General Qin

"When the sun is covered by the streamers, the enemy is like a cloud, and when the arrows fall, the soldiers fight to be the first."

Amidst the high-pitched songs of Chu, the soldiers of the Chu army rushed to the front of the Qin army despite the rain of arrows from the Qin people.

"No clothes? I'm in the same robe as my son. The king Yu Xingshi repaired my spear. I have the same hatred as my son!"

The Qin army also sang a majestic battle song, and the soldiers held weapons, full of fighting spirit.

The lightly armed crossbowmen at the front dodged to the wings after shooting their arrows.

The Qin pawns holding a long beryllium at the back quickly stepped forward. They stood in a horizontal row, and the beryllium in their hands was more than three meters long.

Amidst the shouts of killing, all the Qin soldiers stabbed forward with the beryllium in their hands.

There was a series of screams, and the soldiers of the Chu army who rushed to the front were stabbed by this wave of beryllium, and they were knocked over. Many Chu soldiers fell to the ground wailing.

But then, the Chu soldiers from behind rushed up again, and they waved their swords and halberds, trying to take the opportunity to kill these Qin soldiers who were holding long berylliums and were unable to move.

Behind those Qin soldiers, the Qin army's halberd soldiers quickly stepped forward, blocking in front of the robes holding beryllium.

What they hold in their hands is a halberd that has the functions of thrusting and slashing, which is enough to block the charging Chu soldiers and fight with them.

The Qin soldier holding the beryllium took the opportunity to withdraw his weapon, retreated to the rear, tightly held the long beryllium in his hand, and looked for opportunities to stab out the weapon from the gaps in the horizontal rows of halberd soldiers to cover the robe and kill the enemy.

During the war between the three armies, the shouts of killing kept ringing out from all over the battlefield, soldiers fell one after another, and new soldiers were added one after another from the rear.

Feng Wuze, Zhao Guang, and Meng Tian conducted specific command operations on the three battlefields of the Qin Army.

Zhao Tuo retreated to the rear, stepped onto the earthen platform specially built for the commander, watched the changes in the battlefield from a height, and carried out the dispatch of the entire battlefield.

"The Chu army's attack is very fierce."

Lu Wan was amazed. He and Li Shang were appointed as generals of the short soldiers, who were responsible for following the general and commanding the short soldiers below to convey the general's orders.

"It's natural and violent. As long as our army blocks this wave and delays, and the Chu army is exhausted, it's time for our army to counterattack."

Standing on the high platform, Zhao Tuo looked at the battlefield where the battle was fought in the distance, and closely observed the changes of the Chu army.

The forwards of the Qin and Chu armies were entangled, and the two sides were evenly matched.

At this time, chariots and cavalry troops appeared on the right wing of the Chu army, flanking the left wing of the Qin army on the opposite side.

The left wing of the Qin army was led by Feng Wuze.

The reason for this arrangement is that the Qin and Chu armies are fighting against the Huai River, and the Qin army is fighting west, while its right army is relying on the Huai River. With this big river as a cover, he was not afraid of the enemy's chariots and cavalry attacks, so Zhao Tuo arranged Meng Tian, ​​who had little battlefield experience, on the right side of the river.

Then, with Feng Wuze, an experienced veteran, as the left army, he can calmly deal with the actions of the Chu army.

Sure enough, when the Chu army's chariots launched a side attack, Feng Wuze arranged for the crossbowmen on the outermost perimeter to shoot first, and then the spearmen who had been prepared in the rear stepped forward and confronted the chariot with their spears.

Following Feng Wuze's dispatch, more than a thousand cavalry soldiers of the Qin Army stepped forward to cooperate with the spearmen to besiege the cavalry troops of the Chu Army and tear apart the soldiers following the Chu Army's cavalry troops.

Because Feng Wuze's troops came across the river, Zhao Tuo didn't have many chariots, so the Qin army had fewer chariots in this battle, but the number of cavalry was still several thousand, which was enough to deal with this battle.

Under Feng Wuze's response, the Chu army's side attack this time did not achieve much results, and the battle situation became stalemate again.

"General Feng, you are really a veteran."

On the earthen platform behind, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but praise.

If he remembers correctly, Feng Wuze was also a figure named Lunhou (Marquis of Guannei) by Qin Wangzheng in the original history, so his ability is naturally beyond doubt.

The main reason why Zhao Tuo dared to fight this battle was because Feng Wuze had the heart of friendship and was willing to fight Zhao Tuo.

With the help of such a veteran, the risk of this battle is naturally much smaller. If Feng Wuze disagreed, Zhao Tuo would not take the risk of asking for a fight.

