Chapter 291: Rushing out of Hangu Pass

The casualties of the armed army on the main battlefield were only more than 1,000 people, plus the cavalry lost in pursuit, the total loss was less than 2,000 people, and the losses of the Chu army were large.

The 100,000 Chu army led by Xiang Yan suffered more than 5,000 casualties in the battle with the Yan army, and the rear was suddenly attacked by Qin Wu, and when he was defeated and fled, more than half of the soldiers and horses were lost, which means that Xiang Yan only fled the battlefield with 50,000 Chu troops.

In the process of defeating and escaping, he was pursued by the Western Beggars and killed 15,000 Chu troops. In this battle, the Chu army suffered a total of 65,000 casualties, and the Chu army that followed Xiang Yan was less than 35,000.

After defeating the Chu army and resting in place for a day, the 120,000 Yan army turned around and killed the main battlefield of Kunshan.

Qin Wu returned with 100,000 warrior troops and headed towards Hangu Pass.

Xiang Yan fled with 35,000 defeated troops, and when he came to Wuguan, he found that the 150,000 Chu army under the command of Xiong Fang was confronting the 200,000 Qin army commanded by Wang Di, so he found a key place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, stopped, and began to camp and garrison, preparing to fight against Wang Di's Qin army with the Chu army in Wuguan.

Qin Wu directly bypassed this battlefield from the other side, directly entered the Hangu Pass, and began to rest in the pass to restore the physical strength of the Wu army.

Two days later, Wu Jun's strength recovered. Because of the great victory over the Chu army three days ago, the morale of the Wu army is still high.

Lian Po didn't know the news that Qin Wu came to Hangu Pass with 100,000 martial troops to recuperate, and after the martial army was rested and adjusted to the best state of combat effectiveness, Bai Qi took the initiative to go out of the pass to seek battle.

Although Lian Po was a little puzzled as to why Bai Qi would take the initiative to ask for battle, he still agreed, and after the two sides set up their strongholds and formations outside Hangu Pass, a huge battle began.

Halfway through the battle, the gate of Hangu Pass opened, and hundreds of chariots and countless elite soldiers of the Diwu Battalion wearing strong armor and blades swarmed out of the pass one after another, heading straight for the place where the two armies of Qin and Zhao were fighting.

After the chariot troops, Xiang Yu also led a thousand Fengwu battalion cavalry to rush out of the pass and rushed towards the weak flank of the Zhao army.

Wrapped in iron sheets on the outside, two archers on the inside, a Changge soldier and a royal hand, the chariot pulled by a horse wearing iron armor has a strong impact, and the attack surname is also super strong, which is completely a tank in the era of cold weapons.

The chariot rushed into battle, and the Zhao army didn't even have the strength to resist at all, and the formation was directly scattered, losing a series of additional abilities. The elite soldiers of the Diwu Battalion in a neat battle formation followed behind the chariot, long and stabbed, and rows of people harvested the enemy's surname.

The cavalry of the Fengwu Battalion led by Xiang Yu could not form a large-scale combat force because the number of people was too small now, so they could only guerrilla attacks on the weak side, shooting the Zhao army from a distance with bows and arrows, and causing damage to the enemy.

Because of the abrupt rush out of the Hangu Pass, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn, fortunately, Lian Po was more cautious, this battle only sent a vanguard army of 20,000 people, seeing that it was not good, Lian Po Ming Jin withdrew the troops, and the remnants of 10,000 troops escaped back to the Zhao army array dozens of miles away.

After the tens of thousands of troops who blocked the exit of Hangu Pass retreated, Bai Qi returned to Hangu Pass with 50,000 Qin troops, while Qin Wu took 100,000 armed troops who only carried weapons, equipment and three days' rations, and did not have any baggage, traveled lightly and quickly left the battlefield of Hangu Pass.

"Qin Wu rushed out of Hangu Pass with his martial army, and informed the armies of all countries in the rear that Qin Wu must be stopped."

