Chapter 597 He still has to thank us! The Chu army attacked at night and burned the Qin army's camp!
June 7th.
Pingdan (3:00)
This is the time when you are most likely to feel sleepy, but figures keep emerging from the invisible darkness of the night, and then being thrown off the city wall. bamboo basket and returned to the city.
"Report! The main force of the Qin-Qi coalition forces is still hoarded in the west of Xiapi City, and the number of patrols is more than double that of the past."
"Report! Our troops encountered the Qin-Qi coalition scouts six miles south. After a bitter battle, all the soldiers died in the battle, but the last general fled back."
"Report! Our troops discovered the Qin-Qi coalition warships on the Sishui River. More than three hundred.”
One after another messages gathered in Xiang Yan’s ears.
Xiang Yan said calmly: "The king's order to force our army to retreat has indeed been known to the Qin army."
Listening to the message sent back by the scouts, Xiang Yan quickly It was determined that although Ying Chengyu continued to attack and force the battle as usual during the day, in fact he had already used his superior strength to throw out a large net, covering the Chu army and Xiapi City.
You want to say that Ying Chengyu didn't know the order of King Qi of Chu?
Xiang Yan doesn’t believe it at all!
Xiong Liu asked in a cold voice: "Could it be the Jing family who tipped off the Qin army?"
"That Jingpo has become the captain of the Qin-Qi coalition guerrilla forces, and there are many Jing family members. Look at the wind and fall."
"Jing's heart is unpredictable!"
Jing Huan and other Jing family disciples immediately glared at Xiong Liu angrily.
However, before they could speak, Qu Huan had already refuted: "Even if the Jing family is the captain of the Qin-Qi coalition guerrilla force, the Jing family is still a common people of our country."
" For the sake of the country and for ourselves, the Jing family would not do such a thing."
"Now that the war is about to begin, our army should unite and fight against the enemy together."
"Please keep Min safe. You should never say such words that will hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy!”
Hedging bets is a common tactic used by large families.
Not only Jingpo went to the Qin State, but several of Qu's children also went to the Qin State. It was just because they did not have the same situation as Jingpo, so it was difficult for them to be promoted.
Not for the Jing family, but just so that the Qu family would not face such accusations in the future, Qu Huan could not let Xiong Liu grab Jingpo and attack the Jing family.
And what time is it now?
The war is coming!
Qu Huan cannot allow anyone to alienate the morale of the army when the decisive battle is coming!
Xiang Yan also nodded slightly: "What Deputy General Qu said is true."
"It is unusual for a large family to have some branch children who do not want to be attached to the family."
“Jing’s family is still trustworthy.”
“And Qin Chang’an Lord could learn this news, I had expected it.”
"If Lord Qin Changan doesn't know, I will send someone else to tell you!"
Behind the crowd, Zhuang Jia, wearing ordinary knight equipment, showed a satisfied smile.
Did everyone hear it?
He said this himself!
Although I leaked their information, they still have to thank me!
Xiong Liu's eyes flickered.
Of course he knew it was inappropriate to say this before the war, but he said it anyway.
As the future King of Chu, Xiong Liu certainly needs to pay close attention to the relationship between the major clans in Chu State.
Qu Huan's unhesitating response to Jing's family made Xiong Liu's heart sink.
When the big families of Chu unite, their enemy will naturally no longer be each other, but the King of Chu!
They all blame King Chu Kaolie and his four unlucky sons!
If Xiong Liu wants to sit firmly on the throne, it may not be that easy!
However, Xiong Liu immediately showed an apologetic look on his face, and bowed his hands to Qu Huan and the Jing family disciples: "I made a mistake."
"Please forgive me. ”
“To express my apology, I would like to be a pioneer”
What else could Jing Huan and others say?
The only option is to forgive him!
Xiang Yan smiled and said: "I already have a candidate for the position of pioneer."
"Captain Xiang Han!"
Xiang Han stepped forward, his eyes Looking at Xiang Yan eagerly: "The general will be here!"
Xiang Yan asked in a solemn voice: "Do you dare to fight to the death?"
Xiang Han suddenly handed over his hand: "It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!"
"That's the case." Xiang Yan smiled. After restraining himself, he shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"
"Duwei Xiang Han led his troops to sneak to the east, and took the initiative to touch the Qin army's scouts."
"Connect with the Qin army. After the battle, light a fire signal and then speed up to attract the enemy.”
"Captain Zhaoxiang, Commandant Laode, and Commandant Chenghan turned to the west. Once they found a fire on the east side, they attacked the enemy's central camp at night."
"Captain Qu Lu led our army to fight The ship came out from the water village in the east of Xiapi City to intercept the enemy warships. "
"Captain Jing Huan led his troops with their horses and horses wrapped in hooves to secretly reinforce Jushan."
"Captain..."
"The rest will be hidden in the private house in Xiapi with me."
"Take the golden drum as the trumpet!"
"When the drum sounds, the whole army will rush out!"
Under the deep night, the south gate of Xiapi City slowly opened, and the suspension bridge also slowly lowered .
The war horses slowly walked out of the city carrying the knights on their backs.
The heat created a glimmer of light in Xiang Han's armor, and even hit the ground along with Xiang Han's armor.
But Xiang Han's expression was cold.
Holding the halberd left by Xiang Lang in his hand, Xiang Han marched silently at the front of the headquarters, a pair of eyes filled with the fire of revenge constantly patrolling the left and right.
"Quack~quack~"
A few frog croaks quietly emerged in the night, dotting this hot summer night.
