At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 207: The generals compete for credit and the Qin army collapses
Shejian led 5 soldiers out of the military formation, shouting loudly and ordering the soldiers to follow him to support Su Jiao, and a powerful momentum swept out.

"Meng Tian finally sent reinforcements. It's our army's turn to make meritorious deeds!" Wu Sheng said excitedly.

Wu Sheng has been one of the most anxious people in the Central Plains battlefield for the past six months. Back then, he was someone who had taken refuge with the King of Han in Yang County. Ji Bu, Yingbu, and Lu Chen had not yet joined the Han army. He already had a chair in the council hall. As a result, he watched Ji Bu, Yingbu, and Lu Chen. Even Ge Ying is above him.

The cavalry he led was the main trump card of the Han army. In Chen County, the Han army was able to defeat the tens of thousands of violent Qin troops by relying on the cavalry to cut off the violent Qin's food routes. The subsequent battle with Wang Li was also defeated by the cavalry troops. Only then did Wang Li's army of 3 men collapse.

In the final battle with Li Youjun, their cavalry was also the main force in the night attack. The role of 5000 cavalry was equivalent to the tens of thousands of other infantry combined.

But from the beginning of the Southern Expedition, the role of cavalry began to decline. Those who attacked cities and plundered territory along the way were generals from all walks of life. His cavalry only played the role of exploring horses.

Wu Sheng originally wanted to make great contributions in the Northern Expedition to Qin, so that he could follow Ji Bu and others again, so that the world would know about Wu Sheng, the brave cavalry general. However, none of his cavalry made any contributions along the way. Seeing the war in the Central Plains enter At the end, if he doesn't make a contribution, he will really be gone.

"General, how can we annihilate this Qin army!" Peng Yue also said excitedly.

Wu Sheng and his men had a total of 5 men, including 2 Wu Sheng's cavalry and 3 Han infantry. Wu Sheng's deputy general was Peng Yue.

Wu Sheng said: "First use the cavalry to break the formation. General Peng Yue will lead the infantry to divide the Qin army. If we fight faster, we may be able to capture Meng Tian's main force."

Peng Yue, who was in the rear, was overjoyed when he saw this scene: "I ordered the three captains Chen Xiaodao, Luan Bu, and Hu Zhe to lead their armies to surround the Qin army, divide the Qin army, and do not let them escape."

The Qin army captains Pang Li, Diao Wei, and Guo Bang discussed for a while and realized that there was no way to save the situation. If they continued to fight, they could only die. They immediately raised the white flag and surrendered to the Han army.

Shejian slapped his horse and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me and kill the enemy!" After saying this, Shejian led 1 cavalry and rushed directly towards Wu Sheng and the others. Both sides ran extremely fast.

"Counterattack!" Shejian said angrily, and the Qin army also used their riding bows to shoot arrows in the direction of the Han army.

"Don't run away, follow me and fight the enemy head-on." When he saw the Qin soldiers who were constantly fleeing, he immediately led his guards to rush forward, hoping to rely on his bravery to boost the morale of the army.

"Speed ​​up and shoot the enemy!" Wu Shenggao took out his riding bow and roared wildly.

Peng Yue cut off Shejian's head with a knife, raised it high into the sky and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, surrender and avoid death!"

Then he walked up to Peng Yue and said with a smile: "Peng Yue, if it weren't for your formation this time, I'm afraid this battle wouldn't have gone so smoothly. I would have asked the King of Han for your credit. After this battle, you would have become a true warrior." general.

I saw Shejian rushing to the front line, his spear flying up and down, invincible, and smashing through the Han infantry phalanx.

"Boohoo!" There was a sharp and harsh sound of arrows on the battlefield.

When the two sides rushed to a distance of 100 steps, the Han army's cavalry kept shooting at the Qin army.

"Blow the trumpet and mobilize the whole army!"

"We surrender, don't kill us." Immediately, many people abandoned their spears and surrendered to the Han army. They did not want to fight, but now even the generals were killed in the battle. These Qin soldiers suddenly felt relieved.

"Bump!" Peng Yue's strength was too great and he broke Shejian's spear. Shejian took advantage of the situation and drew his sword and slashed at Peng Yue. "Clang, clang, clang!" After slashing five swords in a row, the spear in Peng Yue's hand was cut off by She Jian.

"General Shejian!" The soldiers of the Qin army were shocked and frightened when they saw Shejian's head. Shejian had always been a fierce general in the Qin army and was defeated by thousands of people, but now he was beheaded by the rebels.

