Chapter 445 Bai Qi shook his head after seeing this, Your Majesty, please take care of him!
"Work harder! Run another twenty miles and our army will reach Shouchun City!"
"Shangzhu State has sent military reports, asking Qu Zuoyin's troops to go to Shouchun City!" Chuncheng builds a position, as long as we escape to Shouchun, we can survive!"
"As long as we can't escape, we will run to death! As long as we escape to Shouchun City..."
Hua During the Battle of Yang, Bai Qi led his elite infantry to complete a rapid sprint of 800 miles in eight days at a speed of hundreds of miles a day. He defeated the Zhao and Wei coalition forces, beheaded 150,000 people, and killed 20,000 prisoners. His name will go down in history.
But in this battle, the Chu army completed a rapid march of nearly 800 miles in only six days under the pressure of Ying Chengyu!
Even if from time to time some Chu troops would run to death, the remaining Chu troops would continue to run without stopping.
This is not only because the Qin army is pursuing them relentlessly, but also because all Chu soldiers have a belief in their hearts.
As long as they escape back to Shouchun City, they can survive!
But when they actually arrived at Shouchun City, what greeted them was not a tent set up, hot soup and rice, or friendly troops fighting bravely.
But a battlefield littered with corpses!
Looking at the Qin troops scattered around Shouchun City, looking at the flags floating at the top of Shouchun City, and looking at the friendly troops rushing to break through, all the Chu troops were stunned.
“What on earth is going on!”
“Shouchun City has fallen?”
“Then can we still survive!”
< br>
"So-and-so doesn't want to die! Woohoo~so-and-so wants to go home!"
The belief that has always supported them no longer exists!
Many soldiers came here just because of their strength. When they saw the flag of Qin flying at the top of Shouchun City, they could no longer hold on and fell to the ground as soon as they closed their eyes.
No one knows whether they are unconscious or dead.
No one cares whether they can stand up again.
The vision of most of the soldiers had lost their sensitivity, and only a few generals could still notice the friendly troops galloping towards them.
"Shangzhu Kingdom!" Zuo Yin Quhuan couldn't wait to ride his horse and rush to the front of the army. Holding the tiger talisman high in his hand to break through the obstruction of Xiang Yan's troops, he shouted with tears in his eyes: "Your troops are finally here. Here we come!"
Looking at Qu Huan, whose robes were stained with blood and shot by two arrows, Xiang Yan's voice was extremely bitter: "Shouchun City has also fallen!"
Qu Huan lowered his voice. He lowered his head, tightened his grip on the reins, and said with self-blame: "This general is incompetent!"
"Qin's General Jian first deceived the main force of our army by luring the enemy away, and then killed him regardless of the cost. Attack Shouchun City"
"Last night, the Qin army captured the Shouchun city wall."
"Our main force quickly returned for reinforcements and fought fiercely in the city, but in the end we could not resist."
"This general had to lead the way. The remaining soldiers retreated from Shouchun City."
Qu Huan looked at Xiang Yan with burning eyes: "Fortunately, Shangzhu Kingdom arrived in time."
"The Qin army has just captured Shouchun and has not yet attacked. Shouchun City is undergoing repairs, and the Qin army is exhausted. "
"As long as you and I join forces to cover up the attack, we will definitely be able to..."
Qu Huan's words should have become louder.
But as he spoke, Qu Huan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.
Only because he finally noticed Xiang Yan’s dusty body.
I noticed the tired, desperate, and hopeless looks of Xiang Yan's soldiers, who had no will to survive.
He even noticed the Chu soldier who died suddenly and fell down.
This doesn’t look like reinforcements at all!
Qu Huan felt uneasy in his heart.
Swallowing with difficulty, Qu Huan asked carefully: "Shangzhu Kingdom, aren't your troops here to help our troops?"
Xiang Yan's voice was also extremely bitter: "Our army was also defeated!"
Just five words struck Qu Huan's heart like a heavy hammer.
When Wang Jian stormed Shouchun City, Qu Huan was extremely looking forward to the arrival of Xiang Yan's troops.
But when Xiang Yan's troops really arrived, Qu Huan discovered that this was not a victorious rendezvous, nor a timely reinforcement, but just two defeated soldiers holding together to keep warm!
The anticipation and excitement in Qu Huan's eyes faded.
Jingchou cried out in despair: "Our army only has a few thousand soldiers of the clan left, and there is not much food, grass and baggage left. Lord Chang'an of Qin's army is fifty miles behind."
"Our army came to Shouchun City to find reinforcements!"
"Your army was defeated somehow!"
Qu Huan's eyes turned to fear.
This is not two defeated soldiers hugging each other to keep warm.
Co-author Xiang Yan’s troops not only failed to bring them reinforcements, but actually brought them pursuers!
Qu Huan asked anxiously: "What should our army do in Shangzhu Kingdom?"
"Our army only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left!"
Ying Chengyu's troops in the rear are located The chase continued, not far away was Wang Jian's subordinate.
The two Qin armies combined had at least more than 300,000 powerful soldiers, but the Chu army only had less than 20,000 remnant soldiers.
What else can be done?
When the battle reaches this level, asking Bai Qi to take charge may not be useful. Only Liu Xiu can make a comeback!
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Xiang Yan said bitterly: "Throw away your helmet and armor! Keep running!"
Jingchou said sadly: "I'm afraid our soldiers and horses have fled. It's not moving anymore."
Xiang Yan's troops have been running for six days. Their physical strength has already reached the limit, and they can't run faster.
Compared to Ying Chengyu's troops, their speed is indeed faster.
But if Wang Jian sends out his fresh troops to chase them, they won't be able to escape at all!
