Three hundred and fiftieth chapters full of traps
Xiang Yu is attacking!
And continuously broke through several defensive lines of the Qin army.
While the Chu army went all out to launch an attack, the Qin army's response was, overall, quite passive. This was in line with Li Yuan's long-standing military guidance of "putting me first and taking advantage of our advantages."
The thoughts are completely different. When the Qin army faced the violent attack of the Qin army, what was its advantage? And how to show it?
A difficult problem was placed in front of Li Yuan and the generals. The Chu army's attacks were like layers of waves, constantly impacting the Qin army's defense line. With each layer broken, the Chu army's morale increased. Xiang Yu
He even raised his arms and shouted, shouting at his generals to annihilate all the Qin people.
Under the great banner of the Qin army.
Li Yuan and Li Zuoche were surrounding a simple sand table made of sand, and were deducing the changes in the current battle situation step by step. Every time the Chu army took a step forward, the small red flag would move a step, and the corresponding original
The black flag at that location will be removed.
A must-have for modern marching and fighting: a sand table.
It has become popular among the Qin army and has reached the rank of captain. A resourceful general like Li Zuoche was even more surprised by the live broadcast of the sand table.
A good memory is worse than a bad pen.
Sand, soil, and small wooden poles are all available everywhere. The Qin army can restore the entire battlefield in a short time without even carrying them. Once they want to evacuate, they only need to let the soldiers
A few shovels can destroy the sand table until nothing is visible.
"Marquis Wu, Xiang Chu has approached the fifth line of defense of our army. The general thinks that we can't wait any longer. If Xiang Ji goes crazy, our army will be irreversible." After hearing several times in succession that the battle situation was unfavorable,
After the military report, Li Zuoche couldn't sit still and said with a slightly nervous expression.
Li Yuan nodded and said in a stern tone: "Our army on the southern front has currently reduced its strength and begun to move closer to our central army. As a result, Xiang Ji must speed up and invest more troops to break through. Let's wait a little longer.
, wait until all the elite troops of the Chu army enter the encirclement, and then inflict heavy losses. At that time, let Xiang Ji know that it is not easy to get in and out of Da Qin's ambush."
This is a battle over the divide.
Li Yuan's command and judgment ability are very mediocre. Judging from the current war process, there are many similarities with the original Julu War. The Qin army's command appears mechanical and dull, lacking the decisiveness to adapt to changes. But in fact,
All these deceptions are just to deepen Xiang Yu's impression.
The most glorious peak of Xiang Yu's life was when he single-handedly led the Chu army to defeat the more than 400,000 Qin army commanded by Zhang Han while the princes watched from the sidelines.
This glory is like a shackles, which makes Xiang Yu immersed in it and cannot be freed in his life. From a psychological analysis, if the Qin army assumes a battlefield posture similar to that of a giant deer on the battlefield, it is to induce Xiang Yu to fall into the trap of fighting.
In the trap. In order to deal with the Chu army's final fierce attack, Li Yuan prepared a variety of counterattack methods.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
It took the Chu army three seconds to break through the fourth and third lines of defense of the Qin army. The vanguard arrow was only a thousand feet away from the Qin army. At the same time, Li Zhongxiang, who was returning to support, was launching a diversionary attack on the rear flank of the Chu army. Qin
The war between the Chu and Chu sides has reached this point. It has become a life-or-death situation.
There is no possibility of retreat anymore, unless you abandon your subordinates and escape alone. As for whether you can escape in the end, it depends on luck. From the beginning of the chasm confrontation, Li Yuan never thought about letting Xiang Yu go back. This battle between princes
The civil war lasted for seven years. For the Qin State, which was about to face the evil wolf Huns on the grassland, there was not much time for adjustment.
"Zuo Chao listens to the order: You will lead the chariot troops to fight and order the throwing troops to go into battle!"
"Order: One part of the cavalry will detour from the flank and attack the Chu army's infantry brigade."
