Qiang Qin

Chapter 173 Soldiers Arrive in Xianyang

Updated: 2010-10-02

However, the 7 Qin soldiers who pulled up by force became in a dilemma after learning that Hangu Pass had fallen.If what that person said was true, the [-] people who rushed to Hangu Pass would inevitably encounter Fusu's army, and by then these people would have no choice but to die.But if this is just a lie made up by the Fusu people who are afraid that the Qin soldiers will support Hangu Pass so that they can't go there, then they will only die when they return to Xianyang.At this time, even the generals of the Qin army who led them to Hangu Pass were in a difficult situation, so the marching speed of the army became even slower, and they could not travel a few miles a day.If this continues for a month, it may not be possible to reach Hangu Pass, but this is the only way to ensure that he will not be killed, although this is only a temporary expedient measure.

In this way, they walked for another five days. On this day, when they were still moving forward slowly, suddenly there was a large cloud of dust in front of them, and the ground seemed to start to shake.Those Qin soldiers composed of ordinary people had never actually been on the battlefield, so they didn't know what happened. Some looked around in horror, and some looked forward curiously.But the general knew what happened, and hurriedly ordered them to set up their battle formations and prepare for the battle.So those Qin soldiers slowly began to take out their weapons and divided them into several square arrays.But their actions were not only slow, but also chaotic. When they formed their formation, the enemy rushing from the opposite side had already arrived.

I saw that there were no more than 7 troops coming, but the murderous aura was far outmatched by the [-] people. First, a straight soldier sat on the back of a war horse. The Chinese character "Fusu" is shining in the sun.Seeing that it was really the Fusu army coming, the formation that had just been formed just now was in chaos, and they all shouted and retreated in seconds.Seeing the situation, the general immediately scolded him loudly, and the chaotic situation was not under control until he killed two soldiers who were close to him.But this is just superficial. In fact, these soldiers have no courage to fight at all.

The vanguard of this support army was led by Cang Haijun and Han Xin. They were all cavalry, and their purpose was to rush to Xianyang City to put pressure on them, so that they could not think of a way to deal with it in time.

After Fusu occupied Hangu Pass, he only rested for a few days before setting off again. This Hangu Pass is different from the previous city. There are only soldiers and ordinary people in it. Therefore, Fusu does not need to appease as before. The soldiers in Guanzhong brought half of them out to attack Xianyang with themselves.Another reason why he came out so soon was that he was afraid that Ziying would abandon Xianyang and run away after he got the news. He hurriedly sent Han Xin out.

The cavalry were all wearing leather armor to make the horses faster, and each was equipped with a crossbow.At this time, seeing the Qin army in front, those cavalrymen would naturally not be polite, quickly took out the crossbow from behind, loaded it with a sharp arrow, and aimed at the front during the ups and downs, judging that once they entered the range, they would hit the enemy head-on with the crossbow arrow .

Because of the stirrups, they hold the crossbow in one hand, but they can control the reins with the other hand, so that the direction of the horse’s running can be controlled by themselves. When they reach the shooting range, their hands let go of the reins to help hold the crossbow. He stabilized the crossbow machine with his hand, and with a few "swish", thousands of crossbow arrows have been shot out.

Originally, the best way to face the cavalry is to use shield soldiers to protect the front, and then hide behind the soldiers with spears and spears. Once the cavalry rushes to the front, attack them with spears from a long distance. Minimize your casualties.But because of the chaos just now, the order of the Qin soldiers changed. Those soldiers with long weapons stood at the front and took all the arrows that came.Accompanied by a scream, the hundreds of people in the front all fell to the ground with several arrows in their bodies.Then the second wave of arrow rain arrived.After a few waves of arrow rain, thousands of Qin soldiers at the front were killed and injured, and only then were the shield soldiers driven up by the generals from behind.But before they got into formation, the cavalry had already arrived with a strong wind.The crossbows in their hands had been replaced with long spears and knives. With a loud shout, the weapons swung out and hit the side of the shield soldier. After only one encounter, those Qin soldiers also fell to the ground. In a pool of blood.

This cavalry had never thought that fighting would be so easy, and they had killed thousands of enemies without any casualties.This made them very excited. They controlled the horse to turn in a circle on the spot, ran out a few steps, and then turned the horse's head to charge towards the Qin army's formation.But it is to use the horse's sprinting ability to continuously impact the Qin army's formation.

Although the generals shouted their throats, but when they encountered these enemies suddenly, these recruits were completely confused, and they didn't know what to do.The bold ones took their weapons and wanted to go up and fight desperately, but the timid ones shrank back and did not dare to go forward.The situation was even more wrong after such a disturbance, the formation broke itself before the Fusu army came to attack.

