Jiang Song, the spy of the Qin State who was following far behind, watched General Bai Chu, who led the charge of the troops, be beheaded with a knife, and couldn't help but have his liver and gall cracked. Ever since the fire on the river, he had already had a premonition that the situation was not good today. And when Zhao Guo's cavalry rushed down from Qixia Ridge, he only felt the momentum that was difficult to resist, and he understood that the general trend was coming, and he should hurry up to find an opportunity to escape.

People who walk in the dark for a long time always have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. When the Southern Han army shouted and rushed forward to kill, Jiang Song had already found a way to retreat. Seeing Bai Chu being killed, he no longer had the slightest hesitation, quickly retreated to the river, plunged into the water, and desperately fled downstream downstream. The flames burned and even the air on the river became suffocating. Resisting the pain of the wound in his shoulder, he took a deep breath and dived underwater. And the last thing he saw when he looked back before he submerged in the water was that the Southern Han naval army had collapsed under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Zhao State and was scattering and fleeing.

Without the general's command, the army also lost the courage to continue fighting. In the face of the long swords and fierce horses of the Zhao people, they had no way to organize effective resistance except to flee for their lives. However, even if you want to escape, where do you flee?

All the warships were congested on this stretch of river, forming a wall of fire in the rising flames. Desperate soldiers could only flee along the shore or kneel and beg for mercy. However, the cavalry of Zhao State, who had already received the order to kill, were ruthless. The horses neighed, the iron armor was cold, the long knives swung over, and the corpses fell on the land one by one, blood flowing, staining the river bank red.

In the Qixialing ambush battle, it took less than half an hour for the dragoons to control the overall situation from the beginning of the charge, and in the following time, there was only brutal killing. The war horse galloped back and forth, the sword light flickered, and between the mountains and the river, life was as light as an ant.

At the height of Qixia Ridge, all the palace attendants who were tasked with protecting looked at the thrilling battlefield below without blinking, and everyone trembled with excitement, eager to immediately run down and draw their swords to help in the battle. However, when I think of my responsibilities, I force myself to calm down. During this time, they had all secretly looked at the figure waving the battle flag several times, but they didn't even notice it, and the reverence in their eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Your Highness, the overall situation has been decided! This victory is really painful...... Hahaha! ”

Minister Fei Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, smiling and laughing, but he couldn't help but burst into tears. He personally beat the drum just now to boost morale, and watching the heroic fighting of the dragoon soldiers, he couldn't help but think of the past events in his prime of life with King Zhao on the battlefield, and his heart was both relieved and sad.

Chu Jiangmian held the flagpole in his hand, the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, and the battle flag hunting flew above his head. Although he did not personally mount his horse to kill the enemy, he stood here, which in itself was the greatest support for this war.

"There is a difference between justice and injustice in the wars of the world. The righteous crusaders will win, and the unprovoked invaders will be defeated! The Southern Han Kingdom was driven by interests and invaded with troops, and I will remember this account. The annihilation of these armies of theirs today is only a small lesson...... Sooner or later, Lu Qi, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, will pay a greater price! ”

Chu Jiangmian retracted his gaze to look at the battlefield, although his tone was indifferent, everyone heard his determination and courage. At this moment, no one will think that what he says is a threat. A person who wiped out more than 20,000 elite divisions with a wave of his hand, when he really ascended the throne, what kind of situation would it be...... When he thought of this, not only the hearts of other people were hot, but even Gongzi Liangsheng, who had been resting silently beside him, was also a little inexplicably looking forward to it.

"Your Highness has a big heart and great wisdom. In the future, inheriting the will of the king, punishing evil and promoting good, and benefiting the well-being of all people in the world, it is just around the corner! Lao Chen has full confidence in this! ”

Fei Yi bowed again, and everyone also saluted. This is the hope from the bottom of everyone's hearts. Chu Jiangmian waved his hand and thanked him, not daring to claim his own credit.

"Your Royal Highness! Our army has won a complete victory, beheaded the enemy, and I am here to present it! ”

Captain Wang Jun, who came to report the news on the orders of General Long Yu, jumped off his horse and threw a human head to the ground. Then he fell to the ground, his face full of excitement. Chu Jiangmian stretched out his hand to help him up, but he didn't look at the head, just patted him on the shoulder and praised loudly.

