Chapter 577: The deputy general of the Chu army, Gongzi Xiong Qi
"The Qin army is defeated! Kill!!! ”
"The Qin army is defeated, chase!"
In the shouts of joy, on the battlefield, the army of Chu was mightily slaughtering towards the Qin army, the battlefield was full of gunsmoke, countless flags and Changge were distorted and inserted on the ground, at a glance, countless corpses stained the entire battlefield red, and those bloody blades were everywhere.
Like a sea of people, the Chu soldiers who continued to rush towards the Qin army one after another, one by one, their expressions were full of hideousness, on this day, they fought with the Qin army for a whole day, and the anger in their hearts completely broke out after the defeat of the Qin army, and the murderous intent soared.
"Those who get the head of the generals of the Qin army, resign, a reward of 100 gold, and those who capture the main general of the Qin army alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"
In the army of Chu, under the protection of a group of generals of the Chu army, Xiong Qi, the son of the prince in armor, gave an order with a proud face, looking at the battlefield in the distance, the Qin army that had been fighting for a day had been defeated, Xiong Qi's heart was full of excitement.
Now that he has become the prince of Chu, Xiong Qi is also eager to make meritorious contributions, establish a reputation for himself, and get the support of hundreds of officials of Chu and various scholars.
"No!"
"No!!"
When the young generals of the Chu State heard Gongzi Xiongqi's words, they glanced at each other, and then they also took their subordinates and killed the Qin army.
There are only some older generals of the Chu State, who have status and background, and have passed the age of longing for the head of the main general of the Qin army, so they have been riding war horses to protect the side of Gongzi Xiong Qi.
"Childe ......"
Gongsun Ji, the general of the Chu State, looked at the general of the Qin State in the distance, his face was a little worried, but he thought that he had said it a long time ago, but he was refuted by Xiong Qi, and finally Gongsun Ji still endured it.
The Chu general Gongsun Ji didn't understand why this Qin army would rashly cross the river and fight against the Chu army, and what was even more strange was that in this Qin army, Gongsun Ji did not see the shadow of the iron cavalry and the side cavalry.
Those were the two elite iron cavalry under the command of Qin general Bai Yan, who had always been brave and good at fighting.
Although Bai Yan was not in Qufu, the main general of this Qin army rashly led his troops across the river, and the side cavalry and iron cavalry did not help?
The more Gongsun Ji thought about it, the more worried he became.
looked at Gongsun Ji on the side, as well as Jing Yu, the son of the veteran Jing Fang, and the other Chu generals with smug faces, Gongsun Ji felt that he was thinking too much.
Maybe......
As Gongsun Ji and Jing Yu said, this Qin army should just want to test it, although there are no iron cavalry and side cavalry, but this Qin army is not like a new pawn, it should not be those pawns of Wei who surrendered to Qin.
If it was those rabble, they would definitely not be able to resist the army of Chu for so long, and let the army of Chu suffer so many casualties.
Moreover, this Qin army attacked and defended in an orderly manner, and the chief general of this Qin army must be an unauthorized general.
"Qin Jun is nothing more than that!"
Gongzi Xiong Qi's voice sounded again, and when the other Chu generals heard this, they looked at Xiong Qi and couldn't help but nod.
At the beginning, when it was learned that the Qin army had crossed the river, most of the Chu generals remembered General Xiang Yan's orders and believed that they should stick to it without fighting, and only Gongzi Xiong Qi and Jing Yu advocated sending troops.
The reason is that General Xiang Yan has already gone to Pingyu, not to mention that the Qin army does not know, even if it is too late to know, not to mention the news, Bai Yan is not in Qufu, he has already gone to escort Concubine Qi back to Qi State, although Da Liang failed to assassinate Concubine Qi, but it also happened to help them, Bai Yan will definitely pay attention to the safety of Concubine Qi after learning about Da Liang's assassination, as long as they can defeat this Qin army crossing the river, what can Bai Yan do?
