At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 34, Ambush in the Forest

October 35, the 10th year of the First Emperor's reign, at noon.

When the prefect and county lieutenant of Chen County received news of Meng Shao's request for help, they immediately dispatched a group of cavalry to support Meng Shao. The cavalry galloped for a long time before meeting up with Meng Shao and the others.

Meng Shao was overjoyed and pointed to the cavalry commander not far away in the direction of Xu Fan's cavalry and said: "Kill all these rebels, I will ask Xianyang City for your credit!"

The commander of the cavalry camp said happily: "My subordinates must bring the rebel heads to the general!"

Although the Qin Dynasty was awarded titles for military merit, no one in the Qin army has ever been promoted from a soldier to a general. It is already the limit for ordinary people to become commanders. If they want to rise further, they can only get the appreciation of the powerful. Lord Wu'an Bai Qi relied on the appreciation of Ranghou Wei Ran to be reused by King Qin Zhao.

The cavalry commander has not been promoted for more than ten years. He also understands that he lacks a Bole. Meng Shao is a high-ranking official and a member of the Great Qin Palace. He has access to the highest levels of the Great Qin. If he can be appreciated by Meng Shao, he said Maybe you can become famous.

So the cavalry commander excitedly pulled out the sword in his hand and said in the direction of Xu Fan: "Brothers, follow Nai Gong and kill all these rebels, kill!"

"Kill!" Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed toward Xu Fan and the others at full speed.

When Xu Fan saw the cavalry of the Qin Army approaching, he felt bad. There were not many real war horses on the rebel side. Most of them were riding horses to count. Naturally, the running speed was not as fast as the war horses, and the rebels Most of the soldiers could only barely control their horses, and Xu Fan even had to rely on the help of stirrups to barely control the horses. Fighting against the elites of the Qin army at their level was simply looking for death.

Seeing the arrival of the Qin army's cavalry, Xu Fan immediately said to his men: "Withdraw the entire army to Xingshan."

Although Xingshan is a small hill, neither high nor big, it has a large forest, which is enough to stop the Qin army's pursuit.

Before the Qin cavalry took action, Xu Fan fled with his men.

How could the Qin army's cavalry let Xu Fan escape with his military exploits? They chased him all the way and kept firing arrows. However, Xu Fan's men had too many horses that were not war horses and were pulled down. More than a dozen soldiers were shot to death by the Qin army.

Xu Fan could only order his men to continuously use bows and crossbows to counterattack, but it was a pity that it was in vain. Mounted archery was not something soldiers like Xu Fan could do, and could only temporarily hinder the enemy's speed. Fortunately, Xu Fan and others were familiar with the geographical location of Yang County, and finally they all escaped into Xingshan Mountain.

The Qin army's cavalry stopped advancing outside the mountains and forests. It is the simplest military common sense not to advance into the woods. The cavalry commander was also worried about being ambushed by the enemy.

But Xu Fan and others had no such scruples. They fled into the mountains and forests, and found that they had escaped Qin's pursuit, so they dismounted to rest.

Because Xu Fan was blocking the enemy from behind, several long arrows from the enemy were already stuck in his body. Wu Sheng carefully pulled out the long arrows stuck in Xu Fan's body.

Fortunately, Xu Fan was wearing double-layer armor, including a set of iron armor. He looked like he was covered with arrows, but these bows and arrows did not cause much damage to Xu Fan.

Wu Sheng thought for a while and said: "General, we have been blocking the enemy for a day. Now the enemy's cavalry has arrived. Our army should prioritize preserving its strength and join the main force first."

Just when Xu Fan was about to agree, the soldiers monitoring the Qin army from the rear came over and said: "General, it's bad, the Qin army rushed into the woods."

