Chapter 53: The counterattack begins
Who would have thought that there would be an ambush in the territory of Qin.
At least Qin Jiang didn't expect it.
He was leisurely leading people to the front line with strategic materials, and although he received several urgings, he did not plan to rush to the front line as soon as possible.
People eat meat, and we can drink soup after us, but we don't gnaw bones.
Although the Qin army rarely went to the battlefield, he did a lot of things to suppress bandits, so he still knew about the war.
Li Zongxun urged him to arrive as soon as possible, which means that the front line is a little tight, and it also shows that he may encounter a stubborn enemy who has slipped through the net when he leads people in the past, but he has brought a local army, and his combat power is not high, and it is okay to maintain the place.
So he's not in a hurry.
On this day, I received a document from the front again, and I didn't need to read it to urge him.
Thinking about it, Qin Jiang felt that it was not good to drag it out for too long, and it would not be good if Li Zongxun took a copy of the excerpt, so he ordered to speed up and go out of Aiwu Valley, Aiwu Valley is a canyon in the Yushan Mountain Range, and after Aiwu Valley, it will go directly to the original Shangcheng Country by a horse and a flat river.
As long as the marching speed is slightly accelerated, it will be possible to rewind the large camp left by Li Zongxun on the north bank of the Chen River in three to four days.
When I thought that the army would walk out of the Aiwu Valley, suddenly a large number of Xia troops appeared on both sides of the canyon, and suddenly the arrows rained down, and the rolling wood and stones smashed down on the top of the head, the Aiwu Valley was long and narrow, and the entrance to the exit was about forty miles, an official road passed through the mountain, the width of the official road in the valley could be missed by two carriages at most, and the soldiers walked in four columns, and then it was crowded, more than 200,000 people, and the front was about to go out of the valley, and the back had just entered the valley.
There are steep cliffs with great slopes on both sides of the Aiwu Valley, and unless people who are very high in cultivation can climb to the top of the cliffs with their bare hands without interference and resistance.
The Qinjiang army was ambushed, the quality of the soldiers was not high, and the generals' cultivation was also low, to put it bluntly, these people belonged to the Tuntian soldiers, who usually farmed at home, and returned to the barracks when they had a task.
They didn't react at all, and they fell in pieces, suffering heavy casualties, and very few people fought back.
Miserable, very miserable.
Including Qin Jiang, in the end, there were less than 100,000 people left, and all of them were injured and seriously injured, and those military materials were poured with tung oil by the Xia army, and the rockets burned clean.
The ambush of the Qin River was the majority of the Black Flag Army and most of the Hu'er Battalion, who penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Qin State and fled in an instant after the attack.
Only the corpses of the Qin army and the wailing wounded soldiers were left all over the ground.
After this battle, the two armies did not even face each other at close range, and Qin Jiang only judged that it was the Xia army from the enemy's military flag and armor and clothing, but whether it was or not, Qin Jiang was not sure.
You say it's a bad thing.
Qin Jiang was almost wiped out, and even if he was lucky enough to survive nearly half of the people, he lost his combat effectiveness because of serious injuries.
When the officials of the nearby counties got the news and rushed over for reinforcements, they were also stunned when they saw the mourning everywhere.
Qin Jiang knew that he was completely finished, and he was disheartened, and then he vomited blood and fainted at the feet of a county magistrate.
The defeat of Qin Jiang could not be reached by Li Zongxun on the front line in a short time, and he was still waiting for Qin Jiang to bring people over quickly.
That is, on a rainy night two days after the Qinjiang River was ambushed, Li Zongxun stayed in Jiangbei to guard the camp and guard the pontoon bridge, and suddenly encountered an attack, the pontoon bridge was destroyed, and the Beida camp was ......
