"Your Majesty, is our plan accomplished?"
After watching Zhao Tuo, Ren Xiao and others ride away, Jie Jun turned to look at Yi Xusong and asked in a low voice.
Yi Xusong narrowed his eyes and said in deep thought: "Based on my understanding of Zhao Tuo, he should not be in a desperate situation with the Qin State. However, the Qin State can no longer keep him. I think he will find another way out."
"Now the people of Minyue are panicking. Wuzhu may not be able to resist Qin. Baiyue will definitely fall into Qin's hands by then. How can he find another way out?"
"Although I don't know where his way out is, he definitely has a way out. We have to prepare early."
"Then" Jie Jun said tentatively: "Should we inform Han Xin?
"Being not."
Yi Xusong shook his head, with a thoughtful look on his face, and after a moment, he said thoughtfully: "I'm thinking, if we help Young Master Hao capture Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao, what will Young Master Hao do to us? "
Jie Jun smiled and said: "We have successfully helped Young Master Hao instigate Minyue before, and if we help Young Master Hao win over Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao, we will definitely have a seat in Baiyue County!"
"oh?"
Yi Xusong's eyes widened. If he could be the governor of a county, it would be much better than inheriting the dilapidated kingdom of Xiou.
After thinking about it, I immediately decided: "Let's not follow the plan first and try their depth!"
"this"
Jie Jun was speechless and didn't know what to say.
But the decision to translate Xu Song can indeed be given a try.
After all, the opportunity is right in front of you, and you can be greedy if you can.
After nightfall, in addition to Han Xin who was already on the Linshui River, Yi Xusong and Jie Jun led more than 20,000 Xiou troops to station outside the crossing mouth. At the same time, Zhao Hao and Chen Ping came from the flanks.
Among the 40,000 people, cavalry and infantry accounted for half each. Yi Xusong and Jie Jun had already formed their formations, ready to welcome Zhao Tuo's army's sneak attack at any time.
In the night when the water was dripping and turned into ice, the sergeants were shivering with cold. Even Yi Xusong and others, who were accustomed to staying in the south behind them, did not want to say a word. They just looked quietly to the west, where Zhao Tuo's army's grain and grass farm was. camp.
Everyone knew that tonight was the last moment for them to close the net. Standing in the jungle night, if they were not careful, something might slip through the net.
However, this risk is shared by them, and someone has to step forward.
"coming."
Yi Xusong, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and looked sharply at the dark front.
Although they were well prepared, they still couldn't help but feel nervous when faced with those terrifying artillery.
Outside the ferry, there is a rectangular square formation, with rows of soldiers standing on the outside with shields. They put their spears against their shields and were ready to deal with the cavalry attack.
The cavalrymen in the back row clenched their spears, waiting for Song's military orders to be translated and ready to take action at any time.
This so-called night attack, as the military lines gradually approached under the night, became a head-to-head confrontation.
Yi Xusong raised his right hand high and visually inspected Zhao Tuo's army at the front. When he was only eighty steps away from him, he suddenly waved down: "Fire the arrow!"
The two thousand crossbowmen behind the shields heard the sound and moved with arrows raining down. Zhao Tuo's army instantly fell on its back. Hundreds of cavalry fell to the ground. Even if they did not fall to death, they were trampled to death by the cavalry who came up from behind.
More than three hundred cavalrymen had already charged forward. When they rushed to the shield and faced the sharp spears, their horses raised their heads high out of reflex.
There was a cavalryman who was slightly inferior in equestrian skills, and he and his horse fell to the ground.
This phalanx did have a good effect when resisting the cavalry charge. Song, the translator of the Central Military Department, breathed a sigh of relief.
When Han Xin sent someone to contact him, he couldn't believe his eyes because he never thought that one day he would fight jointly with the Qin army.
Moreover, Han Xin not only sent someone to contact him, but also asked him to train a group of defensive warriors.
The military formations used by these defensive warriors were exactly what Han Xin gave to the translator Song.
"Follow me! Skip the formation!"
Under the cover of night, Zhao Tuo rushed out of the torrent of cavalry like lightning. He inserted a spear into the soil, supported the spear with both arms, jumped up from the horse, and stepped on the shield in front of him.
With each step, the sergeant who was desperately resisting behind the shield felt a huge force coming from him, and even the shield flew out.
When Zhao Tuo landed on the horse again, there was a space in front of him. A hundred generals raised their shields to fill the gap. Zhao Tuo shot him from the side. He only felt as if his arm had been hit hard. It was like a hammer hit, and the whole arm was sunk in.
This operation made Yi Xusong couldn't help but smack his lips. He didn't expect that Zhao Tuo actually had such force!
"Hey! The thief will be decapitated!"
Seeing Zhao Tuo rushing into the military formation as if there was no one around, killing everyone in pieces, Jie Jun, who was standing behind Yi Xusong, immediately rushed towards Zhao Tuo with his gun.
