Among the Chu army, Lord Changping stood on his chariot and looked towards the battlefield. When he saw the Qin army on the east side of the plain, he suddenly sent reinforcements. His face did not show the slightest panic. The situation on the battlefield that day showed that Lord Changping was determined to rebel. Empress Qin has rehearsed this in her mind countless times.
Therefore, all the actions of the Qin army at this time were within the expectations of Lord Changping.
In the eyes of Lord Changping.
In this battle, as long as there is a fight, Bai Yan will only be defeated and will have no chance of winning.
"Mr. Changping, the Qin army has sent elite cavalry to the flanks of our army!"
Qu Yi was riding a war horse among the Chu army, watching the actions of the Qin army from a distance. When he saw countless Qin cavalry leaving the Qin army behind the battlefield, he immediately became vigilant, turned his head and looked at the soldiers. Mr. Changping in the car.
"General Huang Xia of the left army, immediately lead troops to defend the left wing!"
Lord Changping naturally also saw Qin Jun’s actions.
This scene did not worry Lord Changping much. As for Qin's cavalry, Lord Changping knew how powerful it was, not to mention that Zhao Bianqi, who had killed and injured countless soldiers of Qin before, was now under Bai Yan's command.
But still a word.
The square and round formation has been the same through the ages, and the offense and defense are integrated. In the past, Bai Qi was helpless.
Seeing that Bai Yan had mobilized all the side cavalry and iron cavalry, Lord Changping's eyes were full of anger. Now that the iron cavalry and side cavalry were used, he wanted to see what Bai Yan had in store.
"Mr. Changping, the Qin army cannot break through the square formation and will definitely flee!"
Xiang Le said.
After listening to Xiang Le's words, Xiang Quan and other Chu generals looked at the battlefield. When they saw the Qin soldiers on the battlefield hesitating and reducing their offensive sharply, everyone instantly understood what Xiang Le meant.
If Bai Yan is unable to attack for a long time, the morale of the Qin army will definitely be affected, and the longer Bai Yan delays, the greater the blow will be to the soldiers of the Qin army.
Think of this.
All the Chu generals smiled as if they were sure of victory, and seemed to have seen Bai Yan's defeat and escape.
"Don't be careless!"
Lord Changping on the chariot looked at the situation on the battlefield and his eyes moved, but he was worried that these Chu generals would underestimate the enemy, so he did not show it.
Looking at the battlefield.
Chang Pingjun couldn't help but think of the past scene where he and Chang Wenjun were deducing military formations in the study.
At that time, he and Chang Wenjun had been worried that after betraying Qin, Yingzheng would be furious and would dispatch Wang Jian to lead the Qin army to attack Chu. Therefore, the two of them tried every means to find the square formation and continued to deduce it. They even looked for opportunities many times to let Xiang Yan practiced secretly in Chu State to find a place to break the formation.
All this is for the future when veteran general Wang Jian leads the Qin army to attack Chu. They will not only be able to resist Wang Jian, but also be able to defend Qin from Chu.
From the beginning to the end, neither he nor Chang Wenjun imagined that one day, the opponent using the square formation for the first time would be Bai Yan instead of the veteran Wang Jian.
"My brother and I are connected by blood, how can we not advance and retreat together!"
"Brother, after rebelling against Qin, Ying Zheng will definitely send Wang Jian to lead troops to attack Chu..."
"Brother, veteran General Wang Jian, I'm afraid this formation will give him insight, but it doesn't matter, Wang Jian's ability, even if he notices it, he can't break it!"
"Brother, please be patient. We will encircle and destroy the Qin army in the east of Chu, except for Bai Yan. One day, Wang Jian will lead the army to attack Chu. Xiang Yan will be the general, and I will be the assistant. Ying Zheng and Wang Jian intend to destroy Chu. What a crazy idea!"
