Looking at the Qin Army Water Village from afar, Xiang Rong couldn't help but ask: "Shangzhu Kingdom, why don't you take this opportunity to rush!" ”

"You only need a sailor, and you can make contributions if you want to!"

Although the Qin army had already responded, the sudden fire still caused a certain degree of confusion in the Qin army.

What's more, this fire forced the Qin army out of the water village, but there was no time to rectify the formation.

As long as an elite army raids, there is a chance to rush in before the Qin army reorganizes the array, and blossom in the middle!

What an opportunity!

If Xiang Rong's soldiers and horses are still there, Xiang Rong will definitely invite himself to be a pioneer to avenge his blood!

Xiang Yan shook his head: "If the Qin army bombs the camp, the general will make the sailors rush into battle." ”

"However, although the Qin army is in a panic now, it is still advancing and retreating."

"First use fireboats to attack our army to delay time and disrupt our army, and at the same time seize the time to re-array, so that when the vanguard of our army arrives, the Qin army should have the strength to fight."

"If our army is charging now, it can still make a profit, but it is difficult to defeat the Qin army."

"As far as the generals are concerned, it's worth the battle."

'It's not worth it for the manager.'

The use of lard to set fires was indeed a tactical choice.

If the Qin army followed Meng Tian's initial order to evade, Xiang Yan would wait until the fire eased a little to order the sailor to charge, taking the opportunity to defeat the Qin army's sailor and completely abolish the water warfare capability of Ying Cheng's department.

But after discovering that the Qin army had made the right response, Xiang Yan decisively abandoned the plan.

Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, every soldier is especially precious to the Chu army!

Xiang Yan earnestly taught: "Don't be greedy to defeat defeat, momentum is the most important thing!" ”

Xiang Rong bowed his hand thoughtfully: "Thank you for the teachings of the Zhuguo!" ”

Seeing that Xiang Rong had restrained the urge for revenge and could already think rationally, Xiang Yan couldn't help but smile with relief: "Ben will allocate you a thousand personal soldiers." ”

"Later, you are the vanguard!"

Xiang Rong smiled in surprise and threw his hand away: "Only! ”

The former army of the Chu Army's naval division stayed where they were and continued to shout.

But the night covered the soldiers and boats of the Chu army.

Even if the Qin army looked left and right in a panic, they couldn't see where the enemy was at all, so they could only clench their blades in their hands and wait anxiously for the upcoming battle.

But they didn't know that the main force of the Chu Army's naval division had already quietly gone down the river.

After continuing downstream for two miles, the Chu army's naval division docked, and a soldier wearing a black turban and Qin army leather armor got off the Chu army's ship.

Xiang Rong, who was wearing a leather armor of the Qin Army's sailor and wearing a crown of the Qin State, walked in front of all the soldiers, and kept shouting: "Roll in the water!" ”

"Don't just roll in the water, mud! It's all a little muddy! ”

"Yes, remember to put ash on your face!"

"There are also clothes, they are all burned with fire, these are all Qin Jun's clothes, cherish them very much!"

"Light so many torches, put them out!"

Taking advantage of the time for the soldiers to pick up, Xiang Rong turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, are you sure?" ”

Zhao Xiang, the waiter, said cautiously: "The humble is a member of the party, and he speaks the Qin language, and there will be no flaws in the conversation." ”

"But for the rest of the matter, I can only do my best!"

Xiang Rong nodded vigorously: "In this battle, I will protect you from peace." ”

"No matter whether they win or lose, the Xiang family should support Brother Zhao's whole family, and they will not slack off."

"Just ask Brother Zhao to use his life!"

Zhao Xiang solemnly bowed his hand: "Thank you, General!" ”

Xiang Rong smiled, took a step back and saluted: "Now, you are the general." ”

"Please give the order of two or five hundred lords!"

