Chapter 69 Li Xin
The frightened birds flying high in the forest were because there were ambushers; the enemy beat the drums to seize the energy of our side and make the soldiers shocked. However, the phoenix flag of King Jing suddenly appeared in the dense forest. Not to mention the soldiers, even the generals were scared.
‘The king carried the Dachang, the princes carried the flags, the officials carried the flags, the troops carried the capital, the township carried the goods, the suburbs carried the flags, and the officials carried the flags, and each wrote the matter with the name of the name.’ Status corresponded to the flags, and the flags required a letter of the flags, so that they correspond to individuals. In other words, wherever the flags arrived, the people came. When the Ying army saw the flags arrived, they knew that Li Xin was coming. When Li Xin and others saw the phoenix flags arrived, they knew that it was the King of Chu.
The mountains were undulating and the forests were deep. The King of Chu suddenly appeared here. The Chu army must have been here. How can this make people not fear? The soldiers were still frightened when they saw the phoenix flag. Hundreds of generals, five hundred masters, two or five hundred masters, military academy, and commander, these people were already at a loss. Next to the Xia Dao was bushes, and the bushes were dense forests, and the phoenix flag appeared at the end of the bushes three miles away. The distance was so close, how could they respond? Even if Wu'an Jun reborn, this situation could not be adapted.
The generals were worried, and Li Xinze was as if he was struck by lightning, murmured silently, and his behavior was inappropriate. He could not believe that the Chu army could emerge from the depths of the dense forest. But the Chu army was appearing in groups from the depths of the dense forest. They pushed down most of the bushes that had been sawed off, and amid the drums, they joined the array one by one, listing the square formations that made all the Qin soldiers frightened.
The phoenix flag fluttered high, and the three-headed colorful phoenix embroidered on the flag had more stains and blood than when Li Xin first saw it in Chencheng, ten years ago, but the arrogance of looking down on the world has never changed. Under the proud phoenix flag, four in front of one in and one behind, five spear storm formations were taking shape one after another. Sima Ji waved the drum at this time, and the Qin army also began to beat the drum.
"What King Jing does is a general." Sima Ji said silently. The Chu army did not appear in Xianghe Pass or Daoyi, but appeared here, obviously they came prepared. They did not ambush the front army, the rear army, or the baggage, but the ambush the center's shogunate, which was self-evident. This was to kill Li Xin so that the entire army would be in chaos.
"So what?" The spear formation formed very quickly. Li Xin seemed to blink his eyes and the five square formations began to advance forward.
"The general should guard the military affairs and wait for assistance, and all the troops in front and behind can be rescued!" Seeing the square formation coming towards him, Sima Ji's expression changed slightly.
"It's not enough!" The Qin army's reaction was not slow. Before the drum sounded, Li Xin's four thousand soldiers began to line up against the Chu army. "The Jing people's spear formation is invincible, and our army cannot defend." Li Xin sighed and shook his head, and soon he asked again: "Where is Wang Yi?"
Li Xin shouted loudly to Wang Yi, and Wang Yi was in the queue of the shogunate. Li Xin shouted twice before he woke up and rushed to the carriage where Li Xin was riding.
"It is necessary to hand over this book to the king!" After spending one night and half a morning, Li Xin wrote this book. He wanted to set up camp before ordering people to Xianyang, but it seemed that he would never have to set up camp again.
"With the last general..." Wang Yi was not very clear about Li Xin's meaning. Is the general asking him to escape first?
"Ride on the horse and leave here quickly!" Li Xin ordered Wang Yi to leave immediately without any hesitation.
"The last general, the last general, Jingnuo!" The Qin army's array began to be in chaos at this time. The hundred generals and the five hundred commanded the soldiers on both ends to quickly rescue the shogunate. They rushed to fight and chased each other, without any order. Wang Yi was a little disgraceful, and he didn't want to die here.
"Book!" Wang Yi left after bowing and bowing, and was anxious to forget to take the letter from Li Xin's hand. After Li Xin drank, he took it back guiltily. After bowing respectfully, he left calmly.
The marching formations of more than ten miles long were all in chaos. Although the Qin soldiers at both ends were trying their best to run to the location where the flags were located, the road was narrow, and the bushes next to the road could not be cut off with the soft iron sword they were wearing, and almost all the soldiers were blocked on the road. In the south, the Qin soldiers in the north wanted to cross the Xiangshui River, so some people wade directly without going through the bridge. Unfortunately, they just wade through the bridge. After getting ashore, the road was still crowded and everyone wanted to move forward, but everyone was squeezed together.
After Wang Yi got on the horse, he did not walk on the road or walk on the bushes beside the road, but rode his horse into the Xiangshui River. He led a few cavalrymen upstream and went straight to Xianghe Pass. Li Xin's eyes kept looking at him, and when he disappeared, he turned around and looked at the attacking Chu army.
The distance between the three miles sounds very far, but in fact it is only nine hundred steps. Even if the Chu army advances with regular steps, it will only take more than twenty minutes. At this time, the Chu army is marching forward. Half a quarter of an hour has passed, and they are already five hundred steps away. At this time, the Qin army is still in the array, and the array protecting the shogunate is getting thicker and wider;
After another half a quarter of an hour passed, the Chu army was already two hundred steps away, and the Qin army's array was barely arranged. Although it was as thick as a hundred lines, it was still not wide and could not protect the entire shogunate. It only blocked the enemies attacked from the southwest. Then it was very crowded, with no clear ranks in some places, and the crowded soldiers had no room to display their weapons.
