My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 218 Use offense to replace defense, use defense to attack, Pang Nuan is orthodox in Da Qin

Chu army command platform.

Seeing that the Qin army only used a small number of elite archers to kill the Chu army who had ascended first, Qu Huan frowned deeply: "The Qin army has few arrows?"

Using elite archers to shoot the Chu army first can greatly reduce the consumption of arrows and allow more crossbowmen to take turns.

But that's the only benefit.

There is no need to consider accuracy issues when diffusing, and you can shoot at the maximum range of the crossbow.

However, burst shooting has high requirements for accuracy and can only achieve the effective range of the crossbow.

Even if they stand on top of the city and shoot from a commanding position, the range of most elite archers is only [-] to [-] feet.

Therefore, elite archers are mostly used for last-ditch damage after diffusion, and will not be used as the main output.

Using elite archers as the main force is usually just a helpless move when the defenders are short of arrows.

But were the Qin army's arrows so few that they would be stretched thin at the beginning of the war?
Xiang Yan said thoughtfully: "This general reminds me of an old friend."

While he was pondering, Jing Ku's troops had already protected the Chu army's crossbowmen as they stepped 150 feet outside Anling City.

At this moment, the north gate of Anling City suddenly opened.

Three thousand Qin army crossbowmen suddenly stood up and fired arrows at the Chu army's formation without hesitation.

Just one round of fire, and more than [-] Chu army crossbowmen spilled blood on the battlefield!
Jing Qu's men were so frightened that they subconsciously raised their shields to block their heads, fearing that they would be the next unlucky ones to be shot.

Qu Huan's eyes narrowed: "The Qin army is trying to lure our army into the best range of Qin Nu?!"

The range of Qin's crossbow is nearly a hundred feet farther than that of Chu's crossbow.

When the Chu army's crossbowmen could barely reach the wall of Anling City, the Chu army's crossbowmen were already deep within the range of the Qin army's crossbowmen, and it was difficult to retreat even if they retreated!
Xiang Yan immediately issued an order: "Send an order to Jinghou's troops to loosen up the outside and tighten up inside, and let the Qin army go deep."

"Send the order to Captain Zhaohuang to lead the army forward and press forward!"

There are arrows on the top of the head, and elites in front of the body.

Jing Ku's front army was unable to withstand the double pressure brought by the Qin army.

Before Xiang Yan's order could be issued through the messengers, Jing Ku's front army had already collapsed.

Zhaohuang's troops had just set out, and Su Jiao's troops had already broken into the military formation of Jinghou's troops.

Casualties increased sharply!

Xiang Yan suddenly smiled: "No wonder this general looks familiar."

"Chang'an Jun's fighting method actually has a bit of General Pang's shadow."

Both Xiang Yan and Qu Huan participated in the Fifth War of the Five Kingdoms against Qin. They had served as Pang Nuan's generals and were quite familiar with Pang Nuan's tactical concepts.

Now that Xiang Yan had pointed it out, Qu Huan suddenly realized: "We will not hesitate to allow the enemy's troops to scale the city, and actively invite the enemy to engage in close combat."

"The city serves as a shield for the defenders, and it also provides an advantageous location for attack. We use attack to replace defense, and defense to attack. We do not hesitate to take risks, and rely on the city to rotate offensively and defensively."

"This is indeed General Pang's style!"

"But how could Lord Chang'an of Qin's tactics have the shadow of General Pang!"

If Ying Chengyu had another origin, looking at his tactics in this battle would make people suspect that he is Pang Nuan's disciple.

But Ying Chengyu is a descendant of the Qin royal family!

Pang Nuan has been a Zhao general since Ying Chengxuan could remember, and he was actively advocating for a joint attack on Qin.

How could he teach a disciple who came from the Qin royal family?
Xiang Yan looked at Ying Chengyu who was standing at the top of Anling City in the distance, his eyes were quite cautious: "General Pang cannot be the master of Chang'an Lord."

"Chang'an Lord may have stolen what he learned during the battle with General Pang!"

Qu Huan was shocked: "How much of General Pang's tactics can you learn from just a few months of fighting?"

"How ridiculous!"

The battle between the two armies is not about two people fighting against each other.

The overall picture of the enemy's army is not visible, and the thoughts of the enemy general are not available.

How do you learn the enemy general's tactics without having a full view of them and no explanation?
Isn't this a joke!

