Chapter 46: The Three Armies Converge
The defeat was like a landslide.
In the battlefield with a shocking sound of killing, Lu Kang rode his horse and fled wildly, and Ji Xuanling chased after him with a spear.
Like a mighty lion in the grassland, chasing two fleeing antelopes.
Life and death are at stake!
The nearby Tiger Ben army, which was fighting fiercely with the Qin army, noticed that the main general, the deputy general, was evacuated in embarrassment during the pursuit of the Qin army commander.
In an instant, the fighting spirit dissipated, and they fled in a hurry, how dare they fight for a long time.
At the beginning, only a few tiger ben bravely withdrew, and gradually, the influence continued to expand, and finally all the fierce tiger ben army collapsed, and turned around to chase the pace of the main general.
In the past, the tiger army, which was brave and good at fighting and had high morale, seemed to encounter a group of demons at this time, and one by one they were panicked, and they kept following the side and resisting, and fled south in a panic.
Here, Ji Xuanling's spear is like a dragon, as fast as a strong wind, as fierce as a mountain, stabbing and sweeping, and one after another fierce and domineering slashes to kill the tiger army that hinders his pursuit.
All the way south, many tiger soldiers who did not know the current affairs let the spears fly, like a strong wind rolling up the withered yellow leaves on the ground.
Invincible, no one can match it.
How could the Tiger Ben Army collapse and flee like an avalanche, there were too many fetters ahead, Ji Xuanling fought a bloody way, and in the blink of an eye, he was drowned by the Tiger Ben Army fleeing in all directions.
Ji Xuanling chased and killed half a mile, followed by Lu Kang, and got out early, watching the two of them ride away.
"Hmph, if you want to escape, you have to leave half your life behind!"
With an angry snort, Ji Xuanling sneered, raised his hand to stab the spear into the ground, grabbed the Tuomu strong bow hanging in the saddle, pulled out the arrow from the arrow box, put it on the longbow, and pulled the Tuomu strong bow to shoot to the side.
One by one, shoot three arrows in a row to ensure that the stab is followed.
Ji Xuanling turned his head and glared at Lu Kang, who was fleeing in embarrassment, and said coldly with a strange expression: "Today, and spare your life, he will definitely let you serve under the king's account." ”
Lu Kang is a good seedling, he is reluctant to kill this guy, not to mention, the strategy of subduing Lu Kang gradually grows in his heart.
Sitting on horseback, he continuously pulled his longbow and shot the fleeing tiger army in all directions, striving to expand the results of the battle.
The Tiger Ben Army, which fled in a panic, was like a felled tree in the monstrous flood pursuit of the Qin army behind them, and fell their horses one after another at a gallop.
Chasing four or five miles, Cao Jian'an rode a horse to chase after him, his face was bloodstained, his cloak was like splashing ink and becoming more and more dark, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, you can't pursue anymore, this place is very close to Yicheng, in addition to the border with the leading troops, there may be other generals leading the army." ”
They led the vanguard and advanced into Qiushui County for hundreds of miles, far from each other, if they met the Tiger Ben army again, the Qin army, which had been fighting hard for a day and night, was afraid that they would not have the energy to fight again.
"What are you afraid of!"
Ji Xuanling's face did not change, he was fearless, and commanded coldly: "The Qin army has suppressed the Tiger Ben Army for several years, and finally defeated the Tiger Ben Army, you should raise your eyebrows and enjoy the pleasure of capturing the captives!" ”
In this battle, the Tiger Ben army that shook southern Xinjiang with a heavy defeat of the outnumbered people greatly restored the self-confidence and fighting spirit of the Qin army.
To further restore the self-confidence of the Qin army, nothing gives the Qin army a greater sense of accomplishment than wantonly capturing prisoners on the battlefield.
He didn't want to miss the opportunity.
"General Cao, inform the three armies, in the pursuit, the war horses and ordnance obtained do not need to be confiscated, they are all private trophies."
"Whoa!"
