As the Qin Army General Wang Lu issued the order for the entire army to retreat, there was no longer any suspense about the outcome of this "Qin-Wei Hangu Battle".
After first destroying Longxi and then frightening the Jirong, Qin's powerful army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves finally suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Wei army in the Hangu area of Sanchuan County.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"
"General Wang Hao has ordered that the entire army...(arrow) withdraw...evacuate..."
Under the rain of arrows from the Wei army's crossbowmen, hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers gradually retreated to the rear. However, the Wei army's crossbowmen persisted in biting the Qin soldiers, killing one Qin soldier after another with their crossbows.
.
The slow-moving tortoise-shell chariots were abandoned by the Wei army's crossbowmen as the Qin army was completely defeated. The Wei army's sword and shield soldiers once again took on the role of opening the way, cooperating with the crossbowmen to press forward.
"Keep the Qin army!"
The Northern Sichuan Cavalry Commander Bosile, who was standing on horseback, raised his hand and pointed at the defeated Qin army in front.
Immediately, the 50,000 northern Sichuan cavalry behind him were divided into dozens of thousands of cavalry teams, and they plunged into the retreating Qin army, rushing left and right, tearing the Qin army apart.
The cavalrymen of northern Sichuan, who were skilled in bows and horses, sometimes used their long bows to shoot down the Qin soldiers who were fleeing with their backs, and sometimes used their weapons to force those Qin soldiers who had no time to escape the encirclement, so they could only stop and panic.
Get together.
The northern Sichuan cavalry ignored the surrounded Qin soldiers because that was not their mission, and immediately pressed on the advancing Wei army's sword, shield and crossbow soldiers to deal with these small groups of enemies.
Their mission is to slow down the Qin army's retreat as much as possible, and take advantage of the Qin army's defeat today to expand their results.
Of course, occasionally there are individual generals who do not want to be a supporting role on the battlefield. For example, "Hecha Haqi", the commander of ten thousand men under Bosile, the cavalry governor of northern Sichuan, directly led his ten thousand cavalry into the Qin army's
Team.
Thousands of northern Sichuan cavalrymen set up their machetes and used the speed of their horses to slash left and right, killing the Qin soldiers who were fleeing with their backs along the way. They killed the enemies faster than the Wei army's crossbowmen.
But this is no wonder, after all, it is extremely easy for the light cavalry to deal with the defeated infantry.
"Hecha Hachi!"
Another captain of the northern Sichuan cavalry, the sharp archer "Nuhar", led a small group of cavalry to catch up with the disobedient companion. He frowned and scolded: "King Su's order is to hold back the Qin army!"
At that time, without even looking, he raised his bow and shot an arrow to kill the Qin soldiers who were trying to die with him.
"What does it matter?" Hecha Hachi said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Nuhar narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Hecha Haqi, take your people and go to the front to intercept the fleeing Qin soldiers."
"Hey!" Hechahaqi curled his lips. He didn't know whether he was afraid of Nuhar or the King Su in the latter's mouth. In short, he didn't say anything back. He just waved his hand with a sad expression and directed towards the nearby Sichuan Bei.
The cavalry shouted: "Don't kill, follow me to the front!"
After saying that, he clamped his legs under the horse's belly and led nearly Wanchuanbei cavalry to quickly leave the battlefield. Then, after riding the horse in a roundabout way, he intercepted the leading troops of the Qin army as they were retreating.
At this time, the entire battlefield seemed to have become a hunting ground for the northern Sichuan cavalry. Although the Qin army still numbered hundreds of thousands, they were unable to stop the 50,000 northern Sichuan cavalry. They slaughtered and tore apart the team wantonly.
But despite this, the most dazzling thing on the battlefield is still the combination of sword, shield and crossbow soldiers on the Wei army's side. Both sides abandoned their slow-moving tortoise-shell chariots, and the sword and shield soldiers built a defense line to protect the crossbow soldiers behind them.
They quickly approached the Qin army and killed one after another Qin army that was divided and surrounded.
In fact, the Wei army was also very tired, especially the sword and shield soldiers. As the backbone of the Wei army on the battlefield, they carried hundreds of kilograms of load, dragging their bodies with spirit over the body, and gradually compressed what was left of the Qin army.
space.
If the joy of winning had not made them excited, I believe some people would have been unable to hold on at this moment.
"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed..."
Similar slogans gradually sounded among the Wei army.
However, those Qin soldiers who were forced into a desperate situation rarely surrendered, especially the tattooed soldiers. After being forced into a desperate situation, they showed an increasingly fierce side, and each one made a final counterattack against the Wei army in an attempt to
Pull a Wei soldier to die together.
"The one who surrenders will not be killed, the one who surrenders will not...son of a bitch!"
Before he could finish shouting two slogans, Ran Teng, a general with thousands of troops, saw one of his own soldiers being thrown to the ground by a tattooed soldier. The latter bit the former's nose with a ferocious look on his face, and he was as ferocious as
A beast.
Seeing this, Ran Teng was furious and was about to go over to rescue him with his sword, when he heard a few puff puffs, and the tattooed soldier had been shot into a hedgehog by the crossbowmen behind the Wei army's sword and shield soldiers.