The scenes of getting along with Chang Wenjun in the past appeared in Changpingjun's mind. Changwenjun's face and past conversations were vivid in his mind.
And now!
Standing on the chariot, Lord Changping turned his head slightly and could see the wooden box in the hands of his confidant.
Recalling the past, Bai Yan tied Chang Wenjun's head to a wooden trailer...
Looking back on the past, in Suiyang City, I saw with my own eyes Chang Wenjun's head being placed on a wooden trailer. Chang Wenjun kept his eyes open until his death, full of reluctance.
As memories emerged one after another, Lord Changping's eyes turned red, and an unprecedented hatred and rage filled his heart, making Lord Changping tremble all over.
Today he must use the square formation to personally destroy the Qin army and cut off Bai Yan's head to comfort Lord Chang Wen's spirit in heaven.
Among the Chu army.
Just when Lord Changping was full of resentment, he turned his head to look at the battlefield.
Suddenly.
Lord Changping and many other Chu generals suddenly heard the sound of the drums of the Qin army behind the battlefield. This sudden drum sound made Changping Lord and all the Chu generals look at the Qin army behind the battlefield.
Hearing the sound of drums resounding throughout the battlefield, Chu generals Xiang Le, Xiang Quan and others had not yet reacted, but Lord Changping, who had been in Qin for many years, suddenly became shocked.
The Qin army is about to retreat! ! !
Lord Changping knew in his heart that he would never mishear the sound of Qin drums!
Sure enough, with the judgment, in less than a few breaths, Lord Changping looked at the battlefield and clearly saw that the Qin soldiers across the battlefield were crowded, constantly leaving the battlefield, and slowly retreating.
"The Qin army is about to withdraw!"
"Mr. Changping, the Qin army is about to withdraw!!"
At this time, Xiang Le, Xiang Quan, Yan Chen, Jin Li and other Chu generals also clearly saw the changes in the battlefield, and suddenly frowned and spoke.
Looking at the actions of the Qin army, everyone noticed at this time that although the Qin army's iron cavalry and side cavalry were dispatched, they did not rush into the Chu army's formation, but consumed the Chu army with arrows on the left wing.
Obviously, Bai Yan had no intention of letting Qin's cavalry break the formation from the beginning.
Think of this.
Almost everyone could not help but have the thought that Bai Yan wanted to withdraw his troops! ! !
"Changping Lord, you must not let the Qin army leave! Otherwise Bai Yan will be unable to defeat the formation and will never lead the troops in a decisive battle again!"
Xiang Le looked at the Qin army retreating on the battlefield and hurriedly looked at Chang Wenjun and said.
In Xiang Le's eyes, the current opportunity was hard-won. When his father led the army, Bai Yan had been sticking to the city and refused to go out of the city to fight head-on. This was also the reason why his father had been helpless with Bai Yan.
The opportunity is rare now, and the Qin army has begun to show the momentum of defeat. If Bai Yan is allowed to leave at this time, Xiang Le will know that Bai Yan will definitely not lead troops to fight the Chu army head-on before he is sure in the future.
If this is true, when his father returns from leading the army, Xiang Le will never have the chance to take revenge and avenge his previous humiliation.
Think of this.
Xiang Le looked at Lord Changping anxiously, he must not let the Qin army leave the battlefield.
"Bai Yan must have realized that there was no hope of breaking the formation, so he decisively retreated! Looking back at Bai Yan's past leadership, he was a decisive general. Qin general Bai Yan must not be allowed to leave! Otherwise, after this battle, Bai Yan will definitely withdraw to Chudong. , defend the city to the death!"
Xiang Quan also spoke at this time.
At this time, not only Xiang Le and Xiang Quan, but also Qu Yi and other Chu generals were shocked by Bai Yan's decisiveness when they saw that the Qin army was about to retreat within an hour of fighting.
Everyone thought at first that Bai Yan would continue to try to break the formation and use all possible means to attack the square formation. Unexpectedly, Bai Yan would withdraw his troops in the blink of an eye.
