Chapter 1036 Taking advantage of the situation
Chapter 1036
The Qin army fought too many wars, and it can be said that it was a war of war. There is no need to say much about the bravery of the battle, and it refused to defend it. No matter how fierce the barbarians' offensive was, it would be impossible to break through here.
In this battle, in order to open the road to return to China, one side has greatly increased its combat power driven by the desire to survive.
In order to eliminate the invasion of foreign races, the morale was even higher.
The rocks fell down, and the bones shattered, the soldiers died in blood and howled and fell down the ladder.
The Qin army crossbowmen at the city gate immediately shrank down after firing the arrow, pulled out the feather arrow from the quiver pot, and poked out the bow again, and the arrows never stopped.
The Long-Salute Infantry Army guarded various defense lines, but some barbarians showed their heads along the ladder, and the Long-Salute Infantry was stabbed fiercely.
The fierce battle lasted from morning to night before it came to an end.
The barbarian army could not attack, and suffered heavy casualties. They left behind the bodies of the ground and retreated in a hurry.
Under Nanping Pass, blood flowed into a river, rocks scattered, and they were pressed on the corpse, and the carved feathers were penetrated all over the ground, and the tragedy of the cold weapon battlefield was fully revealed here.
On the top of the city, Zhao Xiong fought back to his scabbard and said, "Change defense immediately, don't be slackened at all."
"The general means..." asked the captain Li Erzhu.
"The barbarian army was intercepted from retreat and would definitely fight to the death! There will be a fierce battle tonight!" Zhao Xiong said cleanly.
Although his level is not very high, he is also a long-standing general. He followed Xiao Yuan, fought south and north, and went through big and small battles, and had rich experience in facing the enemy.
Knowing that the enemy attacks and guards, the barbarian army will never dare to waste time when there are pursuers behind and intercepts in front.
After the defeat in the war, a general in the Southern Barbarians did persuade him: "We retreated from Jiaoyang City, walked rapidly all the way, and were hit hard again. Now the entire army is exhausted. It is best to take a rest and then attack again."
But the Man King said, "The main force of Yan Qi is behind him and will arrive soon. If Nanping Pass is not captured again, we will not be able to return to the country!"
"And the Central Plains army pays attention to tactics. After fighting during the day, the Qin army thought that it had repelled us, so they would definitely be negligent in defense at night. It would be the best time to attack at night!"
"Tell the warriors! This is our only way to live. Tonight, we must break through Nanping Pass!"
There was nothing wrong with the choice of the Barbarian King, but Zhao Xiong had already expected that he would attack at night, so it was another fierce battle.
This night battle was even more bloody than during the day. The barbarian army was divided into several teams and took turns to fight until the sun rose, but still failed to break the barrier.
The barbarian king, who was commanding at the gate, was so angry that he saw that the Qin army was so difficult to deal with. He pointed the scimitar in his hand at the top of the city and said angrily: "See that man is not there! This guard is a great trouble for our army. Whoever can shoot him to death will have a great reward!"
The point of his scimitar was Zhao Xiong, who was also running around with the sword of war, constantly chopping and killing the emerging barbarian army, and shouting loudly to command.
When the barbarian generals around him heard this, they immediately took the bow and rolled the arrow, pulled it up, and narrowed their eyes slightly. The arrow moved with Zhao Xiong's movement. It was not until after a while that they let go.
The sharp arrow left the string and shot out vigorously.
This was a cold arrow, which came in a flash, and with a pounce, it hit Zhao Xiong's mouth. The powerful force penetrated the armor and made him stagger back a few steps.
"General——"
Li Erzhu and several Qin troops rushed over immediately.
"Ah--" With a loud roar, Zhao Xiong waved his sword and cut off the arrows in his chest, regardless of the bleeding at the corner of his mouth, and shouted shrillly: "Don't worry about me! Keep Nanping Pass! Keep Nanping Pass!"
At the end of the gate, seeing an arrow hit, the Southern Barbarian King couldn't help but smile on his back and patted the general's shoulder: "Okay, okay! After returning, I will reward you ten Central Plains beauties!"
"Thank you, the king!" The barbarian general also looked excited.
Just when the Barbarian King was very happy and thought that he could shoot Zhao Xiong and Nanping Pass could be broken, a barbarian soldier rode his horse and said in a panic: "King! No! The main force of the Qin army is about to come!"
"What!?" The Barbarian King was shocked and his face changed.
The civil servant Wu Tu immediately panicked and said in a trembling voice: "Oh, the main force of Yan Qi has arrived and can't attack anymore. If we are attacked from front and back, our army will be defeated."
"Hateful!" Hope turned into anger in a flash. The Southern Barbarian King's eyes were so bitter that he clasped his scimitar. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Get away first!"
He had no choice but to find a safe place first, and he could only divide his troops to intercept him while trying to break through the barrier.
But this retreat laid the foundation for his defeat.
Under the Supreme Military Order, the barbarians who had been following one after another began to retreat like a tide.
At the city gate, a fatal arrow had already made Zhao Xiong's life begin to pass away. When he learned about the situation on the battlefield, he forced himself to grab Li Erzhu's arm, "The barbarian army must have arrived, my main force has arrived!"
"Yes, General, the last general will help you down immediately. There is no need to worry about Nanping Pass." Li Erzhu said.
"Chasing! Take advantage of the situation to turn on and chase the barbarian army!" Zhao Xiong seemed to be using his last bit of strength to grab Li Erzhu tightly: "Erzhu, you are fully commanded here, fighter jets, don't miss them! Chase!"
"General——" Li Erzhu's eyes turned red.
Zhao Xiong's mouth was bleeding again. After being carried onto a stretcher, he was still yelling: "Hurry up!! If you cannot destroy the Southern Barbarians, there will be a betrayal king! There will be a betrayal nation!!"
The arrow at the center of the mouth was a fatal arrow, and the eyes of the soldiers around him were rosy. Zhao Xiong was a very good general. He not only had good military management, but also had rich experience in facing the enemy.
But a general will inevitably die if he fights a hundred times.
After shaking the sword in his hand fiercely, Li Erzhu stood up suddenly, tears in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Switch! Chase the enemy!"
Zhao Xiong died in battle. Now there is a unit of Nanping Pass. He is the highest general. Under his order, the city gate opened wide and all the Qin troops rushed out in a swarm.
"Kill--"
The so-called "sad soldiers will win", and the soldiers will carry the power of resentment, holding their swords high, and hunting down the retreating barbarians.
When the Barbarian King retreated, his morale plummeted. The front team turned into the back team, and the formation was soon disrupted. The main force of the Qin army was pressing towards this side. How dare he stop? The more he retreated, the more panicked he became. The more panicked he was, the faster he was defeated.
This defeat was truly a mountain of defeat. The battle flags and weapons were thrown all over the ground, and the barbarians were rushing to escape.
The Qin army in Nanping Pass and the main force of Yan Qi attacked from north to south, echoing the front and back. The Barbarian King had no choice but to escape to the left. This pursuit lasted for a whole afternoon. It was not until dark that the two Qin troops finally met and successfully surrounded the remaining barbarian army in a large valley.
After the meeting, the generals gathered together, and Yan Qi took the lead and said: "Now, the barbarian army has been trapped in death. One part of Nanping Pass has chosen to chase the enemy, take advantage of the situation and fighter jets have been looking for just the right amount."