On the side of the Chu army.

Xiang Yan stood alone, looking at the battle situation in the distance.

Apart from his personal guards who were in charge of guarding and passing orders, there was no general around him.

Even Jing Tong went to the battlefield, conducting command operations on the front line.

"Feng Wuze."

Xiang Yan whispered, knowing that this battle will be difficult.

If a boy like Meng Tian was on the left flank of the Qin army, his chariot raid just now would not have defeated him in one fell swoop, but at least he could have beaten the opponent in a hurry, giving the Chu army a slight advantage. But because of Feng Wuze's calm response, the Chu army's attack did not take advantage of the slightest, and even caused quite a bit of damage.

"With Feng Wuxuan at the other side, it is difficult for the Qin army's left wing to break through, and it can still take care of the Qin's central army. If we want to win this time, we should use Meng Tian's army as the breakthrough point."

Xiang Yan squinted at the Meng Tian You Army on the edge of the Huai River, and the Mongolian flag behind the Qin Army showed his identity as a general.

Pick the soft persimmons and pinch the weak opponents.

He, Xiang Yan, is naturally very clear about this truth.

"Send an order to let our left army pretend to be defeated and retreat, and lure Meng Tian to pursue."

"I also ordered Jing Tong's Chinese army to get ready and told Jing Tong to follow the previous plan. I want to imitate the Jin soldiers' tactics in the battle of Chengpu in the past, and defeat Meng Tian first!"

Xiang Yan spoke in a deep voice, ordering the soldiers to pass on the order.

...

"The Chu army is going to be defeated?"

Meng Tian stood on his chariot, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face was full of surprise.

The three armies are at war, each with its own opponent.

It seemed that the left army of Chu State, who had originally confronted him, the right army, could not hold on, and began to be defeated.

I, Meng Tian, ​​are so powerful, how could I be the first to defeat the enemy army?

Meng Tian's heart was excited.

Beside him, the confidant asked excitedly: "Lieutenant, shall we pursue and advance immediately and take advantage of the victory to defeat the Chu army?"

Meng Tian frowned, he replied: "Send someone to ask General Zhao for instructions."

At the same time, Zhao Tuo on the high platform also saw that the left army of Chu State that Meng Tian's tribe was facing was beginning to be defeated.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests.

The defeat of Chu's left army was enough to change the stalemate in the entire battlefield.

However, Zhao Tuo did not immediately order Meng Tian to pursue the defeated Chu State Zuo Army, because he felt something was wrong.

Xiang Yan is the pillar of the state of Chu, a figure who can wrestle with Wang Jian. Under his command, the Chu army is not so easy to fail. And even if they were defeated, the right army of Chu State that Feng Wuze was facing should be defeated first. How could it be that Meng Tian defeated the enemy army first?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Zhao Tuo also knew clearly that this was an opportunity to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.

On the battlefield, the chance of victory is fleeting.

As a general, you must seize every opportunity and be decisive.

"Order Meng Tian to divide part of his forces to pursue the defeated Chu State's left army, and take advantage of the victory to defeat it. Meng Tian then leads the main force to turn around and go straight into the Chu State's central army, attacking it from the side, and intercepting it in the middle."

"The morale of the Chu army is not high, and they rely on one blow to fight against our army. As long as Meng Tian succeeds in attacking the central army of Chu from the side and flanks Zhao Guang, the central army of Chu can be defeated quickly."

"In this way, the Chu army's central army and left army are both defeated, and the right army cannot stand alone, and it can resist. This is victory!"

Zhao Tuo decisively ordered that before the person Meng Tian sent to ask for instructions arrived, Lu Wan had already sent a messenger.

...

"Okay, this young man Meng Tian is really greedy for merit. Seeing my left army collapsed, he thought of chasing after him. He wanted to take advantage of the situation and destroy my left army, so he fell into my plan."

Xiang Yan looked at the battlefield in the distance.

Seeing that with the defeat of Chu's left army, the opposite Meng Tian's Qin army began to pursue.

This is his opportunity for Xiang Yan to win.

"Four hundred years ago, the first king of our state of Chu became king and was defeated by the Jin people in Yuchengpu. This battle was a great shame for our country of Chu, and Yin Ziyu made Yin Ziyu apologize for it. This battle was always remembered by the Chu generals of all dynasties. forget."

"Today, I'm going to defeat your Qin army with the original tactics of the Jin people!"

Xiang Yan's face was covered with frost.

The battle of Chengpu is an eternal pain in the hearts of Chu people.

