Even at first, under the persuasion of the Shangshui soldiers, the vast majority of the Chu army was still reluctant to surrender because of their scruples, but when the Wei army attacked on a large scale and more and more Chu soldiers surrendered, many Chu soldiers no longer hesitated, took the initiative to discard the weapons in their hands, and knelt on the ground to surrender.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands, more than 200,000 Chu soldiers surrendered on their knees, such an astonishing scene made Qin Shaojun, Yangquan Jun Yingyi and other Qin soldiers incomprehensible.

"The Chu people are so spineless?" Yang Quanjun muttered.

Hearing this, Wu Ji, the general of the merchant army who was beside Yangquan Jun Yingyi, felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he explained: "His Royal Highness King Su once said that the policy of the Chu State is deformed, and the lower ones sacrifice and bleed, and they may not even be able to drink a mouthful of soup in the end, but the upper ones can sit back and enjoy the results. In your country, the untouchables can increase their titles by virtue of their military merits, and finally occupy a high position; In our Great Wei, commoners can also pass military merits and examinations, and become new nobles; But in the State of Chu, don't even think about it, a person's background is doomed to his fate......" said, he pointed to himself, for example: "I defected to the Great Wei, after a few years, I became a general, and Bailiba, Sima An and other generals are on an equal footing, but if it is in the State of Chu, I have spent more than ten or twenty years of hard work and established countless feats, and at most it is only two thousand generals." ”

"Really?" Yangquan Jun Yingyi asked incredulously, after all, in his opinion, Wu Ji is a rare fierce general, like such a fierce general, in Chu State, he can't even mix up a general?

Faced with Yangquan Jun's rhetorical question, Wu Ji smiled bitterly.

The state of Chu is a country controlled by the noble-blooded Chu people, not a country of commoners of the Chu state, which is a consensus whether it is in eastern or western Chu.

Therefore, in the state of Chu, there are almost no soldiers who shout slogans to protect their families and defend the country when they go into battle, because these soldiers go to the battlefield just to mix a military salary and a ration, how can they really fight for the nobles of Chu Dong?

"Unbelievable." Yang Quanjun shook his head.

You must know that even if it was more than 20 years ago in the Qin State, that is, when Wei Ying had not yet proposed the military merit system, the Qin State's policy towards its own civilians would not be as mean as the Chu State, and it is really a shame that such a country can survive to this day.

Just when Yangquan Jun Yingyi was talking to Wu Ji, the Qin and Wei coalition forces had invaded the Chu army camp on a large scale, and this coalition army composed of 30,000 Northern First Army, 40,000 Shangshui Army, 3,000 Iron Eagle Cavalry and 5,000 Black Face Army was like a bamboo.

Even, even the main army of Chu State was driven by those surrendered grain recruits, and there was a large number of surrenders.

Faced with this situation of defeat, even Shouling Jun Jingshe was powerless to save the situation, so he could only immediately order the whole army to break through.

At this time, where did the representatives of the nobles of Chudong, such as Xiong Quan, Peng Lijun, Xiong Yi, and other representatives of the nobles of Eastern Chu dare to negotiate with the Wei army, and it was too late to escape.

"Report! …… There were tens of thousands of Chu troops breaking through to the south! ”

After Shouling Junjingshe ordered an immediate breakthrough, Zhao Hongrun received several reports that the main army of the Chu State had fled south.

After thinking about it slightly, he ordered: "Summoning the South Gate Chi, ordering him to lead 20,000 Shangshui to collect and surrender troops, and the rest of the army to pursue the Chu army retreating south!" ”

"Obey!"

As a result, after the Qin-Wei coalition army swept across the entire battlefield like a gust of wind, they began to pursue the Chu army retreating south without any love for war - compared to the Chu State grain recruits who surrendered one after another, and followed the Shouling Jun Jingshe to retreat south, that was the core army of the Chu army, in line with the intention of eliminating evil, how could Zhao Hongrun watch these troops return to Chu safely?

In the face of the relentless pursuit of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, Shouling Jun Jingshe and others had no choice.

