Chapter 594: The three armies retreated together, and the Qin army pursued

It's hard to walk, especially when the big picture is in a rout.

Not all the soldiers can still keep calm, and not all the generals can continue to gather the defeated army and retreat to the route they have planned in such a critical time.

In a way, after abandoning more than 15,000 soldiers, Xinlingjun was able to gather the main force of the Wei army and march towards Gongcheng, and his ability was already stronger than that of many generals.

Of course, Wei Wuji, the Xinling monarch in history, is indeed a person who knows soldiers, you must know that he compiled the military book "The Art of War of Wei Gongzi", and in practice, he led the army of the Five Kingdoms to defeat the existence of the Qin army, and the soldiers and horses he led even knocked on the door of Hangu Pass again.

This was also the last effective counterattack of the Six Kingdoms against Qin in the late Warring States period.

Eighteen years after the death of Xinlingjun, the state of Wei was destroyed by the state of Qin. It can be said that Xinlingjun is to Wei as Li Muzhi is to Zhao and Xiang Yan is to Chu.

Such a character may not be called a top general, but he is still a relatively good one.

The Wei army, which is still neat now, is proof of this. In a hurry, although the Gongcheng route he chose was in the hands of the Qin army, this did not mean that he miscalculated. On the contrary, it is not so much that he did not think it through, but that it was his inevitable choice.

Under the big defeat and defeat, the reason why the Wei army was still holding together, in addition to the prestige of Xinlingjun himself, was the belief in returning to the country.

In such a situation, even if he knew that Gongcheng was afraid that the Qin army would block it, Xinlingjun could only stubbornly march towards Gongcheng.

Because everyone knows that only Gongcheng is the way home. Once you change direction, under the influence of Sijia, I am afraid that the army will not go far and will fall apart.

Rather than this, it is better to run to Gongcheng with a large army, even if it hits a wall at that time, and then adjusts, it will only lose some troops.

Of course, in the face of the pursuit of the main force of the Qin army, it would be false to say that he was not nervous. Credible Lingjun knows better that the more times like this, the more he can't panic, and only by gathering the troops together and clenching them into a fist can it be possible to smash the encirclement of the Qin army.

Unlike Wei Jun, who clenched into a fist and punched it firmly, Zhao Jun's method was the other extreme.

There are as many as four or five places to draw water from the north alone, but the nearest Heyong City was missed, and it narrowly escaped the encirclement of the Qin army.

This is not to say that Lian Po's tactics are more advanced than those of Xinlingjun, it can only be said that all armies are adapted to local conditions and people's conditions.

On the one hand, Lian Po's prestige in the army is not comparable to that of Xinlingjun, and Zhao Jun learned the news of the Han army in advance, so it can be said that the retreat of the Zhao army is essentially different from the retreat of the Wei army, so the Zhao army does not have a sense of panic, and naturally there is no need to stare at the way home.

On the other hand, because of the narrow and narrow appearance from east to west on the overall terrain of Zhou Wangji, there were too many choices for the Zhao army, so it was natural to choose to divide the troops to cross in order to preserve the troops as much as possible.

Just like in the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", Yang Liqing's department could be split into companies and break through at every turn, while Fan Xiliang's department could only clench into a fist and fight out resolutely.

It's not that Yang Liqing is smarter than Lao Fan, but that the two are in different troops and positions.

Of course, compared with the local conditions of Zhao and Wei, the retreat of Chu seemed so simple and casual.

After being reminded by Zhao Jun, the general of Chu State also quickly realized the abnormality in the main camp.

After a cursory inspection, he was about to faint to death on the spot, but in the originally huge main camp, only he and more than 10,000 Wei troops were left to hold on.

In an instant, the entire Chu army fell into chaos.

Of course, the general of the Chu State knew that there was nothing to defend anymore!

Looking up at the south and closer to the west on the walled towers, the Qin army has gradually gained a firm foothold, after the absence of the main general, the Wei army, which is not strong in fighting spirit, in the face of more than ten times its own enemy, has neither a strong organization, nor a general order to retreat, many troops are directly under the leadership of their respective Qu Chang and Shi Chang, very much

He simply put down the weapon in his hand, and then surrendered on his knees!

Fortunately, there are those who surrender, and naturally there are those who resist desperately.

Although the Qin army gradually gained a firm foothold, it did not completely win the two walled buildings for a while.

The Chu army, which had a deep blood feud with the Qin army, naturally did not want to surrender, but even the Chu army, which was fully staffed, was still defeated by the Qin army, let alone at this time.

With the strength of only one army, with the continuous attack of the Qin army, the strength of the Chu army has reached a desperate moment.

Seeing that the Qin army has gradually occupied the upper peak on the Nanzhai, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will attack the side of the big camp, and those with sharp ears can even hear the sound of the clattering hooves of the Qin cavalry.

"Hey!" General Qu also sighed softly, looking at the decadent army under his command and the open gate in the rear, everyone knew that the battle had been completely defeated.

It doesn't matter if the battle is lost, what matters is what to do next?

Guard, that's a plan that can't be kept! Escape? I'm afraid it's not easy! Looking at the iron hooves of the Qin army in the north, it was impossible for the foot soldiers under his command to run past the Qin army on this plain.

Even if he abandons the army and returns to Chu alone, I am afraid that there will be no good results, and even the stigma of abandoning the army to live alone will be imprinted on his body.

