Qin Official

Huaimu had no armor on his body, and his weapons were only a sword and a small leather buckler, but he was fearless. With dozens of Qin soldiers howling around him, he rushed into the Chu people's formation in one go. in the queue.

This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing.

That was five years ago. When he was still a subordinate, he was called to the front line and participated in the war against Korea. When the war started, he and eighteen ministers and people who had committed capital crimes were grouped together. The commander said that they were trappers. They had no armor and only short soldiers. They had to stand in front of the entire army and charge against the enemy. .

"If you, eighteen of you, are able to capture five of the enemy's heads, those who were previously executed will be exempted from the death penalty, and those who were previously subordinates will be restored to their freedom of status. If anyone is afraid to move forward, he will be tattooed in front of thousands of people watching. Severe punishment for having a sore face and a sore nose!”

In that battle, only eight of the eighteen people survived. They stood among the enemy's corpses, carrying five heads and bathing in blood. After that, Huaimu regained his freedom from being a subordinate. For the first time, he could walk on the streets without any scruples, without having to wear wooden tongs and be looked down upon by others.

But that's not enough. His mother is still working as a Chengdan pounder, and he has two younger brothers who are still minor officials in the county. The laws of the Qin State stipulated that if one could be beheaded and gain a title, he could redeem his family's life. So in the next few battles, Huaimu fought bravely, just to cut off his head in exchange for the freedom of his mother and brothers.

It was a pity that his mother died before she could be released, so those two levels of titles returned to Huaimu. He was not able to wait until the next year when he could apply for a title replacement, so he was recruited again to serve as the commander of the village. Identity defeated Wei.

This is why he risked his life to be the first to die in the Battle of Waihuang.

The title was obtained, and he survived because Heihu helped bandage him. But the war is far away. The king has just finished conquering Wei and wants to attack Chu again. Fortunately, Heifu Baijiang loved his soldiers and not only wrote letters for them to send home, but also allowed everyone to retreat with intact structures when the Qin army was defeated. This is a rare thing.

After experiencing so many battles, Huaimu also vaguely understood that it was easier to see the ability of a military officer in defeat than in victory.

It is easy to pursue with the wind, but difficult to retreat with the whole army.

Now they retreated to the isolated city and were in a desperate situation. Hei Fu's inspiring speech once again united the frightened Qin soldiers. Everyone held their breath and returned to the army without stopping. If anyone dares to stop them from going home, just wait and see how the Qin army fights for their lives!

We are not drowned dogs, but tigers and wolves!

Therefore, when Heifu wanted to choose someone to lead the trapped men, Huaimu and Dongmen Bao stood up to answer the order and compete for this position!

"I once climbed to Waihuang first and beheaded the enemy three times!" Dongmen Leopard showed off his achievements like this, with the birthmark on his face turning red.

But Huaimu's qualifications immediately outshone this young man.

"I was a trapper three times! Once I was the first to get there, and I was beheaded five times!" He opened his clothes and showed off his scars to everyone.

After thinking about it, Heifu decided to let Huaimu, who was more experienced, take on this important task. With his men and another hundred short-distance guards, he first threw down his armor at the top of the city to confuse the Chu army, and then lined up outside the city. When the drum beat, he launched a fearless charge towards the Chu formation!

"If the entire army is a sword, then the men who trap the enemy are the tip of the sword! Only if you break through the enemy's armor can the sword blade follow!" Heifu said to Huaimu, after trapping the enemy, Soldiers are the key to the success or failure of this breakout.

Huaimu happily agreed. In his opinion, the people who are trapped in the team actually have to do the simplest thing. Tactics? There is no need at all, just one sentence, don't be afraid of death, rush!

Moreover, this is probably the charge with the least obstacles since Huaimu became a warrior, right?

The Chu people were not prepared for battle at all. They did not dig trenches in front of the array, and the archers were not on standby. The arrows shot in a hurry were loose and scattered. Only the unlucky ones would run into them and be shot to the ground. After all, they were all shot to the ground. Without armor, once he is hit, he will be seriously injured.

But soon, the advantage of not wearing heavy armor came to light. The Tun in front charged very quickly and went straight into the hands of the Chu archers who were busy drawing arrows and drawing bows.

