Daqin Engineers

Chapter 231

Qu Zhuo immediately sent a message to alert the soldiers on duty.

He didn't immediately prepare for war as in the letter.

This approach is correct, because military operations require physical strength, especially quasi-weapon operations.

On the other hand, the Qin army was still hundreds of miles away, saying that it would take a few days to arrive. At this time, he called the soldier out of his sleep. It was unnecessary and it would affect the combat effectiveness of the soldier.

So Qu Zhuo just re-planned the defense at the gate, dividing the soldiers into several batches and then rotating them in batches.

At this time, another department reported:

"For the army, the Jing clan sent three thousand cavalry troops to help. At this time, he is waiting outside the city."

Jing's fief is in the west, so there is no problem in coming from the west.

Coupled with the previous letter, Qu Zhuo assumed that this cavalry was reinforcements sent by Xiang Yan, so he ordered:

"Kaesong welcomes."

Saying Qu Zhuo, he called down and put on his armor.

When Qu Zhuo rushed to the city gate with a group of guards, the Jing's cavalry had entered the city in a neat formation.

The soldiers of the Chu army held torches on both sides of the station and uttered cheers.

Qu Zhuo felt wrong from a distance.

The cavalry lineup of this team is strict without anger and self-risk. The horses are also quiet amidst the cheers of the Chu army, and the whole cavalry team also faintly reveals a chilling murderous...

Does the Jing's Cavalry have this quality?Why never heard of it before?

Thinking about it, Qu Zhuo quickened his pace and rushed forward, with an ominous premonition faintly in his heart, and regretted that he shouldn't have let the cavalry in so rashly.

However, this is the case on the battlefield. Even if a mistake is made, even a small inadvertent mistake, it is possible to lose all games and be hopeless.

Qu Zhuo rushed to take a closer look and confirmed his suspicion.

Under the firelight, he saw that many of the horses were wounded, and the armor worn by the soldiers was also scratched, and some even had small holes and blood stains from arrows...

The Jing's Cavalry had never participated in a battle, so where did these scars and bloodstain come from?

So Qu Zhuo stopped hesitating and shouted now:

"They are from Qin, stop them and close the city gate!"

The Chu soldiers lined up on both sides couldn't help but stopped and looked at the cavalry in the middle.

Qu Zhuo's guess is correct, this cavalry is Shen Bing's black armour.

The most advanced city is Wang Ben and his guards.

This is Wang Ben's initiative to invite Ying, and what he said is quite reasonable:

"Lieutenant General, the Black Army is good at riding and shooting but not good at close combat."

"If a black armour enters the city to fight the enemy in close combat, it will attack the enemy's strength with his shortcomings."

"The subordinates and over a hundred guards are all good at close combat."

"I have not done anything since I joined the Black Armed Forces. Please be the vanguard in this battle."

Shen Bing thought this was right.

The reason why the Black Armored Army has been able to make outstanding achievements is not because they are experienced or well-trained, but because they have advantages that others do not have...vine armor and riding and shooting.

But now, in order to pretend to be the Chu army, they do not wear the vine armor, and in order to invade the city, they must also fight melee with the Chu soldiers. Isn't this just attacking the strength of the other with their shortcomings?

Although the Black Armored Army can be said to have a good chance of winning this battle...Three thousand Black Armored Army against two thousand Chu Army, and they were caught off guard by surprise, as long as they could enter the city, there was almost no suspense.

The problem is that if the Chu Army resists stubbornly, the Black Armored Army, which is not good at close combat, may suffer heavy casualties.

The Black Armed Forces are all soldiers who can choose to ride and shoot, but they can't just be consumed like this.

On the other hand, Wang Ben and his guards, they are the Qin army worthy of the name.

Not to mention Wang Ben's martial arts, his guards are all the elites that Wang Jian has placed.

Although they can ride horses, as Wang Ben said, they are actually infantry on horses. They must dismount to fight when entering the battlefield, so of course they are better than close combat.

So Shen Bing didn't think about it, and he was right now.

Only Shen Bing also confessed:

"Two or five hundred masters must proceed with caution when going."

"If the enemy is too few, it's okay to retreat. Don't try to put yourself in danger."

Wang Ben's heart was moved.

If this is to change a main general, I am afraid that "half a step is not allowed to retreat" and so on. How can he "don't try to be strong" like Shen Bing.

How did Wang Ben know that Shen Bing hoped that his general would be able to shine in the future to help him, otherwise people like Han Xin and Xiang Yu would come out. Who will deal with it then?

Then Wang Ben walked at the forefront of the team with more than a hundred guards.

As soon as Qu Zhuo walked out, he caught Wang Ben’s attention. With his armoured armour and the guards around him, he told Wang Ben that he was the chief general of the Chu army, and he was definitely here to welcome their "reinforcement army." .

Looking at the expression in Qu Zhuo's eyes again, Wang Ben secretly said a bad cry. Perhaps this guy had noticed something strange.

But Wang Ben remained silent, because Wang Ben knew that Qu Zhuo had to get close if he wanted to see more clearly, and that was exactly what he wanted.

As expected by Wang Ben, Qu Zhuo quickly stepped forward to take a look.

Wang Ben winked at the guard behind him, then raised his head slightly in the direction of Qu Zhuo.

All of the guards were veterans who crawled out of the bloody sea of ​​Shishan Mountain. I didn't know the meaning of Wang Ben's expression. At the moment, they secretly passed Wang Ben's orders one by one.

At this moment, Qu Zhuo shouted:

"They are from Qin, stop them and close the city gate!"

Qu Zhuo's order is correct.

Because at this time Qin Jun only had three to five hundred people entering the city.

As long as these Qin troops can be blocked and the city gate closed, the Chu Army still has a chance to turn defeat into victory.

However, Qu Zhuo did not expect his opponent to be Wang Ben.

I didn't expect that he himself was as important as the city gate.

Not to mention that he had become Wang Ben's target.

As soon as his voice fell, Wang Ben had already shouted, "Kill!"

Then he pulled the horse's head and rushed towards Qu Zhuo.

At the same time, all the guards jumped off the horse and slapped the horse's ass fiercely...The horse was frightened and strayed and ran around, only to rush to Chu Jun to evade in exclamation.

This is not to say that the quality of these Chu troops is not good. In fact, these Chu troops are well-trained private soldiers of the Qu family.

It's just that this sudden situation made them not mentally prepared, so they missed the opportunity.

At this time, Wang Ben’s man and horse rushed to Qu Zhuo, and then jumped and flew Qu Zhuo, who was about to draw his sword out of its sheath, to the ground. Then before Qu Zhuo could react, Wang Ben had already drawn an arrow. Plunged into his eyes fiercely...

Qu Zhuo screamed and fell to the ground without knowing his life or death. The guards around him did not even come to stop him in a hurry.

At this time, Wang Ben's guards had shouted to kill him with a bronze sword...
