Le Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the Qi army's formation finally relaxed.
For two whole days and one night of fierce fighting, the people of Qi adopted a life-threatening fighting style, which even frightened Le Yi, who had made sufficient mental preparations early on.
The flag of King Qi on the other side of the river was flying all the time. The 600,000 Qi troops seemed to have been buffed with courage and charged bravely against the allied forces' arrows.
Jishui was even blocked by mountains of corpses.
Under normal circumstances, although Qi's army is strong, it has always been in the name of its strong financial resources and sophisticated equipment - such as the courage and will to fight, which are often weaknesses.
In this fierce battle, the Qi army was unusually tenacious - it can only be said that the appeal of the Qi King's flag in the hearts of the soldiers at the bottom was really unimaginable.
Under the fierce attack of the Qi army, the coalition forces also suffered heavy casualties... The last wave of offensive was particularly brutal - Tian Bijiang's royal flag actually moved forward. Apparently Qi King Tian Bijiang personally participated in the charge...
That wave of charge almost broke the coalition's line.
Fortunately, Le Yi's command was firm, and the coalition forces were also angered by the huge casualties. They also fought to the death... and were able to withstand the Qi army's offensive.
Now that the battlefield has been decided, King Qi's royal flag has fallen, and the desperate Qi army finally began to collapse.
Le Yi ordered in a deep voice: "The enemy has been defeated, pursue us! Expand the results!"
Yan's main cavalry troops began to attack, outflanking them on both sides.
The infantry phalanxes of Wei and South Korea bit behind the retreating Qi army and began to cross the river.
The cavalry troops and chariots of Qin and Zhao also began to pursue the defeated troops and harvest the battlefield.
The battle of Jishui has come to an end!
The Qi army was defeated, the king of Qi died in battle...the coalition forces suffered a tragic victory!
Bai Qi came to Le Yi with excitement on his face: "Yaqing, this was a great battle!"
"So far, our coalition has beheaded more than 300,000 people! The Qi army is still fleeing, and the subsequent results will be even greater!"
Le Yi was silent for a long time.
The losses paid by the coalition forces were equally heavy.
Of the 500,000 coalition troops, nearly 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers fell in a pool of blood... Both sides suffered half or even more than half of their casualties in the battle. This was a very rare situation.
Because for the vast majority of armies during the Warring States Period, casualties exceeding five percent were considered 'heavy casualties';
If it exceeds ten percent, the soldiers will have begun to flee in fear.
If one can still maintain morale and continue fighting despite more than 30% casualties, then one can be considered a first-class elite soldier in the Warring States Period. At least it's the level of 'dreaded' and 'world-famous'.
In the battle of Jishui, both sides fought to the death and refused to retreat.
The heavy casualties were shocking.
Looking into the reason carefully, it should be that Qi Wangtian Pijiang's offensive remained unchanged for two days and one night, leaving the three soldiers no time to inquire about the casualties and no time to be afraid and sad.
"The first achievement in this battle should be Marquis Quyang." Le Yi finally spoke.
His voice was hoarse and torn - roaring and commanding the battle for two days and one night was really a kind of torture... I don't know how the old Tian Bijiang persisted.
Bai Qi was startled and a little angry!
Why did Xiong Wuliang get the first credit? That damn name again!
That guy wasn't even on the battlefield in Jixi!
However, although Bai Qi was not angry, he was unable to refute.
If Xiong Wuliang hadn't been victorious in Qinnan, forcing Qi to have a decisive battle... Then the outcome of the battle in Jishui was uncertain.
Bai Qi bit his back molars - Xiong Wuliang, Xiong Wuliang...
Sooner or later, I will beat the shit out of you on the battlefield!
Cut off your head!
Let the world see who is the best general in the world!
…
Mulinguan.
Xiong Wuliang received the battle report from the direction of Jishui. When he took a quick look, he couldn't help but take a breath.
The brutality of the Jishui battlefield was beyond Xiong Wuliang's expectation.
