Chapter 1047: Success in the East and Success in the West (Forty)

Li Xin had already seen hope. Gao Yuan's cavalry had been squeezed into a space of only about two miles in radius. His infantry and the opponent's cavalry had now been strangled into a mass. The advantage of the cavalry was that they were now taller. Outside, it was of no use anymore. On the contrary, their tall war horses became a more conspicuous target. The sturdy Donghu cavalry fell into the mud and struggled to move, but the Qin army became more and more courageous. Until now, they themselves The price paid far exceeded the losses of the Han people, but they had a higher goal.

He can afford to die, but Gao Yuan cannot afford to die.

Li Xin squinted his eyes and looked at Gao Yuan, who was darting left and right in the mud. He felt happy in his heart. It doesn't matter how great your martial arts skills are, or whether you are invincible. As long as you lose this battle, you will be beyond redemption. Looking at Gao Yuan The target of the charge was obviously against him. The distance between the two was only a hundred steps away, but this hundred steps away was so close to the end of the world. A group of Qin soldiers fell under the high and distant Mo Dao. Another group rushed forward without fear of death, filling the empty space again, and the sound of Lao Qin's war song resounded throughout the battlefield.

He is still the invincible first general of the Qin Dynasty, Li Xin thought proudly. The corners of his mouth curved up, and a smile appeared on his face.

But immediately, the smile froze at the corners of his mouth and brows. He heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves and turned his head. On the horizon to the right, countless torches were like stars in the sky, coming with lightning speed.

Not only Li Xin was stunned, but all the generals of the Qin army turned their heads in the direction of the sound of horse hoofs at almost the same time. They were all veteran generals, and they knew clearly just by the vibration of horse hoofs on the ground. How many cavalry are there?

That was not a small group of enemy cavalry, but tens of thousands of cavalry.

Just as the enemy cavalry quickly approached, another loud shout came from behind Li Xin. On the mountain ridge and in the maple forest, countless Han troops emerged from inside. The vast majority of them Most of them didn't even wear armor, but they still held swords and guns tightly in their hands. On their bare spines, they carried pots of feather arrows. The leader, holding a Mo Dao, was bare-chested and his face was full of flesh. Next to him, a big man who was also shirtless was holding the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Han Kingdom high in his hand.

"Ah haha, I, Old Tang, still ran ahead of the cavalry!" Tang Yibiao laughed loudly.

"Division commander, we are half the distance closer than them!" an officer beside him reminded.

"Go away, I only have two legs, they have four legs!" Tang Yibiao spat, "Brothers, go down and kill all these Qin people."

The shirtless Han troops all over the mountains and plains rushed down from the maple leaf forest, like sledgehammers, hitting the Qin army's outer positions hard, easily smashing the seemingly solid outer shell of the Qin army into pieces.

At the same time, in the other direction, the Han cavalry was like a sharp spear, driving straight in, knocking over the Qin soldiers in front of their horses, and hacking them to death on the spot.

On the battlefield, the host and guest changed sides in an instant.

Seeing that the situation that was in great shape just now was destroyed by the Han army in the blink of an eye, Li Xin's throat felt sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of bloody porphyry, dyeing his breastplate red.

"General, let's go quickly. The situation is over and we can't stop it!" Ying Zhuo, covered in blood, rushed in front of Li Xin, his hair disheveled, his armor full of cracks, and he didn't know how many injuries he sustained.

"Let's go, where are we going?" Li Xin looked blankly at the battlefield illuminated by the firelight, "If I could leave, would I still come to Wuyun Banner? Thousands of miles of grassland, boundless, I can't leave!"

Ying Zhuo hung his head slumped. The vigor and vitality just now were suddenly replaced by endless fatigue. Blood continued to pour out from the wounds on his body, and his face became pale a little. He looked at Li Xin, with endless sadness in his eyes, and his hands His upper body softened, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang, "General, I'm afraid I have to take the first step!" After saying this, he threw himself feebly on the horse, holding the horse's head with all his strength so as not to give way. He fell off his horse.

"In this life, I have no regrets about following the general in his expeditions to the north and south, but it's a pity that we fell short of success!"

Tears welled up in Li Xin's eyes, "Go, go, I will come soon. Let's go to the underworld of Huangquan, summon the old troops again, and fight to create a new world."

A smile appeared on Ying Zhuo's face, "Well, I'll wait for the general at Naihe Bridge. Don't drink Meng Po soup, or you won't be able to recognize your subordinates."

With a bang, Ying Zhuo fell off his horse.

Li Xin did not look at Ying Zhuo who fell off his horse, because he knew that he would be like him soon. He raised the sword in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Correct Lao Qin and restore our country." , until the blood dries out, and there will be a truce until the death, my sons, kill them!"

