Qin Zhen issued a military order to defeat the enemy. As soon as the battle began, he showed extraordinary bravery. He took the lead and rushed to the front line. He first annihilated the Wei army hiding in the fortress made of rammed earth, and then rushed into the Wei army camp behind.
Although there are only five hundred people, they are extremely fierce.
Everyone had a clear division of labor and charged in from five directions, creating the momentum of thousands of troops attacking the camp. The sound of drums and horns resounded throughout the sky, causing the Wei army to panic.
When the brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang organized their troops to come out to resist, the Wei troops in the front camp had been killed and fled in all directions. The camp was in chaos, with screams, killing cries, and the sound of drums and horns. So far, they have not done anything. It is clear how many Jing troops attacked the camp.
"The soldiers and horses of the front camp have been defeated. If the chaos continues, the whole army may be annihilated," Lu Kuang said. "The enemy's situation is unclear at the moment. It is best to retreat quickly to gather the troops and horses, and then make a decision after the situation is clear."
Lu Xiang shook his head: "Now that the army retreats, it will be like a mountain collapsing out of control. Now you gather the remaining troops and retreat three miles to hold the position. I will lead my own troops to block the enemy's front."
Lu Kuang nodded, said brother, be careful, then hurriedly mounted his horse and headed towards the head.
Lu Xiang led his troops and rode forward, raised the flag and gathered the defeated troops in front. By the time they arrived at the front camp, more than a thousand people had been gathered. At this moment, the front camp was filled with fire, corpses were strewn on the ground, and there were killing cries and screams all around.
He glanced over and felt a chill in his heart.
Among so many corpses, there were very few corpses of Jingjun. How powerful this batch of Jingjun was. In the midst of his wild thoughts, Qin Zhen led a hundred people to kill them head on.
Lu Xiang looked at it and felt a chill in his heart. He recognized the armor specially made by Jingqian Army.
Could it be that Zhang Xiu personally led the Jingqian army to attack the camp?
Since the start of the Jing-Wei War, the Dajing Emperor Zhang Xiu seems to have disappeared. No one knows where he is. He is nowhere to be seen in the Fifth Route Army. Could it be that he is hiding in the Fifth Route Army?
"kill!"
Qin Zhen's angry shout interrupted Lu Xiang's wild thoughts and hurriedly ordered the army to kill him.
Qin Zhen is a warrior selected from thousands of people in Xiliang. He is responsible for the personal protection of Zhang Xiu. His own strength has reached the threshold of first-class. In addition, he has grown up to be powerful and tall, and he is very powerful when wielding a sword. The momentum was so powerful that several soldiers were too timid to step forward in battle.
The morale of both sides changed drastically.
Lu Xiang was furious and raised his sword to kill Qin Zhen. In this situation, he could only stabilize his position by killing Qin Zhen, otherwise the defeated troops he had just collected would be defeated again.
But he overestimated and underestimated Qin Zhen.
As soon as the two sides exchanged blows, Lu Kuang's hands holding the knife were instantly numbed by the huge force. The handle and blade of the knife could not stop shaking, and he almost lost his hand. He was shocked and frightened in his heart.
Qin Zhen didn't give him a chance to breathe, and stabbed his head with the second knife steadily and fiercely.
Lu Xiang's arms were out of control and unable to stop what was happening. He could only watch with horrified eyes as the afterimage of the sword flashed and the head fell to the ground.
Kill the enemy general in two turns.
Wei Jun was so frightened that no one dared to move. He looked at Qin Zhen as if he was seeing the murderous god from hell.
Qin Zhenhu glared and roared: "How long will it take if you don't surrender?"
The Wei soldiers looked at each other at a loss. The soldiers in the front row faced Qin Zhen's terrifying murderous intent and hurriedly abandoned their swords and surrendered. The soldiers behind him also abandoned their swords and knelt down to surrender.
Qin Zhen assigned fifty men to bind and manage the surrendered soldiers, and led the rest of his troops to attack the Chinese camp and continue to expand the results.
at the same time.
After receiving Qin Zhen's battle report, Li Ru quickly ordered Gao Shun to lead 7,000 cavalry and 3,000 firearms battalions, and go south as quickly as possible regardless of horsepower. The rest of the army quickly turned around and turned south to catch the Wei army by surprise.
After the men from the vehicle battalion and the firearms battalion fired the shells and arrows, they quickly took out the planks from the tunnel that had been prepared to build a pontoon bridge, and quickly built a pontoon bridge to prepare for the cavalry coming south to cross the river.
Qin Zhen's five hundred men will not be able to hold on for long. After dawn, the enemy generals will react and counterattack. They will definitely not be able to hold the river bank position. At this moment, time was running against the clock. In order to speed up, Gao Shun ordered the army to abandon all their luggage. Everyone had to carry half a day's rations and try to reach outside Xiangcheng in the morning of the next day.
The battle outside Xiangcheng lasted until the beginning of the morning (seven o'clock in the morning in later generations).
More than a thousand enemy troops were killed and more than two thousand were captured. The remaining less than two thousand troops fled and were gathered by Lu Kuang. They stabilized their position three miles away from the river bank and prepared for a counterattack.
Qin Zhen knew that the success of last night's raid did not mean that the river bank position was strong.
At dawn, Lu Kuang realized that they only had a small group of troops and would definitely fight back to regain their position. From last night to now, Qin Zhen and the others had not had a sip of water or a morsel of food, and they were already so weak that they were about to fall apart. He first ordered the people from the Firearms Battalion and the Chariot Battalion to escort the prisoners across the river to prevent any mistakes, and then ordered the men and horses to hurry up. Rest and prepare for the next battle.
But God did not fulfill people's wishes.
They had just eaten some food when the Wei army, led by Lu Kuang, killed them.
Lu Kuang was sure that Jing's army would be out of men and horses now, and it was the best time to eliminate them, so he buried the pot and cooked rice early, and when Jing's army relaxed, he came over and wiped them out.
This is the famous Jingqian Army!
If he could annihilate all the five hundred Jingqian troops, he would definitely become famous, and he would be granted the title of general. Moreover, he could also hold the position on the river bank. His contribution would be huge enough to honor his ancestors and descendants of Mengyin.
Coupled with the hatred of his brother being killed.
Lu Kuang knew that his strength was mediocre, not even as good as his brother's, and he was definitely no match for the commander-in-chief of the Jing army. Therefore, he did not intend to take the lead and go into battle personally. He wanted to fight a war of attrition and consume the opposing Jing Qian army to the death.
Looking at the five or six hundred Wei troops charging towards him, Qin Zhen felt chilly in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye could guess at a glance that the enemy was going to kill them in a wheel battle. There was really nothing they could do now.
"General, the enemy's heavy crossbow to defeat the city is still there!"
Suddenly, a soldier reminded.
Qin Zhen woke up with a sudden realization, yes! They captured the Wei army's fortress, which contained dozens of city-defeating heavy crossbows. As long as they changed their direction, they could kill these Wei troops to death.
Qin Zhen quickly ordered his men and horses to work together to turn Kecheng's heavy crossbow and aim at the incoming enemy troops.
As soon as the several hundred people rushed under the high defense line, they saw that the arrow muzzle of Kecheng's heavy crossbow had been turned and pointed at them, and everyone took a breath of cold air.
Under the heavy crossbow of defeating the city, all living beings are equal.
The momentum of the Wei army's charge also came to an abrupt halt at this moment. They looked at the Kecheng heavy crossbow with extremely frightened eyes. Normal bow and arrow injuries could still be treated, but this thing could be sent to the west on the spot.
