"The Qin army has withdrawn! The Qin army withdrew! ”

Around two o'clock, several Wei scouts hurried back to Yangguan, shouting as they ran.

At this time, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Le Jin, Tang Zhi, Cao Chun, Cai Cheng and others were sitting around a bonfire in the pass, laughing with each other while waiting for the Qin army to evacuate.

As soon as they heard the words of those Wei army scouts, these generals immediately restrained their smiles, and saw that they immediately summoned those scouts to the front, and said, "The Qin army has withdrawn? See it with your own eyes? ”

The scouts explained with a serious expression: "The Qin army did not light the torches, so we couldn't see it really, but at least we heard the movement of tens of thousands of people evacuating clearly......

From the side, Hua Hu casually threw the firewood in his hand into the bonfire, stood up and said, "Don't worry, this won't be a trick of the Qin army." …… The Qin army was exhausted, and Ah Zhong expected that they would definitely evacuate tonight. If he doesn't withdraw tonight, Ah Zhong will also launch a counterattack tomorrow, and the situation of the Qin army will be even more disadvantaged...... I think that Bai Qi should also understand this. ”

As soon as the words fell, Le Jin also stood up and said with a smile: "Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it!" …… Tang Sima? ”

Tang Zhi understood, stood up and hugged his fists towards Meng Hu, Cao Chun, Hua Hu, and Cai Cheng, and said with a smile: "Then, Tang and Le Sima will take the first step and leave you for the time being." ”

"I'll go with you. …… Cai Cheng. ”

shouted the deputy general Cai Cheng, and Hua Hu also left with Tang Zhi, Le Jin and others, leaving only Meng Hu and Cao Chun sitting by the bonfire.

After all, their task was to lead the cavalry from Niuweipo to Wancheng, on the one hand, to contain the Qin army in Wancheng, and on the other hand, to cut off Bai Qi's way back, as for the pursuit of Bai Qi, but they did not need to intervene, so there was no need to rush out of the pass.

"I don't understand why Ah Zhong told us to go to Wancheng. …… Lao Tang and Lejin's kid didn't care, let Huahu's gang rob the credit, so unwilling. ”

Looking at the back of Hua Hu and the others leaving, Meng Hu complained with some envy.

Hearing this, Cao Chun said with a smile: "Bai Qi's army is already a lost dog and is doomed to defeat, but Bai Qi may not be able to escape, I think it is with this in mind that the Fang Cheng Order asked you and me to go to Wancheng to set up an ambush." By the way, let's take a look at the situation over there in Wancheng...... Didn't Fang Chengling say that if Sima Co wanted to save Bai Qi, he would inevitably be stationed in Wancheng, and when the time came, we would need to contain the Qin army in Wancheng and cut off Bai Qi's way back. ”

Meng Hu smacked his lips when he heard this, and said with a strange expression: "Old tyrant, you can't let Sima get rid of it so easily, right?" ”

Cao Chun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the old tyrant in Menghu's mouth was referring to the big Sima Storm Kite in South Korea, and said with a smile: "Who knows." Anyway, in my opinion, the Koreans are not very reliable...... Last year, those Koreans soon avoided the Qin army without fighting, and gave Wancheng away, leaving my Fangcheng alone to face more than 200,000 Qin-Chu coalition troops? ”

"Yes." Meng Hu nodded.

A moment later, Tang Zhi and Le Jin picked up their soldiers and led them straight to the valley mouth station outside the valley, where the Qin army's main formation was located during the siege battle in recent days.

At this time, there were still a few Qin soldiers guarding the Gukou station, but there were not many of them, only a few hundred, so they were easily defeated by Tang Zhi and Le Jin.

After occupying the Taniguchi station, Tang Zhi and Le Jin were cautious, and stopped for a moment to carefully check the movement in the direction of Fangcheng.

Although Hua Hu insisted that the Qin army had nothing to do, Meng Zhong also said that the Qin army might not ambush his Wei army during the retreat, although in the current situation, even if the Qin army set up an ambush, it would not be able to save the defeat, but this did not prevent Bai Qi from taking the opportunity to kill more Wei pawns - don't forget, one of the purposes of Bai Qi's frenzied attack on Yangguan in the past few days was to inflict serious casualties on the Wei army in Yangguan.

But after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, Tang Zhi and Le Jin didn't notice any movement on Fang Cheng's side.

