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

Chapter 597 He still has to thank us! The Chu army attacked at night and burned the Qin army's camp!
June 7th.

Monday (3:00)

It should have been the most sleepy time, but figures kept emerging from the invisible darkness of the night, and then returned to the city in bamboo baskets thrown off the city wall.

"Report! The main force of the Qin-Qi coalition forces is still hoarded in the west of Xiapi City, and the number of patrols is more than doubled."

"Report! Our troops encountered the Qin-Qi coalition scouts six miles to the south. After a bitter battle, all the soldiers died in the battle, except for the general who fled back."

"Report! Our troops discovered more than 300 Qin-Qi coalition warships on the Sishui River."

Messages gathered in Xiang Yan's ears.

Xiang Yan said calmly: "The king's order to force our army to retreat has indeed been known to the Qin army."

Listening to the information sent back by the scouts, Xiang Yan quickly concluded that although Ying Chengyu continued to attack and force the battle as usual during the day, in fact, he had already used his superior strength to throw out a large net, covering the Chu army together with Xiapi City. Cover your heads together.

You want to say that Ying Chengyu didn't know the order of King Qi of Chu?

Xiang Yan doesn’t believe it at all!

Xiong Liu asked coldly: "Could it be Jing who tipped off the Qin army?"

"That Jingpo has become the captain of the guerrilla forces of the Qin and Qi coalition forces. Many of the Jing family's sons surrendered in the hope of the wind."

"Jing's heart is unpredictable!"

Jing Huan and other Jing family disciples immediately glared at Xiong Liu angrily.

However, before they could speak, Qu Huan had already refuted: "Even if the Jing family is the captain of the guerrilla force of the Qin-Qi coalition, the Jing family is still a common people of our country."

"For the sake of the country or for oneself, the Jing family would not do such a thing."

"Now that the war is about to begin, our military should unite and fight the enemy together."

"Please Min'an Jun, please stop saying such words that will hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy!"

Hedging bets is a common tactic used by large families.

Not only did Jingpo go to Qin, but several of the Qu family's descendants also went to Qin. It was just because they did not have the same situation as Jingpo, so it was difficult for them to be promoted.

Not for the Jing family, but just so that the Qu family would not face such accusations in the future, Qu Huan could not let Xiong Liu grab Jingpo and attack the Jing family.

And what time is it now?
The war is coming!

Qu Huan cannot allow anyone to alienate the morale of the army when the decisive battle is coming!
Xiang Yan also nodded slightly: "What Deputy General Qu said is true."

"It's unusual for a big family to have branch children who don't want to be affiliated with the family."

"Jing is still trustworthy."

"And Qin Chang'an Lord was able to learn this news, which was already expected by me."

"If Lord Qin Changan doesn't know about it, I will send someone else to tell you!"

Behind the crowd, Zhuang Jia, wearing ordinary knight equipment, showed a satisfied smile.

Did everyone hear it?
He said this himself!

Although I leaked their information, they still have to thank me!
Xiong Liu's eyes flickered.

Of course he knew it was inappropriate to say this before the war, but he said it anyway.

As the future King of Chu, Xiong Liu certainly needs to pay close attention to the relationship between the major clans in Chu State.

However, Qu Huan's unhesitating response to Jing's family made Xiong Liu's heart sink.

When the big families of Chu unite, their enemy will naturally no longer be each other, but the King of Chu!

They all blame King Kaolie of Chu and his four unlucky sons!

If Xiong Liu wants to sit firmly on the throne, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!
However, Xiong Liu immediately showed an apologetic look on his face, and bowed his hands to Qu Huan and the Jing family's disciples: "I made a mistake."

"Please forgive me."

"To express my apology, I would like to be a pioneer!"

What else could Jing Huan and others say?
I can only forgive him!

Xiang Yan smiled and said: "I already have a candidate in mind for the position of vanguard."

"Captain Xiang Han!"

Xiang Han took a step forward and looked at Xiang Yan eagerly: "The general is here!"

Xiang Yan asked solemnly: "Do you dare to fight to the death?"

Xiang Han suddenly raised his hand and said, "It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!"

"That's it." Xiang Yan's smile faded and she shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Captain Xiang Han led his troops to sneak to the east and took the initiative to reach the Qin army's scouts."

"After engaging the Qin army, they lit fire as a signal, and then accelerated their advance to attract the enemy."

"Captain Zhaoxiang, Commandant Laode, and Commandant Chenghan turned to the west. Once they discovered a fire on the east side, they attacked the enemy's central camp at night."

"Captain Qu Lu led our warships out of the water village in the east of Xiapi City to intercept the enemy's warships."

"Captain Jing Huan led his troops and horses with their titles and hoofs wrapped around them to secretly reinforce the troops in the direction of Jushan."

"Captain..."

"The rest will be hidden in a private house in Xiapi."

"Take the golden drum as your trumpet!"

"When the drums sound, the whole army will come out!"

Under the deep night, the south gate of Xiapi City slowly opened, and the suspension bridge slowly lowered.

War horses slowly walked out of the city carrying the knights on their backs.

The heat created a glimmer of light in Xiang Han's armor, and even hit the ground along Xiang Han's armor.

But Xiang Han's expression was cold.

Holding the halberd left by Xiang Lang in his hand, Xiang Han marched silently at the front of the headquarters, his eyes filled with the fire of revenge constantly patrolling around.

