This battle did not last long. As the Qin cavalry swept across the battlefield, there was no longer any suspense.
The rear to the middle section of the Xirong army was swept across by iron cavalry. The dust was flying and it was already in chaos.
The front row is being counterpressed by the Qin infantry, harvesting with halberds.
With the battle situation like this, Cuban knew that it wouldn't be long before his entire army would be annihilated.
He did not rush ahead, but looked around, gritted his teeth, adjusted the reins in the chaos, and galloped away.
Their cavalry had been wiped out on the banks of the Corridor River, and now only the generals of Xiron could ride horses.
When he saw a horseman running out of the battlefield and trying to escape to the west, Xu Rong's eyes were sharp and he knew it must be an enemy general. He was determined to make a contribution. Without saying a word, he twitched the horse's buttocks and chased him out.
The two left the battlefield, one behind the other, and started a chase.
"Where are the enemy generals running?"
Not long after, there was loud shouting from behind.
Kuban was frightened and kept riding his horse. He turned around subconsciously and saw a Qin general pursuing him. In panic, he slapped the horse's buttocks hard with the blade of his sword again and ran even faster.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, but still unable to get closer, Xu Rong was so anxious that he raised his sword and threw it out in pursuit.
The evil wind hit, and Cuban had no time to think about it. He could only swing his scimitar back based on his feeling.
With a clang, the war sword was knocked away by him, but taking advantage of this opportunity, a riding whip was instantly wrapped around his waist, and then he pulled hard and threw him off his horse.
"Uu——"
Xu Rong tightened the reins and jumped off the horse, but before he could step forward, Kuban had already rolled to his feet, shook his unconscious head, roared, and came forward with a machete to chop.
Xu Rong had no weapons and did not dare to fight head-on, so he temporarily gave way.
But soon, he realized that the Xirong general did not have any strong martial arts skills. He turned sideways to let the blade pass. He also seized the opportunity, pinched Kuban's wrist, and exerted force.
With a click, the crisp bones shattered, and the scimitar fell to the ground. Cuban howled miserably, and at the same time was punched in the chest again, staggering and falling.
Xu Rong's martial arts skills were definitely the highest among the eight generals of the Qin Kingdom. He could withstand many rounds in a single fight with the tiger general Tang Yue, but his character was another matter.
After defeating Cuban, he also sneered: "You are too weak, but this head can help me achieve merit and promotion."
As he spoke, he picked up the machete on the ground and walked towards Cuban.
The latter ignored the bleeding from the corner of his mouth and used his hands and feet. While retreating, he also said in panic: "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I am a Bai Rong noble and can provide you with information."
Xirong has often dealt with the Central Plains for more than a hundred years, so there are not many barriers to language communication.
Although his words were very lame, Xu Rong understood and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, "You mean, you are still valuable?"
"There must be, there must be, as long as the general is willing to spare my life..." Cuban kept saying, but he didn't expect that he would be so greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Well..." Xu Rong rolled his eyes, then pointed his scimitar: "Get up! Follow me back to the camp! If what you say is worthless and you dare to deceive this general, I will cut you into pieces!"
"Yes, yes..." Cuban just wants to survive now, and everything else has long been forgotten.
At dusk, the Qin army camped.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the generals of various ministries were making post-war reports.
"Commander Su, in the battle by the river, our army completely wiped out the Xirong cavalry and captured a total of 2,360 horses."
"Reporting to Commander Su, our troops were stationed in the Corrido Plain and wiped out four thousand enemies..."
In today's battle, all the Xirong soldiers were wiped out. Although all the Qin army generals were covered in blood, their faces were filled with excitement.
"Okay!" Su Yi was also in high spirits, looked around and said: "This battle is very important to our army, and it is also a fatal blow to Xirong. At present, the king is leading the main army to encircle and suppress Baltu, and Xirong has no more troops. With the support of troops, our next step is to attack Rongdu!"
Hearing this, the generals became more and more excited.
At this moment, Xu Rong led Kuban in, kicked him to the ground, clasped his fists towards Su Yi and said: "Commander Su, this man's name is Kuban, he is the commander-in-chief of this Xirong army, trying to take advantage of the chaos. He fled and was captured alive by the last general."
"Very good. Capturing the enemy general alive is a great achievement." Su Yi praised him without hesitation.
When Xu Rong heard this, he looked happy, clasped his fists again, and returned to his position.
At this time, other generals also looked at Kuban, and someone said: "No wonder the general of Xirong was not found. It turned out that he escaped before the battle. Fortunately, General Xu noticed him and captured him."
"Yes, the leader of this Xirong army must be a Bai Rong noble. If it weren't for General Xu, I'm afraid he would have really escaped..."
Listening to people's words, Xu Rong was so moved that he couldn't help but raise his head slightly.
Su Yi also stared at Cuban and said straight to the point: "Cuban, do you want to die or live?"
"Of course I want to live. Please let me live, general." If Cuban wasn't afraid of death, he wouldn't have escaped from the battlefield, and he wouldn't have been taken here.
"Then tell the truth what you know about the situation in Xirong, otherwise, everyone will be dead!" Su Yi's voice turned cold.
"Yes, yes, I will tell you everything I know." Cuban knelt on the ground, his voice trembled, and he swallowed secretly.
Su Yi said directly: "I would like to ask you how many troops the King of Xirong currently has on his side!"
"No... less than four thousand people." Cuban stammered.
"Are you sure?" Su Yi showed a scrutinizing look.
"How dare I hide it from the general? Every word is true."
Cuban tried his best to prove that he was still valuable. Seeing his greedy and fearful look and expression, Su Yi squinted his eyes and thought a lot.
After a while, he asked again: "Do you know the defense status of the capital of Xirong?"
"This..." Cuban hesitated.
Seeing this, Su Yi said directly: "If you can draw the defense map, it will be a great achievement! Not only will I not kill you, but I will also express your contribution to my king. When Xirong is pacified, you will probably get something." Reuse.”
Upon hearing this, Cuban's eyes widened immediately and he asked in a trembling voice: "Do you really mean what the general... said?"
"Of course, there is no such thing as joking in the army." Su Yi said.
Survive, perform meritorious service, or be killed, Cuban's eyes rolled around and he began to weigh the pros and cons.
Seeing this, Su Yi was not in a hurry, but said: "I will give you two days to think about it. You also know the current situation. Regardless of whether there is this defense plan or not, the King of Xirong will have no chance of survival."
After saying that, he also waved his hand towards the guard: "Take him down first and keep a good eye on him."
"No!" The guard clasped his fists, and took Cuban away with two people, one on the left and one on the right.
After he left, Goldman Sachs couldn't help but said: "Commander Su, if we can really figure out Rongdu's defense situation, then we can formulate effective tactics."
Su Yi glanced at him and said, "It would be best if we really had this defense map, but we can't listen to everything Cuban said. We still have to have our own offensive strategy. First, send a letter to the King to report the battle situation here."
