Xiang Liang never thought why the Qin cavalry, which was rushing towards the large group of Chu soldiers that had collapsed, suddenly turned around and ran in his direction.
Inadvertently, Xiang Liang heard something rustling above his head. When he looked up, he saw a large flag several feet high waving in the wind. In the center of the flag, which was about ten feet long, was the big word "xiang".
I'm afraid I can see it clearly even from miles away.
The commander's flag always moves with the general, and what the commander's flag points to is the direction in which the entire army is advancing and attacking. This is common sense that all soldiers learn on the first day they put on their armor and pick up their weapons.
And the commander's flag cannot be lost casually. The loss or destruction of the commander's flag means the defeat of this army! Therefore, the commander's flag is always in the hands of the general's confidant, called the lieutenant holding the flag!
It seems that the soldiers around Xiang Liang still keep this common sense in mind.
If it were in the past, the soldiers around him could firmly protect the commander's flag from falling down or being lost in such a chaotic army, Xiang Liang would praise him no matter what he said, and maybe even give him a three-level promotion directly.
pole.
But today, Xiang Liang looked at the flag-bearing lieutenant with a look that not only showed no appreciation, but also looked like he wanted to tear him alive. If possible, Xiang Liang really wanted to chop him with a knife right now.
Seeing this cheerful flag flying in the air, Xiang Liang already understood why the Qin army's cavalry suddenly turned around and ran towards him.
The Qin army obviously knew the meaning of the commander's flag better than the soldiers of the Chu army. When they saw the commander's flag, they naturally understood that the leader of the Chu army was themselves, and Xiang Liang was here. Compared with ordinary Chu army soldiers, he must have
The value is much higher than those soldiers.
"Put away the commander's flag! Quick!"
Xiang Liang looked at the cavalry of the Qinglong Army running towards them and shouted sharply.
After a while, the commander's flag with the word "xiang" indicating Xiang Liang's identity disappeared. And the thousands of soldiers surrounding Xiang Liang also split into two groups and began to flee separately under Xiang Liang's command.
At this time, Fan Zeng also sent 10,000 infantry to intercept the 15,000 cavalry of the Qinglong Army. Fan Zeng discovered earlier than Xiang Liang that Shuai Qi was causing trouble, so his reaction was faster than Xiang Liang's.
A little bit higher.
Du Teng, who was in the rear of the White Tiger Army, saw the cavalry of the Qinglong Army turning their horses and rushing towards Xiang Liang. He couldn't help but cursed Xu Chuang. He knew very well that Xu Chuang was sending people here in an aboveboard and aboveboard manner.
Take the credit.
Why does the White Tiger Army have no cavalry?
However, Du Teng smiled again when he saw Xiang Liang put away his flag and another group of infantry marched out from Xiang Liang's camp to intercept the Qinglong Army's cavalry. Du Teng also had a thousand bodyguard cavalry beside him.
After all the five thousand scout cavalry were sent out, this was the only cavalry left in the entire White Tiger Army. And they were all his own soldiers.
"Zeng Lan, you lead a thousand soldiers to get me Xiang Liang's head! Xiang Liang should be in the wave of Chu troops rushing to the camp." Du Teng said, holding the dan in his hand.
He handed the binoculars to Zeng Lan, the military commander beside him.
The chief generals of the five legions, including Wei Liao, Meng Tian, and Zhang Han, now all have a monocular telescope given by Hu Hai. After a period of exploration, Shangfang's speed and success rate in manufacturing monocular telescopes have been greatly improved. Although
The cost of grinding lenses with pure crystal is still high, but Hu Hai can still afford to try the water.
Therefore, after the subsequent production of more than ten monocular telescopes, Hu Hai simply gave one to everyone. When marching and fighting, having such a telescope may be able to determine the outcome of a war at a critical moment.
Zeng Lan, like Du Teng, was born in the prisoner army, and he once accompanied Du Teng to escort Hu Hai on his eastward patrol and experienced the Battle of Chengwu. At that time, Zeng Lan was Du Teng's personal soldier. Now Du Teng has become the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Army.
Zeng Lan soon became Du Teng's personal soldier, commanding Du Teng's 5,000 personal soldiers.
"General, we are leaving, your safety..."
"Do you think there is still a Chu army on this battlefield that can kill me? Don't be nagging, hurry up, or let Xu Chuang's cavalry take the lead. See how I deal with you!" Du Teng interrupted Zeng Lan.
If so, he said fiercely.
Du Teng now has the heart to eat Xu Chuang alive for taking advantage of the situation. Bullying people don't bully people like this, right? The White Tiger Army is all infantry, and only 10,000 cavalry are left by the emperor to garrison in Xianyang.
You can just send your cavalry to snatch the heads that belong to me? If it's just to snatch the heads, that's fine. You also specifically snatched the heads of the few big fish that the emperor asked for. It's simply too much.
.
He knew very well that without Xu Chuang's instruction, the Qinglong Army cavalry would never have been able to turn their horses around and change their targets to kill Xiang Liang when supporting the friendly forces. You know, the emperor was not only concerned about the matter of taking credit from each other on the battlefield.
Mentioned once.
There is even a ban in the army. All generals and soldiers of the Qin army who pretend to be leaders or compete for first-level military honors on the battlefield will be killed without mercy. After being killed, they will be permanently recorded on the blacklist of Shangji Mansion.
Above, this stain will remain within one generation, and military merit will double after three generations.
