Chapter 224 Innuendo
Before fighting the Qin army, Xiang Ge looked down on the Qin people from the bottom of his heart.
Because the Qin land in the past was too poor, despised by other countries, and often bullied by foreigners from Xirong, the Qin people had no status within the empire.
And his country, Huan, was prosperous and powerful, King Huan was a hereditary king, and Xiang Ge was revered as a famous general, with a noble status!
But now, on the real battlefield, in a face-to-face decisive battle, the Huan army was obviously suppressed.
This is not only a suppression of morale, but also a pushback of combat power.
The place where the battlefield was fought was like a meat grinder. The soldiers of the Qin army were hit with heavy shields in front of them, and halberds were shot out from behind. I don't know how many people were instantly hooked into the shield formation.
"Kill--"
Countless Qin soldiers stared and shouted, as if their lives were at risk, and rushed forward to kill the enemy. With the Qin army's system, in the eyes of the soldiers, the battlefield was the only place to make achievements. To them, the Huan Army was just a
A person who was promoted to a noble title.
Even the Huan Army, who had participated in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, had never seen such a desperate fighting style. The suppression of combat power and momentum directly made the front row of the Huan Army feel frightened, and an obvious defeat began.
.
After Huan's army retreated, Qin's army gathered strength and pressed forward fiercely. Every time they took a step forward, they almost harvested corpses.
The place of confrontation has long been filled with blood.
At the end of the battle, the Qin army was overwhelmingly strong, and the Huan army was retreating again and again. At this time, Xiang Ge could no longer stand it, because as far as the entire battle situation was concerned, the situation on the battlefield no longer allowed him to delay any longer.
"You underestimated the enemy! I didn't expect the Qin army to have such fighting strength. Our army has been defeated in this battle, and it is my commander's fault!"
Xiang Ge first blamed himself, and then decisively ordered: "Send the order quickly, the rear army will retreat quickly with light armor, the central army will cover it, and use crossbowmen to shoot at the opponent's positions!"
"Yes!" The deputy general also knew that the situation was serious at this time, and immediately took the order and left.
As the commander's military orders were issued, the entire battlefield immediately changed. The Huan army began to fight and retreat, staggering with bows and crossbowmen, and constantly blocking the Qin army's progress with random arrows.
You must know that the Huan Army is not a ragtag group, but a real regular army. It is also commanded by a famous general like Xiang Ge. It retreated in an orderly manner, and there was no such situation as abandoning armor.
Under this situation, the Qin army pursued the enemy for thirty miles. In order to prevent an ambush, Xiao Yuan also began to pay for his troops.
Under his military orders, the Qin army was well-trained and began to retreat like a tide.
After the battle, Xiao Yuan returned to Shanyuguan. In the meeting hall, all the generals were very excited. Some people said: "What a famous general! What a Huan army! It was defeated in one blow!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "The victory of this battle depends entirely on the bravery of the generals and our soldiers. But even if we win, we must not underestimate the enemy. We must know that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
!”
"Yes, my lord taught me a lesson." General Qin quickly replied.
Xiao Yuan looked at Lin Chu again: "Continue to inquire about every move of the Four Nations Allied Forces, but if there is any movement, please report it in time."
"No!" Lin Chu took the order and left.
"Zhao Mu is responsible for the defense work tonight and beware of enemy night attacks." Xiao Yuan ordered again.
"No!" Zhao Mu also clasped his fists and accepted the order.
After Xiao Yuan looked around for a week, he said in a trembling voice: "Today's battle against the Huan Army, and tomorrow's battle will only be more dangerous. Therefore, the generals must be at their best! If we win again tomorrow, it will inevitably decline!"
Hearing what he said, all the generals couldn't help but trembled, and they all clasped their fists and said, "As ordered!"
The other side.
After Xiang Ge's defeat, he led his troops back to the coalition camp and joined Ren Ying.
In this decisive battle on the plains, after some experience, the Huan army lost 20,000 troops. This was too early for Xiang Ge to gain momentum, otherwise, the losses would have been even more heavy.
At this time, the generals of the three countries gathered in the Chinese army's tent. When they heard about Xiang Ge's defeat, Ren Ying was quite surprised and couldn't help but say:
"Oh? With General Xiang's military talent and the courage of the Huan army, he failed to defeat the Qin army? Instead, he was defeated?"
In fact, his words had no other meaning, but in Xiang Ge's ears, they were undoubtedly a bit harsh, and the latter felt that this was a disguised mockery.
Xiang Ge's face was a little ugly, but he endured it and said nothing. But he could bear it, but Vice General Huan Jun couldn't help it, and couldn't help but defended:
"Commander Ren doesn't know that the Qin army is not what the rumors say. It has bright armor, well-equipped weapons, and strong bows and crossbows. Its military appearance is extraordinary and vigorous, and its combat power is even more brave.
On the battlefield, his soldiers fought without risking their lives and died with the enemy!"
"The most terrifying thing is the Qin Army's arrow array. Its scale, wide coverage, and far range far exceed those of other countries!"
After Vice General Huan Jun finished speaking, before anyone else could answer, Han Zhou chuckled and said, "You have said so much. After all, you are just trying to find some reasons for Huan Jun's defeat. If you lose, you will lose."
That’s right, why need so many excuses.”
"You!" General Huan glared angrily when he heard this. He couldn't help but pointed at Hanzhou, ready to say something.
But before he could speak, Han Zhou's face turned pale when he saw his actions, and he shouted coldly: "Bold! How can I be so good as you? Are there any rules?"
He was right. When General Huan heard this, he realized that he was being disrespectful. He couldn't help but swallowed, his face became a little embarrassed, and he had no choice but to retract his hand.
But Hanzhou reprimanded General Huan in this way and mocked Huanjun in secret. How could Xiang Ge sit still at this time? His expression also dropped, he stared at Hanzhou and said coldly:
"I know how to discipline my people. Do you need you to teach me, the general of the Huan Army?"
"This..." Hanzhou was speechless again with one sentence.
You must know that the three of them are all famous generals in their respective countries. If you really want to talk about it, their identities are almost the same. They just serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
At this time, seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was a little awkward, Ren Ying also laughed and said: "Okay, okay, there is no need for you two to argue anymore. From this point of view, we have to re-examine the strength of the Qin army.
"
Hearing this, Han Zhou said: "I have no objection to reexamining it, but having said that, the reason why Huan's army cannot win is mostly because of underestimating the enemy, and the Qin army is not invincible."
Hearing this, Xiang Ge chuckled and said: "What General Han said is very reasonable. If so, let the Chu army fight the Qin army again."
"Brother Han, what do you think?" Ren Ying also asked.
"Well..." Hanzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Since a decisive battle on the plains is invincible, we should fight in formation."
"Oh?" Ren Ying raised his eyebrows. In fact, he thought so too, but he didn't say it out loud and let Han Zhou do it.