Or, it's down!

If you fight with other countries, in the face of such a situation, surrender will also surrender, and it is a big deal to let your own family spend more money and food to buy yourself and the troops under your command back after the war.

But the problem is that it is the Qin State that is fighting now!

Not to mention the feud between Qin and Chu, with the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State, once he surrenders, I am afraid that what he will usher in is not the trap of imprisonment, but the addition of swords and axes!

The Qin State has been killed and surrendered, not once or twice!

The general of the state of Chu quickly judged the situation and immediately decided to accept the advice of General Lian Po of the Zhao army - to flee, before the Qin army had completely occupied the city tower.

Just when the general of Chu made up his mind to escape, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp of the Zhao army further north, which was the flame of the Zhao army blocking the Qin army.

The huge flames instantly ignited the dim sky, but at the same time, it also gave the Chu army hope of breaking through - almost all of the cavalry of the Qin army were concentrated on the side of the pursuing Zhao army.

Then what else do you have to say, hurry up!

Immediately, there was no second word, taking advantage of the time when the west and south walls had not completely fallen, the Chu army decisively left 3,000 troops to block the Qin army, and its main army of about 20,000 people turned to the southwest corner, knocked down a wall, and then fled.

And the direction they were traveling was not anywhere else, but the important place occupied by the Qin army, the city of Negative Millet.

Yes, the general of Chu did not have so many eyes of Lian Po, and did not take a detour, in his heart, the main cavalry of the Qin army pursued the Zhao army, and the main force of the infantry would definitely not let go of the Wei army, which had more troops, and he was naturally safe.

Almost in the middle of Zhou Wangji, the negative city is obviously a good choice. If you want to bypass the city of Negative Huang and go west, then you have to enter the territory of Korea, which is obviously not possible, and if you continue to go east, the distance will be far, and under the current situation, the general of Chu is naturally not happy.

For the Chu army, as long as they can successfully reach the city of Negative Huang, they will be able to return to the territory of Chu in a few hours. This risk, the general of Chu is willing to take a risk.

It should be said that General Chu's idea is beautiful, but unfortunately, he still doesn't know much about Qin!

The Qin State has never been afraid that it will be overwhelmed, although the Chu State only has only 20,000 horses left, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat in the eyes of the Qin army!

Since it was meat, it was impossible for Qin Jun to let it go.

Seeing that the main camp of the coalition army was broken, and the armies of the Three Kingdoms scattered and fled, Wang Di of the Qin army immediately divided his troops to chase after him.

Although Wang's arrangement was generally similar to what the general of Chu had guessed: Meng Wei led almost all of the cavalry to pursue the Zhao army, and he personally led the main infantry to prepare to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Wei army.

There is only one point, the strength of the Qin army is not short, and naturally 20,000 people were sent to the Chu State

Horses, tailgating and hitting.

In this way, the army of the Three Kingdoms fled in front, and the Qin army chased behind.

It's just that the Meng Fu Department who pursued the Zhao army was bitter, and the scouts found that the Zhao army was preparing to cross the river in the east for a while, and then there was a report that it was also found in the west of Heyongcheng that the traces of the Zhao army crossing the river were also found, and not long after that, there was a scout return order, and the main force of the Zhao army was ahead!

Meng Fu, who was riding on the war horse, was really a little dizzy!

There were not just two paths in front of him, at least four or five. If you choose the right one, it is very likely that you can block the main force of the Zhao army on the south bank of the water, and if you choose the wrong one, you can only regret it.

This is undoubtedly the most difficult moment for a general.

Of course, it is also the only way for a general to go to glory or to perdition.

Meng Fu will obviously be the former. In a short time, Meng Fu reacted, this is Zhao Jun's strategy of dividing the troops.

It's just that a touch of helplessness also quietly climbed up Meng Fu's face.

The roads in front of us are undoubtedly correct, but they are also wrong.

No matter which one, he may be able to catch the tail of Zhao Jun, but no matter which one, he can't catch the main force of Zhao Jun.

Since you can't catch it, don't catch it!

Find the easiest and most sure ferry crossing and break Zhao Jun's arm as much as possible! Perhaps the best choice for Meng Fu.

It's just that even this idea can't be done.

The reason is very simple, if Meng Fu's homework is more detailed, and he can be more clear about the ferries along the coast of Jishui, he may be able to find the ferry that is most likely to completely annihilate the Zhao army.

It's a pity that the choice is right in front of you, and it's obviously too late to make up for your homework now.

"Then don't choose!" Meng Fu quickly made a decision: "Ten sheep in sight is better than one sheep in hand!"

"The army continues to pursue the Zhao army in front of you!" Meng Fu decisively gave instructions to the army.

"Yes." The herald immediately received the order and immediately passed it away.

It should be said that Meng Fu's decision is already the best choice at present, rather than fighting Zhao Jun in other directions, it is better to stare at the Zhao army in front of him, not to mention others, Lian Po alone is worth tens of thousands of Zhao Jun.

If this army can be left, it is worth it that the Zhao army in other places has crossed the water.

Soon, under Meng Fu's orders, tens of thousands of Qin cavalry accelerated again and rushed towards Lian Po's department.

It's just that Meng Fu seems to have forgotten: How could General Lian Po be so easily annihilated?!
