Cultivation of empire in the world of immortality
Chapter 62: The Righteous King is destroyed
The wind was very strong on the grassland at night, and some medium-sized tribes began to pack up their belongings, dismantle tents, and drive cattle and horses as hard as they could. The slow-moving sheep were temporarily put down. The secretary of the Qin army had registered the number of livestock for them and promised that the Qin army would provide them with supplies if they walked south.
Seeing this, some small tribes also joined the team fleeing south. They still believed in the promises of the secretaries. Some middle-level tribes who were waiting and watching saw someone starting to take action, and they also started to act. More and more people were packing their things, and the noise became louder and louder. This alerted King Youxian's cronies and rushed to the military camp on horseback. Due to the 'force' of the Qin army, there had to be a distance of more than fifty kilometers between King Youxian's army and his tribe.
In the middle of the night, King Youxian received a report from his cronies, saying that someone in the rear had fled south. King Youxian hurriedly got up from his misfortune and ordered to the general under Wang Ting, "Brother Lebu Hua, please quickly bring ten thousand people to stop the traitors. Those who insist on not returning are at your disposal."
"Obey my king." After receiving the order, Lebu Hua Ge fired up more than 10,000 cavalry and rushed to the rear. His big movement was caught by the Qin army's flying cavalry. After reporting the news, a brigade of the Second Army on standby and a team of 100 flying cavalry immediately stepped forward to stop him. They had already received the letter from the clerk, so they were prepared in advance.
When King Youxian sent out troops, the Qin army could respond immediately. When they caught up with the fleeing tribesmen in the south with about 20 kilometers to go, the Qin army began to attack the more than 10,000 cavalry. The Qin army had three axes and mounted archers to chase them. There were flying cavalry flying rockets for lighting, and the Qin army's accuracy at night was not much worse than during the day. But for the Beiyuan cavalry, facing the Qin army at night was no different than meeting the God of Death. Catching them blind at night left them powerless and useless. Seeing the Qin army's arrows raining down, half of the cavalry who had just joined the army fled immediately. The leading general, Hua Ge, could no longer restrain his men. Only his own bodyguards, more than a thousand people, surrounded him. Seeing that the Qin army was intensifying its attack on them, he hurriedly ordered them to disperse and return and meet at the military camp.
Seeing that the Qin army had blocked the pursuers, everyone in the lower part of the south couldn't help but quicken their pace. The tribes who were watching and still hesitating saw that King Youxian's army was defeated again, and they also joined the ranks of fleeing south. Nearly half of the tribesmen began to go south.
King Youxian saw Lebu Hua Ge defeated and fled back. He was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but the generals on his left and right persuaded him. They have always been defeated, and they were not held accountable in the past. If they are held accountable now, it will definitely cause chaos in the military morale, and it will also affect their own vital interests, so the generals will block it.
King Youxian saw that the decisive battle was imminent and it would be unfavorable to kill the general, so he agreed to let him plead guilty and perform meritorious service. King Youxian sent another 20,000 troops. He hoped to hold back more Qin troops, and decided to launch a general attack after dawn. Whether it would succeed or not depends on God's will. But he also asked the concubines to bring valuable things.
After the 20,000 people left the camp, they marched incessantly, and even small groups escaped halfway. By the time the generals reacted, more than 5,000 people had escaped. He hurriedly sent his personal guards to replace the commanders of the New Army at all levels, but this made more than 10,000 New Army officers and soldiers think that he wanted to annex them, and they refused to obey. After the idea that was difficult to express was made clear, the general no longer concealed anything and ordered his guards to enforce the order to change the general. Riots were inevitable, and both sides started shouting for killing. One side had more people and the other side had stronger fighting power, and it was hard to separate them for a while.
The Qin army originally wanted to give their cavalry a fierce attack, but unexpectedly they went to do it themselves. The brigade commander of the Qin Army decided to force the friendly troops to surrender and snipe the escapees.
