Chapter 228: Good News
On high slopes.
"Defeated."
Li Xin looked at the battle situation in the distance, and his face was tense.
At the beginning of this raid, the Qin army rode straight into the marching array of the Chu army with an unstoppable momentum, and the ambush soldiers buried in the dense forest also took the opportunity to raid the Chu army's central position.
The ambush raid, coupled with the impact of the swift chariots and horses, in just a short moment, the thousands of soldiers in the vanguard of the Chu army were all routed. The situation of the Qin army was very good, and after a period of slaughter, it drove the rout of the Chu army to rush towards the Chu army array in the rear.
Everything is moving in the direction that Li Xin envisioned.
According to the general battlefield situation, the rout of the front army rushed to the rear of the army, and the soldiers behind must have been in great confusion, and the soldiers either thought that their army had been defeated, and fled with those who were driven away. or directly overwhelmed the formation by the rout, and then was wantonly covered by the Qin army that followed closely.
This is the chance of victory for the Qin army, and it is the opportunity for Li Xin to break 30,000 from 20,000!
If he was lucky, he might even be able to kill Xiang Yan in the chaos.
However, to Li Xin's surprise, after the collapse of the front army of the Chu army, the three army formations in the rear were still standing neatly, standing still in the wave of the fleeing Chu army. After the rout had almost fled to both sides, the three red military flags began to move forward to the sound of the drums of the Chu people, launching a counterattack, and facing the Qin army, which was about to run out of momentum.
Looking from Li Xin's direction, the black wave that was still fierce just now, and the black wave that rushed forward only made a slight contact with the three red phalanxes, and then quickly retreated towards the rear where he was, and the surrounding fields.
In front of the elite of the three clans of the Chu State who were full of energy and ready to fight, the Qin army, which was exhausted in momentum and energy, was far from being an opponent, when the rain of arrows in the sky shot down the soldiers on the chariots and war horses, and when the neat and uniform military formation of the Chu army broke the Qin soldiers who were scattered due to pursuit, the scene of the defeat of the Qin army appeared.
A thousand miles away!
At the same time, Xiang Yan also released the Chu army's chariot that had been hiding in the rear, and began to carry out a large-scale pursuit and escape.
The art of war says: Therefore, those who are good at moving the enemy, the form, the enemy will follow him; Give it, and the enemy will take it. Move it with profit, and treat it with a pawn.
[In view of the general environment,
This is the tactic formulated by Xiang Yan against Li Xin's character.
For the sake of the general, he should be good at mobilizing the enemy's army, and show the enemy army a true or false military situation, and the enemy army will inevitably judge and follow according to it. If the enemy army is given a little practical benefit as bait, the enemy army will inevitably come to the enemy army and thus obey the movement of our army.
The array of the Chu army on the march was the bait that Xiang Yan gave to Li Xin!
Judging from Li Xin's character and past deeds, he must have taken the bait. As long as Li Xin bites the bait and takes the bait, then after he swallows the cannon fodder of the former army as a bait, what awaits the Qin army is the elite of the Chu army who are waiting for the battle, and the unstoppable rout.
"General Li, withdraw."
"General, if we go west, as long as we retreat to Huyi and break the pontoon bridge on the Yingshui, the Chu army will definitely not be able to chase after us."
On Li Xin's side, several generals began to persuade.
In today's scene, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it has been defeated.
Li Xin closed his eyes.
He still had 5,000 men at the foot of the hill and did not move.
….
That's his reserves.
It's just that in this kind of scene, even if 5,000 people are sent to the battlefield, it doesn't make any sense.
"Zhao Tuo......"
Li Xin couldn't help but evoke that name, and at this time, the first thing he thought of was that young man.
It is a scene outside the city of Pingyu, where the young man bows to the ground and kowtows to him to admonish.
"I regret not listening to Zhao Tuo!"
Li Xin muttered.
"General!"
The generals on his side began to admonish bitterly.
Li Xin opened his eyes and took a deep look at the scene of the defeat of the Qin army in the distance.
He sighed softly and strode down the slope.
Li Xin chose to retreat.
Throw down the Qin soldiers who were being chased and killed by the Chu army, and walk west.
……
"Hahaha, the Qin army was defeated in Huaibei!"
"Shangzhu broke the Qin army and beheaded thousands of people. chased Li Xin, who had fled, to the west, and broke through several times and captured Xin Wu, the general of the Qin army. Hahaha, looking at this situation, Shangzhu Guo will be able to capture the Qin general Li Xin sooner or later and bring him to Shouchun as a prisoner!"
"Joy of the valley!"
"It's not a good thing!"