"General Jie Jun, be careful! Zhao Tuo is very skilled in martial arts!"
Yi Xusong shouted loudly, but did not dare to take action rashly.
As the commander-in-chief of this war, he needs to keep an eye on all directions and direct the movement of troops and horses at this time.
Facing the sudden attack of Jie Jun, Zhao Tuo sneered and without saying a word, he ducked sideways and attacked the opponent's front door sharply with the spear in his hand, slashing and stabbing. Just after the exchange, Jie Jun fell into a disadvantage. .
Zhao Tuo's spear danced like meteors and lightning, with afterimages. Jie Jun raised his spear to block, and his body had to keep swaying in order to resist his attack.
He is also a master of marksmanship and is well versed in the art of marksmanship, but after a fight, he can only parry and has no power to fight back.
For a moment, he felt that he was facing Yi Xusong with full firepower. If it weren't for the constant attacks of soldiers on the left and right, which distracted Zhao Tuo's attention, Jie Jun was almost knocked off his horse by Zhao Tuo.
"Mu Lin! Break!"
Ren Xiao, who was charging into the formation side by side with Mu Lin, shouted loudly and then threw the chain in his hand.
Mu Lin held the gun in one hand, accurately caught the chain with the other, and pulled hard instantly.
The horses of the two men jumped up in unison in front of the shield soldiers. With the powerful inertia, seven or eight sergeants holding shields were dragged away by the iron chains.
The Song army's formation was completely in disarray. The sparse shield soldiers were unable to withstand the attack of Zhao Tuo's army. The cavalry including shield soldiers and crossbowmen fell in pieces under the strong attack of Zhao Tuo's army.
Seeing that his subordinates were about to break through Song Zhongjun, Zhao Tuo became more energetic and swiped the spear in his hand horizontally. Jie Jun blocked it with both hands.
After the two spears collided, Zhao Tuo plunged the spear into the ground, jumped up from the horse again, and kicked Jie Jun who had just taken care of him.
Jie Jun's chest was kicked hard by Zhao Tuo, and the whole thing flew out, and even the heart-protecting armor on his chest was dented.
Jie Jun was so frightened that he quickly got up. Before he could stand upright, Zhao Tuo's spear had already stabbed him.
When he was only 0.01 centimeters away from his throat, the spear was suddenly knocked crooked.
"General Jie Jun, leave quickly!"
When Zhao Tuo saw that the person coming was Yi Xu Song, he couldn't help but become a little more angry, and stabbed Yi Xu Song fiercely with his spear.
This blow was as fast as lightning. Unexpectedly, Yi Xusong's second strike arrived first, deflecting Zhao Tuo's spear in the air, and then continued to turn towards Zhao Tuo's throat.
Although Zhao Tuo and Yi Xusong had dealt with each other many times, this kind of battle had never happened before. The two fought back and forth without any panic.
They turned around against their horses' backs and fought head-on for dozens of rounds, then adjusted their bodies and continued fighting.
Zhao Tuo stopped looking down on him and even ignored the approaching rebel troops, focusing on dealing with Yi Xusong.
In the void, sparks did not appear suddenly, but appeared one after another, and each time they were accompanied by the harsh sound of metal pulling.
The intensity of the battle between the two made people shiver when they heard it.
"Yi Xusong, I didn't expect you to have such shooting skills, but I admire you!"
After the wrong horse, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for his talent: "Are you interested in working together again?"
"Ah!"
Yi Xusong sneered and did not answer.
Because they are not competing with generals, but commanding the three armies to fight.
The Xiou Army visible to the naked eye has been cut into countless small pieces by Zhao Tuo's Army and is slowly being devoured.
General Han Xin was right. Although Zhao Tuo was no match for General Wang, he was not someone he could easily defeat.
Thinking of this, Yi Yusong immediately made a decision and planned to take down Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao not by his own efforts, but to act according to Han Xin's plan.
"The elephant soldiers will cut off the rear with me, and the rest will retreat quickly!"
Translator Song shouted loudly, quickly turned his horse's head and left Zhao Tuo behind, and walked away.
Other Xiou generals led their men to continuously merge with the Western European army that was divided into small pieces, and then fled towards Linshui.
The elephant soldiers are the strongest soldiers in the Xiou army. In addition to temporarily containing Zhao Tuo's army, they can also buy time for the defeated guerrillas to disperse and leave the battlefield. This was Yi Xu Song's plan.
However, after tens of thousands of people are fighting together, unless you have made arrangements in advance, it will be very difficult to implement any improvised plan, not to mention that even the elephant soldiers have been scattered.
After seeing the withdrawal of the army, the elephant soldiers who did not receive the order from Yi Xusong immediately followed them and retreated reflexively.
In the end, there were only a thousand elephant soldiers who gathered around Yi Xusong.
