Chapter 119: Defeated
After Fan Jiao saw a rolling log fly down and smash the head of a Minyue soldier into his abdominal cavity, he shuddered for a moment, and immediately became well-behaved, and very obediently lay on the ground with Chen Sheng and pretended to be dead. Now that there is a fire at the end of the valley, there is smoke everywhere, and the soldiers in the distance don't know Chen Sheng's location at all.
"Puff ......" With Hu Bugui's proper command, the entire valley burned. A pungent smoke filled the air, enveloping the entire Eagle Sorrow Village in front of it.
The soldiers of Yingchou Village had already prepared, and they covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, which had little impact, but under the smoke of this thick smoke, their eyes were red and tears flowed endlessly.
These warriors who were hiding in the walls of Yingchou Village were already like this, and those Minyue soldiers who were being smashed by stones and logs, burned by fire and smoke, were even more uncomfortable. Many of the surviving fighters fell to the ground only to be suffocated and poisoned by the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide formed by the burning of the sulphur wood. This has to be said to be a tragedy.
Chen Sheng and Fan Jiao were also prepared, the two of them lay on the ground, covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, dragged a few corpses, approached the edge of the cliff, and covered themselves, and their safety was very guaranteed.
The tragedy lasted for half an hour before it stopped. The rolling stones above the valley no longer fall, and the rolling firewood has run out, but there are not many of the more than 10,000 people who have fallen into the valley, and almost all of them who are alive are injured, and they are all seriously injured. Most of them were seriously wounded and disabled, and even if they were healed, they would not be able to march and fight in the future.
Su Shao's face had turned purple and black.
He has been constantly commanding the army to rescue the warriors in the valley, but under the deliberate arrangement of the other party, no one can get close to the valley mouth for half a minute, and the entrance place has been piled up with huge boulders almost four or five feet high, and the warriors who sacrificed their lives to rescue the trapped warriors sacrificed at least nearly a thousand people, and still failed to achieve a single result.
He shook and shivered. Since he inherited the throne at the age of sixteen, he has been fighting in the north and south, and the results are outstanding, and he has never suffered such a great loss. But he didn't expect that a moment of carelessness would cause nearly half of the elite of the Minyue army to be lost in this valley.
"The widow is guilty!" When he listened to the heart-rending cries, curses, and screams coming from the valley, his heart was like a knife. But despite all his efforts, he still couldn't save these loyal warriors.
Not only did he shake, but the eyes of several generals around him were already red.
"King, they have exhausted their strength, we still have more than 10,000 main forces, we can still fight! The last general Gou Ying is willing to lead 3,000 dead soldiers to break through the Eagle Sorrow Village, wash Dongou in blood, and avenge the soldiers of our army! "Gou Ying is Gou Hu's own brother, and the screams in the valley are heard, and he knows that his brother will never be spared. He also understands the combat effectiveness of the Dongou people, and it is already remarkable to be able to organize such an ambush. I want to launch another ambush, but I can't think about it. Now take advantage of the enemy's weakness to counterattack the past, and you will definitely be able to break through the Eagle Sorrow Village!
"Never, my lord!" A civilian-looking official who looked like a young man whispered: "Our vanguard army has been tragically crushed in the valley, which has shaken the morale of the army, and the judgment of the enemy's strength is not clear, our army must not act rashly!" In addition, Wu Wuzhu's move was so bold that he dared to attack us, which shows that he has been premeditated for a long time, maybe they are colluding with the Qin army and deliberately plotting against me to go east! The king must not be overlooked! ”
Hearing this, Su Shao's face changed slightly, and he hesitated: "Li Qing, in your opinion, how to deal with it?" ”
"For the sake of today, the only way to evacuate this place is the safest way, and then make a counterattack when you figure out the enemy's conspiracy!" This Wenchen is not from Ouyue, originally from the Central Plains, surnamed Li Mingzuoche, followed his father to do business in the land of Ouyue, and finally was favored by the Minyue King Su Shao for his resourcefulness, and hired him as a certain name with a lot of money, and he has a certain status in the heart of Su Shao.
But at this time, his words were not listened to. There are still some remnants of the generals in the canyon, how can he abandon them? 30,000 soldiers, lost more than half of them, and returned in vain, what kind of face does he have in front of the people? The major barbarian leaders who were conquered by him, how could they not disagree? He can't go back! Thinking of this, Su Shao firmly believed in his heart: "Li Qing, although your words are good, but the widow can't abandon the casualties inside!" ”
"King!" Li Zuoche heard the sigh of the donkey, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart.
"Gou Ying, you lead two thousand pioneers, responsible for opening the way, opening the valley, and rescuing the wounded soldiers! The rest of the people were stationed on the spot to rest, and after the road was opened, they sent troops in one fell swoop to capture Yingchou Village, and the army drove long, washed Dongou in blood, and avenged the dead soldiers! He said through gritted teeth.
……
At the same time as the Yingchou Village ambushed the Minyue army, the light soldiers of the Qin army had also climbed the city wall, and they were fighting together with Xiang Liang's Xiong Zhen internal guards. However, these Xiong Zhen internal guards are just in name, and the real Chu State Xiong Zhen internal guards are pitiful, how can this group of Xibei goods be the opponent of the Tiger Wolf Qin Army? Before the siege of the city, Zhao Tuo issued an order: no cutting off the enemy's head, and those who take the lead in the city will be rewarded with one million! That's a huge reward! How can anyone care about cutting off people's heads in exchange for rewards, fighting bloody battles, as long as they stand on the city wall, they can be mixed into the ranks of the bounty!
"Defeated, defeated......" Zhang Liang's face turned pale, and after a stalemate with the Qin army for a while, his dead soldiers also suffered heavy losses, and there were no less than a few survivors. However, the Minyue reinforcements, which he had always pinned high hopes on, were delayed.
Xiang Liang's face was like ashes, he glanced at Zhang Liang, and said hoarsely: "Ovary, how is it right now?" ”
"Go, get out of this place! If we can't hold it, we must evacuate, otherwise there is no hope of recovering the country! At this time, what supported Zhang Liang was the distant plan to restore the country.
"Go with Wu Zhu?" Xiang Liang's tone was very bad. Seeing that the Qin army was attacking the city too fiercely, the king of Dongou not only did not send reinforcements, but instead withdrew towards the royal city of Dongou with the remaining 8,000 men and horses.
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "Dongou Wang Wu can't support the wall with all the mud, and he only has to go all the way to the black, so he can't go on like this, and the King of Minyue is untrustworthy, and it is also unreliable." Where did you say before? Going to Dongyi? Let's lie dormant for a while, and then think of something else. Zhang Liang also panicked at this time.
"That's all there is to it." Xiang Liang sighed faintly. Seeing that there were no more people under his command who could be called, Xiang Liang couldn't help but feel sad. If it weren't for Zhang Liang's insistence, how could he let the last force of his subordinates die. If it weren't for Zhang Liang having a lot of money and grain in his hands, Xiang Liang would still be able to tolerate him, and he would have chopped Zhang Liang to death with a knife.
