The flames were crackling and burning, and the camp tents of the Qi army kept collapsing, and along with the collapse was the fighting spirit of the Qi army.

The flames were rushing all around, and the shouts of Zhao Jun were everywhere in his ears, and Qi Jun didn't know how many enemies there were around, and he didn't know whether the commander was dead or alive.

It will be the courage of the soldiers, and the Qi army that has lost its courage will either surrender to the Zhao army, or flee towards the mountains, and there will be fewer and fewer Qi troops to resist.

"General, we can't hold on." A guard shouted loudly, and as soon as the words fell, a knife flash flashed, and the guard fell to the ground unwillingly.

"General, you go first, we will help you block Zhao Jun." The guards around him said one after another.

Although Tian Cheng's ability is mediocre, he is very good to the guards around him on weekdays, and there is no shortage of people who are willing to die for him.

"Withdraw!" Tian Cheng roared unwillingly, shook his sword at Rong Yan, turned around and fled towards the darkness.

Rong Yan wanted to rush up and stop Tian Cheng, but the Qi army rushed up one after another, blocking Rong Yan with flesh and blood.

"Get out!" Rong Yan swung his sword and cut the enemy in front of him in half, and the Qi army took a few steps back in fear, and then rushed up again.

But not all Qi troops can do it and forget about death, most of the Qi troops have already become frightened birds, and when they see a figure approaching in the distance, whether it is an enemy or not, they shoot arrows directly, turn around and flee.

Qing Qin killed from the rear, and continued to capture the strongholds defended by the Qi army along the way, and the Qi general Sun Ben, who defended the rear army, organized a large army to resist Qing Qin, but was quickly repelled by Qing Qin, and even he was beheaded by Qing Qin.

"The combat effectiveness of the Qi army is also too weak." The lieutenant easily slashed the enemy, and said with a smile.

"Don't be arrogant, we took advantage of the night attack and fire attack, and caught the Qi army by surprise, if we fight head-on, even if we can defeat the Qi army, we will suffer heavy losses." Qing Qin said in a deep voice.

The Zhao army is really more elite than the Qi army, and there are only 30,000 standing troops, which are the real elite, and the other 40,000 prisoners and strong soldiers are no different from the Qi army.

But the number of Qi troops is 100,000, 30,000 more than the Zhao army, and some of them must be elite soldiers, but I don't know the specific number.

Qing Qin was a little dissatisfied with Pang Xuan before, but now he is convinced by Pang Xuan, if he is allowed to fight this battle, he will definitely not be able to win this battle at the cost of Ruci.

"General, I found the granary of the Qi army." At this time, a knight rushed over, and when he saw Qing Qin, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and reported with his fists in his fists.

"The granary was sealed off immediately, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without the order of the general or General Pang Xuan. In addition, all the surrounding tents were dismantled to prevent the burning of the tents from spreading to the granary. Qing Qin ordered.

At this time, the flames had just burned to the camp of the Chinese army, and it was still far from the rear camp, but as the wind became stronger and stronger, it was a matter of time before it burned to the rear camp.

These grains are all trophies of the Zhao army, and they must not be lost.

Pang Xuan and Qiang Yan led the Zhao army to surround them one left and one right, the black light was blind, and the Zhao army continued to fall behind, but at this time, they couldn't take care of so much, after the light was on, the left team would naturally be recovered.

"General, the one in front of you wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand is Tian Cheng, the chief general of the Qi army." When Rong Yan saw Pang Xuan, he pointed at Tian Chengdao excitedly.

He was blocked by the Qi army, and he had completely lost the hope of killing Tian Cheng, rather than letting Tian Cheng escape or Pang Xuan himself caught Tian Cheng, it was better to sell Pang Xuan a good, even if he didn't distinguish himself with merit, it was good to be able to say good things in front of King Zhao.

Although Rong Xuan can also meet King Zhao, it is rare for him to talk, but Pang Xuan is a person who can often talk to King Zhao.

"Tian Cheng!" Pang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he instantly locked on Tian Cheng's back, his legs clamped the horse's belly, the war horse under his crotch jumped up, and the spear swung forward.

The crimson spear rolled up the flames to form a fire tornado several meters long, accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, like a flying fire snake, rushing towards Tian Cheng.

Tian Cheng instantly felt a blazing temperature coming from behind, and the whole person slammed to the ground, and his back was scorched black, accompanied by bursts of meat fragrance.

"General...... He's dead. "After the guards came forward to check, they came back to report.

"It's so hard to beat." Pang Xuan frowned, he wanted to catch the alive, only the living ones could negotiate with the Qi State, and if they died, the effect would be greatly reduced.

"The strength of the main general of the Qi army is average, and he has been fighting for so long, where can he withstand the general's full force." Rong Worm killed all the Qi troops who were blocking him, and came over panting.

There were actually two Gangyuan Realm martial artists among these guards, but fortunately, his strength was amazing, and he killed both of them, but he was also slashed in the chest.

