"Shaojun ......"

In the main camp of the Qin army, the general Wang Di, who had just bandaged the arrow wound in his shoulder blade, came to the handsome tent in the camp, and said to Qin Shaojun, who seemed to be in a state of despair, "The Lu clan's Qianrong has also defected. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What?" Qin Shaojun was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" Didn't the two sides reach an armistice a few days ago......"

As soon as he said this, his voice stopped abruptly.

Why? What else is why, it is nothing more than because their Qin army is now completely inferior.

"Are you in a hurry to curry favor with the winner?" Qin Shaojun showed a miserable smile and muttered, "Or is it coercion from the winner's side?" ”

He was more inclined to the former guess, because the former guess only meant that Sanchuan Qianrong was a bully and afraid of the hard, and the latter guess meant that His Royal Highness King Su of Wei State was clearly going to bury all their Qin army here.

"I knew this was the case, and the abandoned watchtower in Huashan was going to kill him even if I was desperate...... Even if they die with him. ”

Qin Shaojun muttered gloomily.

Hearing this, Peng Chong, the chief of the guard standing in the tent, frowned slightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Shaojun......"

Qin Shaojun waved his hand, then shook his head and said, "I'm fine." …… In fact, that is the judgment that Ji Yun should have. Wei Gongzi Ji Run, what an excellent commander......" After that, he turned his head to Wang Yi and said, "General Wang Di, prepare to evacuate the whole army." ”

Wang Yi was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a low tone: "I have made arrangements for this matter, but looking at the appearance of the Wei army, they do not intend to sit back and watch our army withdraw...... Therefore, I have decided to leave the rest of the army at full speed after dusk today, leaving the rest of the army to withdraw to the country at full speed......"

Qin Shaojun opened his mouth, speechless.

It's not that the heavy load of the shield soldiers is the same, in fact, as long as the shield soldiers discard their heavy giant shields, the light armor on their bodies will not affect their withdrawal.

The problem is that the Ge Dun soldiers are the only short-range troops in the Qin army who are qualified to fight the Wei army, and of course, they are only qualified.

But then again, if you don't leave the Ge shield army behind, or to put it mildly, use this army as an outcast to attract the Wei army, the backbone of the Wei army, those terrible sword and shield soldiers, will deal a devastating blow to the entire Qin people.

Even the Qin people would feel hopeless in the face of the kind of heavy infantry who skillfully used a sword and a shield, and were fully armed with their bodies.

In addition to the lack of long-range means of attack, the heavy armored infantry of the Wei State Sword and Shield Soldiers can be attacked and defended, and there are almost no weaknesses.

What's more, if the Wei sword and shield soldiers and the Wei crossbowmen are allowed to fight together, the lethality of the two is far from the concept of one plus one equals two.

It's simply unbeatable!

If you add those slow-moving but indestructible tortoiseshell chariots, Qin Shaojun really can't think of anyone in the world who can defeat such a powerful Wei army.

"Can you find a way to send a letter to Ji Run?" Qin Shaojun exhaled lightly, turned his head and said to the head of the guard, Peng Chong.

Peng nodded and said, "I'm willing to go, and I believe that King Su won't embarrass me." It's just that...... In what name? ”

After a pause, he didn't wait for Qin Shaojun to speak, and continued: "Shaojun, in my opinion, if you want the Wei army to allow our army to retreat, you must agree to a condition, and this condition must not be agreed. ”

"......" Qin Shaojun opened his mouth, and then muttered: "Give up attacking Sanchuan and Hedong ......"

"Exactly." Peng nodded again, and then said with a straight face: "Just as Shaojun's teacher, Lord Wei Ying, said, a little defeat in the war will not affect the strength of my Great Qin, but if I give up the foreign war, it will be difficult for my Great Qin to maintain its current strength, and besides, those princes in the country who are already dissatisfied with Lord Wei Ying will also take the opportunity to deal with Lord Wei Ying...... But if this condition is refused, I believe that King Su will never agree to Shaojun's request. ”

Hearing this, Qin Shaojun slowly raised his head and slowly exhaled.

Ji Run, the king of Wei, did not have a good relationship with his unclear friends, but after today's war in Qin and Wei Hangu, Qin Shaojun has clearly realized that his friend is a character with a clear distinction between public and private, or to put it simply, the friendship between the two is not at all as good as the latter's responsibility as a Wei man and as the son of the king of Wei.

If nothing else, that "friend" probably planned to leave their remaining nearly 100,000 Qin troops in Sanchuan County, and make the Qin State frightened through this war.

If he, Qin Shaojun, cared about the lives of nearly 100,000 soldiers under his command, he should make a solemn promise at this moment, admit defeat, and make a promise not to invade Sanchuan County and Hedong County of Wei State in the future.

If so, I believe that "friend" will open the net.

But the key is that once he Qin Shaojun makes such a promise, it will be difficult for him Qin to launch an attack on Sanchuan County and Hedong County in the future, and it will be difficult for him to expand externally, so that the contradictions within Qin will intensify.

You must know that the princes with the surname Ying within the Qin State were very dissatisfied with the people who did not have the surname Ying entering the palace of Qin, and felt that the reformers of Wei Ying and others had seized some rights that belonged to their family with the surname Win.

At present, the contradiction between the two has not intensified, because the various reforms proposed by Wei Ying have made the Qin State show a momentum of frenzied foreign expansion, and the Qin State has obtained great benefits through war, such as the entire Longxi that has just been obtained.

