General Qin

"That Qiang Yan was in vain a veteran of Wang Jian's camp. I thought he had some ability, but I didn't expect him to be a mediocre person."

"A few words engraved on the wood made him lose his temper. He chased a thousand soldiers from our side and ignored the food team behind him. He was really stupid. This way, he hit my brother A clever plan! Hahaha!"

When the news came back that Qin general "Qiang Yan" led the main force to speed up, the young Jing Ju burst out laughing.

Jing Tong didn't lose his composure like his younger brother, he just smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.

"Qiang Li is a barbarian, and it is normal for him to be insulted and angry. It can only be said that Wang Jian appointed this person as the general, which is a big mistake."

Jing Tong didn't become suspicious, after all, he saw with his own eyes how Zuo Sima became so angry under Zhao Tuo's plan, and finally lost his mind.

With Zhaoping's case first, Qiang's behavior of looking ahead and neglecting the future seems quite normal.

Even after Jing Tong knew that Qiang Li had fallen for this trick, he couldn't help feeling complacent.

What Zhao Tuo did back then, Jingtong can also do.

It turned out to be so simple to win a big victory.

Jing Tong turned his head and said to his younger brother: "Ju, take five hundred people away. When the distance between the main force of Qiang Li and its grain team exceeds twenty miles, go between the two, find a place that is good for defense, and destroy the enemy. Road, set up roadblocks, and bring these five hundred people to garrison there."

"After I led the army to defeat the Qin army's food transport troops, there must be messengers and rout troops forward to send messages to Qiang. At that time, you will kill one by one, and you can wait for a while."

"As long as Qiang Li has no time to return to the rear, I can wipe out all his food transport troops, not only burn his food, but also wipe out all the five thousand Qin troops!"

Jing Tong's voice was decisive. In fact, if he only wanted to burn the Qin army's food, he would not have made all kinds of complicated arrangements. Mainly in his heart, he still wanted to wipe out all the Qin army escorting the food in one go.

If one more Qin person is killed, they will counterattack in the future and face one less enemy when restoring the country.

Jing Ju was overwhelmed by his brother's words, and he immediately bowed his hands and promised: "Jing Ju will definitely block the road and prevent that Qiang Lei from coming back to help!"

Looking at the back of Jing Ju excitedly going down to order troops, Jing Tong's face is full of confidence.

Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "After the food and grass are burned out, I will lead the troops to retreat first, and then use scouts to closely monitor the Qin army of the Qiang Li tribe."

"The army is short of food, even if it doesn't collapse on the spot, it will definitely lose morale, and the soldiers will lose their fighting spirit. At that time, I will lead the elite soldiers to attack, and I may not be able to destroy the tens of thousands of Qin army divisions in one battle, and capture and kill the Qin general. Qiang and return!"

"It's the first time for me, Jing Tong, to lead the army. If I can win this battle with less and defeat tens of thousands of Qin troops, my achievements will never be lower than that of Zhao Tuo's Battle of Surabaya!"

"Qiang Yan, hehehe."

...

On the road from Dongyang to Huaiyin, there is a long snake-like team of 10,000 people slowly moving forward.

Thousands of them were silent civilian husbands and assistants in coarse cloth and short clothes.

They led the oxen and horses, and drove the vehicle forward slowly. The vehicle was filled with bulging sacks, which should be the food that the Qin army ate. In addition, a lot of grass straws were stuffed, which is the feed for cattle and horses, and it is also a necessity for marching and fighting.

Every few steps between these cattle, horses and vehicles full of grain, there are black-armored Qin soldiers carrying spears or holding swords and shields to guard them.

Among the 10,000 people, 5,000 were fully armed soldiers of the Qin army.

They escorted the vehicle, moving forward very slowly.

In the middle of the convoy, there was a gorgeously decorated chariot surrounded by a group of black armored Qin soldiers. Standing in the car was a majestic and mighty general of the Qin Dynasty wearing a crown on his head. He turned his head and looked around from time to time. It seemed that he was the general in charge of commanding the Qin army.

Further back, there are several covered wagons that appear to be loaded with important items.

In one of the carriages, several people were crowded.

"Lieutenant Meng, the general has sent a messenger to say that he has found traces of the Chu army ahead. I think the other party is going to use a trick to attack us. I am afraid that they are about to attack us."

In the carriage, Zhong Limei said in a low voice.

Since Zhong Limei was promoted to the fifth doctor, his former position is no longer suitable for him. How can a high-ranking person at the level of five doctors be a short-handed general?

It is not in line with the Qin system to be under the command of a low-ranking person. Therefore, Zhao Tuo sent him to Meng Tian, ​​a newly formed team, as a military officer.

It was quite a challenge for Zhong Limei to suddenly rise from a small general with hundreds of soldiers to a military officer in charge of 5,000 people. But Zhao Tuo seemed to believe in his ability, and even actively encouraged him, saying that even a guy with a black butt could be qualified for the post of military marshal, and there was no reason why Zhong Limei couldn't do it. This moved Zhong Limei very much, and he went all the way to help Meng Tian earnestly.

"Well, if the Chu army wants to make a move, it may be in the front two."

Meng Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, the so-called two-way, according to the guide Chen Ying, is a special terrain.

In the section of the two-way road, to the south of the road is a shallow water depression with luxuriant reeds, and to the north of the road is a very large forest. From a distance, a road is divided into two types of terrain, so it is called by the locals It's a dichotomy.

Except for the lowland with luxuriant reeds, the woods in the north of the road are large and dense, which is most suitable for Tibetans, and it is the most likely place to ambush nearby.

"Let the soldiers cheer up, victory or defeat lies here."

"only."

Zhong Liyu got out of the car and ordered the soldiers to be wary.

