Shi Xi and Guan Kong, the generals of the Qin army who were named by Li You to lead the army as the vanguard, are both rookies of the Qin army that Li You personally discovered and promoted in the defense of Xingyang, the same combat bravery, the first in trouble, and the same courage and carefulness, calm in handling things, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions under Li You's account, and made great contributions to the final victory of the Xingyang Defense War, and both were personally recommended by Li You to the imperial court, so even Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, had heard of their names.

It was precisely because of Li You's love and favor that after receiving Li You's order, Shi Xi and Guan Kong's second general didn't even blink an eyelid, and immediately rushed back to the army under their command like flying, each with 3,000 men and horses from their headquarters strode out of the camp, and hurried straight to the chasm ferry ten miles away in the southeast.

Because it was necessary to cross the river with military supplies and baggage, which limited the speed of retreating eastward, when the Qin army rushed to the front, more than one-third of the army under Zhu Jishi could not cross the chasm, and it was the time when an army was the weakest in defense, and it was also the most vulnerable time for the soldiers to be psychologically.

"The Tyrannical Qin army is coming! Fast! Hurry up and cross the river! ”

"Hurry, hurry! People on the bridge, hurry up and cross the river! Carriage! Carriage! Hurry up and get the carriage! ”

"Hold on! Steady! Hold your ground! Get ready for battle! ”

"Fuck you! Who drove the car? How did you hit the carriage sideways?! ”

Faintly hearing these panicked shouts, and seeing from a distance that the young marshal soldiers who were crossing the river were in chaos, Shi Xi and Guan Kong Er General if they didn't know how to seize the opportunity to rush and fight, they would be too sorry Li You didn't hesitate to carry them, almost without any hesitation, Shi Guan Er General pointed at the front with his spear, and loudly ordered the charge, and the soldiers of the Qin army also shouted, and immediately rushed to the rear of the young marshal army under the personal leadership of Shi Guan Er's soldiers.

The battle began, in the fierce battle, the soldiers of the Qin army with obvious psychological advantages were all at the moment, all brave, and quickly killed the young marshal army on the west bank of the chasm and retreated one after another, and although the palace army arranged by Zhu Jishi also struggled to resist, it was helpless to be too flustered to echo the psychology before and after, and it was impossible to play its due combat effectiveness, and it was naturally destined to be unable to block the offensive of the Qin army. Completely disrupt the queue of the young marshal's army to cross the river.

Not only to take into account the military baggage that is being carried, but also to resist the wolf-like Qin army soldiers, the young marshal soldiers at the ferry soon quickly became chaotic, countless soldiers in order to survive, had to quickly abandon the baggage vehicles, scramble on the bridge to cross the river to escape, during which you push me, trample on each other, the dead are not a few, at the same time the vehicles and soldiers on the bridge are constantly squeezed down the chasm, splashing a large area of water, but also let out a desperate scream, many flags and young marshal sergeants who fell into the water quickly floated on the river, The soldiers of the Qin army took the opportunity to rush onto the bridge, expelled the defeated soldiers of the young marshal's army as the vanguard, and strode forward to fight for control of the bridgehead on the east bank.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Qin army covered from the two wings quickly rushed onto the bridge across the river, and the rear army of the young marshal army, which was still struggling to the death, no longer had the courage to continue to resist, and I don't know who took the lead in shouting to run, the rear army of the young marshal army immediately collapsed, and even the rolling and crawling hurriedly fled to the bridge that had not been completely lost so far, scrambling to cross the river and flee for their lives.

The Qin army still has the upper hand, the soldiers of the Qin army who went to the bridge before took the defeated soldiers of the young marshal army as the free vanguard, and have successfully seized the control of part of the bridgehead on the east bank, and they are very smart and deliberately did not stop the defeated soldiers of the young marshal army who later went to the bridge, and let the defeated soldiers of the young marshal army rush to the east bank, and also relied on the desperate impact of the defeated soldiers of the young marshal army to rush back to the rescue, and dispersed a thousand people of the young marshal army who hurriedly came back to rescue, covering the main force to rush across the chasm, and completely seized the control of the three bridges.

