Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 987: cornered

PS: There will be another chapter in a while

When Mucha led the army to Hanyuan, the battle was drawing to a close.

There are green grass on the field, but only a few miles long and wide have been ravaged in a mess, flowers are blooming among the corpses and mutilated weapons, grass blades and blood, trampled into mud by people and horses, the ground is full of dark red, can be I want to see the tragic battle just now.

Then they saw this scene:

The foot soldiers under Tian Ben seemed to be going crazy, shouting and chasing the Qin soldiers on the chariot. Although the manpower could not catch up with the wheels after all, but in order to prevent Zhao soldiers from crossing the station and continuing to slaughter those Qin and Wei defeated soldiers. , sometimes the chariot can only bite the bullet for a while, so it gives the infantry an opportunity. Their tactics are very simple, a few people approaching twenty or thirty steps, throwing the iron spear in their hands together, bad luck The charioteer was directly stabbed out of the car. If he couldn't aim at the person, he would shoot the horse. As long as the horse was injured or frightened, the car would easily fall to the ground.

Even so, after all, chariots had the advantage of height and speed. For every Qin Guorong chariot thrown down, two to three Zhao soldiers were killed or seriously injured.

It wasn't until Mucha's army came over that the warriors accelerated away, leaving only the scarred Tian Benbu to stay in place to breathe.

They killed nearly 1,000 enemies, overwhelmed 4,000 or 5,000 people, and destroyed dozens of vehicles. The dead fell into a deep sleep.

Mucha asked the magpie doctors who accompanied the army to treat the wounded, and at the same time looked for Tian Ben. When he finally found him, he saw that he was resting on a large rock. There were arrow wounds on his legs and back, but he seemed to have shot him. The sergeant, who had learned how to deal with the wound, was helping him to draw an arrow to stop the bleeding. Although Tian Ben was daring, he couldn't stand the pain. The spirits in the wine bag relieve the pain.

When Mu Xia passed by, he heard Tian Ben scolding the person who bandaged him: "Why is there so much bleeding? My blood is worthless, but the blood that Shangqing gave me is precious!" He looked distressed.

Seeing Mu Xia coming, Tian Ben struggled to stand up—his feet cramped so badly that he could barely stand. He cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "This battle is fun to kill, but now I have to find a woman."

After bleeding, finding a woman is the most exciting. This is Tian Ben's bold words. Because of this, he does not know how many illegitimate children he has created in Jin and Lu.

"There are women in Xinjiang City." Mu Xia patted him with a smile: "This time you have made a great contribution, and you will definitely be promoted. Don't make the lord angry again for some unnecessary things."

After being slapped lightly by Mu Xia, Tian Ben almost fell to the ground, and he quickly supported him from left and right. After a break, he asked, "But Qin and Wei still ran away, you can catch him now if you catch up. Some of the fallen soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to perform their full work.”

"They can't run away." Mu Xia looked to the west, the Qin people's former army should have reached the bank of the big river by this time.

"There are cavalry at the Dragon Gate on the other side of the river." Mu Xia said to Tian Ben: "I heard that the second army of Qin and Wei wanted to return to Hexi, and Yu Xi had already returned to the horse and reoccupied the Dragon Gate. In front of the second army of Qin and Wei, it was a dead end..."

...

The river is surging, and the mountains are towering.

There is no way to the sky, no way to enter the earth, this is the mood of the Qin and Wei forces after they ran to the river.

After letting the chariot soldiers turn back to prevent the enemy chasing soldiers from approaching, the Qin people's former army accelerated their pace and ran to the river, but they did not see the promised pontoon bridge.

There was only one cavalry patrolling by the river on the other side. Seeing that the Qin army had arrived, there was a roar and a boat was sent over.

On the boat was a bruised-faced Qin official. According to him, Shaoliang Qin's army had already recaptured the Dragon Gate, and the little Zhao cavalry had also returned to Liangshan. Unexpectedly, when the pontoon bridge was set up yesterday, the brigade of cavalry that had already headed south turned out to be a mess. He suddenly came back. Even though there were many guards in Longmen, the outer wall of Longmen was destroyed and there was no way to defend it. Longmen was occupied twice, so the pontoon was not built.

At this moment, those Zhao Qi are showing off their power on the other side. Qin Guoyu will know that Zhao Jun just wants them to despair. There is no possibility of landing.

"All troops go south!"

In a desperate attempt, he issued an order, Puban Ferry, where the hydrological conditions are better than Longmen, and the Qin State's ships are concentrated. If they can go to Puban before the Zhao army arrives, they may escape.

But all Qin people know that this hope is slim, because Puban is still two hundred miles to the south, and Zhao's army has already encircled them to a place less than ten miles away...

It's better to have hope than to give up. The Qin soldiers who had been on the road for two days turned around again and dragged their tired bodies to the south. They had no idea how far they could go, whether they would fall down without walking, or be caught. The Zhao army behind caught up with the prisoners.

But not everyone wants to try their luck in the South.

"General Xu! Wei Jun didn't follow!"

"What?" Qin Guoyu turned his head, just in time to see the remnants of Wei's soldiers who had just been gathered up sitting on the ground, watching the smoke in the east remain motionless.

"Is he trying to stop Zhao Jun for us?" General Qin Guoyu denied this possibility, and because of Qin's chariots and soldiers ignoring friends and foes, Lu Xingcai came over and had a big quarrel with him.

So is he going to surrender? Qin Guoyu showed a ruthless look in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Now they can't protect themselves, so they can only let Wei Jun go.

