"Bang——!"
"Bang——!"
"Bang——!"
Just when Jie Jun led the Xiou cavalry to block Han Xin, a series of explosions suddenly sounded.
What! ?
What is that sound? !
It seemed that the soldiers of Xiou Kingdom heard such a sound for the first time, and they were all frightened.
The Qin army fighting them also showed a horrified expression.
At this time, Han Xin took the opportunity to order: "Kill all these Yue people!"
"Roar!"
As the cavalry brought by Han Xin continued to charge, porcelain mines like thorns were continuously thrown from the bellies of the horses on both sides of the cavalry.
This is the latest gunpowder weapon developed by the Western Academy of Sciences, and it was immediately equipped with the Security Bureau.
Chen Ping asked Han Xin to take this with him to solve his shortage of troops.
Now, Han Xin cleverly took advantage of the intensive offensive of Xiou soldiers to make these porcelain landmines explode when stepped on, killing a group of people.
"This, how is this possible?"
This was the first time Jie Jun saw this kind of weapon. He couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. Even the cavalry under his command were so frightened that they stopped moving forward.
Zou Che, who was standing in the distance, turned even pale and murmured to himself: "Why, why did our top-secret plan fail in vain?"
"Your Majesty, the situation is not good, we should withdraw."
Right here, the older elder approached Zou Che again and warned him carefully.
When Zou Che heard this, his heart felt cold, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Withdraw?! Where to retreat? The opportunity has been missed. Even if we retreat into the mountains and forests, we will be overtaken by Qin's cavalry!"
"It's better to attack with all your strength, maybe we can break out a bloody path!"
After saying that, he immediately shouted: "Give me the order to disperse the army, stay away from the things thrown by the Qin cavalry, shoot them with bows and arrows, and fight and push back!"
"Uuuuuuu——!"
As Zou Che's words fell, the Western European soldiers who were still attacking the city retreated one after another and began to disperse and form well-trained formations. They gradually pushed outside the camp wall and covered Han Xin with dense arrows. The cavalry actually wanted to fight and retreat at the same time.
"kill!"
Han Xin's cavalry finally reached the grain and grass camp and joined the Qin army in the camp.
At this time, some of the retreating Xiou soldiers were still determined to counterattack them.
"Puff puff"
Countless arrows struck again.
Although the cavalry under Han Xin had weapons of mass destruction such as porcelain landmines, they could not withstand the long-distance attacks of Xiou soldiers, and were shot back one by one.
Han Xin saw that this was not going to work. In order to get here in time, his cavalry gave up their heavy armor and switched to light armor. Facing such a dense rain of arrows, they were still unable to withstand it, so they ordered again:
"Everyone listen to my order and quickly retreat into the camp, close the door tightly, and throw all the porcelain mines on the body into the gap. The crossbowmen are on standby. Once the enemy approaches, immediately shoot the porcelain mines on the ground!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the one-armed general and said solemnly: "Are you the highest officer here?"
"The last general, Wu Nian, is on duty as the grain and grass captain!"
The one-armed general saluted with one hand and answered loudly.
Han Xin nodded expressionlessly, and then continued: "Okay, Wu Nian, my general's surname is Han and my name is Xin. Now I want you to lead the remaining soldiers and put out the fire quickly!"
"this"
Wu Nian hesitated for a moment and then respectfully agreed: "I will obey your orders!"
Although Han Xin did not reveal his official rank, looking at Han Xin's outfit, he was no ordinary general.
Therefore, without saying a word, he began to give orders to divide his remaining 300 soldiers guarding the camp into two groups. One group stayed at the door to assist Han Xin in defending the camp, and the other group rushed to put out the fire.
Not long after, new orders came from the camp.
The soldiers guarding the camp couldn't help but have doubts on their faces. They were caught off guard by the Vietnamese. When they were just waiting for reinforcements to come and prepare for a massive counterattack, how could they be allowed to put out the fire?
Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
Although the soldiers were very puzzled, the military orders were like mountains and they must abide by them.
Soon, the soldiers who received the order turned into a firefighting team and began to extinguish the fire while salvaging water from the river.
Looking at the busy soldiers guarding the camp, Han Xin frowned and asked Wu Nian, who was bandaging his wounds: "Can we still fight?"
"General, don't worry. Even if the general has to risk his life, he will still kill him happily!"
Wu Nian laughed loudly.
"good!"
Han Xin nodded with satisfaction, then tightened the horse's rope and shouted: "Brothers, throw away the halberds in your hands, take out the repeating crossbows, and let them see what the inviolable power of Qin is!"
"promise!"
The cavalrymen agreed loudly and immediately took out the ten-gun crossbow designed by the Western Academy of Sciences.
