………………………………………………………………………………………………

The arrows that kept shooting in the darkness were an absolute nightmare for the Baiyue people who rushed forward, and hundreds of people were shot to the ground almost without any reaction. The people behind continued to rush with inertia, and more than half of them tripped over their fallen companions, and the entire charge was immediately interrupted.

This is not over, the sound of the bowstring has been ringing in the dark, the arrows of the Qin army seem to never stop pouring like they will never stop, the Baiyue people who have been interrupted from the charge are like targets that have been broken through the skin by the arrows and drilled into the body, and the blood flowers continue to bloom in the dim vision, reflecting the muffled snorts and screams.

The Qin army's arrow array is unmatched, the so-called arrow array is a continuous long-range attack, the shooters are arranged in five rows and constantly repeat the action of stretching the bow and pulling the string, with the sound of breaking the air in two waves and three waves...... The infinite loop of arrows was shot out of the vessel.

There are still many unused means of Mei Hong, which is only the most common type of arrow formation used to strike at the enemy's forward troops in the charge. He also knew how to cover the arrow array, the blocking arrow array, and each arrow array with a different name and shooting method has its function.

Six hundred archers would have a hard time forming a covering array against three thousand enemy troops, but now the Wave Array and Blocking Array are perfect for the current battlefield.

In the dark night, the Baiyue people didn't know how many Qin army's bow and arrow troops were in the darkness, and they had little spare time to think about these, watching their companions constantly fall under the arrows shot in the dark, as long as they were a normal person, they would have palpitations.

Wu Que was naturally caught off guard, and the Qin army did not abandon the camp and fled as imagined. His first reaction to the constant arrows coming from the darkness was: "Ambush!" ”

In battle, the transmission of military orders is never so simple, Wu Que realized that the ambush was already shouting for the soldiers under his command to retreat, but in this chaotic scene, can an effective military order be formed? Obviously impossible!

The 3,000 Viet et ald were shot over at least 600 in the course of the charge, and some of them rushed into the darkness, and those who rushed in felt a heavy blow to their bodies when they couldn't see anything at all, and then closed their eyes forever.

Lu Zhe, who was riding a war horse, had been observing the battlefield, and he thought that the time was right, and ordered Wei Han to blow the horn of the spearmen's charge.

The sound of the horn was very penetrating, and the sound was still clear in the battlefield full of screams. The pikemen who received the order shouted in unison "Hey! The sound of neat footsteps came from the darkness.

Mei Kai also shouted at the sound of the trumpet, and passed down one by one, and when the spearmen had already charged about thirty paces, the archers, who had readjusted their posture, began to trot forward.

Spearmen in front. Their neat running sound was so loud that the chaotic Baiyue people could feel as if the ground was shaking. Ears are filled with rhythmic footsteps.

Wu Que is no stranger to this kind of footsteps. This is an effect that can only be achieved by at least 1,000 people walking in order. He looked at his chaotic subordinates, and then heard the sound of "Xiu Xiu" breaking through the sky again, and his face was like dead ashes for a while.

Mei Kai's perched tactics had always been a specialty of the Qin army's archery units, who would always follow behind the charging troops, waiting for them to come back to shoot arrows when they were almost a hundred paces away from the enemy.

This time the 600 archers did not conduct band archery, in which case it was no longer appropriate. They stretched their bows and pulled the strings at the same time to the sound of bangs. When the sound of the bang stopped, he released the finger that was pinching the arrow feather at the same time, and in an instant the bowstring sounded neatly again.

Covering arrow array, Mei Kai used this method of battle for the first time.

Six hundred locust-like arrows flew over the heads of the charging spearmen, and the colliding arrows fell.

Fortunately, fewer than ten people were injured after the arrow fell. The middle arrow part is basically the arm or the like, and since it is not a full-force shot, the injuries of the hit arrow are not so serious, and they still maintain a charging posture.

The so-called covered arrow array is like this, because the arrows flying in the air are too dense, there will always be collisions with each other, even if there are really your own soldiers are accidentally injured, it is inevitable.

