Chapter 765: The Battle of the Three Route Army
When the reinforcements of Wang Xiu and others arrived on the battlefield of the warriors, the war was coming to an end.
The 40,000-strong army led by Wei Chang Tianqin collapsed under the frontal assault of the warriors, and the originally maintained front no longer existed.
So Wang Xiu immediately found Qi Yu and the others, wanting to understand the specific process of this war.
When he figured out the situation and saw that the soldiers defeated the Qin army with a devastating force, he still felt sincere admiration.
"I wonder what else the last general can do?" Wang Xiu asked at this time.
In fact, Qi Yu didn't want Wang Xiu to share the credit, but at this time, the situation of the right army was unclear, so he needed to end the battle quickly on this side so that he could rush to help immediately.
Don't forget, the 30,000 Qin troops dragged by Hu Hansan were just dragged down, and the more than 20,000 Qin troops who united in the rout were also relatively difficult to gnaw.
But if this Qin army can be completely annihilated, it will be a miracle, and it will be difficult to accomplish this with Qi Yu's foot soldiers alone.
Based on this, Qi Yu changed his words: "The general can order his cavalry to immediately encircle and kill the Qin army in the rear!"
Wang Xiu nodded, and then ordered the herald next to him.
The reinforcements that had just arrived were all cavalry, so they were soon in action, and military merit was something they were vying for.
At this time, Hu Hansan was still relatively relaxed, and the Qin army he was holding only wanted to meet the front, so his task became to block.
When the reinforcements sent by Wang Xiu arrived, the Qin army, which wanted to go to support, completely broke off their thoughts, and the Wei army's encirclement of them was officially formed.
This Qin army immediately fell into despair, and the Wei army did not need to attack head-on, and directly consumed and killed them.
…………
In the direction of the front army, the Qin army had completely lost its ability to resist and began to rout on a large scale.
It's not that they're not brave, it's that their resistance means nothing but costing them their lives.
The only exception was the Captain's Department, which was guarding Wei Changtian, who was still resisting in an organized manner.
Before, they were in the rear of the army, so the casualties were not very serious, so they naturally had the strength to fight.
But this resistance is only a mantis arm, as insignificant as the waves on the sea.
Wei Changtian knew at this time that his last moment had come.
Whether he was captured by the Wei and died, or self-defeating, he undoubtedly chose the latter.
For Wei Changtian, self-judgment was the most decent way to die for himself, and he was unwilling to be humiliated at the hands of the Wei people.
"Gentlemen, let's go...... Ben is about to be sentenced to death, and he has no face to see the prince again, and he deserves to ......be dead," Wei Changtian said to the military officials around him.
The surrounding military officials all exclaimed, "General...... Why bother! ”
They still plan to bring Wei Changtian back alive, so that at least they don't have to bear the charges.
"You run away, and if you continue with Ben Jiang, you will also die in the hands of the Wei people!" Wei Changtian sighed.
This is not a joke, these people follow Wei Changtian and go again, and they are likely to be wiped out by the Wei army.
Just when several military officials secretly passed colors to their subordinates and wanted to restrain Wei Changtian and forcibly take him away, they were discovered by Wei Changtian.
I saw Wei Changtian immediately put his sword across his neck, and then said resolutely: "If you don't leave, I will die in front of you immediately!"
The soldiers below can see their general's intentions, and there is nothing they can do about it, they can't force their general to die.
Seeing that his subordinate soldiers did not dare to step forward, Wei Changtian continued: "Go back and tell the prince that I will go back to Xianyang without saying a word to meet him, and apologize for his crimes...... I can only go with my brothers who died in battle! ”
At this time, what else can the military officials below say...... They have nothing to say!
Seeing that these people's faces were loose, Wei Changtian shouted even more: "Hurry up...... Walk ......"
Under the eyes of everyone, Wei Changtian tightened the sword in his hand, and after the bloody cut on his neck, he said sharply: "Go ......"
The soldiers at the bottom were loose, seeing that the Wei army was about to kill again, in order to survive, the string in their hearts was broken......
As a result, some soldiers fled, and soon they were swept into the ranks of other Qin troops who had fled, and in less than a minute, Wei Changtian's guards were completely dispersed.
At this time, Wei Changtian was really only one person left, looking at the Wei army that had already been killed, Wei Changtian smiled sadly......
…………
When Wei Changtian's head was brought to Qi Yu, the two of them didn't have time to be happy, and they had to fight for the several captains under this head.
"Let everyone below stop, this matter would have been the king, please judge the king!" Qi Yu was very dissatisfied.
I am afraid that the only way to suppress these people is to pull out the monarch, and no one dares to provoke the authority of the monarch.
"Pass the order, be sure to surround and kill all the Qin troops, this is a good opportunity from God!" Qi Yu said happily at this time.
Looking at Wei Changtian's head, Xu Zhao said slowly: "Let the military doctor deal with this head and send it to Xiping immediately!"
Sending it to Xiping is actually giving it to Wei Wuji, and it is very suitable to report the head of Wei Changtian.
Qi Yu should have agreed, he is also very concerned about retribution, and fighting a war is not for military merit.
At this time, Wang Xiu on the side said: "Two generals, now the situation of the right army is unknown, and our army should be sent to support immediately after the victory!"
This is indeed an important matter, and the current battle against the Qin State can only be regarded as a real victory after a complete victory over the Qin State.
Therefore, after the Qin army in the middle route was completely defeated, the 30,000 cavalry of the middle route army and the left route army were immediately ordered to rush to the aid of the right route army.
Among the 30,000 cavalry, there are 20,000 ironclad cavalry, which is also all the ironclad cavalry of Wei.
Now the Right Route Army, life can be described as difficult at this time.
They faced 80,000 Qin troops, while the Wei army only had 50,000 men and horses on the left, and the disadvantage was quite obvious.
Chen Zhan is a person with ideas, he wants to compete with Wang Xiuyi for the position of the main general, and he can't have the idea of retreating in the face of this situation.
Fortunately, Chen Zhan had 20,000 cavalry at his disposal, which helped him contain nearly half of the Qin army, making the pressure on the foot soldiers much less.
The Qin army still suffered from the lack of cavalry, otherwise it would not have been clumsy in the face of the Wei cavalry.
However, Chen Zhan was still under a lot of pressure, and he didn't even know how to persevere the day before.
On the morning of the sixth day of the eighth month, it was the third day after the expedition and the second day after Chen Zhan's battle with the Qin army.
At this time, the casualties of the Right Army were not small, and the whole army was exhausted, which had completely transformed into a defensive posture.
At the beginning of his contact with Qin Jun yesterday, Chen Zhan knew that something was wrong, and immediately sent Pegasus to Wei Wuji for help.
Just before the Qin army was about to attack again, Chen Zhan received a message of reinforcements, which were 30,000 cavalry led by Wang Xiu.
Chen Zhan was suddenly overjoyed, the only thing that made him a little unhappy might be Wang Xiu, who led the troops, after all, they were opponents.
Another practical difficulty is that Wang Xiu's army is still on the way, so Chen Zhan has to hold on for a while.
An hour or two is fine, but if he were to last until the afternoon, it would be a real death for him!
In fact, the Qin army opposite Chen Zhan also received the news of the annihilation of Wei Changtian's army, so their life was also very difficult.
Will it defeat the opposing Wei army in one go, or will it temporarily retreat...... The battle to lead the army is in a dilemma.
It was not until the scouts reported that a large force of cavalry had appeared fifty miles away that they forced the winner to make a real decision.
