Besides, even if they rushed up the high slope regardless of casualties, I don't know if the thieves were ambushed in the forest, you must know that the cavalry entered the woods, which was inferior to the infantry, in case the thieves ambushed many infantry in the forest in advance, and their own three hundred cavalry rushed in, even if they entered the tiger's mouth, it would be difficult to come out again.

You must know that there are seven or eight thousand people in Baiqi, which is enough to fill every high slope here.

Zuo Liangyu has always been suspicious, and he will never fight a battle that he is not sure of, thinking of this, he ordered several teams of men and horses to withdraw together.

Hong Chengchou saw that he chased and killed for a while, and he gained little, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly explained, and said his thoughts, Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, feeling that Zuo Liangyu's words were not unreasonable.

What now? You can't chase it, you can't kill it, you can't kill it, you can't always use energy here.

Hong Chengchou divided the situation and felt that the enemy soldiers must be deceitful, he only had 3,000 cavalry, and the infantry had not yet arrived, so it was better not to act rashly, so he ordered 3,000 people to form a battle formation and slowly retreat, in order to meet with the infantry and then attack.

Wang Jian watched Hong Chengchou retreat from a distance, his heart was overjoyed, and he said to the dialogue: "The general scared off 3,000 officers and soldiers with 500 men and horses, and this battle was won beautifully. ”

Bai shook his head: "Where did we win?" They didn't kill many of them, they just withdrew. ”

Wang Jian also knows that Bai Qi's law of war has always been based on how much land he occupies and how much spoils he takes, he has only one standard, how many people to kill!

Wang Jian asked: "There are 3,000 officers and soldiers, how many times more than us, why do you want to withdraw?" ”

Bai Qi smiled: "We know that we only have five hundred people, but the officers and soldiers don't know." He also thinks we have tens of thousands. I told the cavalry to run into the woods on the high slopes, but the officers and soldiers were afraid that there would be ambushes in the woods, so they did not dare to rush in. ”

Wang Jian also smiled, it seems that Bai Qi went around pulling Zhuang Ding to make up the number of people, it turned out to be this, now that the official army has retreated, he reminded Bai Qi: "We should also withdraw, we can lead Hong Chengchou out of Xi'an, if he wants to go back, it will take three or four days of hard work, with this kung fu, the king and they have already built Xi'an City." ”

Bai Qi said: "Not only that, our move, Jingbian immediately felt a crisis, so Hong Chengchou will definitely send more people to Jingbian, right now, we have eaten this piece of fat, as long as Hong Chengchou attacks Xi'an, we will attack Jingbian, forcing him to come to the rescue." ”

Wang Jian was very excited.

Bai Qi began to retreat with five hundred cavalry, chasing the infantry.

Speaking of Xi'an City, since the official army retreated, the King of Qin had a plan, ordering the flags, gongs, drums and other things that were not taken away from the official army camp back to the city, and made a big noise along the street, saying that it was the next battle in Xi'an City, killing and wounding countless officers and soldiers, Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu fled overnight, and the instruments and guns were lost all the way.

Because he was afraid that the people would not believe it, the king of Qin ordered the city gate to be opened and the people could enter and leave at will. It was like the situation after a great war, so I believed eight points.

In the eyes of the people of Xi'an, Hong Chengchou was the master of Shaanxi, and now he was defeated, so the people began to look at the Qin army differently.

The King of Qin lost no time in letting his subordinates spread his life experience around, and within a few days, almost every Xi'an people with ears knew that this King of Qin was Qin Shi Huang 1,800 years ago, and now the world is in turmoil, and he is back to reopen the peaceful and prosperous world.

The stories in the mouths of the Qin army are becoming more and more outrageous, saying that the king of Qin can resurrect the dead as long as he points with his hand, and even if the cannonball hits, he can make it fly back, etc., which is amazing. Some of the people did not believe it, but most of them were skeptical. The only thing that reassured them was that after these Qin troops occupied the city, they neither killed people and set fires, nor robbed money, nor raped women, and some soldiers even helped some poor families, so although the Qin army entered the city not long ago, it slowly won the hearts of the people. The people of Xi'an were no longer afraid, so the shops began to open, and the materials began to circulate, so that the city was restored to some vitality.

