Chapter 664: Who dares to take the sword and get out of the way?

Zhao Wujiu's inference is not wrong. Qin Lei is indeed waiting for reinforcements and materials to gather, preparing to launch a second battle after the rainy season.

By mid-June, Hulao Pass and its western joint camp were thirty miles away, densely packed with flags covering the sun, food, grass and weapons piled up like mountains, gathering four entire Qin army, 670,000 troops and 400,000 civilians, known as a million troops.

In the Guandu camp east of Hulaoguan, 800,000 Qi troops and more than 400,000 civilians have gathered, and the troops are even more powerful than the Qin army. Of course, the quality is incomparable... It was originally recognized that one Qin army was the leader of two Qi armies, but now the strength is rising and falling, and the gap can only grow bigger and bigger.

At this point, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

On June 27, the seventh year of Tianyou, it was auspicious day for the eclipse of the zodiac. Qin Lei finally sent Chu Qianjun as the vanguard on the left, leading 20,000 horse and infantry troops to capture Sishui. Boshang Saiyang was also sent as the vanguard on the right, leading 40,000 cavalrymen to capture Xingyang and Zhongmu, and made an attempt to seize the key points on the south bank of the Yellow River to ensure the main force crossing the river.

After a little resistance, the Qi army took the initiative to shrink, and acted like a turtle hunched, and even generously gave up the road to the north to the Yellow River.

Qin Lei knew in his heart that although the tiger in Qi State could not leave the cave, as long as he dared to cross the river, Zhao Wujiu would dare to seize his own way of retreat. Think about the battle in the late Zhaowu year, this old madman could do anything!

In order to take the initiative and win the first battle, he personally led the First Second Army out of Hulao Pass east. He first led his troops to Zhongmu, and then acted as if he went south to attack Xuchang. Zhao Wujiu had to reflect... Although he could ignore the safety of Hebei, Xuchang must not be lost, because most of the current food and supplies in Qi State had to be transported from Nanchu to Xuchang by Yingshui, and then transported to Guandu. Although Zhao Wujiu stationed a 50,000 army in Xuchang, once there was any mistake, the army immediately fell into a food shortage crisis, so he had to save it.

However, Zhao Wujiu also adopted the method of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. He did not directly reinforce Xuchang City, which had high walls and thick walls and sufficient soldiers and food. Instead, he sent 50,000 troops to attack Xingyang City, and even wanted to cut off Qin Lei's retreat.

Prince Yong, who was responsible for guarding Hulao Pass, sent a division to support Xingyang City when he saw this. As a result, he was attacked by Qi's light cavalry halfway. The Qin army rushed to fight. The commander of the leader was injured by a trap, and more than 3,000 people were lost. He returned in defeat. The Qi army won the first battle.

After receiving the report, Qin Li was furious and personally ordered the Longxiang cavalry in his headquarters to attack, looking for the main force of the Qi army to fight. After discovering that the Qi army's light cavalry was heading east, he led his army to pursue the Yellow River and fell into the Qi army ambush 80 miles west of Guandu. At that time, Qin Li had only 20,000 cavalry, and the Qi army reached tens of thousands of thousands. The Qin soldiers all showed fear on their faces, and Emperor Zhang was at a loss, but Prince Yong was not afraid. He pointed at the Qi soldiers all over the mountains and fields with a horse whip and laughed loudly: "A group of mobs is just a group of mobs. In the eyes of the Lone King, who is like a native chicken, tiles and dogs. If you put a sign on the head, you dare to follow me to kill seven in and seven out, so that they can see what it means to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!"

The soldiers were infected by Qin Li's heroic spirit and laughed loudly. After laughing, they followed the prince to sprint southeastward... This was not the weak link of the Qin army formation. On the contrary, there was a sky blue tassel battle flag erected with the six big words "General Guarding the Country" written on it, which was the central army of Qi.

This Qi army was led by Wu Zhilong, and was specifically responsible for luring snakes out of the cave and dragging Qin Li, the second-ranked figure in the Qin army, Prince Yong.

