"According to military law, those who honor the enemy and fear the crowd will be killed!"

On October 29, in the Qin army camp outside Xiangcheng, under the watchful eyes of everyone, an unlucky soldier was tied to a pillar by the Yuanmen, first shown to the public for a day, and the military judge announced the crime, and then was killed alive by the executioner.

The soldiers were not surprised by this scene, and watched with expressionless faces, admonishing each other to take warning. Only the black man in the crowd looked at the bloody corpse, and for no reason, a chill rose from above his head.

"If I dare to say that Li Xin is going to be defeated, the Qin army is going to be defeated, and the Chu army is going to win, and so on, at this moment, I'm afraid I will end up like this person."

The military law of the Qin army is strict, and those who dare to praise the enemy army and hit morale will be reported to be this fate.

According to the urine nature of the Qin army and Shiwu joint security and mutual supervision and monitoring, unless it is the own brother of a fellow mother, it is difficult for you to expect the people who gather and eat together not to report it. It's not that the love of the robe is worthless, but because the military law stipulates that if anyone violates the ban in the army, the people in the army expose him, and the whole army will be exempted from the crime, and if he knows about it and does not expose it, the whole army will be punished.

Therefore, this unlucky guy in front of him, just because of Jiudun City, said a depressing word, and ended up like this, which sounded the alarm for Hefu, although he knew the result of the defeat of this war, but he could not complain.

Therefore, Heifu could only close the big mouth of the prophet, and kept silent to Captain Li You, and everyone under his command, and couldn't say anything, but every day he asked a hundred people under his command to be cleaned up, and the blades could be carried at any time, and they could run away on their backs at any time.

But it turns out that when defeat strikes suddenly, no matter how much preparation you make, you will be caught off guard.

First of all, on October 29, the defenders of the Chu State in Xiangcheng suddenly changed their minds and began to attack the Qin army after retreating for a month.

When he heard the beat of the assembled drums, Heifu was eating his supper meal, and he quickly swallowed the unchewable meal, grabbed the weapon beside him, and walked out of the tent with the others.

The Qin army was under the city for a long time, and they were afraid that the people in Xiang City would not come out, so they immediately beat the drum and gathered to resist. Although most of them are miscellaneous armies in Shandong counties, their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Chu people, and they have the advantage of being numerous.

But just when the Qin army killed and injured a large number of Chu troops and was about to counterattack into the city, they did not expect that their rear would be in chaos first.

The Nanjun Corps was responsible for sitting on the left flank, as a reserve, ready to enter the battle at any time, but on the battlefield where the shouts were like thunder, Heifu was patted by Ji Ying, who liked to look around, and when he turned around, he was shocked to find that the direction of the Yingshui River bank, where the Qin army was hoarding grain, was actually on fire!

The flames are blazing and the smoke is billowing out, which means bad news.

For a while, after the two barriers, the Qin people who had been in a good time were all shocked, and the soldiers all saw what was happening behind them, and horror and uneasiness spread among them.

"What's the fire?"

"Could it be that there is a Chu army behind him!"

Heifu chuckled in his heart.

"The wharf by the Yingshui is either supplies from Yingchuan County upstream, or grain and grass sent along the chasm."

"Yingchuan is the rear of the Qin army, it is unlikely that something will happen, could it be that Chen Ying has changed?"

This moment of panic caused the Qin army's offensive to stop, because the soldiers were frightened and looked at the rear, and they could no longer concentrate on fighting.

"Nanjun soldiers, come with me!" At this time, the herald began to convey the order of Lieutenant Li Youdu, and Meng Tian asked him to rush along the river bank to help the rear.

A thousand men marched ahead, followed by a large army, and the hundreds of men of the Heifu and their men surrounded Li You's chariot, and when they reached the riverbank, they found that it was already in disarray, and the soldiers guarding the docks and warehouses were fighting with the enemy who had appeared out of nowhere.

The grain official with soot on his face hurriedly reported: "The ship from Chen Ying, which was thought to be an ordinary grain ship, rushed straight to the shore, first burned the wharf, and then tried in vain to rush into the warehouse and light fires in all directions. “

Li You stretched out his hand to feel the direction of the wind, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, the wind was the north wind that often blows in winter, coupled with the dry weather, the flames that were burning from the dock had spread to the south, and the tents were slowly lit up......

