Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 120 Underestimate the enemy
Within a month, the training of the five thousand soldiers in the Lantian camp was completed. Each of them was wearing animal skins, holding a bronze dagger in his left hand and a magnet shield in his right. They had ferocious expressions on their faces, eager to fight against Chu.

At the same time, Xiang Yan of Chu State was appointed as the Shangzhu State to confront the Qin army.

But Qin Wangzheng's royal edict was issued, and the Qin army marched southward, roaring through the sky, and the black army flooded the counties along the way like a torrent.

In the Huaibei area, the Qin army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, as if there was no one in it.

According to Li Xin's tactics, Meng Tian pretended to attack the sleeping city, while Li Xin's army charged directly into the hinterland of Chu.

Li Xin's 12 cavalry were well-equipped and powerful. The people in the Huaibei area were panicked and fled to Huainan one after another. Many city defenders even abandoned the city and retreated south.

Chencheng, an important town in Huaibei, turned into an empty city without soldiers and people before the Qin army arrived!

At the same time, Meng Tian led an army to attack the sleeping city, broke through all of them, and then advanced into Xiangcheng to fight against the Xiang clan guarding the city.

But Xiang's family held on to the barrier, and Xiangcheng was not broken.

After burning the food and grass of the Chu army in Juyang, Li Xin heard the news that Meng Tian was besieging Xiangcheng. Holding a long halberd, he raised his arms and shouted: "Xiang Yan's army has arrived at Xiangcheng, confronting Meng Tian's army!"

Li Xin smiled contemptuously, it seemed that Xiang Yan had fallen for it.

At the same time, Li Xin's self-confidence and arrogance reached the extreme, and he continued to march northeast to reach Chengfu.

At this time, many people persuaded him to wait for Meng Tian's main force in the city father, and the two armies would reconcile, and then advance southeast, approaching Shouchun, the capital of Chu State!
And he, Li Xin, shook his head boldly: "As long as we cross the Huai River, Shouchun will be safe to defend. The Qin army will surely be able to follow the example of Marquis Baiqi of Wu'an, replicate a miracle, and destroy Chu!"

Immediately, Li Xin looked fiercely at the lieutenant general who persuaded him, and ordered: "Anyone who dissuades me will be executed!"

The general who wanted to persuade Li Xin fell silent for a moment, and swallowed back the words that were on the corner of his mouth.

Recalling the joy of being awarded the military talisman by the King of Qin, Li Xin, who was in his prime, had a stronger desire for this victory. He seemed to order the army to march straight in without thinking much, and rushed thousands of miles to attack Shouchun City.

At the same time, the Qin army fought successively victoriously, and the battle reports were sent to Zhangtai Palace from time to time. The Qin army's powerful offensive seemed to tell the world that the battle of Qin's destruction of Chu would soon end with the defeat of the Qin army!
North of Shouchun, Juyang City on the north bank of Huaihe River.

On a hill, the flag of Shangzhu State with the word "Xiang" written on it hangs high on the top of the mountain.

It turned out that Xiang Yan only deployed a few miscellaneous troops on the border of Qin and Chu, and Xiang Yan ordered them to fight and retreat, luring Li Xin to march.

And Xiang Yan's main force of the Chu State was all placed near Lutai Mountain in the north of Juyang, and seven troops were ambushed here!
Xiang Yan stroked his beard and said proudly, "The Qin army is defeated!"

One early morning, when the Qin army led by Li Xin was making corrections, suddenly an army rushed out from behind the Qin army.

Li Xin quickly led the Qin army to fight against the Chu army that was attacking from behind. Under Li Xin's fierce offensive, the Chu army that broke out halfway was killed and retreated.

Just when Li Xin was proud and complacent, Xiang Yan's main force rushed out with the seven soldiers and horses in Lutai Mountain!
The most elite [-] vanguard cavalry unit of the Xiang clan, wearing iron armor and holding a long halberd, rushed to the Qin army in one fell swoop.

Xiang Rong, Xiang Yan's eldest son, blushed, let out a roar, the sound was loud, and the iron spear in his hand was as fast as a dragon, grinding a long crack in it.