The two parties who were fighting heard the rumble of horse hooves and instinctively realized that this was an army of more than 10,000 people, traveling from south to north, most likely the Qin army. One party is overjoyed, and the other party is anxious, so they strike harder. This also starts a vicious cycle. If you strike harder, I will strike harder, and the two parties refuse to give in to each other.
The Qin army surrounded both sides of the melee and shouted in unison, "Dismount and surrender. If you surrender, you will not be killed. If you resist, you will be killed without mercy."
Beiyuan's new army heard that Hou Zhangpi had dismounted. Seeing that those who were unwilling to dismount were still concentrating, the Qin army also began to attack at close range. This made General Beiyuan a little happy. The Qin Army's light cavalry, who were not good at close combat, actually fought close to each other. It was really a God-given opportunity. He worked hard and asked his warriors to teach the Qin Army how to fight on horseback.
The Qin army was on horseback, leaning forward, with three horses in a group and ten groups in a row. There was a distance, but they could support each other. When three Tang knives fought against one scimitar, the Qin army easily eliminated one enemy and then moved on to the next target.
The Beiyuan cavalry who did not accept the surrender were pushed sideways like this. The Beiyuan general who was full of confidence just now was also confused at this time. How could the "former compatriots" who had just switched to the Qin army without an umbrella be able to fight? Seeing that the situation was unexpected, he fled to the military camp with his personal guards. Only more than two thousand Beiyuan cavalry broke out, and most of the rest surrendered.
For more than two hours before dawn, King Youxian did not send any more troops. The results of this battle were good. More than 15,000 people surrendered, and some were killed. Every Qin army who went to battle gained a lot of military glory.
King Youxian, who had had a good sleep, was still a little out of sorts when he woke up in the morning, and the pre-war meeting was half-hearted. After deciding on the left and right central armies, King Youxian once again promised the generals their share of the post-war division. Especially for the Northern Barbarian reinforcements, five thousand people shared one-third of the cake, which made many generals murmur.
After the pre-game meeting, the head coach usually visits one or two teams to boost morale. But King Youxian was self-aware. Now that he had broken the hearts of his subordinates, he would not go through the process and directly ordered a sumptuous meal.
On the Qin army's side, they learned from Xizuo that King Youxian would launch a general offensive this morning. Now, the Second Army and supporting troops are ready for the decisive battle, totaling more than 30,000 people.
After intense discussions among the generals of the Qin army, they came up with a rough plan. The strength of the enemy and our forces in this battle is 4:1, and we need to change the previous combat methods. First, we must mobilize the enemy and break the enemy's formation if necessary. Second, we must divide the enemy and finally defeat them one by one. Third, we must conduct joint operations and not give the enemy a chance to encircle us. The Qin army was only divided into a first wave of people, a second wave of people, a third wave of people, and a standing reserve of people.
After both had a big meal, the two sides lined up five kilometers away from each other, both sizing up each other. It's just that the Qin army is full of fighting spirit, while the Beiyuan side is solemn.
The first to launch the attack were the three flying cavalry regiments of the Qin Army, who tested the enemy's right army.
Since the right army's Zheng Ding Chong army accounted for a large proportion, the formation of King Shixian's troops had not been completed for a long time, which allowed the Qin army to find a fighter opportunity. The first wave of attacks rushed away like a savage beast, dodging the rain of arrows from the Beiyuan cavalry, and swarmed in through the gap, like a splash of hot oil pouring into the army, exploding violently in the military formation. The Qin Army's second wave of attack echelons also followed closely behind, continuing to expand their results. Some flying cavalry were also sent out in the air to guide them, avoiding those small military formations that were temporarily hard, and trying not to slow down their assault in the enemy formation.
When King Youxian saw the Qin army breaking into the formation, he quickly asked his general to lead an army of 50,000 to surround and annihilate it. More Beiyuan cavalry were surrounding the two waves of Qin troops in the formation, some were fleeing and some were chasing.
Under the fierce attack of the Qin army, the Beiyuan cavalry formation was penetrated for the first time. Seeing a large group of Beiyuan cavalry chasing after them, the Qin army led the enemy to a distance and then turned around and charged again.
