Chapter 922: Attacking with Victory (5)

At this time, the red sun was already rising, and it was noon, and the battle of the Qi army camp was still raging. After fighting in the middle of the night and half the morning, the Qi army's camp wall had been completely lost, and the Han army was trapped in a small camp in the large camp, and the number of the whole army was less than 100,000 at this time.

Lu Xiuhong stood on a chariot, his robe was almost stained red with blood, and at this time, he ignored the blood stains on his body, looked around, and saw that all sides were Han and Qin troops, and the Qi army under his command was surrounded by wind and rain. At this time, everyone knew that the general trend of the Qi army was gone, and the defeat was decided.

Although the Han army also broke through a number of camp walls, the fortifications of the Qi army camp were built very well, and now there are nearly 600 Kuafu soldiers in the Qi army camp, and there are masters such as Lu Xiuhong, Shui Xinyue, and Huo Lieyang to press the formation, so with the efforts of everyone, the Qi army finally held the camp, and did not let the Han army completely break through the camp.

However, on another battlefield, He Hua led the Qin army and broke through the camp of the Chu army very smoothly and achieved a complete victory. Later, Hehua only left a small number of Qin troops to clean up the remaining mess in the Chu army camp, and he immediately led most of the Qin army to the Qi army camp to reinforce the Han army.

Although the Qi army still held the camp at this time, it was already very strong, and after adding the Qin army, the defensive pressure increased sharply, because of the previous attack, although the Han army had more troops than the Qi army, it was not enough to form a comprehensive siege of the Qi army camp, and could only focus on the local area, so the defense of the Qi army was relatively easy, just use the concentration of forces, and hold a few key offensive areas of the Han army.

However, after the Qin army joined, the situation was very different, and the strength of the attack on the Qi army camp was almost doubled, reaching nearly 500,000, so that the Qi army camp could form an all-round attack without dead ends, while the Qi army was a little overstretched and insufficient. Therefore, the camp wall of the Qi army camp was constantly broken through by the Han and Qin troops, and although Lu Xiuhong, Shui Xinyue, Huo Lieyang and others, as well as the soldiers of the Kuafu clan, resisted hard, they were still unable to resist the attack of the Han and Qin army, and the camp wall was gradually completely lost.

However, after all, the Qi army has received strict training from the Han army, not only the personal quality of the soldiers has been greatly improved, but also the tactical literacy has been greatly enhanced, when the camp was set up, it was not the construction of the camp wall, but also attached great importance to the fortification layout and construction inside the camp, so although the camp wall was lost, Lu Xiuhong and others still commanded the Qi army, and fought and retreated, relying on the defense facilities inside the camp to resist the attack of the Han and Qin army, and did not collapse and rout.

On the other hand, at this time, the Qi army was still able to maintain the momentum of resistance and did not completely collapse like the Chu army, also because now the Qi army was caught in the comprehensive encirclement of the Han and Qin coalition forces, and it was difficult to break through and escape, so they could only fight to the death. If the Han and Qin coalition forces had opened a gap at this time, the Qi army might have already been defeated and fled.

When the Han army attacked the Qi army camp before, in addition to the factor of insufficient troops, he still intended to let go of a few gaps, so that the Qi army had a way to escape, but after the Qin army arrived, the plateau changed its tactics, and used the tactics of a comprehensive siege against the Qi army camp, not letting the Qi army escape, the purpose was that the plateau hoped to be able to completely annihilate the Qi army, so as to create convenient conditions for the subsequent war.

Of course, now the Han and Qin coalition forces also have this strength, because now after all, whether it is the strength of the troops, the army, or the morale, the Han and Qin coalition forces are far above the Qi army, so after breaking through the camp wall, although the Qi army relies on the defense facilities inside the camp to resist the attack of the Han and Qin armies, the Han and Qin coalition forces are still steadily advancing, squeezing the space of the Qi army step by step, forcing the Qi army to constantly shrink the position and retreat, and at this time, the position of the Qi army is only a narrow space of about four or five hundred steps in length and width, it can be said that the defeat of the Qi army, It is irretrievable.

At this time, the attack of the Han and Qin coalition forces slowed down a little, and the Qi army also got a sigh of relief, Huo Lieyang said to Lu Xiuhong: "Lord Lu, now the defeat of the Qi army is determined and irreparable, if we are still trapped in the camp, it is only a dead end, so we must not sit still and wait for death now." ”

Lu Xiuhong was also a little at a loss at this time, in fact, just now when the Han army attacked, someone built a yì to Lu Xiuhong and evacuated the camp as soon as possible, but Lu Xiuhong knew that if he evacuated like this, it would cause a complete rout of the Qi army, and then this battle would also end in a complete defeat on the side of the Jiuli tribe.

Lu Xiuhong naturally can't accept such an ending, he must protect the Qi army, and the war at that time can still be maintained, so Lu Xiuhong still has illusions about the battle situation, hoping that the Qi army can hold the camp and let the Han army retreat in difficulty, or wait for the Chu army to come to help, and fight back the Han army with foreign cooperation, maintain the situation, and then retreat calmly. As a result, when the Qin army arrived, the general momentum of the Qi army had gone, but the opportunity to retreat had been lost.

