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

Chapter 262
Chapter 262
Following the direction the guard said, Wang Ben had already seen countless Chu troops holding torches shouting and attacking the [-] Qin troops on the downstream bank.

The commander of the school lieutenant of the [-] Qin army is an old man of the Wang family.The scouts who had just landed informed them before riding their horses to tell Wang Ben.So at this moment, the [-] soldiers of the Qin army who were originally facing Wu Rui's troops on the opposite bank had all shifted their direction and met the Chu army that suddenly appeared.

It is absolutely impossible for Qin Jun not to be surprised by the sudden appearance of at least tens of thousands of enemy troops at his side.But fortunately, they were well-trained, and the captain was calm and composed. After quickly shifting their formation, they directly attacked the Xiang family's army.

Wang Ben looked at the sudden appearance of densely packed enemy troops with some doubts but also some gratitude.

If the scouts under his command hadn't warned them in advance, these rebels who appeared suddenly would have caught them by surprise, and by then, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Bring him into the camp to heal his wounds." Wang Ben ordered his personal guards.

"No." Immediately, two personal guards rode out and helped the scout who had been shot unconscious by the arrow onto the horse and ran towards the rear camp.

The [-] Qin army and Xiang Yu's army downstream here fought together.

The first to show off its power is still the large crossbow machine of the Qin army.With a sharp whistling sound, several thick crossbow arrows more than three feet fiercely inserted into the swarming Xiang Yu's army formation.

The thick crossbow arrows bit off a large piece of Xiang Yu's army swarming in.

"Father commander! Look, the enemy army on the south bank is about to cross the river." Wang Li has been paying attention to the Baiyue barbarian enemy army on the south bank who have been waiting for an hour and have not made any move since Xiang Yu's army appeared.

Wu Rui, who had been anxiously watching the north bank and looking forward to the appearance of Xiang Yu's army, saw the sudden appearance of a large group of torches on the other bank, and his straight back suddenly softened.

These two hours were like being in hell for him. If Xiang Yu couldn't arrive in time, the only thing he could do was to force the soldiers who had already boarded the ship to disembark and return to the village.

But doing so will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of most Baiyue soldiers, and even completely wipe out his prestige in Baiyue, and completely lose the support of all ethnic groups in Baiyue.

At this moment, Xiang Yu's appearance completely relaxed him, and his exhaustion made him speechless.

"Cross the river!"

Wu Rui tiredly gave the order to attack.

The tens of thousands of barbarians who had been waiting impatiently rushed towards the opposite bank, howling, rowing boats or rafts.

"Is it finally here?" Wang Ben snorted coldly looking at the countless boats on the river.

"Wang Li, order the upstream and midstream armies to kill all these Baiyue barbarians in the river, and none of them can go ashore! This general will personally lead the army to deal with Xiang Yu." Wang Ben ordered loudly.

"promise!"

At this moment, Nanyang City in the rear suddenly burst into flames, and faint shouts of killing could be heard. Wang Ben's heart suddenly sank when he heard the sound.

A fast horse suddenly came galloping from the direction of Nanyang, and shouted from afar: "Taiwei, Nanyang, Nanyang is under attack."

Wang Ben panicked. Although there are [-] troops in Nanyang City, judging from the sound, the enemy army is definitely a large number.

The Qin army often deployed a small number of sentry cavalry within five miles around the battlefield. The main purpose of these sentry cavalry wandering outside the battlefield was to prevent the army from being attacked.

In the beginning, because Wu Rui's move across the river attracted the attention of almost all the scouts of the Daqin Bai faction outside, so the scout soldiers of the scout battalion generally concentrated on the upper and lower reaches of the north bank of the Huaihe River to investigate, which also led to the invisible weakening of the inland surveillance of the north bank. Not a lot.

Later, the scouts of the Qin Army discovered the Chu army led by Long Qie, and Wang Ben sent part of his troops to deal with Long Qie, not noticing that a big hand suddenly appeared in the dark night.

Wang Jian guarded the city, the soldiers in the city were naturally relieved in every possible way, but they did not expect that an army appeared outside Nanyang City.

Chen Yu looked at Nanyang in front of him and gave an order, and the surrounding soldiers launched a fierce attack on Nanyang.

The thunderous hoofbeats were extremely shocking in the silent night.

There was no need for the scouts cruising outside to report. Wang Jian, who had been staying on the tower, knew that there were enemy cavalry coming when he felt the ground shaking, and these cavalry were obviously not his own. His tens of thousands of troops are now on the banks of the Huaihe River. Standing by the side, he will definitely not return suddenly without a military order.

Wang Jian had just told everyone to be on guard, and Chen Yu's thousands of war cavalry had passed through the darkness and appeared within sight.

"Enemy attack!"

Through the blurred light on the city wall, he could at least see clearly that these galloping cavalry were not the standard black armor that Qin soldiers were equipped with, and immediately he was sure that these must be enemies.

Right now he has no time to think about who these enemies are and how they came here suddenly.

Following Wang Jian's loud shout, the Qin army, which had been on guard before, immediately took action, and a large number of soldiers poured into the city.

Wang Jian was a little embarrassed at this time.

In the past, at this distance, if the enemy dared to approach, the machine crossbow on the city wall would allow them to drink a pot, but now, even if he wanted to use it, there was nothing he could do.

Nine times out of ten, all the crossbows were taken away by Wang Ben to greet Wu Rui's army crossing the river.

Although there were no large crossbow machines in the city, they still had hand crossbows, and there were many horse-repelling posts and horse pits outside the city to prevent the enemy from sneaking in, so Wang Jian was not worried at all.

What's more, as the supreme commander of the Qin army, although he can only vaguely see the black shadow of the iron cavalry rushing in the city, he can still hear from the sound of galloping horses that there should not be too many enemy troops sneaking up. They will never exceed the soldiers they stick to.

For the soldiers of the Qin army, Wang Jian is still very confident.Although these soldiers may not be the elite of the Jiuyuan Army, they are not afraid to deal with some rebellious armies of the Six Nations even if they come twice.

On the horse, Chen Yu's eyes were full of excitement.

This time, after they learned about the battle between Chu and Qin, they secretly planned to gain some benefits while the two tigers were fighting.

In order to achieve the greatest victory, Zhang Er also gave him all the most elite thousands of cavalry in his hands. Looking at the city in front of them, they did not have the slightest fear.

Chen Yu stood in front of the formation with a big knife in his hand, and the iron cavalry behind him who had been galloping like the wind immediately reined in their horses and stopped.

From galloping to stillness, there is no panic in the movement and stillness, and it is strict and uniform.

Looking at the iron cavalry in front of him, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel a sinking heart. Only the most elite Jiuyuan iron cavalry in Daqin can do so.

Such an enemy came to attack Nanyang, and the pressure on Nanyang can be imagined.

"Command brothers, wait for the enemy to approach before launching an attack."

"promise!"
