Seeing the people rushing over, one of the Zang Tujun soldiers guarding the carriage commanded the personnel under his command loudly. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info{Starter}

However, he found a very serious problem, that is, in such a chaotic situation, except for such a few people around him, the officers and soldiers under the command of Zang Di's main formation were basically scattered.

Seeing that Tu Bu was rushing over soon, this Zang Tu army commander gritted his teeth, raised the spear in his hand and rushed towards Tu Bu.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides is too far, although this chief also has a little strength, but compared to Di Bu, the strength of this chief is still very insufficient.

The man who controlled the mount to charge was only slightly on one side, and after dodging the spear stabbed by the opponent, he slashed the neck of this long man with a single sword.

This Shi Chang was running less than a few meters on horseback, and a puddle of blood splattered out from the broken neck of the opponent. The other party's corpse slowly lost its balance and fell on the grass after the war horse advanced more than ten meters again.

Duo Bu slowly stopped his horse, looked at the last two infantrymen who were standing next to the carriage, and looked at each other coldly: "Get out!"

It's not that these two Zang Tu soldiers haven't seen it, just now Di Bu and his party easily solved the battle of a few knights, and in such a situation, the fighting will of these two Zang Tu soldiers has been defeated.

And the driver who was driving this carriage did not know when it slipped away and had long since disappeared, and in such a situation, the two Zang Tu soldiers thought that there was no need for them to fight. Anyway, even if they tried their best, they couldn't save Zang'er.

And after glancing at each other, the two soldiers of the Zang Tu Army directly threw down the Changge in their hands, turned around and ran away.

He wasn't interested in chasing down the two creeps, but that didn't mean he wasn't interested in the carriage. After letting his subordinates gradually clear a relatively safe area, Di Bu gently opened the curtain of the carriage with a long knife, and he saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen, looking at him tremblingly.

"......" Tu Bu has no interest in this kind of little hairy child, although the other party looks like a beautiful embryo, but that kind of small body, after he glanced at one or two, there is no longer the slightest interest.

However, Tu Bu suddenly remembered something, he looked at Zang Er, who was still trembling, and said in what he thought was quite a gentle tone: "This little girl, are you the daughter or granddaughter of the anti-thief Zang Di?"

Zang Er, who heard this, muttered for a while: "Zang Di is my eldest father." ”

Father is a title for grandfather.

"Good. He gently lowered the back of his sword, then turned back to the knight beside him and said, "Find someone who can handle the carriage and send him to General Wang." ”

"Wow. ”

After slowly watching the carriage leave, Tuobu smiled softly. Because what he saw was that Zang Di's handsome flag was slowly falling to the ground.

......

The main formation of the Zang Tu army fell into chaos, and in such a situation, it was difficult for the Zang Tu army troops on the front line to accept such a situation. There were two Zang Tu armies, and they were even the main formation that quickly returned to support Zang Tu Army.

But Di Bu himself knows one thing very well, that is, in such a situation, although Zang Di was not killed by him but fled, but after losing the quite obvious Shuai Qi banner, although the battle of Zang Tu Army did not collapse directly because of the defeat of the boss, it was enough to greatly weaken the will to fight of the Zang Di Army who were fighting on the front line.

Under such circumstances, Wang Changjun, who roughly understood what was going on, ordered his troops to launch a fierce attack against Zang Tu's army, whose combat effectiveness had greatly decreased, regardless of losses.

Soon, more and more Zang Dijun found out about this situation, and more and more people didn't know what to do next.

Many people looked at the position of Zang Di's main formation in astonishment, and did not see the commander of Zang Di's army on that side, but after an empty situation, a small prince's army that was not too willing to be controlled by Zang Tu seized the opportunity to retreat to other places. And when he did this, the impact on the other Zang Tu troops in the entire battle situation was no less than the situation where Zang Tu fled.

More and more troops still under command withdrew from the battlefield and fled southward. The Zang troops, who were entangled in the front line by Wang Chang's army, soon discovered a situation, that is, they seemed to have become abandoned pawns used by other friendly forces to stop the Qin army.

They soon lost one of the fighting armies, but they had no chance to leave. Because Wang Chang, who saw such a situation, directly ordered the army to launch a charge against Zang Tu's army except for the troops who stayed in the camp.

The battle has reached this point, no matter how poor Wang Chang's ability is, he knows one fact, that is, Zang Di's army was defeated.

He didn't really want to do this in his heart, because he knew very well that the Zang Tu army had been defeated, and whether he chased and killed the other party or not didn't have much meaning for the situation of the Zang Tu army.

But the reason why Wang Chang didn't stay was because he didn't want to support the main force of the Liaodong Army under Zhang Jiashi in the east, and there would be a Zang Tu army behind him who still had combat effectiveness.

You must know that even if the battle situation evolves like this, the actual loss for Zang Tujun is not large. If it is really speculated according to the battle situation, it seems that there should not be much problem for Zang Tu to temporarily gather and integrate a force of 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Under such circumstances, Wang Chang naturally could not let this idea become a reality. If such a situation really happens, it will definitely not be a good thing for them or for the Liaodong Army.