"If it weren't for General Rong dragging him down, General Ben wouldn't have killed him so easily, I would have reported it, and General Rong would have been indispensable." Pang Xuan said to Rong Yan that he didn't like to owe favors to others.

"Thank you, General." Rong said gratefully.

"Cut off Tian Cheng's head and persuade the other Qi troops to surrender." Pang Xuan ordered.

The camp of the Qi army stretched for more than ten miles, and it was not a matter of time and a half to defeat all of them, and what the Zhao army really occupied now was the front camp and the middle camp of the Qi army.

However, Tian Cheng is dead, and if the Qi army does not have a general with enough prestige to stand up, it is impossible for the remaining battalion to hold it.

"No." Rong Yan stepped forward, cut off Tian Cheng's head, and walked towards the depths of the Qi army camp with hundreds of Zhao troops.

"General, if you don't find Hou Sheng, you will have fled long ago if you have Qi Army." A team came back to report.

"Pass the order down, collect the defeated army of Qi, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will not be spared. Go all out to search the Qi army and supervise the army after victory, and whoever is caught will be rewarded with 500 gold. If the Qi army provides real clues, they can also get a reward, and they can be released home. If you are afraid of being pursued by Qi State, you can also move into Zhao State with your whole family. Pang Xuan said loudly.

There are few people in Zhao Jun who know Hou Sheng, plus it is the middle of the night, and his vision is blocked, even if Hou Sheng stands in front of Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun may not be able to recognize it.

Therefore, the hope of finding the victory is still in Qi Jun, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, Pang Xuan doesn't believe that no one is moved.

In the middle of the night, it was a wilderness again, and Hou Sheng couldn't escape far at all, as long as someone found Hou Sheng's traces, Zhao Jun could catch up.

Time passed little by little, and a loud rooster crow was heard in the city, and the sun slowly peeked out from the ground, and the dazzling light illuminated the ground and the entire battlefield.

In addition to the granary being preserved by the Zhao army, the entire Qi army camp was already a piece of ashes, and the cold wind blew up the ashes, revealing the scorched ground, and the whimpering wind seemed to tell people about the tragedy of last night.

"General, the battle report has come out, last night our army killed more than 9,000 enemy troops, including the enemy commander Tian Cheng, and captured more than 63,000 enemy troops, including two adjutant generals. He lost 959 soldiers and soldiers, mainly in the dark, and was knocked to the ground by the Qi army, resulting in death in battle. More than 6,000 wounded have been treated. Feng went to report on the disease.

"Congratulations General."

"Congratulations General."

The generals stood up to congratulate each other.

With less than 1,000 losses, the defeat of 100,000 Qi troops, the capture of more than 60,000, and the beheading of the enemy commander are rare and great victories for anyone.

All the previous doubts about Pang Xuan were swept away.

Soldiers like to follow generals who can win battles, or have a low casualty rate, the former can get merit, the latter can survive, and Pang Xuan can lead everyone to win battles, and can lead everyone to survive.

How can everyone not be satisfied!

"It's all thanks to everyone, and if it wasn't for everyone's hard work, this battle wouldn't have been so smooth." Pang Xuan motioned for everyone to sit down, and continued, "Can anyone provide information about Hou Sheng?" ”

"General Yu, from midnight to now, five or six people have successively provided clues to Hou Sheng, and only one is true, and when we got there, Hou Sheng had already run away." Feng went to the fast road.

"If you can't catch it, forget it." Pang Xuan waved his hand, he grabbed Hou Sheng mainly to negotiate with Qi State, after all, Hou Sheng is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager of Qi and the uncle of the King of Qi.

Zhao State does not want to capture the territory of Qi State, not because of morality or anything, how can there be any morality between countries and countries, but that Zhao State has just annexed Yan State, and it has not had time to digest it, and at the same time, it is also fighting with Qin State, and there is a lot of pressure at home.

If Qi can admit his mistake through negotiation and hand over the murderer of Zhao Rao, the king of Qi will issue an edict and go to the tomb to worship the Zhao people.

Zhao Guo has an explanation to the people, and he can withdraw from the army.

Zhao Guo has done this kind of thing for the people, and everyone will do nothing.

On the contrary, if Qi State can't give Zhao Guo an explanation, Zhao State, which is difficult to ride a tiger, can only keep fighting.

But if you can't catch it, you can't do it, and there are more than 60,000 Qi troops as bargaining chips.

However, it is difficult to see which of the more than 60,000 Qi troops or the queen mother of Qi is more important in the hearts of the King of Qi and the Empress Dowager of Qi.

"Send the war report to Handan. The order went down, and after the third rear, the camp was pulled out to attack Linzi. Pang Xuan ordered.

"Aren't you going to negotiate with Qi Guo?" Feng Quji said suspiciously.

"If the army doesn't hit Linzi City, do you think the Qi Congress will sit down and talk to you? Military is a prerequisite for negotiations. Pang Xuan glanced at Feng Quji, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was obvious: Young man, you are still too tender.

