Li Yan gave the order to counterattack the moment the Chu army hit the walled city.

The command is given by the sound of drums, and the sound of the drums together is a sharp drum, which is a quick counterattack.

With a shout, Qin Jun swung his bronze sword and killed him like a tiger entering a flock.

At this time, the Chu army understood that the gap in the walled city they had smashed with the trebuchet was not for the Chu army's offensive, but for the Qin's counterattack.

The unsuspecting Chu army immediately retreated in chaos, and of course the trebuchets that followed were unable to function...

In fact, the trebuchets could still function at this time, and the stone bullets they fired could just hit the Qin army chasing the Chu army.

The problem is that the Chu army who controlled the trebuchet immediately felt guilty when seeing the friendly army in front of him retreating like waves...The trebuchet was most taboo against the enemy's short-handed approach. How could they not retreat after the Chu army retreated?

At the moment the trebuchet was thrown away and mostly unmanned.

How could Xiang Yan think that the Chu Army would be defeated so quickly, and hurriedly brought her personal guards forward to stabilize her position and fight with the Qin Army.

At first, Xiang Yan didn't know the reason for her defeat, but she didn't understand it until she saw a group of Qin Jun in armor under the firelight.

Xiang Yan sighed secretly:

"Sure enough, he fell into the trap of Shen Bing."

"This time, the king is afraid that there will be less fortunes."

But of course he didn't dare to say this, Xiang Yan only kept ordering to stabilize the formation and cover with crossbowmen...

These crossbowmen said they were covering but they were actually supervising the formation.

Anyone who rushes towards one's side will be shot and killed, whether it is an enemy or a friend.

This may seem cruel, but it is very necessary at this critical juncture.

For one, the Chu army, who could flee by doing this, had to turn around to fight... This approach had a miraculous effect on the troops with low morale and insufficient combat effectiveness, because the Chu army who fled for life wanted to keep a life, but if there is no way to survive in the rear, You can only fight to the death.

However, if the Qin army is disciplined and morale is like a rainbow, doing so will chill the soldiers and affect their morale.

So this supervising array should be a specific analysis of specific issues.

As for whether it is humane, that is not a question that should be considered in this era.

Second, it is dark at this time, and the enemy and us are mixed together and it is impossible to distinguish between the enemy and us. Even if the crossbowman wants to shoot the enemy, he can't do it. As long as he hesitates for a while, the Qin army will follow these broken troops and charge This led to the collapse of the Chu army's main force across the board.

Xiang Yan brought an army of 80,000 to fight. Wouldn't it be a joke if he collapsed when he was hit by an army of 20,000 Qin?

Therefore, Xiang Yan did not hesitate at all. While directing the crossbowmen to shoot the retreating Chu army, he ordered his guards to build a spear formation, and all those who fled back to the line of defense would be killed regardless of the enemy.

After a while, the Chu army was defeated before turning back to fight the Qin army.

It's just that the morale of the Chu army has vented, and all they can do is to delay the Qin army's offensive with blood and life.

Xiang Yan took advantage of this time to organize another wave of offensive in the rear...

Although this tactic does not have the fancy tactics such as using cavalry to outflank it, it is very practical: the Chu army has a lot of soldiers, and the waves of people can exhaust the Qin army.

If it was Qin and Chu fighting, Xiang Yan's tactics would not be a problem, and it is very likely that Shen Bing would lose in the end.

However, the goal of the Chu army in this battle was to rescue the King of Chu...

Chu Wang's breakthrough here went smoothly.

With Xiang Yan's offensive, the three gates of Shouchun's east, west, and north gates opened immediately.

Then a team of Chu soldiers carried the "grass wrapped mud" out of the city gate and filled the river with it...At this time, the water of the Huaihe River had dropped sharply, and it was not difficult to fill the river.

In particular, Chu Wang Sumi made some preparations for this battle.

The Huai River turns at the west gate to the north and then around to the east gate.

For the shipping of Shouchun, there is actually a water gate next to the west gate and the east gate. Connecting the two water gates is an artificial canal that traverses Shouchun and connects several ports in the city.

The estuary of this canal which was widened and deepened by the king of Chu in the past few days.

This caused the Huai River to be intercepted by the artificial canal when it reached the west gate, so the water flowing to the north gate and east gate was as thin as a mountain spring.

Chu Jun's bags of "grass wrapped in mud" filled the river course, and it soon became a river course.

The laying of "grass wrapped in mud" was also drilled.

The gate space is limited. If soldiers leave the city with "grass wrapped in mud" on their backs, they will return to the city after the "grass wrapped in mud" is laid.... This requires dividing the gate in two.

In order to pave the road more quickly, King Chu Wang ordered "all soldiers leaving the city shall not return to the city."

So the speed of "grass wrapped in mud" out of the city immediately doubled.

The soldiers who went out of the city immediately turned into infantry soldiers to attack the Qin Army Walled City immediately after laying.

The time when King Chu Wang left the city was also carefully considered.

King Chu Chu originally hoped that the Chu Army would leave the city after tearing open the Qin Army's defense line... The King had a common problem with selfishness, and they all hoped that others would leave the road safe and sound.

But Zhang Qi believes that this method is not feasible:

"Great King, the Qin Army is strong in combat."

"Our army wins by fighting fast and slow to prepare for the unprepared."

"So at the beginning, the Qin army was the best time to break through when it was unprepared."

"If the king waits to open the gap in the Qin army before setting off, I'm afraid..."

After thinking about it, the King of Chu made sense.

Especially this tearing up a gap is almost telling Qin Jun that King Chu is going to escape from here. Qin Jun is afraid that he will send someone to plug it right away, and he will not be able to escape even if he wants to.

In desperation, the king of Chu could only respond:

"Fine, I'll be the first to break through!"

So, as soon as the road was paved, the capital guard army guarded the king of Chu out of the city.

But of course, King Chu Wang would not be in a costume. He disguised as an ordinary soldier dressed in armor and followed the troops out of the city.

There was nothing wrong with this originally.

The fault is that King Chu's Chu is not alone...

This is to move the capital, so should the Minister of Chu bring dozens of them?

Would King Chu’s wives bring dozens of them?

Should these wives and concubines bring dozens of them?

There are also gold and silver jewelry and luggage...

Although these ministers, wives and concubines are all dressed in soldier costumes, they can be seen at a glance in the team.

At least they failed to escape Shen Bing's eyes.

Just kidding, if this can be deceived, then the five doctors of Shen Bing will be considered a fool.

Shen Bing gave Wei Wei the command of the battle, and he led people to stare at the East Gate.

At the beginning, the Liangjun pretended to be unprepared and fought and went, and even intended to make a hole in the east gate.

Chu Jun only said that Qin Jun was beaten by Xiang Yan so that he could not be cloned, so there is no doubt about it.

Then, a strange army snatched from the city.

This army has a chaotic formation and a short stature. The soldiers in the middle have almost no weapons, and some of them are carrying large boxes...
