Under the frantic attack of the Qin army of the Mengwu Department, the Chu army east of Rushui had no ability to resist, suffered heavy casualties, retreated step by step, and scattered towards the river bank!

Although Jing Qi commanded his own soldiers to desperately urge the Chu army to resist stubbornly behind the battle, the situation was stronger than people, and no one in the defeated Chu army obeyed any orders, and scurried around like a group of ducks frightened by poisonous snakes!

Seeing that there were still more than 100,000 troops being chased and slaughtered by the fierce Qin army like a hunt in the rain, Jing Qi wanted to cry without tears!

"It's over, my army of 200,000 is over!" Jing Qi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, a sweet throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, floating in the wind and rain!

"General! Checkmate! The guards beside him panicked, and hurriedly rushed up to support Jing Qi!

At this moment, before Jing Qi could slow down, Fusu and Li Xin, who were west of Runu, led the victorious Qin cavalry to chase after him, and sprinkled a handful of salt on Jing Qi's wound that had already broken his liver and intestines!

"The Qin army is here! The Qin army is here! Chu Xiang is defeated! Chu Xiang is defeated! Brothers, run for your life! ”…… On the west bank of Rushui, there were panicked cries for help from the Chu soldiers who had not yet crossed the river!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of iron hooves like thunder quickly approached the west bank, and the west bank was filled with the heart-rending screams of the Chu people for a while! Jing Qi's face suddenly turned white: "It's over, the remnants of the West Bank are also over!" ”

Just when Jing Qi was a little dizzy, General Chu rushed over with a horse and shouted: "General Jing, the general situation is not good, there are a large number of Qin troops in the east and west of the river, and the Qin army is like a bamboo, our army can't withstand it!" ”

Jing Qi was anxious and shouted, "How is the young general?" Shi Xian was also anxious: "The Chu Xiang army has been defeated by the Qin army, the rest are scattered, and the life and death of the major general are unknown!" ”

Jing Qi was stunned when he heard this, listening to the shouts of the Qin army that were getting closer and closer in his ears, and ordered with a dead face: "Pass the order, the army will break through in the direction of Xinying, how much can you go!" "Wow!"

Suddenly, the letter cavalry came out in all directions, and because the Chu army no longer had any large-scale organization, the letter cavalry shouted while running: "General Jing has an order, the army breaks through to Xinying!" The army breaks through to Xinying! ……”

When the Chu army heard this, they were immediately chaotic, and they no longer had any will to resist, and fled towards the south like a tide!

"Kill ——!" At this time, the Qin army became more and more courageous, shouting and screaming from all directions, and drove the remnants of the Chu army to the river bank like a duck!

Meng Wu, the general of the Qin army, rode on his war horse in mud in the wind and rain, and commanded the attack of the Qin army nearby! Everything is so smooth, and the Chu people are so fragile, although Meng Wu feels extremely uncomfortable with the wet and cold on his body, the passionate flame in his chest makes Meng Wu have a desire to look up to the sky and howl!

At this moment, the southern flank that the Qin army had just extended out was attacked by the Chu army who were desperate to flee for their lives.

A messenger Pegasus came to report: "Report to General ——, Meng, the Chu army is organizing the remnants of the army to break through to the south!" The southern flank of our army has just arrived at the arrival position, and it is defenseless and can no longer resist, please make a decision to the general! ”

Meng Wu was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart: "It seems that the Chu people are trapped beasts and are still fighting!" After thinking for a while, he said: "You tell the troops on the southern flank, let them resist, and I will send reinforcements immediately!" "Wow!" The messenger galloped away in the wind and rain!

"Trusted!" "In!" In the wind and rain, a tall figure flashed behind Meng Wu, this is the Mengshi henchman who has followed Meng Wu for more than ten years!

"You quickly lead five thousand reserves to the south wing, and you must block the gap for me!" Meng Wu ordered sharply.

Meng Xin was stunned for a moment: "General, but I took away five thousand reserves, isn't there no army around you to protect you?" Meng Wu said angrily: "The Chu army has been defeated, and the general is behind the formation, what is the danger!" Hurry up and carry out the military orders, or you will not be spared! Meng Xin was startled and hurriedly said, "Oh! ”

Mengxin turned around and shouted, "Brothers, come with me!" Kill all the Chu army——! "Kill ......!" The last 5,000 reserves around Meng Wu also threw themselves into the battle and disappeared into the wind and rain!