But Xiang Han suddenly sat upright.
Wherever the army passed, birds and beasts were everywhere. How could a frog without eyes dare to cry? After waiting patiently for more than ten seconds, Xiang Han, who did not hear the frog croaking again, shouted:
"Raise the fire! Raise the shield!"
Xiang Han's voice Like a heavy hammer hitting stagnant water, it spread far away in the quiet night sky.
There was no need for the ordering soldiers to talk. The shield soldiers in Xiang Han's army pushed towards both sides of the army without hesitation and raised their large shields.
Seventy percent of Xiang Han's soldiers even lit the torches in their hands with flints.
In just a few breaths, a fire dragon made of torches suddenly dispersed the darkness around him!
It is different from the tithe fire in regular night battles.
Xiang Han's troops only had 12,000 men, but he raised 8,500 torches and gave the appearance of 85,000 troops!
“No! The enemy has discovered our army!”
"We actually ran into a partial division of the Chu army?"
"No! If the Chu army escaped separately, this may have been the main force of the Chu army!"
"Our troops intercepted the enemy's army. The robes immediately sent a message to the general!"
"Crossbow soldiers come forward, diffuse!"
Looking at this long and thick fire dragon, ambushing near Xiang Han's headquarters. The Qin-Qi coalition subconsciously believed that they had encountered a partial division of the Chu army, or even the main force of the Chu army!
Waves of exclamations sounded one after another from the Chu army's east, west, north and south.
What followed was the sound of exploding bowstrings and the sound of gold and iron!
Xiang Han sneered: "With only this ability, do you dare to come close to investigate?"
"Men, speed up!"
While shouting, Xiang Hummer took the lead and rode forward.
Behind Xiang Han, hundreds of Xiang's children and two thousand elite infantry followed closely.
Seeing Xiang Han leading the front army to charge forward, a Qi army company commander shouted: "Formation! The spearmen come forward, form a square formation!"
However, this sound The order was given, but the position of the Qi army was exposed.
Xiang Han's eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the Qi Jun company commander. He took out a short javelin from the back of his horse with his right hand, bent his body back, and then threw it suddenly!
“Ah!!!”
Listening to the screams from an unknown person, Xiang Han shouted angrily: "The enemy is forty feet in front of our troops."
"Knight, speed up!"
"Charge and kill!"
While shouting, Xiang Han clamped his horse's belly again and ran wildly in the direction of the sound.
As he got closer, Xiang Han saw frightened faces.
With a cruel smile on his face, Xiang Han stabbed forward with the halberd in his hand.
"Qi thief, take your life!!!"
The tip of the halberd passed through the throat, bringing out a large amount of blood.
Before the leader of Qi Jun’s body landed, Xiang Han’s halberd was already slashing at another Qi Jun.
After Xiang Han, hundreds of Xiang's descendants also stabbed out their halberds decisively and sharply, trying to use the lives of these Qi soldiers to pay tribute to the clan members who died in this battle.
"The man at the head must be a general. If you kill this general, you will definitely make a lot of money!"
"The enemy army has at least two thousand people. How can we and our company of soldiers (two hundred people) be able to defeat it?" ? Run! Run quickly! Aren’t you afraid of losing your life to make money?” The two hundred Qi troops here have dispersed.
Looking at the Qi army running into the night, Xiang Han, who was murderous, shouted without hesitation: "Chase!"
However, the order had just been issued, and each line was composed of torches. The little fire dragon caught Xiang Han's eyes.
Xiang Han immediately raised his eyes and looked around, and saw dozens of fire dragons of various sizes speeding towards him from the four directions, east, west, north and south.
Xiang Han could only suppress his murderous intent and changed his order: "Send the order to the whole army, disperse the formation and advance, speed up to the east!"
"The front part should be at my side, for me. The army opens the way!"
......
At the same time, Xiapi City is west.
"It's time to raise the fire." Lauder looked to the east and asked in a low voice: "You two, give the order."
Zhaoxiang, however, looked at the central camp of the Qin-Qi coalition army and shook his head: "Wait a little longer. "
Laud frowned and said: "But the commander ordered you and I to attack the camp immediately after seeing the fire on the east side."
"If it is delayed for a long time, we will wait until the Qin army. When the Chinese army is reorganized, our army is not attacking the enemy camp at night, but a sheep entering the tiger's mouth! "
The key to a night attack is surprise.
If you wait until the enemy is well prepared before attacking the camp, is that still called a night attack?
That’s called a night attack!
Zhaoxiang said in a deep voice: "The commander cannot give everything clearly."
"It is the duty of our generals to make prompt decisions in accordance with the commander's orders."
“How can Lieutenant Lao determine that there are indeed enemy troops in the Qin army’s tent?”
Lauder was slightly startled.
Yes.
Since Ying Chengxuan knew that the Chu army was about to withdraw, how could he not prevent the Chu army from launching a surprise attack at the last moment?
Although waiting a little longer would make their night attack more difficult.
But facing someone like Ying Chengyu, no matter how much you seek stability!
Lauder stopped persuading and just continued to lie beside Zhaoxiang and wait patiently.
More than forty seconds later, bursts of drums suddenly came from the camp of the Qin-Qi coalition army.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Assemble! Arrange!"
"The Chu army is going to escape at night, so assemble the army quickly!"
It wasn't until he heard the shouts from the Qin-Qi Allied Army's camp that Zhaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order!"
"Burn the Qin-Qi Allied Army's camp. ! ”
