"Wu'an Lord, withdraw." Sima Cuo looked at Bai Qi. Although the Qin army could still fight, it was meaningless. If they continued to fight, the casualties would only increase.
With the huge disparity in strength, they had no choice against the sound battalions and strong crossbowmen.
The killing speed of the two legions was almost equal to that of all other legions combined. A wave of arrows fell, ranging from hundreds to thousands of Qin troops fell.
Even if the Qin army is larger in number, it cannot sustain such a fight.
Now there are only two to three hundred Iron Eagle Ruins left. The Black Armored Army and the Feilian Army are no better than the Iron Eagle Ruiz. They both suffered heavy losses. If they continue to fight, the whole army will be annihilated.
There are only three military soul legions in the entire Qin State. Each one is unique and extremely valuable. Once the group is destroyed, it will be an irreparable loss for the Qin State.
"Does your Majesty have any new orders?" Bai Qi asked.
"The king said that the entire power of this battle will be given to Lord Wu An. If the battle is defeated, all the responsibility will be borne by me." Lu Buwei said, cupping his fists.
Bai Qi's heart warmed slightly. Although he knew that what Qin Wangji said was not sincere, it still moved him a little.
"Withdraw!" Bai Qi glanced at Zhao Kuo and Le Yi coldly, and ordered unwillingly.
when!
when!
when!
The crisp sound of gongs spread across the battlefield, and the Qin army heard Ming Jin's signal to withdraw their troops, and slowly retreated under Bai Qi's command.
Seeing that the Qin army began to retreat, Le Yi withdrew several legions that had fought for a long time and suffered serious losses to rest, and ordered other legions to continue the pursuit.
As for the imperial guards and Wei soldiers, although the two legions had followed Zhao Kuo in the battle from the beginning and had been fighting for several hours with many casualties, they did not retreat and still clung to the Qin army.
During the retreat, the Qin army's formation was constantly overwhelmed by the Zhao army. Bai Qi could only cruelly abandon these soldiers and command the remaining legions to retreat.
In order to allow more Qin troops to withdraw safely, Bai Qi and Sima Cuo stood at the end, one on the left and the other on the right, to hold down the formation for the Qin troops.
At this time, Sima Cuo was no longer what he looked like when he was young. He had turned into an old man with gray hair and a tired look on his face. Whether it was his personal strength or his command ability, it was incomparable to his previous peak state.
"Xia Yangjun." Pang Nuan appeared in front of Sima Cuo. Sima Cuo's condition in front of him was extremely bad. Even the speed of waving his spear had slowed down. Even without using all his strength, Pang Nuan was confident of defeating him.
Out of respect for Sima Cuo, Pang Nuan did not take action immediately.
"Are you..." Sima Cuo asked. He didn't know Pang Nuan.
"Xia Yangjun, are you willing to surrender to our Zhao country?" Pang Nuan asked directly without telling Sima Cuo who he was.
If Sima Cuo is willing to surrender, he will naturally know who he is. If Sima Cuo is unwilling to surrender, then there is no need to know who he is.
"Haha, are you here to humiliate me?" Sima Cuo sneered.
He had fought for the Qin State all his life, and he had never encountered an enemy who persuaded him to surrender. He did not expect that he would encounter him when he was old. It was really ridiculous.
He is not foolishly loyal to the Qin State, but he has his own persistence in his heart. If the Qin State fails him, he will have a clear conscience even if he switches to another country. But the Qin State has not done anything to forgive him. Even if he died in battle, how can he surrender to another country? .
"Then I'm sorry, junior." Pang Nuan lowered his head and clasped his fists in salute, clapped his horse and rushed towards Sima Cuo. At the same time, he thrust out his spear, and the red light almost completely blocked the sky in front of Sima Cuo.
Sima Cuo slowly raised his spear and met Pang Nuan's attack, bang, bang, bang! In the lightning flash, the two fought for several rounds. Pang Nuan's expression remained as usual. Sima Cuo was already out of breath, and even the last half of his armor was gone. Shot down by Pang Nuan.
After getting old, not only his strength and endurance have declined significantly, but he can't even keep up with his reactions. When he was young, he could easily dodge Pang Nuan's attacks, but when he saw Pang Nuan stabbing him just now, he had already reacted. In the end it was too late.
"Come again!" Sima Cuo looked at Pang Nuan calmly and said in a deep voice.
"General Sima, I'll stop him." Wang Jian rushed over from a distance and replaced Sima Cuo to meet Pang Nuan.
"What a young general, are you willing to submit to our Kingdom of Zhao?" Pang Nuan saw Wang Jian's handsome face and handsome appearance. His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked happily.
"Will the general persuade everyone to join the Zhao Kingdom when he sees them?" Wang Jian asked in a deep voice.
"No, I will only persuade you to surrender when you see someone with relatively good talent. I learned this from the king. There are very few talents in the world. It would be a pity to die one by one, especially for a young general like you. It is a pity to die so early. Yes." Pang Nuan said with a smile.
