Chapter 123 Crisis!
At this moment, Xiang Yu watched the other party lead the thousands of heavily armored infantry retreat, but he did not dare to go in and pursue, because Xiang Yu knew that there were more than 100,000 Qin troops inside. Although the Qin army and the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Wu Guang fought fiercely for most of the day and were exhausted at this moment, he could not underestimate him.
"Retreat! Be careful of the crossbow inside!" Xiang Yu was very decisive and immediately led less than 600 cavalry left to evacuate from the range of the crossbows in the military camp, waiting for the arrival of the army behind.
···
Inside the military camp, there was a solemn look at this moment. Not only the Qin generals, but also the Qin soldiers, were all solemn. Because they all knew that they were tired now and there were many wounded soldiers. Now, there were suddenly 100,000 enemy troops outside, which was so critical at this moment.
"Meng Yi, what should I do now? The situation is very critical now for 100,000 enemy troops outside!" Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ying Tian leading his three thousand soldiers back, and then came to Meng Yi and asked Meng Yi.
At this moment, Meng Yi had already placed Ying Qiang's three thousand iron cavalry, Ying Tian's 4,000 heavy armored infantry, and Meng Qi's 50,000 Qin army armored soldiers to defend against the enemy troops that were getting closer and closer outside.
The remaining 890,000 soldiers were arranged by Meng Yi to go to the back camp of the military camp as much as possible. Because Meng Yi knew that if the opponent attacked hard, it would probably be impossible for these tens of thousands of tired soldiers to stop the opponent's attack.
"King, it's already dark now. My subordinates feel that they can't retreat at this time. At least they have to let the soldiers have a meal before talking about it, because today's battle is mostly for half a day, and..."
After hearing Meng Yi's words, Ying Zheng nodded. Ying Zheng also felt that he could retreat now, but the more than 100,000 soldiers who did not eat for most of the day, and the soldiers were exhausted now. Even if they escaped, they would probably be caught up. It would be better to bury the pot and cook the soldiers in this rebel camp, let the soldiers have a meal, and then make plans! But, if the army outside is in a verge, how dare you do such a dangerous thing?
"King, the enemy troops ahead are coming in full force. How did they know that we are fighting the rebels? Maybe Zhou Wen and the others are among them!" At this moment, Wei Xiao, who had not spoken since entering the military camp, finally spoke.
"Hmph, Gu knows that they are from the Southern Barbarian Chu, and the leader must be Xiang Liang!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
After hearing this, Meng Yi and Wei Xiao looked at each other, and then said to Ying Zheng in unison: "How do you know the king?"
"May guess, Xiang Liang must have to avenge him!"
“…”
At this time, to be honest, Wei Luo and Meng Yi had no good idea either.
The 300,000 rebels who had just defeated Wu Guang, and before the battlefield was cleaned, then 100,000 enemy troops emerged from the direction of Chen County. And now they have been forced to the front of the military camp, as the saying goes, they have been in trouble.
"Tell me the order of the front battalion, Mengqi, told the crossbowmen not to let the enemy approach the outside of the military camp! You must suppress it and use up all the arrow feathers!"
Immediately, Meng Yi issued this order!
Suddenly, hundreds of commanders immediately went to send orders.
In front of the military camp, Meng Yi led 50,000 Qin soldiers, and Ying Tian and Ying Jue led their own troops to block the gate of the military camp.
At this time, among the 50,000 Qin soldiers led by Mengqi, 30,000 were crossbowmen, and the remaining 20,000 were infantry soldiers.
At this moment, perhaps only these 30,000 crossbowmen have a little more strength than the soldiers of other troops.
At this time, 30,000 crossbowmen were all arranged in the front camp of the military camp. Only when the enemy troops outside the military camp approached their range, they would shoot them without hesitation!
···
At this time, Xiang Liang led the 100,000 troops to finally join Xiang Yu in front of the military camp, but as time goes by, the sky is getting darker and darker next!
"Uncle, what should I do now? The Qin army has entered the barracks. Should we fight hard and attack with one go?" Xiang Yu saw Xiang Liang leading 100,000 Chu soldiers from Jiangdong, and immediately rushed forward and asked.
At this time, the army led by Xiang Liang was only five hundred steps away from the front barracks. Seeing that he stared at the Nuo Da Army Camp with only a few ignitions in front of him, he pondered for a while, and did not immediately answer Xiang Yu's words.
To be honest, Xiang Liang was a little regretful at this time. He had known that he would have thought that the Qin army would approach Chen County, but he was still a few days late for the soldiers to come here because he was busy recruiting soldiers at that time.
Now, although the decisive battle between the Qin army and Wu Guang's hundreds of thousands of troops was already a little late at this time. If I could have come here a few hours in advance, I guess more than 100,000 Qin army were surrounded by them, instead of the entire Qin army slipping into the barracks now.
It is dark now, and the opponent has a military camp as the defender, Xiang Liang really dares not attack rashly!
Although the Qin army was exhausted at this time, the base of the more than 100,000 Qin army was too big! He now only has 110,000 troops!
And he was most afraid of the Qin army's crossbowmen!
So, now they all stopped at five hundred steps in the military camp and did not dare to go in rashly.
However, if the Qin army had given enough rest, they would probably not have such a good opportunity.
"Only not attack?" Xiang Liang was now struggling in his heart.
At this time, Ying Zheng sent all the food he could eat in his businessman's ring to the 50,000 soldiers and Ying Qiang Yingtian in the front camp.
However, most of the rings of Ying Zheng, the merchant, are filled with wine, snacks and other things, and there are basically no staple foods. And the amount is not very large, but it can also be divided into 10,000 or 20,000 people.
It can be considered as having a little bit of food.
At this moment, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and Wei Xiao were eating, and then discussing how to retreat for a while.
Anyway, it is impossible to stay here. The 100,000 enemy troops outside will attack forcefully no matter what. They cannot miss such a good opportunity!
"King, otherwise let the 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers in the rear camp retreat first, and then..." At this time, Meng Yi told Ying Zheng.
"If this is true, what should we do if the tens of thousands of soldiers in the front camp do? In this way, they will definitely not be able to escape!" Ying Zheng said a little disagree.
He couldn't make him give up the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!
To be honest, if the enemy outside wanted to attack the military camp, there were 30,000 crossbowmen in the front camp to resist, and it would be impossible for the opponent to attack in for a while, so Meng Yi asked the soldiers in the back camp to take a break quickly.
Maybe Meng Yi was negligent for a while, maybe Meng Yi was tired of commanding the army for one day, so the Qin army's approach is very dangerous now!
"King, no, the enemy may attack with fire!" Suddenly, the lieutenant exclaimed!
Suddenly, Meng Yi's face first turned aside, and then Ying Zheng's face also changed!
At this time, they all thought that if the enemy troops shoot the arrow feathers stained with tinder oil into the military camp, it would be broken!
If the other party attacks with fire, the rebel barracks will be engulfed by fire within a moment. Even if the people inside are not killed by the enemy outside, they will be burned to death!
Now, what should I do?!
"Now, if the opponent uses fire attack, then we can only retreat!" The lieutenant sighed. He was thinking about hiding into this rebel camp just now. Why didn't he expect that the enemy might use fire attack? But even if he thought about it, he had to enter this camp. If he didn't enter, he would probably have to fight the opponent faster. At this time, the tired soldiers fought with the opponent?
