Bai Yan stood on the valley and looked at the sea of people in the canyon in the distance, which was like a black tide. Under the shooting of the soldiers on both sides of the valley road, more and more black figures were unable to move.
The snow in the valley is constantly melting, but under this melting, it is like a spreading light red stream in the ice and snow.
"General! The Chu army can't escape!"
Zhang Min came to Bai Yan's side and looked at the densely packed Chu army under the valley. All of them were besieged by the Qin army in the canyon. He could clearly see the Chu soldiers and generals among the Chu generals who were constantly covering them. , a familiar figure.
No one can understand Zhang Min's feelings at this moment, let alone experience the trembling feeling in his heart.
Changwenjun! ! !
Zhang Min would never forget this colleague who had been with him for more than 20 years.
After being defeated and captured by the Chu people in the past, Zhang Min was not afraid of death. The only thing he prayed for was to be able to look at Lord Changping and Lord Changwen again before he died. Even after seeing him for more than twenty years, Zhang Min was still afraid. After death and entering the underworld, the appearance of these two people will be forgotten.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Min did not see these two people, and was later rescued by Bai Yan. The sky has eyes. Now, Zhang Min could finally see the old friend who had been remembered in his bones for these days.
"General, I am willing to capture Lord Changwen personally!"
Zhang Min turned his head and looked at Bai Yan's young profile next to him. At this time, Zhang Min's eyes could not conceal his gratitude.
Having been rescued by Bai Yan, Zhang Min originally thought that the Qin army led by Bai Yan would not be able to escape because of his defeat with Li Xin and was besieged in the east of Chu. That day Zhang Min asked to stay. Next, apart from not wanting to go back to Qin and be humiliated, he also had the reason to be grateful to Bai Yan and wanted to kill a few more Chu soldiers for revenge.
Then, Zhang Min never expected that Bai Yanxian led the Qin army composed of Wei people to resist the attack of more than 200,000 troops led by Xiang Yan in Suiyang City, and then suddenly led the Chu army led by Xiang Yan to attack for a long time. When he had no choice but to abandon the defense of Suiyang City, Bai Yan suddenly ordered the defenders of Zhongwu City, including the border cavalry and iron cavalry, as well as the armies from Pengcheng, Picheng and other places, to come here.
Looking at the valley in the distance, seeing so many Chu troops besieged in the valley by Bai Yan's troops, and his enemy Chang Wenjun among them, Zhang Min was very happy. If he had not chosen to stay before, he would have How could I see this scene with my own eyes.
"Changwenjun was a traitorous general of the Qin State. Two hundred thousand Qin soldiers died in the battle. Countless soldiers hated him to the core. Not to mention there were other generals. General Zhang wanted to capture Changwenjun. With General Zhang's injury, he might not be able to capture the generals. !」
Bai Yan glanced at Zhang Min and showed a slight smile, then turned his head and continued to look at the Chu army in the canyon in the distance.
At this time, the people responsible for preventing the Chu army from escaping towards Zhongwu City were the Qin troops stationed in Zhongwu City, led by Jiu. Compared with other generals and Qin soldiers in other places, the generals and generals in Zhongwu City were far better than any other generals. Everyone is afraid that Chang Wenjun and Jing Qi will escape, so they will fight harder than anyone else to keep Chang Wen Jun and Jing Qi behind.
Bai Yan looked at the place to the east of the canyon. The generals and generals who used to be under his command all led the Qin army and fought hard to kill the Chu army. Whenever he found that Jingqi and Changping Junyue were escaping to the ancient road to the west, those generals, The general became more anxious, so he worked harder to kill the Chu soldiers. Standing on the valley, you can clearly see that compared with the valley road to the west, the Qin soldiers continued to fight with their lives to resist the retreat of the Chu soldiers. Here to the east, All the soldiers of the Qin army were red-eyed. Looking down from a high place, it looked like the Qin army was constantly devouring the soldiers of the Chu army. Along the way, there were corpses of Chu soldiers everywhere, and their blood was mixed with melted blood. The killings of the Qin soldiers continued to spread, and the more people died, the more blood flowed and the darker the color.
Listening to the roaring and killing sounds coming from everywhere in the canyon, Bai Yan quietly waited for the destruction of this Chu army.
"General!"
A soldier from the scout camp hurriedly came to Bai Yan and handed a bamboo slip to Bai Yan.
Seeing this, Bai Yan picked up the bamboo slips and opened them to read.
The news was sent by his uncle. When Bai Yan saw that his uncle had successfully used the Chu army to surrender according to the plan,
The soldiers' family members succeeded in inciting the anger of the young master Xiong Qi, and in the name of the young master Xiong Qi, they robbed the parents, wives and children of the soldiers who had been surrendered by the Chu army, as well as their food and grain, and put all the family members in jails. .
