Chapter 690: The Mourning Soldiers Will Win

Ask for a commuter pass!

When Qin Zuoming received the report, he was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew to Yongzhou with the men and horses of the whole state to take over the command of the North Road army.

Now the biggest problem in the army is the lack of food, the soldiers are low, the capital Xie Zhongheng sent people to Quanzhou to report to Qin Zuoming at the same time, but Hengyang to Yongzhou, the boat from the Xiangjiang River upstream, to go for several days, I am afraid that it will be too late.

After Qin Zuoming took over the army, he immediately made a decision and ordered the army to retreat to Qiyang for food.

The army stretched out, and the carriage in the middle pulled Liu Tichun's coffin, which was wrapped in a military flag.

Since Qin Mu started his army in southern Jiangsu, Great Qin has never had a commander of the army lost. In the first year of Qin Mu's ascension to the throne, he raised troops to march south, but suffered such a heavy setback, the commander fell, the three armies were silent, their expressions were sad, and a mournful voice rose one after another.

In the early spring of Xiaoxiang, the ape is touching and sad to cry at the foot of Yuelu, the wild goose knows that the spring is close to Hengyang, the mountains and cold water are thin everywhere, the east wind does not come, the clouds chase each other on the road of return in the long day, the smoke waves are thousands of songs, and the Songyang Road is not distinguished.

After Jiao Lian learned that the Qin army had retreated, he led the army across the river to pursue, trying to annihilate the more than 10,000 Qin troops.

Du Shi Xie Zhonghengjian sent an army to block the attack, but was rejected by Qin Zuoming.

He rode his horse to the front of the army, drew his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, our Liu Dashuai was unfortunately martyred, his grain and grass were burned, and he was forced to retreat, but this does not mean that we are cowards!" ”

The soldiers of the three armies silently watched Qin Zuoming holding his sword and riding his horse, galloping back and forth in front of the battle, the mountain wind was blowing, and the army was slaughtered, Qin Zuoming's roar made every Qin soldier's heart feel like a stone, and the sense of oppression was very uncomfortable.

"Soldiers, since His Majesty raised troops in southern Jiangxi, my Great Qin Xiongshi swept across Huguang, fought bloody battles in Jingxiang, and even went down to the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains in the north. Turning over the river and the sea, destroying the enemy, invincible, and conquering.

The martyrdom of Liu Dashuai this time was an unprecedented setback for our army, but it was just an accident, not how fierce the enemy was. We retreat temporarily, it's not that we're afraid, we're cowardly!

Now the enemy thinks we are a bully, and intends to chase us down and kill us all. If we just run away, how can we be worthy of the commander who died for his country? What kind of face do you have to go back to see Your Majesty?

Shall we go back and say to His Majesty that we are cowards, that we are vulnerable, that we have been chased by the enemy and fled? No! Ben will be the general of Daqin, willing to die on the battlefield, and will never be a coward who escapes, if you don't dare to fight with Ben General, Ben will be single-handed. It is also necessary to sue the enemy with blood, Great Qin, there are only generals who died in battle, and there are no cowards who escaped! ”

Qin Zuoming galloped back and forth. The iron hooves were clanging, the roar was like thunder, the sound was shocking, and the Qin soldiers were in mourning. Listening to his words, the tragic and heroic feelings came up from the bottom, and the blood rushed to the top of his head. The aura of killing pervades and takes shape, approaching the sky.

"I wish to die with the general!"

"I wish to die with the general!"

"I wish to die with the general!"

Jiao Lian wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate the Qin army, he took tens of thousands of troops, with billowing smoke and dust, and chased them all the way, and they had already learned that the commander of the Qin army had died in battle. Generally speaking, it is rare for the commander to die violently and the army does not collapse immediately, and at this time, it must be that the army has no fighting spirit and low morale.

Jiao Lian's men and horses were in high spirits, and they trotted forward with their strength, and finally caught up with the Qin army on the west side of Lema Peak.

As far as the eye can see, under the Le Ma Peak, a piece of snow is like snow, and a carriage pulls the corpse in the middle, and the spirit flag on the side of the car flutters in the wind. Tens of thousands of Qin troops stood still, like Qin figurines, and the air above the military array seemed to be condensed, and the tragic atmosphere made people palpitate.

Jiao Lian was secretly shocked when he saw it, but when it came to the end, how could he retreat? Moreover, when marching and fighting, the emphasis is on one blow, and if you stop for a long time, your morale will definitely be exhausted.

He immediately ordered the drums of war to be beaten, and the drums rumbled like thunder, shocking people's hearts.

"The enemy has nowhere to run, brothers, make meritorious contributions, the opportunity to pay homage to the prime minister is in front of you, kill!" Jiao Lian roared and rushed towards the Qin army first.

