Chapter 601 Kill Him Seven Times and Make Him Leave Seven Times! Who Would Go Through the City Gate Like a Serious General?
"Charge! Break the formation! Seize the city gate at all costs!"
"Our troops will intercept the enemy reinforcements, and you guys should kill the gate guards quickly!"
"Hahaha~ The credit for being the first to reach the city should go to us!"
Tu Sui's rear troops fought bravely.
The Qin-Qi coalition army shouted wildly.
Under their momentum, the gate guards of Wengcheng, whose formation had been broken up by the Chu army's fleeing soldiers, could not stop them at all and collapsed at the first touch!
On the wall of Wengcheng, a group of Chu army generals could not help but shout: "Cheers! Great!"
"The Qin-Qi coalition army finally broke in!"
"How can we advance in a square formation like this? A cone formation! Only a cone formation can break through faster!"
If others saw them, they would not be able to tell whether they were Chu army generals or Qin-Qi coalition generals.
But it was not their fault.
For the ultimate goal, the Chu army had thrown out the lives of more than 70,000 soldiers as bait.
Now, they finally saw the hope of a strategic formation.
How could they not be happy!
Even Xiang Yan finally showed a sincere smile: "Order!"
"Captain Xiong left his crossbowmen to aim at the unmanned places in the city, and the archers used soft bows to shoot the enemy soldiers."
"Deputy General Qu Huan held out for half a quarter of an hour, then pretended to be defeated and ran away!"
"All the troops in the city should control their troops and horses, and do not alert the enemy."
"Tonight is the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!"
All the Chu army generals bowed their hands together: "Yes!"
One by one, the crossbow arrows flew out.
The bowstrings exploded and the arrows rubbed against each other, making a loud noise.
But all these crossbow arrows fell into the unmanned places in the city.
One by one, the bows and arrows floated out of the bowstrings.
The already weak force finally hit the generals of the Qin-Qi coalition who were wearing heavy armor or leather armor. Unless they were lucky, they could not even penetrate the opponent's armor.
For a while, the Chu army created a 4D war movie for the Qin-Qi coalition army, with extremely realistic sound, light effects, smell, and body sensation.
But only five or six soldiers of the Qin-Qi coalition army were actually killed!
All this made the soldiers in Tu Sui's rear more excited:
"Don't be afraid, comrades, the night is dark, the enemy can't see our army clearly, and the crossbows can't shoot our army!"
"My Great Qi gathers the world's literary energy, and the commander is the reincarnation of Zhu Rong, who can communicate with ghosts and gods. God is on me! God bless our army!"
"Make a fortune today!"
In Qu Huan's expectant eyes, Tu Sui's rear speed is getting faster and faster, and it is about to engage in battle with Qu Huan's troops guarding the city gate.
Next, as long as Qu Huan persists for a period of time and pretends to be defeated and retreats, the gate of Xia Pi City will be completely open to the Qin-Qi coalition army.
The Qin-Qi coalition forces will certainly pour into Xiapi through the open gates and try to seize the city.
But when a large number of Qin-Qi coalition forces pour into Xiapi, they will know what it means to...
"Dong-dong-dong~DongˊDongˋDongˊDong!"
A series of rapid and drastically changing war drum sounds suddenly sounded.
Just by listening to the sound, you can know that the drum sound must be from the main war drum!
And the coward, who was the leader of the 2500 troops in the rear of Tu Sui, changed his face.
He knew very well what this rhythm meant.
The front army retreats!
Looking at the city gate that was so close, the coward had to reluctantly order: "Retreat!"
The soldiers around him looked at the coward in disbelief.
Seeing that our army was about to take the city gate and make great achievements, why did they have to retreat?
But seeing the coward who had already retreated first, the rest of the Qin-Qi coalition forces had to follow the coward closely and retreat together.
Chu general: [_?]
Xiang Yan: (°Д°)
Tu Sui: `Д|
Looking at the troops withdrawing from the city gate, the generals of Qin, Qi, and Chu were all confused.
Even the Chu soldiers who were shooting arrows on the city wall didn't know whether to continue shooting at nothing or to stop this Qin-Qi coalition army.
The battlefield of the city wall fell into a strange calm for a while.
Tu Sui even left the central army and personally went to meet the troops of Naodan, angrily scolding them: "What are you doing?!"
"I have sacrificed my life to win you a chance to enter the city."
"You have paid the lives of many comrades and finally advanced into the city wall, and are about to seize the gate of Xiapi."
"How can you retreat!"
Naodan bowed and said helplessly: "I don't want to retreat either."
"Yes, the order to retreat has been sounded."
"We have to retreat!"
Tu Sui's eyes were low and his face was very ugly.
The central army's order drum sounded, and the whole army must obey the order.
Otherwise, military law will be imposed!
Tu Sui could understand Naodan's helplessness, but Tu Sui could not accept that this great opportunity slipped away in front of him!
After a moment of silence, looking at the city gate that had not yet been closed, Tu Sui's heart became ruthless and he said in a broken voice: "Just charge!"
"It's dark now, the commander may not be able to see the battle situation clearly, so he made such a decision."
"I will send someone to find the commander to discuss it."
Under the temptation of military merit, Tu Sui finally decided to take a gamble!
The coward looked at Tu Sui hesitantly: "But the general ordered..."
Tu Sui said resolutely: "If there is any guilt, I will take it!"
"This is a great opportunity, it would be a crime to miss it!"
"If we can't capture the city tonight, how many lives of our soldiers will we have to pay in the future to capture this city?!"
Tu Sui has said so much, what else can the coward do?
Tu Sui needs to obey Ying Chengjiao's orders, but why doesn't he, the coward, need to obey Tu Sui's orders?
