At the mouth of the valley in the east, seven thousand Quyang's new troops came to attack them like wolves and tigers.
At the mouth of the valley in the west, there are three thousand new Quyang troops waiting in formation!
Tian Yao was desperate.
Shaohu waved his hand: "Fire the arrow!"
Three thousand sergeants fired arrows in unison, shooting at the top of their pockets. In the valley, which was not spacious, the soldiers of the Qi army were all huddled together, so that the Chu army's crossbows did not even need to be aimed.
The arrow rain was too dense - even the Qi soldiers with shields in their hands could not protect their hands and feet from arrows, and fell to the ground screaming... And as long as they fell to the ground, they would be trampled into a puddle of flesh...
Tian Yao closed his eyes in despair, no longer having the desire to kill.
The Qi soldiers at the rear who were being chased by the buttocks didn't know what was going on, and were still rushing westward desperately to escape for their lives.
The soldiers of Qi Army at the entrance of the valley on the west side were hit by arrows and suffered heavy casualties - they also subconsciously turned around and tried to run towards the road they came from.
The crowding, the collision, the red eyes, the bright swords and halberds that he did not hesitate to swing at his comrades...
Tian Yao sighed: "This battle is lost!"
He was just a small Wuyang guard, but by chance, he briefly controlled an army of 60,000.
Achievements and fame, inflated desires, and desire to prove oneself... were ruthlessly destroyed by Xiong Liang, Marquis of Quyang of Chu State at this moment.
Along with it, almost all the available soldiers in the southern part of Qi were wiped out.
Tian Yao understood the temper of King Qi Tian Bijiang——
You can make your own decisions. As long as the battle can be won, Tian Bijiang will not interfere with you.
But the battle was lost...
Tian Yao suddenly opened his eyes, which were already red.
If he dies in battle here, his family may still have a chance to live well... If he is captured...
Tian Yao pushed aside the blocking soldiers, jumped out of the chariot, waved the dagger in his hand, and without hesitation went against the fierce flow of people fleeing for his life, pounced on the bright Hou flag, and pounced on the peony tiger under the flag!
A moment later, Tian Yao fell to the ground with five or six arrows stuck in his body.
Seeing the soldiers of Qi running around like headless flies, Tian Yao closed his eyes tiredly.
…
Xiong Wuliang stood up.
The fighting in the valley has reached its final moments.
The Quyang New Army on the east and west sides were steadily compressing the Qi Army's space, killing the Qi Army's soldiers who had no power to fight back with great efficiency.
After the Qi army suffered a large number of casualties and a large number of meaningless corpses trampled to death, it seemed that there was a tendency to reunite and counterattack.
This kind of final struggle from a trapped beast is often the most dangerous and terrifying.
The valley was in chaos, and the Qi soldiers had completely lost their minds. The new soldiers' voices urging them to surrender could not suppress their roars——
Xiong Wuliang looked at Zhong Hua with a solemn expression.
Zhong Hua's eyes were determined, and he suddenly drew his sword in his hand, shouting at Xiao Hei: "Hei Zi, lead a hundred-man team and stay here to protect the lord!"
"The personal barracks obey the order - follow me to kill!"
Except for the one hundred soldiers who stayed at the top of the mountain, the remaining seven hundred soldiers put down their visors and swooped down from the mountainside like seven hundred iron tower monsters!
Go straight to the center of the Qi army!
"What! Xiong Wuliang has a backup plan!"
"General Tian is dead... Let's all run for our lives!"
"Kill! Fight!" Cries with different meanings rippled in the valley.
…
Zhong Hua's seven hundred soldiers first fired a round of crossbows cleanly - these iron crossbow arrows could even penetrate the thick foreskin shields of the Song army's imperial guards, let alone the bodies of these soldiers.
Taking advantage of the Qi army's newly reunited formation being shattered again by iron crossbow arrows, Zhong Hua's seven hundred soldiers were like sharp arrows, piercing the center of the Qi army!
