Chapter 438 All the forty thousand warriors lost their sleeves! Backstab from Toilet Chip!
E-Chi's movements are very subtle.
But the actions of E Chi's subordinates have nothing to do with concealment.
How could the scene of hundreds of young and strong men taking off their clothes go unnoticed!
Seeing that E Chen's troops were not killed by the Qin army through the combo of stripping off their clothes, cutting off their sleeves, and acting like dogs, but instead joined the Qin army, the eyes of the nearby Zhao'an army couldn't help but light up.
There is still such an operation!
"Quickly, take off your clothes! Cut off your sleeves! We will be members of the Qin Army from now on!"
"Let me see who dares to rebel! Anyone who cuts off his sleeves will be cut off... Ah!”
“Brothers know that the Chu Kingdom promises huge profits, but we don’t want to die! Please help us in the end!”
“Behead quickly! Cut off your left sleeve, otherwise, don’t blame me for not remembering my past kindness!”
The price offered by the King of Chu was not high.
The conditions given by the major clans on the surface were consistent with those of King Chu of Chu, but secretly they rewarded the bandit leaders with large amounts of land, money, beauties and other benefits.
In order to ensure that the bandit leaders were obedient, their families were brought back to the city early.
So most bandit leaders would rather run away at risk than betray the Chu State.
Unfortunately, most people don’t agree!
At this moment, one of the former brothers drew their swords and faced each other.
All past friendships are no longer reliable. The only criterion for distinguishing friends from enemies is whether the sleeve is cut off!
The already chaotic Zhao'an army became even more chaotic, but the chaos was eliminated after a few quarters of an hour.
Looking around, as far as E Chi could see, there were all men with cut sleeves!
Even E Chi, who was the fuse, couldn't help but sigh softly: "Chang'an Lord has won the hearts of the people so deeply!"
"Fortunately, I made the right choice!"
Su Jiao laughed heartily: "Now, the offensive and defensive situation has become easier!"
"All soldiers, kill the enemy. Army!"
The more than 20,000 Qin troops and the more than 40,000 remaining Zhao'an troops screamed:
"Kill!"
Qu Wan yelled angrily: "Your mother is here to help!"
"These despicable people really have no faith at all, and they would actually switch sides on the battlefield!"
Qu Che stopped. Order: "Don't make any noise."
"Get out of the mountain at full speed! Hurry!"
"Our army is marching faster, and we will definitely be able to escape from the West Mountain before the mountain fire and the pursuers approach. ! ”
After hearing Qu Che's words, all the generals felt relieved.
Although there were pursuers, even the soldiers of Lord Wu'an Bai Qi could not catch up with them in the past, so how can Lord Chang'an's soldiers catch up with them today!
However, just when the generals had just settled down, hundreds of Qin army remnants suddenly appeared in front of them!
Looking at the fleeing Chu army in the distance, Ying He shouted in a deep voice: "Men, the commander has ordered us to garrison Xishan."
"Today, the enemy is trying to escape, what should we do? ”
After the war started, Ying He's troops blocked the mountain road and blocked Luo Xiang's troops at the foot of the mountain.
As Su Jiao and other troops entered the mountain, Ying He's troops took cover to rest and recuperate.
Now, Ying He’s troops once again stood in front of the Chu army.
But this time, they no longer stopped the Chu army from going up the mountain, but stopped the Chu army from going down the mountain!
Eight hundred Qin troops lined up in a forest of guns, shouting loudly: "Respond to the enemy!"
In front of the more than 20,000 Chu troops, the more than 800 Qin troops were like ants!
As long as the chariot soldiers are gathered in the army, all the more than 800 Qin troops can be scattered with a single charge!
If we can gather the tribesmen of Qu, Zhao and Luo who are able to ride, they can be dispersed by rushing two or three times and paying a few more casualties.
But unfortunately, this is a mountain road, and Ying He chose the most rugged mountain road. Neither chariot soldiers nor knights can play a role here.
Under the condition that they could only charge the formation with infantry, the Chu army only needed an hour or two at most to break through the formation.
However, what is even more pity is that there are chasing troops and mountain fire behind the Chu army.
Not to mention two hours, even half an hour is enough for the Chu army to be entangled by the Qin army!
This time, even Qu Che couldn't help shouting angrily: "It's your mother's fault!"
"Order! The front will penetrate the enemy at all costs!"< br>
"Arrange three times in the middle, and fire crossbows in turn!"
"The left and right forces immediately dispersed to both sides, detoured along the hillside to the enemy's rear, and attacked from the front and back!"
"The rear formed an array to the west to intercept the pursuers!"
< br>"The whole army is making noise! Intimidating the enemy!"
These 800 Qin troops indeed blocked the retreat of more than 20,000 Chu troops.
But no matter what, they only have eight hundred people!
Qu Che didn't believe they couldn't tell who was strong or weak, let alone that they weren't afraid of death!
Zhaoxiang and Luo Xiang also understood what Qu Che was thinking, and immediately passed the order to their troops.
More than 20,000 Chu troops roared in unison:
"Those who stand in the way will die! Those who retreat will not be killed!"
Facing the murderous sound, looking at Xiang Xiang The Chu army was surrounded by the headquarters, and Ying He felt deep fear in his heart.
But he just gripped the spear in his hand tighter, and the firm look in his eyes did not retreat at all:
"Congratulations to you, a first-year student of the Great Qin Military Academy, the 250th Lord of the Great Qin, and a descendant of the Royal Family of the Great Qin."
< br>"Fight to the death, never retreat until death!"
Behind Ying He, the eyes of several military students were as firm as Ying He.
The eyes of the remaining soldiers all fell on Ying He.
Are they afraid?
They are afraid too.
