Because the Huns and Dai people on the north bank of the river were just trying to escape, and the situation was chaotic, the wooden bridge on the river was not destroyed.
The Qin army took the opportunity to seize the wooden bridge and successfully crossed the river on the bridge. There were still some people on the north bank who were willing to fight to the death. However, the situation was over. Their resistance, apart from causing some damage to the Qin army, had no ability to change the situation. It didn't take long. They were all killed.
Most of the more than two thousand Dai troops took advantage of the chaos and ran away. The remaining hundreds of people who did not escape all knelt down and begged for surrender from the Qin army.
"We are willing to surrender, but please spare our lives, general."
Meng Tian nodded and waved his hand to the military officials to confiscate the weapons of these hundreds of generations of soldiers and put them into custody.
His target was not these pawns, but the two escaping kings.
"Zhao Jia, Yan Xi."
Meng Tian felt hot in his heart when he thought that the opportunity to make great achievements was right in front of him.
He immediately called his general Su Jiao and said: "According to what the prisoners said, Zhao Jia and Yan Xi are going to Gaoliu this time to wait for the Huns to go south and make an alliance with them. There are two ways to get to Gaoliu. One is by walking The northwest leads directly to Gaoliu, and the other leads west to Pingyi and then north to Gaoliu."
"Yan Xi and Zhao Jia will definitely take one of the paths, or maybe one of them will take one of them. You and I will divide our forces to pursue them, and be sure to capture them! Capturing the king is a great achievement!"
Hearing Meng Tian's words, Su Jiao's eyes flashed with excitement.
He, Su Jiao, used to be the superior of Zhao Tuo, Shejian, Heiyi and others, but after the destruction of Yan, he was promoted as a county lieutenant and did not participate in the two battles of destroying Wei and Li Xin's attack on Chu. As a result, when he came back after the battle, low-level pawns such as Shejian and Heiyi, who were once lower in rank than him, actually climbed on top of him.
After Wang Jian's battle to destroy Chu, Su Jiao was promoted by Zhao Tuo and made meritorious deeds along the way. After the war, his title was raised to the level of the fifth doctor, but it was still lower than that of Shejian, Heiyi and others.
Su Jiao was also an arrogant person. He didn't say it, but he always felt depressed in his heart. After all, a guy like Hei Butt, who had no education or level, had a higher title than him. How could he be convinced in his heart? Therefore, he has always had the desire to achieve meritorious service and be promoted.
Now that the great achievement of capturing the king is right in front of him, how could Su Jiao not be excited? He immediately raised his hands and said: "The final general will definitely live up to the general's expectations!"
After a while, the Qin army that crossed the river left only a small group to escort the prisoners and count their captures. The remaining chariots and horses were divided into two groups and galloped on the two roads leading to Gaoliu City.
…
On the road leading west to Pingyi.
Cars rattled and horses rustled.
A covered carriage was moving quickly.
"Hu Yi is really despicable and untrustworthy. These Huns used to be more ruthless when robbing things. But when it comes to fighting, they actually run faster than the others."
In the carriage, Dai Wangjia thought about the scene during flood control, and couldn't help but get angrier.
At that time, the Huns and part of the Dai army were on the north bank, and the Qin army was on the south bank, with only a wooden bridge in between to communicate.
Although the remaining Dai soldiers were crossing the river at that time and could not destroy the bridge immediately, as long as the Huns who had already crossed the river did not run away, they would line up on the north bank of the river and use their bows and arrows to cover the remaining Dai soldiers crossing the river. .
In this way, there is still a high chance of blocking the Qin people. After all, the place to cross the river is only so small, and they can even look for opportunities to destroy the bridge. That way they wouldn't be in such a state of embarrassment and running away.
It's a pity that as soon as the Huns fled, the Dai army was quickly defeated, unable to even put up any decent resistance.
King Yan said with a smile: "It's enough to just say the words of complaint on behalf of the king now. If you go to Gaoliu and see the Xiongnu Chanyu, the king on behalf of the king must be humble in his posture and words."
"Now that all the troops under King Dai have been wiped out, and both Dai City and Anyang have been lost, he can be said to be truly alone. He is no longer qualified to negotiate terms with the Huns. At that time, as long as the Huns agree to help King Dai, what conditions will they say , just agree on behalf of the king."
Dai Wangjia's body trembled and he whispered: "What King Yan said is as if we are servants of the Hu people. In the past, my ancestors of the Zhao family attacked the Hu invaders from the north and conquered countless territories. More than ten years ago, Li Mu led me, Zhao The border army defeated and killed a hundred thousand Xiongnu horses, how majestic it was. How can I, Zhao Jia, serve the Xiongnu like a servant today?"
King Yan looked at Grand Tutor Ju Wu who was sitting in the corner and said with a smile: "This generation of kings are still talking about Li Mu's great victory over the Xiongnu in the past. Haha, then my ancestor King Zhao also once defeated the East Hu and expanded the territory thousands of miles away. But that So what, whose hands are the lands of Yan State now? Isn’t your former homeland of Zhao State being ruled by the Qin people!"
"Li Mu?"
