――――The following text――――

On that day, due to the desperate resistance of the Han army in Qiguan, the Suwang army finally failed to conquer Qiguan before dusk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But despite this, in the battle in the daytime, the Su Wang army played a strong spirit, so that in the second half of the day, the Su Wang army almost suppressed the Qiguan Han army, making the Qiguan Han army more and more frightened.

In this case, Zhao Hongrun decisively chose to pick up the lights to continue the battle - he ordered the crows to set fire to Qishan, and used the raging flames of Qishan to illuminate the night battle in the area of Qiguan, so that the merchant army could use the light of the Qishan fire to launch a night attack on Qiguan.

At that time, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, couldn't help but exclaim: Is Wei Gongzirun crazy?!

Of course, Zhao Hongrun is not crazy, he just saw the tiredness of the Han army, and saw the weakness of the Han army's successor, in this case, why did he withdraw from the army and give the Han army a chance to recuperate and breathe?

"The first to ascend, ten households will be rewarded!"

Zhao Hongrun shouted out the reward, and the sergeants of the Chamber of Commerce under his command shouted excitedly.

The so-called first climber refers to the first person to attack the enemy's wall; And "rewarding ten households" refers to the place where ten households are rewarded. In other words, the first merchant soldier to attack Qi Pass was able to obtain a fief of about ten households, which was equivalent to a small village, and turned into a small nobleman.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun did not have the right to canonize the nobles, but he could set aside a piece of land in his fiefdom "Shangshui County" to distribute to the soldiers with military merits, which was no problem.

I have to say that after hearing such a reward as "rewarding ten households", not to mention the ordinary soldiers of the Shang Shui Army screaming excitedly, even the generals and other generals of thousands of people were also thrilled - don't look at the fiefdom of the land of ten households is pitifully small, but this is also a fiefdom, if you can get this reward, even if it is an ordinary soldier, you can turn into a small nobleman, and Ze will be used by future generations.

Is there anyone in the Su Wang's army who has a fief?

Not a single one.

In other words, this is the first case, and it is very likely that it will be recorded in the history of Wei.

In this case, the merchants and sailors roared and rushed towards the Qiguan wall, which made the Han army guarding the pass unbelievable - they had been fighting each other for four or five hours, and the morale and combat effectiveness of the Wei army on the opposite side had actually increased instead of decreasing?!

"Broken the barrier!"

With a shout, the soldiers of King Su who rushed to Qi Pass like a tide fought hard to kill the gate inside Qi Pass, and finally opened the gate of Qi Pass and let the rest of the King Su soldiers outside the city inside.

"The first to ascend is the soldier of Ran Teng's thousand-man team, Yang Wu!"

After breaking through the gateway of Qi Pass, Ran Teng, the general of a thousand people, shouted loudly.

Although it is a little regrettable that the fiefdom of the land of ten households was not obtained by him, the fierce soldier Yang Wu under his command has won this honor, and he, a thousand-person general, also has more honor.

Hearing this shout, the soldiers of Shangshui in that area undoubtedly felt very frustrated, especially those soldiers who were only half a step slower than Yangwu, and they vented their frustration and disappointment on the Qiguan Han army opposite, so that the Qiguan Han army, whose morale had plummeted because the gate was broken by the Suwang army, suddenly collapsed.

"It's over......

After witnessing this scene, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, sighed gloomily.

It is undeniable that even when the Qi Pass Gate was broken by the Su Wang Army, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, still tried to recover his disadvantage. But unfortunately, as the gate of the pass was breached, the morale of the Han army in Qiguan plummeted, and they were no longer able to recapture the pass gate from the Wei army.

When it was approaching Hai, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, who realized that the general trend had gone, decided to give up the useless struggle and evacuate north from the back of Qiguan under the persuasion of his generals.

After the pass of Qiguan, there is Qishui, and there is a wooden bridge on the river, which is the only way for the Han army to retreat at present.

Retreating to the wooden bridge, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, first let the injured storm kite retreat across the wooden bridge, and he stayed behind, personally breaking the rear, and evacuated as many Korean troops as possible.

Because even when the Wei army conquered Qi Pass, it still bit them to the death.

At this time, the morale gap between the two armies has become more and more obvious, and the soldiers of the Shangshui army saw that they had captured Qi Pass, and their morale was bursting, as if they had inexhaustible strength; In contrast, the Han army of Qiguan was sluggish, and even the farmers who cultivated the fields looked more energetic than them.

In the end, when Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, personally led his troops to the bank of the Qishui River, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, realized that he could not stay here for a long time, and he could not care about his own generals who had not yet gotten rid of the entanglement of the Wei army, so he retreated to the northeast bank of Qishui, and ordered his soldiers to cut the wooden bridge with their blades.

It has to be said that when the Korean army on the northeast bank of Qishui destroyed the wooden bridge, the Korean soldiers and generals who were still on the other side of the river showed expressions of despair and disbelief - they were abandoned.

『…… I'm sorry.'

Looking at the generals on the river bank who had not yet had time to retreat, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, flashed a trace of pain in his eyes, and endured the gloomy order for the whole army to retreat.

He knew very well that his judgment was correct - if the Wei army had been allowed to chase after Qishui at this time, then the losses of his army would never be more than the current number.