This group of archers also had no armor, and being rushed in by the trapped men was like a tiger entering a sheepfold. Once the archers were approached, they were completely targeted for massacre. They either fled in panic, or took out the daggers on their waists to resist, raising their bows in an attempt to block the sharp swords, and were soon chopped down like melons and vegetables. A large area was knocked down...

The same goes for the troops led by Huaimu. They moved quickly and aimed at the spear-wielding soldiers beside the archers. Before the Chu people had time to raise their spears or shields, they were rushed to pieces. The already uneven array in the front row was instantly thrown into chaos.

Even though Huaimu has no armor, he has no fear. He holds a long sword and kills in all directions, harvesting lives one after another.

A Chu soldier foolishly rushed towards Huaimu, swung his sword and pecked at him. As a result, his sword stabbed him in the chest, penetrating the leather armor, muscles and lungs, killing the man instantly.

But the sword blade was stuck in the opponent's chest and ribs and could not be pulled out. Two more Chu soldiers were attacking him from the side. Huaimu didn't panic. He immediately lowered his head to pick up the gun, swung the enemy's spear away, suddenly pulled out the sword that was still in the corpse, kicked open a shield that was pushed against his back, and hit the Chu people hiding behind. The sword breaks the throat.

The surrounding scene was equally chaotic, with fighting everywhere, and the trapped soldiers achieved brilliant results. In a moment, a group of archers and a group of spearmen were defeated.

Unfortunately, even though the two formations were defeated first, there were only a hundred people trapped in the formation. The impact was already at the end of the force, and they could no longer move forward. Without armor protection, there were many casualties. There were too many Chu people, and the formations on the left and right were slowly closing in, trying to surround them. However, this subconscious behavior made the Chu people's formation even more chaotic.

At this point, everyone's mission has been completed, which is to disrupt the enemy's formation and let Pao Ze from behind come in!

During the break in the fight, Huaimu looked to the rear. Following closely behind the trapped men was the main force of the Qin people, six hundred men running in neat steps and holding spears. They were already more than ten paces away...

…

"Broken!"

When he saw that the trapped soldiers led by Huaimu had defeated two hundred soldiers of the Chu people and opened a gap, Heifu, who was walking in the formation, patted his thigh excitedly!

This time, he no longer took the lead as he did when he was the commander of the village, shouting "The second and third sons will follow me."

It is no longer like being a short-term soldier with hundreds of generals, never leaving the main general...

Because he is the commander of the Qin Army in this battle!

There were only six to seven hundred people under his command, and there was no complicated command like when a large army was fighting. Communication basically relied on shouting, so Heifu personally commanded two hundred-man teams. Dongmen Bao, Zhai Chong, Tu Si, and Man each commanded a hundred people. They left the city, and after lining up, they trotted forward to the sound of drums played by Li Xian at the top of the city.

Heifu asked Tu Si and Man to be on the left and right, and Zhai Chong was at the rear, with his two hundred men walking in the middle.

The one hundred people at the front were led by Dongmen Leopard, all wearing thick armor, five in a row, twenty in a row, and the two rows in front were holding chief spears.

The chieftain's spear is an impact spear used by infantry. Although it is not as long as the longest "barbarian spear", it is two feet and four feet, nearly six meters! But it is also 20 feet, four and a half meters long, and must be held by two people to ensure rapid movement.

These chief spears were all found in the arsenal in the city. As "heavy" weapons in the hands of infantry, when twenty chief spears were laid flat and moved forward quickly, the momentum was extremely terrifying!

The only things that could compete with the spears were spears of the same length and huge oar shields. Everyone pushed each other to see who could defeat whom. This was the normal state of the heavy infantry phalanx competition after the war started in these years.

However, the Chu people had been thrown into disarray by the trapped soldiers. One group of spearmen had been defeated, and the other group was blocked from behind and could not be mobilized. Dou Ran could only assign two hundred sword and shield soldiers to make up the number.

The soldiers of the Qin army were only more than ten steps behind the trapped soldiers. This short distance was reached in an instant. As the Dongmen Leopard roared, the Qin soldiers raised their spears and attacked in a horizontal line, just in time with Those Chu sword and shield soldiers who were moving quickly sideways and came specifically to stop them collided with each other!

The sharp spear tip inserted through the gap in the shield, piercing the leather armor of an unlucky Chu man. It penetrated his intestines and broke out of his back, and the blood-stained spear tip penetrated the chest and abdomen of the person behind him again...