Wu Zhilong knew very well that it was a fool to defeat the Qin army in the cavalry hedge. Therefore, he was equipped with a large number of spears and crossbows. In order to increase the lethality, he also ordered people to apply poison made by Caotouwu on his weapon, and he must make one blow to make the opponent lose his combat power... Of course, he was still a little inadequate when the Qin army rushed towards him from the beginning, so he quickly ordered the central army to line up to defend and call for the two wings to support from the side. The formation was disrupted as soon as it came up.

This is also a very depressing thing. According to his experience summarized by Teacher Zhao, the Qin cavalry would attack from the flank nine times in ten times, causing the opponent's formation to be in chaos and could not take into account both the head and tail. Then, depending on the situation, they either turned to the central army or escaped from the enemy formation.

Student Wu was prepared for this. Not only did he send heavy troops to protect his wings, he also carefully designed a series of traps. He dared to guarantee that as long as the Qin army broke through his flank, there would be no return, but... why is it the middle lane this time?

In fact, there is no inevitable statement on the battlefield. Qin Li chased for eighty miles and then crashed into an ambush circle. The anger in his heart can be imagined. In a rage, he decided not to be rigid and to change the breakthrough point and use the central breakthrough tactics to attack the Qi Central Army in order to achieve the effect of a full-scale defeat, because this is how happy it is and how to relieve his hatred!

Xiao Wu only cares about learning from the teacher's advanced experience, but ignores that humans are emotional animals. It can be seen that mechanical copying is harmful and useless...

The Qin army's thousand cavalry swept the flat roof and immediately approached the Qi army. Qin Li finally saw the Qi army's formation clearly. Looking at the strict formation, the stringent swords and guns, and the dense crossbows, he finally understood that the visitor was not good. But he did not turn back the arrow. It was just that your crossbow was fierce, or my elite cavalry was strong!

His strong confidence comes from strong capital. As the second most powerful cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, the Longxiang Army received generous allocations from the commander, and all replaced them with Persian high-headed war horses. The full-body protection is only two-thirds of the weight, but the defense is increased by a full double. Even the iron spear during the charge is the latest and best version, which is absolutely armed to the teeth, and its impact is even stronger than that of ordinary armored heavy cavalry. How could it be a mere infantry that can withstand it?

The rain of arrows in the sky did not slow down the speed of the Longxiang Qi army's assault. Accompanied by the sound of killing, the two armies collided with loud shouts and a terrible fight began. As he expected, although the Qi army was in a very strict formation and the weapons were poisonous, it still could not resist the most powerful impact of the Longxiang cavalry. Wherever the Qin cavalry passed, the Qi army's infantry fell to the ground like crops, screaming and screaming. The inferior spear in the Qi army's hands could not even pierce the quilt of the Qin army's war horses!

Qin Li led the way, waving the huge Fangtian painting halberd, and surrounded by his personal guards, rushed into the Qi army first. Seeing that the boss was the first to go up and chop people, the Qin army brothers all fought for the first place and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Almost in one encounter, they killed the Qi army and fled backwards with their arms and armor.

Qin Li was overjoyed when he saw this and urged his troops to chase the enemy. However, his pursuit did not last long, and he was surprised to find that the more he advanced, the more the enemy troops were, and he was definitely not like fleeing soldiers... Because they were wearing the rare pure iron armor of the Qi army, the weapons in their hands were no longer cheap goods at the beginning, but were replaced with sharp iron spears and powerful crossbows.

‘I was fooled!’ Qin Li was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat and almost screamed.

He looked back and found that at some point, he had already distanced himself from the large army behind him, with only five or six hundred cavalry following him closely, and the rest of the troops were blocked by the Qi army.

Teacher Zhao, Xiaowu's classmate, once said that Prince Yong of Qin was a violent temper who loved to carry the courage of an ordinary man and liked to charge forward. As soon as he saw the other party rushing towards him, Wu Zhilong called on his wings to gather behind the central army formation to form a large pocket, waiting for Qin Li to fall into the trap.

