Chapter 57: The Death of the Nation (1)

When the nearly 40,000 Baiyue barbarian army appeared behind the Qin army of the third route downstream, Wang Li already knew that he had defeated the resistance on the north bank.

The camp ten miles away behind him was still full of flames, and it seemed that the fire was even more intense.

What is the situation in the camp, Zhao Ben, who has been there for almost half an hour, has not heard any news so far. But the uneasiness in Wang Wei became more and more intense.

His instinct told him that it was very likely that the food and grass in the camp were gone!

If it is still expected that the 20,000 Baiyue barbarian army of the Baiyue Barbarian will appear behind the Qin army in the lower reaches, then the other 20,000 Baiyue barbarian army that appeared with the Baiyue Barbarian army on the upper and middle roads is much beyond Wang Li's expectations!

In fact, although Wu Rui didn't collect many boats at night, the land of Huainan was lush with trees, and the Baiyue barbarians had lived in swamps and lakes for many years, not only did everyone have a good water surname, but they were also very proficient in simple and fast fishing things such as rafts.

Therefore, the raft built by Wu Rui's Baiyue army at night was enough to cross 50,000 troops at a time, but first, in order to create an illusion for the Qin army on the other side, the Baiyue barbarian army on the south bank could only cross 30,000 people at a time; The second is that when Xiang Liang's army did not appear, Wu Rui was not willing to make a desperate bet and invest half of the army at once!

When Xiang Liang's army appeared on the other side to engage the Qin army, Wu Rui immediately ordered all the lights in the Baiyue barbarian rebel camp on the south bank to be extinguished, and all the more than 2,000 rafts that could cross 20,000 people were launched at one time.

The north shore, which used to be dark, is now brightly lit, while the south bank, which was once brightly lit, is now dark. Although there was no light, and from time to time there were Baiyue barbarians who boarded boats to cross the river and fell into the river, but they who were good at water quickly climbed onto the raft again.

It happened to land at the same time as the upper and middle armies that turned downstream to land!

Barely met with any resistance, and the 40,000-strong army swarmed ashore!

Wang Li did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his guards to divide into two ways to transfer all the troops of the upper two roads back, and to go to the camp to order Zhao Ben's 10,000 elite cavalry and Yang Xiong's undead soldiers to rush to help, and then personally led the last 5,000 Chinese troops around him to meet the 40,000 Baiyue barbarian army that was about to land!

As soon as Wang Li's 5,000-strong army entered the battlefield, he was immediately swept up by the 40,000-strong barbarian army that had swarmed ashore!

At this time, Wang Li didn't think about Mingjin collecting troops to fight again, but the situation on the battlefield no longer allowed him to withdraw at this time!

The original two groups of 8,000 Qin army foot soldiers who resisted the landing of the Baiyue barbarians had all been dragged down by the first wave of 10,000 Baiyue barbarian troops who came ashore!

The most important thing is that Xiang Liang's 60,000 army has completely gasped at this moment, and the arrival of Baiyue barbarian reinforcements has made Xiang Liang's army, which was originally demoralized, gradually recover its morale little by little!

The direct manifestation is that Xiang Liang's army, which was originally retreating in the face of the suppression of the Qin army's two foot soldier phalanxes, is now not only re-stabilizing the formation, but also gradually squeezing towards the Qin army!

The Qin army, which has a total of 25,000 people, has been reduced by at least half in the continuous fighting, and in the face of the combined army of Xiang Liang, which is almost five times its size, and the Baiyue barbarian army, it is completely strangled together, and it is impossible to withdraw at all!

If Wang Li wants to retreat, he is bound to abandon these more than 10,000 Great Qin soldiers who have fallen into the rebel array!

Then there is only one result for these abandoned soldiers, and that is certain death! The Great Qin soldiers will not surrender, this Wang Li knows, and it is also the persistence that is deeply rooted in the hearts of all the Great Qin soldiers!

Give up these soldiers who are fighting to the death for Great Qin, Wang Li can't do it, and he won't do it at all! In the same way, he also believed that none of the leading generals in the Great Qin army would abandon their soldiers!

If you can't give up these soldiers who are caught in the rebel formation, then you can only fight with all your might!

The 40,000 newly landed Baiyue barbarians did not focus all their energy on Wang Li, and the more than 10,000 Baiyue barbarians who first went ashore entangled Wang Li's 5,000 Chinese troops, and the more than 20,000 Baiyue barbarians who went ashore later went straight to the four waves of Qin troops on the main battlefield.

The remaining hundreds of Qin soldiers of the three thousand Qin troops who were the first to resist the landing of the Baiyue barbarians were instantly overwhelmed by the swarming Baiyue barbarian army, and then the remaining two thousand Qin soldiers who supported the five thousand Qin soldiers who came up behind were surrounded and killed by countless Baiyue barbarians, and the number of people was also rapidly decreasing!

Wang Li still hasn't shown his tooth flag!

It's not that Wang Li doesn't want to show the flag, it's not that he doesn't dare to show the flag, it's just that now that the Qin army is obviously at a disadvantage, he will show the tooth flag again, although he doesn't know if these Baiyue barbarians recognize the Qin army's tooth flag, but he knows that Xiang Liang must know it.

As soon as the tooth flag comes out, Xiang Liang will do his best to strangle himself first after all!

A loss of the tooth flag means that the Lord will be killed! Even if he didn't die and the tooth flag was lost, who knew whether Wang Li was dead or alive in this chaotic battlefield, as long as the rebels added to the flames a little, then the morale of the Qin army would definitely plummet! I'm afraid it's not far from a rout!

Wang Li was waiting, he was waiting for the 40,000 troops of the Qin army and the 30,000 army of Zhao Ben and Yang Xiong to arrive at the battlefield!

