Chapter 121, shocking the world

In the Qin army camp, Li You was suddenly startled when he heard the shouts of killing from behind the camp. He looked behind him with a look of disbelief. He could feel the ground shaking under his feet, shaking more and more intensely. Li You suddenly understood and shouted: "The enemy's cavalry is behind us."

Li Youdu was a little panicked. In this dark environment, he didn't know how many enemies were rushing toward them. He could only feel as if he were surrounded by enemies on all sides. This was the first time he encountered this situation. I don’t know how to deal with this time.

Zhai Bao said loudly: "General, don't worry, I will definitely lead the soldiers to stop the enemy's attack!"

At this time, the deep sound of horns filled the sky, and the rebel cavalry slowly accelerated. When approaching the Qin army's camp, several cavalrymen threw out hooks, hung them on the Qin army's fence, blocked horses and other obstacles, and pulled back quickly. After the war horse ran a few steps, the camp fence and the horses were pulled open, leaving a huge vacancy in the Qin army's camp.

The cavalry army, Xu Fan Shijian, Ji Xin, and Wu Sheng, were separated on the left and right wings. 5000 cavalry troops charged towards the Qin army's camp in a flying geese charge.

"Hurry, the faster the better, don't let the enemies gather!" As soon as they entered the Qin army's camp, the cavalry continued to speed up.

Xu Fan understood that what he needed now was speed. He had to kill the entire Qin Army camp as quickly as possible and kill the assembled Qin Army soldiers. If he slowed down, his cavalry soldiers would be extremely dangerous and would be killed. Tens of thousands of Qin troops surrounded him.

At this time, the Qin army was in a panic. They could hear the sounds of enemies appearing in front and behind the camp. The dark environment made it difficult for them to see how many enemies there were. The soldiers were extremely frightened at this time, and many soldiers were running around aimlessly. , their running caused other soldiers to panic.

Faced with this situation, Zhai Bao, who came to command the soldiers in the rear camp, directed the guard battalion to continuously kill the running soldiers, and shouted: "Don't run around, organize your formation and attack the enemy. There are not many enemies."

Zhai Bao was from Longxi and grew up herding cattle. He could tell by the sound of horse hooves that the rebels only had about 5000 cavalry at most. The number was not large at all. As long as the soldiers gathered together, deployed layers of defenses, and used all their strength Ways to block the enemy and slow down the enemy's attack speed. The enemy's cavalry will soon be unable to charge forward, and the cavalry that has lost its speed can only be a target for the infantry and will be easily defeated by the infantry phalanx.

"Counterattack, counterattack, kill the enemy" Zhai Bao roared, and at the same time commanded to assemble the formation and charge towards Xu Fan's cavalry.

He believed that the rebel leader had made a huge mistake. He left the plains unused and rushed into the camp with many obstacles, which was completely asking for death. Not only was he not afraid at this time, he was also thinking of ways to command the soldiers to encircle and annihilate the rebels. Military cavalry.

Xu Fan led the cavalry to burn several camps, defeated several small groups of Qin troops, and also discovered the Qin soldiers who were gathering. Of course, he could not watch Zhai Bao assemble the Qin troops.

He pointed his spear at Zhai Bao and said, "Speed ​​up and kill him!"

"Kill!" The rebel cavalry shouted and their voices went straight into the sky.

Thousands of war horses exerted their hooves, their huge bodies galloping rapidly, and the sound of the galloping horses was like the roar of thunder. Any enemy will turn into powder in front of this cavalry.

When Xu Fan's cavalry faced the Qin soldiers, they were filled with fear and uneasiness.

Zhai Bao noticed the uneasiness of the soldiers and encouraged loudly: "Hold your spears firmly, the enemy's cavalry will not be able to rush in. If you resist this wave, the enemy will die. The enemy's cavalry will not be able to break through our square formation." "

"Block the enemy!" Thousands of Qin soldiers shouted, and they used this method to encourage themselves.

"Boom!" The two armies collided and erupted with a shocking loud noise.

When Xu Fan rode his horse and approached the Qin army's position, he swept away the three Qin soldiers in front of him with his spear, breaking a hole in the tight formation. He continued to ride his horse deep into the enemy's army, thrusting his spear straight like a meteor. Facing the enemy, seven Qin soldiers fell in front of Xu Fan. The soldiers following Xu Fan continued to widen the gap. The rebel cavalry rushed towards the Qin army's formation like a flood that broke a bank. The huge impact of the war horses was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The Qin soldiers were knocked upside down by the collision.

