Looking at the mess on the ground in front of him, the pursuing General Qin was full of doubts: "That's not right. Logically speaking, there should be troops left behind by the ghost army here. Where are the people?"
As he spoke, he looked around the terrain and made a decision immediately. He waved his hand and said, "Never mind! Keep chasing!"
The Qin army did not stop and continued to pursue them.
The two thousand ghost troops here who were responsible for the escape from the rear were also unlucky. They ran south and thought they could go around to a safe place, but unexpectedly they happened to encounter a large force of southern Xinjiang soldiers.
As soon as Meng Ya saw the ghost army's defeat, he immediately felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. His face was full of excitement, and he rushed forward. The result can be imagined.
As for Mokaisi, he thought that the troops left behind could buy some time for his main force to escape, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Tan Ma arrived again: "The general is in trouble! The Qin army is coming!"
"What!?" Mokes became angry and could not help but glare at the deputy general who had just followed him: "The person you left behind is in the rear!"
"This." The deputy general also looked confused: "My subordinates do have two thousand people left. No matter how eager the Qin army is to pursue them, they should be hindered."
"Trash!" Mokaisi gritted his teeth, then jerked his butt: "Quickly retreat!"
Knowing that the Qin army was not far behind him, the soldiers of the ghost army were even more panicked than him. After they patted their horses and ran away, they scrambled and ran for their lives.
In this pursuit, both sides ran and fought and fought. Every time the Qin army was about to catch up, a large number of people on the ghost army either fled or were killed or injured.
In this way, after the decisive battle during the day, the pursuit continued all night, until dawn the next day, the Qin army had not stopped yet, and was about to catch up to the tail.
After Mokes heard the news, his initial anger turned into fear. At the same time, a deep fear struck his heart.
At first, he thought that the decisive battle was a disastrous defeat and he would just retreat, but now it seems that the Qin army is completely chasing him to death!
His face turned pale, and he no longer reprimanded his subordinates as before. Instead, he remained silent and focused on riding.
At this time, after a day of fighting and a night of pursuit and escape, both sides were already exhausted.
But at this moment, Xiao Yuan issued an order:
Anyone who kills the generals of the ghost army will be awarded the third level of military merit and a hundred taels of gold.
Whoever kills Mokes will be given a baron and five hundred taels of gold.
Let’s not talk about the concept of these five hundred taels of gold. Just a baron is enough for ordinary people to look up to.
You must know that the Qin State does not have small towns such as rural princes and county princes. The princes and uncles are the real titles!
Even for the lowest baron, it is not that easy. I don’t know how much accumulation of military merit is required.
And with this Baron, it is no exaggeration to say that even if you lie at home every day, you can live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
Therefore, after learning of this military order, the entire Qin army went crazy. The already exhausted soldiers were all excited, as if they had been given blood, and they pursued and killed even more fiercely.
For the ghost army, this was undoubtedly the final critical blow.
It's noon.
After one day and one night, Mokes really couldn't run anymore.
The horse under his crotch has already begun to foam at the mouth.
Look at the ghost army below, all of them are in ragged clothes, gray-headed faces, lying all over the place, breathing heavily, with scimitars, spears and other weapons thrown everywhere.
Because these are already a burden to them who are hungry, sleepy and exhausted.
The deputy general came over and said tentatively: "General, there are still more than ten miles ahead. It should be safe to cross the Kansi River."
The implication is that I still don’t dare to stay here.
Mokes also understood this and was equally frightened. After resting for a while, he stood up and waved, "Let's go! Quick! Anyone who doesn't want to die, get moving! Get ahead and cross the river!"
The ghost army was wailing, but they had no choice but to stand up and follow them crookedly.
"Move quickly!"
"The Qin army will not be able to catch up if they cross the Kansi River!"
"Follow me quickly!"
The deputy general kept shouting at the side of the team.
At this time, the ghost army had changed from the original army of 200,000 to only more than 10,000.
Among them, more than 10,000 people were killed in ambush.
Tens of thousands of people died on the frontal battlefield during the decisive battle, and even more were chased and killed while fleeing. A large number of troops were scattered, with headless flies running around, or were killed by the southern Xinjiang soldiers. Some were encircled and suppressed.
This is the consequence of defeat in a decisive battle.
Looking at the tattered remnants of the army, Mokes no longer had the strength to lament. He just wanted to escape from the battlefield alive.
But at this moment, the voice of the probing horse came over again in the distance: "Report~~~"
Mokes heart skipped a beat.
However, this time, before Tan Ma could reach the front of the team, a sharp arrow struck him and knocked him off his horse.
Immediately afterwards, there were shouts of killing, and countless Qin troops raised their swords high and rushed out from behind.
ah! ? Seeing this scene, all the ghost soldiers were shocked. Some were restless and looked around at a loss, some were looking for weapons, and some were so frightened that they screamed and ran away.
As soon as someone ran away, there would naturally be a second and third one, and various situations formed an extremely chaotic scene.
Mokaisi's face was also pale, and he was still making the last effort: "Don't be afraid! Don't panic! Get ready to meet the enemy! To meet the enemy -"
He screamed and yelled at the top of his lungs, but in the current situation, no one was paying attention to him. He was running away, scattered in all directions, and some were yelling and cursing, making it a mess.
"It's over! It's over!" Mokes cried out sadly, watching helplessly as more and more soldiers ran away around him.
On the other hand, the Qin army was already rushing forward.
"Kill--"
With loud shouts, they raised their swords and rushed to pursue and chop them. The fleeing ghost soldiers soon let out miserable howls one after another, and fell into a pool of blood one after another.
But this scene, not only did not allow the remaining ghost army to gather, but more people screamed in fear and ran away.
That's what it's like to be scared.
It didn't take long for the ghost army to kill a large number of people, and more and more Qin troops were chasing here. In the end, an encirclement and suppression was formed in all directions.
Mokes was among them, and his survival instinct kept him squeezing into the middle of the crowd.
But this is already useless.
It was a one-sided massacre. Knowing that this was the army led by the Ghost Army, the eyes of the Qin Army officers and soldiers seemed to be shining, what a battle achievement!
At the end of the fight, there was a soldier in the field holding the head of Mokes, covered in blood, laughing crazily: "Oh my! I killed the commander of the ghost army, Mokes! I killed the commander of the ghost army, Mokes - "
And Mo Kaisi's headless body is still being snatched by everyone.
"Haha! Mine! I cut off Mokes's right arm!" (End of this chapter)
