Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 333 The soldiers are divided into three groups, and the coalition forces retreat
"Is it really good to do this? They actually covered the entire city with arrow rain..."

In front of the Mongolian Sea, in the grassland, the [-] Hun troops put away their bows and arrows one after another.

Everyone was a little worried and angry, staring at Chang Yu who was giving orders in front of the battle.

In the three arrow rains just now, the people in the city may have suffered countless casualties...

Although they didn't know who Chang Yu was, they could know that he was not from the Huns.

For him to give that kind of order, he definitely wouldn't care about the lives of the people!
If the Hun King hadn't given orders before them, they wouldn't have listened at all when Chang Yu gave them.

Li Si and Meng Yan were also a little dumb, exchanging glances in astonishment behind Chang Yu.

They have never heard of this kind of tactic. This is not to repel the coalition army, it is a complete massacre of the city!
Originally, Chang Yu didn't want to explain too much, but seeing their doubts and the army's complaints, he had no choice but to explain it to them.

"There is no coalition army outside the city, right?"

Looking around, you can see that there is indeed no coalition army.

Chang Yu asked again: "On the Mongolian sea, there are only ships, but no coalition troops, right?"

Although I don’t know what the name of the Mongolian Sea is, I know that there are indeed ships on that big lake but no coalition troops.

"What do you want to say?" a general said in a low voice.

"According to previous reports, the coalition forces should not have left yet."

"Since they haven't left, they're not on the boat, let alone in front of the city gate...then where are they?"

Chang Yu glanced at them, and said slowly: "We have [-] soldiers and horses coming in mighty force, it is impossible for them not to know."

"However, they are not here. They are arrayed where we can see them. What does it mean?"

Meng Yan, who was pondering at the side, took the conversation and said: "Wait for us to approach in the city, maybe we will shoot arrows..."

On the grassland, the vast and unobstructed, the conflict between the two armies and archery is the fastest way to injure each other and win the victory.

If you want to say, the Xiongnu army is in the open and the coalition army is in the dark. They are the ones who can stand still.

In this way, it is completely an opportunity for them to shoot arrows, will they miss it?

Since I didn't see it in the bright place, it must be in the dark, that is, behind the city wall.

As I said earlier, they wiped out the over ten thousand Hun army, which shows that the other side also has over ten thousand troops.

With so many people lining up in the city, they will occupy the streets, large and small, and even the roofs may be filled with people.

In this way, it is impossible to let the common people on the street, which will hinder them from shooting arrows.

"The coalition forces are all on the streets. If the people are allowed to come out, it will interfere with them to a great extent..."

"So, I am very sure that the people are not in the open, but in various buildings."

"Three rounds of arrow rain have passed. I can't guarantee that no civilians will be injured, but the coalition army will be severely damaged to a large extent."

There will be no war without civilians retreating unscathed, and some necessary sacrifices are part of the process of victory.

Suppressing the loss to the minimum so as not to cause many civilian casualties is what Chang Yu should consider.

Otherwise, if you don’t shoot arrows and go straight there, they will definitely shoot arrows to meet them, and they will inevitably go to civilians’ homes to fight during the siege. In this way, civilian casualties will rise in a straight line. At that time, it will be called a real massacre, and the coalition army may also Will use this to get out of the way.

Even if Chang Yu miscalculated, the people in the city mixed with the coalition army... trying to use them as bargaining chips to threaten.

Thinking of this, Chang Yu pondered for a moment, and then said slowly and calmly: "If I kill innocent people indiscriminately, I will bear full responsibility."

It is said that the group of Huns fell silent, and this analysis is not unreasonable, but it is guesswork after all.

Just when everyone was silent, a Hun soldier who was rushing back, shouted excitedly: "Report--they retreated!"

He is a member of the advance team, responsible for investigating the situation on the front line, and he came back with good news at this moment!

Sure enough, as Chang Yu guessed, more than half of the coalition forces in the city were killed and injured and are retreating!
Don't mention how excited they were when they saw the coalition troops retreating from the back gate in a state of embarrassment.

Although civilians were killed and injured, it was not a large-scale massacre, which was within the acceptable range of war.

Immediately, Meng Yan raised his saber: "Charge!"

"The troops are divided into three groups, don't attack the city yet!" Chang Yu added and shouted.

"Walk around the edge of the city to the edge of the lake, and the rest follow me to the edge of the city!"

"Okay!" Several generals were ordered, and immediately led out their respective teams, and the troops were divided into three groups.

Chang Yu stepped on the stirrup and walked towards the city gate first, followed by Li Si and Meng Yan.

"You don't want to confront me, right?" Li Si said solemnly, "Aren't you afraid of their counterattack?"

"Don't worry, they are already retreating, even if they counterattack, it will not be large-scale."

The cavalry of the advance team said excitedly beside him: "You didn't see it with your own eyes. They retreated crying, but they are in a mess!"

After three rounds of arrow rain attacks, many companions died by their side, or they were also shot by arrows, of course they would be so scared that they would cry.

Of course, this was all thanks to Chang Yu's dirty tricks, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to retreat so easily.

Since the birth of tactics, there have been no rules or fairness. Anything that can win is called tactics.

If you want to blame, blame him for being so careless. I didn't expect that there would be such a cruel person who would use civilians as a bargaining chip.

Of course, Chang Yu is not that ruthless. He and Li Si decided on the tactics after repeated deliberation.

It turned out that the bet was right, three consecutive arrow rains fell, and the casualties and injuries of the [-] coalition troops also fled at this moment.

Just as they were approaching the city gate, there was a sound of piercing through the air, pointing directly at Chang Yu's forehead!

call out!
Chang Yu, who had a heightened sense of crisis, raised his head and saw an arrow rapidly magnifying in his eyes!
Ding!
The sword slashed out horizontally, and the arrow fell to the ground in two halves in front of Chang Yu's eyes.

"Who shot the arrow in the back!" Meng Yan rode a horse and stood in front of Chang Yu to prevent another arrow in the back.

Suppressing the horror in his heart, Chang Yu stared slightly at Prince Yueshi who was holding a bow and arrow on the city wall with a gloomy face.

"If you talk about backstabbing, you guys did it, right?!"

When Prince Yueshi spoke, the Huns who followed behind all bowed their bows and set arrows at him.

But they were stopped by Chang Yu with a wave of their hands, and they let go of their hands a little bit, but they were still aiming at him.

"If you have the ability to fight us openly and aboveboard!" Prince Yueshi yelled, holding back his anger.

The [-] coalition army, dead or wounded, don't mention how angry he is at the moment!

"Fight it head-on if you have the ability, don't engage in such despicable methods, thanks to you, you still claim to be the strongest in the grassland!"

The group of Xiongnu were enraged, but because Chang Yu didn't give orders, they could only stare at Prince Yueshi with heavy breaths.

It is obvious that he took advantage of the fire to rob, occupy other people's cities, and remove all kinds of gold and silver artifacts, but it is despicable in turn?

But you have to know, whoever provoked it first, they are just fighting back in self-defense!

Could it be possible that someone came to slap him, and he had to say hello before he could fight back?