The morale of the Qin army suddenly collapsed, and the soldiers howled like ghosts and fell into disarray.

"Don't run away. If you run away, you will be dead. Follow me and kill you!" Zhai Bao roared.

He is a veteran who has been in the army for many years, so he naturally understands that without the protection of military formations, soldiers are just meat on the enemy's chopping board, and cavalrymen who turn their backs to the enemy are looking for death.

At the same time, he was still a little confused in his heart. How could the impact of the enemy's cavalry be so powerful that it could actually crush his infantry spear phalanx head-on? This was simply unbelievable.

Zhai Bao frantically beat the fleeing soldiers, trying to regroup them, but to no avail. Instead, Xu Fan realized that he was the commander of the army, and Xu Fan ran over.

Zhai Bao also discovered Xu Fan. Although he didn't know that Xu Fan was the leader of the rebel army, he also knew that Xu Fan was an important cavalry general of the enemy. If he could be killed, he would definitely throw the rebel cavalry into chaos and gain precious opportunities for the army to gather. time.

So Zhai Bao took his spear and stabbed Xu Fan straight at him. Xu Fan waved the spear on his horse to block Zhai Bao's thrust, then swung the spear in a circle and smashed it down hard at Zhai Bao.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Zhai Bao blocked Xu Fan's spear three times in a row, but his condition was already extremely bad at this time. He never expected that Xu Fan's strength would be so strong. Every time the two people's spears met, The collision had a huge impact, making his jaw numb, and he kept retreating. After fighting three times, his hands had lost all feeling.

With a loud "dang" sound, Zhai Bao's spear was swept away, and the middle door opened wide. Xu Fan took the opportunity to hit Zhai Bao in the chest with a spear, knocking him away more than ten feet. Zhai Bao suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. rise.

Then Xu Fan coldly looked at the Qin army around him and said loudly: "Drop your weapons, kneel down and surrender!"

"Ding! General, we surrender." Originally, the Qin army did not have much morale. Now even the commander was not sure whether he was alive or dead. The Qin soldiers decisively discarded their weapons. Other soldiers also followed suit. Soon thousands of Qin soldiers discarded their weapons. They took out weapons and surrendered to Xu Fan and others.

Xu Fan ordered a cavalry station to take custody of these surrendered soldiers, while he led the remaining soldiers to continue to attack the Qin army's camp.

The center of the Qin army's camp.

Li You ordered the soldiers to erect a large banner, and he himself only drove his chariot under the banner so that all the Qin soldiers could see him.

"The whole army is gathering here!" Li You's soldiers kept shouting to the Qin soldiers.

The soldiers of the Chinese army had just woken up from their sleep when they heard the fierce sound of war drums and the cry of killing. The soldiers were panicked and frightened. They were not much better than the victims. When they saw the big banner, they suddenly seemed to have found it. As a backbone, Li You instinctively gathered under the banner. Before long, Li You gathered thousands of Qin soldiers.

However, the chaotic situation of the Qin army has not been improved. In the dark night, a large number of Qin troops could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. The five hundred captains could only fight on their own, but they were crushed by the rebels with absolute superiority. The pressure was defeated and he fled again.

And at this time, a large number of Qin soldiers fled from behind the military camp. Li You ordered his personal guards to intercept the deserters and reorganize them.

"Why don't you stay behind the camp!" Li You asked a deserter.

The deserter said in fear: "The rebels are too fierce, the impact of their cavalry is too strong, and the army formation is scattered."

Li You asked anxiously: "What happened to Colonel Zhai Bao?"

The soldier said: "Colonel Zhai Bao was whipped away by the rebel general with a spear. He is not sure whether he is alive or dead."

Li You burst into tears when he heard the news.

He ordered Captain Li Gang to quickly move forward with some of the assembled spearmen to resist the rebel cavalry. He knew that if he did not resist the enemy cavalry rampaging through the camp at this time, his army would be doomed.

So when he ordered the commander, he gave a very stern order: "Even if you use your bodies to block, you must block the enemy's cavalry and don't let them rush over."