For the sake of that new land, those people with the surname Ying in the Qin State even hypocritically praised Wei Ying and pushed Wei Ying to the position of a celebrity, and the most fundamental reason for this is that the war of Qin's foreign expansion has made the Ying family get great benefits.

However, once the Qin State is forced to end its external expansion, the military merit system will be affected first, and those Qin people in China who still hope to change their status by war will form resentment, and some people in the Ying family who can no longer benefit through the war will once again target Wei Ying and attack Wei Ying's various reform systems.

In other words, the Qin State must not stop its external expansion, even if all the nearly 100,000 Qin troops here are buried here.

Qin Shaojun knew this truth very well, and even he understood that the life and death of the nearly 100,000 Qin soldiers in the camp at this moment was not as important as the fate of the entire Qin State, but the problem was, how to say that it was also the lives of nearly 100,000 people......

He wanted to plead with the "friend" on the other side, but he knew that, as the captain of the guard, Peng Chong, said, that "friend" would never agree.

He, Qin Shaojun, has his own position, and the Wei Gongzi Ji Run opposite also has his position.

"Just follow the ...... General Wang Yi will do it. ”

After half a ring, Qin Shaojun sighed and muttered.

"Yes!"

Wang Yi bowed and retired.

Looking at the back of Wang Di leaving, Qin Shaojun set his eyes on the several crossbows on the table in front of him.

It was not a Qin crossbow, but a Wei crossbow, which was snatched back by the Qin soldiers who piled up their lives and killed several Wei crossbowmen.

Walking forward, Qin Shaojun picked up one of the Wei crossbows and looked at it carefully.

After this battle, he finally understood the gap between the Qin army and the Wei army.

For example, the heavy armor of the Wei sabers and shield soldiers, the heavy armor on their bodies simply made the crossbowmen and infantry of the Qin army feel desperate.

But what impressed Qin Shaojun the most was the crossbow of the Wei State.

Repeaters, trap crossbow boxes, and strong crossbows in the hands of crossbowmen, it is undeniable that in this war, the role of the Wei crossbow is very important, it is its existence that makes the Qin army completely suppressed by the Wei army, even if the number is several times larger, it cannot pose much threat to the Wei army.

"Peng Chong, when you evacuate, take care of these Wei crossbows and bring them back to Daqin, so that my craftsmen in Daqin can be elusive. One day at a time, I, Great Qin, will recover this blood debt from the Wei army. Qin Shaojun said calmly as the head of the guard, Peng Chong.

“…… Yes, Shaojun. ”

Glancing at Qin Shaojun, who was pretending to be calm, Peng Zhong replied in a low voice.

After dusk that day, the Qin army, which was still holding the camp at first, suddenly gave up its defense and quickly withdrew to the northwest.

It's a pity that Zhao Hongrun had already expected that the Qin army planned to let a part of the Yanling army continue to attack the Qin camp, and lead the Shangshui army and the northern Sichuan cavalry to pursue the Qin army that ran away.

During this period, the patriarchs of the three major tribal tribes of Yi, Qian, and Ling also sent soldiers from their tribes to chase and attack the Qin army.

Nearly 100,000 Qin soldiers fled from the grasslands in the eastern part of the Lu clan, some fled from Kuzhong Mountain to Huashan, and some fled to Wushan.

However, no matter which way they fled, they were pursued by the cavalry of the northern Sichuan and the cavalry of the Qian tribe, so that along the way, the corpses of the Qin soldiers covered the entire evacuation road, and the corpses were everywhere.

This pursuit battle lasted from after dusk to the early morning of the next day.

The next day, that is, the early sun on the ninth day of the first month of March, when there was still no warm sunlight to cover the entire Sanchuan grassland again, nearly 200,000 of the more than 200,000 Qin soldiers who attacked Sanchuan County this time stayed in this grassland forever.

From Hangu to the Lu clan, the corpses of the Qin soldiers were scattered all over the grassland, and the soil here was stained red with blood, making the hearts of the Qian people who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield tremble.

From the eighth day of March to the ninth day of March, 30,000 Wei troops, nearly 10,000 Sichuan cavalry and 50,000 northern Sichuan cavalry, plus the soldiers of the Qiang tribe, the Yi tribe, and the Ling tribe who joined the battle one after another, almost killed more than 200,000 Qin soldiers in just one day, and spread the enemy's corpses all over the grasslands in this area, leaving only a few 20,000 or 30,000 people, still on the way to flee this grassland.

Therefore, this battle of Sanchuan in Qin and Wei is also called the one-day battle.

From the 10th of March to the 15th of March, the Wei army recovered Wushan, Shangluo, and Huayang, and pushed the battle line to the Qinling Mountains at the junction of Qinchuan and Sichuan.

In late March, the Wei army passed through the Qinling Mountains and surrounded Lantian in Qin County, besieging it without attacking for three whole days, making the Qin people in Lantian County tremble.

Three days later, the Wei army quietly withdrew.

Before leaving, they planted the banner of Wei on the Qinling Mountains.

In the Battle of Sanchuan of Qin and Wei, the Qin State was defeated, and more than 200,000 troops were almost wiped out, while the loss of Wei's troops, even with the addition of the cavalry of the Qin tribe, was only 10,000 casualties.

This huge gap caused a certain amount of panic in Qin.

The Wei army slaughtered more than 200,000 Qin soldiers, and then led the army to Lantian County to make a threatening move to besiege the city, which also made the Qin army in Hedong County converge its troops, and a few days later, slowly withdrew from Hedong County.

It has to be said that the ferocious momentum of Qin's eastward expansion was contained by the fiasco of the Battle of Sanchuan.

Even if it's just temporary.
