"Nan Guojun, do you think those big men can defeat the Qin people?"

Behind the left wing of the Qi army, the Yeyi soldiers in reserve were standing on tiptoes, looking forward.

There were heads everywhere. He looked for a long time but didn't see anything.

Nanguo Gua knew that Mei was talking about the thousand martial arts warriors.

"Yes."

Nan Guogua replied, but his eyes kept looking back, already thinking of retreating.

Unlike Mei, an unsophisticated commoner who comes from a lower class background, Nanguo Gua is a descendant of a noble family, and he travels all over the country while selling melons, so he is very clever.

People like Mei looked around and saw that there were tens of thousands of Qi army reserve troops around who had not been sent to the battlefield, and one by one they felt that the problem was not big.

After all, he has many soldiers.

But Nanguo Guake noticed that from the beginning of the battle in the morning until now, the battlefield where the Qin and Qi armies were fighting has been moving towards the Qi army.

This shows that the Qi army has been retreating, which is a sign of losing ground to the Qin people.

At the same time, in front of them, near the military officials at the rear of the battlefield, lay the corpses of many Qi people. Those were deserters who had retreated from the front line and were executed directly on the spot.

Nan Guogua thought to himself, under what circumstances would deserters appear?

And when those thousand burly men were sent to the battlefield, Nan Guogua's heart skipped a beat.

Others thought that these thousands of martial arts warriors were sent to the battlefield to win victory.

But what appeared in Nan Guogua's mind was the scene of some gamblers he had seen, who lost in the end and pushed all their savings away with red eyes.

The Qi army has sent several reserve units to the battlefield in succession, increasing the pressure step by step, and now it has also pushed out its biggest trump card. These signs make Nan Guogua feel alert.

Back then, his ancestor of the Nanguo family had lived a prosperous life in the Qi Palace for several years.

Later, the matter was revealed. Before the King of Qi punished him, Mr. Nanguo anticipated the danger and fled. This allowed his Nanguo family to thrive until now.

Nanguo Gua also inherited this keen sense of danger passed down from his ancestors.

"By the time we go to the battlefield, I'm afraid our defeat has already been decided. Even if I, Nan Guogua, are brave and brave, I can't change the situation, so it's better not to do such useless things. It's only right to save your life."

While Nan Guogua was thinking secretly.

Mei yelled, "Oh, what's going on?"

Nan Guogua quickly looked up and saw that the left wing of the Qi army in front of them began to commotion.



"What a Zhao Tuo, he actually knows that this is my weakness."

At the command post at the rear of the Qi army, Tian Chong opened his eyes wide and stared at the left flank of the Qi army to the south.

When setting up the formation, he considered that being close to the river in the south would help limit the performance of the Qin army's chariots and cavalry, so the weaker troops among the generals were arranged on the left wing.

Now, as he sent martial arts warriors and 10,000 Qi troops to launch a surprise attack from the north, the Qin army was not to be outdone and sent troops to attack from the south.

They saw two phalanxes of ten thousand people pouring out of the Qin army's rear formation, along the side of Pu River, intending to circle to the Qi army's left flank for a side attack.

"Send an order to Tian Dan to mobilize 20,000 people... no, mobilize 30,000 people to come up! Block this Qin army for me!"

Tian Chong responded immediately and mobilized troops to support the left wing.

Zhao Tuo now sent an army of 20,000 people to attack his left wing. This was because he did not take his killing move seriously.

Tian Chong then thought about it, this was a good thing for Qi Jun.

As long as his martial arts warriors and ten thousand elites can defeat the Qin army blocking the road, they can reach the opponent's central army, which will cause greater damage to the Qin army.

But when Tian Chong's eyes moved to the battlefield on the north side, he was stunned.

The sharp knife that had penetrated the Qin army's battle formation with unparalleled momentum from the beginning had already been broken.

The black wave has surged up again, and the offensive is extremely fierce, swallowing up the martial arts warriors and more than 10,000 soldiers who had placed great expectations on Da Sima.



At the same time, after receiving the order from Da Sima, Tian Dan immediately mobilized 30,000 troops in the rear to support the left wing.

"Nan Guojun, it's our turn to go into battle."

May yelled.

Nan Guogua looked around and saw generals at all levels of the Qi army shouting everywhere.

"Quick, quick, quick! Get your weapons!"

"Go into battle and kill the enemy! Charge!"

The war drums were beating, and under the shouts of the military officials, these three legions of 10,000 people began to rush forward, trying to resist the 20,000 people sent by the Qin army.

Yeyi and Yiwei's soldiers were the last ones to arrive at Zhencheng. After only a few days of training, they immediately lost their formation as soon as they started running. At a glance, they were all surging heads and it was a mess.

"For the sake of your Majesty, for the sake of Qi! We will fight against the Qin people!"

Nan Guogua yelled, his face turned red with excitement, he raised the halberd in his hand high, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit.