"The younger generation has been taught." Feng Qu nodded with a happy heart, although he was intelligent, but after all, he was young and had little experience, and there were some things that still needed to be learned.

"There's a mission for you." Pang Xuan said.

"General, please command."

"Send an envoy to the Chu army to tell the Chu army the news of our army's defeat of the Qi army, and urge them to break the Qi army as soon as possible and join our army in Linzi." Pang Xuan said.

During the period when the Zhao army and the Qi army were facing off, the Chu army was also confronting the Qi army.

Although the Qi general Wang Sun Jia was quite famous in the Qi State, he had no experience in leading troops into battle.

Being able to arrange for hundreds of thousands of troops to eat, drink, and not cause chaos is already very powerful, but that's all, unless he is the kind of famous general who is not born in the world, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Chu army.

And if he is a famous general who is not born in the world, then it will not be Tian Dan who will be restored back then, but his Wang Sun Jia.

The reason why the Qi army has persisted until now is not because Wang Sunjia is capable, but because the Chu army did not really attack.

The reason is very simple, Chu Jun does not want Zhao Jun to take advantage.

If the Chu army has been pressing the Qi army, the Qi State will inevitably transfer troops from the Zhao Qi battlefield to support the Chu Qi battlefield, and the Chu army will be equivalent to attracting firepower for the Zhao army.

Of course, it was impossible for Chu Jun to do this.

This is also the reason why most allies fall apart, no one wants to contribute, everyone wants to take advantage.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun did not put his hope on Chu Jun from beginning to end.

……

At the moment when the Zhao army rushed into the camp, the vigilant Hou Sheng found that something was wrong, he knew that with his own ability, not helping was the biggest help to the Qi army, plus the Zhao army was menacing, Hou Sheng was afraid, and immediately led dozens of loyal guards to flee in the direction away from the Zhao army.

But if you escape from the battle, you will be beheaded according to the law, even if Hou Sheng is the uncle of King Qi, it will not fall into the good.

Therefore, Hou Sheng did not flee the battlefield immediately, but waited on the sidelines, and after determining that the Qi army was completely powerless, he found a donkey cart, and under the escort of his own guards, escaped the pursuit of the Zhao army, stumbled along the way, and finally escaped to Linzi.

"The king, the queen mother, our army has been defeated." After entering the city, Hou Sheng did not return home, did not bathe and change clothes, dragged his tired body, wore tattered clothes, rushed to the palace, and fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

When Empress Dowager Qi heard Hou Sheng's words, her eyes suddenly darkened, and her body was planted to the side, but fortunately, a palace maid supported her in time.

"Quick, pass on the Imperial Doctor." King Qi shouted.

"Queen Mother ......" Hou Sheng hurriedly got up and rushed to the Queen Mother Qi.

"The Queen Mother is fine, but she was stimulated and couldn't bear it for a while. It's fine to take care of it for some time, but if you are overworked or often stimulated, you may fall into the root of the disease. After the imperial doctor's examination, he leaned over and said.

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor." Empress Dowager Qi glared at Hou Sheng angrily.

"Then the minister went down first." The imperial doctor had already seen that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the hall, and it was better for his minions to stay away, so as not to be affected.

"Well, what's going on?" Empress Dowager Qi said in a deep voice, her face was gloomy, and she could drip water.

"Two years ago, the Zhao army attacked our army camp at night, and set fire to the camp, it was dark all around, I don't know how many Zhao troops came, at the moment of crisis, the minister could only lead the soldiers and the Zhao army to fight bloodily, but the Zhao army was too brave, plus the camp tent was burned, our army's morale plummeted, and finally lost to the Zhao army, the minister could only lead the remnants of the army and fight and retreat." Hou Sheng lowered his head and said.

"Where's Tian Cheng?" Empress Dowager Qi asked.

"Minister...... Ignorance. Hou Sheng shook his head.

He really didn't know that he was in the front camp and Tian Cheng was in the middle camp. When Tian Cheng was still asleep, he had already run away.

"How many troops are left in our army?" Empress Dowager Qi asked again.

"Minister...... I don't know. Hou Sheng shook his head again.

"You...... When you fled, didn't you know how to gather the defeated army? Empress Dowager Qi pointed at Hou Sheng, trembling with anger, and ruthlessly debunked the fact that Hou Sheng had fled.

If Hou Sheng knew how many defeated troops were left in the Qi army, the Empress Dowager Qi still believed that Hou Sheng fought bloodily and lost to the Zhao army in the end, but Hou Sheng didn't even know how many defeated troops were left, isn't this just a person who secretly escaped back.

Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment, he should indeed collect the rout army along the way, even if he can't stop the Zhao army, at least he can defend Linzi.

But at that time, he was only thinking about escaping, where did he think of so many things.

Besides, he is a prison guard, only responsible for supervision, and he didn't expect this to happen before!