Seeing the Qin army suddenly turning around, some Beiyuan cavalry hurriedly raised their bows and fired arrows, regardless of whether the enemy was within shooting range. Seeing the Qin army's sabers coming at them, the Beiyuan cavalry chasing the enemy in front hurriedly dispersed to both sides, leaving the unknown cavalry behind in front of the Qin army's front. In the moment of passing by, Qin soldiers in groups of two attacked enemies one after another. The Beiyuan cavalry were knocked down one by one and harvested like grass on the grassland.
King Youxian ordered the central army and the left army to attack the Qin army. Upon seeing this, the third wave rushed towards the enemy's left army. The left army of Beiyuan Cavalry couldn't help but disperse their formation when they saw the general. Now they could not keep up with the speed of the central army. As for You Xian Wang's army, they were the targets of the flying cavalry, and they were the ones who suffered the most.
As soon as the Zuo Army and the Qin Army clashed, they realized the pain of their predecessors. Even if they were defeated in cavalry and shooting, they were even more unbearable in close combat. This was a particularly fatal psychological blow to the enemy generals. After a hard fight, the captain led his men out of the formation and fled into the distance. The power of the herd effect is huge. For the Beiyuan Cavalry, an army with weak military discipline, escape is also a kind of battle. The left army is even worse than the right army. In two rounds, the nearly 50,000-strong army collapsed, losing all will to fight and only focusing on escaping for their lives.
The collapse of the Left Army spread to the Right Army. The Right Army, which had been turned upside down by the two waves of Qin troops, saw the Left Army fleeing. The Right Army who did not know why also fled, and some of them dismounted and surrendered. The Beiyuan cavalry, which was chasing the Qin army and was dispersed by the backlash, saw that there was nothing they could do and fled into the distance.
After the Qin army charged, only King Youxian's 50,000-strong Chinese army and 5,000 Northern barbarian heavy cavalry were left on the battlefield. Akayev was also panicked. He didn't expect that the Beiyuan people fled with nearly 100,000 cavalry as soon as the fight began. Is this still the nomadic empire where everyone was a soldier? He was not sure of escaping from the clutches of the Qin army during the day. He was ready to blackmail King Youxian and ask him to order his subordinates to fight to the death with the Qin army. Akayev and a hundred wolf cavalry were blocked by King Youxian's personal guards, so he had no choice but to lead a few personal guards to find King Youxian.
"King Youxian, we still have 50,000 troops. We can still fight. Do you want to give up everything?" Akayev looked at the confused expression of King Youxian on the horse and said loudly.
"Of course I don't want to, but what can I do?" King Youxian came back to his senses and said angrily.
"I will command the battle, and you can succeed as your king after the war. I just want to go back safely," Akayev suggested.
"Your Majesty, no! The army is your only support. It's taboo to change generals before a war. It's taboo." The general next to him immediately stopped him.
King Youxian saw that the Qin and Han Dynasties had formed a battle formation again, and his own cavalry no longer charged, but also formed a formation. He lowered his head and thought indecisively.
More than a dozen cavalrymen ran out of the Qin army's formation. Qin Bei and Qin Zhong, commanders of the Second Army, came between the two armies under the protection of the third-level master Fangzhong.
Qin Bei was so angry that he shouted, "The commander of the Qin army specially invited King Youxian to come out for a dialogue."
Seeing the arrival of the Qin army, King Youxian had not yet spoken, but Akayev became anxious. He hurriedly advised, "King Youxian, you must not go. The Qin army is insidious and cunning, so you must be on guard against it." However, King Youxian's generals became silent.
"Why are I afraid of what he will do to my 50,000-strong army? My personal guards will follow me. I want to see what the yellow-haired commander is capable of." King Youxian also wanted to explore the Qin army. After saying that, he took a Daduhou and a hundred personal guards and went out into battle.
