Chapter 113 Not thin
His worries suddenly turned into a nightmare reality, which was the current situation of Duwei Bai Lin. The unscheming King Jing became scheming, which was unbelievable. Unfortunately, Bai Lin, who was on the east side of the central army, had no time to think about why King Jing became scheming. The Chu cavalry was shooting and slashing the officers and soldiers on the chariots behind the formation. As the Duwei, he was also one of the targets of the cavalry's attack.
With thousands of short soldiers protecting each other, the bows and arrows of the Chu knights still shot in anger, and a tent landed on the side of the chariot. The arrows could not damage Bai Linfen, but he could not send out military orders. Nearly 10,000 lieutenants were unable to advance or retreat on the spot because of the attack of the Chu cavalry, and they held spears on both sides.
The soldiers were not the targets of Chu cavalry for the time being, but Qu Hou, 2500 masters, 500 masters, 100 generals, and garrison chiefs..., the Chu army knights were attacking these people fiercely. Even if they were 2500 masters, there were only 100 short soldiers. The 100 short soldiers were scattered by the Chu cavalry. Even if the 2500 masters jumped out of the car and hid under the car, they were killed by the Chu cavalry.
Similar to Li Xin, Bai Lin also had a feeling of the end of the world in an instant. Bai Zhu, Huang Long and others shouted in his ears that he wanted him to retreat as soon as possible. If he did not retreat, there would be no time. The sound of the shogunate withdrawing troops was kept ringing. The reason why the entire lieutenant could not retreat was because of the Chu cavalry attack. The actions of the officers behind the formation made the soldiers feel fearful. Without the command of the officers, they were only stopping in the same place.
"What should we do? What should we do?" As soon as the Chu Qi passed by, the pale-faced Zuo Jiao Huang Long grabbed Bai Lin's armor and shouted. Bai Lin led his army to escape from death several times instead of once, which made everyone feel confident in him, believing that under his command, he could also escape danger this time.
"The situation is dangerous, and no more troops will be withdrawn..." Huang Long, the left school, shouted, while Su Fu, the right school, begged hard.
"I can..." Bai Lin looked back at the central military shogunate surrounded by Chu Qi. The flag was the back sign, which was ordering the entire army to retreat. Seeing the flag pointed at the back sign, he couldn't help but think of Li Xin's last proud gaze, which made him displeased.
"Beat the drum!" Without any thought, an order blurted out from his mouth.
"What do you mean?" He only had two left and right schools, Quhou, two or five hundred commanders, hundreds of generals, and most of the people in the camp were dead.
"Beat the drum!!" This time was Bai Lin's order after thinking about his brain. There was a Chu cavalry behind him who could not retreat, so could he move in?
‘Dongdongdongdongdong…’ The army Sima was dead, and Bai Zhu shook the drum. Hearing the sound of the drum, even though the drum man couldn’t believe the military’s fate, he still beat the drum in a hesitation. The sound of horse hooves, the sound of killing, the sound of cannons, the sound of snails... These sounds were mixed together, as if the turbid current of bubbles in the river berth, the sound of drums suddenly rang, and the Yu Jing, who represented the commander, also pointed forward quickly.
The arrow shot by Chu Qi came again, "Bang bang bang bang..." landed on the oar shield. Bai Lin seemed to have not realized it. He was staring at the military formation stranded in the place in front. If the soldiers could not hear the sound of drums or the feather flags, then everything was over; if they could hear and see, and obey the flags and drums, then everything had hope.
The drum sound was deafening, and Bai Lin, who was at least close to him, felt that the drum sound was very deafening, but the hundreds of military formations were ignored and there was no movement under his feet. The hope in Bai Lin's eyes turned into despair, and a grievance suddenly filled his heart. He lost his mind and jumped and shouted: "I can wait for you!! I can wait for you..."
There are good and bad commanders, some who take all the spoils for themselves, some who sell military rations to fill their own pockets, and some who treat unfair things to give them all the bad things to outsiders. Ordinary people always have a thinking: the winner is the best. However, in reality, the winner is not necessarily the best.
There are many disadvantages in Qin-style organization, but one advantage is enough: it can be copied almost infinitely;
Chu-style organization has all kinds of benefits, but one disadvantage is enough: it can only grow slowly;
Qin was a country of tigers and wolves, but the arguments of the elusive genius of the Confucian scholars were not the army of tigers and wolves. Taking the Qin system and Qin rules as the mold, the old Guizhou head as the foundation, the new surrender Dingkou from the newly occupied area was stuffed into the mold, pressed vigorously, and then cut off the excess, and a new lieutenant came out. It was as if the Shaofu made bronze arrowheads, and the Qin army was standardized and "cast" in this way.
The Chu army could not do this. Because not everyone could become a soldier of the Chu army. Some people even spoke Chu language, in the eyes of Dou Ge, they were not Chu people and could not enter the Chu army. Not everyone could become an officer. In the eyes of some old-fashioned nobles, even the honorary soldiers could not become officers, because many of them were originally common people.
Officers can only be descendants of nobles and nobles. In other words, officers are not trained or cast, but born from the uterus of noble women. This is naturally reminded of the joke of the Er German Army: before the war Congress asked the army to expand its army, and allocated funds and also provided the organization, but the army boycotted it because there were not enough officers from aristocratic origins.
