How to plow thousands of miles for the first emperor's cub Section 474
Li Mu put down the binoculars, got off the chariot, and turned over on his horse: "Come, while you are still young, follow the Qin army to charge together." This time we will not charge in person, and the next time we send troops, we will have to stand on the chariot and watch. ”
Meng Tian and other lieutenants laughed heartily and got on their horses one after another.
Each of them had spears, spears, and knives in their hands, which were the most suitable weapons for horse warfare.
"Boys, charge with me!"
Under the cover of the deputy general and his own soldiers, Li Mu rushed out with the heavy cavalry.
His tactics were somewhat similar to Xiang Yan's, both of which were heavy cavalry charges, then light cavalry followed, and then infantry phalanx charged.
Xiang Yan also got on the war horse, watching Li Mu rushing over, the long soldiers in his hands sweating.
Obviously, the tactics of both sides are similar, why did the Chu army collapse at the first touch, but the Qin army won one after another?
He couldn't figure it out after this short contact.
Maybe he could figure it out if he thought about it a little more, but now he can't think about it anymore.
Li Mu held a saber in his hand, and instead of shooting from the face, he directly rushed into the enemy formation with the heavy cavalry.
Ordinary cavalry mostly use bows and arrows, but Li Mu's cavalry is well-equipped, and there will be no problem if the bow and arrow on the opposite side hits the armor. They had stirrups early, and they were already very good at fighting on horses, and the weapons in their hands were also long weapons suitable for fighting on horses.
Therefore, when the Chu army was chiseled through and the long-range attack was more chaotic, Li Mu gave up using bows and arrows, and directly used cavalry and infantry to engage in short combat.
Li Mu and others were interspersed in the infantry phalanx of the Chu army, and the Chu army did not dare to use bows and crossbows, for fear of shooting their own people, so they could only use the weapons in their hands to fight with Li Mu and others on horseback.
At this moment, the potential energy brought by the war horse has become a more terrifying weapon than the weapons in the hands of the cavalry, and no soldier can resist the charge of the war horse.
The strength of the cavalry can easily cut off the bones that were originally difficult to cut while standing, under the potential energy of the galloping horses.
Cavalrymen who were trained to fight on horseback and had stirrups were tortured and killed ordinary foot soldiers.
Xiang Yan saw this and could only personally lead the light cavalry to engage Li Mu.
But Li Mu was actually a little more flexible than Xiang Yan, the main general of the Chu State, in the chaotic military formation of the Chu army.
He was always able to avoid Xiang Yan's cavalry and plunged headlong into another pile of chaotic Chu soldiers.
Xiang Yan chased after Li Mu's horse's buttocks, and the more she chased, the more frightened she became.
He could see that although Li Mu kept the long knife in his hand, he seemed to be able to use two things, and he could always observe the weak points of the Chu army's military formation, and always change the route with the people behind him.
Someone can charge back and forth in the enemy's formation?! Is this still human!!
Xiang Yan followed behind Li Mu, obviously he could see Li Mu's back, obviously only a little distance away from Li Mu, as if he could touch Li Mu with just another whip on the horse's buttocks, but he was getting more and more desperate in his heart.
With such a little distance, why has he tried his best, but it feels farther and farther away, and he will never be able to reach it?!
In this world, is there a more outstanding general than Li Mu?
Light cavalry charge in the enemy formation, repeatedly charge, hahahaha, who else can do it?!
Xiang Yan collapsed.
If Zhu Xiang learned of Xiang Yan's collapse, he would pat Xiang Yan on the shoulder and tell him not to despair too much, because his grandson Xiang Yu could also do it.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu and Li Mu are not people of the same era, and it is impossible to follow Xiang Yan to confront Li Mu.
What's more, if Li Mu met Xiang Yu, he probably wouldn't play any riding and chopping, but would use his troops to kill Xiang Yu.
Now Xiang Yan doesn't know that she also has a talented grandson named Xiang Yu.
His horse followed behind Li Mu, slowing down and slowing down, and finally stood in place.
"General......" The adjutant also stopped imperceptibly.
Everywhere there was the screams of the Chu army.
When two armies are in battle, it only takes one contact to decide the outcome of the war.
Although the Chu army still has troops, no matter who can see that the Chu army has been defeated.
The elite army in Xiang Yan's hands, which was mainly his private soldiers, had been defeated.
Xiang Yan closed his eyes, his face full of despair.
He was wrong, he shouldn't have confronted the Qin army head-on.
The Qin army forced him to fight with the method of agitation, which was to let the Chu army attack the strengths of the Qin army with its shortcomings.
What are the strengths of the Qin army? The fighting quality was much higher than that of the Chu army.
What are the strengths of the Chu army? It's a good location.
It's a pity that even if he does it again, he may still fall for it. Because he also has light cavalry and heavy cavalry, he also thinks that he is a general at the same level as Li Mu, and he doesn't believe that the fighting quality of the Chu army is so much worse than that of the Qin army.
Li Mu didn't seem to have a plan, but in fact, the plan was fiercely rooted in the weakness of his and Chu soldiers' human nature.
This battle doesn't seem to be over yet, but when he was hit by Li Muji's general, it was actually over.
At that time, I was already defeated!
"General, hurry up and gather the remnants of the army, it's too late!" The adjutant general reminded, "Xiangcheng has not been broken yet!" We're still in time to contact other county guards and feudal lords! ”
Xiang Yan recovered from despair and collapse.