Suddenly, in the field outside the camp gate, in the hazy morning light, tens of thousands of arrows flew into the ranks of Xiou soldiers, taking away every living life.
Although the soldiers of the Xiou Kingdom were constantly drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the Qin army, the power of the ten-gun crossbows was far beyond what their bows and arrows could match.
Slowly, Han Xin began to gain the upper hand.
Of course, we only have the upper hand, but we cannot say that we have a guaranteed chance of victory.
Because there are nearly 5,000 Xiou soldiers on the other side, and there are only more than 1,000 Qin troops here.
There is a huge advantage in numbers.
Furthermore, the cavalry running like the wind on horseback cannot withstand the defense of those giant elephants. Once they get close to those giant elephants, an elephant roar can scare away a group of war horses.
"General, if we continue like this, our army's equipment advantage will be gone. Can we get new reinforcements?"
Looking at the dwindling number of Han Xin's cavalry, Wu Nian looked at Han Xin in a panic.
Han Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "I have already sent someone to notify the young master. I don't know if the young master has received the news."
"this"
Wu Nian hesitated for a moment and sighed: "If you can rescue me in time, we might be able to kill these Yue people."
"Don't think so much first, let's see what the situation is like!"
Han Xin waved his hand to interrupt Wu Nian's words and looked up to the front.
I saw a middle-aged man in front of me who was protected by soldiers from the Xiou Kingdom, staring at him. He couldn't help but said: "Who is that person? It seems that his identity is not simple!"
"That person."
Wu Nian looked at it carefully and said thoughtfully: "Looking at the clothes that man is wearing, he should be a noble from Xiou Kingdom."
"The nobles of Xiou Kingdom will go to the battlefield?"
"Normally not
"Then this."
"Perhaps they are here to take credit. They think this sneak attack is a sure win."
"snort!"
Han Xin snorted noncommittally, ignored the middle-aged man, and calmly commanded the Qin army to counterattack the Vietnamese army.
And that middle-aged man was none other than Zou Che.
At this time, he was being guarded by guards in the formation. He was watching the Xiou soldiers falling to the ground outside, and his heart was bleeding. He wished that Han Xin, who was commanding the Qin army's counterattack, would be bitten to death.
However, the weapons of the Qin army far exceeded his knowledge. Those weapons that fired ten crossbow arrows in a row were something he had never seen or heard of, and those stones that exploded when stepped on were like artifacts.
"Father, if this continues, we may have nothing!"
Translator Song saw that Zou Che still refused to give the order to retreat, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
These Xiou Kingdom soldiers are the last family members of Xiou. Once these Xiou Kingdom soldiers die here, Xiou Kingdom will also exist in name only.
However, Zou Che looked at Yi Xusong like a furious wolf and said angrily: "It's all because of you, it's all because you told me that no one knows about that secret passage. Now tell me, what exactly is this?" what's going on?!"
"Father, I."
Translator Song opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Zou Che was so angry that he pulled out the sword from his waist and was about to kill Yi Xusong. Fortunately, the soldiers around him stopped him, otherwise a "tiger poisoned and eaten son" drama would have been staged on the battlefield.
"Even if you have some complaints against me, you can't ignore the lives of the soldiers."
Seeing his father actually drawing a sword against him, Yi Yusong's heart felt cold and he said coldly.
"That's enough! I don't need your teaching!"
Zou Che angrily broke away from the soldiers who were blocking him, and then gave a frantic order: "Give me the order to have all the elephant soldiers attack the camp. The rear army becomes the front army and fight back!"
"Father!"
The translator called Song Dahai: "You are asking us to die."
"This is an order!"
Zou Che emphasized without a doubt, then drew his sword and prepared to fight Han Xin to the death.
However, the translator Song was unmoved.
"Yi Xusong, do you want to rebel?"
Zou Che asked the translator Song with a ferocious face.
Yi Xusong frowned and said coldly: "I can't let them die in vain!"
"you!"
Zou Che was furious and was about to order the guards to arrest Yi Xusong. At this moment, the older elder on the side seemed to have discovered something terrible. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you... look. "
"What are you looking at!?"
Zou Che looked for the sound impatiently and saw torches all over the mountains and plains, moving rapidly towards him.
"this"
"No! New reinforcements from the Qin Army have arrived again, retreat quickly!"
Before Zou Che could react, Yi Yusong immediately shouted around.
Immediately afterwards, he led his men, left Zou Che decisively, and escaped alone.
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar.
Some people's faces changed drastically and they panicked.
Some people were furious and yelled.
He even threw away his weapons and prepared to surrender to the Qin army.
At this time, Han Xin, who was guarding the camp, also noticed the situation and couldn't help shouting: "Reinforcements! Young Master's reinforcements have arrived!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was excited and shouted loudly.