Getting closer, getting closer and closer, the spearmen slowly lowered the six-meter spears that were inclined forward to the slanted slants, and they could already see that the enemy troops had been cleared out of an "open space" by the last batch of covered arrows, and the enemy troops who were not in the coverage area were also terrified.

The enemy is in disarray!

The war is fought with momentum and formation, the Baiyue people have never understood how to arrange the formation, and now their momentum has been lost by the continuous blows of the archers of the Qin army, and in the face of the indomitable charge of a thousand spearmen, the consequences can be imagined.

Wu Que's face turned completely pale, and he looked nervously at the rear, where was the camp of the Baiyue people.

Yi Huze had been assembling soldiers for a long time, but it was still the same sentence, the soldiers were not immediately assembled by the commander's shout.

The assembly of an army contains many things, from the order to the receipt of the order, and from the grass-roots officers to the assembly of non-commissioned officers, the middle-level officers to integrate the troops, the integration of the troops into the command of the senior generals, and then to the supreme commander's surroundings, all of this is very simple to say, there are too many steps to do, and it is extremely time-consuming.

How long has it been since the assembly order of the Baiyue people was issued? It won't take more than two quarters of an hour at most, and today the only one who can assemble an army of more than 10,000 people in two quarters of an hour is the Qin army!

Yi Huze was even more anxious than Wu Que, who was on the battlefield.

The Qin army did not abandon the camp as reported by the spies, which was good news for the general situation that the entire Baiyue people hoped for, but it was bad news for the 3,000 troops of Yi Huze, including Wu Que.

The Baiyue had already launched a night attack just after nightfall, and that time they lost 2,000 soldiers who had been tempted.

In eleven days, the troops who died in the hands of Yi Huze had exceeded 10,000, and the total number of soldiers who had lost their combat strength was more than 15,000.

The anxious translator kept urging. However, the troops cannot achieve the effect of rapid assembly by urging, and in many cases, the more they urge to assemble, the more panicked they become.

On the one hand, he was concerned about Lu Zhe, who was fighting in the camp, and on the other hand, he was also concerned about the assembly of the Baiyue people.

The scouts had been secretly watching the camp of the Baiyue people, and they were still able to achieve the speed of returning every half hour, which allowed Lu Zhe to grasp the progress of the battle.

"Blow the horn of the two wings." Lu Zhe's expression was excited: "Let's encircle and annihilate this group of enemies again!" ”

Wei Han grabbed the horn and blew it, and the desolate horn sound of "Woo-woo-woo-" passed through the air, and the troops on both wings also blew the horn sound of "Woo-woo-" in response.

The 1,200 soldiers on each flank let out a shout, and the biggest difference between them and the orthodox Qin army was that they would shout as soon as they charged.

Now that the spearmen have penetrated the 3,000 enemy troops, the back road of the Baiyue people has been cut off, and the shouts of killing from the two wings of the Qin army have made the Baiyue people even more panicked.

There were less than 1,500 people left, and the Baiyue people, under the leadership of Wu Que, broke through with common sense. When they rushed forward, they happened to be facing the spearmen of the Qin army, who had already rearranged into a long formation.

This time the spearmen did not launch a counter-charge, they leaned close together and raised the spears in their hands, and a picture of sharp spears was formed.

Wu Que had already heard the shouting of the original words on both wings, and he kept driving his subordinates to run, even if there was a sharp spear in front of him, he had to break open a hole and escape. Otherwise, 3,000 people would have been surrounded and annihilated here.

It is usually not so easy to achieve encirclement and annihilation under many conditions, especially when the number of people is not much different. However, the current battlefield does not seem to be among the "usual". This is the battlefield carefully arranged by Lu Zhe. The Baiyue people who rushed into the camp had been pressed within a certain range, with about 900 spearmen to the south, a mess of tents and obstacles to the east, and Qin troops to the west and north who were constantly shouting and charging. In this way, the conditions for encirclement and annihilation were achieved.

The panicked Baiyue people were driven and crashed into the wall with sharp spears, what happened to the original living life to hit the sharp weapon with his body? It was the desperation of "Wow Wow" rushing up to dodge but couldn't, and then his body was pierced by a sharp spear. The whole person will be pierced like a rag by one or more spears, and then weakly hang down his arms and tilt his head to become a dead body.