"Nanguo Jun is so strong!"

Seeing Nan Guo Gua being so heroic, Mei was inspired and shouted: "Come on, kill Qin Dog!"

He took big steps and rushed forward, but in an instant he was covered by the crowd and disappeared.

Watching Mei and Pao Ze rushing forward one by one, Nan Guogua also ran hard.

Every two steps he takes, he pauses. Every five steps he takes, he takes two steps.

Nanguogua kept moving forward at a constant speed and slowly fell to the end of the team.

"Come on, kill Qin Gou!"

Nanguo Gua screamed at the top of his lungs, and at the same time kept looking back to spy from the running crowd on where the military law teams in charge of killing deserters were standing.

He was shocked to find that among the soldiers who were left behind, there were actually many people who had the same idea as him.

There are even people who go further than him, taking three steps to take two steps in the same place.

Soon, before their supporting teams could rush forward to fight the Qin army, the left wing of the Qi army at the front collapsed, and a large number of Qi soldiers turned around and ran back crazily.

Seeing the chaos ahead, the soldiers who turned around and fled mixed with the soldiers who went to support, Nan Guogua's eyes widened, and he turned around immediately without hesitation.

"Our army is defeated!"

"The Qin army is coming, everyone, run away!"

Nan Guogua shouted, and the surrounding soldiers were shocked by the rout in front. When they saw someone taking the lead, they quickly turned around and ran after him.

However, in a moment, thousands of Qi troops turned around and charged back. The Qi military officials in the rear who raised their swords and prepared to kill the deserters were all stunned.

Even some military officials turned around and fled after being stunned.

Seeing this scene, Nan Guogua ran faster and shouted harder.

"Run quickly, our army is defeated!"



"I...lost?"

Da Sima Tian looked at the battlefield in the distance and trembled to himself.

The Qin army sent 20,000 troops to attack the left flank of the Qi army. Tian Chong immediately reacted and sent 30,000 troops to support.

But orders issued later must be slower.

Fortunately, when the Qi general who was in charge of commanding the left wing at the front discovered the Qin army's intentions, he sent 5,000 men to resist the Qin army, intending to carry it until reinforcements from the rear arrived.

But those 20,000 Qin troops not only ran very fast, but their combat effectiveness was beyond imagination.

In just one encounter, the 5,000 Qi troops sent to resist were defeated by the Qin army, and the defeated soldiers were driven back to attack the left flank of the Qi army.

Among the three units of the Qi army, the left wing was the weakest. When fighting with the right wing of the Qin army on the opposite side, it was already at a disadvantage and was beaten back again and again.

Now that they were defeated, they suddenly fell into chaos and panic. Immediately afterwards, the fierce 20,000 Qin troops rushed in.

Without any suspense, the tens of thousands of people on the left wing of the Qi army collapsed completely.

The Qi soldiers on the left wing no longer had the will to fight, and were chased by the Qin army and fled.

At this time, the 30,000 Qi troops that Da Sima had just mobilized also rushed to the rear of the left wing, and happened to collide with the large number of defeated soldiers.

"I haven't even started yet, so why did I lose?"

This question turned around in the heads of the 30,000 soldiers at the rear, and then they were completely dispersed by the defeated soldiers.

The 30,000 reserve team, which had no training and no coordination with each other, couldn't take action with weapons when faced with Pao Ze who turned around and ran away one by one.

Faced with this situation, the best way is of course to run along.

In the blink of an eye, 30,000 people turned around and fled together.

"Da Sima, although the left wing has been defeated, our army still has 40,000 troops untouched. Maybe it can be saved?"

Xiangfuji's trembling voice rang in his ears.

Tian Chong didn't answer.

Veins bulged on his fair forehead and his eyes were a little red.

The left wing of the Qi army was completely destroyed.

Tian Chong stood high and could see that half of the 20,000 Qin troops who were attacking were divided to chase and kill the fleeing Qi soldiers in order to expand the victory and create chaos.

The remaining 10,000 Qin troops broke through the left wing of the Qi army, joined forces with the original right wing of the Qin army, and went north to attack Qi's middle army.

The Qi army was already at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield.

Now that the left wing has collapsed and the center is under attack, it is bound to be defeated.

One road collapses, all three roads collapse.

What if Tian Chong still has 40,000 soldiers who can be mobilized?

Those 40,000 people had also not received much training. At this time, seeing the rout in front, they were probably frightened. They were sent to the battlefield, but it was just 40,000 more rout soldiers.

"My martial arts warriors, my elite."

Tian Chong looked north.

The 1,000 martial arts warriors and 10,000 elite Qi troops he had placed all his hopes on had been defeated by the 20,000 black-armored Qin troops on the opposite side. They also began to collapse, and a large number of Qi troops retreated and fled.

"I am defeated."

Tian Chong's body trembled and he murmured: "In an upright duel, I was defeated by Zhao Tuo."

"My army of 150,000, woo woo woo..."