Cao Jian'an learned that Wang Shang's thoughts, swept away the gloom on his face, turned around and raised his sword and roared: "Wu Yuankui, take the Snapdragon Army to the front to be vigilant, and the remaining Qin Army captures the prisoners...!" ”
The military order was conveyed to the whole army, and the murderous Qin army became more and more wild, and the killing became more and more ruthless in order to snatch the good horses that the tiger army rode on.
After chasing and killing for dozens of miles, watching Lu Kang, and going away with the leading troops, Ji Xuanling ordered the Qin army to stop the pursuit and rest and rectify in place.
At noon, the sun was shining.
In the open wilderness, the blood was surging to the sky, the corpses were all over, the blood stained the official road red, the stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere, and the blood was pooled, reflecting how tragic this battle was.
In this battle, the Qin army won a great victory.
Ji Xuanling instructed Ruan Xinghe to lead the Black Flag Army, the Xiaowu Army to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties of the Qin army, and send Cao Jian'an to bring the Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers, and the Snapdragon Army to guard in situ, set up camp, and wait for Wei Kang to lead the main force to come.
After cleaning the battlefield and counting the casualties of the Qin army, Ji Xuanling found that the Qin army suffered a lot of casualties.
The most elite Iron Eagle Warrior, and he charged into battle after the loss of two percent, Wu Yuankui led the Snapdragon Army, after a hard battle, there were only more than 100 people left, Ruan Xinghe led the Black Flag Army, Xiaowu Army, almost more than half of the casualties.
In the early morning, the 7,000 Qin troops gathered were only in their early 3,000s.
More than half of the casualties were a bit big for the Qin army.
When Ji Xuanling learned of the casualties of the Qin army, his demeanor was gloomy, cold, and silent, so that Ruan Xinghe and Cao Jian'an couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Before the imperial expedition, he had already prepared for the heavy casualties of the Qin army.
If the Qin army wants to become strong quickly and restore its former fighting spirit, only by experiencing the tempering of blood and fire, retaining its courage after fierce battles, and eliminating weak soldiers, can the overall strength of the Qin army become strong quickly.
In this battle, the Qin army also benefited a lot, greatly restored the momentum of the three armies, and annihilated nearly twice the Tiger Ben army, captured more than 5,000 prisoners, captured more than 4,000 war horses, and captured countless ordnance.
The rich harvest greatly alleviated the plight of the Qin army's lack of military horses in battle, and many soldiers in the Xiaowu army also took the opportunity to change their weapons.
At the end of the discussion, while the army was resting, Ji Xuanling instructed Ruan Xinghe to distribute the war horses to the infantry in the army, and the remaining military horses and ordnance were left for the main army.
Twilight!
Birds and crows hovered in the sky, swooping down from time to time, cutting off pieces of flesh and blood on some stumps that had not been discovered by the Qin army.
In the sunset of Qi Hong, Yang Jingluo and Ji Liankai led the army from the east and west wings one after another.
When the two Qin armies appeared, they looked like the remnants of fleeing soldiers, one by one with tattered battle armor, covered in blood, and their heads scattered.
Under the sloppy uniforms, all the soldiers were brave but high in momentum and high morale.
The head of the Tiger Ben army was hung in the saddle of each war horse of the cavalry, and the bloody head was tied around the waist of the infantry, as if to show off their exploits.
The number of tiger armies killed by the two Qin armies was far inferior to Ji Xuanling, and the Qin army led by Ruan Xinghe, after counting the heads brought back, also killed four or five thousand people respectively.
At the same time, the 20,000 Qin troops who fought in the battle, in the battlefield, almost killed 1,000 enemies, and lost 800 themselves.
In this way, they captured a lot of horses, spears, lances, iron swords, and longbows, and recaptured the grain that had been plundered by the Tiger Army.
The exploits are enough to make people cheer!
At night, Wei Che led the main force of the Qin army and rushed from the north.
Along the way, Weichen led the troops to march non-stop, hoping to catch up with the vanguard soldiers as soon as possible.
Wang Shang was a fledgling, regardless of the dangerous environment, led the Qin army to chase and kill the tiger army in Qiushui County, he was afraid that the king was young and vigorous, and led the troops to go deep alone, and he was afraid of encountering the brave and good fighting tiger army, and was hit by its counterattack.