In this way, the cavalry were able to let go of their hands and feet. They rushed back and forth in the formation of the Qin army, and killed the [-] Qin soldiers in a short while.At this time, Han Xin, who was behind, already felt that something was a little strange.When he led his men and horses and just ran into these [-] Qin soldiers, he was not worried, after all, the opponent was several times his size.But if you lead the army to retreat at this point, firstly, I am afraid that it will hit the soldiers' determination to win, and secondly, I don't know whether they can escape, so I gave up this idea, and instead listened to Cang Haijun's opinion, and took the initiative to attack and kill The Qin people were caught off guard.Unexpectedly, this attack found something different, this Qin army was so vulnerable.Although they met him without preparation, it was not like this, so Han Xin had already begun to doubt the composition of this Qin army.

Han Xin ordered the soldiers to try to capture a few people alive and bring them to him.Soon, several Qin soldiers who had completely lost their ability to fight were brought to him.Seeing their panic-stricken appearance, Han Xin became more sure of his judgment, but he still asked, "Tell me honestly who you are, but are you the real Qin soldiers?"

Those few people looked at Han Xin's mighty attire and the murderous soldiers around him, and they collapsed to the ground at once, and a bolder one replied: "We are all the people in Xianyang City, just because the emperor can't find us." More soldiers came to assist Hangu Pass, so we were sent here. General, we are involuntary, please spare your life!" Said "bang bang" and kowtowed, and several others followed suit. He kowtowed there.

As soon as Han Xin heard that this was very close to his own judgment, he believed their words and said, "As long as you don't do things for the usurper, Ziying, my lord will naturally forgive you. Come, bring them to Behind." After taking them down, Han Xin issued another order, mainly to capture and surround this Qin army alive, and force them to surrender.

In this way, more and more Qin soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered to Han Xin's army because they saw that their own people who surrendered were not killed.No matter what the generals shouted, they could not stop their behavior, and then those generals who had been organizing the troops to fight against the Fusu army were also killed.After more than three hours, there were less than 7 of the [-] horses left, and they had completely surrendered to Fusu's cavalry, which only had [-]% of their own number.

Seeing the intention of these people to resist, Han Xin ordered people to rush to the back to find Fusu to tell the whole story, while he divided his troops into two groups, one side stayed in place to guard the soldiers of the Qin army, and the other side continued the task just now. Go to Xianyang.

Fusu heard that there was such a thing, and felt that this seemed to be a good opportunity to capture Xianyang, so he brought people there first to find out.When Fusu arrived, it was already late, and those soldiers were preparing to sleep on the spot.Seeing their peaceful appearance, Fu Su was even more sure that they had no intention of resisting at all.So he ordered someone to find a few people to enter his account for questioning.Fusu looked at them, and said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, I, Fusu, will not make things difficult for you, I just want to inquire about the current situation in Xianyang City."

When those people heard that they were facing Fusu who could break through Hangu Pass with an army of tens of thousands, they all showed fear, but seeing that he was not as vicious as they imagined, they slowly relaxed and told Fusu Now that Xianyang City is in dire straits, there are less than [-] people available in the city.Originally, a commoner could not know these things, but because many of them were servants of the officials' families, they still knew some news during the conversation.

Only then did Fusu realize that Xianyang City was weaker than he imagined, and his confidence in taking down Xianyang became stronger.Looking at the appearance of these people, Fusu could guess that the people in the city were not very optimistic about whether the Qin army could hold Xianyang this time, so Fusu decided to strike while the iron was hot, and immediately sent an order to the rear army to catch up and rush to Xianyang at full speed city.And these Qin people Fusu also took them by his side, because he thought of a way to take down Xianyang more easily, that is to let these people come forward to instigate the Qin people in the city, so as to take down Xianyang with limited losses. .

After a few days of hurrying, the Fusu army finally came to the city of Xianyang. Seeing this century-old city, Fusu was really moved.It was only after returning to Shangjun from here that I really made up my mind to compete with Hu Hai for the throne.

As soon as Fusu arrived at the base of the city, Han Xin came to him and said, "Prince, as soon as our army arrived here, the Qin army at the top of the city fired arrows at us, and at the same time there were more defenders at the top of the city. It seems that Ziying is I will swear to defend the city.”

Fu Su nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm [-]% sure to take it off this time!"

The last battle to support Su and defeat Qin is about to start, but the reality seems to be a little different from what he thought.