Seeing this, Tang Zhi said to Le Jin: "It seems that these Qin pawns are just abandoned sons, and Bai Qi has really escaped with his troops......

"Hmm." Le Jin nodded when he heard this.

You must know that the Gukou garrison is only three or four miles away from Fangcheng, not to mention passing the warning signal, just when they stormed this garrison, the movement was enough to alarm the Qin army in the area of Fangcheng, but so far, not to mention sending reinforcements on the Fangcheng side, there was no movement at all, obviously Bai Qi had fled with nearly 20,000 defeated troops under his command.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhi and Le Jin led the army straight to Fangcheng, and at the same time sent someone to deliver the news to Huahu.

Half an hour later, Tang Zhi and Le Jin led the army to Fangcheng and ordered the soldiers to look around.

Sure enough, the 20,000 Qin troops who retreated to Fangcheng after the battle during the day today were long gone at this moment.

Fortunately, there were still some Wei scouts lurking in the shadows in the local area, and when they saw the army led by Tang Zhi, Le Jin and others running from Yangguan to Fangcheng with torches high, they knew that it was their own army, so they immediately came to report and told Tang Zhi and Le Jin: "Two Simas, the Qin army has fled to the west!" ”

"West?"

Tang glanced at it and said to Le Jin: "Sure enough, he fled towards Wancheng." ”

Le Jin nodded, and was about to chase with Tang Zhi when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Turning his head, he saw the cavalry led by Hua Hu and Cai Cheng, rushing here with torches in hand.

"What about Qin Jun?"

Riding a horse and running in front of Tang Zhi and Le Jin, Hua Hu looked around and asked the two.

Le Jin shrugged his shoulders and said: "Heading towards Wancheng in the west, according to the scouts who came to report the news, the Qin army is afraid that they have escaped more than ten miles away......

"It's just a dozen miles." Hua Hu snorted coldly, and immediately said to Tang Zhi and Le Jin: "I will lead the cavalry to the front to intercept the Qin army first, and I hope you two will come as soon as possible." ”

After that, he and Cai Cheng led two thousand cavalry to quickly chase west, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Tang Zhi said with some envy: "The cavalry is really convenient, even if the enemy has fled more than ten miles away, it can catch up and intercept ...... in the blink of an eye."

"yes." Lejin echoed enviously.

Hearing this, Tang Zhi asked Le Jin curiously: "By the way, why didn't you go and grab the position of the cavalry at the beginning?" ”

Le Jin shrugged helplessly: "Ah Zhong asked me to lead the infantry army, but I can't help it." ”

I have to say that in fact, Le Jin also wants to command the cavalry, after all, the cavalry is indeed convenient, but the problem is that in their team, he is the former general of the infantry army, and he can't even change him to the cavalry and throw the infantry army to Meng Sui and Wu Ying, right? These two are not good at charging into battle.

After thinking about it, Le Jin said to Tang Zhi: "Forget it now, Menghu, Huahu, and Mu Wu will break their heads for the six thousand cavalry, and in the future, I will also get some cavalry to play." ”

"Are you sure you can get it?" Tang Zhi asked with a smile: "I don't know about Mu Sima's side, but I heard those two tigers say that they are going to form a cavalry army......

Hearing this, Le Jin said dissatisfiedly: "I'm Ah Zhong's cousin-in-law!" ”

"Meng Hu is still a brother of Meng Zhong who has played since he was a child."

"Uh......" Le Jin couldn't help but be speechless, he sneered, "Look at me and get some cavalry for you to show in the future......"

"Hahahaha."

Tang Zhi laughed, did not dismantle Lejin, and led the army to pursue the Qin army with the latter.

At this time, Hua Hu and Cai Cheng led 2,000 cavalry to chase west.

As he said, a distance of more than ten miles was nothing in front of their cavalry, and no, it didn't take much time for them to find the Bai Qi army that was marching quickly by the moonlight.

The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the Qin soldiers of the Bai Qi Army, and they all turned their heads to look back, and then they saw a winding fire snake approaching quickly behind them.

Of course they knew what it was, it was the Wei army with torches!

"Cavalry!"

"It's Fangcheng cavalry!"

"Fangcheng cavalry is catching up!"

In the midst of panic, the Qin soldiers in the rear team were in chaos, and countless Qin soldiers fled in all directions.

