Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-09-22

Because the Qin army was delayed in the mountains for a long time, the distance from the Chu army was also pulled away, but fortunately, the Qin army's cavalry was fast enough, so Zhang Han ordered them to rush forward first, and he Followed closely with the Chinese army.Because Zhang Han predicted that once the Chu army retreated completely, they would no longer be able to organize an effective counterattack, so he was very sure that tens of thousands of cavalry would attack the more than [-] Chu army.

When Liu Bang was approaching Sishui City, he saw the smoke and dust behind him, and thought it was the Qin army's brigade, but he didn't know that it was the smoke and dust brought by Qin's cavalry galloping fast.Seeing this posture, Liu Bang knew that if he retreated with the army, he might be killed by the Qin army from behind and suffer heavy losses, so he ordered the army to stop, and at the same time put the most elite soldiers in the general at the back. Prepare to fight the Qin army.

Because he thought that all the Qin army was chasing from behind, so he had to set up a large formation to fight the Qin army, which would take a long time.But this time only the tens of thousands of cavalry from the Qin army were chasing them, and their speed was extremely fast. Before the Chu army's brigade formed, their men had already arrived.When they were still an arrow away from the Chu army, they had already stretched their crossbows and shot. It happened that the elite of Chu soldiers ran to the back, but they were not ready to fight, so they just ran into them head-on like locusts Many Chu soldiers were shot into hedgehogs as soon as they reached their positions.

When the cavalrymen of the Qin army saw that their flurry of arrows had knocked down thousands of Chu soldiers, their morale was greatly boosted.This killed the Chu army by surprise. Although the number of the Qin army was only [-]% of that of the Chu army, but because they had the upper hand and the Chu army basically had no fighting spirit, they rushed the Chu army into chaos, making it difficult for them to fight. The Chu soldiers could only fight back with the ability to parry and dodge.This made this cavalry overjoyed, and began to forget that they were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. They only knew that they were quick for a while, rushing left and right in the Chu army formation, rushing back and forth, and thousands of people fell on the ground. under their swords.

But after all, Liu Bang is not a person who is completely ignorant of soldiers, and with Xiao He by his side, they soon discovered that the number of Qin soldiers who were chasing after them was not too many, and their backup troops did not seem to be that big. Hurry up.Only then did Liu Bang know that the delaying effect of the ambush on the Qin army was still obvious. After knowing this, Liu Bang's flustered heart began to calm down again, and he began to order the soldiers to attack Qin with long weapons such as spears and spears. The cavalry of the army carried out long-range attacks and kills.Because the cavalry of the Qin army were not equipped with stirrups and other things like the cavalry of Fusu, they could only control the galloping horse by clamping the belly of the horse with their legs and holding the rein tightly with one hand, which made them hold the horse in their hands. The sword can only be a short sword that can be controlled with one hand. In this case, although the cavalry is better than the infantry in terms of flexibility and impact, once the infantry surrounds them with long weapons, they will not be able to attack. It was Fake Shi who had no choice but to be stabbed to death.

In a short while, more than a thousand cavalrymen of the Qin army were stabbed to the ground by the spears and daggers of the Chu army. This also aroused the fighting spirit of the Chu army and began to counterattack the Qin soldiers.There is a horse that specializes in spears to step down on the cavalry. Once the horse is injured and falls to the ground and throws the cavalry off its back, other units of the Chu army will come forward and kill them with knives (swords, sticks) .There are also those archers who shot the enemy to death with one arrow while the cavalry was galloping.

The counterattack of the Chu army reminded the generals who led the troops that Zhang Han ordered them to catch up, which was to try every means to prevent the Chu army from retreating, but not to let them start a fierce battle with the Chu army on the spot.But it was too late to think of this at this time. The cavalry of the Qin army who were greedy for victory and do not know what to lose had been surrounded by the Chu army and separated from each other by the Chu army. It was difficult to form a formation to attack the Chu army.

But fortunately, the Qin army is well equipped, and the personal combat effectiveness of the Qin army is much higher than that of the Chu army, so even though the Chu army is at a disadvantage, it is not so easy for the Chu army to eat them.

Liu Bang was overjoyed seeing the Qin army surrounded by his own troops, and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the most powerful army in the Qin army.But then he found that it would take a long time to completely get rid of these tens of thousands of people. I am afraid that when he killed all the cavalry, the Qin army's brigade would arrive soon. People and horses will be buried with them.So Liu Bang immediately ordered his pawns to trap the Qin army while ordering them to retreat towards Surabaya. Now he can't afford to delay for too long.In this way, the Chu army's damage to the Qin army was much smaller, which also allowed some cavalry to take care of each other, and then began to gather together, preparing to attack the Chu army again, causing their formation to be scattered.