Even if he learned that General Xiang Yan was not here in the Chu army camp, what could he do, just send the news to Bai Yan, and when Bai Yan saw the news and rushed back to Qufu, and then tried to attack, General Xiang Yan had already succeeded, and Bai Yan's attack at that time would only make Bai Yan fall into the trap.
"Jing Yu, after defeating this Qin army, there is news of a great victory from General Xiang Yan, this son will definitely cross the river and surround Bai Yan with Lord Jing Qi, and let you avenge the old general with your own hands at that time!"
Gongzi Xiong Qi saw that the Chu army had completely dispersed the Qin army's camp and the victory was decided, so he turned his head to look at Jing Yu and promised softly.
"Thank you Gongzi, Jing Yu represents the Jing family, thank you Gongzi for his great kindness!"
Jing Yu looked at Gongzi Xiong Qi excitedly.
Seeing this, the other generals of the Chu State couldn't help but glance at each other silently, they all knew that this was Xiong Qi pulling over the Jing family, and also taking the opportunity to promote the Jing family's Jingyu lineage, after the death of the old general Jing Fang, in the Jingyu lineage, he completely lost his pillar, although there was a fief, but in terms of court and military power, it was not as good as before, this is also for Jingyu's vein to use his connections so frantically, so that the king of Chu sent troops.
The brothers of Jingyu's lineage all need to make meritorious contributions as soon as possible before the influence of their connections fades, enter the court of Chu State, and recover from the death of the old general as soon as possible.
They all know this, and Gongzi Xiong Qi also knows this.
Now the king of Chu is quite controversial, and the situation in Chu is not stable, which is why Xiong agreed to send troops to attack Qufu, and also sent his son Xiong Qi as a deputy general.
The state of Chu has maintained this habit for hundreds of years, and the best way for the king of Chu to succeed to the throne and want to stabilize is to send troops to attack other vassal states, and after winning the land, the big clans in Chu will be rewarded with official fiefs, and the king of Chu will get fame and the stability of the throne, and all existing problems will become harmonious in a win-win situation, and even any problem will no longer be a problem.
"Report !! Checkmate! Oh no, no!! In the direction of Xuecheng, the Qin army was found!! ”
"Report! General, in the direction of leaving Gu, found a trace of the Qin army! ”
Suddenly, one by one, the soldiers of the Chu State hurriedly rode to report it, and the generals of the Chu State who were still thinking about the victory and went back to celebrate were all stunned.
What?
There are Qin troops in the direction of Xue Cheng and Ligu?
How is this possible? Xue Cheng and Ligu obviously have defenders arranged, how could the Qin army kill them?
"Not good, Childe, withdraw your troops immediately!"
Gongsun Ji also looked surprised, and after coming back to his senses, he looked at the battlefield in the distance, and saw that all the armies of Chu were fighting with those Qin soldiers, and a frightened thought came to his mind.
This Qin army is a trap!
For them to ......
Together? Flood !!
Cold sweat kept appearing behind Gongsun Ji, so ruthless! That Bai Yan, is it really after Bai Qi?
Caring about it so much, Gongsun Ji turned his head to look at the unbelievable Gongzi Xiong Qi.
"Childe, go quickly, you must not let the Qin army encircle, you must retreat first to prevent the Qin army from attacking the city behind you!"
Gongsun Ji looked at Xiong Qi's unbelievable appearance, and urged again, now the army of Chu is still fighting, and in the face of the encirclement of the Qin army, their Chu army is already a tired army, and there is only one way to die at that time.
What worries Gongsun Ji even more is the direction of the flooded city, which is the only way for the Chu army to retreat, once the flooded city is lost, their Chu army, I am afraid that they will be surrounded by the Qin army.
"Please also ask Childe to give an order to withdraw troops immediately!!"
The other generals of the Chu State also came back to their senses and urged one after another.
Gongzi Xiong Qi glanced around, sighed, and then looked at the battlefield in the distance, more still unwilling, obviously their Chu army has won a big victory, before sunset, they will be able to completely defeat the Qin army, when the time comes, the entire Chu country will know about his defeat of the Chu army, father, and General Xiang Yan, they will also praise themselves with a look of relief.