In Shouchun City, the king of Chu saw the envoy from the Huaibei Chu army, when he heard the messenger's report, saying that Xiang Yan broke the Qin army in Huaibei, he was immediately overjoyed, and his face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
"Bugu knows that the Shangzhu State is a famous general of my Chu State, and it is far from being comparable to the sons of the Qin State. Hmph, King Qin is greedy and unreasonable, and he wants to slander Bugu with the matter of Qingyang's envoy, so as to take the opportunity to seize the Sheji of my Chu State, and let him know today that my Chu State is still a big country in the world, and the overlord of the south is far from being comparable to the Three Jin Dynasty and the most Xiaoyan. He wants to destroy our society, this is delusional!"
The king of Chu glanced at the ministers in the palace, his face was full of smiles, and his expression was full of pride.
Jin Xia, a favored minister, stood up and said with a smile: "According to the minister's opinion, the Shangzhu State can break the Qin army, this is the blessing of Taiyi, and it is also the king's command. Relying on the wisdom and martial arts of the king, he sent soldiers to the south bank of Huaishui, blocking the direction of Li Xin's southward direction, so that the Qin army could not cross the Huaishui, so that Shangzhu State could pursue and break the Qin army in Huaibei."
"Otherwise, Li Xin gathered his boats and crossed the Huaishui, even if Shangzhu Guo could catch up, I am afraid that because there were no boats to cross the Huaishui, he could only hope that Huai Xing sighed, An Neng had such a big victory!"
"From this point of view, this battle is all the work of the king, with a wise monarch like the king on the throne, then Qin Guoan can be the enemy of my Chu State!"
Hearing the words of his henchman, King Chu's eyes lit up.
Reasonable!
According to the military situation, Xiang Yan was two days late for Li Xin's journey, if it weren't for his Chu King Chengshu sending people to block the south bank of Huaishui, then Li Xin would definitely lead his army to cross Huaishui without blocking, and Xiang Yan would not be able to catch up at all, not only would there be no such victory, maybe Shouchun City would be defeated by Li Xin, and even he himself would have to become a prisoner of the Qin army.
Thinking of this, the King of Chu couldn't help but shudder.
A few days ago, because of the Qin army's attack on Chu, he was uneasy day and night.
You must know that since the Qin State launched the annexation war, it can be described as menacing, and in six years, it has destroyed four countries of ten thousand times.
This kind of majesty is so terrifying, so when the king of Chu heard that Qin Wangzheng announced that he was going to conquer Chu and send a large army south, although he also roared to declare war with the Qin people. In fact, he was so frightened that he trembled in his heart, even when he shrank in the arms of the beauty at night, when he thought of the news of Qin Jun's future, he couldn't help but tremble, without the spirit of a king.
….
This is also the reason why he was unwilling to listen to Jing Zhao's strategy and let the Qin army go south to cross Huai.
Annihilating the Qin army, how can it be important to ensure one's own safety first, the life of the king of Chu is very expensive, and there can be no danger at all.
Fortunately, now that Xiang Yan has broken Li Xinjun, the king of Chu is no longer in danger of his life, and his self-confidence has returned.
And all of this is because of the wise decision of King Chu, as well as Jin Xia's small advice.
At this time, many Chu ministers also reacted and hurriedly congratulated.
Only Songyang Jun Jingzhao sighed secretly in his heart.
Jin Xia's words seem reasonable.
But in Shouchun, the city is fortified, and there are more than 10,000 guards, if the young and strong people in the city are temporarily recruited, how can Li Xin's 20,000 vehicles that lack logistics be able to beat the capital of the Chu State. Even if Xiang Yan can't cross the Huaishui from Xia Cai, he can also make a detour to cross the Huai River from Zhongli and other places in the east, and he can still block Li Xin here, and then he will completely annihilate the Qin army and capture Li Xin, which is the real shocking victory!
"I hope that Shangzhu State can capture Li Xin, and when the time comes, Mengwu will naturally be defeated and retreat, and my Chu State will be truly stable like a mountain."
Jing Zhao muttered in his heart, but he still followed the ministers to congratulate the king of Chu.
Seeing that the ministers bowed their heads and congratulated, the king of Chu became more and more proud.
He stood up and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Li Xinbing was in Huaishui, and the people in the city were panicked and frightened, even
Some people spread the word that Bugu wanted to move the capital to Jiangdong. This is really nonsense, how can Bugu be the kind of mediocre lord who is afraid of Qin!"
"Bugu will use the news of this great victory today to tell the people of Chudi. Bugu will not only not move the capital, but will also defeat the Qin army, and even recover Chen Ying's hometown! Not Gu, not only is he not afraid of the Qin State, but he also wants to defeat them and expel them!"
The king of Chu became more and more energetic, and he waved his hand and said, "This great victory should be celebrated with a feast in the city to calm the hearts of the people. By the way, let Qu Ming, who led the army to guard the south bank of Huaishui, bring the captured Qin army prisoners over, especially the Qin general Xin Wu, and let them be in the city, so that everyone in the city knows how mighty my Chu country is in this battle!"
"Bugu still wants to repair a book and send it to the Qin State, so as to humiliate the King of Qin, and Bugu will be angry with him! Hahaha!"
