Although Taishi Ci was surprised to see Su You die in the hands of his own people, he had no time to think about the reason for him now.
Now, with the death of Su You, a large number of Hebei troops gave up resistance on this section of the city wall.
Some ran away, while others knelt down and surrendered.
Seeing this, what else could he say? Taishi Ci accelerated his pace and rushed towards the Hebei Army in other cities.
As long as a few more city walls are captured, the Chu army's large forces can wait for the Ningjin Pass.
And when the Chu army can occupy more city walls, Ningjin's defense line can basically be declared lost.
You must know that the Hebei Army was able to resist Xiang Ji's Chu Army for so long, relying on the defense of the pass.
If it were a field battle, the Hebei Army, which relied solely on more than 80,000 regular soldiers, would not be a match for the Chu Army at all.
As for the other more than 300,000 defenders?
Haha, Xiang Ji never took them seriously.
What can some farmers who take up arms do? Maybe they are already timid even before they reach the battlefield, right?
Of course, Taishi Ci knew this, the Chu army knew it, and Jiao Chu, as the guard general of Ningjin, knew it even more clearly.
"Quick! Block! We can't let them rush over. We must block the Chu army no matter what!"
Seeing that the Chu army, led by Tai Shici, began to attack another city pass, the defender was in great distress.
Damn Su You, a waste, just a waste!
Although he didn't see how Su You died, seeing that Tai Shici was still launching attacks, even if Jiao Chu was a fool, he could guess that Su You must have been killed.
However, in the face of Taishi Ci, who was famous all over the world, Jiao Chu did not have any courage to go up and confront him. All he could do was to constantly order his soldiers to fill the gap created by Taishi Ci's charge.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Just when Jiao Chu was commanding his soldiers to block Tai Shi Ci's attack, a loud shout suddenly sounded from another section of the city wall.
Looking up, Jiao Touch's hands and feet suddenly became cold.
Another section of the city wall fell? So quickly?
Moreover, it was Zhao Yun who led the siege!
As a general in Hebei, Jiao Chu, the generals in Chu State, naturally knew who they were.
Now, the Chu soldiers led by Taishi Ci have completely occupied a section of the city wall, and the other section of the city wall has also been lost due to Zhao Yun's attack.
Jiao Chu knew that the Ningjin Pass might not be able to be defended.
"Call the whole army to block, must block the Chu army's attack.
King Qi's reinforcements are already on their way, hold on, the reinforcements will be here soon!"
After saying that, Jiao Chu turned over and mounted his war horse.
Immediately, Jiao Huo turned his horse's head and ran away madly behind him.
Just kidding, the fall of Ningjin is certain. Uncle Jiao Chu, can I still live and die with Ningjin?
Yes, Jiao Chu escaped on his own after giving the garrison the order to defend...
On a chaotic battlefield, it is completely normal for someone to disappear, even if that person is the general.
But with the disappearance of Jiao Chu, Ningjin's Hebei garrison became even more confused.
After all, each section of the city wall faced a fierce attack by the Chu army, and the Hebei army, lacking command, could only fight on its own.
"Kill! Open the city gate! Quick! I, Xia Houlan, am responsible for destroying the city!"
After a round of fighting, Xia Houlan took the lead in leading the troops to the city gate of Ningjin Pass.
The chaotic Hebei army had no way of resisting it, and was killed by the Chu army in a moment of chaos.
The city gate was opened.
"All troops, charge!"
Seeing the city gate open, Xiang Ji, who was outside the city, clamped his legs and a white dragon shot out from his crotch.
"Xiang Ji of Chu State is here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
The white dragon's horse was so fast that in a few steps, Xiang Ji had already entered the pass.
The Overlord Halberd flew in his hand, and the Hebei troops approaching it were constantly swept away by Xiang Ji.
"Kill!"
"The Kingdom of Chu will be victorious! The Overlord will be victorious!"
Following closely behind him, a large number of Chu troops rushed into the pass through the open city gate.
Hebei's army was outnumbered, but its combat power was poor. Facing the powerful Chu army, it could only retreat steadily.
As the last wave of Chu troops entered the city, Ningjin was completely lost.
A large number of Hebei soldiers knelt down and surrendered. Only a few took advantage of the chaos and fled into the mountains and forests.
"Overlord! Our army has won this battle!"
A total of more than 200,000 enemy troops were captured and more than 100,000 were killed. Yuan Shang's Ningjin army was completely destroyed!"
When Xiang Ji heard Pang Tong's post-war statistics, he was shocked.
Two hundred thousand prisoners? One hundred thousand killed?
this......
It is acceptable to capture 200,000 Xiangju. After all, Ningjin has 400,000 defenders, and most of them are farmers. Facing such a killing battlefield, it is not surprising to surrender.
But killing more than 100,000 people is too exaggerated, right? How long did the battle last? How could it be possible to kill so many in just one morning?
It turns out that this is what Xiang Ji didn't know.
Because the Chu army was blocked by the Ningjin defenders for more than two months, everyone was filled with resentment.
Now that the city barrier has been breached, why don't you go crazy and vent your anger?
If the Hebei army was a regular army with combat effectiveness, then the Chu army would not have been able to achieve such results no matter what.
But the problem is that most of the Hebei army are farmers who have just taken up arms.
Even if they resisted the Chu army in Ningjin for two months, they still lacked training in battle formation.
You might be able to do it by relying on the city wall, but if you fight face to face, you really have no power to resist.
Therefore, most of the Hebei troops were massacred after the city gates were broken and a large number of Chu troops entered the city.
Yes, it is massacre.
Facing these defenseless Hebei troops, the soldiers of the Chu army, who had been suppressed for two months, waved their butcher knives and desperately killed all the enemy troops still standing in front of them.
After some questioning, Xiang Ji understood the cause and effect, and was immediately filled with sadness.
These will all be my subjects from now on!
Mud, we must set military rules in the future. Faced with this kind of enemy army that has no power to resist, we must not massacre casually.
Damn it, they killed more than 100,000 people in just one morning.
How many hundred thousand people can there be in the country now?
As a modern person, Xiang Ji naturally knows what population meant in ancient times.
"Military advisor, please inform the generals immediately and ask them to pass it on to the entire army.
If this happens again in the future, whether you do it to vent your anger or for military glory, and if you massacre people who are unable to resist, no matter how big or small your official position is, you will all be executed!"
Yes, Xiang Ji was angry.
If you kill the enemy head-on on the battlefield, the more you kill, the more heroic you will be.
But this massacre of serfs who have no power to resist is completely cutting off my flesh!