"General Zhao entrusted me with this task because I want to take the blame and make meritorious service. If I can defeat this Chu army, protect the army rations and kill the enemy captives, at least part of the guilt can be offset."

Meng Tian's voice was low and his eyes flashed with excitement.

This battle is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity for Meng Tian to make contributions and atone for his sins.

...

The season of early summer is the time when the trees are indistinct and grow luxuriantly.

On the north side of this road, weeds grow wildly and the woods are dense. The reeds on the south side of the road are tall and dense, forming a thick screen.

When a person hides in the reeds in the forest, his figure can be well concealed. Unless he observes closely, it is difficult to see if there is someone lurking inside from a distance.

Of course, the premise is that the people hiding inside can tolerate the mosquitoes and flies flying in the dense forest of the swamp.

"Qin Jun is here!"

Jing Tong, who was waiting in the forest, finally got the news he wanted.

Snapped!

Jing slapped his cheek with a slap, and opened his palm to look. In the middle of his palm was a flattened mosquito and a spot of bright red blood.

"Is Qin Jun's blood as red as this?"

"Let's go, prepare to kill all Qin people and avenge our country."

Jing Tong smiled coldly, he was full of confidence in this raid.

At first, he had more than 8,000 people, while the food and grass troops of the Qin Army had only 5,000 military escorts, and the remaining thousands of civilians were useless at all. Disrupting the Qin army's formation and causing even greater chaos became the advantage of the Chu army.

Secondly, the Qin army escorted the food and grass in the formation of a long snake formation, and the troops were very divided. Under the surprise attack, it was difficult to gather and fight in a short period of time, and even the orders of the leading Qin generals could not be conveyed in a panic.

Thirdly, the initiative of the raid is still in their hands. When and where to raid is decided by the Chu army. The Qin army cannot judge, so once attacked, they will be defeated without precaution.

With these three advantages, how can you be invincible?

Half an hour later, in the section of the road where the Chu army was ambushing, the Qin army that was transporting grain and grass finally arrived.

The Chu army did not launch an attack immediately. They waited for the vanguard of the Qin army to pass first, and then saw a Qin army chariot in the middle of the team.

Above, the high-ranking Qin general wearing the crown of 鹖 is still looking forward majestically.

"That's him."

"shoot!"

Just when General Qin's chariot entered the center of the ambush circle, he shouted loudly, and the Chu army ambushing on both sides immediately rushed out.

Especially those crossbowmen of the Chu army, holding the already wound crossbow machine, shot wildly at the Qin general on the chariot!

In an instant, arrows rained down, and General Qin only had time to let out a scream before he was shot like a hedgehog and fell off the car in an instant.

"General Qin is dead!"

"Kill Qin Kou!"

"Zhu Qin!"

Countless Chu people came out from the swamp on the south side and the dense forest on the north side screaming, holding weapons, and came to kill the Qin army team transporting food.

Jing Tong had already walked to another place with a better view, watching the chaotic battle situation in the distance, with a smile on his face.

"Isn't this Qin general too ostentatious? He was shot and killed by our army without even a little defense. In this way, this surprise attack can be regarded as a victory... Hiss..."

Jing Tong's words stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Because he was surprised to see that the situation in the distance was completely different from what he had imagined.

General Qin had already died under the arrow. Those Qin soldiers who should have been frightened by the Chu army's surprise attack were not at a loss.

The front row is a sword shield, the middle is a bronze halberd, and the rear is a spear.

Not only these Qin pawns who seemed to have been prepared for a long time, but also the peasants who should have panicked and fled were even more calm, and one by one they took out hidden weapons from under the grain carried by the cattle and horses.

At the same time, in the carriage, those Qin soldiers who were crouching under the straw poles suddenly lifted their cover and stood up, holding the stringed Qin crossbows in their hands as well.

The arrows flew, and the Chu army who rushed to the front fell down.

Immediately afterwards, those Qin soldiers and "folk husbands" who formed the battle formation fought against the surprise attacking Chu army under the cover of vehicles.

The ambushing Chu soldiers kept pouring out of the forest, and the soldiers of the Qin army and the "citizens" behind the road immediately pressed up from the rear in an orderly manner without being commanded by others, and started fighting with these raiding Chu troops.

On the road, flesh and blood splattered and screams continued.

"It's a trap!"

Jing Tong, who saw this scene from a distance, bit his lip.

His whole body trembled with anger, and he roared: "Isn't Qiang Lu a barbarian? How could there be so many scheming minds, and they used this matter to plot against me instead."

"How can Qiang Li's actions be so similar to Zhao Tuo's?"

"These Qin people are all deceitful people!"

On the road, flesh and blood splattered and screams continued.

In the non-stop bloody battle, the Chu army finally couldn't hold on anymore.

Their chaotic raid formation was not at all the orderly opponents of the Qin pawns approaching in battle formation.

Coupled with the failure of this raid, the morale of the family dropped a lot first, so after more than half an hour, the Chu army first appeared deserters, and then they retreated across the board.

Countless Chu people fled towards the surrounding road like a tide.

"The Chu army has been defeated!"

Meng Tian stood up, raised his arms and shouted.

"Chasing death and chasing north, making meritorious service and worshiping nobles!"

Zhong Limei shouted loudly, commanding the soldiers to start chasing and killing the fleeing Chu army.

"General, the Qin army is here, let's go!"

On the other side, short soldiers shouted wildly in Jing Tong's ear.

The Chu army was defeated, and the soldiers scattered in all directions. Qin Jun began to chase in all directions, and he was about to reach them.

Jing Tong nodded in a daze, but whispered involuntarily: "If I fail this time, Qin Jun will be able to reach Huaiyin smoothly all the way."

"If Huaiyin is not protected, the fight against Qin will surely be defeated!"
