When the courage and bloodiness of the Qin army in their bones were fully stimulated, when they were simply for the victory of a battle, when in their eyes, the Chu army became a mobile arsenal and wealth, they were unstoppable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The battle was extremely fierce, and when tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides fought together, the soldiers of the Qin army gradually lost their original fear, anxiety, and grief, and when they were simply in the grandeur of battle, they returned to the level they had had been a few years ago.

Even Qin Feng's death battalion back then was known for not wanting to die, but they also frightened the Qin army's desperate fighting attitude.

So the Chu army was defeated.

In this decisive battle that lasted from morning to midnight, the Chu army did not bear it after all. Even if they were well-equipped, even if they were brave, the scissors had trained them in the training camp that was more terrible than death, but under this crazy pretense of the Qin army, their will eventually collapsed.

An Ruhai crossed the horse and stood on the sword, independent of a mountain beam, behind him, there were only 3,000 people left of the 5,000 guards, and basically everyone was injured, this defeat, he retreated for thirty miles.

And not far behind him, another person was also riding a horse and holding a gun, looking at An Ruhai with the full moon as the background on the mountain beam. The Chu army was defeated on all fronts, and An Ruhai led his personal guards to break off, covering the retreat of the rout, blocking wave after wave of attacks of the Qin army, and avoiding greater defeat.

Bian Wushuang was very sorry, although he won this battle, but the results obtained were extremely limited, because the victory in this battle would not fundamentally change the severe form of the Qin army in the Luoying Mountains, what he gained was the unity of the Qin army, and what he found was the courage that the Qin army lost because of internal strife.

And, of course, a thorough cleaning. The subordinates who were loyal to the Deng clan were almost completely lost in this battle, and the death of more than 20,000 Qin soldiers in exchange for the death of more than 10,000 Chu troops was an extremely cost-effective thing in Bian Wushuang's opinion.

In the battle of Qin and Chu, it was always the Qin soldiers who suffered more serious casualties, but it was often them who won the final victory. After this battle, the Chu army retreated to Jingjing Pass, and the Qin army was stationed in Zhaoying Gorge, and the situation of the two sides returned to the way it was five years ago. It's just that the two sides of the match have changed from Deng Pu and Zuo Lixing at that time to Bian Wushuang and An Ruhai now.

On the battlefield, the Qin army was happily cleaning the battlefield. The first step is not to recover the remains of comrades-in-arms, but to strip the equipment from the dead Chu soldiers, each of which is a good thing for them.

The old sentry who rushed to the front, using his rich experience, survived again, but it looked a little miserable. A knife from a knife hand in the Chu army shaved off half of his scalp and took away one of his ears, but the old sentry stabbed the other party in the stomach with a knife.

The current old sentry commander, whose head was hastily wrapped in a piece of rag and had already been soaked in blood, was laboriously peeling off the armor of a Chu military captain.

The armor of the officers of the Chu army is much better than the armor of the soldiers, it is a sought-after commodity on the battlefield, after the battle, when the Qin army is competing for the spoils of war, it is not calm, because after all, the spoils of war cannot be a copy for each person, some people have it, and naturally some people do not have it. Sometimes, of course, you have to use your fists to divide the winner.

Because everyone knows that if you have a good set of equipment, you will have a much better chance of surviving the next battle. So now on the battlefield, from time to time there will be such a fight, fighting each other tumbling and rolling, of course, at this time, no swords and guns, only fists.

The old sentry focused on peeling off the armor and everything else on the dead captain, but no one came to fight with him, because the old officer's bravery, everyone on the battlefield witnessed it, and the first to break through the Chu army's battle formation was this veteran who was not at all conspicuous before the war, no one thought that he could survive, but in the end, he was bloody and still survived to the end.

The dead lieutenant was about the same size as the old sentry commander, and his armor fit well on his body. The old sentry folded the rest of the things such as clothes, and put away some silver tickets and other bits and pieces, wrapped them into a small package, and carried them on his back.

In this pile of bits and pieces, there was a small bag, and the old sentry reached out several times to pick him up, but inexplicably withdrew his hand halfway. He also had one of these tips a long time ago, and it was given to him by a girl.

But in the end, the girl married someone else, an old man who could feed the family, and that day, he burned the bag.

The old sentry finally picked up the bag and opened it, and there was nothing but a wisp of green silk inside.

The old sentry sighed silently, on the other side of the Luoying Mountains, there must be a girl waiting for the person in front of him. He stuffed the bag into the wound in the stomach of this Chu man who was already naked, and the knife directly disemboweled the officer.

Soon, the corpses of these stripped Chu people will be burned together, so let him take this wisp of green silk and go back together.

The old sentry sentry held his helmet and walked back lonely. The head was wrapped too thickly, and the helmet could not be brought in.