"Send the order! Change formation!"
Standing on the chariot, Lord Changping did not need to be reminded by others. He had already made his decision almost as soon as he saw the Qin army retreating.
After finally getting a chance to take revenge, destroy the Qin army and kill Bai Yan, how could Lord Changping just watch the opportunity go away.
Following Chang Pingjun's order.
"Change of formation!"
"Change!!"
In the entire Chu army's military formation, the two outermost square formations were resisting the Qin army. Within the square formation, between dozens of square formations, Chu army scouts passing orders came and went quickly. The order was passed, and for a while, the Chu army's drumming also changed.
On the battlefield.
All the soldiers of the Chu army heard the change of the drums of the army. In the square formation, the generals of the Chu army also heard the order.
So under the orders of the Chu army generals, all the Chu soldiers in the square formations began to move.
The square and round formation, originally a dense round formation composed of countless square formations, accompanied the Qin army's slow retreat. Under the order of Lord Changping, it began to
Making huge changes, next to the corpses of countless Qin and Chu soldiers, the Chu army formations, which were originally facing in one direction, began to tilt toward each other like a pair of pliers that were gradually closing, and quickly joined forces to attack the Qin army that was preparing to evacuate.
In the square formation behind the Chu army, rows of Chu soldiers raised their crossbows again and began to fire arrows at the Qin army that was crossing the battlefield and preparing to evacuate.
The square formation soon turned into a long formation that began to surround the Qin army, and within the long formation, each Chu army formation had a clear division of labor.
In the entire Chu army's formation, there were phalanxes participating in the encirclement, phalanxes defending the flanks, and phalanxes ambush enemy attacks from the rear...
"ah!!!"
"ah!!"
Qin soldiers holding long spears faced the Chu army's sudden change of formation. While retreating, they stabbed their spears desperately to resist. However, among the spears thrust by the Chu soldiers, Qin soldiers continued to be injured and screamed. , even directly stabbed to death and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, countless arrows were fired, causing huge casualties to the Qin soldiers behind them. One after another, the Qin soldiers fell to the ground.
Many Qin soldiers glanced at the Qin soldiers who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Before they could react, they turned their heads and were shot by the Chu army's arrows, turning into corpses and falling to the ground.
in a blink.
With more and more casualties, the morale of the Qin soldiers also dropped rapidly, and the defeat became more and more obvious in resisting the Chu army.
on the entire battlefield.
The Chu army continued to attack, and watched as the Qin army's defense line continued to collapse. The Qin army, which was fighting across the battlefield with the Chu army, was about to be torn open by the Chu army. Even with the continuous phalanx of the Chu army, it extended on both sides. For the Qin army that is about to retreat, it will soon form a siege.
This scene was seen by all the Chu generals in the Chu army behind the battlefield, including Chang Pingjun, Xiang Le, Xiang Quan, Qu Yi, etc. They all looked relaxed, thinking that victory was in their grasp.
Suddenly.
Behind the battlefield, the drumbeat of the Qin army changed again.
As the Qin Army's drum beat changed, a group of hundreds of Qin soldiers suddenly rushed out among countless Qin soldiers from the Qin Army's defense line, which was originally somewhat defeated.
These Qin soldiers who rushed out were all tall and strong, and their bodies were covered with iron armor from head to toe. They raised their hands with Qin swords and rushed towards the Chu army's formation.
In the Chu army's formation, countless Chu soldiers held spears and looked at this scene in shock. Then all the Chu soldiers opened their eyes wide, because as they watched, those Qin soldiers were alive with their spears and bumped into the Chu army. phalanx.
Before the Chu soldiers at the front could react, the Qin swords in the hands of the armored soldiers kept stabbing and hacking at the Chu soldiers.