What is needed at this time is time. Without time, his army will not be able to assemble, and it will be impossible to be an opponent of the rebels.

Commander Li Gang said firmly: "Promise!"

Li Gang led 2 soldiers to the rear of the military camp with a tragic momentum that was rustling in the wind and the water was cold.

What Li You never expected was that he had just ordered Li Gang to block the rebel cavalry in the rear, but the Qin army in the front camp was slowly pressed by the rebels.

If Xu Fan's cavalry attacked like a flood and submerged everything, then the nine giant infantry phalanxes commanded by Ji Bu were like nine moving dams, not only blocking the Qin army's charges time and time again, but they were still shrinking. In their living space, the oppressive Qin soldiers continued to retreat to the rear.

Although Qin Yang wanted to resist Ji Bu's attack, it was a pity that he had too few troops and the situation in the camp was too chaotic. Although he used chariots and baggage vehicles as obstacles to buy some time, he faced the rebel infantry. However, the pace of the attack could only retreat slowly. The soldiers he had gathered with difficulty would be severely defeated by Ji Bu.

Qin Yang sadly discovered that the fighting power of this rebel army was extremely powerful, at least stronger than his soldiers, and they were full of hatred for them.

He saw several cases where rebel soldiers were chopped to pieces, but they still held on to the Qin soldiers and refused to let go. Even if they risked death together, they would lead the enemy to hell. This kind of unforgettable hatred was so surprising.

When the soldiers of the Qin army found that the enemy on the opposite side was difficult to defeat, they ran away one after another, unable to stop him. There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Qin Yang.

"Brother Heizi, we seem to have caught a big fish. This is Captain Qin Yang!" A soldier looked at Qin Yang in surprise.

"He is really the captain of Qin Yang. Brothers, we have accomplished a great feat. We surrounded Qin Yang and captured him!" Heizi said in surprise.

Dozens of soldiers surrounded Qin Yang and his bodyguards, and finally swarmed them, either assassinating or capturing them, and Qin Yang was also captured alive by Heizi.

Qin Yang said unwillingly: "How do you know this general!"

Heizi smiled and said: "A few months ago, the general trained us. I have met you several times. It's just that you are busy and don't know about me."

Qin Yang was surprised and said: "You were soldiers of Sanchuan County before?"

Xiaolan smiled and said: "General Wang Li led us to attack the rebel army, but we were defeated and captured. Fortunately, General Renyi of Shangzhu State did not kill us, but also found a way to heal us, so we went to Shangzhu A general of the country."

Qin Yang was annoyed and said with a hint of anger: "You actually betrayed the imperial court like this."

Chong Leng snorted: "Is the imperial court kind to us? Why can't we betray? My whole family has sacrificed their lives for the imperial court, and we haven't seen the imperial court treat us well. This violent Qin should have been destroyed long ago."

These serious words made Qin Yang lose his mind. He never expected that the soldiers who caught him were soldiers from Sanchuan County, and they were trained by him. However, these soldiers from Sanchuan County hated Qin so much that they attacked the Qin army. The most violent ones are also these soldiers. Why does this happen? What is the problem?

"Take him away!" shouted Zhong. With Qin Yang being captured, the front camp of the Qin army collapsed completely. The soldiers lost their officers' fingers and were like headless flies in troubled times, being devoured by the rebels bit by bit.

"General, we can't resist anymore. They are about to kill through the military camp. In this case, we have no time to assemble soldiers. Let's escape as soon as the rebels have not completed the encirclement." Soldier Li You cried sadly.

Li You looked at the rebel cavalry and rebel infantry getting closer and closer. These two armies were like stone mills squeezing the living space of the Qin army. His soldiers could not form a formation and could only be slaughtered wantonly by the rebels. His The anger finally broke out uncontrollably.

Li You drew out his sword and roared: "Everyone, follow me and kill. Let's fight a bloody path together."

Li You immediately rode forward. He encouraged the Qin soldiers who were fleeing in embarrassment and said, "Follow me and charge forward to kill the enemy!"

Li You's actions boosted the morale of the defeated Qin army. More than 2000 Qin troops followed Li You's chariot and wanted to fight in the end.

Li You pointed at the rebel cavalry not far away and shouted: "Dense array, prepare to attack."