In the case that 1,200 soldiers on each side of the two flanks charged over, and Wu Que's side could not break through, there were less than 1,000 Baiyue people left in front of them, and the battlefield with enemy troops on the left and right was constantly compressed. The crowd was crowded and under several covering shots from Mei Kai, who led the team up from behind, the few Baiyue people who survived and were able to stand completely collapsed.

Mei Hong brutally gave the military order: "Shoot them!" ”

Under the constant sound of bowstrings, all the Baiyue people who were stupid and kept shouting or running around in the pile of dead bodies fell in response.

In just two quarters of an hour, it is estimated that it is not even two quarters of an hour, from the three thousand enemy troops rushing into the camp to the last enemy soldier lying on the ground as a corpse, Lu Zhe felt that he needed to re-examine the meaning of ambush warfare.

After the last living enemy also turned into a corpse, several directions on the battlefield sounded a non-stop "woo woo woo" horn, which sounded as if there were Qin troops in all directions.

Yi Huze, who was assembling troops, couldn't see what was happening on the battlefield clearly, and his whole face completely collapsed when he heard the continuous sound of horns.

"About the same time," Yi Huze felt his heart beat very fast, "the same horn." He didn't say anything more, he understood that all the 3,000 people of Wu Que who were ambushed were finished, and this time none of them escaped.

The spy who reported the military situation, he saw the people around him staring at him with fierce eyes, and he was so afraid that he was going to die, and he was so soft that he was on the ground.

Yi Huze also looked at the spy and saw that he was so frightened that he slumped on the ground: "Drag it down, peel the skin, cramp!" ”

The spy was so frightened that he trembled and yelled at himself, but he couldn't change the outcome.

Losing 5,000 troops in a row in one day, both times being ambushed on the initiative to attack, Yi Huze felt frustrated and at the same time felt that something seemed to be wrong.

"Why does Lu Zhe want to lure the enemy?" Yi Huze whispered to himself: "Change the confrontation...... Is it to fight a decisive battle before the food is cut off, and give me two dismounts before the decisive battle? ”

The Baiyue people know very well that the grain route of the Qin army is too far, and they are in a dilemma of insufficient grain and grass almost all the time, so the Qin army can only defend, and the Qin army has always been mainly defensive, and rarely fights in the field.

"That old man named Fan Zeng, he hasn't appeared for a long time." Yi Huze looked at the Qin army camp that had fallen back into darkness steadily. He said that as long as the immigrants disturbed the southern counties, the rest of the southern counties of the Qin State would fall into chaos. At that time, the Qin State was too busy to take care of itself, and the Yue people might take this opportunity to eat the entire Nanjun like encroaching on Qianzhong County. They will also raise troops to capture and occupy Huiji County, Lujiang County, and Jiujiang County. When the time comes, the two sides will form an alliance to resist the Qin State......"

Yi Huze still believes in Fan Zeng's judgment, the turmoil of immigrants is an opportunity for Baiyue, and it is also an opportunity for those Chu people who have lost their country.

"The main forces of the Qin State are all transferred to the north, and the number of Qin troops marching to the south will not exceed 100,000. Song also agrees with this statement. The Song in Yi Hu Ze's mouth was Yi Hu Song, the alliance chief of the Baiyue tribes of all ethnic groups, and he hesitated whether to continue to gather troops: "After all, a lot of preparations need to be made for the transfer of troops, once the Qin army reaches the north and wants to go south, it will take at least half a year, and within half a year, there will be 300,000 Baiyue troops plus 300,000 people from Chu." 600,000 against 100,000 Qin troops......"

Yi Hu Song explained before Yi Hu Ze set off that the three Baiyue troops that set out from the south had only one purpose in their operations, that is, to disrupt the south of the Qin State, and if they could fight to the death with the Qin army, they would not have to fight to the death.

The Baiyue people unanimously believe that the Central Plains people are unreliable, and the Chu people, who have always had disputes, are also within the scope of unreliability. Yi Hu Song believed that the Chu people wanted to use them to consume the Qin army. In order to achieve the goal of restoring the country. However, this is not harmful to the Baiyue people, and the Qin State is in chaos, which is not only beneficial to the Chu people, but also beneficial to Baiyue. Therefore, the plot to cooperate with the Chu people for the time being is affirmed.

