At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 91, the two armies met

After Wang Li led the main force of the 3 Qin army to completely recover all the cities in Yingchuan County, he continued to lead the army across the Mishui River and along the Qinchi Road to Yanling, the former capital of Chu State. His army was about to enter if it took one step forward. Chen Jun’s territory.

Although Wang Li was extremely arrogant towards He Yi and others, he was extremely cautious in dealing with Chen Jun's rebellion. Before entering Chen Jun, he dispersed his scouting horses and reached the farthest distance of thirty miles away from the army. His sense of caution can be traced back to his grandfather Wang Jian.

At this time, Wang Li once again recalled the information he had obtained from Xu Fan. He had information from Xu Fan's rebellion in Yang County to the annihilation of Qin's 10,000-strong army in the final field battle. However, Xu Fan's information made Wang Li feel confused.

Rebellion is not uncommon in the Qin State, but people like Xu Fan, who was born as a commoner, can quickly adapt to command tens of thousands of troops in field battles, and can defeat tens of thousands of troops. This is something that is difficult for the generals to do, and can even be said to be a miracle. , many of which cannot be explained by talented military talents.

Because talented generals have not been uncommon for hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but if the number of troops exceeds a thousand, it is difficult for the commander to directly command the army. He must rely on grassroots officers to command the army, which means that the military talents of the grassroots officers This is where the military's bottom line has always been.

Wang Li was able to command 300 Qin troops by relying on the Qubu left by his grandfather. These Qubu had more than ten years of military experience. These Qubu were dispersed in the army and became mid-level officers such as village commanders and five hundred commanders. Only then could he command the -strong army. This is not because of his high military talent, but because of the deep foundation of the Wang family.

But Xu Fan is a country master. Where does he have the background to command an army of tens of thousands? He didn't believe that Xu Fan was a born general. Even his grandfather did not have such military talent.

What surprised him the most was that Xu Fan was obviously a southerner but was talented at commanding cavalry. In several of his victories, he led the cavalry to assault and win. It was too weird that a southerner relied on cavalry to win. Wang Li guessed that Xu Fan might be from the northern border general, or even from Zhao.

While Wang Li was deep in thought, the scouts arrived quickly.

"General, we saw enemy cavalry 30 miles away from us."

Wang Li was surprised and said: "This rebel army actually dares to take the initiative to attack. How many of them are here?"

"Judging from the enemy smoke, there were tens of thousands of them."

"Keep exploring, be sure to know exactly how many enemies there are!"

"No!" The scout captain flew out again.

"Send my military order, the front army should stop advancing, form a dense formation, and prepare to meet the enemy." Wang Li shouted loudly.

The messengers around Wang Li immediately went to various armies to convey Wang Li's orders. The soldiers of the Qin army quickly gathered together and set up a defensive posture.

"General, are the rebels here?" Qin Army officers asked one after another.

Wang Li mocked: "We haven't gone to eliminate the rebels yet, but we didn't expect that they would come to our door. We just came to report that there are tens of thousands of rebels ahead. Judging from the information obtained by Chen County, there are only There are more than 2 rebels, they must have left in full force."

Wang Ying said happily: "It's a great credit from heaven. Our army was able to defeat two groups of rebels in a row."

The other captains of the Qin army were also overjoyed. Firstly, they were happy to have destroyed the rebel army. Secondly, they could catch up with the Wei army that destroyed the rebellion. Compared with Xu Fan, who was born among the grassroots, his contribution to capturing Wei Jiu, the eldest son of Lord Xinling, was obviously greater. .

When the Qin army's scouting horses discovered Xu Fan and the others, Xu Fan's scouting horses also discovered traces of the Qin army.

Xu Fan immediately said to Wu Sheng: "You command the exploration horses to cover the battlefield. Don't let the Qin army's exploration horses get close to the 5 miles of the main army. At the same time, you must get as much intelligence as possible on the enemy." Then he immediately called Ji Bu and others, and everyone discussed how to fight this battle. war.

Ying Bu said: "How else can we fight? Of course we see the Qin army rushing to fight. The rebel soldiers have trained for so long, eaten so much food, and grown so much meat, just to destroy the Qin army."

In Yingbu's view, the rebel soldiers' combat effectiveness has increased several times after three months of rigorous training, and it is easy to defeat 3 Qin soldiers.

Chen Xiao, who joined the army, retorted: "The elite soldiers of the Qin State led by Wang Li are completely different from the Qin soldiers of Chen County led by Bai Meng. It is too dangerous to rush forward recklessly."

Yingbu said disapprovingly: "Our rebel army is not counted as the rebel army a few months ago. The army is all elite, so who is afraid of whom? Moreover, with the flat terrain of Chen County, there was no use of tactics when Wang Jian and Xiang Yan's millions of troops fought here. You are more powerful than these two famous generals, what strategies can you come up with to defeat the Qin army?"

Chen Xiao didn't know how to refute Yingbu for a while. Just like what Yingbu said, Chen County is a flat plain with only two rivers, Honggou Shui and Mishui, running across the entire Chen County. This kind of terrain has no room for strategy.

Ji Bu thought deeply: "In the current situation, any strategy is useless. Our rebel army has no retreat. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win."

Deng Zong followed up and said: "Brother Ji Bu is right. Everyone in our rebel army has a deep hatred for the Qin army and is not afraid of fighting the Qin army."

"It's a life for everyone, no one is afraid of whom!"

Everyone was inspired by the words of Yingbu and Jibu, and expressed that they were not afraid of fighting the Qin army because they all had a deep hatred for the Qin army.

Xu Fan saw the crowd and said: "We can't just fight head-on. The Qin army is superior to our rebels in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness. Let alone whether they can win, even if they win, our rebels will suffer heavy casualties. No The ability to continue the offensive, Da Qin has a million troops, even if they lose these 3 troops, their vitality will not be damaged, but our loss of is an unbearable burden for the rebels."

"Then how to fight?" Yingbu asked.

Xu Fan said: "The Qin army is strong, but our rebel army is not without its strengths. That is, our cavalry is stronger than the Qin army. Only by making good use of the cavalry advantage can we defeat the Qin army."

Xu Fan continued: "Ji Bu, you are the infantry commander. You command 2 infantry to find a way to contain the main force of the Qin army and disconnect the main force of the Qin army from their commander. I command the cavalry to use beheading tactics to see the opportunity and rely on the cavalry. The powerful assault capability kills Wang Li and the commander is killed. The Qin army will definitely lose and collapse. Our army will then cover up the attack with all our troops, so that we can annihilate the Qin army with minimal casualties."

Ji Bu worriedly said: "This is too risky. How about I command the cavalry to attack."

"It's better for me to go, General You is the leader of our rebel army, we can't take such risks!" Yingbu said.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Wang Li must be protected by the elite Qin army. If the rebel cavalry troops did not defeat Wang Li's soldiers, they would be surrounded by the Qin army, and Xu Fan would be in extreme danger.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "You have no experience in commanding cavalry, and you are not as good as me in martial arts. Who else would be better than me as a general who can break the formation?"

Xu Fan spoke so firmly that no one tried to persuade him anymore.
