Chapter 779: Forcibly Save Respect [Please Subscribe*Please Pass the Monthly Ticket]

What disgusted Xiang Ji the most was that Li Xin did not allow the elite Qin army to confront the elite Tenglong Corps led by him.

He kept pulling in Qin's shield guards and miscellaneous soldiers to restrain him and consume their physical strength.

As the elite of the Tenglong Legion, which is mainly composed of cavalry, they have to engage in positional warfare with the shield guards who are armed to the teeth and as tough as a feather in the mountainous terrain and well-fortified terrain.

What's even more disgusting is that once there are signs of the formation being broken, these shield guards will rely on the terrain and formation to retreat directly into the mountains or retreat to the rear, making Xiang Ji dare not to chase them even if he wants to.

As for other battlefields, Xiang Liang was sweating profusely, and all the positions and fronts were defeated by the Qin army.

The only elite battalion of Xiang Ji that he had high hopes for, hoping to be able to make unstoppable progress and break through the enemy's defenses, was stuck by the shield guards and was unable to make any breakthrough.

"The young master of the Xiang family is quite powerful!"

In the central army tent, Li Xin and Meng Yi looked at the good situation but did not take it lightly.

They used the shield guards, which were not restricted by any other type of troops, to contain the 5,000 elite soldiers of the Tenglong Legion led by Xiang Ji, but they were still forced to retreat.

I have to say that this is still very powerful.

"In fact, Bingzhou is very good at dealing with cavalry and these powerful generals!" Meng Yi said with a smile.

In terms of military situation, who is more powerful than General Dianqing, the Imperial Guard?

He was a powerful man who had cultivated the horizontal training to the level of a half-step master, so all the armies in Bingzhou had regarded Dian Qing as an imaginary enemy and naturally developed many kinds of combat methods.

Although Xiang Ji was often defeated by Dian Qing's tremendous strength, he was still young and could not match the might of Dian Qing.

"Please speak, Chief Secretary!" Li Xin asked humbly.

"The first one is to find a strong general and fight the opponent head-on!" Meng Yi said with a smile.

You are strong, so I just need to find someone stronger than you. We can play a head-on game together. The winner takes everything, and the loser naturally loses everything.

Li Xin frowned. Although the Qin army was brave and the Ruishi Battalion could naturally fight against the elite of the Tenglong Legion, the Ruishi Battalion itself was the treasure of the Qin State, and the sacrifice of one of them would make them feel heartbroken for a long time.

"What else?" Li Xin continued to ask.

Meng Yi smiled, knowing that Li Xin would not choose such a desperate battle.

"The second method is what the general used before, which is to constantly delay the enemy and prevent them from joining the frontal battlefield. After the outcome of the frontal battlefield is decided, the role of this elite force will naturally be gone!"

Li Xin frowned. He could do it this way, but it took too long.

It took the Bingzhou cavalry and navy less than a day to completely wipe out the 70,000 Chu troops. They had been dragging on for a month and a half in order to force the Tenglong Legion to fight a decisive battle with them in Pingyu. If they drag on any longer, how will Xianyang and the world view them?
People all over the world will think that Qin is not as good as Bingzhou. Under public opinion, although Xianyang and the king will not force them to end the battle quickly, they will also be disappointed in them. Even if they destroy Chu, the reward for military merit may be reduced by a level.

"Is there a third option?" Li Xin asked.

"Restrict the performance of powerful generals and cavalry!" Meng Yi knew that the first two options would not be Li Xin's choice, so he spoke of the third option.

"How to restrict him? Although Xiang Ji is young and energetic, he is not unfamiliar with tactics and his battlefield intuition is also very high. It will be difficult to lure him into a trap if we set an ambush." ​​Li Xin said seriously.

They also tried many times to set ambushes and lure Xiang Ji into traps, but Xiang Ji had a very high battlefield intuition and was not fooled.

"Lay layers of fishing nets on the ground, and then cover them with weeds, sand and stones. The nets don't need to be very strong, and the more broken they are, the better." "Once the cavalry charges, the broken nets will get entangled in the horses' hooves. At first, there will be no visible effect, but quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. If there are too many entanglements, the cavalry's speed will be forced to slow down, and eventually the horses will be restrained by the nets..."

Meng Yi spoke bit by bit.

This kind of tactic had been experimented with in Bingzhou, and the Yulin Cavalry had suffered a great loss. If Dian Qing had not been truly invincible, perhaps the Yulin Cavalry would have really been defeated in that show.

"So insidious!" Li Xin was stunned. He could imagine the scene of the warhorse falling to the ground after its feet were entangled in the fishing net.

Moreover, they used extremely strong and tough fishing nets to restrict the cavalry's charge from the beginning, so it was difficult to be discovered. By the time they were discovered, the entire cavalry had fallen into the trap and could not retreat.

"But I like it!" Li Xin smiled again.

Soldiers who, deception also.

There is only victory and defeat, no question of being sinister or not!
As long as I can win, it doesn’t matter if I’m ten times more insidious.

"In addition, fishing nets are also very useful against a fierce general like Xiang Ji. Just cast one tough fishing net after another. Within ten nets, he will be unable to move!" Meng Yi continued.

That was how they tricked Dian Qing in the first place.

It's a pity that they underestimated Dian Qing's strength and iron head and arms, and they were torn to pieces one by one. Moreover, no one expected that Dian Qing, a master of horizontal training, actually learned the second lady's fire charm technique in a sneaky way.

So the fishing net could originally restrain this kind of horizontal training master, but it had no effect on Dian Qing who was covered in flames.

"Let's do it!" Li Xin laughed. Even Dian Qing and Yulin Cavalry were almost defeated by this insidious tactic. How could Xiang Ji and Tenglong Legion still turn the tables?

In the camp of the Tenglong Legion of the Chu Army, Xiang Liang also recalled Xiang Ji.

They have to recall the shares. They are in urgent need of a change in the situation, otherwise they will suffer a slow death.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to break the deadlock, but the Qin army is too disgusting!" Xiang Ji had no place to vent his anger, so he could only speak depressedly.

When encountering a purely meaty warrior like the Shield Guard, even if you replace him with the Bingzhou Blood Knight, he may not be able to achieve anything.

What's more, this group of pens are obviously capable of fighting them in close combat, but they insist on relying on formations and positions!

Xiang Liang sighed. Actually, Xiang Ji could not be blamed, as he himself had some big problems.

The elite cavalry of Xiang Ji and the Tenglong Legion should have been able to serve as surprise troops to support other battlefields and break the situation.

Unfortunately, he was unable to make use of the advantage of his cavalry. He was defeated by the Qin army at the beginning of the battle and was entangled by the shield guards, making it impossible for Xiang Ji to retreat.

This was not Xiang Ji's fault, but a problem with him as the commander.

If the advantages of one type of troops cannot be brought into play, that is the problem of the main general rather than the subordinate generals.

However, Xiang Liang still hasn't figured out until now how they fell into the Qin army's trap step by step and were led by the Qin army.

Li Xin was too young. He could never believe that he lost to Li Xin. He looked down on young players like Li Xin and Meng Yi from the bottom of his heart.

"We are not facing Li Xin and Meng Yi, but Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe, two old foxes!" Xiang Liang tried to save his reputation. "Li Xin has been known for his eccentricity since his debut, but in this battle, he used his overwhelming power to overwhelm the opponent. Only old fellow Wang Jian is good at this kind of fighting method."
