Chapter 368: The Death of the State of Chu

Zhao Tuo looked at the battlefield from afar and saw Meng Tian breaking through the strange soldiers of the Chu army, and Meng's banner went all the way south, straight into the waist of the central army of the Chu State.

At the same time, Zhao Guang also encouraged the soldiers to step forward bravely, and the two armies joined forces, and the central army of Chu was attacked and collapsed in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Won."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This time the battle is no longer a night attack and ambush, and it is no longer a trick to lure the enemy. Instead, on the battlefield, he fought with soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and the enemy generals fought each other with the skills of soldiers, which was a test for Zhao Tuo and a learning process.

For the first time commanding a large corps to conduct operations on the frontal battlefield, Zhao Tuo had to pay close attention to every change in the situation on the battlefield, make correct judgments between lightning and flint, and quickly issue orders, which required a very high quality of the commander.

Fortunately, Zhao Tuo climbed up step by step from a small soldier, from cutting Yan and Wei, and then to cutting Chu and Poqi, every battle was constantly honing his ability, allowing him to learn and improve little by little.

The so-called no accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas.

In battles from small to large battles, Zhao Tuo laid a very solid foundation, so this time in the duel with Xiang Yan, he quickly noticed the appearance of the fighter and gave the right order.

With the combat experience of this frontal battlefield, Zhao Tuo believes that if he faces people head-on next time, he will be more calm and calm.

"The Chu people have been defeated repeatedly, and their morale has long been low. This battle was completely relied on the spirit of one drum, once one army was frustrated, it would be a situation of collapse on the whole front, and it would be useless to let Xiang Yan have many soldiers. ”

Zhao Tuo whispered and pointed out an important factor in the victory of the Qin army in this battle: morale!

This is also one of the reasons why he dared to fight with Xiang Yan in the field, if the morale of the Chu army was high, Zhao Tuo would choose to stick to the camp and defend it, so that he would not come out to fight against the Chu people.

Lu Juan and Li Shang, who were standing beside him, immediately responded: "What the general said is very true, now that the three armies of Chu have collapsed, and the morale of our army is like a rainbow, the next step is to chase the dead and chase the north." ”

As the two said, at this moment, the battlefield was broken by the central army of the Chu State, and countless Chu soldiers shouted and fled in all directions, and the left and right armies of the Chu State were also affected, and an irrepressible collapse of the whole line began.

The first to be affected was the left army of Chu that returned to fight back after the defeat, this army undertook the mission of defeat, but because the morale was too low, half of the people ran directly when they were defeated.

The remaining soldiers reluctantly turned around under the restraint of the military officials, and entangled with the two thousand Qin troops who chased after them. The reason why he has persisted until now is precisely to wait for General Jingtong's surprise attack to break through the Qin army and win a big victory.

As a result, General Jingtong, who had been waiting for the left army, not only suffered a major defeat on the way, but was broken by the Qin army, and then received the news of the collapse of the central army of the Chu State.

In this case, how could the left army of the Chu State, whose morale had already fallen to a low point, still have the will to fight, and the soldiers immediately turned around and fled, exposing their backs to the excited Qin people, they had only one thought, that is, they hoped that the robe next to them could block the blades of the Qin army, so that they could escape with their lives.

At this time, as the central army of Chu was defeated by a pincer, the Qin general Zhao Guang also seized the fighter and ordered the black buttocks to assist Meng Tian to chase and kill the fleeing Chu middle army soldiers. On the other hand, he ordered Su Jiao, Xi Qigu and others to immediately lead their troops straight to the right army of Chu State.

The right army of Chu State faced Feng Wuxue, a veteran of Qin State, who was already inferior in the struggle and was in a state of barely supporting. Now seeing that their own Chinese army and left army have collapsed, and the central army of Qin has sent people to kill, the morale of this Chu army has also collapsed in an instant.

The crowd screamed.

"Defeated, our army is defeated, everyone run for their lives......"

They cried out, each throwing off his feet and fleeing for his life.

Feng Wuxuan seized the fighter plane and ordered the whole army to charge, chasing the dead and chasing the north.

The three armies of Chu were all defeated, and the overall situation was decided.

At this moment, even if Sun Wu is alive and Wu Qi is reborn, in the face of such a situation, he is powerless to return to the sky!

"Ling Yin, our army has been defeated, and this battle is my sin."

Jing Tong was escorted by short soldiers, and rushed back to Xiang Yan's side, his face was pale, and one hand was still trembling slightly.

The last time he failed to raid Meng Tian's grain team on Dongyang Road, he wanted to apologize for his guilt after the war.

But Jingju stopped him.

That self-inflicted failure made Jing Tong lose the courage to face death.

"The reason why the state of Chu has declined to the point where it is today is precisely because of the overthrow of the army and the killing of generals, resulting in no more generals in the state of Chu who are good at fighting. Therefore, Ling Yin faced Wang Qian's army, and there were no generals available, so he was defeated repeatedly. If I die, but I die in vain, it is righteous to leave a useful body. ”

Such thoughts often lingered in Jing Tong's mind, so when his surprise attack failed, he collided with Meng Tian's Qin army.

Seeing that the other party was as fast as a tiger and slaughtered him, Jing Tong's heart was timid.

