My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.
Chapter 739 The military book is wrong, the ancient sages misled me! Your name will not be recorded
Chapter 739 The military book is wrong, the ancient sages misled me! Your name will not be recorded in history, and I will not bother to care about you!
Ren You's general flag fell silently to the ground.
But the impact it caused was like a bolt from the blue.
There were indeed only a thousand or so knights following Ren You, but further behind, there were more than two thousand cavalrymen who were struggling to resist the Qin army's infiltration, waiting for the general's order with eager eyes.
As a result, the flag is gone?
What's the point of resisting?
"The captain is dead, our army is defeated! Escape!"
"Quick! Return to the formation!"
"I surrender! Don't kill me!"
In an instant, the will to resist of Ren You's cavalry and infantry completely collapsed.
Some of the Zhao soldiers lined up on the outermost layer threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
More than 2,000 remaining Zhao soldiers turned around without hesitation, holding their crossbows and guns and running wildly!
According to military books, Ying Chengjiao should order the left and right wings to close together at this moment, just like a wild goose closing its wings, to hold these remaining soldiers in his arms and devour them all.
But Ying Chengjiao shouted loudly: "After the left and right wings are under my control, follow my army and press forward!"
"Order the two commanders, Commander Qiang Huai and Commander Meng Nan, to accompany us on the left and right sides behind us."
"Order the troops of Commander Meng Tian and Commander Ren Xiao to quickly annihilate the troops of Commander Ren You of Zhao!"
"Then the troops under Commandant Meng Tian moved to the north side of the Zhao army, and Commandant Ren Xiao moved to the south side of the Zhao army, each forming a square formation."
"Send a message to Captain Xifeng to hide among our troops!"
"Listen to my command! Hold your bows! Drive the Zhao army's defeated soldiers towards Zhao General Hu Qiong's troops!"
While shouting, Ying Chengjiao slowed down the horse under his crotch, took out the short bow behind him, aimed at a Zhao soldier running southward, drew the bow and released an arrow.
Behind Ying Chengjiao, hundreds of his family soldiers drew their short bows from behind and continued to guide the direction of the Zhao army's fleeing soldiers in front of them with killing and death!
Zhao Cong's face turned gloomy when he saw this. A thin layer of sweat even seeped out of his forehead. He muttered in a low voice: "This is different from what the military book says!"
"All military books say that if you encounter a goose-shaped formation, you should charge into it, and that way you can defeat the enemy."
"Now I sent my elite troops to attack the goose formation, but not only did I fail to defeat the enemy, but I caused my elite troops to be defeated!"
Although Zhao Cong knew that the personal soldiers led by Ying Chengjiao must be brave, which goose-shaped formation's central position was not manned by a brave general?
This is what is written in military books, and this is how Zhao Cong has always fought when he was discussing military strategy with others in the court!
The ancients misled me!
Sima Shang said anxiously, "Commander-in-chief, the defeated soldiers of Commandant Ren have already rushed towards Commandant Hu's troops."
"What should our army do? Please give us your instructions, Commander!"
Zhao Cong forced himself to calm down and shouted solemnly: "Pass on my order!"
"Those who disrupt the formation will be killed without mercy!"
"Order Captain Hu Qiong to stabilize the formation and block the Qin army. If there are any fleeing soldiers attacking the formation, they can be killed at will!"
"Order Commandant Huang Gao to turn north and block the right wing of Commandant Hu Qiong's troops!"
"Commander Sima, I remember that Lord Wu'an has ambushed 30,000 soldiers around the Yangyi Valley?"
Sima Shang was slightly startled, and hurriedly said: "The Qin army has not yet completely entered our encirclement."
"Moreover, the Fushan defenders have not yet broken through the Qin army's blockade and blocked the Qin army's retreat."
"If we order the ambush troops to attack now, I'm afraid that not only will we fail to achieve the effect of encircling and annihilating the Qin army, but the Qin army will also know that we have set up an ambush here, and will be more vigilant."
Zhao Cong laughed at himself and said, "How can I be capable of encircling and annihilating Qin Chang'an Jun?"
