Chapter 221: Striking the West?

The wind and snow became more and more intense.

The soldiers on both sides were shivering with cold.

If this stalemate continues, even if the soldiers don't fight, I'm afraid that many people will die because of illness.

This is something that is unacceptable to both sides.

The Qiang sword is also very clear.

He looked in the direction of the southern jade valley, but still no one came back to report the news.

Is this opportunity really going to be missed?

Just as he sighed and prepared to give the order for the withdrawal of troops.

In the southern snow, a figure came rushing wildly.

The eyes of the Qiang people who were waiting for it widened.

"It's coming! Here comes the news! ”

The sword also suddenly lifted the spirit.

Staring at the approaching scouts.

The scout asked before he could speak.

"How's Jade Valley going?"

But who knew that the scout was stunned suddenly.

Immediately after that, echo.

"The subordinates are scouts sent by the Patriarch."

As soon as these words came out, all the Qiang people who mentioned their spirits suddenly sighed.

Jian Jian also closed his eyes hard, and his expression couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Is Qin Jun really that strong? In the Jade Valley, is it so difficult for 30,000 light cavalry to fight 20,000 infantry? ”

Looking at Jian Jian's dissatisfied expression, the clansmen no longer dared to speak.

But the scout followed suit.

"Don't worry about the sword, Ming ordered the patriarch to send his subordinates to come, just to report that the army has successfully bypassed behind the Qin army, you see when to attack!"

The sword waved his hand impatiently.

"Offensive what? If you can't even beat 20,000 people, you can beat it down with more than 100,000 on the front? ”

The sword's dissatisfaction was unmistakable.

"That's it! Go back and tell him to withdraw the troops! ”

"Come back and evacuate west with us, and wait for the snow to melt!"

But when the words fell, the scout not only did not retreat, but took a step forward.

Said a little anxiously.

"Ming Ling, the patriarch still has something to say to his subordinates to bring back."

Although he was a little impatient, he listened anyway.

"The army is already close to the back of the Qin army for several miles, and the formation of the opponent's right army has gone too far, revealing a great flaw."

"Now, as long as there is a large army in front of us to attract attention, I can wait for a charge to enter the strong crossbow formation."

"The Ming Ling Patriarch also said that even if Jade Valley does not have a big victory, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army by seizing this opportunity."

With these words, the sword's eyes widened suddenly.

Said with some skepticism.

"Is that true?"

The scout hurried back.

"What the subordinates have seen with their own eyes is indeed as the patriarch of Mingling said."

"In the rear of the right army of the Qin people, there are only 10,000 sharp soldiers in the rear."

"It must not be able to stop the army from charging at such close range."

The scout's firm words made the sword, which had already given up, frown again.

He looked at the snow that was still deepening, and knew in his heart that this was his last chance.

At this time, the Liu patriarch beside him saw the sword's thoughts, and also frowned and said.

"If it's true, you can gamble it!"

"The army pretended to attack the left side of the Qin people in the front, and ordered the two armies in the rear to cooperate."

"In this way, the Qin people will definitely put their focus on the battlefield on the left side."

"Then let the Ming Ling Patriarch raid."

"If they can rush into the camp of the Qin army, they will no longer have the advantage of strong crossbows, and they are likely to be exterminated by tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop."

These words made all the Qiang people frown and think.

Should I fight or not?

At this time, among the patriarchs, a slightly straightforward person said.

"What are you afraid of, even if there is an ambush for our Qiang army, you can evacuate immediately."

"With such a snow-covered scene, can the Qin army catch up with us?"

"If we wait any longer, we will completely lose the opportunity, and even the benefits of the horses will be wiped out by the Qin crossbow and fall into a disadvantage!"

This statement was also supported by the rest of the patriarchs.

"That's true, no matter what, it can't be consumed any longer."

"If you wait any longer, the horses on which the soldiers sit will not be able to lift their legs."

"When the time comes, we will lose the speed advantage, and we will really lose the other!"

Jian Jian looked at the patriarch who all agreed very much, and finally made up his mind.

"Good! That being the case, then we will meet the Qin army now! ”

"Order, 30,000 frontal cavalry and an army of 40,000 people on the two roads in the southwest will follow us and others to feint and attack the left army of the Qin people."

"It is necessary to make them feel the crisis on all sides."

"In this way, we can create the best opportunity for the Ming Ling Patriarch!"

"There are 20,000 people left, and after all the Qin people have focused their attention on the left side, they will immediately attack the right army of Great Qin with the Ming Ling Patriarch!"

To be cautious, after the arrangement.

The sword admonished again.

"If you find the other party in ambush halfway, don't fall in love."

"When you can leave quickly, the Qin people have no cavalry, and we are already invincible."

The words fell, and suddenly the entire Qiang formation moved.

Except for a few scouts who had gone to inform the other armies.

The frontal 50,000 light horsemen began to press forward again.

In front of the Qin army.

I looked at the Qiang people who were slowly accelerating and rushing towards the left side of the army.

Zhang Liang said.

"Do you want to take down our army on the left at any cost?"

"Where do they get their confidence?"

When the words fell, the Qiang people really began to accelerate and rush towards the left army.

At this moment, there was a scout in the rear suddenly in return.

"Report! The Qiang people had two armies around the rear of the army! ”

"It seems that we are going to attack the left army together!"

The scout's words immediately made everyone's eyes widen.

"The Qiang people are pouring out of the nest? Are they really planning to decide the outcome of this battle? ”

But it's too late to think about it at this moment.

The pressure of the left army being besieged on three sides was too great, and there was a risk of defeat.

