This Chengwu battle was a passive decisive battle for Hu Hai as a last resort!
The original purpose of his trip north this time was for sea salt and shipbuilding. After all, Ziying has still disappeared, as if he has disappeared from the world. The messengers who went to Nanhai County to deliver the edict and the Dragon Guard have not heard any news yet.
, so facing Baiyue Land, which has almost the entire Great Qin Navy’s buildings and ships, Hu Hai felt that he had to prepare for a rainy day!
There is a natural chasm of the Yangtze River. If there are not enough naval forces and ships, Zhao Tuo and others only need to move the navy in the Yangtze River, and the Qin soldiers, who are all landlubbers, can only watch helplessly.
Big ships, especially those that can go to sea, are not that easy to build! It may take a year or two to build just one!
Is it really impossible to control the situation by crossing the river with Zhao Tuo and others?
Immediately afterwards there were rumors and the incident of Zhao Xie leaving after being attacked by Jixia Academy, so no matter where you look at Hu Hai, you have to go north to see what Meng Tian is thinking!
The only unexpected thing is that the ministers and obviously high-ranking officials in the DPRK have connections with Xiang Liang, which led to the leakage of the news that Hu Hai secretly went north. Otherwise, Hu Hai should be almost in Xianyang by now!
However, for Hu Hai, if he wins this decisive battle, the entire Central Plains will be wiped out; if he loses, he will die at most!
Hu Hai even wrote the edict of passing the throne. As long as Chengwu County is destroyed, the edict will be taken to Xianyang by Xinying and handed over to Yingteng, and the successor will be Ziying, who has still disappeared!
Hu Hai believed that Ziying was definitely not dead. Then after learning the news that he would succeed to the throne, he would definitely come forward to inherit the throne that should have been his!
In this way, the position of the emperor of Qin has gone full circle and finally returned to his original position!
Everyone is happy!
At this moment, Hu Hai can choose to continue this originally just a small battle. The best result is that some of the more than 10,000 Great Qin cavalry escape! The worst result is that all the more than 10,000 Great Qin cavalry are annihilated!
However, in today's weather, the Great Qin cavalry who have been fighting for a long time, especially the Xuanwu Army cavalry who are still covered in heavy armor, are probably at the end of their strength!
I am afraid that by the time Xiang Liang's army is encircled, under the current weather and under the siege of hundreds of thousands of rebels, the possibility of the total annihilation of the more than 10,000 Qin troops is almost certain in Hu Hai's view!
In Chengwu County, in addition to the more than 10,000 Chengwu civilians who had just joined the army, there are only more than 3,000 wounded soldiers of the Qin Dynasty left! There are no extra troops to continue to invest in the battlefield to fight with Xiang Liang and have a decisive battle!
And Xiang Liang has at least more than 200,000 troops behind him who are quickly rushing to the battlefield!
If we win this battle, the only result is that Xiang Liang can be killed!
But...you know, Xiang Liang is dead and Xiang Yu is still alive!
Hu Hai silently put down the monocular telescope in his hand, thinking quickly in his heart!
Eight thousand Da Qin elite cavalry plus two thousand Xuanwu Army heavy armor cavalry were exchanged for Xiang Liang's six thousand Jiangdong cavalry to be buried with them. It's not worth it at all! And if these more than ten thousand Da Qin soldiers are completely wiped out, it seems that there is no need to continue at all.
We're guarding Chengwu County!
Because there are no elite soldiers left to defend it!
Xiang Liang’s life should not be cut off!
"Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Now that he had made up his mind, Hu Hai quickly ordered even though he was still unwilling to do so!
Long Xuan and Chen Youguang have been following Hu Hai. They don't have Hu Hai's telescope in their hands, so they naturally don't know the current battlefield situation! Although they are wondering why the emperor just ordered the entire army to attack, why he ordered the withdrawal of troops just a moment later, but Long Xuan
Still implemented the emperor's orders very well!
