Chapter 679: Soldiers besiege Shouchun

Yuan's army was internally unstable and demoralized, and the slightest confusion in the retreat of the whole army snowballed and became out of control.

Yuan's rear team didn't know what was going on at all, they just thought that something big had happened in front of them, and when they saw someone fleeing for their lives, they began to flee for their lives.

And the army in front of Yuan's army saw the rear army fleeing, thinking that they had found something behind, only thinking that something big had happened and they were really defeated, so they began to retreat.

As a result, the millions of Yuan troops became a mess in a few breaths, and everyone ran around, shouting for their lives.

Ji Ling of the Chinese army panicked, he shouted loudly, but no matter how loud his voice was, it was useless. And in the chaotic army, the soldiers and generals have long been unified.

Qin Feng was overjoyed, he put on armor and held a gun, and led the army to cross the river first.

After the Qin army crossed the river, the defeat of the million Yuan army had been achieved and was irretrievable. There was no single soldier or horse to manage the Qin army crossing the river.

The Qin army stormed the enemy and waved his army to cover the killing.

For Yuan Jun, this time he really came to the enemy.

Under the fierce attack of the Qin army, the Zhuang Ding Yuan army was the first to surrender, and with the surrender of hundreds of thousands of people, the vast majority of the million Yuan army surrendered, only tens of thousands, and were held by Ji Ling and other generals, and the wolf bรจi fled back to Shouchun.

In the eighth year of Jian'an in the Qin calendar, June 199 AD. The Qin army defeated the million soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu, the puppet emperor of Zhongguo, in Huaishui, and defeated the enemy's million men and horses with an army of 200,000 and less than 10,000 casualties. This battle, known as the Battle of Huaishui in history, has become another classic of winning more with less, especially in terms of battle damage, so it has been recorded in the history of the top ten classic battles in China.

At this time, only Shouchun City was left in front of Qin Feng.

Take Shouchun. On the border to the south of him, he can rely on the important place of Hefei to defend Jiangdong. On the western border, there are Xiongguan such as Wuguan and Hangu Pass, and to the north is the grassland where Genghis Khan is honored. It faces the sea to the east.

Qin Feng's territory can almost be invincible.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Yuan Shu should have been fighting hard and guarding the rich land of Huainan to wait for the time. But when he suddenly got the jade seal, he couldn't resist the temptation to be the emperor. He was disobedient and arrogant as emperor.

After the establishment of the Zhong Kingdom, the internal rule was unstable. It was another year after the catastrophe, and there was no solid material foundation. In addition, Yuan Shu's extravagance caused the people in the country to live poorly, and the morale of the army was also extremely low.

However. The puppet emperor Yuan Shu was silent and violently conscripted millions of strong men, which brought a heavy blow to the people of Huainan, so it was even more unpopular. The morale of the troops who led the forced conscription was so low that the combat effectiveness was so low that the slightest disturbance led to a rout on the whole front.

As a great man once said, "Years of war exhaust even the most powerful nations." Let's not talk about a small Zhongguo.

Therefore, in the battle of Huaishui, although the puppet emperor Yuan Shu had a million army. But in the end, he was completely defeated by Qin Gong Qin Feng's soldiers and horses.

Shouchun, Imperial Palace. When the puppet emperor Yuan Shu got up from the body of a bunch of beauties, he got the news of defeat.

"What! My million-strong army is gone! Emperor Yuan Shu almost peed his pants in fright, and said in a lost voice: "How is this possible?" โ€

"Your Majesty, the Qin army is about to come to the city!" Yuan Yin trembled.

"My Zhongguo!" Yuan Shu could not face the impending defeat. Suddenly pointed to Yang Hong, who fled back, and shouted angrily: "Yang Hong, it's you!" โ€

"It's not a minister!" How smart Yang Hong is. Hearing this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly fell to the ground. He shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is ordered to supervise the retreat of the army. However, General Ji Ling's leading the army was unfavorable, which caused confusion among the soldiers and gave the Qin army an opportunity! โ€

Ji Ling and other Zhongguo generals all changed their colors, and said in their hearts that this Yang Hong was too ruthless, if it weren't for his ignorance of the lives of the strong men, and even if these strong men had no morale, they would be frightened and finally defeated. Ji Ling immediately defended: "Your Majesty ......." โ€

However, Yuan Shu couldn't listen anymore, he continued to vent the anger in his heart, and roared: "Come on, arrest Ji Ling and put him in the prison!" โ€

Hulala, the left and right Praetorian Guards immediately stepped forward, knocked off Ji Ling's helmet, took off the armor, and dragged him out. From beginning to end, Ji Ling closed his eyes slightly and didn't say a word, because he was completely disheartened.

Lei Bo, Le waited for the generals to die and the fox was sad, and they pleaded for mercy.

Yuan Shu said angrily: "Whoever intercedes for Ji Ling will be guilty of the same crime as him!" โ€

As a result, the crowd did not dare to say more.

At this time, a Praetorian Guard officer broke into the main hall in a panic and shouted: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the Qin army is coming to the city!" โ€

Yuan Shu was frightened, and at the same time he was afraid, he went crazy again, and shouted: "I want to drive the expedition in person, I am the true son of heaven, I will not fail, I will not fail!" โ€

Shouchun, outside the city.

200,000 soldiers of the Qin army were in strict formation. The strong wind wrapped in yellow sand, blew on the edge of the battle array, and immediately dispersed. The soldiers clenched their weapons to the sky, and the sharp swords and guns made it impossible to look at them directly.