He galloped his horse and rushed towards the battlefield.

When the first ray of sunlight in the sky pierced the fog and sprinkled the sunlight that destroys the growth of all things onto this land stained with blood, the war on the Wuyun Banner, a land with a radius of more than ten miles, was basically over. There were so many corpses and broken limbs all over the place. It was almost impossible to find a place that was not stained with blood. The land near the Siyang River was completely red.

Li Xin's flag had not fallen yet, but around him, there were only a thousand soldiers surrounding him, surrounded by countless Han infantry and cavalry. In a farther place, groups of Qin prisoners were escorted by the Han army and were heading towards Jishi City. Although the Qin army had strict discipline, when they finally collapsed, they were not much different from ordinary people. Not everyone could do what they knew was impossible, and not everyone had the mentality to die bravely. In the final stage, a large group of Qin soldiers finally arrived. In despair, he dropped his weapons and surrendered to the Han army.

Li Xin was not dead yet because Gao Yuan did not want to kill him. Li Xin was King Qin Wulie's playmate since childhood and the general he trusted the most. If he could be captured alive, I believe the shock to the Qin State would definitely be much greater than killing him. Moreover, if he was still alive, there would be a lot to do.

With the sound of horse hooves, the Han army that was tightly besieging the Qin army made way for a passage. Gao Yuan, covered in blood, rode out slowly on his horse. Beside him, Helan Yan and Helan Xiong, who were also covered in blood, accompanied him. Yan Haibo, Tang Yibiao and other generals accompanied him on both sides.

"General Li, you have lost, why bother to fight again, put down your weapons, and you will be my honored guest!" Gao Yuan shouted.

Li Xin sat on the ground, with many cracks on the sword in his hand, and he was almost exhausted. Hearing Gao Yuan's shouting, he stood up with the sword, looked at Gao Yuan not far away, and laughed: "Your Majesty, are you here to persuade me to surrender?"

Gao Yuan shook his head, "General Li is not a man who will surrender, so I won't waste my effort, but it's not a bad idea to put down your weapons and be my guest. When the time comes, When the time is right, Gao Yuan will send General Li back to his country. Look at the soldiers around you. They have done their duty as a soldier. Can General Li bear to watch them die without any value?" Li Xin said with a chuckle: "I would like to thank the king for his kindness, but Li Xin will not give the king this opportunity to use me to help my king. As for these soldiers, since they have chosen to follow me, they will naturally share life and death and fate with me." Gao Yuan shook his head, "General Li, are you really not going to consider my proposal?" "This matter does not need "But, my king, before I leave, I have one more thing to ask you. I wonder if you can tell me frankly?" Li Xin said.

"Of course."

"Has your king already expected that I would set an ambush here at Wuyunqi?"

"Yes." Gao Yuan nodded.

"In that case, why did your king fall into the trap? Although you have made arrangements in advance, this kind of risky move is very easy to capsize. If your reinforcements arrive an hour later, I can achieve my pre-war goal and kill you. In this way, even if my entire army is destroyed, I believe that the Han Dynasty will not last long."

"Because I believe in my general "I also believe that my soldiers can arrive at Wuyun Banner on time!" Gao Yuan laughed. "Why take the risk? General Li, you are not only leading troops to fight, but also a veteran in politics. I am the king of the Han Dynasty, and I cannot just look at the problem from the perspective of the army. Now Meng Tian and Lu Chao's two armies have swept across Wei and entered Yuyang County of our country. The people in these two places are suffering from your abuse. If I destroy your troops sooner, the people there can be liberated sooner, and my Han Dynasty can get back on track sooner." "I am afraid that there are some rumors. "Get rid of the Donghu people and consolidate your rule in Liaodong, right?" Li Xin said with a smile.

Gao Yuan laughed, "General Li is indeed an extraordinary person. At this time, he did not forget to alienate my king and his ministers. Unfortunately, you miscalculated. Whether it is Donghu people, Xiongnu people, or Han people, they are all equal in my eyes, Gao Yuan, and they are my people. Today, the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division is in front of me, so they naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. If it is Helan Xiong's Xiongnu Division or my Young Guards, no matter who is in the current position, they should be for Thousands of Han people have made sacrifices. Huai En, Gao Che, Mu Gulu, what do you think?"

The three Donghu generals rode forward and shouted loudly: "We are willing to go through fire and water for the Han people and devote ourselves to the Han people."

"Look, these are my Han people. There are many ethnic groups within the borders of my Han country, but no matter which ethnic group they belong to, they must add the word "Han" before their ethnic name!" Gao Yuan said sternly.

"I understand!" Li Xin shook his head generously, "You won this battle, but our Qin has not lost yet."

"You won't wait too long!" Gao Yuan smiled. (To be continued)