As a result, Wang Changjun, who had more than 80,000 people, officially joined the pursuit battle after crushing the more than 10,000 Zang Tu troops who could not retreat at all.

During the hour-long pursuit, the 15-kilometer southward pursuit road was almost full of the corpses of Zang Di's officers and soldiers.

According to incomplete statistics, on this day, the defeated Zang Tu army and the troops of the small princes, with a total of more than 50,000 horses, lay on the grass of this plain.

According to some later generations through rumors, a situation was described:

For nearly half a year, no one came to clean up the corpses in this place. As far as the eye can see, this place is basically full of rotting corpses and even bones of Yingye.

It was not until March 207 BC, when Zang Tu, who once again took control of the area, decided to send people to collect the remains and bury them on the spot.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Three hours later, Wang Chang met with Li Cang and others in an area about 10 kilometers south of Wang's camp.

The pursuit had stopped, and Wang Chang ordered the troops to discuss with Li Cang and others what to do after resting on the spot.

Wang Chang glanced at Li Cang, who was almost covered in blood, and was not too cold in his heart for this captain of the Liaodong Army, who was originally a prisoner. But Wang Chang, who knew very well that Li Cang's ability should not be bad, did not speak to Li Cang in the tone of a child of a family.

He said to Li Cang and the others after bending slightly and clenching his fists: "Captain Li, I don't know what we should do next?

Li Cang nodded: "Well, this thing must be done." Because the Qi army is more difficult to deal with than the Zang army. Zang Di's rout was more due to the fact that General Wang and the contemptible people were unprepared. ”

"Hmm. Wang Chang nodded and glanced at the officers and soldiers under his command who were resting on the spot nearby. Seeing that many people showed a trace of fatigue on their faces, Wang Chang sighed softly: "However, it is difficult for us to continue fighting again. Why don't we get on with our action after we've rested for half an hour?"

After hearing Wang Chang's words, Li Cang couldn't help but look at the situation of the others.

It was also possible to see the tiredness on the faces of these officers and soldiers under Wang Changjun's command, and Li Cang nodded slightly after thinking about it.

And Tu Bu frowned slightly at this time, because just resting like this for an hour or so didn't make much sense. After all, don't talk about Wang Changjun, they didn't even eat lunch.

Perhaps, someone will think that there is nothing wrong with skipping a meal and a half. But they didn't think about it, the officers and men under their command had been fighting for almost a whole afternoon, and if they could endure hunger and continue to fight under this kind of physical exertion, how much combat effectiveness they could exert was still a matter of difference.

Duo Bu said his thoughts, in exchange for not the praise of Wang Chang and Li Cang, but the silence of the two. for they did not bring out any grain at all. If you bury a pot in this place to cook, it is better to return to the camp and then make a plan.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, which is what she is talking about.

Seeing the silence of Wang Chang and Li Cang, Duo Bu also thought of the shortcomings of his suggestion, so after a while, he also became silent.

In such a situation, Wang Chang clenched his fists and returned to his troops. Li Cang, Duo Bu and others watched Wang Chang's departure in silence.

Because at such a time, whether it is Wang Chang or them, they have their own small problems that need to be dealt with.

For example, arranging for the wounded and so on.

After such a battle, not to mention the casualties of Wang Changjun, the losses of more than 10,000 knights under Li Cang's command were also quite heavy. There are less than 4,000 people who can be said to be intact and unharmed, and in addition to the more than 3,000 casualties who can be said to have retired from active duty, the remaining 3,000 people are more or less wounded.

In the current situation, it is clear that it is not the right thing to do if these wounded are not picked out and returned to the camp.

Of course, they defeated the Zang Tu army, but in order to make it impossible for the Zang Tu army to regroup for a period of time, they also had to resort to this kind of pursuit warfare, which was actually impossible to achieve the best results.

Zhang Jiashi has a sentence that Han Xin and Chen Ping think is very reasonable, that is, the poor are not chasing. The heavy casualties suffered by the two armies of Wang Changjun and Li Cangjun in the pursuit were more the result of the desperate resistance of these routs.

There was no way for them to do this, because in such a situation, it would be impossible for them to capture most of the defeated army, because they had no personnel to guard or escort these prisoners.

Therefore, Wang Chang and Li Cang both issued an order not to leave prisoners.

If under such a circumstance, the scattered officers and soldiers of the Zang Tu army did not resist desperately, it would be a strange thing.

Therefore, in such a situation, there will be such a large casualty.

According to Li Cang's subsequent discussion with Duo Bu and others, under such a situation, it was already a very good thing that he and Li Cang's troops could draw more than 60,000 troops to support.

And in fact, there is no such number, Li Cang and Dubu, the sworn brothers, shook their heads silently and gently.

......

An hour later, Li Cang saw about 40,000 troops under Wang Chang's command, which were lining up again and approaching them.

