Chapter 476 Battle of Dingtao

Author: big bell

The smoke of war broke out first in Dingtao. Xiang Liang led the army to easily occupy Dingtao. This made Xiang Liang not only unhappy but also frowned. In fact, this victory came too easily. There were not many people who resisted.

It's a bit like taking the initiative to give up Dingtao.

"Xiang Gong, what should we do next? Should we abandon the city immediately?" The deputy general next to him also saw something and suggested worriedly.

Xiang Liang waved his hand and said: "No need for the moment, this is arranged by the young master, and its purpose is unknown. It is best to stay put."

"However, this is obviously Zhang Han's trap. If we are surrounded by them in the city, we will be destroyed."

Xiang Liang's eyebrows were raised, his eyes full of solemnity.

"Let's see how the situation is first. By the way, have you seen the young master's artillery?"

He had clearly seen the power of the red cannon. When the Yingbo sneak attack on Su Jiao was counterattacked by the Qin army's artillery, the Yingbo army suffered heavy losses for a time, but the young master's artillery turned the situation around and defeated the Su Jiao army in one blow.

, and also killed Su Jiao on the spot.

"I saw them. They did not enter Dingtao City, but lurked outside. They must have sensed something and were preparing to inadvertently attack the Qin army."

In fact, this was Li Zhao's arrangement, with the purpose of sneak attack on the Qin army.

"Forget it! Let's prepare for battle. The Qin army must have wanted to kill us in this way, but they underestimated our Chu army. This battle has been put in front of us many times. How have we ever lost?"

Yes, since the Chu uprising, every war has been victorious, which made him look down on the Qin army. He also felt that the Chu army was invincible. Not to mention him, other soldiers also felt that they would win.

Especially whenever a Qin army general threatened to kill them on horseback, they would not survive for three days, and the Qin army was defeated like a mountain. Xiang Liang believed that this was because the Qin army was frightened by their momentum and could not bear it and died.

This made his self-confidence even more overwhelming. Even though he knew he had fallen into the trap of the Qin army, he did not feel depressed at all.

"That's right, our Chu army is so brave that no one can stop it."

The deputy general became very energetic after hearing this.

"Go! Let the brothers have a good night's rest. There may be a fierce battle tomorrow."

The next day, just as they expected, they fell into the trap of the Qin army. At this moment, the dense Qin army surrounded Dingtao, which was completely impenetrable.

Judging from the strength of their troops, they were more than three times larger. The Qin army was going to take down the Chu army in one fell swoop.

Xiang Liang stood on the city wall and looked at everything below the city. Even though he was as strong as he was, he still felt a little frightened. There were so many troops that he couldn't resist at all. However, he was not intimidated and was eager to try.

"Brothers, the Qin army is at the moment, but what should we fear? We are ready to fight and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

"Our Chu army is brave."

Shouted on the city top, everyone responded immediately. Just as Xiang Liang said, the Chu army has gone through hundreds of battles, and many of them defeated the larger with less. They have never lost. The Chu army is invincible, even now.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Morale was once high.

At this moment, the Qin army began to attack. It had no artillery, but the Qin army was able to defeat the six countries, and its weapons were not bad.

Trebuchets threw huge rocks, powerful crossbows broke through walls, and countless arrows came overwhelmingly, making the Chu army unable to lift their heads at all.

"General, why have their combat capabilities become so strong?"

"What are you afraid of? Kill me."

Under the cover of arrow rain, the Qin army began to attack the city. Cloud ladders also moved in, and some people climbed up the city wall.

"kill!"

The morale of both sides was high, and the killing was fierce and brutal.

In the first wave, the Qin army could not succeed for a long time and temporarily retreated. An hour later, the second wave came. This time the number was larger. They were like "little strong" who could not kill them all, and their number increased every time.

This is the tempo to completely defeat Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang also realized that something was wrong, and ordered the Chu army to resist continuously until they could resist, and ordered the Qin army to retreat again. But at this moment, they realized that something was wrong.