At this time, if Huahu led the cavalry to cover the past, I believe that he would be able to capture the heads of many Qin soldiers.

But obviously, his ambition is not only this, he wants to let Bai Qijun be wiped out here! In order to avenge the hatred of the Bai Qi army storming his Yangguan in the past few days, and to avenge the soldiers killed in the battle of the other city army!

"Get around!"

Turning a blind eye to the fleeing Qin soldiers, Hua Hu led the cavalry around the western side of the Qin army.

Immediately, a soldier reported the matter to Bai Qi: "Qi Bai Shuai, there is a cavalry attack from Fangcheng in the rear!" ”

Bai Qi had expected this, so he was not surprised, and asked lightly, "How many people are there?" ”

The soldier who came to report shook his head and said, "I can't really see it at night, but I know that there are a lot of them." ”

"Hmm. …… Are these Fangcheng cavalry chasing after the rear of our army? ”

"Nope! They went around the front from the left flank of our army! ”

"Huh?"

Bai Qi frowned when he heard this, and then sneered: "I don't have a small appetite." ”

The cavalry of Fangcheng went around to the front of his army, the purpose must be to intercept them and buy time for the Wei army that was coming quickly in the rear.

He stood on the chariot and looked around, and sure enough, he saw the cavalry with torches quickly circling in front of them, lined up about two hundred feet away.

"This little strength shouldn't be able to stop our army, right?"

Next to Bai Qi, Sima Jin stood on the chariot and thought secretly.

As far as he could see, the number of those Fangcheng cavalry with torches was not very large, at least it was much less than their 20,000 Qin army, and with such a huge disparity in strength, these cavalry dared to block their marching route?

But just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a scream from the front army.

"What's going on?" What happened?'

Sima Jin was a little panicked.

"No need to panic."

As if he had guessed Sima Jin's panic, Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "It's just that those Fangcheng cavalry are shooting our army's soldiers with crossbows, trying to make our army change the route of the march...... At the beginning of the battle of Yique, this is the trick used by the opposite side, hum! ”

After that, he instructed the guards accompanying the car: "Tell the whole army, if you want to live, break through!" ”

"Whoa!"

A moment later, the roar of the Qin soldiers came from the front army, obviously under the desire to survive, these Qin soldiers finally overcame the fear of the cavalry of the other city, and in order to survive, they rushed straight towards the cavalry led by Hua Hu.

Seeing this, Hua Hu had to order the cavalry to retreat some distance to the west.

At this time, Cai Cheng said to Hua Hu: "Sima, if the Qin army wants to live, if we stand in front of it, it may instead inspire the fighting spirit of the Qin army, it is better to attack from the flank, the Qin army will definitely not be entangled with our army in order to escape." ”

Hua Hu frowned and said, "But in this way, I'm afraid that Bai Qi and the others will be allowed to get away......

Cai Cheng heard the words and said: "If Bai Qi wants to flee for his life, I am afraid that he would have fled by this time; If he doesn't escape, then he will definitely be in the middle of the Qin army...... Moreover, the order of the city order is to destroy this Qin army as much as possible, as for Bai Qi...... After all, he is the commander of the Qin army, and if he wants to capture and kill him in the chaos, I think it will take some luck......"

Hua Hu thought for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, then attack them from the flank!" ”

Immediately, the cavalry led by Hua Hu changed their tactics and moved to the flanks of the Qin army, either shooting arrows at the Qin army with crossbows, or chasing down the Qin soldiers who were left alone due to their rout.

And in this regard, Bai Qi had no choice but to send an order to Zhong Xu on the left flank, ordering the latter to resist the cavalry as much as possible, to put it bluntly, that is, not to let the Fangcheng cavalry kill in their ranks and cut off his army, as for the wanton sniping of the Fangcheng cavalry against his subordinates, he could not do anything.

You can't send a foot soldier to drive this cavalry, can you? It's no different than sending these soldiers to their deaths.

Thinking of this, he ordered again: "Hugh must ignore the Fangcheng cavalry on the side and step up the march!" ”

Under Bai Qi's order, the Qin soldiers could only speed up their pace, but the problem was that because of the crazy offensive against Yangguan a few days ago, Bai Qi commanded 20,000 Qin soldiers at the moment, almost all of them were injured, how could they hold out for a long time? No, it didn't take long for many soldiers to fall into the team one after another, and they were killed by the Fangcheng cavalry led by Hua Hu.