Zhao Xiang smiled and shouted loudly: "The whole army is in a hurry!" ”

Hearing Zhao Xiang's order, the thousands of Chu troops who had just finished the formation followed the habit of rushing at the speed of the Chu army's rapid march, and ran wildly!

Zhao Xiang hurriedly said: "It's too fast! It's so fast! Slow down! ”

"Even if the Qin army marches in a hurry, it can't run so fast!"

Xiang Rong hurriedly shouted: "Slow down!" ”

"Take this as the front, don't cross the general!"

Under Xiang Rong's control, the Chu army awkwardly ran towards Deng Cheng at the speed of the Qin army's rapid march.

——

The second quarter of sunrise (5:30).

At this moment, the city wall of Dengcheng is surrounded by torches, and the county commander Wu Cun, the county Cheng Huangping, and the county lieutenant Eji have all stood on the city gate tower.

Looking at the firelight in the west, the expressions of the three were quite solemn.

Wu Cun sighed softly: "I thought that Chang'an Jun would lead the main force to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Chu army, and then make the Chu army retreat in a hurry." ”

"I never thought that the Chu army was just retreating, but today it suddenly arrived, and it burned our army's water village!"

Huang Ping shook his head: "Chang'an Jun burned Dahong Mountain, which is the main force of the total annihilation of the Chu army, but it also exposes the fact that this place is not the main force of the Qin army. ”

"The two generals are also very vigilant against this, and they have been living in the water village for the past few days, personally inspecting."

"It's a pity that the general knows the danger but the soldiers don't know the danger!"

"After a fierce battle and such battle losses, no matter how much the two generals strengthened their vigilance, the soldiers did not have the strength to cooperate."

"Now that the water village has been burned, our army's sailors are worried!"

"If the sailor falls, this battle will be difficult to fight!"

When the words fell, Huang Ping sighed, and his worries about the country and the people were overflowing.

Eji frowned slightly: "It's too early to say that it's worrying." ”

"On the water division, there are two captains in charge."

"The only thing we have to do is to strictly guard Deng City!"

Huang Ping restrained his gloom and agreed with his head: "What the county lieutenant said is very true!" ”

As he spoke, scattered fires suddenly jumped into the eyes of the three of them, followed by ethereal voices.

"Run!"

"Deng Cheng is ahead, we are saved!"

"The robes are all working hard, and you can rest when you enter Deng City!"

Wu Cun and the three of them glanced at each other, and they were all solemn, and Eji directly ordered: "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

"As soon as Ben gives the order, shoot him immediately!"

Under the vigilant gaze of the soldiers in the city, a gray-faced rout army was getting closer and closer to the gate of Dengcheng.

Holding a bow in his hand, Eji picked up a fire arrow and lit it with a torch, and then drew his bow and arrow in front of the fastest rout.

"Boom~"

With the sound of a bowstring, a flaming arrow fell down the wall.

Eji shouted angrily: "Stop! ”

"Whoever crosses this arrow will be killed!"

Four thousand defenders chanted in unison:

"Whoever crosses this arrow will be killed!"

Under the strong threat of Eji, the rout army had to stop, and it was noisy.

Zhao Xiang squeezed out the chaotic army, held a torch to his face, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Captain Exian!" ”

"But in front of the county lieutenant?"

"The last general is two or five hundred lords under the command of Meng Duwei, and the party is broad!"

"Do you still remember the last general!"

Zhao Xiang put the torch in his face again, but as if his face was burned by a spark, he quickly pulled the torch away, and then cautiously approached again.

Zhao Xiang looked very hard to illuminate his appearance.

But the flickering light of the fire made it harder for the people of the city to see his face.

Eji didn't care about Zhao Xiang's performance at all, and replied in a cold voice without any emotion:

"No impression!"

"And today is not bright, and it is wartime, if the five hundred lords have a military order on Tuesday, they can be put into the hanging basket."

"If not, then immediately lead the troops and horses to camp outside the city, and Hugh wants to get close to my Dengcheng!"

