General Qin

Looking at the battlefield from a distance, Zhao Tuo saw Meng Tian smashing the Chu army's surprise soldiers, and Meng's banner went all the way south, directly inserted into the waist of Chu's central army.

At the same time, Zhao Guang also encouraged the soldiers to step forward bravely. The two armies joined forces, and the Chu army was flanked and collapsed in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Won."

He wiped the sweat from his brow.

This time the battle is no longer a night ambush, no longer a trick to lure the enemy. Instead, it is a test and a learning process for Zhao Tuo to fight with soldiers against soldiers, with generals against generals, and with the enemy's military skills on the battlefield.

For the first time commanding a large corps to fight on the frontal battlefield, Zhao Tuo must pay close attention to every change in the battlefield, make correct judgments in the blink of an eye, and issue orders quickly, which requires a very high quality of the general.

Fortunately, Zhao Tuo climbed up step by step from a small soldier, from defeating Yan and Wei, to defeating Chu and breaking Qi, every battle is constantly honing his ability, allowing him to learn and improve bit by bit .

It is said that if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't form rivers and seas.

Zhao Tuo has laid a very solid foundation in battles from childhood to adulthood, so this time in the duel with Xiang Yan, he quickly sensed the emergence of fighters and gave the correct order.

Later generations said that the first time is born and the second time is familiar. With this experience in the frontal battlefield, Zhao Tuo believes that if he confronts people head-on next time, he will behave more calmly and calmly.

"The people of Chu have suffered repeated defeats, and their morale has long been low. This battle is all based on a single blow. Once one army is defeated, the whole line will collapse. It is useless for Xiang Yan to have more troops."

Zhao Tuo whispered, pointing out an important factor for Qin's victory in this battle: morale!

This is also one of the reasons why he dared to fight Xiang Yan in the field. If the morale of the Chu army was high, Zhao Tuo would choose to stick to the camp and not come out to confront the Chu people.

Lu Wan and Li Shang, who were standing beside them, responded immediately: "What the general said is true. Now that the three armies of Chu State are all defeated, our army's morale is like a rainbow. The next step is to chase death and chase north."

As the two said, at this moment the battlefield was broken with the central army of Chu State, and countless Chu soldiers shouted and fled in all directions. The left and right armies of Chu State were also affected, and an unstoppable collapse began.

The first to be affected was the left army of Chu State who returned to fight back after the fraudulent defeat. This army assumed the mission of fraudulent defeat, but because of its low morale, half of the troops ran away directly during the fraudulent defeat.

The remaining soldiers reluctantly turned around under the restraint of the military officials, and entangled with the two thousand Qin troops who were chasing them. The reason why he has persisted until now is precisely to wait for General Jing Tong's surprise attack to defeat the Qin army and win a big victory.

As a result, General Jing Tong, whom the soldiers of the left army had been waiting for, not only suffered a major defeat on the way, but was defeated by the Qin army. Immediately afterwards, he received news of the collapse of the Central Army of Chu State.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the left army of Chu State, which had already fallen to the bottom, had no fighting spirit. The soldiers immediately turned and fled, showing their backs to the excited Qin people. They had only one thought, and that was to hope that the robe beside them could Block Qin Jun's weapon so that he can escape with his life.

At this time, as the Central Army of Chu State was pinched and routed, Qin General Zhao Guang also seized the opportunity and ordered Hei Hip to assist Meng Tian in chasing and killing the soldiers of the Central Army of Chu State who were fleeing. At the same time, he ordered Su Jiao, Xi Qigu and others to lead their troops straight to the right army of Chu State.

The right army of the Chu State was facing the veteran Qin State Feng Wuze, who was already at a disadvantage in the fight, and was in a state of barely supporting himself. Now seeing that both the Central Army and the Left Army have collapsed, and the Qin State Central Army sent people to kill them, the morale of this Chu army also collapsed in an instant.

All the Chu soldiers cried out.

"Defeated, our army is defeated, everyone run for their lives..."

They shouted, each throwing off their feet and running for their lives.

Feng Wuze seized the opportunity and ordered the whole army to charge, chasing death to the north.

All three armies of the Chu State were defeated, and the overall situation was settled.

At this moment, even if Sun Wu is alive and Wu Qi is reborn, facing such a situation, he is powerless!

"Ling Yin, our army has been defeated, and this battle is my fault."

Under the guard of short soldiers, Jing Tong rushed back to Xiang Yan's side in a hurry. His face was pale, and one hand was still trembling slightly.

The last time he raided Meng Tian's grain team on Dongyang Road, he failed, and he wanted to commit suicide after the war because of guilt.

But Jing Ju stopped him.

When he failed to commit suicide that time, Jing Tong lost the courage to face death.

"The reason why the state of Chu has declined to the point where it is now is precisely because of the overthrow of the army and the killing of the generals. As a result, the state of Chu has no generals who are good at fighting. Therefore, Ling Yin faced Wang Jian's army and had no generals to use, so he was defeated repeatedly. If I die, But to die in vain, it is righteousness to leave a useful body.”

Such thoughts often lingered in Jing Tong's mind, so when his surprise attack failed and he collided with Meng Tian's Qin army.

Seeing the opponent rushing towards him as fast as a tiger, Jing Tong felt timid in his heart.

