Chapter 314 Smoke
At the foot of Chen Ying City, while the main forces of the Qin and Chu armies were fighting, Li Bi and Xiang Liang met in a small village in the north of Dan County.
"This Chu General has some skills, but he couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he was."
After three days of dealing with Xiang Liang, Li Bi decided not to continue playing the game of cat-catching mice, stopped the troops and lined up to welcome the Chu army.
"The general's dark eagle came from news that the general Xiang Liang, the opposite general, was the son of Xiang Yan, the chief general of the Chu army.
Li Zuoche rode on the horse, looking at the battle flag opposite, and a heat ignited in his heart.
If he can defeat Xiang Liang, he will be able to gain his reputation faster.
"Li Zuoche, do you think our army should fight this battle?"
Li Bi turned his head and looked at Li Zuoche, who was frowning.
When Li Zuoche was fine, he often frowned. When he was thinking about the war, his brows turned into a big character Sichuan.
As the saying goes, when you frown, you will be thinking about it. Li Zuoche's talent in using troops has a more personal experience of harassing the rear of the Chu army this time.
"It's nothing more than a combination of strange and positive things."
Li Zuoche's eyes fell on the chariot in the Chu army formation and had an idea in his mind.
······
"Where is Xiang Liang? Is there no news about him yet?"
Xiang Yan sent the reserve team in the camp to barely block the Qin army's attack and finally stabilized the front that was close to the collapse.
The Chu army, who had been in the south for a long time, witnessed the horror scene of a large-scale cavalry group charging for the first time.
The heavy cavalry under Luo Jia lined up like a scattered sea of scattered land, forming a sharp arrow formation and plunged into the chaotic battle formation of the Chu army.
Moving around and rushing, slashing left and right, the Chu army was completely unable to deal with these human-shaped tanks from the age of cold weapons.
"Shangzhu Kingdom, General Liang is fighting with Qin general Li Bi, and I am afraid I will not be able to get back in a short time."
Xiang Chan bit his lip tightly, and his face was very unwilling.
The opportunity for the Chu army to recover the old capital of Chen Ying was about to be destroyed.
"Where is Xiang Rong? Have you come back now?"
Xiang Yan shook her head gently and pointed to the location of Zhoukou County.
"General Rong Zheng led his army back to aid." Xiang Chan replied.
"He doesn't need to return to help, I'm sending my order, Xiang Rong led his army to retreat to the territory of Chu."
The Chu army camp could only temporarily block the Qin army's advancement. After seeing the Qin army's powerful stone catapults, Xiang Yan believed that the Chu army camp was not safe anymore.
"Xiang Bo, rectify the troops in the camp and prepare to withdraw from Chu State..."
When Xiang Yan was left alone in the camp, he sat on the couch powerlessly and suddenly felt several years older.
Since taking office as the Shangzhu Kingdom of Chu, Xiang Yan has worked tirelessly to rectify his troops and secretly contacted Changping Jun Xiong Qi.
When Xiong Qi served as the transfer envoy of Chen Ying, Xiang Yan finally saw a great opportunity to annihilate the Qin army to attack Chu, capture Chen Ying, and restore Chen County.
Unfortunately, all of this was destroyed by the boy Meng Tian on the opposite side.
"Did Zhu Rong Shen really abandon the State of Chu?"
At this moment, Xiang Yan really felt a little helpless.
Xiang Yan was defeated by Wang Jian, but she felt a little embarrassed when she was defeated by Meng Tian, who was twenty years younger than him.
"Transfer my order and let Li Chao lead his army to block Xiang Rong!"
After the Chu army retreated into the camp, Meng Tian arranged a strong attack while sending people to contact reinforcements in Zhoukou.
The defeat of the Chu army has emerged, and it is time to beat the dogs in the water. The 50,000 reinforcements led by Li Chao can play a significant role in the battlefield.
At this time, thick smoke suddenly appeared in the Chu army camp.
