Chapter 433: Luring the enemy deeper will never go out of style!
East of Echeng.
Qu Che opened his hands, laughed loudly and stepped forward quickly: "Brother Wan!"
Captain Qu Wan also showed a happy smile and hugged Qu Che hard: " Brother Che!"
Qu Che patted Qu Wan on the back: "I never thought that the clan would ask you to lead troops and horses to reinforce."
"The young man from the past is now a captain."
"And when you first became a captain, you had more soldiers and horses under your command than brother Zhi Nai. This is a good sign!"
Qu Wan said humbly: "Thanks to the great love of the clan leader, I have just given you this opportunity."
"The Zhao'an army under my command are all thieves. It is really difficult to compare with the elite soldiers under Brother Che."
br>"Before I went on the expedition, the clan leader had spoken in advance. After I reunited with Brother Che, all my troops and horses were placed under Brother Che's command."
After a pause, Qu Wan said in a low voice: "The patriarch also said that the king quickly pacified nearly a hundred thousand bandits in a short period of time. This is certainly because of the king's righteousness, but it is also true that the king did not prepare in advance. Impossible. "
"The king's edict is for the nobles, but he also intends to gain military power."
"Brother Che, please try to keep our edict. Anjun, and at the same time weaken the king's command to Anjun."
Qu Che frowned slightly: "Do other people know about this?"
Qu Wan nodded: "The clan leader has already told me. The people agreed on this matter.”
"What the common people want is to avoid the king's other thoughts as much as possible on the premise of ensuring victory in this battle."
When a large number of thieves accepted the imperial edict of Chu King, the nobles I immediately realized something was wrong!
The fundamental reason why the nobles were able to resist the successive reforms of so many generations of Chu kings, and even changed the kings of Chu many times, was the asymmetry in military power between the kings of Chu and the nobles.
Now, King Chu of Chu actually wants to get involved in the military power, so that’s okay!
The nobles wished they could immediately destroy all the thieves and bandits that King Chu had brought to Cuo Zhaoan.
But unfortunately, there were a large number of soldiers of various ethnic groups in the Chu army in this battle.
So even if the nobles intend to use war to weaken the power of Chu King Fu Chu, they first need to ensure that the battle can be won.
Otherwise, what the King of Chu would have lost would have been a group of thieves who had just been ordered to peace, but what they would have lost would have been members of their own family!
Qu Che nodded lightly: "Victory is the most important. The rest is the best efforts of the brothers."
"The bandits in Zhao'an, my Qu family, are certainly led by brother Wan, but Wan Di also needs to obey Shangzhuguo’s command.”
"If we take too many actions and annoy the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Shangzhu Kingdom will deliberately order my Qu family to order Anjun to die, and the clan can only do nothing."
Qu Wan nodded repeatedly. : "Brother knows."
Conversations like Qu Che and Qu Wan were heard among the generals of various tribes.
But only the dialogue between the two brothers Qu Che and Qu Wan could no longer continue.
Just because the east gate of Hubei city suddenly opened, more than 8,000 Qin troops poured out of the east gate and rushed toward Qu's Zhao'an army, which was not yet stable.
Qu Wan couldn't help but look panic in his eyes: "Brother Che, what should we do!"
"The Qin army is coming towards our army!"
Qu Che said in a deep voice: "There is no need to panic."< br>
“Now that our army has not stabilized its foothold and its camp has not yet been established, it is natural for the Qin army to take advantage of the situation and charge and kill.”
“Order!”
"Qu Wan's front troops form a gun formation, and the left and right armies protrude from the sides to form a pocket formation."
"Order my troops to form a square formation, with the tanks concentrated on the right wing, ready for reinforcements at any time!"
While the flag was waving, Qu Che's troops quickly formed an array.
However, Qu Wan's troops, who had received almost no formal military training, were in a mess and could not complete the formation.
Seeing the Qin army getting closer and closer to his troops, Qu Wan's troops became more and more anxious.
However, the more urgent it is, the more chaotic it will be!
Seeing this scene from a distance, Li Xin laughed out loud: "No wonder Lord Chang'an said that these 300,000 Zhao'an troops are all a rabble."
"It is even right to say that they are a rabble. The slander of the mob!”
“The right wing speeds up the charge to gain military merit!”
Li Xin’s Qin army also smiled and shouted excitedly:
"Get military merit!"
The charioteer on the right raised his whip and threw it hard at the horse's butt.
Ten heavy chariots began to speed up, quickly passed the front army, and, surrounded by thousands of infantry, crashed into Qu Wan's front army!
Four tall horses and a chariot weighing more than one ton gave all Zhao'an troops a sense of oppression like Mount Tai weighing them down.
Even ordinary regular troops need the pressure of the supervising team to maintain their position in front of the chariot.
Not to mention a group of thieves who had just been ordered to be safe!
"The Qin army is coming! They are coming to kill!"
"We accepted the imperial edict to find a way to survive, not to seek death!"
" Get out of the way! I'm not in the front, let me go back!"
"The supervising team is awesome!"
< br>
The already chaotic Zhao'an army became even more chaotic.
Thousands of soldiers were pushing and shouting, and no one wanted to stand in front. Even the supervising team scolded them in every possible way, but it had no effect!
Fang Ming, the commander of the two or five hundred men on the right wing, saw this and ordered without hesitation: "Prepare the crossbows!"
While speaking, twenty chariot soldiers all picked up the hanging crossbows. A repeating crossbow on a bow.
Estimating the distance, Fang Ming shouted: "Let go!"
While shouting, Fang Ming also held the crossbow in his left hand and pulled the lever up and down at full speed with his right hand.
