Chapter 125 Beating the Reservoir Dogs

Nearly 50,000 Chu troops.

As we talk and laugh, we were wiped out.

Li Yuan's ability to show in this battle of winning with less and more made Han Xin feel admired and feared, but he didn't know that Li Yuan's tactics in this battle were referenced by Han Xin's classic examples of Han Xin's battle against the back-to-back battle in the future.

The fire is in a blazing position.

Just now, the soldiers who rushed to the front now have become the target of the Qin army chasing behind.

The soldiers of the Chu army who had lost their fighting spirit had completely lost their establishment. Yang Xi and other lieutenants, commanders, and cavalry generals were killed by the Qin army one by one. The remaining soldiers ran away in a panic, hoping that they could run faster than their companions.

"It's over, everything is over!" When Long Qi led the escaped main force back, he saw a pair of ruins and scorched earth that were burnt out.

Like a huge rock pressing on his heart, Long Qi only felt that the defeat of this battle was really frustrating. He thought that the Qin army was killed on the river beach, and no matter how tenacious it was, it would never last for a whole day. However, when one ice wall after another that could be called a miracle in architectural history appeared in front of Long Qi, this miracle became a reality.

God, it’s not fair. The gloomy weather and the damn low temperatures are all occupied by Li Zhe!

There are also incompetent guys such as Lu Matong and Yang Xi, if they are more brave, how could they not be able to break through the last ice wall defense line of the Qin people?

Only one moment away!

Long Qi was defeated like this.

"General, Qin Gou is still chasing him closely behind, what should I do?" The vanguard of the Chu army, Lu Matong, was very capable of escaping. He was just ahead and ran faster than Long and even at once. If he hadn't seen the Chu army's central army flag, Lu Matong would have already run back to the old camp early.

Of course, at this time, Lu Matong had no appearance of being full of energy during the day. There were only a few hundred soldiers following him.

"What a panic? This battle was just a few days before Li Zhe was a little proud. The two men of King Yong and King Zhe were probably going to break into Yongzhou City at this time." Long Qiqiang said calmly.

According to Li Yuan's troops dispatched in the battle of Qishan and Weishui, Long Qi believed that Li Yuan's remaining troops were less than 10,000. Faced with this little force, if Zhang Han and Dong Yi could not take it, they would have to raise their heads to see Xiang Yu.

"But now that our army is scattered, Qin Gou is chasing him very tightly, I'm afraid--!" Lu Matong hesitated. In fact, his original intention was to ask Long Qi for love. This time the defeat was too miserable. Yang Xi, the pioneer general, has been killed, and Lu Matong is still alive. If Long Qi is held accountable, he will not be able to escape any matter.

"Person Lu should be a powerful general of my great Chu. At this time of danger, he showed his true nature as a loyal minister. In this way, you will lead the troops to cut off the rear, and the other generals and soldiers will follow me to retreat to Fufeng and Xianyang." Long Qi snorted coldly and shouted. Lu Matong, a villain who can only flatter and slap horses, is a burden to live. It would be better to let him sacrifice his life for the country as soon as possible.

"General, I--!" When Lu Matong heard this, he became frightened. Just now, the fierceness of the Qin army had already made him frightened. He finally escaped, but now he has to take on the task of cutting off the rear. Lu Matong felt as if he was decisive for a moment.

"You dare not disobey the order!" Long Qi was furious.

"This is the last general order!" Lu Matong was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat when he was staring at Long Qi. At this time, he woke up. The number one general of the Chu army who was a murderer without blinking and was known as the "Dragon King". In a rage, if Long Qi killed him, he could have completely shirked the death of the chaos. Who did he go to to ask for this resentment?

——.

The Qin army chased and killed them all the way.

After chasing for more than fifty miles, he immediately withdrew his troops back to the camp. Lu Matong, who was cut off the rear, gathered a remaining army and tried to resist dyingly. However, Feng Xuan shot an arrow into the throat and immediately fell to death.

As soon as Lu Matong died, the Chu army scattered again.

Long Qi, relying on Lu Matong to attract the attention of the Qin army, retreated from the path to Fufeng. When the people were counted, Long Qi, who had always refused to admit defeat, couldn't help but sigh.

Two thousand defeated soldiers.

This is all the troops left by Long Qi. Even if there are more than 6,000 generals and soldiers left in Xianyang, Long Qi's subordinates are less than 10,000. More importantly, Long Qi lost all the soldiers who followed the Chu army from Guandong for many years and lost this elite group. Where did Long Qi recruit so many soldiers who were resentful to the Qin State?

Fufeng.

It is the second largest city in the western part of the Guanzhong Plain. The city is towering and the city walls are very strong. The Zhengguo Canal in the territory passes through the edge of the Loess Platform. The two rivers of Weishui and Weishui meet here, forming a fertile land of thousands of miles and a grain silo in Guanzhong.

This is also a logistics supply transfer station for Longqi to attack Yongqi. The grain and fodder collected from Xianyang, Xiayi, Linxia and other eastern Guanzhong must be transported to the front line through Fufeng. Among them: Longqi's main force occupied the largest share, Zhang Han's southern partial division should be less, and Dong Yi's northern partial division was mainly self-sufficient. The requisition of Gaonu County to deal with a force of several thousand people, and Dong Yi could not tell what Longqi had in his partialness.

The war was not good, and Long Qi was in a bad mood. In desperation, he had to send scouts to Chen Cang and Gao Nu to inquire about military information. The Qin army was imminent. With these more than 2,000 people, it was impossible to defend the Guanzhong granary of Fufeng. The only thing he hoped for now was that the two side troops of King Yong, Zhanghan and King Zhai, Dong Yi, could use the opportunity of the Qin army to come out and break into Yongqi's hinterland and give Li a tooth for a tooth.

However, before Long Ji took a breath, the two doctors and generals Yang Wu and Lu Sheng, who were responsible for the transportation of food and fodder, each fled to Fufeng with a defeated soldier.

"Doctor Yang, Doctor Lu, why are you so embarrassed to escort food and fodder? Where is the baggage?" Long Qi saw Yang Wu, Lu Sheng looked frightened and couldn't help but fight. There was no general under his command who could stand alone, all of them were these soft-boys who could only eat and work. The root cause of this battle was these incompetent people.

The Chu army, which once swept across Guandong, and in Julu and Jiyuan, killed the Qin army and suffered consecutive defeats, is gradually becoming corrupted by repeated praises. The generals and schools have no ambitions. The soldiers only want to gain benefits. How can such an army win a victory?

"Report to the general, something is wrong. Xianyang, Xianyang Road was cut off by the Qin cavalry, and we were surrounded?" Yang Wu cried and was still in shock.

Three days ago, Yang Wu and Lu Sheng led a thousand soldiers and 3,000 soldiers to escort the grain and fodder collected from Xiayi. As soon as they entered the Liyi area outside Xianyang, they were attacked by a group of Luojia cavalry hiding here. The grain and fodder were burned and the soldiers were scattered. Yang and Lu rolled and crawled, and fled to the Wei River grain transport ship with more than a hundred personal soldiers, and escaped their lives.