Damn it!
Just a little bit! He will be able to lead the army of Chu and make great achievements.
"Chuanwu ordered, the whole army retreated, and General Gongsun Ji was responsible for covering the retreat of the army!"
Gongzi Xiong Qi thought that the Qin army from Ligu and Xue Cheng had already arrived, and he was not a fool, after hesitating for a few breaths, no matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he could only give an order, and then turned his horse and retreated in the direction of the city.
In the eyes of Gongzi Xiong Qi, although the Qin army came from the direction of Xue Cheng and Ligu, there was no need to worry too much, they only needed to retreat to the city to garrison, even if the Qin army wanted to attack, it was not so easy.
What's more, there is also General Jing Zhi leading the army in Xicheng, and after getting the news, General Jing Zhi will definitely send troops to help.
When the time comes, after General Xiang Yan defeats the Qin army, the Qin army in Wei will definitely return to defend the Qin State immediately, and Bai Yan in Qufu and all the generals under his command will be isolated.
On the plains.
The soldiers of the Chu State with an excited face, holding Changge, kept stabbing at the Qin soldiers with a panicked face, looking at the more and more Chu soldiers and soldiers charging left and right around them, and the expressions of the Chu soldiers became more and more excited, especially when they saw the Qin soldiers becoming more and more flustered and frightened, their faces became more and more hideous.
Persimmon picks the soft pinch, in the face of the weak, the dominant side is often more and more unforgiving, whether it is the soldiers of the Chu State, or the soldiers of the Qin State, or Wei, Qi, Zhao, Yan, Han, it is all like this, nothing more than human nature.
"Ahh
The soldier of Chu State, whose face was covered with blood, watched the Chang Ge in his hand stab into Qin Zu's abdomen, pulled out his spear with a hideous face, and saw Qin Zu slowly fall to the ground, Chu Zu hurriedly picked up Chang Ge again and stabbed Qin Zu's face.
With Qin Pawn completely lifeless, lying motionless in a pool of blood, he gave up and immediately looked at the other Qin pawns.
However, at this time, suddenly the war drums behind him changed, from impassioned war drums to one drum after another.
The trained Chu soldiers knew almost as soon as they heard it that it was the sound of the drums of the retreating troops.
What's going on?
All the Chu soldiers who were holding weapons and were fighting with the Qin soldiers all stopped and turned their heads in astonishment, not only the Chu soldiers, but also the generals and overseers of the Chu army who were all puzzled and turned their heads to look in the direction of the army.
But as soon as I saw the phalanx in the main general position in the army of Chu, not only those generals had already turned their horses and left, but all the soldiers of the other phalanx also retreated in the direction of the camp, which made all the Chu soldiers dumbfounded.
Why retreat?
It was clear that they were now at the time of a great victory, and the Qin army was already on the verge of defeat.
"Removal !!"
Some of the generals of the Chu army who led the troops on horseback, most of them were the sons and daughters of various clans, and at this time, seeing that the elders of the family, or the general Shibo, had already retreated, they panicked, and hurriedly took their family cronies and turned around on horseback and left.
It's okay not to retreat, with the retreat of the Chu army, the Qin pawns who were originally defeated and constantly chased and killed, there were already some fierce people, covered in blood, and the blades in their hands killed a lot of Chu soldiers.
In a flash.
The Chu army, which was originally high on the battlefield, began to be cowardly in the face of the counterattack of the Qin soldiers, and after seeing that the army had retreated, the Chu soldiers who had no intention of fighting naturally did not want to stay and did not dare to stay any longer, and began to retreat one after another.
The situation changed dramatically in an instant, the war drums of the Qin army's attack sounded again, and all the generals of the Qin army who were fighting in the guerrilla had led their cronies and generals and the soldiers under their command to take the lead in killing the Chu army.
On the plain, the Chu soldiers who kept slashing and killing the Qin soldiers with the Chang Ge sharp sword, and in the blink of an eye, on the plain, one after another were chased by the Qin soldiers, slashing and killing on the ground with random knives, and those Qin soldiers who were killed timidly, now with the reversal of the situation, they are almost madly slashing and killing Chu soldiers like venting their anger.