The three Baiyue troops were 20,000, 30,000, and 50,000 respectively. The force led by Ouyue was the one with the largest number of troops.

"Song said that you don't need to care about the territory in this battle, just make sure to kill Tu Sui and Ren Huan." Yi Huze thought about it, he didn't care what conspiracy Lu Zhe had, anyway, it was no longer suitable for war tonight, so he ordered: "Cancel the assembly." Five thousand men were selected to stand guard, and the rest rested. ”

Tomorrow, Yi Huze thought that tomorrow the Qin army would fight, and he already had a plan. If the Qin army asks for war, he will not fight.

"The Qin army must not have much food!" Yi Huze glanced at the Qin army's camp again, "It's best to run out of food, they will collapse, no matter what strategy they have, it is enough for me to hold them off and prevent them from supporting Jiangling." ”

Can it be said that such an idea is wrong? From the point of view of the plot of the Bai Yue people, it cannot be said that Yi Huze's idea is wrong!

Baiyue's combat goal was very clear, the original target of their three armies was Jiangling, and then kill the chief and deputy commanders of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and it was an accident for Yi Huze to encounter the Qin army led by Lu Zhe in Yiling.

After the accident, Yi Huze began to make a temptation, and found that he couldn't eat the Qin army in front of him in one bite, so he patiently confronted him, anyway, there were still two armies rushing towards Jiangling. There were only 5,000 Qin troops in Jiangling, and the Qin people themselves were plunged into civil strife, so it was not difficult for anyone to come to 50,000 troops to kill Tu Sui and Ren Huan in this situation.

On the other hand, Lu Zhe had been waiting since he surrounded and annihilated 3,000 enemy troops, and he had to know whether the Baiyue people had the will to pounce again.

After annihilating 3,000 enemy troops in this battle, Lu Zhe also obtained his own loss data, the spearmen killed 136 people, seriously wounded 79 people, and minor injuries were not counted, and the soldiers of the six countries lost 379 people, seriously wounded 207 people, and minor injuries were not counted.

After the first battle, the 5,000 troops lost 801 combat strength, most of which were caused by the enemy's desperate counterattack, and if it had not been for Mei Kai with archers, it was estimated that the losses would have been even greater.

Lu Zhe can accept this casualty data, it was a night battle, even if it was an ambush battle, it was a night battle, and he should be glad that he didn't suffer greater losses, how could he ask for more.

After the First World War, most of the soldiers were actually tired, and they took the time to rehydrate and rest.

"That's right, it's a stretcher." Lu Zhe described it: "Carry the seriously wounded first. ”

In this way, the five hundred people who could not be counted as the third echelon left first with the seriously wounded, and only about three thousand five hundred troops remained in the camp.

A thousand of these soldiers were a strong force, and three hundred of them were infantry.

To tell the truth, the heavy infantry should actually be in the first and second echelon sequence, after all, the heavy infantry is slow. However, Lu Zhe didn't arrange it that way, and if he thought about it darkly, he could say very frankly that if the retreat plan failed. The three hundred heavy infantry were the abandoned soldiers he was going to use to break off.

Trade-offs, that is also one of the things that must be done for the generals, compared with the large army, although 300 heavy infantry is very important, but compared to the high and low.

The scout's return was that the Baiyue people were still assembling, but from the scout's report, Lu Zhe found a clue that the Baiyue people were assembling, but the position of the Baiyue army was quiet.

At this time, any conjecture was useless, and Lu Zhe asked the scouts to get closer and observe, and be sure to find out the number of Baiyue gathered. It's a matter of whether or not to retreat.

It didn't take long for seven scouts to attract the attention of the Baiyue people after paying seven people as bait to attract the attention of the Baiyue people, and three scouts finally managed to get closer and observe, and they reported back the news they had discovered.

"Five thousand?" Lu Zhe knew that the time had come, "Set up the necessary scout sentry." Keep an eye on their movements. Looking at the officers who were already waiting for orders, "We...... Turn in! ”

This is not a retreat after defeat. Thanks to a certain army for coining the word "turn in". Lu Zhe's transfer is a transformation in the true sense.

