After a while, Sima Ang saw more than two hundred large and small tanks rumbling towards him carrying thick smoke and dust!
Xiang Liang has a total of four core elite forces in his hands!
The first is the Jiangdong cavalry trained by Xiang Yu, which suffered a lot of losses after the Battle of Huaihe River and has now been replenished to nearly 6,000 men! The second is the more than 30,000 veterans of the Six Nations who have fought against Da Qin!
The third one is the two hundred or so various chariots patchworked together!
The fourth is the more than 80,000 Jiangdong disciples who followed Xiang Liang all the way from Kuaiji to Chengwu in Dongjun! Most of these Jiangdong disciples participated in the bloody battle on the Huaihe River with Wang Li, and they are also considered to have been on the battlefield.
I’ve seen blood!
These four can barely be counted as direct descendants of Xiang Liang’s men now!
Although there are still more than 100,000 Baiyue barbarians, no matter how Xiang Liang reconciles them, the soldiers in the Central Plains will inevitably despise these Baiyue barbarians, which also leads to the unwelcome Baiyue barbarians' hostility towards Xiang Yu's Jiangdong soldiers!
So now, these more than 100,000 Baiyue barbarians are all in the rear army and are under the command of Fan Zeng!
Counting the more than 100,000 Baiyue barbarians, these more than 200,000 troops can be regarded as Xiang Liang's entire property. Of course, the army still training in Shouchun will definitely be embedded with many cronies of the Zhao, Qu, and Jing tribes.
Even if Xiang Liang was in charge, he would not be able to act like his direct descendants.
The remaining more than 100,000 people are the hundreds of survivors from the Six Kingdoms who came to seek refuge against the Qin Dynasty, and I gathered up the thousands of people little by little! Of course, it is mainly Sima Ang and Tian Du who brought the most soldiers!
However, now Sima Ang and Tian Du are the only commanders! All the soldiers were dispersed by Xiang Liang. They were mixed in the front, middle and rear armies, and 50,000 Jiangdong disciples acted as war supervisors to supervise these rabble!
More than two hundred large and small vehicles were galloping unscrupulously, and the chariots were all filled with Jiangdong disciples who were following Xiang Liang. When they saw Sima Ang approaching, they had no intention of stopping to say hello to Sima Ang. They rushed forward with a rumble.
Come!
Sima Ang suddenly felt unhappy, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and hurriedly stepped aside!
After all, looking at the appearance of these Jiangdong soldiers who were driving, if Sima Ang hadn't been there, they would have simply run over him with their vehicles! Life is not that important!
More than two hundred chariots roared past, but the sound of hoofs did not stop. Following the chariots was Xiang Liang's 6,000 Jiangdong cavalry serving as the Chinese army's personal guards! The leader of the six thousand Jiangdong cavalry was impressively positive.
It is Xiang Liang himself who is strong and tenacious!
Sima Ang did not expect that Xiang Liang would directly send out his two elite men and lead the army himself!
The former army was defeated, and Sima Ang, as the leading general, naturally had an unshirkable responsibility! Although the Qin army was too fierce, the former army, which was five times the size of the Qin army, collapsed at the first touch. Judging from this, he, the former general, was also suspected of being incompetent.
!
Seeing Sima Ang Xiang Liang hurriedly approaching, he raised his hand, and the six thousand Jiangdong cavalry quickly reined in their horses, and Jingjinghou was behind him!
"General!..." Sima Ang turned over and dismounted with a face of shame, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists!
"General Sima! It doesn't have to be like this!" Xiang Liang, who had no intention of taking the opportunity to cause trouble to Sima Ang, did not expect that Sima Ang would directly give him such a grand salute. He quickly got off his horse and supported Sima Ang with both hands, interrupting him!
"General! The front army was defeated, I will apologize!" Sima Ang insisted on kneeling down on one knee. Xiang Liang's actions immediately made him feel confident. It seemed that Xiang Liang would not take the opportunity to deal with him!
Xiang Liang's mouth twitched when he heard Sima Ang's words!
Can you act more realistically?
"General Sima, please rise! The Qin army is fierce. We all know it! This time, I was not thinking carefully! I didn't expect that the Emperor of Qin would dare to send troops to attack our hundreds of thousands of troops when he was hiding in a city! General Sima, with only 50,000 soldiers,
It is extremely difficult for the soldiers in the battle formation to hold out until the army comes for reinforcements. General Sima is indeed a famous general!"
Xiang Liang even boasted about the defeat of Sima Ang's former army and made it seem like it was a great achievement!
Even Sima Ang, the instigator, couldn't help but blush when he heard Xiang Liang's words, but he had already followed the trend!
"General Sima, can we fight again?" Xiang Liang looked at the six thousand Jiangdong cavalry standing quietly on one side and said loudly!
"If you can fight with the general against the Qin people, Sima will die with no regrets!" Sima Ang said loudly with a smile!
"good!"
Xiang Liang got on his horse, pointed to the front of the three Qin troops who were still a thousand steps away from the army and were chasing the fleeing soldiers of the former army.
"
"I have my wish but dare not invite you! General, please!"
Sima Ang was so excited by Xiang Liang's words that he got on his horse and bowed to Xiang Liang!
"drive!"
Xiang Liang stopped being polite to Sima Ang and rode out at the lead! Sima Ang hurriedly followed!
The sound of hoofbeats roared. Behind the two of them, more than 6,000 Jiangdong cavalry followed closely!
The distance between Sima Ang's front army and Xiang Liang's central army was not too far away. In the bright day, the majestic momentum of the Qin Dynasty's elite cavalry running thousands of horses could be clearly seen in the wilderness even ten miles away!
