The Chu army slowly withdrew from the Jingzhou border and returned to the Yuezhou border.
Moreover, Xiao Huangqi, who was cautious again and again, mobilized most of Chu's troops. It is enough to directly halve the number of Huaichuan Navy, leaving only a small number of Navy that can block the Qin army and attack frontally.
certainly! According to Xiao Huangqi's speculation, he had a rough guess about Qin's navy in Jingzhou. If the calculation is correct, after the Jingzhou army is integrated, the Qin King's army in Jingzhou will be at least 400,000. To be more precise, it should not be less than 450,000.
In other words, the total military strength of the Qin State at this time ranged from 700,000 to 700,000.
The Qin army is extremely brave! Before taking Jingzhou, Chu State might still have the strength to fight, but now! After Qin captured Jingzhou, its strength expanded rapidly. It is difficult for a country that relies only on Chu to avoid the edge.
And this time! Li Jing sent Li Xiaozhi to reinforce Lantian's 30,000-strong army, which also arrived in Gui County. When I saw the messy Gui County and the battlefield with corpses everywhere. Li Xiaozhi's heart suddenly tightened.
"How could this happen!" Li Xiaozhi couldn't believe the scene in front of him. He found that lying everywhere were the corpses of the Qin army.
"Quickly, save people, see if anyone is still alive?" Li Xiaozhi's beast-like roar shook the heavens and the earth.
"Quickly...save people!"
The soldiers behind him immediately scattered and gathered the corpses together.
They were all soldiers from Nanzhou, and they were all brothers who ate, drank, had sex and slept together. How could they feel so good when they saw the soldiers of Qin everywhere?
Li Xiaozhi also got off his horse in panic and placed his hammers heavily on the ground. because! His eyes saw an extremely familiar figure from behind. It was Lan Tian.
Running quickly over, Li Xiaozhi knelt down on Lan Tian's body, held Lan Tian's shoulders with his huge hands, and helped him sit up.
Lantian's face was pale, and a bloodstain on his throat was still clearly visible. And those eyes were not closed until death.
"General Lan Tian, who are you? Who made you look like this." Li Xiaozhi's rough voice sounded in Lan Tian's ears. But he couldn't wake up Lan Tian.
He gently stroked Lan Tian's eyes with his hands, letting Lan Tian close his eyes with peace of mind.
He secretly felt a ruthlessness and hatred in his heart, "General Lantian, rest in peace first. Xiaozhi will definitely avenge you. He will definitely pay for the blood debt of the soldiers of Chu State."
After cleaning the battlefield, it took about an hour for Qin soldiers to collect all the corpses of Qin soldiers.
The deputy general immediately reported back to Li Xiaozhi.
Seeing the deputy general approaching, Li Xiao asked directly, "How's it going? The soldiers are all corpses. Have you restrained yourself?"
"It's time to calm down. They are all my sons and daughters of Great Qin, and they are all good people. How could the general have the heart to expose their corpses in the wilderness!" As he said that, the deputy general's eyes began to turn red slightly.
Of the 20,000 soldiers, not one surrendered. Including all the generals, they were all fighting to the death.
"Very good! Order the army to set off back to Nanxia County! Report the situation of General Lantian to General Li Jing...and then! Report to the king!" Li Xiaozhi said with his throat choked.
"promise!"
Twenty thousand and one corpses were loaded onto the car under Li Xiaozhi's order.
Along the way, Li Xiaozhi's army was blowing horns as they walked, as if they were sending 20,000 soldiers home.
until six o'clock the next morning.
Li Xiaozhi's army just returned to Nanxia County and gathered neatly in rows in front of the gate of Nanxia County.
This movement also woke up Li Jing, who finally squinted his eyes for a while.
Go south to the county government.
The soldiers stationed at the city gate immediately hurried into the city.
"Report! General, General Li Xiaozhi is back."
"Still...will..."
The words were about to come out, but they were stuck in my throat and couldn't be dragged out.
"oh!"
When he heard that Li Xiaozhi was back, Li Jing's face was a little surprised, he didn't expect it! Li Xiaozhi, who went to the front line for reinforcements only yesterday, brought his troops back today.
It seems that the battle situation on the front line should be quite smooth.
"Just come back and let him gather the army back to camp. And what's more! Let General Lantian come to see me." Li Jing said calmly.
And then, a piece of major news hit Li Jing's head like a bolt from the blue.
thump!
Suddenly, the soldier's knees bent and he knelt directly in front of Li Jing.
His eyes were moved, and tears seemed to be swirling in his eyes, "General Li Jing, General Lantian... General Lantian and the 20,000 soldiers under his command were all killed in battle. General Li Xiaozhi has already removed the body of General Lantian and the bodies of the soldiers. After they were all transported back, they were piled up under the city and prepared for cremation."
What?
At this moment, Li Jing's butt finally couldn't sit still. Upon hearing the news, Li Jing jumped up and looked at the soldiers with dull eyes.
"Are you telling the truth?" Li Jing couldn't believe it.
He knew that Lantian's city-defending skills might not be matched by anyone in the world.
Now, is he actually dead like this?
"Of course it's true. How dare I make a joke about such a thing?"
Before the soldiers could get up, Li Jing immediately rushed out of the door.
"General...General, wait for me!" The soldier immediately followed.
At this time, Li Jing's heart was beating a drum.
Don’t forget, who is Lan Tian? That was the earliest person to follow King Qin! Although he was not famous and his reputation was not very great, he was stationed at Wuguan alone for several years.
It can be said that for Dongfang Yu, he guarded Beiliang's throat.
and! People like them could clearly see Lan Tian's position in Dongfang Yu's heart at a glance.
In order to allow Lantian to make achievements on the battlefield, Dongfang Yu deliberately pulled Lantian out of Wuguan and followed Li Jing's army to attack Nanzhou.
Li Jing went straight to the gate of Nanxia County and saw Li Xiaozhi and a group of soldiers. The corpses of a group of soldiers were lying next to them.
And because it was still autumn and September, the surrounding temperature was particularly hot. At this time, the corpses of the soldiers had an unpleasant stench.
Seeing Li Jing coming, Li Xiaozhi and other generals all came forward to greet him.
"Meet the general."
"Where is General Lantian's body?" Li Jing asked directly.
"Gulu!"
After swallowing, Li Xiao pointed to Lan Tian lying on the firewood behind him and said directly, "General, is that there?"
well!
Li Jing narrowed his eyes deeply and ordered: "Send eight hundred miles of scouts to pass the news of the heroic death of General Lantian and his 20,000 troops back to Jingzhou and report it to the king."
"In addition, after the corpses of the generals and soldiers were cremated, the ashes were put into boxes."
Chu State? The wrath of Qin and the wrath of King Qin, I wonder if you can bear it!
The moment Lan Tian died in battle! Li Jing already understood how crazy Qin's next move would be!