“Boom boom boom~~~”
The sound of bow strings exploding is endless.
Two hundred crossbow arrows were sprayed out within ten breaths, setting off a metal storm in front of the battle body!
Although the arrow of the repeating crossbow is short and weak, it can be easily blocked by leather armor.
But the Zhao'an army is composed of thieves and bandits. How many of them can afford to wear armor?
Just one metal storm took the lives of more than sixty Zhao'an soldiers.
This kind of battle damage is of no consequence to the regular army. It can only open a gap for the Qin army.
But when it comes to Zhaoan Jun, it is fatal!
"Ah!!! I was hit by an arrow!" "The Qin army is fierce, run!"
Looking at Zhao'an's army who turned around and ran away, Fang Ming was stunned:
"This, is it a collapse?"
Fang Ming also participated in it Suppress bandits.
But even thieves are not so inexperienced!
Immediately afterwards, Fang Ming felt a sense of surprise in his heart.
No matter how inexperienced this army is, their heads are full of solid military achievements!
"Put away the crossbow! Hold the halberd!" Fang Ming shouted excitedly: "Kill!"
The ten Qin army chariots were among the Zhao'an army as if they were in an uninhabited land. A channel was plowed.
The infantry accompanying the car quickly followed up, constantly harvesting the lives of Zhao'an troops on both sides.
However, Qu Che's expression did not change at all.
Seeing that the Qin army had gone deep into the pocket, Qu Che said in a deep voice: "Order! Qu Wan's left and right troops, surround them!"
Under the urging of the supervising team, Chen Bing lined up on the left and right sides The Zhao'an army had to move cautiously towards Li Xin's troops.
In terms of military strength, the Chu army has an absolute advantage.
But Li Xin just smiled disdainfully: "Order! The left army rushes north and breaks through the siege!"
Li Xin's left-wing infantry immediately broke away from the army and marched towards Qu Wan's right-wing troops coming from the north.
When the neat forest of guns met the scattered Zhao'an army.
What is presented to everyone is not a war, but a massacre!
"The Chu State is asking us to die! We can't fight, retreat!"
"Fortress leader, let's go quickly. We would rather continue to be thieves than bury all our brothers here. ”
"Run!"
The Qin army had just cut off more than a hundred heads, and Qu Che's right side had already collapsed!
Li Xin saw this and shouted loudly: "Order! Stop the pursuit after the left part penetrates to the north, and continue to turn eastward!"
"The front and right parts continue to pursue the defeated army. ! ”
“The middle and last two units are in stable formation and moving forward slowly”
While shouting, Li Xin no longer paid attention to Qu Wan's Zhao'an army, but looked at Qu Che's banner.
But Li Xin did not notice that there were more than two thousand soldiers in the chaotic Zhao'an army, as motionless as rocks!
Seeing Li Xin's troops getting deeper and deeper, the corners of Qu Che's mouth slightly raised: "Order! The left and right troops will surround them on both sides."
"The supervising team came forward and guided Qu's troops. In the direction of retreat, do not attack our troops."
"The Chinese army comes forward and forms a turtle formation!"
Li Xin's attention always fell on Qu Che's department.
Seeing that Qu Che's troops were encircling his side on three sides, Li Xin immediately ordered: "Stop chasing and killing the defeated troops."
"The right side circled south, penetrated the encirclement and then attacked from the flank. The enemy's center!"
"Retreat to the left and protect our flank!"
Fang Ming immediately led the chariot troops to circle towards the south.
But before Fang Ming could break through the formation, a general with a helmet and armor rushed towards Fang Ming, escorted by ten soldiers.
Fang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Dare you collide with the chariot head-on?"
"Is there something wrong with this person's head?"
Muttering with a chuckle, Fang Ming raised the With the halberd in his hand, he was ready to use the speed of the chariot to kill the incoming general.
“Blood debt, blood payment!”
While roaring, the halberd in Xiang Liang's hand was aimed at the horse riding Fang Ming's chariot and slashed down!
A big horse head flew high under the impact of arterial blood, leaving the horse's body unwilling to fall, causing the chariot to tilt suddenly.
The charioteer hurriedly grasped the reins, trying to control the horse, and Fang Ming quickly thrust out the halberd in his hand.
However, the speed of Xiang Rong's halberd is even faster!
The tip of the halberd penetrated the forehead, and blood splattered!
Fang Ming's eyes widened as he wanted to say something.
But his brain has been completely destroyed by the halberd!
The formation killed a leader of two to five hundred soldiers. Xiang Rong showed no joy at all on his face. He just shouted in a deep voice: "Stab!"
Xiang Rong's infantry had already formed a formation.
With an order, the guns stand out!
Flesh and blood, copper and iron weapons collided suddenly.
The Chu army standing in the first row was smashed into minced meat by the heavy chariot.
But the spears in their hands also penetrated into the war horses smoothly.
At the cost of the lives of more than 300 soldiers, six chariots remained in the Chu army’s formation forever!
Seeing the fallen flag from a distance, Li Xin sat up straight unconsciously.
"The Chu army actually hid elite soldiers in the Zhao'an army!"
The fall of the six chariots made Li Xin quite heartbroken.
But the general who killed Fang Ming in formation made Li Xin happy to see him.
"Is this the Xiang Rong that Captain Su mentioned?" Li Xin's eyes were full of excitement, and he immediately ordered: "The right army retreated and the rear army rested."
< br>"The whole army turns south!"
Xiang Rong's eyes narrowed: "Want to leave?"
"Soldiers, speed up!"
