Chapter 261: Charge into battle and capture the flag
"It's my turn."
Shejian stood up from the forest. The scouts he sent out, disguised as Chu people, came back.
According to reports, the Chu people have sent out the remaining fresh troops.
Currently, there are only about a thousand short soldiers guarding Zuo Sima of Chu State, and three to four thousand remnant soldiers who have just retreated from the battlefield are resting around.
This is a fighter plane!
This is the opportunity Shibama has been waiting for!
Shejian walked to a stone and called out to the Qianqin soldiers who had already finished their rest and had eaten and drank: "Second and Third Sons, the opportunity to fight has arrived. Next, it will be time for us to take the field."
Everyone's eyes were turned to Shibama.
The young 2500 Lord's face flushed, and he shouted excitedly: "The Marquis is leading a bloody battle with the Chu people with four thousand robes, and there is a stalemate. And we will be the surprise troops sent by the Marquis to defend the Marquis.
Serve your orders, charge into the formation, seize the flag, and defeat the Chu army! In this battle, the Qin army will be victorious! The army will be victorious!"
"Destroy the Chu army!"
"The Qin army is victorious!"
"The military commander is victorious!"
A thousand people had already been gearing up and couldn't bear it anymore. When they heard the call, they all stood up and raised their arms and shouted.
The huge sound echoed in the forest for a long time, frightening the captives such as Dou Yuan and Zhong Zhong who were tied here, and their faces turned ashen.
Zhongli Mei's expression was even more complicated.
Although he didn't know what the Qin army's strategic arrangements were, judging from this round of deployment, it was probably another surprise attack or something like that.
"Zhao Tuo is so wise, Zuo Sima is in danger."
Soon, the Qin people untied the fifty war horses tied in the forest, and Shejian jumped up, leading fifty knights in advance. Behind them were a thousand Qin army infantry full of excitement and bloodthirsty.
Death!
"Zuo Sima, the Qin army is gradually weakening!"
Jingtong shouted excitedly.
As the Chu army continued to launch offensives, the Chu soldiers crossed the chariot defense line and rushed into the Qin army's battle formation more and more times. Although they were quickly pushed out by the Qin army, those who rushed in were also quickly blocked.
Kill, but this offensive has made great progress compared to the first round of attacks.
Of course, the price paid by the Chu army was not light. Their casualties were more than three times that of the Qin army.
It takes three lives of Chu people to exchange for one life of Qin people.
But according to Zuo Sima, this is only the beginning. As long as the consumption continues, when the Qin army's hands and feet become weak and unable to kill, the casualty ratio of their Chu army will decrease, even to less than
The Qin army is still low.
The Qin army must be exhausted if they keep fighting.
The three or four thousand Chu soldiers who had just been withdrawn were almost rested, so Zuo Sima could be sent up again to rotate and fight with the Qin people.
This goes round after round, over and over again, using human lives to consume the physical strength of the Qin people, and sooner or later they will win.
"This is a tactic of taking turns to destroy the enemy."
Zhaoping smiled proudly, feeling that he had learned a new combat method.
Although the losses of this tactic are somewhat high, as long as we can win, everything is worth it. Anyway, it is not his Zhao clan soldiers who died.
"Zhao Tuo, Black Buttocks, you despicable and dirty Qin people, all of you will die!"
Just as Zhaoping clenched his fists and whispered, the Chu people around him suddenly let out a cry of fear.
….
"Qin Jun!"
"It's the Qin Army!"
Zhaoping was startled and looked forward, what happened to the Qin army?
Aren't you still surrounded by our troops in a car formation? Why are you so afraid?
But then, he found that everyone, including Jing Tong, was looking back.
Zhao Ping looked sideways and was stunned, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Qin Army! Why is there Qin Army behind our army!"
About fifty Qin cavalry came galloping forward, and at some point they reached a point two hundred meters behind the Chu army.
Zhao Ping's particularly good eyes can even be seen in the particularly young face of the leading Qin army general.
s face.
If there were only fifty cavalry, it would be nothing, but what frightened the Chu people, including Zhaoping, was that behind these Qin cavalry, there were countless Qin infantry running towards them.
, there were actually thousands of people.
Especially the 100 infantrymen in front. They didn't even wear armor and ran very fast. Their faces were full of excitement and bloodthirsty. Judging from their appearance, they were a group of people who dared to die!
"Block them! Short soldiers, block them quickly!"
Zhaoping was shocked because there were not many soldiers guarding his rear.
Of the ten thousand Chu troops, four thousand were besieging the Qin army's chariot formation.
There were also 4,000 people who had retreated and were sitting around to rest or bandage their wounds.
Zhaoping and Jingtong were surrounded by only a thousand short soldiers.
As for these thousand short soldiers, there are also five hundred in the front, two hundred on each side, and only a thin one hundred in the rear.
After all, the army commander was originally located at the rear of the battle formation to conduct remote command, and the enemies were all surrounded in the front. Who would have thought that so many enemy troops would appear from behind.
Something happened suddenly, and the Chu army was instantly confused.
The short-range soldiers received the order and rushed to the rear in a hurry. From time to time, some people fell down due to panic, or collided with each other and fell, and they became a mess for a while.
Nearly four thousand Chu soldiers resting around were also stunned by the thousands of Qin troops who suddenly appeared behind them.
These Chu soldiers were not elite in the first place, and a battle basically exhausted their energy and will.
