Chapter 267 Three days without dismantling! (8300 words)
Looking down from a high altitude, the entire vast area around Moutuogang has turned into the most brutal battlefield.
The area outside the capital city is not very large, but there are nearly four to five million troops gathered there.
All the elites of Qi and Jin are gathered here!
It is no lie to say that this battle will determine the national destiny of Qi and Jin for the next hundred years.
Among them, there are about 150,000 elite Jin people, and the rest are Qi troops.
It's just that although the Qi army was large in number, it included a large number of King Qin's troops, who were not elite troops in themselves. The only one Sheng Taizu could really hope to face head-on with the Jin people was the Western army in his hands.
The Western Army cannot be dispersed.
Dividing troops is a taboo. Once the troops are dispersed, they will be easily defeated by the enemy. Especially when facing such a tenacious Jin army, we cannot take this risk.
Therefore, in this battle, the biggest problem faced by the Qi army was: how to keep the Jin soldiers?
These Jin people had decided to abandon the looted goods and baggage, and chose a relatively weak King Qin's army to attack fiercely. However, it was impossible for the Western army led by Sheng Taizu and Liu Fa to have wings on their backs and fly over directly to block it.
It's hard to say how successful a follow-up pursuit would be.
…
"General Wang! The Jin! The Jin is coming to kill us!"
Wang Jianxiong stood up immediately after hearing the news. At this time, he had not taken off his armor for several days.
At this time, he had the original 8,000-strong King Qin's army and the 2,000 people later recruited from the Western Army.
Taken together, the number is only ten thousand.
However, Wang Jianxiong has taken these people several times to support other friendly forces and fought several battles with Jin soldiers.
It's just that this is the first time that Jin Bing has actually taken the initiative to attack here.
Because Wang Jianxiong was stationed on an inconspicuous hillock, there was a trail next to it, which was much narrower than the official road.
Although it can be passed by the army, it is difficult to transport a large amount of baggage quickly.
The capital of the Qi Dynasty was located in an endless plain. Although it relied on the Yellow River and had a wide moat, there was no particularly dangerous terrain around it.
The reason why the Jin people were stationed in Moutuogang was simply because this small slope was considered a commanding height in the surrounding area and had abundant water and grass, making it suitable for feeding horses.
In addition to Moutuogang, the largest mound, there are more than a hundred large and small mounds nearby. Wang Jianxiong is located on an inconspicuous small mound.
The high slopes and trails together form a strategic location.
Wang Jianxiong walked out of the camp quickly, mounted his horse and looked down.
Then, he took a breath of cold air.
So many golden soldiers!
Although he had fought several battles with the Jin people before, they were always as defensive aids to support the friendly forces. Moreover, the Jin people's previous attacks were mainly in the north, which was far away from Wang Jianxiong's place.
Most of the golden soldiers around Wang Jianxiong were testing weak points, and they did not really gather a large number of elite soldiers to open a gap.
And now, golden soldiers all over the mountains and plains are rushing towards us!
It is densely packed and stretches as far as the eye can see. Almost everyone as far as the eye can see is full of people, and they are all fierce and murderous with various weapons in their hands. They are led by cavalry on tall horses and wearing armor. They are obviously targeting this place as the main direction of attack.
.
Wang Jianxiong felt a chill in his heart for a moment.
Am I so unlucky?
He originally thought that the Jin people would probably continue to choose the official road in the north as a breakthrough point. After all, it was the most spacious place and could allow the Jin people to transport all the luggage.
But now it seems that it is obviously because the 30,000 Qin Wang army over there is too tough. The Jin people tried to chew it several times but failed to bite it off. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides and being attacked by the Western army, they changed the direction of the attack.
Break through as quickly as possible!
Many of the soldiers under his command were already trembling slightly.
They are people who have won gold medals, but the current situation is different.
Everyone can see that staying here will lead to death!
However, just as someone wanted to propose to withdraw, they saw Wang Jianxiong draw his sword with a livid face.
"General Liu said, no matter what the cost, hold on for an hour!
"If we let the Jin people go and let all the soldiers' efforts this month go to waste, then we will be eternal sinners and will be remembered in history books for thousands of years!
"Those who dare to retreat will be dealt with according to military law and killed without mercy!"
Looking at Wang Jianxiong's somewhat distorted face, these soldiers also understood that it was impossible to retreat from this battle.
Hold on for an hour...
No one knew whether they could do it. Even though they had built some defenses around this small mound and trail, there were too many Jin people after all, and those who charged forward were all elite soldiers.
