No matter what Zhao Lang was thinking, the battle continued.
The roars on the battlefield slowly decreased, while the wails increased even more.
In a real battlefield, bloodthirsty and heroic is less, cruel and brutal is real.
This time, although the Qin army took the initiative, it was the Chu army that was advancing throughout the battlefield.
The Qin army seemed to be losing ground.
“Brother Long! This doesn’t seem to be a good situation for us,”
Hu Hai’s enthusiasm had receded by this time, and looking at the brutal battlefield, he was already a little weak at heart.
This was not the battle of a few thousand men that he had experienced with Zhao Lang before.
Rather, it was a battle of over hundreds of thousands of people!
The power of an individual was simply too small.
Except, of course, for perverts like Xiang Yu.
Hu Hai gulped and said that
“Brother Long, how about… Let’s move back a bit?”
He was too embarrassed to say such words as retreating and fleeing, so he could only use the word move back instead.
Of course the answer Zhao Lang gave him was simple.
Bang!
“Ouch! Brother Long, why are you hitting people! ”
Hu Hai said with a sobbing face, rubbing his head
“I’m not actually worried about myself, I’m worried about you, Brother Lang, you’re the Crown Prince now, you can’t afford to have any slip-ups.”
Hearing this, Meng Yi, who was about to explain, heard Zhao Lang say.
“Who said to you that our army is at a disadvantage?”
Hu Hai rubbed his head, looking at Xiang Yu who was charging and killing almost all the way, and said back that
“Our front line is almost broken by the Chu army, and our sides are almost surrounded, how can we fight this battle?”
Zhao Lang said indifferently.
“Then you haven’t noticed that our army is killing and wounding the other side in large numbers?”
Although Zhao Lang was average in his great battlefield command, he still had vision.
Although the Qin army was retreating, it was retreating extremely firmly, and every step forward the Chu army took would cost them great casualties.
It was obvious that this was sapping the opponent’s sharpness.
Xiang Yu’s personal ability was too strong, and there was no one in the Qin army who could match the opponent’s hardened existence.
If the Qin army did not allow a single step, then the greatest possibility was that Xiang Yu would break the face with a point, and then the Qin army would be defeated on all fronts with no superiority in strength.
This is what is most frightening.
Hu Hai listened with seeming understanding, and skimmed his lips, saying that
“But you can’t keep retreating like that.”
Listening to the conversation behind him, Meng Yi gave a bitter laugh at this time; they, the great generals on the outside, actually didn’t like the presence of the emperor or the emperor’s son.
It was because on the battlefield, the safety of these people had to be taken into account.
Sometimes it was even more excessive and they even had to sacrifice more soldiers in order to conform to the other side’s wishes.
Just like now, even if the space-for-soldier difference was obvious to Crown Prince Zhao Lang, but he still made some indication of it, once Imperial Prince Hu Hai gave the word
Gesturing to the messenger at the side.
Soon after, the messenger took his orders and left, and in a short time, the Qin army was once again filled with shouts and shouts.
“Wind! Gale! Gale!”
Hearing the familiar shout, a rain of arrows rose again.
Then it went straight towards the waist of the Chu’s front!
Like a fierce wind and rain, the arrows slapped viciously at the Chu army’s front!
Inevitably, the Chu army was thrown into a flurry of confusion.
And at that moment, once again, there was a loud roar from the Qin army that
“Imperial!”
The entire Qin army stopped its retreat almost immediately!
“Advance!”
And then advanced towards the front!
The Chu troops charging at the front suddenly realized that there was a sudden void behind them.
Faced with a tidy Qin army and no assistance from the rear, they inevitably fell backwards.
Even Xiang Yu, who was at the forefront, was pulled back by his own guards.
Even if Xiang Yu could fight ten thousand with one, there were more than ten thousand here.
“Good! Hahahaha, worthy of being the elite of my Great Qin!”
Hu Hai was instantly happy again at the sight of this scene, but before he could rejoice for a moment, he was glared back with a look from Zhao Lang.
He sat there honestly and did not dare to make a sound.
Of course, in his heart, Zhao Lang also marvelled at the fact that the Qin elite did have the right to be proud of themselves.
The coordination between each other was almost impeccable.
The arrow formation just now created an opportunity that was just almost a breath away, but the Qin army seized it in time.
He frowned slightly, however, because he feared that the fight would not be easy next.
When Meng Yi saw Hu Hai’s good-natured look at this moment, he could not help but shake his head in his heart.
This was a battlefield, how could victory or defeat be measured by a momentary advance or retreat?
Fortunately, he is not the crown prince, otherwise, I am afraid that the Great Qin would not last past the second century.
It is fortunate that Crown Prince Zhao Lang can still see the situation clearly.
But the Qin army was about to be plunged into a bitter battle, and this rain of arrows was originally intended to break his back as he prepared to retreat.
Just at this moment, Meng Yi heard Zhao Lang’s voice.
“Admiral Meng, why don’t we stop here today.”
“The generals are already a little tired, and the casualties may increase after that.”
“What do you think?”
Zhao Lang didn’t put words into his mouth, and if he was wrong, Meng Yi could refuse.
Hearing these words, Meng Yi’s heart was relieved and he quickly said back that
“Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Sound the gold and retreat!”
Soon the battlefield resounded with a sound of sounding gold.
Hearing the sound, the Qin army stopped in unison and then slowly retreated backwards.
It was a good thing that they had just forced the Chu army back and could retreat in one piece.
The Chu army did not give chase either. Xiang Yu looked at the slowly retreating Qin army and once again raised his halberd high in his hand, and the Chu army began to cheer at once.
This time, they had won!
Xiang Yu led his troops back to the Chu army’s camp with great pride, he had already planned to do so.
Tomorrow he will take the initiative to attack!
Crushing the Qin army in one fell swoop!
“Men, tell my king’s young uncle to tell the generals to eat and drink well!”
“Tomorrow march!”
Xiang Yu commanded loudly.
The attendant led the order and went away.
He did not mention Fan Zeng, he would question the other side when he had defeated the Qin army!
Only soon after he sat down, a messenger hurried over and reported back that
“Your Majesty! General Long Tho, General Ying Bu and others have written that they too have been attacked by the Qin army!”
Xiang Yu gave a cold snort and
“The Qin army is trying to contain my King’s reinforcements, but they did not expect that they are no match for my King.”
“This time, it is the King who will contain their reinforcements!”
“Pass the order to them that no surrounding Qin army should be allowed to enter this place by half a step! Strangle them with all your might!”
“Yes! Your Majesty!”
Giving the order down, Xiang Yu strides over to the map, he has to arrange the attack afterwards!
At that moment, a squire walked in once again and
“Your Majesty, a sergeant has come to report that many Qin troops have appeared on the battlefield, rescuing wounded soldiers, what should we do?”
Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said that
“Hmph, let them rescue, Fan Zeng still says I am a woman’s mercy, this king sees that it is the Duke’s wave!”
The wounded soldiers still left on the battlefield at this time were in fact extremely difficult to save, most of them would die from their wounds.
This was because the lightly wounded had long since retreated with the troops.
They would only have demoralised the army and depleted supplies.
The Qin army was simply asking for death.
That’s why he wouldn’t stop it, just so he could save some energy.
Tomorrow, consume the Qin army some more.
And the day after, time to bring out his secret weapon!
