In fact, the Chu army, which had been divided by the Qin army, could hardly complete its assembly, let alone continue to charge.
Looking at the chaotic battle line, the general sighed deeply in his heart, then organized his own soldiers and rushed towards the north gate.
After all, they are the soldiers beside the general, and their combat power is much stronger than that of the general Qin army. Although there are only about 500 people, they forcefully tore a hole in the Qin army's blocking team. The general was quickly delivered to the city gate.
Because of the fierce fighting of the soldiers, thousands of Chu troops also followed the general's footsteps and rushed outside the city gate.
However, looking up, not far to the north, there were dots of stars, and the Qin Army's pursuit troops were already within reach.
Without any time to think, the general immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away towards the east of the city.
Yes, Chengdong. The general's intention is very clear, which is to pass through South Korea's land. In the past, the target of 20,000 troops was too big, and it was easy to be discovered and ambushed when traveling to South Korea. Now that there are only a thousand people left, there is less concern in this regard.
As for the Chu army still struggling in the city, the general obviously no longer cares so much.
A whip struck the horse's ass hard, like a sharp arrow. In the blink of an eye, the general and his soldiers were plunged into darkness.
With the general leaving alone, there was no suspense about the rest of the battle.
The pursuing army of Qin quickly arrived outside the city and reoccupied the tower almost effortlessly.
Immediately afterwards, a rapid golden sound sounded.
The Qin army, which was still engaged in a fierce battle in the city, understood instantly and immediately gathered its troops and moved closer to the south tower.
Before the surrounded Chu army could be happy about the Qin army's retreat, they found that their retreat had been blocked by countless Qin armies.
The Chu army soon realized that the Qin army's retreat was just to reduce losses.
Thinking of this, the Chu army immediately rushed forward to entangle with the Qin army. Perhaps only in this way could they have a chance of survival, or at least drag more Qin troops to be buried with them.
It's a pity that the Qin army that has formed a queue will not give the Chu army any chance to counterattack.
After a rapid rain of arrows, the Chu army who tried to counterattack left only corpses on the ground and fled back to the formation helplessly.
As the rain of arrows washed away the ground, the tinkling golden sound gradually dissipated, replaced by bursts of drums and whimpering horns.
That was the order for the Qin army to launch a general offensive.
Without the slightest hesitation, except for the Qin army that had just retreated and held its position, the Qin troops on the other three sides immediately heard the order and advanced.
With shield bearers in front, spears behind, bows and crossbows firing in unison, a full 20,000 Qin army elite marched to the beat of drums to encircle and suppress the Chu army in the city.
Seeing the Qin army besieged from three sides, the leaderless Chu army fell into despair.
However, even so, the Chu army still did not put down their weapons.
The enemy on the opposite side is the Qin army. In Danyang, in Lantian, in Yanying, in too many places, there are too many bones telling the Chu army that they must not put down their weapons in the face of the Qin army - the Qin army will not accept prisoners, put down their weapons, and follow Suicide makes no difference.
Think about King Huai who was deceived to death, think about Yandu which was flooded, and so many of his comrades who died tragically at the hands of the Qin army.
The soldiers of the Chu State mustered up their last courage and launched a desperate charge against the Qin army in front of them, led by the captain, Qu Chang, Shi Chang and even the corps commander.
No matter how strong the Qin army's long shield is, it can always break up his shield array;
No matter how sharp the Qin army's spears were, they could still rush in front of him.
If one doesn't work, just two, if one doesn't work, just one!
At the last moment of his life, the Chu army exploded with combat power far superior to that before.
If the general of Chu State is still there, perhaps even at this time, the Chu army may still be able to escape.
Unfortunately, the moment before the Qin army encircled, the general of Chu had already left the team with his close soldiers.
The dying blows of the Chu soldiers were like the last dance of leaves that had been turned into mud and crushed into dust in the autumn wind.
Even though it's colorful and impassioned, it can't hide its tragic ending.
But, so what?
History is never the biography of one or two figures, but the story of thousands of unknown heroes.
The Danqing Association will remember the scenes in which every unknown hero shed his life and blood for his family and motherland;
The green mountains will close up, and the restless souls of every unknown hero who failed to return to his hometown;
There is also the surging river, flowing and playing, which is the requiem of the hero.
The blood of heroes will not be shed in vain. The bright red blood seeps into the yellow soil, and the food that grows also carries the atmosphere of heroes. The tenacity and unyielding quality have already left a deep mark on this land with each sword. deep marks.
Although it spans thousands of years, it is incorruptible, indestructible and unchanged.
"Clang", that was the collision between Chu Dao and Qin Jian, and the scattered sparks illuminated their faces.
The same youth, the same perseverance, the same...
"Kill", roars shouted from the depths of each other's souls, traveling through thousands of years, echoing in this small town in the Central Plains for a long time.