But now, I can only use this belief as support and grit my teeth and persevere!
…
At the same time, Liu Fa also rode a war horse and followed closely behind Fan Cun.
They are leading the elite of the Western Army to storm the Jin soldiers in charge of the rear at Moutuogang, hoping to kill the Jin soldiers as much as possible!
Of course, Wan Yansheng expected that the Western Army would pursue them, so he deliberately left his elite behind to intercept them.
What both sides are fighting for is only time.
If the Jin people break through the encirclement first, they can retreat calmly. Even if the Western Army continues to pursue fiercely and causes a certain amount of damage, it will be difficult to achieve any decisive results.
But if the Western Army can penetrate the Jin's rear army first, but the Jin still fails to break through the Qi Army's encirclement...then it will only be a matter of time before the entire Jin army is annihilated.
The person responsible for the end of the war was Wanyan Xian, who was also Wanyan Sheng's confidant and was later named King Gaitian.
He has dealt with the Qi army countless times, and almost every time in the past, it ended with a complete victory for the Jin people.
But this time, the situation is a little different.
He found that the combat effectiveness of these Qi troops was not too outrageous. They all rushed forward as if they were risking their lives. Even if there were dead and wounded in front of them, they did not flinch!
Soon, Wan Yanxian found out the reason.
Because that golden helmet and golden armor, the fierce general who picked out several golden cavalry in front of the formation, was the current emperor of the Qi Dynasty and the former King Yun!
Wan Yanxian's face suddenly turned pale.
"The emperor of Qi Ren... really went on a personal expedition?!"
In fact, there had been various signs before that there was a person with a higher status than Liu Fa sitting in the Western Army's barracks.
But the Jin people still didn't want to believe that he was the emperor of Qi Dynasty.
Because in their opinion, there was no reason for the Emperor of Qi to come to the front line in person, let alone have such wonderful military talents.
But now, after seeing with his own eyes that the Emperor of the Qi Dynasty actually went into battle and showed a terrifying force value that could equal a thousand, Jin Cai finally had to believe it.
And the fear accumulated from successive setbacks in the past few days was like a heavy hammer, hitting all the golden soldiers hard.
With morale rising and falling, how could the Qi army not fight to the death?
After all, the emperor is here!
Liu Fa was not willing to lag behind. Although his body was almost hit by the arrows of the Golden Man, he was still not seriously injured despite being heavily armored and was still rushing forward with all his strength.
If the war horse dies in battle, then grab another horse.
In short, these elite soldiers of the Western Army are almost desperate to rush forward, and they don't care at all how many enemies are ahead!
Among them, it is not only the morale improvement brought by the imperial commander's personal expedition, but also the concentration of fighting spirit brought by the clear rewards and punishments, and more importantly, they, as warriors of the Qi Dynasty, have to take a breath.
Suppressed by the emperor, suppressed by civil servants, and slaughtered by the Jin people...
And now, they want to overthrow the three mountains that are weighing on them, and under the leadership of this new emperor, they want to take revenge on the Jinren!
"Wan Yanxian! Come and accept your fate!"
Liu Fa shouted angrily, thrust his gun under his horse's belly, and aimed straight at Wan Yanxian.
Beside him, the soldiers were also desperately moving forward to cover, forcing their way into the Jin's military formation.
Spears and machetes came over one after another. Liu Fa just used the spear in his hand to call out the one that threatened the most, and then rushed forward without stopping, aiming at Wan Yanxian with a shot!
The spear in Wan Yanxian's hand pushed Liu Fa's spear away and shouted: "Surround him! Kill him!"
In fact, as a general of the Jin people, Wan Yanxian's marksmanship and riding skills were both very strong. At other times, he might have stepped forward to challenge Liu Fa to a duel, and then defeated Liu Fa.
.
But now, he is timid.
Because the morale of both parties has been imbalanced, and Wan Yanxian has no confidence. If there is a mistake, the situation will collapse instantly, so Wan Yanxian does not dare to bet.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a commotion on the flank.
When he reluctantly put away Liu Fa's spear and turned around to look, he saw a suit of golden armor shining brightly in the sunlight, which almost blinded him.
Then, a spear pierced him unexpectedly, piercing through the gaps between his armor on both sides!
A powerful impact came from the tip of the spear, knocking him off his horse!
Fan Cun shouted loudly: "Come in! Leave no trace of the golden man behind!"
