Daqin Engineering Corps

Don't look at the fact that when Qin attacked Wei, the Chu Congress went to the rescue. In fact, there were often disharmony between the two countries and even large and small wars.

Shen Bing said:

"So good."

"Wearing black armor, I am not afraid of Chu riding crossbow arrows, but our bows and arrows can hurt the enemy."

"So why don't I ride by riding?"

Wei Wei couldn't help being taken aback:

"The lieutenant general means..."

Shen Bing nodded:

"Use the Black Armored Army to meet the enemy first, so that the enemy cannot restrain our infantry from transporting food."

Chen Duan looked at Shen Bing in puzzlement, and said:

"The black armored cavalry can ride and shoot. If they fight against the enemy's cavalry, they may be able to win more with less."

"But Rushui stretches for hundreds of miles, and we don't know where the enemy rides to cross the river, so how can we be the first to meet the enemy?"

Shen Bing shook his head and said:

"I don't need to know where the enemy is crossing the river, the enemy will come to find it."

Hearing the words, Wei Wei and Chen Duan couldn't help casting puzzled glances at Shen Bing again, how could an enemy come to him by himself?

Shen Bing smiled and said:

"The Chu army hoped that the food and grass would not fall into the hands of the Mengwu army, so they tried their best to intercept and kill the food transport team."

"But what if the Black Armored Cavalry brought hundreds of carriages full of food and grass to go north first?"

Wei Wei and Chen Duan couldn't help but "oh".

Obviously, the Chu army would not allow this batch of food and grass to fall into the hands of the Mengwu army, so they would inevitably send cavalry troops to intercept and kill them.

It's just that what these Chu cavalry soldiers didn't know was that they were the ones being intercepted and killed.

Chapter 2 Project Network

The military situation was urgent, and the Black Armor Army set off after only half an hour of preparation.

They accompanied the army with two hundred grain trucks.

It's just that the food trucks actually only have some food, and most of them carry arrows... The Black Armor Army needs a large number of arrows to fight.

Of course, outsiders don't know what these carriages are transporting, not even the Heijia Army except Chen Duan.

Before leaving, Chen Duan shouted loudly to his subordinates:

"The Mengwu army is in trouble, we must deliver the food and grass within two days!"

So what could be wrong?

Immediately, a spy passed the information to the Chu army.

Xiang Liang did not hesitate after receiving the information, and immediately ordered Xiang Luo to take the [-] cavalry troops that had been prepared to cross Rushui to prepare for the battle.

This network is Jiangdong's soldiers who have just been reinforced by Jiangdong.

Most of the children from Jiangdong are not good at riding because they live in dense forests with water nets.But there are always some exceptions. For example, Xiang Luo was born in a horse merchant and loves horses like his life. The word "luo" in this single name is the horse bridle.

Due to his family background, this Luo has been good at riding since he was a child. As a child of Jiangdong, he is also familiar with military books, so it is just right to use him to lead the cavalry.

At this time, as soon as Xiang Luo got the order, he led the troops across the river in high spirits.

When the horse neighed and people shouted at the ferry, Xiang Luo and the general looked at the map and discussed the strategy together:

"The enemy's first batch of food and grass has been escorted northward by the black armor army, with three thousand troops."

The general asked suspiciously:

"Black Armored Army? Aren't they a navy army?"

Xiang network replied:

"They were originally the cavalry army of the State of Wei, and they were trained as the navy army after Shen Bing took over."

"At this time, they turned into cavalry again."

The general couldn't help being silent when he heard the words.

After a while someone said:

"It is said that the rattan armor of the Black Armor Army is almost all over the body, not only light but also able to block arrows..."

The Chu army was once defeated by the Heijia army in Qiancheng, so of course they knew this.

But before he finished speaking, Xiang Luo replied:

"What about this?"

"This time it's a riding battle."

"And our army has more than [-] troops, while the Heijia army is no more than [-]."

"What's more, the Black Armor Army has to protect the food and grass..."

If there is something that needs to be protected, it is a tie, which will affect the mobility and flexibility of the cavalry.

The generals nodded.

This is indeed different from water battles, not to mention that a considerable part of the reason why the Black Armor Army can win in water battles is that they have wheel warships and poles.

Then Xiang Luo deployed a simple strategy against the enemy: set up an ambush in Ruanqiao Town to meet the enemy.

This strategy may seem simple, but it actually has articles.

To get to Ruanqiao Town, you have to cross a bridge first, and there are hills on the east and west sides of it.

Such terrain is very suitable for the Chu army to set up an ambush. Its cavalry can be divided into two groups and hide in the hills, and then surround and wipe out the enemy after they cross the bridge.

If the Qin army wanted to retreat, but could not withdraw for a while because there was only one bridge behind, they would be in an embarrassing situation.

All the generals took the order coaxingly, and then led the troops straight to Ruanqiao Town.

But Xiang Luo underestimated Qin Jun. How could he hide such an obvious ambush from Qin Jun?

Ruanqiao Town is only more than a hundred miles away from Ruyin, and the Heijia Army rushed to this town on the second day at the speed of the Heijia Army.

