Qin Gong

"The Qin army was defeated! Kill!!!"

"The Qin army is defeated, chase!"

Amid shouts of joy, the Chu army marched towards the Qin army on the battlefield. The battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke. Countless flags and long poles were stuck on the ground in various shapes. At a glance, countless corpses dyed the entire battlefield red, and bloody blades were everywhere.

Like a sea of ​​​​people, the Chu soldiers rushed towards the Qin army one after another, each with a ferocious expression. On this day, they fought with the Qin army for a whole day, and the anger in their hearts completely broke out after the Qin army was defeated, and The murderous intention increased.

"Whoever captures the head of a general of the Qin army will resign and be rewarded with a hundred gold coins; whoever captures the leader of the Qin army alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

Among the Chu army, under the protection of a group of Chu army generals, the young master Xiong Qi, who was wearing armor, gave orders with a proud look on his face. Looking at the battlefield in the distance, the Qin army that had been fighting for a day had been defeated. Xiong Qi was heartbroken. Full of excitement.

Now that he has become the prince of the Chu Kingdom, Xiong Qi is also eager to make achievements, establish a reputation for himself, and gain the support of hundreds of officials and various noble families in the Chu Kingdom.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

When the young Chu generals heard what Young Master Xiong Qi said, they looked at each other, and then led their subordinates to kill the Qin army.

Only some older Chu generals, with their status and background, were past the age of eager to obtain the head of the Qin army's general, so they rode their war horses to protect the young master Xiong Qi.

"Son..."

General Gongsun Ji of Chu State looked at General Qin State in the distance with a worried look on his face. However, he remembered that he had said it a long time ago and was refuted by Xiong Qi. In the end, Gongsun Ji endured it.

Chu General Gongsun Ji also didn't understand why the Qin army rashly crossed the river to confront the Chu army. What was even more strange was that Gongsun Ji did not see any iron cavalry or side cavalry in the Qin army.

They were two elite cavalrymen under Qin General Bai Yan, who were always brave and good at fighting.

Although Bai Yan was not in Qufu, the leader of the Qin army rashly led his troops across the river without any support from the side cavalry or cavalry?
The more Gongsun Ji thought about it, the more worried he became.

Looking at Gongsun Ji, Jing Yu, the son of veteran general Jing Xia, and other Chu generals with proud faces, Gongsun Ji felt that he was overthinking.

perhaps……

As Gongsun Ji and Jing Yu said, this Qin army probably just wanted to test the situation. Although there were no iron cavalry or side cavalry, this Qin army was not like new soldiers, and it should not be the soldiers of Wei who surrendered to Qin.

Those ragtag groups would definitely not be able to withstand the Chu army for so long, and even cause so many casualties to the Chu army.

Moreover, the attack and defense of this Qin army are orderly. There is no doubt that the leader of this Qin army is an unauthorized general.

"Qin Jun is nothing more than that!"

Young Master Xiong Qi's voice sounded again. When the other Chu generals heard this, they looked at Xiong Qi and couldn't help but nod.

When they first learned that the Qin army was crossing the river, most of the Chu generals remembered General Xiang Yan's instructions and believed that they should stand firm without fighting. Only the young masters Xiong Qi and Jing Yu advocated sending troops.

The reason is that General Xiang Yan has already gone to Pingyu. Not to mention that the Qin army didn't know, even if he knew, it was too late. What's more, when the news came, Bai Yan was not in Qufu and had already gone to escort Qi Concubine Guichan back to Qi. Daliang failed to assassinate Concubine Qi, but he happened to help them. After Bai Yan learned of Daliang's assassination, he would definitely focus on Concubine Qi's safety. As long as they could defeat the Qin army crossing the river, what could Bai Yan do?

Even if it is known that General Xiang Yan is not here at the Chu army camp, so what? If the news is sent to Bai Yan, when Bai Yan sees the news and rushes back to Qufu to plan an attack, General Xiang Yan has already succeeded. Bai Yan's attack will only make Bai Yan fall into a trap.