…
Even the lowest level of ordinary soldiers in the Western Army are already red-blooded.
After the leader of the Jin rear army, Wan Yanxian, was dismissed by the emperor, the morale of these soldiers had reached an extremely high level.
Jin Bing, who was in charge of the rear of the palace, could no longer hold on any longer.
In the chaos, rout and killing, the vanguard of the Western Army broke into Moutuogang.
One of the soldiers looked down and found that his armor had been cut, torn, and deformed in several places, and there were faint traces of blood in it.
But he didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he only felt that the hand holding the knife was becoming congested with blood, and he had a slightly sore, numb, and swollen excitement.
The tip of the knife was still dripping with blood.
He has not killed as many Jin men in his life as he did in this battle!
"Is this the Jin people's camp?
"Is this the place where the Jin people hoarded their gold, silver, property and women after plundering them from the capital city?"
The Jin people's camp is located on Moutuogang and spreads out.
This was the first time that soldiers from the Qi Dynasty entered the interior of the Jin camp.
In the past, they were not even qualified to take a look from a distance.
However, while passing through the Jin camp, the soldier suddenly saw something.
Something that made him temporarily forget about Jin Bing, something that made him unable to take his eyes away.
Several large boxes were piled aside, the lids of the boxes were opened, and the contents were scattered on the floor.
This was obviously something the Jin people didn't have time to take away.
There were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings among them. Obviously, compared with the military rations and more valuable items that had to be taken away, they were the part that was forced to be given up.
The soldier's eyes were a little red.
He knew that just grabbing a handful of them would be enough for his military salary for the next ten years.
He quickly walked to the box and money, trying to rummage through them.
However, at this moment, a spear swept over from the side and hit him hard!
The pawn was beaten to a pulp, and his back was in burning pain.
He turned around angrily: "Who!"
But the next second, the sharp point of the gun was pointed at his chest, and the soldier was stunned for an instant.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Fan Cun said coldly: "After winning the battle, all these properties will be rewarded based on merit, and all will be given to the soldiers!
"Now, anyone who dares to steal property privately will be subject to military law and will be killed without mercy!
"Why don't you get out yet?"
The soldier suddenly woke up and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
After that, he no longer dared to look at the treasures on the ground and rushed forward quickly.
Moving forward, more temptations appeared in front of the soldiers.
A large part of the large amounts of gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and various materials, as well as the women they captured, could not be taken away by the Jin people. They were all thrown in the military camp and on the way out of the military camp.
It is impossible to say that the soldiers of the Qi army are not moved.
They are all top soldiers at the lowest level. When have they ever seen so many good things?
But under the surveillance of the military law team, after seeing those soldiers who stole property being beheaded, most of the Qi army gritted their teeth and crossed over, and continued to rush forward regardless.
Fan Cun continued to move forward. It was difficult for him to control these soldiers not to be tempted by the property at all. It was impossible for the military law team to kill all the soldiers who stole the property, but these things could be settled later. At this time
More importantly, naturally we should continue to pursue the Jin army.
At this time, they were almost leaving the range of the Jin camp, and the battle ahead was still continuing.
Although Wan Yanxian was dead and the Jin people's rear army collapsed, sporadic Jin soldiers were still resisting.
And the further you chase, the more golden soldiers you encounter.
It has to be said that at this time, the fighting will of these Jin people was indeed much stronger than that of the Qi army.
But for Sheng Taizu, the situation was now complete, and no matter how strong his will to fight was, it would no longer work.
But... after running for a while, the front suddenly became crowded.
Fan Cun couldn't help but frown.
Attack frustrated?
Could it be that the Jin people not only sent Wan Yanxian to the rear, but also had other elites responsible for blocking the rear?
However, when he rode his horse into the crowd, he did not see any elite Jin people. Instead, a large number of Qi troops stopped chasing and looked at each other, seemingly at a loss.
Fan Cun couldn't help but his face darkened: "Why did you stop?"
One of the soldiers stumbled and said: "Your Majesty, then..."
He seemed a little unsure of what to say, so he could only raise his hand and point forward.
Fan Cun looked along his hand and found a small group of golden soldiers in front of him.
The number of these golden soldiers is not large. Normally, the vanguard of the Western Army would have been able to crush them long ago.
However, at this time, these golden soldiers were holding a hostage wearing a dragon robe.
It was Qi Yingzong who had already entered the Jin Camp and became a hostage before Fan Cun led the Western Army.