Not only the two people holding spears were exerting force, but the three people behind each column were also pushing and pushing. In this way, relying on the length and impact of the chief's spear, Dongmen Leopard and others were like sharp iron cones, and they could not move. After a while, these two hundred Chu soldiers were pierced and defeated...

At this time, the chief's spear was like a candied haws, with two or three people stabbed in it. Some of the people on it were not completely dead and were screaming miserably. But the Qin people could no longer move forward with their spears. The Qin soldiers simply abandoned them, drew out their two-foot swords, howled and continued to charge forward, engaging the enemy at hand-to-hand combat.

If the Chu formation was originally only a small hole opened by the people who trapped it, then now, under the fierce push of the chief's spear, a big hole has been opened. Not to mention that behind Dongmen Bao and the others, there were hundreds of Qin soldiers. Under the command of Hei Fu, they kept fighting in through this hole. For a while, the Chu people only had time to make up for the leaks.

Although they were caught off guard and at least 500 people were rushed away one after another, due to the large number of people, the Chu people were far from being defeated by the entire army. Under Dou Ran's command, they began to counterattack.

First, people from the left and right kept moving to the center, trying to stop the Qin people's advance. In addition, the remaining one hundred archers were finally mobilized. The archers put their arrows on their bowstrings and sprayed showers of arrows towards the array behind the Qin people.

Swish, swish, arrows like hail hailed towards the Qin soldiers in the rear, ten or a hundred. Beside Heifu, many people who were holding up their shields to block arrows for him fell to the ground. Their shouts turned into wailing. Even the copper jacket on his head was hit, making a clanging sound, which startled Heifu. .

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves sounded from the side. Although the Chu people's thirty chariots were not prepared in advance, they were awkwardly stuck among the soldiers and could not get out. They could only be used as command vehicles.

But the one hundred riders were mobile and agile. They had gathered together, came around from the two wings, and stopped dozens of steps away to station their horses. The riders got off their horses one after another, unloaded their bows and crossbows, and shot arrows at the Qin people... …

Zhai Chong, who was behind, braved the rain of arrows and came over and said: "Heifu, there are too many arrows and some of them are unstoppable. Do you want to send people from the left and right wings to disperse them?"

Heifu said: "Just let Xiao Tao lead dozens of crossbowmen to fight back!"

"What if those riders attack us!"

"Aren't you still protecting the left, right and rear?"

Heifu looked intently. The cavalry these days, unless there are too many or one's own side has been defeated, is not worth worrying about. Because this arm is still immature, let alone the cavalry of the Chu State. The horses are short and the riders are not good at riding. They are generally used as reconnaissance cavalry. They cannot even draw a bow on a galloping horse. They must stop, or even Dismounting from the horse and shooting from foot will not play a decisive role at all.

As for the attack? But this is something that even the elite cavalry from the north of Qin State and Shangjun rarely do. Does Chu Qi dare to do it? Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who promoted the assault cavalry, was still a little baby and had not learned to ride a horse!

Besides, at this moment, Heifu no longer cares about his wings and back, and can only look forward!

That's right, rush forward regardless of everything, fighting quickly without understanding! This is the tactic formulated by Heifu. There will be no plans left, and the soldiers are determined to die, so they sharpen their armor and blades, and use their strength to overwhelm the enemy formation!

They are outnumbered and outnumbered. They cannot compete with the enemy in terms of numbers or endurance, but in terms of momentum. With the momentum of mourning soldiers, they will be strong at one go, weakened at the second, and exhausted at the third time. If they are timid and the momentum of the attack is gone, they will definitely be defeated!

But if the enemy can be penetrated in one breath and the formation is dispersed, this group of Chu people will basically be defeated. Don't expect to be able to gather the soldiers manually like the general in the game. It's simply impossible. The quality of these Chu people is not that high. They were defeated and frightened. After losing their organizational structure, they couldn't even run away, let alone turn around and fight back.

"Rush over!"

So Heifu pointed his sword forward, and after the enemy array had opened a huge hole, he let his two hundred men follow him and kill them in. He didn't care about the arrows that were constantly raining down from above his head, or the probing and harassing people on the left and right. Their cavalry only stared ahead at Dou Ran's horse, which was only twenty steps away and was caught in the chaotic formation of the Chu people.

"Just rush all the way and give Chu people a centerpiece to bloom!"

At the same time, as if God was helping Heifu, a huge cry of killing also sounded from behind the Chu army's array!