"The last step is just to let the surrendered soldiers see and know the news for themselves!"
Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips.
In the past, more than 30,000 Chu troops surrendered, and they saw themselves being abandoned by the generals and generals of the Chu troops in the past. This move is called heart-breaking!
But after punishing the heart, if you want to make those Chu soldiers surrender and kill people, you still need a sharp sword.
After experiencing abandonment, the only care for the soldiers of the Chu army was their parents, wives and children in their hometown. This is a sharp sword, and one is enough for the soldiers of the Chu army to pick it up with their own hands and slash at them. The sharp sword of Chu people and Chu army.
"Xiang Yan, this sword picked up by the Chu people is far sharper than the Qin sword that slashed at the Chu army!"
Bai Yan looked at the Chu army in the canyon.
Three hours later.
With the killing, more and more soldiers of the Chu army were defeated. Not only were they retreating forward, but they were also facing the fierce defense of the Qin army. On both sides of the valley, tens of thousands of soldiers on the cavalry and side cavalry were still firing arrows to kill them. .
In this case, almost all the arrows of the Qin army were consumed. Even if the Chu army had more than 70,000 people, no matter how many people there were, they could not withstand such losses.
Xiang Yan defeated the Qin army's 200,000 soldiers in a very short period of time at Chengfu. Although he had countless catapults prepared, which Bai Yan did not have, Bai Yan could also take advantage of the terrain. Huge boulders and even rolling snow broke down the defenses of the Chu soldiers.
"General, General Yang Yan, General Yanmao, and General Zan Shou all asked if they wanted to retain the surrendered soldiers!"
A cavalry soldier hurriedly came behind Bai Yan, raised his hands and asked.
Following the soldiers' words, both Zhang Min and the other generals beside Bai Yan all fell silent and then looked at Bai Yan.
As generals and generals, all of them knew how difficult this decision was, and Bai Yan's words at this time could determine the life or death of tens of thousands of Chu soldiers.
Looking at the valley road, countless Chu soldiers have obviously been defeated, and even many Chu soldiers on the edge have abandoned their sharp swords and long swords. It is indeed time for Bai Yan to make a decision.
To kill or not to kill?
Without killing, although the Chu army was defeated, there still seemed to be at least more than 30,000 people. What should be done with these 30,000 people?
With the defeat of Li Xin, they were surrounded by the Chu army in the east of Chu. In addition, with the onset of winter, the food and grass supplies of the Qin State had long been cut off. The Qin army in many cities had no food and grass supplies. If it were not for Bai Yan and Xun Shuo persuaded many local nobles that they were afraid that all the Qin army officers and soldiers were starving.
At this time, the more than 30,000 Chu troops surrendered, but there were more than 30,000 mouths to eat every day, and even if they were not handled well, there would even be accidents in the prisoner camp. This was more than 30,000 people.
And if these more than 30,000 Chu soldiers were to be killed, Bai Yan would have to give the order.
On the valley.
Bai Yan was wearing Qin army uniform and looking at the clearly defeated Chu army in the canyon in the distance.
The cold wind was blowing, and when he felt the wind blowing, despite the biting coldness, Bai Yan's hand holding the hilt of Zhanlu's sword tightened slightly.
"Kill, leave no one behind!"
Bai Yan finally said this in front of everyone.
The killing is unknown!
Bai Yan naturally knew that behind this sentence was the truth that countless people had proven with their lives, especially since Bai Yan once used his uncle's name to swear to Zou Xing that some things were really unexplainable.
However, at this time, looking at the Chu army of no less than 30,000 people in the valley, Bai Yan really had no choice but to make any other choice. Not to mention that these 30,000 Chu soldiers were elites under Jing Qi's command. They were just 30,000 civilians. Yan didn't have the ability to stay at this time.
Food is now the life of all Qin soldiers.
When the soldiers of the Qin army and the soldiers of the Chu army were fighting bloody battles, and when the soldiers were fighting with the Chu state, if Bai Yan wanted to use the few grains he had to feed the Chu people, the first people who would be heartbroken would be those who fought bloody battles. The Qin army officers and soldiers.
white
Yan also thought about sending them back to Chu or Qi, and also imagined whether he could persuade Qi to keep these 30,000 people as slaves in exchange for food.
But when Bai Yan thought about it, he knew that it was really fantastic. Not to mention that the nobles and ministers in Qi State would not agree. Even if they agreed, Bai Yan would not dare to surrender the 30,000 Chu troops to Qi State.
Qin and Qi made an alliance, but these surrendered soldiers were all from Chu! ! !
If the nobles and ministers of Qi State deliberately give these Chu soldiers weapons and then let them go, no one knows what the consequences will be!
"promise!"
When the soldiers heard Bai Yan's words, they quickly turned and left.
