…………………………………………………………………………………………

Dang Xuan shouted "assemble" meant to let the soldiers move closer to him, and the Qin soldiers who heard the order in an instant immediately ordered to gather over, and many officers at the level of tun commanders and hundred generals were also shouting for their subordinates to take action, hundreds, thousands...... A circular array is about to take shape.

One mile in the Qin Dynasty was three hundred paces, which is about four hundred and fifty meters long in modern times, and such a distance can definitely be run by an adult man in two minutes.

More than 4,000 Nanjun auxiliaries chased all the way, killing many Qin soldiers on the way, and there were only more than 500 Qin soldiers left who were waiting to catch up on the old battlefield and still fleeing for their lives.

More than 500 Qin soldiers shouted and fled, although they were extremely panicked in their hearts, but the long-term drills and the strict military discipline of the Qin army were almost deep to the bone marrow, and when they saw the robe in front of them, they did not crash headlong into the formation, but ran to the side.

The eyes of the Nanjun side who came after him immediately turned red when they saw the Qin army running in front of them, and they lost for a while and won back for a while, it was out of the stage of high spirits, and without thinking about it, they gave up running to the side of the Qin army and killed the Qin army that was forming a formation.

Within two minutes, there were less than 2,000 Qin soldiers gathered around Dang Xuan, and when he saw that the enemy army had given up the pursuit and rout, he ordered: "Crossbowmen are free to shoot arrows!" ”

The crossbowmen of the Qin army who were recovering arrows in the early stage were widely distributed, and the speed at which they wanted to get closer to the past would not be faster than that of melee soldiers, so that Dang Xuan ordered the release of arrows and only less than a hundred arrows were fired.

Diao Ding was born in the Qin army and understood the Qin army, he couldn't find Zhou Wen's figure, so he had to shout for the surrounding auxiliaries to come over, and for a while, more than 200 people were called, and there was a tendency to gather more and more. He shouted: "Kill the scattered enemy troops first!" ”

The momentum of covering up and killing has always been the favorite tactic of the Qin army, and although it was five hundred lords before, he also understood the advantages of this tactic on the attacking side.

Nearly five hundred Nanjun auxiliaries heard the order and immediately went in groups of two or three to kill the lone Qin soldiers, and the entire battlefield was immediately filled with fighting figures.

More than 3,000 people on Zhou Wen's side were killed. The more than 2,000 people gathered by the party did not have time to form a formation, and the two sides collided and mixed together again.

At this moment, what formation, what tactics basically can't be used, the Qin army, which is good at fighting in formation, and the Nanjun side, which is not good at fighting in formation, can be regarded as being in the same situation.

The Qin army's arrow array was sharp, but the soldiers were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat at all, but their weapons were basically more than three meters long, and they were somewhat affected in the forest terrain.

Zhou Wen soon discovered that Qin's pawn's weapons that were more than three meters long could not be used in a place full of trees, and he looked at the short ge, which was only one meter seven in length in his own soldiers' hands. After reading it, I kept screaming and cheering.

Both sides are in black robes, and they can clearly identify friend and foe when hedging, and it is difficult to distinguish between them and those who fight together. At this time, most of the soldiers fighting were looking at their weapons to distinguish friend from foe, and a melee was full of black figures fighting.

At this time, the sky was almost dusk, the light of the sun turned blood-red, the trees in the deep forest were green, and it was inevitable to kill the wrong person in the dark.

Over time. The more than 500 auxiliary soldiers who had been scattered had almost cleared out the Qin soldiers who had not had time to get closer, and he turned his head to look at the main battlefield, where the thousands of people had been completely mixed. Judging from his position, he couldn't tell which were the enemy soldiers and which were his own soldiers, and he couldn't find Zhou Wen's figure if he wanted to.

"Fight with Baiyue and the chaotic army. There is not a weak combat power. "Dang Xuan stabbed a man rushing to death with a sword in both hands, listened to the constant roars, and listened to the screams that never stopped, and then looked at the two sides fighting together in the dim vision." It's not that the intelligence is wrong, it's that their first defeat is a ploy! ”

I guess you're confused, right? When someone has only thirteen thousand men, he takes out 10,000 men to make a plan, isn't that putting the cart before the horse? But Dang Xuan can only think so. Otherwise, the first time against the enemy army was quickly suppressed, how could this time be so tenacious and entangled? It is really the only way to explain the difference in the combat effectiveness of the enemy army on two occasions.

When the sky is dark, there may be afterglow outside, but the light in the forest is almost gone, according to the usual situation, the two sides should retreat at this time, but Zhou Wen can't retreat, even if this support army is really exhausted.

Zhou Wen knew very well that his side was relying on a breath of qi to hold on until now, if he retreated, that qi would definitely be discharged, and the Nanjun soldiers were different from the Qin army, once they retreated, the Qin army would soon recover its combat strength and could fight again, but after his own qi was discharged, he could not and could not fight again.

The forest melee could not give full play to the Qin army's greatest advantage, and Dang Xuan wanted to withdraw from the woods more than once, but what he saw was that the enemy and us were staggered, and he didn't even know the current strength of the enemy and us, so he tried to retreat several times but kept deadlocked.

There are about 9,000 soldiers in total, and there will definitely be no more than 4,000 people who are still standing and fighting after two quarters of an hour of melee. It may be weird, these 4,000 people are fighting and beating themselves up. Unless they know each other, they really can't distinguish friend from foe, and all they can do is lean in on the people they know and kill anyone they don't know.