The Chinese army must be close to assist in the defense.

All the soldiers began to give orders to adjust the direction of the crossbow phalanx and the crossbow cart.

Can just be adjusted.

Another rush sounded.

When everyone turned back, they saw that the mountains and forests a few miles away from the rear of the right army had also rushed out of the Qiang people.

But at this moment, the direction of the army's crossbow array has been aimed at the left side.

"Where is there time to guard against them!"

All the generals knew that they had been fooled.

Seeing that the 20,000 Qiang people approached with hideous faces.

In the rear of the right army, there were only 10,000 sharpmen armed with long swords.

In the face of the cavalry who use the terrain to speed up, I am afraid that even a pillar of incense will not be able to hold on!

The generals of the Qin army were all stunned.

They knew that the right army was finished.

All that can be done now is to crush the Qiang people who are attacking the left army.

That's how you can get a city back.

But when the generals turned around, they found that the main force of the Qiang people had turned around at the last moment.

The other party had no intention of rushing within the range of the crossbow arrows.

They just want to eat the right army.

Everyone present looked panicked.

Only Ying Xuan was the corner of his mouth that couldn't be controlled.

"Striking the West?"

"It's quite skillful."

Zhang Liang beside him also laughed.

"Play the art of war with us?"

"Don't you know that the territory of Great Qin is the birthplace of the art of war?"

Rear of the Right Army.

The faces of the 10,000 warriors guarding the back were full of panic.

No one expected that the Qiang people would go around here.

The road to the northwest has obviously been watched.

Where did these people come from?

No one answered them.

Only the hideous face of the Ming Ling Patriarch was constantly approaching.

At this speed, the sharps holding the long sword couldn't stop the other party at all.

As long as they tear a gap open, rush into the crossbow army formation.

Everyone knew it would be a wanton massacre.

The Ming Ling Patriarch was already trembling with excitement at this moment.

This invincible Great Qin, is it really about to be defeated in his own hands today?

In the distance, the patriarchs of the Qiang tribe after the feint couldn't help but clench the reins in their hands.

The sword also stopped at this time, staring at this scene deadly.

Seeing that the 20,000 light cavalry led by the patriarch of Mingling was only the last mile away from the crossbow array of the right army.

The remaining 20,000 light cavalry of the northern frontal army were also sprinting.

The right army was already unable to hide, and was attacked from both sides.

There is no doubt about the outcome.

No one would have thought that those right armies would be able to withstand the slaughter of cavalry on both sides.

The Qiang people were even smiling.

But at this moment.

The Ming Ling Patriarch, who took the lead, flew out of his horse without warning.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who followed behind him also made the same action one by one.

The neighing of the horses suddenly sounded, as if in great pain.

Everyone hurriedly looked at it and found out.

The flat snow collapsed at some point.

Deep ditches several feet deep spread across the area.

The upper part of the deep ditch is a continuous stream of tree branches.

It was covered with heavy snow, and there was not a trace of it in sight.

A galloping horse stepping on it will become a sharp weapon to cut off the horse's legs.

The 20,000 Qiang army almost rushed into a mile of less than a breath before they fell from their horses.

Miserable hiss echoed here.

Not a single horse was able to cross that area.

The corners of Ying Xuan's mouth curled.

As early as the first night before the snow fell, he sent a thousand men three miles outside the camp to dig out several such areas, just to prevent a sneak attack by the cavalry.

No superfluous nonsense.

Ying Xuan ordered in a cold voice.

"Soldiers, the time for revenge has come!"

"Today, we will avenge the villagers of Kansai Racecourse and the people of my Great Qin!"

"Kill me!"

The voice fell, and the strong crossbow phalanx that took the lead in adjusting the direction began to exert force.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

A rain of arrows made the screaming horses known.

Also shot and killed were nearly 10,000 Qiang cavalry.

In the distance, Jian Jian and the others were already stunned when they saw this scene.

"Withdraw! Withdraw immediately, that's a trap! ”

When the words fell, not only the remaining 10,000 Qiang people who had not yet rushed into the deep ditch area, they quickly turned around and fled behind them.

Even the two cavalry armies in the south of the left army quickly retreated.

I was afraid that I and the others would also be left behind under the terrible arrow rain.

In such weather, Jian Jian and the others were nervous and sweaty.

Patriarch Liu said with a flustered face.

"Luckily! Fortunately, the Qin people did not have horses. ”

"Otherwise, tens of thousands of soldiers will be buried here."

The rest of the patriarchs were also happy.

But at this time, in the direction of the southern jade valley, thousands of light horsemen finally came.

It's just that they didn't carry the news of victory as Jian Jian and the others thought.

Instead, they were all flustered, constantly looking back behind them.

Before it approached, he shouted at the Qiang army.

"Cavalry!"

"The cavalry of the Qin people!"

"We've been fooled! The Qin people have cavalry, and they are extremely powerful! ”

In fact, he doesn't want to shout, the Qiang people can also see it.

In the distance of these people, a large black cavalry quickly pursued.

They were holding a familiar black flag!

Jian Jian's eyes widened, and he didn't have time to think about why Great Qin still had so many cavalry!

He turned around and said.

"Withdraw! Evacuate to the northwest! ”

Patriarch Liu also shouted.

"With such heavy snow, no one can stop them, they can't catch up with us!"

But as soon as the words fell, the heavens seemed to respond to him.

The direction of their retreat.

The snow-white earth could not hide the dazzling light of the silver armor.

There is no need to be reminded, almost all the Qiang people saw the silver-armored cavalry that stood dazzlingly on the retreat at this moment.