"Jing Yu, after the Qin army is defeated, news of a great victory comes from General Xiang Yan. I will definitely cross the river and surround Bai Yan with Lord Jing Qi. At that time, I will ask you to avenge the old general with your own hands! "

Young Master Xiong Qi saw that the Chu army had completely dispersed the Qin army's camp and that the victory was certain, so he turned to look at Jing Yu and promised softly.

"Thank you so much, Master. On behalf of the Jing family, Jing Yu would like to thank you for your great kindness!"

Jing Yu looked at Young Master Xiong Qi excitedly.

When the other Chu generals saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other silently. They all knew that this was Xiong Qi wooing the Jing family, and also taking the opportunity to promote the Jing family of the Jingyu family. After the death of the old general Jing Xia, the Jingyu family , they completely lost their support. Although they had fiefdoms, their power in court and military power was not as good as before. This was also why Jingyu's lineage used their connections so crazily to get the King of Chu to send troops.

The brothers of Jing Yu's lineage all need to make meritorious service as early as possible before the influence of their connections fades away, enter the court of Chu State, and recover from the death of the old general in battle as soon as possible.

They all know this, and Young Master Xiong Qi also knows this.

Nowadays, King Chu Chu's accession to the throne is quite controversial, and the situation in Chu State is not stable. This is why Xiong Fuchu agreed to send troops to attack Qufu, and also sent his son Xiong Qi as deputy general.

The Chu State has maintained this habit for hundreds of years. The best way for the king of Chu to secure his throne is to send troops to attack other vassal states. After winning and seizing the territory, the big families in Chu will be rewarded and given official positions. With the fiefdom, the King of Chu gained fame and the stability of the throne, all existing problems would become harmonious in a win-win situation, and even any problems would no longer be a problem.

"Report!!! General! It's bad, it's bad! The Qin army was discovered in the direction of Xuecheng!!!"

"Report! General, the Qin army has been found in the direction of Li Gu!"

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Chu State came hurriedly on horseback to report. The generals of the Chu State, who were still planning to go back to celebrate after the great victory, all looked astonished.

what?
Are there Qin troops in the direction of Xuecheng and Ligu?
How can this be?Xuecheng and Ligu clearly have defenders there, how could the Qin army come and kill them?
"No, sir, withdraw your troops immediately!"

Gongsun Ji also looked surprised. After coming back to his senses, he looked at the battlefield in the distance and saw all the Chu army fighting with the Qin soldiers. A frightening thought emerged in his mind.

This Qin army is a trap!
for them...

Encirclement?Ruining the city! ! !
Gongsun Ji kept sweating on his back, so cruel!Then Bai Yan, is he really not the queen of Bai Qi?
Not caring so much, Gongsun Ji turned to look at Young Master Xiong Qi who looked in disbelief.

"Young Master, leave quickly. We must not let the Qin army encircle us. We must retreat first to prevent the Qin army from attacking Lancheng from behind!"

Gongsun Ji looked at Xiong Qi's expression of disbelief and urged him again. Now the Chu army is still fighting. Facing the encirclement of the Qin army, their Chu army is already exhausted. By then, there is only one way to die.

What worries Gongsun Ji even more is the direction of Lancheng, which is the Chu army's only retreat. Once Lancheng is lost, their Chu army will probably be surrounded by the Qin army.

"Please give me an order to withdraw your troops immediately!!!"

The other Chu generals also came to their senses and urged.

Young Master Xiong Qi glanced around, sighed, and then looked at the battlefield in the distance. He was still unwilling to accept it. It was obvious that their Chu army had won a great victory. They would definitely defeat the Qin army before sunset. By then, the entire Chu army would be defeated. Everyone in the country will learn about his victory over the Chu army, and his father, General Xiang Yan, and others will also praise him with relief.

Damn!

Just a little bit closer!He will be able to command the Chu army and achieve great achievements.

"Pass my order, the whole army retreats, General Gongsun Ji is responsible for covering the retreat of the army!"

