Chapter 134: The army returns to the city
This battle of Chengwu was a passive decisive battle of last resort for Hu Hai!
The initial purpose of his trip north this time was for the sake of Haiyan and shipbuilding, after all, Ziying has still disappeared, and it seems that the whole person has evaporated from the world. There has been no news from the messengers and Long Wei who went to Nanhai County to deliver the edict, so to deal with the land of Baiyue, which has almost the entire Great Qin Navy and military buildings, Hu Hai feels that he must take precautions!
There is a moat on the Yangtze River, if there are not enough sailors and boats, Zhao Tuo and others only need to swing the navy in the Yangtze River, then the Great Qin soldiers, who are all landlubbers, can only watch.
Big ships, especially those that can go to sea, are not so easy to build! I'm afraid that it will take a year or two for any one, and it may not be able to be built!
Could it really be that he couldn't rule by crossing the river with Zhao Tuo and others?
Immediately afterwards, there were rumors and the matter of Zhao Xie leaving Zhao Xie after the attack of the Jixia School Palace, so no matter where you look at Hu Hai, you must go north to see Meng Tian's thoughts!
The only surprise was that the ministers of the DPRK and China, and obviously high-ranking officials, were in contact with Xiang Liang, which led to the leakage of the news of Hu Hai's secret trip to the north. Otherwise, Hu Hai should be almost in Xianyang by now!
It's just that if Hu Hai wins this decisive battle, the entire Central Plains will be cleared; Defeated, it's just a big deal!
Hu Hai even wrote the edict of succession. As long as Chengwu County is broken, then this edict will be taken to Xianyang by Xinying and handed over to Yingteng, and the successor will be the child who is still disappearing!
Hu Hai believes that Ziying is definitely not dead. Then after learning the news that he will succeed to the throne, he will definitely come out and inherit the throne that should have been his!
In this way, the position of the emperor of Great Qin turned around, and finally returned to the original position!
It's a joy for all!
At this moment, Hu Hai could choose to continue this battle that was originally just a small battle, and the best result was that the more than 10,000 Great Qin cavalry escaped partially! The worst result is that the more than 10,000 Great Qin cavalry will be wiped out!
It's just that in this weather, the Great Qin cavalry, who have been fighting for a long time, especially the Xuanwu cavalry that is still covered with heavy armor, is likely to be at the end of their crossbows!
I'm afraid that when Xiang Liang's army is encircled, in today's weather, under the siege of hundreds of thousands of rebels, the possibility of the annihilation of the more than 10,000 Qin troops is almost a certainty in Hu Hai's opinion!
In addition to the more than 10,000 Chengwu civilians who have just enlisted in Chengwu County, there are now more than 3,000 wounded soldiers of Daqin! There is simply no extra troops to continue to be put into the battlefield with Xiang Liang to fight to the death, and there will be a decisive battle!
And Xiang Liang still has at least more than 200,000 troops in the rear, and is rushing to the battlefield quickly!
In this battle, if he wins, then the only result is that Xiang Liang seems to be killed!
However, you must know that Xiang Liang is dead, and Xiang Yu is still alive!
Hu Hai silently put down the monocular in his hand, thinking quickly in his heart!
The burial of 8,000 Great Qin elite cavalry plus 2,000 Xuanwu Army heavy armored cavalry in exchange for Xiang Liang's 6,000 Jiangdong iron cavalry is not worth it from any point of view! Moreover, if the whole army of more than 10,000 Great Qin soldiers is wiped out, it seems that there is no need to continue to guard this Chengwu county town at all!
Because there are no more elite soldiers to defend!
Xiang Liang's life should not be extinguished!
"Mingjin retreats!" Now that he has made up his mind, even if he is unwilling in his heart, Hu Hai quickly ordered!
Long Xuan and Chen Youguang have been following Hu Hai all the time, and they don't have Hu Hai's telescope in their hands, so they naturally don't know the current battlefield situation! Although he wondered why the emperor had just ordered the whole army to attack, and why he had ordered the troops to be withdrawn after only a few moments, Long Xuan still carried out the emperor's order very well!
"Bell, bell!"
The crisp and rapid sound of gold suddenly sounded in Chengwu County!
Worried that the Great Qin soldiers who were fighting in the noisy battlefield in front of him would not be able to hear it, Long Xuan deliberately placed more than ten golden gongs on the head of Chengwu City and rang them at the same time, and the sound suddenly spread for more than ten miles!
Seeing that there were less than a hundred steps to rush in front of Xiang Liang, he would give the biggest anti-Qin leader to the emperor but heard the sound of gold in the rear of the army, Weng Zhong was suddenly a little dumbfounded!
Isn't the Emperor playing with people?
Hearing this golden sound, the movements of the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, which had originally rushed forward fiercely, were all slowed down, and the pressure faced by the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, which was difficult to resist, suddenly lightened!
Weng Zhong and the heavy armored cavalry who were fighting didn't understand the situation, but Du Teng, Xiahou Ying, and Fan Xu, the eight thousand Qin elite cavalry who were preparing to cut off Xiang Liang's back road on both sides, understood the situation very well!
The reinforcements from Xiang Liang in the rear arrived too quickly!
Du Teng knew very well that this must be His Majesty's reluctance to retreat after discovering Xiang Liang's reinforcements! Although, seeing that the thousands of cavalry of Xiang Liang at the most tea time were about to be killed, including Xiang Liang, they had to be beheaded, but the military order was like a mountain!
