Chapter 38: The Strikeback

The soft spring mud was soaked in blood, and the grass turned red. Countless corpses lay in huge pits**, some of them dismembered and broken, and their internal organs exposed. To the north of the huge crater, the corpses were even denser, and they were intertwined with each other and fell, and their faces could not be seen, only the yellow leather armor and the leather jackets, and the broken spears on the corpses.

The Qin army was defeated, the Chu army was victorious, and this battle would change the fate of the entire world. However, the battle was not over yet, and the Qin army after the collapse was not all dispersed - the twelve divisions of the Chu army had a total of 600 columns, and the Qin army had 2,000 columns.

The pursuit of the foot soldiers was not as good as that of the cavalry, especially the Chu army. The Chu army was only 50,000 people, and the Qin army was not only 100,000. After the front was blown up, there were 16 or 70,000 routs, the rout in the middle rushed to the rear, and the rout on both sides bypassed the rear. The rear formation was broken by the Chu army's charging spear, and even if all the 600 Qin soldiers facing the Chu army were killed, there were only 30,000 people.

The Qin army still had at least 150,000 men, perhaps more. These hundreds of thousands of people fled north, in order to escape for their lives, the heavy iron armor and huge armor were all abandoned, the chief spear weighing more than ten catties, the round shield weighing several catties, and the copper coins that entered the Wei land and plundered from the Wei people, all these things that hindered the escape were discarded.

In addition, they also discarded their great general, Meng Tian. Meng Tian finally died by the sword, and his heart Meng Heng and several relatives knelt beside his corpse, crying and wailing. It wasn't until the pursuing Chu pawns approached that the crying Meng Heng shouted: "This is the great general Meng Tian!" ”

Xiong Jing didn't care how quickly the Qin army fled, the pursuit was already within the shogunate's plan. Perhaps, those strong Qin pawns could escape to Daliang and the Yellow River in one go, but most of the Qin pawns could not escape far without food, baggage, or establishment.

Even if they fled to Changping, there was no boat there. The boat that carried them to Changping either advanced with the army to Chenying and anchored on the side of the chasm, or it had withdrawn to the girder. As with the snowy night chase the year before, the Chu army will continue to pursue until they are exhausted.

"Yu Da Ao, the general of the Qin people, Meng Tian, is dead." Ling Qi heard that Meng Tian was dead, and hurriedly came to pray.

"Meng Tian is dead?" Xiong Jing was not surprised, but a little surprised. Three generations of Montessori entered Qin as generals, and both father and son died on the battlefield.

"Yes, yes. His corpse was under the feather. "What the soldiers of Chu want is not the corpse, but the feather face. Li Xin's Yujing was captured by the Chu army, and Meng Tian's Yujing was captured by the Chu army again, and now it is probably Wang Qian's Yujing.

"That's it, let's bury it." Xiong Jing felt that he had won this battle easily and luckily. As soon as the gunpowder exploded, the Qin army collapsed, and when the spear was rushed again, the Qin army collapsed again. Such an easy fight gave him the feeling of standing on thin ice, which was very unreal.

"Yui." Ling rode out. When Xiong Jing rode forward, he saw Yu Jing who was being collected by the soldiers, and also saw that Yu Jing was being placed under Meng Tian. An old man kneeling next to the corpse, saw the phoenix flag waving in the wind, and led people to turn around and thank him.

Li Xin died at the hands of the Chu soldiers, and that was because the Chu soldiers did not treat him as a general. Meng Tian never lived a young life in Chu, and after the defeat, he died with a sword like a Chu general, and the Chu pawns with a deep-rooted sense of hierarchy treated him as a general. Xiong Jing didn't look at Meng Tian much, he just treated the defeated according to custom. Imagine if the gunpowder planted had not exploded, even if the Chu army had won't be so easy.

"After the thick burial, send Meng Tian back to Qin with a boat." Xiong Jing, who turned his head, commanded left and right. And told the King of Qin: General Meng is brave and good at fighting, and has never humiliated his trust. The invincibility of this battle is not as good as the courage, but the skill is not as good as the people. ”

"Respectfully." Belittles one's enemies, many times is belittling oneself, and the people around him are not opposed to Xiong Jing's arrangement. Only Peng Zong was worried: "If the Qin people know that I win with gunpowder......

"That depends on whether the hundreds of thousands of defeated troops can be killed." Xiong Jing smiled. The Qin cavalry was driven away soon after the battle, and only the Qin infantry and the Qin generals saw the explosion. Some of these people will definitely escape, and it is impossible for them all to be killed and captured.

"If you haven't killed them all......" Peng Zong asked. Planting gunpowder in the decisive battle, the enemy was blown up and crushed, and his own side pursued the situation, this feeling was indeed very enjoyable, and Peng Zong was obviously unsatisfied.

"This method can only be used once, and if you use it again, the Qin people will not be fooled." Xiong Jing sighed. He also regretted that this method could only be used once. The key is that the Chu army has too few troops, if the battlefield is a closed river valley like the Battle of Changping, and there are so many white troops, how these 300,000 people were defeated, as long as the Chu army does not say it, the Qin people will never know.

"If it is ......" Peng Zong, Zhuang Wudi, and E Cao, these Simas spoke in unison, and finally Zhuang Wudi said: "If the Qin people attack me with 600,000 people in this battle, the Qin State will be destroyed." ”

"If the person who killed himself with the sword under Jing was Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, wouldn't it be better?" Xiong Jing replied angrily, and glanced at Zhuang Wudi. He also wanted to destroy the Qin State once and for all, but in fact the Chu State failed to do it.

