Chu army command platform.

Seeing that the Qin army only shot the Chu army with a small number of elite archers, Qu Huan frowned deeply: "The Qin army has few arrows? ”

Shooting the Chu army first with elite archers can greatly reduce the consumption of arrows, allowing more crossbowmen to take turns.

But that's the only benefit.

There is no need to think about accuracy at all when firing diffusely, and it is possible to shoot at the maximum range of the crossbow jammed.

However, point shooting has high requirements for accuracy, and can only achieve the effective range of the bow and crossbow.

Even if they stood on the top of the city, the range of most elite archers was only fifty or sixty feet.

Therefore, most of the elite archers are used for diffuse replenishment, and will not be used as the main output.

Elite archers as the main force are usually just a desperate move when the defenders are short of arrows.

But the Qin army's arrows were so few that they were overstretched as soon as the war began?

Xiang Yan said thoughtfully: "Ben Jiang remembered an old man. ”

In the midst of a deep groan, Jing Qi's department had already protected the crossbowmen of the Chu army to step into the city of Anling one hundred and fifty zhang.

At this moment, the north gate of Anling City suddenly opened.

The three thousand Qin army crossbowmen suddenly stood up and threw arrows towards the Chu army formation without hesitation.

Just a wave of round shooting, more than 300 Chu army crossbowmen spilled blood on the battlefield!

Frightened, Jing Yu's subordinates panicked and subconsciously raised their shields above their heads, for fear that they would become the next unlucky guy to be shot.

Qu Huan's eyes froze: "The Qin army is seducing our army into the best range of the Qin crossbow?!" ”

The range of the Qin crossbow is nearly a hundred zhang farther than that of the Chu crossbow.

When the crossbowmen of the Chu army could reach the city wall of Anling City, the crossbowmen of the Chu army were already within the range of the crossbowmen of the Qin army, and it was difficult to retreat!

Xiang Yan immediately ordered: "Summoning the headquarters of Jing Qi, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and let the Qin army go deeper." ”

"Herald Captain Zhaohuang, lead the army to press forward!"

There are arrows on the top of the head, and there are elites in front of them.

The front army of Jing Qi's department was simply unable to resist the double pressure brought by the Qin army.

Before Xiang Yan's order was issued through the heralds, the front army of Jing Qi's department had already collapsed.

The Zhaohuang department had just set off, and the Su Jiao department had already broken into the military formation of the Jing Qi department.

Casualties soar!

Xiang Yan suddenly smiled: "No wonder this will look familiar." ”

"Chang'anjun's tactics are quite a bit like the shadow of General Pang."

Xiang Yan and Qu Huan both participated in the Fifth Five-Kingdom War against Qin, and had been Pang Xuan's generals, so they were quite familiar with Pang Xuan's tactical concepts.

Now that Xiang Yan broke it, Qu Huan suddenly said: "Don't hesitate to climb the city with the enemy, and take the initiative to invite the enemy to melee combat." ”

"The city is the shield of the defenders, and it is also advantageous for attacking and defending, replacing defense with attack, attacking with defense, not stingy with danger, relying on the rotation of attack and defense of the city."

"This is indeed General Pang's style!"

"But how can the tactics of Qin State An Jun have the shadow of General Pang!"

If Ying Chengcheng was from another background, looking at his combat methods would make people suspect that he was Pang Xuan's disciple.

But Ying Chengcheng is a child of the Great Qin royal family!

Since the beginning of the fight against Yingcheng, Pang Xuan has been a Zhao general, and he is even more in charge of attacking Qin.

How could he possibly teach a disciple from the Qin royal family?

Xiang Yan looked at Ying Chengyun standing at the head of Anling City, and his eyes were quite cautious: "General Pang can't be the army of Chang'an Jun. ”

"Chang'anjun may have stolen what he learned when he was fighting with General Pang!"

Qu Huan was shocked: "With only a few months of fighting, how much of General Pang's tactics can you learn?" ”

"How ridiculous!"

The battle between the two armies is not a battle between two people.

The whole picture of the enemy army is not observable, and the thoughts of the enemy generals are not obtainable.

Without seeing the whole picture and without explanation, how can we learn the tactics of the enemy generals?

Isn't that a joke!

Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "But this is the only reasonable explanation. ”

"Hu Xuan and other disciples of General Pang are now working for Zhao, and it is impossible for them to teach Pang Xuan to Chang'an Jun."

