My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 411 Do you call this a partial teacher? Have you ever cheated your son like this?

Dark clouds cover the sky.

The eight thousand crossbow bolts shot out densely were like a big airtight net for the eight hundred and one knights, making it impossible to avoid them!

Even if the Chu army avoided the first round of arrows, after a few breaths there would be the second, third and even infinite rounds of arrows.

How do they hide?

Xiang Rong roared angrily:

"Hold the shield in your backhand!"

"Close to the horse's back!"

"As soon as you land, form a formation and hold on nearby!"

While shouting, Xiang Rong turned his left hand upside down and grabbed the double-arc painted walking and red paint shield about three and a half feet (0.8 meters) behind him, and made his body fit closer to the horse's back.

"Dong dong dong~dang!"

The dull crashing sound continued continuously.

Dozens of crossbow arrows hit the shield with the force of their falling force, causing Xiang Rong's tailbone to go numb from the shock.

But Xiang Rong only felt numbness in his tailbone.

The war horse under the crotch will suffer the old sin!

The double-arc painted infantry shield and the sophisticated armor could protect the Xiang family's disciples who were huddled on their horses, but they couldn't protect the horses underneath them at all.

Arrows passed through the barrier of the shield and pierced into the body of the war horse.

"Uh-huh!!!"

The war horses looked up to the sky and neighed. Although it was incomprehensible to human beings, the sound of the neighing was extremely sad.

Xiang Rong pulled the reins hard with his right hand to control the direction of the horse, and shouted in a low voice: "Hold on!"

"Keep rushing!"

"rush!"

There are constant cases of war horses staggering and falling due to the unbearable pain of life.

A descendant of the famous Xiang family was thrown off his horse.

Only a hundred feet away from the Qin army's formation, Xiang Rong's horse could no longer hold on, and fell forward as soon as its front hooves gave way.

Xiang Chuan's heart skipped a beat and he exclaimed, "Captain, be careful!"

The moment Xiang Rong felt the change in the horse's jolting rhythm, he pulled the reins hard to the left, forcing the horse's body to lean to the left.

Then he loosened the reins, supported the horse's back with both legs of his right hand, put the shield under his body with his left hand, and lowered himself to the left side of the horse.

"Xu~~~"

Under the influence of inertia and gravity, the war horse fell and slid to the right, screaming.

However, Xiang Rong fell to the ground safely with the help of the shield.

After rolling a few times along the inertia, Xiang Rong quickly hid behind the body of the war horse, and used the body of the war horse and the shield in his hand to build a small safe area.

The whole set of actions was completed within a few breaths, and Xiang Rong finally found his mind and shouted: "Dismount!"

"Arc formation!"

Xiang Chuan and the other fifty or so soldiers who had not yet dismounted pulled the reins without hesitation, turned over and dismounted, and then quickly came closer with Xiang Rong as the center.

Shields were stacked up one after another, forming an arc-shaped shield wall around Xiang Rong, blocking all crossbow arrows.

Xiang Rong closed his eyes for the war horse with pity, then looked at the Qin army a hundred feet away along the gap between the shield and the shield, and hammered the ground with his hands bitterly: "The Qin army arranged at least 25,000 crossbowmen here. this!"

"It's his mother's fault!"

"Is this a partial teacher?"

"This is clearly the main force of the Qin army!"

In the pre-war meeting, Xiang Yan believed that Ying Chengyu was likely to send a partial division to Dahongshan.

The Qin army has a total strength of 200,000. How many people can be divided into partial divisions?

The Qin army is still setting fire on all sides, and they must deploy some fire-setting and interception forces in all directions. How many people can there be in the main force of the partial division gathered in the west?

So Xiang Rong planned to use the speed of his war horse to quickly cross the dense forest and the range of the Qin army's crossbowmen, and smash into the Qin army's formation in one fell swoop.

Then the elite troops were used to break up the Qin army's crossbow array, giving the follow-up troops a chance to come out of the mountain.

To this end, Xiang Rong pulled out the most elite Xiang descendants, put on the finest armor, mounted the strongest horses, and carried long shields that only infantry could carry.

