Chapter 339: Fight and retreat from friendly forces
If you break this oath, there is such a sword!
Qin Feng made such a heavy oath in public, and he couldn't help but believe that these more than 200,000 Buddhist soldiers didn't believe it, and one by one, under the leadership of their respective lords, they began to slowly retreat towards the outside of the mouth of the fish's belly!
Hong Chou, who was standing on the hillside, saw that his feather arrows could not help Qin Feng, and saw that hundreds of thousands of Qin troops began to retreat. With such www.biquge.info a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Qin army, how could Hong Chou miss it, and hurriedly ordered hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty soldiers to desperately release arrows while following him down the mountain to chase and kill the defeated soldiers of the Qin army!
Seeing that hundreds of thousands of enemy troops of the Gupta Dynasty were chasing, Qin Feng could only let more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from various countries withdraw first, while himself, with Meng Jing and Sima Zhi, led more than 10,000 Qin troops with heavy armor and iron cavalry to intercept these Gupta Dynasty pursuers at the mouth of the fish, so as to win precious time for the retreat of more than 200,000 troops!
These more than 10,000 Qin troops are heavily armored and iron-clad, although all of them have good combat strength, but the enemy army has 500,000 people. There are so many chasing soldiers, and the terrain here is open, and there is no dangerous pass like Musang Mountain, which is not open by a husband. Therefore, Qin Feng could only take more than 10,000 iron horsemen, first rushing to kill, and then fighting and retreating. In the end, after half an hour, Qin Feng could only take more than 10,000 cavalry and retreat beyond the mouth of the fish!
Outside the mouth of the fish, there is another way arranged by Qin Feng to intercept the people, that is, the 30,000 elite Qin army led by the former general Meng Xin and the right general Li Quzhi!
These 30,000 elite Qin troops are not only covered in armor and are not afraid of thousands of arrows shot by the enemy, but they are also equipped with tens of thousands of crossbows. At this time, when they saw Qin Feng and the others fighting and retreating, they shouted loudly one by one: "General, come here!" General, come over here! ”
Qin Feng listened to this, and hurriedly retreated behind the 30,000-strong army with more than 10,000 Qin army iron cavalry. After Qin Feng and the others retreated safely, the former general Meng Xin gave an order, and tens of thousands of Qin army crossbows, under the control of the Qin army's foot crossbowmen, pursued hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty, one after another!
The 500,000 troops of the Gupta Dynasty, seeing Qin Feng and the others fighting and retreating, thought that as long as they were defeated, they would be able to level the river with one horse, and if there was no hindrance, they could gallop and chase the defeated soldiers of the Qin army! But what they never expected was that after Qin Feng and the others retreated, what appeared in front of them was not the road to heaven that was a horse and a flat river, but the cold arrows of the Qin army!
The Qin army's strong bow and crossbow are powerful, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty have already suffered a big loss.
The generals were timid in their hearts, but the right prime minister Hong Chou understood that now was the best time to eliminate the Qin army, and once such an opportunity was missed, I was afraid that if I wanted to destroy the Qin army again, it would be extremely difficult!
Hong Chou, the right prime minister, thought to himself, although there was a Qin army's arrow array in front of him, but there were no hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from various countries to help, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Qin army headquarters alone. Even if they have strong bows and crossbows, even if their combat power is extraordinary, but in this open area of the plain, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who have no danger to defend want to stop the footsteps of their hundreds of thousands of troops, it is also whimsical and foolish!
Therefore, the right prime minister Hong Chou saw that all the soldiers had the intention of retreating, and he killed hundreds of soldiers in a ruthless manner, and finally forced the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Gupta Dynasty to rush towards the Qin army's array of thousands of arrows!
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Gupta Dynasty, under the coercion of the right prime minister Hong Chou, in the rain of arrows of the Qin army, after killing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, finally rushed out of the rain of arrows of the Qin army, and the horses of the army stepped in front of the Qin army's army formation!
