After receiving Le Yi's order, Le Cheng was shocked and realized that he had made a stupid mistake. He stopped entangled with the enemy and led the Youyun Iron Cavalry towards the Qin Army's commander's flag.
In fact, Lecheng does not lack wisdom and would not make such stupid mistakes under normal circumstances. However, because of Leyi's presence, Lecheng subconsciously believes in Leyi and feels that he only needs to obey Leyi's orders and nothing else. Don't worry about it, so your IQ starts to plummet...
When people rely on others, they easily lose their brains.
When Huan Ye saw this, he immediately became anxious and jumped out to attract Le Cheng's attention. Le Cheng didn't even look at Huan Ye and rushed forward.
With his talent stimulated to the extreme, the aura of Youyun Iron Cavalry became deeper, and every move contained violent power. With a sweep of the horse's hooves, the enemy was crushed under the horse's hooves and turned into a pool of blood and mud.
The rest of the Qin army subconsciously ducked to the side, and at the same time wanted to harass and attract Zhao Jun's attention. Youyun Cavalry did not even look at it, and closely followed Le Cheng and continued to kill Qin Jun's commander flag.
Huanjie was anxiously turning around. At this time, two quarters of an hour had passed since Wang Luan's time. However, the Qin army was not safe. The remnants of the armies had just withdrawn and slowly retreated under Wang Luo's organization. Once Le Cheng was allowed to lead the cavalry, Rushing in, at least half of the remaining Qin army will be lost on the battlefield.
But now Le Cheng is not fooled at all. Unless the Longxi cavalry sacrifices their lives, there is no way to stop Le Cheng.
"Nevermind!" Huan Yan's heart changed and he decided to believe Wang Lu. Since he said two-quarters of an hour, it would be two-quarters of an hour and Wang Lu would handle the rest.
The elite cavalry that Qin had finally trained with great difficulty must not be lost here.
"kill!"
On the other side, Zhao Feiqi came over from the flank. A dense rain of arrows attacked the Qin army like locusts. One of the thumb-thick arrows accurately hit the Qin army's commander's flag. There was only a "click" sound. Shuai Qi, who was in trouble, could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"The general is mighty!" Zhao Feiqi shouted.
"Follow me and kill!" Yan Ju happily retracted his long bow and led Zhao Feiqi to charge towards the direction where Shuai Qi fell.
"Wang Lu is dead. Surrender without killing him!" Le Yi stood in the distance and saw the Qin army's commander's flag broken. He made a decision and shouted loudly.
"Wang Lu is dead, surrender without killing!"
"Wang Lu is dead, surrender without killing!"
The Qin army was still resisting desperately. At this time, Zhao Jun's shouts suddenly came from the battlefield, and the Qin army turned back and looked in the direction of the commander's flag.
Where is the handsome flag?
Qin Jun's expression changed instantly, his momentum suddenly dropped to freezing point, and his casualties increased instantly.
The battlefield was in chaos, and no one knew where the commander was. The only sign was the commander's flag. Now that the commander's flag was broken, the Qin army didn't even know whether Wang Lu was dead or alive.
Everyone knew that it was unlikely that Wang Hao would be killed by Zhao Jun, but now the commander-in-chief had fallen. If the general was not dead, how could the commander-in-chief fell?
No one can stand up and prove that Wang Hao is not dead, not even Wang Hao himself.
For a time, fear and panic quickly spread among the Qin army.
Even the general is dead. Even if we return alive, we will be punished or even beheaded. In this case, what is the point of resisting? It is better to surrender, at least we can survive.
"Surrender, we surrender."
"We surrender, don't kill us."
The Qin army's faith collapsed with the fall of the handsome flag. The brave warriors knelt on the ground, offered their weapons, and allowed Zhao Jun to tie them up.
The fall of Shuai Qi became the last straw for the Qin army.
Wang Hao shouted desperately, trying to prevent the Qin army from surrendering, but the battlefield was too chaotic and filled with noisy sounds. Even if he summoned his strength, he could only maintain the thousands of Qin troops around him.
Seeing more and more Zhao troops chasing after him, Wang Hao sighed and could only flee southward as hard as he could.
"Hahaha, Wang Hao, I finally caught you." Yan Ju led Zhao Feiqi to catch up. Seeing Wang Hao's miserable state, Yan Ju was very happy and raised his hand to shoot an arrow.
Wang Hao raised his gun and flew the arrow away. He glanced at Yan Ju coldly and rushed forward with his car without quarreling with Yan Ju.
With the speed of Zhao Feiqi, the Qin army couldn't get away at all. In this case, it was better to rush forward. As long as he rushed over, the Qin army's camp was not far away. With the camp as a support, he could still resist the Zhao army for a while.
Boom!
At this moment, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and then, a heavy downpour fell with great violence, and the eyes were instantly blocked by the rain curtain.
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, watching the heavy raindrops falling, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out from his throat. If the rain had fallen a few hours earlier, how could the Qin army have been defeated so miserably.
