Chapter 55: Bai Qi's Decisiveness!

It was already dark, but the camps of the Qin army and the Sanjin coalition army were still brightly lit.

"Are you all ready?" There was a white, slightly tired voice from the big tent.

"Yiyang Taishou Xiangshou has already sent someone over, and tonight the fourth watch will attack the camps of Han, Zhao, and Wei on time." One of the guards replied respectfully.

"Good! Go down! ”

"General!" The guards wanted to speak and stopped.

"Huh? What else? Bai Qi asked unhappily.

"Our army has suffered a new defeat, and there is a lot of resentment in the army, and there is a lot of desire to avenge the fallen soldiers. Now do we really want to give up our grievances and go north to Xin'an? The guard asked cautiously.

Bai Qi was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "The king humiliates the ministers to death, and there is nothing more important than rushing to Xianyang." Thinking of your love affair with me for many years, I won't kill you this time. Next time, if you dare to disturb the hearts of our army, there will be no forgiveness! ”

"Whoa!" The guard withdrew from the tent with a pale face, only to find that the clothes behind him were completely soaked.

In the coalition battalion, the four of Lian Po were still discussing the military situation. The proposition that the prince threw out the movements of the Qin army caused a big discussion, and everyone thought that the Qin army's spirit had been lost, and the danger of Xianyang was worse than one day, and Bai Qi would most likely launch a night attack tonight, taking the opportunity to break through and rush to Yiyang to replenish grain and grass and soldiers.

Yiyang has many cavalry and many war horses. Once the Qin army arrived in Yiyang, it would soon be able to arm a cavalry to contend with the Zhao army. At that time, Bai Qi will not be at a great disadvantage in terms of total strength or the number of cavalry, and it is very likely that he will regain the initiative. Therefore, the coalition forces set up the camp twenty miles southwest of the Qin camp, and carefully guarded the west and north directions.

At the third watch, the Qin army really launched a night attack, and it rushed to the camp from the south, where the coalition defense was the weakest. The rumbling Qin army's iron cavalry didn't care about casualties at all, and filled a road with human lives. And then it's setting fires everywhere and killing people everywhere.

The coalition forces were somewhat unsatisfactory. Under the great victory, especially under the successive great victories, the soldiers have a lot of slackness; These battles between the two Qin armies have created a false impression that the coalition forces cherish their lives and fear casualties; The south side of the three camps was leaning against a small hill, and the coalition forces did not expect that the Qin army would not choose an open area, but chose a small place to attack the camp.

The Qin army gained the upper hand, and the Han and Wei armies, which were suddenly attacked, showed their panicked side. The result of the boiling panic is contagion, fires everywhere, wails everywhere. No one could tell how many Qin troops were attacking the camp at night, and Lian Po urgently allocated 50,000 cavalry troops to support the rear army, and the situation began to improve.

It was finally dawn, and the night of fighting had left both sides exhausted. The heaviest losses of the coalition forces were the rear army, with more than 10,000 killed! It was followed by the Zhao army, which lost 5,000 elites. The Qin army left behind 10,000 more corpses than the coalition army, and barely broke through.

The coalition forces immediately sent people to reconnoiter Bai Qi's camp, but found that the Qin army had already gone to the camp empty. Last night, the Sanjin coalition army put the main force in the front camp, but it was the rear camp that was attacked. All night, there was not a trace of wind and grass in the front camp. Come to think of it, the Bai Qi army slipped away last night while the chaos was in chaos.

"What a pity! Bai Qi still ran away. Jin Yan showed a look of regret.

"Nothing! Bai Qi must have entered Yiyang City. The Qin army lost 25,000 cavalry last night, presumably the entire Yiyang at this moment is only a large army of 100,000, and the cavalry is almost gone. Lian Po said indifferently.

"Yes! Bai Qi only has more than 10,000 cavalry in his hands, the Yiyang defenders are no more than 20,000 at most, and the cavalry is only more than 15,000 when the cavalry is full. In this way, even if Bai Qi wants to break through, he can only take 80,000 people with him. I think that at the beginning, the 200,000 army besieging me was equal to Yique, how high-spirited, but now I am like a lost dog. ”

"Hahaha!" Storm Kite's words caused the surrounding people to laugh. Everyone has no regrets, rectify the army, and surround Yiyang!

Twenty miles east of Michi, an army stopped its tired footsteps. For three full hours, the Qin army had to rush sixty miles, which was already the limit of the Qin army.

