Chapter 675: The Flock
"The Xiang clan colluded with the assassins and plotted rebellion, and the crime is not punishable!"
"Wugong Hou led the army south to capture the thieves, there are still 100,000 troops in the rear, and they will arrive in an instant, and all resistance will be turned to dust, and the corpses will be reduced to dry bones on the roadside!"
With the sound of the ten loudspeakers echoing through the field.
The three thousand Chu troops all looked terrified. Martial arts Hou Zhao Tuo! Qin army 100,000!
Although the backbone of the Xiang clan knew that their rebellion was very sudden, and in this short period of time, it was impossible for the Qin army to have 100,000 people come to support, but those who were coerced did not know.
Most of these people were illiterate Qianshou farmers, who had little knowledge and were full of fear of the Qin army. Hearing this at this moment, he had already been frightened by Zhao Tuo's name and the news of the 100,000 army, how could he still have any ability to think.
And immediately after, the voice coming from the Qin army's loudspeaker further dispelled their fighting spirit.
"The prince knows that this rebellion is actually the mastermind of the Xiang family, and most of you are good citizens of Surabaya County, and they are coerced to participate in the war, and the prince inherits the virtue of the emperor... ...」
In the sound of the horns, these coerced subordinate youths listened to the excitement of their hearts.
"The prince really understands us and knows that we were coerced by the Xiang clan."
"My old mother is on my side, my wife is weak and my children are young, if I wasn't forced by these Xiang people with swords, how could I have rebelled! I want to live!"
Compared with those young men who were coerced, the faces of the Xiang family changed greatly.
The Qin army first used the reputation of Zhao Tuo, the marquis of martial arts, to combat their fighting spirit, and used an army of 100,000 to deter their military morale, and finally divided them.
Especially when Qin Pawn shouted out a word, a trace of coolness rose on the soles of the feet of all the people of the Xiang clan.
"This battle only conspires against the Xiang clan, and the rest surrender without killing, if you punish the Xiang clan alone, you can resist the crime of rebellion!"
Xiang Liang's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately raised his sword and shouted, "Attack! Defeat the Qin army for me!"
You can't wait, and if you wait any longer, you're going to have to do the opposite. This is a terrible way to attack the heart.
Xiang Liang has completely determined that Zhao Tuo is leading the army on the other side.
It is rumored in the world that Zhao Tuo likes to use the technique of attacking the heart the most, and judging from what I can see today, the Qin army on the opposite side is his style of play.
"Attack!"
"Expelle Qin Yu and recover Jing Chu!"
Xiang Xiang's backbones such as Xiang Tang, Xiang Sheng, and Xiang Xiang chanted together, urging the three thousand people to attack.
Under the shouts, the deterrence of the sword soldiers, and the leading charge of the brave soldiers, these three thousand people suppressed the complex thoughts in their hearts, and shouted to launch an attack on the Qin army in front of them.
Seeing that the war had officially begun, Xiang Liang's face was gloomy, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
What kind of thing is this, the real war is completely different from his imagination that the two armies will face each other fairly and fight in formation.
The other party first harassed him with cavalry, and then used this so-called horn tactic to force him to attack immediately, from beginning to end, Xiang Liang felt that he was being led by the nose by the other party.
Zhao Tuo asked him to order an attack, so he had to order an attack, and he couldn't stop for a moment.
"Wu Sun Tzu said that those who are good at fighting will cause people but not others. Martial Arts Marquis Zhao Tuo is really terrible, he actually played me in the palm of his hand, for the sake of today's plan, if he wants to win, I am afraid that he can only pin his trust on the number of people."
Xiang Liang muttered, a flash of despair in his eyes.
At this time, in the face of the sudden attack of the Chu army, the large array of the Qin army on the opposite side immediately moved.
The Qin soldiers holding the horn retreated into the formation, and the crossbowmen of the Qin army in the front row knelt down and raised the crossbow to make a shooting posture, and when the brave men of the Chu army rushed into the firing range, they only listened to an order, and hundreds of arrows were shot.
The Chu people at the front fell a batch, and the screams came and went.
Then a very funny scene appeared, just when the Qin crossbow was shooting, in the array of the Chu army's charge, there were already young men who had been frightened, and they actually turned around and fled in the process of charging forward.
Then, as soon as he turned around, he was pierced by his fellow countrymen who were advancing with wooden spears behind him.
The two are mutual
They looked at each other with a look of consternation. There are quite a few scenes like this.
What's more, some people were brainwashed by Qin Jun's propaganda just now, especially the sentence "Zhu Xiang's family alone can resist the crime of rebellion", which made these persecuted subordinate ministers have other thoughts in fear.
Someone saw a member of the Xiang clan next to him, so he rushed up to the other party regardless of it, and stabbed the other party's neck with the sword in his hand, trying to cut off his head to atone for the crime.
Chaos and irrepressibility appeared in the array of the Chu army's charge.
"The prince is really like a god, although the number of this rebel army is larger than our army, but they are all rabble, and most of them are the leaders of the Qian, who were coerced by the Xiang clan. It's still the prince who sees it thoroughly, and I was confused before."
