Chapter 60: Countdown

"The subordinate Wang Li, now I have to hear His Majesty's grand plan, it is difficult to be myself, I am very fortunate to be Qin!"

See you for the first time!

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"Your Excellency has left Your Majesty, you are in Chen County, and Chen County is lost and died, in order to repay Your Majesty."

After returning to Xianyang for less than a day without any rest, Wang Li immediately led the army south to Chenjun!

"The old minister looks at it, these two people are all people with great talents, and the rest of Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and others are also all good talents, and these people are loyal to my Great Qin. The people of such materials are buried in the land of Pei County, which is the loss of my Great Qin.

As a result, these people have returned to Xianyang together with the heads of the thief's first ear, Chen Yu and others.

I hope that Your Majesty will judge these people and use them! ”

Three days to quell the rebellion of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, with Liu Bang, Xiao He and others, Han Xin, and then lead the army out of Ruyin!

Hu Hai would never have thought that the farewell with Wang Li on April 10 would be the last meeting!

To be honest, Hu Hai doesn't have much memory of Wang Li, and even except for these few brief memories, he found that he and Wang Li no longer have any intersection to remember!

It is precisely because of this that Hu Hai especially feels sad and angry and blames himself!

Although Wei Yi and the others were saddened by the fiasco of Wang Li and the others, everyone found that Hu Hai, who was blinded in the lobby at this moment, was not in the right state. Compared to Wang Li, these dead people, the body of His Majesty Emperor Daqin II is obviously much more important!

There was silence in the tent! Long!

"Stand down, all of you! I want to be alone! ”

An unusually dry voice came out of Hu Hai's mouth, as if two copper swords were scraping each other, and Ying Yi and the others who listened to it only felt that the roots of their teeth were sore and weak, and they felt uncomfortable! looked at Hu Hai with a look of horror and worry!

Winning a mouth and wanting to say something, Wei Yi got up and pulled him, and held back the words that came to his mouth!

Immediately, Wei Yu, Han Xin and others silently bowed to Hu Hai and withdrew from the big tent!

…… For a whole day, Hu Hai never came out of the big tent, and there was no sound in the big tent, as if it was a dead domain!

Wei Yi, Ying Yi, Liu Bang and Han Xin, who had been anxiously waiting at the door of the big tent, stood all day!

The matter of Wang Li and tens of thousands of Great Qin soldiers dying on the edge of the Huai River is too important, and it will definitely shake the government and the opposition if it is rudely rumored, and they naturally dare not pass on this news at will without Hu Hai's order!

The sun casts its last rays and fades into the sky!

The sharp-eared Ying Yi was the first to hear footsteps coming from the big tent, and stared at the big tent with a look of surprise! As the footsteps gradually approached the tent door curtain, Wei Yu and the others also heard the footsteps marching out of the big tent.

When the curtain was lifted, Hu Hai with a calm face appeared at the door!

"Go and order the dragon guard to summon Black Iron back, I know you can find him, and I will see him tomorrow!" Hu Hai looked at Win and said lightly. The tone is indifferent, but anyone can hear that there is no doubt about it!

Hu Hai, who had a calm face in front of him, felt a little strange and a little afraid to Wei Yu and the others! If the previous Huhai was a sharp sword out of the sheath, then now Huhai is a deep pool, and you can't see through what exists in this pool!

"Your Majesty obeys!" Win a heart bowed down.

"Wei Lao Aiqing continue to read!" After Hu Hai finished speaking, he turned around and entered the account!

In the battle, the Great Qin soldiers killed more than 53,500 people and wounded more than 7,000 people! There were a total of 156 generals above the rank of captain, including Wang Li, Zhao Ben, and Wang An.

Wang An's final outbreak of more than 25,000 Great Qin infantry soldiers who formed a battle formation caused nearly 60,000 casualties to Xiang Liang and Wu Rui's army!

The 20,000 Qin troops on the Shangzhong Road and the more than 15,000 people of Yang Xiong's department arrived when there were only more than 5,000 people left in Wang An's department, which can be used to rescue these 5,000 Great Qin soldiers who already have the heart to die!