On the top of the city wall, Ma Chao, Bian Wushuang, Bian Wenzhong and a kind of generals of the Thunder Army looked at everything on the battlefield with some dumbfounded, for the soldiers of the Thunder Army, the behavior of the border army to treat the remains of the dead enemy, they were a little difficult to accept, they had often heard such a situation before, but they were far from being shocked by what they had witnessed.

More than 10,000 corpses of the Chu army were all naked and piled up high in a very short period of time. The border soldiers were fetching firewood and grass from all sides and piling them up around the corpses.

"This is the daily life of the border army." Jin Shoude acted as a commentator, he came from the Thunder Army to serve in the border army five years ago, and was one of the few generals of the Thunder Army who was trusted by Deng Pu, and now, in this capacity, acted as a mediator between the Thunder Army and the original border army, because both sides trusted him.

"The border army is too poor, a Qingtian County, it is hard to supply the border army with food, and it is really impossible to come up with more money to equip the soldiers, so the weapons of the border army are really miserable, so snatching the enemy's weapons has become the only way for them to improve their equipment, a big victory five years ago, so that the weapons and equipment of the border army have been greatly improved, otherwise His Highness will see worse today."

Bian Wushuang's face was a little hot, because the poverty of the border army, to a certain extent, was inseparable from him, in those years, but he had been in charge of the imperial court, and it was his policy that Qingtian County supported 100,000 border troops with the power of one county.

He glanced at Ma Chao with some concern.

Ma Chao understood what he meant: "Don't worry, the imperial court will definitely try to provide you with some weapons and equipment in the future, even if someone will interfere with it." ”

Bian Wushuang nodded.

"Have you found the bodies of those people in Yang Zhi?" Ma Chao then asked.

"Found it, some are mutilated." Bian Wenzhong hurriedly responded.

"Put it in the coffin, since General Bian left them a way, then their bodies should be sent back to Qingtian County and handed over to their families, and they should be treated as they should be, unchanged. It can be regarded as appeasing these border troops. They fought, and they were really brave. General Bian, how to make them more loyal to the country is a matter for you in the future. Ma Chao said.

"Your Highness, rest assured." Bian Wushuang nodded repeatedly. "This battle is a big victory, and the next thing is to receive merit and reward, this is an opportunity, Your Highness, this matter is up to you to do it yourself."

Ma Chao thought about it, rewarding merit, this has always been the best opportunity to show grace, Bian Wushuang gave this opportunity to himself, that is to show his loyalty to the royal family, he knows very well that if he doesn't want to live the kind of life of Deng Pu in the past, and doesn't want the border army under his command to still rely on picking up the enemy's armor and collecting the enemy's weapons as his own supplement, he will only have one way to go, and from then on, he will always stand on the side of the royal family and always serve the imperial court.

Once this incident passed, the contradictions between him and the Deng clan could no longer be reconciled, and he had no other way to go except to rely on the royal family to resist the strength of the Deng clan.

Ma Chao smiled, the three carriages of the Qin State, now the Bian family has completely lost power and has become a loyal thug of the royal family, and the operation to dismantle the wall foundation of the Deng family is also progressing extremely smoothly, the southern border army has completely broken away from the grasp of the Deng family, and the other elite of the border army, Xiao Qiang of the Tiger Prison Pass, is also drifting away from the Deng family.

Yongping County of the Ming Kingdom has begun a large-scale road construction, building a city and building a wall, a road from Yongping County to Hugao Pass will be basically formed in the near future, when the time comes, there will be a steady stream of caravans from Hugao Pass into Qin, bypassing Kaiping County, so that Qin's largest external aid can bypass Deng's control, and Xiao Qiang, who has done this, is naturally impossible to have the same heart with Deng.

Xiao Qiang wanted to become another big man in the Qin State and take the place of the Bian family, but he would never be able to do so, except for getting close to the royal family, he couldn't resist the anger of the Deng family.

Ma Chao suddenly felt for the first time that the Qin State was about to be truly in the hands of the royal family.

A few days later, tens of thousands of Qin troops gathered on the flat ground in front of Zhaoying Gorge, where Ma Chao distributed rewards to meritorious soldiers, and the death of a large number of officers freed up many seats, which was also one of the focuses of this reward.

Jin Shoude, a general who was born in thunder but successfully gained a foothold in the border army, deservedly got the most important position, and he became Bian Wushuang's deputy. He is also one of the key figures who connected the Thunder Army with the original border army.

Bian Wenzhong, in this war, showed bravery, so that the border army soldiers were also convinced, and he became the commander of the left army.

Zhong Zhen, the original deputy of Yang Zhi, unexpectedly became the leading general of the Right Army. His presence is mainly to appease the soldiers and horses of the original border.

And the old sentry commander, a veteran who has been the lowest officer for almost his life, was finally promoted because he was the first to break the war of the Chu army, and he was transferred to the Chinese army and became a tooth general.