At this time, the soldier organization in Li You's hands was completely disrupted. Everyone was just a group of people who knew each other. The weapons in their hands were also various, including spears, halberds, short spears, long swords and other weapons, so even if The soldiers arranged their formation according to Li You's order, but it was still in a mess, and they could barely see a horizontal formation.

Li You's chariot came to the front of the formation. He pointed his spear at the rebel cavalry and shouted: "Kill!"

"Drive!" Under the driving of the driver, Li You's chariot started slowly.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Thousands of Qin troops boosted their final morale and followed Li You to kill the enemy.

Thousands of people's shouts of killing were like thunder, resounding on the battlefield, bringing strength to the Qin soldiers.

Xu Fan also discovered Li You's remnant army on the battlefield. He shouted loudly: "Gather the entire team."

The already dispersed cavalry quickly gathered around Xu Fan. Thousands of cavalry faced Li You's army in a cone-shaped attack form.

Xu Fan took the lead and raised the bloody spear in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"

The rebel cavalry galloped wildly behind Xu Fan, holding their spears high and shouting with all their strength: "Kill!"

Thousands of cavalrymen ran after Xu Fan. The sound of the cavalrymen galloping was like rolling thunder all over the sky. Their shouts and roars were breathtaking. Thousands of cavalrymen galloped and led their fierce murderous aura, like a prairie fire. It was unstoppable. The Qin army was frightened for a moment. .

The two armies collided with each other with all their strength.

"Boom!" A shocking roar erupted on the battlefield.

The spear in Xu Fan's hand kept harvesting the lives of the Qin soldiers, just like a sickle cutting wheat. The Qin soldiers within a foot of him fell to the ground.

The rebel cavalry followed closely behind. The weapons in their hands ruthlessly devoured the lives of their enemies. The blood on their armor was both their own and that of others.

"Soldiers, kill!" Li You kept killing the enemy with his spear. The left side of his chariot either helped him kill the enemy or protected Li You. He was brave wherever the chariot went.

Encouraged by Li You, the Qin army and the rebel soldiers killed each other with blood flowing like rivers. Both sides were in a stalemate, unable to move an inch.

Xu Fan has become a killing machine on the battlefield. He has a spear in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. Any Qin army who comes close to him will turn into a corpse. However, because the impact was too forward, he was also attacked by the Qin army soldiers. Ten Several long arrows shot at him, but fortunately they were blocked by the iron armor, but the spears of the Qin soldiers were still on his armor, leaving bloody wounds on his thighs and arms.

But these injuries completely aroused Xu Fan's ferocity. He broke away from the army like a tiger and fought among the Qin army. His murderous nature was so fierce that the Qin army scattered when they approached him.

"General, wait for us!" Xu Fan's personal guards were worried that he was in danger and quickly caught up to protect Xu Fan from both sides.

Xu Fan's bravery inspired the rebel cavalry. The soldiers rushed towards the Qin army crazily and strangled them crazily. The Qin army's casualties were too heavy. They were frightened in the face of the fierce rebel cavalry. Finally, some Qin troops began to escape, and this time Like an anthill that bursts its embankment, if one soldier escapes, other soldiers can't help but follow him.

Finally, the Qin Army's embankment was defeated by the rebel flood. After the morale in the Qin Army's heart was exhausted, it could no longer stop the Rebel Cavalry. The Rebel Cavalry was like a rolling torrent that drowned the Qin Army's last resistance.

"General, you are fighting so hard again!" Ji Bu complained a little.

At this time, the infantry and cavalry of the rebel army had gathered near the Qin army's central tent, so Ji Bu immediately saw Xu Fan who looked like a bloody man. From the wounds on Xu Fan's body and the blood all over his body, Ji Bu saw that I know that Xu Fan has been fighting on the front line.

Xu Fan laughed nonchalantly and said, "Our army has won a great victory! The casualties in this battle may be even smaller than the battle in Changping County."

The soldiers around Ji Bu and Xu Fan were deeply moved. The reason why their Shangzhu general fought so fiercely was to reduce their casualties and keep them alive.

Ji Bu looked at Li You who was surrounded by rebel soldiers and said, "It's up to you to complete this final battle."

Xu Fan was not polite and said to the surrounded Li You: "You have done your best. Now put down your weapons. Our rebels will treat the prisoners preferentially."

