Chapter 519 Meng Tian Comes Again

Chapter 534: Meng Tian Comes Again

Hearing that the enemy troops in front were retreating, Zhang Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The Jiuyuan army is never afraid of night battles, but if it fights at night with an enemy army that is several times its size and most of them are infantry, it will be very disadvantageous to his former army.

This is a critical moment for unification. If there is little negligence, I am afraid that I will be infamy for thousands of years.

As soon as Zhang Wu ordered the army to set up camp, Meng Tian arrived in person with hundreds of personal guards.

Seeing that Zhang Wu didn't rush forward to attack the enemy army, Meng Tian let go of the heart that had been hanging around since receiving the letter.He was well aware of the disadvantages of the former army. It was fine during the day, which was conducive to the maneuvering and charging of the cavalry, but the combat power was greatly reduced in the dark.

As soon as Meng Tian arrived at the gate of the camp, Zhang Wu came out to greet him with all the generals.

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

"No need to be polite, Zhang Wu, how can you set up camp at this time? If the Zhao army takes advantage of the situation to attack, can your [-] former troops be able to resist it? Humph!" Meng Tian turned over and dismounted, and shouted loudly when he saw Zhang Wu. .

Hearing Meng Tian's words, Zhang Wu smiled wryly and said, "General, please calm down. The final general ordered our army to set up camp here after receiving the news that the Zhao army retreated [-] li. It's just that the letter has not been reported to the general yet."

Meng Tian was silent for a while when he heard Zhang Wu's words, and after a while he ordered: "Order the army and the rear army to come here to camp tonight. Tomorrow the army will march to Handan."

"Here!"

On the second day, the sun had just risen, and there was a rush of drums, and the silent Qin army camp began to get busy. After breakfast, the [-] troops began to prepare to move forward. Last night, the middle army and rear army received Meng Tian's call The order has arrived at the camp overnight.

An hour later, the [-] or [-] original troops had completed their formation, and they were still advancing with the arrangement of the front, middle and rear troops.

It's just that the former army has now become [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, and it is still under the command of Zhang Wu: Meng Tian's central army has [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, and the remaining [-] infantry are responsible for food, grass and supplies.

Not long after the Qin army took out the stronghold, Peng Yue received a message from the scouts.

In fact, the battle started as early as yesterday night. Not only did Peng Yue want to find out the real situation of the Qin army, Meng Tian also wanted to find out the real situation of the Zhao army, so after the two armies set up camp, they all went out to scout and ride everywhere, not only to prevent the other side from attacking the camp, More importantly, it is to detect the other party's military situation.

In the dark night, the scouts and plundering posts of the two armies pierced through the two camps separated by forty miles. On the road, in the wilderness, in the mountains and forests, almost wherever the scouts of the two armies came across, there would be an immediate battle. You fight to the death.

Espionage is anti-espionage, and investigation is anti-investigation.

It can be said that at this time, the Qin Dynasty and even the whole of China had reached the peak of classical warfare, and all the details here were almost completely known to the soldiers.

This night was extremely long for Peng Yue and the others.

Because in this night alone, most of Peng Yue's scouting army was lost at once, and hundreds of people never came back after going out. It is not necessary to think that they died on the way to investigate the truth of the Qin army.

Compared with the tragic situation of Peng Yue's scout army, the loss of scouts in the Daqin army was much less, dozens of people were injured and no one was killed.The Jiuyuan Army was originally the most elite army in the Qin Dynasty, and the Jiuyuan scouts who can make the fierce Xiongnu scouts talk about their expressions are even more elite among the elite.

Compared with the scouts of the Jiuyuan Army, Peng Yue's scouts were completely different.

After a night of probing and secret fighting, Peng Yue, Bang Tuo and other generals became more and more uncertain.

Especially the scout soldiers, who they regarded as the elite, lost more than half of them in just one night, but did not find any useful information, which greatly frustrated Peng Yue and others.

The Qin army was advancing, and the front army's [-] black-armored infantry lined up in a neat line, rushing straight towards Peng Yue's army like a mountain.

"General, since we don't know the real situation of the Qin army now, the only thing we can do is the first battle. The army is strong, but we can't hold out. With the food and grass of our army, and Handan is only a hundred miles away from where we are now, I think the king will make a decision after receiving the letter. When the reinforcements arrive, we can wait. Attack the Qin army back and forth, and you will surely win in one battle."

Bangtuo also felt that the current situation was very difficult. He attacked rashly without knowing the strength of the Qin army. With Meng Tian's ability and the advantages of the Qin army's weapons, it would be better if he was outnumbered. If he was outnumbered, it would be better. Then my [-] army will probably be wiped out.

Peng Yue had no idea, after all, he had lost to Meng Tian before, and at this moment when the country was in danger, he didn't want to fight again easily.

But at this moment, Bangtuo's suggestion obviously not only satisfied his desire to compete with Meng Tian, ​​but also saved the army from losing. He even thought about the future counterattack, which can be said to be the best policy.

Subsequently, Zhao Jun's [-] troops began to set up camp.Then the camp was set up again at the foot of a solitary mountain about [-] meters high. Horse traps, horse tripping ropes, horse-rejecting stakes, copper thorns, copper nails and other objects were widely spread outside the camp, leaving only a strip no more than ten meters wide in front of the camp gate. There is a road of more than ten feet in and out.

An hour later, [-] Qin soldiers in bright black armor appeared on Julu's southward avenue.

Peng Yue and the others had been watching the road going south from the hill, so Peng Yue and Bang Tuo had just seen the army before Mengtian's [-] infantry.

Under the rising sun, two flags with a height of more than three feet and two characters of "Qin" and "Meng" fluttered high on the black background. After the two flags, more than ten thousand infantry marched over with vigorous steps. The bright black armor exuded a black-gold light, causing Peng Yue and the others to squint their eyes involuntarily.

Followed by more than ten thousand infantrymen are at least ten thousand cavalry in black armor, and the strong and tall horses under their crotches pace leisurely and contentedly.

Peng Yue and others knew that the Qin army on the road had discovered them and others long ago. The war was coming, but they were still so leisurely. It was obvious that both the knights on the horses and the horses under them were brave men who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Compared with before, the strength of the Jiuyuan Army has improved a lot.

These Qin troops did not take their own army of [-] people seriously.

Behind the capable cavalry, the first thing to appear is a five-foot-high dental flag, with a black satin base that is more than one foot wide and five feet long, and the one-foot-large "Mongolian" character on it is shining in the sun.

When Peng Yue and others saw this huge tooth flag, they knew that Meng Tian's Chinese army should be behind this tooth flag.

At this time, Peng Yue, Bangtuo and the others were already feeling chilled in their hearts.

Let's not talk about Meng Tian, ​​the elite of the Nine Plains Army and the excellent weapons.The front army alone has almost 2 people under the visual inspection of Peng Yue and others, and the front army is generally only a part of the whole army, and there are even larger central and rear troops.

"Can such a Qin army really win?"
