Chapter 289: The Qin Army Suffered a Fiasco

"Lord of the Kingdom! Lord of the Kingdom! ”

The shouts of the generals who were galloping not far away attracted Sun Kewang's attention, and he looked at the generals with black faces and bloodstains, and before he could ask, the generals turned over and dismounted, staggered to their knees, and shouted:

"Lord, the right flank has been crushed! The Chu army is too strong! ”

Sun Kewang buzzed at the back of his head when he heard this, and he hurriedly ordered: "Go up, let Shi Shangyi lead the rear army to go up, we must ensure that the defense line does not fall!" ”

"Yes!" The general took the command with his fists clenched, rushed to his horse, and galloped away.

But he only ran a few dozen meters away, and suddenly a shell fell from the sky and exploded less than two meters beside him, and the flying shrapnel directly drilled into his vital parts, and the general screamed miserably, and fell to the ground with men and horses.

Sun Kewang witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and the military advisers beside him were also shocked, Fan Yingxu hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, the Chu army's artillery has been able to hit here, just in case, please temporarily retreat and retreat to a safe place." ”

Sun Kewang shook his head, forcefully rejected his words, and said: "Lone and Wang Qi stand here, if Lone retreats, the army's morale will be scattered." ”

After speaking, Sun Kewang calmly sent a herald to issue several orders one after another, and it didn't take long for Shi Shangyi to lead the rear army reserve to rush to the right flank that was gradually retreating, and exchanged fire with the Chu army.

The two sides began to shoot at each other again, but the right-wing Chu army had been fighting continuously for more than an hour since the start of the battle, and they were physically and mentally tired, and they no longer had the sharpness they had just now.

Su Dingyuan promptly ordered the reserve team that was ready to fight at any time to take over the front-line robes, and those soldiers who were still fighting listened to the order to retreat, and felt a little regretful in their hearts, but they were more relieved, and slowly retreated with the rhythmic drumbeat.

The Qin army also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Chu army retreating, and the generals among them promptly withdrew the soldiers whose morale was shaken in the front row to the back for repair, and replaced them with soldiers with higher morale who had not yet participated in the battle to stand at the front.

It didn't take long for the Chu army to complete the replacement, and the new soldiers slowly pressed up with the sound of drums, and they all carried their rifles on their shoulders, and the bayonets fixed under the muzzle of the guns flashed dazzlingly in the sunlight, giving the Qin army on the opposite side an indescribable psychological pressure.

Pedal Pedal –

The morale of the Chu soldiers on the top was high, and they did not rush to shoot after entering the firing range, intending to advance to within thirty paces to give the enemy a thunderous blow.

The Qin army didn't care what their intentions were, seeing that the Chu army had entered the firing range, they launched a counterattack one after another, and long-range weapons such as bows, birds, and bees greeted one by one, bringing a lot of casualties to the Chu army.

The artillerymen who had just won the victory from the artillery battle quickly turned their guns and opened fire on the Qin infantry in the center of the battlefield, and the Qin army suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and there were many more corpses on the ground.

In the face of the rain of bullets and bullets of the Qin army, the soldiers of the Chu army finally approached thirty paces, and in the roar of the officers full of anger, the soldiers raised their guns one after another, and fired a deafening salvo at the Qin army, which was slightly unstable because of the shelling on the opposite side!

——....Bang bang only one salvo, the Qin army fell in pieces like wheat harvested in autumn, they screamed and shouted, and their hearts were suddenly filled with fear as they saw the robe fall miserably to the ground.

Even though the officers and generals shouted to encourage them around them, they couldn't help but start to retreat, and at this moment, they suddenly heard a deafening shout of killing from the thick smoke of gunpowder, and many Chu soldiers roared angrily and raised their bayonets and charged towards the disheartened Qin army.

Seeing this, the Qin soldiers could no longer hold back the fear in their hearts, they screamed and turned to flee, pushing and shoving the people in front of them, the Chu army strode after them with the belief of avenging the robe, they raised their rifles high and stabbed the enemy in the back.

A cry of crying father and mother immediately sounded on the battle line, and the Qin army, which was already unstable, was completely crushed by the Chu army's round of approaching salvos and charges, and the battlefield was full of soldiers screaming and fleeing.

The Qin generals brandished their sabers and shouted orders to the soldiers who had escaped by him to stop and turn back to resist, but no one paid attention to their orders, and they on horseback soon became the target of the Chu army.

Hearing only the sound of a gunshot, the general of the Qin army on horseback screamed and fell from the horseback with a small wound on his chest, and dozens of meters away from him, a light infantryman retracted his gun with satisfaction and silently wrote down the number of heads in his heart.

In any case, the Qin army was in decline, the infantry had all fled, and the long front was full of deserters, and Sun Kewang watched in despair at the catastrophic scene of defeat like a mountain, and his face was like ashes.

"Lord, please return to Guiyang!"

The cronies beside him said loudly.

"Go back to Guiyang, we still have hope, Yunnan is still there, the lord of the country, we can make a comeback!" Fan Yingxu also persuaded him.

Sun Kewang didn't say a word, he knew very well in his heart that everything was over, he mobilized almost all of his troops to this side to fight to the death with the Chu army, but they failed in this battle, even if he escaped Guiyang, what could he do?

