Chapter 656 The Longxiong Army attacks!
The Sichuan Army and the Yan Army engaged in close combat, and the vanguard troops rushed towards the Yan Army with long spears.
The Yan army hid behind their shields, placed their spears on the shields, and charged outwards.
In orderly legion battles, long weapons are mainly used. Spearmen do not need to learn many moves, just a few actions such as stabbing, picking, and blocking.
In this large-scale military formation, they only need to do two actions: stab, retract, stab, retract.
Also be careful to avoid the enemy's thorns.
As long as there are enemies in front of them, they just have to stab forward, and the archers behind them just have to shoot arrows. The war of ordinary soldiers is so simple and unpretentious.
The Yan army's central army fought with the Sichuan army's front army, and the Sichuan troops on both sides also came within the range of the Yan army's artillery.
It was almost a replica of the central army, and the same was true for the left and right armies. Artillery fired in unison, killing a wave of enemy troops first, slowing down the offensive and disrupting the enemy's formation.
Soon, the enemy rushed into the range of the muskets. The musketeers attacked again, then there was an arrow formation, and finally a close combat.
The Sichuan Army's uniforms and flags were both brown-red, while those of the Yan Army were all black.
Looking down from the hot air balloon in the sky, the brown-red area and the black area in the military formation below have completely overlapped, and behind the brown-red area there is a square formation of 100,000 people ready for battle.
It's probably something like this:
The two sides fought back and forth in a fierce battle.
The Yan army's artillery continued to fire from the rear, attacking the enemy.
This was almost the last battle of the Western Army in Qin. The Yan Army did not hesitate to use artillery shells and fired them all at once. After the battle, they had to stay in Qin and rest for a while, and then logistical supplies would be delivered.
The fighting on the battlefield was extremely fierce and in full swing.
Suddenly, the west gate of Xianyang City opened, and a team of 50,000 pure cavalry quickly rushed out of the city gate, circled to the south, and headed straight for the rear of the Sichuan Army.
Zhao Biao waved his sword, his face full of excitement, and shouted to the rear of the Sichuan Army,
"Hi hi hi, here I come again!"
Zhao Biao had only one task, which was to prevent the rear army of the Sichuan Army from being incorporated into the main army, and to create conditions for the Longxiang Army led by Bai Wuan, so that the Longxiang Army could come and infiltrate between the rear army and the left, middle and right armies to complete the division and encirclement.
If Bai Wuan led the Longxiang Army directly out, then after Xiao Lei learned the news, he would immediately order the rear army to move forward and merge with the main force.
With 400,000 soldiers gathered together, they formed a super strong combat power. Even if the 400,000 soldiers of the Yan army could surround them, they would definitely not be able to defeat them. Instead, they would be broken through by the enemy and divided because of their weak defense line, just like what the Yan army did to the Qin army that night.
In the era of cold weapons, except for occupying geographical advantages or absolute superiority in military strength, encircling the enemy is not the best means. The best option is to split the enemy's formation and defeat them one by one.
Zhao Biao led the White Horse Army and rushed into the front of the Sichuan Army's rear army, and began to attack and kill the Sichuan Army fiercely.
When Xiao Lei saw the familiar White Horse Army's large banner and Zhao's general flag appear again, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. He ordered the entire army to form a defensive formation and resist the White Horse Army.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Previously, the White Horse Army had repeatedly launched surprise attacks on the Sichuan Army, robbed their logistics teams, stole food, burned food supplies, killed logistics personnel, and ran away after fighting. After attacking the front army, they attacked the rear army, making it impossible for them to march. As a result, Xianyang City was captured and the Sichuan Army instantly lost its strategic advantage.
When Xiao Lei saw Zhao Biao at this time, he wanted to tear him into pieces.
When Zhao Biao saw the Sichuan Army's defensive formation formed, he did not fight hard. Instead, he laughed and led the White Horse Army to move around, shooting arrows, consuming the enemy troops while moving around to avoid being attacked. He used the rogue style of the Mongolian cavalry.
At the east gate of Xianyang City, 90,000 Longxiang troops have already assembled.
Bai Wuan received intelligence from outside and learned that the main forces of both sides were fighting fiercely and that the White Horse Army had blocked the enemy. He immediately gave a decisive order to open the city gate!
"Everyone, it's time for us to fight bloody battles again. We have already received the military pay of the Yan army and accepted the Yan army's military merit system, so we must fight to the death for the Yan State!
After the battle, rewards will be given according to merit. Those who have made contributions will be promoted and the entire army will be rewarded.
We are all Qin people, Xianyang City is our home, and the money you earn can be used to supplement our family expenses.
The more enemies you kill, the more rewards you get!
We must prove to everyone that there are no Qin people who are not good at fighting, only incompetent commanders. The fighting power of our Qin people is no less than anyone else's!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
All the Qin soldiers shouted loudly.
"All troops, attack! Follow me!"
Bai Wuan shouted loudly and led an army of 90,000 out of the city gate and rushed towards the south.
They headed south, bypassing the main battlefield and heading straight for the enemy's rear.
When the Qin army scouts saw the Yan army appear, they were so frightened that they immediately went to report to Xiao Lei.
"General! General! Something terrible has happened! Suddenly, a main force of the Yan army appeared two miles away!"
The scout shouted loudly and came in front of Xiao Lei.
When Xiao Lei heard the news, he turned pale with fear and shouted,
"Where did the main force of the Yan army come from? Aren't the White Horse Army, the Mighty Tiger Army, the Peerless Army, and the White Robe Army of the Yan army all here? Where did they get their main force from?"
"General, it's absolutely true. I saw it clearly. There are at least 100,000 of them, and they are under the banner of the Longxiang Army."
"One hundred thousand men? The Longxiang Army? When did the Yan army have such a legion? What is the commander's flag? Who is the commander-in-chief?"
"I don't know, I can only see that the general's flag has a white character!"
"white?"
Xiao Lei muttered to himself, wondering which commander of the Yan army had the surname Bai, and where the 100,000-strong army came from.
"By the way, Marshal, those people are wearing gray military uniforms!"
"Gray? Isn't that Qin Jun's uniform?"
Suddenly, Xiao Lei had an idea and his face changed drastically.
"Oh no! That's Bai Wuan! Bai Wuan, the commander of the Qin army, is leading the Qin army to attack us!"
The commander of the Fourth Legion said in surprise,
"Ah? Aren't the Qin army our allies? Why are they attacking us? Why are they flying the Yan army's flag?"
Xiao Lei gritted his teeth in anger and said,
"Do I even need to ask? Bai Wuan must have surrendered to the Yan army and recruited the Qin army's surrendered soldiers as well!
Damn it, I was wondering what was wrong with the Yan army on the opposite side. The number of people seemed to be more than expected. It turns out that they had surrendered the 200,000 Qin troops.
Now the Yan army has at least 450,000 people, and our Sichuan army has only 400,000!
Wow, I'm so pissed off!"
Xiao Lei roared angrily,
"The rear troops advance, gather the main force, connect with the front troops, engage the enemy, let them surround us, and divide their forces!"