According to real history, it was the Qi army who took the initiative to attack...but the coalition forces easily defeated under Le Yi's command. It was not as dangerous and tragic as described in this battle report.
It seems that the butterfly effect caused by oneself is indeed not small.
However, the result is good!
The State of Qi was fully 'demilitarized', and King Tian Bijiang of Qi also died, removing the last obstacle for him to naturally establish his land position.
The five-nation coalition also suffered heavy casualties... After the monarchs of the five nations saw this battle report, they probably all trembled with distress.
Looking at the description of the Qi army's crazy offensive in the battle report... Xiong Wuliang couldn't help but smack his lips, and his admiration for the old Qi King Tian Bijiang arose spontaneously in his heart.
There is also a hint of fear.
Fortunately, Tian Bijiang's madness was directed at the coalition forces, not himself.
But having said that, it is impossible for Qi King Tian Bijiang to go crazy with the Chu army - after all, the goal of the coalition forces (especially the Yan State) is to completely destroy Qi, while the Chu State only wants to support a puppet, and they will still be the monarchs of the new Qi State. From the Lao Tian family.
Xiong Wuliang handed the battle report in his hand to the field nearby.
When Tian Tian took it over and took a look, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a while, he burst into tears.
Xiong Wu's conscience was filled with wonder - in his impression, Tian Di was a cold-blooded and arrogant young man. Except for Xiong Wuliang, who had conquered him, he was arrogant and disdainful of everyone... Who would have thought that Tian Di had such an emotional side?
Tian Di couldn't help but feel sad when he read that Qi King Tian Pijiang personally charged and killed him at an old age, and finally died in battle...
"Father...why are you so impulsive..." Tiandi cried holding the letter.
With Tian Bijiang's great talent and strategy, he must have guessed Xiong Wuliang's intention to secretly support Qi.
Just be like me and cooperate with the Chu people!
Why must we fight to the death?
Tian Di put down the letter and gritted his teeth and said: "What a Five-Nation Alliance Army, what a Yan Kingdom..."
"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"
"I will avenge this revenge sooner or later!"
Tian Di looked at Xiong Wuliang and burst into tears: "Father! Avenge me!"
Xiong Wuliang's head was covered with black lines, but he felt sad at the same time. He coughed dryly and patted Tiandi's head awkwardly: "What a big boy, what a big boy, don't cry, be good."
Tiandi stopped crying, but his face was very ugly.
Obviously, the revenge of killing his father was placed on Yan Guo.
Xiong Wuliang said seductively: "Tiandi, now the King of Qi has died, the coalition has won a great victory, and is advancing rapidly..."
"Are you going to be decadent? Or are you going to inherit the late king's legacy and fight against the coalition forces?"
Tian Di bit his cheek: "Of course we have to resist the enemy!"
"If you don't repel the coalition forces and kill all the Yan people... I, Tian, swear that I will not be a human being!"
Xiong Wuliang clapped his hands: "Okay! You are indeed my great son!"
"It is said that a country cannot be without its master for a day... I will send someone to send you back to inherit the throne of Qi King!"
Xiong Wuliang said hello, hung up the map, and began to teach tips——
"Linzi is no longer safe to defend. Facing the wolves and tigers of the Yan people, we will definitely not be able to defend it."
The sound of the fields is like a loud bell: "If you can't hold it, you have to hold it! With the mermaids of Yan State, the net is broken!"
Xiong Wuliang immediately slapped Tian Di on the back of the head and cursed: "Bullshit! Nonsense!"
"Now that the state of Qi and the country are dependent on you, how can you be impulsive?"
"If the fish dies and the net breaks, won't we hand over thousands of miles of land to the Yan Kingdom's dog thief in vain?"
"Under the underworld, how will you face the late king?"
Tiandi softened again and looked at Xiong Wuliang helplessly: "Then... what should I do with the child?"
"Please give me a clear explanation from my adoptive father!"
