Chapter Ninety-Eight: Precarious
Zheng Bin had to tie Hu Hai's head to the pole with a cloth strap, and wipe off the white foam from the corner of his mouth by the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The poor boy had fainted with fright, and it was evident that the king, whose head had drooped, could not do anything to boost morale. Not everyone can face this kind of scene of corpses and rivers of blood, for a young man. This kind of scene is too unrestrained, and the children who come out of the deep palace are frightened.
Yun Key was in no mood to worry about Hu Hai's physical condition, and the battle situation was still anxious. The huge numerical superiority of the Chu army does not mean that it can be shaken by shaking. Now it is only the left and right flanks of the Chu army to attack, if Zhang Han does not move the dense main formation of the Chu army. Then this battle will be hanging again and again, and Yun Key's face is solemn. My family is here, and if I lose it, I don't have to go back.
Xiang Yan also looked at the battlefield with a blue face, this battle was equally important to him. He came here with 400,000 elite Chu troops, if he was defeated in this battle. The passage between Daliang and Shouchun will be completely cut off, and the army led by Changping Jun will have Wang Jian in front of it, and Yun Key will copy the back road. Even if you don't fight, even if you are hungry, you can starve the Chu army alive. In the first battle of Changping that year, the Zhao army was not so much defeated as starved. According to the survivors, those who died on top of the battle array were immediately eaten by their own robes. To the point of cannibalism, the end of the army is not far off. Xiang Yan absolutely couldn't watch the Chu State, which he had been loyal to all his life, finally fall into this step.
On the battlefield, the commanders on both sides thought they were about to lose, and perhaps they were right. But for Chu Dayong, these guys with huge maces in front of him are the real difficult opponents. These guys are armed with maces that are too big, and they are as nimble as rabbits. As long as you catch the opportunity, every attack carries a thunderous momentum.
Hoplites were not afraid of swords or even spears, but against such blunt weapons, armor had limited protection. I saw a mace smash into the head of a hoplite, and blood gushed out of the deformed helmet like a spring. Even if it hits the shoulder, calf, etc. Fierce soldiers will also lose their combat power!
The creatures seemed to be professionally trained, and their huge maces slammed upwards to block the hoplites' blades. Even if it smashed down with the wind, it was just that many people heard the last sound in their lives, which was the roar of the mace and the helmet colliding!
What made Chu Dayong scratch his head even more was that he was driven by these guys. The Chu army, who was still scurrying like a rabbit just now, actually reflexively pounced back. One by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, Chu Dayong suddenly found that under the leadership of a group of lions, the rabbits also began to bite. These guys, with their numerical superiority, used their round shields to block the blades of the hoplites. The guys next to them will attack like wolves, with a variety of weapons in their hands. There were even stones picked up from the ground, which smashed on the helmet. In an instant, it was as if 10,000 steel needles poured into the ears, and the brain seemed to be separated from the brain.
Ants can bite elephants to death if they are too numerous, although hoplites are brave in battle. The red tassel spear will also provoke the Chu army, and the two-handed combat knife can also split people in half. But the trend is no longer a one-sided slaughter, but a contest of back and forth. If the time continues, it will definitely be a nightmare for the Yun family's army. Because, the number of the Yun family's army is far less than that of the Chu army.
Xiang Liang knocked down a guy in beautiful armor with a stick, and this kind of guy is very difficult to deal with. Their armor was very heavy, and ordinary swords were used on them, which was simply tickling. Xiang Liang was very glad that he had a huge mace in his hand. Instead of a fragile bronze sword, it was as fragile as a toothpick in front of Chongkai.
It is precisely because of the heavy armor of their armor that their movements are very clumsy. Although it was much better than the Modao Battalion, agility was still their Achilles' heel.
He gave a few more blows to the heavily armed soldier on the ground who was still struggling, and the guy completely stopped. Looking back, the Chu army that had just retreated like a low tide sea. Now like the sea at high tide, the raging waves are constantly lapping against the front of the Qin army. Even if he is as fierce as the Qin army, it is inevitable that he will be exhausted under such an impact.
Xiang Liang knew that with a strong force. The Qin army could not support it for long, once the flanks of the Qin army collapsed. The cavalry that was gathering could no longer charge. Because, they have to leave enough strength to defend the Chinese army's main position. The cavalry that can't rush up is a dish for the infantry. Having lost the ability to maneuver, the sturdy takin cavalry was nothing.
"Rush, work harder. Qin Gouzi is going to die! Xiang Liang roared, led the soldiers around him, and rushed towards the place where the killing was most intense.
"Ancestor! Uncle, they're attacking! Xiang Yu's excited little face turned red, and he only hated that he couldn't go to the battlefield in person. There was nothing more exciting for him than war. This kind of general battle, in which hundreds of thousands of people participate, can be boasted of once in a lifetime. Xiang Yu was very reluctant, just as a spectator, if he had the opportunity, he would really like to meet those fierce heavy warriors for a while, these guys are always good when they are in Pingliang. I wanted to take a look at their armor, but they were all fiercely refused. That kind of humiliation made the arrogant Xiang Yu remember it for a long time, and today may be a good day for revenge.
Xiang Yan, who was standing on the roof of the carriage, could see it more clearly, but his face was still gloomy. Xiang Liang's side looks like a breakthrough, but it will take some time. On the left, it seems, things are not going well. Although now, the Chu army is gradually encroaching on the needle and thread of the Qin army by virtue of its numerical superiority. But in the distance there was smoke and dust, and it was the cavalry of the big drum in motion.
Pingliang has always been known for his cavalry, what are these cavalrymen going to do? Moving behind your own formation? Now, it seems, they haven't had time to get back into place. I'm afraid that the infantry of the Qin army has collapsed, just take that Tushan bag. That's it! Cloud Key's undefeated golden body will also come to an end in his hands with Xiang Yan today.
"Order the front army, after breaking through the needlework of the Qin army. Don't chase down the scattered soldiers, and besiege the mountain with all your might. Those who capture the king of Qin alive will be rewarded with 10,000 gold and sealed 10,000 households. At this time of the battle, Xiang Yan didn't care about his authority and began to make wishes indiscriminately. Anyway, as long as the battle is over, the final interpretation right belongs to you.
"No!" A group of heralds urged the horses under their crotches and flew towards the generals in front.
"Lord!" Zheng Bin was a little worried, Ao Canghai Qi Guoyuan had not yet returned to his position. The takin cavalry was still preparing, but the left and right flanks seemed to collapse at any moment. The situation is urgent!
