Chapter 377

"King!"

"Well, Xiangyang is fairly stable. How is the war in Henan?"

"Back to the king, the ladies are all right. They just miss the king. Before going south, Chuang army has broken Luoyang..."

Qin Yi quickly said what he knew, and then took out a few letters from his arms and handed them to him: "king, these are what the ladies asked the end to give you."

"Well, you've worked hard for two days. Go down and have a rest first!"

Qin Huan received the letter and waved his hand. Although he was worried about the war in the north, he also knew that it was too late to beat the eight kings first.

However, after reading the six letters, I felt the deep thoughts and concerns among the lines of several women, and my heart inevitably gave birth to a warm feeling.

At last, someone cares about his life and death.

After Qin Yi arrived with 20000 troops, Qin Huan did not intend to delay. These two days, he secretly sent someone to the south bank to inquire about the news.

Although Wuchang City is still holding on, and Lu Xiangsheng is at a loss for a moment, Zuo Liangyu came to Wuchang with his army three days ago.

If he had not defeated the eight kings before the left army arrived, the gentry and landlords in the city would probably turn against the water, so he didn't want to delay for a moment.

Just as Qin Huan was going to send someone to deliver the war to the eighth king, the eighth king sent the war to him first.

"Go back and tell the eighth king that the two armies will fight a decisive battle at noon tomorrow. New enemies and old hatred will be counted together. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy."

"Well, King Hua deserves to be a hero. I'll leave!" The visitor was very happy to see Qin Huan's answer so simply. He arched his hand and turned away without a word of nonsense.

When they returned to the Chu army camp, eight kings and sun expected to know Qin Huan's attitude, but frowned.

"Adoptive father, the boy's return is so simple. Isn't he really sure or what else to rely on?"

Lao sun thought for a moment and tried to say that Qin Huan had suffered too much. He couldn't help thinking and worrying.

"Boss, don't be ambitious and destroy your prestige. He still has a fart to rely on. His dozens of cannons have no gunpowder for a long time. I don't believe our 150000 troops and can't beat his 50000 people."

Although there were some doubts in the hearts of the eight kings, their faces were full of confidence.

"My adoptive father is right. I'm too careful." Sun expected to think about it and nodded. Even if the boy was cunning and the two armies were fighting head-on, he was not afraid that he could play with flowers.

The father and son encouraged each other and made a plan. They almost didn't discuss directly how to divide up Qin Huan's women after defeating Qin Huan and occupying the whole Huguang.

……

The next day, before dawn, the camps of both sides became lively. Teams of soldiers dressed neatly, took weapons, and then went to have breakfast.

After breakfast, it was completely bright, and the army began to line up.

The Chinese army, including 6000 troops and 20000 reinforcements, has only about 53000 people, leaving 3000 people stationed in the camp. The remaining 50000 people just spent more than half an hour lining up and pressing North.

This time, Qin Huan did not take the tactics he had used to deal with Lu Xiangsheng. Instead, he put the fire gun soldiers on the left and right wings, and the reinforced t-camp, a total of about 14000 people.

The first town and the second town plus the c-camp are placed in the middle, with about 15000 people, and the remaining 6000 troops and 15000 reinforcements are placed at the end.

In two battles with Tianxiong army, the troops of both sides are almost the same, so we can replace defense with attack, hold the front with firearm soldiers and wait for the other party to charge.

But this time, the strength of the Chu army is three times that of them, so we must take the initiative to attack, break through the face and defeat the other party in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if the other side is allowed to attack calmly, once the war is stuck, there will be some trouble.

After all, after more than half a month's fierce battle, the ammunition of the fire gun soldiers was insufficient. Because of this, he dared not drag on.

Compared with the rapid movement of the Chinese army, the Chu army is much slower. First, there are a large number of people, and second, the usual training is not as good as the Chinese army.

So it took two hours for the army to line up outside the camp. The army was divided into three pieces. Looking at it, the black heads were overwhelming and could not see the end at a glance.

Zhang Xianzhong personally led 100000 troops to face the Chinese army. Sun hope and another general led 20000 people respectively from the left and right wings, and finally 10000 people stayed in the camp.

After only half an hour of advancing, the eight kings led 100000 troops, and the two armies met, sun Wang and another general, due to their small number of troops and high speed, have circuitously returned to the left and right wings of the Chinese army, forming a three bread encirclement.

Qin Huan could do nothing about it. They had too few troops. It was normal for them to be surrounded by three sides. If they wanted to avoid it, they would not fight, but it was impossible.

In order to prevent the Chu army from continuing to detour and surround them, Qin Huan was too lazy to talk nonsense with the eighth king, and directly refused the eighth King's request to him to go out and answer.

After all, three bread encirclement was not a big problem, but once surrounded by four sides in the field, Qin Huan knew that he would lose no doubt, even if he was arrogant, so he came up with the army and didn't give the other party a chance to detour.

"Attack!"

With the roar of King Qin, 15000 elite soldiers in the middle rushed towards the Chu army in front like a flood breaking the dike.

"Kill!"

"Go!"

More than 10000 troops just keep the basic formation of Wu and Shi, which looks like a swarm of bees, which is completely different from the mandarin duck array when Tianxiong army charged.

However, it was not the Tianxiong army, but the Chu army with few armor, bows and arrows. Most people only had a long gun and a set of military uniforms that had not been changed.

"Boys, it's time to make achievements! Kill me! "

The eighth king didn't expect Qin Huan to be so decisive. More than 10000 people dared to attack his 100000 army. He couldn't help roaring angrily from his heart and twisted his face.

Although none of the 100000 people were killed, more than half of them were killed, and the eighth King left only 30000 people.

For the Chu army lacking a command system, 100000 people and eight kings can only rush up in batches, and even detours should be made in advance.

Before the two armies collided, sun Wang and another commander couldn't wait to bring the army up from the left and right, and the 40000 troops under their command were elite.

Obviously, after so many years of fighting, even if the level of the eight kings is no longer limited, they know that the more they have, the fewer the other side, and the wider the contact area, their number advantage can be better brought into play.

As soon as Qin Huan waved his flag, the 14000 firearm soldiers on the left and right wings lined up with neat steps and slowly met him.