At this time, Qi Yingzong didn't look very good. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot in the Jin camp.
But even so, even if he became a hostage, there was still a hint of joy on his face.
Because he felt that he was definitely going to be saved!
"Royal brother, it's really you?
"You really came to save me!
"Quickly, let these soldiers retreat. When these golden men successfully leave, they will put me back! You must not act rashly!"
During this period, Qi Yingzong's mood was like a roller coaster and he experienced too many ups and downs.
A few days after he entered Jin Camp, he already regretted it.
Because this time the Jin people did not treat him as politely as before and then put him back. Instead, they put him under house arrest.
After weakly protesting, Qi Yingzong soon reluctantly accepted this fact and continued to send edicts to the city, asking officials to plunder property and women and send them to the Jin camp.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly.
Qi Yingzong also felt that if he fulfilled the Jin people's requirements, he would still have a chance to go back.
But soon, the Jin man who came to ask for the edict no longer looked kind, but became irritable.
Later, the Jin people did not want his edict at all.
Later, Qi Yingzong learned from the Jin soldiers guarding him that King Yun had entered the city. Now, the city no longer recognized him as the emperor's edict.
This made Qi Yingzong furious and cursed loudly.
Rebellious ministers and traitors!
Now, he finally realized that he had become a real loner in Jinying, an orphan whose father did not care for him or his mother did not love him.
As the war between the two sides continued to escalate, the Jin people naturally did not have a good look towards him, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty. However, considering that he might still be of some use, they did not beat him or kill him outright.
But now, the Jin people have planned to retreat, and finally realized that the Qi people have no intention of having this emperor at all.
Therefore, Qi Yingzong has no value.
It's just that the Jin soldiers in the rear thought that he might be of some use and wanted to try to use the late emperor to block the Qi army.
And Qi Yingzong really cooperated with them.
Because in Qi Yingzong's view, since the Qi army has won and the Jin people have already withdrawn their troops, there is no need to pursue them. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to return to the capital happily and continue to live their lives?
He felt with joy that although King Yun had attempted to usurp his throne, he still had to save his brother because of brotherly love.
However, he only saw King Yun in front of him silent for a moment, and then said a few words to the Western Army beside him.
The sound wasn't very high, so I didn't hear it clearly.
The soldiers seemed to hesitate, but soon they started to move.
Are you going to withdraw your troops and let us go?
Qi Yingzong was a little surprised.
He knew that as a hostage, he was the life-saving straw for this golden soldier. Only when the golden soldier escaped to a safe place could he be released. But no matter what, he would probably be released.
But then, he saw the elites of the Western Army lined up in a neat queue, and they all raised their divine arm bows.
…
"God-armed archers, array!"
As Fan Cun spoke, he got off his horse and took the divine arm bow from the attendant beside him.
The God's Arm Bow is an offset crossbow, and because the weight is too large, it needs to be raised with the feet, making it impossible to use it on horseback.
"Zhizhizhi..."
The bowstring made a sound, and Fan Cun raised the opened divine arm bow and pointed it forward.
Since traveling through time, he has used this body to fight many battles in the north and south, and he also exercises regularly, so his physical fitness has been greatly improved compared to the weakling at the beginning.
Now it is no longer a matter of riding a horse to charge or drawing a bow and arrow.
The other soldiers naturally looked at the emperor.
Whatever the emperor does, they do.
The emperor asked the bows to be strung, and they strung the bows.
The emperor raised his divine arm bow and pointed it forward, and they also raised their bows and pointed their bow forward.
But then...
The soldiers couldn't even imagine it.
Qi Yingzong couldn't even imagine it.
He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief: "You, what are you going to do! Emperor brother! Make them stop!"
Fan Cun said expressionlessly: "Fire the arrow!"
After that, he pulled the trigger directly!
With a "buzz" sound, the crossbow arrow of the Divine Arm Bow left the string and flew towards Qi Yingzong at an extremely fast speed!
These golden soldiers were obviously stunned. They didn't expect that the other party not only did not hesitate because of this hostage, but instead... directly attacked the hostage?
In fact, these Jin soldiers were basically desperate at this time. They were surrounded by the Qi army on all sides. They were left behind and it was impossible to fight out. They were either prisoners or tied up with Qi Yingzong as hostages. Maybe they would also
was let go.
But now, their last illusions are shattered.
With a "pop" sound, the divine arm bow hit Qi Yingzong in the chest.