However, by the time Meng Xin led the army to the southern flank of the Qin army, the defense line temporarily organized by nearly 10,000 Qin troops had been rushed to pieces by the Chu people who were desperately fleeing and fighting bravely! A large number of remnants of the Chu army are ignoring the torrential rain and the mud of the earth, and are fleeing to the south like crazy! Although the helpless Qin army fought back, they couldn't resist the courage of the Chu people's trapped beasts, and the gap was torn up by the Chu army more and more!

Seeing this, Meng Xin was anxious, wiped a handful of rain on his face, and shouted: "Kill——! Don't let go of a Chu person! "Whew——!" The Qin army roared like a pack of ferocious wolves, and stabbed heavily from the side of the Chu army like a sharp axe chisel!

The deserter of the Chu army was stopped by a blow from the waist, and he was immediately defeated, and the battle spirit that was already extremely weak immediately fell to the freezing point, and the orderly breakthrough immediately turned into a disorderly escape! When the southern wing of the Qin army saw the reinforcements coming, they cheered and redoubled their courage, slashing hard for a while, and suddenly the gap was gradually blocked!

The Chu army that fled south saw that the way was cut off, and they were terrified, and they were at a loss for what to do, and most of the Qin army around them had already swarmed in!

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng! ......"The Qin people shouted loudly in the wind and rain, and forced the remaining tens of thousands of Chu troops to the narrow river bank in the sound of neat and powerful military trumpets!

"The Chu people can't descend! The Chu people will not descend! ...... "The Qin army either stomped on the ground with halberds or stomped on the ground with their feet, and called surrender to the Chu people according to the ancient custom!"

"The Chu people don't descend! Chu people do not descend! ......""We surrender! We surrender! ......" In the wind and rain in the sky, there was the shouting of the Chu army with different opinions!

Meng Wu frowned: "Dare not surrender!" I really don't know whether to live or die! He shouted: "Beat the drums and march in a hurry, and those who do not surrender will be killed!" "Wow!" Dozens of war drums on the chariot resounded again and again in the heavy rain, and the huge sound came like a wave of rushing waves!

"Kill ——!" Seeing that the last chance for military merit had come, the Qin army cheered and jumped over, crossed the robe in front of them, which looked a little staggering because of the several heads hanging on their bodies, and pounced on the Chu people!

In the eyes of the Qin army, the Chu people in front of them were prey, food, mansions, and wives, so they were fanatical without the slightest hesitation, so they smiled and grabbed the weapons in their hands!

On the muddy bank of the river, countless pale Chu soldiers knelt in the foot-deep muddy water, raising their weapons above their heads, hoping to escape to death!

The fierce Qin army stepped on the flying mud, rushed past the Chu army's soldiers, and shouted and pounced on the remnants of the Chu army who were fighting to the death! Seeing this, the soldiers of the Chu army couldn't help but feel relieved, knowing that they could finally escape for their lives, they couldn't help but sit in the muddy water one after another, and they were afraid!

The battle on the east bank of Rushui was gradually coming to an end, and the last remnants of the Chu army were either killed on the spot or driven into the mighty Rushui under the rapid attack of the Qin army!

At this time, due to the large number of Qin troops and the small number of Chu troops, many of the Qin troops in the rear had not had time to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and the battle was basically over. The Qin army, which has a hot temper and loves military exploits, is in a hurry, and often several people surround and kill a Chu person, no matter whether the Chu people surrender or fight at this time, it is a chaotic blade to cut down, and then they compete for the head of the Chu people like crazy. There are even swords and soldiers who meet each other! For a while, there was a small commotion in the military formation of the Qin army's brave assault!

At this time, the law enforcement team in the Qin army appeared, and they galloped viciously with halberds! The Qin soldiers who snatched the enemy's head were shocked when they saw this, knowing that the law enforcement team was not guilty of killing the rebels, they couldn't help but scatter in fright, and rushed into the army formation to continue to attack, hoping to gain the favor of God at the last chance!

Suddenly, a Qin army screamed, and under the leadership of a group of Qin cavalry, it killed the last Chu army guarding the pontoon bridge on the bank of the river like a thorn and a wave, and came to the edge of the pontoon bridge!

A second lieutenant of the Qin army smiled and looked at the Chu army on the pontoon bridge that was still densely crowded, at this time the Chu army was blocked in front of them, and there were pursuers in the back, and they were advancing and retreating on the pontoon bridge, crying in panic with the ups and downs of the big waves!

The second lieutenant of the Qin army looked at the rushing and roaring Rushui, suddenly had an idea, waved his big hand, and said cruelly: "Cut off the pontoon bridge and let all the Chu people go to see the river god!" "Oh! ——"The Qin soldiers, who were stimulated by the tragic battle, heard a strange scream, smiled and waved the weapons in their hands, and slashed down heavily under the frightened faces of the Chu soldiers on the pontoon bridge!

