Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!
Chapter 288: Han Xin’s plan, Long Ju fell into the trap!
"We've fallen into a trap. Retreat quickly, retreat quickly..." As this cry sounded, the Chu army instantly became chaotic, and panic spread rapidly like a plague. The soldiers looked at each other in panic, running around in a panic. They had only one thought in their minds - to escape from this land of death as soon as possible.
However, things were far from simple. The vanguard camp seemed to have become a cage, trapping the Chu army tightly. No matter how they struggled, they could not escape.
At this moment, "Dong Dong Dong Dong..." a series of rapid and powerful drum beats resounded through the sky. The sound was like a death warrant, making people tremble with fear. Then, the ambushers that were originally hidden on both sides of the front peak camp emerged like a tide. These ambushers had been ready for a long time, just waiting for this moment to come.
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and the dense arrows poured down like raindrops, shooting straight at the unprepared Chu army.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish..." The sound of breaking air was endless, making people feel creepy.
"Puff, puff..." A series of dull sounds were heard, and countless Chu soldiers were shot and fell off their horses, with blood splattering everywhere, which was a horrible sight. Some Chu soldiers tried desperately to break through, but when they finally rushed to the gate of the vanguard camp, they despairingly found that it had already been surrounded by the Southern Border Army.
In just a short moment, the Chu army of more than 500 people suffered heavy casualties, and now only half of them are left. The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood and the shadow of death, which was suffocating.
At this critical moment, Tian Hu, riding a tall and mighty warhorse, came galloping from behind. He was heroic and majestic, waving a long sword in his hand, and shouting loudly: "The lord has ordered that if you lay down your weapons and surrender, you will be spared. If you continue to resist, you will be killed!" His voice was like a loud bell, deafening, and echoed over the entire battlefield.
"Kill without mercy, kill without mercy!" The Southern Border Army shouted in unison, the sound was like a wave, echoing with Tian Hu's roar, resounding throughout the battlefield. This majestic shout was like a thunder, hitting the hearts of the remaining Chu Army hard, causing their already shaky morale to collapse instantly.
You know, in the previous fierce battle that lasted for a whole day, the Chu army had already experienced the Southern Border Army. They knew the bravery and strength of this army, and they were already a little afraid of it. Now, the sneak attack on the camp ended in failure, which was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. So, the Chu soldiers began to put down their weapons and chose to surrender to the Southern Border Army led by Tian Hu.
At this moment, Tian Hu's eyes flashed, and he shouted decisively: "Light the hay immediately!" His order spread quickly to the ears of every soldier under his command like a gust of wind. After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately took action, quickly gathered all the hay piled up in the camp in one place, and quickly lit it. In an instant, a raging fire shot up into the sky, lighting up the night sky.
Looking far away, the place where the vanguard camp was located was instantly illuminated in red, conveying wrong information to Long Qie who was still unaware of the situation. However, at this moment, Long Qie, who had quietly detoured to the back of the Southern Border Army camp, had already witnessed this thrilling scene.
He looked at the fiery red, and couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement in his heart, and his whole body became hot. At this moment, Long Qie was full of confidence, and he believed that he had already won. He knew very well that as long as the sneak attack on the camp could be carried out smoothly, even if he failed to kill the enemy general as he wished, after this battle, he would definitely make the Southern Border Army fall into chaos.
Just as Long Ju was waiting anxiously, the spies who had been sent to various places to investigate the situation came rushing in to report military intelligence.
"Report... The Southern Border Army's Left Wing Battalion has already dispatched troops to the Vanguard Battalion!"
"Report... The right wing battalion of the Southern Border Army has set out for the Vanguard Battalion!"
Upon hearing the news, Long Qie's face instantly blossomed with ecstasy, and he raised his head and let out a deafening laugh: "Hahahaha... Foolish Chu army, today is the day you die, soldiers, listen to my orders, follow me and charge into battle!"
The soldiers behind him responded in unison: "Yes!" The sound waves filled the sky and resounded through the clouds. For a moment, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the world, and the army led by Long Qie turned into a surging torrent and rushed towards the southern border army camp.
As Long Qie's command was issued like a loud bell, many Chu soldiers responded instantly. They moved quickly and in unison, jumping onto their horses one after another, with determination and courage in their eyes.
This time, the Chu army did not hide anything and lit a large number of torches without hesitation. Under the leadership of Long Ju, this army burning with blazing flames was like a huge fire dragon shuttling through the night, rushing towards the central army tent of the Southern Border Army with the force of thunder.