This battle, because of the arrival of the Qin army, ended with the retreat of Xiang Liang and Wu Rui, who suffered heavy losses! Of course, it can also be seen that Xiang Liang took the initiative to order the collection of troops, because he already knew that Xiang Yu had burned the grain and grass in the Qin army's camp!

However, Xiang Liang and Wu Rui would never know the reason for Zhao Ben's desperate slaughter of the 7,000 Qin cavalry, let alone the more than ten people who fought to the death on the shore and were shot by the Baiyue Barbarian Poison Needle, among the more than ten people who were shot by the Baiyue Barbarian Poison Needle, there was Marquis Wang Li of Wucheng of Great Qin.

Because they didn't see any banner representing the main general of the Qin army at all, let alone the Chinese army's tooth flag!

The reason for all this is because after Wang Li was surrounded by tens of thousands of Yue barbarian troops, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, he resolutely ordered to burn all the tooth flags and other things with the symbol of the Chinese army.

Wang Li knows better than anyone else how much the news of his death will be caused by the news of his death, and if it doesn't go far, how much shock it will cause to the Great Qin world, the more than 100,000 Qin troops who followed him south will definitely be in turmoil, giving Xiang Liang and the others a chance to annihilate them all!

Yang Xiong found Wang Li, who was unscathed but covered with jet-black face, and three small copper needles were inserted into Wang Li's chest, abdomen, arms and thighs respectively!

And each of the ten dragon guards has dozens of copper needles on their bodies, obviously to protect Wang Li, they were all poisoned by silver needles!

The matter of Wang Li's martyrdom was soon blocked by Yang Xiong's order, and then Feixin reported to Hu Hai! Yang Xiong ordered the remaining nearly 40,000 Qin troops to be stationed in the open air on the north bank of the Huai River, while cleaning up the corpses of the Qin soldiers who had fallen in battle, while waiting for Hu Hai's edict!

Xiang Liang and Wu Rui joined forces and camped on the north bank of the Huai River, twenty miles away from Yang Xiong's army.

The two armies were licking each other's wounds, Yang Xiong was waiting for the emperor's edict, and Xiang Liang was waiting for the Qin army to rout without food, and he still didn't give up his intention to kill Wang Li!

At this station, Wu Rui's Baiyue barbarian army killed more than 60,000 people, Xiang Liang's army killed more than 40,000 people, and suffered countless casualties, and there were less than 50,000 people who could fight again! And Xiang Yu's 8,000 Jiangdong Iron Cavalry only has more than 1,000 people left, and they are still worthy of a battle!

With such a heavy loss, even Xiang Yu, who was tyrannical and had no meat, did not eat meat for three days after seeing the battlefield after the war!

It can't be said who wins and who loses, it can only be said that both lose! Obviously, without knowing that Wang Li was killed, Xiang Liang and the others knew that they had lost this battle! The combat effectiveness of the Qin army not only made the Chu people in Xiang Liang's army frightened, but also made the fierce Baiyue barbarians tremble!

Wang Li's 5,000 Chinese troops, Zhao Ben's 7,000 Great Qin Elite Cavalry's decisive charge, and finally Wang An's more than 20,000 Great Qin infantry soldiers crushed and brutally fought like mountains and seas, are the lingering nightmare of tens of thousands of Yue barbarians who are still alive in the future!

After listening to Wei Yu's words, Hu Hai was worried about the situation of Yang Xiong, the more than 40,000 Great Qin soldiers!

The grain and grass have all been burned on the third day of the fifth month, and now it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, how did these Qin soldiers live in two days? Not to mention that there are more than 10,000 wounded soldiers!

From Yang Xiong's letter, Hu Hai had already heard his determination to lead the remaining 40,000 remnants of the Great Qin army to fight to the death!

"Win one, send an order to Li Xin, and order him to rush to Ruyin to meet Yang Xiong's army before the seventh hour of the first month of May! A moment later, he ordered him to send his head to Xianyang! Hu Hai said lightly, and the coldness in his words made Ying Yi and the others shudder!

