Chapter 81: Vitality
The people of Guanzhong have been tenacious and stubborn since ancient times, and their straight-tempered subordinates couldn't understand the general's hard work at all, so they stiffened their necks and shouted: "General Li, Bao (don't) beg him again, the hungry people who beg for life are not rare, it's a man's drop, kill him and beg for pleasure."

Li Xin did not lack the courage to die, only the guy who was most familiar with the Qin people could realize how difficult it was to make him bow his head, the whole battlefield suddenly quieted down, waiting for him to make a decision, looking at the familiar eyes around him, stubborn and unwilling......
Several times he opened his mouth, he couldn't say the words to put down his blade, if the Chu people reversed, it would be the last and most serious mistake he made in his life, he really couldn't face the disappointed eyes of his comrades.
Just when he was in a dilemma of life and death, the shouting of killing was getting closer and closer, and the strange thing was that it was reasonable to say that Qu Ding should have arrived a long time ago, but it was still delayed until now.
The quiet battlefield gave Li Xin the opportunity to distinguish the sound in the distance, and when he listened carefully, what came from a distance was not the sound of marching horses' hooves, but the sound of fighting all night!
The fire in Li Xin's eyes burned again, that's right! It's the sound of fighting, it must be Meng Tian who led the army to come, and the two reinforcements came unexpectedly, and they fought halfway!
Picking up the spear again, Li Xin roared: "Break through!" General Mengwu's army is right behind us! ā
The hope of surviving to the death reawakened the morale of the Qin army, in comparison, the relaxed atmosphere just now made the Chu army have a little slack, and the morale can not be discharged, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and the sudden change makes the Chu army lower in morale.
Xiang Yan already regretted his thoughts, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Release the arrow!" ā
The rain of arrows in the sky could not stop the Qin people's desire to survive, and they thought that Qu Ding would immediately lead the troops to come, so the encirclement of the Qin army's back road was the weakest.
The sound of fighting in the distance became higher and higher, Xiang Yan didn't dare to place his hopes on Qu Ding, seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, he was suddenly in a hurry: "Chase me, what about the chariots, how many chariots are there, all of them will catch up!" ā
"General, the two thousand chariots are now less than a hundred, and most of the horses are wounded......"
"Pick a chariot that can still move, a cart of five people, chase me!"
The thin rear army couldn't stop the pace of the Qin people at all, and they were trampled under their feet after a few faces, just a moment's delay, which made the old Qin people pay a lot of money, but finally saw a glimmer of light through the encirclement.
The two strong armies are both veteran powerhouses, the rules of the road and the escape are not chaotic, the murder that follows is like hemp, and the pursuit is quiet like a rapid march, only the place where the end meets is constantly devouring life.
The blood of the Qin people was sprinkled all the way, and the Chu army gradually fell behind, many people fell to the ground while running, and the fierce battle of a day and a night consumed everyone's spirit, and it was only a breath that could support the two armies to persist until now.
It was also Li Xin's fate that should not be extinguished, just escaped a few miles, he saw the two armies in the battle, very lucky, the first to enter the black-clothed sergeant and Mengwu Daxu, after the two armies combined together, Li Xin only had time to say "all listen to General Meng's orders" and fainted.
Xiang Yan stood on a chariot in a daze, his eyes were full of regret, his own thought made the battle unfinished, and the battle on the mountain in the distance was in full swing, he decided to cooperate with Qu Ding to test Mengwu's military strength again.
Everyone was exhausted, and he didn't believe that Meng Wu, who had arrived overnight, could withstand the attack of the two armies.
"Archers prepare! Shoot the arrows! ā
The soft arrows sparsely hit the shield of the Qin army, Xiang Yan frowned, and when he looked back, there was a strange herald beside him, and even the herald had changed several times, and the tragedy of the battle could be seen.
Just thinking about it, a red-clothed sergeant hurriedly came: "General Qiqi, I am General Qu Ding's subordinate, General Qu hopes that the general will lead troops to attack and break the Qin army together!" ā
Xiang Yan smiled bitterly: "How is the battle between General Qu's troops and the Qin army?" ā
"Hold on!"
"Our army has lost its advantage in the first place, and if it drags on further, it will only increase casualties, give the order, and withdraw the troops."
"But General, our department is still ready to fight now!"
Xiang Yan was not angry, and turned around and pointed to the tired sergeant: "But they can't hold on, General Qu won't come to join forces again, and soon we will end up like the Qin army that has just been slaughtered!" ā
The herald clenched his fists and left, Xiang Yan's face was full of worry, although the current Chu army was outnumbered, it was only a false appearance, he tried to pick out a sergeant who still had a bit of strength to confront the Qin army, but he didn't dare to harass it, and the superfluous actions would only expose his weakness.
This kind of torment lasted for more than an hour, and when Qu Ding led the troops to come, Xiang Yan finally put his heart back in his stomach.
"General, the end will be too late, please forgive the general."
"It's just in time, and I'm relieved to see you."
"Why didn't the general take advantage of the victory to pursue?"
Xiang Yan drooped his eyelids tiredly: "Now the whole army still needs the protection of your department, otherwise the slightest carelessness will be a reversal, after this battle, at least a full month of rest before you can fight again......"
Qu Ding was taken aback: "So serious? How is the damage of our army? ā
"It's not counted yet, it's just that now the whole army has no combat power, and the rest will be handed over to you, old man, no......"
"Whoa!"

At this time, the big tent of the Qin army, Meng Wu was anxious like an ant in a hot pot, Li Xin had been unconscious since he came back, and now he had a high fever, how could this be good.
Although Meng Wu and Li Xin each led an army, Li Xin was nominally the main general and he was the deputy general, and if the two armies were defeated in the battle, he would not be able to escape the blame as the deputy general.
"Father, it's useless for you to be anxious now, it's better for the child to lead a team and break the Yan army!"
"Ridiculous, you give me an honest stare at Qu Ding, now our army is not on a stable footing, and the enemy is on the back of the enemy, Xiang Yan is already fortunate not to come, you dare to say such arrogant words!"
"Father, that Xiang Yan is already at the end of the crossbow, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to come, the child dares to take the head as a guarantee, as long as there is a cavalry to rush and kill, the trouble behind us will be solved immediately!"
"You are more capable than General Li Xin?!"
Meng Tian bowed his head and said, "The child doesn't dare to ......"
"You are my son, I know what you are thinking, every general and colonel will be punished for the defeat of the whole army, and if you want to lead the troops, you have to establish meritorious service, but now is the time to fight for merit?!"
"Father, the child has no such intention, it's just that the fighter plane is fleeting......"
"Don't say it anymore, now everything is focused on the overall situation, you only think about how to break the enemy, Tian'er, have you ever thought about how to bring this remnant army back to Daqin!"
As he was talking, Li Xin woke up with a chirp, and Meng Wu stepped forward quickly: "General Li, how do you feel now?" ā
Li Xin's eyes were dilated for a long time before he refocused, looked at Meng Wu in front of him, and immediately cried bitterly: "Li Xin is useless, thanks to the old general's rescue, the army, the army is no longer ......."
"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's all over, Changpingjun's rebellion is all unexpected by you and me, it's not your fault, General Li, you take care of it, we have to go back to Qin."
"It's all my fault! When passing through Yingchen, I also suspected Changping Jun, after all, he was from Chu, but my father had been the Taishou of Nanjun for many years, so I was careless! ā