There was no third and a half quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, a commander shouted "Shoot!" in the hasty military formation of Qin army. Countless crossbow arrows shot out. At this time, the Chu army was within fifty steps, and the long spear was being held high above their heads. Unfortunately, many of these crossbow arrows did not fly forty steps, and began to fall in more than thirty steps. Even if some flew forty steps away, they did not penetrate the huge armor on the front row of the Chu army.
"Ah——, Ah———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Due to the terrain, the Chu army could not line up next to the column, but the soldiers of the same column followed the comrade in front and walked through the bushes with his footprints. The first spearman in the front should choose a path and try to get close to other columns before sprinting.
About forty steps away from the Qin formation, Xiong Jing shouted with all the soldiers. Then he held up his spear and jumped quickly and ran quickly. When he advanced to more than twenty steps, the second round of crossbow arrows of the Qin army were shot out. This time the arrow was not lost due to rain, and all the arrows were hit on the armor.
With the bow power of a single-arm crossbow, the Qin army should have shot through the huge armor at about ten steps, but if the spearmen were placed nearly ten steps before firing, the Qin army's chief spearmen in the front row would definitely not have time to raise the spears. They could only shoot crossbow arrows at more than twenty steps, and then the chief spearmen quickly stepped forward from the gap in the crossbowmen's queue to resist the unstoppable impact of the enemy.
Although the spear was long, the spearmen of the Chu army did not hold the end of the spear, but held the end of the spear tightly. This method of grip was almost the same as the length of the chief spear held by the Qin army, who were used to holding the end of the wooden spear. This is why the Qin army did not use the chief spear but only used the chief spear.
The Chu army did not care whether the barbarian spear was several feet longer than the chief spear. The most important thing to do to rush the spear was to suppress the spear, and to suppress the weapons in the opponent's hands. This action was often practiced by the Chu army's spearmen, and Xiong Jing also practiced it frequently. He was facing the Qin army's spearmen, obviously an old soldier. He was prepared for the Chu army's spear when rushing the spear. When he saw the enemy rushing toward the spear, he raised it high and did not allow the other party to suppress the spear.
Seeing that his chief spear was raised, Xiong Jing had already given up his idea of suppressing the spear. The barbarian spear he was holding was suddenly put down quickly. He shouted angrily. The spear tip was stabbed on the leather armor on Qin Zuo’s chest along the forward rushing momentum. The leather armor was not iron armor, and was instantly pierced by the spear tip. At this time, the chief spear tip held high fell down and hit Xiong Jing’s shoulder armor.
He didn't have time to experience the feeling of the spear tip piercing people through, nor did he care whether the other party's chief spear caused harm to him. While breathing, Xiong Jing pulled out his own barbarian spear and quickly retreated to the right side of his spear formation. He stabbed him to death so that the Qin soldiers had not fallen yet, and Zhuang Quji behind him stabbed the Qin soldiers behind him with a spear at a faster speed. The place where he stabbed him was very special, which was the Qin soldiers' eyes.
Under the impact of the spearmen, the Qin army array seemed to be retreating, but after careful observation, the Qin army did not retreat at all, but the array was being eroded layer by layer by layer by layer. Although the Qin army array was thick, it could not resist such peeling. However, after the front row of soldiers fell down, the next Chu army spearmen rushed over, and the rear was inexperienced. The more panicked Qin soldiers could only watch the prickling spears, without any resistance. Under the protection of the Jujia, it was a luxury for them to die together.
The Chu army stepped on the body of Qin soldiers and rushed to the spear. Qin soldiers shouted in panic, retreating repeatedly and being held back by their companions behind him. When Xiong Jing, who was standing at the end of the formation, was standing in front of the formation and preparing to fight the spear, the constantly collapsed Qin army array suddenly fell down. These were not a few, a few rows of Qin soldiers fell down, and the remaining more than forty rows fell down like the millet seedlings in the field behind the strong wind. His own people were pressing against his own people, and the Chu soldiers who rushed up with the spear stepped on the Qin soldiers who could not get up and rushed directly to the back of the formation.
The Qin people broke up in such an unexpected way, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Seeing this scene, the soldiers shouted loudly again and rushed towards the flag inserted in the carriage behind the Qin formation. The Qin soldiers lying on the ground struggled to get up to protect Li Xin. This effort was in vain and they could not get up at all. The short soldiers near the carriage had no chief spear but only halberds. When the Chu soldiers, who were full of murderous aura and covered in blood, rushed towards them with their spears, their thin array could not be stopped at all.
"Kill Li Xin! Kill Li Xin! Kill Li Xin..." Someone shouted, and then more than 10,000 people in the army shouted at the same time. This shout made the Chu soldiers excited and made the Qin soldiers tremble. As the Chu soldiers at the front exclaimed, a bloody head was raised high by the barbarian spear, and then swayed in the mid-air full of rain. The top of the carriage was tied with a tail, and the flags with colorful feathers gathered on the shaft were also pulled out by the Chu soldiers and waved in the air.
