Chapter 244: Wang Li's Army
Yan Le led more than 50,000 troops to pursue all the way, and in order to destroy the child, he was also relentless. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info entered Shangjun, which is the foundation of Ziying, Yan Le did not have any scruples. Meng Tian is dead, and even in Shangjun, he has an absolute advantage in terms of troops.
Suddenly, the army in front of him surged, and from a distance, a rough calculation showed about 10,000 people. This 10,000-strong army is a coalition of counties in the upper county, which came to meet the child.
The news of Meng Tian's death outside Daliang City also spread all over the world, and the people of the Six Kingdoms naturally breathed a sigh of relief, such a fierce death, the threat to the Six Nations was much smaller. And the people of the Qin State were grief-stricken and felt sorry for it, even in Xianyang, there were many people who denounced Zhao Gao, Meng Tian was the first warrior of Great Qin after all.
The people of Shangjun knew that the situation of Ziying was critical, and at this critical moment, the county orders from all over the country hurriedly recruited soldiers, and now don't look at this as an army of 10,000, in the real sense, or the militia is more appropriate. These recruits don't have any combat experience at all, so in such an emergency situation, do the county commanders still have time to train?
Ziying swept past these recruits, many of whom were middle-aged, but the formation of these people still looked immature. After marching and fighting for so long, Ziying could also see that the combat power of these recruits was very low, and compared to Yan Le's prisoner army, it could be said that they were vulnerable.
With the addition of these recruits, not only did they not improve their combat power, but they also slowed down the speed of Ziying's evacuation, and after continuing to move forward for dozens of miles, Yan Le finally arrived.
The two sides were in an endless hostility, and there was no need to call for battle before the battle, Yan Le directly ordered the attack. Ziying also began to organize defenses with the assistance of Meng Yi. In this open outskirts, there is no geographical advantage to rely on, Ziying's 20,000 border troops lined up in turn, shooting bows and arrows to counterattack, while those recruits are still in a panicked formation, and they may only be reduced to the role of cannon fodder in this battle.
The prisoners charged quickly, and although the arrows of the border army caused them many casualties, they still could not stop these manic soldiers. After the hand-to-hand encounter, the border army immediately fell into the disadvantage, and the gap in strength could not be made up for in this kind of terrain without support.
Yan Le was in the rear, and when he saw that his own advantage was very great, he also laughed, thinking in his heart, as long as he killed Ziying, after returning to Xianyang, it would be a great achievement. "Ziying, Ziying, I, Yan Le, want to see how you escape again today?"
"Childe, Yi is here to lead the troops to resist, you better evacuate quickly." Meng Yi saw that the situation was getting more and more critical, and while the prisoner army had not yet closed the siege, he said to Ziying with an anxious face.
Ziying also felt the feeling of Meng Tian's heroic end outside the beam. Evacuate? Where to retreat? Shangjun is his foundation, and now all the troops are here, even if he escapes, what can he do?
Ziying's eyes gradually lowered, and at the moment of life and death, he said firmly: "I am with all the soldiers. ”
"Childe!" Meng Yi shouted in surprise, but seeing Ziying's unmoved look, Meng Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Yi understands, if you die today, we are worthy of the first emperor and the prince of Fusu!" ”
The fierce fighting continued, the casualties of the border army continued to increase, and the recruits were even more timid in this fierce battle, and many tried to flee, only to find that the retreat had long been cut off by the prisoner army. These recruits are like sheep in the mouth of wolves, even if they fight back, but the effect is weak.
Ziying was also sad when he saw the tragic death of the recruits, and he shouted: "Quick, send 5,000 border troops to assist." ”
"Childe, there is a lot of pressure on the border army, and if you divide the troops, I'm afraid that the frontal defense line will collapse." Meng Yi disagreed. "Although these recruits are not combat-ready, they can at least stop the enemy for a while."
"In that case, wouldn't they be sent to their deaths?" Ziying asked rhetorically.
"They are soldiers, and it is fate to die on the battlefield." Meng Yi replied with a low sigh.
Ziying stopped talking, the battlefield was so cruel, and with the fall of the soldiers one by one, the defense line of the entire border army also seemed to be crumbling.
"Beat the drums!" Yan Le ordered excitedly.
The drums sounded, and the offensive of the convict army became fierce. Ziying frowned deeply, this time, it may really be the last battle in his life. From Shangjun sending troops to Xianyang, to sending troops to suppress the Six Kingdoms, and now to the current battle of trapped beasts, Ziying sighed in his heart, but all this, if analyzed carefully, is due to the defeat of Handan.
If it weren't for the robbery of the Sujiao Grain Road, Handan's army would not have been defeated, Meng Tian would not have divided his troops to rescue, Daliang would not have fled by flooding, and the strength of the entire border army would not have decreased sharply. These are all chain reactions, one wrong step, all losses, Ziying is a little skeptical that her decision to suppress the Six Nations was right or wrong.
"For the sake of Childe, kill!"
The sound of the fighting of the border army made Ziying wake up from his doubts, whether it was right or wrong, the matter had come to this, and he had to accept it. Ziying drew his sword, wanting to make a final fight.
However, at this moment, on the left flank of the prisoner army, suddenly dust and smoke billowed and the sound of horses' hooves vibrate, and it was a large army from far and near. The soldiers of the black pressure are very fast, but the formation is not chaotic, and they are elite soldiers at a glance.
This sudden army made Yan Le, who was on the periphery, look at the formation and the black soldiers, there is no doubt that this army is the Qin army. It's just that, how could there still be such an elite Qin army in this Shangjun? Could it be that this is an ambush plan set up by Ziying, deliberately luring himself? Yan Le shook his head, he didn't believe it in sacrificing Meng Tian to design himself.
The black torrent quickly approached the battlefield, and the prisoner army was also on guard, and no one knew what this army meant.
"It's Wang Li's army!" Yan Le took a breath of cold air, and the bright word "Wang" on the banner made him surprised and understood. The Qin army that can come in such a timely manner is probably only Wang Li's border army.
"General, what should I do?" An adjutant asked.
Yan Le didn't dare to fight, he actually knew very well in his heart that Xianyang didn't have too many troops, and his 50,000 people couldn't be destroyed. Out of this thought, Yan Le gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Order, withdraw the troops." ”
Upon hearing the order, the convict army immediately withdrew to the rear, and as a result, Ziying's army began to gradually regain its defensive line. They did not pursue the prisoner army, but waited and quietly defended the approaching Wang Li's army.
Ziying also saw Wang Li's banner, and he didn't understand what Wang Li meant. However, it can be seen from Yan Le's withdrawal that Wang Li did not defect to Zhao Gao, which was enough for him. (To be continued.) )