Le Yi stood in the rain, letting the raindrops hit him and soaked his clothes. His face was ashen, and he held Che Shi tightly with both hands. His joints were white and his whole body was shaking slightly.
If the heavy rain had fallen a few hours later, he would have left all the tens of thousands of Qin troops here.
"General, we tried our best. But manpower is really unable to compete with the destiny of heaven." Xunzi said weakly. Next to him, Li Si was also a little depressed. He raised his hand and said nothing.
Under normal circumstances, their master-disciple team-up is enough to drive Yunduo to other places.
But it had not rained in Sanchuan for a whole month before, and the three of them squeezed in and squeezed out only a little bit of rain.
Prolonged drought will lead to floods, and with the arrival of the rainy season, there are a lot of clouds and rain accumulated this time, and the sky is covered with thick clouds for hundreds of miles.
Even if Xunzi and his disciple Li Si were exhausted, they could not move the clouds covering hundreds of miles.
Originally, it was going to rain an hour ago, and they tried their best to push the clouds over the battlefield to other places. However, as time went by, their mental strength gradually wore away, and the clouds became thicker and thicker. The master and apprentice were really worried. Can't hold on any longer.
As for Gongsun Long, this guy's mission was to plot against Wang Lu. In order to maintain his strength, he plotted against Lu Buwei and never made a move.
"It's God's will. Fortunately, the Qin army has almost lost all its losses in this battle. After the weather clears, it will take a few days to cross Jishui." Le Yi sighed deeply. It rained heavily and the road was muddy. The cavalry pursuit was blocked. Serious impact.
On the other hand, the Qin army was mainly infantry. Although it would also be affected by heavy rain, the extent was far less than that of the Zhao army.
In addition, the Qin army was running for their lives and would run desperately no matter whether it rained or not.
However, the Zhao army is only for meritorious service. The soldiers who have already received meritorious service will have less confidence in pursuing. Although the soldiers who have not received meritorious service still want to pursue for the sake of meritorious service, the strength of these soldiers themselves is relatively low.
The Qin army, which was in a desperate situation, got a chance to escape.
"General, it's raining at the right time. Run away." Lu Buwei said excitedly.
Although the rain did not fall at the right time, allowing the Qin army to turn defeat into victory, it actually fell at the right time, giving the Qin army a precious opportunity to escape.
"Kill!" Yan Ju did not hesitate, riding his horse in the heavy rain to kill Wang Hao.
when!
The spears and knives collided fiercely. Just when Yan Ju was about to swing his sword again, Wang Hao dodged, passed Yan Ju, and fled southward without looking back.
Just as Yan Ju was about to pursue him, the dense Qin army in front of him rushed forward. Yan Ju had no choice but to raise his sword to fight.
"Stop chasing. Ming Jin withdraws his troops, collects the defeated troops, and returns to the camp." Le Yi waved his hand and ordered after receiving the news that the remnants of the Qin army fled back to the camp.
If it didn't rain, if the rain was not heavy, he would definitely order to pursue the victory and completely wipe out the Qin army's camp.
Now... alas!
After receiving the order, the Zhao army began to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded soldiers. After the medical staff treated the wounded soldiers of the Zhao army, they then treated the wounded soldiers of the Qin army.
For the State of Zhao, these are excellent labor forces that must not be lost in vain. The medical expenses are not much anyway, and although alcohol is more expensive, after these captives return to Zhao State, as long as they cultivate two acres of land, they can make enough food for a year to make wine. The wine is more than that.
The prisoners of the Qin army were also brought back to the camp. Le Yi broke them up and reorganized them. One of them escaped and all of them were still sitting together. Then let them supervise each other, any one
If someone escapes, the person who reports the crime will be rewarded.
The prisoners who were originally united were suddenly filled with suspicion, their eyes full of suspicion, and they looked at their companions around them warily.
The Zhao army guarded tens of thousands of Qin prisoners with only a small manpower.
"Shang Yang's method is really a conspiracy through the ages. You clearly know what's going on, but you can't crack it. You can only enter his trap obediently and help him keep an eye on others. At the same time, you must prevent others from plotting against you. No one can Dare to trust."
Li Si sighed, admiring Shang Yang more and more. The person who could come up with this method is definitely a talent, and his grasp of human nature is extremely accurate.
"It's just too poisonous. It's okay to use it on prisoners. If you use it on the countrymen, although it can prevent the loss of countrymen, it will also cause everyone to be in danger, and there will be no humanity between neighbors." Gongsun Long didn't like Shang Yang's tactics very much. In other words, not many people in the world like her.
In addition to prisoners, the Zhao army also captured many war horses, but they were basically rhinoceros horses used to pull carts. Zhao Guo has no shortage of war horses now, so he doesn't take it seriously.
In the Qin Army's camp, Wang Hao was sitting on his knees in front of the case, his hands deeply inserted into his hair.
"General, the statistics are out. Our army has escaped...4,512 people." Lu Buwei's voice was trembling.