"It's not certain who will die." Wang Jian said coldly, and slashed at Pang Nuan with his knife.
"Little boy, don't be so grumpy." Pang Nuan blocked Wang Jian's attack, waved his left hand and ordered, "Brothers, follow me and charge."
Before, he had a duel with Sima Cuo, confident that he could defeat him. Now it was Wang Jian, and there was Sima Cuo next to him. With one against two, there was no need for Pang Nuan to have a duel.
At this time, the Zhao army is in the upper hand and the Qin army is retreating. It should be crushed by the general force.
Generally speaking, although the cavalry restrains the infantry, if the infantry is in good formation, it will be difficult for the cavalry to attack the infantry formation. But at this time, the Qin army is retreating, and even the most elite legions cannot maintain their formation. Mistakes.
Zhao Jun's cavalry followed Pang Nuan closely, and their galloping figures were like a mountain torrent that broke the embankment and rolled towards the Qin Army. The Qin Army's originally barely maintained formation exploded in an instant.
More than two hundred Iron Eagle warriors resisted desperately, but they could kill one or two people, but they were unable to deal with the torrent of tens of thousands of cavalry.
As the cavalry rolled past, half of the more than two hundred Iron Eagle warriors were killed again, leaving only a little over a hundred left, and everyone was injured.
"You..." Wang Jian's eyes turned black with anger, but Pang Nuan ignored him at all and led Zhao Jun to continue to charge forward.
Wang Jian casually killed two Zhao soldiers. Seeing more and more enemies around him, he had no choice but to lead Sima Cuo and retreat to the rear under the protection of his personal guards.
"Wang Jian!" Qiang You didn't expect that he would meet Wang Jian on the battlefield.
A few years ago, they were good friends. Others in the Qin State looked down on him as a Qiang-born general. Only Wang Lu was willing to discuss the art of war with him and taught him how to lead troops, making him stand out from the crowd.
Both publicly and privately, Qiang You was very grateful to Wang Jian, but fate played a trick on people, and when they met again, the two had become enemies.
"Qiang Yu, have you really surrendered to Zhao? Am I, the Qin State, sorry for you?" When Wang Jian saw Qiang Yu, he became furious and asked loudly.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do." Qiang Yu lowered his head and said.
"From now on, you and I are enemies. Next time I see you, I will never show mercy." Wang Jian said angrily. Instead of fighting Qiang Hu, he quickly found a way out and fled back.
On the other side, Zhao Feiqi defeated the Feilian Army and the Guanzhong Jingjia Army, but the two legions were very resilient. Although Zhao Feiqi suppressed them throughout the whole process, he was unable to destroy the two legions.
Fei Lianjun himself was from the Guanzhong Army, and there was no barrier between him and the Guanzhong Jingjia Army. The two sides cooperated very well. Under the leadership of Fei Lianjun, the Guanzhong Jingjia Army became even more powerful, making Zhao Feiqi invincible.
Bored.
"General, the Qin army has paid tribute." Du Sheng, deputy general of Zhao Feiqi, pointed to the rear of the Qin army and said.
"Let's go kill Bai Qi." Yan Ju finally decided to abandon Fei Lian's army and led Zhao Feiqi back to surround Bai Qi.
"Okay." Zhao Feiqi roared excitedly, fluttering his broad wings, Zhao Feiqi jumped up and charged towards Bai Qi.
With the King of Qin away, Fei Lian's army is no longer at its strongest, and Zhao Feiqi does not regard him as an opponent. If he can kill Bai Qilian and his Black Armored Army, Zhao Feiqi will not be able to refuse.
temptation.
"There are not many people left in the Black Armored Army now. Even if we wipe out their group, it seems we can only share part of the credit." Du Sheng said.
"Yes, we should go and kill the Black Armored Army or the Iron Eagle Warriors as soon as possible." Another deputy general, Li Qian, said.
"If the Black Armored Army were in full strength, would you dare to hit their shield?" Yan Ju glared at Li Qian.
There are not many legions in the world that can make Zhao Feiqi feel sick, and the Black Armored Army is one of them. It does not mean that they cannot be defeated. Unless the terrain is special, if the two legions meet, the one who wins in the end will definitely be Zhao Feiqi.
However, the defensive capabilities of the Black Armored Army were so disgusting that it was difficult for Zhao Feiqi to kill them.
"You dare to look at the Imperial Guards." Li Qian pointed at the Imperial Guards and said.
In the center of the battlefield, golden war clouds shrouded the Imperial Guards, which were a bit denser than the war clouds above Zhao Feiqi's head. All the soldiers were filled with strong murderous aura.
The horse's hooves were raised high, crushing the black-armored army's shield in an instant. With a little thrust of the spear, the tip of the spear penetrated the black-armored army's neck smoothly.
"As long as the king is here, the Imperial Guards are the strongest army in the world. Even I, Zhao Feiqi, have to admit this. Moreover, there are several extraordinary warriors around the king to help the Imperial Guards break the formation. Otherwise, the Imperial Guards will suffer heavy casualties.