Hearing the clarion call of the whole army to attack, the whole army can not be afraid even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of it, and when he hears the sound of gold, the whole army immediately retreats back to the camp, even if there are more [***] beauties in front of him, he must not delay, this is the first concept that Hu Hai instilled in the Bashang battalion to 600,000 soldiers!
With the sound of gold, Du Teng, who was about to cut off Xiang Liang's retreat with less than two hundred steps, and the eight thousand Great Qin Elite Horsemen of Xiahou Ying and Fan Hao all turned their horses' heads and began to retreat!
Finally, cruising on both sides of the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army who are slowly taking the initiative to leave the battlefield swept the formation!
The movements of the Great Qin Jing cavalry on both sides and the retreat of the heavily armored cavalry under his command let Weng Zhong know that the sound of gold he heard was not an illusion! At this moment, he also saw a large number of Xiang Liang reinforcements who were already less than three miles away from the battlefield!
A stick smashed the head of a Jiangdong iron cavalry war horse that rushed over, Weng Zhong reached out and grabbed the Jiangdong cavalryman who was about to take advantage of his distraction, stuck the giant mace in his hand into the horse corpse, and then ignored the fear on the face of the Jiangdong cavalryman, grabbed his two legs with both hands and slammed it!
"Whew!"
"Ahh
A humanoid arrow broke through the air with the terrified screams of the Jiangdong cavalry who did not die! The target is exactly where Xiang Liang, who is tightly guarded in the middle by hundreds of guards!
This humanoid arrow only flew out more than thirty steps before it fell weakly to the ground, falling into a ball of flesh!
Even though there were still dozens of steps away from where Xiang Liang was, seeing this humanoid arrow flying towards Xiang Liang and the others, they hurriedly retreated, and when they came back to their senses, they found that they seemed to be too nervous!
However, even so, the brute strength of this black iron man is already breathtaking!
That's a person, not a stone!
Weng Zhong's god-like image was also deeply imprinted into Xiang Liang's remaining three thousand Jiangdong iron riders' hearts in an instant! Be their lingering nightmare!
Weng Zhong also knew that it was impossible for him to throw that Jiangdong cavalry on Xiang Liang's head, so after throwing the trapeze, he picked up the giant mace and turned around and left! Everywhere they passed, the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry fled one after another as if they were in a flood!
Nobody wants to be Superman!
Xiang Liang also heard the sound of the Qin army's withdrawal. At this moment, there is no need for him to mingle at all, the terrified Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, who has been killed by the overwhelming offensive of the two thousand Xuanwu Army's heavy armored cavalry, wants the Qin army to retreat, let alone take advantage of the retreat of the Qin army to cover up!
Weng Zhong's last flying man made all the Jiangdong Iron Riders lose their courage!
Some of the two thousand heavily armored soldiers of the Xuanwu Army dismounted and began to collect the corpses of the fallen cavalrymen, picked up the robes that were injured and fell off their horses, and began to slowly retreat towards the city of Chengwu County!
On both sides, eight thousand Great Qin Elite Horsemen slowly cruised and swept the formation!
Xiang Liang and the remaining less than 3,000 Jiangdong Iron Cavalry who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe watched more than 10,000 Qin cavalry swagger away from the battlefield and drive towards Chengwu County!
…… The less than 10,000 Great Qin soldiers had just marched outside Chengwu County, and the entire city wall suddenly burst into a sea of cheers!
Although the Chengwu people who were all over the city in the battle just now couldn't see as clearly and carefully as Hu Hai with a monocular, the distance of seven or eight miles was still in the daytime, and the visibility was exceptionally good.
With only 10,000 Great Qin soldiers, hundreds of thousands of rebels can flee in embarrassment, and then calmly withdraw from the battlefield under the gaze of tens of thousands of rebels, what a swaying scene this is!
Everyone knows that the Great Qin soldiers are unparalleled in battle power across the world, but legends are legends after all, and they are far from being as true and credible as they have seen with their own eyes!
In this world, what cavalry can beat at least ten times as many enemy troops as itself with more than 10,000 cavalry and flee in disarray, and only suffer less than 1,000 casualties!?
Now, the fate of the people of Chengwu County has been firmly tied to the Great Qin Emperor and the more than 10,000 Qin soldiers. Because of this, who would not rejoice and rejoice when they see their army so brave?
The entire Chengwu County suddenly fell into a sea of joy!
The two thousand heavy-armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, whose bodies were covered with fine scale armor, have become the gods in the hearts of all the people in Chengwu County!
The shining armor, the fine armor, the clear broadsword, and the tall and majestic mount completely ignited the passion in the hearts of all the people the moment they entered the city! Heroes, in any era, are the object of reverence for all!
And the Eight Thousand Great Qin Elite Cavalry, who had also established great combat exploits, was suddenly left out in the cold! The eight thousand Great Qin Essence Riders are full of taste! However, the emperor's words suddenly made the battle intent of the eight thousand Great Qin Essence Cavalry soar in an instant!
"You are the bravest soldiers of Great Qin! He is my most loyal soldier! ”
What could be compared to this sentence of His Majesty the Emperor?
That's enough!
Compared with Chengwu County, which was in joy, Xing Chongchong followed Xiang Liang all the way from Suiyang to kill Chengwu, but the hundreds of thousands of troops were gloomy!
In just one battle, the remnants of the six countries who were originally full of confidence and wanted to kill the Qin Emperor and take his head suddenly died down!
The combat strength of the Qin army has cast a shadow on everyone's hearts in this battle!
