Gao Pei seemed to hear the soldiers around him shouting loudly, but it seemed as if he couldn't hear anything.
The world in my eyes has lost its color.
"Is this death?" Gao Pei's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
No one knows whether he regrets it. The arrow on his throat prevented him from leaving his last words.
"Run."
Once Gao Pei died, the remaining people no longer had any scruples and turned around and ran away.
If Gao Pei hadn't asked his personal guards to guard the back, they would have escaped long ago.
They no longer want to stay here.
They want to leave the battlefield, and they don't want to leave their lives here in vain.
The personal guards who originally implemented Gao Pei's plan did not care about the fleeing soldiers at this moment.
The moment they saw Gao Pei fall, some people had already started running away.
Even as Gao Pei's personal bodyguards, they have already thought about quitting.
At the moment Gao Pei fell, no one remaining on the battlefield was willing to continue fighting.
"Run."
"Run."
Nearly 30,000 soldiers all turned around.
They didn't care whether Wang Ding would take advantage of the situation and fight his way out of the city.
They just want to get away from the battlefield.
Zhang Wei and Yang Bai were watching the battle from behind. They didn't know that Gao Pei was dead.
Looking at the soldiers who suddenly retreated, the two thought it was Gao Pei who finally realized that he was no longer wasting the lives of his soldiers.
Only when the 30,000 soldiers approached did the two of them realize that the retreating soldiers were in too much confusion.
Seeing that they were about to rush into their military formation, the thirty thousand defeated troops still did not stop.
"What's going on?"
Thirty thousand ghost soldiers were originally in a pretty good formation, but now they were rushed by the defeated troops, and many of them were inexplicably carried away by the defeated troops.
On the wall of Yangpingguan City, Gao Shun suddenly said: "It's time to pursue."
Naturally, Wang Ding didn’t want to give up the opportunity to beat the drowned dog.
When Gao Pei fell and 30,000 soldiers fled, Wang Ding wanted to pursue him.
I can sympathize with them in my heart, but this is a battlefield after all, and we must not let them go back just because they were forced to die by Gao Pei.
They will not be grateful to Wang Ding just because he let them go today.
When they return to Yizhou and return to Liu Yan's command, other Yizhou generals will lead them to continue fighting Wang Ding next time.
The reason why we didn’t chase down these defeated soldiers at the first time.
It's because Zhang Wei and Yang Bai brought 30,000 ghost soldiers to suppress the formation.
But now, 30,000 ghost soldiers have been dispersed by the defeated troops.
Wang Ding no longer had any scruples, and directly led the Han troops in the pass to kill them.
20,000 elite men chased the defeated troops.
Twenty thousand people, chasing and killing 60,000 people.
Zhang Wei watched as his troops were scattered by Gao Pei's soldiers.
This made him very angry and wanted to cause trouble for Gao Pei. He grabbed a broken soldier and asked loudly: "What are you running for? Where is Gao Pei?"
The soldier caught by Zhang Wei did not answer, he just threw his arm and wanted to continue running away.
But Zhang Wei's hand held him tightly, and he couldn't shake it off this time.
Zhang Wei used a little more strength and squeezed the soldier's face so hard that he opened his mouth and said: "The general is dead, don't stop me, the Han army will chase you."
"Gao Pei is dead?"
Zhang Wei let go of the other party, but he was still a little unbelievable.
Why did Gao Pei die?
He thought it was Gao Pei who took the initiative to withdraw his troops.
Zhang Wei trembled and said: "Retreat, retreat quickly."
His men and horses have all been scattered by the rout. Now even if he wants to organize the ghost soldiers to resist, it will be difficult to integrate the scattered ghost soldiers.
And after hearing that Gao Pei was dead, Zhang Wei had no intention of fighting the Han army.
Even if his ghost soldiers were not scattered by the defeated troops, Zhang Wei probably would not come to stop the Han army.
Compared to Gao Pei, he obviously cherishes his life more.
I don’t want to hand over my life to this.
Yang Bai also had similar thoughts.
The 30,000 ghost soldiers under their command were pushed forward by 30,000 defeated troops.
They didn't want to fight the Han army in the first place, and Zhang Wei and Yang Bai didn't organize them, so many people were coerced from the beginning, but later they took the initiative to run away.
The Han army pursued and advanced.
"Surrender without killing."
"Surrender without killing."
Gao Shun, Xu Huang and other generals rushed to the front.
They rode war horses and galloped past.
Wang Ding was also among them, Mo Dao's sword was propped on the ground.
Except for the 10,000 civilians, all the other soldiers followed and were killed.
As the Han army approached, the defeated soldiers running behind became more and more desperate.
After hearing the Han army shouting to surrender without killing, many people dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
Zhang Wei and Yang Bai have already reached the front.
However, the two of them did not stop, nor did they organize a breakup, but continued to run forward.
The initial rout was not their troops, and they would not necessarily listen to them under normal circumstances.
Not to mention it’s time to run away in panic.
And their own ghost soldiers have little experience. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to be controlled by them.
Neither of them tried, and they had already concluded in their hearts that they were helpless in the face of the Han army's pursuit.
We can only escape.
Soon they arrived at the camp where they were stationed.
But Zhang Wei and Yang Bai still didn't stop.
Just looking back, they saw the Han army chasing behind them. They passed through the camp and fled all the way to Hanzhong.
The two of them had fought against the Han army before, and today Gao Pei died at the hands of the Han army. As they fled, they cursed Gao Pei bloody in their hearts.
I was originally not optimistic about Yang Huai and Gao Pei, but now I even look down on Liu Yan.
Even reinforcements like this dare to be sent to support them.
If Yang Huai and Gao Pei had not come, this failure would not have happened today.
The two of them blamed Gao Pei for today's defeat.
If Gao Pei hadn't insisted on sending troops and hadn't counterattacked, so that his troops were broken and their troops dispersed, they would have been able to hold on to the camp.
After chasing for more than ten miles, Wang Ding withdrew his troops.
I did not continue to pursue Zhang Wei and Yang Bai.
Zhang Lu's original camp was now occupied by the Han army.
Countless prisoners are temporarily detained here.
After chasing for more than ten miles, many ghost soldiers and Yizhou soldiers trampled each other to death.
On the contrary, the Han army killed a little less people.
Because almost all the enemy troops they overtook did not choose to resist, but chose to surrender.
"The end."
Wang Ding is walking in the camp.
Followed by Gao Shun, Xu Huang and others.
Another big win, everyone is happy.
Everyone has made great military achievements this time, and when they return to Chang'an, they will inevitably receive another wave of rewards.
But there is no rush now, Li Su and others have already taken the soldiers and started to count the number of people.
Our own casualties, the number of prisoners, and the wounded must receive treatment as soon as possible.
When Gao Pei defended the city before, Gao Pei's ladder siege vehicle was burned down early and could not threaten the Han army on the wall at all.
After leaving the city, they only pursued a group of defeated troops, and the Han army suffered very few casualties.
There were only 623 soldiers killed in the battle.