As long as the number of crossbowmen blocking this area is less than 10,000, Xiang Rong has a great chance of achieving his tactical goal!

But Xiang Rong didn't expect it.

There were more than 20,000 crossbowmen blocking him in front of him!

According to the regular ratio of the main field force of the Qin Army, crossbowmen account for only 15%-30%. In other words, this Qin Army is likely to number more than !

Xiang Rong really wants to ask Xiang Yan, do you call this a partial teacher?

Have you ever cheated your son like this?

Xiang Chuan gasped for air, his eyes searched back and forth on the battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "Captain, there are still more than 500 of our clan's descendants left."

"What should our department do next?"

Xiang Rong kept observing the battlefield with his eyes and gave the order in a serious voice: "Tell the Xiang family's children to move closer to this general and join forces to advance!"

"Order the left, right, and middle troops to form a turtle formation, hold shields, and come out of the mountain to move closer to our army!"

Looking at the Qin Army's crossbowmen who were retreating while shooting, Xiang Chuan couldn't help but said: "But the Qin Army's crossbowmen are constantly retreating."

"If our troops were walking with shields, they wouldn't be able to catch up with the Qin army!"

Xiang Rong scolded in a deep voice: "Don't forget the purpose of our department."

Xiang Rong's troops did not come here to kill people, but just to get a place for the army to escape from the mountain fire!

If the Qin army retreats, then let the Qin army retreat!

As long as the Qin army withdraws from a safe distance, the Chu army will naturally get enough space to get out of the mountain.

Xiang Chuan was suddenly enlightened and immediately raised his flag and issued an order.

The three Chu troops picked up the long shields left by the fallen shield soldiers and rushed out of the forest.

"Forward! Forward!"

"Be careful Shiwu, keep the shield wall, don't let any gaps appear!"

"Ignore Pao Ze who died in battle and keep moving forward!" Even though some of the crossbow bolts were attracted by Xiang Rong, there were only more than 6,000 crossbowmen firing crossbow bolts at the left, middle and right units of Xiang Rong's command.

But the soldiers of the left, middle and right tribes did not have as sophisticated armor as the Xiang's children.

Every crossbow arrow that passes through the gap between the shields will cause injury or death to a Chu soldier, which will lead to a gap in the turtle shell formation, exposing more Chu soldiers to the arrows.

Thousands of Chu troops came in response to the order.

But when they approached Xiang Rong, there were only more than 6,000 people left!

Xiang Rong didn't ask about the casualties at all, and directly shouted: "The left, center, and right troops spread out and push outward!"

"Order the rear troops to enter the formation and merge directly into the general's headquarters!"

"Sent to Vice-General Jing that our troops have established a foothold outside the mountain. Please ask Vice-General Jing to come out of the mountain with his robes!"

Seeing the flags from the rear of Xiang Rong's men from a distance, Jingchou waved his right fist excitedly: "Good!"

"Very good!"

"Lieutenant Xiang is indeed worthy of the general's expectations, and he really bit off a piece of meat from Qin Jun's mouth!"

"Send the order to the whole army."

"Get out of the mountain!"

The main fire in the south has hit, and Jingchou's troops have long been forced to hide in the fire road to survive.

After hearing the order to leave the fire scene, the generals excitedly shouted: "Wei!"

The Chu soldiers even ignored military orders and couldn't help but cheered for joy.

"Stand up quickly! Hurry! As long as you break out of the forest, you can survive!"

"Ah Weng, hurry up, I'll carry you on my back, I'll take you away!"

"Don't shout, be careful not to faint, walk slowly, we can all go home alive!"

The eyes of the dying Chu soldiers burst out with a desire for life.

After squeezing out the last of their strength, the Chu soldiers stood up as if they were having a flashback, or ran on their own, or supported their relatives and headed toward the west as fast as possible.

That's the direction of life.

But that's also the direction where the Qin army is!

Looking at the Chu army rushing out of the dense forest, Yang Huan laughed heartily: "The Chu army is hiding its troops in Dahong Mountain just as the commander expected!"