The Chu army's formation, which was still changing and encircling, was instantly blocked at the initial encirclement place due to the appearance of the Qin army's armor. What was even more terrifying was that as the Chu army's formation began to have gaps, gaps appeared in the encirclement. Behind the armored soldiers, countless Qin troops followed, with the momentum of forcibly tearing apart the Chu army's formation.
"What's going on? How could the Qin army suddenly have an armored soldier?"
"armor!!!"
The changes that occurred on the battlefield shocked the Chu generals such as Xiang Le, Xiang Quan, Qu Yi and others. Because they were in the Chu army looking at the battlefield from a distance, no one expected that the Qin army would be on the battlefield. , hiding an elite armored battalion.
On the chariot, Lord Changping looked at the changes on the battlefield, and his eyes narrowed. However, at this moment, Lord Changping was still not worried that Bai Yan would have a chance of winning.
If the square formation was broken by an elite Qin army, how could Zhao Kuo be able to withstand the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops led by Bai Qi in the past?
"Um?"
Suddenly.
Lord Changping, who was standing on the chariot, noticed that with the defeat of the Qin army fighting on the battlefield, a void appeared on the right side of the Qin army behind the battlefield. At this time, with the encirclement of the army, if troops were sent to attack now, Even if Bai Yan had the power to reach heaven, he would not be able to save him in time.
Following this thought, Chang Pingjun's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Thinking that the opportunity to win is close at hand, destroying the Qin army and getting rid of Bai Yan, Lord Changping will be able to win again.
He glanced at the battlefield for the first time to confirm the situation of the entire battlefield.
"General Xiang Le!"
Lord Changping said.
"The general is here!"
When Xiang Le heard what Lord Changping said, he quickly turned around on his horse and saluted Lord Changping.
In the eyes of Xiang Quan, Qu Yi and other Chu generals, Lord Changping, who was wearing Chu armor, turned his head and gave an order.
"Immediately lead the Chu cavalry and 30,000 infantry to surprise the Qin army's right wing!"
After Changping Jun finished speaking, he continued to look up at the Qin army to the east of the plain. His breathing was rapid and his eyes were full of urgency. He was afraid that at the next moment, Bai Yan would realize that with the defeat of the Qin army on the battlefield, the Qin army's right wing was lost.
"The right wing of the Qin army?"
After hearing what Lord Changping said, Xiang Quan, Xiang Le and others turned their heads to look to the east of the plain, the right wing of the Qin army, and found that the Qin army seemed to have made a fatal mistake.
The Qin army's right wing was actually undefended!
Thinking of this, most of the Chu generals, including Xiang Le and Xiang Quan, looked excited, while a few Chu generals, such as a general named Yu Ding, suddenly frowned.
"Promise! The final general will definitely fulfill his mission and defeat the Qin Dynasty!"
Xiang Le greeted Lord Changping with excitement and received orders.
However, as Xiang Le finished speaking, the general Yu Ding hurriedly turned around on his horse and saluted Lord Changping.
"Mr. Changping, I am worried, this is a flaw deliberately exposed by the Qin army!"
Yu Ding frowned, looked at Lord Changping and said. He turned around and saw the Qin army to the east of the plain. Looking at the flaws of the Qin army, he was filled with worry.
Although the Qin army was initially defeated on the battlefield, there was such a big flaw...
Bai Yan actually doesn't know?
While thinking.
Yu Ding became increasingly uneasy and turned to look at Lord Changping, hoping that Lord Changping would take back the order.
Especially when I think about it, Bai Yan ordered the withdrawal of troops without losing much troops as soon as he attacked the square formation. He was so decisive and did not make any attempts. This was very different from the expected casualties of the Qin army led by Bai Yan after breaking the formation. Even worlds apart.
Bai Yan is by no means a mediocre general! To withdraw troops so decisively without even making an attempt is definitely not a choice that an ordinary general can make.