Even so, Yi Xusong's face was like a flat lake, and the spear in his hand swung out fierce afterimages, accompanied by the snowflakes in the sky, like hungry wolves pouncing on food, killing Zhao Tuo's army who rushed forward. .
However, in the face of the doubled Zhao Tuo army, even if Song Yi was extremely brave, he was still in danger of being surrounded by Zhao Tuo's army.
"Your Majesty, retreat quickly! They are about to encircle you! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Jie Jun quickly shouted to the translator Song.
"Come with me!"
Yi Xusong looked around, pulled the reins in his hands, and rushed out as if he was practicing for nothing.
Along the way, they continued to kill the approaching Zhao Tuo army.
"Get out! Get out!"
Yi Xusong held a spear in one hand and a horse rope in the other, sweeping wide and wide, and finally opened a hole.
"General, Yiyu Song is about to escape. Should we take advantage of the victory and pursue him?"
Ren Xiao, who was following Zhao Tuo, came on horseback.
After Zhao Tuo nodded, his eyes suddenly widened.
its not right! No matter how capable Yi Xusong was, he would never have guessed that he would attack the camp tonight!
unless
Zhao Tuo nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream: "I understand, he did not expect that we would attack the camp, but wanted to use our heads to claim credit for Zhao Hao;
If we hadn't greeted them before, we would have caught them off guard! "
Zhao Tuo, who became more and more excited as he thought about it, couldn't help laughing, and immediately ordered: "All officers and men obey the order and follow me to kill them all!"
"promise!"
Zhao Tuo rode out, followed by the army behind him, running wildly.
Accompanied by the thundering sound of fighting, Zhao Tuo led an army of more than 10,000 people, like a dagger inserted into the rebel army.
Taking advantage of the charge of the war horses, the spears in his hands swept away several elephant soldiers in an instant.
He was extremely fast and rushed in front of Yi Yusong.
Looking at Yi Xusong who was covered in blood, he shouted: "Yi Xusong, you want to take credit for my head, but you don't even look at your own abilities. Today, Japan will know how powerful you are!"
After saying that, the spear in his hand suddenly turned and flew away the elephant soldiers beside Yi Xusong.
Before Yi Xusong could turn around and fight him, he started the massacre mode.
Seeing Zhao Tuo becoming more and more aggressive in killing, Yi Yusong's face sank to the bottom of his face, regretting that he did not act according to Han Xin's plan.
"Escape quickly! There is a valley ahead with a narrow entrance. If we hold the elephant at the entrance, we will be safe!"
Yi Xusong shouted loudly to calm the soldiers' morale, and rushed towards Zhao Tuo who was rushing towards him.
Even if he knew that he was no match for Zhao Tuo, he still had to rush over.
Because only in this way can he appease the morale of the soldiers as quickly as possible.
The two spears once again made a harsh sound, and sparks flew everywhere.
Facing Zhao Tuo's overwhelming offensive, even if Yi Xusong used his special skills, he still couldn't get much advantage and could only retreat while fighting.
Seeing that the more than a thousand elephant soldiers he had gathered gradually retreated into the valley entrance.
Yi Xu Song no longer hesitated, decisively abandoned Zhao Tuo and rushed towards the valley.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Tuo sneered and immediately ordered to Ren Xiao: "Ren Xiao, pull up our artillery and test its power!"
"good!"
Ren Xiao had long wanted to test the power of the artillery. Now that he had this opportunity to test the artillery, he naturally refused to let it go.
Dozens of sergeants were seen, pushing several artillery pieces one by one and placing them at the mouth of the valley. Then they all turned to look at Ren Xiao.
Ren Xiao subconsciously rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Don't look at me, fire quickly!"
"this"
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
But I heard a captain say quickly: "I am a county lieutenant. It's not that we don't want to fire cannons, but that we can't fire cannons!"
"Can't fire?"
Ren Xiao was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"It's just that this cannon is fake!"
"Fake? How could it be fake?"
Ren Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
The captain looked embarrassed: "General, I have seen real artillery on the ship. It cannot be said that it is completely different from the artillery in our hands. It can only be said to be superficial!"
When Ren Xiao heard this, he was furious. Was he risking his life to grab a bunch of fakes?
Hold!
Who did this?
Seeing Ren Xiao dumbfounded, Zhao Tuo on the side couldn't help but vent his anger on the captain: "Since you know that the artillery is fake, why didn't you tell me earlier? Failure to report the knowledge is a death penalty! Come on! Drag him down. Behead it!"
"What an injustice! What an injustice! The general has told General Mu Lin before, and it was General Mu Lin who told the general not to speak out!"
When the captain saw that Zhao Tuo wanted to kill him to vent his anger, he immediately shook Mu Lin out.
Mu Lin's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to defend himself, but saw Zhao Tuo looking at him with murderous intent.
He knew that Zhao Tuo could no longer believe in him, so he smiled and said: "General, you guessed it right, I betrayed you again!"
