Under Zhao Bing's decisive call, Zhao Zhu decisively abandoned his father and led the southern Xinjiang army to retreat frantically under the cover of heavy armored cavalry.
The army in Southern Xinjiang was overall strong, with strict military discipline, and its overall combat power was even stronger than that of Western Chu. Faced with the charge of nearly 300,000 troops, there was still no panic. The retreat was still orderly.
Even after the fighting, there are still nearly 150,000 troops. It is impossible to annihilate them all with just the strength of Xi Chu and Li Yang.
In order to delay the pursuit of the army and cover the retreat of the main army, Zhao Zhu chose to sacrifice 10,000 of the strongest heavy armored cavalry in southern Xinjiang, using their sacrifices to buy time for the rest of the army to retreat and retain their strength.
The heavy armored cavalry was divided into dozens of cavalry phalanxes and began to charge towards the pursuing army without any hope of life and death. Although it suffered heavy losses, it still greatly slowed down the pursuit offensive. In the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry was definitely the strongest military branch!
Under the leadership of Zhao Zhu, hundreds of thousands of troops were constantly withdrawing from the battlefield. As long as they could return to southern Xinjiang, they would still have the capital to negotiate with Liyang.
Zhao Zhu had made several preparations. After returning to southern Xinjiang, he mobilized the people of southern Xinjiang to defend and delay the imperial court's attack with their lives.
In the worst case, both the jade and the stone will be destroyed. Even if Li Yang really doesn't care about the lives of millions of people in Southern Xinjiang and storms the cities of Southern Xinjiang, he can still lead his army to retreat to the hundreds of thousands of mountains in Southern Xinjiang and deal with Li Yang. You know, Southern Xinjiang
The 100,000-strong mountain has a harsh environment and is infested with poisonous insects. Not everyone can enter it, not just as long as you have a large army.
The man holding a long bow was suspended in the air, watching all this coldly. After this round of fighting, nearly 600,000 troops from all sides had already been killed, with corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood flowing.
War is cruel, but Zhao Kai has no choice. The feudal dynasty is no better than modern civilization. Disputes and killings are the main theme of dynasty replacement. One general's achievements will last forever.
Looking at the dozens of southern Xinjiang armies that were frantically retreating south, Zhao Kai knew that no matter what, he could not let them leave today. If he let them leave, he was afraid that more people would die in the future. The Liangmang War has begun, and in a short time
There are no more large armies to attack southern Xinjiang.
"Let me end this civil strife!"
The long bow in Zhao Kai's hand is not a real bow, but the character "Bing" transformed into the shape of Hou Yi's bow. There is still a certain difference between it and the actual bow.
Zhao Kai drew the bow to its full length, and the arrow immediately came out, but this arrow was different from the usual one. The arrow was much larger than the ordinary one, and there was a groove at the arrow.
Zhao Kai mobilized his mental power and embedded a jade tablet engraved with divine symbols in the groove of the arrow.
The arrow was pointed at the front of the retreating southern Xinjiang army's vanguard. Zhao Kai slowly closed his eyes and loosened his string!
With a whoosh, the arrows separated!
Due to the larger size of the arrow, this arrow is obviously much slower than ordinary arrows, and is completely inconspicuous on the chaotic battlefield.
After a long time, the arrow flew over a distance of more than ten miles in diameter, passed through the ongoing battlefield, and accurately landed in the open space directly in front of the retreating army in southern Xinjiang. At the moment of landing, the arrow and the arrow were
The jade pendant fell into pieces in an instant. The arrow did not hit anyone, as if it was a harmless arrow to humans and animals!
Immediately afterwards, the word "Explosion" appeared out of thin air, with beautiful font, like a work of art.
The world seemed to become quiet instantly, and even the sound of the armies fighting disappeared. Suddenly, a dazzling white light appeared on the earth, like the sun falling to the earth!
The huge ball of light swallowed up everything around it!
boom!!!
A huge explosion sounded throughout the world! The heat wave generated by the explosion blew up Zhao Kai's clothes and hair!
No one knows what it means for a weapon that is close to a small nuclear bomb to appear on the battlefield of cold weapons! All they know is that the battle is over when this arrow is shot.
The Qingqi who fled first were almost completely wiped out, and the southern Xinjiang infantry who followed were blown dozens of feet away by the heat wave. Seeing the mushroom cloud rising in front of them and the corpses in front of them, they lost the courage to escape.
Even if you want to escape, there is no way to cross this large pit hundreds of feet wide.
Zhao Kai, wearing a dragon robe, flew directly above the army, with full momentum, like a god!
Zhao Kai said in a voice that everyone could hear:
"Soldiers! I am your emperor, Zhao Kai! I know that many of you are loyal to the King of Southern Xinjiang, but there are more soldiers who are coerced and unwilling to rebel. Today I
I promise you that as long as you lay down your weapons and do not make any resistance, except for the culprit, I can promise you that bygones are bygones!"
Zhao Kai's words were like the sound of nature in their eyes. If ordinary generals said this, they would still doubt it. Soldiers are not afraid of deceit. There are many generals in history who have tricked and killed surrendered soldiers. In their eyes, human life is not as real as exchanging human heads for military merit.
But it would be different if it was the emperor who persuaded him to surrender. Jun Wuxi said that the emperor's words were imperial edicts, not to mention that they were said in front of everyone in the world.
For a moment, almost everyone seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. Except for a few diehards, almost everyone chose to lay down their weapons, including the Qingzhou army, as well as the remaining members of the Dragon Palace and Nanhai Guanyin Sect, who also gave up resistance one after another and raised their hands.
Surrender. Of course, many first-level masters took advantage of the chaos to escape, and there was no time to deal with them.
Seeing the corpses lying on the ground, Zhao Kai still softened his heart and did not choose to continue killing. Enough people had died in this civil war.
Zhao Kai fell directly in front of Zhao Zhu. Unlike the other people who surrendered, Zhao Zhu had many dead soldiers around him and did not choose to put down his weapons.
After all, the father and son have been running southern Xinjiang for twenty years and have cultivated many die-hard people. However, what makes Zhao Kai a little strange is that military advisor Nalan Youci was not found in the army, and he didn't know where he went.
A group of dead soldiers surrounded Zhao Zhu and waved their troops at Zhao Kai, hoping to kill him, but Zhao Zhu stopped him. The situation was over, and no amount of resistance was in vain.
Unlike the Guangling King Zhao Yi and his son, who begged for mercy, this prince of Southern Xinjiang, who was blessed with great fortune, left a sentence: "I hope your Majesty will treat the people of Southern Xinjiang well and refrain from killing more people." Then he swung his sword and killed himself.
A group of dead soldiers beside him also followed their master.
At the same time, King Zhao Bing of Yanchi did not choose to live after seeing the arrow. From the moment he decided to rebel, he had already realized that death was not something difficult to accept.
The great battle was over in less than a day.
Zhao Kai's side won a complete victory. Qingzhou and the 300,000 troops in southern Xinjiang died in the battle. Nearly 100,000 people were killed. Of course, many of them were killed by Zhao Kai's arrow.
Nearly two hundred thousand soldiers stood densely together like ants on the ground, and the armor and weapons next to them were piled up into a hill.
