"The Xiang family colluded with assassins and conspired to rebel. The crime cannot be punished!"
"Marquis Wu Gong leads his army south to capture the rebels. There are still 100,000 troops in the rear. They will arrive in an instant. All your resistance will be turned into dust, and your corpses will be reduced to withered bones on the roadside!"
With the sound of the ten loudspeakers echoing in the wilderness.
All three thousand Chu troops looked horrified.
Martial Arts Lord Zhao Tuo!
Qin’s army is one hundred thousand!
Although the backbone of the Xiang family knew that their rebellion was sudden, and it was impossible for the Qin army to have 100,000 people to support them in this short period of time, those who were coerced, Qingzhuang, didn't know that.
Most of these people are illiterate Guizhou farmers with little knowledge and are full of fear of the Qin army. When they heard this, they were already trembling with fear at the name of Zhao Tuo and the news of the 100,000-strong army. What else could there be?
The ability to think.
Immediately afterwards, the sound from the Qin army's loudspeaker further dampened their fighting spirit.
"The prince knows that this rebellion is actually the mastermind of the Xiang family. Most of you are good citizens of Sishui County, and you were coerced by him to participate in the war. The prince upholds the virtues of the emperor..."
Amidst the blasts of trumpets, the hearts of these young young men who were trapped in this situation surged with emotion.
"Your Majesty really understands us and knows that we were coerced by the Xiang family."
"My mother is here, my wife is weak and I have a young child. If I hadn't been forced by these Xiang people with weapons, how could I have rebelled? I want to live!"
Compared to the young and strong men who were being held hostage, the faces of everyone in the Xiang family changed drastically.
The Qin army first used the reputation of the martial arts lord Zhao Tuo to dampen their fighting spirit, used a hundred thousand troops to frighten their military morale, and finally divided them.
Especially when Qin Zu shouted something, a chill rose up from the soles of the feet of all the Xiang family members.
"In this battle, we will only punish the Xiang family for treason. The rest will surrender and not be killed. If you kill only one of the Xiang family, you can resist the crime of rebellion!"
Xiang Liang's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Attack! Defeat the Qin army for me!"
We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, it will be the opposite.
Such a terrible psychological attack method.
Xiang Liang was completely sure that Zhao Tuo was leading the army on the opposite side.
It is said in the world that Zhao Tuo likes to use mind-attacking techniques the most in battles. Judging from what we saw today, the Qin army on the opposite side used his style of fighting.
"Attack!"
"Expel the Qin captives and restore Jingchu!"
Xiang Mao, Xiang Sheng, Xiang Xiang and other backbone members of the Xiang clan shouted together, urging the three thousand people to attack.
Under the shouts one after another, under the threat of swordsmen, and under the charge of those who dared to die, these three thousand people suppressed the complicated thoughts in their hearts, shouted and launched an attack on the Qin army's formation ahead.
Seeing that the war had officially begun, Xiang Liang's face turned gloomy, and the hand holding his sword was trembling slightly.
What the hell is this? A real war is completely different from his imagination of a fair confrontation between the two armies and a battle formation.
The opponent first used cavalry to harass, and then used the so-called trumpet tactic to force him to attack immediately. From the beginning to the end, Xiang Liang felt that he was being led by the opponent.
If Zhao Tuo asked him to order an attack, he would have to order an attack without stopping for a moment.
"Sun Tzu Wu said that those who are good at fighting can cause harm but not harm others. The martial arts prince Zhao Tuo is really terrible. He actually played me in the palm of his hand. For this plan, if he wants to win, I am afraid I can only rely on the number of people. "
Xiang Liang murmured, a flash of despair flashing in his eyes.
At this time, facing the Chu army's sudden attack, the Qin army's formation on the opposite side immediately moved.
The Qin soldiers holding trumpets retreated into the formation, and the Qin army crossbowmen in the front row knelt down and raised their crossbows in a shooting posture. When the Chu army's daredevils rushed into the firing range, they only listened to an order, and hundreds of arrows were fired. Came out.
A group of Chu people at the front fell, and screams came one after another.
Then a very funny scene appeared. Just as Qin Nu was shooting, among the Chu army's charging array, Xia Xiang Qingzhuang, who had been frightened for a long time, actually turned around and ran away while charging forward.
Then as soon as he turned around, he was stabbed through by a fellow countryman behind him who was advancing with a wooden spear.
The two looked at each other, both filled with astonishment.
There are many scenes like this.
What's more, some people have been brainwashed by the Qin army's propaganda just now, especially the sentence "The Xiang family can be punished alone, but they can resist the crime of rebellion", which made these forced Qingzhuang think differently in fear. .
When someone saw a Xiang clan member standing next to him, he pounced on him without hesitation and stabbed his neck with the sword in his hand, hoping to cut off his head to atone for his crime.
Chaos and uncontrollable appeared in the Chu army's charging array.
"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things. Although the rebels are more numerous than our army, they are all a mob, and most of them are heads of Guizhou who have been coerced by the Xiang family. When they encountered the words of forgiveness preached by Your Majesty, they really came to the battlefield. If we turn against you, if you attack now, you will definitely win a complete victory. Your Majesty has seen clearly, I was confused before."
