taken shape, and it is believed that it will not be long before the post station can be built.

Time passed, and ten days had passed since the confrontation between the Qin army and the Chu army, and during these ten days, the Qin army attacked the Chu army twice and repelled it to the east of Shang County, which returned to the jurisdiction of the Qin army.

On the Wuguan side, Yan Yan ordered that the partial general Gan Yuan not attack Wuguan, and canceled the original strategy of attacking from both sides, because the Chu State increased its troops by 200,000 and rushed towards Wuguan, and Gan Yuan was likely to be completely wiped out by the Chu army at Wuguan at that time.

Yan Yan asked Gan Yuan to lead 20,000 Qin troops to retreat towards the land of Nanyang, hide in it, and wait for the supporting Chu army to pass Wuguan before attacking Wuguan.

At the same time, the Qin army also confronted the Chu army in Shang County, and the three generals of the heavy cavalry army Guo Bin, Fengwen, and Toda still followed Yan Yan's orders and invaded the Chu army from time to time.

When the Chu army thought it was the same as usual, the three of them showed their real skills, rushed into the Chu army camp and killed them and left.

When the Chu army was in full array, the Qin army released crossbow arrows, lit a fire and retreated, just to see if the Chu army slept well, whether the food was fragrant or not, and cared about it.

The Chu army persevered under such mental exhaustion for ten days, and its morale became more and more sluggish.

On the border between Qin and Zhao, the Yan army, with the full support of the Mo family, cooperated with the Zhao army to break through the defense of the Qin army in one fell swoop, and attacked the central part of Shangjun like a bamboo.

Wang Jian looked at the white tiger beast outside the city, the tall ladder, the sturdy city-breaking hammer, and his fists were clenched to death.

The Mo family, a school famous for its non-offensive and loving thoughts, actually chose to attack with all its might, and it seems that the Mo family is tied to the Yan Kingdom.

Wang Jian looked at the moon god and the star soul beside him and said, "Two mages, there is a way to crack the Mo family's trap beasts. ”

Both the moon god and the star soul shook their heads.

The Moon God's "Yin and Yang Family does have a unique means for the disciples of the Mo Family, but the Trap Beast is not a creature after all, and the Yin and Yang Family's techniques have no other way. ”

Wang Jian said, "I don't know what the Taishi thinks, it's been a few years since the Gong Loser entered the Qin State, and in addition to making many auxiliary organs and workshops, not a single machine beast for the main battle has been built." ”

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Moon God and the Star Soul, and the two of them saluted, "I'll take my leave first." ”

Wang Jian "has two laborers." ”

The moon god and the star soul walked on the steps of the lower city, and the star soul said, "What do you think of that Grand Master?" ”

The moon god is shrouded in a layer of fog, and it is impossible to see it really. ”

The moon god remembered the last time he saw Yan Yan when he went to Qi Country to explain to him about Concubine Yan of the Yin and Yang Family.

Under her perception, the person sitting across from her at that time was like a thin veil blocking her vision, and she couldn't see his true situation at all.

The moon god walked forward, and her voice came, "Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor asked me to warn you not to provoke that person, otherwise you can't afford the consequences, and the Yin and Yang family can't bear it." ”

The figure of the moon god was already far away, and the steps of the star soul were getting slower and slower, and finally stopped.

He looked at the back of the moon god, and the words just now sounded in his ears, even the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was unwilling to provoke him! It's a lot of fun.

Star Soul didn't notice that the corners of the departing Moon God's mouth were outlined with a trace of arc, as if he was in a very good mood.

The alliance forces of Wei, Han and Qi could only stalemate with Meng Fu, and could not break through the defense line arranged by Meng Fu at all, and Wei could only watch its territory being occupied by the Qin army.

South Korean military camp.

Ji Wuye found Bai Yifei, he looked at Bai Yifei and said, "It seems that the Qin State has completely gained a firm foothold, and the war here has lost its meaning." ”

Bai Yifei "What can this be, this time the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Qi State did not contribute at all, just sent people to deal with it, the Wei State was disabled by the Qin army, and our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coveting that position, and it is even more impossible to send all the Han troops." ”

Bai Yifei looked at the camp and said, "Here, it's just a quagmire to contain Meng Fu, and the main force is naturally in the Three Kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Yan." ”

Ji Wuye sat in his position and said, "Once South Korea changes its new king, it means that South Korea will start a new round of games, how are you preparing?" ”

Bai Yifei raised his hand and said, "The game is very interesting if you have to control it yourself." ”

Ji Wuye nodded and said, "Controlling their fate with your own hands, it's not that a new monarch is better than a new monarch, this feeling is the best enjoyment in the world." ”

The new 200,000 troops of the Chu State arrived at Wuguan and joined the Chu army that had nothing to do with the inner fifty miles, so that the strength of the Chu army reached 300,000.

The Qin army was only 80,000.

Xiang Yan then began the Chu army to attack the Qin army in a big way, and pushed the battle line back to Shang County, and the Chu army set up a large camp and rested in two groups.

The Qin army battalion.

Yan Yan said, "The next war is bound to be a tug-of-war, the Chu army has a large number of troops, and there is no need to continue the invasion. ”

"Mengwu."

Meng Wudao: "The last general." ”

Yan Yan "You are responsible for organizing the people of Shang County, the old, the young, the sick and the disabled all organize them to retreat, and organize the rest of the people to build a defensive offensive, and the next strategy is to use Shang County as a front and fight a long-term war with the Chu army here." ”

Meng Wu: "The last general will do it." ”

Yan Yan: "Guo Bin. ”

Partial general Guobin: "The last will be." ”

"You are responsible for leading the army to camp ten miles south of Shang County to prevent the Chu army from bypassing Shang County and advancing westward."

Guo Bin: "The last general commanded. ”

Yan Yan "Tobomi, Toda. ”

Toyofumi, Toda "The last general. ”

Yan Yan: "The two of you are in charge of the cavalry and chariot army in the Chu army, as long as the cavalry and chariot army in the Chu army are dispatched, you can attack directly without asking for instructions to destroy them." ”

Toyofumi, Toda "the last general commanded. ”

Yan Yan then arranged the rest of the military, and the entire Qin army operated in an orderly manner.

The Chu army camp.

Xiang Yan "must break through Shang County before winter, otherwise when winter comes, he will have to retreat to Wuguan." ”

"Mingtai began, invading the Qin army, and three days later fought with the Qin army."

"Got it?"

"Understood."

Xiang Yan: "Okay, let's disperse." ”

Xiang Yan looked at the terrain map, and the lines that went back and forth on it were all the marching routes and battle locations of the Chu army and the Qin army fighting each other during this time.

Both armies acted as arranged, and under the invasion of the Chu army, the Qin army directly served with crossbow arrows, so the Chu army not only did not get benefits, but also lost a lot of troops.

Three days passed in a flash, and the Chu army lived and cooked early in the morning, and then extinguished the fire and beat the war drums.

Yan Yan ordered the infantry to focus on defense, and the heavy cavalry launched an attack according to the situation.

The drums of war were beaten by both armies, and the thunderous drums thundered.

The war began.

This time, the Chu army all attacked the Qin army, so the Qin army was not used to the other party, and the giant crossbow and hand crossbow were constantly fired.

When the Chu army got closer, the foot soldiers began to advance, and the two armies fought together.

The battle was going on, and people on both sides were falling all the time, Yan Yan looked at the battle situation and said, "Let General Fengwen break through the army formation of the Chu army from the left flank." ”

The herald galloped towards Fengwen's military array to deliver the military order.
