Chapter 769 Yi Xun Died in Battle! Run, Li Xin!
It was May 18th, the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty.
In the southern part of Julu County, a group of soldiers and horses held the banner of the Qin army and marched hard.
At the position of the central army, Li Xin read the general order in his hand and snorted coldly: "Chang'an Lord still has some conscience."
"If Lord Chang'an also endured the revenge of the king's assassination, I will definitely scold him when I see Lord Chang'an!"
The messenger's eyes were blank and he did not dare to listen to Li Xin's words. He continued to speak: "The messenger from the DPRK has arrived in the army and ordered our army to withdraw quickly."
"Although the coach temporarily rejected Wang Ling because the battle situation on the front line was different from what the DPRK expected, he thought it would not be delayed for a few days."
"That's why, please ask General Li and his troops to speed up!"
Li Xin's eyes were full of confidence and certainty: "Report to the coach."
"Just say that the last general will be able to command all his troops!"
"Of course." Li Xin's eyes became more serious: "According to my judgment, the attitude of the county magistrates in Daijun and Zhucheng is a bit weird."
"When the final generals attack the city, the magistrates of the counties will still defend resolutely, and the cities will rush to support each other."
"When the last general passed through Dai County and headed south, the journey was difficult. Allied forces from various cities repeatedly sent out troops to intercept the last general."
"But after the last general spoke to the enemy general in front of the formation about his intention to use the road to go south, he never saw the enemy blocking him again."
"The general thinks that Zhao Gongzijia is very likely to have taken control of Dai County, and may re-establish the banner of the Zhao State at any time, and integrate the power of the old Zhao State to start the war again."
"Please be more careful, coach!"
The messenger immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"
Li Xin handed the order to his soldiers for safekeeping, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass this order to the general!"
"The whole army moves quickly!"
Nearly 30,000 Qin troops set off again, galloping towards the main battlefield at a speed that ordinary generals could not understand!
Just as Li Xin's troops were rushing on their way, all the Yan troops had received Yan Dan's general orders and were embarking on their return journey.
The war also started!
Thirteen miles southeast of Julu City.
"Advance the left wing and flank the enemy!" Yi Xun roared angrily: "Let me penetrate the Qin army's flank."
"Kill and disperse the Qin army!"
The infantry of the Yan army on Yi Xun's left left the formation and launched an attack from the northwest direction of the battlefield towards the central part of the Qiang Huai army located in the south of the battlefield.
Just the Yan army on Yi Xun's left had four thousand troops, while the entire Qiang Huai army only had more than seven thousand troops!
However, Qiang Huai showed no fear on his face and shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"
"The front continues to contain the middle part of Yi Xun, and the two troops on the left and right penetrate directly into the middle of Yi Xun from the left and right sides!"
"The infantry in the middle join forces with the rear to intercept the enemy's right wing, and the knights in the middle follow my general to intercept Yi Xun's left!"
While shouting and shouting, Qiang Huai clamped his horse's belly and led eight hundred knights to charge towards the more than 4,000 Yan troops on Yi Xun's left!
Holding the bow in hand, Qiang Huai stared closely at Yi Xun's left side, silently assessing the distance.
Suddenly, Qiang Huai drew his bow and nocked an arrow, shouting: "Hold the bow! nock an arrow!"
"Target left front, throw!"
"put!"
When giving the order, Qiang Huai raised his short bow and fixed his eyes on a leader of two to five hundred Yan troops, letting his fingers loosen at will.
"Boom~"
The arrow flew away from the string, crossed a distance of tens of feet, and stabbed firmly into the eye socket of the 2500-year-old leader of the Yan Army!
Qiang Huai didn't even look at the result of his battle. He extended his right hand back like an ape's arm, took out another arrow, glanced briefly with one eye, and shot another arrow.
This time, the strings sounded like thunder!
"Boom!!!"
Following Qiang Huai, eight hundred bowstrings exploded at the same time, eight hundred arrows shot into the sky, and then splashed towards Yi Xun's men!
"Raise your shields! Quick! Disband and move forward, everyone raise their shields!"
