Chapter 164: Chen Cheng, Surrender

After cultivating the Qi Alchemy Technique, Zhang Han's ability has also been greatly improved.

For example, his eyesight is better than before, even in the dark, he can see things, and he can see the flagpole of the Chu army flag that is not too thick.

Zhang Han imitated Bai Zhong's nine-stone bow and created a strong bow of more than seven stones for himself, and with his current strength, he pulled the bow effortlessly, and broke the flag of the Chu army with one arrow.

"The general has an order, kill all the Chu army!"

"Tian Zhen and Luo Qing, you attack from the left and right, and the others will kill directly with me."

Zhang Han shouted.

"Yui!"

Tian Zhen and the others also followed Zhang Han.

The next moment, more than 10,000 Qin troops slaughtered Xiang Yan's Chu army.

Xiang Yan has more than 50,000 people, but when he crossed the river just now, he arranged for more than 20,000 people to walk on the pontoon bridge, and all of them could not come back.

However, the soldiers of the Chu army felt that since the Qin army would set up an ambush here, there must be a lot of them, and before the fight started, they had no fighting spirit, but they had to fight the Qin army hard.

"Don't fall in love, break out with me."

Xiang Yan said loudly.

Since the Qin army will intercept them here, then they will definitely cross the river to chase them, not to mention that the number of Qin troops in front of them is unknown, not to mention that there are more than them, even if the number is the same, or even a few thousand, with the ferocity of the Qin army, the entire Chu army can be annihilated.

At present, it is mainly about escaping, not a life-and-death fight.

Xiang Liang also understood this, and first led the troops to prepare to fight a gap, and the father and son constantly commanded to break through and flee to the south.

Riverbank.

"Sailors can be attached to the pontoon."

Bai Zhong saw that the enemy was all retreating, and understood that Zhang Han's side would soon fight.

The sailors in the water, although the rope of the pontoon bridge was cut, but the Fenshui was not turbulent, they still controlled the pontoon, did not drift away with the current, at this time they got the order, quickly swam over and dragged the pontoon up, hundreds of sailors, almost exhausted, and then reconnected the pontoon bridge with ropes.

"Meng Tian, Wang Li, you go and help Zhang Han!"

Bai Zhong said again.

The two of them led their troops through the pontoon bridge and chased in the direction where the Chu army had fled.

Bai Zhong did not cross the river to command, only stayed on the shore and waited for news.

Meng Tian and the others quickly caught up with the deserters of the Chu army, at this time the battle was about to end, they were a step late, part of the Chu army had already broken through with Xiang Yan, in terms of leading the army, Zhang Han's ability was still much worse than Xiang Yan's.

The remaining Chu soldiers who couldn't escape were of course all killed.

"Brother Zhang, how is it?"

Wang Li asked.

Zhang Han sighed: "I only seriously injured one Chu general, but I couldn't kill it, let the Chu army rescue him, and finally escaped." ”

Through the light of the torches, he looked at the corpses on the ground, and said: "The enemy is less than 10,000, and the ability of that Chu general is stronger than mine, even if the morale of the Chu army is completely lost, he can still be saved, my experience is still too poor." ”

Meng Tian smiled and said: "That's the Chu general Xiang Yan, when he led the army to fight, we didn't know where it was, and it was normal to be inferior to Xiang Yan." ”

Zhang Han felt that it made sense, and asked again: "Should you continue to chase?" ”

"If the general is here, he has the ability to chase, we don't."

Meng Tian looked at the darkness in the south and continued: "I can't see my five fingers in front of me, if Xiang Yan arranges an ambush for the people after the break, we may be wiped out, I propose to go back to see the general." ”

Wang Li nodded and said, "That's right! ”

"Let's go back then!"

Zhang Han agreed with their suggestion.

At this point, Huaiyang basically fell into the hands of the Qin army, the goal has been achieved, and it no longer matters how Xiang Yan and the others escape.

In order to destroy Wei and clear the danger from the side and rear, they also did it.

——

Xiang Yan led the Chu army to kill with many years of military experience, and in the end only sacrificed more than 8,000 soldiers after the break.

"Doctor, come up!"

At this time, he shouted loudly.

The Chu general who was seriously injured by Zhang Han was Xiang Liang.

After making sure that there were no pursuers from the Qin army behind, Xiang Yan asked the soldiers to stop and rest, and then saw Xiang Yan's body, the wound was bleeding continuously, and his heart was in turmoil.

When the medical staff in the army heard the shouting, they hurriedly ran up to bandage and treat them, and they also used the best medicine for the wounds.

But the medical level in this era is limited, and the doctors can only do their best, whether Xiang Liang can survive again depends on his physical fitness and luck.

"Except for a little pain in the wound, I'm fine!"

Xiang Liang was still awake, and when the doctor helped him bandage it, he didn't know how to describe the sourness, panting and saying: "That Qin General's knife is too sharp, one knife breaks the armor, I'm worried about the future ...... of our Chu State."

According to the Qin army's combat strength, such strong equipment, and Bai Zhong, who commanded the battle, their Chu army was completely incomparable.

Xiang Yan was silent for a while, and said, "If you have a chance, go back now, and you can rest well." ”

The army rested for half an hour, and then continued its journey south.

However, at this time, Xiang Yan was very self-blaming, in fact, he was not so badly defeated, and he could even hold Huaiyang, all because of his wrong transfer.

"Just a little bit!"

He's a pity.

At this point, no amount of self-blame is futile.

The Qin army took Huaiyang, whether it would go further next, none of them knew if it would go further, so they could only go back and try their best to defend.

——

"General, we're back."

Zhang Han returned to the vicinity of Chen Cheng and arched his hand: "I can't do anything, I still let General Chu escape, and kill less than 10,000 enemies, which is worthy of the general's expectations." ”

"It's okay!"

Bai Zhong waved his hand and said, "It's enough to take Huaiyang, you guys go down and rest first." ”

After saying that, he went back to the tent and wrote two more letters, which he sent to the north quickly, one for Yingzheng and one for Wang Ben.

As for Yang Duan and that side, the distance is too far to be sent.

The news of Shangcai's loss was almost sent to Handan at this time, and Yang Duanhe would judge the timing and know when to act.

The next morning.

The battlefield was cleaned up.

Bai Zhong led the people and stood in front of the city gate, waiting for Xiong Qi to come out.

"General, Changping-jun has been in for a few days, and there has been no movement at all, it can't be that he betrayed us, right?"

Wang Li looked at the city gate and said worriedly: "You must know that Changping Jun has the blood of the Chu people. ”

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "But the king's relatives are all in Xianyang, will he rebel?" ”

This reason seems reasonable.

Bai Zhong said: "You have to believe in the king. ”

At least Xiong Qi won't mess around now.

They waited for another half an hour, and the gate of Chen Cheng was finally opened.

Xiong Qi led Zhou Hong and the others out of the city, and said loudly: "General Bai, I did it." ”

"Zhou Hong, willing to surrender!"

Zhou Hong said loudly.

The soldiers on the tower of the city all dropped their weapons and went out of the city to surrender.

How was the battle last night, they knew very well that after Xiang Yan was defeated and retreated, Chen Cheng could no longer hold on, and surrender was the best choice, not to mention that Changping Jun was pushing in it.
