Chapter 1268: Courageous but Frustrated
Chapter 1268: Courage but no strategy
In an open area, the advantage of cavalry attacking infantry, or infantry rushing to fight, is too great.
Yin Dian was so angry that he kept shouting: "Stop them! Stop them! We must not let them escape!"
"Crossbowman! Quick! Release the arrow! Release the arrow!"
Such a chaotic scene, with the wails of the Spirit Army soldiers everywhere nearby, a few people got the order and hurriedly took their bows and stepped forward, but under the random arrows, they only shot a piece of dust as the horse galloped past.
Lian Xiao used the speed and flexibility of the Qingqi to rush and kill the spirit army, then circle back diagonally without making any stop at all. It can be said that he came and went like the wind.
The purpose of this battle is not to completely defeat Yin Dian. Five hundred cavalry cannot achieve this, but it can severely defeat Yin Dian and greatly damage the morale of the Ling Army. This will be the most important thing in the next battle.
crucial.
Watching it attack and kill thousands of people, but after his own reaction, he didn't even touch his tail. Yin Dian was undoubtedly even more angry. His blood surged up and down, and he ignored it and said: "Send the order to the whole army! Send the order to the whole army.
!Chase me! You must not run away, Lian Xiao!"
The lieutenant general was also a little embarrassed in the chaos of the attack. He held his tilted helmet and said hurriedly: "General, calm down. General, calm down. Since Lian Xiao dares to lead the cavalry to attack, there must be a way out, and the opponents are all cavalry. Really.
It’s not appropriate to chase.”
Even if Yin Dian is brave and foolhardy, he still understands this truth. The Qin army's camp is not far from here. If he really wants to pursue it desperately and lose touch with the front and rear, he will be in big trouble.
But his anger was unbearable, and when he heard this, he undoubtedly vented his anger on the lieutenant: "It's all you! What kind of soldiers were temporarily repaired, so that I rushed to fight! That's why Lian Xiao got such an advantage!"
"This, this." The deputy general said with an anxious look on his face: "The general did not expect that the Qin army did not refuse to defend the stronghold, but instead rushed out to kill them."
"Stop talking!" Yin Dian's anger continued and he said sternly: "In this battle, I, the general, will take Lian Xiao's head! To vent the hatred in my heart!"
Hearing the anger in his tone, the lieutenant general swallowed and asked tentatively: "Then, what is the general going to do now?"
Yin Dian said: "Now that Lian Xiao has won the first battle, he must be secretly happy, thinking that our army is not repaired enough and cannot fight again, but I, the general, will attack his stronghold tonight! Try to catch him off guard!"
"This, general, please be careful." The deputy general said anxiously: "The Qin army is not a mob, and there are generals who are roaring, and our troops have just marched here. We are short of men and horses, and we encountered a surprise attack. We will suffer many losses and our morale will be low. If we launch a night attack
Attack, once the Qin army is prepared, they may be hit head-on."
Then he added: "In view of the general's opinion, it is better to camp temporarily until dawn, and then attack again."
"Shut up!" In anger, Yin Dian could no longer listen to him and said angrily: "Repair it! How long do you have to repair it! In this way, one day will pass. If you fail to respond to Murong Yan in time, what will happen?
Explain to His Majesty!"
"This..." With such words, the deputy general did not dare to speak anymore.
"The military situation is extremely urgent. We must not stay in Qingshi Gang for too long!" Yin Dian said seriously: "Send my military order! The soldiers of the sixth formation are on guard outside to guard against another sneak attack by the Qin army. The rest of the troops are resting and on standby. After nightfall, they will follow
I conquer the Qin army’s camp!”
"This, yes!" the deputy general had no choice but to accept the order.
On the other side, the Qin army camped.
After Lian Xiao returned, all the generals naturally gathered together.
The general surnamed Hu was the first to say: "Today, the general personally led the cavalry, severely defeating the enemy, and greatly boosting the morale of our army. It is a pity that the Yin Dian thief did not pursue him."
Lian Xiao said: "It is indeed a pity. If Yin Dian pursues, his main force will be out of touch with the follow-up troops. General Hu can also hit him halfway and give him a severe blow."
Another partial general said: "In any case, the general returned victorious, and the morale of the army is more stable than before. It will be much easier for us to fight in the next war."
Lian Xiao raised his hand, stopped what he was saying, and said a little solemnly: "This time Yin Dian has three times as many troops as me. After being charged and killed, he will probably become angry from shame. I think the Ling Army will probably attack at night.
.”
This idea was recognized by several generals, and people nodded involuntarily. General Hu said: "What the general said is true. Yin Dian is a general of the Ling Army. He has a very high status. He will do this out of anger.
"
Seeing that everyone thought so, Lian Xiao immediately said: "In that case, please generals, please prepare quickly, wait for Yin Dian to attack, and give him a head-on blow!"
"No!" Everyone clasped their fists in unison.
It's night time.
Yin Dian did what he said and took advantage of the darkness to lead an army of 60,000 to the Qin camp.
The movement of the 60,000-strong army had actually been detected by the Qin army a long time ago. When approaching the camp, the deputy general of the Ling army couldn't help but said: "General, Qin and Ling have fought many times. With the Qin army's past precautions, the camp
There must be hidden sentries outside, and it is absolutely impossible to be so lax. I am afraid there is some fraud involved."
Hearing this, Yin Dian's heart tightened somewhat, but at this moment, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "We have come, how can we retreat like this! No matter whether the Qin army is deceitful or not, the camp
Just go ahead and break through!"
"But this." The deputy general wanted to say something else, but as soon as Yin Dian finished speaking, he drew out his sword and pointed forward: "Brothers! Kill!"
"Kill -" the cry of killing suddenly started. As a general, Yin Dian took the lead and rushed to the front of the crowd. Behind him were countless soldiers of the Spirit Army. They charged forward with their steps and raised their swords and shouted.
I thought that in such a situation, the Qin army would shoot arrows at the wall of the village, but who knew that there was no obstruction at all, and even a large number of spiritual troops charged and directly broke through the gate of the outer village.
The camp of 20,000 Qin troops is very large, and only one outer gate will not be of much use.
He rushed into the outer door so easily. No matter how stupid he was, Yin Dian suddenly felt something bad and immediately shouted: "No! Escape!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout came from above his head:
"Yin Dian! This general has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Ah!? Yin Dian looked up and saw who else could it be if it wasn't Lian Xiao.
He was shocked. At the same time, the sound of armor scraping could be heard on the surrounding walls, followed by countless crossbowmen, loading their bows with arrows and aiming downwards in unison.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following the order, the bows and crossbows fired in volley, and dense arrow branches fell from the top like raindrops.
In an instant, there were pitiful howls, mixed with the clashing of weapons one after another. How many spiritual soldiers were instantly nailed into hedgehogs, and how many people were waving their swords indiscriminately.
