After listening to General Wang's report, Li Dingkun calculated that the Qi army and the Dali army should not be far away at this time. Since the men and horses are still there at Zi Shi, less than three hours have passed since Zi Shi, and the Qi army still has so much baggage.
The evacuation must be slow. Li Dingkun guessed that the Qi army must have received news of the alliance between Qin and Chen, and knew that the Chen army would send troops to assist in the battle, so they retreated at night. In order to avoid being chased by him, they deliberately delayed it until midnight last night.
strike camp.
After listening to Li Dingkun's military order, the generals of the Qin army became excited and excited to lead their troops to pursue the Qi army. Li Dingkun selected a few trusted generals and asked them to quickly light up their light cavalry and follow him out of the city to pursue.
Li Dingkun didn't even bother to go back home and put on his armor, so he mounted his horse, picked up a big gun, ordered the city gate to be opened, and led the assembled Qin army's light cavalry towards the Qi army's camp.
The Qin army crossed the antlers and trenches and entered the Qi army's camp. However, they saw only burnt bonfires and torches on the ground, and the entire camp was empty. Li Dingkun looked around, quickly raised his big gun, and urged
The Qin army quickly pursued and killed the Qi army in the direction where the Qi army might retreat.
The 50,000 Qin troops swept past the Qi army and the Dali barracks in a flash, chasing towards the Qin-Shu border. Within half an hour of pursuit, they could see dust flying in front of them, as if there was a large army in action. Li Dingkun
Order the Qin army to work together and pursue them vigorously, and must seize the opportunity to defeat the Qi army!
After chasing for more than ten miles, they could already see the silhouettes of men and horses in front of them, and they were about to catch up. Li Dingkun and his Qin army became more energetic and urged their horses to pursue even more urgently.
Looking at the mountains in front of him, Li Dingkun's heart moved. He looked at the generals around him, waiting to stop the army. Seeing Li Dingkun's horse slowly stop, the generals also stopped, and gathered around Li Dingkun to ask
He said: "General, why do you want to stay here? The Qi army is ahead."
Li Dingkun looked ahead and asked: "Can you see the mountains in front of us? I always feel that the Qi army is retreating strangely, as if they are trying to lead us into the mountains."
A general of the Qin army laughed and said: "General, you are too careful! The Qi army heard that our Qin State had formed an alliance with the Chen State and was defeated overnight. They were already running for their lives. There were only a few small hills in front. We sent people to occupy them first.
That's the mountain, how can we be frightened by a few mountains at this time!"
There were generals around him who agreed, thinking that the Qi army was definitely in a panic. How could they find the time to set up an ambush? Besides, the Qin army had tens of thousands of cavalry and a few mountains could do nothing!
Li Dingkun thought about it, maybe the Qi army wanted to use a few mountains to delay their pursuit. So he ordered the two generals to take three thousand light cavalry each to the two wings and sweep the mountains on both sides.
Then he urged the army to continue the pursuit. The forward of the Qin army looked like they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, but saw countless flags erected on the opposite mountain, and then there were loud shouts of killing.
Li Dingkun immediately took the horse and looked forward in surprise. He saw countless Qi soldiers slowly pouring out from the mountains. A man and horse walked out from behind a mountain, and a large flag was erected with the word "Zilong" written on it.
Li Dingkun felt nervous and thought to himself: He still fell into Zilong's scheme, abandoned the city and ran into Zilong's ambush.
Li Dingkun looked around, and saw the Qi Army and the Dali Army slowly emerging from a distance. He felt strange in his heart. The Qi Army and the Dali Army had been being chased by him, so how could they set up an ambush around them?
Zilong looked at Li Dingkun and said loudly: "General Li, are you willing to fight Zilong again at this time?"
Li Dingkun couldn't help but grin. He knew that he was definitely no match for Zilong. No matter what he said at this time, it would be useless. He had to rely entirely on his own skills. So Li Dingkun said to the generals around him: "Generals, we are going to fight the Qi army at this time.
In the decisive battle, Qi's army is no more than this. As long as we charge with all our strength, we will definitely defeat Qi's army. Everyone, come with me and charge!"