Young Master Xiong Qi thought that the Qin troops from Ligu and Xuecheng had arrived, and he was not a fool. After hesitating for a few moments, no matter how unwilling he felt, he could only give the order, and then turned his horses and retreated towards Lancheng.

In the eyes of Young Master Xiong Qi, although the Qin army is coming from the direction of Xuecheng and Ligu, there is no need to worry too much. They only need to retreat to Lancheng and garrison. Even if the Qin army wants to attack, it will not be that easy.What's more, there is General Jingzhi commanding the army in Xicheng. After getting the news, General Jingzhi will definitely send troops to come for reinforcements.

After General Xiang Yan defeats the Qin army, the Qin army in Wei will definitely return to defend Qin immediately. Bai Yan in Qufu and all his subordinates will be isolated and helpless.

Hirano.

The Chu soldiers with excited faces were holding long swords and stabbing at the panicked Qin soldiers. Seeing more and more Chu soldiers charging around, each of the Chu soldiers became more and more excited, especially Seeing the Qin soldiers becoming more and more panicked and frightened, their expressions became more ferocious.

Persimmons pick on the weak. Facing the weak, the dominant side is often more unforgiving. Whether it is the soldiers of Chu or the soldiers of Qin, or Wei, Qi, Zhao, Yan, and Han, it is all the same. It is nothing more than human nature. .

"what!"

The soldiers of the Chu State, whose faces were covered with blood, watched as the Changge in their hands stabbed the Qin soldiers in the abdomen. They pulled out the spears with a ferocious expression. Seeing the Qin soldiers slowly falling to the ground, the Chu soldiers quickly picked up the Changge again and struck. He stabbed Qin Zu in the face.

With the Qin soldiers completely dead and lying motionless in a pool of blood, they gave up and then looked at the other Qin soldiers.

However, at this time, the war drums behind him suddenly changed, from impassioned war drums to loud drum beats.

The trained soldiers of the Chu army knew almost as soon as they heard it that it was the sound of drums for withdrawal.

what happened?

All the soldiers of the Chu army who were holding weapons and fighting with the Qin soldiers stopped and turned their heads in astonishment. Not only the soldiers of the Chu army, but also the generals of the Chu army and the soldiers of the governor also turned their heads and looked at him in confusion. The direction of the army.

But as soon as I saw the phalanx of the main general in the Chu army, not only the generals had turned their horses and left, but also the soldiers of all the other phalanxes were also retreating towards the camp. This scene made all the Chu soldiers I was dumbfounded.

Why retreat?

It was clear that they were in the midst of a great victory, and the Qin army was already on the verge of defeat.

"withdraw!!!"

Some generals of the Chu army who were leading troops on horseback, most of them were princes of various noble clans. At this time, they saw that their elders or General Shibo had retreated. In panic, they quickly turned around and left on horseback with their family members.

It would have been better not to withdraw. As the Chu army retreated, the Qin soldiers who had been defeated and were constantly being hunted had some fierce men covered in blood. They killed many Chu soldiers with sharp blades in their hands. Now they looked at the Chu army. They began to retreat. When they were being chased and killed, they saw that the Chu soldiers in front of them had no backup. They shouted angrily and stepped forward to kill the Chu soldiers one after another.

In an instant.

The Chu army, which was originally high on the battlefield, began to become timid in the face of Qin's counterattack. After seeing that the army had retreated, the soldiers of the Chu army who had no intention of fighting naturally did not want to and did not dare to stay any longer. They began to retreat one after another. The Chu soldiers in front saw the people behind them starting to retreat, and then saw the Qin soldiers coming again with weapons, and a touch of fear instinctively emerged in their hearts.

The situation changed drastically in an instant. The war drums of the Qin army's attack sounded again. All the Qin army generals who had just been wandering around led their trusted generals and soldiers to take the lead in killing the Chu army.

On the plain, the soldiers of Chu who had just been slashing and killing Qin soldiers with long swords were suddenly caught up by Qin soldiers one after another on the plain, and they were slashed to the ground with random swords. Moreover, those who had been killed so timidly Qin's soldiers, now that the situation has turned upside down, are almost madly killing Chu's soldiers to vent their anger.

