Chapter 36: Victory
At this stage of the battle for Huayin, although the winner has not really been decided, for the soldiers of the Huashan Army who followed Li Xin, the word defeat already explained everything. At this time, the morale was greatly boosted, and everyone chased out of the city and launched a counterattack.
"Kill!" Li Xin and Zhou Tong both took the lead, and the two charged forward and killed the enemy. Those Di Qin soldiers who were fleeing, at this time, when the army was in turmoil, were rushed and killed like this again, and when they heard this earth-shaking shouting and killing, they fled faster for a while.
At this time, the trebuchets in the city finally stopped, and more than 1,000 people of the Huashan army also engaged the enemy. One side is like a rainbow, but the other side is demoralized, and only thinks about escaping, and the result is naturally conceivable.
Zhu Lin and Dong Xiu, who were originally behind the army, were rushed by the chaotic army at this time, and they were already in the midst of the enemy army. Although they scolded and reprimanded each other, they could no longer gather the rebels. At this time, after the trebuchet stopped, they finally seized the slightest opportunity.
"Stop! If you dare to run away, Ben will kill you! Zhu Lin grabbed a Qin soldier who was running backwards and said angrily.
When the soldier saw the knife in his hand, he couldn't help but be terrified, and had no choice but to turn around and run back. And Dong Xiu on the other side was the same, with his own soldiers, wanting to drive those chaotic troops back.
It's a pity that the general trend is like this, even if they want to rein in the rebellious army, Li Xin will not give him time. At this time, the two of them were already in the midst of the chaos, and when they saw the enemy, they were slashed indiscriminately, and the place they passed was as if they had entered a no-man's land. Especially those Qin soldiers who had seen the two of them powerful, at this time, when they saw these two killing gods killed, they didn't dare to stay at all.
"No, if we continue like this, we must be defeated!" Zhu Lin looked at the situation in front of him, although he killed several fleeing soldiers in a row, he still couldn't stop the trend of retreat.
"There's no way, the army is in chaos, it's dark, we can't stop it, let's retreat to Fuxi County first! Wait until after dawn, and then come to clean up the defeated army, and plan for the future! Although Dong Xiu was anxious, he was also afraid that he would run slowly and die here, so he suggested.
"Hateful! Let's go! Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he also understood that this was a good point, and after a little hesitation, he could only say helplessly.
As soon as they ran, the whole situation had no chance to be reversed. Li Xin and Zhou Tong gradually divided into two teams, closely following the enemy and chasing after them. It didn't take long for them to chase all the way to the edge of the long stream, and many rebels jumped into the water in order to escape for their lives, and many were washed away by the current.
Zhu Lin and Dong Xiu were on horseback, so they naturally ran fast, and they ran across the bridge first, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief. But what they didn't expect was that at this moment, there was a shout in the direction of Fuxi County, which immediately startled them.
"Oh no, there's an ambush here!" Zhu Lin and Dong Xiu looked at each other and said in shock.
As soon as the words fell, there was already a sound of fighting in front, only to see that there seemed to be countless figures rushing from the front, and those Qin soldiers who fled in front fell to the ground one after another, obviously unstoppable. At this moment, the fleeing Qin rebels suddenly panicked, and when there was a strong enemy in front of the pursuers, they had no way to escape.
Naturally, it was Tu Qi who was killed suddenly, and he had been waiting for a long time to lead people. When he saw the rebels coming, he immediately led people out to kill them. At this time, Li Xin had already caught up behind him, and led the army to kill the chaotic army to the point that people were on their backs.
"Zhou Tong, follow me to take down the enemy general!" Li Xin saw at a glance that there were two horseback warriors at the head of the bridge, and shouted to Zhou Tong.
When Zhou Tong heard this, he immediately picked up the war knife in his hand, killed all the way, and crossed the river with Li Xinshuang. Wherever they passed, no one dared to stand in their way.
Zhu Lin and Dong Xiu at the bridgehead were anxious when they suddenly saw the two thieves killing them viciously, and they immediately realized their thoughts. Zhu Lin suddenly said angrily: "What a bold anti-thief, it's just too much of a deception!" ”
The two of them rode on their horses, and they didn't think about escaping, and they also knew that as long as the two thieves in front of them were cut off under their horses, the battle would be won by themselves.
Li Xin didn't say a word, and when he saw the enemy coming, he didn't touch the other party, after all, people are on the horse, and they are on the ground, and they will suffer. Seeing a spear from a distance, he immediately turned sideways, and the knife in his hand slashed towards the horse. Judging from his situation, this was obviously very unfavorable, and sure enough, before the knife touched the opponent, the enemy general swung the spear in his hand and opened the knife.
Fortunately, Li Xin didn't expect this knife to take down the enemy general, and the knife in his hand was slightly withdrawn, and he stabbed it under the horse's belly instead. The horse was in pain, and suddenly the man stood up, and the enemy general fell off the horse's back without being caught off guard. Before he could get up, Li Xin rushed forward and killed him with a knife.