The Divine Arm Bow is the most powerful crossbow in today's era and even in later generations. It can even penetrate the heavy armor of Iron Buddha Tu at close range, not to mention that Qi Yingzong did not wear armor at all.
The crossbow arrow not only hit his chest, it even passed through his body, leaving a huge bloody hole in his chest!
Immediately afterwards, thousands of arrows were fired!
A large number of divine arm bows shot out crossbow arrows, falling like rain.
These golden soldiers collapsed in an instant. They originally thought they had a chance of survival, but now, they can only cry and curse, being shot into sieves by the rain of arrows from the sky.
The Qi army fell into a terrible silence.
The late emperor died like this under the arrows...
This matter is a bit hard to evaluate.
Although these soldiers hated Qi Yingzong deeply, they still felt a little complicated when they saw him lying on the ground like a dead dog, vomiting blood.
Fan Cun, on the other hand, did not feel any psychological burden at all.
"What are you doing standing still? Keep chasing!
"No matter who the Jin people use to threaten you, they will not care about you and will kill them without mercy!
"From the moment they entered Jin Camp, they were already dead!"
Fan Cun got on his horse again and rode directly over Qi Yingzong's body.
The gathered soldiers finally reacted and followed Fan Cun in unison.
He didn't even look at Qi Yingzong who was lying on the ground.
At this time, Qi Yingzong had several arrows stuck in his body and his eyes were still wide open, as if he still couldn't believe what he saw before he died.
…
"Damn it, are we still being broken out by the Jin people..."
Liu Fa, covered in blood, rode his war horse to this small mound.
The ground was covered with corpses.
Among the corpses at the top, Liu Fa found the dying Wang Jianxiong.
There were several arrows stuck in his body, and the long knife in his hand had been cut into pieces, but it was still held tightly in his hand.
"General Liu... I held on... for... an hour..."
In Wang Jianxiong's eyes, there was pride and reluctance.
Although more than 10,000 of his soldiers were fighting bloody battles, and although the surrounding King Qin's army was also rushing in desperately, they still failed to stop the Jin people and were forced to break through.
Judging from Liu Fa's situation, the Western Army was already trying its best to attack the Jin people's rear army, fighting all the way to this point, using all their strength.
But in the end, it was still a little bit worse.
There was nothing we could do about it, after all, it was the Jin people's army of 150,000.
The trapped beasts are still fighting, let alone these golden soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles.
Liu Fa held Wang Jianxiong's hand: "I'm sorry, General Wang... you held on for an hour, but I still couldn't arrive within an hour..."
Wang Jianxiong shook his head slightly.
But at this moment, a voice sounded behind Liu Fa.
"General Liu, it's not over yet."
Liu Fa looked back and saw the emperor with golden armor covered in blood standing behind him, looking in the distance in the direction of the golden man's escape.
"I told you not to disarm for three days!
“An hour missing doesn’t count!
"Send the order, all the soldiers of the Western Army and King Qin's Army, come after me!"
…
In the Jingping Incident, after the defeat of the Qi Dynasty, the ruling class headed by Qi Yingzong, Tang Qin and Zhang Jingbang became the puppets of the Jin people, plundering the people of the capital wantonly, creating a scene like a version of hell on earth.
And these things are briefly mentioned in official history.
Only in "Jingping Jiwen", it was recorded in detail.
This book narrates history from the perspective of a small person. Although there is no signature, the author was in the capital at the time and personally experienced this major event.
According to later research, the author of this article may have been an imperial student at that time. He had not yet entered the bureaucratic class at that time, so he wrote to the court several times, but nothing happened.
In this historical slice, the records in the previous part of "Jingping Chronicles" are completely consistent with the original text in history.
On November 17, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River on reconnaissance.
On the 20th, the Jin army arrived at Cenqiaoyi.
On the 27th, the Jin army arrived at the outskirts of the capital.
On the 25th day of the eleventh month, the Liujia Divine Soldiers came out of the city. The Jin army successfully boarded the city and burned the city gates, but they did not dare to go down.
On the 28th, peace was made publicly, and the people of the capital donated money and property to reward the Jin army in order to stop the troops.
On the 30th, Qi Yingzong went to Jinying to discuss peace and returned on the second day of the lunar month.
Until the tenth day of the first month of the second year of Jingping, for more than a month, Qi Yingzong was plundering the city's property and sending women to the Jin camp in order to stop the army.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, Qi Yingzong entered the Jin camp again. But this time, he never returned. He just kept sending messages, asking the city to continue to prepare gold and silver cloth.