"I can't die!"

Facing Meng Tian, Jing Tong fled.

At this moment, Jing Tong returned to the rear of the Chu army, and saw that because of his own reasons, the entire Chu army collapsed, countless soldiers fled for their lives, and the Qin army was about to be chased here, so he couldn't help but be ashamed and afraid.

He mourned and persuaded: "Ling Yin, this defeat has been decided. We might as well retreat south, Jing Ju and Cai Yuan still have 10,000 people in their hands, we can gather the rest of the army, and then rely on Jiangdong, Yuedi and the Qin people to contend with it! ”

Xiang Yan turned his head sideways and glanced at the same scene.

Instead of answering, he let out a long sigh.

"Although Zhao Tuo is young, he is brave and good at fighting. When I see the defeat of our army, I can see what I mean, and I can make judgments quickly, and this ability can be called a good general. ”

"Although this battle was defeated because I had no weak generals, Zhao Tuo's military skills should not be underestimated. He is still young now, and in time, he will not be weaker than Wang Qian, and even this son will be even more difficult to deal with than Wang Qian. With Zhao Tuo in Qin, even if we flee to Jiangdong, what can we do if we flee to Yuedi? Can we counterattack again? ”

"Could it be that the old man can consume Zhao Tuo?"

Xiang Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, her eyes full of tears.

He did not cry for his defeat, but for the future of the Chu State.

Xiang Yan once had the idea that if he was defeated, he would flee to Jiangdong and Yuedi to confront the Qin army and consume Wang Jian to death.

That's because he thinks that in the Qin army, except for Wang Qian, no one is his opponent, even Wang Ben, Meng Wu and others are worse than him. As long as he can exhaust Wang Qian's lifespan, he may be able to find a glimmer of life for the Chu State.

But now, with the appearance of Zhao Tuo and the display of terrifying military potential, Xiang Yan's idea has been completely shattered.

Even if Wang Jian died.

And Zhao Tuo.

Coupled with Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Feng Wuxue and other Qin generals, how could he Xiang Yan confront him with the weak Jiangdong and Yuedi?

Now, Jing Tong persuaded him to go south.

Xiang Yan was already disheartened.

Knock knock!

As the drums of the Qin army beat heavily, countless Chu army soldiers had already rushed to the rear of their homes.

The thousands of Chu soldiers guarding Xiang Yan could hardly contain the impact of these routs, and there were even many short soldiers who chose to flee with those routs.

In the distance, Qin people with bloodthirsty and excited faces were rushing.

"The Chu army is defeated!"

"Qin Jun Wansheng!"

"General Zhao wins!"

In the midst of that shout, Xiang Yan closed his eyes and lowered his hand weakly.

In addition to despair for the future, he also knew very well that what Jing Tong said about retreating south was not realistic at all, as long as he ran, Zhao Tuo and Feng Wuxue would definitely pursue all the way.

He, Xiang Yan, like Chu Wangqi, is a figure that the Qin army will kill, Xiang Yan and Chu Wangqi will not die, and the Qin army will never give up.

Xiang Yan fled south, and the only result was to continue to bring the main force of the Qin army to Jiangdong, so that the Qin people could completely destroy the remaining Chu forces in the land of Wuyue.

Xiang Yan is not dead, and Qin Jun is not stopped.

If he died, perhaps Wang Jian would only send an army south to clear Jingju and pursue Chu Wangqi and others, and would not personally lead a large army into Jiangdong.

Even so, it is better for him to stop the Qin army as soon as he dies, if Xiang Yan dies, or even if Chu Wangqi dies, the main force of the Qin army may be transferred back.

As long as the main force of the Qin army leaves, the bloodline of the Chu people will not be cut off in this vast land of Jing Chu.

Those Chu people who have the ambition to restore the country will always wait, waiting for the opportunity for them to restore the country in one fell swoop.

This is not an option.

If this generation can't do it, let's hope for future generations.

"After the Qin general Wang Qian, there is still Zhao Tuo."

"After my Xiang Yan, there are also people!"

Xiang Yan let out a long roar, and the appearance of a childish child appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a childish child younger than Zhao Tuo.

It was the expectation of his Xiang clan.

Xiang Yan led his troops to cross the Huai to the south, and when he passed by the prime minister, he had already arranged the Xiang family, and now he thinks it will be safe.

"Zitong, let's go. Leaving my body here should stop the main force of the Qin army and give you a chance to live. ”

Xiang Yan muttered: "I, Xiang Yan, my life is over." ”

"Don't let Yin do this, the state of Chu can't do without Yin!"

Jing Tong knelt on the ground and cried.

Xiang Yan smiled faintly, he pulled out his sword, and whispered a tragic song of national mourning in his mouth.

"With a long sword, the Qin bow is carried by the bow, and the first body is not punished. Cheng is both brave and martial, and he is strong and invincible. The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and the ghost is ......"

Xiang Yan raised his head again, and this time, he turned to the north, which was the direction of the lower prime minister.

"Nangong once said that although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!"

"The Chu people are never Qin slaves!"

In the roar like a lion, Xiang Yan no longer hesitated, and slashed his sword to his neck.

In an instant, the blood splashed.

Chu Ling Yin Xiangyan killed himself on the bank of Huaishui.