"This is?"
"General, the Chu people don't want to attack fire, right?"
The leopard opened her eyes wide and her voice was more than octaves higher than usual.
Meng Tian stood up and looked around, and the flags everywhere quietly shook the flags.
"Xiang Yan will not launch a fire attack at this time, there will be no wind."
Feeling the tranquility in the air, Meng Tian shook her head decisively.
To launch a fire attack, specific conditions need to be met. Dry forests, convenient winds, and narrow terrain.
The Qin army lined up outside the Chu army camp, and the surrounding trees had already been cut down by the Chu army, and there was no conditions for arson.
The Chu army set fire at this time and would only burn itself.
Burn yourself?
Thinking of this, Meng Tian seemed to suddenly think of something.
The Chu army released not fire, but smoke.
The tactics of casting smoke and disturbing local sight have been around for a long time, and even in the era of hot weapons, it is still common.
During the Gulf War, Iraq set fire to oil fields in order to interfere with US military aircraft. The thick smoke was rolling, and even advanced fighter jets were greatly affected.
"Xiang Yan wants to run!"
After understanding what Xiang Yan was thinking, Meng Tian gave up on Xu Tuzhi's idea and ordered the Qin army on the front line to continue working hard and continue to launch an attack.
The Chu army had many soldiers and horses, Xiang Yan had good ability to lead troops, and Meng Tian did not annihilate all the arrogance of the Chu army. He just wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate as much vitality as possible from the Chu army.
After the Qin army expelled the Chu army from Chen County, they had to attack the Chu country.
When Xiang Yan returns to Chu, the situation will be completely reversed.
By then, the Chu army would take charge at home, while the Qin army would become a away game.
Outside the Chu army camp, Meng Hu took down a small bamboo tube from his waist, poured out the rice ball inside, handed it to his mouth, and chewed it in big mouth.
Just put the cold boiled water sealed on the other half of the bamboo tube and passed by.
The long-term battle was extremely exhausting, and even Meng Hu felt a little hungry.
Taking advantage of the gap in the stone casting chariots in the stone casting camp, the Qin soldiers took out the military rations hanging around their waists and began to swallow them voraciously.
At the middle of Si, the front line of the Qin and Chu armies fell into a short period of tranquility.
But no one has the leisure to enjoy this tranquility.
The soldiers knew in their hearts that the tranquility on the battlefield often meant the prelude to cruel battles.
"Ahem, cough, cough,..." Meng Hu waved his hand and snorted coldly, "The Chu people are really cunning. When setting off cigarettes at this time, it makes people feel uncomfortable to have a meal."
"Haha, as the enemy of our army, how could the Chu people make you feel comfortable?"
After eating the ball of rice in the bamboo tube, Zhang Tuo wiped his mouth, as if he was still unsatisfied.
For officers of the Qin Army's rank, the rice ball is not just rice balls made of millet. The rice balls are added with oil and water, and some minced meat.
After a long battle, I actually felt quite nostalgic when I ate such a ball of rice.
I have had such a ball of rice together, and just fought side by side, Meng Hu and Zhang Tuo became more enthusiastic.
Meng Tian’s old subordinates and the new subordinates who joined when attacking Chu were constantly tempted and merged. Only after a real war can there be friendship in robes.
"I think the Chu army can't hold on for long. Now the smoke is released, which only means that they no longer have the confidence to fight."
Zhang Tuo touched the ring-headed knife around his waist, thinking that after this battle, his title should be upgraded to another level.
"Don't be careless. You must not be careless before the victory finally arrives."
Meng Hu waved his hand, but his eyes were staring at the direction of the Chu army camp.
"Two lieutenants have found you."
In the smoke, Meng Tian's messenger rushed to Meng Hu and Zhang Tuo to convey Meng Tian's orders.
"The Chu army plans to retreat. The general ordered our army to step up the attack!"