Seeing King Youxian come out, Qin Bei shouted loudly, "Your Majesty King Youxian, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of our military commander. My military commander told me to treat him well, Lord Taishan. Princess Youxian and the second wife Qulutana also asked me to I wish to report that you are safe. The princess is now a member of the Executive Yuan of the Qin Army. Our two departments are now one. Please think carefully about the tribe, King Youxian. Our Qin Army will protect the king's glory and wealth and treat King Youxian's people well. "
The Beiyuan cavalry were very excited when they heard this. From behind, Akayev saw that the fighting spirit of the Beiyuan generals around him had dropped sharply, and he hurriedly returned to his own army. He wanted to do something big.
King Youxian saw that the commander of the Qin army was too young to be ridiculous, and thought of the younger son-in-law of the army commander, and that his defeat was all due to that boy.
"Why don't your military leaders come to meet my father-in-law? Do you look down on me? Or do you mean that he doesn't take my rightful king's subordinates seriously?"
"Prince Youxian has misunderstood. Our military leader respects you very much. He was too busy last time and had no time to visit you. He has already written to you." Qin Bei saw the trick.
"You can surrender if you want me to, unless your Qin army can do these two things. First, the former Beiyuan tribe will belong to me, and second, I, Beiyuan, will form an army alone."
"King Youxian, do you not care about the lives of your subordinates? Are you making such excessive demands?" Qin Bei shouted deliberately.
"I can't decide. I'll wait until my subordinates see the truth!" King Youxian returned to his army's formation after saying that. Just in time, he happened to encounter the charging Northern Barbarian heavy cavalry. Seeing that the other party did not slow down when he saw him, he thought he was heading toward his King Youxian and hurriedly ran westward, causing a commotion among the Beiyuan cavalry. Under the leadership of the general, they also moved westward, and soon the Northern Barbarians' heavy cavalry was exposed.
The Qin army also saw the Northern Barbarians charging with heavy cavalry. Qin Bei and his party, who had not yet returned to the military formation, hurriedly turned their horses and charged. There was no time to react at a distance of one kilometer. The Qin army followed the commander and charged, using light cavalry to shoot and fire continuously. Kill the enemy troops.
Without the help of the Beiyuan cavalry, the Northern Barbarian heavy cavalry became a lone army, bearing the independent guidance of the Qin army alone. Seeing that the situation was critical, Akayev ordered to break away from the contact and rushed towards King Youxian's large army. Seeing this, the Qin army chased behind them without firing arrows. They just shouted that they would surrender and not kill. Those who couldn't run simply dismounted and surrendered.
The Qin army kept chasing, but the surrendered Beiyuan cavalry slowed down their speed, and the Beiman and Beiyuan moved separately, one to the west and the other to the north.
The Qin army also divided its forces to pursue them. This time, the third army's support troops were used to chase the northern barbarians, while the second army continued to attack the Youxian King's tribe. At this point, the decisive battle came to an end. Except for a small number of the more than 30,000 Youxian King's cavalry who escaped, most of them surrendered when they saw that they could not escape the Qin army.
The total casualties of the Qin army were more than 1,000, and 277 people were killed. Twenty thousand and three enemies were killed, more than 116,000 soldiers were captured, and more than 400,000 troops were killed. Only King Youxian and his eight thousand elite guards escaped. The Qin army commander had a hard time deciding what to do with King Youxian, so he let him go west with a small number of troops. At the same time, the situation was also reported to the First Army of the Qin Army and a brigade was sent to monitor the situation.
Qin Zhong led his troops to pursue the Northern Barbarians. This was his first contact with the Northern Barbarians' heavy cavalry. After following the Qin army's previous tactics, he saw little effect, so he quickly changed his tactics. After changing several methods, it still couldn't work quickly, so Qin Zhong gradually began to consume it.
The night was already dark. Akayev looked at the army with only more than a thousand people left and wanted to cry. There were more than 20,000 people when he came, but there were only a thousand people when he returned. He recruited his cronies and asked him to delay the enemy for one night so that he could act accordingly.
Akayev took more than 90 ruthless horses and fled northward into the night.
The Northern Barbarian heavy cavalry, under the command of the general, tried their best to resist the Qin army. When there were only more than 300 people, the general ordered the resistance to stop.
Their fighting won the respect of the Qin army, and those who died in the battle were collected and buried by the Qin army.
