Chapter 91: I Can Beat Lao Tzu
Ren Fang's advance was very fast. Before the second echelon could react, Ren Fang rushed in with nearly ten thousand men under his command.
Then there was another flurry of excitement.
Facing Wang Buxian's calmness, Sima Xin could no longer remain calm.
The salient has been defeated.
The morale of his own army is in chaos, and what's even worse is that now he can't organize an effective defense.
Of course, what scares Sima Xin the most is...
He must find a way to block the opponent's attack. Once they defeat the second phalanx, the next thing they will face will be his main formation.
Once the Chinese army is defeated, the battle will be over.
But looking at the opponent's offensive posture, Sima Xin frowned tightly.
It won’t work without wrinkles.
Breaking through a large formation of ten thousand people, theoretically speaking, they should have expended some energy at this time.
Whether it's in terms of military strength or physical strength.
But now the opponent seemed to have no consumption at all. When leaving the first formation and rushing towards the second formation, they even accelerated.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the other side resumed its previous speed.
Smooth and smooth, it reminds me of something.
Judging from the time it took for the first large formation to be broken through, it probably only took less than half a quarter of an hour?
"Shoot! Shoot them all! We must not let them break through this formation!" Sima Xin panicked and ordered quickly.
"???" The deputy general looked at Sima Xin in confusion, probably meaning, are you messing with me?
"Send the order, beat the drum quickly!" Seeing that the deputy general did not respond, Sima Xin urged the drum officer impatiently.
"Chang Shi, our soldiers are still fighting with them!" the drummer said hesitantly.
"What a bloody battle. Did you see them fighting with your eyes? Beat the drum quickly, otherwise when they rush over, everyone will be finished!" Sima Xin said fiercely.
"No! Once such an order is given, we will be finished as well, and we will definitely be finished even more thoroughly than we are now!" The deputy general only reacted at this time and stopped him quickly.
"I asked you to play the drum! I asked you to pass the order!" Sima Xin looked at the drum officer angrily and ignored the deputy general's words.
"These are not the Forbidden Army, nor are they from the Old Qin!" the deputy general roared. He simply couldn't imagine how much water Sima Xin had in mind before he dared to issue such an order!
Of course Sima Xin knew the consequences of doing so.
Of course he knew that his men were nothing more than an army of prisoners.
It's okay for these people to bully the weak and fear the tough, and it's okay to use them to attack the few with more.
But let them shoot bows and arrows at their own people, which they may really not be able to do.
But what if you can’t do it?
Sima Xin knew better than anyone else that although there were not many people on the other side, they were definitely elites, and the ragtag group under him simply couldn't hold them back.
If they don't react excessively, the entire formation will soon be penetrated by it. At that time, a complete military formation will be divided into two. If the opponent takes two more rounds, they will be completely finished.
It doesn't even take two rounds. As long as they penetrate the Chinese army, the remaining 70,000 people will be defeated almost instantly.
In fact, there are now signs of collapse.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a large formation of ten thousand people was broken through.
They were beaten so hard that they had no power to fight back, but the opponent still looked relaxed. Facing such an opponent, who wouldn't be afraid? Who wouldn't be afraid?
But Sima Xin felt that he had to do this. Although it might cause dissatisfaction from others, at least he could remain undefeated, and he might even annihilate them.
Sima Xin glanced at the lieutenant general. This guy had always disliked him since the division of troops. He always had to interrupt and undermine his authority as the commander-in-chief.
Dissatisfaction, unwillingness, and anger instantly enveloped Sima Xin's mind.
"Should the entire army be annihilated? Or should we keep hope?" Sima Xin decided to give the opponent one last chance, but instead he drew his sword and pointed it at the drummer.
He had already thought about it. If the lieutenant continued to talk too much later, he would make a show of killing this bullshit lieutenant with a sword first.
"There are few of them!" The adjutant unceremoniously rejected Sima Xin's random command, and immediately ordered to the drummer: "Send the order, the left and right wings will insert into the rear of the front army, cut off its front and rear communication, and the three rear armies will outflank it.
They surrounded them, and the three armies maintained their formation to withstand their attack!"
"Bastard, you are overstepping your authority! Come on, take it down!" Seeing that the adjutant not only ignored him, but also overstepped his authority and gave orders directly.
Sima Xin's violent temper was instantly triggered. What the hell? What the hell is this?
I'm still alive, when will it be your turn to take command?
"Hmph! Take it down and tie it up! Don't get in the way!" the deputy general snorted coldly. He really couldn't stand this Sima Xin who was giving random orders.
No one listened to Sima Xin's order. Instead, at the deputy general's order, dozens of soldiers sprang out in an instant and controlled Sima Xin in the blink of an eye.
In the eyes of these people, Sima Xin is just a long history who can only talk about military affairs on paper without any actual combat experience.
Shooting at your own people?
Not to mention that they are leading an army of prisoners now. Even if it is a serious Qin army composed of old Qin people, they would not dare to do this.
So what if we win this battle?
If you return to Xianyang, you will still be killed.
What's more, these are still prisoners?
I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to let you go back to Xianyang.
"You bastard, that's unreasonable! You resist? You don't even look at it, can you resist?" Sima Xin, who was tied up in various ways, was filled with anger, his old face turned red and he cursed angrily.
"Resisting is better than your bad idea of destroying the city wall. Stop your mouth and give the order!" The deputy general looked at Sima Xin with some disgust, and immediately decided not to ignore him.
As for killing him?
He had never thought about this. Daring to kill the general was tantamount to rebellion.
Although the current behavior is almost the same, as long as we can win, everything will be easy later.
And Sima Xin now really regrets not taking action earlier. If he killed him, he would not have to bear any charges.
As for saying that you don’t understand soldiers?
Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous.
Chang Shi is not just as simple as it sounds in name, nor is he just a civil servant.
He also has another title, called General Shi.
Wen can assist the generals in campaigning, setting up battle formations, deploying troops and logistics, and other chores, while Wu can lead the troops in battle alone.
Therefore, a person who can be a general may not be able to make a good long history, but if a person can be a good long history, there is a high chance that he can become a general.
Of course Sima Xin knew that his side had a military advantage, but now, what kind of advantage was this?
When a tired army and a ragtag group met an opponent of the same level as Zhou Wen, they could still defeat him by relying on numbers and tactics.
But when you encounter Wang Buxing who doesn't play by the rules, and his soldiers are so elite, how can you fight this battle?