"I can't die!"

Facing Meng Tian, ​​Jing Tong fled.

At this moment, Jing Tong returned to the rear of the Chu army. Seeing that due to his own reasons, the whole line of the Chu army collapsed, countless soldiers fled desperately, and the Qin army was about to chase here, he couldn't help being ashamed and afraid.

He mourned and persuaded: "Ling Yin, the defeat of this battle has been decided. We might as well withdraw to the south. Jing Ju and Cai Niao still have ten thousand people in their hands. We can gather the rest and then rely on Jiangdong and Yuedi to compete with the Qin people. ah!"

Xiang Yan turned her head sideways and took a look at Jing Tong.

Instead of answering, he let out a long sigh.

"Although Zhao Tuo is young, he is brave and good at fighting. When he sees our army feigning defeat, he can see what I mean, and he can make a quick judgment. This kind of ability can already be called a good fighter."

"Although I lost this battle because I had no generals and our soldiers were weak, Zhao Tuo's military skills should not be underestimated. He is still young, and in time, he will not be weaker than Wang Jian, and even this son will be even stronger than Wang Jian." Difficult to deal with. With Zhao Tuo in Qin, even if we flee to Jiangdong, what can we do if we flee to Yuedi? Can we still counterattack and come back?"

"Could it be that this old man is more exhausting than Zhao Tuo?"

Xiang Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, her eyes filled with tears.

He was not crying for his defeat, but for the future of Chu State.

Xiang Yan once had the idea that if he was defeated, he would flee to Jiangdong, Yuedi and fight against the Qin army, killing Wang Jian.

That's because he thinks that in the Qin army, except for Wang Jian, no one is his opponent, even Wang Ben, Meng Wu and others are worse than him. As long as he can exhaust Wang Jian's lifespan, maybe he can find a chance for Chu State.

But now, with the appearance of Zhao Tuo and his terrifying military potential, Xiang Yan's idea has been completely shattered.

Even if Wang Jian died.

And Zhao Tuo.

In addition to Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Feng Wuze and other Qin generals, how can Xiang Yan fight against him with the weak Jiangdong and Yuedi?

Now, Jing Tong persuades him to go south.

But Xiang Yan was disheartened.

Boom boom boom!

As the drums of the Qin army beat heavily, countless routs of the Chu army rushed to the rear of their homes.

Thousands of Chu soldiers guarding Xiang Yan could not contain the impact of these routs, and even many short soldiers chose to flee with the routs.

In the distance, Qin people with bloodthirsty and excited faces are rushing towards.

"The Chu army is defeated!"

"The Qin army is victorious!"

"General Zhao wins!"

Amidst the shouts, Xiang Yan closed her eyes and lowered her hands weakly.

Apart from his despair about the future, he also knew very well that the southward retreat that Jing Tong said was unrealistic at all. As long as he ran, Zhao Tuo and Feng Wuze would definitely pursue him all the way.

Xiang Yan, like Chu Wangqi, is a figure that the Qin army must kill. If Xiang Yan and Chu Wangqi are not dead, the Qin army will never give up.

Xiang Yan fled south, but the only result was to continue to bring the main force of the Qin army to Jiangdong, and let the Qin people completely destroy the remaining Chu power in the land of Wuyue.

If Xiang Yan is not dead, the Qin army will not stop.

If he died, perhaps Wang Jian would only send an army south to wipe out Jing Ju and pursue Chu Wang Qi and others, instead of leading his army into Jiangdong himself.

That being the case, he might as well stop the Qin army with his death. If Xiang Yan dies, or even King Qi of Chu dies, the main force of the Qin army may be transferred back.

As long as the main force of the Qin army leaves, the blood of the Chu people will not be cut off on this vast land of Jingchu.

Those Chu people who have the ambition to restore the country will always wait, waiting for the opportunity for them to restore the country in one fell swoop.

This might not be a way.

This generation can't do it, so let's hope for future generations.

"After Qin general Wang Jian, there is still Zhao Tuo."

"After me, Xiang Yan, there are people!"

Xiang Yan let out a long roar, and a childish appearance appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a child who was younger than Zhao Tuo.

It is the expectation of his Xiang clan.

When Xiang Yan led his troops across Huainan, when he passed the prime minister, he had already made arrangements for Xiang's family, and now he thinks it will be very safe.

"Zitong, let's go. Leaving my body here will stop the main force of the Qin army and give you a chance to survive."

Xiang Yan murmured: "I, Xiang Yan, die here."

"Ling Yin, don't do this, the state of Chu can't live without Ling Yin!"

Jing Tong knelt on the ground and cried.

Xiang Yan smiled faintly, drew out his saber, and murmured a tragic song of national mourning softly.

"Wearing a long sword and holding a Qin bow, the head is separated and the heart is not punished. Sincerity is both brave and martial, and finally strong and invincible. When the body is dead, the gods are spirited, and the soul is resolute and ghostly..."

Xiang Yan raised his head again, this time, he turned to the north, which was the direction of the prime minister.

"Nangong once said that although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu must die!"

"Chu people will never be slaves of Qin!"

In the roar like a lion, Xiang Yan no longer hesitated, and crossed his sword across his neck.

In an instant, blood spattered.

Yin Xiangyan, the order of Chu, slayed himself by the Huai River.
