My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 548: You can conquer the enemy without fighting

The night is getting dark, and it will be difficult to tell the difference between people and horses.

Li Xin stood up on his horse, holding the reins in his hands and the stirrups on his feet, frowning and thinking about what the cavalry commander was planning.

Li Xin could completely see through him and dispatch his troops to pursue the ambush, so why did he lose his mind and seek such a dead end? He instinctively felt that there must be fraud involved.

"General, it's getting darker and darker. While we can still see clearly, why don't we shoot two rounds?"

A commander with a quiver on his back, a wooden bow in his hand, and an old scar on his face came over and suggested.

It is true that the concave terrain can restrain cavalry, but it does not restrain bows and arrows.

Although there were ten thousand Qin soldiers chasing this time, only three thousand were equipped with hard bows. There were only ten arrows in the quivers of the three thousand, and thousands of arrows were thrown out on the road.

But more than 25,000 arrows were enough to kill the less than 3,000 Qi cavalry in two or three rounds.

Li Xin looked over with stern eyes, shining in the hazy night.

The scarred captain quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at each other, feeling a little guilty.

"Want to take credit?"

"I don't dare to be humble!"

There was a crackling sound out of thin air, and Li Xin whipped his horsewhip on the scarred commander, hitting a position without armor protection. It was like a blood-red mark.

The scarred captain grunted, gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you General!"

Li Xin snorted coldly.

"Stop your crooked thoughts! If you want military glory, you must take the right path! The trick is to be used on the enemy, not on the enemy!"

There are ten thousand captains among the ten thousand Qin soldiers.

The three thousand Qin soldiers were equipped with bows and arrows and were under the control of three thousand captains. Captain Scar was one of the three thousand captains.

The bows and arrows directly killed these three thousand Qi soldiers. According to the Qin military merit system, these three thousand military merits will be recorded on the three thousand Qin cavalry with bows and arrows, and the merits of the three thousand captains are the greatest except Li Xin.

Li Xin pointed to Qi Jun, whose face was still vaguely visible on the edge of Deshui River, and said:

"If you can ensure that your arrows hit people but not horses, you will receive this military merit!"

The scarred captain remained silent.

I just can't do it...

By the Deshui River, Han Xin ordered that no one should ride on horseback. He should hide his body behind the horse, push the horse out in front, and be ready to hide under the horse's belly at any time.

The Qi general looked solemnly at the Qin army that was gathering more and more but never making any move.

This was the most difficult battle he had ever fought in his life, but beneath his calm exterior was a fiery heart.

Li Xin became famous all over the world very early.

He failed miserably in the attack on Chu and missed out on becoming a famous general in the world, but he was still a famous general in the Qin State, ranking among the top five in the Qin State with generals everywhere.

The Qi army with a disadvantage of three thousand faced the Qin army with a superiority of more than ten thousand under the command of Li Xin. If they can win...

"After this battle, the world should know my name, Han Xin!"

Han Xin clenched his fists and whispered excitedly.

The concave terrain restricted cavalry, while relying on war horses could protect against bows and arrows.

If you shoot directly, you hide behind the horse, and if you projectile, you get under the horse's belly.

Bows and arrows are not sniper rifles that point where to hit. With the pace of the Qin army and the Qi army, if all the arrows are fired, the Qin army can only get three thousand hedgehogs and horses at most, and it is difficult to hurt anyone.

After abolishing the cavalry and then abolishing the bows and arrows, Han Xin reduced the gap between the Qin and Qi armies by at least 60%.

"Li Xin can't cum."

When it comes to his own life and death, Zhang Liang has no choice but to step in. He also "knows a little bit" about the war.

"General Han has other considerations for these Marcos."

"Naturally there is."

The arrogant Han Xin did not dare to neglect Zhang Zifang, who was more beautiful than a woman, and replied seriously.

From the three brothers Han Fei, Ying Chengxuan, Lu Buwei, and Tian to Han Xin, no one who had in-depth contact with Zhang Liang did not take Zhang Liang seriously.

Talent does not depend on age. The young head of the Zhang family is not a water snake who is still growing, but a dragon that can already stir up the world.

"Tian Dan Fire Ox Formation?"

Zhang Liang asked lightly.

"That's it, copy the cat and the tiger, and create a fire-horse formation for the Qin army!"

Han Xin nodded, as if the hero had the same idea.

"We need to blindfold the horse to prevent it from being frightened, turning around and charging, disrupting our own formation."

As he spoke, Zhang Liang took the lead in tearing off a long strip of cloth from his clothes.

After hearing this, Han Xin recognized Zhang Zifang even more.

If you can tell that Tian Dan is in the Fire Ox Formation because you have read a lot, then being able to take into account the fear of horses is definitely not something you can think of just by reading.

The bull is bull-tempered, and the bull is stubborn and doesn't care when it comes up. It dares to charge even if there is a knife in front of it.

