Chapter 125 Battle of the Barracks!
Along the way, Meng Yi and Wei took 90,000 Daqin soldiers quickly to the mountains. At this time, they did not light a torch. Although it was dark, the moon was still bright, so they could still march.
When they walked out one or two miles together, they turned back to the military camp behind and found that the front camp in the rear was already in full swing.
"Old Wei, it seems that the front camp has been lost. Wouldn't the king and the others be in danger?" Meng Yi said worriedly while looking at the sky-rushing fire behind.
"General Meng, don't worry. Now our mission is to lead these 90,000 soldiers to retreat safely, so that they can be worthy of the king. And I think the king should be able to retreat!" Wei Er advised Meng Yi.
"This...well..."
"Order, the whole army will enter the mountain at a speed..."
···
Just as Meng Yi retreated with his army, there was a fierce battle in the front camp of the military camp!
I saw that outside the military camp, ten thousand Chu army shield soldiers were taking neat steps, with five thousand crossbows inserted in the middle, coming towards the military camp where the Qin army was located.
Five hundred steps...Four hundred steps...300 steps!
"Shoot!" In the barracks, Mengqi immediately shouted when he saw that the enemy outside Junying began to approach the range of the crossbow.
In an instant, the 30,000 crossbows were all in a unified manner, lifting 45° strong crossbows and aiming at the enemy troops outside the military camp.
Next moment!
"Swoosh swish swish!" Flashes of sharp arrows broke through the air.
Suddenly, 15,000 arrow feathers immediately took off, and immediately gathered into a huge terrifying arrow, and even the rising moon was blocked.
"Brush!"
In an instant, 15,000 arrows immediately smashed the approaching Chu army on the head.
"Ding Ding Ding..."
"Puff puff puff..."
Suddenly, a sound of sharp arrows hitting the shields above the Chu army's heads, and some of the sounds of flesh being shot into it sounded.
At this time, the five thousand crossbowmen of the Chu army also shot out 2,200 arrow feathers, and immediately shot towards the Qin army in front of the military camp.
After the first wave was shot, the second wave of both sides began!
The Qin army was still 15,000. In less than five seconds after the first shot, the second wave fell to the head of the Chu army again.
Although the Chu army was protected by shields, the power of the powerful crossbow still penetrated the shields in the hands of the Chu army soldiers, and then suddenly penetrated their heads hiding behind the shields!
And those Chu army crossbowmen who had no cover suffered heavy losses!
In the third wave, the 10,000 shield players in the front of the Chu army suffered more than one thousand casualties, while the 5,000 crossbowmen lost nearly a thousand!
At this time, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in the central army saw that the soldiers in front were nailed to the ground by the sharp arrows of the Qin army, and they were full of anger. Xiang Yu almost rushed into the camp and started to kill all directions.
"The Qin army's crossbow is indeed powerful. Back then, our Chu State was also defeated by the Qin army's crossbow!" Xiang Liang's eyelids twitched, his eyes gazed ahead, and murmured with a heavy expression, as if he remembered the past.
"Hmph, uncle, don't be more ambitions and destruction of one's own might. If we rush into the camp, we won't kill these Qin dogs without leaving any armor!" Xiang Yu said with disdain. He was a guy who thought he was awesome. However, after he fought with the young master of Qin just now, he knew in his heart that that person was not worse than him. So, Xiang Yu is now full of anger, and he wanted to rush into the Qin army quickly and kill all directions!
"Yu'er, don't be reckless. Although the Qin soldiers in the military camp ahead were exhausted, there were still more than 100,000 people inside. We cannot underestimate the enemy!" Xiang Liang said to Xiang Yu with a serious expression.
After hearing this, Xiang Yu could only nodded because he listened to Xiang Liang's words very much.
At this time, although the rain of arrows from the Chu army was not as good as that of the Qin army, they shot arrows with flames. In an instant, thousands of arrows with fire fell on the tents in the military camp and some flammable objects. Since it was winter and the cold wind was bleak, a fire immediately ignited in the front camp.
At this time, the Chu army outside the military camp was less than a hundred steps away from the gate of the military camp after paying the price of the life of the military camp.
"Extinguish the fire!" Mengqi shouted, ordering the 20,000 infantry soldiers to put out the fire.
But at this time, Ying Zheng stopped Mengqi's actions.
"Mengqi, don't put out the fire, it's good to catch a fire. This will block the enemy troops ahead. Let's retreat while fighting!" Ying Zheng shouted to Mengqi.
When Mengqi heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he respectfully said to Ying Zheng: "No."
At this time, Meng Qi remembered that the 90,000 soldiers in the rear camp had retreated with General Meng Yi, so they now wanted to hold back the enemy in front, rather than fighting to the death with the enemy.
"Tell me the order, 20,000 infantrymen will retreat to the central camp, and go to the grain warehouse in the rear camp to carry some food that can be taken away!" Ying Zheng immediately ordered.
"promise."
Suddenly, 20,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty retreated to the central camp, and also went to the rear camp to take away some food that they could carry with them, almost everyone brought a little.
"Yingtian, Yingqiang, you must protect the 30,000 crossbowmen in front and not let the enemy rush in. If you really can't stop it, retreat to the central camp immediately!" Ying Zheng gave another order to Yingtian and Yingqiang.
"promise."
At this time, due to a fire ignited in the front camp, the 30,000 crossbowmen also retreated slightly, retreated to the back end of the front camp, and continued to shoot fiercely in front.
"boom!"
Finally, after suffering heavy casualties, the Chu army's front troops rushed outside the gate of the military camp. At this time, they looked at the raging fire at the gate, but they did not see the trace of the Qin army inside, which made the Chu army generals puzzled.
At this time, Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and others also came to the front of the army. Xiang Liang saw that the arrow rain of the Qin army inside had obviously weakened, and the fire in the front camp was not extinguished by the Qin army. Xiang Liang, who was alert, frowned.
"Hey, did the Qin army give up the front camp so easily and retreat to the center camp? It's impossible. Does the other party want to use the fire in the front camp to block our way? Haha... If so, they will definitely lose. We sent two teams of troops around their center camp..." Xiang Yu saw that the Qin army disappeared in front of the gate, and even the arrow feathers were much rarer, and he couldn't help but say with pride.
"No, are they retreating?" Xiang Liang exclaimed.
"Retreat? Uncle, they are all tired troops, how dare they retreat easily?!" Xiang Yu said in confusion.
At this time, two scouts rushed towards Xiang Liang, then immediately turned over and dismounted to Xiang Liang and said, "General, the enemy has retreated to the central camp, but there are Qin's crossbowmen at the back end of the front camp, but the enemy's rear camp did not find many Qin soldiers. At this time, the two generals Xiang began to conflict with the enemy's central camp..."
When Xiang Liang heard the reports of the two scouts, his face changed immediately, and then he looked at the back mountain not far from the military camp ahead.
"No, can the Qin army retreat likewise, leaving half of them to resist us...they..."
