There is no need to say much about what it means to be attacked on the flank by the enemy in a decisive battle.
The deputy general took Yin Dian away. Judging from the entire battlefield situation, there was nothing wrong with his decision. While retreating, he continued to command: "Quick! Crossbowmen! Shoot at the opponent's feet!"
Following his order, the archers began to run, pulled out arrows from their quivers, and started shooting randomly at the Qin army.
This is just for the retreat of the main force and to gain some security. It has no effect on the overall situation.
As Yin Dian withdrew from the front line, the Ling Army soldiers, who were already somewhat invincible on the frontal battlefield, were defeated even faster. Especially where Lian Xiao was, without Yin Dian's resistance, it was as if he was in the middle of nowhere. In this situation, his spear slashed left and right, and with every blow, not one person was killed, but several people screamed and flew backwards, knocking down all of them.
Not long after, bursts of golden sounds came from the Spirit Army.
The soldiers of the Spirit Army everywhere on the battlefield began to retreat quickly, like a tide, especially the soldiers near Lian Xiao, who dispersed in a rush. Some even threw away their weapons, turned around and ran away.
The latter had a war horse and a spear. How could he miss such an opportunity? He pointed his spear and shouted: "The Spirit Army is defeated! The Spirit Army is defeated! Brothers, kill!"
"Kill--"
The morale of the Qin army across the board has been greatly improved, and the shouts of killing spread all the way.
This defeat of the Ling Army was truly a crushing defeat. It was like this on the front, but it was even more serious on the flanks. Under the sound of gold, the troops shrank across the board, leaving corpses all over the ground.
With such a great victory, the Qin army naturally launched a pursuit. After sweeping the battlefield, Lian Xiao and Wang Lie quickly reunited.
There were a lot of bloodstains on the armors of both of them. Time was tight and there was no time to reminisce about the past. Lian Xiao said directly: "General Wang Lie, the Ling Army was defeated and their momentum was in a hurry. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and try to wipe out Yin Dian. this."
Wang Lie nodded: "I will immediately go to the military aircraft camp and send a message to General Zhao Mu, asking him to divide his troops and block Yin Dian's possibility of escaping back to Caizhou."
"That's very good, hurry up and chase!" As soon as Lian Xiao finished speaking, he immediately started riding.
On the Ling Army's side, the escape route is of course back to Caizhou. Although it is only more than forty miles away, the Qin Army behind them will not let go. If they continue to pursue and kill like this, even if they can return, I am afraid there will not be many people left. .
Yin Dian had no choice but to leave an army behind and lead the remaining troops to defeat. He left behind all his baggage and marched lightly.
Along the way, battle flags and weapons were thrown all over the place. It is best to describe them as throwing away helmets and armor.
Unexpectedly, his 60,000-strong army would suffer such a disastrous defeat. Yin Dian was extremely angry, but not long after his remnants ran away, a fast horse came from ahead.
It was an urgent message sent by the Ling Army. Looking at the direction, it should be sent from Caizhou. When he arrived in front of Yin Dian, the spy immediately got off his horse, knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "General, your Majesty is sending a message."
"Oh?" Yin Dian felt inexplicably happy, thinking that the Spirit King was coming to rescue him, and quickly urged: "Hurry and show it to me."
After receiving the letter, he opened it and read it, but his expression suddenly became uncertain.
The deputy general was right next to him. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask: "General, I wonder what your Majesty's orders are."
"Damn Qin thieves!" Yin Dian cursed first, and then said bitterly: "Your Majesty sent a message that Caizhou is now being attacked by tens of thousands of Qin troops."
"What!?" This news shocked the lieutenant general. In surprise, he quickly reacted and said hurriedly: "This, this, the situation is not good, general. If there are tens of thousands of Qin troops in Caizhou, , will definitely stop us. At that time, they will chase us with roars and attack us from both sides, what should we do..."
How could Yin Dian not understand this truth? He shouted angrily: "Then what do you think we should do!"
"This, this." The lieutenant general's face was full of anxiety. After thinking about it, he immediately said: "In the opinion of the last general, it is no longer possible to return to Caizhou from the original route. Now we can only march towards Liupan Mountain to fight for the battle with Caizhou. General Wei Guang meets up."
In terms of the entire strategic deployment of the Ling Army, Liupan Mountain is Caizhou's right-wing defense line, where Wei Guang's 100,000 troops are confronting Sun Qi. Judging from the current situation, Yin Dian has only this way to go.
Therefore, he thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay! According to what you said, send an order to the entire army to change the route and march eastward! At the same time, send a message to General Wei Guang on horseback, asking him to take over."
"No!" The deputy general cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Although Sun Qi was present in the Liupan Mountain area, he was in a stalemate with Wei Guangcheng. Both parties had their own communication bases. Therefore, this letter could be conveyed smoothly. If Yin Dian wanted to go to Liupan Mountain from here, he did not need to pass through Sun Qi at all. At the base of the camp, he could choose the main road occupied by the Spirit Army, but this news would definitely reach Sun Qi before long.
On the other side, the troops left behind by Yin Dian had been defeated by the Qin army. Although more than two thousand spiritual troops died in the battle, they bought time for the main force to retreat.
After defeating this spiritual army, the Qin army continued to pursue and kill them along the way. The falcons in the sky were also circling back and forth, transmitting information continuously.
Soon, based on the march traces and intelligence information, Lian Xiao concluded that Yin Dian did not flee along the official road to Caizhou, but went east.
Wang Lie said: "Yin Dian may have understood the situation outside Caizhou City, knew that his retreat was blocked, and moved decisively. If he went east, he could only go to Wei Guang's First Division in Liupan Mountain."
"That's right." Lian Xiao said, "Yin Dian was defeated. This opportunity cannot be missed."
"Do you want to chase me again?"
"Chase!" Lian Xiao said decisively: "We can't let it get any repairs, let alone have a chance to regroup. I believe General Sun Qi will also send troops to stop the attack."
After the decisive battle between the two sides, one side was defeated and fled in panic, while the other side pursued and encircled and intercepted them, pulling the battlefield directly from Qingshi Gang to the Liupan Mountain area.
Not long after, Sun Qi also received the news. After thinking for a moment, he immediately sent a general and some troops to cut off the connection between Yin Dian and Wei Guang.
This was truly a multi-party siege, but General Yin Dian was defeated like a lost dog.
Similarly, Wei Guang also received a message from Kuai Ma. Based on Yin Dian's status, he did not dare not to save him, and even dispatched more than half of his elite troops.
In the evening, a fierce and fierce battle broke out between the three parties on a traffic artery outside Liupan Mountain.
On one side is the remnant army of Yin Dian. In order to survive, they desperately want to join Wei Guang.
On one side is Wei Guangbu, who fully supports Yin Dian.
On one side was Sun Qi's tribe, which was like a nail stuck in the throat where the two armies met.
This battle was extremely fierce. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, Lian Xiao's pursuit troops arrived and a melee began on four fronts.