"Once! Twice! Three times ......""Horn! Trumpet! Trumpet! ......" There was a crisp crash in the rain curtain, and the sixteen thick cables that connected the pontoon bridge to the solid piers broke one by one, and the pontoon, which had been undulating with the waves, immediately trembled violently like a flat boat in the vast sea! The Chu people cried and shouted, unable to stand on the pontoon, pulling each other and planting themselves into the turbulent torrent, and they were swallowed by death without even hitting a whirlpool!

"Horn!" This sound of collapse was a greeting of death to the Chu soldiers on the pontoon bridge! In the frightened and earth-colored wails of the Chu people, the last cable that maintained the stability of the pontoon bridge was also cut by the Qin army!

"Whoa...... Click......! "As the cable broke, a fierce wave swept in rapidly, and a wave swept the pontoon bridge with no strength, and the ear drum was filled with the sound of the pontoon being smashed by the wave. And the leaf ferryboat under the pontoon bridge was also swept by the huge waves, and countless people capsized.

The Chu people on the pontoon bridge also came to the end of life at this time, and with the huge waves falling into the river one after another, the heads of people floated and wailed on the turbulent and wide river for a while! The people of Chu struggled, shouted, and struggled, trying to break free from the arms of death! However, the great power of the violent nature extinguished their last hope, and as one huge wave after another swooped in, the water soon became quiet! Except for the still raging river, there is no life!

The remnants of the fighting continued, but at this point it could no longer be called a battle, it could be called a one-sided slaughter......

Gradually, the rain stopped, and the sun peeked out of the clouds, showing a bright smile! In the distant sky, a huge rainbow is erected in the sky, emitting colorful millilights, which is extremely spectacular and beautiful!

However, the air after the rain should have been clear and natural, but at this moment, on the shore of Rushui, it is bloody and pungent!

As far as the eye can see, the corpses floating on both sides of the Rushui River are dozens of miles, and the corpses of the Chu people who have been destroyed in the war are stacked on top of each other, almost submerging the earth! Teams of Qin soldiers were cleaning the battlefield in the foot-reaching mud in wet clothes, and they carried out the body of a Chu man who had been soaked a little from the muddy water, ready to be buried together!

However, the Chu army that died on land, the Qin army can still do their best to bury them! But the Chu people who died in Rushui, there was nothing the Qin army could do! Looking at Rushui from the sky, the floating corpses on the wide and rushing river floated downstream, and the huge number made the clouds in the sky still a little gloomy! In the narrow part of the river, a large number of dead bodies piled up and even stuffed the water to the point that it could not flow for a while, and under the continuous high water level, the water overflowed the embankment, and washed away countless fertile fields on both sides!

Near Rushui, it has become a huge morgue for the Chu army, and in this battle, hundreds of thousands of Chu army corpses are here! The main force of Jing Qi's former army no longer exists!

******

Early the next morning, Rushui, which was furious by a momentary rainstorm, finally quieted down, and Fusu, who was waiting a little anxiously on the river bank, finally took a ferry boat to cross the Runu first to meet Mengwu!

In the distance, the tall and majestic Meng Wuzheng led the main generals of the Qin army to greet the marquis on the shore! As soon as Fusu got off the boat, he smiled and said, "General Meng, generals, hard work!" "I've seen you!" Everyone saluted!

"Excuse me, excuse me! General Meng, what were the results of yesterday's battle? Has the commander of the Chu army ever been caught? Fusu asked happily.

Meng Wu smiled: "It can be regarded as a big victory!" Our soldiers killed and captured more than 100,000 Chu troops on the east bank, but Jing Qi himself escaped with the remnants of the army! ”

Fusu said with some regret: "I also have 20,000 people on the west bank, plus those who died in Rushui, I'm afraid there are few of Jingqi's 200,000 troops!" It's a pity that Jing Qi was not caught, otherwise this battle would have been perfect! ”

Meng Wu said with a smile: "Although it is a good thing that Bi Qi contributed to the battle! But things often don't go your way! What instructions does the king have for the current situation? Fusu smiled and waved his hand and said, "General Meng is polite, I'm just supervising the army this time, just help!" When it comes to commanding operations, I'm overstepping my authority! It's better for General Meng to cut himself off, and Benjun will lead his troops to cooperate! ”

Meng Wu saw how enlightened Fusu was, and he couldn't help but praise it in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Then let's do it first, I will send the rear army to build a pontoon bridge on the Rushui River first, so that the Junshang's troops can cross the river first and gather with our troops, but our army will take action according to the military situation!" How is it? ”