It turned out that the Qin Army's cavalry garrison commander was unwilling to let his chance of promotion slip away. In addition, he despised Xu Fan and other rebels in his heart, so he left 10 soldiers outside the forest to watch the horses, while he took the remaining soldiers with him. Continue to pursue Xu Fan and the others. In his opinion, it is just the rebellion of the hundred and ten people. Even if there is an ambush, the rebellion cannot be his opponent.

Xu Fan thought for a while and said: "We must teach these Qin troops a lesson and severely damage this cavalry, otherwise we will be the ones being harassed."

The cavalry's mobility is too strong, and its ability to contain harassment poses too great a threat to the rebels. Xu Fanke remembered that Cao Cao used his tiger and leopard cavalry to attack for 300 miles, beating Liu Bei and almost wiping out his entire army. Even if he harassed the rebels like himself, he couldn't stand it.

If this cavalry is not dealt with, even if the rebels defend tightly, they will eventually be overtaken by the main force of the Qin army. Therefore, when he heard that the Qin army's cavalry was pursuing them into the mountains and forests, Xu Fan's first thought was to destroy this cavalry.

Xu Fan led his soldiers deeper into Xingshan Mountain and found a slope suitable for ambush. As long as the enemy came here, they would be flanked by the highlands on both sides.

He ordered the soldiers to cut down the surrounding vines and shrubs and put them on his body. The simple ghillie uniforms were ready. Then the soldiers ambush on the hillsides on both sides. Looking from a distance, there was no trace of anyone here at all. The crossbows were strung, ready to attack the Qin army at any time.

"Hurry, hurry up, don't let these rebels escape." The Qin army followed Xu Fan's footsteps and, under the leadership of the cavalry commander, plunged into Xu Fan's ambush.

"Kill!" Xu Fan's shout was a slogan. All the soldiers stood up and shot at the Qin army down the hillside with their bows and crossbows.

"Boohoo!" The distance between the Qin army and the rebel army was no more than 30 steps. These 80 crossbow arrows were fierce and accurate, and they felled more than Qin troops in an instant.

"Kill!" Xu Fan took the lead and charged towards the Qin army who had been stunned by the crossbow arrows.

The Qin army panicked to resist, but in the eyes of the Qin army soldiers at this time, a group of monster-like things rushed towards them. They bared their teeth and claws and were extremely terrifying. It seemed that the entire forest had become their enemy. The soldiers were frightened and moved closer to each other. Gain a sense of security, but after all, the Qin Army's combat effectiveness is superior to that of the rebels. Even in the face of so many unfavorable situations, the Qin Army is not at a disadvantage on the battlefield.

After Xu Fan noticed this situation, he decided to capture the thief first and capture the king first. He rushed straight to the cavalry commander. He first cut down several Qin troops blocking his way, then rushed straight in front of the cavalry commander, and then struck a blow with great force. Cut down on the cavalry commander.

The commander immediately used the sword in his hand to block.

"Clang!" Xu Fan knocked his sword away. Xu Fan then slashed his sword and cut off the head of the cavalry commander.

Xu Fan picked up the head and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, whoever surrenders will avoid death!"

The other Qin soldiers reluctantly formed a formation to resist the rebel attack, but when they saw the head of their commander, their low morale dissipated. However, they did not surrender to Xu Fan, but fled directly outside the forest. Xu Fan He led the rebels to pursue and kill them all the way to the outside of Xingshan. Unfortunately, the horses outside the forest were still there. These Qin soldiers climbed on their horses and quickly fled the battlefield.

Xu Fan and the others could only go back and clean the battlefield. More than 40 corpses of the Qin army were left on the battlefield. They confiscated all the weapons and equipment of the Qin army. At the same time, they educated their men: "Look at how many Qin soldiers died along the way. , there were at least thirty corpses, and they were all killed with their backs to us. On the battlefield where we ambush, they kept resisting, but not many people died, only less than 10 corpses."

Finally, Xu Fan meaningfully said to the soldiers: "On the battlefield, even if you are retreating, you should not turn your back to the enemy."
