I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 641: A Large-Scale Battle Between the Yan and Qin Armies

Although the State of Yan now occupies such a large territory, it has only captured the emperor of an enemy country alive once.

It was Chen Qing who turned against the government and became a rebel, stormed into Shengjing and captured Emperor Kun alive.

As for the rest, the Emperor of Qi was killed by Tong Xuan, the Emperor of Liang was killed by Bai Wuan, and the Emperor of Wei surrendered and escaped on his own.

Therefore, if Su Wuan can capture Emperor Qin alive this time, it will be of great value.

After confirming that it was him, Su Wuan was overjoyed. He had already started thinking about how to use his halberd to charge into Xianyang City, put it on the neck of the Qin Emperor, and force him to kneel down and surrender.

Then the news spread to the army of the prince in the east. After Yang Hongying learned about her heroic deeds, she was so fascinated by herself that her eyes were full of stars, and she shouted that Brother Xiao Su was so handsome.

"Xiao Su, you must capture him alive and send him to Shengjing City so that His Majesty can see what the emperor looks like."

"sure."

"Well, first, select 50,000 elite troops, take them behind, and circle westward. When it gets dark and we are engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy, you will charge into Xianyang City.

Don't bring artillery, it's inconvenient. You are going to launch a surprise attack on the city, and it's inconvenient to carry it with you.

Bring more divine thunder to blow up the city and palace gates. There should still be some imperial guards in the city. These people are extremely loyal to the emperor. There is no point in keeping them around. We must kill them all."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Looking at Su Wuan's young face, Guan Shouchang said again,

"Your side is the key. As long as we can capture the Emperor Qin alive and force him to surrender, we can end the battle here.

But you don't have to feel too stressed. Even if we fail to capture them alive, we can still defeat the enemy fairly and enter the city.

Of course, as long as you can charge into the city, that will be enough. When the army outside learns that Xianyang has been captured, their morale will surely be in chaos, and we will be able to fight them easily."

"okay, I get it."

"Go."

Su Wuan turned and left, mounted his warhorse, went to his own unparalleled army, mobilized 50,000 elite soldiers, and at the same time let another 50,000 people obey Guan Shouchang's command.

After giving the instructions, he quietly left the main force with the 50,000 men and headed west.

The Yan army deployed its troops in battle array. The 250,000-strong army marched in a mighty force, arranged in a regular square formation. After completing their preparations, they moved towards the south step by step.

This area of ​​dozens of miles could turn into a battlefield at any time. The enemy was already prepared and would engage in battle at any time. It would certainly be inappropriate to use a marching formation. Fortunately, there was no baggage except for the Shenji Camp, so they directly deployed their troops and marched on this vast Guanzhong Plain.

It took another three hours to walk this distance!

It was not until evening and the sun was setting that they finally saw the city walls in the distance and the overwhelming army.

Guan Shouchang sat on a tall horse, two miles away from the enemy, observing the enemy's formation with a telescope.

"Chen Qing, did you see that? The enemy has a really big appetite. They actually deployed the Crane Wing Formation and surrounded us with 300,000 men. They are planning to annihilate our army completely!"

Hearing this, Chen Qing also took a look through the telescope and frowned.

“If you want to encircle the enemy, you must have an absolute advantage in terms of manpower, at least twice as many as the enemy, and the commander must be extremely confident in his own command ability before he dares to do so.

They have 300,000 men, and they think we also have 300,000 men on our side. In a battlefield with 60,000 men, even if we climb high and look far away, we can't see the end without a telescope. We can't respond quickly to any sudden changes, and a single move can affect the whole body.

In such a huge battlefield, when the prince fought Tong Xuan, he had the advantage in military strength, but he still commanded the battles separately.

Zheng Pingan actually dared to join the fight, could he lead them all?"

Guan Shouchang shook his head and smiled, saying,

"If he wants to surround us, then let him. Our army will be in the center, gathering superior forces and forming an impenetrable defense line. They will be on the periphery, with weaker defenses. Then, we will divide their defenses and inflict casualties on their forces until their emperor surrenders."

"it is good."

Guan Shouchang immediately ordered the entire army to stop moving and to form a battle array on the spot. The Shenjiying artillery was pushed forward to attack the enemy.

At this time, they were still two miles away from the enemy, but also within the range of artillery attack.

Anyway, the enemy's goal is to surround them. They can stay still, but the enemy cannot.

And the enemy cannot move. I will keep bombarding you. Will you move?

The enemy had a total of 300,000 people, stretching five miles from east to west, and the formation was huge.

After the Shenjiying artillery was in place, it fired immediately.

It doesn't matter whether you hit the target or not, there are enemies all in front of you anyway.

Boom boom boom!

Cannons spewed flames and fired shells, which landed heavily on the heads of the Qin army, blowing them to pieces.

Zheng Pingan of the Qin army saw that the Yan army could still hit them even though they were far away, and he knew that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately shouted,

"Attack with all your forces, surround the enemy, kill them all, and destroy their artillery!"

"Old Qin, let us face the national crisis together. We will not stop fighting until our blood is shed and we die!"

"charge!"

As the drums were beaten, the Qin army's fighting spirit was aroused and they rushed forward.

The crane wings on both sides gradually folded forward as they charged.

On the Yan army's side, the formation has been fixed, and there are defensive formations in all directions.

The artillery continued to fire, and each shell made the Qin army cry for help.

Now the offense and defense have changed. The attacking side starts to defend, and the defending side starts to actively attack.

When the Qin army was less than half a mile away from the Yan army, the Yan army's artillery retreated, the front line closed, and the archers began to shoot arrows.

Waves of arrows were fired towards the Qin army. There were enemies everywhere, so they just had to keep shooting and they would definitely be able to kill a lot of Qin soldiers.

The Qin army lived up to its name of Qin elite soldiers. They were not afraid of sacrifice and fought bravely. Even though their comrades fell one after another, they did not retreat and launched a fierce charge towards the Yan army.

The Qin army had to defend their country and they had no way to retreat. Behind them was the city of Xianyang. If Xianyang was destroyed, the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed.

They cannot retreat and must kill all the enemies.

The Yan army had run out of food and supplies and had cut off their retreat. In front of them was the city of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, which had a huge amount of food.

If you want to live, fight your way in.

Both sides, with strong beliefs and strong fighting power, engaged in battle with the enemy.

The Yan army turned all the fatigue and suffering along the way into anger, roaring and stabbing the weapons in their hands into the chests of the Qin army.

It doesn't matter if I die, as long as I can kill a few more people, my comrades can survive!

Everything, for Dayan! For unifying the world!