"Pass this general's order!"
"Get out of the ambush!"
"Commander Sima, lead your troops to guard the center!"
Zhao Cong originally wanted to use Li Mu's trick to hold on for a few more days.
Therefore, Zhao Cong did not easily change Li Mu's arrangement to avoid being noticed by the Qin army.
But Ying Chengjiao obviously already knew the fact that the Zhao army had changed generals before the battle, and he gave Zhao Cong a big gift as soon as Zhao Cong took over the position of commander-in-chief!
In this situation, are you still thinking of continuing Li Mu's arrangement and encircling and annihilating Ying Chengjiao's troops?
Is Zhao Cong worthy?
Zhao Cong now only wants to remain undefeated at all costs.
Leave the mess behind to Li Mu!
Seeing that Zhao Cong had made up his mind, all the generals had no choice but to bow and agree:
"only!"
The command flag conveyed Zhao Cong's order to the front, but Hu Qiong could not be happy at all.
In fact, long before Zhao Cong gave the order, Hu Qiong, who knew Zhao Cong's strength, had already ordered his crossbowmen to aim at the fleeing soldiers and shoot crossbow arrows.
However, the problems Hu Qiong faces are not just these defeated soldiers!
"All the fleeing soldiers running towards our army will be killed without mercy!" Hu Qiong shouted anxiously, "Order the left, right, and rear divisions to return to the battle immediately!"
"Order the front to engage the enemy at all costs!"
"Quick! Quick!!!"
No one expected that Ren You’s troops would fall so quickly!
Even Hu Qiong, who was very close to the battlefield, believed that Ren You could at least turn around and charge out of the Qin army formation.
Therefore, Hu Qiong always ordered his troops to go out in all directions, harass and disrupt the Qin army's formation, and maintain a retreat route for Ren You's troops.
result!
Ren You never came back!
This directly led to the fact that when Ying Chengjiao led his troops to attack, Hu Qiong's troops still maintained a loose harassment formation!
Seeing Ying Chengjiao's troops approaching, Hu Qiong became determined and roared angrily, "Central troops, listen to my orders!"
"The square formation holds firm!"
Even though Hu Qiong shouted repeatedly, he was unable to recall all the troops and organize the battle array before Ying Chengjiao's troops arrived.
Hu Qiong had no choice but to lead the central troops to form a square formation and use spears to resist the Qin army's offensive!
However, after looking around the battlefield, Ying Chengjiao did not choose to take on this tough challenge. Instead, he issued a series of orders: "Order the troops at the western front to leave the battle formation and turn north!" "Go around and move forward to flank the enemy!"
"Central troops, listen up! Turn south!"
At a command, the Western Front troops hiding in Ying Chengjiao's formation split out.
The two armies avoided the middle of the Huqiong army that was lined up in front of them like the two claws of a crab, and rushed diagonally towards the other Zhao troops that were fleeing!
The infantrymen holding long spears and forming a forest of spears were a natural barrier for the cavalry.
But a single spearman who had never been in formation was like a blade of grass when facing the cavalry!
"Run! Quick! As long as we return to the formation, we can survive!"
"Get out of the way! No!!!"
"We request to form a battle array here to resist the Qin army!"
Seeing Ying Chengjiao's troops cutting a bloody path through the bushes on the left side of his command, Hu Qiong roared angrily: "Turn left!"
"Qin Chang'an Jun is so famous, why did he only slaughter our scattered soldiers?"
"The Great Zhao Commander Hu Qiong is here. Do you, Lord Qin Chang'an, dare to fight me?!"
Ying Chengjiao glanced in the direction of Hu Qiong following the sound, and the long spear in his hand pierced through another Zhao army soldier.
There is no record of you in history, and I won’t bother with you!
Seeing this, Hu Qiong roared even more angrily: "Lord Qin Chang'an, are you afraid of me?"
However, Hu Qiong still did not receive a response from Ying Chengjiao, but only a loud shout.
"You rat! How dare you challenge the Lord of Chang'an, the Great Qin!"