The generals also agreed in unison, then shouted, followed Li Dingkun and killed the Qi army in front of them.
However, the Qi army did not panic. Countless crossbowmen flashed out from behind the Qingqi. They bent their bows and arrows and shot sharp arrows at the charging Qin army. The Qin army rushing in front were hit one after another, including men and horses.
The arrow fell to the ground, and the horse behind him stepped on it, and was trampled to a pulp before his eyes.
The Qing cavalry of the Qi army waited for two waves of bows and crossbows to be fired before they waved their weapons and charged towards the Qin army. The Qin army was killed by the crossbows and their momentum was blocked. However, although the Qi army attacked later, they charged fiercely.
At that time, more than 100,000 stables of the two armies were fighting in one place.
Zilong only looked for Li Dingkun and came to kill him. Li Dingkun also kept watching Zilong and saw that Zilong had already rushed over. There were two generals beside Li Dingkun. He hurriedly urged his horse to meet him. Each of the two generals waved a sword.
, one danced a spear and wanted to attack Zilong from both sides.
Zilong's horse continued to charge forward. He first thrust forward with his spear, and the spear pierced General Qin's throat. Then he turned around, pulled back the spear, and flicked the spear of another General Qin, and then backhanded him.
With one shot, the Qin general holding the spear was stabbed under his horse.
In the flash of lightning, Zilong had already stabbed two Qin generals, and his horses rushed to Li Dingkun. Li Dingkun gritted his teeth, strengthened his courage, and shouted: "Well done!"
, brandishing his spear, he came towards Zilong to kill him.
Zilong smiled coldly and looked at Li Dingkun's gun with the gun in his hand. Li Dingkun's gun was smashed aside. Li Dingkun felt that the gun was about to be released. Although he could hold it, the tiger's mouth felt numb. Zilong was about to be smashed.
He fired Li Dingkun's iron gun, rushed forward, and swept the gun in his hand across Li Dingkun's back.
Li Dingkun, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, looked sideways and saw Zilong's big gun sweeping towards him, so he quickly turned sideways and hid aside, and Zilong's big gun was cleared.
Zilong rushed over, and several more Qin Army soldiers came up to him. Zilong swung his big gun to the left and right, and the Qin Army cavalry were swept off their horses. Zilong took the horses, turned around, and continued to kill Li Dingkun.
Li Dingkun had barely escaped Zilong's shot just now, and was secretly thinking he was lucky. When he saw Zilong charging at him again, he knew that he would be picked off by Zilong within a few more rounds, so he didn't care about his face.
Turn the horse's head and flee towards Hanzhong.
Zilong didn't chase him, he just raised his hand to take off his long bow, took the eagle-feathered arrow, aimed accurately, and shot the arrow with a whoosh. Li Dingkun waved his spear and just ran away. The sound of killing was everywhere, but he couldn't hear it.
There was the sound of a bow and arrow from behind. The arrow shot straight into Li Dingkun's back. Li Dingkun screamed "Oh!" and fell down from his horse.
Soldiers from the Qi army rushed over, jumped off their horses and tied up Li Dingkun with ropes. When the Qin army saw their general turning around and trying to escape, Zilong shot an arrow at the horse's feet. They lost all fighting spirit and turned their horses' heads and fled back.
How could the Qi army let him go and pursued him closely?
At this time, outside Hanzhong City, several soldiers of the Qin army who had abandoned their armor ran to the city and shouted to the defenders inside the city: "General Li was ambushed in pursuit and was already fighting with the Qi army. General Li asked us to come back."
Send an order and order all the troops in the city to come out and fight the Qi army to the death!"
After hearing this, the garrison in the city hurriedly issued an order to assemble the defenders, opened the city gate, and followed the soldiers who conveyed the order to kill together. The Qin army, which was rushing for reinforcements, advanced for less than half an hour when they saw
The defeated troops of the Qin army retreated in front. The generals of the Qin army hurriedly stopped the defeated troops and ordered them to follow them to fight back and fight the decisive battle with the Qi army. The defeated troops rushed towards the Qin army and shouted, "The general has been hit by an arrow and has been killed."