The timidity just now turned into madness in an instant, and it seemed that he wanted to return his capital and profits to the soldiers of Chu.

On the battlefield, even surrender is not an easy thing, especially after fighting for a long time, everyone has already killed each other and formed a deadly feud. You must know that on the side of Qin Zu, Wei Zu brought people he knew. On the battlefield, although defeat is easy, they all share the same hatred of the enemy.

The people the Chu soldiers had just killed were basically people they knew from their hometown, and some were even relatives. This made all the Qin soldiers red-eyed. As soon as they saw the Chu soldiers, they would swarm forward and hack them to death. He didn't care about letting the blood splash on his body.

Even when they finally saw the arrows coming, many Qin soldiers became red-eyed, and regardless of it, they continued to kill each Chu soldier to vent their anger. They did not fall to the ground until they were killed by the arrows.

In the direction of Rancheng.

Some injured soldiers of the Chu army kept galloping on their horses, looking behind them in horror. After a long time, when they saw the Chu army, they reined in their horses.

"General, the Qin army's cavalry has arrived!"

The leading Chu army general was originally responsible for guarding the camp, but when the Qin army's cavalry came to kill them, they could not hold on. They had to abandon the camp and hurriedly came to the Chu army.

After all, the Chu State has no less than [-] troops, and they will definitely be able to repel the Qin Army's cavalry.

"What, the Qin army's cavalry has already attacked the camp? How many people are there?"

Young Master Xiong Qi was riding on horseback. He was confused when he saw the appearance of these generals coming from the camp. But when he heard that the Qin Army's cavalry had actually come from the camp, his pupils shrank and he He looked at the general with a puzzled face.

How can this be?If the Qin army wants to go back to the camp from other places, no matter which direction they go from, they must pass through Lancheng and Xiyi.

How could the Qin army have already reached the camp?
"Reporting to the general, I don't know the exact number, but it will definitely not be less than 3!"

The general reported to the young master Xiong Qi.

As soon as these words came out, Young Master Xiong Qi's face turned pale in an instant. He opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of the camp in panic. At this time, other generals of the Chu State also looked at each other with frightened faces.

"No, sir, we are surrounded!"

"How can this be good?"

The Chu generals looked at Master Xiong Qi with panic in their eyes, and the young nobles were even more unbearable, with fear clearly showing on their faces.

However, at this time, before Young Master Xiong Qi could speak, everyone could vaguely see that a dense Qin army in the direction of Lancheng had emerged from the official road in the dense forest on the hill.

"Set up the formation! Set up the formation!!!"

This scene made all the Chu generals give orders in panic.

In an instant, the Chu generals in phalanxes came to the front of these Chu generals one by one, forming defensive phalanxes. Shields were erected, and long swords were densely pointing at the outgoing sea of ​​Qin soldiers. .

on the plain.

Regardless of whether they were still covering the retreat, or still retreating, and all the Chu army was in defensive formations, they saw the cavalry pouring out of the valley in the distance, spreading all over the southern plains, galloping side by side, looking at the army of cavalry. In the middle, countless black flags with the word Qin fluttered.

Despair and frightened expressions appeared in the hearts of every Chu soldier, almost filling the faces of every Chu soldier.

Young Master Xiong Qi was riding on his horse, looking at the densely packed Qin cavalry in the distance. He slowly stopped. At a glance, he saw that the Qin cavalry, which was like a sea of ​​people, blocked the way to the entire south, covering the plains of the south. This man had grown up since he was a child. The young master, who had no worries about food and clothing, finally became afraid at this time.

From the beginning to the end, the young master Xiong Qi did not understand why all the Qin army crossed the river to attack the Chu army when Bai Yan was clearly not in Qufu.

What puzzled the young master Xiong Qi even more was how the Chu army in Lancheng and Xiyi could let the Qin army's iron cavalry come over.
