The cavalry commander of the Qin army was puzzled why his own cavalry was also incorporated into the front army.

Although he had to attack a little later than the infantry in front of him, he had to advance as quickly as the general asked. In this way, your cavalry will soon overtake the infantry in front of you and reach the city wall!

The problem is that although this Zeng City is far less majestic than Yingdu, it is also the capital of the former Zeng State, and after the Qin State took Yan Ying, Zeng City, as a front-line town, was strengthened by the Qin army several times.

Although the cavalry of the Qin army is not afraid of any country in the field, in the end, the war horse cannot fly!

In the face of the solid city walls, the only way for the cavalry to be killed was to walk around the city and fight the enemy with bows and arrows.

Obviously, the defending side, which has a high degree of superiority, is not afraid of the cavalry's cavalry tactics at all, on the contrary, it can also destroy the cavalry according to the geographical advantage.

Although the general's order really confused the cavalry generals of the Qin army, out of fear of Qin Fa and out of trust in the general Wang Di, the cavalry of the Qin army still rushed forward without hesitation.

And this scene was naturally seen by the main general of the Chu army on the city tower.

It should be said that the generals who can guard the gate of the country still have two brushes, seeing that the Qin army actually used cavalry to detain the pass, he immediately thought of the problem of the city gate, and even with the news that there was a riot in the city just now due to the bamboo slips thrown by the Qin army, the general of the Chu State seemed to have realized something.

Just when the lord of Chu wanted to order the reinforcement of military defense at the city gates, the bad news had already come: "In the caves of the west gate and the south gate, they were attacked by the Qin army at the same time. ”

Hearing this news, how could the lord of the Chu State not know the plans of the Qin army, but the question is, what else could he do at this time?

The lord of the Chu State really regretted why he didn't fill all the four gates with stones when the Qin army first appeared.

Although he knew that the general situation might have gone, the chief general of the Chu State was still silently doing his best, hoping for a miracle.

"Order the reserves in the city to immediately march to the west and south gates, and regain control of the city gates at all costs." Immediately issued an order to his subordinates: "Order the east and north gates." ”

As soon as the words of "immediately blocked" came to his lips, the main general of the Chu State was stunned, the west and south gates were no longer guaranteed, could this city still be defended?

If the east and north gates are all blocked at this time, I am afraid that what is blocking is not the route of the Qin army's attack, but the opportunity to escape from the ascension to heaven and survive.

I couldn't help it, and a cold sweat came out of my back.

Immediately, the words of the chief general of the Chu army changed, but he continued: "Order the east and north gates to strengthen the defense, and all the personnel and houses within 30 zhang are emptied." ”

"Yes." The herald beside him immediately agreed when he heard the order.

Obviously, with the bad news coming from the west and south gates, the chief general of the Chu army actually had a feeling of escaping in his heart, and what he lacked was just a reason and an opportunity.

Soon, however, the opportunity came.

Wait for the enemy to see the dagger before he reacts, and he is bound to be at an absolute disadvantage.

This is the case with the current Chu army, even if its main general has mobilized all the troops that can be mobilized, but the Qin army soldiers who have already occupied the entrance of the city gate only need to defend.

It's a lot easier than fighting on both sides.

After all, this is not a broad front, the Chu army's strength advantage can not be reflected at all for a while, in the narrow terrain, in a short time, what is fought is the combat quality of individual soldiers and the tacit understanding of the combat group.

Obviously, the quality of the Qin army's individual soldiers and the tacit cooperation between each other are more than a step above the Chu army.

In a short period of time, it was almost impossible for the Chu army to recapture the city gate.

Unless, a miracle happens.

It's a pity that there are no miracles in this world. In other words, the so-called miracle is just premeditated. It is nothing more than that those who are more scheming win, and those who are less calculating lose.

The Qin army is like this, and so is the Chu army.

Just when the commander of the cavalry of the Qin army raised the speed of the horse to the highest, a cold reflection shot directly into the eyes of the commander from the gate of Zengcheng, which was already not far away.

Looking closely, the closed city gate seemed to be slowly opening its arms to welcome the arrival of the Qin army.

The cavalry commander of the Qin army almost couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes hard, only to see clearly that the city gate was really slowly pushing open, and in the city gate that was pushed open, it was the crowd dressed in the Qin army's armor that was faintly visible.

Suddenly, the cavalry commander of the Qin army recalled in his mind the explanation given to him by the general Wang Yi before leaving: "You just charge and leave the rest to me." ”

It was only at this time that the cavalry commander of the Qin army understood what General Wang Yi meant!

Looking at the city gate that was gradually opening, there was no longer any need for the commander's orders, and all the Qin cavalry involuntarily continued to accelerate!

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing the Qin army galloping towards him, the only way the Lord of the Chu Army could think of to stop it was the rain of arrows.

With the order of the commander-in-chief, the reaction of the Chu army was not unfast, and the intensive surveillance immediately smashed into the queue of the Qin army's cavalry like a pouring rain.

It should be said that the lethality of this rain of arrows is still considerable. After all, from top to bottom, coupled with the rapid shuttle of the Qin cavalry, the relative speed of the two can reach a terrifying value.

At such a relative speed, not to mention a sharp arrow, even a small pebble can still take people's lives.