After Xi Feng drove his chariot to the north of Hu Qiong's troops, he accelerated his horse without hesitation and charged in the direction of Hu Qiong, shouting angrily: "Here is Xi Feng, the commander of the Qin army. You rats, prepare to die!"
Hu Qiong:!!!
Looking back and seeing the Western Front launching the charge, all the people of Hu Qiong were stunned.
Why were Xifeng’s troops able to charge so far?
Where is Huang Gao? !
Shouldn’t Huang Gao’s troops be stationed to the north of ours?
Gazing into the distance, Hu Qiong saw that Huang Gao's troops had already been tightly entangled by Meng Tian's troops, unable to move at all!
Feeling bitter, Hu Qiong had to immediately shout, "Turn the gun formation north!"
"Disperse the formation!"
"Resist the Qin Army's chariots!"
However, after Hu Qiong's troops turned their guns to the north, Ying Chengjiao pulled the reins again and shouted in a deep voice: "Northward!"
"The target is the middle of the Huqiong area of Zhao Duwei."
"rush ahead!"
More than a thousand cavalrymen shouted excitedly: "Kill!!!"
The scattered formation listed by Hu Qiong can effectively reduce the damage caused by chariot charges.
But it also allows the cavalry to run rampant in the formation!
The originally solid formation, after only two adjustments, had become the most suitable shape for cavalry charges.
There was no chance for Hu Qiong to adjust again. More than a thousand knights led by Ying Chengjiao charged in from the south side of Hu Qiong's troops!
He pierced the back of a Zhao soldier's head with his halberd, and then drove his horse to knock down two Zhao soldiers. Looking at Hu Qiong not far away, Ying Chengjiao shouted angrily: "I am here!"
"Captain Zhao, Hu Qiong, come and fight!"
Hu Qiong tightly grasped the spear in both hands and looked at Ying Chengjiao with rapid breathing.
With only the troops in the center, Hu Qiong had no idea how to deal with the charge launched from the left and right sides by a cavalry and a chariot.
In other words, no general can turn the tide in such a battle situation!
But now, the hope of a turnaround has come to Hu Qiong.
As long as we can kill Ying Chengjiao here, the Qin army will collapse without a fight!
As for Li Mu’s reminder?
The most powerful general of the Qin Dynasty is Su Jiao, not Ying Chengjiao!
Although Su Jiao is brave, according to Hu Qiong's observation, he is not invincible.
Even though Ying Chengjiao is somewhat brave, he should not be much braver than an ordinary warrior.
Moreover, Ying Chengjiao has been charging into the front since the beginning of the war, and he must be exhausted.
On the other hand, I have been strengthening my muscles since childhood and learning martial arts from my grandfather. I am also a famous and fierce general of the Great Zhao!
This time we will wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and fight!
After a quick calculation in his mind, Hu Qiong held the gun in both hands and roared angrily: "Don't rely on the power of heaven and earth and the bravery of the soldiers to fulfill your reputation!"
"I will now go with you in front of the entire army."
"It's a matter of life or death!"
With a roar, Hu Qiong kicked his horse's belly and led fifteen family knights to leave the center of the army formation and charge towards Ying Chengjiao!
Ying Chengjiao looked at Hu Qiong with some confusion.
Could it be that what this person said just now was to provoke me to not call on my soldiers for help, but to fight this general head-on?
While thinking, Ying Chengjiao casually stabbed out with a halberd and hit Hu Qiong in the throat!
"Ho~ho~"
The warhorse under his crotch was galloping, and Hu Qiong's entire body weight was pressed on the tip of the halberd. His eyes were full of astonishment and fear when he looked at Ying Chengjiao.
In front of such figures, how could Su Jiao be hailed as the most powerful general of the Qin Dynasty?
The rumors misled me!
Unfortunately, all of Hu Qiong's curses and cries could only turn into airflow mixed with blood foam, splashing out from his throat.
All of Hu Qiong's struggles were useless. He could only watch as Ying Chengjiao raised his halberd and shouted loudly: "The enemy general is dead!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