The sound of swords roaring "Clang, clang, clang!" is endless, and every time the swords intersect, sparks fly out.

"Report, General, there are rebel reinforcements blocking the road ahead. The enemy is extremely large in number, and there are also a large number of cavalry."

In the past six months, Peng Yue and his men were either transporting grain and fodder or maintaining grain roads. They were basically doing logistical work. He had long wanted to fight a war and establish his own merits in Han Dynasty.

At this time, the Qin soldiers could clearly see the Han army on the opposite side. When they discovered that the number of Han cavalry was more than twice theirs, the Qin army's cavalry reduced their speed in unison.

Wu Sheng said happily: "Contain their weapons, send a battalion of soldiers to escort these prisoners to the camp, and at the same time report the victory to the King of Han and seek the next order."

"Da da da!" The long arrows of the Qin Army's cavalry formation hit the soldiers, and the sound of hitting the horses was heard endlessly. The soldiers and horses who were hit by the arrows screamed repeatedly, the soldiers whined, and the horses neighed. The entire Qin Army formation fell on their backs, dead. The wounded and fallen soldiers were all trampled mercilessly by the horses, leaving only a bloody corpse.

Because it was dark, the two sides kept approaching until they were 200 steps away before barely noticing the enemy.

She Jian was originally ordered to support Su Jiao, but he did not expect that he would be pinned down by the rebels here. Even the cavalry was split into two by the rebels. If he was not careful, a large army like his would be completely annihilated.

Peng Yue did not expect the effect to be so good. He immediately gathered his personal guards and asked them to hold Shejian's head with spears and shout wildly on the entire battlefield: "The enemy general is dead, surrender and avoid death!"

The soldiers of the Qin army who were resisting Wu Sheng's cavalry looked in the direction of the voice when they heard "The enemy general is dead, surrender to avoid death!" But when they saw Shejian's head, they immediately collapsed and the battle line could no longer be maintained. Living.

The messenger immediately conveyed Peng Yue's order to the three captains. Peng Yue's infantry was divided into three groups. They followed the Qin army defeated by their own cavalry, surrounded, divided and gradually annihilated them.

Peng Yue cupped his hands and saluted and said: "General, don't worry, I, Peng Yue, will never be ambiguous about attacking the Qin people."

"Kill!" The swords met again, and Shejian's sword was cut off by Peng Yue's sword. Shejian's eyes were about to burst, and he threw half a long sword at Peng Yue, but Peng Yue blocked it with his knife. Then Peng Yue didn't wait for Shejian's reaction, and slashed Shejian's chest. Shejian's vision suddenly went dark, and blood flowed like a stream. Spray Peng Yue into a bloody man.

"Hold your spears straight, prepare to charge." Wu Sheng didn't care what they thought. At this time, they had already put away their riding bows, raised their spears and spears and charged towards the Qin army.

The only thing the Han army was better than the Qin army was that the war horses had rattan or bamboo armor on them to provide simple defense, and the losses of the war horses were slightly smaller.

Then the soldiers of the two sides were 80 steps apart and fired another round of long arrows at 50 steps. However, the number of Han cavalry was twice that of the Qin army. This exchange ratio of shooting resulted in the Han army killing more than twice the Qin army.

"Puff puff!" The Qin army shot into the Han army like a long arrow. The Han army soldiers screamed. The soldiers fell down and were trampled on their bodies by the horses behind them, screaming and wailing.

Peng Yue discarded the broken stick, pulled out his sword and fought with Shejian again. Both of them were brave men, and when they fought together, they used all their strength to chop each other to death.

"Boohoo!" Tens of thousands of long arrows were shot from the Qin soldiers.

"Woooooo!" The passionate horn sounded through the night, and the Han army's cavalry slowly started to move. Peng Yue led 3 infantry closely behind, and the 5-strong army rushed towards Shejian.

But at this time, Peng Yue and She Jian, who were rushing at the front, collided head-on. The two sides suddenly faced off against each other, and the generals were fighting together.

Under his encouragement, the Qin cavalry finally seemed to have a firm foothold. Although it could not defeat the Han cavalry, it could still bully their infantry.

"Kill!" Under the leadership of Wu Sheng, 2 Han soldiers rushed straight into the Qin army's formation with unprecedented momentum. One side is brave and the other is cowardly. The number of the brave side is twice that of the timid side. In this case, the Han army's charge is like a hot knife shaving oil, directly breaking through the Qin army's cavalry formation and dividing them into two. Half.

"Kill!" Peng Yue flew up to Shejian and struck down with his spear, while Shejian blocked him with his spear.