In the battle formation of the Qin army, Zhao Guang, who was in charge of this battle, couldn't help but sigh, and secretly praised Zhao Tuo's means of controlling people's hearts.
Then the veteran was keenly seized on the fighter. "The crossbowman stepped back, the foot soldier stepped forward!"
"Cavalry flanks to break the enemy!" The heralds ran and shouted, and held loudspeakers to convey military orders.
The entire Qin army's formation changed again, and the crossbowmen who had finished shooting in the front row immediately rushed to both sides, and the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen behind them began to step forward.
One tithing is a group, the short soldiers are in front, and the long soldiers are in the back, stepping neatly towards the chaotic Chu army in front.
In the eyes of Xiang Liang and others, such a scene only felt that a black cloud was slowly falling down.
What's even more terrifying is that on both sides of the Qin army, there are hundreds of cavalry galloping out, they are extremely fast, bypassing the Chu army in front of them, driving directly to the middle of the Chu army, shouting while charging, the power is very amazing.
Xiang Liang placed 30 cavalry on each side of the Chu army, as well as 200 foot soldiers with spears and halberds each, just to protect the flanks from the Qin army.
But at this moment, under the situation of the internal chaos of the Chu army, the Chu soldiers on both sides had no fighting spirit at all, and when they saw the cavalry of the Qin army coming on horseback, someone actually threw down the spear halberd in his hand on the spot, and then turned around and ran.
Before the Qin army harassed with cavalry twice, it was to plant the seeds of fear in the hearts of these Chu people, and later Zhao Tuo's self-registration number, the words of forgiveness, were like a stream of water full of nutrients, poured on this seed, and then it took root and sprouted, and fear broke through the ground.
One person runs, everyone runs. "Runaway, die!"
Xiang Sheng, who was sitting on the horse, shouted, but no one paid attention to him in this chaotic situation.
Xiang Sheng saw that the situation was not good, and he was afraid in his heart, and he also retreated with the rout.
Then, the cavalry of the Qin army inserted into the middle of the Chu army from both sides, and the front army, which was in chaos and was pressed up from the front by the Qin army's foot soldiers, collapsed on the spot. "Defeated!"
"Our army is defeated!" "Run!"
Everyone shouted, some ran away, some took advantage of the chaos to kill Xiang's people, and some laid down their arms and surrendered to the Qin army······
Xiang Liang, who was in charge of command in the rear of the Chu army, was already dumbfounded.
He was defeated.
This is actually very normal, when he heard that Zhao Tuo was leading the army on the other side, Xiang Liang was already ready for defeat.
But it was defeated in one round of confrontation, and before the Qin army on the opposite side could fight, their own army was in chaos and killed each other.
"Rabble······ O rabble!" Xiang Liang looked up to the sky and shouted, full of unwillingness.
After the first actual battle, Xiang Liang finally understood that in a war, the superiority in numbers could easily become a trap for failure.
Knowing this, he might as well lead the Xiang clan's disciples and the daring men of the prime minister to attack the Qin army at night, maybe it would be better than the battle in front of him.
A fast horse galloped over, and the neck of the horse was scattered, and he said with red eyes, "Brother, our army has been defeated. The general trend is gone, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave!"
In the rear of Xiang Tang, there were large swaths of the Chu army that were chased by the Qin army.
Xiang Liang's mind remembered a word from Wu Sun Tzuli.
Like driving a flock of sheep!
Xiang Liang shook his head and chased the sheep by tigers and wolves
The scene of chasing is out of mind.
At Xiang Tang's urging, he glanced sideways in the direction of the Qin army again, wanting to see the commander of the Qin army.
It's a pity that everywhere you go, there are only scenes of the Qin army chasing and killing all the way, slashing the Chu army, and the scene of the Chu people surrendering to the Qin army one after another.
The person he wanted to see was just a small black dot in the distance.
"Let's go."
Xiang Liang opened his mouth bitterly, entangled with Xiang, and ran down to Xiangcheng on his horse.
Behind the Qin army, Zhao Tuo stood on a high platform that had been erected, looking at the battle situation in the distance with an indifferent face.
Expected situation.
Although the number of Chu troops is large, most of them are young and strong under Xiang Liang, the laws of Qin are strict, and the taxes are heavy, but now the emperor has not built the Great Wall, and there is no 500,000 army to conquer Baiyue in the south, and the burden of the people in the world has not reached the limit, far from the point of forcing these Qiantou to death.
In this case, everyone has parents, wives and children, dragging their families with them, except for a very small number of light heroes and diehards of the Six Kingdoms, which ordinary person is willing to follow the Xiang family to rebel.
When Zhao Tuo threw out the propaganda slogan that only punished Xiang's family, these people naturally wanted to make trouble in order to survive.
"Order Zhao Guang, leave five hundred foot soldiers to surrender and screen the prisoners, and the rest of the people will immediately drive the rout to take Xiangcheng!"
"Order the cavalry to chase and kill Xiang Liang and Xiang Tang brothers all the way."
"To live is to see people, and to die to see corpses!" Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of coldness.
The defeat of the Chu army of the lower prime minister is nothing. What he wants is Xiang Liang!