Just when Li Xin's army was overwhelmed by the mighty vanguard cavalry, five thousand men who were trapped in the battle stepped forward.

The leading general will be the future King of Linjiang "Gong Ao"!
Li Xin was not frightened by the seven armies of the Chu army, but calmly ordered: "This general leads [-] cavalry, put on light clothes, and charge up Lutai Mountain to fight the Chu army!"

"General Pi, Gong Ao, led five thousand soldiers in an ambush at the foot of the mountain. Once Xiang Rong rushed to the foot of the mountain, the five thousand soldiers would raise their magnetic shields high!"

"When Xiang Rong's army broke up, our army led [-] cavalry to defeat it!"

After the confession was completed, Li Xin led [-] light cavalry and rushed towards the [-] heavily armored Chu troops who were charging.

Xiang Rong, who was already full of anger, saw that Qin Jun took the initiative to challenge, which was tantamount to provocation.

Xiang Rong's face was ferocious, and his voice was like falling into an ice cellar. He said sharply, "You're looking for death, wait for me to take your dog's head!"

Xiang Rong couldn't suppress the anger in his heart for a while, so he ignored the dissuasion of others and led more than 2 elite cavalry into battle.

Li Xin pretended to be invincible and ordered the army behind him to retreat.

Seeing this situation, the army led by Xiang Rong was instantly motivated, and led his own cavalry troops to chase after him, and quickly came to the foot of Lutai Mountain.

Finally, when the [-] cavalry led by Xiang Rong entered the valley, they suddenly had a strange feeling, as if a powerful force had been pulling them.

The swords in many people's hands "flyed" inexplicably, and they themselves were pulled off their horses by strange forces, and were firmly sucked to the ground, unable to move.

Seeing this scene, the Chu army cavalry could not help but turn pale with shock, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and quickly wet their armor.

The originally orderly Chu army was disturbed. They didn't know what kind of "magic" they were being influenced by. The [-] Chu soldiers were dumbfounded, and many of them shouted angrily: "Sorcery! Sorcery!"

Xiang Rong was stunned to see the spear in his hand being "sucked" away, and suddenly burst into anger, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, his beard and hair were all stretched out, as if he was about to eat people.

Just when they didn't know what happened, Li Xin's troops rushed out and launched a fierce offensive against the rebels.In an instant, the miserable wailing of the rebels came from the valley.

Li Xin led [-] light cavalry and rushed towards Xiang Rong's [-] cavalry. Xiang Rong snapped, "The whole army retreats! The whole army retreats!"

Li Xin's cavalry rushed out quickly, beating the Chu army and fleeing in embarrassment.

The Sixth Army of Chu in the back frowned, and then took a deep breath. Their faces were also pale and sallow, and they stopped in their tracks one after another, staring at the scene in front of them dumbfounded.

Xiang Yan also watched this scene in disbelief on the hills. After a moment of contemplation, she woke up and said, "Not good! The Qin army's magnetite array!"

Immediately, a military order was issued, and the six-way army in the valley nodded slightly, quickly took off their heavy armor, put on light armor, and rushed towards the Qin army like a black cloud with short swords.

Taking advantage of the Chu army's hesitation, Li Xin quickly retreated, but the six-way army still quickly saw through the magnet formation and rushed towards the Qin army.

Seeing the six-way army rushing forward, Li Xin remained silent on the surface, but his heart was startled, and he ordered: "The whole army will fight!"

The Qin army fought against the oncoming six-way army, and the battlefield instantly turned into a meat grinder, with blood splattered everywhere, and the blood flow continued. With the sound of wailing and screaming, each head fell to the ground.

Li Xin also clearly realized that the strength of this main force was much higher than that of the motley troops in the frontier. With the beat of the drums, the queue rushed towards the Qin army in an orderly manner.

Although Li Xin killed three generals of the Chu army, his strength was almost exhausted. The 12 Qin army was not enough to fight against the eighteenth Chu army.

Seeing all the fallen soldiers of the Qin army, Gong Ao held up his shield and came to Li Xin panting.
