The reason why Du Chong agreed to surrender to the Qin army so easily this time was, of course, because he was not a man of integrity himself, or in other words, integrity had nothing to do with him.
On the other hand, it still mattered that he suffered such a big defeat. Moreover, this time, Du Chong not only suffered a major defeat, but several of Liu Bang's generals died in the battle.
As a result, Du Chong would no longer see hope for the future if he continued to work under Liu Bang. This time, even if he can survive by chance, he will probably have to sit on the bench in the future.
What's more, compared to the Qin army, Du Chong has become less optimistic about the Yan army. Therefore, it is actually not surprising that Du Chong agreed to surrender so easily in the end.
The Yan army had already suffered a lot in a previous defeat, and now it had lost the advantage of the city wall because of Du Chong. But now, the advantage of the Qin army's fierce generals has been brought into play. Bai Xiang, Jin Peng, and Gongsun Shu are unstoppable.
Lang Ling, Bian Zhuangzi, Ying Kaoshu, and Wei Yan are four peerless masters. Even these four people are not weak among peerless masters.
Although the four of them killed Sheng Yanshi, Ding Tianqing, Yuan Tianhu and other generals at the beginning, the four of them then joined forces to confront Jin Peng. However, even if the four of them joined forces, they could not do anything to Jin Peng. Jin Peng pinned down four of them and beat them.
Jinpeng only has the skill effect that can reflect negative skill effects when fighting alone, but there is no skill effect that can reflect negative skill effects during group battles.
However, when Jinpeng fights in a group, although there is no rebound effect, it does have a copying effect. It can copy the enemy's negative skill effects to suppress the opponent. Moreover, when the Golden Roc is one-to-many, it can also copy the enemy's negative skill effects twice.
Although the reflected skill effects cannot be immune, the copied effects can. However, how could Lang Ling, Bian Zhuangzi, Ying Kaoshu, and Wei Jian have the skills to be immune to the enemy's negative skill effects?
It is also a negative skill effect, but when Lang Ling, Bian Zhuangzi, Ying Kaoshu, and Wei Jian use Jinpeng, they may only be able to suppress others by a little or two points, but when Jinpeng suppresses them, it can be doubled. to suppress.
For example, with the same negative suppression of 1 to 4 points, Lang Ling, Bian Zhuangzi, Ying Kaoshu, and Wei Jian may only be able to produce one or two points of force suppression against Jin Peng, whose basic force is 108.
But under the huge strength gap between the two sides, when Jinpeng copied this negative skill effect, it could suppress them by three or even four points of negative skill effect.
It is precisely because of this that the effects of this type of skills and the effects of rebound skills have their own advantages. Which skill is more effective depends on the actual combat situation.
The copied enemy's negative skill effects, coupled with the negative skill effects of Jinpeng itself, make it so that even Jinpeng does not have any Wanfa skill effects or alternative Wanfa skill effects during group battles. It was one against four, but Jin Peng was very relaxed.
There were only a few masters among the Yan army in Zhuo County, but Jin Peng alone blocked four of them. It should not be said that he was blocking, after all, it was one against four, but it was Jin Peng who had the upper hand.
Except for Lang Ding, Bian Zhuangzi, Ying Kaoshu, and Wei Jian, there was only one Gao Gu left in the Yan army who had reached the peerless level in Zhuo County, but Gao Gu was killed by a flying rock stunt. After capturing General Dang Shijie, he was already being targeted by Gongsun Shu.
And with Gao Gu's strength, he had already retreated steadily when facing Gongsun Shu.
The Yan army had all the experts, but they could only block Jin Peng and Gongsun Shu for a short time. If time went by, they might still be on the losing side.
However, there is still an unstoppable white elephant among the Qin army. Therefore, when the opponent was no longer able to send out masters to contain them, Bai Xiang killed eight generals including Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Liu Fang, and Xu Huaqing, and captured alive the general who was originally a civilian but stepped in to command the soldiers in the critical moment. Zuo Zongtang and Zhang Zhidong.
During this process, Bai Xiang led his army to continuously tear through the defense lines set up by Ju Xin, beating the Yan army back steadily. In this battle, the white elephant killed more than 300 Yan army soldiers, completely destroying the morale of the Yan army soldiers.
After that, although the soldiers behind Bai Xiang were essentially a group of bandits with low combat effectiveness and even worse discipline, due to the leadership of a fierce general like Bai Xiang, their momentum was actually better than that of the Yan Army as a regular army. Even more powerful, they pounced like wolves and tigers towards the Yan soldiers who had been frightened out of their courage.
Seeing that the situation was deteriorating step by step, the soldiers were retreating steadily, and their fighting spirit was greatly reduced. In desperation, Ju Xin could only accept Qi Ji's suggestion and withdraw his troops temporarily to preserve as much strength as possible.
However, during the retreat, although Qijie successfully led his troops to break out, Ju Xin was blocked by Gongsun Shu who came with his troops. In the end, he was killed by Gongsun Shu in the chaos of the battle. After falling off the horse, he was captured alive.
It turned out that Gongsun Shu was indeed dealing with Gao Gu. But when Ju Xin gave the order to retreat, Gao Gu himself knew very well that he could not continue to fight like this.
Gao Gu was never Gongsun Shu's opponent. If he didn't retreat at this time, once his own soldiers were almost at the retreat point, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
Therefore, Gao Gu bravely took Gongsun Shu's knife and got rid of Gongsun Shu's entanglement at the cost of serious injury.
After that, Gongsun Shu did not choose to pursue Gao Gu.
First, at the very beginning, Gongsun Shu also made a tentative pursuit. However, when the two sides distanced themselves, Gao Gu showed off his stone-throwing skills to Gongsun Shu, which also made Gongsun Shu realize that Gao Gu was not so easy to deal with him.
Secondly, during the initial pursuit of Gao Gu, Gongsun Shu learned the direction of Ju Xin's escape from one of his men. Although Gao Gu is extremely powerful and has reached a peerless level, his value cannot be compared to Ju Xin as the main general.
Therefore, in the end, Gongsun Shu decisively let Gao Gu go for the time being, and instead turned to pursue Ju Xin, and successfully captured Ju Xin alive.