"Wang Jun, hard work! I've written it down for you! ”

The cavalry lieutenant was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince would know his name! The people present were also very happy, although they had long known that victory was in sight, but it was still a little unexpected that it came so quickly. Fei Yi walked over first, glanced at the human head, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that Bai Chu, the general of the Southern Han Naval Army, is also a fierce general, but I didn't expect to kill him so easily today! My Dragoons are truly mighty soldiers! Captain Wang is mighty! Hehe! ”

"This is all the work of His Royal Highness's strategy, we only know how to kill the enemy, and we will never dare to take the credit...... Your Royal Highness the Prince, Prime Minister, General Dragoon has asked me to report that most of the enemy army has been wiped out, and we are encircling and suppressing the remnants of the enemy. In an hour or so, the battle will be over! ”

Such definite news is undoubtedly particularly encouraging. Chu Jiangmian pulled out his sword from the ground, only said a word, and then took the lead to walk under Qixia Ridge.

"Let's go! Let's go to the battlefield together. ”

Everyone followed, and none of them lagged behind.

The information reported by Captain Wang Jun is accurate. The Southern Han army has indeed been almost wiped out. There are still hundreds of people left, which is considered fateful. They all retreated to a slightly higher ground on the bank of the river, where they put up desperate and stubborn resistance, trying to hold on to the last bit of shelter. Long Yu has personally led people over to surround and kill, and it is believed that it will not be long before they are all wiped out.

Within a radius of dozens of miles on the bank of the river, there were corpses everywhere. They are all soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty Navy Army, they died here, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, the water is wide and the sky is long, and their souls can never return to their hometown.

The dragoons, of course, also suffered a small number of casualties. Although this ambush battle can be regarded as a unique and brilliant victory. But these dead fighters are undoubtedly sad.

Chu Jiangmian walked down Qixialing and walked all the way in smoke and blood. He leaned down, picked up the body of the first dragoon cavalry he had encountered from the dead and wounded, and wiped the blood from his face with his own hands. Then the second, the third...... They were all lowered to a clean clearing on the shore and covered their faces with their robes. Keeping every warrior as dignified as possible after their death was perhaps the only thing he could do for them now.

Although he has tried his best to create the most favorable conditions and the most suitable fighters, since it is a war, casualties are always inevitable. Nearly three hundred dragoon warriors lost their lives in this short period of time. Many of the more injured are being treated quickly.

It was different from the emotions in the hearts of everyone present. Chu Jiangmian's eyes did not have much joy after the big victory. On the contrary, what haunted him was only sadness that could not be relieved. This kind of compassion is not only for the dead soldiers of the Zhao State, but for all the dead and wounded on the battlefield today.

"Your Highness! At the cost of hundreds of casualties, he won a huge victory of more than 20,000 enemies...... Not many people in the world were able to do such a method. As for the old minister, he is even more out of reach! ”

Fei Yi, who was keenly aware of the solemn look on his face, although he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, he couldn't help but praise loudly. This is not his sycophancy, but the common sentiment of all.

"Yes! In my early years, I traveled to the vassal states, and I had witnessed several wars with my own eyes. The protracted fighting on those battlefields is self-explanatory. And like this one, it was a big win in an hour or two...... But I have seen and heard of the unseen! Your Highness, I think if it weren't for the rush of time, the Dragoon Army would have been able to equip itself with the Divine Crossbow, and not only would the casualties be minimal, but I'm afraid the end of the battlefield would have been faster, right? ”

Bai Ye, who had been silently guarding Chu Jiangmian's side, finally couldn't help but take over Fei Yi's words. The war came too quickly, and the smelters of Zhao State worked hard day and night to build it, and only made a small number of divine crossbows. And they are all equipped with the newly established Tiger Ben Army. The contest with the army of Qin and Wei is the real hard-fought battlefield!

"No matter how powerful a divine weapon is, it is not my intention to use it to kill people...... Everyone who dies here, whether it's our soldiers or enemies. They are all of the same root and lineage, descendants of Yan and Huang. Every war is a burden that this land and nation cannot bear. I hope that in the near future, it is my greatest wish to be able to surrender without a fight! ”

Chu Jiangmian stood up with a solemn expression and strode forward. Perhaps not many people have yet understood what he meant. But he believes that it won't take long for him to have the ability to make them really understand!

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Sure enough, someone whispered in confusion. The enemy is the enemy, kill it and be fast! Moreover, the cruel order to leave no prisoners in this battle was obviously issued by him himself. Then why grieve because of the death of the enemy?

"Let's go! Don't ask, just do what he says in the future...... Your Highness has the world in mind, which is beyond our comprehension! ”

Minister Fei Yi sighed and took the lead in following closely. Among these people, perhaps only he can understand Chu Jiangmian's feelings in his heart. This young man who he has watched grow up with his own eyes is indeed a wise and courageous person who uses thunderbolt means with a compassionate heart!
