Chapter 258: Li Hui's death is not dishonored
The fire in the Valley of the Sinking Tree burned for two days and two nights before it gradually went out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe mountains and forests on the north side of the Sunken Tree Valley, which were originally high and dense, and the scenery was unique, also became a scorched earth at this time. Except for the sparks and the puffs of black smoke, there is no trace of green to be seen!
After the wildfire was extinguished, Demu. Gupta couldn't wait to send a sergeant up to check the casualties of the Qin army! Although he already knew that most of the Qin army had fled to the bottom of the Shenshu Valley, Demu. Gupta still thought that the fire was so fierce that the enemy army of 30,000 or 40,000 people might not have all escaped!
The soldiers sent back to report that not a single corpse of the Qin army had been found on the cliff on the north side of the Shenshu Valley. Demu. Gupta was a little discouraged when he heard this, but this was also in Demu. Gupta is expected! Anyway, now the Dragon Elephant King Qin Feng, as well as the main force of the Qin army, have been trapped to death by themselves at the bottom of the Sinking Tree Valley.
Demu. Gupta thought to himself, as long as he guards the cliffs on both sides, so that the Qin army cannot escape from here, there is no water source at the bottom of the Shenshu Valley, and there is only food for the corpses of war horses, so he can stay up for three or five days, whether it is Qin Feng, the dragon elephant king, or the main force of the tens of thousands of Qin troops, it is not a fish and turtle in the urn, let it be slaughtered by himself!
Just Demu. Gupta didn't know that the sergeant he sent did not find that on the cliff on the north side of the Sunken Tree Valley, there were not only Qin troops at this time, but also dozens of Qin army soldiers who were still alive. These dozens of soldiers of the Qin army are Li Hui, the five hundred lords of the Qin army, and 37 soldiers of the Qin army in light clothes!
After Qin Feng and the others went down to the valley that day, Li Hui and 37 soldiers of the Qin army in light clothes hid in the deep pit dug in advance. In this deep pit, they not only escaped the raging fire, but also the eyes of the Gupta Dynasty soldiers!
At this time, Li Hui, along with 37 lightly clothed dead soldiers of the Qin army, had already left the Shenshu Valley and headed all the way to the west! At this time, they were all covered with black and gray, their faces were extremely haggard, and they also had many burns on their bodies. But as long as they are alive, they must convey the general's message to the former general, and they will be convinced that they will know!
And Qin Feng and the others, after going down to the bottom of the valley to meet Meng Jing and the others, everyone joined the army and hibernated in that military array. Waiting for the former general Meng Xin to lead the main army to come, waiting for the moment when he will get out of trouble and fight back!
Just on that day, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army, when they climbed down the rope, were shot and killed by the enemy on the cliff. In addition, more than 60,000 soldiers of the Qin army such as Meng Jing were shot and killed by the enemy in order to cover Qin Feng and others. At this time, at the bottom of the Shenshu Valley, the soldiers and horses under the command of the two were combined, and there were only 80,000 soldiers left!
After the Qin army integrated the soldiers and horses of various countries in Harappa City, the original cavalry was a little more than 200,000. Sima Zhi's vanguard army took away 50,000, the remaining more than 150,000 cavalry, Meng Jing took another 100,000, and the remaining more than 50,000 cavalry were led by General Qin Feng! Of the 150,000 cavalry of the Qin army, there are now only 80,000 left, and these 80,000 cavalry, at the bottom of this Shenshu Valley, there is not a single war horse to ride.
In the battle of Shenshu Valley, in just two days, the Qin army suffered casualties of more than 70,000 elite cavalry, and whether it was Qin Feng or Meng Jing, they all fell into the enemy's ambush trap. With such a fiasco and so many casualties, the Qin army has never been able to raise troops since the day Qin Cheng raised its troops! It was precisely after these two days of fiasco that the Qin army understood that the Gupta Dynasty was not so vulnerable! Qin Feng and the others understood how rare it was for Sima Li to lead an army of 50,000 vanguards a few days ago and kill an army of 300,000 Gupta Dynasty and almost wipe out the entire army! How lucky!
"Li Hui, what did you say? The general fell into the trap of the enemy? What is the situation of the Admiral at this time? ”
"Former general, please relax! The general had already joined forces with Captain Meng Du at this time, and they were now holding on to the bottom of the Sinking Tree Valley, and their lives were not in danger for the time being! Li Hui spat out a mouthful of blood and repeated the battle situation that day to Meng Xin and other generals of the Qin army. In addition, it was repeatedly emphasized that the enemy's commander-in-chief, Demu. Gupta is full of tricks, so that the former general must be careful!