Or at this time, the Qin army finally encountered some decent resistance, found that the situation behind was not good, Zhu Jishi hurriedly took the front army to turn around and come back to fight, in a vain attempt to recapture the bridge or destroy the bridge, but the Qin army soldiers had crossed the river in large numbers, concentrated their forces to firmly hold the ferry position, Zhu Jishi failed to break the Qin army across the river several times, on the contrary, was also pulled into a melee by the Qin army across the river, the Qin army on the west bank took the opportunity to quickly cross the river, and gradually put all the six thousand troops into the battlefield on the east bank.

At the same time, Li You also personally led the main force of the Qin army to approach the ferry, but Li You did not rush to lead the army across the river, and chose to quickly climb the nearby high ground, overlooking the battlefield on the east bank of the chasm, to understand the battlefield situation, and also to observe whether the young marshal's army was deceitful and luring the enemy to lure his main force across the river and step into the trap. At the same time, Li You also sent scouts very carefully to quickly sentry into the upper and lower reaches of the chasm to find out whether the young marshal's army had ambushes.

The results of the observation made Li You very happy, the young marshal army on the east bank obviously did not seem to be deliberately luring the enemy, but was really desperate, even if the bridge had been quickly lost, and the strength was also at a disadvantage, but the young marshal army on the east bank said that he would not take half a step back, and he was still fighting hard to fight back at the ferry position, even if he fought with heavy casualties, he did not choose to give up, and he was still entangled with the vanguard of the Qin army to fight to the death, making it clear that he wanted to temporarily block the ferry, not giving the main force of the Qin army the opportunity to cross the river calmly, and buying time for the main force to return to the chasm battlefield. At the same time, due east, an army with torches could be faintly seen rushing towards this side at full speed.

"County guard, it's time for our main force to cross the river!" A general next to him hurriedly suggested: "Hurry up and help Shi Xi and Guan Kong defeat the rebels and take the position on the east bank, otherwise, once the reinforcements of the rebels return to the ferry and help the thieves on the east bank hold the ferry, it will be difficult for us to cross the river again!" ”

Li You didn't answer, but patiently continued to look at the upstream and downstream directions of the pitch-black chasm, or after never finding any abnormality, Li You said in a deep voice: "Cross the river in turn and attack!" Defeat the thieves on the other side! ”

The horn of the march sounded, and the main force of the Qin army marched quickly, like three swimming dragons, and quickly rushed to the three bridges that had been firmly controlled by the Qin army. Seeing the main force crossing the river for reinforcements, the morale of the Qin army's front army also suddenly soared, and the army was more and more energetic in the battle, and suddenly forced the young marshal army on the opposite side to retreat again and again, and seized a large area of position space for the main force.

"Hold on! Resist! Resist Lao Tzu! Reinforcements are coming! It's coming! ”

"Reinforcements are coming! Resist! Resist! ”

Zhu Jishi's department is still dying, even if it is more than a mile away, Li You can still vaguely hear the desperate shouts of the young marshal soldiers, and of course this also makes Li You more relieved, understanding that the young marshal army was indeed caught off guard by his own killing, rather than deliberately acting to trick his main force to cross the chasm, so Li You no longer has any worries, except for urging the main force to cross the river quickly, and then left the high ground and returned to the army, and personally led the Chinese army to cross the river.

The army was too flustered, and the young marshal's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, of course, it was doomed to be in vain, Li You's handsome banner had just crossed the chasm, and the young marshal army Zhu Jishi's department, which had been struggling for a long time, could no longer support it, and suddenly collapsed, and fled in embarrassment to the direction of the reinforcements coming from the east.