The army that was cast was neither close nor related nor good, and the language was not understood. There were many things that everyone agreed with, but everyone agreed with: that was to behead as many as possible and seize as much as possible. The former was title, while the latter was money. The former was given by Qin, and the military officers were extremely strict in pursuing other countries; the latter was to plunder other countries, and the military officers turned a blind eye.
Since Bai Lin became the commander, he has been fair in his work and has not seek personal gain. From the right school to the young soldiers, he has treated them kindly. Unexpectedly, he did not expect that his army would be trapped in a heavy siege, and the soldiers turned a deaf ear to their military orders! Are the soldiers really willing to be captured and beheaded by the Jing people?
Bai Lin felt wronged, while the left and right schools felt frightened. If the soldiers did not obey military orders, how could they highlight the upcoming siege of the Jing people? The left school Huang Long couldn't help but say, "Everyone escapes."
A thousand soldiers can still be used to command a thousand soldiers to retreat north of Rushui, so Huang Long said this.
"Nonsense!" Bai Lin angrily rebuked. "I dare to praise the enemy again, I am the chief lieutenant, I am the chief lieutenant..."
Bai Lin's angrily cried out suddenly, and the army that had been standing still slowly moved forward in the sergeant's bell ringing. The Chu cavalry killed the Qin army officers, but they were unable to kill the sergeant in the army. They were deeply embedded in the military formation.
The reason for the slow reaction was not because Bai Lin treated them too poorly, but because the Qin army had never had the precedent for the Duke of Qu, two or five hundred masters, five hundred masters, hundreds of generals, and the trench chief directly commanded the military troops. Normally, accompanied by the sound of drums, the hundred generals and the trench chief behind the military formation called for the soldiers to advance. Without the order, the drum sounded Yu Jing ordered the military troops to advance. The trench chiefs with completely gray hair took on the responsibility of the trench chief and ordered the soldiers to advance.
The Qin army, a whole lieutenant, advanced forward, and a piece immediately emerged from the cracked front. The Chu army knights who flew parallel to the Qin army formation were a little confused. They didn't understand what the Qin army was doing.
"What should we do? What should we do?" In front of us was Shoushan, so of course, Quanwei could not advance to the foot of Shoushan.
"Hu..." Bai Lin took a deep breath, and he finally calmed down. He thought for only a moment. After sucking in one breath, he ordered: "Pick the round array flag!" After that, he looked ahead with a burning look, waiting for the entire lieutenant to change the formation.
Military formations have various formations. Armies that are trained with qualified training can evolve into various formations on the martial arts field, but these require the assistance of officers. The officers are incomplete, and relying solely on those sergeant commanders who may be illiterate at all may not be able to recognize the circular formation flag they have set out.
Bai Lin's concern was not unnecessary. He wanted the soldiers who had temporarily escaped from the attack of Chu cavalry to form a round formation. The more than 300-row military formations were shaken a few times, and then they began to change the formation. It was fine if the formation did not change, but the formation was completely chaotic. The Chu cavalry flew over and shot at the right time, and this chaos became even more unbearable. Just when he couldn't bear to look directly and wanted to close his eyes, the chaotic formation gradually became orderly.
The Quanwei did not form a formation on the spot, but advanced dozens of steps to form a formation at a further position. At first, they were dispersed by the Chu cavalry, and then gathered again, bit by bit, one by one, and a circular army formation formed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing this, Bai Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the drum sound immediately stopped. The southern finger of the Yujing turned into a northern finger, and the Quanwei began to retreat to Rushui with great strides.
Bai Lin believed that he was very good at treating the soldiers on weekdays, so the soldiers obeyed his military orders. But when the lieutenant saw him directly commanding the soldiers to form a round formation to retreat, he quickly ordered the entire lieutenant to advance and form a round formation to retreat. For a moment, except for the two lieutenants on the east side of the central army, the other six lieutenants formed a round formation and retreated northward, except for the two lieutenants on the outermost side, the two lieutenants on the east side of the Central Army were defeated by the Chu army turning over the eastern foot of the Shoushan Mountain, the other six lieutenants formed a round formation and retreated northward.
Although the Chu cavalry was blocked at the southern end of the floating bridge, there were the Qin army and the Qin army's boat troops left behind on the floating bridge, and there were the Qin army's central army retreating stairs. They had to give up the floating bridge and let the Qin army pass through.
The cavalry could raid quickly, and the Qin army's central army could actually retreat quickly under the cavalry, which was beyond Xiong Jing's expectations. At this time, he was standing at the top of an ammunition truck and scanning the entire battlefield with Lu Lijing.
The Qin army's Right Army, which was in the westernmost direction, had been strangled with the Zhao army, and it was almost impossible to retreat. Feng Jie, the general of the Right Army, was also dead, and his head was tied to the Yi spear by the Wei soldiers. The Zhao army soldiers were all very motivated when they saw it.
The central army led by Li Xin himself has been retreating in an orderly manner. Xiong Jing originally hoped that the cavalry could bite the central army on the east side and drag down the seven or eight lieutenants of the Qin people. Unexpectedly, six of the eight lieutenants formed a round formation and ran away, and the Chu infantry only dragged two of them.
The number of left-handed troops in the Qin army seemed to be no less than that in the central army of the Qin army. Although the 50,000 people fighting against zhi were all trying to hold back, unfortunately they could only hold up a part of them. As soon as the battle broke out, the Qin army retreated, and some of the lieutenants who were behind had already passed Rushui.