Fortunately, the teacher did not lie to him this time.

Prince Yong Qin Li was trapped in the biggest crisis of his life. He was surrounded by dozens of times, and even with wings, he could not fly out!

At this time, his large army was outside the encirclement, but because the commander was surrounded, the officers and soldiers were at a loss for a moment and could not get rid of the Qi army's encirclement.

Qin Li was already in an extremely dangerous situation. He went deep into the enemy's territory and became the target of public criticism. The Qi army had surrounded him, waiting to seek credit for rewards.

In a critical moment, Qin Li showed what it means to "only the sea is flowing, and only then can he show his true nature." He knew that he could not place hope on others, he could only save himself!

The real kung fu that he had been practicing for many years finally came in handy! He was like a beast trapped in a trap, with hundreds of cavalry around him, fighting to death in the airtight enemy formation, waving Fang Tian's painting halberd like crazy, but seeing the blood and limbs around him scattered, there was no enemy under his command!

The personal guards of the royal palace beside him were also extraordinary. They used all their strength to use their weapons to cut and thrust them, so as not to give the enemy a chance to get close. The troops on the other side also fought desperately forward, wanting to break the siege and meet with the prince again.

However, Wu Zhilong finally created the current situation. Even if the central army was completely destroyed, the Qin army would not succeed! Moreover, the two armies are entangled, and there is no room for charge. The cavalry of Qin has lost its maneuverability and can no longer cut melons and vegetables like the beginning, as if they were entering a no-man.

It is said that if there are too many ants, the elephant will be killed, and even a tiger will not be able to withstand the wolves. Qin Li has fewer and fewer personal soldiers, and he has also hung many colors in many places. The blood dyed his armor red, and the war horses have long fallen to the ground. He leaned on Fang Tian Huaji with one hand and gasped heavily.

Looking at the enemy troops around him with excitement, Qin Li wiped his bloody face randomly, and roared wildly: "Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!" The remaining soldiers around him howled in unison after hearing this: "Don't run dry, and you will never stop fighting!"

The Qi army, who had already broken through eight or nine feet away, also heard it and responded in the loudest voice: "Don't run dry, fight to the death!" The sound shook the sky, like thunder, as if it was poured into the Qin army a dose of spiritual medicine to boost the morale, which made their already a little depressed morale rise again!

Qin Li felt full of strength again, laughed wildly, twisted the iron handle of the animation halberd with his arms, and actually divided the six feet long and sixty pounds of cavalry into an eight-foot-long sharp short spear and an eight-foot-long short iron spear. He held these two killing weapons in both hands and fought with the enemies who came from all directions. But seeing him fighting like a dragon in the wild, he danced two weapons to the meteors to the moon, and the white rainbow penetrated the sun, killing the Qi army sobbing and howling, and the clouds were bleak, and he could not do anything to him.

As he was about to lead his subordinates to break through the encirclement, Qin Li was not careful and was wrapped in the reins of a dead horse. He was about to catch up with his body moving forward. He couldn't help but mix garlic under his feet and fell to the ground... It didn't matter if this fall, but he completely separated from his subordinates.

The Qi army soldier was overjoyed and immediately raised his spear and stabbed him. Qin Li was thrown into a dilemma and his dantian was empty. It was the time when the thief was about to die. He could not react at all. He had to smile bitterly and wait for the feeling of the cold spear pier to pierce into his body.

At this moment, when the thunder sounded on the ground, a black shadow flew straight from a distance, and in the blink of an eye it hit the Qi army formation. As long as the Qi soldiers were caught onto the fast-flying object, half of their bodies were cut off without even screaming, and the remaining half was pulled away. Anyone who was hit was without exception. But seeing the originally dense formation, like a snow pile poked by a fiery red strip, suddenly cleared out a straight passage...