The former general was convinced of them, and when he saw that the Gupta Dynasty soldiers were unusual, they shot so many arrows themselves, and although they killed and wounded tens of thousands of their soldiers, they still could not stop their advance. The former general Meng Xin had no choice but to order 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army to retreat slowly while not stopping the arrows!
In this way, 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army slowly retreated, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Gupta Dynasty followed. The enemy pursued it tightly, and Qin Feng and others led more than 10,000 heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army to rush and kill, making it difficult for the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Gupta Dynasty to take care of them. After the two sides distanced themselves, the former general Meng Xin commanded 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army, and then killed and injured the enemy with non-stop arrows with crossbows, preventing the enemy from pursuing the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of various countries!
After such a delay of three or four hours, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Gupta Dynasty died under the heavy armor and iron hooves of the Qin army, and those who died under the arrows of the Qin army were no less than seventy or eighty thousand!
More than 40,000 soldiers of the Qin army headquarters blocked the 500,000 Gupta Dynasty army, which could not only delay them for three or four hours, but also kill and wound as many as 70,000 or 80,000 enemy troops. This result is both inevitable and accidental!
Among them, the inevitable is the soldiers and horses of the Qin army's headquarters, all of which have extraordinary combat power, although the Gupta Dynasty army has many soldiers and horses, in terms of its individual combat ability, it is definitely not the opponent of the Qin army's soldiers. In addition, the Qin army's tens of thousands of crossbows helped from the side, which could stop the enemy army for three or four hours, and could kill and injure seventy or eighty thousand enemy soldiers, which was not too appalling!
Among them, the accidental one is the right prime minister Hong Chou who understands in his heart that although there are only forty or fifty thousand of the tens of thousands of Qin army soldiers in front of him, they are all the elite of the Qin army. The 500,000 army under his command really wants to fight with them, although in this plain area of Ma Pingchuan, he may be able to defeat them in the end, but if you want to annihilate their entire army, it is absolutely impossible!
Because once these tens of thousands of Qin troops are exhausted, they can still run away from their horses if they want to catch up, and they will be afraid of their strong bows and crossbows. In short, if you are infinitely entangled with them, you will definitely not get any benefits!
Therefore, Hong Chou personally led hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty soldiers and horses, which seemed to be a fierce offensive, but its purpose was not to kill these tens of thousands of Qin troops. Instead, he wanted to get rid of them and go after the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of all countries who were fleeing!
These 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin army headquarters are like cowhide plasters, they can't be killed if they want to, and it's not easy to get rid of them! And the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of various countries are different, their original combat strength and fighting spirit are far inferior to the soldiers and horses of the Qin army. In addition, at this time, they fled in a panic, and one by one the army had no fighting spirit and would have no fighting spirit. If he personally led hundreds of thousands of troops and could chase them down, he would definitely be able to kill most of them, and even wipe them out, it is not impossible!
As long as these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from various countries are wiped out, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qin army's headquarters, even if they have that strong bow and crossbow, even if the soldiers of the Qin army are all extraordinary, but with only 40,000 or 50,000 horses, it will definitely not threaten the safety of the Gupta Dynasty!
Even though he can't destroy these tens of thousands of Qin troops now, he is only waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to personally lead an army of five or six hundred thousand to arrive. At that time, he will take the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers at most, want to destroy these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qin army headquarters, and want to kill the dragon elephant king Qin Feng, although it will not be as easy as being captured, but the final victory definitely belongs to the Gupta Dynasty and belongs to his own Hongchou!
Because of this, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from various countries who seem to be fleeing for their lives in a hurry at the moment have become the decisive factor in whether they can finally destroy the Qin army and whether they can finally kill the Dragon Elephant King Qin Feng! The right prime minister Hong Chou understands this, and Qin Feng, the general of the Qin army, also knows it.
It is precisely because Qin Feng knows these things that he will be desperate to let the forty or fifty thousand Qin army soldiers fight and retreat here, and always try to intercept the pursuing soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty, so that the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of various countries can escape farther, escape too far, and it is best to flee all the way to Musang Mountain.