Before this battle, the Chu State was in full swing, destroying more than ten small Huai River countries in succession, and expanding its power northward to the Yellow River Basin. Even in his later years, Duke Huan of Qi led the army of the Eight Kingdoms, but it was difficult for the Chu people to drive straight in, and he could only barely restrain the aggressiveness of Chu.

After the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the state of Chu became even more invincible, and Duke Xiang of Song was defeated in the Battle of Hongshui. The pressure made Lu, Wei, Chen, Cai and other countries bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers.

At that moment, the Chu State had the potential to be the hegemon of the world.

However, with the rise of Jin Wengong, he fought against the Chu army in Chengpu and won the battle.

From then on, the hegemony of the Chu State declined, and the Jin State relied on this battle to dominate the world and become the hegemony of the world.

Such a hugely influential World War I was naturally remembered by the people of Chu. The battlefield tactics displayed by the Jin army in this battle are even more unforgettable for the Chu generals of all dynasties.

When Xiang Yan first learned the art of war, he heard his father talk about the tactics of the Jin people.

One of the most critical points is that when the three armies of Jin and Chu faced each other, the Jin army feigned defeat and pretended to retreat to lure the Chu army to pursue it.

The leader of the Chu army on the opposite side, Zi Xixin, believed it was true, and commanded the Chu left army to pursue it. As a result, after the Chu army went deep, it was stopped by the Jin Shang army's counterattack. At the same time, due to the deep pursuit of the Chu army, the flanks were exposed to the Jin army. The Central Army of the Jin State allocated part of its forces to resist the Central Army of the Chu State, and the remaining main force turned to attack the left army of the State of Chu from the flanks. The left army of the Chu State was attacked by the two armies of the Jin State, suffered heavy casualties, and was defeated.

At the same time, the right army of Chu State on the other side was also defeated by the lower army of Jin State. The Chu army lost both wings, and the Chinese army had to retreat, which led to the defeat of Chengpu.

The Battle of Chengpu was a battle that changed the pattern of the world four hundred years ago.

Now, Xiang Yan also wants to use this tactic to defeat the Qin army in front of him and find a way out for Chu.

Feng Wuze's Qin army's left wing is as stable as Mount Tai, and it is difficult for him to break it for a while.

So he decided to use Chu's left army to pretend to be defeated, lure Meng Tian to go deep, and expose the Qin army's flank.

At this time, Jing Tong, who was in the middle army, could turn around with his soldiers and flank Meng Tian's troops.

At the same time, the left army of Chu State counterattacked again, and under the pincer attack of the two armies, the Qin army of Meng Tian's tribe was bound to be defeated.

Once Meng Tian was defeated, the right wing of the Qin army was lost, and Zhao Guang's flank of the Qin army's central army was exposed.

The Chu army took advantage of the situation to attack and flanked the Qin State's central army, so that they could defeat the Qin State's central army.

Both the central and right armies of the Qin army were defeated. No matter how capable Feng Wuze was, commanding the left army, he might be alone.

"So, this is victory!"

Just when Xiang Yan raised his eyes to pay attention.

The battlefield finally moved towards what he expected.

Following the retreat of Chu's left army, Meng Tian led the Qin army to pursue and advance, and penetrated deep into the rear of the Chu army, exposing its flanks.

"Now, our army will win!"

Xiang Yan's eyes were wide open, her voice hoarse.

From his point of view, he could see that with the deepening of Meng Tian's army, thousands of people from the Central Army of Chu State led by Jing Tong had turned to Meng Tian's direction.

Prepare to attack Meng Tian's Qin army from the side, cut it off in the middle, and cooperate with the returning Chu left army to carry out a pincer attack!

On the other side, on the earthen platform behind the Qin army.

"To win!"

Zhao Tuo's eyes were piercing, staring at the battlefield situation in the distance.

Following the retreat of Chu's left army, Meng Tian led his army deep into the flank of Chu's central army.

From Zhao Tuo's point of view, it can be seen that Meng Tian sent some soldiers to continue chasing Chu's left army, making it impossible for them to gather.

At the same time, Meng Tian himself led the main force of the Qin army to turn around and began to attack the central army of the Chu State. He wanted to cooperate with Zhao Guang's Central Army of the State of Qin to attack the Central Army of the State of Chu led by Chu General Jing Tong!

this moment.

Looking down from the sky.

You can see that the Qin army has divided a part of its troops from the north and rushed towards the Chu army.

At the same time, the Central Army of Chu State also allocated a part of its troops to attack the north side, intending to flank the Qin army.

There is a third update in the evening, which will be a little later.