And the fall of Shouchun City was a huge psychological blow to Xiang Yan's soldiers.
Without the support of Xing Qi'er, these soldiers may have lost the motivation to continue running.
Xiang Yan said calmly: "You can run as long as you can." "If they can't escape, we will allow them to surrender."
"When the king blames me, I will bear all the blame!"
All the generals looked at Xiang Yan in shock.
Ordinary soldiers have either been killed long ago or have sneaked away.
The people who have been able to follow them until now are the relatives of the nine clans of each general.
Xiang Yan’s order gave the children of all ethnic groups a way out at the cost of heavier guilt on his own shoulders!
Jingchou immediately raised his hands and said: "Thank you, Shangzhu Kingdom!"
"We should all bear in mind the kindness of Shangzhu Kingdom!"
All the remaining generals also raised their hands: "Thank you, Shangzhu Kingdom!" Zhuguo! "
"The generals will definitely lobby the clan to speak kindly to Shangzhuguo!"
Xiang Yan smiled slightly and returned the favor: "Thank you all."< br>
"There is not enough time, please generals to send orders to all ministries immediately."
"Our army has no time to rest, so we will continue to advance eastward immediately!"
All the generals raised their hands in unison: "Wei!"
——
Throwing off the armor is often used to describe a tragic defeat.
But in fact, throwing away one's armor is as smart as a gecko's tail being cut off!
As Xiang Yan issued the order to remove his helmets and armor, a large amount of top-quality equipment exploded on the battlefield, dazzling the eyes of all the Qin troops.
"My big water! It's a fine armor!"
"Look at this sword! It's inlaid with gold!"
"Gold is nothing. , look at this armor, it is decorated with beautiful jade!”
Seeing the top-quality equipment all over the ground, Wang Jian's Qin army suddenly couldn't move.
Instead of expending great efforts and taking great risks to chase a group of enemy soldiers, why not bend down and pick up a piece of gold?
The rebel troops under Ying Cheng's command swarmed towards the armored weapons like greedy hounds.
If the military magistrate hadn't been behind them, these rebels would have fought without hesitation!
This is all money!
Looking from the messy battlefield to the running Chu army, Yang Duanhe had a smile on his face: "Just now, the general wanted to invite a partial army to reinforce Chang'an Jun's headquarters."
"But now it seems , Chang'an Lord won the victory earlier than our troops."
"Chang'an Lord, you are worthy of being Chang'an Lord!"
Wang Jian smiled happily: "It's true that I can win Chang'an Lord. Great Qin’s good fortune is also our good fortune.”
“Let’s go out of the city to meet you!”
Leading hundreds of soldiers, Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and other generals all left the city and headed to the west.
Soon, a large banner appeared in front of the generals.
Wang Jian sat on his horse, smiled and held up his hands: "I heard that Lord Chang'an won a great victory."
"I would like to congratulate Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Cheng Yuce When Ma Xing came to Wang Jian, he returned the salute with a smile and said: "General Wang defeated Qu Huan's troops and captured Shouchun, the old capital of Chu. The remnants of the Chu army had no way to enter the city, so they had to continue to flee in panic."
"I would also like to congratulate you, General Wang!"
The generals on both sides laughed heartily.
The two troops achieved decisive victories on two battlefields at the same time and severely damaged the Chu army. This made the generals on both sides maintain extremely high enthusiasm and confidence in this battle.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Jian said directly: "There are about 13,000 remaining soldiers of Yinhuan of Chu Zuo."
"There are about 13,000 remaining soldiers of Chu Shangzhu's army. More than four thousand.”
"Just now, these two troops have completed the joining of forces, and they have discarded their armor, abandoned their tired troops and continued to flee."
"The general only sent the troops that just attacked the city to continue the pursuit, and did not send fresh troops to pursue. Kill."
Ying Chengyu understood Wang Jian's plan after thinking about it: "Admiral Wang, are you going to take advantage of the situation to pursue?"
Since Wang Jian deliberately did not use fresh troops, he obviously did not intend to pursue him. The Chu army is preparing to drive away the Chu army!
Wang Jian nodded and said: "The food and grass in our Da Qin Dynasty is still enough to support our army for several more months of fighting."
"And the food stored in Shouchun City is enough to support our army's campaign for more than a month."
"Such a good opportunity to attack Chu, I thought I couldn't miss it!"
Ying Chengyu agreed without hesitation. : "This is also what I want!"
"Previously, the King of Chu sent troops to attack Qin, and I broke through Shouchun City to report."
"This time, the King of Chu is carrying Chu. If we send troops to attack Qin again, I will break through Helu City again and make Chu pay the price with blood!”
When Ying Chengyu fought against Xiang Yan alone, he was still a little nervous and unsure of himself, so Ying Chengyu would subconsciously look for all available methods.
But two consecutive victories gave Ying Chengxuan confidence, and Wang Jian's arrival dispelled the last trace of worry in Ying Chengxuan's heart.
Come! Fight!
Whoever is a coward is a dog!
Wang Jian was confused: "Mr. Chang'an, this battle for our country, Qin, is definitely not to destroy the country or destroy the capital."
"Your Majesty just ordered us to fight back the Chu army, and try to collect some food and grass to reduce the domestic pressure."
"And now the Zhao State is still at war with our army, and the pressure from General Ju's troops is not Not small.”
“The general intends to capture everything north of the Yangtze River, and has no intention of spying on Helv City!”
Wang Jian originally thought that Ying Chengyu was planning to conquer Chu just like him! The grain-producing areas of Chu State were used to take away the grain reserves of Chu State and relieve the domestic grain and grass pressure.
In the end, Ying Chengyu went to the capital of Chu?
There was no such plan before the war!
Your Majesty, please take care of him!