The Qin army was not as weak as in every previous battle, nor did it hear the bad news that a general died suddenly. It was as if everything that had happened before had disappeared in Dingtao.

At this moment, he felt that the Qin army was not as unbearable as he imagined, and was even very powerful, so powerful that it would be difficult for them to resist.

"Xiang Gong, what should we do? Our brothers have suffered serious casualties and their morale has plummeted. I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the third wave." The deputy general was covered in dirt by the smoke of the battlefield. He was also exhausted and had no spirit as before.

"How much of the Chu army is left?" Xiang Liang frowned. According to estimates, the Chu army lost at least half of its strength, but the Qin army's strength did not decrease, but increased.

This is completely inconsistent with previous battles.

"There are only 20,000 troops left, and the Qin army seems to be much larger, at least 60,000."

"Sixty thousand?" Xiang Liang was not calm anymore. He was still three times as powerful as himself. How could he win this battle?

"Have you heard that their generals were killed suddenly?"

"I have never heard of it. It seems that this time the generals of the Qin army were not intimidated by the momentum of our Chu army." The deputy general paused for a while and then said, "Mr. Xiang, the statement of being humble, suspicious, and intimidated is a bit forced. I'm afraid someone was helping us before.

."

"Well!"

Xiang Liang turned his head and stared at the Qin army camp three miles away. There seemed to be many more camps there, and more people were stationed there.

"Then who is helping us?"

"I humbly think it's the young master. Only the young master has such weird methods. But why don't you help now? It must be that the young master has encountered difficulties, or the young master is focusing on Julu."

Xiang Liang nodded, this is the only explanation that makes sense at the moment.

"Then the only thing left to do is to defend."

At this moment, Xiang Liang looked a little depressed. The victory in the past few days had gone to his head. He thought that the victory of the Chu army was also the result of heroism, but it seemed that this was not the case at the moment.

He was the one who made a big mistake, and he felt sorry for the Chu army who died in the battle.

And the Qin army has more and more soldiers. Can they still hold it? Will their entire army be annihilated? He sees no hope.

"If I die in battle, you must assist Yu'er, overthrow the violent Qin, and avenge the destruction of our Chu country."

The lieutenant was silent.

Another hour later, the Qin army's third wave of attacks began. They seemed not to want to give the Chu army a chance to breathe, and vowed to defeat the Chu army today.

Four miles away was where the artillery was stationed. At this moment, Meng Yi was leading 250 artillery troops here. Looking at the densely packed Qin army and then at the sluggish Chu army on the wall of Dingtao City, he sighed for a moment.

Facing such a tragic situation, he didn't want to, but Li Zhao's instructions were to kill the Qin army as much as possible and break up their forces so that the pressure on Julu would not be so great.

"General, when are we going to take action? We see that Dingtao cannot be defended."

A centurion asked.

Meng Yi raised his hand and stared in the direction of the Qin army. An attack had been launched there. The number of people was more than double that before, and this time there were more pushing things, which were pushed and moved slowly.

"Artillery, their artillery finally appeared, they must be preparing for a general attack."

"Hey! With three times the strength of the Chu army and artillery, I really think highly of the Chu army."

"Immediately order the artillery to advance two miles and prepare for battle."

"promise!"

In another place, on several highlands of the hill, this was the most suitable commanding height they could find. At this moment, there were five people standing. These five people were all covered with their faces and holding strange instruments in their hands. They were Shanglinyuan.

sniper shooter.

"Boss, it's time to attack!"

"Yeah!" The masked man known as the 'head' nodded and his eyes became sharp.

These five men were lurking in accordance with the young master's instructions, but secretly carried out beheading operations for the Chu army. The sudden death of the Qin army general mentioned by Xiang Liang was exactly the result of their killing.

But they also received the order from the young master not to take action until the Qin army launched a general offensive. Now, it was time to attack.