After getting the news from the scouts and knowing that Qin Wu quickly left the Hanguguan battlefield with the Wu army, Lian Po frowned and said in a deep voice.

When Lian Po's messenger had not yet arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, where the Third Route Army of the Anti-Qin Alliance was stationed, the players who were active in the vicinity of the Tiger Prison Pass had already spread the news that Qin Wu had rushed out of Hangu Pass everywhere in the Tiger Prison Pass.

NPCs have long known a lot about the supernatural powers of player news, and countless players reported the news of Qin Wu's rush out of Hangu Pass, in exchange for rewards, the Tiger Prison Pass immediately reacted, and the 190,000 troops of Han, Zhongshan, Wei, and Zheng came out together, ready to intercept Qin Wu who was lightly armed.

The armies of the five countries prepared to intercept Qin Wu, first, to ensure the security of the rear of each country, and second, to ensure the safety of the logistics route of the anti-Qin alliance army in the front.

Facing the strong attack of the 190,000 troops of the Five Kingdoms, Qin Wu was not afraid at all and directly greeted him.

With the intention of such a concubine, the two sides directly fought in Anyi City in the territory of Wei, and at the beginning of the battle, all the people of the anti-Qin alliance were surprised again.

"System prompt: Zhongshan Kingdom withdraws from the Anti-Qin Alliance and joins the Qin State camp, and players in Zhongshan Kingdom can choose to stay in the Anti-Qin Alliance, or join the Qin State camp."

The system prompt sounded, and all the players of the Anti-Qin Alliance were taken aback.

Originally, it was not only the Yan State that had a gap with the Qi State that was plotted against it, but also the Zhongshan State that was an old enemy with the Zhao State.

The Zhongshan Kingdom was on the verge of defection, and the strength of the two sides immediately became 100,000 Wu troops, 70,000 Zhongshan troops, a total of 170,000 people, and 120,000 troops against the three kingdoms of Shanghan, Wei, and Zheng.

Among them, the Han army, because Qin Wu had ravaged Korea before, faced Qin Wu and Wu Jun, there was naturally a fear in his heart.

After getting the news that Zhongshan had withdrawn from the anti-Qin alliance and defected to the battle, he lost his superior strength, and the fear of Qin Wu at the bottom of his heart involuntarily rose, and the 20,000 Korean troops directly reduced their morale by two points, and many soldiers had no intention of responding to the battle, and in the face of the fierce Wu army, they directly chose to flee the battlefield to avoid this unwilling enemy.

The Zhongshan Kingdom was on the verge of defection, Korea was defeated without a fight, and although the 100,000 troops of the two small vassal states of Zheng and Wei still had the morale to fight, they were no longer able to return to the sky.

In the end, the battle lasted a day and a night, and 20,000 Korean soldiers died or fled, and only a few thousand soldiers fled back to Korea with the kite. The main generals of the Zheng army and the Wei army were all killed by Qin Wu on the battlefield, the dragons were leaderless, and the armies of the two countries were naturally killed and collapsed, most of the 100,000 troops were killed on the battlefield, and the small half fled to various parts of the Wei State, and then for a long time, most of these people will return to their countries one after another, and some will stay in the grass and go up the mountain to be thieves.

After defeating the third army of the anti-Qin alliance that came out of the Tiger Prison, Qin Wu had already achieved the strategic goal of the first step, dealt a heavy blow to the anti-Qin alliance, and jumped out of the battlefield of the Qin State at the same time.

After defeating the alliance forces of Han, Zheng, and Wei, the 70,000 Zhongshan army immediately returned to Zhongshan, while Qin Wu led the Wu army to attack their grain routes along the logistics route of the anti-Qin alliance, capturing a large amount of rations and a small amount of weapons and armor for replacement.

In this way, the Wu army, who had only brought three days' rations, would not worry about starving to death on the way.