When Chen Duan saw the terrain, he stopped the large army, and then sent several teams of Qingqi to investigate.

These teams of Qingqi didn't need to go up the mountain at all, they just checked around the foot of the mountain and knew there must be an ambush.

The Chu army has tens of thousands of cavalry, and the hoofprints of the cavalry may be covered up, but the horse urine and dung left by the horses passing by cannot be completely removed.

The predecessor of the Black Armored Army was the cavalry of the State of Wei, and they were still elite cavalry, so of course they knew how to investigate.

Soon these teams of Qingqi returned to report to Chen Duan:

"Lieutenant, there are a large number of enemy troops ambushing ahead."

"It should be within the two forests on the left and right."

Chen Duan nodded, secretly thinking that the lieutenant had figured it out, and these Chu soldiers came to the door so quickly.

He looked at the map and ordered:

"The whole army goes up the river. There is a bridge ten miles to the west. We will cross the river through this bridge!"

The army responded and turned around.

This time, Xiang Luo couldn't hold his breath anymore. Not only was Qin Jun not fooled, but he also changed the direction of his march. Obviously, he saw through the ambush. If he continued like this, wouldn't he just watch them go around?

So he raised his hand and ordered the cavalry to attack.

With a long and thick sound of horns, the cavalry of Chu State turned out from the forest and behind the mountain, and they were densely packed everywhere, making Chen Duan's scalp feel a little numb.

Wang Ben is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and even a little excited when he meets the enemy for the first time.

He immediately asked Chen Duan:

"Lieutenant, my subordinates please fight the Queen."

But Chen Duan didn't want to think about it, so he replied:

"The whole army advances."

Wang Ben was a little puzzled, if there was no one in the rear... what would happen if the Chu army came up from behind?

Why not use the bridge behind you to get in first gear?

Then Wang Ben's eyes lit up, and he understood the intention of Chen Duan's order.

This is obviously to lure the enemy to chase, that is to say... the purpose of this battle is to find the main force of the Chu cavalry army?

The Chu army has been tricked!

If Shen Bing knew what Wang Ben was thinking, he would have to admire Wang Ben's extraordinary scheming again.

He just listened to Chen Duan's order and turned back all of Shen Bing's intentions, which was probably even more difficult than Shen Bing's plan.

Xiang Luo saw that the Qin army did not fight, and as expected, he ordered the cavalry to chase up from behind, and sent 5000 men to intercept the bridge seven miles away.

So the Chu cavalry army immediately divided into two teams.

In ancient times, it was difficult to take back the troops sent out with this order, especially the cavalry who rushed to the destination quickly.

In this era, it is no different from modern times when you can just send a telegram, and the messengers who deliver orders are also riding horses, and running at full speed is not much faster than cavalry.

Then, the Heijia army had only halfway forward when they suddenly split into two groups:

One way, 1000 people took the carriage carrying food and arrows back, and the other way, 2000 people brought enough arrows to return to Ruanqiao Town...

As I said before, carrying a wagon with supplies can be a bit of a hassle.

At that time, only half of the cavalry troops of the Chu army in Ruanqiao Town crossed the bridge, and suddenly they saw the black armor army coming back aggressively, and they couldn't help being in chaos.

Xiang Luo hurriedly ordered:

"Those who cross the bridge stand in battle."

"Those who have not crossed the bridge continue to cross the bridge!"

Although Xiang Luo knew that he had been hit by the enemy's plan to divide the troops, he was not panicked.

The reason is that Xiang Luo probably looked at the strength of the Black Armor Army, and it should be around 2000 people.

The Chu army had more than [-] cavalry troops who had already crossed the bridge, and the outcome of the fight was still unknown, not to mention that Chu still had additional troops.

However, in the next second, Xiang Luo soon realized that he was wrong.

Because the Heijia army rode their horses and passed in front of the Chu soldiers at high speed, each of them bowed their bows and set their arrows on the horse... Then the arrows "swish" into the Chu army's formation along with the wind and the inertia of the horses moving forward.

The Chu army immediately turned on their backs.

Xiang Luo looked at this scene in surprise... Heijiajun, how could he shoot with a bow on horseback?

Chapter 2 Riding and Shooting

The Heijia army passed in front of the Chu army like a gust of wind. The wind also brought several batches of dense arrow rain, and the Chu cavalry army was shot to death and injured more than a hundred people on the spot.

Where is Xiang Luo willing to let it go, and immediately ordered:

"Chase, don't let them escape!"

The subordinates responded in a loud voice and rode their horses to catch up.

There were more than [-] people in the first batch to catch up, and this team was led by a military officer named Zhang Zha.

Maybe it was because of the large number of people, or maybe it was because the Heijia army was "running away", so Zhang Za didn't feel scared at all, but was a little eager to make contributions.

So Zhang Za led the cavalry to chase at full speed from the beginning.

In the Qin Dynasty, when the cavalry fought against the cavalry, it was often taboo to be chased by the enemy.

Because being chased by the enemy means being in the front, this will become the enemy's target, and the enemy can safely shoot and aim at the rear.