Qu Huan was dumbfounded.

Indeed, although Ying Chengcheng is very outrageous in the battle and stealing the division.

But the generals of Zhao State are even more outrageous when they become teachers of the prince of Qin State!

Xiang Yan looked at Ying Cheng, who was standing on the gate tower of Anling City, and his voice was solemn: "For the long-term plan of my Great Chu, this battle should kill Chang'anjun at all costs!" ”

Qu Huan was a little surprised: "Even if our army loses its troops and loses its generals, and even if it is defeated in this battle, Shangzhu State does not hesitate to kill Chang'anjun?" ”

Xiang Yan asked rhetorically: "Such a general, does Qu Sima dare to let him grow up?" ”

"Today's Chang'an Jun has destroyed Han and Wei in a row."

"But he's only eighteen years old!"

"He's still learning and growing!"

"Qu Sima can dare to imagine how terrifying this son will be when he is seventy or eighty years old?!"

At the end of the Warring States period, the average age of the commanders of each country was quite high.

Forty or fifty-year-old generals can be praised as young and promising, seventy or eighty-year-old generals abound, and only generals such as Pang Xuan, Yang Duanhe, and other generals who are still fighting in their nineties will be called old generals.

And Ying Chengcheng is only eighteen years old!

It is said that he also knows how to heal!

If no accident happens, it will not be a problem for Ying Chengcheng to fight for Daqin for another fifty years.

And after 50 years of experience accumulation and learning and growth, how terrifying should Ying Chengcheng be?

Xiang Yan didn't even dare to think about it!

Qu Huan's voice was a little bitter: "This official, I don't dare to think about it." ”

Qu Huan didn't dare to imagine, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Because there was no need to imagine it at all, Qu Huan's mind automatically appeared with the appearance of a seventy-year-old Bai Qi's figure.

With the growth rate of Ying Chengcheng and his steady development for fifty years, it is entirely possible for him to grow into the next Wu Anjun!

Xiang Yan's voice turned solemn: "Today's Chang'an Jun has destroyed Han and Wei in a row. ”

"Don't look at him as only eighteen years old, he is already a general in the world!"

"Even if the troops led by this general are several times that of Chang'an Jun, what qualifications does this general have to dare to win?"

"If you don't dare to say that you will win, why should you regard defeat as a price?"

"In the general's opinion, as long as we can kill Chang Anjun, no matter what the price is, our army will be a big victory!"

In the face of Ying Chengcheng, Xiang Yan was not frightened, but her vigilance was already full.

Xiang Yan didn't regard Ying Chengcheng as an eighteen-year-old general at all, but a famous general who needed him to go all out to fight!

After Qu Huan was silent for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Shangzhu Kingdom is worried that the king is unwilling?" ”

Xiang Yan didn't need to tell Qu Huan about her inner vigilance against Ying Chengcheng.

Since Xiang Yan said it, he must have a plan.

Xiang Yan nodded: "I wouldn't have been able to know if the king could understand how much of a threat Chang'an Jun posed to my Great Chu. ”

"Fifty years later, the general is likely to have died of old age, and how many people can I have in the current general?"

"Leaving such a catastrophe to the generals who don't know what to do in the future, Ben will be worried."

"Therefore, Ben will hope that Qu Sima can play with Ben General!"

Thinking of the ability of the next generation of generals of the Chu State, Xiang Yan said angrily: "There was Wu Anjun in the past, and now there is Chang'an Jun, why does the Qin State have many generals!" ”

Why?

Qu Huan knew it very well in his heart.

If Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Meng Fu and other generals are prominent in the Chu State, they don't want to be the main generals in their lives!

Because they are neither from the royal family, nor from the old aristocracy.

What's the use of them even if they're capable?

They could only be used as cattle and horses for the nobles.

The strong upper-level elites of the Chu State do not allow such a powerful person to exist!

Characters such as Ying Chengcheng may appear in the Chu State for a few moments, and then die due to various accidents after the triumphant return to the court.

The stubborn old aristocrats of the Chu State can't allow such an awesome figure to appear in the Chu royal family!

After screening one standard after another and infighting, how could the Chu State give birth to too many generals?

Sighing lightly in his heart, Qu Huan said solemnly: "Please go to the Zhuguo Seal to play the seal, and this official will attach a seal letter!" ”

Xiang Yan bowed sincerely: "Thank you!" ”

reached an agreement with his deputy and determined the main goal of this battle, and a big stone in Xiang Yan's heart fell to the ground.