"General!" When Shejian's personal guards saw him dying in battle, they immediately abandoned their enemies and attacked Peng Yue. But Peng Yue was too brave and killed 7 people in a row. With the cooperation of his personal guards, he killed them all. Shejian's bodyguard.

"Boom, boom, boom!" On the battlefield, Wu Sheng of the Han army led the cavalry towards Shejian's troops. The two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle, with swords and swords flashing, horse hooves flying, and the sound of fierce fighting could not be heard.

Peng Yue said happily: "Thank you, general."

Then he looked at the battlefield and said: "Our army did not expend too much energy in annihilating Shejian this time. We can attack Meng Tian's Chinese army."

Even though he had accomplished such a great feat by annihilating 50,000 Qin troops, Peng Yue still wanted to continue to make great achievements.

Wu Sheng said: "I have already reported to the King of Han, and there will be news soon."

Although Peng Yue and the others were still waiting for orders, they had already begun to reorganize the army and were ready to attack Meng Tian's army at any time.

Han army camp, Chinese army tent.

When the news about Wu Sheng, Peng Yue and the others came, the big tent burst into cheers.

Ji Xin smiled and said: "King Han, Meng Tian has lost one of his arms when Shejian is annihilated. In addition, Su Jiao's tribe is besieged by our army, and Meng Tian is already struggling to his death."

Xu Fan looked in the direction of the battlefield. At this time, the sun in the east had risen and the sky was getting brighter. However, the shouts of death from the front of the Han army camp were still fierce and he asked: "How is the battle against Su Jiao?"

Ji Xindao: "Su Jiao is resisting fiercely, but the army has been divided into three parts. Good news will come soon."

Xu Fan said: "Tell Wei Wang Jiu and Zhao Wang to rest. Ge Ying will lead his troops to slowly surround Meng Tian's Chinese army. After Su Jiao's troops are annihilated, our army will launch a full-scale attack on the Qin army."

"Send orders to Wu Sheng's troops to clean up the battlefield and lead the army to march towards Meng Tian's central army." Then Xu Fan stood up and said: "Ji Xin, you leave 2 troops to garrison the army. You will not attack without orders."

Ji Xin said helplessly, "No!"

Even though victory was now certain, Xu Fan did not intend to leave his camp empty. Han Xin's tactics at Hukou Pass scared Xu Fan. He was really worried that he would attack with his entire army. Meng Tian sent a group of troops to occupy his camp. camp, causing the entire army to collapse.

After watching too many modern war movies, they all told Xu Fan that a reserve force should be kept at all times. This kind of force may not be needed, but it must be there. Who knows what will happen on the battlefield at the next moment? Pressing it up means there is no way to deal with emergencies on the battlefield.

Han Xin with more than 3000 men could defeat Sima Xin with 3 men, and the gap between him and Meng Tian was only twice that.

Then Xu Fan continued: "The rest of the army will attack and completely defeat Su Jiao's tribe!"

Xu Fan led an army of 8 people and marched towards the battlefield of Su Jiaobu in a mighty manner.

Meng Tian's army.

"Report, General, General Shejian died in battle, and the 5-strong army has been annihilated by the rebels."

Meng Tian felt suffocated when he heard the report of the horse exploration and almost fell off his horse.

"General, general!" Meng Tianfang immediately supported Meng Tian and said anxiously: "Nothing happens to you, otherwise our Northern Xinjiang Army will be doomed."

Meng Tian regained his breath, took a deep breath and said, "I'll be fine."

Meng Tianfang said sadly and angrily: "Shejian is too reckless. He is the commander of an army of 5 people. How can he still fight on the front line? His recklessness led to the annihilation of our army of 5 people."

But Meng Tian shook his hand and signaled Meng Tianfang to stop talking. Shejian was originally a fierce general of the Qin army. It was this bravery that won Meng Tian's appreciation and trust. Rushing to the front has always been Shejian's fighting style. This is not It was Shejian's fault, but that the Qin army's combat effectiveness had declined.

He already had the intention of retreating and asked, "How is Su Jiao and the others' battle situation going?"

"Still fighting!"

At this moment, several exploring horses came running over.

"Report, General, there are more than 5 troops on our left flank."

"Report, General, there is an army of more than 6 on the right flank of our army. This army uses the flags of Zhao and Wei."

"Report, General, Wu Sheng's troops who defeated General Shejian are also coming towards us.

Meng Tianfang and other Qin army generals suddenly panicked. Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded them. At this time, the Northern Xinjiang army was in danger.