To the west of Guiyang, only Feng Shuangli and Wang Shangli's troops were still loyal to him, but Feng Shuangli had been entangled by Guo Zhiqi, and Wang Shangli was still attacking Yunnan Mansion, and he had no way to retreat.

Seeing that Sun Kewang didn't say a word, Fan Yingxu boldly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Kewang's hand directly, and ordered in an undoubted tone to the surrounding guards: "Send the lord away!" Fast! Do your duty! ”

At this moment, Shi Shangyi led the only remaining soldiers and horses who were still restrained and fled back, and under the persuasion of Fan Yingxu, he decided to escort Sun Kewang back to Guiyang.

Sun Kewang knew very well that if he escaped the river, it would be equivalent to completely abandoning his subordinates, he struggled to push away the guards on the left and right, and said loudly:

"The front-line foot soldiers are still fighting hard, and they are alone as the lord of the country, how can they abandon them and run away by themselves?"

Fan Yingxu was unmoved, he insisted on sending Sun Kewang across the river: "Lord, the defeat of the army has become a certainty, and the soldiers and horses on the southern front will be defeated sooner or later, if you wait until then to retreat, you are likely to be blocked by the Chu army to retreat!" "....Anyway, without waiting for Sun Kewang to object, he forced his guards to take him away, Sun Kewang struggled desperately, and scolded Fan Yingxu loudly, but he was still forcibly taken away.

There was only one stone bridge left over the South Gate River that connected the battlefield with Guiyang City, and by the time Sun Kewang had arrived here, it was already crowded with people, and groups of soldiers were scrambling to cross the stone bridge.

As soon as he heard the shouts and drums of the Chu army behind him, the Qin army trapped here was even more frightened, and the shouts of the Chu army were getting closer and closer, Sun Kewang had no choice but to abandon his war horse, forcibly squeeze a road under the escort of his own guards, and fled to the other side of the river.

After crossing the opposite bank, Sun Kewang looked at the Chu army that was still pursuing the rout on the battlefield, sighed, and did not enter Guiyang City, but continued to flee west under the escort of Shi Shangli and others.

The Qin army, which was still fighting with Lai Xun's troops on the southern front, saw that Sun Kewang's main formation was defeated, and Wang Qi fled across the river with the commander, and immediately understood that they had been abandoned.

There was an uproar in the southern front army, the soldiers cursed loudly, they had no fighting spirit, they turned around and fled, and the abandoned generals were also like ashes, they simply led their subordinates to surrender to the Chu army in formation.

With Sun Kewang's escape, the Qin army was completely defeated.

The good news of the Battle of Guiyang spread as quickly as wings all over the country, and when Wang Shangli, who was still stubbornly resisting in Zazuosi, learned of this bad news, his heart was full of despair, and he dismissed all his subordinates that night, drew his sword and killed himself, and the Chu army finally conquered this difficult city.

Not only that, but all parts of Guizhou also looked down on the wind, even though most of the officials in these prefectures and counties were selected from the imperial examinations that Sun Kewang had re-established, but they all knew that after the Battle of Guiyang, Sun Kewang no longer had the strength to make a comeback, so surrender was not an unspeakable thing.

Su Yan took this opportunity to convene a court meeting and announced that he would increase the number of officers and knights in the Battle of Guiyang to reward them.

After a round of enthusiasm, Su Yan issued an edict in the name of the prison country, announcing that Jin Su Dingyuan was the Duke of Rongguo, and the crown prince Taibao, the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Lai Xun was the Marquis of Meihu, and the general soldier of Guizhou, Liu Fang's name was Hong Guangbo, and Yu Dafeng was poor.

Chen Shitai also got his wish with his heroic performance in the battle, and was crowned as Pinglangbo, awarded the deputy commander-in-chief of Guizhou, and the general Liu Zhenguo abandoned the darkness in time to surrender to the light, and persuaded Tusi to be named Lu Shanbo anyway.

After rewarding those who have made meritorious contributions, considering the new occupation of Guizhou and the instability of various places, Su Yan transferred the experienced An Daoyuan to Guizhou to serve as the governor of Guizhou, appeasing the hearts of the people in various places and promoting the policy of apportioning the land into the mu.

There are many Tusi in Guizhou, Su Yan naturally wants to change the land and return to the stream, but at present, Guizhou has not been completely occupied, and Yunnan is still under the control of the Qin army.

The Tusi did not know that they had been targeted, and they were ignorant and still following the Chu army to continue to advance towards Yunnan.

After learning the result of the Battle of Guiyang, Feng Shuangli, who was blocked by Guo Zhiqi in Zhenning Prefecture, decided to take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender to the Chu army after being entangled for a long time.

He is not a diehard loyalist of Sun Kewang, just like he made the same choice in history, and changed his course when Sun Kewang was defeated.

After Feng Shuangli surrendered to the Chu army, Sun Kewang, who fled from Guiyang to Anshun Prefecture in one go, learned the news and immediately scolded angrily.

He scolded not only Feng Shuangli, but also all the cities he passed through were closed, just like the sentence "The city gate is closed during the day, and it is called again and again, and there is no city full of pots and salaries, and there are those who should not be."

The once invincible lord of the country almost betrayed his relatives in his Guizhou base camp and became a lost dog.
