Chapter 2030 Crossing the River Charge
Li Zuoche disagreed with Chen Sheng's words. However, in the absence of troops, such emergency measures are understandable. The only thing Li Zuoche could do was to propose several improvement plans to make the fortifications more solid.
"The army of Nanyue has begun to cross the river." When his scouts reported the news to Chen Sheng, a rare smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face.
"Sir, should we attack half of the crossing?" Li Zuoche was also ready to move. When the enemy was halfway through the river, the army crushed over, and the blow to the enemy was absolutely devastating.
Chen Sheng frowned, pondered for a moment before saying, "No, let them all come over and lead them into the position we set up to fight."
"Sir, a sudden attack can kill the enemy to the greatest extent and reduce the casualties of our army." Li Zuoche still did not give up. Chen Sheng could understand Li Zuoche's mentality. Because the number of Qin troops was weaker than Nanyue, Li Zuoche did not dare to take risks. After all the main forces in South Vietnam were on the shore, the Qin army demanded a tragic battle.
Chen Sheng was still unmoved. His voice was calm and he said resolutely: "With the enemy's foothold and attack, our army can certainly win with extremely small losses. But for the enemy, this can only be considered a small defeat. A small defeat does not cause a big problem. The enemy still has tens of thousands of infantry crossing the river upstream. Just regroup to cross the river again. At that time, we will be attacked by the enemy, which will definitely not be good." Chen Sheng said this, his eyes flashed with gleam, and he said with a sigh: "So we must let all the enemy troops on the other side cross the river. Especially their cavalry, we must eliminate all the enemy cavalry in this war, otherwise we will always be in a state of being acted warfare. It is difficult to gain a foothold in Lingnan."
Li Zuoche smiled bitterly. Chen Sheng's appetite was too big. He actually wanted to swallow nearly 20,000 troops of the enemy with more than 10,000 people, including more than 2,000 most elite cavalry! This is a hard bone, and the teeth are not good, which will pierce the stomach!
But seeing that Chen Sheng had made up his mind, Li Zuoche sighed and said, "Sir, your courage is even greater than that of the sky."
Chen Sheng smiled "haha" and said, "Brother Zuoche. Don't be so pessimistic. The enemy knows nothing about our layout. I don't want to wipe out the enemy's heavy cavalry. As long as the enemy's cavalry loses its combat effectiveness, we don't have to worry about our retreat being cut off, let alone our infantry being slaughtered. More importantly, our cavalry can also be quickly supplemented and expanded, and the land of Lingnan will be galloped at will by our army in central Fujian!" At this point, Chen Sheng felt a heat in his heart.
"Send an order, all walks of life are ambushing and preparing to fight, take our banner, and lead the enemy over!" Chen Sheng ordered decisively.
...
On the other side of Meijiang River, a rare smile appeared on Meng Heilong's face. Thousands of infantry have crossed the river and have set up their formations. The cavalry are also crossing the river. In less than an hour, the army can appear on the south bank. At that time, the Qin army will usher in the disaster of destruction.
However, when the Cavalry 6 continued to cross the river, Meng Heilong's mood began to become a little heavier. Because a scout unit of the Qin army appeared in sight, and soon fled back. I believe that the main force of the Qin army would appear in front of him soon. The plan to raid the Qin camp may have aborted, but Meng Heilong was also confident in defeating the Qin army in a dignified manner. As long as his main force crossed the river, he did not doubt that the final victory would belong to him. He stepped up urging the army to cross the river, and at the same time, the army crossing the river was arranged in an array to guard against the Qin army's raid.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the enemy troops with the "Qin" character battle flag with black and white characters hanging high on black background and the "Chen" commander flag appeared on the horizon. As for the enemy's commander, Meng Heilong also knew that his name was Chen Sheng through his own channels. He was a general younger than Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo's brave performance outside Hengpu Pass was enough to attract Meng Heilong attention. Now another Chen Sheng, how can he not give Meng Heilong a headache?
At this time, the Nanyue army had already crossed the river. Meng Heilong rode a large brown horse on a golden sword, surrounded by two thousand murderous iron cavalry, which looked very majestic.
"You are too late!" Meng Heilong laughed wildly. "Come on!" Seeing the approaching of the Qin army, Meng Heilong also decisively issued an order to the South Vietnamese army.
However, the Nanyue army is advancing towards the front, and the Qin army, which is still a certain distance from Meng Heilong's army, slowly retreats. This makes Meng Heilong very excited. He believes in his heart that the commander of the Qin army must have seen his army's momentum and retreated timidly. Seeing that there is a large open field around, Meng Heilong is even more happy. This terrain is most suitable for the iron cavalry to rush!
Chen Sheng smiled on his face. It was only a few miles away from the Nanyue army. If the enemy's cavalry charges, it will not take long to come to him. But he is not afraid. Because he has put his own banner here to attract Meng Heilong's main force to appear.
After several days of arrangement, he had transformed the battlefield in front of him into a place of death. If Meng Heilong had carefully investigated the history of Chen Sheng fighting tens of thousands of troops in Yingchou Village, Minyue, he would not have taken it lightly and plunged into this death trap foolishly.
"Woo woo..." The horn of the Qin army's war had sounded. A thousand cavalry in vine armor showed a cone arrangement behind Chen Sheng, which was the most suitable for charge. Of course, it was not the time for them to charge.
It seemed that Meng Heilong waved his hand as if he was blown by the Qin army's combat horn. After a while, the war drums began to sound in the South Vietnamese army. The advancers also made loud and neat roars, like beasts in the mountains and forests.
The morning sun had already risen, shining on the armor and weapons of the warriors, shining with light.
The South Vietnamese army finally stopped nearly two miles away from the Qin army.
Meng Heilong looked at the Qin army in front of him and couldn't help laughing. The number of Qin army was too small, and the infantry in front of him was only 7,000 at most. The biggest highlight was probably the cavalry around the enemy commander. But this cavalry, in terms of quantity and combat effectiveness, looked quite different from his own cavalry.
Meng Heilong decided to defeat the enemy's cavalry first. He waved his hand suddenly, and the flag commander next to him immediately conveyed the order he issued. The drum of war sounded rapidly. The cavalry around Meng Heilong began to adjust his formation and prepare to charge.