The morale of the Qin army could not stop anything, just saw Zhu Jishi's department collapse and fled to the front, before the Qin army was killed, the reinforcements of the young marshal army who hurriedly came from the Suishui ferry to reinforce had already turned around and ran, and the soldiers of the Qin army chased with all their might, and just rushed to the Suishui ferry with red eyes, saying that they would press the defeated soldiers of the young marshal's army at the ferry and beat them again.

As a result, when they were about to approach the Suishui crossing, the Qin army gradually discovered that the situation was not right, the torches on the north bank of Suishui were very chaotic, but on the south bank of Suishui, rows of neat torches quickly appeared, and at the same time, the defeated soldiers of the young marshal army who seemed to be fleeing in embarrassment were also very calm, not only did not rush to the dense place of torches to seek rescue, but also rushed to the open area to the west, very calmly avoided the situation that the crowd of defeated soldiers overwhelmed the rescue queue.

When the distance was closer, the Qin army's pursuers finally saw the general situation at the Suishui ferry clearly, and what surprised the Qin army officers and soldiers was that on the south bank of the Suishui ferry, there were already a large number of young marshal soldiers waiting for the battle, and there were hundreds of young marshal army chariots lined up in front, and at the same time, Xiang Kang's Xiang Zi Shuai flag with teeth and claws was also directly in the south bank army, clearly telling the Qin army officers and soldiers a cruel fact - the main force of the young marshal army was not in a hurry, but had already made adequate preparations, Rise to the showdown!

"Oops! Maybe you have hit the trick! ”

When Li You came to this conclusion, the young marshal's army immediately sounded the marching war drums in the formation, and when hundreds of cowhide drums beat violently, more than 500 chariots of the young marshal's army immediately charged, surrounded by the infantry brigade of the young marshal's army, and rushed straight towards the Qin army's front army, which had already confused its formation in the pursuit, and at the same time, the defeated soldiers of the young marshal's army, who had been out of breath just now, also immediately turned around, shouting and killing the Qin army's pursuers.

"Catch up, hold on! Kill the thieves and retreat! ”

Li You's eyes were red, knowing that if he turned around and retreated at this time, the Qin army would definitely be defeated and would be unable to clean up immediately, so Li You had no choice but to urge the army to step forward, in a vain attempt to block this wave of offensive of the young marshal's army, and then retreat calmly.

The soldiers of Sanchuan County formed by Li You himself were quite competitive, even though they had begun to panic in their hearts, they still faithfully carried out Li You's orders, bravely faced the difficulties, and forcibly resisted the chariot of the young marshal's army with flesh and blood. It's a pity that courage doesn't play much role at this time, the chariot of the young marshal army has just hit the Qin army column, and many Qin soldiers are either hit by the huge momentum of the chariot and vomit blood, or they are pierced in the chest by the front yoke blade of the chariot, and the queue is suddenly chaotic, and the infantry brigade of the young marshal army behind takes the opportunity to charge up and beat the Qin soldiers who have been disrupted by the chariot.

Of course, the Qin soldiers also resisted bravely, and Li You, who personally formed this Qin army, was also very confident for a while, feeling that the self-army must be very hopeful to block the offensive of the young marshal army, but unfortunately Li You forgot a very fatal problem, his army fought the most beautiful battle Xingyang Defense Battle, fought a battle to defend the city, and was hiding on the city wall to deal with the enemy attacking the city below, and the opponent was far inferior to the rabble of Zhang Chujun, who was far inferior to the young marshal's army, and was not a particularly strong enemy!

The current situation is completely different, Li You's army is forced to fight with the enemy in the field, and there is no longer any condescending geographical advantage, and at the same time, the officers and men of the young marshal army not only far surpass Zhang Chujun's rabble in terms of training, but also far above Li Youjun's actual combat experience in field warfare!