The loud noises were one after another, and those deadly straight trajectories were becoming more and more. The originally neat military formation was plowed into ditches, which completely caused the panic of the Qi army. They threw away their weapons, shouted and ran away in scattered, fearing that half of their bodies were pulled away by the mysterious loud noise... The fear of the unknown even made them ignore the Qin King of Qi who had obtained and let his personal soldiers rescue him.

But when the Qin army heard it, they were as if they heard the fairy voice, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here!"

As soon as the shouts came, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the other side. But when a white horse general with white robes and silver armor led thousands of cavalry to come from the closest place to Qinli, he arrived in a moment.

This will lead the leader to be handsome and has no beard-faced. He is a real white-faced boy, but the eighty-pound caltrop bone in his hand clearly tells everyone what it means to be 'A person should not behave like a person, and the sea water should not be measured!'

But as soon as the general caught the enemy, he seemed to have a tiger entering a flock of sheep and started killing wildly. He had no enemies under his command. In addition, the good things of the Qi army were interrupted and he was no longer interested in fighting. He actually let him get rid of it in a few seconds and rushed to Qin Li. Then he turned over and dismounted and bowed, "Don't save the emperor too late, which made the prince frightened."

"Haha, it's okay." Prince Yong, covered in blood, wiped his face and said, "Don't look at the Lone King covered in blood, in fact, they are all enemies. I have nothing to do." Eight or nine feather arrows were inserted on his back and shoulders, but the duck was still being cooked. After saying that, he felt that he was a little worried about his face, so he coughed a few times and said, "What's your name? Which part is it?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, don't defeat Chu Qianjun, the deputy commander of the Third Division of the Second Army of the Guarding Country, and was ordered to station in Sishui Pass. Wang Shuai handed over the task to the last general." This young lieutenant colonel was Chu Qianjun, who was more famous than Bo Shang Saiyang at that time. However, Bo Shang Saiyang made a show of the limelight in the Battle of Hangu Pass eight years ago, and made great achievements. He had long been promoted to the deputy commander of the major general of the Second Army. He was his immediate superior. How could this make the "seemingly depressed but actually depressed" General Chu feel?

Therefore, he was very excited in this battle, wanted to show off his skills, change his low-key style, and actively asked the prince for a fight. Qin Lei knew the temper of this tiger general, and knew that he was not convinced, so he agreed readily and asked him to use his deputy to replace him as a reorganizer to play the vanguard.

Strictly abide by the commander's orders. Once he saw a large army attacking at Hulao Pass, he gave up Sishui City and led his army to follow him, waiting for an opportunity to rescue him. But this time they faced an enemy of Yum Sheng Gong..., the great disciple of the open mountain gate, Wu Zhilong, known as the master of military tactics. This man claimed to be a god of military use and was superb, which was enough to knock everyone out.

Sure enough, after the dazzling array transformation of Qi army, he found that he had lost Prince Yong. This was a great deal. If he didn't find anyone, it would be possible that he would not only fail to make a contribution this time, but also go to the military court.

When he found Qin Li's location, Prince Yong had been surrounded by layers. When he led his army around the enemy's encirclement and was about to break in from the weakest southwest direction, Qin Li had been pulled off his horse and beaten up. Seeing that the situation was extremely urgent, Chu Qianjun ordered people to add up the ten Folang machines he carried with the army and shoot flat in the enemy's formation.

"Sir, the distance is too close, and it will accidentally hurt Prince Yong!" the gunner said worriedly.

"This is just a dead horse, and you still have to care about so much?" Chu Qianjun said angrily: "Want, if something happens, it's my fault. What's the matter?"

Since the lord said this, brothers are not polite. The Qi army, who had never seen a cannon, was in chaos after a few shots, and General Chu took advantage of the situation!

Seeing that the prince was in desperate situation, Qin's morale was greatly boosted and he began to chase Qi Jun, who was unwilling to fight, and he had to let out a good vent!