Before the battle, Qin Feng immediately raised his gun, and he looked at the head of Shouchun City from afar, "This is the last city in Jiangbei......." โ€

After taking Shouchun, he ruled the entire vast land north of the Yangtze River.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, only to see Yuan Shu appear on the city.

At this moment, Yuan Shu's dragon robe was already messy, and because of trembling, the bead curtain in front of his crown was thrown wildly. At a glance, he saw Qin Feng in golden helmets and golden armor under the city, and roared angrily: "Qin Zijin, you are despicable and shameless!" โ€

Qin Feng has seen countless madness of kings who are about to destroy the country, of course, it was deduced by the old drama bones of later generations. Therefore, in the face of Yuan Shu, it can also be said that it is the first time that he has seen the appearance of an emperor who is about to destroy the country in reality. He shook his head and smiled, "Yuan Highway, how do you say this?" โ€

Crackling, the bead curtain in front of Yuan Shu collided in a chaotic manner, his expression distorted, and he roared: "I retreated ten miles according to my promise, and you don't talk about credit, take advantage of the situation to attack!" You're still pretending to be deaf and dumb here! โ€

Qin Feng sneered and said, "Yuan Highway, your army retreats for ten miles, and the soldiers and horses of the original phase land on the shore, and then fight to the death, this is the original promise." However, your army has been dispersed after retreating ten miles, and it makes sense to wave your army. This matter is no longer within the scope of the original promise! โ€

"You!" Yuan Shu was speechless, and shouted frantically left and right: "Who leads the troops to battle and take down Qin Zijin's head!" โ€

The generals on the left and right were shocked when they heard this, and said in their hearts, Your Majesty, don't be joking, on this land, I'm afraid that there is no more soldiers and horses who are the opponents of the Qin army.

Yan Xiang, who was in the same city tower, immediately said: "Your Majesty, now it is better to stick to it." โ€

Yuan Shu, who has been crazy for a long time, has no body. After his energy was greatly reduced, he began to hesitate and did not know what to do, and after ordering his soldiers to hold the city, he returned to the palace.

In the Shouchun Palace, Yuan Shu's laughter kept coming. "Come on, come on, drink, you take off your clothes, hahaha......."

This generation of emperors who suddenly appeared is now at the end of the road, and he does not want to face the reality, so he has been in his palace since then, devoting himself to drinking and having fun.

On the other hand, the Qin army camp, the Chinese army big tent.

Jia Xu, the military advisor who accompanied the army, said: "Lord, the morale of the defenders in Shouchun City is declining, which can make the marksman shoot a large number of inscriptions into the city. Knowing it with reason, moving it with emotion, those who surrendered in Kaesong will not die, and the morale of the enemy will be disintegrated. โ€

Xu Shu said at this time: "Then, if you wave the army to attack the city, there are only forty or fifty thousand people left in Shouchun City, and you can fight a battle!" โ€

Qin Feng followed his words, on the one hand, he ordered the construction of siege equipment, and on the other hand, he made people shoot into the city and break the enemy's morale.

Sure enough, the defenders in the city had long lost their morale, and after seeing the text, they all slacked off the battle, and the news of surrendering in private was spread one after another.

Shouchun barracks, inside a camp tent.

Lei Bo, Le Jiao, Liang Gang, Chen Lan and many generals are here.

Lei Bo said: "Today's shape, everyone knows it in their hearts. General Ji Ling was dedicated to the country, but in the end he was thrown into the prison. In the face of the powerful Qin army, His Majesty did not think about how to retreat from the enemy, but kept drinking and having fun in the palace without asking anything. โ€

Le said: "The soldiers no longer have any morale, and they are discussing surrender in private. We can't suppress such things. When the Qin army attacks the city in the future, there will definitely be a big change. โ€

Liang Gang said: "Instead of being broken by the Qin army during the battle, it is better to surrender in battle!" โ€

Chen Lan finally said: "What do you think? โ€

There are dozens of generals in various ministries, who can't see the current shape clearly? They glanced at each other, bowed to the ground, and said in unison: "I am willing to advance and retreat with the four adults!" โ€

So, led by Lei Bo, everyone went to the prison to save Ji Ling.

"General Ji Ling, you are already planning to surrender to Qin, and you still need to lead it!" Lei Bo said.

At this moment, Ji Ling's hair was scattered, very haggard, he was shocked when he heard this, and said, "You ......!" He sighed, re-entered the cell, and said, "It's also good to go to Qin, go ahead!" โ€

"General!" Lei Bo hurriedly said: "General, good birds choose trees to perch. If His Majesty is on the front line, we will be equal to the way of death. However, in today's dangerous situation, His Majesty actually spent his days in the palace for pleasure without seeing anyone. Such a king is not worthy of the general's life! โ€

"General, when we come to the army under the command of Duke Qin, we will definitely have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and we will not lose our long-cherished wish to join the army at the beginning!" The people persuaded together.

Ji Ling sighed, and then walked out of the cell again.

Three days later.

Qin Feng once again led the army to Shouchun City, and this time, he was fully prepared. And the enemy, who has no morale in the city, will not be able to prevent our army from breaking through the city.

"The last battle in Jiangbei is today!" Qin Feng raised the Zhenwu Taiji Spear in his hand and shouted, "Attack the city and capture the puppet emperor Yuan Shu!" โ€

The soldiers of the Qin army followed Qin Feng all the way and swept through the vast land of the entire north. This was the last battle north of the Yangtze River, and it was quite important for them.

"Storm the city and capture the puppet emperor!"

"Storm the city and capture the puppet emperor!" The morale of the soldiers was high, and the cry shook the sky. (To be continued......)
