"Heh, these Yue people are quite smart, they know the location of the people who came to me, so they can carry out the beheading operation. Sure enough, you can't underestimate the enemy. ”

Zhao Tuo stood on the cliff, looking at the distant scene, shaking his head and sighing.

Stand tall and see far.

Coupled with the blessing of the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, when an army of thousands of people shuttled through the mountains and forests, bypassing the main battlefield and rushing towards Zhao Tuo's side, Zhao Tuo himself saw it first without waiting for the scouts to find out.

After all, thousands of people running in the mountains and forests will make the trees shake and the birds flutter out, which is a very remarkable feature.

"Xiahou, in the west direction, there are Yue people approaching. Send five thousand men up. ”

Zhao Tuo spoke calmly.

As a commander of the army on par with Wang Qian, Zhao Tuo has always been stable in his wars, and he always has reserves around him to deal with all kinds of accidents.

In addition to the troops fighting with the Yue people on the front line, Zhao Tuo also had 15,000 soldiers to fight with, and he was not afraid of the enemy's approach.

"Yui."

Xiahou Ying received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Zhao Tuo turned his head and raised the clairvoyant mirror again, looking at the frontal battlefield in the distance.

The Yue army that touched it didn't have to worry, but the situation on the main battlefield on the front line made Zhao Tuo frown.

It is no wonder that in the classical era, whether it was the Baiyue tribe in the east or Carthage and other countries in the west, they all liked to use elephant soldiers to fight.

Once these giant beasts are used properly, the effect of breaking the formation is beyond words, and it is much stronger than the heavy cavalry.

King Luo deliberately chose the opportunity this time, and released the elephant soldiers in the posture of fighting with the enemy and me, and successfully entered the battle formation of the Qin army.

The elephant soldiers charged, breaking a 5,000-strong Qin army formation, and the giant beast rampaged inside, and the Yue people took the opportunity to cover up and kill, causing heavy casualties to the Qin army and causing great trouble to the Qin army.

"If there are few people and they are rushed by these giant elephants, they may really be defeated. It's a pity that not only are there so many of us, but we can also set off fireworks in your faces. ”

Zhao Tuo let out a long breath.

As he said, when the Luo Yue people broke through the battle formation of the Qin army of 5,000 people with elephant soldiers, Cao Shen, who was in charge of the command of the Chinese army, had already assembled a special "elephant shooting" force.

Hundreds of people took the launchers of the cloud-piercing arrows, ran to the right place to ignite the fire, and crackled at the giant beast in the midst of a scream and the bloom of firelight.

These cloud-piercing arrows are specially crafted, mixed with a few spices that are designed to stimulate the beast, in addition to the bursting effect of gunpowder.

When this thing was shot in the face, many elephants let out heart-rending screams on the spot, and no longer listened to the command of the rider on their backs, and began to run.

"Damn, it's this thing again, shameless Qin people!"

Seeing this scene, King Luo was furious.

He still didn't understand what the Qin people had come up with, which was capable of firing flames from a distance.

Is this something that people can do?

And at this time, Ah Tugu, who led his troops to attack the general of the Qin State, was also angry.

"Why did these Qin people react so quickly, we were discovered before we even got close."

Ah Tu Gu originally wanted to use the chaotic main battlefield to attract the attention of the Qin army, so he quietly led his troops to touch the opponent's commander and took it down with a single rush.

Who knew that they had only reached the halfway point, and they encountered a Qin army of 5,000 men.

This Qin army was ready for battle, all of them were fully armed, and their armor and blades were better than the equipment of the Yue people, and the number of them was more than the three thousand tiger warriors of Ah Tu Gu.

Three thousand to five thousand.

In one face, the Hubu Yue people led by A Tu Gu were beaten and retreated, and they were not opponents at all.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ah Tugu already had a retreat in his heart.

Another thing happened that made him make a decision.

"Smoke! What a big smoke! ”

The guards around him screamed, pointing back in horror.

Ah Tu Gu was stunned, turned his head to look over, through the sparse trees, he could see black smoke rising from the rear of the main battlefield, and it seemed to be very strong, it was by no means an ordinary fire.

His face changed suddenly, and the thoughts in his mind turned slightly, combined with the direction of the black smoke rising, Ah Tu Gu knew what was happening.