We were captured alive by Qi's army, we'd better return to the city quickly!
The Qin army that came for reinforcements was confused by the shouts of the defeated troops. Some people rushed back with the defeated troops. Those Qin generals thought about it. It was useless to go to the rescue at this time. It was better to return to the city and hold on until the reinforcements arrived.
Come.
The tens of thousands of Qin troops came out of the city in a hurry and retreated back in a hurry. The tens of thousands of people in the rear group changed to the front group and retreated to Hanzhong City.
When the Qin army arrived at the Qi army camp, they saw that there were countless deep pits in the Qi army camp. When they got to the city, they saw that the flags on the city had long been replaced by the flags of the Qi army and Dali. Prince Duan of Dali was leading the attack
The soldiers below stood on the city wall.
The Qin army was unable to advance and retreat for a while, not knowing what to do. At this time, the Hanzhong city in front had been occupied by the Qi army, and behind it was the Qi army's pursuers. They could not capture the city if they advanced, but countless fierce Qi troops retreated. While the Qin army was hesitating,
The Qi army led by Zilong also arrived. Tens of thousands of Qin troops were surrounded outside Hanzhong City.
Zilong urged his horse forward and shouted to the Qin army: "Qin army, listen, your general Li Dingkun has been captured by me, and you are also tightly surrounded by me. If you want to survive, please abandon your weapons and surrender quickly. We, the Qin army,
If you don’t kill, surrender the pawn!”
Tens of thousands of Qi troops behind them shouted in unison: "Surrender, no killing! Surrender, no killing!"
Listening to the uniform shouts of the Qi army, the Qin army's heart trembled. The Qin army wanted to rush out and escape back to Qin. But as soon as they rushed in front of the Qi army, they were shot into hedgehogs by the Qi army's crossbows.
.Looking at the Qi Army and Dali Army surrounded by darkness, and looking at their companions who were shot into hedgehogs, the Qin Army threw away their swords, knelt on the ground and surrendered. Once they surrendered, the Qin Army around them also followed suit.
He picked up his weapon and raised his hands.
Zilong looked at the surrendering Qin army in front of him, and then looked at the Qi army's flag on the top of the Hanzhong city. He raised the big gun in his hand and shouted: "The Qi army will win!"
Thousands of Qi troops and Dali troops shouted together: "We must win! We must win!"
When Zilong attacked Hanzhong this time, he knew that the forces of both sides were quite equal. If he wanted to capture Hanzhong, he could not rely on attacking the city. Therefore, he deliberately showed the enemy weakness and gradually made the Qin army feel arrogant. He then used the night to dig in the camp.
They built countless tunnels and ambushed more than ten thousand Qi troops in the tunnels. Then they retreated overnight on the pretext of the alliance between Qin and Chen. In fact, the army had already laid ambush, and the dust along the way was caused by thousands of Qingqi dragging branches. When Li Dingkun's pursuers were ambushed,
Later, the defenders were lured out, and Prince Duan led the Qi army hiding in the tunnels of the camp to capture Hanzhong City.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Zilong's 100,000 allied troops defeated the 100,000 Qin troops defending the city. He captured Hanzhong City, captured Qin General Li Dingkun alive, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and captured more than 60,000 enemies. There was countless food and grass in the city.
Hanzhong is also the gateway to Xianyang, the capital of Qin. Once Hanzhong is captured, the Qi army can directly enter Xianyang.
When the King of Qin in Xianyang City heard that Hanzhong had been occupied by the Qi army, he was horrified. He hurriedly sent an order to recruit Qin troops from all over the country to guard Xianyang. He also urged the Chen army to send troops as soon as possible to capture Xiang State, Lincheng and other places to contain the Qi army. Then he
Prince Li Bi went to Ancheng and must defend Ancheng. At the same time, he sent his consort Bai Dingzhou and General Tong Shun to lead tens of thousands of Qin troops to set up defenses along the way from Hanzhong to Xianyang to stop the Qi army.