But even Ying He, who is a member of the Great Qin royal family, is standing here, which makes ordinary soldiers unable to believe that this is a place of death. They think that Ying Chengyu will not trick Ying He to death, and they believe that this is the place where they will die. You can get greater military success!
In Qu Che's incomprehensible eyes, more than 800 Qin troops roared in unison: "Fight to the death, do not retreat!"
The Chu army attacked Ying He's troops mercilessly like a huge wave.
Su Jiao's troops further behind took the opportunity to cover up and kill them.
The narrow mountain road becomes even narrower due to the accumulation of corpses.
The soil can no longer carry the excessive influx of blood, and can only guide the blood downwards and further downwards!
——
"Charge and kill!"
The shouts of tens of thousands of people who sacrificed their lives gathered into a roaring sound that spread throughout the countryside.
East of Echeng.
Xiang Yan couldn't help but sit up straight, staring at Xishan.
The flames jumped over Xiang Yan's pupils, and the mountain road stained with blood made it impossible for Xiang Yan to remain calm.
Jingchou lost his voice and said: "There is a fire in the West Mountain! There are shouts of killing!"
"When did the Qin army set up the fire scene, and when did the Qin army set up the ambush!"
"What exactly did the Qin army intend to do? Why!"
Xiang Yan still stared at Xishan and said in a deep voice: "Come out."
Jing Chou quickly sat up and looked at Xishan with his presbyopic eyes. .
Finally, he saw several Chu army banners rushing out of the Western Mountain and running towards the plain outside the mountain.
Some soldiers wearing the Chu army's standard armor surrounded the flag.
Then, more and more soldiers wearing various clothes and exposing their left arms poured out of the mountains and forests, following the Chu army.
Looking at the equipment of these people, Jingchou knew that these people were the Zhao'an army of the Chu army!
Jingchou said in astonishment: "The general seems to have seen some Zhao'an troops shooting our soldiers?"
"Is it possible that the Zhao'an army has already defected?!!"
Xiang Yan's mouth turned bitter and he laughed at himself: "It's in vain that I am still exploring the location of the Qin army's ambush."
"It turns out that The Qin army’s ambush is not in the mountains or in Hanoi, but under my general’s command!”
At this moment, many previously unsolved problems were solved.
Why did Ying Chengxuan choose Echeng, which seemed unfavorable to the Qin army, as the battlefield?
Because Echeng is only three hundred miles away from the northeastern tip of Penglize and can be easily reached via the Yangtze River.
Choosing Echeng as the battlefield will make Chu more willing to dispatch Peng Lize and other Daze water bandits to reinforce Xiang Yan.
Why is Ying Chengyu not in any rush for a decisive battle?
Because while waiting, the strength of the Zhao'an army of Chu State was gradually growing.
In Xiang Yan’s view, that is the power that belongs to the Chu State, but in Ying Chengyu’s view, that is the power that belongs to the Qin State!
Since the State of Chu is willing to help Ying Chengxuan raise and recruit troops, why should Ying Chengxuan be eager to go to war?
And Ying Chengyu’s various arrangements in this battle also have reasonable explanations.
He only needed to lead the Chu army into a battlefield suitable for an ambush.
Ambush the Chu army?
The meeting will be provided by the Chu Army!
Xiang Yan regarded Zhao'an's army as a toilet tool that was useful under special conditions.
But everyone knows that if the toilet chip is stabbed in the back, the owner will suffer even more pain!
Jingchou said solemnly: "General Xiong believes that the other departments' orders to the An army cannot be trusted!"
Xiang Yan looked at Xiong Xun: "General Xiong is sure that he will win Are all the Zhao'an troops not being used by the Qin army?"
Xiong Xun pondered for a moment and then became confused: "If the Zhao'an troops are separated from the battlefield, I will be confident that the Zhao'an troops will not cause chaos."< br>
"But if our army is defeated, it is really difficult to guarantee the final general."
Xiang Yan nodded lightly: "That's enough!"
"Order!"
" All the troops under the imperial command were temporarily put under the command of General Xiong Xun. "Jingpo's troops stopped attacking the city and were temporarily put under the command of General Xiong Xun to supervise the battle."
"Order General Xiong Xun to lead all Zhao'an troops eastward and attack the east gate of Hubei City."
"The Douzhan Division stopped attacking the city, retreated three miles, and formed a formation to prepare to meet the enemy."
< br>"Cheng Han's troops turned to the west, and then flanked the Qin army's right wing in the northeast direction."
"The Chinese army moved closer to Qu Che's troops!"
Xiang Yan said coldly : "No matter how many rebels there are, they are still just a group of thieves."
"Facing the rebels, our army must not show any weakness. Only the toughest killing can make the rebels understand that the Qin army is brave, and our Chu army cannot be bullied!"
"Everyone , let these rebels pay the price they deserve."
"Then, let them continue to be used by our great Chu willingly!"
The generals and messengers immediately surrendered:
“Wei!”
While the flag was waving, Zhao'an's army went to Dongcheng to involve the Qin army.
All the elites of the Chu army are gathering towards the west mountain!
But no matter which Chu army it is, its soldiers are looking at the Western Mountains with fear in their eyes, whispering:
"The Qin army has set fire again! In this battle, can we still "Victory?"
"No need to doubt, Qin Chang'an has always set fire when he is not far from victory since he joined the army. Instead of doubting whether this battle can be won, it is better to think about what to do later. Run away!”
"The fire in Xishan is getting bigger and bigger. The general even wants us to rush to Xishan. Doesn't this mean that we will die!"
"It is said that the entire Zhao'an army rebelled. Alas, If my family members were not all in my hometown, I would have rebelled. This battle would be difficult!”
Before Xiang Yan was aware of it, a dark cloud had already enveloped all the Chu troops!