Meng Tian said firmly: "The army deployed a defensive formation and ordered Su Jiao to retreat."

At this time, Meng Tianfang thought for a while and said: "General, Su Jiaobu has been surrounded. Before the rebels completely surround us, we'd better retreat first."

"Yes, General, if our 8 troops are defeated again, Great Qin will be dead!"

Meng Tian said angrily: "Shut up, if anyone dares to give up again, I will definitely kill him without mercy."

Su Jiaobu battlefield.

Xu Fan led an army of 8 people to attack and completely cut off Su Jiao's retreat.

Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo each led a battalion of men and horses, and they rushed into the Qin army's formation like two sharp long arrows, and continuously divided the Qin army into small groups. Jia Bu and Cao Shen followed the two men and continued to expand the results of the battle. Surrounded the small Qin army.

With the addition of Xu Fan, the Qin soldiers were even more unstoppable. They had been fighting for half the night. Every Qin soldier was extremely tired, but the Han army was full of energy. Under Xu Fan's encouragement, his whole body was full of energy. Strength, their joining made the Qin army unable to fight back. The Qin army was either annihilated or surrendered to the Han army.

The situation on the battlefield at this time was that it was no longer a war, but a massacre.

Xu Fan couldn't bear to do more killing, so he ordered: "Let the Qin soldiers hand over their weapons and surrender, and our army will ensure that they will not die."

"Hand over your weapons and surrender to avoid death!"

"Hand over your weapons and surrender to avoid death!"

"Hand over your weapons and surrender to avoid death!"

Nearly 10 Han troops continued to shout surrender to Qin soldiers.

When the Qin soldiers heard this, they dropped their spears and said, "We surrender, don't kill us."

Su Zhe, who was in the rear, also heard this, and he immediately said: "Hurry up and raise the white flag. Surrender now, it is better than being captured by the Han army!"

"Surrender and avoid death!" Zhou Bo led the soldiers and shouted in front of Su Zhe's battalion.

Su Zhe held up a white flag and said: "General, we surrender, we surrender!"

Zhou Bo looked at the battalion and surrendered to him. He was overjoyed and said, "Hand over all your weapons. Our Han army will give preferential treatment to the prisoners."

Su Zhe nodded and said, "No."

Then he said to the soldiers: "Hurry, hand over your weapons!"

Under Su Zhe's order, the Qin soldiers handed over their weapons one by one, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. They finally didn't have to fight, and their lives were saved.

At the core of the battlefield, Su Jiao's hundreds of personal guards were surrounded by tens of thousands of Han troops.

Fan Kuai shouted: "Su Jiao, you have tried your best. If you surrender now, you will be worthy of Meng Tian and the First Emperor."

Su Jiao propped up his body with his spear and panted: "My Su family has been loyal for generations. There are only Su Jiao who died in battle and no Su Jiao who surrendered."

At this time, Cao Shen also said: "I have been loyal for generations and are unwilling to surrender, but his soldiers do not receive the salary of the First Emperor. Do you have the heart to let them be buried with you?"

Su Jiao looked at his own soldiers and said, "If you are willing to surrender, you can leave. I don't blame you. It's my lack of ability that brought you into a desperate situation."

These soldiers hesitated for a long time, but one soldier still came out and said: "General, the villain is not afraid of death, but the villain's wife and children still need to be taken care of by the villain, and the villain cannot die."

After saying this, the soldier knelt down and kowtowed three times to Su Jiao, then ran towards the Han army and said, "I am willing to surrender."

After hearing this soldier's words, many soldiers who were determined to die began to hesitate. They also kowtowed three times to Su Jiao and then surrendered to the Han army.

In the end, there were more than a dozen soldiers left with Su Jiao.

Su Jiao asked: "You don't have any wives, children or children?"

The soldier smiled and said, "I'm not married yet, and I have an older brother at home, so I don't have to worry about my parents being left alone."

Another soldier said: "My parents died long ago. If it weren't for the general, this villain would have died long ago. Now I just give this life back to the general."

Su Jiao smiled and said, "Okay, today we will fight together until the last moment."

"Kill!" Su Jiao led the dozen soldiers to rush towards Fan Kuai and Cao Shen.

Cao Shen waved his hand, and thousands of long arrows were shot at Su Jiao and the others. Each of them was hit by dozens of arrows and died.

"Pedantry!" Cao Shen said disdainfully.

"But he is still a man. I can't face death calmly like him. He just fell in love with the wrong person." Fan Kuai said regretfully.
