Volume 1 The Country Breaks Mountains and Rivers in Chapter 72 Wenbo

As a person who often deals with the Qin people, Xiyan Wanhai knows that the thinking of the Rong people is generally simpler.

What distinguishes them from the Qin army is that when they kill the enemy, the soldiers can disregard their lives, and after receiving the order, they will move forward with their enthusiasm.

But when it comes to protecting their belongings, soldiers can also disregard their lives, regardless of military orders, they will only care about their belongings or food being plundered by others, and will not think about anything else.

So instead of ordering the soldiers to stop looting the land and losing their support, it is better to let everyone go for the rich spoils of war, and the consequence of this will be that the soldiers will be more grateful to them.

Thinking about it this way, what use is the corpse of those Qin soldiers to himself.

This is the thinking of the Rong people, the habitual thinking of plundering wealth and robbing the population for hundreds of years.

It was precisely this kind of thinking that made Xiyan Wanhai swallow the bitter fruit he had planted.

In less than half an hour, the soldiers looking for their belongings were all over the place, as if they were in a pot of porridge in the market.

There were even people fighting each other over one or two items.

However, the rebels under Han Linhui were still more restrained, and the Qin army's strict cool law had already become an iron law in their hearts, even though they looked at the Rong people around them with envy, they still picked up some baggage and looted some money and did nothing.

They didn't have much interest in those helmets and armor, so at this time, they stood together like a clear stream in this pot of porridge, watching the excitement.

Jiang Hong on the mountain watched the movement under the mountain, and finally thought of the words to deal with it, and was about to give the order to let his soldiers and horses go down the mountain, but suddenly found that some figures faintly appeared in the woods on the east side.

Those figures flickered in Jiang Hong's eyes, making him immediately understand Qin Jun's plan, and he couldn't help but mutter, "I see."

Unfortunately, although Jiang Hong understood the Qin army's plan at this time, it was too late, and Xiyan Wanhai and those commanders, Han Linhui, and the soldiers who were still fighting for property under the mountain were still in the dark.

Until the sound of the Great Qin Iron Horse shaking the heavens and the earth reached everyone's ears.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qin army was killing his army, Xiyan Wanhai instinctively ordered the soldiers to quickly form a formation, but after a long time, Xiyan Wanhai found that the soldiers were no longer able to form a formation.

Because these soldiers had already been crowded together in confusion, the soldiers and horses of the original front and left and right armies were mixed together, the archers and the stick and axe soldiers were mixed together, and the commanders, centurions, and soldiers were mixed together.

These 10,000 people are huddled together, and it is not easy to separate and form a formation.

I only heard the shouts of the lieutenant generals of the army looking for soldiers and soldiers looking for generals intertwined, which perfectly interpreted the meaning of the word chaos.

Seeing this chaotic situation, Xiyan Wanhai had no choice but to let the herald soldiers around him blow the horn of withdrawal.

"Woo woo".

After hearing only three horns of withdrawal, more than 10,000 soldiers turned around and squeezed towards the valley.

But where is it so easy for 10,000 people to retreat, and in a state of chaos, the scene of you fighting for me once again appeared in the eyes of Xiyan Wanhai.

Seeing the cavalry of the Qin army swarming and stepping on, Xiyan Wanhai's eyes were black and he was about to plant his horse.

At a critical juncture, Xiyan Wanhai suddenly saw that a team on the left side of the army had lined up in an array, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was Han Linhui's Qin team.

Overjoyed in his heart, he came to Han Linhui's military formation with the banner of the Chinese army.

At this time, the two thousand Qin cavalry who had almost arrived in front of the Rong people also discovered this army lined up, so they quickly adjusted their direction and rushed towards the right side of the Rong people.

Infantry and cavalry without an array would have been a loseable situation, and without an array and with their backs to the cavalry, it would have been a mortal situation.

Xiyan Wanhai saw in despair that those cavalry stabbed out the Changge in their hands, and after assassinating the fleeing Rong soldiers in front of them, they did not continue to rush into the Rong army, but just drew their waist knives one after another, and kept slashing back and forth behind the dense Rong army.

Compared with this, he was even more desperate to see that the Qin infantry who came out of the woods not far away had already lined up in a charging array and walked briskly in the direction of his army.

I can't run away, so it's better to fight than to be annihilated here.

Xiyan Wankai quickly gave the order and ordered the whole army to charge.

After the order was issued, some of the soldiers of the Rong people who only knew how to flee for their lives raised their weapons one after another, and turned around and killed the cavalry of the Qin State and the infantry of the Qin State in the distance. But the vast majority of the soldiers had already been frightened by the sudden arrival of the Qin army, and without the supervision and restraint of the centurions and thousand-commanders around them, which one dared to turn around and face the battle.

The fleeing Rong people in the valley road became more crowded.

Watching the scattered soldiers slaughtering the Qin army, Xiyan Wanhai's heart was even more sad, and at this moment he could also see clearly that the 10,000 Qin troops on the opposite side rushed towards his place with murderous energy. Xiyan Wanhai closed his eyes, although Han Linhui's soldiers had already lined up, but with three thousand against ten thousand, the outcome of the war was already doomed.