These points doomed the defeat of the Qin army in Sanchuan County, in the fierce battle, the young marshal soldiers with rich experience in the field showed their might, wielding spears and halberds, and beat the Qin army of Sanchuan County, which was accustomed to defending the city, to cry wolf howl, and retreated, no matter how the generals of the Qin army urged and persecuted, they kept the queue strictly in order, and were defeated by the young marshal army soldiers one after another, and the soldiers and soldiers continued to escape from the brigade one after another. The situation of the Qin army led by Shi Xi and Guan Kong was even worse, and they could not even maintain the minimum battle queue, and they were turned around and killed back to the young marshal's army and rushed back to retreat quickly, and they could only be forced to move closer to the main force.

In order not to suffer greater losses, Li You was still gritting his teeth and insisting, still fantasizing that his army would be able to repel the attack of the young marshal's army, and then retreat calmly. It's a pity that the soldiers of the Qin army, who are full of ideals, realistic bones, experience and combat effectiveness, no matter how dying they are, have never been able to stop the offensive of the young marshal army, on the contrary, they were killed and wounded by the young marshal soldiers, and their positions were seriously shaken, and they gradually showed signs of collapse.

"The county guard, I can't stand it, I have to retreat immediately! Otherwise, as soon as our army collapses, this battle will be completely unfought!! ”

The suggestion of his subordinates made Li You close his eyes in pain, but when things came to this point, Li You had no choice but to let his own soldiers hurriedly ring the golden cymbals and retreat with the army, fortunately, the Qin army still had some army queues and formations intact, although the young marshal's army immediately launched a pursuit, no matter how quickly the Qin army fled and how hurriedly it retreated, it did not completely collapse, and there was a situation where Li You was most worried about the defeat of the army.

Then Li You quickly discovered that he still seriously underestimated Xiang Kang's ruthlessness, and when the Qin army began to retreat, a huge fire suddenly rose on the shore of Suishui behind Xiang Kang, sending out some kind of signal. Immediately afterwards, there was no movement in the east and west directions, and there was a sudden killing sound, a young marshal army infantry suddenly killed from the west, and a cavalry of the young marshal's army killed from the east, one left and one right to the main force of the Qin army, which was rapidly retreating.

Originally suffered a defeat and was forced to retreat, the army was already very panicked, the young marshal army ambush that had been standing still before suddenly killed left and right, no matter how tenacious the nerves of the Qin army soldiers were, at this moment it was completely broken, before the ambush of the young marshal army was killed, the Qin army brigade had already been in chaos on its own, and when Xiang Guan took the lead in the cavalry of the young marshal army to rush into the crowd of the Qin army and kill people with a knife, the Qin army finally completely collapsed, the men and horses galloped, shouting and screaming, and the mess was just a crazy escape to the way they came, and the young marshal army took the opportunity to cover up and kill, the Qin army was completely defeated, and Li You had no choice but to temporarily put down the handsome banner, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he hid in the chaotic army and fled to the chasm ferry.

Seeing that the former army suddenly turned into a defeat, the officers and soldiers of the Qin army who had stayed at the ferry finally took their duty and immediately formed a formation to protect the ferry bridge, in a vain attempt to temporarily block the pursuit of the young marshal's army, and buy time for the main force of the army to cross the river and retreat. However, the Qin army of Sanchuan County, which still lacked actual combat experience, quickly understood that on the battlefield where life and death hung on the line, the most terrifying thing was not the enemy who was killed head-on, but the defeated soldiers of their own country!

"Help! Help me! The traitor is here, save me! ”

Crying and shouting, the crowd of the defeated army of the Qin army, which was panicked, directly hit the array of the rear army of the Qin army with a fierce and fierce head, knocked over the long shield, and disrupted the crossbow team of the Qin army with a crossbow and arrows, and then disrupted the infantry brigade of the rear army, and there was no way to form a formation to fight again, and the morale of the army was seriously affected by the defeat of their own army, and the soldiers of the rear army of the Qin army couldn't help but flee for their lives, and were swept by the crowd to the only three bridges on the chasm river.