"kill!"
"Kill!" The Quyang New Army on both sides clearly felt that the Qi Army's resistance was weakening again, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace together and fight with all their might.
Dusk falls.
The smell of blood in the forest was so strong that even the crows, which loved to eat flesh and blood, did not dare to approach easily and could only circle back and forth on the top of the forest.
A valley path that is not very long is filled with the corpses of Qi soldiers, overturned chariots, swords, halberds, shields, scattered grain and grass, and military drums...
The land has become muddy, and in some places blood foam will appear when you step on it.
The corpses of more than 60,000 Qi soldiers were all lying in this valley.
"My lord, more than 300 of our new army were killed and more than 400 were injured."
Xiong Wuliang nodded slightly, somewhat heavily.
After all, there are too many enemy troops in this battle.
Even though the Chu army's equipment, terrain, etc. took advantage of it, they still suffered a thousand casualties due to deliberate calculations and unintentional calculations.
The main casualties were concentrated at the last moment, when the trapped beasts of the Qi army were still fighting.
The ancients said that "the enemy must be surrounded by enemies, but the invaders must not be forced", which is quite reasonable.
But in this battle, Xiong Wuliang had no choice - he could only annihilate all the Qi army's effective forces before he could easily conquer [Jucheng].
Counting the casualties of the soldiers, Xiong Wu's conscience was bleeding - at this moment, he sincerely admired Bai Qi, who was famous for his skill in annihilation battles.
The battle of annihilation was so dangerous, but Bai Qi was able to win every battle. He really deserves to be the leader of the Martial Temple... If we fight the Qin army in the future, we must be cautious when facing the killing god Bai Qi...
"Leave one thousand more sergeants to count the results of the battle and collect the spoils of war." Xiong Wuliang ordered: "Send the wounded back to the fief for good treatment."
After a fierce battle, although the Chu army won, they were exhausted physically and mentally.
Excluding the seven or eight hundred casualties, there were also a thousand sergeants left to clean up the battlefield... Xiong Wuliang only had eight thousand usable soldiers left.
At this moment, I can't rest.
"Shaohu, I order you to order three thousand more sergeants to serve as the vanguard of the three armies, and go east to capture [Jucheng] for my lord!"
"I will lead the main force of five thousand to hold the battle for you from behind!"
Shaohu, who was covered in blood, wiped the blood stains on his face. He didn't seem to feel tired at all, and his voice was like a bell: "I will obey the general's order!"
…
The capital of the King of Qi is Linzi.
King Qi Tian Bijiang stood up in shock, smashing the cup in his hand to pieces, with a look of disbelief on his face: "What did you say?"
The messenger knelt on the ground, his face full of fear and trembling: "The Chu army has conquered several cities... Ju, Ju City is in danger!"
Tian Bijiang exclaimed: "Impossible!"
Although the Qi State transferred all its main forces to Jixi to confront the five-nation coalition forces... there should also be tens of thousands of garrison troops in the southern cities.
How could Xiong Wuliang's partial army endanger Jucheng?
Jucheng has a long history, dating back to the Xia and Shang dynasties, and is also an important city.
In today's prosperous Qi State, Jucheng can be regarded as a big city, and the wealth and food stored in it are astronomical.
What's even more frightening is that once Jucheng falls, the southern part of Qi will no longer be able to defend - the Chu army can even use Jucheng as a fulcrum to continue attacking [Muling Pass] northward, thereby threatening the royal capital Linzi!
Xiong Wuliang, how did he do it!
Messenger: "Your Majesty...Xiong Liang used treacherous tactics to lure the defenders of the southern cities. He also set up an ambush in an unknown valley north of [Wucheng] and east of [Mengshan] to trap and kill 60,000 Qi troops..."
"Today, there are almost no soldiers left in the southern border of Da Qi!"
Tian Bijiang's eyes were as wide as bells!