In addition, Zuo Sima was insulted by Qin generals who carved words on tree trunks, and was publicly insulted in front of the battle. Scenes like these flashed through their minds from time to time, making them unable to think of any desire to protect them to the death, and their actions were very slow.
.
Under such circumstances, the fifty cavalrymen of the Qin army ran straight into the formation of short soldiers at the rear with an indomitable momentum. Some short soldiers were knocked away on the spot, and some Qin cavalry fell off their horses. People screamed and horses neighed, and there was a chaos.
group.
The hastily formed array of short-sighted soldiers was knocked away by the cavalry of the Qin Army. Following them, a hundred dead soldiers of the Qin Army rushed in with swords and halberds, slashing wildly. Behind them, nine hundred soldiers were about to attack.
Arrive.
The knights who had not fallen off their horses kept waving their swords to kill the blocking Chu soldiers. The particularly young cavalry general stared at the Zuo Sima chariot not far away. He said hello and led a few
A cavalryman galloped forward on horseback.
"Zuo Sima, retreat quickly! retreat quickly!"
Jingtong shouted, clapped his horse and ran forward.
Zhaoping's teeth were chattering and he stared blankly at the Qin general riding his horse towards him.
That face kept enlarging in his eyes.
….
Does this person want to kill the general and seize the flag?
Although Zhaoping was frightened, the charioteer who drove his chariot and horse was an experienced man and he quickly drove the chariot to avoid the attack of the Qin army's cavalry.
At the same time, more than a dozen Zuo Sima soldiers around him also reacted and wanted to surround him and intercept the rampaging Qin general.
"drive!"
Shejian roared low and whipped the horse hard. The horse neighed, and the horse's hooves jumped. After knocking over a short soldier blocking the way, he chased directly behind the body of the war.
Shejian swung his sword to chop Zuo Sima in the carriage, but the opponent was a noble of the country after all. The education he had received since childhood made Zhaoping both civil and military, and his skills were quite extraordinary. In the crisis of life and death, he jumped out of the carriage with a single leap, but instead
He dodged Wabama's sword.
Shejian ignored him, rode forward on his horse, caught up with the charioteer, and stabbed him to death.
As soon as the charioteer died, the carriage rushed for a while and was forced to stop by Shejian. He jumped on the carriage and broke the general flag representing Zuo Sima of the Chu Kingdom.
"Zhaoping is dead, the general's flag is here!"
Shejian raised his arms and shouted, not only in Qin dialect, but also in Chu dialect, which he had just learned.
His voice reached the ears of the Qin and Chu soldiers who were fighting around them.
The Qin soldiers looked up, and all of them were filled with enthusiasm and shouted: "Zhaoping is dead, the general's flag is here!"
"Zhaoping is dead and the Chu army is defeated!"
Everyone in Chu who saw this scene looked as if they were dead.
Hui, they didn't know if Zhaoping was really dead. They only saw that the flag representing Zuo Sima of Chu fell into the hands of the Qin people.
Zhaoping's short soldiers panicked and dropped the flag in the hands of the Qin army. Could it be that Zuo Sima was really killed by the enemy general in the chaos?
Just when these short soldiers were collectively distracted, the Qin soldiers who were fighting with them seized the opportunity and slashed wildly, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere for a while.
The surrounding Chu soldiers who had just reacted to the Qin army's attack had not had time to fight the Qin army. Suddenly, they saw their commander's flag being captured by the Qin people. How could they have any fighting spirit? They fell from the ground one by one.
Get up and run around like a headless fly.
As they ran, they also shouted about Zuo Sima's death, letting the news spread to more Chu people.
This is why Shejian only chased the general's flag and didn't even care about Zhaoping jumping out of the car and running away.
Once the flag is cut off, the morale of the Chu army will be in chaos.
The flag of an army general is the most conspicuous thing on the battlefield.
Several hundred meters away, nearly four thousand Chu soldiers who were besieging the Qin army's chariot formation also noticed something strange behind them. They were first shocked by the Qin army's sudden attack from behind.
[Currently used, it is the most comprehensive and best-used book-listening sound system. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading, hunn.]
Immediately afterwards, in a very short period of time, they saw that their commander's general flag was broken by the Qin people. Whether they were Chu people or Qin people, everyone shouted that Zhaoping was dead.
What a fart fight!
Not to mention that these Chu soldiers did not want to fight at all. Even Zuo Sima was dead at this moment. They dispersed in a rush, including the lower-level Chu army generals and military judges, and fled in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, there was no longer an organized Chu army on the entire battlefield.
The Qin army's chariot formation.
Zhao Tuo jumped onto his command chariot, climbed up and looked far away, and saw that the Chu army's general flag had been cut off, and the Chu soldiers began to flee in large numbers.
He shouted to the Qin soldiers in the formation: "Reinforcements have arrived, Zhaoping is dead, and the Chu army has been defeated! Second or third son, attack!"
"Attack, kill all the Chu people, and avenge Pao Ze!"
"Kill all the Chu people and I want to go home!"
In the chariot formation, countless Qin soldiers shouted filial piety. They had been suppressed and beaten by the Chu people for a long time, and they had long been depressed. Now that they saw the Chu people defeated, how could they not take advantage of the situation to pursue them.
At this moment, the Qin people were like evil tigers emerging from their cages, jumping out of the chariot formation that had protected them for a long time, and frantically pursued and killed the Chu soldiers who were fleeing all around.
Except for the immovable corpses on the ground, nearly eight thousand Chu people fled in panic along the Surabaya River.
