Chapter 1239 Caught off guard, Ran Ming was defeated!
The next day, at midnight.
The cold wind is rustling.
The quiet Qin army camp was the same as usual. Soldiers were guarding the gate, and there were more cavalry patrolling outside the camp.
The Qin army now has a plan to deal with the attacks by the Chu army in recent days.
Many cavalrymen were deployed outside the camp to prevent the Chu army from suddenly increasing its forces and launching a fierce attack.
Under the cover of night, the battle flags of the Qin army fluttered, just like the hearts of the Qin soldiers hidden in the camp, ready to go.
The moon tonight was much brighter than usual, making the entire Qin army camp stand out under the bonfire.
The flickering bonfire reflected black figures, hiding in the darkness like man-eating beasts.
Just then, there were flickering fires outside the camp and the sound of war horses could be heard.
"coming!"
Inside the camp, Zhao Tuo, who was leading his troops and waiting for an opportunity, narrowed his eyes and a cold look flashed across his face.
After so many attacks, the Chu army finally had their turn to fight back.
This counterattack came very suddenly, and he believed that the Chu army would be defeated without any preparation.
"Pass the order down, wait for my order, otherwise no one can take action, let the Chu army get closer first!"
As Zhao Tuo's order was passed down, the Qin army immediately became alert and tightened their weapons.
The murderous atmosphere became even stronger at this moment.
Outside the camp, Ran Ming rode his horse and rushed over with his troops, laughing wildly: "Tonight is the same as the previous few days, destroy the Qin army's traps as much as possible!"
After he finished speaking, he swung the axe in his hand and rode forward.
The cavalry behind suddenly became full of momentum and rushed forward in one go.
"Fire arrows!"
Zhao Tuo's voice was heard from the camp, and suddenly, countless sharp arrows whizzed out and headed straight for the Chu army.
The Chu army had anticipated this, and the shieldmen took action to resist. Amid the clanging sounds, the Chu army advanced rapidly.
"Block the arrows and destroy the traps!"
Ran Ming laughed wildly and smashed the ground hard with the giant axe in his hand.
"Boom~"
A huge circular pit appeared within a radius of three meters. The surrounding war horses were frightened and hid away.
But Ran Ming was not satisfied with this. He rode his horse over and swept the ground with the huge axe in his hand.
With a loud bang, several traps were destroyed by him.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo in the camp sneered: "Since they are here, don't go back!"
"Order the first and second battalions to go up and drive them out as usual."
At the command, the Qin army camp was opened and the Qin army rushed out on horseback.
Under the cover of sharp arrows, the Qin army attacked the Chu army, and the two sides were about to fight.
Ran Ming snorted coldly: "The front troops will block them, the archers will shoot arrows to stop them, and the central troops will continue to destroy the traps!"
This was their previous response. As long as the front army could stop the Qin army, the central army could destroy the trap with peace of mind.
This is how they dealt with it in the first few days.
Tonight, they were no exception.
Sure enough, the Qin army was soon blocked by the front army and sharp arrows and could no longer advance.
The Chu army's central force took the opportunity to rush forward and began to destroy the trap.
In just a moment, many of the traps on the scene were destroyed.
Inside the camp.
The deputy general beside Zhao Tuo came to report anxiously: "General, hurry up, otherwise too many of our traps will be destroyed."
Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes, and a fierce look flashed across his face: "Pass the order, all troops will attack and annihilate the Chu army!"
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
The Qin army hidden in the camp suddenly became very powerful and rushed out waving their weapons.
They have been feeling really frustrated these past few days, being constantly harassed by the Chu army but not daring to leave the camp to fight.
As the number one dynasty in the world, when have they ever suffered such humiliation!
With thunderous shouts, the Qin army rushed out like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The Chu army, which was fighting fiercely, was stunned when they heard the shouts of killing. They did not expect that the Qin army would dare to attack.
Caught off guard, they were forced to retreat continuously.
Ran Ming was furious upon seeing this, and slammed the axe in his hand to the ground suddenly. A huge force shook the surrounding ground continuously.
"No retreat, everyone, charge forward!"
"Haven't you always wanted to have a fierce battle with the Qin army? Now that they're out, charge at them!"
After he finished speaking, he led the charge, riding at the head of the pack, wielding a great axe.
He swung the giant axe in his hand suddenly, and the seven or eight Qin soldiers who rushed up were knocked back by him.
The huge force carried the bodies of these people flying and smashed them towards the Qin army behind them.
Amid screams, more than a dozen Qin soldiers were crushed to death, leaving a large area of the scene empty.
Seeing this, the Chu army, which was originally retreating, suddenly became very motivated and rushed forward frantically.
The two sides' troops clashed, with constant clanging sounds, sparks flying, and shouts of killing that shook the earth.
Qin camp, on the observation tower.
Wang Jian put his hands behind his back, letting the night wind blow his battle robe behind him, his eyes fixed on the battle situation outside the camp.
General Li Ran at the side said solemnly: "The Chu army is really tenacious, they were about to be defeated just now, but they held on!
It looks like General Zhao is going to be in for a tough fight. If the fight continues like this, I’m afraid there won’t be a winner until dawn.”
Wang Jian was not surprised by this and nodded, "General Li and I have the same idea. However, General Zhao has anticipated the current situation and asked me to arrange archers to support him in advance."
He waved his right hand and said in a deep voice: "Order the archers, let them press forward and shoot the Chu army!"
At the command, another troop of soldiers appeared in the Qin army camp.
However, this group of soldiers were all archers. They arrived at the gate of the camp, drew their bows and arrows, and shot wildly at the Chu army camp in the distance.
The originally evenly matched battlefield became tilted due to the appearance of archers.
The Chu army was caught off guard and was shot and forced to retreat continuously.
The morale of the attacking Qin army soared and they charged forward frantically.
Although Ran Ming was still swinging his giant axe to resist, the number of Chu soldiers around him was getting smaller and smaller.
Seeing that many Qin soldiers were surrounding him, he shouted angrily: "All of you, come and die!"
His body suddenly spun, and the axe in his hand swept around. The sharp axe actually chopped all the people around him into two.
But this move seemed to consume too much energy, and Ran Ming began to breathe heavily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, several Qin army generals rode their horses and charged forward.
Attack with guns, spears, maces and sledgehammers!
Even though Ran Ming was an expert in martial arts, he still felt extremely exhausted at this moment.
After barely forcing these Qin generals to retreat, Ran Ming turned his horse around and rushed into his own camp.
At the same time, they shouted: "The enemy is serious, retreat!"
At the command, the Chu army immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They did not dare to continue resisting and retreated one after another.
Seeing this, Zhao Tuo sneered: "Want to leave now? It's too late, keep chasing!"
"Remember, if you have the chance, you must chase them all the way to Hecheng."
"Once the city gates are opened, rush into the city immediately!"
He not only wanted to repel the Chu army, but also wanted to take the opportunity to capture Hecheng!
He believed that as long as he led his troops into Hecheng, Wang Jian would definitely send a large army to attack!