However, when the desperate and unbelievable expressions of those abandoned soldiers and generals on the other side of the river, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, inevitably felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

The only thing he could do was to turn his head and order the whole army to withdraw north, not to look at the desperate gaze of the abandoned generals.

『……』

Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, could see clearly on the riverside.

Although he also understood that Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was forced to do this, the latter's approach inevitably reminded him of his time in Chu - he couldn't guess whether his father and brother were really killed in battle, or whether they were abandoned by a general of Chu under special circumstances.

Frowning, Wu Ji instructed the Shangshui sergeant soldiers nearby: "Order all the troops, don't kill those who surrender!" ”

Hearing this, it didn't take long for the soldiers of Shangshui to shout the slogan of "those who surrender will not be killed", which made those Qiguan Han soldiers who had already lost their fighting spirit drop their weapons and choose to surrender.

And with the surrender of these Han soldiers, the Battle of Qishui ended with the victory of the Wei army.

About half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, rode a war horse to the west bank of Qishui, and saw many Han soldiers kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Seeing this, Wu Ji immediately came to Zhao Hongrun, knocked on the ground and clenched his fists, and confessed: "The last general has made an assertion without permission, please punish His Highness." ”

"Get up."

Zhao Hongrun raised his hand and motioned for Wu Ji to get up, without blaming him at all.

After all, he has never been a murderer, and if the two armies are at war, casualties are inevitable; And if the war was over, he would not slaughter enemy prisoners who were willing to surrender.

Don't look at Zhao Hongrun's 200,000 Qin troops last year, and in the end, there were not many people left alive to escape back to Qin, but that was only because the Qin people were not afraid of death and refused to surrender.

Since these Han soldiers and soldiers in front of him are willing to surrender, then Zhao Hongrun naturally will not continue to order the massacre - the slaughter of prisoners, which is also a major event in the Central Plains that will cause negative public opinion.

As for what to do with these prisoners, Zhao Hongrun has no idea for the time being, but keeping these prisoners and negotiating with South Korea in the future is not a bargaining chip.

Anyway, Zhao Hongyun did not expect to destroy South Korea through this battle, and since this is the case, it is inevitable to negotiate peace with South Korea in the future.

Of course, from Zhao Hongrun's selfish intentions, he will definitely postpone the date of the negotiations until after he captures Handan, the royal capital of South Korea.

Because he wants to teach South Korea a profound lesson, after all, in recent decades, South Korea has been too arrogant in front of his Wei State, almost like when Lu Xi, the king of Qi, attacked Chu State, all by mood - good mood, attack Chu State to help fun; In a bad mood, he attacked the state of Chu to vent his anger.

So much so that I don't know how many Chu people cursed the early death of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, day and night.

It was not until dawn the next day that the merchant army began to contain the prisoners and clean up the battlefield.

According to the inventory of casualties between the enemy and us after the war, there were more than 3,000 casualties among the merchant and naval forces in this battle, which made Zhao Hongrun very dissatisfied.

After all, this time the Shang Shui Army had the Wugang car, a sharp weapon on the battlefield, which made the cavalry, infantry, and crossbow soldiers of the Qiguan Han Army unable to play their due level. In this advantageous situation, the Shangshui Army still suffered more than 3,000 casualties, which also demonstrated the level of force of the Qiguan Han Army in disguise.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it was not the Su Wang army that attacked Qi Pass this time, and it was not equipped with such war weapons as Wugang vehicles, it is believed that the casualties of the Wei army would inevitably increase several times, and even in the end, it would not be able to overcome this pass.

Compared with the casualty figures of the Shang Shui Army, Qi Pass, as the side guarding the pass, suffered nearly three times as many casualties as the Shang Shui Army, and even this does not include the more than 1,000 Han soldiers who finally laid down their arms and surrendered.

I have to say that in the first battle of Qiguan, the foot soldiers under the command of Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, were almost ninety percent killed and wounded. In contrast, the cavalry of the Han army, which was almost useless in the defensive battle, except for about 2,000 horsemen killed when the cavalry led by the Han general Storm Kite himself to raid the Shangshui army, the rest were almost unscathed, and in the end, most of them withdrew to the other side of Qishui.

However, for the lucky escape of these cavalrymen, Zhao Hongrun also didn't care about it at all.

Because of the battles in recent days, it can actually be said that it is a battlefield test of the Wugang car, and the test results made Zhao Hongrun very satisfied, and this kind of chariot greatly restrained the Korean cavalry.

Since this is the case, then the next battle will be relatively simple, as long as you refer to the way in the recent past, attack steadily and steadily, in a certain term in Zhao Hongrun's memory, this is called flat pushing.

After another day, Su Wang's army repaired the wooden bridge over the Qishui River, and the army crossed the Qishui River and continued to advance north.

To the north of Qi Pass is Qi County, and if the Wei army wants to continue to attack north, then Qi County is also a city that must be captured.

And just when Zhao Hongrun was thinking about how to capture Qi County, he suddenly received a battle report, saying that the Northern Third Army led by General Jiang Yan was defeated in Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, and Jiang Yan himself was seriously injured.

At this, Zhao Hongrun was stunned.

In Taiyuan County, South Korea, there are still fierce generals who can seriously injure Jiang Yan?!