In the Qin army's battle formation, Zhao Guang, who was in charge of the battle, couldn't help but sigh and secretly praised Zhao Tuo's method of controlling people's hearts.
Then the veteran quickly seized the opportunity.
"The crossbowmen retreat, the infantry advance!"
"Cavalry flanks the enemy from both sides to break them!"
The messengers ran and shouted, holding loudspeakers to convey military orders.
The entire Qin army's formation changed again. The crossbowmen in the front row who had finished shooting immediately ran to both sides, and the sword, shield, and spear halberd soldiers behind them began to move forward.
They formed a group, with short soldiers in front and long soldiers behind. They marched in neat steps towards the chaotic Chu army in front.
In the eyes of Xiang Liang and others, such a scene just felt like a black cloud slowly falling down.
What's even more frightening is that on both sides of the Qin army, there are hundreds of cavalry galloping out. They are extremely fast, bypassing the Chu army forward in front, and drive directly to the middle of the Chu army. They charge and shout at the same time. They are very powerful. amazing.
Xiang Liang placed thirty cavalry on each side of the Chu army and two hundred infantry armed with spears and halberds on each side to protect the flanks from the Qin army's attack.
But at this moment, the Chu army was in chaos, and the Chu soldiers on both sides had no fighting spirit at all. Seeing the Qin army cavalry approaching on horseback, some actually dropped their spears and halberds on the spot, then turned and ran away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Qin army used two cavalry harassments before, which planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of these Chu people. Later, Zhao Tuo’s self-registration number promoted the words of pardon, just like
It is water full of nutrients that pours on this seed, and then it takes root and sprouts, and fear breaks out of the ground.
One person runs, everyone runs.
"Those who run away die!"
Xiang Sheng, who was sitting on the horse, shouted, but in this chaotic situation, no one paid any attention to him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiang Sheng felt fear in his heart and followed the defeated soldiers to retreat on horseback.
Then, the Qin army's cavalry inserted into the middle of the Chu army from both sides. The front army was in chaos and was pressed up from the front by the Qin army's infantry. It collapsed on the spot.
"Failed!"
"Our army is defeated!"
"Run quickly!"
Everyone shouted, some ran away, some took advantage of the chaos to kill Xiang's people, and some laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army...
Xiang Liang, who was in charge of the Chu army's rear, was stunned.
He lost.
This is actually normal. When he heard that Zhao Tuo was leading the army on the opposite side, Xiang Liang was already prepared for failure.
However, the battle was lost in just one round. Before the Qin army on the opposite side could fight, their own troops were confused and started killing each other.
"The rabble...the rabble!"
Xiang Liang looked up to the sky and shouted, full of unwillingness.
After the first actual battle, Xiang Liang finally understood that in war, numerical superiority can easily become a trap for failure.
If he had known this, he might as well have led the Xiang family's descendants and the prime minister's men to attack the Qin army at night, and maybe the battle would have been better than the one before him.
A fast horse came galloping, its collar, hair and beard were scattered, and it said with red eyes: "Brother, our army has been defeated. The situation is over. Let's leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Behind Xiang Juan, there was a large area of the Chu army that was being chased by the Qin army and collapsed.
Xiang Liang thought of a word in Wu Sun Tzu's book.
Like driving a flock of sheep!
Xiang Liang shook his head, banishing the scene of sheep being chased by tigers and wolves from his mind.
Under Xiang Juan's urging, he once again glanced sideways in the direction of the Qin army, wanting to see the commander of the Qin army.
It's a pity that when you enter the scene, there are only scenes of the Qin army chasing and slashing the Chu army, and the scenes of the Chu people surrendering to the Qin army one after another.
The person he wanted to see was just a small black dot in the distance.
"Let's go."
Xiang Liang spoke bitterly, and together with Xiang Juan, they rode towards Xiangcheng.
Behind the Qin army, Zhao Tuo stood on a high platform built and looked at the battle in the distance with a calm expression.
An expected situation.
Although the Chu army is large in number, most of them are young and strong men who have been coerced by Xiang Liang. Qin's laws are strict and taxes are heavy, but the emperor has not yet built the Great Wall and has not yet conquered Baiyue with an army of 500,000 soldiers.
, the burden of the people of the world has not reached the limit, far from forcing these Guizhou leaders to death.
In this situation, everyone has parents, wives and children, and they have families to support. Except for a few light knights and die-hard loyalists from the Six Kingdoms, which ordinary person is willing to follow the Xiang family in rebellion.
When Zhao Tuo put out the slogan of only killing the Xiang family, these people would naturally start a rebellion in order to survive.
"Send an order to Zhao Guang to leave 500 infantry to collect the surrender and screen the prisoners. The remaining troops will immediately drive off the troops and capture Xiangcheng!"
"Order the cavalry to pursue Xiang Liang and his brothers."
"You want to see people when you are alive, you want to see corpses when you die!"
Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of coldness.
Defeating the Chu army of the Prime Minister is nothing.