At this time, the 10,000 Qin troops in the middle of the road, who had previously received Wang Li's order, rushed to the battlefield!

The Baiyue barbarian army, which had just strangled the 5,000 Qin army foot soldiers, quickly greeted it, and directly launched an attack when the 10,000 Qin army foot soldiers in a chaotic formation were not firmly established!

The addition of 40,000 Baiyue barbarian troops finally made Xiang Liang breathe a long sigh of relief! Of course, it made Xiang Liang's 60,000 army, which had already been killed by the Great Qin soldiers, breathe a sigh of relief, and their morale was great!

If you don't do it at this time, when will you wait?

The more than 10,000 Qin army foot soldiers who fell into the formation of Xiang Liang's army were suddenly attacked by Xiang Liang's army!

Although the Qin army had an absolute disadvantage in numbers, how could they ever be afraid of these rabble?

In the wilderness on the north bank of the Huai River for dozens of miles, countless figures strangled together, murderous!

There are only two colors left in the whole world, black and red! Black is the night sky, and red is the blood that shoots out, gradually converging on the ground, and finally scouring the soft riverside tidal flats into ravines, and finally flowing into the Huai River!

The clear water of the Huai River is gradually dyed red by the blood soaked in the water, and it becomes a river of blood!

At this moment, there is only one word in everyone's mind: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”!

Every second, countless Qin troops or rebels fell, and the grand shouts of killing spread for more than ten miles!

The first to rush to the battlefield was the 10,000 Qin troops from the upper reaches!

The 10,000 Qin troops had already heard the shouts of killing from the downstream on the way here, and the 10,000 Qin troops who rushed to the aid in a hurry found that Wang Li had disappeared as soon as they came.

The face of the commander who led the army changed greatly, at this moment there were swords and swords everywhere, although there were fires everywhere, but the crowds were crowded and they couldn't find it at all, not to mention seeing that the Qin army rushed to help, there were already more than 20,000 Liang troops who had their hands free to greet them!

Xiang Liang knows very well what his biggest advantage is now! The soldiers are at least several times the size of Wang Li's army, and now that the Qin army is not all assembled, use the advantage of numbers as much as possible to cooperate with the ferocity of the Baiyue barbarians to kill the Qin army as much as possible!

Only in this way can there be a silver lining of victory!

At the same time, Xiang Liang has also been looking for Wang Li's Chinese army banner or tooth flag! As long as Wang Li is found and killed, then no matter how elite the Qin army is, it will eventually be in turmoil due to the death of the commander!

He didn't know that Wang Li had fallen into the encirclement of more than 10,000 barbarians at this moment! And it is the closest place to the Huai River, and if Wu Rui's army lands again, then Wang Li's five thousand people will bear the brunt!

The earthquake trembled, and the hooves thundered!

Zhao Ben's 10,000 cavalry and the remaining 10,000 troops in the middle arrived at the same time!

At this time, the army of Xiang Liang and the Baiyue barbarians on the north bank no longer had extra troops to continue to drag the Qin army into the battle, and watched as the 10,000 foot soldiers in the middle of the road reorganized their formation and broke into the battlefield!

Zhao Ben led 10,000 cavalry to look around, he was looking for Wang Li! Zhao Ben did not move, although the 10,000 cavalry behind him was anxious, they were still sitting on their horses waiting for the order to attack!

Soon, a handful of black figures on the outermost part of the shore flashed into Zhao Ben's eyes!

Zhao Ben's eyes lit up, "Kill!" As he spoke, he took the lead and crossed the middle road that was advancing in front of the formation, and the 10,000 foot soldiers went straight to the shore! The grain and grass of the camp have been burned, but as long as Wang Li is fine, the Qin army still has hope of turning defeat into victory!

At that moment, another roar of horses' hooves was heard from diagonally behind! A thousand cavalry that was obviously different from the black armor of the Qin army appeared at the end of the road, and a strange-looking spear in the hand of a general who was more than a foot tall in the first place, although he was covered in blood, but a pair of eyes were shining in the dark night!

The strong battle intent and murderous aura in the eyes of this general made Zhao Ben's heart tremble!

It must have been this cavalry who attacked the camp and burned the grain and grass! Seeing this god-like general, Zhao Ben immediately said with certainty!

These thousands of cavalry came straight to Zhao Ben's cavalry, obviously to stop Zhao Ben's cavalry from rushing and killing! Now with the arrival of 20,000 Qin army foot soldiers, Xiang Liang's army, which was originally on the offensive, suddenly fell into a bitter battle again!

Especially the 10,000 Qin troops who had just arrived, the strict infantry phalanx advanced particularly quickly, and the Baiyue barbarians were all ambushed on the spot, and under the onslaught of this 10,000 Qin army, the Baiyue barbarians, who had originally entangled the 10,000 Qin troops who had joined the battlefield before, were defeated and retreated.

The two Qin armies immediately merged into one, slightly reorganized the formation, and the speed of the breakthrough increased dramatically!

Obviously, this Qin army wants to rescue the Qin army that was killed with Xiang Liang's army first, and now there are only a few thousand left! The little morale that Xiang Liang's army had just mustered was suddenly unable to stabilize the defensive line after being attacked by the Qin army, and it was scattered at the touch of a button!

At this time, there was a sudden loud sound of water in the Huai River!

By the light of the fire on the shore, Zhao Ben saw that the dense countless rafts were already less than a hundred steps away from the shore, and they were rapidly approaching! The sound of the water was the sound of the water paddling on the raft with the hands and feet of the hundreds of barbarian armies!

Zhao Ben's face changed greatly! Obviously, once these Baiyue barbarians landed, then the first to bear the brunt of the Qin army of less than 3,000 people from Wang Li, who was still besieged by thousands of Baiyue barbarians! (To be continued)