At this time, in the north hill around Yongqiu, the rebel general Nangong Yao saw the chaos of the Chu army's camp from a distance, and sighed gloomily that the Chu army was gone, so he gave up rescuing the Chu army and led the army back to Suiyang, preparing to expand the army in Suiyang to deal with the conquest from the Wei army.

"Report! Suiyang Army Evacuate! ”

After a while, the news that Nangong Yao led the army to evacuate Yongqiu reached the ears of Chen Hunt, the general of the Suiyang New Army, who was not far from Beiqiu.

Regarding the practice of Nangong Yao's snake and rat at both ends, Chen Hunt was deeply disdainful.

Withdrawing troops at this time, is it planning to return to Suiyang? Hey! When Nangong returned to Suiyang, he saw that Huan Hu's guy had attacked the city, and he didn't know what his mood would be.

Thinking of this, Chen Hunt was secretly happy in his heart.

It turned out that after Huan Hu crossed the border on the battlefield a few days ago, he knew that this move was tantamount to tearing his face with Nangong Yao, so he worked with Chen Hunt to let Chen Hunt lead the army to continue to stay in the Yongqiu area and paralyze Nangong Yao, while he himself returned to Suiyang in the starry night.

You must know that in Suiyang, Jin Gou, the leader of Huanhu's party and the former Fuqiu leader who is also a wanted criminal in Wei State, still has a lot of hidden thieves under his hands, as long as Huanhu deceives the trust of the guards in the city in the name of Nangong Yao, he may not be able to take Suiyang into his hands.

I have to say that Huan Hu is worthy of being a decisive and ruthless person.

Since Nangong Yao led the army to evacuate, there is no need for me to stay here.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhan immediately ordered the Suiyang New Army under his command to withdraw from the Yongqiu battlefield.

He knew that after he and Nangong Yao's army returned to Suiyang County, and after Nangong Yao found out that Suiyang County had been occupied by Huanhu, their two armies, which were also named Suiyang Army, would inevitably have a big battle.

Of course, Chen Hunt was not worried about this, after all, in his opinion, although the Suiyang Army was more elite than the new army under his command, as long as he could kill Nangong Yao, everything would not be a problem.

With his force, kill Nangong Yao, is there any difficulty in this?

Easy!

Before setting off, Chen Zhan couldn't help but glance back at the Yongqiu battlefield, and he couldn't help but think of Shen Yu who met on the battlefield a few days ago.

I have to say that Chen Zhan is not even afraid of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, but for Shen Yu, he is really ashamed.

I owe you this life, and I will pay it back to you in the future...... Before that, don't be killed by the Chu people easily.

After a silent recitation in his heart, Chen Hunt waved his hand and ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army retreats!" ”

At the same time, Shen Yu, who Chen Hunt had in mind, was leading thousands of Shangshui Army reservists to join forces with Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, to drive away the Chu army that was pursuing and fleeing.

Although the main army of the Chu State fought and retreated, trying to preserve the army, under the general offensive of the Qin-Wei coalition army, the Chu army, which had no morale at all, could be said to be defeated and retreated.

Almost every moment, there are Chu troops who put down their arms and surrender on their knees when they can't see the vitality of survival.

Since ninety percent of the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army were original Chu people who defected to the Wei State, it was not difficult for these former compatriots to accept the surrender of the other party.

Even, Wei general Zhai Huang and others also instigated these surrendered Chu troops to pursue the army of Shouling Jun Jingshe together, and promised that if they made meritorious deeds, they could join the Shang Water Army, which made thousands of Chu troops defect and join the pursuit team of the Shang Water Army, making the Shang Water Army like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

However, compared with the Shang and Shui Army, which incorporated the soldiers of the Chu State in the rear team and made a lot of money, the rest of the Wei army was more dazzling.

Among them, 3,000 Iron Eagle cavalry took the lead in making meritorious contributions, Qin general Wuzhao killed Peng Li's army general Zhou Zheng, Tian Mengsheng captured Peng Lijun Xiong Yi, Meng Yue's array beheaded Chu general Tian Ge, forcing Peng Li's army to kneel and surrender.