"Dead long ago!"
Having said this, King Yan stared at Dai Wangjia and sneered: "King Dai, you should first understand the current situation clearly. In this world, except for barbarians, who will come to help you and I restore our country! "
"Do you know how much I spent to persuade the Huns to go south and restore my country? Day and night, I told the ears of the Xiongnu Chanyu and his nobles how rich the cities of Zhuxia were, how soft and beautiful the beauties of Yanzhao were, and how The land in the south is so fertile... It took me several years to persuade the Huns to come to restore my country and help you, Zhao Jia, resist the Qin people!"
King Yan became more and more angry as he spoke, his white beard trembling, and sour saliva flying from his mouth.
He roared at Dai Wangjia: "But what about you, Zhao Jia! You clearly have tens of thousands of soldiers in your hands, you clearly have several big cities, you can obviously agree to the Huns' conditions on the spot and join forces with the Huns to deal with the Qin army! But what about you? How could you? He was going to do some assassination, but he was taken advantage of by the Qin army, and he was defeated and the city was destroyed, and he ended up in this situation!"
"You still have the nerve to say anything about the late king Pohu in front of me. It's useless! Can you help Zhao Jia restore his country? Can you help you resist the Qin army?"
"Now you, Zhao Jia, are in the same situation as me. You have nothing. We have promised the barbarians, but you don't have anything in your hands. Are you still reluctant to part with the empty promises?"
"I tell you Zhao Jia, now in the world, only the Xiongnu can restore our country, let alone call them servants, as long as they can restore our country, let Gu continue to be the king of Yan. Even if I let Gu claim The Xiongnu Chanyu is a father, so why not!"
In the roar of King Yan's joy.
Dai Wangjia was stunned.
Even Ju Wu, who was sitting in the corner, was surprised, but he sighed and closed his mouth when he thought that the Yan Kingdom was now dead.
Dai Wangjia turned his head, gritted his teeth and looked behind the car.
The carriage has entered a valley with hills on both sides, and there is only one single road leading to Pingyi City in the west.
After some "teachings" from Yan Wangxi, Dai Wangjia completely understood his situation.
He has nothing left.
Even though there are several cities in front of him, such as Pingyi and Gaoliu, he has no army. What's the use of a few small cities in front of the Qin army?
"Are you going to let me be like this Yan Xi and become a slave of the Huns?"
Dai Wangjia murmured.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
As a descendant of the Zhao family, he is very sensitive to the sound of horse hooves.
There is an army approaching!
"What's wrong, the Qin army must be catching up!"
"Charioteer, speed up!"
Dai Wangjia shouted.
When the charioteer in front heard this, he immediately whipped his horse and the carriage suddenly accelerated.
The faces of Yan Wangxi and Ju Wu in the chariot also changed greatly.
Especially Yan Wangxi, his eyes were blank at first and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was caught in some memory.
But soon, his expression calmed down and his eyes refocused, finally landing on Dai Wangjia.
Dai Wangjia panicked and said: "There are still nearly ten miles to Pingyi. The Qin army is chasing them with fast horses. This carriage will definitely not be able to outrun them. If we are caught up, we will be captured by the Qin people."
Ju Wu was also surprised and said: "Otherwise, we get off the car, jump into the surrounding forest, and let the chariot continue to drive the Qin army away. In this way, we may be able to escape with our lives."
Dai Wang Jia said happily: "What the Grand Master said makes sense."
King Yan said indifferently: "It's too late. Look behind you. We have already entered the sight of the Qin army. There is no chance to stop and escape."
Dai Wangjia turned around and saw many Qin cavalry figures on the road behind.
They chased with light cavalry and galloped, getting closer and closer to the carriage.
At this time, it is impossible to get out of the car and run away.
Unless something can stop the Qin army.
"King Yan, we are done waiting."
Dai Wangjia was desperate. Judging from his experience, this was a desperate situation and there was absolutely no escape.
King Yan Xi was very calm.
He said calmly: "On behalf of the king, please open the car door a little more so that I can see the situation of the Qin army. Maybe I can figure out a way to escape."
A way to escape?
Dai Wangjia was surprised. How could he escape from such a desperate situation?
Based on his trust in the elder Yan Wang, Dai Wangjia reached out and opened the rear door as far as possible.
King Yanxi squeezed in behind Dai Wangjia.
He saw that the Qin army's cavalry was approaching.
The distance is almost there.
"King Yan, the Qin army has arrived, how can we escape?"
Dai Wangjia said desperately, looking back at Yan Wangxi.
At this moment of turning back.
He saw.
Yan Wangxi, who usually looked old and sick, actually had his eyes wide open at this moment, staring at him with a ferocious face, and the fierce light in his eyes was very scary.
"Yan..."
Dai Wangjia had just spoken, but before he could finish his words, he saw King Yan Xi flying up and kicking him hard on the back.
"ah!"
Dai Wangjia screamed and fell out of the car.
In his desolate cry, King Yan shouted skillfully to the Qin cavalry behind him.
"This person is the acting king Zhao Jia!"
"He is the acting king you want to capture!"
