Zhu Lijian was anxious, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he still tried his best to be calm in the face of danger, and asked Sima Cuo for details in a hurry, and asked: "General Sima Cuo, don't worry, how many people do you see on the other side, have you already been fighting?" ”

Sima replied wrongly: "The incident happened suddenly, and I received a report from the most junior in the back, so I hurried over and reported it to Gongzi. It is still unknown how many people there are on the other side, but the smoke and dust that rose from their troops as they marched was very staggering. ”

Zhu Liji's heart was cold again, how dare he be careless, so he hurriedly ordered: "General Sima Cuo rush back as soon as possible, let the soldiers throw away their baggage, and rush to the east bank of the river as soon as possible." By the time you arrive, my second group of troops will be able to cross the river. ”

Sima took the wrong order to say goodbye, and hurried to his palace troops. At this time, the sky was close to dark, and the light was already very weak, however, at this moment, he suddenly saw that in the rear of his troops, there was a sky-high fire, reflecting the sky clearly.

Then thick smoke billowed up, covering the sky and rising towards the sky, accompanied by thick smoke, and bursts of shouts of killing sounded. Zhu Lijian was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled, and he said in his heart: "Oh no, the follow-up troops of the Qin army are in trouble." ”

He sent messengers to the rear to inspect the situation, and he himself watched with great anxiety the empty boats, wooden reins, and urns rowing from the west bank of the river, where the first troops had crossed the river to receive the equipment for the subsequent troops.

In the sound of covering up in the rear, in the waiting in front, he experienced the most thrilling and tense moment of his life, this is the most difficult time he has encountered since he participated in the battle of the Qin army, and a few blinks of his eyes at this moment, but for him, it seems as if he has spent so much time.

Fortunately, the river-crossing equipment on the west bank was transported back quickly enough, and he waited for about a moment before he saw that the temporary river-crossing equipment such as wooden boats and urns had arrived, and at this moment, General Sima Cuo's royal high-end troops also rushed to the east bank of the river.

He immediately ordered all the Qin troops to cross the river, leaving no troops on the east bank, and no baggage and other materials were concerned, as long as people could cross the river.

He himself boarded a large wooden boat, and not long after he got on the boat, he saw that the firelight he had seen before was approaching the east bank of the river, and in the firelight, he saw Su Qin, who was neatly dressed, riding on a war horse, and behaved serenely and gracefully.

Beside Su Qin, there were three tiger generals closely following, one was carrying a silver gun, heroic and cool, it was General Ning Jun whom he recognized, and the other two, one was tall and mighty, holding a big iron lance, and the other was a fierce general.

Standing on the bank of the river on horseback were Su Qin and Ning Jun, Yan Sui and Zhou Shao, who pursued the Qin army to the east bank, where they were pointing out the messy scene, talking and laughing.

He looked at his Qin army again, all the personnel had already boarded the ship safely, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. Zhu Li hurriedly said loudly to Su Qin on the east bank: "Su Qin, you are a step late, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, you missed the best opportunity to attack my Qin army." ”

Su Qin, who was on the shore over there, heard the shouts of Zhu Liji, laughed a long time, and replied: "Zhu Liji, you have fallen for my bluff, don't you understand!" ”

When he heard this, he was stunned and thought, "Hey, isn't Su Qin's coalition army really planning to attack our army?" How is this possible, he snatched the boat crossing the river again, and led the army to cover up, could it be that he just wanted to scare me? ”

He didn't believe it, he also laughed and said, "It's because you are unwilling to accept the reality and make an excuse for yourself." Why do I think you can't chase and fall short? ”

Su Qin waved his right hand back, and at this time, four or five hundred soldiers rushed from behind them, and they escorted a group of prisoners of war of the Qin army, all of whom were dejected and did not dare to look forward. Subsequently, four or five hundred soldiers carried the baggage dropped by the Qin army to the shore.

Su Qin pointed to these trophies of his own, and said to Yu Liji: "I am sure that you have sent someone to prepare the ferry in advance, so instead of pursuing your retreat, you will specially send light cavalry to attack your backup ferry force, if you don't believe it, you can ask these captured Qin soldiers." ”

It was only at this time that he realized a little, and he once again felt that Zhang Yi's original words relayed by Gao Sheng might not have any deception, and it was impossible for the coalition army to attack the retreating large army of the Qin State.

But he still couldn't fully believe what Su Qin said, so he said: "I clearly saw your wolf smoke, which rose several miles high, and the smoke was rising, but you took them with you, how can you explain it." ”

Su Qin Langlang laughed and replied, "What kind of wolf smoke is that, it's just that we burned the ferry boat that captured you." ”

As he spoke, he waved his arm to the people around him, and his soldiers understood, so they set fire to the remaining dozen or so ferries that had been dismantled into planks, and set them on fire.

Su Qin said loudly: "Burning the ferry here today, bluffing to make you flee in embarrassment, is just another lesson to the Qin army, if you dare to step into the east bank of the river and bully the eastern princes, we will let you go and have no return." ”

At this time, he also began to regret that he was in a panic and did not have time to consider the true intentions of the coalition forces in detail. However, the urgency of the mission, coupled with his young age, did not allow him to accumulate enough military experience, so it was also reasonable.

However, he could not be easily convinced, and he also shouted back: "As long as we want, the banks of this river are our territory everywhere." Our Qin army can come if you want to, and leave if you want, can't you help us?

Su Qin heard the tough answer of Zhu Liji, and his heart was not a good feeling, although this time when the Qin army withdrew, he "robbed" and let the Qin people lose their baggage and leave, but after all, he failed to retain the main force of the Qin army.

In this battle of Anyi, the coalition army won by luck, if it wasn't for Gongsun Yan to light the enemy, maybe it was the coalition troops who were currently evacuated, if that was the case, could the coalition army withdraw as clean as the Qin army? I am afraid that the wolves rushed and fled, throwing off their armor and fleeing in all directions.

Su Qin didn't want to fight with Zhu Li anymore, and he shouted to the ferry boat at the very end: "None of us have to talk wildly, there will be a period later." ”

He heard the shouts of the ferry, "There will be a time later!" Su Qin turned his horse's head, took the generals and soldiers, and left the east bank of the burning river.

The Battle of Anyi came to an end, and although it did not encircle and annihilate a part of the Qin army, the strength of the joint operations of the eastern princes demonstrated in this battle was enough to attract attention, and opened the way for the implementation of the grand plan.