He spit on the ground and said, "I can't control them anymore, let's go!"

...

Watching Qin Jun go south, Lu Xing showed a sneer.

"What's the use of escaping? If you don't walk twenty miles, you will be surrounded by Zhao Jun."

Lu Xing had long been chilled by Qin's chariots attacking his own troops. He saw that he couldn't cross the river in front, and the chasing troops were coming. In addition to the resentment in his heart, in a fit of anger, he issued an order to break away from the Qin army. .

His wounds were very serious, his left eye was covered with **** gauze, and he looked extremely dreary, but even so, he endured the pain, boarded the army car, and said to the Wei soldiers who were standing there: "The general is incompetent, The three armies suffered, and Lu Xing made the second and third sons suffer."

The morale of the Wei soldiers had been shattered under the impact of Tian Ben, and now there were only those who fought together to survive, prompting them to reunite. The former four or five thousand were now only half, and the rest were either dead or scattered, I don't know. traced.

But he heard Lu Xing say again, "How many are the relatives of the second and third sons still in Hedong?"

The Wei soldiers looked at each other and raised one hand timidly. It was a ten-year-old child soldier with a dirty face. He cried and said, "My parents and my mother are in Xinjiang..." Next, a Hands were raised one by one, and sobbing sounded at the same time. Before the full-scale war, the Zhao clan had already occupied many Wei clan cities and towns. In addition, Qin Wei's organizational ability was limited, so he could only take care of Wei Wu first. Most of the family members of the remaining soldiers did not have time to move to Hexi.

Taking a cursory glance, Lu Xing found that such soldiers accounted for the top ten.

He sighed and said: "Now there is no way out, the Zhao army in the rear is approaching, we have no way to go, you might as well surrender the Zhao army here, at least you don't have to stay away from your relatives and relatives, and save yourself from being alone and burying your bones in a foreign country. "

"General, is this true?" These family members were still in Jin, and the Wei soldiers who were unwilling to stay away from Hedong burst into tears for a while. They stayed in Jin. It is also better than going to Qin to find an unknowable future. And they were in Jin State, so they knew that the days of Zhao's territory were not so bad.

However, there are also people who are suspicious. After all, some time ago, Zhao Jun slaughtered 5,000 soldiers from the country of Zheng, and it has been known to the world.

"This time the coach is Mu Xia, not Robber Zhi. Although this person has a humble background, he is kind-hearted and should not kill prisoners."

These words made everyone feel relieved. Before, they were restrained by the military officials and did not dare to escape. Now that Lu Xing has let go, the soldiers are suddenly moved.

"Gentleman, this..." The Wei clan next to him was anxious and wanted to persuade Lu Xing, but saw that Lu Xingxian stopped him from speaking.

It was not until several brigade commanders waited in place with Wei Bing and surrendered to the Zhao clan that Lu Xing pulled a few of them and said in a low voice:

"Ordinary soldiers can surrender to the Zhao clan. We are children of the Wei clan. We are entrusted by our cousin. Although we are defeated and die, we swear to death. We hid for a while, waiting for the Zhao clan to fight with the Qin soldiers, and we waited for the opportunity to escape at night and go to Linghu City to join the Linghu clan. However, we would return to Anyi to find our cousin army, and ask him to apologize. , let my cousin go!"

...

Five days later, in the city of Anyi in Hedong, Hu, the eldest son of the Zuo Shu of the Qin State, was furious, staring at Lu Xing, who was begging for the crime with his bare arms, and yelled, "You are abandoning your army and fleeing! What is it!"

The retreat of the left flank of the Qin-Wei coalition forces ended in defeat. They were first overtaken by Zhao's vanguard, and the broken Wei soldiers were defeated by Tian Ben's Long Live Charge. At the same time, the Zhao cavalry in Hexi killed another carbine and attacked the Dragon Gate again, cutting off the Qin army's way.

The general Qin Guoyu reluctantly led his army to the south along the river, but was caught up by the main force of the Zhao army who had flanked over, and the two sides were fighting for a while. The Qin army actually imitated Thief Zhi's last battle, but unfortunately the difference in strength was too great. Under the attack of 20,000 Zhao army, they were defeated without any suspense~lightnovelpub.net~ There are countless people who died in the battle and threw themselves into the river. , and the rest chose to surrender.

As for the Wei army who traveled westward with them, after being beaten to death, the commander-in-chief Lu Xing even gave an order not to resist and surrender on the spot, so that the Zhao army captured them without bloodshed.

At this point, the army of 15,000 people on the left wing was completely destroyed, and now the 20,000 people on the right wing of Zhao's army are pressing southward according to Zhao Wuxi's plan, constantly compressing the flank of the main force of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.

As for Lu Xing himself, he took a few people to pass through between the two armies of Qin and Zhao skillfully. After hiding in the woods, he ran to Linghuyi by night and returned to Anyi under the **** of the Linghu clan - the main force of Qin and Wei. New base camp after retreating south.

He didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so he immediately entered the city to inform Wei Ju of the incident. Wei Ju hadn't spoken yet, but he first angered Hu, the eldest son of Qin's concubines.

Under Zihu's scolding, Lu Xing endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He was blinded in one eye because of the wound infection, and the entire left side of his face was swollen, so he could only stare at Zihu with the remaining blood-red eye: "Zuo Shuchang also had a time when Shaoliang City broke and surrendered, since you can To surrender to Zhao, when there is no way out, why can't the ordinary soldiers of the Wei family be surrendered!?"
