Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 233

Chapter 233

The sound of the horn broke through the midnight tranquility. Even if Li Zuoche wanted to stop him, it was too late at this moment. He could only watch helplessly as Peng Yue led his army towards Linghu Da on the opposite side.

Although Linghu Da was only a general of the rear army, he was also battle-tested and made countless achievements in battle. Now seeing these enemies rushing forward to die, he directly ordered his left and right to prepare his bow and crossbow.

The Jiuyuan Army is the main force of the Qin Army, and each of them is equipped with the most advanced crossbows and cavalry treasures.Under the boost of the powerful divine arm bow, the infantry at the front directly pulled the trigger a hundred steps away.

This blow caught Peng Yue by surprise.

Although Peng Yue is famous in history, his experience at this moment is not enough to make him proud of the world.Inertial thinking made him think that Qin Jun's crossbow could only shoot fifty or sixty steps away, but he didn't expect that the opponent's lethality had already increased to a hundred steps away.

His subordinates were all infantry, and it was too late to disperse, so Peng Yue could only remind them loudly, and just as the voice fell, the black arrows on the opposite side had already rushed towards them.

"puff……"

"My mother!"

Under the sky, the screams of soldiers of Zhao State can be heard everywhere.

The sound shot straight into the sky, making the soldiers in the rear feel numb and break out in cold sweat when they heard the sound.

Holding the shield in his hand, Peng Yue managed to survive the first round of attacks, and was about to take a breath when suddenly the sound of a machine spring sounded from the opposite side.

"So fast!"

Peng Yue quickly used the shield in his hand to block the arrows.

He was on guard, but the soldiers around him were caught off guard.

The soldiers who were injured in the first round of attacks had no energy left to block the arrows.In addition to the dark night, the visibility is extremely low. They can only instinctively swing around with the weapons in their hands. The result of this defense can be seen.

Surrounding screams and wailing sounded one after another.

Peng Yue didn't know how many soldiers he lost after two rounds of attacks.

At this moment, he no longer dared to rush forward, but turned around and prepared to retreat.

But it didn't matter if he withdrew, the entire formation of thousands of people who rushed out was in chaos.

The leader is the soul of an army, if the leader is desperate, the army will surely win, if the leader shrinks back, the morale of the entire army will be damaged.

Peng Yue took the lead, and the soldiers of the three armies sacrificed their lives one after another.Now that he was running away, the morale of the entire army collapsed instantly, and everyone ran back as hard as they could.

Those who rushed to the front retreated, and those who were behind didn't know what happened. The two groups of people were all crowded together, and they were completely chaotic.

The Qin army would not waste such a great opportunity in vain. They pulled the trigger again and fired arrows continuously.

Poor Zhao Jun on the opposite side, within a distance of more than 20 steps, Zhao Jun's corpses are everywhere.

When Li Zuoche saw that Peng Yue was retreating, he immediately wanted to rush forward to help, and several aides beside him hurriedly persuaded him: "The prime minister and the general must not do this, Meng Tian is led by the elite of Jiuyuan under his command, during the day we all thought Meng Tian They have already led the army north, but now it seems that they must be hiding outside the city to lure us out of the city. If we kill them now, I am afraid that we will enter the enemy's encirclement."

This staff member has been with Li Zuoche for many years, and he has always been calm and strategic.Because of this, Li Zuoche brought him along when he was marching and fighting.

The two staff members next to him also tried to persuade them.

"If you can't attack if you attack, if you can't advance if you advance, why should our army be unable to retreat?" Li Zuoche hummed.

"The prime minister and the general are really clever." The staff had already seen Li Zuoche's dissatisfaction, and flattered him without a trace: "The Qin army came from a long way, and it was already dark at night, so they dare not use the tired army Fight with us. The general can let the whole army go back to the city quickly, so that they can rest for a night. After knowing the actual situation of the Qin army in the morning tomorrow, it will not be too late to compete with them."

Li Zuoche also knew that continuing to fight would only cost the lives of his soldiers in vain. Instead of doing this, it would be better for the whole army to return to the city, so he simply agreed with the staff's suggestion.

Peng Yue retreated very quickly. Although more than 2 soldiers and horses were lost by more than 2000, they were basically withdrawn into the city within a short period of time.

Peng Yue was still in shock, and his face was dull, so he returned to his army after returning to the city.Li Zuoche sent out clear whistle, dark whistle, startling whistle, and plundering whistle to strictly guard against the night attack of Meng Tian's army, and also to investigate the reality and military situation of the Qin army.

In the eyes of Li Zuoche and others, these elite scouts were enough to find out the reality of the Qin army in one night.

Peng Yue was defeated here, Li Zuoche returned to the city completely, and Linghuda, who was waiting in battle, was relieved to hear the news.

He is not afraid of fighting, but if it is a night battle with an enemy army several times larger than himself, the situation is too unfavorable for them.

After all, there are only [-] cavalry in the [-]-strong army. In addition, they are the rear army that transports military supplies and do not carry heavy weapons such as large-scale continuous shooting crossbows. Cavalry is not conducive to charging and maneuvering at night. If it is a night battle, the result is hard to say.

The Jiuyuan Army has been invincible under the command of Meng Tian in recent years. Whether it is defeated or tied, it will greatly dampen the morale of the [-] Yuan Army who went north to quell the chaos.

Moreover, they are now deep in a dangerous place, without logistical supplies, if something goes wrong because of his recklessness, then he, Linghu Da, will really die.

In order to ensure everything is safe, Linghu Da asked the scouts to send people to monitor every move in the city, while continuing to let the army advance and speed up to join Meng Tian.

As soon as he entered the camp, Meng Tian came with hundreds of guards.

They also learned the news about the rear army, and Meng Tian let go of the heart that had been hanging on since receiving the letter.He is well aware of the disadvantages of the rear army. It is fine during the day, which is conducive to the maneuvering and charging of the cavalry, but the combat power is greatly reduced in the dark, and they have to carry a large amount of luggage at an extremely slow speed.Meng Tian originally planned to send someone to rescue him, but seeing that Linghu Da had come to join him, he felt relieved.

"The last general is waiting to meet the general!"

"No need to be polite, how about that?"

"The military resources are all there, and no one in our army was killed or injured. We were lucky to win a big victory."

Seeing this, Meng Tian let out a long breath and said, "Fortunately, fortunately. Do you know who is leading the army on the other side?"

"Reporting to the General, it is Li Zuoche, the grandson of the former General Zhao Li Mu."

Meng Tian frowned slightly.

He has never heard of Li Zuoche's name, but he has heard of Li Mu's name for a long time. Now that Zhao Miao has returned to the country, with Li Zuoche as the prime minister and general, he is almost powerful.

To be entrusted by Zhao Miao with state affairs, it can be seen that this person's ability must be extraordinary.

If it weren't for the blocking of the night, Zhao Jun in Julu City would have difficulty controlling their situation. In order to prevent the Qin Army from ambush, they dared not get too close.Otherwise, at this moment, what I received would be a report of defeat instead of a report of victory.

"No matter what, at least the army is safe and sound, and the brothers are ordered to rest quickly and continue to go north early tomorrow morning."

"Hi!"