Hearing that General Qin Feng had joined forces with Meng Jing, and there was no danger to his life for the time being, Meng Xin was slightly relieved! At this time, Meng Xin found that Li Hui, who came to report the news, not only had a gray face, but also was extremely haggard. And his body was covered with burns, and there were several wounds, and almost all the bones could be seen.
Meng Xin knew that Li Hui was so seriously injured that he was able to come to report the news at this time, completely supported by a strong will. Meng Xin's eyes showed a look of heartache, patted Li Hui's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Li Hui, I've hurt you!" Ben will thank you for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army! Thank you for the tens of thousands of Qin people! ”
Speaking of which, Meng Xin called the military medical officer and hurriedly treated Li Hui and others, such a serious burn has been delayed for so many days, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that my life will be in danger! Who knew that after the medical officer came, he found that Li Hui had died of anger, and 16 of the remaining 37 lightly clothed dead soldiers were like Li Hui, and they couldn't survive when they saw it!
And the rest of the 21 lightly clothed dead soldiers fell asleep with snoring at this time! After being so seriously injured, they were still able to sleep, it is not difficult to imagine how they have endured so hard in the past few days to survive the raging fire! The former general Meng Xin and the generals of the Qin army in the tent, as well as more than a dozen lords of various countries, looked at the corpses of Li Hui and other 17 people, and looked at the 21 lightly clothed dead soldiers who were sleeping soundly, and everyone had slightly red circles in their eyes and burst into tears!
The former general, Meng Xin, calmed down a little, turned his head to look at the lords of various countries and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know Demu. Who is Gupta ? ”
Seeing Mengxin's question, King Vajra Diedo Vajra stepped forward and said, "Former general, Demu. Gupta is the nephew of the King of the Sea Protector, it is rumored that this person does not learn and has no skills, so he has to look for flowers and ask willows in his life, and he is a famous playboy in the Gupta Dynasty! I never thought that this person had never led troops into battle, and he would have such a strategy! ”
Meng Xin snorted coldly when he heard this: "Playboy? Ben will not care if he is a real playboy or a fake gentleman, and he will go against my Qin army, Demu. Gupta is dead! Set fire to my general, he will set fire, think my Qin army will not? If you talk about fire attack, my Qin people are Ta Demu. Gupta ancestors! ”
Seeing Meng Xin say this, the generals of the Qin army opened their mouths and asked, "Former general, do you have any ideas?" ”
Meng Xin smiled coldly: "General, they are trapped at the bottom of the Sunken Tree Valley at this time, and the enemy army is stationed in the mountains and forests on both sides, and our army is just setting a big fire!" Even if this fire can't wipe out their entire army, at least it will keep them scrambling for a while, and it will also make the enemy lose the cover of the dense forest and be exposed to our arrows! ”
"In this way, my Qin army's strong bow and crossbow can come in handy! I don't believe it, Tademu. Gupta is no longer scheming, in the face of hundreds of thousands of hand crossbows, tens of thousands of foot crossbows and thousands of hundred-man giant crossbows of our army, what tricks can he play? ”
"This time, I don't fight with him Gupta Dynasty to fight for the strength of the soldiers, nor with him to fight the number of soldiers and horses, let alone with him to compete with intrigues, this time, I want to use the equipment of the Qin army to completely crush them! Kill them all, not a single one will be left! Avenge Li Hui and other fallen soldiers of the Qin army! A bad breath for the general! ”
After Mengxin said this, the generals of the Qin army all nodded again and again when they heard it. The heart says that ginger is still old and spicy! In addition to being caught in the trap of the enemy, the more important reason is that the generals led the light cavalry of the Qin army and did not carry heavy weapons and equipment such as crossbows. Once the cavalry is in danger, there is no other way than to fight desperately and bloodily!
And this point, Mengxin saw it clearly! That's why Meng Xin decided to set fire to the mountain, exposing the enemy army to the arrows of the Qin army! After all, the soldiers and horses of the Qin army are all pawns now, although the mobility is not strong, but the crushing weapons and equipment such as foot crossbows, hundred-person giant crossbows, and black powder are inexhaustible and inexhaustible!
Seeing that everyone had no objections, the former general Meng Xin said in a deep voice: "Although the generals are not in danger of their lives for the time being, there is no water source at the bottom of the Shenshu Valley, and the generals will not be able to last long!" The congregation will obey the order! The whole army immediately set off for the Valley of the Sinking Tree, and within five days, the enemy army in the Valley of the Sinking Tree was to be destroyed and the general rescued! ”
