In the canyon, one by one the fleeing Korean soldiers were faced with the rain of arrows. In an instant, countless Korean soldiers fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
Under such a canyon ambush terrain, the dense arrows shot from high places left a Korean soldier with nowhere to escape.
Screams and sounds of fear filled the entire canyon.
Under the arrows of the Qin army, the Han soldiers died tragically in the canyon in pieces.
Bai Yan rode his horse and watched the Korean soldiers in the valley in the distance being shot one by one. He felt that this was like a different kind of 'trap killing'.
Bai Yan didn't know how Bai Qi felt when he killed Zhao Jun in Changping.
But now I see this scene happening because of his decision.
"Yan!"
Chai stepped forward and spoke softly.
Bai Yan heard the sound, came back to his senses, and turned to look at Chai.
"If you don't give the order, other Qin generals will lead their troops to capture Guangwu and Xingyang in the future. Those people will still die, and if they are given time to go back and practice, they will kill more Qin soldiers."
Chai said softly, looking at the Han soldiers in the canyon, he didn't want to see Bai Yan issue such an order and bear the infamy.
But he knew better that the expectations of General Bai Yu and all the soldiers were all on Bai Yan, and Bai Yan had no choice.
Guangwu and Xingyang will become Qin's territory sooner or later, but for Bai Yan, they cannot be captured by other generals.
If the Bai family cavalry disappears, it will not only mean that they leave Bai Yan and lose their reputation, but also those friends and brothers who died in the battle in the past.
After they died in battle in the past, the name of Bai's cavalry also became the reputation of their family.
General Bai Yu has been poisoned and comatose.
As a descendant of the Bai family, Bai Yan must support the Bai family's cavalry alone.
"Um."
Bai Yan listened to Chai's words and nodded, feeling much better.
Those who enter the battlefield with a sharp sword and a long sword are considered enemies. Regardless of whether those people are willing or not, even if they are forced, when they hear orders in the future, they will still wield the sharp sword in their hands to kill people.
Before, they were farmers and common people, but when they brought up sharp swords, they were soldiers.
It was indeed because of him that these Korean soldiers were killed, but more importantly, it was because of the war in the world!
"Thank you!"
Bai Yan turned his head and spoke to Chai.
Chai's words made him feel for the first time that staying in Qin had other meanings besides asking for a title and a general to return home.
Chai looked at Bai Yan. For some reason, he suddenly felt that for a moment, Bai Yan seemed a little different. He couldn't tell, maybe it was an illusion!
"No need!"
Chai said softly.
Within the canyon.
As the screams disappeared, within the entire canyon, at a glance, thousands of corpses of Korean soldiers were lying in the canyon, with dense arrows piercing the ground and each corpse.
Sharp swords, long swords, and Korean flags nailed to the ground by more than a dozen arrows can be seen everywhere.
An ambush was set up in such a place, and there were more cavalry soldiers than Korean soldiers. Therefore, the moment Bai Yan lowered his hand, these more than 5,000 Korean soldiers were destined to have no way to survive.
The cavalry soldiers on the top of the mountain came down one after another to clean up the battlefield.
They had no baggage when heading north, so some of the arrows could continue to be used and naturally had to be recovered.
Bai Yan touched the city seal of Xingyang on Yi Cheng's corpse, which had dozens of arrows embedded in it, but there was an obvious arrow mark on it.
After getting up, he saw corpses all around him. Bai Yan could predict that he would see many more scenes like this in the future.
Wan Feng.
With dusk.
Guo Chao, the defender of Guangwu City, has led more than 4,000 Korean soldiers to Wanfeng.
However, looking at the closed gates of Wanfeng City, Guo Chao had a vague premonition about why Wanfeng had closed the city gates just now.
Not only Guo Chao, but also the Han soldiers who came with Guo Chao looked at each other.
"Go to the city gate and ask the guards to open the door!"
Guo Chao rode on his war horse and said to his cronies.
If it hadn't been for the seal of General Han Qiu on the bamboo slips and that the person delivering the letter was one of General Feng Wen's lieutenants, he would have withdrawn his troops immediately.
The confidant accepted the order and then rode towards the city gate on horseback.
Guo Chao rode on the same spot, looking at the tower with a frown.
Just as his cronies were about to arrive at the city gate, Guo Chao suddenly saw that on the upper floor of Wanfeng City, the Korean soldiers who had been standing guard on the city road were leaving the city road.
In an instant, there was not a single soul on Nuo Da's city.
"Not good! Something has changed, get out quickly!"
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Guo Chao's forehead. He didn't know that something must have happened.
However, just as he turned around on his horse, he saw in the distance, countless Qin flags fluttering, and countless Qin troops rushing towards Wan Feng like a mountain.
"Qin Cavalry!"
"It's Qin's cavalry!!"
In the wilderness, a Korean soldier was looking at the Qin cavalry in the distance. Listening to the roar of iron hoofs, everyone felt that their legs and feet were weak. There were several Korean soldiers holding long swords.
Dropped directly to the ground.
"General, we have fallen into a trap!"
"General, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Guo Chao's confidant Han Zu rode his horse to Guo Chao's side and looked at the cavalry army in the distance with a fearful expression.
Compared with the new soldiers who had just been recruited into the army, they understood better what the Qin cavalry meant in this wilderness.
Don't leave again.
They are all going to die here.
"Walk!"
Guo Chao's face turned pale, his forehead was covered with sweat. He looked at the cavalry army in the distance and the closed Wanfeng City behind him. He quickly kicked his horse and rushed towards Sishui.
Xincheng has been captured by the Qin army, and the cavalry is in the east. Now he can only escape to the west.
"what to do?"
"what should we do?"
One of the Korean soldiers did not have a war horse. Seeing that the general Guo Chao had led his cronies to escape on horseback, everyone panicked.
Run, how could they possibly outrun the war horses?
Boom boom boom~!
Seeing that the Qin cavalry was about to arrive, a number of Han soldiers stood back to back, frightened and uneasy.
Boom boom boom~!
Along with the Qin cavalry army, they bypassed them and surrounded them.
At this moment, I don’t know who threw the Chang Ge first, or was too frightened to hold it steady. As the sound of the Chang Ge falling to the ground was heard, more and more Korean soldiers hurriedly threw away the Chang Ge in their hands.
In the end, all four thousand Korean soldiers stood there with empty hands.
Bai Yan rode his war horse and asked the cavalry soldiers to put down their bows and crossbows. He looked at Wanfeng City Gate, which was slowly opened by the Korean soldiers in the city.
Bai Yan rode his war horse, led Chai and others, and walked towards the city gate.
After getting rid of the defenders of Guangwu and Xingyang, the soldiers need to rest here for a night. Tomorrow he will lead the cavalry army southward and go straight to the new city to catch up with Qin's grain, grass and baggage. Naturally, he wants to see Feng Wen now.
Moreover, it would be better for Feng Wen to take over the two cities of Guangwu and Xingyang than to send troops to garrison them.
To the west of Wanfeng.
Guo Chao, leading a dozen of his followers, was galloping on horseback, finally leaving the wilderness and heading west into the mountains and rivers.
However, at the next moment, a famous Qin soldier holding a crossbow suddenly appeared on both sides of the mountain and river, and he fired arrows directly at their group.
"There's an ambush!"
While exclaiming, Guo Chao and a dozen of his cronies had no time to dodge.
Boo hoo hoo~!
While the horses were galloping, a number of Korean soldiers who were hit by arrows fell off their horses.
Guo Chao was hit by seven or eight arrows in a row, his horse galloped twice, fell to the ground and rolled several times, turning into a corpse.