"Whoosh whoosh..." Countless arrows streaked through the air, and rows of Chu soldiers fell down.
In the end, the Chu army was defeated!
The defeat was complete and the defeat was glorious.
Not one of the more than 20,000 Chu troops put down their weapons, and all of them persisted until the last moment of their lives. And they also cost the besieging Qin army thousands of lives.
However, the Chu army was still defeated!
More than 20,000 people were almost wiped out in this small town in the Central Plains.
Compared with the main force of the Chu army, which was subjected to successive calculations and was nearly wiped out in the end, the Wei army was obviously in a much stronger state at this time.
Because Lord Xinling's decisive warrior broke his wrist, the main force of more than 70,000 Wei troops followed Lord Xinling and ran out.
It's a pity that Lord Xinling's slightly rejoicing mood suddenly sank to the bottom with the reward from the scouts ahead.
"A large number of Qin troops have appeared in Gong City ahead. The number may not be less than ten thousand." The scout obviously knew what this news meant to the Wei army at this time. After reporting the news, he folded his hands and waited for Lord Xinling's order. He didn't dare to look up at Lord Xinling.
Lord Xinling almost fell off his horse when he heard the bad news.
At this time, he was extremely regretful that he had not occupied this city that was blocking his way home earlier.
Of course, Lord Xinling also knew that the frontline troops had no advantage over the Qin army. How could they dare to divide their troops to occupy an unimportant city? Read the book
After all, he did not dare to send troops, and the Qin army did not dare to divide his troops!
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, the Qin army would actually divide its troops and come.
However, it is not too surprising. After all, if the Qin army had made up its mind to attack the Wei army from the beginning, it would not be inconceivable to arrange a force in Gongcheng in advance.
However, now the 10,000 troops in Gong City are really dying.
Attack, it is impossible to attack in a short time. The Qin army behind him is less than three miles away from him.
Once Gongcheng cannot be captured, or is not captured in time, the rear army will be overtaken by the Qin army. I am afraid that I and the tens of thousands of Wei troops will be completely annihilated by the Qin army's superior strength.
But if you don't attack, you have to climb mountains and bypass Gongcheng in the mountains and forests. Not to mention that this steep mountain is not suitable for the march of large troops. Even if you open a road through the mountains by yourself, such a march will inevitably be slowed down. The Qin army All he had to do was pass through Gongcheng and wait for him at the mountain pass. More than 70,000 people would still be unable to escape the nightmare of being completely annihilated.
Why don't you just come out?
Supplementing food will force you to get out as soon as possible
Mountain forest.
what to do?
Lord Xinling asked himself eagerly, as if no matter what choice he made, it would be a dead end.
Break your wrist again? Leave a force of 10,000 to 20,000 people at the mountain passes along the way to block the Qin army and lead the main army to continue advancing?
Not to mention that there is no one around him who can lead the troops to fight such a lifeless battle.
Even if there were, how long could 10,000 or 20,000 people hold back the Qin army?
No matter how long it takes, it will definitely not be enough time for him to break through Gongcheng, which is garrisoned by thousands of people, and it will not be enough time for him to lead his troops through the mountains and forests.
It seemed that in an instant, all the roads in front of the Wei army were blocked by the Qin army.
"The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine. If one of them escapes, it is a variable."
In the dark, a voice suddenly sounded in Lord Xinling's ears, and the hexagrams of Zhouyi immediately appeared in front of his eyes. Heaven's calculations may even change, but how can man's calculations change?
Although the Qin army is strong, and no matter how sophisticated its tactics, I still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and they are far from exhausted.
Lord Xinling, who seemed to have gained something, finally calmed down, and then he suddenly looked up and saw that in the night sky above his head, the moon and stars were sparse, and only the Big Dipper was shining brightly!
north!
Lord Xinling's heart moved, and then he felt a burst of ecstasy: Yes, the north!
Since going east is no longer available, and going south is the territory of the traitorous South Korea, why not go north! That's Zhao's territory!
Although they took a detour, they would definitely not be able to keep up with the food and fodder, and there was no way that their tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would even be swallowed up by the Zhao army. But even if the troops and horses are given to Zhao, it is still better than being surrounded and annihilated by the Qin army.
What's more, since I came here to be an ally of the Zhao State, the Zhao State may not necessarily make things difficult for me.
At most, they want some benefits, exchanging soldiers and horses with Zhao for food and fodder support. Considering that even if the coalition is defeated, the Qin army may not give up. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of its own are exactly what the Zhao army lacks the most. In this way, you might be able to bargain a bit! He can also bring tens of thousands more troops back to Wei.
Thinking about this, Lord Xinling felt that it was feasible.
Immediately, without any hesitation, he issued an order to the army: "The entire army gave up the advance towards Gongcheng, turned north, crossed the Jishui River, and went up the Bishui River."
"Let's go to the Kingdom of Zhao!" Lord Xinling pinched the horse's belly hard and shouted.
