Chapter 68 Beheading
Jing Wei quickly felt the riots of the Chu army.
The flames outside illuminated half of the sky. The panic screams of soldiers running and shouting pierced the silence of the early morning.
"What's going on?"
Jing Wei pushed the little lady in his arms away and hurriedly climbed out of the tent. He thought, would the Chu army have exploded the camp?
When he climbed out of the tent, he was stunned. It was not the bombing camp, it was clearly the Qin people who came to steal the camp. After so many years, Jing Wei had never dealt with the night battle, and the Chu army had no idea how to react.
At this time, the commander was in need of the commander to be calm, but Jing Wei's mind was blank. When Zhang Han attacked at night, even a general like Xiang Liang said, let alone Jing Wei, who was only a mediocre person.
"Go away!"
After a while, the figures of the Qin cavalry became clearer and clearer in the fire, and they came straight towards the central army's tent. Jing Wei's defense line immediately collapsed.
Seeing that the commander gave the order to retreat, Jing Wei's personal soldiers hurriedly surrounded him and evacuated backwards. The beauties and drums and music in the military tent could no longer care about it.
The Chu State had a strong aristocratic atmosphere, and generals led troops to fight and had no shortage of fun utensils. The people of Chu did not think it was strange, but regarded it as a nobleman's romantic.
"Don't let the chief general of the Chu army run away!"
From afar, Meng Tian's eyes were sharp-eyed, and noticed the movement of Jing Wei's tent and immediately shouted.
"Capture the Chu army's chief general alive!"
······
The Qin army shouted together, and the sound shook the sky and the momentum was like a rainbow. After hearing this, Jing Wei ran faster.
"Monkey, you lead a group of people to chase Jingwei!" Ruishi Camp was good at assassination, and Meng Tian explained: "I only need to have the head and hold it on the long halberd so that the enemy can see it!"
After the Chu soldiers saw Jing Wei's head, the last trace of morale would also dissipate invisible. Only this sneak attack would achieve the most perfect victory.
"No!" Man Qiang took the order and left, quickly hiding into the darkness.
"Luo Jia, hurry up and set fire and cut off the Chu army's chief flag!"
In ancient times, when fighting, the central army commander's tent was the top priority. The fall of the central army commander's flag had an unparalleled impact on the soldiers. When the soldiers were fighting, the central army flag fell, and they knew that the commander had fallen.
The position of the commander is also where the Golden Drum is. The death of the commander means that no more orders are coming. Once the command system is chaotic, with the ancient battlefield communication level, the army will lose its brain. No matter how good it is to fight, it will become a mud-footed giant.
"General, look at me!"
Luo Jia seemed very excited. This sneak attack was too exciting. He defeated tens of thousands of Chu troops in less than 4,000 cavalry. Although there was no way to count the heads in detail, this refreshing victory was particularly satisfying.
"Click—"
The long sword roared away, embedded in the flagpole made of hardwood, which made Luo Jia's arms numb. His face turned red and he looked very embarrassed. He rode on the horse with his strength as he was not as strong as when he was on the ground.
In order to ensure that the flag of the commander's flag will not fall, the materials of the flagpole will choose the strongest hardwood known.
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods. The flagpole suddenly broke due to the material, and the soldiers would feel that it was ominous to go out, which would affect morale. In order to avoid this situation, the generals would definitely not cut corners on the flagpole of the flagpole of the flagpole of the flagpole.
The long sword in Luo Jia's hand belongs to the standard long sword of the Qin army. With copper as the raw material, the Qin State has achieved initial flow of production. The bronze craftsmanship of the Qin people was perfect, but the standard bronze sword in the army is not as sharp as the Hanquan sword specially made by Meng Tian.
At this time, the cavalry did not have stirrups and there was no complete focus on the horse's back. As a result, Luo Jia slashed twice before cutting off the Chu army's commander flag.