More than 5,000 officers and soldiers of Wang Chang's army, escorting more than 10,000 wounded, gradually returned to the camp of Wang Li's army.

Faced with such a result, Li Cang and Duo Bu shook their heads lightly again.

Because they never thought that Wang Changjun's losses would be so heavy.

And with such more than 10,000 wounded, if there is no need for troops to protect them, once they encounter the defeated troops of the Zang Tu Army, which are still in formation, it will not be a problem.

The march of the troops may be slower, but Li Cang, who glanced at the sky, said softly: "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. Duo Bu nodded slightly, and many of their knights gradually scattered on both sides of Wang Chang's army, because in such a situation, it was very likely that they would not be able to reach the rear of the Qi army after dark. Among the bags of these knights, there are also some torches wrapped in oilcloth, and their role is to provide lighting for Wang Changjun, who basically did not deal with such a situation.

This can't blame Wang Chang for looking very inadequately prepared, after all, even Wang Chang didn't predict that the situation would actually change like this.

They could only pray, and the Qi army was also unprepared for a night battle.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

As the sun slowly set in the west, the battlefield with a length of more than 500 meters and a width of more than three kilometers between three and four miles southeast of the Liaodong Army camp was almost full of corpses of officers and soldiers of the Qi Army and the Liaodong Army or seriously wounded people who were about to die.

Shortly after the end of the battle, the bells and drums of the temporary withdrawal were sounded on both sides.

In Zhang Jiashi's camp, standing opposite Chen Ping, looking at the not very good or even quite bitter faces of Han Xin and the others, he knew that their battle with the Qi army this time could be said to be a big loss.

Although they seem to have brought a lot of damage to the Qi army. However, in the face of the extremely shameless wheel-type combat of the Qi army, it was difficult to give full play to the advantage of the bow and crossbow, or the physical consumption of officers and soldiers was very large, and the army paid very heavy casualties.

Han Xin, He Huai and other heavy infantry units fighting in the front, except for the dead, were able to return to the camp alive, and they wanted to find a ...... without wounds on their bodies Hardly.

In this battle, the heavy infantry unit of more than 15,000 men lost more than 10,000 people, and the average battle formation reached almost 3,500 people.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the situation was wrong, and he ordered all the heavy infantry in his team to support the front, I am afraid that the Qi army would have broken through the stalemate between the two sides a long time ago.

It has to be said that this battle was the day when the Liaodong Army suffered the heaviest losses after it formally built its own combat system.

Together with the thousands of crossbowmen who were damaged in the exchange of crossbowmen with the Qi army, this one went down, and the Liaodong army suffered nearly 25,000 casualties, of which more than 15,000 corpses remained on the battlefield.

Of course, the losses of the Qi army were not light, and in this kind of face-to-face fierce battle, according to the assessment of the situation on the battlefield, the casualties of the Qi army should be about twice as many as theirs or more.

But the question also arises, that is, what to do tomorrow?

In such a situation, the Qi army can pay the loss of 50,000 or more soldiers and horses, in a sense, this battle is not a defeat, at least it can be regarded as a miserable victory.

But the problem also comes, that is, in the current situation, the troops under their command, the number of people who can be put into battle tomorrow, is definitely not 20,000.

What would have been a little more than double the number of people has become about three times since today. Moreover, there are less than 20,000 troops with the strength of the first battle, most of whom are crossbowmen with weak melee ability.

It is conceivable that once the Qi army launches another onslaught tomorrow, I am afraid that the possibility of this large battalion trying to hold it will become smaller.

After looking at Han Xin and the others for a while, he shook his head lightly and sighed: "Everyone, you go and deal with the affairs under your command." ”

Han Xin and the others received the order, and hugged their fists and promised: "Oh!"

After Han Xin and the others left, they looked at Chen Ping and Sun Po and showed a bitter smile: "Unexpectedly, we miscalculated this time." ”

After Chen Ping and Sun Po heard this, they also showed helpless looks.

They did, as they said before, miscalculate in such an assessment of the battle situation.

According to their thinking, it should not be a big problem for Wang Changjun to defeat Zang Tujun. But judging from the current situation, Wang Changjun does not seem to have solved Zang Dijun.

After the battle begins tomorrow, whether they can hold this large camp is still in between. Unless, they hold the camp and delay as long as possible until reinforcements arrive.

However, not to mention Chen Ping and Sun Po, they both know one thing very well, that is, if the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them.

If Wang Chang couldn't solve the Zang army in a short time, they would not be facing the Zang Tu army and the Qi army, but also the siege of the Chu army and the Zhang Han army.

Once such a situation does happen, they have only one option: to run away.

In a sense, is it really meaningful for them to persist in fighting to such a point?

The three of them glanced at each other in unison, and they could see a trace of bitterness in each other's eyes.

It's a pity that no matter how much they have thoughts, they can only stay in this place until Zhang Jiashi returns.

Of course, the opportunity to change such a fate is about to appear in front of them.