"Even if what is hidden here is just a partial army, our move of sneaking thousands of miles will not be in vain!"

When he saw Xiang Rong and his eight hundred and one cavalry rushing out of the forest, Yang Huan was very panicked.

If the Qin army wasted so much time by dispatching the main force on the front line of Dahong Mountain, but only trapped 1,800 people, then Yang Zhen didn't even know how miserable the defeat was!

As a general who participated in the war, Yang Huan was bound to have his title reduced based on his crimes.

It wasn't until he saw the left, center and right troops under Xiang Rong that Yang Zhen finally let go of his heart that had been hanging for many days, and then aroused his deep admiration for Ying Chengyu.

The Chu army not only hid its troops in Dahongshan as the commander expected.

Just as the coach expected, he really came from the West!

Yang Hu said without hesitation: "Since the commander thinks that the main force of the Chu army is hidden in Dahong Mountain, then the main force of the Chu army must be hidden in Dahong Mountain!"

"There are so many Chu troops rushing out from the west. How many Chu troops can be buried in the sea of ​​fire, I dare not even imagine!"

"After this battle, the Chu army will be severely damaged!"

The corners of Yang Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

Look what Yang Hu said!

No wonder Yang Huan was obviously Yang Hu's uncle, but now he was the captain under Yang Hu.

This is the art of language!

This is the art of taking sides!

Yang Huan and other generals rushed to the front and shouted: "The coach knows the enemy first, and knows things like a god!"

"Congratulations to the last general!"

Facing the praises of the generals, Ying Chengyu did not show the slightest smile. He just looked at the Chu army blossoming in the center of the battlefield with a solemn gaze: "This general is just taking advantage of the situation."

"Although I expected the Xiang family's children to be brave, the fact that the Xiang family's private soldiers can be so brave is beyond my expectation!"

The descendants of the Xiang family can fight, and Ying Chengyu can understand.

After all, they are all fighting for their own interests.

But why are Xiang's private soldiers fighting so bravely?

The fighting will of Xiang Rong's men to fight to the death far exceeded Ying Chengyu's expectations, and also caused Ying Chengyu's planned tactics to go bankrupt.

Su Jiao immediately handed over his hand: "Commander, the enemy troops all carry shields and have no long soldiers. Although they are good at blocking crossbow bolts, they are unable to fight against chariots, cavalry, and infantry."

"The last general asked for orders to lead our troops to charge forward and drive the enemy back to the mountains and forests!"

Looking at the burned-out three miles of dense forest in front of him, Ying Chengyu shook his head: "The mountain fire has passed."

"Pushing the enemy back to the mountains will not cause much damage to the enemy. On the contrary, it is possible to let the tiger return to the mountain."

"Since the Chu army is so eager to get out of the mountain, I will let them get out of the mountain!"

Ying Chengyu had no intention of fighting with Xiang Rong's current troops.

The current Chu army seems exhausted, but in fact it is the time when morale is at its highest.

Because all Chu troops have a common goal, to survive!

So Ying Chengyu chose to avoid his sharp edge and ordered in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Li Xin and Qiang Huai crossed the mountains and quickly rushed to the southwest side of the Dahong Mountains, and deployed a second layer of encirclement along the Jiuquan River and the Yangjia steep slope."

"Instruct the front crossbowmen to continue to retreat with the enemy's movements and expand the encirclement."

"Assist all the tanks to Xi Feng's headquarters, and order Xi Feng's, Yang Huan's, and Su Jiao's troops to prepare for the decisive battle!"

"Instruct the central crossbowmen to prepare the fire arrows!"

All the generals of the Qin army suddenly raised their hands: "Wei!"

　The proportion of crossbowmen in the entire army during the Warring States period fluctuated greatly depending on the battle situation, battlefield, and generals. According to current well-documented records, the minimum was 12% and the maximum was 60%. The proportion of crossbowmen in city defense battles There are many field battles, and the second-line troops have more crossbowmen than the elite troops. This is when looking at the entire army. If it is in a pure shooting camp, the proportion of crossbowmen can reach 80%.