"Captain".

At this moment, there was a shout behind him, and Xiyan Wanhai turned around and saw a Qin cavalry on a war horse running towards him in the distance.

He frowned, looked carefully, and realized that the cavalry was Jiang Hong's subordinate on the mountain.

Fang Cai Xiyan Wanhai wanted to wait for the army to return before dealing with Jiang Hong, but when he saw Jiang Hong's soldiers at this time, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Commander Wan, Marquis Jiang asks you to retreat to the mountains quickly, and the Marquis of Han Linhui has also completed the assembly of his soldiers in Benqu, and he will be the commander of Wanfu."

After the cavalry who came to him finished speaking in a hurry, he looked at Xiyan Wanhai.

When the interpreter beside him conveyed what the soldier said, Xiyan Wanhai did not hesitate, he looked back at the direction of the mountain, and then led the banner of the Chinese army to quickly beat his horse in the direction that had been determined.

Before leaving, Xiyan Wanhai suddenly saw that the rebels of the Qin State who he had originally despised in his heart were not hanging large and small bits and pieces like those fleeing Rong people, they were still the same as when they came, with armor on their bodies, weapons in their hands, and nothing else.

Han Linhui, who was in the distance, also shouted loudly to Xiyan Wanhai: "Captain Wan, don't worry, there is our army garrison here, and we will definitely hold out until Captain Wan's body retreats." ”

At this moment, a different emotion suddenly rose in Xiyan Wanhai's heart, and after hearing what Han Linhui said, in addition to gratitude, he also had respect for these Qin people under his command.

"After I go up the mountain, your troops must not fight the enemy to the death, and retreat to the mountain after quickly leaving the battlefield." Xiyan Wanhai finally turned his head and said to Han Linhui after taking a few steps from the horse.

"However, in this way, those ......." Han Linhui opened his mouth to say this, and saw Xiyan Wanhai shaking his hand and walking farther and farther.

Han Linhui looked at the friendly troops on the right who were fighting or fleeing, and those friendly soldiers who refused to give up their belongings to death couldn't help but show a wry smile.

As the cavalry no longer turned back and slashed the Rong people, the 10,000 Qin army foot soldiers killed into the Rong crowd. At this time, although the Rong people were either dead or fleeing, the number of the two armies outside the valley was not much different, but one side was like a rainbow, and the other side only wanted to flee, and the battle became a one-sided massacre.

Rao is part of the Rong people were still brave before they died, and they dared to turn around and fight back. Most of the rest of the Rong people only used their last strength to try to escape, but how could the dozens of catties of armor and baggage they were carrying on their bodies make them run faster than the Qin army.

As far as the eye can see, except for the fierce battle between Han Linhui's troops and the Qin army, the rest of the battlefield is full of Qin troops slashing and killing Rong people.

Two hours later, there were few Rong people left outside the valley, and most of the Qin army also rushed into the valley road under the leadership of the cavalry and killed them to the west.

There was also a part of the Qin army that followed the retreat of Han Linhui's soldiers to the south of the mountain.

An hour later, as the sun set in the west, the Qin army stopped attacking and retreated.

Xiyan Wanhai stood on top of the mountain with Jiang Hong and Han Linhui, at this moment there were less than 3,000 soldiers left around them, watching the Qin army under the mountain blocking the way down the mountain, the three of them only had despair left in their hearts.

Towards sunset, the three of them found that the Qin army's pursuing army had returned from the west, and after they joined up with the Qin army at the foot of the mountain, they completely besieged their place.

At the same time, their return also means that all the defeated soldiers in the valley have been killed, except for the part that fled back to Qingshui City.

This battle, they lost, completely lost.

And if Wenbo's cavalry does not come to the rescue of him, then his own side will end in the annihilation of the whole army. Xiyan Wanhai understood that since the army had advanced eastward, there had never been a situation where the Xia State had been completely annihilated.

This is the first honor, he doesn't want to do.

Thinking of Wen Bo, Xiyan Wanhai already hated him to the core, five full hours had passed from noon to this moment, and the sky was already dark, and there were no less than 100 scouts sent by him to let them come to the rescue.

But the Wenbo army didn't even send back any news, which made Xiyan Wanhai how could he not hate.

In fact, Wen Bo also has his own difficulties, just when the Xiyan Wanhai army fell into the Qin army's counterattack and was surrounded by the mountain, there was no such person as Wen Bo in this world.

Neither Xiyan Wanhai nor Wen Bo and others knew that during this period of time, the Qin army first showed weakness to the enemy, making the Rong people think that they were feintting to attack Qingshui, but in fact, the purpose of the Qin army was to hide soldiers.

The distance between Crow and Qingshui County is only ten miles, and although there are some small hills in between, their every move will be discovered by the Rong scouts.

Therefore, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the scouts of the Rong people, the Qin army secretly hid part of its troops in the mountains east of Crow Xian every day after withdrawing, which is why Wu Meng's soldiers and horses would decrease every day.

After the Rong people pursued Wu Meng's army, the hidden soldiers and horses, and the troops of Lihua and Xie Yun, totaling 9,000 people, moved against Wen Bo, who was blocking in front of the crows.