Therefore, hearing Huo Lieyang say this, Lu Xiuhong said blankly: "Now that we have been surrounded, what else can we do?" ”

Shui Xinyue frowned and said, "Lord Lu, although we are surrounded by the Han army, there are still more than four hundred soldiers of the Kuafu clan, plus a few of us, it is not impossible to break through." ”

Huo Blazing Sun also said: "And the Lord can also give an order to order the Qi army to break through in an all-round way and cause chaos, so that our chances of breaking through will be greater." ”

When Lu Xiuhong heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, now the Qi army still has nearly 100,000 troops, if the order is given to let the Qi army break through in an all-round way, although there will not be many troops that can break through, but it can make the Han and Qin coalition forces tired and consume great energy, and in this way, himself, Shui Xinyue, Huo Lieyang and others can lead more than 400 Kuafu clan troops to rely on their strong combat effectiveness, and the chance of breaking out of the encirclement is still very great.

And at this time, of course Lu Xiuhong will not think about saving the Qi army, after all, he is already difficult to protect himself, and the first thing is to consider saving his life. Therefore, the construction of the water heart moon and the flaming sun is also a feasible plan.

But at this moment, I saw dozens of cavalry running out of the array of the Han and Qin coalition forces, stopping at a distance of more than 100 steps from the Qi army, and then shouted in unison: "Listen to the Qi army, now the Chu army has been defeated by our army, and now you are under siege, and if you continue to fight, there is only one way to die, but the king of Han has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to let you die here, so that your parents will lose your children, your daughters will lose your father, and the whole family will mourn, so we have specially ordered us to pass the word, if you abandon the imperial armor and surrender in battle, you can save your life, and you can also be let go back to reunite with your family in the future." , you have to do it yourself, don't make mistakes. ”

In other directions, there were also Han troops who shouted to the Qi army, and the words were basically the same, all of them persuaded the Qi army to surrender, so almost all the Qi troops heard the shouts of the Han army.

In the Qi army array, a riot was immediately triggered, and it can be said that the soldiers of the Qi army were a little moved after hearing this.

Lu Xiuhong, Shui Xinyue, Huo Lieyang and others all felt bad, because they all knew that the Qi army was originally trained by the Han army, and the two sides had fought side by side for a period of time before, so the soldiers of the Qi army generally had a good impression of the Han army, and it was at this time that the defeat of the Qi army was decided, and if the battle continued, there would only be a result of the annihilation of the whole army, and at this time, the Han army came to persuade the Qi army to surrender, which can be said to be quite convincing, and it can completely disintegrate the military spirit of the Qi army.

But at this time, no one has a good way, because the overall situation has been determined, irretrievable, and Shui Xinyue and Huo Lieyang are not generals of the Qi army, so naturally they can't persuade and mobilize the Qi army not to surrender and continue to resist, Lu Xiuhong is a member of the Qi army in the name, but his identity is only Tian Kezang's retainer, and he is not an official official of Qi State, although Tian Kezang's stand-in is still in the army, but Lu Xiuhong knows that because Qi changed course first and betrayed the Three Kingdoms, plus the current war is unfavorable, Tian Kezang's prestige in the Qi army plummeted, and all kinds of behaviors made many Qi army officers and soldiers suspicious of him.

And just when everyone was at a loss, I saw a Qi soldier throw down the spear in his hand, take off his helmet, throw it to the ground, and run in the direction of the Han army, waving his hands while running, shouting: "I surrender, I want to surrender." ”

In fact, at this time, many Qi soldiers were ready to move, so as long as there was a person who took the lead, it would be like toppling a domino, which immediately triggered a chain effect, and before the first Qi soldiers who surrendered ran ten steps, dozens of Qi soldiers immediately threw away their weapons and helmets, shouting "Surrender, run to the array of the Han and Qin coalition forces." And soon it led to more surrenders.

As a result, the surrendered Qi soldiers were like a flood that opened the floodgates, spreading rapidly, and almost all the Qi soldiers chose to surrender to the Han and Qin coalition forces. After all, the ending is very clear, if you continue to fight, you will die, and surrender can still have a way to live.

And the Han army also immediately gave way to more than ten passages in the array, allowing the surrendered Qi soldiers to pass through guò, and there were still people to maintain order, isolating the few Qi soldiers who were still holding weapons, only until they also threw down their weapons, and then assembled in armor at the designated place of the Han army, while the other Han and Qin soldiers were still in strict formation.

Lu Xiuhong, Shui Xinyue, Huo Lieyang and others were also stunned at this time, although they also expected that most of the Qi troops would surrender, but they didn't expect that it was not most of them, but all the Qi troops. Now in addition to the army of the Kuafu clan, there are only a small number of Tian Kezang's private troops left, all of which add up to more than 1,000 people, and there are weapons such as guns, swords, halberds, helmets, armor, flags and other things left everywhere.