The battle robe is the same, the sky is dark, and now unless an external force intervenes, it can only be killed until exhausted.

In fact, if you can identify it, there are less than 1,500 people on the Nanjun side that can still fight until now, and this 1,500 people also count the 500 carved people who hunted and killed lone crossbowmen on the periphery, and the Qin army still has about 2,500 now.

Zhou Wen, who was stabbed in the shoulder by a spear, retreated to the rear under the protection of several soldiers, he shook a few times and stood firm and looked at the battlefield, knowing in his heart that even if the army he led could win this time, there would be no more than a thousand people to survive, and there was no doubt that it was over.

"Inform the deputy ......" Halfway through his words, Zhou Wen's eyes looked straight ahead, and although the light was dim, he could see nearly a thousand soldiers pouring out there.

The 1,000 soldiers found that the battle was going on in front and stopped, and an officer in military armor was running and shouting "Array". It's just a matter of not making a sound, the accent of the shouting is clearly Qin's accent, and the person who came is the thousand Qin soldiers sent by the party to pursue.

"It's over." Zhou Wenhe thought to himself almost at the same time when he saw nearly a thousand Qin troops in array.

The first torch was lit in a thousand Qin strokes, followed by one torch each lit, and when there was enough light, one could see more or less bloody heads hanging from their waists, which was clearly the result of the pursuit!

"Run! Escape to Ye County! "The stalemate just now can still fight each other. With this thousand new Qin soldiers joining, Zhou Wen knew that no matter how much he messed up and fought wildly, it was useless.

In the field of the scuffle, the Nanjun auxiliaries who heard the shout were stunned, they seemed to have recovered from a strange state, they didn't notice the red-eyed fight before, and now they looked around again, and there were very few robes who could still recognize their faces.

"Run!" It's really a flight, not a retreat, dozens of southern and northern tones, anyway, the accent that doesn't belong to the Qin dialect is roaring: "Escape!" ”

The Qin army on the battlefield did not give a cheer. They didn't even chase down the enemy who had dropped their weapons and fled. At noon, they easily won a battle, and then in the afternoon they fought in a chaotic battle when they were completely unprepared, this one may be the most chaotic one they have ever fought, after all, no matter how mixed and killed before, they could always distinguish between friend and foe by looking at their robes, but this time they can only be identified from weapons, so they need to tense their nerves to fight, and it is really too torturous psychologically.

There were less than a thousand Nanjun soldiers left, and they fled to the south with their armor off their armor, and the 1,000 Qin soldiers who arrived behind immediately chased after them.

Zhou Wen and Diao Ding met together again when they were running, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them as they ran. Although dim, they could see the bitterness in each other's eyes.

In this wood, in a short day, there were three chases, the only constant was that if you ran slowly, you were bound to catch up, screaming and being impaled to the ground by several spears or spears.

There is no hope of a comeback. Zhou Wen knew this, and he also understood it very well, they listened to the continuous screams behind them, and watched many soldiers running and falling to the ground and unable to get up. Slowly, there were less than 300 people left around him, and the Qin army chased closer and closer, and he really didn't have confidence in whether he could escape.

"Fight again?" Zhou Wen was ruthless in his heart. But looking at the soldiers around him, this time the soldiers' faces were not unwilling, some were just panicked, "There is no way......

Running and running, the distance is getting closer and closer, Zhou Wen suddenly found that there were no trees around him, it turned out that they had run out of the forest unconsciously?

The number of Nanjun soldiers out of the forest was less than a hundred, and they staggered and moved with their breath, when suddenly they saw a flash of fire in front of them, a bowstring sound came from not far ahead, and a rocket was nailed less than ten paces away from them.

"It's really damn me!" Zhou Wen couldn't help but murmur.

A voice came from the grass in front: "Front, army, report the number!" ”

Zhou Wen, who had just finished muttering, looked stunned, it was not Qin Yan who was asking, and immediately yelled after reacting: "We are not the Qin army, not the Qin army, don't let go of the arrow." ”

Originally, many of the Nanjun soldiers who were both frightened and exhausted and fled for their lives fell directly to the ground, and there seemed to be a loud shout in their tinnitus ears?

In the grassy clearing, as soon as Zhou Wen's words fell, countless torches were lit, and it seemed that shouts came from many positions, frightening the Qin troops who were chasing and killing to stop.

Nearly a thousand Qin soldiers saw that there were constantly figures shuttling in the bright grass in front of them, and they were full of shouts everywhere, and the military marquis who led the thousand people did not hesitate, and immediately led the army to turn around and retreat.

The people in the grass saw that Qin Jun was retreating and didn't know why they didn't chase, but only three people walked out, they walked towards Zhou Wen and the others who were sitting on the ground, and said eagerly: "Go, let's go quickly!" ”

"This military marquis ......" Zhou Wen was interrupted when he was about to say something.

"We are garrisons along the Han River, and we were originally going to retreat to Ye County, and we turned around when we found out that there was a big war here. However, we were too few to support, and the scouts knew that the battle was unfavorable for our comrades, so they set up a suspicious formation here to deter the Qin army from pursuing them. The marquis looked only in his twenties, and he grinned: "Actually, I only have a thousand people." ”

Zhou Wen nodded with difficulty, subconsciously looked in the direction of the forest, and felt extremely bitter in his heart: "I didn't achieve the task of rushing to the reinforcement fort, and the reinforcements from the four counties were ......lost in my hands, and I really didn't know what Lu Zhe would do with him."
