"Why!"
"Why hasn't the Qin army collapsed yet?"
Wei Jiu's face turned pale and he stared blankly at the bloody battlefield not far away.
It had been a long time since they launched this ambush, and the sun in the sky even began to set in the west.
But the thousand-man Qin army who was shouting for death still stood firmly in place, like a stubborn rock in the waves. No matter how rough the waves are, I will remain unmoved.
Hou Shuyi's face was full of shock and he murmured: "The casualties are close to 400 people. No one in this Qin army has fled. This is unreasonable. The escape route has been cleared for them. Why? No one ran away."
He couldn't help but be surprised. Generally speaking, in battlefield fighting, as long as the casualties exceed one-tenth, the morale of the army will collapse. If it reaches one-fifth, it will be difficult for an army not to flee.
Even the Wei army that launched the attack began to feel unstable after suffering more than 300 casualties. The soldiers attacking from behind slowed down a lot. As for the Qin army, they were first ambushed and then engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. They suffered heavy casualties and almost half of their troops were killed. However, they always stood firm and no one escaped, which was far beyond their expectations.
"Hmph, I guess it's just the Qin State's strict punishments. I heard that Qin's laws are cruel. If one person escapes on the battlefield, the whole family will be implicated. So it's not that they don't want to run, but they dare not run!" Zhu Piao said with red eyes.
No matter what, the Qin army was more tenacious than expected, completely disrupting the Wei army's plan to quickly defeat the Qin army and then face the Qin army in the rear.
Wei Jiu panicked and said, "It has been so long. The Qin lord in the rear must have received the news and is leading his troops to help. What should we do at this moment?"
Hou Shu gritted his teeth and said: "We have been fighting for so long. We must swallow this Qin army. We must use six thousand to ambush one thousand. If we still can't capture the opponent, the morale of our soldiers will be greatly weakened. According to my plan, we can plan Send out 2,000 men to set up a formation to resist the Qin State's Central Army on the way. As for my 4,000-strong army, we will continue to attack the Qin soldiers with less than 1,000 people. We must defeat them and annihilate them, so that our army will have the morale to fight the Qin State's Central Army. .”
At this moment, Wei Jiu was also riding a tiger and was unable to dismount, so he could only nod his head and said: "According to Sir's advice, I also ask Zhu Jun to lead 2,000 men to intercept the Qin army."
"No, I, Zhu Piao, will definitely make it difficult for those Qin troops to advance!"
Zhu Piao took the order and left.
Wei Jiu looked to the west worriedly.
Two thousand Wei troops resisted four thousand Qin troops.
Four thousand Wei troops besieged one thousand Qin troops here.
It depends on who can succeed as soon as possible.
…
"Bai Rong, your subordinates are all brave men of the mountains and forests. Please lead a thousand people to rescue the Shejian tribe."
"Yui, Bai Rongding has fulfilled his mission!"
Bai Rong's face was full of excitement. After receiving the order, he accelerated the march with a thousand Hanzhong people who were screaming, and went straight to the fighting place ahead.
"Marquis, why don't you let me go? That Bai Rong has never fought in any battles. If I go too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to save Shejian."
Black Hips started shouting. As soon as he heard about Shejian being ambushed, he immediately asked for orders and wanted to lead his troops forward to rescue him. However, Zhao Tuo ignored him at all and handed over the important task to Bai Rong.
"There is no second order in the army. Anyone who dares to question the military order will be killed immediately!"….
Zhao Tuo spoke coldly, not giving any face to his cronies.
When the generals around him heard this, they all trembled. Black Butt was also startled and quickly covered his mouth.
"Bai Rong's troops go first. The remaining soldiers continue to move slowly at the same speed and maintain their formation. They must not mess up their positions or attack without authorization. Anyone in the army who disobeys my military orders will be killed without mercy!"
"only."
Seeing that the generals were ordered to go down to appease the soldiers, and Bai Rong also led a thousand men under his command to accelerate the march, Zhao Tuo nodded.
His expression was serious and calm, but there was still worry in his eyes.
Shejian was his most capable subordinate and a friend like a brother. Now he was ambushed by the Wei army. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. How could Zhao Tuo not be worried? He was even more worried. He was deeply afraid that Shejian's life was in danger.
But Zhao Tuo must
You need to calm down, he is the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of this 5,000-strong Qin army. Every move and every order involves the lives of 5,000 soldiers.
A general must not have the kindness of a woman.
Not only for enemy prisoners, but also for our own soldiers and generals. When he goes to the battlefield, Zhao Tuo must abandon all selfishness and focus on the overall situation.
"Bai Rong's subordinates are all Hanzhong people, and among them, the five hundred Di Qiang barbarians often run in the mountains and forests. Their ability to run on the mountain roads and their endurance are better than other soldiers. So Bai Rong is allowed to lead the army first. After the ambush site, they still have fighting strength and can hold the Wei army in check and bring hope to Shejian's soldiers."
"The remaining three thousand troops will march at a normal speed. Although the speed will be much slower, they will be able to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness after arriving on the battlefield. Otherwise, if I rush the army in a hurry and run a long distance to the battlefield, I am afraid that I will fall behind Huan Zhao. fate."
Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly and remembered that during the Battle of Xingyang, Huan Zhao led his troops in a hurry to engage the Wei army in a hasty battle, and then was beaten by the Wei army because his soldiers were tired. Huan Zhao committed a taboo in the art of war at that time.
"Jian, you have to hold on!"
…
"Second Son, hold on!"
"The military commander must have received news at this moment that reinforcements are on the way!"
Shejian shouted, and he stabbed a long beryllium pole through the gap between the Qin soldiers, knocking a charging Wei army to the ground.
He remembered the first time he met Zhao Tuo.
a piece of clothing.
An ancient poem.
Warms a heart.
He will definitely come!
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you..."
Shejian was waving his weapons and personally participating in the battle, while singing the ancient Qin song.
The short soldiers beside him saw their two to five hundred masters singing and started to sing along.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. When the king raised his army, he repaired my spear and halberd, and I worked together with you..."
The surrounding Qin soldiers were shocked. Although Hanoi was not the old land of Qin, it had been included in the Qin State decades ago. This generation of Hanoi people considered themselves Qin people when they were born. At this moment, when I heard the sound of the ancient Qin Feng, the blood in my body began to boil.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you. When the king raised his army, he repaired my armor and soldiers, and I went with him..."
Amidst the bursts of Qin sounds, the remaining hundreds of Qin soldiers all had firm eyes, holding their swords, shields, spears and halberds tightly in their hands, fighting hard against the advancing Wei soldiers. ….
They fought bloody battles with high morale and never took a step back.
Because they knew that their leader was on his way.
…
"Array, array!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
Zhu Piao's veins burst out and he roared at his soldiers. He was ordered to lead two thousand Wei troops to block the Qin army's road. It turned out that it was easy to pull out the two thousand soldiers, but it took a lot of effort to get them to re-arrange their formations. .
These Wei troops were composed of broken soldiers from various places, and they lacked coordination with each other. Moreover, they were still discussing the matter of ambushing the Qin army. Each one of them was in low spirits and could not stand up well for a long time.
"Qin Army! It's Qin Army!"
At this moment, a Wei soldier shouted and pointed to the west.
Zhu Piao was horrified. He looked up and saw a Qin army running towards him.
"How come it's so fast?"
Zhu Piao was very surprised, but he immediately discovered that the Qin army was small in number, about a thousand people, and its formation was scattered and its appearance was not neat.
[Recommended,
The sparse arrows missed, and except for some unlucky Qin soldiers who were shot over, they did little harm to the Qin army.
The dispersed formation and sparse team can better avoid arrow attacks.
After being attacked by bows and crossbows, the Qin soldiers were not only not afraid, but they all screamed and yelled incomprehensible words, and ran even faster. Some Qin soldiers even disliked the armor on their bodies. His speed was slowed down, so he pulled it off and charged with his naked body.
"Kill! Kill these Wei people and repay the kindness of the military commander!"
Bai Rong raised his arms and shouted. As the commander-in-chief, he knew very well how to fight the barbarians under his command in order to exert their maximum combat power.
"Repay the kindness of the military commander!"
Many Di Qiang barbarians also roared, taking one step at a time and running straight forward.
This indomitable momentum actually startled the Wei army. In an instant, these thousands of people rushed into the formation, and a rain of blood suddenly spattered.
"not good!"
The ferocity of these thousands of Qin soldiers was somewhat beyond Zhu Piao's expectations. Standing on a high ground at the rear, he could see that his own military formation was being stirred up, and he was almost pierced by the Qin army's charge.
"Hold on, you must hold on for me! Anyone who retreats will be beheaded immediately!"
Zhu Piao shouted, fortunately he had many men. After some confusion, he fought with these Qin soldiers and barely maintained the formation.
"Damn it, these Qin people are so fierce. Hold on!"
This group of Hanzhong Qin soldiers finally rushed for a long time, charging with only a single spirit. After being blocked by the Wei army, the two sides fell into a hard fight, with blood and flesh flying everywhere for a while, and the fighting continued.
As time went by, the advantage of Wei's large number of soldiers gradually became apparent, and the Qin army gradually became exhausted. Even the always fierce Di and Qiang barbarians were unable to fight against the Wei army array one on two.
"Humph, as expected, this Qin army is no match for our army at all. The time is almost up. When the young master annihilates the vanguard of the Qin army, he can lead his army to come to the rescue and set up a large formation here to face the oncoming Qin army. , then the Qin army will definitely end up being overthrown and killing the generals just like the Qin army in front of us!"
Zhu Piao sneered, but then the smile on his face froze and he stared blankly in the west direction.
"It's almost time, the military commander should be arriving soon."
Bai Rong watched his soldiers being pushed back by the Wei army. He did not panic, but murmured to himself.
He looked to the west, a smile spreading across his face.
There, at the end of the road, figures appeared one after another.
Flags are flying, spears and halberds are standing.
An army wearing black armor, like a black dragon, is approaching here. .
Dongjun taking off