Zhou Tong on the other side was simpler, and when he saw Dong Xiu coming over, he didn't say a word, and threw the spear in his hand as a javelin, towards Dong Xiu's chest. At such a close distance, Dong Xiu didn't have time to let the horse run, and a powerful spear directly pierced him in the heart!
As soon as the main general died, some of the chaotic troops around him who had just been collected still had any intention to fight back, and they immediately became in chaos. The entire Changjian River was in chaos on both sides, Li Xin led people to chop melons and vegetables, and killed for a while, most of the people jumped into the river, killing and wounding many people, in addition, more than 1,000 prisoners were also captured.
"Tu Qi, Tian He, the two of you will take a brigade to clean up the battlefield, but bring me anything useful back to the city. Zhou Tong, you take 400 people to escort these captives back to the city for resettlement, but anyone who resists the attack will be killed on the spot! I'll take the rest of the people to support Dongcheng! The battle was soon over, Li Xin looked around, only sporadic shouts of killing remained, and immediately gave a new order.
The battle on the West Side ended relatively quickly, so the East City side didn't know about it at all. According to the pre-war arrangement, Li Xin and the others focused on both sides, and Dongcheng was mainly defensive, as long as the enemy could not enter. But Xicheng not only had to defend, at the beginning, Li Xin thought about annihilating these enemies, so that he could achieve the greatest results.
By the time he arrived in Dongcheng, the battle in the city was fierce, but compared to Xicheng, the casualties of the Huashan army in Dongcheng were lower, mainly because Fu Yun's attack was more conservative this time. After Li Xin brought people over, without saying a word, he directly ordered the people to open the city gate, and then took the power of a great victory and took nearly 1,500 people out of the city directly.
The Qin soldiers outside the eastern city didn't expect this move, and suddenly they were caught off guard, and Li Xin had already led people to kill them. On this small ground outside the East City, nearly 4,000 people poured in at once, and the density can be imagined.
Li Xin and Li Erhei did not meet at all, and in this situation, needless to say, the defenders of Dongcheng also understood that Xicheng was a big victory. The excitement and fighting spirit of the army shook those enemies. They are not stupid, seeing that the enemy suddenly has so many more, they naturally roughly understand what is going on.
"It's not good, the anti-thieves are powerful, General Zhu and General Dong are bound to fail! The siege is unfavorable, do not stay for a long time, retreat immediately! Fu Yun, who was supervising the battle behind enemy lines, was shocked when he saw this scene. seemed to think that he had been captured by the thieves in the first place, and the shadow in his heart had not passed, so he immediately decided to retreat.
"What did General Fu say? Now that the chaotic army is out of the city, let's just take advantage of the situation to kill the enemy, don't we just avoid the burden of attacking the city? Even if General Zhu and their side fail, as long as we win the battle and recapture Huayin City, the great credit will be yours and me! General Fu Hugh is going to panic, and when Ben will go to cut off the head of the anti-thief! Lin Yi, who was under the command of Yuzhou Thorn Shi, heard this, but he objected. As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on his horse and went out.
Unfortunately, there were so many people here that he had only walked a few steps on horseback before he had to dismount and fight. With a knife in his hand, he slashed and killed several Huashan Army soldiers one after another, which immediately attracted Li Erhei's attention, and even if he abandoned the enemy in his hands, he killed him all the way.
To say that Li Erhei is a natural offensive general, these days he is just defending the city, but he is suffocated. But because of this, Lin Yi basically didn't see Li Erhei exert his extraordinary combat power, otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of personally going out to kill the thief.
Soon, the two sides met, Li Erhei smiled at the enemy general, and the knife in his hand slashed over. That Lin Yiben is also a tall and big person, and when he saw this scene, he didn't take it to heart, and raised the knife in his hand. When the two knives struck each other, Lin Yi found that he was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong.
"Ding!" With a bang, Lin Yi only felt a strong force attacking, and his entire arm was numb, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Just as he was about to fight back, Li Erhei had already quickly withdrawn his knife, and before the other party could react, a knife slashed through his neck.
"Crazy, it must be crazy, I said that he retreated, he had to kill the thief, now it's okay, even give his own life! No, I can't stay here and die! Withdraw troops, withdraw troops, and the whole army withdraws to Tongguan! Fu Yun originally had a little hope, but seeing this Lin Yi at this time was like a showcase, he gave away the head as soon as he closed it, and immediately even the last bit of thought disappeared.
After loudly ordering the withdrawal of the troops, he turned around and ran in the direction of Tongguan with his own soldiers first, ignoring the large armies behind him. After the Qin troops under the city found out about this scene, they immediately abandoned their armor and fled in the direction of Tongguan.