"Deliberately exposing a flaw? Yu Ding, tell me, since it was intentional, then if I lead the Chu cavalry and 30,000 elite troops to attack, how will Bai Yan respond?"
Xiang Le rode his war horse and looked at Yu Ding aside, frowning and asking.
When Xiang Quan, Qu Yi and others heard Xiang Le's words, they all looked at Yu Ding and the Qin army to the east of the plain. Everyone felt that Yu Ding was making a fuss and that the Chu general here was not the leader. How could they not see if the Qin army had a flaw and whether Bai Yan could rescue them?
"Mr. Changping, it's not too late. If Bai Yan reacts, this great opportunity will be completely lost. The general will immediately lead his troops to attack the Qin army!"
Xiang Le looked at Yu Ding looking at Qin Jun, unable to refute, turned to Lord Changping and said with his hands raised.
Lord Changping also glanced at Yu Ding. After hearing Yu Ding's reminder, Lord Changping looked at the Qin army east of the plain and frowned slightly. However, following Xiang Le's words, Lord Changping knew better that the opportunity was fleeting. If Bai Yan made amends in time, he would lose the good opportunity to win the battle.
"Attack Qin!"
In the end, Lord Changping decided to attack the Qin army.
With the square array in hand, Chang Pingjun did not believe that Bai Yan had any chance of winning, not to mention that Bai Yan had no way to remedy the flaws that were exposed.
"promise!"
After Xiang Le heard what Changping Jun said, he handed over his hands, glanced at Yu Ding, and then left.
Yu Ding looked at Xiang Le's leaving figure, his eyes full of worry. At this moment, Yu Ding didn't understand why Lord Changping was so anxious.
At this time, Yu Ding could not imagine what Fan Zeng thought of after seeing Lord Changping, Xiang Le, and Xiang Quan. So even though he knew that the Chu army had a square formation, he still did not hesitate and left in a hurry.
……………………
In the Qin army.
Bai Yan and all the Qin generals watched the battlefield change. When they saw that on the left wing, the Chu army suddenly sent a mighty Chu cavalry to attack, followed by a steady stream of Chu infantry.
The appearance of this scene shocked all the Qin army generals, and Yang Yan looked at Bai Yan beside him with a worried look.
At this time, Bai Yan was still looking at the battlefield calmly.
When they saw the nobles commanding the Iron Armored Battalion, they blocked one of the Chu army's formation changes. Then the Chu army sent Chu cavalry and the Chu army to attack the left wing.
Bai Yan's eyes were still patrolling the ever-changing battlefield, not missing any part.
"General!"
Yang Yan looked at Bai Yan, who was still silent, and at the Chu army that had already attacked from the left wing, with a worried expression on his face.
"General!"
"General!!"
At this time, Zan Shou, Yan Yue, Yu Feng, Yu Lu and others were also so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads. They looked at Chu Qi who was getting closer and closer. However, they had not waited for Bai Yan's order for a long time. This made all the former majestic people The stern General of Qin was now like an ant on a hot pot. His back was so nervous that even the palms holding the hilt of the sword at his waist were covered with sweat.
The Chu army is about to attack, why hasn’t the general given the order yet? ! !
It's almost too late! ! !
The general gave the order!
Many Qin generals were worried, with more and more sweat on their foreheads. Zan Shou and Yu Lu looked at each other, breathing uneasily.
Not only the generals of the Qin State, but also other generals of the Qin Army on horseback, and the soldiers of the Qin State, looked at the Chu army that had been coming from the left wing, but had not received the order for a long time, and they all looked at each other in panic.
Even the Qin army and all the messengers were quiet at this moment, feeling their hearts beating faster. They all looked at Bai Yan, riding on their horses, eagerly waiting for Bai Yan's order.
finally.
When everyone can't hold back and their hearts are in their throats.
Bai Yan looked at the battlefield, suddenly noticed something, and slowly pulled out the famous sword Zhanlu from his waist.
"found it!"