However, the subsequent records began to differ greatly from the real history.
On the fourteenth day of the first month of the second year of Jingping, King Yun led the elite of the Western Army to arrive. The Jin people retreated to Moutuogang. King Yun entered the capital, killed Tang Qin, and proclaimed himself emperor.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the prime minister Zhang Jingbang was deposed, the imperial students were summoned to the palace to review the memorials, a prison was set up, the traitors in the court were killed, and they were all beheaded and abandoned in the market.
On February 19th, the Western Army, which had been confronting the Jin people for more than a month, launched an attack and won a great victory. The Jin people returned to Moutuogang.
On February 23, the Jin people broke through to the north, but were blocked by King Qin's army. The Western Army attacked fiercely, and the Jin people had no choice but to withdraw.
On March 28, the Jin soldiers, who had been trapped for more than a month, tried to break out several times but failed. They had no choice but to abandon the looted supplies and break out again.
Three days later, the Jin army retreated to Cenqiaoyi and fled for three consecutive days. They lost more than half of their troops and their morale almost completely collapsed.
Three days later, the Jin army retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River and hurriedly crossed the river. Countless people drowned.
Coincidentally, in real history, the Jin people also withdrew their troops on March 28.
However, before withdrawing their troops, they demanded property for several months, feasted on them, and kidnapped all the royal family and nobles of the Qi Dynasty.
And on the seventh day of March, they sent fifty people into the city to install Zhang Jingbang as emperor.
After withdrawing their troops on the 28th, the Jin soldiers took their time, driving the people who had been captured from the city, and slowly returned to the north. They did not encounter any obstruction along the way.
Since a large number of the abducted women were only walking, they did not walk very fast, and it took ten days to reach Cenqiao Station.
It has to be said that in this historical slice, the potential of the Jin people was greatly stimulated.
The Qi army pursued them without sleep for three whole days, which allowed the Jin people to reach their ultimate potential, and they reached Cenqiaoyi within three days.
Even faster than when they came.
…
Wan Yansheng was already on the verge of collapse.
He couldn't figure it out anyway, why Qi Jun was chasing after him like crazy!
At the beginning, the Jin people retreated while fighting. They fought for four or five hours before they felt that they were finally safe.
However, just as the exhausted Jin soldiers stopped to rest and eat, the Qi army attacked again.
The golden man can only fight again and retreat again.
In the chaos, the Jin people suffered heavy losses. Wanyan Sheng gathered the remaining troops and continued to flee. After two hours, they stopped again to rest.
Because in their opinion, the Qi army had been fighting almost all day and night, so they should take a rest, right?
However, even before the cooking pot was set up, Qi Jun arrived again!
Just like this, the more Wanyan Sheng felt that it was impossible for Qi Jun to come again, the Qi Jun just caught up with him again!
No Jin soldier can figure out why this is.
You know, when they first besieged the capital of Qi Dynasty ten months ago, they retreated all the way to the Yellow River before leaving. The Qin Wang troops outside the capital didn't even dare to fart.
But this time, these Qi troops seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They didn't need to eat or rest, they just rushed forward regardless!
What shocked Wan Yansheng even more was that every time he fought, he could see Liu Fa charging forward, and... the Emperor of Qi in golden armor.
On the third day, we retreated to Cenqiaoyi.
After another three days, we retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River.
At this time, Jin Bing was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog. Not to mention the food, grass and baggage, even the elite personal guards around Wan Yansheng had lost an unknown amount.
Most of the teams had been reorganized several times, and without even a chance to reorganize, they could only hurriedly gather together like a ragtag group and flee north for their lives.
The 150,000 troops that were originally approaching the city now reached the south bank of the Yellow River, with barely more than 50,000 troops left.
But even with these 50,000, Qi Jun seemed to have no intention of giving them any leftover!
After not dismantling their armor for the first three days, the Qi army reached its limit and had to camp to rest. The Jin people, however, could no longer run and also got a short rest.
After Fan Cun and Liu Fa woke up, they once again led their soldiers to chase them all the way to the south bank of the Yellow River.
The Jin people did not have many boats. Under the fierce pursuit of the Qi army, the Jin soldiers who were left on the south bank were either killed or driven into the river, where countless people drowned.
In the end, Wanyan Sheng, with only more than 20,000 remaining soldiers, retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River in a hurry and continued to flee towards the border of the Jin Kingdom.
And this battle was called the "Jingping Victory"!