Hu Hai's edict ordering Li Xin to rush from Lingwuguan to Ruyin to aid Wang Li was also issued on the night of the third day of the fifth month, and it was nearly a thousand miles away from Wuguan to Ruyin, and now Li Xin has walked for two days, and at most he has walked more than 400 miles.

The message will be sent out tonight and will be received in the middle of the night, and the remaining two days will be 20,000 troops, together with grain and grass, and they will travel more than 600 miles!

"Whoa!"

"Order Yang Xiong, the matter of Wang Liaiqing's martyrdom can be spread to the 40,000 army, but it is not allowed to worship or cause chaos, let alone let the thief Xiang Liang and others know the news! Slaughter war horses for military rations! Strictly guard the camp and wait for Li Xin's army to rush to help! ”

"Whoa!"

"Tell the king about the battle of the Huai River in Aiqing, and tell the big camp of Ba, and after more than a month, the ceremony of sealing the queen is said to be the formation of an army of 600,000 troops on the Ba, and it is also the saying of my personal expedition!"

"Your Majesty......" Wei Yu said hurriedly when he heard Hu Hai's words.

Hu Hai's two edicts in front of him were very correct, and Wei Yi couldn't help but nod secretly when he heard it! If Yang Xiong's army is ordered to retreat, the 40,000 army with many casualties and no food and grass will not be able to escape the pursuit of Xiang Liang's army!

However, the 600,000 troops of the Bashang battalion were formed in advance, and it was still Hu Hai's personal expedition, which was very inappropriate in Wei Yu's opinion!

"Old Lieutenant Aiqing, I have made up my mind! Aiqing, don't use persuasion again! Hu Hai waved his hand to interrupt Wei Yi's words and said lightly.

Hu Hai knew very well in his heart the dangers of rushing into the army, but he felt that he couldn't wait! If it weren't for the fact that the 600,000 troops of the Bashang battalion had not yet started the training of the battle formation, he would not have been able to wait for more than a month.

Wang Li died in battle, and Daqin was already defeated in the battle on the north bank of the Huai River! And the news of Wang Li's death in battle can only be concealed for a while at most, which is why he ordered Yang Xiong to tell the news of Wang Li's death to the remaining 40,000 troops who are still in the Huai River!

The soldiers of Great Qin advocate bravery, and they can't shoot on the battlefield when they die! But for those 40,000 Great Qin soldiers, the death of the main general Wang Li in battle will be a shame that they will not be able to wash away in their lives!

Hu Hai just wants to make them feel humiliated and arouse their will to survive and take revenge! Otherwise, the more than 40,000 Great Qin soldiers who lacked medicine and food could only wait there to die, he didn't think that Xiang Liang and the others only had these 200,000 troops, nor did he think that Xiang Liang would wait until these 40,000 Great Qin soldiers starved to death!

As for the formation of the army in advance, it was Hu Hai's really helpless move!

In the first battle of the Huai River, the more than 40,000 Jiuyuan troops in the east of Wuguan and south of Hangu Pass, including the whole of Shandong, no longer had any defensive strength, and more than a dozen counties were completely undefended!

And in Chen County, there are more than 100,000 remnants of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who were captured! These unstable factors also made Hu Hai restless! He didn't know how Wang Li arranged it, and the original decision was to leave 20,000 soldiers to garrison Chen County, but later he issued an edict that Wang Li's entire army went south, and Wang Li only left thousands of soldiers to dismiss these prisoners in Chen County!

These dismissed captives must be worried that Daqin will settle accounts after the autumn, as long as Xiang Liang and the others are bewitched, then they will be re-armed in an instant, and Xiang Liang and the others will soon have more than 100,000 troops again!

Chen Liucang of Dang County, Lang Xie Cang of Lang Xie County, and Huang Cang of Jiaodong County will all be under the command of Xiang Liang's soldiers, and if Xiang Liang is not a straw bag, he will definitely not let go of these places!

Once there is grain and grass, Xiang Liang and the others will have enough resources to recruit troops! What's more, Ao Cang of Sanchuan County, which has the most grain reserves, will also be exposed to the soldiers of Xiang Liang and others!

Hu Hai didn't have half a year to wait for the 600,000 troops of the Bashang battalion to be thoroughly trained!