Xiang Yan said solemnly: "But this is the only reasonable explanation."

"Hu Zhe and other general Pang's disciples are now serving Zhao. It is impossible for them to teach Chang'an Lord what Pang Nuan taught."

Qu Huan was speechless.

Indeed, although it is outrageous for Ying Cheng to steal an army before the battle.

But it is even more outrageous for a general of the State of Zhao to be a teacher of a young master of the State of Qin!

Xiang Yan looked at Ying Chengyu who was standing on the gate tower of Anling City in the distance, and said in a solemn voice: "For the long-term plan of our great Chu, we must kill the Lord of Chang'an at all costs in this battle!"

Qu Huan was a little surprised: "Even if our army loses troops or is defeated in this battle, Shangzhu will not hesitate to kill Lord Chang'an?"

Xiang Yan asked back: "With such a great general, does Qu Sima dare to let him grow up?"

"Today the Lord of Chang'an has defeated Han and Wei in succession."

"But he just did it this year!"

"He is still learning and growing!"

"Qu Sima dares to imagine how terrifying this son will be when he is 80 years old?!"

At the end of the Warring States Period, the average age of generals in various countries was quite high.

Generals who are 50 or 80 years old can be praised as young and promising, and there are many generals who are [-] or [-] years old. Only generals who are still fighting in their [-]s such as Pang Nuan and Yang Duanhe can be called old generals.

And Ying Cheng is a talented person!

It is said that he also knows medical skills!
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem for Ying Chengyu to fight for the Qin Dynasty for another 50 years.

And after 50 years of experience accumulation, learning and growth, how terrifying should Ying Chengxuan be?
Xiang Yan didn’t even dare to think about it!

Qu Huan's voice was a little bitter: "I don't dare to think about it."

Qu Huan didn't dare to imagine it, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Because there was no need to imagine at all, the figure and appearance of the 70-year-old Bai Qi automatically appeared in Qu Huan's mind.With Ying Chengyu's growth rate and stable development for 50 years, it is entirely possible for him to grow into the next Wu Anjun!

Xiang Yan's voice turned solemn: "Today the Lord of Chang'an has defeated Han and Wei in succession."

"Don't look at his age, he is already a great general in the world!"

"Even if the force that I lead is several times that of Lord Chang'an, what qualifications do I have to say that I will win?"

"Since I dare not say that I will win, why should I regard failure as a price?"

"In my opinion, as long as we can kill Lord Chang'an, our army will win a great victory no matter what the cost!"

Facing Ying Chengyu, Xiang Yan was not panic-stricken, but his vigilance was already full.

Xiang Yan didn't regard Ying Chengyu as a young general at all, but as a famous general who needed him to fight with all his strength!
After Qu Huan was silent for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Shangzhu Kingdom is worried that the king will not be willing?"

There was absolutely no need for Xiang Yan to tell Qu Huan about her inner vigilance towards Ying Chengyu.

Since Xiang Yan said it, he must have something up his sleeve.

Xiang Yan nodded: "I have no way of knowing whether the king understands how much of a threat Chang'an Lord poses to our great Chu."

"In 50 years, this general will probably die of old age. How many of our current generals will be able to fight?"

"Leaving such a big problem to a general who doesn't know how much he can do in the future makes the general worried."

"Therefore, I hope that Qu Sima can perform together with me!"

Thinking of the abilities of the next generation of Chu generals, Xiang Yan said with emotion: "There was Lord Wu'an before, and now there is Lord Chang'an. How come Qin has so many great generals!"

What is the reason?

Qu Huan knew it very well.

If Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Ao and other generals served as officials in Chu State, they would never be able to become generals in their lives!
Because they are neither from a royal family nor from an old noble family.

Even if they are capable, what's the use?

They can only work as cattle and horses for the nobles.

The solid upper-class dignitaries of Chu State would not allow such an awesome person to exist!
Characters like Ying Chengyu may appear for a few moments in the Chu Kingdom, and then die due to various accidents after returning to the court in triumph.

The stubborn old nobles of Chu State cannot allow such an awesome person to appear in the royal family of Chu State!

After sifting through one standard and one internal fight after another, how could it be possible for the Chu State to produce too many generals?

Sighing in his heart, Qu Huan solemnly said: "Please submit the seal script memorial to Zhu Guo, and I will also attach a seal letter!"