But the horse is different. The horse will be frightened, and a round of arrow feathers may shoot the horse back.

Han Xin likes to deal with smart people, fools are just a waste of life.

“It’s up to us to decide what the horse can see.”

He said with a smile, then put his hands on his head and squinted at the densely packed black-armored Qin army.

"It depends on whether Li Xin is willing to part with these three thousand horses."

Li Xin was reluctant to give up. Horses are more valuable than people.

Horses that can be trained into war horses are more expensive than cavalry.

Li Xin didn't care about the three thousand Qi soldiers, he would kill them if he could, but the three thousand horses were real strategic items, and the Qin army, which had a great family and a great business, could not just throw away three thousand horses.

The Great Qin Empire sent 50,000 war horses to fight the Xiongnu, which was almost all of Ying Chengyu's war horse resources, with less than 10,000 horses left.

Li Xin gave Scar Thousand Commander a whip. In addition to stealing credit, he was even more angry that his men wanted to shoot three thousand horses to death. He was a big loser!

The second emperor said that it was best to capture him alive, but it was okay not to capture him alive, and gave Li Xin loose power to deal with it.

But this capture refers to humans, not horses.

If you can capture three thousand Qi soldiers alive, you can kill them all for military merit. As long as the form is in place, it's not a big problem. Li Xin has no idea.

But if 3,000 horses could be captured, and if they were not captured, they would all be shot, Li Xin would not be able to forgive himself.

If the horse can be captured, it must be captured!

On the battlefield, cavalry is the strongest unit that can determine victory or defeat. This is the mainstream thinking of current military strategists, and Li Xin also agrees with this truth.

"General, the whole army is here!"

The soldiers reported loudly that this was Li Xin's previous order, and all the cavalry came to report to him.

Li Xin hummed, and his energy suddenly rose.

He led an army of 200,000 to be defeated in the Chu State, while Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to destroy the State of Chu. This incident made him remember the word "stability".

He clearly brought out 10,000 troops, why should he charge at the enemy's formation with 3,000 troops?

Yes, there are only 3,000 Qi troops on the opposite side.

With the same number, the Qin army is invincible and no one is afraid of it, but why be anxious?

This Qi army has already reached a dead end. Why not wait until the advantage is maximized before launching an offensive? Don't give the enemy a chance to make a comeback!

What if he led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu, and Lord Changping suddenly rebelled and cut off his retreat? Come back and eat together!

If you can run the game to death, what kind of extreme operation can you play?

"Surrender without killing, the whole army shouted." The young general sat up straight and glanced at the 10,000 black armors around him. His confidence increased and he felt much calmer.

He deliberately wanted to wait for all ten thousand people to arrive, and also intended to use this military formation to pressure the enemy to surrender without a fight.

His Majesty has personally given the order, and if it can be achieved, it must be achieved. How can three thousand military achievements be worth the favor of His Majesty?

Liu Bang's worldliness fell in the eyes of the generals, and Li Xin himself didn't know when he was affected.

Li Xin does not think that obeying His Majesty's orders is flattery.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

Tens of thousands of Qin troops shouted in unison, as if thunder struck one after another in this night, which made the waves of Deshui drop two inches, making it impossible to hit big waves.

Hei Ye seems to be afraid of the momentum of the tiger and wolf army, so he moves slowly, moves his steps, and approaches cautiously.

But Qi Jun was not afraid.

With his back against the Yellow River, he was dressed in simple aqua-blue armor and held a bronze weapon in his hand.

In a desperate situation, facing the Qin army, which is the best in the world, the country to fight is Qin, whose king did not dare to fight and test, and simply surrendered neatly.

There were calls for surrender, but few of the soldiers' eyes wavered.

In order to protect them, their king sent two thousand men to attack the Qin army and die. How could they betray their king? Absolutely impossible!

Han Xin picked his ears and smiled contemptuously.

[But Erle, what a waste of effort! ]

Qi Bing's army was morally unavailable, so how could he arrange a formation on the bank of the Yellow River?

What pleased Han Xin most about Qi Bing was the military spirit.

The reputation of the three Tian brothers in Qi could not be increased. The reputation of Qi King Tian Danyi and Bo Yuntian spread thousands of miles. Everyone in Qi loved him and was willing to die to repay him!

In the early days, Qi State was able to withstand the fierce offensive of Wang Jian, the most famous general in the world, not because of the righteousness of the family and the country, but because of the personal charm of the three Tian brothers.

This is Zhang Liangding’s approach.

First promote people, gather momentum, and then use momentum to restore the country.

After recovering seventy cities from the Tiandan Fire Ox Formation in one go, Qi State began to worship individuals, and Zhang Liang made decisions based on the location and people.

As for the appeal of the royal family, as early as after the Tian family replaced the Qi family, in order to avoid the restoration of the Qi royal family with the original Jiang surname and Lu family, the Tian family was suppressed by the Tian family. This is politically correct.