The tens of thousands of horses behind him were like a flood that burst the embankment, surging and swept towards the Qin army.

The banner of hunting, the dull footsteps, brought up the smoke to the sky, and the deafening cry was like a mountain and a sea, so that the beasts ran away, the birds flew in shock, and the sky was dark.

In the Qin army array, Su Su was like snow, swords and guns were in formation, and a tragic roar roared out from all the people, breaking through the stratus clouds and rushing straight into the nine skies:

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son!

In this tragic song, the war drums of the Qin army sounded, and correspondingly, like an angry sea rushing, the soldiers in front of the front faced the sweeping enemy, and took one step, two steps, and three steps heavily, and with each step, the earth was shaken, and the momentum was like a mountain, and the array was like a wall.

The flag waved down, "Shoot!" "The spearmen in front of the Qin army, shoot in unison, woohoo! Woohoo! The rows of tongues of fire erupted with endless rage, and the crossbowmen behind fired salvos at the same time, and a rain of arrows left the string, covering the sky and the sun.

The enemy troops rushing head-on, like wheat in autumn, were cut down in rows, and the rain of blood, the fallen horses, the flying dust, the terrible screams, the dying wails, the tragic scene was thrilling.

The front was blocked, Jiao Lian divided the two wings, like two huge left and right hooks, and went together, and the two wings of the Qin army also killed at the same time, the giant shield formed a wall, up to nearly a zhang, and the enemy's guns and arrows rained like hail on the shield wall, and some crossed the wall, puffing into the body of the Qin army, and the heroic soul was in the sky, and the blood stained the earth.

Qin Zuoming commanded calmly, and the Qin army, with an infinite tragic heart, sacrificed his life and forgot to die to counterattack, the arrow rain was like a dark cloud, flying over the shield wall, shooting towards the enemy, and giving the enemy a fierce counterattack.

The sound of Le Ma Peak was like a tide, and the strength of the two armies was about the same, and soon they collided together, the murderous volley of stratus broke through, and the sun was dim and terrifying.

In the midst of the bloody rain, some Qin soldiers were hit by several arrows, but they still rushed forward bravely, pulled out the arrows on their bodies and sent them into the enemy's chest. Some of the Qin soldiers were cut off legs, blood spurted like blood, still holding the enemy and biting like mad tigers, and some were blind, still roaring and rushing into the enemy formation, swinging their swords and slashing until they died on the battlefield

This is the mourning soldier, and he will win!

Jiao Lian poured into the nest, wanting to annihilate the Qin army, but he never expected that he rushed into a huge meat grinder, and the soldiers and horses under his command became more and more frightened the more they fought, and the Qin army's counterattack was like a blood wave destroying the mountain, killing them on their backs;

The Ming army in front fell one by one, and the Qin army was like a ruthless meat grinder, advancing step by step, without invisible murderous aura like waves, and the Ming army was like a mud man under the big waves, and it would be rolled into mud and sand as soon as it touched.

Jiao Lian's heart was filled with despair, he was about to withdraw his troops, but it was too late, at this time, the soldiers on the left wing were killed, and they turned around and fled, and the left wing collapsed, which immediately caused a chain reaction between the front and the right wing.

The defeat was like a mountain, at this time, the commander had no orders, countless Ming troops turned around and fled, and the Qin army took the opportunity to pursue and slash hard.

At the foot of Lema Peak, it was like an avalanche, crying and screaming, deserters were all over the ground, and they threw away their armor. The mood that the Qin army had been suppressed by grief and indignation was like a burst of artillery fire at this time, sweeping away the defeated enemy.

Under the relentless pursuit of the Qin army, Jiao Lian's men and horses did not even have the opportunity to cross the river and return to Yongzhou, so they could only flee south along the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.

Of its more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, less than 4,000 were able to escape pursuit.

Qin Zuoming crossed the river and occupied Yongzhou in one fell swoop. Jiao Lian originally hoarded grain and grass in the city, but instead solved the urgent need of the Qin army.

After this great victory, the morale of the Qin army, which had been damaged by the death of its commander Liu Tichun, was also restored.

In addition to reporting to the imperial court and sending 200 soldiers to return Liu Tichun's body, Qin Zuoming never talked about retiring the army.

He knew very well that the defeat of Lema Peak would cause a severe blow to the Yongli monarch and ministers, and at this time, it was time to make persistent efforts and launch a stormy attack.

Therefore, as soon as he settled down in Yongzhou, he immediately sent a guerrilla Li Tianzhao to lead 3,000 cavalry and carry two heavy artillery pieces to kill Quanzhou.

He only rested for one day, and then led the army to continue the expedition along the south of the Xiangjiang River, with the goal: Quanzhou, and even Guilin!