"Yu Daao, all teachers are unwilling to stop eating." When everyone laughed, they ordered the rider to run in the distance. Previously, Xiong Jing issued an order to eat on the spot, and after the meal, the whole army took turns to pursue the Qin army in the form of a marching army.

"Why don't you stop?" Xiong Jing is displeased, is it that he will not obey the military orders after winning the battle?

"He said that the Qin people are running, if our army is ...... to eat" Lingqi relayed the words of the divisions, but he was actually reluctant to suspend the pursuit.

"What's the joke?!" Before Ling Qi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiong Jing, "Quickly stop eating, and after the meal, take turns to pursue in a marching army, and you must not be negligent in advance, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with!" ”

"Yui!" After receiving the order, the cavalry immediately ran north. Looking in the direction he left, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were running in the endless fields, densely packed with a large area. Because it was so far away, it felt like it was just a swarm of colorful ants moving in the rain. The Chu army chased after it with all its might, and there was no queue at all.

In the case that the Li pawns did not keep up, it was impossible for the Chu army to receive prisoners during the pursuit, and some Qin pawns who could not escape were immediately stabbed to death after being chased. The Chu army chased after it, and the Qin army ran quickly. In a panic, even if the Qin army was twice as numerous as the Chu army, they could only flee desperately. What does it mean to be defeated like a mountain, this is a defeat like a mountain.

On the battlefield, Xiong Jing watched Lingqi get farther and farther away, twenty-five miles north of the battlefield, and Fei Jing watched Lingqi get closer and closer. This is the Lingqi he sent to the north to search for Xiang Chao before, but he didn't expect them to come back so soon.

"Report ——!" Ling Qi shouted loudly when he was still a mile or two away, "The Qin people are returning south!" The Qin people returned to the south ......"

"What do you mean?!" Fu Jing's hand shook, and the kettle he was holding fell to the ground, he was drinking water a moment ago.

"The Qin people are returning south! The Qin people returned to the south, ......" Ling Qi was still shouting, but the abandonment heel on one side pointed to the north and said: "The Qin people are coming!" ”

The whole return process is planned. The rest of the troops dragged Xiang Chao, and the left flank of Yu Jing, thirty or forty miles to the west, also dragged back, so that the cavalry could not hinder the Chu army that was attacking the rear of the Qin army. However, the Qin army was defeated in both formations, and in the fields north of the battlefield, either the Qin army was defeated or the pursuing Chu army spearmen.

Fleeing to the front were the Qin generals and the short soldiers led by the generals, and the counterattack of their own cavalry was unbelievable. It's a pity that Yu Fen, who led the army to fight back, saw that they were not the slightest excited, and his heart was cold. The situation was as he had imagined, the infantry had been defeated, and after the army had been routed, they were now fleeing for their lives. Looking around, he didn't see Meng Tian's banner, and he understood that this was a complete rout.

"General Fen......" someone was calling him. Several horsemen greeted him, led by Qiang, who could ride a horse, and Zhao Yong, who was standing on the carriage in the distance, and they all seemed to want him to stop his horse.

"How can you, how can you ......" Yu Fen spoke incoherently, his teeth trembling. As if he hadn't seen the Qiang scurry towards him, his legs clasped around the horse's belly and swept past him. Following him, following his banner, the rest of the cavalry also swept by, and no one stopped his horse.

Why is that? Why is that? Zhao Yong's head was crooked, and eight horses were pulled on the chariot. Yu Fen rushed over like this, and some of the short soldiers were knocked down by them, which made Zhao Yong very unhappy.

"General Fen wants to fight back against Jing Renye." The Qiang was spun by the galloping horsemen and splashed all over the mud. After a rout, he and Zhao Yong fled in front under the escort of short soldiers, and tens of thousands of routs were behind them.

"Fight back against the Jing people?" The defeat made Zhao Yong age by ten years in an instant, and he forced a smile: "Our army has been defeated, what is the use of attacking the Jing people at this time?" ”

"If it's useless, you won't shoot back?" Qiang Yan waved at Zhao Yong, "Please tell the king after General Zhao returns to the Shahai, and thank the king and the first king for their kindness." When he had finished his race, he rode away, not to the north, but to the south with the cavalry.

Rushing past the short soldiers at the front, running for miles and being a black and overwhelming rout. When these frightened birds saw that the rushing horsemen were all naked, they thought they were Chu horses, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly avoided them. Getting closer and closer, he saw the military flag of Yu Fen and found that it was Qin Qi, and immediately cheered. With the protection of the cavalry, they were able to get rid of the pursuit of the Chu army and escape to Changping safely. However, with the experience of encountering generals and short-handed soldiers before, before he could get close to these routs, Yu Fen shouted: "Yanqi! Kill ——! ”

"The general has an order: Yanqi! Kill ——! "The transmission of the military order in the gallop is not clear, but the cavalry behind the main general Yanqi follows the Yanqi, which is something that has been explained before the war, for which the cavalry also deliberately wore the red clothes of the Chu army, but there is no Chu army's huge armor.

Outside the Yan Banner, Yu Fen mercilessly stabbed to death the Qin pawn who was blocking the way in front of him, and so did him, and so did the cavalry beside him. At this time, the cheering rout realized that the comer was not good, and hurriedly dodged to both sides again. The rear followed by more than 10,000 Qin cavalry who were fighting hard to kill the Qin soldiers who were blocking the way like him, and opened the way to rush towards the Chu army who was chasing after him several miles away.