Han Xin turned around.

All the soldiers of Qi sprang out from behind their horses, facing the general who had reached the highest rank among military commanders as soon as he arrived in Qi.

Han Xin paced, his eyes roaming Qi Bing's body.

Most of the Qi soldiers responded with firm eyes, with a will to die in their eyes, but a few flickered in their eyes and did not dare to look directly, as if they had other thoughts.

Han Xin did not name these people, which is normal.

The more people there are, the harder it is to control one's thoughts. In a life-and-death situation, it is impossible for everyone not to have a desire to die, especially when the Qin army surrenders and may survive.

But that's not important. Generally speaking, it's good if you dare to die. People follow the herd.

When the war begins, the line between life and death is blurred, and everyone around them rushes forward bravely shouting to kill the enemy, the few Qi soldiers who are afraid and want to surrender will be assimilated into warriors, fighting to the death.

Han Xin drew out his sword and pointed diagonally at the ground.

"I, Han Xin, am standing here! If you fight, I will be the first to attack! If you retreat, I will be the last to leave!"

Qi Bing was silent, but it seemed as if there were flames coming out of them, connecting and getting stronger and stronger.

"With the Yellow River at our back, we have no retreat. If we win, we will live, if we lose, we will die."

After entering Qi, he paid homage to the general and defeated Wang Jian steadily, and the unification of Qi was expected.

He led five thousand Qi's elite cavalry deep into the Wei State and sneaked to Daliang without being discovered.

Han Xin, who had fought few battles but had a bad record, laughed heartily.

"I am General Han Xin of the State of Qi! Listen to my orders, this battle will be won! The living will take the ashes of the dead, and we will go home together!"

Come back home.

The blue flames of nothingness rushed into the night sky, seeming to burn a hole in the heaven and earth.

go home……

In the night, under the cover of horses, countless Qi troops were silent, with their hands clenched, and their eyes bursting with light that could reach from the Yellow River to the East China Sea.

Come back home!

The Qi army returned to their positions and stood ready. Han Xin's face was filled with blood, and the night was hard to suppress it.

To suppress Wang Jian and fight, it depends on the time of the Qin Dynasty, the favorable geographical location of Qi State, the harmony of the Tian family, and anyone who knows the art of war will do. It does not count as a skill.

Tonight's battle is the one that truly proves his Han Xin!

"It's a pity that Wang Ben is not here, Li Xin is still a little weaker."

Han Xin muttered to himself.

"What if the Qin army doesn't attack?"

Zhang Liang's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

If he were the general of the Qin army, he would definitely not attack and just waste his time.

The Qi army was short of food and fodder, and it was backed by the Yellow River with no way to retreat. Sooner or later, it would be trapped to death.

You can defeat others without fighting.

Han Xin instinctively tightened his grip on the sword. The next moment, he realized that it was Zhang Liang who was speaking and lost all his strength.

This kind of swaying the morale of the army and questioning the general, if it were another person, he would cut off the head with one sword to show the military power!

"Although Zifang has read many military books, he is not my military disciple."

Zhang Liang frowned, he couldn't figure out where he went wrong.

Han Xin smiled lightly and said:

"The word "fight" is all there is in the art of war! If 10,000 Qin troops are still besieging 3,000 Qi troops, how can they fight a fart battle? If the number of soldiers is less than 30,000, they are not considered the main force and cannot determine the situation of the battle. These are all local battles. .Local battles do not depend on casualties, but only on who can occupy and obtain the fighter plane first."

Zhang Liang turned his head and looked at Han Xin with a look that said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"General Han, where does this battle come from? We only have 3,000 people and the Qin army only has 10,000 people. This is the only battlefield."

"What Zifang said is absolutely true. If you were on the opposite side, I would have been defeated, but."

Han Xin changed the topic and spoke very fast.

"You can make the most accurate judgment outside of the battle situation because you have never been on the battlefield. Li Xin is not the same. Li Xin commanded 200,000 Qin troops in the battle against Chu. Now, even if he attaches great importance to this battle, he will only regard it as a partial battle. War to judge.

"Just like me, after I'm used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, it's hard for me to appreciate the taste of the rice balls that saved my life in the past."

Han Xin licked his lips.

"He didn't chase him into the woods, which was indeed beyond my expectation, but apart from escaping for a while, he didn't gain anything. We didn't stop in the woods, and Li Xin must have thought, 'I'm cheating on him. There is no thought of an ambush in the forest.

"It is inevitable for a person to feel a trace of regret. Li Xin's greed for credit and rashness is even more serious. This time we are in a desperate situation. After what happened in the woods, he will suspect that we are cheating again, so he waits for the troops. Now that all the troops and horses are here, that’s ten thousand people..."

Before he finished speaking, the earth trembled and the Qin army advanced in formation!

Following the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Deshui, which must be learned by military strategists of all generations, began.