At this time, Wu Zhilong, who was commanding in the distance, was furious. He did not expect that the trap he had tried his best to design would fall into such a situation where he could not lose a lot of rice. This made the classmate Wu, who was very considerate, feel... how could he bear it?

Just as he was about to go crazy and ordered the fish to break the death, the strategist beside him whispered, "The big plan is the most important!" This made Wu Zhilong free from his rage. He angrily ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, left behind more than 20,000 soldiers who were killed and injured, and went south twenty miles away to reorganize.

Qin Li also suffered more than 6,000 elite cavalry casualties, which were heavy losses and had no power to fight for the moment. After catching up, he joined Chu Qianjun's troops and headed towards Xingyang, Nantou.

In fact, the troops led by these two No. 2 characters can only become partial divisions at best. Where are the real bosses and the real main force?

At this time, Duke Yum had already carried 600,000 troops against the current with more than 2,000 large and small ships from Qi and Chu countries.

Qin Lei's main force is still in the Xuchang area a hundred miles away. It takes at least three days from getting the news to rushing back!

At this moment, the head and deputy commanders of the Qin army were not in Hulao Pass, and the Qin army's retreat was in a great crisis.

The experienced Yum Shenggong exchanged time for space and finally created this fleeting opportunity, and of course he would not miss it. He led his army to land from the Sishui Ferry and headed straight to Hulao Pass twenty miles away.

Facing the Qi army that fell from the sky, the Qin people who remained behind were shocked and threw down their baggage and fled in all directions.

Relying on the majesty of Yumenggong, the Qi army did not snatch supplies, but continued to march towards the fuse of the war, Hulao Xiongguan.

When the Qi army arrived at the gates, it was already early morning on the first day of the July 1st. In order to save time, Yum Sheng ordered a fire to light up and attack the city overnight!

Facing the overwhelming invading Qi army, the Qin cavalry inside the pass were not afraid and attacked fiercely, but they were like rivers rushing into the sea. No matter how surging, they would disappear in a blink of an eye.

The Qin army on the city used bows and arrows and stone throwing tools to shoot the Qi army. The Qi army, which is known as the best in the world of military weapons, is naturally not outdone. In addition to hundreds of conventional stone casting cars, they took out the ten most powerful cannon stone thunderbolt chariots. This car weighs more than 4,000 kilograms and requires one hundred strong men to launch. Each launch can throw more than 200 kilograms of huge rocks onto the top of the city. Only its broken stones can destroy all the Qin army's defending equipment and injure people.

The two sides fought from black to white, and from white to black, and fought for a whole day. Although the Qi army's offensive was higher and higher, the Qin army resisted desperately and made a concession, and even barely defended the city wall. Both sides were exhausted and finally rested and waited for another battle to come tomorrow.

In the early morning of the second day of July, Zhao Wujiu sent the most powerful Yum Army to take a small road from the southeast to the foot of Songshan Mountain. He found a hidden deep and hidden hole according to the map.

This is a tunnel that Qi State secretly dug ten years ago. It was set up by Zhao Wujiu to regain Hulao Pass that he deliberately gave up in the last battle. However, he later caught Emperor Zhaowu in the great fortune, so he did not use this secret passage.

Fortunately, although Yum Shenggong was old, he still had a good memory. Since the fall of Hulao Pass again, he naturally thought of this secret passage and tried his best to transfer the Qin army to a certain period of time, because he was confident that in just one or two days, he could regain Hulao Pass and completely reverse the unfavorable situation!

But I didn't expect that the Qin army was so easy to mobilize...

However, when you think about the desperate resistance you encountered at Hulao Pass, it is obvious that if you attack the city on a regular basis, you will not be able to get out of ten or eight days without ten or eight days.

Qin Lei must have been extremely confident in his city defense, so he deliberately revealed his flaws and asked you to fall into the trap and want to make his own dumplings.

But this kid forgot that ginger is still so spicy. I, Yum, kept a hand when you were still breastfeeding, and didn't care about him.

Stealing a chicken will not lose rice...