"Help me ......"

"White Shuai ......"

"General Zhong......"

"General Wei......"

In the night, those Qin soldiers who were surrounded and slaughtered by the Fangcheng cavalry, while making the last resistance, begged in the direction of the army, begging the army to send someone to rescue them, but what made them desperate was that the army did not send anyone to rescue them from the beginning to the end.

Don't fall behind, once you fall behind, you die!

The tragedy of those fallen soldiers made the Qin soldiers understand this truth.

"I can't...... Can't die here...... The family is still waiting...... Wait for me to go back......

In the ranks of the Qin army, there was a seriously wounded Qin pawn who held Changge with both hands, dragging his seriously injured right leg and panting forward.

Suddenly, the Changge in his hand was crooked, and the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"Changge...... My Changge ......"

He looked around for his Changge, but he couldn't see his Changge, it seemed that when he fell, the Changge rolled into the distance.

"Who, who's going to pick it up for me...... I need that gogo to get on my way......"

He shouted towards the nearby robes, but the Qin soldiers who passed by him turned a blind eye to this and only cared about their own journey.

At this time, the sound of fighting behind him was getting closer and closer to him.

He turned his head and saw in horror that there was a little light behind him—it was those Fangcheng cavalrymen with torches, chasing down a fallen Qin pawn.

"No...... I can't die here......

He gritted his teeth and tried to get up with his hands on the ground, but he couldn't get up after several attempts because of his severe injuries and weakness in his limbs.

He watched as the last Qin pawn quickly passed by him, fleeing without looking back.

"Ritsu-"

At this moment, a voice came from behind him.

He turned his head slowly, looked behind him in horror, and saw behind him, at some point, a Fangcheng cavalryman with a torch standing on horseback, looking at him condescendingly with indifferent eyes.

"Die, Qin people!"

The Fangcheng cavalryman spoke a Chu dialect, his face was slightly distorted, and he stabbed down fiercely with the Changge in his hand.

Hearing a pop, Qin Pawn's back was pierced by the sharp Changge.

『……』

Glancing blankly at his abdomen, looking at the crimson front blade that passed through his body, Qin Zhu looked ahead with a complicated expression, looking at those Tong Ze who had only a little back left in the night.

"Why, why don't you want to help me......

He stretched out his hand towards the back of Tong Ze in the distance.

"Huh? Can you still move? ”

The Fangcheng cavalry behind him snorted lightly, pulled out Changge and stabbed a few more times.

Spit out a mouthful of blood with a pop, and Qin Pawn slowly fell to the end, his head falling to the side weakly.

At this moment, his mind flashed his family in Huaili.

For a moment, he lost consciousness.

“……”

Taking a deep look at the Qin pawn who was lying in a pool of blood, the Fangcheng cavalry let out a long sigh.

"Hey, Zhang Ji, what are you doing?"

There was an inquiring voice from far and near, Fangcheng cavalry turned his head to look, shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little emotional, when this group of Qin people chased and killed us in Sui County, did they ever think that they would die in our hands in the future?" ”

Another Fangcheng cavalryman laughed and said, "I'm afraid they won't think of it." …… This is the second time you've killed someone, right? How does it feel? I remember the last time you killed that Qin pawn, your face turned white with fright......"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Fang Cheng cavalry said with some embarrassment.

"Hahaha." Another Fangcheng cavalryman smiled, patted his companion on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "In short, don't think about it, we are not the one who did evil, we are just waiting to avenge the relatives who died at the hands of these Qin people, and to protect the relatives who are still alive......"

"Hmm!" Fang Cheng cavalry nodded.

At this time, a shouting and scolding came from a distance: "Hey, what are you two doing?!" Have time to chat here, why don't you catch up and kill a few more Qin pawns?! ”

"Yes, yes, we'll go right away."

Another Fangcheng cavalryman agreed again and again, and at the same time lowered his voice and urged his companions: "Hurry, hurry, that brigade commander surnamed Cheng has a bad temper, don't make him angry." ”

The two Fangcheng cavalrymen hurriedly slapped their horses and continued to chase and kill the Qin soldiers in the distance.

During this period, I could still hear the uncle surnamed Cheng scolding: "A new pawn is a new pawn, and at this time, he still chats?" …… What to watch? Still not catching up? ”

"......"