Just when Liu Bang wanted to attack but was afraid that the main force of the Qin Army would arrive, and when he wanted to retreat but was blocked by the cavalry of the Qin Army. When he was in a dilemma, there were bursts of hoofbeats and shouts of killing from the direction of Surabaya City. , I was seeing a group of men and horses rushing towards them. Although they wore the same clothes as the sergeants under my command, their vigor was not comparable to that of my Chu army.Among the incoming troops was a big banner with the word "Xiang" written on it, flying like dragons and phoenixes. The first general, wearing a chain mail, stepped off a black horse, full of murderous looks, and it was Xiang Yu who came.

Zhang Han rushed forward with his troops. Although he said that he wanted to catch up with the Chu people as soon as possible, in case they entered Sishui City, it would be difficult to fight, but he knew in his heart that if the army marched too fast, they would be defeated by the Chu people. When going to the Chu people, they will lose all their vigor, and I am afraid that they will not get any advantage in a battle with the Chu people, so they are not in a hurry to urge the army to hurry on their way.Of course, this is also because Zhang Han believes that the 3 cavalry will surely be able to catch up with the large Chu army, and the [-] cavalry is not small. It's not hard to keep them.

However, when he led the army to the place where the Chu army and the Qin army cavalry were fighting, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.I saw that the plain was full of corpses, including those from the Chu army and Qin army. It seemed that the [-] cavalry had all died. "How could this be? Our army's cavalry is strong enough to fight five against one, so how could they be killed by the Chu army? Besides, the corpses of the Chu army here are not as many as our army's. Why?" Zhang Zhang Han turned pale and said to himself.Then he ordered people to say: "Search quickly in the field to see if there are any living people in our army."

The soldiers under his command were also surprised, and hurriedly followed Zhang Han's order and began to search for it in the Shura field.The corpses on the ground were all wounded by weapons such as knives or spears before they died, and the horses of the cavalry were also wounded several times, which shows the fierceness of this battle. Among them, several horses are extremely tenacious and still survive. When they were alive, when they saw their own people coming, they yelled "咴咴" in their mouths, and tears flowed from their eyes.

"General, there's a living one here!" After a lot of hard work, someone finally dug out a cavalryman who had passed out due to his injuries. His mouth and nose were still breathing, but his body was covered with blood. I don't know if it was his own or someone else splashed it.As soon as he heard that he was still alive, Zhang Han hurriedly ordered someone to carry him here, and then ordered the doctor accompanying the army to give him a diagnosis and treatment immediately.

After some treatment, the man finally woke up, and he was relieved when he saw Zhang Han in front of him.Zhang Han hurriedly asked: "What happened here? Why did all [-] cavalrymen of our army die here?"

"The subordinates followed my General Huang all the way to kill the Chu army, and we just caught up here. The Chu army was defeated by us because of insufficient preparation for a while. But the general forgot General Zhang's order because of a small victory for a while. , causing the army to fall into the enemy's siege." The man said intermittently, "But even though the Chu army surrounded our army, they couldn't wipe us out."

"If that's the case, why did you annihilate the entire army? It is absolutely impossible for the Chu army to kill all the elite cavalry of our Great Qin in such a short period of time." Zhang Han asked strangely when he interrupted him.

"Just because at this time a Chu army suddenly came, and their combat power was superior to ours. In addition, they waited for work with leisure, and they completely smashed our formation in one fell swoop. Together with the Chu army that is several times ours, Army, our army was defeated by them just like that." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the tragedy of this battle, and he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, because the robes who ate and lived with him unexpectedly all died in this battle. Died in battle.

Zhang Han asked suspiciously: "Why did the Chu army get new troops? If you look carefully, are they really from Chu?"

"That's right, my subordinates can see clearly that the armor they wear is exactly the same as that of the Chu army, but the banner they use is not the word 'Chu' but the word 'Xiang'." Fatigued and passed out again.

Zhang Han ordered someone to take him down to rest, then he stood up and said to himself: "If there is still an army of tens of thousands of soldiers in Chu State, it is Xiang Yu's, but he has already had a grudge with the Chu people. He will bring troops to rescue, and this city of Sishui is hundreds of miles away from Jiujiang County, how could his army come here?" The doubts in his heart were difficult to solve for a while.

At this time, Wang Li came up and said, "General, except for this man who was not found by the Chu army because he was covered by the body, the other soldiers have been killed by the Chu people. What should we do next, should we enter Sishui City or Return to Xianyang, please show me the general."

"Our army has suffered heavy losses. If I withdraw my troops here, how can I go to see my relatives in Guanzhong? Now I can only vent my hatred by taking down the land of Chu!" Zhang Han said in a deep voice, his tone full of suppressed anger.
