In the rush, less than 10,000 people were able to cross the pontoon bridge.

There are still more than 200,000 Chu troops left on the west bank of Yingshui River. Now that the pontoon bridge is broken, it is equivalent to pushing them to a dead end and pushing them under the Qin army's blade. Xiang Liang couldn't help but be angry and almost couldn't help it.

Jing Lan was chopped off with one knife.

Although Jing Lan is also a general, he can only command battles and has no personal strength. He was easily mentioned and said helplessly: "I... I don't want to die!"

If the pontoon bridge is broken, the Qin army will not be able to catch up in a short time, so they don't have to die.

Xiang Yan was also very angry, but now was not the time to care about this, so he shouted: "Get out of here first!"

After gathering the supporting soldiers, they no longer cared about anything else and headed back in the direction of Shouchun.

At this moment, several remaining soldiers came from the direction of Cheng Fu.

They were the few who escaped from Zhang Han's ambush. When they saw Xiang Yan, they knelt down and said, "Shangzhu Kingdom, the eldest son died in the battle!"

"What!"

The eldest son is Xiang Rong.

Hearing this, Xiang Yan swayed, unable to bear the blow, and fell off the horse.

"Aweng!"

Xiang Liang caught the man and shouted to the soldier: "Are you serious?"

"Really...really!"

The remnant soldier said tremblingly.

"Rong'er!"

Xiang Yan felt that the world in front of him had lost its color in an instant. When he saw Zhang Han coming back, he had a bad premonition. He did not expect that the premonition would come true and the reality would be so cruel.

Why is God so cruel to him?

He shouldn't have fought this battle. In fact, it seemed pretty good to cede territory and seek peace. However, it was too late to regret it now!

"I'm going to avenge my eldest brother!"

Xiang Liang said angrily, turning around to fight back, but Xiang Yan grabbed his wrist.

"return!"

Xiang Yan shouted.

Jing Lan stepped forward and said: "Nephew Xiang Liang, if you go back now, you can only die. How can you take revenge? If you die too, how can we take revenge? The most important thing now is to escape first. As long as we are still alive, we will be able to take revenge in the future."

Only then can we take revenge!”

Although he was afraid of death, what he said was reasonable.

The most important thing now is to escape alive.

Although Xiang Liang was unwilling, he had no choice but to put aside his thoughts of revenge and lead the remaining Chu army to escape.

——

"Chase!"

When Bai Zhong saw Xiang Yan escaping, he continued: "Xin Sheng, Zhang Tang led 100,000 people to pursue him. Zhang Han, Li Ji, you each led 80,000 troops. Take Chengfu, Juyang and other cities as soon as possible."

Come down."

"only!"

They got the order and immediately went down to take action.

The Chu army's pontoon bridge was quickly rebuilt by them, and through the boats, a large number of Qin troops began to cross the river, chasing and killing, attacking the city, and dividing labor and cooperation.

The news of Xiang Yan's defeat and escape quickly spread throughout Xiangcheng, Juyang and other cities. This was undoubtedly bad news for the Chu army's defenders.

Chen Ping asked: "General, what should I do if the Chu army surrenders?"

On the bank, there were more than 100,000 Qin troops surrounded by more than 200,000 Chu troops who dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"I have no habit of accepting surrender, kill them all!"

Bai Zhong said coldly.

More than 200,000 people, all killed!

Both Fusu and Chen Ping were shocked.

"Teacher, are you really going to kill them all?"

Fusu felt that the killing was too heavy and this would not work.

Bai Zhong asked: "If we don't kill them, what's the use of leaving so many people here?"

It is of no use at all. It will only be a burden, a potential danger, and even a waste of the Qin army's food and grass. No matter from which point of view, they should all be killed.

Fusu was silent and Chen Ping said nothing more.

Others find it ordinary.

Everyone in the army knew that Baizhong did not accept surrender after the war.

After receiving the order, the 100,000 Qin troops began to slaughter the Chu soldiers. For a while, the sound of wailing and screaming echoed on the shore, which sounded very miserable, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

After killing the people, the Qin army casually threw the corpses into Yingshui to feed the fish. The corpses quickly intercepted the Yingshui. The water surface was full of floating corpses and the river was dyed red with blood.

When Fusu saw this scene, he felt extremely cruel. He thought he had changed, but compared with his teacher, he was far inferior. The teacher could be cruel to his enemies, but he could also be gentle and kind to his own people.

He felt that the teacher's character was a bit strange, but also very real.

It was already the second day after we had killed all the people.

Bai Zhong ordered everyone to break camp and march eastward to follow Xin Sheng and Zhang Tang to see how the pursuit went.

In the afternoon, I finally caught up with Xin Sheng and the others.

When Xiang Yan fled, he could still take with him 20,000 to 30,000 people. Relying on his familiarity with the Chu land, he escaped and counterattacked, but the Qin army killed more than 20,000 people, and finally escaped.

"Although Xiang Yan is not as good as a general, he is not weak in strength."

Chen Ping admired it.

Bai Zhong agreed: "Xiang Yan is indeed not weak. Since he has reached his end, leave the rest to me. Xin Sheng and Zhang Tang, you go attack Chengfu and all the cities in Huaibei, and finally gather outside Shouchun.

"

Leave the matter of siege to them.

He went after him himself.

"only!"

Zhang Tang and Xin Sheng said at the same time.

When they left the team, Bai Zhong said again: "Gengwu, you lead the warriors to chase after them first."

"Hello!"

Gengwu took the iron eagle warriors with him and galloped forward on horseback.

Bai Zhong followed slowly behind.

As for the other cities, he doesn't need to worry. Zhang Han and the others can handle it well enough. Xiang Yan has been defeated. The cities in Huaibei will definitely not be able to defend. They will either surrender in large numbers or be forcibly breached.

They chased for more than an hour.

A sharp soldier ran back and said: "General, Xiang Yan has fled to the Huaihe River."

"Speed ​​up and don't let them cross the river."

Bai Zhong said loudly.

The warriors galloped to catch up.

——

On the edge of Huai River.

Xiang Yan fled here and looked across the Huai River in the direction of Shouchun. When he thought about his defeat, he was filled with emotion.

The remaining soldiers of the Chu army were standing on the shore, looking helplessly at Shangzhu Kingdom.

A defeat is like a mountain falling, that's what they say.

There were more than 400,000 people, and in the end only a few thousand of them were left, and they didn’t know what to do next.

"Shangzhu Kingdom, the ships are ready, let's leave quickly!"

Jing Lan came over and said.

Xiang Yan did not get on the ship, but said sadly: "The five-thousand-mile-long Chu army finally perished in our hands. The 400,000-strong army was almost completely destroyed by my hands. I am ashamed of the great Chu and the great king."

"Aweng!"

Xiang Liang's voice choked up: "Aweng is worthy of the great Chu, let's leave by boat first!"

His elder brother Xiang Rong has died in the hands of the Qin army. The Xiang family has definitely done their best for Chu and has no regrets.

Jinglan was worried that the Qin army would catch up, so he urged: "Please go to Zhuguo and get on the boat!"

"No!"
Chapter completed!