"Haha, Lao Cheng, you are too strict, be tolerant of these new pawns, if we Tiger Riders want to be strong, we will have to rely on them in the future......"

"By them? Hey! These little cubs are still far away! ”

Hearing this, the old horsemen from Wei Wushu nearby all laughed.

Suddenly, an old cavalry soldier looked at the rear and shouted: "Infantry army, our infantry army has caught up!" ”

Seeing this, the cavalry turned their heads to look back, and sure enough, they saw that under the night sky behind them, a sea of fire was rapidly moving towards this side.

"Is it the army under the command of Tang and Le? It's fast......"

"Report to Sima and Zuo Sima immediately!"

"Hmm!"

After a while, a cavalry told the news of the arrival of the infantry to Sima Huahu and Zuo Sima Cai Cheng.

"It's finally here......

Hua Hu Lerma glanced at the rear twice, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Next, our army will cooperate with Tang Zhi and Le Jin's foot soldiers to hunt down and kill the Qin army. The old pawn and I attacked the Qin army, and the new pawn continued to harass me! ”

"Whoa!"

Under an order, Hua Hu gathered the old cavalry soldiers from Wei Wu under his command, and went straight into the belly of the Qin army, breaking back and forth, and at this time, Tang Zhi and Le Jin led the infantry to catch up, under the attack of the Wei army's cavalry and infantry armies, the formation of the Qin army collapsed, although there were Qin generals such as Zhong Xu and Wei Yuan who tried their best to stabilize the morale of the army, but it was difficult to stop the rout of his Qin army.

Immediately, a soldier reported the situation, Bai Qi was silent for a long time after hearing it, and then said in a deep voice: "After ordering the rear army, the front army, the middle army, continue to march!" ”

On the side, Sima Jin wanted to speak and stopped.

After all, in this case, ordering the rear army is equivalent to letting the soldiers of the rear army die in vain, and using their own lives to buy time for the other Qin soldiers to escape.

However, even if this is the case, how much time can it be gained?

No, in just half an hour, the rear army of the Qin army, which was regarded as an outcast, was broken by Tang Zhi and Le Jin, and the generals who commanded this part of the Qin army to defend the aid had already fled with the guards.

Without the command of the generals, this Qin army exacerbated the rout, collapsed under the attack of the Wei army, and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, Le Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Although it is a wise judgment, however, the generals of the Qin army are really ruthless, if it were me, I am afraid I can't bear to abandon the soldiers under my command who share weal and woe......"

Tang Zhi sneered beside him: "What morality does the Qin people have? ”

Le Jin shrugged, turned his head to look around, and said: "These routs are no longer a climate, leave it to Wu Ying, Wei Xu, and Yu Ying to deal with the aftermath......"

"Okay."

After some summing, Tang Zhi and Le Jin no longer pursued and killed those fleeing Qin pawns, and once again pursued the army led by Bai Qi.

By the dawn of the next day, in just one night, more than 10,000 Qin troops were killed by the Wei army.

What is more and more unfavorable to Bai Qi's army is that after dawn, the Wei army that pursued their Qin army was no longer just Huahu, Tang Zhi, and Lejin, but also Wu Ying of Yingshan, Wei Xu and Yu Ying of Yinshan, all of whom led their soldiers to come.

But nothing frightened the Qin army the most was when Meng Zhong personally led the Wei army.

When he noticed that the banner with the words "Wei Fangcheng Lingmeng" appeared in the ranks of the Wei army's pursuers behind him, even Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in a desperate situation, let alone the generals under his command.

At the same time, in the royal capital of Wei, Daliang, Wei Xiangtian Wen, who was sleeping peacefully, was hurriedly woken up by the doormen Feng Tan and Xiahou Zhang.

"Xue Gong, there was an urgent report from Yecheng, Zhao sent Li Ji and Han Xu to lead 50,000 troops to Chen on the north bank of Zhangshui, and there are suspected signs of attacking Yecheng."

"Han Xu?"

Tian Wen was slightly stunned, frowned and said, "Haven't you heard of it before, the new general who joined the Zhao State?" ”

Feng Chen shook his head and said, "That's not important, the point is that it means ......"

"I know."

The pressure hand interrupted Feng Chen's words, and the expression on Tian Wen's face gradually became solemn.

"This means that the fields of the King of Qi and Li Dui, the Fengyang Jun of the Zhao State, are finally going to join forces to seek the Song Kingdom......"