Increased." Yan Ju said with emotion.
Normally, the strength of the imperial guards is mediocre, slightly inferior to that of Zhao Feiqi, but as long as they follow Zhao Kuo in battle, their combat effectiveness will instantly soar.
"Go to hell." Zhao Kuo killed a Qin soldier again. The blood all over his body was boiling, and he couldn't help but want to shout. Ben, Yan Xiong, Gai Nie and others guarded him on both sides.
The soldiers continued to retreat.
In this battle, Zhao Jun dispatched more than 20 extraordinary generals, far more than Qin.
In the past, the number of Qin's extraordinary generals was no less than that of Zhao, and even slightly exceeded it. However, in recent years, they either died in battle or surrendered to Zhao. The number of Qin's extraordinary generals has been widened by Zhao.
The top combat power of Zhao State is unique among all countries.
Because Bai Qi was at the rear, the Qin army was always defeated but not collapsed. Although some of the army had been overwhelmed by the Zhao army and began to kneel down and surrender, the whole army was still retreating in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, the end is coming!" At this time, Yan Ju's voice came from far away, and then, a terrifying sword light slashed towards Bai Qi from the sky.
"Go!" Zhao Kuo said loudly, quickly killed the Qin army in front of him, and attacked Bai Qi, followed closely by Wei Wuji, Zhu Hai and others.
"Poof!" Bai Qi suffered several blows one after another. He couldn't bear it anymore. His body flew upside down like a kite with its string broken, and a series of blood sprayed down from the sky.
"Bai Qi is dead! Surrender without killing!" Zhao Kuo didn't care whether Bai Qi was dead or not, he just shouted.
"Bai Qi is dead. Surrender without killing him!" Wei Wuji and others were stunned and quickly shouted.
Soon, the news of Bai Qi's death was heard on half of the battlefield.
The Qin army didn't know whether Bai Qi was dead or not, but many people saw Bai Qi vomiting blood and falling to the ground, and their morale plummeted.
In the absence of King Qin Ji, Bai Qi was the spiritual support of all the Qin troops. Now that Bai Qi has fallen, many Qin troops could no longer hold on and knelt down to surrender.
"Poof!" When Bai Qi heard the shouts of Zhao Jun around him, his face turned pale and he spit out another large mouthful of blood.
Originally, it was just an external injury that would not take long to recover. However, due to Zhao Kuo's anger, it completely turned into an internal injury.
"Help me get up." Bai Qi said to the bodyguard in a deep voice.
"Ah?" The guard was stunned for a moment, and quickly helped Bai Qi up. His heart was filled with turmoil. Bai Qi was in the extraordinary realm... no, he was even more powerful than the extraordinary general. He was so injured that he needed help to stand up.
rise.
After following Bai Qi for ten or twenty years, this was the first time he saw Bai Qi needing help.
"Push the chariot over." Bai Qi said.
"No." The guard quickly pushed the chariot not far away.
Bai Qi forced himself to step onto the chariot.
"General, let me help you." The guard looked at Bai Qi's swaying body and quickly reached out to support Bai Qi.
"No need." Bai Qi pushed the guards away with force. No one saw the guards helping him just now. Now the eyes of both the enemy and ourselves are focused here. He must let Zhao Jun and Qin Jun see that he is still alive and injured.
Not serious.
"This general is still alive. The entire Qin army has obeyed the order and continued to retreat. The responsibility for this defeat will be borne by me alone. Anyone who dares to surrender will have his whole family beheaded and the three tribes will be demoted to subordinates." Bai Qi gathered his strength and spoke loudly.
All over the battlefield.
"Pfft!" A stream of reverse blood came out of his throat, and he turned pale, and forcefully swallowed the reverse blood. If he vomited blood at this time, Zhao Jun would realize that he had been seriously injured. For the entire Qin army, it would be a serious blow.
It's a devastating disaster.
"I, Zhao Feiqi, are here, let Bai Qi suffer death." Yan Ju's hearty laughter came from the sky, and he struck Bai Qi with a knife.
"Jun Wu An, let me stop him." Xin Wu waved his gun and faced Yan Ju, then turned around and said to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi nodded at Xin Wu and without hesitation, immediately ordered a retreat.
In his current state, one Yan Ju might not be able to kill him, but with Zhao Feiqi behind him, it would definitely be enough. The Black Armored Army suffered heavy losses, with only a hundred people left, and they would definitely not be able to stop Zhao Feiqi.
Not to mention that Zhao Kuo and others are rushing towards here not far away.
Once the imperial guards of Zhao and the soldiers of Wei surrounded him, he would not be able to escape even in his prime.
"General, you go first, let's stop the Zhao army." The hundreds of Qin soldiers and the remaining nearly a hundred black-armored soldiers looked at each other, and they all saw the other's determination. They no longer hesitated at all and worked hard regardless of their own safety.
Rushing towards Zhao Kuo.
They used their own flesh and blood to block the Zhao army and gave Bai Qi the opportunity to withdraw to Rangcheng.
