Shouts rang out among the mountains and rivers, followed by the sound of dense footsteps.
Several Korean soldiers were riding on war horses, constantly urging the running Korean soldiers.
Although they are said to be Han soldiers, in fact, most of them are men who work at home all year round. They have never been to the battlefield and have never held a long sword or a sword before.
"General Yi, there are already many soldiers who can't keep up."
A Han soldier general rode a horse and came to Xingyang guard Yi Cheng and spoke.
Having just joined the army, the new recruits have not yet adapted to this kind of long-distance travel. Many of them have already rested, and some young boys are already exhausted and vomiting.
"General Han Qiu is surrounded. Chenggao and Wanfeng have already assembled their forces. We must arrive at Sishui today."
Yi Cheng frowned and spoke.
He naturally also knew that those new soldiers were not suitable for long-distance attacks at the moment, but General Han Qiu was in a critical situation, and they had to rush to Wanfeng immediately to join Wanfeng's reinforcements.
"Tell the soldiers to go to Luzuo Mountain immediately. Once you pass Luzuo Mountain, you will reach Wanfeng. Once you reach Wanfeng, you can rest for a while!"
Yi Cheng said.
"promise!"
General Han Zu nodded, then turned around on his horse.
Lu Zuoshan.
Bai Yan rode a war horse and led the cavalry soldiers at the exit of the canyon.
I heard footsteps coming from the corner of the mountain in the distance.
Behind Bai Yan, one after another the iron cavalry soldiers raised their bows and crossbows.
"Yan, there's something wrong with the number of people!"
Chai listened to the footsteps and came to Bai Yan and said.
There was something wrong with the white eyes, and the brows were slightly furrowed.
Xingyang was only defended by more than 300 people, so how could there be such a movement?
Feng Wen lied to him? Absolutely impossible!
Feng Wen had no way out from the beginning, and Han Qiu had already been killed according to the letter given to him. Besides, if it weren't for Feng Wen, how could the Xingyang garrison be here.
"Could it be Zhao Jun?"
Chai said with a slightly strange expression.
If he could ambush Zhao's reinforcements unintentionally, it would be a great achievement.
After a while.
The Xingyang reinforcements finally appeared in front of them.
"Stop, it's the Qin cavalry!"
"Qin's cavalry! There is an ambush!"
The Korean soldiers who had just walked out of the corner of the mountain and entered the canyon immediately saw the densely packed Qin army in the distance. Suddenly, all the Korean soldiers became panicked and panicked.
"Quickly retreat!"
When Xingyang General Guard Yicheng saw this, his eyes widened and he quickly reined in his horse and shouted.
Yi Cheng didn't understand why there were Qin cavalry here. Aren't Qin cavalry besieging General Han Qiu?
But there's no time to care about that right now.
"Run!"
"run!"
As Yi Cheng finished speaking, all the Korean soldiers prepared to run back.
At this time, on the top of the mountains on both sides of the canyon, a figure named Qin Cavalry appeared. They all held crossbows and aimed at the canyon.
But behind him, on the way here, densely packed Qin soldiers appeared out of nowhere, all holding bows and crossbows.
Seeing this scene, Yi Cheng's face turned even paler. Knowing that he was surrounded, he immediately drew his sword.
"Form up!"
Yi Cheng roared quickly.
Yi Cheng is a general, so he is naturally good at leading troops. However, a new soldier holding a shield has never been drilled. In a panic, he can't remember what forming a formation is.
Seeing that the exit of the canyon and the mountaintops on both sides were densely packed with Qin soldiers, every Han soldier was only focused on protecting himself, back to back with frightened expressions on their faces.
The exit of the canyon.
Not to mention Bai Yan and Chai, even the other cavalry generals saw the Korean soldiers in the canyon and saw at a glance that the Korean soldiers had not practiced at all.
"Yan!"
Chai looked at Bai Yan with a worried look.
This situation was unexpected by everyone. He looked at the Korean soldiers in the canyon. They numbered at least four thousand. To kill or not to kill?
When you pick up a sword, you become the enemy's soldier. On the battlefield, life and death are inevitable. Chai understands this truth.
But at first glance, those Han soldiers were the people of Xingyang. If they were to kill them all, then there would probably be no strong men left in Xingyang, and Bai Yan would be infamy.
"I'm going to persuade you to surrender."
Bai Yan said.
He is still young, and he doesn't want to suffer the same infamy as Bai Qi at such an age and make the same mistakes as Bai Qi.
Looking at the Korean soldiers in the canyon, Bai Yan slowly rode forward.
"Those who surrender will live! If you put down your sword and gun, you can go back."
Bai Yan shouted.
After Bai Yan's words fell, commotion suddenly began among the army of Korean soldiers in the canyon. It was obvious that Bai Yan's words had an effect.
And just then.
When Yi Cheng saw this scene, hope seemed to rekindle in his eyes.
"You must not surrender to Qin. If you surrender to Qin, it will be treason, and your wife and children will be held accountable."
Yi Cheng shouted loudly. Then he turned to look at his cronies.
"Pass on my military orders. If anyone surrenders, they will be killed without mercy!"
Yi Cheng ordered.
Yi Cheng was a veteran general, so he could naturally see that the Qin army's cavalry seemed hesitant.
At this moment, Yi Cheng's lieutenant suddenly thought of something and said to Yi Cheng.
"General, maybe a thousand soldiers can take off their Korean armor and retreat with the army to break out of the encirclement!"
The deputy general said to Yi Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Yi Cheng immediately understood what the deputy general meant and quickly ordered a thousand Korean soldiers to remove their Korean armor.
The actions of Han's army were naturally noticed by Bai Yan, Chai and others. They did not expect that General Han would be so insidious.
Bai Yan looked at the sunset, which was approaching. According to original predictions, the Korean army in Guangwu would arrive at Wanfeng soon. If the cavalry army could not reach Wanfeng as planned, Wanfeng would be in danger.
"I say it again, if you surrender, you will survive!"
Bai Yan rode on his horse and shouted again, one hand already raised.
He doesn't want to suffer the infamy.
But if we continue to be merciful and soft-hearted, once we really let the Xingyang garrison in front of us leave, let alone capture Guangwu, Xingyang, and even Wanfeng, something may happen. By then, we will not have enough credit to return to the new city, and all our efforts will be in vain.
Watching the Korean army in the canyon remove their Korean armor, they mixed with the Korean army and broke out from behind.
Bai Yan knew that if he did not give the order again, the cavalry soldiers who would cut off their retreat would pay their lives because of his kindness.
Infamy, memorize it!
"Fire the arrow!"
Bai Yan put down his hand and ordered.
In an instant.
Behind Bai Yan, on both sides of the valley, the cavalry soldiers, one after another, all pulled the triggers of their crossbows, and then stepped back. The cavalry soldiers who had been waiting came forward and continued to take turns.
Thousands of arrows were fired into the valley.
I will continue to post more tomorrow. I have a little mental problem today.