So when the Qin Dynasty's elite cavalry approached Sima Ang's front army within five miles, Xiang Liang, who was scheming with Zhang Liang, received a message from his personal guards!
Zhang Liang and Xiang Liang stepped out of the carriage and stood on the shaft of the carriage, setting up a pergola with their hands. They could clearly see the smoke and dust rising from the galloping horses in the north, and heard the roar of galloping horse hooves.
Xiang Liang and Zhang Liangren knew that it must be the Qin cavalry that launched a surprise attack on Sima Ang's advancing army without reporting it from their subordinates!
No one thought that Emperor Qin would be so bold!
His own army of hundreds of thousands came with great force. The Qin army, which numbered just over 10,000 people, not only failed to defend Chengwu County, but actually dared to send troops to attack first!
In a moment, both Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang saw why the Qin cavalry took the risk to attack their own army!
Hundreds of thousands of troops are coming with force, and their morale must be high! And the front troops who are trekking at this moment must be the most exhausted. Attacking at this moment can not only destroy the morale of their own army in one fell swoop, but also give the rest of the rebel soldiers a disincentive!
Therefore, Xiang Liang directly pulled out the two elites in his hands without hesitation!
Six thousand Jiangdong cavalry and more than two hundred large and small chariots!
The Qin people came to our door, so it was impossible to let them run away in vain!
Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang also knew that even if the front army was destroyed in this battle, as long as they could keep even one third of the nearly 10,000 Qin elite cavalry, the Qin people's plan would be in vain.
If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose a handful of rice!
It's just that Xiang Liang didn't expect that the former army would collapse so quickly!
It seems that the scouts came to report that the Qin army's cavalry had not joined the front army, but they just used powerful crossbows to completely defeat the entire front army!
The first thing that the collapsed front army was about to block was the path forward of his 6,000 cavalry and more than 200 chariots, so Xiang Liang did not hesitate to issue the order to withdraw his troops!
Of course, the troops collected can only be the front army!
When he saw Sima Ang, Xiang Liang did have the urge to kill him on the spot!
However, now that the battle has not yet begun and the generals are about to be killed, it would be great if their Jiangdong cavalry can defeat the Qin army in this battle. If it is a tie or defeat, the impact on morale will be even greater!
Therefore, Xiang Liang suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and spared Sima Ang, and also praised him a lot!
…
Du Teng and others heard the sound of gold ringing and the roar of horse hoofs in Xiang Liang's formation, which was killing the fleeing front army! Even though the entire front army had collapsed, Xiang Liang still sent troops to fight the Qin cavalry. Du Teng
It’s no surprise to others!
After all, if he and others could think of attacking Xiang Liang's former army to destroy their morale, Xiang Liang would naturally be able to tell something about it through the movements of his own army!
However, Xiang Liang's quick response and the army's arrival were beyond Du Teng's expectation!
When more than two hundred large and small chariots rumbled into view, the movements of the Great Qin Jingqi were slowed down!
After seeing the Qin army's cavalry, more than two hundred chariots suddenly split into two, and came over from both sides of the front army formation, which left corpses everywhere! They wanted to cut off the entire road from both sides for the Qin cavalry to return to the city!
As more than two hundred chariots separated, the six thousand Jiangdong cavalry followed by Xiang Liang himself appeared in front of the Qin Jingqi!
The two sides are still more than 600 steps apart at this moment!
Fan Kuai saw the movements of Xiang Liang's rebel chariots, Du Teng and Xia Houying, and in an instant Du Teng understood the battle situation in front of him!
A long horn sound suddenly sounded from Du Teng's formation! This battle is led by Du Teng! He gives orders and controls most of the marching formations!
Hearing the sound of the horn, the Great Qin cavalry who originally dispersed to chase the fleeing soldiers of Sima Ang's former army began to give up the pursuit, turned their horses and began to gather around the sound of the horn!
At this moment, Du Teng has not yet decided whether to continue fighting or return to the city directly! However, the Qin cavalry gathered and dispersed, whether to fight or to return to the city, it was necessary!
In this battle, it can be said that all the combat objectives have been achieved! Of course, that was because Xiang Liang's army did not come fast enough! Xiang Liang's army rushed to the rescue so quickly. If the Qin Dynasty's elite cavalry left without taking over,
Then the effect of this battle in destroying Xiang Liang's morale will be greatly reduced!
After all, the Qin army retreated without fighting when they saw Xiang Liang's cavalry and chariots. The Qin army soldiers knew that this was to reduce unnecessary casualties, but those rebel soldiers would definitely think that the Qin army was afraid of Xiang Liang's cavalry!
I'm afraid it didn't have the effect of destroying the enemy's morale, but it actually gave the rebel soldiers some confidence!
However, if they do not leave now, once they engage in battle with Xiang Liang's army, if they cannot quickly defeat these two hundred chariots and the galloping Xiang Liang cavalry, the entire Qin army will probably fall into the formation of Xiang Liang's army.
!
After all, at this moment, the Qin army is absolutely weak, but Xiang Liang has hundreds of thousands of troops! As long as he uses chariots to block the Qin army's retreat, and then uses cavalry to hold back the Qin army, there is no need to think that Xiang Liang will definitely use
A large number of infantry surrounded and killed the eight thousand elite Qin cavalry who came out alone!
To fight or not to fight?
Du Teng quietly looked at the 6,000 Jiangdong cavalry that were galloping towards him, weighing rapidly in his mind! (To be continued)