This scene fell into the eyes of the generals, generals, and even close soldiers who had been following Bai Yan. They all knew that Bai Yan made this decision with great determination in his heart.
Perhaps the Qin army can continue to receive food and grass from Qin, and Bai Yan will definitely leave these more than 30,000 Chu soldiers behind without hesitation.
"General, Xiang Yan killed 200,000 soldiers of our Qin army before! Now our Qin army can finally make Chu country pay for it with blood! How happy it is!!"
At this time, Zhang Min looked at the Chu army in the canyon and suddenly spoke loudly. After finishing speaking, he laughed wildly, looking happy after a great revenge was avenged.
When Bai Yan heard this, he looked at Zhang Min who was standing aside. Bai Yan couldn't tell that Zhang Min was trying to comfort him, telling him not to worry about it, and also giving him the best reason to kill all the Chu troops and surrender them.
"Zhang Min will never forget what Xiang Yan did in the past!"
Zhang Min turned to look at Bai Yan and spoke seriously, word for word.
In Zhang Min's heart, if Chu people hate him! Then you have to hate Xiang Yan!
Bai Yan had fought with the Chu army before, but did not kill the Chu army prisoners. There were no less than 30,000 Chu soldiers surrendered in the Hongcheng prisoner camp. Bai Yan had never treated him badly. The reason why he ordered the killing of the Chu army prisoners now was entirely for his own sake. The people of Qin took revenge on Xiang Yan.
It's enough that the people of Qin won't blame Bai Yan!
………………………
In the valley.
Under dusk.
Countless Chu soldiers held long swords, their faces covered with blood, and looked around in panic. The ground around almost every Chu soldier was covered with corpses, and countless soldiers and arrows fell on the ground.
"Soldiers! The Qin army will not let us go. We might as well fight to the death!"
Chang Wenjun was riding a war horse. His face was no longer as calm as when he arrived. Even his hair was messy. Both his hands and the sword in his hand were full of blood.
Looking at the increasing number of Qin soldiers around and the fewer and fewer Chu soldiers, Chang Wenjun vaguely saw that in the distance behind the Qin army, countless soldiers who had surrendered to the Qin army were all invisible to the Chu soldiers. Wherever they arrived, they were killed one by one by Qin soldiers.
Qin Jun has no intention of leaving anyone alive! !
Thinking of this, Chang Wenjun smiled bitterly and couldn't help but sigh, he is indeed a person with the surname Bai, and he has the demeanor of Bai Qi back then!
When Bai Qi had no food and grass, he ordered without hesitation to kill all the enemy soldiers.
Faced with Bai Yan's decisiveness, Chang Wenjun would naturally not sit still and wait for death. Even if he died, Chang Wenjun would not make the people of Qin feel better.
All around Chang Wenjun.
When all the Chu soldiers heard Chang Wenjun's words, they all held their Changge tightly with panic on their faces. Looking at the Qin soldiers who were all looking at them with eager eyes, their eyes changed from timid to crazy.
"kill!!!"
"kill!!"
As the Qin army approached, all the soldiers of the Chu army began to kill the Qin soldiers.
Changge and sharp swords were in the hands of the two soldiers, and they were slashing at each other again and again. In the chaotic battlefield, Qin soldiers or Chu soldiers fell to the ground from time to time, and then they were stabbed or killed by the opponent.
"kill!!!"
However, facing the siege of the Qin army, after a whole day of fighting, the Chu army had already been exhausted, and there were only a few Chu soldiers left. In the melee, they became isolated and helpless, unable to fight with their hands and four feet, no matter how brave they were. One by one, the Chu soldiers were chopped down and fell to the ground under the attack of many Qin soldiers, falling together with the countless corpses of Chu soldiers on the ground.
Chang Wenjun wielded his sword to kill a Qin soldier, and then
The Qin soldiers fell to the ground. Suddenly, a close aide next to Chang Wenjun was stabbed and killed by several Qin soldiers with long swords.
Chang Wenjun instinctively turned his head, and at this time, two Qin soldiers suddenly took the opportunity to point at the calf of the war horse under Chang Wenjun's crotch with their long swords, and pulled hard, causing Chang Wenjun to fall off the horse in an instant.
When Lord Changwen stood up, the last of the other Chu soldiers guarding him was killed by a Qin soldier.
Look around.
Countless corpses and densely packed Qin soldiers surrounded him, holding long guns and looking at him.
"Bai Yan!!!"
Chang Wenjun knew that he had no chance of leaving alive. Looking at the dense crowds of Qin soldiers in front and behind him, he shouted unwillingly and wanted to ask Bai Yan before he died, why did Bai Yan appear here?
However, what Chang Wenjun waited for was not Bai Yan, but bloody Qin generals walking out from among the countless Qin soldiers.