Fang Cai's timidity turned into madness in an instant, and it seemed that he wanted to return the money to the Chu soldiers.
On the battlefield, even surrender is not an easy thing, especially after fighting for half a day, everyone has already killed the red eye and formed a mortal enemy, you must know that on the side of Qin Pawn, it is Wei Pawn who pulls people he knows to the battlefield, although the rout is easy, but they all have the same hatred of the enemy.
The people Chu pawns just killed were basically people from their hometowns they knew, and some of them were relatives, which made all the Qin pawns already red-eyed, as long as they saw Chu pawns, they would rush forward and hack them to death, regardless of the blood splashed on their bodies.
Even in the end, when they saw the arrows coming, many Qin soldiers were red-eyed, and regardless of it, they still slashed and killed one Chu pawn after another to vent their anger, until they were killed by the arrows, and then fell to the ground.
Flood city direction.
Some wounded Chu soldiers kept galloping on their war horses, looking behind them one by one with horror, and after a long time, when they saw the army of Chu, they reined in their horses.
"General, the Qin Army's iron cavalry has been killed!"
The generals of the Chu army led by them were originally responsible for guarding the camp, but when the Qin army came to kill them with iron horses, they couldn't hold it at all, so they could only leave the camp and hurriedly came to the Chu army.
After all, there are no less than 100,000 troops in the Chu State, and they will definitely be able to repel the Qin army's iron cavalry.
"What, the Qin army's iron cavalry has already attacked the big camp? How many people are there? ”
Gongzi Xiong Qi was riding on horseback, and when he saw the appearance of these generals coming from the big camp, he was already confused, but when he heard that the Qin army's iron cavalry had actually killed from the big camp, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the generals with a puzzled expression.
How is this possible? If the Qin army wanted to go around from other places and go to Daying, no matter which direction it came from, it had to pass through the city and Xiyi.
How could the Qin army have already killed the big camp now?
"Report to the general, the specific number is unknown, but there will never be less than 30,000 people!"
The general reported to Gongzi Xiong Qiyu.
As soon as these words came out, Gongzi Xiong Qi's face became pale in an instant, his eyes widened, and he looked in the direction of the camp in a panic, and the other generals of the Chu State around him also looked at each other with a frightened face at this time.
"Oh no, Childe, we're surrounded!"
"How's that okay?"
One by one, the generals of the Chu State looked at Gongzi Xiong Qi with panicked eyes, and those young scholars were even more unbearable, and the fear had already appeared on their faces, and they could see it clearly.
However, at this time, without waiting for Gongzi Xiong Qi to speak, everyone vaguely saw that a dense Qin army in the direction of the city had emerged from the official roads of the hills and dense forests.
"Array! Array !! ”
This scene made all the generals of the Chu State order in a panic.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Chu State in a phalanx came to these Chu generals in a row, forming a defensive phalanx, the shields were erected, and the Changge was densely pointed at the sea of Qin soldiers who were transported out.
On the plains.
Whether it was still covering the retreat, or still retreating, and the army of Chu that was all on defense, after seeing the iron cavalry gushing out of the valley road in the distance, it was all over the entire southern plain, galloping in rows, looking at the iron cavalry army, countless black flags with Qin characters fluttering.
A desperate and frightened expression appeared in the hearts of every Chu soldier, almost filling the face of every Chu soldier.
Gongzi Xiong Qi rode on a war horse, looked at the dense Qin State Iron Horse in the distance, slowly stopped, and at a glance, the Qin State Iron Horse like a sea of people blocked the entire southern road, covering the southern plains, this son who had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, finally became scared at this time.
From beginning to end, Gongzi Xiong Qi didn't understand why Bai Yan was obviously not in Qufu, why all the Qin army crossed the river to attack the Chu army.
What made Gongzi Xiong Qi even more puzzled was how the Chu army of Yancheng and Xiyi would let the Qin army ride over.