As long as they arrive at Musang Mountain, have the advantages of the topography of Musang Mountain, and have the help of Wang Yanbo, the captain of the Qin army, and the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of various countries, can they really turn danger into disaster and escape! Only then will Qin Feng completely put his mind at ease, and Qin Jun will finally resolve this crisis and finally turn the crisis into safety!
In the end, under the retreat of the Qin army, hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty troops were intercepted for more than five hours. It is estimated that the time is almost up, and the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of various countries should have fled far enough! Qin Fengcai laughed a few times: "The whole army listens to the order!" Retire! ”
Qin Feng gave an order, and more than 40,000 soldiers of the Qin army no longer fought and retreated, but rode their horses violently, heading straight to the west, and heading straight to Musang Mountain!
These tens of thousands of Qin troops are not entangled, but after they go to the west, the right prime minister Hong Chou is in a dilemma! At this time, the more than 200,000 defeated troops have obviously gone away, and it is already the best time for them to chase and kill now! But if you let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Hong Chou will be unwilling!
Although the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of various countries, because of the destruction of Nalanda Temple, they almost collapsed one by one, and their combat strength and fighting spirit are no longer to worry! If the Qin army wants to attack the mouth of the fish again, it is almost impossible!
I just need to return to the belly of the army now, and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to personally lead the army to come to support. Then the Gupta Dynasty army assembled at the mouth of the fish will be a million people! With so many soldiers and horses, although he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to destroy the Qin army and capture its lair Harappa City, Hong Chou still had some confidence in maintaining the evenly matched strength of the two sides! In this way, whether it is himself or the Gupta Dynasty, he is almost invincible!
But Hong Chou thought about it, although the Nalanda Temple had been annihilated, Qin Feng was still the Dharma Protector of Buddhism, and he was still the Dragon Elephant King of Deva Bodhisattva. If Qin Feng thought of some way to unite these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from various countries again, let them regain their fighting strength, and then lead these hundreds of thousands of troops to use troops at the mouth of the fish again, it would be very bad!
If all this really happened, at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's army had not yet arrived, and under the Qin army's strong bow and crossbow, under the Qin army's black powder and various sharp weapons, how many hours could the hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty soldiers and horses here last?
This time, the reason why the Qin army was defeated and fled was entirely because of himself, and under the surprise of the Qin army, he told them the news of the collapse of Nalanda Temple and Magadha, and took out the treasures of Buddhism, the Buddha's true body relics. It was only then that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the Buddha Kingdom went crazy one by one, no longer obeying Qin Feng's orders, but with their enthusiasm, they broke away from the Qin army's military formation and came to fight with themselves, which led to the Qin army, which was originally in control, and ended up almost annihilated!
This time they were able to come up with such a method, it was really a fluke, if the Qin army made a comeback again, they already knew the news of the destruction of Nalanda Temple and Magadha, they already knew that Buddhism was a treasure, and the Buddha's true body relics were in their own hands. These soldiers of the Qin army, one by one, are full of grief and indignation, and they are fighting hard, and the declining army will win since ancient times, under the fierce offensive of the Qin army, is there any way to repel them?
"Nope! No! There's no way around it anymore! The right prime minister Hong Chou smiled bitterly, if Qin Feng really has a way to reintegrate these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from various countries into an army, if it is His Royal Highness the Prince, he has not yet led a large army to help. So once the Qin army makes a comeback, waiting for these hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty soldiers, waiting for themselves, in addition to the Qin army's strong bow and crossbow, and the cold Qin sword, there will only be a dead end!
In this case, it is better to take advantage of the situation to continue to pursue, although the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops have already run away, although the best opportunity to pursue them has been missed at this time! But as long as your own people don't take off their armor and don't rest their saddles, and finally catch up with these hundreds of thousands of defeated Qin troops and kill most of them, there is still a chance of more than fifty percent!
Thinking of this, the right prime minister Hong Chou no longer hesitated, and ordered in a deep voice: "The three armies listen to the order!" Ride your horse with all your might, and follow me to hunt down the Qin army! Slay them all! Avenge the death of our army! ”
