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

Chapter 53, The pursuers arrive again

Neither side is a good thing, and even the nobles of the Chu State are not a good thing. How the people of the Chu State choose, the war that year explained everything.

So when the nobles of Chu State wanted to mobilize the people of Chu State to rebel against Qin State, the people of Chu State looked at them with cold eyes. Without the support of the common people, these Chu nobles were naturally easily arrested by Qin officials. If this happened too often, the Chu nobles would naturally not dare to rebel.

But now Zhou Zhang finally determined that the Chu people's hatred for Qin had surpassed the Chu nobles, and it was now easy to mobilize them to fight against the Qin army.

He admired Xu Fan and said: "My lord's "Chu Zhaonu" is worth millions of troops. My subordinates finally understand how the propaganda department should operate."

The days of leisure are always short. The rebel army stayed in Xiang County for five days. Two pieces of news came to the rebel army, one good and one bad. The good news was that Chen Lin and Deng Zong led 3000 rebel soldiers to conquer Qi. County, the bad news is that Bai Meng, the commander of the Qin Army, led 1 Qin soldiers south to pursue the rebels. The pursuing rebels arrived in Nanton County and would approach Xiang County in at most three days. The entire Xiang County was filled with a sense of tension.

After learning that the Qin army was about to arrive, Ji Bu's second brother Ji Xin came to persuade his elder brother: "The Qin army is approaching fiercely. Let's leave Xiang County quickly to avoid suffering the disaster of Chiyu."

When Ji Bu heard this, he said angrily: "Xu Fan, the leader of the rebel army, regards us as brothers. He did not look down on us and did not say anything. He also taught us the art of war. Now that the Qin army is attacking, you have to escape for your brother. Is this what you want?" Do the people in the world laugh at me as my brother? I have decided to stay in Xiang County and join the rebel army to resist the Qin army."

Then he looked at his younger brothers and said, "Those who want to escape, please leave on your own."

"It's not the Qin army. What's so scary? The rebels can defeat them, and we can also defeat them."

"Even if we die, our brotherhood cannot be broken. We, the Xiangxian Rangers, fought against the Qin army, and let the world know about our Xiangxian County Rangers' impassioned deeds."

After saying this, these rangers immediately stopped working. Although they are afraid of death, they are even more afraid of a bad reputation. In this era, when a bad reputation occurs, the whole person will die sociologically. This is something more terrifying than real death. Jibu's 500 Rangers are willing to advance and retreat with Jibu.

All the senior officials of the rebel army came to the Xiang County Government Office, and Ji Bu also came here specially.

Xu Fan saw him and said: "Brother Ji has come at the right time. The Qin army is about to arrive in Xiang County. Brother Ji should escape quickly."

Ji Bu immediately said: "General Xu, you are looking down on us Xiang County Rangers. Under such circumstances, of course we will advance and retreat together with the rebel brothers."

Xu Fan thought for a while and said: "That's good. There is strength in numbers, so Brother Ji can go south to Xi County with us."

Ji Bu was surprised and said, "Are you still going to run away?"

Emotion's own joining did not help the rebels at all.

Xu Fan did not notice Ji Bu's inner activities, but said: "Xiang County and Chen County are too close, and they are connected by a chasm and water. If we and the Qin Army use Xiang County as the battlefield, the Qin Army's reinforcements and supplies will be exhausted. Water can be continuously imported through the chasm. Using Xiang County as the battlefield is too unfavorable for us. However, going south to Xi County not only extends the front line by 200 miles, but also transports grain and grass. Not only does it take more time, but it also lengthens the Qin Dynasty. The army's logistics supply line makes it easier for our rebel army to cut off the Qin army's supplies and create opportunities for victory in the war. Our retreat now is for future victory!"

What Xu Fan said was so reasonable that Ji Bu had no way to refute it.

Xu Fan looked at Zhou Zhang and said: "Brother Zhou and Wu Sheng, you lead 2000 rebel brothers to protect the rebel families and leave."

Zhou Zhang and Wu Sheng said: "No!"

Xu Fan looked at Ji Bu and smiled: "How about Brother Ji and I leading 500 cavalry to break up the rear?"

Ji Bu laughed loudly and said, "I have long wanted to see if the Qin army is as powerful as the legend says."

Because the Qin army was close, the rebels were pressed for time. Xu Fan and the others got the news in the morning, and in the afternoon the family members of the rebels packed all their bags and headed for Xixian County. Tens of thousands of rebel family members were like a long dragon, with 2000 soldiers protecting both sides of the army. Xu Fan and the others stood at the back of the team, watching the team slowly leave.

When the rebel family members disappeared from Xu Fan's sight, Xu Fan shouted loudly: "Soldiers, let's go see the Qin army together."

"Okay!" the cavalry soldier shouted cheerfully.

If anyone among the rebels is least afraid of the Qin Army, it must be the rebel cavalry. Since its establishment, this team has been fighting the Qin Army head-on and has won all of them. On one occasion, they even won a victory with one against ten. They also pursued the Qin army for dozens of miles and saw how embarrassed the Qin army was. These victories gave the rebel cavalry great confidence and made them not afraid of the Qin army.

Nan Dunxiang County was less than a hundred miles away. Xu Fan led the cavalry and galloped for half a day before the armies of both sides met.

Xu Fan was surprised when he saw the Qin army's troops as far as the eye could see: "The Qin army is too numerous. I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of them."

Xu Fan saw that the length of the team was almost the same as that of their rebel family members.

Ji Bu said with a solemn expression: "The rangers of Chen County sent news that the Qin army dispatched 1 people this time. They want to completely wipe out the rebels."

Xu Fan said: "Chen County only has 3000 standing troops, and 1000 of them have been wiped out by our rebels. Chen County only has a maximum of 2000 standing troops, and now there are tens of thousands of people. They must have been recruited by the Qin army in the past few days. The combat effectiveness of these recruits must not be as good as the Qin army." Veteran of the Army.”

Xu Fan thought very wildly. The Qin army had expanded so many new troops in a short period of time, and its combat effectiveness would have plummeted. On the bright side, both sides were noobs at each other's throats. This was good news for the rebels.

But at this moment, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed towards Xu Fan and others in the Qin army. This group of Qin army cavalry was extremely arrogant. Even though they saw that the rebel cavalry was five times as many as them, they still charged forward to kill them.

Xu Fan saw the Qin cavalry and smiled and said, "Teach these arrogant Qin soldiers a lesson."

He raised his spear and pointed it at the Qin cavalry and said: "Follow me and charge to kill!"

Ji Bu and the rebel cavalry shouted: "Kill!"

The distance between the two sides is sixty steps.

Xu Fan shouted loudly: "The spear is ready."

The rebel cavalry began to raise their spears, and the cavalry in the rear fired at the enemy. However, the cavalry bow was inherently weak. Shooting from the horse, even with a three-piece cavalry suit, still reduced the power of the bow and arrow, and did not cause many casualties to the enemy. .

The distance between the two sides is thirty steps.

The rebel archers all drew back their bows and took out their long swords, short halberds and other weapons. Among them, short halberds were the most numerous. Compared with long swords, short halberds that could peck people were easier to master. Those who were accustomed to holding sickles could also Prefers to hold a short halberd.

The formation of the rebels' charge was a diamond-shaped impact array. This array increases the killing area, doubling the lethality of the cavalry.

At the same time, this formation is deep, and each soldier will be protected by his comrades on the left, right and behind. It can be said that this is a formation that takes into account both offense and defense.