The coward can only bow: "Yes!"
Turning around, the coward gritted his teeth and roared: "Keep charging!"
The soldiers of the Qin-Qi coalition were overjoyed and shouted: "Kill!"
On the wall of the city wall, Xiang Yan's brain was working rapidly, trying to find another way to lure the Qin-Qi coalition into the city.
As a result, before Xiang Yan could come up with a solution, he saw Tu Sui's rear troops actually rushed into Xia Pi City again!
Xiang Yan: (O_O)?
How did they come back?
This is a battlefield!
This city is Xia Pi City of my Great Chu, not your front door!
Xiang Yan couldn't understand and was shocked!
But in any case, this is a good thing for the Chu army.
Xiang Yan immediately ordered: "Send a message to the captain Xiong Liu, keep shooting the crossbow arrows, change the bow to a hard bow, and aim at the enemy's unarmored soldiers!"
"Send a message to the deputy general Qu Huan, hold on for a quarter of an hour and then pretend to be defeated and retreat!"
The force of the bow and arrow suddenly became heavier, and the casualties of the coward's troops also rose rapidly, but it was not to the point of despair.
Coward roared: "Hold the shield!"
"Shield soldiers hold the shield! Go forward!"
"Break the formation! Seize the city!"
Perhaps because of the guilt of letting his soldiers rush with him twice, Coward personally stood at the forefront and stabbed out with the long spear in his hand.
"Dang~"
The sound of metal clashing exploded, and the big shield blocked the tip of the spear.
However, Coward shook his wrist, urging the tip of the spear to deflect, rubbing the shield surface and stabbing towards the gap between the shields.
"Ah!"
A cry of pain suddenly sounded from the shield formation.
Naodan didn't know who he had stabbed, but watching the shield array shaking in front of him, Naodan still shouted excitedly: "Soldiers! Follow me to charge!"
Under Naodan's charge, Qu Huan's troops were shaky, but they always resisted in the city gate without retreating.
Outside the city gate, Tu Sui nodded with satisfaction: "It took a lot of time to go back and forth. The Chu army should have made more arrangements than before."
"It's a pity that our army missed the best opportunity. We can only let our soldiers fight for the chance of victory with their lives!"
As he spoke, Tu Sui couldn't help but feel puzzled.
This hesitant attitude doesn't seem like Ying Chengjiao's style!
On the city wall, Xiang Yan nodded with satisfaction: "All the generals have achieved what I want."
"Such resistance should be able to deceive Qin Chang'an Jun and induce Chang'an Jun to continue to send elite troops into the city."
"Send the order to the deputy general Qu Huan, pretend to be defeated and run away, and let go of the city gate!"
Hearing the order, Qu Huan smiled and ordered in a deep voice: "Soldiers, pretend to be defeated..."
However, before Qu Huan finished speaking, a familiar drum sound resounded through the battlefield again.
"Dong Dong Dong~ DongˊDongˋDongˊDong!"
"Dang~~~"
After the familiar drum sound, there was also a crisp gong sound!
Hearing the sound of the drum, the coward's face changed drastically.
If you don't advance when you hear the drum, don't retreat when you hear the gong, don't stand up when you raise the flag, and don't bow when you press the flag, this is a slow army, and the offender will be executed!
When the drum of retreat sounded, the generals in front could still argue according to the battle situation.
But when the bronze gongs for retreat were struck, those who did not retreat would be beheaded regardless of the reason!
The continuous drum sounds showed that Tu Sui's defense had failed, and the commander was probably furious!
The coward dared not hesitate any longer, and shouted: "Retreat when the gong sounded! Those who disobey will be beheaded!"
"The whole army retreats! Retreat!"
While shouting, the coward was the first to withdraw!
Qu Huan: "...Run, let the city gate go?"
As soon as Qu Huan finished speaking, the soldiers under Qu Huan were about to pretend to be defeated and let the city gate go.
As a result, Qu Huan saw that the coward's troops had arrived before Qu Huan's troops withdrew, and turned around and ran without hesitation!
Qu Huan: (°°)
Why did you run away again! ! !
Could it be that I persisted for too long?
Qu Huan wanted to shout at the top of his voice: Come back quickly, the city gate is open to you!
Now that you are running away, should I retreat or not?
On the city wall, all the Chu generals looked at each other in bewilderment.
It's fine to go back and forth, but why is there a second round?
Could it be that Tu Sui's troops are going to fight in Xia Pi City?
How can you fight like this!
Xiang Yan couldn't help but take two steps forward and looked in disbelief at the center of the Qin army: "I have already exposed such a flaw, and Qin Chang'an Jun can still hold it?!"
...
Can Ying Chengjiao hold it?
If it was Ying Chengjiao here, Ying Chengjiao would definitely see that there was an ambush in Xia Pi City, but Ying Chengjiao might still decide to rush in!
As long as the troops rushing into Xia Pi City are elite enough, they can disrupt the deployment of the defenders in Xia Pi City, and then create opportunities for the troops outside the city to climb the city wall and take down Xia Pi City!
In this case, how can we not charge?
But it's a pity.
Ying Chengjiao is now encircling the remaining Chu army in the Qin-Qi coalition camp.
Guarding outside Xia Pi City is Wang Jian!
As if sensing the restlessness of his master, the warhorse under Su Jiao's crotch was eager to move its hooves. While restraining the warhorse, Su Jiao said excitedly: "General, please allow me to charge!"
"As long as I can lead my troops to charge into the city, I will definitely be able to seize the gate of Xia Pi City!"
Wang Jian looked at Su Jiao with a gloomy look:
"Who would go through the city gate?"