He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, the state of Chu hasn't lost yet!" ”
I, Xiang Yan, lost to Li Mu, but Chu has not lost to Qin yet!
Xiang Yan immediately gave up and continued to pursue Li Mu, and Ming Jin withdrew his troops.
When the Chu army heard the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops, he perked up and began to break through.
Li Mu had already rushed behind Chu Jun.
He shook his slashing arm, wiped a handful of blood from his face, and a smile resurfaced on his indifferent face during the battle.
"Xiang Yan seems to have been flustered for a while, and now it's only Mingjin, it's a little late." Li Mudao, "Meng Tian, what should I do next?" ”
Meng Tian said loudly: "Our army has arrived at the predetermined position, surround three sides, put one side, and let the Chu army attack Xiangcheng!" ”
Li Mu smiled approvingly and said, "Okay, give the order." ”
Meng Tian rolled up his sleeves, his butt protruded left and right, squeezed down the other colleagues who wanted to grab him, and beat the war drums with drumsticks.
Close, close, close!
When the Qin army was charging, it had already completed the exchange of positions with the Chu army.
The heavy cavalry and light cavalry were in the original position of the Chu army, and the infantry formations were on both flanks, and the place where the Qin army was originally deployed was vacant and became an escape route.
When Xiang Yanmingjin withdrew his troops, the Chu army naturally broke through to the place with the least number of people, and the rout army rushed towards the place where the Qin army's pockets were confiscated without hesitation.
After Xiang Yan rushed out of a distance with the soldiers, he realized that something was wrong.
In front of him, there was a horizontal strip of water.
"The Qin army deliberately drove us to death?" General Chu gritted his teeth, "General, you can only fight with your back!" ”
"No, look over there, there's a pontoon!" Someone said sharply.
When he saw the pontoon bridge, many Chu soldiers had already climbed onto the pontoon bridge and ran towards the opposite bank.
Xiang Yan was stunned. How can there be a pontoon bridge on Yingshui?
Soon, the terrain near the battlefield flashed in his mind, and he smacked his horse's hooves.
"No, you can't pass! The whole army obeyed the order and was not allowed to cross the river! Xiang Yan was shocked.
He guessed Li Mu's calculation!
What's behind Yingshui? It's Xiangcheng!
With so many routs attacking Xiangcheng, Li Mu wanted his Chu soldiers to attack the city for the Qin army!
But people have seen a way to survive in a desperate situation, and there are still people who have already embarked on this way of life, and the order of the lord cannot withstand the desire to survive.
Xiang Yan kept ordering the Chu army not to cross the river, but the Chu army rushed onto the pontoon bridge faster.
Xiang Yan ordered his guards to kill the Chu soldiers who did not obey the order, and guarded the pontoon bridge to prevent the Chu soldiers from continuing to cross the river.
The Chu soldiers on the pontoon bridge fled even more desperately, for fear of being caught by Xiang Yan; The Chu soldiers, who did not rush onto the pontoon bridge, saw the comrades who had successfully escaped behind the Chu generals, and then looked back at the black-pressed Qin army, and their hearts were crossed, and they rushed towards Xiang Yan with the weapon in their hands.
The way to life is in sight, what about the general? Fight with him!
This wide and sturdy pontoon bridge specially built by Li Mu has become a battlefield for Xiang Yan's personal soldiers and ordinary Chu soldiers! The two sides were red-eyed at the mouth of the pontoon, and they couldn't tell friend or foe anymore!
When Xiang Yan blocked the Chu soldiers from crossing the river, he also ordered the bridge to be burned.
But the pontoon bridge was built on water, and it was already difficult to burn. Li Mu deliberately built it very firmly, and most of Xiang Yan's time was spent building bridges. Under the attack of the Chu soldiers, it was difficult for them to destroy the pontoon bridge in a short time.
Li Mu led the Qin soldiers to slowly press, like a dark cloud.
The Chu army gathered at the mouth of the pontoon bridge, and the Qin army easily surrounded the Chu army at the mouth of the pontoon bridge. The pockets are tightly sealed, and only the pontoon is left to survive.
This road of life was guarded by Xiang Yan, and the Chu soldiers were not allowed to pass.
Xiang Yan's eyes turned red.
He was a fierce general. But in this battle, there were actually more Chu soldiers who died in his hands than Qin soldiers!
Seeing that the battle ahead was slowing down a little, Li Mu ordered the Qin army to fire bows and crossbows in unison, once again casting a layer of death fear on the Chu army.
Then, he asked the Chu people in the Qin army to shout in the local accents of all parts of the Chu State: "General Xiang, are you going to force your comrades to death!" ”
General Xiang, are you trying to force your comrades to death?
General Xiang, do you want the Chu people who fought with you to die?
General Xiang, are you crazy? actually fought against the Chu people!
Quickly open your eyes and see how many Chu people you have killed!
Chu Yin was higher than the other, and each sound was more poignant than the other, and it spread from the Qin army to the ears of the Chu army's rout.
The rout of the Chu army couldn't help but ask their generals with red eyes, why did they have to stay on their only way to survive? Why don't you kill the Qin people, you want to kill their group of comrades who live and die together?!
General Xiang, open your eyes and see, you are surrounded by dead Chu comrades! Do you dare to open your eyes to see it?!
"General, let's run away too."
Xiang Yan's lieutenant generals and guards couldn't hold on, and they cried.
Xiang Yan put down his weapon blankly, and the Chu soldiers rushed past him like a tide, rushing towards the pontoon bridge.