Fusu nodded and said: "Yesterday there was a heavy rain, it is estimated that a lot of roads were washed away, and the battle situation of General Wang Lao and Xiang Yanhou's army has not been transmitted by military envoys!" Wait, with the specific location of the Chu army, we will send troops to cooperate with the old general to annihilate the Chu army! ”

Meng Wu nodded, and immediately ordered the Qin army to start building a pontoon bridge on the Ru River! By the afternoon, the pontoon bridge was completed, and Li Xin on the west bank led his cavalry to cross the river overnight, and all of them reached the east bank of Rushui!

And it wasn't until the evening that Fusu and Meng Wu were discussing the military situation in the military camp on the east bank, when suddenly a personal soldier came to report that a messenger from General Wang Jian had arrived! Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's finally here, call it quickly!" "The pro-soldiers are ordered to retreat!

The belated messenger hurried into the tent, and when Fusu looked up, he couldn't help but be startled: he saw that the tall messenger was in tattered clothes, his face was thin, and his body was covered with mud, and he was not much better than a beggar! Fusu exclaimed, "How did the messenger look like this? ”

The messenger smiled bitterly and said, "The villain should have arrived yesterday, but after a heavy rain, the torrent washed away the road, and the villain had to go around the rugged path. The trail is very dangerous, there are many horses that can't walk, and the villain walked for a whole day and a night before he walked out of the mountains, but it became like this! Fortunately, MeSign is still there, intact, and the villain finally didn't work hard in vain! ”

Fusu was moved: "The messenger has worked hard, come here, reward the messenger with ten catties of gold, and take it down to rest!" "Wow!" The soldiers took the messenger down!

Fusu hurriedly took the brocade box, dismantled the fire paint, and took out the military intelligence bamboo slips wrapped in oilcloth, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at a glance: intact! After a closer look, Fusu handed over the bamboo slip to Meng Wu, and Meng Wu also read it!

The two of them came to the vicinity of the combat sand table and looked at the battle situation. After looking at it for a while, Fusu said: "General Wang Jian said that after Xiang Yan's department was heavily damaged by our army near Donggang, he fled all the way to the east. Later, after hearing that Jing Qi was ambushed by our troops, he also judged that it was the work of General Meng's troops, so he thought that he had been attacked from the front and back, so he did not dare to go east, and led the remnants of the Chu army all the way south, preparing to cross the Rushui from the south and retreat to Xinying! Xiang Yan is really cunning, although he takes a detour, he can avoid the head-on volley of me and General Meng! I look at the situation, Xiang Yan should have crossed Rushui now, but with General Wang chasing after him, I'm afraid his troops will also suffer heavy casualties! "Fusu sees that the war situation is very good, and it is naturally full of spring breeze!

Meng Wu nodded and said, "Yes! Xiang Yan is much more cunning than Jing Qi, and it is not so easy to annihilate him! Now that the remnants of Jing Qi are also advancing southward, and they may have converged with the remnants of Xiang Yan, our army should immediately send troops to cooperate with General Wang Lao to pursue the Chu army and annihilate as much of the Chu army's living forces as possible, so that our army will save much effort to attack Xinying in the future! ”

Fusu nodded and said, "Okay, early tomorrow morning, Benjun and General Li will lead 40,000 headquarters first, and General Meng will be fine later!" Meng Wu thought for a while and said: "The king and Chu Xiang fought fiercely, although they basically annihilated Chu Xiang, but the casualties were very large, should I pull out another 10,000 cavalry to help the king?" ”

Fusu shook his head and said, "No need, pursue the poor kou, there shouldn't be too strong a counterattack!" However, Benjun also feels pain when he thinks about it, although the battle between the West Bank and Chu Xiang almost wiped out 5,000 Chu Xiang elite soldiers, but the headquarters suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, which can be described as a real tragic victory! Especially 'wolf's fang. Breaking the army's loss of nearly half, I'm afraid that if you want to recover, you won't be able to do it in a year and a half! It's disgusting! ”

Meng Wu saw that Fu Su Wu was a little indignant, and comforted: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be too worried! Despite this, it is still a miracle that the monarch fought hard to annihilate Chu Xiang, and after the battle of exterminating Chu is over, the monarch can choose brave people in each army to make up for it! Fusu had no choice but to nod painfully, but in his heart, he asked Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang's ancestors all over again!

The next day, Fusu and Mengwu did not dare to delay, and led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south to pursue the remnants of the Chu army!