"Come on! Catch them alive!"
"Uuuuuuu——!"
A clarion call for counterattack spread in the next moment.
The Qin troops who were originally stationed in the camp chased the fleeing Xiou soldiers one after another, and they were out of control.
Han Xinzong immediately stepped forward, looked at Zou Che who was standing there, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you and why don't you run?"
As the winner, Han Xin felt that he had to be polite, so he did not draw his sword directly.
After all, this victory was a bit of a fluke.
I saw Zou Che holding a sword and looking at Han Xin with cold eyes: "I am the king of Xiou Kingdom, how can I flee in the face of battle!?"
"The king of Xiou Kingdom?"
Han Xin was slightly surprised and thought to himself, this is a big fish!
He never expected that the majestic king of Xiou Kingdom would actually lead a military expedition in person.
However, the king of such a barbarian country is nothing, so why should I be polite to him?
After pondering for a moment, Han Xin frowned and asked: "Since you are the king of the country, why are you so unwise to raise troops to invade our country, Qin? If you are wise, surrender and surrender. Maybe I, the Emperor of Qin, can spare your life!"
"snort!"
Zou Che snorted coldly and said angrily: "My ancestor Gou Jian of the Yue Kingdom was the hegemon before your ancestors of the Qin Kingdom. How can you, the Qin people, have the face to ask my descendants of Gou Jian to surrender? You are just a group of barbarians from the Western Wilderness!"
"presumptuous!"
When all the Qin troops heard this, they were immediately furious. They drew their swords one by one and prepared to kill the king of Xiou who had no one to show his name.
However, Han Xin was not angry and remained calm and honest;
"There is a saying in the Central Plains that heroes of this time and that time do not care about their origins. Although our Great Qin started late, we still strive to dominate the Central Plains. Although your ancestors dominated the Central Plains earlier, they achieved nothing. Comparing the two, it is fair to say!"
"Public opinion?"
Zou Che sneered, "You, the Great Qin, barbarically annexed the six kingdoms and coveted me, Baiyue. How can there be any justice? Now that I have become a king and defeated a bandit, I don't want to say anything more. My defeat is not because I am incompetent, but because God does not bless me." , only for me to fall short!"
"You are so conceited that no one knows the secret of Fei Ying Stream, so you want to change your fate against fate. If our army hadn't accidentally found out, you would have really fallen into your trap!"
"That being said, it's really God's will."
"hehe."
Han Xin smiled noncommittally and said, "It's up to people to make things happen, but it's up to God to plan things!"
"Okay, everything depends on people, and everything depends on heaven. May I ask the name of the general?"
"His name is Han Xin! Han from South Korea, Xin from Reputation!"
Before Han Xin could speak, Zhao Hao's voice came from not far away.
Han Xin was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Young Master——!"
"Han Xin, you did a good job! Thanks to you this time!"
Zhao Hao rode on the horse and responded happily, then cast his eyes on Zou Che and said calmly, "Are you the King of Xiou?"
"Um?"
Zou Che was stunned for a moment and asked: "Are you Young Master Hao?"
"Exactly~"
"You are really young."
"Just think you are complimenting me!"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and then curiously asked, "Aren't you going to surrender?"
"If I, the king of Xiou, surrender to the Qin Dynasty, how would I be able to see my ancestors, and how would I be able to look like the princes and grandsons of Yue?"
Zou Che said calmly: "As long as you let my people go, I will kill myself on the spot. What do you think?"
"Not really."
Zhao Hao shook his head, then suddenly thought of something and looked around: "Why don't you see Yi Xusong?"
"snort!"
Zou Che snorted coldly: "That traitor has already run away!"
"Ran?"
Zhao Hao frowned, looking a little unhappy.
Zou Che's eyes narrowed, as if he saw something, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that traitor?"
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and said with a half-smile: "Not only do we know each other, I also said that I would help him kill his brother and help him become the king of Xiou."
"you!"
Zou Che was so angry that his eyes were straight and his lips were trembling.
What does it mean to kill people and punish the heart? This is called killing people and killing the heart.
Is there anything more tragic and infuriating than having your own son plot against you?
"That's it, that's it"
Zou Che suddenly realized it, with tears in his eyes, and he was filled with grief and anger: "It turns out that traitor had already planned that I, Xiou, will be destroyed!"
After saying that, he immediately raised his sword, placed it across his neck, and shouted angrily: "Ancestor, Zou Che is here!"
With a 'pop' sound, blood slowly flowed out along the long sword. The body swayed, and the stalwart body collapsed.
"Your Majesty——!"
All the Xiou elders burst into tears and were extremely sad.