"Withdraw! Withdraw me! ”

Ah Tu Gu screamed, turned his head and ran.

At the same time, Luo Yue and Xiou people, who were fighting with the Qin army on the main battlefield, saw the huge black smoke rising from the rear.

It's a cloudy day, and if you get it right, you can even see a fire shining in the distance.

The faces of the Yue people changed.

Because King Luo and others chose to surrender by fraud, in order to prevent the Qin people from seeing the flaws when they sent envoys to discuss and agree on the time. Therefore, there is basically no change in Luoyue Wangcheng, the residents inside have not moved away, and the food and other materials in the city are still stored there, the purpose is to coax the Qin people.

King Luo, A Tugu and the others were very confident, believing that with their careful planning, they would definitely be able to defeat the Qin army.

They didn't pay much attention to the defense of the royal city, thinking that as long as they broke the Qin army on the frontal battlefield, then everything would not be a problem.

Who knew that they were now fighting to the death with the Qin army on the battlefield, and the originally safe rear suddenly caught fire, and the army's heart was instantly moved.

For the Luo Yue people, especially the people of Xiangbu, it is where their royal city is located, and it is also their home and city, with their wives and children, old and young, and the dry bar-style wooden houses still store the grain they rely on for winter.

It is precisely because of the existence of this city that the Yue coalition army fought very bravely this time, fighting with the Qin people with their lives.

Once they fail, it means that everything will be taken away by the Qin army, they are fighting for their homeland and their wives and children, and their morale is very high.

And now it's happening.

Panic spread among the Viet Cong.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Qin army went to the royal city? ”

"The Qin people actually burned down the royal city, so what should I do with my wife and children?"

"Go back, go back!"

The Vietnamese society has tended to be in a primitive form, and the Vietnamese people in all departments rely on courage to fight, and there are no rules and regulations for fighting wars, let alone the concept of military law and military regulations.

Seeing that there was an accident in the rear, there were many Elephant Locke people on the spot, ignoring the battle in front of them, and directly turned around and ran wildly.

The old house has been stolen, and they are still fighting here.

Compared with ordinary Luo people, King Luo, as a ruler, was also frightened by the fire that ignited in the rear and trembled all over.

Wangcheng, that's his property!

"The Qin people are so vicious, they are not people, you are simply not people!"

King Luo stomped his feet in place angrily.

He didn't care about the elephants that were scurrying around, and he didn't even care about the clansmen who were fighting with the Qin army, and ran in the direction of the royal city with the remaining thousands of people.

King Luo ran away with the people of the elephant department, and when the Luo people from the other tribes saw this, they showed signs of rout and escape one after another.

Because of the great enmity with the Qin army, the Xiou people led by Kuda had a slightly stronger will to fight, and they fell last.

In the blink of an eye, the inextricable Yue coalition army, which had relied on blood and courage to fight with the Qin army, collapsed at once, and the Yue people screamed and ran towards the surrounding mountains and forests.

Zhao Tuo's strategy of smashing the enemy's nest and drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle was a great success, hitting the weakness of the Vietnamese coalition army and instantly crushing the opponent's military heart.

On the cliff, Zhao Tuo retracted his gaze, put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Order the vassal troops in the army to attack and kill and injure these fleeing Yue people." Then he ordered Fan Hao to lead our army to take advantage of the situation to enter Luoyue Wangcheng, join up with Han Xin's department, and control all the transportation arteries.

These Vietnamese coalition troops retreated because the rear was attacked and the army was discouraged, and the loss of their own troops was not large, so Zhao Tuo wanted to take this opportunity to pursue and kill and try to eliminate the opponent's living forces.

The Qin army is not good at pursuit battles in the mountains and forests, but Zhao Tuo still has a large number of vassal troops from Dongou, Minyue, and Nanyue.

Under the temptation of material rewards, these Yue people who surrendered to Qin still had strong combat effectiveness, and they went into the mountains to pursue, which was enough to complete the tasks assigned by Zhao Tuo.

Watching the herald hurriedly descend the mountain under the orders of Xiahou Ying, the horses rushed towards the various Qin troops.

Zhao Tuo turned around and looked up at the place where the flames rose in the distance.

"Han Xin, you're doing a good job."

He smiled.

In this Qin-Yue war, the victory and defeat have been divided.