"The rest of the soldiers will go to battle with me!"
Orders followed the running figures of the Chinese scouts and were passed to all directions. At this time, the morning star in the east had risen, and the sky began to light up. The Qin army camp became excited because of the intrusion of the Chu army, red and black.
It's like two completely different torrents, constantly consuming their own energy in the fight until one party withdraws.
Xiang Yu went straight to the Qin army's center. Under the severe situation with two lines of defense remaining, Li Yuan also actively mobilized his troops to prepare for the Chu army's vanguard. In addition to the 7,000 elite troops of his own center, Li Yuan
At the same time, Li Zuoche's rear chariot troops were recruited to join the defensive battle group.
Chariot.
It is an ancient means of warfare.
In the Spring and Autumn Period when horseback riding was not yet popular, generals often fought while standing in a carriage pulled by two or four horses, holding the shaft of the carriage with one hand and holding a sword with the other, showing an air of indifference.
Of course, if we talk about the demeanor on the battlefield during the chariot battle, there is no one else except Song Xianggong who did not dare to attack halfway just to show his benevolence and righteousness.
At the end of the Warring States Period, with the reform of King Zhao Wuling's "Hufu riding and shooting" and the deepening of the integration of the Central Plains people and the northern nomads, horseback combat gradually replaced chariots and became the mainstream on the battlefield. The chariots that represented an era also
Gradually submerged in the torrent of history.
However, after the rise of the New Qin Dynasty, due to the preference for later generations of armored tank units, tanks were retained as a special type of arms. Correspondingly, a large number of craftsmen who made tanks were diverted to manufacturing.
Yu Chidao's long-distance transportation vehicles, which are huge in area and resemble an inflatable belly, have a nice and appropriate name: pregnant women.
Nothing wrong.
The belly of the maternity cart carries enough baggage to supply the troops. As for the outer layer of protection, there are copper nails at the joints between the wooden boards. At the same time, in order to prevent the occurrence of fires, the surface of the wooden boards is also covered with copper nails.
It was coated with a thick layer of tung oil.
On both sides of the car body, there are several round holes that can accommodate the launch of crossbow bolts. These round holes are not big. The crossbowmen in the car don't even need to look at the mountain to aim, because even if they see it
The target cannot change the firing angle of the crossbow bolt. In other words, this is a fixed firing position of the crossbow bolt.
This round hole shooting position can also be replaced by a spear thrust when the enemy is approaching. When the enemy soldiers try to get close to the vehicle body, extremely sharp spears will stab out. You can imagine what will happen if they are stabbed.
end.
If it is just a chariot with a crossbowman and a spearman, this is not a novel invention. What is new is that this chariot is composed of four wheels, and it is not just a single layer.
, but a double-layer structure. The pregnancy belly is the lower layer, and there is a platform-like structure above it that is similar to an observation tower.
The platform is condescending.
Once they appeared on the plain, it was as if they had gained a huge advantage in overlooking their opponents out of thin air. On the platform, nearly six hundred barbarians from the Xiaoyue branch opened their eyes wide and looked murderous.
fight.
It was nothing more than a game to see who had the better trump card. After Xiang Yu showed all his trump cards, Li Yuan also began to send out his own powerful troops composed of multiple arms.
——.
The Chu army broke through seven formations in a row.
Xiang Yu roared angrily, suddenly reined in the Wuzui horse, and looked back at the Chu soldiers under his command.
The red torrent is sweeping through the black tide. Although there are Qin people all around, these Chu soldiers have red eyes and are waving their weapons, just like evil ghosts.
"Haha, sons, go with a certain family's dog to slaughter the Qin Dynasty." Xiang Yu laughed loudly and shouted with all his strength. He tried hard to lift the blood-stained Overlord's halberd high, which actually made his chest beat.
His heart was about to burst into his throat, and the salty smell in his throat was intertwined with the smell of blood on his body. It made him like a plague god descending from the sky, unstoppable and indestructible.