In other words, as long as something like this happens once, then if a relative three generations later joins the army, killing one person would be counted as military merit, but the descendants of this soldier would need to kill two enemies to be counted as one person.
The enemy's military exploits.
This move must be said to be extremely vicious!
At the same time, Hu Hai also made clear punishments for crimes that were easily committed by ancient soldiers such as killing innocent people, robbing people, raping women, etc. All of them will be killed without mercy! They will also be recorded on the blacklist of Shangji Mansion.
You must know that in the Qin Dynasty, joining the army to obtain military honors is to obtain land and wealth, and it is the lowest threshold and the fastest way to obtain a title and a glorious family name. As long as such a thing happens once, not only will one's life be lost, but one will not be able to hold one's head up for three generations. Who can do it?
Dare you do such a thing?
The relationship between the five generals of the five legions from the Bashang Camp is extremely good.
And what Xu Chuang asked the Qinglong Army to do today is actually not a robbery for military merit. After all, Xiang Liang is still an ownerless thing, and the Qinglong Army cavalry came under the guise of rushing to help.
This is why Du Teng is so angry!
If Xu Chuang's Qinglong Army cavalry really took Xiang Liang's head or captured Xiang Liang alive, then even if Du Teng was taken advantage of by Xu Chuang, he would still be grateful for Xu Chuang's rescue today.
The Red and Green Family is definitely indispensable.
At that time, Du Teng was really suffering and couldn't express his pain!
Now that the Chu army was obviously bound to lose, there was no way Du Teng would let Xu Chuang, a bitch, steal Xiang Liang's head.
Zeng Lan looked carefully through the telescope for a long time, firmly remembering a few people who were most likely to be Xiang Liang, and then with a roar, a thousand Du Teng's soldiers swept toward Xiang Liang's location like lightning.
go.
The Qinglong Army cavalry itself is several miles away from Xiang Liang, and now there are 10,000 infantry sent by Fan Zeng blocking the road. Although the combat power of those 10,000 infantry is basically negligible, it will definitely waste time.
If nothing else happens, Du Teng's thousand soldiers should have decided Xiang Liang's head.
At this moment on the battlefield, the soldiers of the White Tiger Army did not need to shout, but the soldiers of the Chu Army consciously threw their weapons aside, raised their hands high and gave up resistance.
When the soldiers of the White Tiger Army saw the soldiers of the Chu Army with their hands raised high, they would immediately put away their crossbows and draw their weapons to be on guard. Then the soldiers rushed out of the formation to take these Chu soldiers who had put down their weapons and raised their hands away from the battlefield and set aside to guard them.
.
Seeing this scene, more and more soldiers of the Chu army, who were driven into the sky and into the ground by the strong crossbows of the White Tiger Army, dropped their weapons one after another, and raised their hands in imitation, waiting for the soldiers of the White Tiger Army to gather.
If anyone could pay attention to the first batch of Chu soldiers who laid down their weapons and surrendered, they would find one thing in common. That is that they all had the word "punishment" stamped on their faces.
Some people surrendered and survived. More and more Chu troops began to give up escaping and chose to surrender and survive. Each of the five legions had been specially trained to handle surrendered soldiers. Putting down weapons and raising hands was exactly what Hu Hai had taught each legion.
The method used to treat the surrendered pawn.
Xiang Liang whipped his horse desperately, trying to join Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng was also anxiously waiting for Xiang Liang's arrival. The Qin army sent another cavalry force of more than a thousand men to chase Xiang Liang.
and Fan Zeng both saw it.
Fan Zeng was too far away from the Qin army of more than a thousand men, so Xiang Liang once again sent half of his own soldiers of less than 2,000 men out to intercept Zeng Lan's 1,000 cavalry.
The number of soldiers following Xiang Liang now totals no more than a few hundred.
Xiang Liang didn't notice that among the hundreds of soldiers still surrounding him, more than a hundred of them were soldiers of the Chu army with the word "Xing" branded on their faces. At this moment, these soldiers were quietly running towards Xiang Liang.
They gathered around Xiang Liang and squeezed out all the Chu soldiers who did not have the word "Xing" on their faces.
If Fan Zeng had not focused all his attention on Xiang Liang and paid more attention to his surroundings, he would have discovered that where he stood, the Chu soldiers surrounding him also had the word "punishment" stamped on their faces, and
There were more Chu soldiers with the word "Xing" branded on their faces, who were quietly moving forward, slowly gathering towards Fan Zeng's position.
However, at this moment, on the chaotic battlefield, no one noticed the strangeness of these soldiers with the word "Xing" branded on their faces and cold eyes who were always in the middle of the Chu army.
Xiang Liang, who was galloping on his horse, suddenly heard a loud whistle sound beside him.
The moment the whistle sounded, a figure jumped into the air from the horse on the left side of Xiang Liang, and rushed towards Xiang Liang like a tiger descending the mountain. As the figure rushed towards Xiang Liang, hundreds of people gathered around Xiang Liang.
Yu Ming actually pulled out the bronze sword from his waist at the same time and slashed at the Chu soldiers beside him.
Xiang Liang never thought that he would be attacked at this time! Before his head could react, he felt a strong force and was thrown off his horse.
A series of screams and exclamations rang out, and Xiang Liang's soldiers who were suddenly attacked screamed and fell off their horses. The hundreds of soldiers surrounding Xiang Liang were instantly in chaos. (To be continued. If you like