Although moonlight helped during night raids, a large number of torches were still needed to provide sufficient lighting. Otherwise, once the line of sight was blocked, not only would a panic-inducing stampede easily occur, but even those well-trained war horses would become difficult to control, causing the entire battle to fall into chaos.
The reason why the Chu army chose to march in a long dragon-like formation was to maximize the safety of the cavalry in the rear. The horses and men in the front were like bright lights, guiding the direction of the follow-up troops.
In this way, if the front really encounters any dangerous situation, the troops in the rear will be able to detect it in time and make corresponding adjustments. Such an arrangement can effectively reduce unnecessary casualties and losses, and can also minimize the noise caused by a large-scale advance, thereby delaying the time it takes for the enemy to obtain information. However, this tactic is only used at night. If an attack is launched during the day, there is no need to be so cautious.
But after a while, Long Qie noticed Han Xin's central army camp. At this time, there were also many soldiers in the central army camp who were deploying their troops, but they were obviously a little flustered. Seeing this, Long Qie was not polite and continued to lead his troops to charge.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" As Long Qie's thunderous roar resounded through the sky, the Chu army was like a surging torrent. Its elite cavalry units rushed in with an overwhelming force and bravely broke into the central camp of the Southern Border Army.
The camp gate located in the wild had relatively weak defenses, with only some simple obstacles such as chevaux de frise set up. For the well-trained and well-equipped Chu cavalry, breaking through such a line of defense was a piece of cake. The cavalry at the front wielded sharp long swords and rushed towards the obstacles at the gate. After a series of chopping, pushing and pulling, those fragile defenses were instantly cleared away. Afterwards, a large number of subsequent cavalry rushed in without hindrance, pouring into the central army camp like a flood that broke through a dam.
Long Ju, who led the troops, was extremely brave. He rode his majestic warhorse, held a gleaming spear in his hand, and rushed to the central army tent with great momentum. His purpose of coming this time was very clear, that is, to personally kill the enemy Han Xin.
At this moment, Han Xin's familiar figure finally appeared in front of everyone in the central army tent. Unexpectedly, after seeing the aggressive Chu army, Han Xin turned around and fled without hesitation.
Seeing this, Long Qie was overjoyed and excited. He galloped on his horse, shouting, "Han Xin, don't run away! Today is the day you die!" The horse's hooves raised a cloud of dust, and Long Qie followed Han Xin's direction of escape, vowing to kill this opponent who had caused the Chu army so much trouble.
Long Qie saw Han Xin, who was being closely guarded by several personal soldiers and was desperately fleeing to the rear. His eyes instantly lit up with blazing fire, and his excitement was beyond words. At this moment, Long Qie and Han Xin were only fifty steps apart, and Han Xin had only seven or eight personal guards around him.
Long Qie thought to himself: With my bravery and skills, once I rush to Han Xin, he will definitely not be able to escape! With this thought, Long Qie's horse rushed forward again as fast as the wind. Seeing this, the Chu army soldiers following closely behind also bravely took the lead and ran towards Han Xin without showing any weakness.
On the other hand, although Han Xin was running as fast as he could, he was only running on foot after all. How could his speed be comparable to that of Long Ju on a warhorse? In just a few breaths, the distance of fifty steps had been drastically shortened to less than twenty steps.
At this moment, Long Qie was like a gust of wind, and had already reached the central army tent. He stared at Han Xin, who was so close in front of him, with his eyes wide open, and secretly calculated that he only needed a few more breaths to kill him. Thinking of this, Long Qie couldn't help but show ecstasy on his face, and victory seemed to be within his grasp.
However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened! The horse under Long Qie's crotch was suddenly pulled by an invisible force, and the horse's hooves that had been running wildly stopped. Then, the horse's body suddenly stopped, and the defenseless Long Qie fell forward. Before he could come to his senses, he felt his body suddenly sinking, and he and the horse fell straight into a bottomless pit.
This sudden change shocked Long Qie greatly. When he tried to struggle to get up, he found that he and his horse were already deeply trapped and could not move at all. At the same time, the Chu cavalrymen behind him had no time to react and fell into the huge traps like dominoes.
"Plop, plop, plop..." The dull sounds came one after another, never stopping.
Along with these sounds were the terrified screams of the Chu soldiers: "Ah... Help... Ah..." In an instant, the entire camp was filled with the miserable wails of the Chu soldiers, like purgatory on earth.