Under Xiang Yu's crotch, the jet-black black horse's mouth was wide open. It was panting heavily and charging continuously, which made this war horse that had experienced hundreds of battles a little too much.
The optimal age of a horse is three to five or six years old, while the Wuzui horse is already close to ten years old. In other words, its prime period has passed and it is gradually aging.
The men were sleepy, the horses were short, and the morale of the generals was declining little by little.
Xiang Yu still wants to launch a powerful attack. His persistence and persistence have won him victory in the past, but today, facing Li Yuan, who has carefully planned and is more confident and powerful, Xiang Yu has no breakthroughs on his way forward.
possible.
Amid the shouts, there were several more Chu army lieutenants who were eager to make meritorious deeds. The captains shouted, bravely jumped over Xiang Yu's horse's head and ran towards the Qin army's next line of defense.
Unfortunately, their big red wave went away quickly and came back quickly.
Before Xiang Yu could react, a large chunk of the Chu army in front had fallen. In front of Xiang Yu, a series of wooden chariots that were as tall as a double-story house suddenly appeared in front of him.
From the holes in the "house", the crossbow arrows shot out quickly when faced with the dense charging formation of the Chu army. They almost killed a life with one arrow without aiming. In just a quarter of an hour, the Chu army fell.
There were more than 200 people, and what was even more serious was that these Chu soldiers were all powerful soldiers who could block ten soldiers with one.
"Overlord, the Qin people's crossbow arrows are too powerful. Our army can't rush through, so why not turn to -." A Chu military captain rushed to Xiang Yu with his face covered with blood, and reported in a hoarse voice.
"You, greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you be my general of Xiang Ji?" Xiang Yu shouted angrily, thrust out his halberd, and knocked the anxious Chu general off his horse.
"Quickly prepare torches and burn the baggage trains blocking the road."
"Qin Dog has no reinforcements. Even the heavy troops have come out. Come on, everyone, hurry up and increase your strength." The Chu army generals shouted one after another. Regarding the tactics of chariots and crossbows, the Chu people were at the beginning of the crossing.
After being panicked, I also figured out a way to deal with it.
"Porphyrin!"
"Porphyrin —!"
Just when the Chu army was shouting, the sound of heavy objects breaking through the air was like huge rocks falling from the sky, falling with the rapid sound of wind.
Xiang Yu led the Wuzui horse sideways and trotted for a few steps. He finally avoided a falling short spear. When the barrel of the spear brushed against his body, Xiang Yu felt a chill all over his body. This feeling was like being attacked by an enemy general alone.
I picked the average one.
"Barbarian soldiers, barbarian soldiers' spears? Oops——."
The Chu army was filled with screams, and Xiang Yu could even hear the desperate cries of familiar generals. But at this time, he had too much to think about. If Wu Zima hadn't been a psychic, he would have been hard-pressed to avoid Qin.
The army was in a hail of bullets.
In terms of shooting range, the throwing distance of the Yue Zhi soldiers was actually farther than the effective shooting range of the crossbow soldiers. Just now, Li Yuan specifically ordered the Chu army to move closer, and the crossbow soldiers launched the first round of shooting.
Then, Yuezhi throwing troops were dispatched to carry out precise attacks on important generals located in the center of the Chu army.
Facing the short spears falling from the sky, more than ten Chu army generals were nailed to the ground. Even Xiang Yu's personal knights who were protecting him lost more than twenty. What made Xiang Yu even more angry was that he lit a torch and tried to
The soldiers who threw and burned the Qin army's chariots were also "shot dead" one by one.
Compared with the arm strength of the Chu people and the Yuezhi people who are accustomed to throwing, the difference is not more than 1 or 2 points.
"Li Thief, you are really cunning." Faced with the heavy damage, Xiang Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, his bloodshot pupils were filled with madness, and he continued to charge forward. Under the double blow of the Qin Army's crossbowmen and throwing soldiers, could he break through the gap?