Li You's soldiers looked at him, and Li You smiled bitterly and said, "You have already served your country loyally. If you want to leave, just leave. I will not blame you."

After hearing Li You's words, the guards dropped their weapons and slowly walked towards the direction of the rebels.

Li Youze arranged his clothes and saluted in the direction of Xianyang and said: "Your Majesty forgives me for being incompetent and having no plan to lose my master. I can only die to thank the world."

After speaking, Li You drew his sword and killed himself.

"General!" The five guards around Li You cried out sadly, and then they also followed Li You and committed suicide.

"Give them a good burial!" This scene made Xu Fan sigh. The First Emperor still had loyal ministers.

As Li You committed suicide, the Qin army completely lost its will to resist. The rebel soldiers shouted on the battlefield: "Surrender and avoid death." The Qin soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the rebel army.

When the morning sun rose, the Qin army surrendered to the rebels in large numbers, and the entire battlefield gradually became silent, leaving only a few soldiers cleaning the battlefield.

noon.

Ji Bu directed the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, while Xu Fan was taken to the wounded camp to treat his injuries.

After the war, the wounded camp was the busiest place for the entire rebel army. Chen Xiu and the others not only had to treat their own wounded soldiers, but also the captured wounded soldiers. In order to support Chen Xiu, Ji Bu sent 2000 soldiers to fight and clean up. He left a corner of the Qin army's camp to serve as a field hospital for Chen Xiu and others.

"You have so many wounds again!" Chen Xiu personally helped Xu Fan treat him, and felt sad when he found that Xu Fan had more than a dozen wounds on his body.

Xu Fan smiled and said: "As a commander of an army, of course you have to be on the front line so that you can grasp the situation on the battlefield and reduce the casualties of soldiers."

Then he looked around and said, "How many wounded rebels do you have here?"

Chen Xiudao: "Thousands of people, about the same number of wounded as last time, maybe a little less."

Hearing this, Xu Fan felt happy for a while, and then slowly closed his eyes. Marching in the middle of the night, fighting in the middle of the night, especially since he was always on the front line, his body was so tired that Chen Xiu felt numb even after cleaning his wounds. No more pain.

After Chen Xiu discovered that Xu Fan was asleep, she carefully helped Xu Fan clean the wounds all over his body, and after bandaging them, she went to deal with the other wounded.

Xu Fan didn't know how long he had slept, but he just felt that it was very noisy outside.

He slowly opened his eyes and walked out of the tent, only to find Ji Bu, Ji Xin and others talking and laughing not far away.

After several people saw Xu Fan coming out, they immediately surrounded him.

Xu Fan smiled and asked, "Where are the others?"

Ji Bu said: "Wu Sheng, Chen Lin and Ge Ying led the soldiers to capture the fleeing Qin army. My subordinates asked them to capture as many as they could. After capturing the prisoners, they gathered under Xingyang City to prepare for the next attack on Xingyang. Prepare."

Xu Fan nodded and approved Ji Bu's arrangement, and then he asked: "What are our losses? Are the casualties of the soldiers heavy?"

Ji Xinxi said: "Faced with our night raid, the Qin army was completely unprepared. Our losses in this battle were extremely low. There were more than a thousand cavalry casualties and more than 2,300 infantry casualties, including more than 2,000 minor and serious injuries. Less than 10 percent of the casualties were casualties, most of which were recoverable.”

The other generals also beamed with joy when they heard this casualty. They wiped out 5 Qin soldiers with only casualties. As long as word of this victory spreads, the reputation of their rebel army will definitely be higher.

Xu Fan continued to ask: "How many Qin troops did we annihilate?"

Ji Xindao: "More than 5,000 Qin troops were killed, more than 5,000 were lightly or seriously wounded, and more than 32,000 were captured. The rest of the Qin troops escaped, but with Wu Sheng and the others chasing them, most of them should be able to survive." After being captured, the number of Qin soldiers who can escape is estimated to be no more than a thousand."

He said excitedly: "In the past few decades, only the general has brought such a great defeat to the Qin State. After this battle, the general's great name will shock the world."

 Many people say that a spear will break as soon as it hits it, but this is a Western spear, okay? Our spears and spears are all tough. Even if you listen to storytelling, no one has heard of a spear. Just poke it and break it, then replace it with another one and continue fighting.