As the foundation of the Qin army in Xi'an City slowly stabilized, the King of Qin ordered to start recruiting troops, although the Qin army suffered little losses in a few days of defending the city, but in order to plan for the future, the more soldiers the better.

Xi'an was already stockpiled with a large amount of grain and gold treasures, and the king of Qin still sent people out of the counties to collect grain into the city in accordance with the policy of Huayin, so as to prevent the officials and troops from coming to besiege it.

Li Yan and they have been very busy these days, supervising the construction of the city wall and training new soldiers, and at the same time Li Yan proposed to the king of Qin to build some cannons to defend the city. The king of Qin asked all the people in the army, none of them could build, and the armory in the city had been set on fire by the officers and soldiers in the armory when the Qin army occupied Xi'an.

In just a few days, the Qin army has grown to 7,000 people, and the displaced people in the city and the hungry people outside the city are important sources of soldiers.

Ziyi calculated, when they were just resurrected, there were 10,000 Qin people, after several major battles in the past three years, there are only 4,000 left, and the 6,000 Qin troops are not all dead on the battlefield, about one or two thousand people are missing, and they may be able to come back in the future, but in this world, the possibility of them surviving is very small, and most of them were killed and eaten by groups of hungry people.

In any case, the remaining 4,000 Qin troops are the elite who will revive Great Qin in the future, and they can't be allowed to lose their lives easily, so King Qin ordered to build more iron armor and let every Qin army wear it as much as possible.

After a few days of hard work, Xi'an was restored to a strong city.

It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Hong Chengqian did not return to attack Xi'an, but heard that he went to Jingbian to strengthen the guards there. So the king of Qin ordered the city to celebrate the New Year.

This is the most lively New Year in the past three years.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the King of Qin held a banquet at the Governor's Mansion and feasted all the officers of the Qin army above 100 commanders, and the Qin troops below 100 commanders also distributed wine, meat and silver money, and everyone ate and drank happily.

As for the defenders in the city, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, because Hong Chengqian always liked to play tricks and conspiracies, who knows if he would take advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve to come and sneak attack, so the King of Qin strictly ordered the soldiers on duty, not to relax, and wait until after dawn, and then let them have a good New Year.

So this night, the outside of Xi'an is tight and loose, the city is full of lights, firecrackers are noisy, and it is very lively.

King Qin and the others drank until the second half of the night, and King Qin was a little drunk, so Li Dang helped him back to his room to rest.

There was a candle burning in the room, which was very bright, but at this time, there was a person sitting at the head of the bed in the room, Sun Mengdie.

As soon as Li Dang helped King Qin in, and when he saw Sun Mengdie, Li Dang couldn't help but be surprised. Because Sun Mengdie usually doesn't live here, but is watched by a few Qin soldiers and lives in another courtyard. Since King Qin rescued her, although he visited her from time to time, the time he stayed was very short, and the content of each conversation was nothing more than asking her what she lacked, what she wanted to eat, and what she wanted to wear.

Why did Sun Mengdie come here secretly tonight, did he want to assassinate the king and kill him?

Li Dang was secretly vigilant and tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife.

King Qin also found Sun Mengdie, shook his head vigorously, regained his senses, and when he saw the person who came clearly, he frowned, as if he was also a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything, and instructed Li Dang: "You go back and rest." I don't need you here. ”

Li Dang whispered in King Qin's ear: "King, she suddenly ran over, if she has bad intentions and wants to assassinate the king, even if the villain dies, she will not dare to leave." ”

King Qin smiled: "If she wants to assassinate this king, how can she sit here upright and be discovered by you?" Go ahead, or you're disobedient. ”

Li Dare is the bravest warrior in the Qin army, otherwise he would not be buried with him, in his previous life, Qin Shi Huang encountered countless assassinations, especially Jing Ke assassinated Qin and Zhang Lang Bolang assassinated Qin The most thrilling, the king of Qin is especially concerned about the assassination, even the close ministers are not allowed to go to the palace with a sword, why don't you ask this time, dare to let an enemy woman be alone with him?

He wanted to beg again, but when he saw King Qin's face, he had to retreat, but he didn't dare to go far, he just stood by the door with a knife, as soon as King Qin made a sound, he jumped in to escort him.