The night before the rapid march of sixty miles, yesterday was another big battle, in the middle of which only the first half of last night rested, if it was not every once in a while the Qin army could get in the car and rest for a while, at least half of the Qin army would be exhausted on the road.

"The whole army rests for two hours, and after two hours continues to hurry!" Bai Qi ordered lightly.

Although the Qin army has now escaped the encirclement and interception of the Three Jin Coalition Army, it is difficult to guarantee that the Three Jin Coalition Army will wake up. Xianyang is in danger, time is life, and Bai Qi is not allowed to waste a little time.

This place is still more than 200 miles away from Hangu Pass, and Bai Qi knows that only by entering Hangu Pass is it really safe. With the successive defeats of the Qin army, the east of Hangu Pass has become no longer safe. Like the two places of Mianchi and Xin'an under their feet, although they belong to Qin, but there are few soldiers and generals, and in the case that the main force of the Qin army is dragged by Yiqu, the Three Jin Dynasty will inevitably send troops to seize it.

Two days later, Qi County.

It took only one charge for 150,000 Yiqu wolf horsemen to take Qi County, where 2,000 Qin troops were stationed. Qi County is too small, the city wall is low, and the people are only 20,000. Originally, the county magistrate of Qixian County thought that he could stop it for a while, but he underestimated Yiqu's determination to take revenge. With the help of "Zhang Lu", the people of Yiqu also learned to attack the city with ladders and crashes, and Qi County was just the first siege of Yiqu.

After occupying Qi County, the King of Yiqu gave a bloody order to slaughter the city! Men who were taller than the whip were to be killed, and women who were older than childbearing age were to be put to death. The rest of the women and children were all taken into slavery. Those who have meritorious service are rewarded with a varying number of slaves.

Of course, in the process of slaughtering the city, ** captivity is inevitable. King Yiqu just stipulates that after an hour, those who do not return on time will be killed!

"Zhang Lu" saw the cruel side of war for the first time, and it was inevitable that he couldn't bear it. The king of Yiqu said with good words, "Mr. Zhang, now our Yiqu and Qin countries are unending enemies. To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself. If you change positions, I bet that the Qin State will do even more cruelty. ”

"It was my stupidity that made the king laugh. I'll learn to adapt. Zhang Lu smiled reluctantly.

"That's right!" King Yiqu was very satisfied with the attitude of "Zhang Lu".

"I'm not a cruel person. It's just that Yiqu has been sparse for a long time, and only by killing the enemy and killing the enemy without stopping can we re-cultivate the bloody nature of our Yiqu people! We gave them slaves to make them work harder. O man! Only when you have something precious do you want to defend it to the death. For us Yiqu men, women, money, these are the most precious things. ”

"My lord, I see. The Qin people are unkind and kill my Korean people. I long to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Now it's time for Qin to repay its debts. ”

"Well said! I'm just going to kill the Qin Kingdom! Our Yiqu national strength is weak, and if it is not cruel, then there is no way to live. King Yiqu sighed.

Three hours later, the non-stop Yiqu wolf cavalry surrounded Qianxian, and Qianxian was immediately lost.

The Qin State in Qianxian County had a slightly larger garrison, with 4,000 troops, and the resistance was naturally stronger. Yiqu suffered tens of thousands of casualties for the first time! The king of Yiqu was extremely angry with the recalcitrant Qin army, and this time he ordered the city to be set on fire. All 25,000 men, women, and children in the city were killed, and many of them were killed alive in front of their families!

The reason for this situation is entirely because the Qin State has been conquering the east and the west, the south and the north in recent years, and most of the young and strong have joined the army, and most of the two cities are old and weak, women and children. And the upper echelons of the Qin State have psychologically given up on these two cities that are on the front line. Vainly tried to use the wealth and land of the two cities to slow down the footsteps of the wolf riders of Yiqu, and even expected that Yiqu would have an uneven distribution of spoils and a situation of fighting in the nest.

In one day, Yiqu connected the two cities of Qi County and Qianxian County. Wherever they passed, the chickens and dogs were not left. Seven thousand Qin troops were killed in battle, 40,000 unarmed civilians were poisoned, and 5,000 women and children were enslaved. The 200,000 acres of fertile land from Bincheng to Qianxian were destroyed in one fell swoop. The Yiqu soldiers pointed directly at Xianyang, one hundred and fifty miles away!