"Rate A and rate B repel the enemy, rate C, rate D and the personal guards of the short soldiers quickly follow me to fight the fire!"

After a while, the soldiers of Nanjun were divided into two parts.

Although the camp of the Qin army was reasonably arranged, it still could not withstand the cooperation of the fire and the north wind, and the dock was full of burning wooden ship shells, and there were burning felt tents everywhere, and the blazing flames swirled and rose until they were more than a foot high, and the flames were so bright that the faces of Heifu and his soldiers were red.

Such a fire can no longer be extinguished by human hands, not to mention, there are Chu people who have landed from the dock and rush to the camp without fear of death, not to kill the enemy, but to ignite the fire.

"The fire can't be stopped." Bu Cheng, who was choked by the fireworks and coughed, said.

Heifu asked the robes to give each other an order: "If there is chaos, gather around the captain immediately!"

He had a hunch that the Qin army would be defeated today!

Sure enough, the chaos in the rear affected the fierce battle ahead, the Qin army was unstable, and the offensive gradually slowed down.

For a time, the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed, but the Qin people began to retreat step by step, and the Chu people stormed the Qin wall, which was less than a foot high, and climbed the fortress first, and a Duwei County corps responsible for defending was drowned in the tide of the Chu people.

In the half hour that Heifu and the others were busy fighting the fire, the first barrier of the Qin army was broken by the Chu army, and Meng Tian had to order his subordinates to retreat to the second barrier.

The Chu army didn't mean to stop for a minute, Xiang Yan's Daxu, which should have been at the head of the city, suddenly appeared between the two walls, and at the same time, those Chu soldiers were holding in their hands, as well as a lot of captured broken banners of the Qin army, and I don't know where they got it from.

The Chu people shouted in unison.

"Li Xin has been defeated, the whole army has been annihilated, Chen Ying has also recovered, and you are not ready to be captured?"

……

Chen Yinglai's grain ship brought in enemy troops who set fire everywhere, the rear military camp was on fire, and the front was attacked by the Chu army, the morale of the Qin army was shaken, the first barrier was breached, and then the second barrier did not hold for long.

The Chu army has already gained momentum, and after the Qin army has no barriers, it has no advantage, and because of the chaotic and burning camp behind it, it is impossible to list a formation to engage the Chu army. In this case, it was self-defeating to try to hold on to the camp again, and Meng Tian had to give the order to retreat.

Retreating in this situation, there is only one result, that is, the endless pursuit of the Chu army, Meng Tian's move is a gecko tail cutoff, and between the annihilation of the whole army and the preservation of half, the latter is chosen.

In this way, for the battalions, the next thing is a question of whether to do the beginning or the end.

Unfortunately, the Nanjun Corps, which was relatively complete, was assigned to the rear of the palace to intercept it.

"General Meng, this is asking me to be the tail of the gecko."

The moment he got the military order, Li Youchang sighed, there seemed to be a little resentment on his face, but he still chose to obey and moved to the camp with the Nanjun Corps.

Under Li Youyan's order, the Qin soldiers, who had suffered such a defeat for the first time, began to line up with another Du Lieutenant Corps, and they were asked by Meng Tian to abandon the camp and respond to the retreating comrades, while blocking the pursuit of the Chu army!

Heifu They did not run away, still surrounded Li You, he saw that there were crossbowmen in front of him with crossbow machines, shooting to death those Qin soldiers who had run away, so as not to impact the formation, so the rout soldiers were very wise to go around from both sides, and the two captains, the array of more than 10,000 people has gradually taken shape, this is the last two armies of the Qin army that can still fight.

The two barriers have been breached, and they are the last strong walls, not only to face the onslaught of tens of thousands of Chu troops, but also to withstand the landslide-like defeat caused by the rout.

The military judges still stood behind with their faces blackened, their swords already stained with blood, not from the enemy, but from those who had deserted and were trying to flee.

He looked at Li You, who was also nervous, and then looked at his subordinates who were still intact, and he had sworn to save his own lives and theirs.

Hefu admired those who fought bravely, fought noblely, and fought honorably, but he didn't want to die even more.

"Spread the word......"

Heifu asked Ji Ying to pass the word for himself to Dongmen Leopard, Gongao, and Xiao Tao.

"Once the battle is bad and the front army is defeated, they will retreat with me with the captain's car!"

There is only one kind of sword that Judge Qin Guojun can't kill, and that is the short soldier who guards the main general's retreat!