"Uh-huh arms! Uh-huh arms!"
"Speed up and turn left. Only by annihilating this Qin army can our military be safe!"
One round of arrows only caused the death and injury of more than a hundred Yan army soldiers, but it caused a huge blow to the morale of the Yan army.
Because they have been fighting in the north all year round and know very well what kind of battle they are about to face!
After Qiang Huai shot four arrows in a row, he tightened the reins without looking back and shouted: "Hurry to the right!"
Yi Xun's left side began to run towards the east side, but the knights under Qiang Huai's command used the speed of their horses to reach the east side of Yi Xun's side at a faster speed, seizing the position on the right side!
Looking at the infantry of the Yan army close at hand, Qiang Huai raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "The knights on the left each shot the enemy!"
"put!"
The knight on the left immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and sent an arrow full of expectations toward his favorite one.
"No!!!"
"An arrow hit my leg! Don't step on your forehead! Don't step on..."
"Accelerate! Hurry! Turn to the northeast and be sure to restrict the movements of the Qin army's knights!"
Most archers hold their bows with their left hand and pull the string with their right hand, so the attack angles of most arch knights are only in the front and left areas.
As Yan Jun often dealt with Hun knights, he knew very well that only by placing himself on the right side of Qiang Huai's troops could Qiang Huai's troops be unable to draw their bows and shoot arrows, and break the bad situation of being kited.
But, easier said than done!
No matter how hard Yi Xun's troops ran, they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the war horses.
Under the personal leadership of Qiang Huai, only 800 knights held back more than 4,000 Yan troops on Yi Xun's left side, and continued to kill them!
Seeing this scene from afar, Yi Xun felt anxious and shouted: "Pass this general's order!"
"The knights in the middle came out to entangle Qin Duwei Qiang Huai's troops and liberate the troops on the left side of our army."
"The chariot left the formation, waiting for an opportunity to cooperate with the knights to encircle Qin Duwei Qiang Huai!"
Yi Xun's formation split in the middle, and the two chariots slowly increased their speed, and finally broke out of the Yan army's formation and charged towards Qiang Huai's troops.
There were thousands of knights on the flanks of the chariot, galloping towards the right side of Qiang Huai's headquarters!
Qiang Huai, however, was not surprised but overjoyed: "I thought it would be a surprise to be able to hold down 4,000 infantry with 800 knights."
"But I never thought that General Yan would have surprises waiting for me!"
Although he is a captain, as a veteran who has followed Ying Chengyu on many expeditions, Qiang Huai no longer regards himself as a point that needs to be protected, but rather as an important war resource on the battlefield. .
At the cost of his own safety and that of 800 knights, he implicated 4,000 Yan Army infantry, 1,000 Yan Army knights and two Yan Army chariots.
It couldn’t be worth more!
After patiently waiting for the Yan army's knights and chariots to move away from the center of Yi Xun, Qiang Huai shouted excitedly: "Send orders to the left and right troops to take advantage of the situation to attack the center of Yi Xun!"
"Soldiers, entangle Yi Xun's left side and fight for the opportunity for the robes!"
Pulled to the limit by Qiang Huai, although Yi Xun's troops were more than twice as strong as Qiang Huai's, Yi Xun's troops were unable to break through Qiang Huai's blockade, and even suffered heavy losses!
Looking at the large number of Yan army corpses scattered on the battlefield, Yi Xun's heart was bleeding.
Looking at the flags of the Qin army's generals who were gradually shrouded in darkness, Yi Xun shouted: "The front troops retreat and rest, the rear troops advance forward with fire!"
"The ministries fought all night long!"
"The Qin army is indeed capable, but after all, the Qin army is outnumbered, so it has to do more galloping in order to pull our troops."
"The advantage is still with me!"
"Even attrition! Our army can also defeat the Qin army!"
The torches were lit, and the flames rose up.
But there were many more torches lighting up than Yi Xun expected!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the fire dragon made of torches in the northwest. Yi Xun panicked, but he forced himself to sneer: "The Qin army in this battle only has a few thousand people, how can it have such a large army."