Eji knew the name Zhou Kuo.

also knew that Zhou Kuo was indeed the two or five hundred lords under Mengbian's command.

But so what?

First of all, no matter whether it is Zhou Kuo who is standing outside the city or not, even if it is really Zhou Kuo's face, Eji will not open the door!

Zhao Xiang shouted anxiously: "Lieutenant of Exian County! On the occasion of today's Pingdan, the Chu army attacked our army's water village! ”

"Our army's water village was burned, and the captain of our army ordered us and other soldiers who lost the boat to go to Dengcheng to prevent the Chu army from attacking Dengcheng."

"The last general gathered the rout army and broke through the blockade of the Chu army, and finally approached Dengcheng."

"I'm tired of the county lieutenant opening the city gate!"

"The pursuers are behind you!"

"After this battle, the last general will bow to the county lieutenant of E, and never forget the help of the county lieutenant!"

Eji accentuated his tone and asked again: "Is there a military order?!" ”

Zhao Xiang shouted angrily: "The Chu army sneak attack!" Sneak attack! ”

"Where did Captain Meng come from to write military orders!"

"Our army is a lost boat and scattered army, how to receive orders!"

Zhao Xiang said a lot, highlighting the anxiety of the battle situation and explaining that it was reasonable to have no military orders.

But these words were condensed into one sentence in Oji's ears.

I, no military order, open the door!

Eji immediately wanted to refuse.

In the next moment, Eji resisted the impulse and looked at Wu Cun and Huang Ping: "What do you two think?" ”

Wu Cun frowned: "Although there is no military order in this army, listening to the accent of the general who leads the army is indeed correct." ”

"There are only 1,000 people in this department, and there are pursuers in the rear."

"If this department is annihilated by the Chu army because I can't wait to open the city gate, it will be difficult to explain to Captain Cen and Captain Meng in the future!"

Wu Cun said cautiously: "The two of you should know that Captain Meng Du is the grandson of the late general Meng Fu and the son of the general Meng Wu, and the old troops are all over Daqin. ”

"If I offend Captain Mengdu, my career will be hindered in the future!"

Huang Ping said without hesitation: "Can't open!" ”

"The military order we received was to strictly guard Dengcheng and close the city gates."

"How can you open the gates of a city because of a rout!"

"Even if General Mengwu came to ask in person, this official said the same thing!"

Eji looked at it and said, "This official thinks so too." ”

Seeing that Huang Ping and Eji both said this, Wu Cun could only nod: "Then it will be according to what the two of them said." ”

Eji immediately shouted at the city: "No order is no order!" ”

"Leave the city gate quickly and go to rest!"

Zhao Xiang pointed at Eji with a horsewhip in his hand: "You! ”

"Alas!"

"Let's go!"

In the end, Zhao Xiang couldn't say anything cruel, so he could only take his corporal to sit down on the spot about a mile outside the West City Gate.

However, Zhao Xiang's department had just sat down when a large number of torches suddenly jumped out of the horizon.

Under the illumination of the firelight, a flag with the word "Qu" looks particularly dazzling in the firelight!

Zhao Xiang turned over and shouted: "The rear army will turn to the front army and form a phalanx!" ”

Thousands of defeated soldiers hurriedly got up, and gathered into the most basic infantry phalanx of the Qin army with heavy legs.

Spears were erected and were facing the incoming Chu army.

However, the front army of the Chu army suddenly cracked in front of the rout, and surrounded Zhao Xiang's troops from the left and right directions!

Zhao Xiang's shout was a little more resolute: "Soldiers! ”

"For the sake of Great Qin, fight to the death!"

Hundreds of defeated troops who basically mastered the Qin language roared in unison:

"For the sake of Great Qin, fight to the death!"

Listening to this death-defying roar, Wu Cun couldn't help but look at Eji and Huang Ping:

"I'm waiting, if we really want to sit back and watch the whole friendly army be wiped out!"