"Quack~gua~"

A few frogs croaked quietly in the night, dotting this hot summer night.

But Xiang Han suddenly sat up straight.

Wherever the army passed, birds and beasts were everywhere. How could a frog without eyes dare to cry? After waiting patiently for more than ten seconds, Xiang Han, who did not hear the frogs croaking anymore, shouted:
"Raise fire! Raise shield!"

Xiang Han's words were like a heavy hammer smashed into the stagnant water, echoing far in the quiet night sky.

There was no need for the ordering soldiers to say anything. The shield soldiers in Xiang Han's army pushed towards both sides of the army without hesitation and raised their large shields.

Seventy percent of Xiang Han's soldiers even lit the torches in their hands with flints.

Within a few breaths, a fire dragon made of torches suddenly dispersed the darkness around him!

It is different from the tithe fire in the regular night battle.

Xiang Han's troops only had 12,000 men, but he held up 8,500 torches and gave the appearance of 85,000 troops!
"Not good! The enemy has discovered our army!"

"We actually ran into the Chu army's partial division?"

"No! If the Chu army escapes separately, this may be the main force of the Chu army!"

"Our troops have intercepted the enemy's troops, and the robes immediately summoned the general! Ask for help!"

"Crossbowmen come forward, diffuse!"

Looking at this long, thick and endless fire dragon, the Qin and Qi coalition forces ambushing near Xiang Han's headquarters subconsciously thought that they had encountered a partial division of the Chu army, or even the main force of the Chu army!
Waves of exclamations sounded one after another from the Chu army's east, west, north and south.

What followed was the sound of exploding bowstrings and the sound of gold and iron!
Xiang Han sneered: "With just this little ability, you dare to come close to investigate?"

"Boss, speed up and move forward!"

While shouting, Xiang Han took the lead and rode forward.

Behind Xiang Han, hundreds of Xiang's children and two thousand elite infantry followed closely.

Seeing Xiang Han leading the front army to charge forward, a Qi army company commander shouted: "Form up! The spearmen come forward and form a square formation!"

However, this order revealed the position of the Qi army.

Xiang Han's eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the Qi Army's company commander. He took out a short javelin from the back of his horse with his right hand, bent his body backward, and then threw it suddenly!

"what!!!"

Listening to the screams from an unknown person, Xiang Han shouted angrily: "The enemy is forty feet in front of our troops."

"Knight, speed up!"

"rush ahead!"

While shouting, Xiang Han clamped his horse's belly again and ran wildly in the direction of the sound.

When he got closer, Xiang Han saw frightened faces.

With a cruel smile on his face, Xiang Han stabbed forward with the halberd in his hand.

"Qi thief, come and accept your life!!!"

The tip of the halberd passed through the throat, bringing out a large amount of blood.

Before the body of the leading Qi Jun landed, Xiang Han's halberd was already slashing at another Qi Jun.

Behind Xiang Han, hundreds of Xiang's descendants also stabbed out their halberds decisively and sharply, trying to use the lives of these Qi troops to pay tribute to the clan members who died in this battle.

"The leader must be a general. If you kill this general, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

"The enemy has at least 2,000 people. How can a company of 200 people like us be able to defeat it? Run! Run quickly! Aren't you afraid that you will make money and lose your life?"

Xiang Han just led the Xiang family's children to charge for a while, and the two hundred Qi troops who were ambushing here dispersed before even the following infantry could join the formation.

Looking at Qi Jun running into the night, Xiang Han, who was murderous, ordered without hesitation: "Chase!"

However, just as the order was given, small fire dragons made of torches came into view.

Xiang Han immediately raised his eyes and looked around, and saw dozens of fire dragons of various sizes speeding towards him from the four directions, east, west, north and south.

Xiang Han could only suppress his murderous intent and changed his order: "Send the order to the entire army to disperse and move forward, speeding up to the east!"

"The front part follows my general's side to clear the way for our army!"

……

At the same time, Xiapi City west.

"Raise the fire." Lauder looked to the east and asked in a low voice: "You two, give the order."

However, Zhaoxiang looked at the central camp of the Qin-Qi coalition forces and shook his head: "Wait a little longer."

Lauder frowned and said: "But the commander ordered you and I to attack the camp immediately after seeing the fire on the east side."

"If it is delayed for too long, by the time the Qin army's central army is reorganized, our army will not be attacking the enemy camp at night, but will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth!"

Night attacks are all about surprise.

If we wait until the enemy is well prepared before attacking the camp, is that still called a night attack?
That's called a night attack!

Zhaoxiang said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for the coach to give all instructions clearly."

"It is our duty as generals to make decisions according to the commander's orders."

"How can Lieutenant Lao determine that there are indeed enemy troops in the Qin army's tent?"

Lauder was slightly startled.

Yes.

Since Ying Chengxuan knew that the Chu army was about to withdraw, how could he not prevent the Chu army from launching a surprise attack at the last moment?
Although waiting a little longer would make their night raid that much harder.

But facing someone like Ying Chengqian, no matter how much you seek stability!

Lauder stopped persuading and just continued to lie beside Zhaoxiang and wait patiently.

After more than forty rests, bursts of drums suddenly came from the camp of the Qin-Qi coalition army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Assemble! Arrange!"

"The Chu army is going to flee at night, so assemble the army quickly!"

It wasn't until he heard the shouts from the Qin-Qi coalition camp that Zhaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order!"

"Burn the Qin-Qi coalition camp on fire!"