"The Qin army put a lot of torches on the poles again to confuse our troops?"
"Ha~"
"This strategy has been spread all over the world by the defeated Chu army. An Neng can deceive me!"
"All ministries obey orders and move forward!"
Looking at Yi Xun's troops advancing towards his headquarters, Qiang Huai blinked: "Yi Xun, Captain of Yan, are you drunk?"
Our army of nearly 30,000 reinforcements was marching in plain sight. As a result, instead of fleeing, the Yan army took the initiative to attack our army!
As expected of Yan Taizi Dan’s generals, they are so brave!
After receiving the long beryllium from his own soldier, Qiang Huai shouted excitedly: "Soldiers!"
"Our friendly forces have appeared, but Yan Shu still dares to charge towards our army!"
"What should I do?"
More than six thousand remaining soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight!"
Qiang Huai laughed loudly: "Beat the victory drum!"
"March!"
Qiang Huai took the lead and personally led the Chinese army to meet the Yan army.
Head-on collision!
Under Qiang Huai's deliberate command, the Qin and Yan armies quickly became entangled as soon as they engaged in battle.
When Yi Xun discovered that the fire dragon in the distance was not an illusion created by a pole, but a real Qin army of nearly 30,000 people, the Yan army had no room to avoid it!
Yi Xun could only watch helplessly as Li Xin led the Great Qin Northern Corps to slam into the rear of Yi Xun, which was the most vulnerable!
"The rear of our army is broken! The rear of our army is in chaos!"
"Captain, our army has been completely surrounded by the Qin army! What should be done, Captain, please tell me quickly!"
"Don't kill me again, please surrender!"
Suddenly besieged by the Qin army, the Yan army's already low morale instantly fell to the bottom!
A large number of Yan troops asked to surrender on the spot, and even the Yan troops who were still fighting had panic written on their faces.
Qiang Huai laughed heartily: "Yan Shu! Keep your eyes wide open to see who is outnumbered and who is outnumbered now!"
"Our reinforcements have arrived, soldiers, kill the enemy!"
Qiang Huai was about to lead the central part to penetrate the Yan army, when he saw that five chariots had cut a bloody path through the Yan army and spread a red carpet of flesh and blood all the way to the front of Qiang Huai.
Behind the red carpet, Li Xin personally led the cavalry to charge!
Qiang Huai hurriedly handed over his hand: "Thank you Captain Li for traveling thousands of miles to help!"
"After this battle, I will hold a big banquet to thank you!"
Li Xin casually raised his hand in return and said, "Captain Qiang, there is no need to thank you."
"The follow-up of this battle still requires Captain Qiang to pay more attention."
Qiang Huai was stunned: "What does Lieutenant Li mean?"
Li Xin smiled and said: "My troops are here for an expedition and are in urgent need of rest."
"Now the Yan army's formation is broken and their morale is dead. There is no need for our army to fight anymore."
"I will lead my troops in Paoze to set up camp and rest immediately. The rest of the Yan army will have to worry about the Qiang captain."
Qiang Huai hurriedly said: "Although our army has blocked the Yan army for several days, the victory can only be determined by the arrival of Lieutenant Li and his troops."
"The pursuit of this battle will naturally be left to Captain Li's command."
The most profitable stage in a war is definitely the pursuit stage.
Now that Li Xin's troops have finished the most difficult battle, but they do not participate in the pursuit, it is equivalent to doing the work but not receiving wages.
If this matter spreads out, Qiang Huai will no longer be a human being!
Li Xin smiled and raised a head: "With this skill, it is enough."
"The command given by the commander to our department is to rush to the aid of all departments, military merit is only secondary."
Looking at Yi Xun's dead-eyed head, Qiang Huai finally felt a little relieved and immediately said: "Since this is the commander's order, I shouldn't say too much."
"Our military camp is five miles southeast. If Lieutenant Li does not give up, he can lead his troops to directly enter our camp!"
Li Xin nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!"
Throwing Yi Xun's head to his family soldiers, Li Xin left proudly without even looking at the defeated Yan army behind him.
