The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 780 Ambush [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"So we were wrong from the beginning and miscalculated our opponent!"

Xiang Liang continued to force his explanation.

This can be explained and can barely be explained away.

When two armies engage in battle, the first thing they will do is analyze the enemy commander's character, tactics, etc., so that they can make targeted arrangements.

Just like in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo and Wang Chen were fighting back and forth, but who knew that the Qin army suddenly replaced their generals and directly changed their tactics, causing Zhao Kuo to be defeated.

Now, Xiang Liang also suspected that the Qin army had played the same trick again, replacing generals before the battle. The nominal main generals were Li Xin and Meng Yi, but the actual main generals were the two old guys Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe.

The officers of the Chu army pondered over Xiang Liang's words and nodded in agreement.

The Qin army clearly wanted to destroy Chu, so how could they allow the young Li Xin and Meng Yi to command an army of 200,000?

Who would dare to let a young man command such a large-scale military force, or such a big battle, a war to annihilate a country?

This is like the Xiang clan directly letting Xiang Ji command the entire Tenglong Legion. Is this possible?

This is not the right way to support young people. Doing so is tantamount to forcing things to grow too fast.

"Uncle, have you found a way to break the impasse?" Xiang Ji looked at Xiang Liang expectantly.

Since you can analyze that the other side has changed generals, you should also have ways to deal with it and break the deadlock... right?

"..."Xiang Liang remained silent, not daring to look into the eyes of Xiang Ji and those expectant soldiers.

Wang Jian's style of fighting, which uses his strength to overwhelm his opponents, is the most unstoppable!

What's more, when it comes to using strange tactics, Yang Duanhe and this old guy are also masters, but this guy is too good at hiding himself. He never shows his talents and never stands in the front. He always lets great generals like Wang Xi, Biao Gong, Meng Ao, Wang Jian and Meng Wu overshadow his brilliance. He is even willing to be a supporting role to the younger generation of Wang Ben, Li Xin and others.

The commander may come and go, but Yang Duanhe remains forever.

When it comes to deputy generals, the one most wanted by any commander in the world is Yang Duanhe.

"The key still lies with Ji Er!" Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Ji solemnly.

Facing Wang Jian's style of fighting that uses force to overwhelm the enemy, the most effective and useful tactic is to use the military's situation to break through the surface and destroy the momentum established by the enemy.

Therefore, Xiang Liang forcibly recalled Xiang Ji and his 5,000 elite troops, even if it meant sacrificing 10,000 soldiers to buy time for Xiang Ji to retreat.

On the front battlefield, Xiang Liang stood on the main general's platform.

"General Wang, since General Yang Duanhe is here, why are you hiding and hiding?"

Xiang Liang looked at the Qin army camp and shouted orders loudly.

"?" Li Xin and Meng Yi both looked back subconsciously.

Xiang Liang's shout should not be without purpose, as the two men thought that they had dragged on for too long and Xianyang could not wait any longer, so they transferred Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe to replace them.

However, the Qin army soldiers subconsciously looked towards the central army's banner in the rear and waited silently for a long time, but they did not see the figures of Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe appear under the central army's banner.

Then everyone turned around and looked at the Chu army camp, wondering what Xiang Liang was talking about.

"Aren't you willing to come out and see me?" Xiang Liang was a little angry. He had seen through the other party's plan, but these two old guys, Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe, were still unwilling to come forward.

"General Wang and General Yang are here?" Li Xin looked at Meng Yi and asked.

Meng Yi shook his head. He had not received the transfer order from Xianyang, and they had also received a secret report from Yang Duanhe yesterday. Yang Duanhe was still in Yangdi, so he would not be able to make it in time even if he rode on the Suzaku.

"So, what does Xiang Liang mean? Does he look down on us?" Li Xin became even angrier. He didn't lose, and he was the one who always won. Why did Xiang Liang look down on him and even wanted to skip him and fight with General Wang and General Yang?

"I want to kill him!" Li Xin said to Meng Yi angrily.

"I want to too!" Meng Yi felt the same way.

Why would this trash who always loses every time he fights with me look down on me!

"All three armies, listen up! Go get him!" Li Xin raised the command flag with all his strength and commanded his men.

The entire Qin army began to move as the military order was issued.

The anger of Li Xin and Meng Yi obviously affected the entire Qin army. Although they did not understand why Li Xin and Meng Yi were angry, the main general and the deputy general were angry. If they did not work harder, they would be the ones who would be in trouble.

As a result, the entire Qin army was angry.

"???"

Looking at the Qin army who were desperate because of anger, Xiang Liang was also a little confused.

What did he say wrong that caused the Qin army to suddenly burst into such anger and fighting spirit.

But it doesn't matter. It is a big taboo in military strategy to raise an army out of anger.

I have freed Xiang Ji myself, isn't the purpose to break the surface with a single point?

Both sides began their own command and battlefield games.

Even though the Chu army was losing ground, Xiang Liang was not panicked at all. As long as the Qin army showed a flaw, Xiang Ji could suddenly join the battlefield and break through it!

He was just waiting for the angry Qin army to reveal its flaws.

"It's almost time to give the other side some hope!" Meng Yi stopped Li Xin from moving forward.

At their level, how could they be swayed by emotions?

Anger only makes the soldiers under his command burst out with greater fighting spirit, and also gives the enemy the illusion that he is raising an army out of anger.

Everything was just a foreshadowing for them to kill Xiang Ji and the elite members of the Tenglong Legion!

"It appeared!" Without Xiang Liang saying anything, Xiang Ji, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, also saw the flaws of the Qin army. He directly led 5,000 elite soldiers under his command to join the battlefield and rushed towards the flaws that appeared on the battlefield of the Qin army.

It was a plain area, with no mountains, forests or gullies around it, and no defensive fortifications set up by the Qin army. Moreover, the left and right armies were also pinned down by the Chu army. Once they rushed into the battlefield, they could rush towards the Qin army's center army through the flaws and wreak havoc.

"Here they come!" Seeing Xiang Ji and the Tenglong Legion appear on the battlefield.

Li Xin and Meng Yi smiled and put away the telescopes.

They set up three loopholes for the Chu army and didn't believe that the Chu army would not be fooled.

Xiang Ji led 5,000 elite soldiers of the Tenglong Legion and rushed into one of the flawed positions that could cause relatively less casualties to the Qin army. They were not stupid. Among the three flaws of the Qin army, one could directly threaten the safety of the central army. It was obviously a trap set by the Qin army.

So they chose a small flaw that could only disrupt the formation of the Qin army's left camp.

They don't need to win all the battles in one go, they just need to take advantage of the momentum created by the Qin army and then build upon it slowly.

You can’t get fat in one bite!

Xiang Ji, who rushed into the battlefield and stepped into the Qin army's position, suddenly felt his eyelids twitching. He subconsciously pulled his horse and wanted to order a retreat, but seeing that there were no traps and no army coming to block their position, Xiang Ji finally thought that he might have been targeted by the sharpshooters in the Qin army instead of falling into a trap.
