Chapter 155 Broken Wrist

The flickering candlelight shone on Yao Chong's uncertain face, setting him off like a ghost.

This is Yao Chong's back account. After two small-scale contacts, the Jingzhou army refused to fight again. At this time, the news that Xiangyang's large camp grain and fodder was burned has spread to him.

In fact, Yao Chong had the idea of fighting quickly from the beginning, but he not only underestimated the strength of the Jingzhou army, but also didn't expect the Jingzhou navy to move so quickly.

Now the Jingzhou army is shrinking in the battalion and refuses to fight. It can be said that it hit his weakness.

When he saw the Jingzhou military camp before, Yao Chong knew that it was impossible to attack hard. Moreover, the Hulu Valley is strangely terrain, just like its name. Jingzhou army guards the mouth of Hulu, and it is almost impossible for his army to bypass it.

In addition, long before his army arrived, Zhao Lunwen moved away the people of all nearby villages and towns, so that once his army ran out of food, he would not even have a place to rob.

What should I do?

There is no chance of winning the attack. What if you retreat? With Lu Qiang's tricks, is he willing to let himself return to Qin safely?

The answer is obvious. Qin Jun went all the way south and did a lot of bad things. With his strong personality, it is strange that he is willing to give up.

Yao Chong felt the mistake of sending troops for the first time.

At this time, there was another letter from Chang'an on his case, which was written to him by his brother Yao Xing.

Looking at this letter, Yao Chong was a little angry. He killed that incompetent man, 5,000 people guarded a strong city, but was actually broken by the Jingzhou army in half a day. Is this ability to rebel against it? Pack up as soon as possible and go home to carry the baby.

The royal brother didn't know the situation ahead, and actually had to go to the army as soon as possible to help relieve the siege. However, he was afraid that he would have to explain here. It would be good to save his strength and return to the customs.

The grain and fodder in the camp is only enough for three days and must be withdrawn before the grain runs out, but of course it cannot be withdrawn like this. Before leaving, something must be done.

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Yao Chong's eyes.

Compaed with Yao Chong, Lu Qiang's mood is much better. First there is Wuji, then Jiang Xiaoyu, good news one after another. He knew that it was not far from the day when the Qin army withdrew.

But the more you get to this time, the more careful you are.

Yao Chong is also a person who knows Lu Qiang. The Qin army went all the way south, which really made the disaster in Xiangyang. How can Lu Qiang let them go back so cheaply?

Lu Qiang fully agrees with Jiang Xiaoyu's ambush in Xingshan, but he feels that Jiang Xiaoyu's troops are not enough and may not be able to stop Yao Chong, but it may not necessarily have to completely annihilate Yao Chong's army and leave half of him, which is a big victory.

Just when Lu Qiang discussed with Wang Dan, Zhao Lunwen and others whether to send reinforcements to Jiang Xiaoyu and what route to go to Xingshan, the scout came to report that there was a movement in the Qin army camp.

Lu Qiang looked at the dark sky outside and said to himself what Yao Chong wanted to do? Is this going to escape?

Wang Dan did not lose the opportunity to say, "Your excellency should beware of Yao Chong's attack camp, and then take the opportunity to retreat"

Wang Dan's words reminded Lu Qiang, but he didn't have many cavalry, so he could only watch the Qin army escape first. In addition, judging from Yao Chong's performance, it is difficult to guarantee that this guy will not bury a big hole in himself on the road.

Zhao Lunwen is required to alert the whole army. In addition, Zhou Kui and Deng Xiang's cavalry should also be prepared to chase the enemy.

Surely, as expected, after a while, Zhao Lunwen, who had arrived at the front camp, sent someone to return, and the Qin army attacked it.

When Lu Qiang heard the report, he immediately rushed to the front camp and pedaled on the lookout platform to look at the opposite side.

When the sun sets, the sky and the earth are dim yellow. It can be seen that Yao Chong is going to be serious this time.

The 15,000 army was divided into five squares, and the swords and guns were shining in the sunset. There are countless cavalry behind the infantry.

Seeing this situation, Lu Qiang and others were a little surprised. What is Yao Chong doing? When he attacked his battalion in front and fought happily, he quietly led the cavalry behind to escape?

No way? Then he won't be afraid of the collapse of the army?

But if not, how could he launch an attack at this time? The cavalry behind looked ready to run away again.

The answer came quickly, and the scout came to report that after the Qin army camp, a brigade of soldiers withdrew north.

Yao Chong led 40,000 troops south to Hulu Valley, and the two contacts did not cause much damage. Now there are 15,000 troops and a large number of cavalry. In addition, there should be 15,000 infantry.

Yao Chong is going to break his wrist!

Thinking of this, Lu Qiang had to admire Yao Chong's viciousness, at least asking himself that he could not do this.

I don't have many cavalry, which is not a big threat to the Qin army, but I have to deal with the crazy attack of this 15,000 cannon fodder, let alone chase Yao Chong with all my strength.

