It was obvious that the Wuguan garrison could no longer organize any sizable resistance. Quyang's soldiers were full of morale and charged into the city to kill fiercely.
Zhong Hua led the military camp and stayed by Xiong Wuliang's side - although this veteran could no longer fight in battle, he still fulfilled his duties.
A group of sergeants still guarded the northwest wall.
A group of soldiers went to seize other city walls and guard the gates.
Another group of soldiers rushed straight into the city lord's palace, fearing that the enemy general would escape (they didn't know that Sima An was lying under the city wall and had been hit by several arrows).
The thousand-man team under Hong Shitou had a clear goal and went straight to control the Wuguan warehouse where grain, ordnance and kerosene were stored.
Shaohu personally led the remaining several thousand troops to kill the remaining Qin soldiers road by road and barracks one by one.
The shouts of killing lasted all night long...Qin's soldiers were indeed brave. Even when the situation was over, few of them surrendered voluntarily.
The sound of killing gradually subsided, and the sound of clashing swords and halberds became increasingly sparse, and finally disappeared completely... Eight thousand Quyang disciple soldiers have completely taken control of Wuguan!
This invincible fortress on the border between Qin and Chu, the southeast gate of Qin, and the Jintang Pass that Chu has never truly conquered... was finally defeated today by the hands of Quyang Hou Xiong Liang!
"Lord! Our army has captured Wuguan!" Shaohu came back to life covered in blood, and the hair on his chest had been smeared together with blood. At this moment, the general's face was full of excitement, obviously he had killed a lot last night.
"How many casualties are there in our unit?" Xiong Wuliang asked.
"Reporting to my lord - our army's casualties are only four to five hundred!" Shaohu's voice sounded like thunder.
Quyang's soldiers captured Wuguan in a surprise attack at the cost of four to five hundred men.
Wuguan once had tens of thousands of defenders, and the number of casualties was as high as seventy-eight out of ten. Qin general Sima An and his deputy generals were all beheaded together... As for the Qin army who luckily escaped from the city and ran around in panic, most of them would be swallowed up by the snowfield.
Another battle loss ratio of over one to ten!
The Chu army was brave and took the lead in the sneak attack... Coupled with a volley from the northwest city wall, it directly killed the Qin army's general and thousands of Qin soldiers who came to support... This battle loss ratio is reasonable. .
That is to say, the Qin army is really tough, and it still holds on to the end even with no hope of victory... If it were the Qi army that was more 'aware of current affairs', the casualties under Xiong Wuliang's command would not even exceed a hundred people.
Xiong Wuliang and Zhao Hua looked at each other - four to five hundred casualties were completely acceptable.
In this battle, the Chu army made a surprise attack from behind and captured Wuguan... As long as the news comes out, it will shock the world!
Xiong Wuliang ordered in a deep voice: "Repair the city defenses immediately and count the ordnance in the treasury!"
"Bai Qi's army is on the way, our army must not slack off! The war is still to come!"
Shaohu responded happily: "The general has arranged for soldiers to guard the city wall. Don't worry, my lord!"
Now there are more than 7,000 Chu troops in Wuguan, and Bai Qi's army has more than 70,000... It sounds like a huge disparity in numbers, but Bai Qi's army does not have heavy siege equipment, nor sufficient supplies... On the other hand, Wuguan is very dangerous, as if Natural moat.
At present, the chance of annihilating the Baiqi Qin army has reached 90%!
Xiong Wuliang and Zhao Hua looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, a hint of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and the battlefield became brighter...
Suddenly, a shrill howl came from the top of the city - like a wounded beast wailing. It is hard to imagine that this is a sound that humans can make.
"What's going on?" Xiong Wuliang's smile stiffened slightly and he frowned again.
The howls on the top of the city quickly became a chorus - obviously it was not just one person who was roaring.
The soldiers Xiong Wuliang sent to investigate quickly walked down the city in a hurry, with ugly expressions on their faces. His lips moved for a long time, and finally he just whispered: "Master... you'd better go and see for yourself."
…
When Xiong Wuliang climbed to the top of the city, he saw all the New Army soldiers on the top of the city kneeling in the same direction——
South of Wuguan, as far as the eye can see, there is a huge mound - the dawn light makes this mound clearly displayed in front of the Chu army standing on Wuguan City.
The shape of the mound is regular, and it is obviously piled up manually - judging from the height of the grass above, it seems that the mound has only been built in recent years. Think about it for a moment - this huge mound is shaped like a tomb, but it is much larger than an ordinary tomb...
Xiong Wuliang understood instantly.
The last trace of victorious smile on his face disappeared at this moment.
Zhong Hua, the commander of the personal camp on the side, strode over, threw himself at the mound, and fell to his knees, roaring like a wild beast... Thousands of Chu soldiers on the city wall knelt together. He fell to the ground and roared endlessly!
History within seven or eight years, the huge tomb south of Wuguan...
The answer is already obvious——
Buried inside are the 80,000 Chu soldiers whose heads were missing during the first Danyang defeat!
"...Sincerity is both brave and martial, and ultimately strong and invincible; while the body is dead, the spirit is a spirit, and the soul is resolute and a ghost hero..." On the city wall, the soul-calling sounds of the soldiers of the Chu army could be heard one after another.
Those who had relatives who died in the First Danyang War were kowtowing and crying at this moment.
Xiong Wuliang was silent, then took off the iron helmet on his head and placed it on the ground... He knelt on the ground like many soldiers and bowed respectfully to the giant tomb three times.
Zhong Hua on the side pulled out the dagger from his waist and cut a long wound on his face... The wound burst open and his face was covered with blood. Zhong Hua seemed to feel no pain and just stared at the giant tomb.
Dozens of veterans who had fought with Xiong Wei also knelt on the ground and slashed their cheeks with swords...
Drenched with blood.
Xiong Wuliang stood up and helped Zhong Hua and the other veterans, without saying much - at this moment, any consolation was ineffective.
He waved to his soldiers and ordered: "Go, cut off a corner of my Quyanghou flag and put it into a wooden box."
"Put the wooden box on top of this tomb again - when this battle is over, I will take these comrades home!"
The soldiers still had tears streaming down their faces, and roars came one after another from the top of the city.
Xiong Wuliang looked at the Chu soldiers who were still sad and angry on the city wall. He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said loudly: "Second and third sons, listen! This battle is not over yet!"
"Qin Rong killed my comrade and cut his body into pieces! His remains were humiliated in Qin and cannot return home... This hatred is irreconcilable!"
"Commanders of the three armies, please stand up first! Follow me and take revenge on Qin Man!" Xiong Wuliang raised his arms and shouted!
The Chu army officers and soldiers on the city wall stood up in unison, with real anger flashing in their eyes!
"Revenge! Revenge!" More than 7,000 soldiers of the Chu army, who had fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives, raised their swords and halberds in unison and roared angrily.
The swords and halberds are like a forest, and the morale is like a rainbow.
Anger, nostalgia, shame, shame...at this moment, they all turned into raging murderous intent.
The Chu army's fighting spirit has reached its peak at this moment!