The current battlefield is not the battlefield that Lu Zhe wants, nor is it the place where the Qin army can exert its combat power the most, the plain to the east is the best battlefield for the people of the Central Plains, where there is no need to be afraid of many unspeakable forests, and there is no need to worry about distorting the military formation in the battlefield full of small streams.

In the darkness, Lu Zhe led 3,500 troops to set off. They followed the trail of the troops in front, and the three hundred heavy infantry did not slow down the march after temporarily taking off their heavy armor.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if the Baiyue people find out that something is wrong, they will become suspicious after that ambush battle." Lu Zhe rode on his war horse, and he was thinking: "At the earliest, after dawn, the enemy will see the camp clearly, and then they will pursue." And now there are at least four hours until dawn, and we will already meet by then! ”

Will Baiyue people act according to the script written by Lu Zhe? I don't know what to do, because any accident can happen by chance, such as now......

The Baiyue spies who were hiding in the grass didn't hear any movement in the Qin army camp, he subconsciously moved slowly and closer, until he approached the Qin army fence that had been destroyed for about ten steps, and he raised his head to look at the Qin army camp that was not well lit.

"No one?" The spy subconsciously got closer, and he half-squatted up to take a closer look, "I really didn't see a human figure." "Until the whole person stood up," there was not a single shadow to be seen. ”

The spy hid in the grass again and moved back, he was thinking in his heart, "The Qin military camp is empty, hurry back and tell you", moved for a long time as if he had bumped into something hard, whether he had night blindness is not clear, but he is sure that the thing he bumped into is a person, and he will stab the dagger in his hand in an instant......

"Gee?" Baiyue's words sounded in the dark, and the volume was very small, "Where are you going if you're not ahead?" ”

It turned out that the spy who found that the Qin army camp was empty this time was called Ji, and he wiped the cold sweat that was scared out of his forehead, "Is it Shi?" "I went back to tell you that the camp of the Qin army was empty." ”

Grabbed Ji who was about to continue moving, "It's empty again, do you know what you mean?" Just now, Huan told the Qin army that the camp was empty, and as a result, all 3,000 people of the Wu tribe died, and Huan was also skinned and cramped by the leader. ”

Ji was stunned, of course he knew what "again" was, that means it wasn't the first time? He asked curiously, "The ring was peeled and cramped?" For what? ”

Shino seemed to be afraid: "He reported the wrong military situation, which led to the death of 3,000 people. ”

Xiao hesitated, he was originally very sure that the Qin military camp was indeed empty, but now he became a little uncertain. He thinks he should go and investigate again, so as not to be skinned and cramped because of the wrong military report.

Xiao used an incomprehensible tone: "The Qin army is too cunning, you better not take risks, we just need to make sure that the camp is not attacked by the Qin army, the leader of Ze has rested, and the anger will be very big when you wake up, so don't tell the rest." ”

Ji thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.

Look, history is so full of uncertainties, if this Ji is a dead brain has to go back to report the military situation, it is uncertain whether he will be picked up and cramped, but Yi Huze will definitely make a move, even if it is a temptation to send another army up to send him to death.

However, no, Ji was afraid of the same fate as the spy named Huan, so he didn't go back to report the news that Qin's military camp was empty.

Lu Zhe didn't know that his plan was almost destroyed by a small person, and he didn't know that he should be glad that another little person saved his plan.

On the way, the troops of 3,500 men encountered the men who had been escorting the wounded earlier, and after reuniting, the two groups continued to advance towards the intended target, and finally saw the camp ahead of them at a slight light.

The troops continued to advance, but Lu Zhe was stationed in the horse and looked south, he smiled very happily at this moment, when he reached this kind of flat terrain, he no longer had to worry about being fled into the forest even if he defeated the Baiyue people.

"It's a perfect battlefield!" Lu Zhe looked around at the land that was gradually showing its outline, "It's a pity that there aren't enough cavalry, otherwise ......"

In any case, Lu Zhe's plan was achieved, and when the Baiyue people found out and caught up, it was the beginning of the decisive battle! (To be continued......)