Of the 70,000 Qin troops stationed at Xingyang, 10,000 were lost to Lecheng's hands. Thousands were lost. Another 5,000 were stationed at the main camp, leaving more than 40,000. After this battle, only more than 4,000 escaped.
When Wang Hao heard this, he secretly exerted force with his hands and clenched his teeth. In the end, if Zhao Feiqi hadn't blocked the Qin army's path, the Qin army could have escaped with at least 10,000 troops instead of just over 4,000, including 3,000 Longxi cavalry.
Zhao Feiqi was so ruthless that he fought all the way to the military camp. Zhao Jun withdrew his troops after calling for gold.
"Report the battle report to Lord Wu'an...and let him...withdraw his troops!" Wang Lu sighed. It was impossible to hold Jishui and Xingyang no matter what. He could only try his best to delay and give Bai Qi time to retreat. ap.
"Where is the king?" Lu Buwei said.
"I'll tell you where your Majesty is." Wang Hao said in a deep voice.
Even if he loses, he will not be beheaded by King Qin. At worst, he will be deprived of his title and have to start all over again.
"What I mean is...the king may not agree to withdraw the troops..." Lu Buwei said.
Qin State paid a huge price for this eastward march. Even if Zhao State participated, Qin Wangji did not order the withdrawal of troops. Instead, he tried to find a way to unite Yan State, Qi State, and Chu State to break the situation.
Based on Lu Buwei's understanding of King Qin, if the three kingdoms of Yan, Qi, and Chu agreed to form an alliance with Qin, even if they learned of the defeat, King Qin would not be able to order the withdrawal of the troops. Instead, he would take advantage of this opportunity to use all his chips to defeat the three Jins. .
For Qin State, the only enemy is the Three Jin Dynasties headed by Zhao State. As long as Zhao State can be defeated, it will be worth paying no matter how high the price is.
The heavy rain continued for three days, and water accumulated everywhere. Even the water level of the Yellow River rose a lot. Fortunately, the location where Zhao Jun camped was on a higher ground. Le Yi ordered people to dig several ditches to divert the water into the nearby areas. The water canal then merged into the Yellow River, so it was not flooded.
At noon on the fourth day, the sky finally began to clear up. Le Yi tied the battle report he had written long ago to the war eagle's leg, then let go of the war eagle. The war eagle spread its wings and flew towards Handan.
Falcon taming is a skill of the Xiongnu and Ding Ling. After Zhao defeated the Xiongnu, he captured several falcon tamers and acquired this skill.
However, taming falcons is very difficult. Over the years, we have not trained many falcons that can transmit information, and quite a few have failed.
That night, the war eagle flew back.
Le Yi caught War Eagle, took out the letter from his lap, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed.
"What happened?" Xunzi asked quickly.
"Read it yourself." Le Yi shook his head with a wry smile and handed the letter to Xunzi.
Xunzi looked a little dumbfounded and said in admiration, "Your Majesty is really... a wild goose... no, he has a heart of benevolence."
"What did the king say?" Gongsun Long couldn't bear it when he saw the two of them playing riddles all the time.
"The king said that Sanchuan has been dry for a long time and floods have occurred again. Zhuang
I'm afraid there won't be much harvest, and most of the food and grass saved by the people have been robbed by the Qin army. If Zhao Guo lets it go, Sanchuan doesn't know how many people will die. The king asked us to bring out military rations and medicinal materials, treat the nearby people, and arrange for ships to send them to Zhao. Zhao Guoguo will give him proper arrangements. Xunzi said.
"A man does not only kiss his relatives, nor does he only bear his sons. As the king of Zhao, your Majesty can care for the people of Han and Wei as much as he cares for the people of Zhao. Isn't this the realm that Confucius said, 'When someone leaves a bow, someone else gets it? Why bother? Chu Ye? He is truly the benevolent king in the world." Li Si shouted.
Xunzi glanced at Li Si and opened his mouth, but in the end he still did not educate his disciples.
Regardless of deeds, heart does not matter. No matter what Zhao Kuo's purpose was, whether it was true benevolence, compassion, or because he was interested in the productivity of these people and wanted to take advantage of or even exploit them. As long as these people are truly treated and lend a helping hand when they are in danger, it is benevolent and kind to the people.
Moreover, when these people arrive in Zhao State, they will definitely live better than in South Korea and Wei State. They will not have to suffer the disasters of war because they are sandwiched between other countries.
No matter from the perspective of Zhao State or the perspective of the people, there is no problem in this matter.
"Yes, in the past, the Qin State captured the east of Hedong and expelled all the Wei people in Anyi. Today, the king supports Han and Wei, treats Han and Wei like the people of Zhao, and gives shelter to the people of Han and Wei. What is a benevolent king? This is the benevolent king in the world." Gongsun Long was excited. said.
Various schools of thought have different requirements for the king, but no matter which family or sect, benevolence is one of the necessary requirements.
