Chapter 589 Advantages

The night fire dances in the smoke of war and beacon fire.

In the Qin army's camp, Yingbu held his hands and rushed forward.

After the Qin army in the front camp was defeated, the Xiang clan's army also rushed in, hoping to break through the middle base in one fell swoop.

The location of Qin general Li Xin.

Qin's 200,000-strong army attacked Chu, and a series of tents were laid out on the Central Plains to support them.

The three camps of the Qin army's central army were fifteen miles apart on the left and right, and were guarded on key passes.

Generally speaking, if it is an attack, the forward army should be quite elite. But the Qin army was on the defensive at this time, and its elite troops stayed in the middle camp as a reserve force.

Yingbu was a little surprised. He heard that Li Xin was extremely brave and had a fierce fighting style. But along the way, he saw that the camps were blocked and the troops were strangely arranged.

This doesn't look like Li Xin's style.

The Qin army is now short of supplies and has low morale. These soldiers are weaker and more difficult than imagined.

Yingbu felt a little strange.

Who commanded these Qin troops?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Yingbu was quickly attracted to the increasingly fierce battlefield and devoted himself entirely to it.

…

On the bank of the water, I heard faint shouts of killing coming from the camp in the distance. Chu Nan Gong touched his beard and hesitated.

"The Qin army's movements are a bit strange, aren't they?"

"Yingbu's advance is slower than expected."

Wei Liao stood next to Chu Nan Gong, and beside him was a child.

"That's right."

It stands to reason that Yingbu is a general of an army. The Thunder Leopard Legion he led was a rare elite among the Chu army. The morale of the Qin army was low, and even Li Xin's flying army should have been without salt for a day or two.

Under Yingbo's offense, it is somewhat unexpected that it can sustain for so long.

"I find it very interesting."

Wei Liao smiled, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the haze of the night. The little boy standing next to him blinked and looked at his teacher without saying a word.

"Xin'er, take a good look, how will this shocking battle end?"

Chu Nan Gong glanced at the little boy next to Wei Liao, a little surprised, and turned to look at Wei Liao.

"Is this your new disciple?"

"Yes, my name is Han Xin!"

Chu Nanggong smiled slightly, without comment, and turned the topic to the previous question.

"Did you just say it was interesting?"

"The Qin army looks like it is defeated in this battle. Tonight the Chu army attacked the camp with determination and courage. But at this point in the battle, there is still no news of victory among the three armies. Isn't it interesting?"

"After all, they are the elite of Guanzhong. Although their courage has been lost, their ambition is still there."

When Chu Nan Gong said something, Han Xin, who was standing by, suddenly said something.

"I think the Chu army is in danger."

Chu Nanggong was surprised, but he didn't despise Han Xin because he was a child. Instead, he asked.

"Why?"

"The Chu army divided its troops into three groups and attacked the Qin army's left, middle and right bases. It would be a mistake to fail to concentrate the troops to attack one point."

Chu Nan Gong was a little disappointed. It seemed that this disciple Wei Liao didn't even understand the basic formation.

"The three bases of the Qin army's central camp are connected. If only one point is attacked, the soldiers from the other two bases will be surrounded."

"Yes, because the person who commanded the Qin army did this deliberately to let the Chu army divide its troops. He knew the weakness of the Chu army. He would not divide his troops to block the left and right reinforcements, concentrate his troops, and storm the middle base. Instead, he would Lu Qi attacked. The Chu army fell into a battlefield set by others without knowing it, so it was in danger."

Duke Nan of Chu was surprised. At this moment, the people from Qixingtai rushed to the scene and sent the battle report from afar.

Chu Nan Gong took it and opened it, with mixed emotions. After a long time, he looked at Han Xin and said.

"Brother Wei Liao, your disciple is extraordinary!"

"Tian Ji racing?"

In the Chu army camp, Fan Zeng looked at the battle report coming from the front and murmured.

Xiang Shaoyu is beside him. He is the young master of the Xiang clan and has not gone to war. At this time, looking at the frowning military advisor, it was a little strange.

"Master Fan, what's wrong?"

"Qin General deployed his elite troops and horses on the left base to meet Eyang Lord's right army, and then placed the next-level troops on the right base to meet Da Sima's left army. Finally, he placed the weakest army in the entire army. Arranged in the central army tent, facing directly the army of our Xiang clan."

Most of Chu's army was composed of the private armies of the feudal lords. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Xiang family's soldiers and horses were the strongest, followed by the private armies of the various lords headed by Eyang Jun who constituted the right army, and the weakest. It is the army of the Zuo Army composed of the guards of the royal city and some local county soldiers.

"If this Qin general is not an arrogant madman, he is a rare master of war in the world."

Fan Zeng suppressed his uneasiness, looked at Xiang Shaoyu, and asked.

"Then which one do you think it is?"

"the latter!"

"Why?"

"A person who can have an insight into the situation of our Chu army, know the weaknesses of our Chu army, and can complete the deployment of troops without anyone noticing, should not be an arrogant lunatic."

Fan Zeng smiled bitterly. Is it the weakness of Chu State?

There are many lords and different opinions, which is indeed the biggest weakness. If the Qin army had not been determined to destroy Chu this time, these people would have united.

However, uniting is one thing, but the weakness has not been eliminated, which is directly reflected in the military system, that is, the left, middle and right armies of Chu State have clear barriers, each with their own interests.

This is also the reason why the Chu army attacked in three directions. Seeing that the Qin army was defeated, this huge credit cannot only fall on the heads of the Xiang family.

"Shaoyu, what do you think?"

"Crush the central army and kill the enemy's head. In this way, no matter what strategy you use, it will be useless!"

Xiang Shaoyu's answer was very decisive.

"What if I can't?"

"After this battle, Chu's army still has its original advantages, but Qin's army has lost its original disadvantages."

Soon... soon...

Yingbu held his two brothers in hand and led the soldiers to charge very close. Five hundred steps away, there is the main tent of the Qin army.

Fires were burning all around, strong winds were blowing, and Yingbu could vaguely see the figures in the tent through the tent door that was blown away.

But what is that figure doing?

He is actually eating!

For a moment, Yingbu felt ridiculous. At this time, is it time to eat?

It seems that he is desperate, so before dying, should he eat more?

However, the sound in reality made Yingbu's fantasy somewhat shattered.

"Brother, the Qin army is very tightly guarded and we can't rush in."

"We can't retreat, hold on a little longer. Our reinforcements are coming soon."

Just hold on a little longer.

By this time the war started, it was almost dawn. The Thunder Leopard Legion charged forward, which consumed a lot of physical strength. Now, it is all supported by a will.

Yingbu, full of blood and courage, shouted loudly. At this time, like a god of war, he rushed into the last and most tenacious defenders of the Qin army.

He knew very well the significance of taking this Chinese army tent to this battle.

In the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, he was only supported by his breath.

But just when Yingbu was only a dozen steps away from the door of the camp, a sound came from the tent.

"This soup is a bit bland."

Yingbu was stunned, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a huge mountain across the short distance of more than ten steps.

Who is this Qin general?

But before there was an answer to this question, a loud shout was heard in his ears.

"The Lord of Eyang was beheaded by the general Li Xin, and the Chu State's right army was defeated. You were captured without restraint."

As if to confirm this sentence, just when the sky was slightly bright, the most elite flying army of the Qin Army, led by a general who looked like a bloody Shura, rushed directly to the Chinese army camp.

In an instant, the balance of victory and defeat began to tilt.