In this way, it is necessary to develop high-quality iron weapons as soon as possible. When Meng Tian saw Luo Jia's embarrassment, he thought that the cavalry's armor-breaking ability was insufficient and he could not maximize the combat power of the cavalry.
If the opponent is not a flagpole, but a warrior in armor, he cannot kill the enemy with one blow, and the one who is killed or injured is Luo Jia. Fortunately, the protection of the Chu army is simple, and most of the soldiers, without armor, are sneak attacks, which has greatly expanded the results of the Qin army.
"General, Jing Wei's head is here!"
After the Qin army set fires everywhere, they saw the fire getting bigger and bigger, and there were also raging fires coming from the city. I think Li Bi has succeeded.
Don’t stay in Huyang City for a long time!
When Meng Tian was about to leave, Man Qiang held a Chu long halberd with a bloody head inserted on it. If it weren't Jing Wei, who would it be?
"This Jing Wei's short-soldiers are really cowards. Seeing that they were unable to escape, they actually ran away!"
He smiled proudly, his dark skin moved and looked like a evil spirit.
The Qin army was very strict. The commander was killed in battle and fled to his own strength. He did not fight to the death and robbed the commander's body. After returning to the country, he would be beheaded. If he was afraid of punishment and became a deserter, he would be punished and his family members, and his family would be deeply ashamed.
Once a Qin army soldier is chosen as the chief general's short-term soldier, he can benefit from the chief general's glory, but he must also bear the responsibility of fighting to protect the chief general's death.
The State of Chu was different. After moving east, many legal documents were missing, the legal system was imperfect, and the law enforcement was not strictly enforced, and there was no deterrent nature like the Qin law. Chu was close to Baiyue, and the jungle was crisscrossed. Many people who committed crimes, after the escape, the Chu government could not effectively arrest them.
Traveling north to Hu and south to Yue. The Yan State in the north and Chu State in the south are the most difficult to cure.
"Luo Jia, you will take someone to hold Jing Wei's head and make the soldiers shout that Jing Wei is dead!"
"promise!"
Luo Jia soon forgot the embarrassment of not cutting off the handsome flag with one sword, and took a team of people to patrol.
"Jing Wei is dead!"
"Jing Wei is dead!"
······
He took Jing Wei's head and Luo Jia's men to open the road and began to evacuate Huyang City.
From afar, after seeing Jing Wei's death, the Chu army lost the slightest desire to fight and rushed to flee.
The panic was contagious and soon spread throughout the Chu army. Occasionally, there were a few brave military officers who wanted to rectify their troops, but were overwhelmed by the retreating defeated soldiers and were unable to make up for the situation.
"Huyang City is probably destroyed!"
After leaving Huyang City, he met with Li Bi's light cavalry, looking back at the sky-sky fire in Huyang City, mixed with heart-wrenching screams.
The Chu army occupied Huyang, but some civilians remained in Huyang City, but they suffered Wuwang's military disaster.
When it comes to the tragic battlefield, there is nothing more than fire attack. Later generations, when the US military used napalm bombs, an entire city could be burned to ashes.
Confucian and Taoist people always say that killing prisoners is ominous, and water and fire are vicious, and they are ominous. Meng Tian did not have such thoughts, nor did Qin people do such thoughts.
Those who lead the troops should care about the lives of their soldiers. For the sake of so-called ominousness, they sacrificed their lives for vain. Meng Tian felt that this was the ominousness of the country.
True is not in charge of the army.
Those who lead the troops should be cruel to their own people and be ruthless in the face of military laws. When necessary, they should be more cruel to the enemy for victory.
"Get away!"
The journey of unification cannot be as glorious as the people of Qi and Lu said. The dream of unity in the world can be realized just by relying on the so-called benevolence and righteousness.
The true unity of every country is accompanied by iron and blood!
When he returned to the army, Meng Tian felt that he had truly become a Qin man and was integrated into this era when chaos was about to end.
Chapter completed!