Subsequently, the black-faced army led by the Qin general Wang Ling defeated the Shouling army, Xinyang army, and Liyang army left behind by the Chu army, and several Chu generals such as Fei Xing, Sun Bai, and Ma Wu were all hacked to death by the black-faced sergeants and beheaded in the chaos.

Even the Northern First Army, which was a friendly army, was shocked by the bravery of the black-faced army, and looked at the five thousand black-faced troops in amazement, chasing and killing tens of thousands of Chu troops and throwing away their armor and being embarrassed.

When the Chu army fled to Tugang in the area of Qiqi County, Wei general Shaohu led more than 20,000 Wei Wu troops from the ambush to kill the ambush, and cooperated with the Qin and Wei coalition forces to launch a two-sided attack on the Chu army.

The Chu army did not dare to fight, so it had to leave an army behind the palace and quickly evacuate, but it did not expect that after only a dozen miles, it was intercepted by a Wei army led by Wei generals Long Ji and Yi Gu respectively, and was defeated for a while, leaving countless soldiers.

When the Chu army approached Xiangyi, it was ambushed by the Wei general Bailibai again, so that the Chu army did not dare to withdraw to Xiangyi, so they could only continue to break through to the south.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State stationed in Yu County, learned that the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Shouling Jun Jingshe had suffered a crushing defeat in Yongqiu, and he was shocked and hurriedly led the army to support, which finally made Shouling Jun Jingshe take a breath.

But the good times didn't last long, and within a few hours, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, came after with hundreds of thousands of Qin and Wei coalition troops and the Chu army, and even the general Xiang Mo was shocked.

I have to say that for Wei Gongzirun's snowball tactics, it is not the first time that Xiang Mo, the general of Chu State, has learned from it, and I remember that when we fought last time, it was also like this: Wei Gongzirun, who had only 50,000 soldiers at the beginning, actually increased to nearly 200,000 after the battle, and this way of fighting made Xiang Mo breathtaking.

Seeing that he was unable to defeat the enemy, Xiang Mo also cooperated with Shouling Jun Jingshe to retreat together, from the fifth day of April to the seventh day of April, the Chu army that hastily withdrew to his own country was full of dangers.

Because not only were the Qin and Wei coalition forces led by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, chasing them, but also the Wei soldiers and civilians in the cities previously occupied by the Chu army in front of them, who spontaneously organized and fell into the ground.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, Shouling Jun Jingshe and the general Xiang Mo led the army to flee to Yangxia, originally hoping to withdraw from Pingyuyi in the south of Yangxia, but unfortunately, they were blocked by the Shang army Wei general Gu Liangwei.

At this time, the army of Xiong Hu of Chu Pingyu Jun was stationed in the north of Chen County, only thirty miles away from Yangxia, but Xiong Hu of Pingyu County turned a blind eye to the difficult situation of the Chu Eastern army led by Shouling Jun Jingshe and General Xiang Mo, and did not have the slightest intention of rescuing or putting pressure on Shang Shuiyi.

Seeing this, Shouling Junjingshe had no choice but to switch to Ku County, but unexpectedly, the Qu clan in Ku County fell into the well, gathered troops to block the riverbank, and did not let the Chu army cross the river.

In desperation, the Chudong army under the command of Shouling Jun Jingshe had no choice but to turn east.

However, when they passed through the Song land, they were attacked by Song Yun, the leader of the Song rebels, and even when they arrived in Surabaya County, the army of Lu and Tian Tan, the famous general of Qi, also led their own troops to block it, causing heavy losses to the Chudong army.

When it was close to May, Shouling Jun Jingshe led his army to break through the siege and return to the border of Chu, with only a few tens of thousands of troops left under his command.

"Hey! All sins are mine! ”

With a long sigh, Shouling Jun Jingshe drew his sword on the bank of the Chushui River and killed himself.

On April 28, the 23rd year of Wei Hongde, Shouling Jun Jingshe returned to the country after defeat, thinking that he was deeply guilty, and drew his sword on the bank of Chu Water to kill himself, at the age of 42.

At this point, the three pillars of the Chu State were all dead.