Seeing that Su Jiao's headquarters had broken into the center of Jing Jiao's headquarters, Xiang Yan ordered in a deep voice: "Order Jing Jiao's headquarters, encircle the two wings, and cooperate with Zhaoyuan's headquarters to encircle and kill this Qin army!" ”

Seeing that the flag was shaving, Jing Qi scolded secretly: "Do you want our army to besiege this Qin army?" ”

"This unit is definitely the elite of the Qin army!"

Scolding is scolding, but the order has been issued, what can Jing Qi do?

Jing Yu immediately stopped drinking: "The soldiers stepped forward and defended the battle line!" ”

During the drinking order, Jing Qi rode his horse and personally led his soldiers to meet Su Jiao's department.

"Captain of the Chu Army?"

Wiping the blood from the barrel of the gun with his bottom, Su Jiao's eyes lit up as he looked at Jing Qi, who was getting closer and closer.

The two or five hundred lords are still only middle and high-level generals, but the lieutenant is a high-level general who can independently perform tactical tasks.

Therefore, it is a big threshold to go from two or five hundred lords to captains, and many generals will not be able to cross this threshold in their lifetime.

After the Battle of Xiuyu City and the Battle of Daliang City, Su Jiao's military achievements have accumulated a lot, but he still can't complete the leap in identity.

"But if you kill another captain, you will be able to get the title of captain, right?"

Licking his dry lips, Su Jiao clenched his spear tightly and shouted angrily: "The generals of this army are ahead, robes, charge with the generals!" ”

In the midst of the roar, Su Jiao rushed forward, and Jing Qi was also leading his troops forward.

Fifty zhang!

Thirty zhang!

Twenty zhang!

The distance between Su Jiao and Jing Qi is getting closer and closer, and Su Jiao can already see from a distance that the position of the commander is beckoning to him!

However, just when Su Jiao approached Jing Jiao's body ten zhang in front of him, he suddenly heard a broken shout: "The front army gives way!" ”

With Jing Qi's order, the Chu army that was blocking between Jing Qi and Su Jiao suddenly scattered to both sides.

Su Jiao was able to face the scenery directly, but Su Jiao's heart was not the slightest bit excited.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Su Jiao quickly pulled back and shouted: "Shield!" ”

As soon as the cheers fell, Su Jiao saw Jing Yu take out a short hand crossbow from his waist.

On both sides of Jing Qi's side, five hundred family soldiers took off their crossbows from their waists like Jing Qi.

Holding the crossbow in his left hand and the long wooden pole behind the crossbow in his right hand, Jing Yu shouted: "Volley!" ”

Su Jiao's pupils contracted suddenly, and he hissed and roared: "The whole army is short!" Shield!!! ”

During the shouting, Su Jiao rolled on a donkey regardless of his image and rolled back into the Qin army's formation.

Before the shield hand was in place, Jing Yu had already raised his crossbow to aim in the direction of the Qin army, and his right hand suddenly pulled the long wooden pole.

The crossbow teeth at the top of the pole jam the bowstring and pull it apart.

When the baffle hidden in the long pole hits the end copper pillar, the baffle is warped, the crossbow teeth fall, and the bowstring hooked on the wooden pole is instantly scattered!

The two arrows hidden in the crossbow machine were pushed by the bowstring and shot towards the Qin army!

Although only 500 soldiers under Jing Yuan's command were equipped with hand crossbows, one hundred and two crossbow arrows were fired in just one salvo!

And that's not all.

The moment the arrow was fired, Jing Yu's right hand suddenly pushed the wooden pole back into place.

The baffle returned to its place, the teeth gripped the bowstring again, and the bolts in the receiver had fallen into the crossbow machine under the force of gravity.

Looking at Su Jiao coldly with both eyes, Jing Yu pulled the wooden pole hard again!

The military system and court system of the Chu State are different from those of the other six countries, and Cheese thinks that it is too difficult to remember several sets of official names, and Qin and Chu have many official positions with the same name and disagreement, which is easy to be confused, so this book is very similar to the official positions of the Qin State to express the official titles, and the official positions such as Ling Yin and other officials whose rights are different from those of the Qin State are expressed with the original official titles, of course, this is the personal opinion of Cheese, if you prefer to see the original official system of the countries, you can leave a message to tell the Cheese, The cheese will be adjusted again!