"Are you... okay?"
Ran Teng stepped forward and kicked away the dead body of the tattooed soldier, and pulled up the sword and shield soldier of his own who had been thrown to the ground. However, he was shocked to find that the latter's nose had been bitten off.
Not only was the whole face covered in blood, but the place where the nose was missing was extremely ugly and ugly.
However, even though his nose was bitten off, the Shangshui soldier did not yell or angrily slash at the tattooed soldier's body to vent his anger. On the contrary, his eyes showed a bit of panic, and there was a hint of fear.
It's a feeling of lingering fear.
Only he knew best. In fact, the tattooed soldier was originally going to bite his throat. After all, he was wearing armor all over his body, but his face and throat were the weakest in defense. If he hadn't subconsciously shrunk
Head, hit the opponent hard with your forehead, I'm afraid the opponent's throat has already been bitten.
But even though he hit the opponent's forehead hard with his helmeted forehead, the opponent still endured dizziness and bit his nose.
"These guys... these guys..." he said with trembling lips: "They are not dead yet!"
"..." Ran Teng was stunned for a moment, somewhat incomprehensible.
But after a while, when more and more Qin soldiers refused the Wei army's forced landing, trying to die with the Wei soldiers, Ran Teng finally understood that what the soldier whose nose was bitten off meant that "they haven't yet"
"Death", what does it mean? Even if they are defeated and routed, the bloody spirit in the hearts of the Qin soldiers still exists!
When fighting with tigers and wolves like soldiers of the Qin State on the battlefield, even a little bit of slackness or a little kindness will cost one's own life.
"These people are worthy of respect...enemies!"
Putting on his helmet again, Ran Teng, a thousand-man general, once again clenched the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Shang Shui Army - attack!"
"Whoa whoa--!"
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers once again boosted their morale and fought desperately against the desperate Qin soldiers.
Gradually, the Wei army stopped shouting slogans like "Those who surrender will not be killed" because few Qin soldiers would choose to surrender.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
The rain of arrows from the Wei army once again enveloped the battlefield, covering the heads of the Qin soldiers who were surrounded from all sides. The fierce Qin soldiers also made their final counterattacks when they realized that they had no way out.
Although these Qin soldiers may not have touched the Wei soldiers in the end, their ferocity and tenacity made the Shang Shui Army and Yanling soldiers present remember each other: Qin people!
This is a war where almost no prisoners will be taken!
"kill--!"
"Outflank the left wing!...That thousand-man team, yes, outflank it!"
"Crossbowman! Target right front!...Fire arrows!"
Without mercy or relaxation, the Wei soldiers tensed up their nerves and killed the surrounded Qin soldiers one after another, and pressed forward again.
The battlefield at this time had moved from a position roughly five miles southwest of Hangu Wei Camp to a position nearly fifteen miles away.
For ten miles, while the Qin army was evacuating on a large scale, the Wei army was biting its tail, so that the corpses of Qin soldiers were everywhere along the way, and the red blood stained the evacuation road for ten miles.
.
It was so tragic that even Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips and was speechless in shock.
He had never thought that Qin Bing could be so tenacious and ferocious. Even if he was in dire straits, he would still be a ferocious tiger and wolf.
"...Such a disastrous defeat can't make it fearful? Make it despair?"
Zhao Hongrun held the horse's rein tightly and said nothing.
Immediately, he shouted loudly: "Send the order and the whole army will move forward faster! Kill one enemy and you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
"...How decisive!"
Lintao Lord Wei Ji glanced at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, and was about to say a few words of praise when he heard Zhao Hongrun say again: "Wei Jiao, send someone to pass the order to Xiaoshan, Xiong'er Mountain, and my Hangu military camp to stay behind, abandon all the stations, and take advantage of the opportunity.
Victory pursues the Qin army!... Lu Balong, send your people to inform the Yanjiao army of Jie, Ling, Yi and Wuxu, and in the name of my king, order them to encircle and suppress the Qin army!"
"Your Highness?" Lu Balong looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid..."
As if he had guessed Lu Balong's thoughts, Zhao Hongrun said with a gloomy face: "Tell them, no matter what, my Wei soldiers will bury at least 200,000 enemy corpses with their own hands before evacuating Sanchuan County! ...
It doesn’t matter if they are from Qin or Jie tribe!... Let them take care of themselves!"
"...Gu."
Lu Balon swallowed his saliva and was shocked and speechless.
This was the first time Lu Balong had seen Zhao Hongrun with such a violent temper.
No, it's not the first time. I've seen him once before. That was two years ago. The King Su in front of him warned the entire Jie tribe in Sanchuan County not to help the Jiejiao tribe: If the Jie tribemen like you dare to secretly support the Jiejiao tribe, I will
Even if the king spends all the salt of the Wei Dynasty, he will still sprinkle enough salt on every inch of the conquered land of the Jie people to ensure that no grass will grow on this land within a few years!
"Yes, it's exactly the same as then. It's just that His Highness Prince Su is even more imposing today than he was two years ago. It's as if..."
"Yes! I will send someone there immediately!"
Lu Balong clasped his fists like the Wei people did and responded seriously.