Xiang Yan bowed her hands sincerely: "Thank you!"

After reaching an agreement with his deputy and determining the main goal of this battle, a big stone fell in Xiang Yan's heart.

Seeing that Su Jiao's troops had broken into the center of Jinghou's troops, Xiang Yan ordered in a deep voice: "Send orders to Jinghou's troops to encircle the two wings and cooperate with Zhaoyuan's troops to encircle and kill this Qin army!"

Seeing the flag waving, Jing Ku secretly cursed: "You want our army to surround this Qin army?"

"This unit is definitely the elite of the Qin army!"

Scolding is enough, but the general's order has been issued, what can Jinghou do?

Jing Ku immediately stopped shouting: "Soldiers come forward and defend the front!"

When receiving the order, Jing Ku rode his horse and personally led his troops to meet Su Jiao's troops.

"Captain of the Chu Army?"

Wiping the blood off the gun barrel with his lower garments, Su Jiao's eyes lit up as he looked at Jing He who was getting closer and closer.

The two or five hundred masters are still only mid-level and high-level generals, but the captains are the high-level generals who can independently carry out tactical tasks.

Therefore, it is a big threshold to go from being a [-]-[-] lord to a captain, and many generals will not be able to cross this threshold throughout their lives.

After the Battle of Xiuyu City and the Battle of Daliang City, Su Jiao has accumulated a lot of military achievements, but he still cannot complete the leap in status.

"But if I kill another captain, I will be awarded the title of captain, right?"

Licking his dry lips, Su Jiao tightened his grip on his spear and shouted angrily: "The general of this army is right in front, fellow robes, follow me and charge!"

During the roar, Su Jiao rushed forward, and Jing Ku also led his troops forward.

Fifty feet!
Thirty feet!
Twenty feet!
The distance between Su Jiao and Jing Ku was getting closer and closer, and Su Jiao could already see from a distance that the position of Captain was waving to him!
However, just when Su Jiao was about ten feet in front of Jing Ku, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Foreign troops, give way!"

Following Jing Ku's order, the Chu troops blocking Jing Ku and Su Jiao suddenly dispersed to both sides.

Su Jiao was able to face Jing He directly, but there was no excitement in Su Jiao's heart.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Su Jiao quickly pulled back and shouted: "Shield!"

As soon as the shouts ended, Su Jiao saw Jing Ku take out a short hand crossbow from his waist.

On both sides of Jing Ke, five hundred domestic soldiers took off the hand crossbows from their waists like Jing Ke.

Holding the crossbow in his left hand and holding the long wooden pole behind the crossbow in his right hand, Jing Hou shouted: "Fire!"

Su Jiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he roared angrily: "The whole army is short! Shield!!!"

While shouting, Su Jiao rolled like a donkey regardless of his image, and rolled back to the Qin army's formation.

Before the shield hand was in position, Jing Ku had already raised his crossbow and pointed it in the direction of the Qin army, and suddenly pulled the long wooden pole with his right hand.

The crossbow teeth at the top of the wooden pole catch the bow string and pull it together.

When the baffle built into the long pole hits the copper pillar at the end, the baffle is raised, the crossbow teeth fall down, and the bowstring hooked on the wooden pole is instantly released!
The two arrows contained in the crossbow were pushed by the bowstring and shot towards the Qin army!

Although only [-] of Jing Ku's soldiers were equipped with hand crossbows, one hundred and two crossbow bolts were fired in just one salvo!

This is not finished.

The moment the arrow was shot, Jing Ku's right hand suddenly pushed the wooden pole back to its original position.

The baffle returned to its position, the crossbow teeth hooked onto the bowstring again, and the crossbow arrows in the arrow box fell into the crossbow machine under the action of gravity.

Looking at Su Jiao with cold eyes, Jing Ku pulled the wooden pole open again!

　The military structure and court system of the Chu State are very different from those of the other six kingdoms. Cheese believes that it is too difficult to remember several sets of official names interchangeably, and Qin and Chu have many official positions with different names, which can easily lead to confusion, so this book is for Official positions with roughly the same powers and responsibilities are described by the official names of the Qin State, while official positions such as Ling Yin and others whose scope of rights are different from those of the officials of the Qin State are described by the original official title names. Of course, this is Cheese's personal opinion. If you prefer to see the original official system of various countries, you can leave a message and tell Cheese, and Cheese will make adjustments!
