Chapter 221: The Final Breakout

Xiang Yan, father and son, met on the northeast side of the sleeping hill.

followed by Zhao Yue, as well as Changping Jun Xiong Qi.

"I've seen you!"

Xiang Yan first bowed in front of Xiong Qi.

Xiong Qi returned the salute and said, "Shangzhuguo is polite." ”

Xiang Yan said again: "Without the assistance of the king, we would not have won so easily, the king's fire burning Qin camp is very good!" ”

Listening to his appreciation, Xiong Qi just smiled and asked, "Li Xin and Meng Tian have escaped, should they be chased to the end next, or let them go back?" ”

"Naturally, it is to chase and kill to the end!"

For the invading Qin army, Xiang Yan did not plan to let them go back, and continued: "The last place they can go to is there and only Bedhill, I have already asked people to find out clearly, Li Xin left 10,000 people in Sleephill, and some food, as the last way to retreat, through Sleephill, you can quickly return to Nanjun through the south of Huaiyang, Li Xin's arrangement is still good." ”

Li Xin's plan was good, but he couldn't hide Xiang Yan's scouts and spies in the Chu State.

Zhao Yue smiled: "It's a pity that he met Shangzhu Kingdom. ”

"Xiang Rong, you go to the east side of the sleeping hill to standby, and Xiang Liang goes to the west."

Xiang Yan continued: "You wait for my order, and finally besiege the sleeping hill. ”

"Yui!"

The Xiang Rong brothers said in unison.

"May I ask Shangzhuguo, what do you think of Bai Zhong?"

Xiong Qi suddenly asked this question.

Xiang Yan instantly fell into contemplation, and after a while, he said: "This person has great courage, his ability to use troops is not bad, and his strength is very strong, near the Xiangjiang River, he can break through the encirclement of 6,000 people with 500 people, and he can kill half of our people." ”

This record, Xiang Yan can't have it, and he can't kill it.

There is a huge Chu country, and no one can do this.

Xiong Qi continued to ask: "If you lose this time, the commander of the next battle is Bai Zhong, is Shangzhu Guo capable of resisting this person again?" ”

Xiang Yan: "......"

He didn't dare to guarantee that he would definitely be able to defeat Bai Zhong, so he said for a long time: "It depends on the situation!" ”

Xiong Qi got the answer, stopped asking, and should be ready to return to the Chu State.

——

Inside the castle.

At this point, it was night again.

Meng Tian's subordinates got food and a place to rest, and finally settled down.

Li Xin stood on the city tower and constantly inspected the city tower, worried that there would suddenly be a group of Chu troops besieging the city outside the city, but there was a city tower stationed in the dormitory, even if the Chu army really besieged the city, it could be held for a while.

The only trouble is probably the grain and grass.

Meng Tian's grain and grass were all gone, and he couldn't bring much.

In the city, there is only enough food for them to eat for about seven days, and the situation is not optimistic.

"I think we should leave the dormitory and go to Huaiyang to return to Nanjun."

Meng Tian also went to the city tower and analyzed: "Xiang Yan did this to force us to the south with a trick, he must have found out everything about us, including Bedhill, just tomorrow, Xiang Yan's army will definitely rush to Bedhill, if he is attacking the city, the people in the city suddenly rise up and resist, we can only wait for death." ”

Although it was occupied by the Qin army, it was also the city of the Chu State.

The people of Bedhill naturally help the Chu State.

If Xiang Yan arranged a few people in the city, instigated the people to rebel, and then provoked the hatred of Qin and Chu, then the Qin army would be attacked inside and outside and fall into a desperate situation.

Li Xin was shocked, his thoughts were still too simple, and he hurriedly said: "Early tomorrow morning, we will leave the dormitory and go back to Nanjun as soon as possible." ”

This city can't be defended any longer!

"My ability is far inferior to Brother Meng."

He sighed again.

Meng Tian sighed: "Brother Li is polite, the most important thing for us now is how to go back to the Qin Kingdom, these polite words, let's talk about it later." ”

Tonight, it's quiet inside and outside the mound.

Early the next morning, Meng Tian ordered to plunder the grain of the people of Chu in the city of Bedqiu, and Li Xin commanded the army, took all the grain and grass, left the city, and went back to Huaiyang after identifying the direction.

They can be sure that Huaiyang has followed Xiong Qi to rebel, but there are not many defenders left, and it is completely possible to kill them from the south of Huaiyang.

It's just that as soon as the Qin army walked out of more than ten miles, they met Xiang Liang's Chu army who came to the west of the sleeper overnight to ambush them.

As soon as the two sides met, a fight broke out.

"How could the Qin army abandon the sleeping hill!"

Xiang Liang was shocked.

The plan to besiege Bedqiu is now about to fail, he can only lead the army first, stop the Qin army here, and then let people send a message to Xiang Yan, gather here as soon as possible, and intercept Li Xin and them.

After resting for a night, the Qin army, which had regained its fighting spirit, became fierce.

Even if they were defeated, they wanted to kill them alive, and they desperately rushed towards the Chu army.

In the face of absolute strength, no matter how Xiang Liang commanded, it was in vain, not to mention that Li Xin and Meng Tian were still in command at the same time in the Qin army, and the intercepted defense line was broken through after a while.

Just when the Qin army was about to escape, Xiang Yan's army finally arrived.

More than ten echelons of the Chu army, supplemented to Xiang Liang's side, as well as fifty chariots and five thousand cavalry, galloped forward, rushed straight to the Qin army, and collided with the Qin army that had been killed.

While commanding the soldiers, killing those war horses and destroying the chariots, Li Xin said: "General Meng, you lead the troops to leave first, and I will lead 10,000 people to cut off the rear for you." ”

"And what do you do?"

Meng Tian asked eagerly.

After only 10,000 people were broken, the number was far from enough.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Xin killed several close enemies and shouted: "Gather 10,000 Changge hands, after I break off, the rest will retreat with General Meng, you go quickly!" ”

Meng Tian was entangled in his heart for a while, and finally chose Li Xin's plan, before Xiang Yan completely intercepted and killed, he first led his troops to escape to the west, and then stayed, for fear that there would be other changes and more people would die.

The chariots and cavalry were still in pursuit, but they were suppressed by the crossbowmen.

The whole defeat was caused by Li Xin's inflated and self-confidence.

He wanted to make amends, and he couldn't let Meng Tian die here, he had to stay and cut off the queen himself, and shouted: "Thorn! ”

Chang Ge's hands quickly combined, watching the cavalry rush forward, raising Chang Ge and stabbing forward.

Herod!

The war horse screamed.

Hundreds of cavalry fell in this instant.

Fifty chariots, but also more than twenty were destroyed by the Qin army.

"Retreat!"

Li Xin ordered again.

As the broken rear, it is to fight while retreating, covering the main force that escaped.

The Qin army retreated, and Xiang Yan ordered to chase again, but they were all delayed by Li Xin's 10,000 people, desperately and desperately, and the Qin army brought their bravery to the extreme.

Fight more with less, and don't panic at all.

The confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense.

At the end of the battle, Li Xin took more than 4,000 people and struggled to escape, but fortunately there was a forest nearby, and after entering the woods, the cavalry lost its effect, and the infantry was not fast and it was difficult to keep up.

"Shangzhu country, I can't catch up."

Zhao Yue reluctantly went back and said.

Xiang Yan thought for a while: "General Zhao, you lead 20,000 troops to chase Li Xin, and the rest of the people follow me to chase Meng Tian." ”