The faces of the generals of the Qin army were all covered with blood. However, when Lord Chang Wen saw those people, he looked horrified. Lord Chang Wen was different from Lord Chang Ping. Lord Chang Wen vaguely remembered that all of those generals were He is Cong's general.
They...should have rebelled! ! !
Why does it appear here?
However, before Chang Wenjun could clear up the doubts in his heart, or even before Chang Wenjun could speak, the Qin army generals saw the change in Chang Wenjun's eyes and roared with vicious expressions.
"Mr. Changwen rebelled against Qin and caused the tragic death of 200,000 Qin soldiers. I should be cut into pieces with a thousand swords! Kill!!!"
Accompanied by the roars of the Qin army generals, in an instant, countless Qin soldiers held long swords and rushed towards Lord Chang Wen.
If the soldiers were able to restrain themselves at first, it was because they didn't know whether the general was going to survive. But now that he heard the general's words, it undoubtedly made all the soldiers of the Qin army go crazy. In the Qin State, young generals who kill enemy soldiers can be knighted. .
And this person right now is Chang Wenjun who betrayed Qin and the king. His head is not comparable to that of ordinary people!
"No……"
Before Chang Wenjun had time to say a word, the next moment he was stabbed by countless long swords from all sides, piercing into his body instantly. However, Chang Wenjun still looked at the Qin army generals with eyes full of unwillingness. confused.
However, immediately, the blades of countless Qin soldiers struck one after another, and all the Qin soldiers were trying to snatch Chang Wenjun's head.
the other side.
Jing Qi, who was separated from Lord Chang Wen, ended up not much better. Although compared to Lord Chang Wen, the Chu soldiers were all Jing Qi's confidants. In the chaos, all the Chu soldiers had been protecting Jing Qi, but faced Facing countless Qin troops, the guards around Jing Qi kept dying and falling to the ground while resisting the Qin troops' attack. There were fewer and fewer Chu troops around him visible to the naked eye.
Jing Qi's eyes were full of despair at this moment. He looked at the countless Qin soldiers around him, and when he thought of General Xiang Yan, his heart was filled with reluctance and self-blame.
"Jing Qi, I am ashamed of the king! I am ashamed of the Chu country!!"
Jing Qi's eyes were red, and the scary face in the past was now full of worry.
Maybe he shouldn't have taken the risk, and ended up being surrounded here, allowing the 70,000 Chu army to be completely destroyed, and giving the Qin army an opportunity. When the Chu state's grain and grass were burned, Chang Wenjun and General Xiang Yan decided to make a surprise attack When Zhong Wucheng arrived, he should have reacted.
The opponent's general is Bai Yan, whom he has always been most afraid of!
If Bai Yan could be dealt with so easily, how could he be Bai Yan!
"Jing Qi, you deserve death!"
Jing Qi said with a bitter smile to himself, he had woken up at this time, but it was already too late to say anything! Seeing the countless Qin soldiers surrounding him, Jing Qi was not afraid of death, but Jing Qi was afraid that after his death, Bai Yan would not let go of this opportunity.
Looking back on his thoughts before the attack on Zhongwu City, Jing Qi also regretted it. Maybe he had negotiated peace with the Qin State earlier, released the Qin army and only eliminated Bai Yan, put pressure on the Qin government and the public, and forced Ying Zheng to agree. That would have been great!
Why do you want to use military skills to try to get rid of Bai Yan, destroy the Qin army, and take back Qufu and Wei...
Now, it's too late to say anything!
On the distant valley.
Bai Yan looked at Jing Qi who was gradually surrounded. When the general beside him came to report, Bai Yan turned around and saw that what the general was holding was the head of Lord Chang Wen.
Looking at the head that I had seen countless times in Qin State, I looked at the horrified look on Lord Changping's head, and his eyes full of doubts.
In the valley just now, Lord Chang Wen was roaring unwillingly. Although Bai Yan was standing on the valley path, he could clearly hear it. However, Bai Yan did not choose to go down, nor did he give an order to stop others from killing Lord Chang Wen.
Bai Yan knew that if he went down to see Chang Wenjun for the last time and told Chang Wenjun personally that Bai Yan had known about Chang Ping Jun for a long time, it might be very satisfying to see Chang Wen Jun's reaction, and he could also watch Chang Wen Jun being crushed by the soldiers with his own eyes. The bodies were cut into pieces and hacked to death with random knives.
But thinking back to the soldiers who died in the battle of Shangjun Gaonu, Bai Yan finally held back! All the soldiers did not know until their death that Lord Changping secretly colluded with the Xiongnu, so they died in the battle at Gaonu.
At present, Bai Yan avenged those soldiers. Similarly, Bai Yan also asked Lord Yaochang Wen to die in the canyon without any reason, with countless doubts.
many things.
Only when he saw Lord Changping, Bai Yan would say it in front of Lord Changwen.
Now Bai Yan just wants to send this head to Lord Changping! ! !