The next scene, for Li You, the second generation of the most competitive officials in Great Qin, is undoubtedly the Shura Hell that he didn't dare to imagine in a nightmare, scrambling to go to the bridge to escape for his life, the soldiers of the Qin army pushed me, trampled on each other, were trampled to death and injured countless times, and there were countless people who fell into the chasm and drowned, and the young marshal soldiers slashed and killed on the east bank of the chasm, killing the defeated soldiers of the Qin army who had no way out to the point that the corpses were full of ditches and blood pools. The scene was so miserable that even though Li You relied on the protection of his own soldiers and escaped the chasm by luck, he couldn't help but kneel on the west bank of the chasm and cry loudly, howling in despair......

"Soldiers! Soldiers of Mikawa-gun! I'm sorry for you! It was I who fell for Xiang Kang's traitorous tricks, and I made you like this, and I made you like this! ”

Li You's heartfelt frantic crying made the soldiers of the Qin army next to him couldn't help but cry and cry bitterly, but unfortunately this still couldn't change the doom of the Qin army's fiasco. That night, the 22,000 Qin soldiers who crossed the chasm, and finally escaped the chasm, there were only about 8,000 people left, Li You's beloved two generals Shi Xi and Guan Kong were both killed, and the corpses of the Qin soldiers of Sanchuan County blocked the river, almost making the river water of the chasm unable to flow, and completely dyed the surface of the chasm river that King Wei Hui and the people of Wei had worked so hard to dig pink......

This is not over, early the next morning, the young marshal army Feng Zhong, who did not participate in the battle last night, quickly crossed the west bank of the gap between Gushui and Suishui, and prepared to launch a large-scale attack on Li Youjun again, Li You, who was greatly injured, did not dare to fight, and before Feng Zhong's troops crossed the chasm, he immediately abandoned the camp and hurriedly retreated to Daliang with the rest of the army, Feng Zhong seized the fighter, threw down his baggage and chased after him, and defeated Li You again under the city of Daliang, completely crushing the possibility of Li Youjun entangled the main force of the young marshal's army.

That night, after receiving the news of Feng Zhong's victory again, Xiang Kang made up his mind and calculated how to go north to reinforce Wei Qi, and continue to entangle Zhang Han's main force for himself with the help of Wei and Qi's strength, but before Xiang Kang and Chen Ping could discuss any safe rescue plan, a young marshal sent to the northern front to listen to the news hurriedly returned to Chenliu, bringing Xiang Kang a shocking news - it was also last night when the young marshal's army broke Li You, Zhang Han actually defeated the Wei Qi coalition army in one fell swoop, also killed the Wei Qi coalition army, which had more than 100,000 troops, and the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

"Is the message accurate?" Xiang Kang's face was a little pale and he asked carefully: "The defeat of the Wei Qi coalition army was seen with your own eyes?" Or is it hearsay? ”

"Back to the young marshal, the villain saw it with his own eyes!" Wipe the sweat and said: "As soon as the villain confirmed the fiasco of the Weiqi coalition army, he immediately came back to report the news, but the villain didn't have a horse and didn't dare to take the big road, so he delayed until now to send the news." ”

Xiang Kang hung his head helplessly and sighed, first let the very conscientious meticulous work go down to rest and receive the reward, and then sent someone to give Feng Zhong an order overnight, asking Feng Zhong to quickly withdraw to Chen Liu with the army to join the main force, and then turned to Chen Ping and said: "Mr. Chen Ping, it seems that I am going to be sorry for you this time, since the Weiqi coalition army has been defeated, not only do I dare not go north to save Linji, but I have to retreat quickly, otherwise, my army will definitely be the next Weiqi coalition army." ”

Chen Ping's expression was more depressed than Xiang Kang's, and he gave up his hand for a while before he said: "Young marshal, you have done your best, the little envoy doesn't dare to be demanding, and you don't dare to force your army to go north to die in vain, you should think about how to withdraw as soon as possible, the little envoy is not qualified to blame you." After all, with your current strength, going to a decisive battle with Zhang Handpifu's main force is no different from hitting a stone with an egg. ”