It seems that there is only hope for Jiang Xiaoyu and others, hoping that they can kill and injure the Qin army as much as possible.

"Rumble"

The sound of war drums finally sounded in the dusk, and the sky and the earth were full of rustling.

Lu Qiang's expression became serious. I don't know if the 15,000 Qin army knows that their commander has abandoned them, but in any case, this is an admirable army.

No matter what they have done, as long as they are willing to sacrifice their lives for their comrades-in-arms, they are worthy of the title of soldier.

"Blow the horn and get ready to fight"

Lu Qiang still looked up to these Qin soldiers. In fact, it was not only the Qin army, but also any army. Only the highest generals knew such things. No one was stupid. Why did you run away and I left to die? This is human nature.

The long-planned war finally unfolded in such a charming dusk.

The 6,000 Qin troops in the front two phalanxes shouted and rushed to the Jingzhou camp.

The Qin army was in a hurry to go south, and the only heavy offensive and defensive weapons were also left in Xiangyang, so they could only carry boards in one hand and shields in the other. Under the cover of archers, they frantically rushed to the trenches in front of the Jingzhou camp.

The intention of the Qin soldiers was obvious, which was to lay a channel for the cavalry behind.

In contrast, on the side of the Jingzhou camp, Zhao Lunwen had plenty of time to operate the camp and all defensive measures were fully prepared. Before the Qin army approached the camp, the stones in the sky were mixed with arrows and rushed to the Qin army.

When forming an army, Lu Qiang has always attached great importance to the long-range strike weapon of catapults. In other words, this is the artillery in his mind.

As far as the current level of science and technology is concerned, even if Lu Qiang was a doctor in his previous life, he can't invent artillery ammunition. Instead of working on those boundless things, it is better to hire skilled craftsmen to improve the catapters!

Therefore, under the strong advocacy of Lu Qiang, the catapult of Jingzhou Army has always been the most advanced among local forces.

Under the attack of stones and arrows all over the sky, the Qin soldiers fell piece by piece, screaming and howling... Resounding through the earth, in this case, even the soldiers rushing to the front can't help slowing down.

Everyone can see that under the dense firepower of the Jingzhou army, they can't get close to the trench at all, and even if they get close to the trench, it is also impossible to set up a channel. But doesn't the general behind understand? Why don't they withdraw their troops?

No one knows why, because they are cannon fodder, and cannon fodder does not need to know much.

As the night gradually deepened, a smart Qin army general finally came up with the idea of attacking the Jingzhou camp fence with rockets.

Not to mention, this is really useful. As the leaky fish shot the arrows with fire on the fence, the wooden fences outside the camp soon caught fire.

The rocket with fuel added to the fire fell on the wooden fence, and the fire spread rapidly. In a blink of an eye, it became a trend all over the sky.

In this way, the soldiers guarding behind the fence had to withdraw. And this finally gave Qin Jun a good opportunity.

With the weakening of the arrows in Jingzhou, a channel half a miles wide was finally built on the trench by the Qin military board. Seeing this scene, Qin Jun in the night couldn't help cheering.

The trench lost its function and the fence caught fire, indicating that the first line of defense of the Jingzhou Army has collapsed. As long as the burned fence is opened again, the Qin army's iron horse can rush into the Jingzhou camp and kill it at will.

However, to the surprise of the Qin soldiers, seeing that the fence of the Jingzhou battalion has gradually collapsed in the fire and the fire has also weakened, why is the iron horse in his army still not moved at all?

At this moment, I don't know who shouted first: "Brothers, we were abandoned. His grandmother, those dog officials took people away first..."

At first, only a few people could hear this sound, but as the soldiers behind them found that their battalion had indeed become empty, the sound spread farther and farther until more than 10,000 people could hear it.

The marshal has run away, and this battle is still a fart!

I don't know who took the lead first, and the cannon fodder of the Qin army began to rush to their camp.

In fact, Yao Chong's broken wrist was not only a helpless move, but also a wise move, because he didn't know that even if they burned the outer fence and filled the trench, it was useless. Once they rushed across the first line of defense, they would be stunned to find that there was a trench behind the first line of defense.

This trench was dug long before the arrival of the Qin army and was usually covered with wooden boards. Therefore, although Yao Chong often looked up at the Jingzhou camp, he still did not know that there was such a defense horse mechanism hidden in the Jingzhou camp.

Not to mention him, if Zhao Lunwen hadn't told him in advance, Lu Qiang wouldn't have known that Zhao Lunwen had such a hand.

Although Yao Chong's army quietly withdrew in the dark, Lu Qiang still knew, but it was useless to know. At the same time, Lu Qiang believed that Yao Chong would definitely set an ambush on the road and wanted to ambush his pursuers.

The troops are not enough, and the sky is dark, so Lu Qiang can only let them retreat calmly. However, the fat meat in front of us can't let them run away anyway.

After getting the exact information of the scouts, Lu Qiang gathered together and began to assign tasks to each general...