It's just that the Qin army has no intention of dodging such a rain of arrows at all.

Straight, the cavalry of the Qin army quickly passed through this rain of arrows, although there were hundreds of Qin troops who fell, but this did not affect the speed of the Dao Qin army to kill Zeng Cheng.

Looking at the cavalry of the Qin army, which was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and listening to the rear that was still fighting, the main general of the Chu army had to admit one thing: he had been defeated.

Although he really wanted to be a fellow practitioner in the city, his innate fear of death made him waver in his resolve at the last moment.

"It is time to retreat." The lord general of the state of Chu came to this conclusion with difficulty in his heart.

At the same time, the lord of Chu, who realized that the city could no longer be defended, would seem to be more than ten years old in an instant.

With just one charge, he was seized by the Qin State, and he was destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Chu State.

However, the main general of the Chu army who can be pushed to the front line of the anti-Qin still has two brushes. Between face and life, he still chose the latter without hesitation.

He knew very well in his heart that since he had decided to retreat, he could no longer hesitate.

Immediately, the chief general of the Chu army led his personal guards to bypass the west and south gates, which had fallen into the hands of the Qin army, and fled through the north gate.

Yes, the direction of the retreat was not announced, the sequence of the retreat was not specified, and even more so the order for the retreat.

The main general of the Chu army almost just fled to the north alone with his own soldiers, just as the Qin army was about to break in.

Obviously, the intention of the chief general of the Chu army is to make tens of thousands of Chu troops in the city his palace.

The act of abandoning the army and escaping alone in this way is certainly despicable, but from the perspective of its own safety, it is also the safest way, but its price is the annihilation of the 30,000 Chu troops in the city.

And the chief general of the Chu army obviously underestimated the desire to survive of the soldiers of the Chu army.

As soon as he left, it was like a boulder falling into the calm surface of the lake, and huge ripples spread out in an instant.

First of all, the soldiers on the tower of the city quickly realized that something was wrong, and saw the general heading towards the invincible north gate, and the intention of fleeing was obvious, where did the soldiers still have the courage to defend it, so they immediately abandoned their soldiers and fled with their general.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers and men who were busy carrying the rolling wood and stones;

Then, there were the reserve troops besieging the Qin army's sharp soldiers under the city tower;

Eventually, a small number of soldiers and officials in the city who were still collecting bamboo slips and maintaining order were joined in, along with the common people.

The entire Zeng Cheng instantly fell into the prelude to escape.

At the moment when Zeng Cheng fell into chaos, the cavalry of the Qin army finally rushed into the west and south gates.

Rushing out of the city gate hole that had been cleared, they were greeted by only the Chu army that had fled in all directions except for the bright sunshine.

"Chase!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the cavalry commander of the Qin army immediately gave the order to pursue.

In a short period of time, even the main general of the Chu army who fled first and the Chu army at the north gate failed to run far, let alone the Chu army that reacted later.

Fortunately, the people who swarmed out of the city slightly hindered the pursuit of the Qin army.

Obviously, Qin Jun didn't have the idea of directing traffic, since the road was blocked, then use the long sword to open up one. Immediately, a massacre instantly kicked off in Zengcheng.

Countless people of Chu fell under the long sword of the Qin army, and the cries of bitter weeping, wailing, and children's cries filled the entire Zeng City almost instantly.

It's just that these can't stop the Qin army's desire for battle merits.

The sword was swung and the sky was bleeding.

Soon, under the long sword of the Qin army, a straight passage paved with corpses was cleared.

Along the blood-paved road, the Qin cavalry continued to pounce viciously on the Chu army, which was still on the run. The foot soldiers of the Chu army who were walking in the rear were quickly bitten by the Qin army......

At the same time, the infantry of the Qin State finally entered the city of Zeng and soon climbed the city walls.

With the Chu character banner at the head of the city being taken down and the dark flag of the Qin State planted, the offensive and defensive battle of this important border town finally came to an end.

Soon, Wang Yi also rode a fast horse to the city.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Wang Yi did not stir up the slightest ripple in his heart - he had already seen too many things that would succeed in ten thousand bones.

Ascending to the north gate, Wang Yi immediately looked at the cavalry queue that was still in pursuit, and his brows immediately furrowed slightly.

"Herald." A cold voice sounded, and Wang Yi raised the horsewhip in his hand and ordered: "All the Qin troops stop the pursuit, retreat to Zengcheng, and let the Chu army leave." ”

"General, this?" A general on the side looked at Wang Yi with some puzzlement.

Although the Chu army was defeated, in fact, almost all of them were fleeing, and the Qin army's capture was not much. According to the usual practice, the Qin army should continue to pursue and destroy this Chu army as much as possible.

After all, if this Chu army arrives in the next city, it will undoubtedly strengthen the city defense, and I am afraid it will also be a troublesome matter.

"Let them go!" Wang Yi smiled and looked at the embarrassed Chu army in the distance and said: "Let them pass on the news of the arrival of our army, and publicize the deeds of how our army broke through Zengcheng in a battle, and I want all the Chu troops to tremble unconsciously when they see the military flag of my Great Qin from now on." ”

"Yes." Hearing the order, the general said no more, and immediately clenched his fists and promised.
