The Ling Army is more like a defeat than a retreat.

Nearly 70,000 troops were captured without any morale, and were in a panic. In fact, not many were killed on the front line, but more were killed in the chaos.

The Qin army launched a general attack. Almost all soldiers arrived at the battlefield. After breaking the city, they even chased and clenched, breaking through the south gate and driving the spiritual army out of the north gate in one breath.

The streets were filled with corpses. In the eyes of Qin Zhu, the escaped spiritual army was undoubtedly the head of a man who had been promoted in military achievements, and it was possible to imagine the scene of pursuit.

Ruizhou Naiji City is very large. The pursuit process lasted for a whole afternoon until it was almost evening when Wei Guang escaped from the north gate by chance.

At this time, the seventy thousand spiritual troops were less than 30,000, all of them were covered in dust, with crooked helmets and slanted armor. Not to mention morale, there was not even a decent military appearance.

Huang Zu, who was seriously injured, was also carried on a stretcher by his soldiers and was still in a coma.

The Qin army behind him was about to chase him soon. Wei Guang did not dare to delay, and he had no time to check and rectify. He just ordered: "Hurry! Everyone threw away the heavy objects and retreated to Mingshan as quickly as possible!"

In the era of cold weapons, there was a huge difference between the wilderness and the city. In the face of large-scale pursuit of the enemy, Wei Guang could be surrounded and suppressed at any time in the wild. What Wei Guang is most worried about now,

It is the Qin cavalry.

However, compared with the spiritual troops in Ruizhou, the escape of the Ling King in the east is of course more important. Therefore, under the highest decision, the Qin cavalry was taken away by Tang Yue. At this time, they were splitting their troops to attack Dong'an, and they would not delay for a moment.

.

The Ling army has been defeated and can be wiped out in the war zone at any time. If the Ling King escapes to Dongjing, it will be a big problem.

At the same time, Ruizhou Prefecture.

Now Su Yi has entered the city and is standing above, looking at the military map left by the Spirit Army on the wall.

Soon, a lieutenant walked in quickly, clasped his fists and said:

"Reported to the general Su, the entire Ruizhou has been occupied by our army, and the vanguard troops are chasing Mingshan, but... except for the captives of the Ling Army, there are still some people in the city..."

Hearing this, Su Yi raised his hand and interrupted him, saying simply: "Behead all the flags."

The people had heard of massacres before, but Ruizhou was broken too quickly, and there were still some people who had not had time to escape.

"This..." the general swallowed and plucked his courage, saying, "But Mr. Su, our army has captured Ruizhou. If we kill prisoners and slaughter the people again, we may be criticized...

..”

Su Yi turned around and looked at him, and said coldly: "If a person has no faith, he will not stand. There is no joke in the army. I have already said before that if the spiritual army does not surrender, after the city is broken, he will slaughter all Ruizhou.

Are you talking empty talk?”

Such words can only make one lower his body: "This is. I will send the order."

Su Yi said before that the massacre of the city was to shock the enemy's courage and make the entire Ruizhou even more chaotic, so as to gain the advantage of siege. But now there are still a small number of people who have not escaped. As the commander of the army, this has been said.

No, there is no way to take it back.

With the cold-blooded and ruthless military orders issued, countless spiritual prisoners and hundreds of people were taken to the river outside the city.

Under the bondage and kneeling on the ground, the whole scene was filled with crying and begging for mercy.

But the military order is a military order. With a silence, the Qin army waved its swords together, and a large number of people fell to the ground. Blood flowed into the water along the river bank. In just a moment, the entire stream was dyed red...

the next day.

Su Yi had just summoned the generals to discuss the troops, and military information in front had already arrived.

Coincidentally, after Wei Guang retreated to Mingshan, he happened to meet the 30,000 county soldiers who were transporting the front line. Naturally, the two sides merged, but there were another 50,000 people, but they were already a mob.

Now Wei Qing's troops are outside Mingshan, and the pursuit to the county town is naturally blocked. They are formulating a combat plan to capture Mingshan.

In Ruizhou Prefecture, after military aircraft personnel handed over military information, they said: "At present, General Wei Qing is chasing the enemy overnight and is resting in Mingshan. He specially ordered his subordinates to report to Su Shuai, saying that within three days, this county will be destroyed!"

"Yeah..." Su Yi pondered for a moment, held the military situation in his hand, and walked back and forth for two steps, but did not speak immediately.

Ning Zhan said, "Now, the Ling Army has been defeated and has a desperate road. Mingshan is not something that can be defended. In the view of the last general, we should adopt General Wei Qing's words and attack again."

Su Yi shook his head slightly, held up the military situation and said, "There are still remnants of the Ling Army in Mingshan, and Wei Qing also said that it will take three days to break it, but the king's strategic intention is very clear, and the Ling King needs to be trapped in Lingdu.

In the area, our army needs to be quick and cooperate with the Tang Yue cavalry to attack on two lines, trapping the Spirit King to death, leaving him without time to escape to the east."

"Three days, you can't delay..."

Ning Zhan couldn't help but say, "If you don't attack quickly, you may be able to gain a foothold in Mingshan."

Su Yi glanced at him and smiled and said, "Sometimes, there is no need to attack hard. Using tactics can save time faster."

"Su Shuai means..." Ning Zhan looked confused.

After a little thought, Su Yi said directly: "In this way, you will lead three thousand troops to use doubts to fight against the Handan Road line and make an action to attack the rear of Mingshan in the northeast direction. Seeing this, Wei Guang must

I dare not stay in Mingshan anymore, as this will greatly save our army's time to advance to Lingdu."

"No!" Ning Zhan held his fists and took the order.

Mingshan County is not very far from Ruizhou. After Ning Zhan ordered the troops, he began to march quickly without any pause.

When two armies fight, intelligence is necessary regardless of whether they are defeated or not.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Guang, who was in Mingshan, received a report from the horse exploration, saying that a large number of Qin troops were moving quickly from the Handan Road line.

This road can be followed by Mingshan.

After listening to the military situation, Wei Guang immediately came to the map. After searching for it, he pointed his fingers at Mingshan. He thought for a moment and immediately widened his eyes.

There is no doubt that in his opinion, Su Yi was going to cut off his own retreat and surround this county.

Although there are still 50,000 spiritual troops here, this unit is not only dismal morale, but also mixed with county soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. Wei Guang felt like a mirror in his heart.

After reaching this conclusion, he took a deep breath and then said with a slightest voice: "The use of military service in the Handan Road line is in line with Su Yi's habits. Mingshan... cannot be kept anymore..."

After saying that, he also raised his head, looked around for a while, and made a quick decision: "Send an order immediately! Continue to retreat lightly, do not bring any supplies, the speed should be fast! Before dark, the entire army must leave the Mingshan range!"

"This." The generals of the Lingjun subconsciously looked around and then could only clasp their fists together and said, "Abide by the order--"

This was just Su Yi's suspicious soldier, because he didn't want to waste time in Mingshan and Wei Guang.