"Clang clang clang!"
The crisp and rapid sound of ringing gold suddenly sounded in Chengwu County!
Worried that the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who were fighting in the noisy battlefield in front could not hear it, Long Xuan specially placed more than ten golden gongs on the top of Chengwu City and sounded them at the same time. The sound suddenly spread for more than ten miles!
Seeing that he was about to rush to Xiang Liang in less than a hundred steps and kill the biggest anti-Qin leader, his head was presented to the emperor. However, when he heard the sound of gold from behind the army, Weng Zhong was a little dumbfounded!
Isn't the emperor just kidding?
Hearing this golden sound, the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army that were charging forward all slowed down, and the pressure on the Jiangdong cavalry who was struggling to resist suddenly became lighter!
Weng Zhong and the heavy armored cavalry who were fighting did not understand the situation, but Du Teng, Xia Houying, and Fan Kuai, who were on both sides preparing to cut off Xiang Liang's retreat, understood the situation very well!
Xiang Liang's reinforcements arrived too fast!
Du Teng knew very well that this must be his Majesty's helpless retreat after discovering Xiang Liang's reinforcements! Although, the thousands of cavalrymen who saw most of Xiang Liang's tea time were about to be killed, including Xiang Liang.
Grant the head, but the military orders are like mountains!
Hearing the clarion call for the entire army to attack, the entire army cannot be afraid even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them. When hearing the sound of gold, the entire army immediately retreats back to the camp, even if there are many beauties in front of them, there must be no delay. This is what Hu Hai instilled in the Bashang Camp.
The first idea for 600,000 soldiers!
With the sound of gold ringing, Du Teng, Xia Houying and Fan Kuai's eight thousand Qin elite cavalry, who were about to cut off Xiang Liang's retreat in less than two hundred steps, turned their horses and began to retreat!
Finally, they were cruising on both sides of the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, and they were plundering the formation for the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army who were slowly and actively leaving the battlefield!
The movements of the Qin elite cavalry on both sides and the retreat of his heavy armored cavalry made Weng Zhong know that the sound of gold he heard was not an illusion! At this moment, he also saw a large number of Xiang Liang's reinforcements less than three miles away from the battlefield!
One stick smashed the head of a Jiangdong cavalry horse that rushed towards him. Weng Zhong reached out to grab the Jiangdong cavalry who was about to take advantage of his distraction, and inserted the giant mace in his hand into the horse corpse. Then he ignored the Jiangdong cavalryman.
With a look of fear on his face, the cavalry grabbed his legs with both hands and swung them suddenly!
"call!"
"ah!"
A large humanoid arrow shot through the air with the Jiangdong cavalryman who was not dead screaming in terror! The target was exactly where Xiang Liang was, who was closely guarded by hundreds of personal guards!
This large humanoid arrow only flew more than thirty steps before it fell to the ground feebly and turned into a ball of flesh!
Even though there were still dozens of steps away from where Xiang Liang was, Xiang Liang and others hurriedly backed away when they saw the big humanoid arrow flying towards them. When they came back to their senses, they realized that they seemed to be too neurotic!
However, even so, the brute strength of this black iron man is already breathtaking!
That's a person, not a stone!
Weng Zhong's god-like image was instantly deeply imprinted on the hearts of Xiang Liang and the few remaining three thousand Jiangdong cavalry! It became their lingering nightmare!
Weng Zhong also knew that it was impossible for him to throw the Jiangdong cavalry on Xiang Liang's head, so after throwing the flying man, he picked up the giant mace and turned around and left! Wherever he passed, the Jiangdong cavalry ran away as if they were encountering wild beasts!
No one wants to be Superman!
Xiang Liang also heard the sound of the Qin army withdrawing. There was no need for him to ring the gold at this moment. The frightened Jiangdong cavalry, who had been killed by the overwhelming offensive of two thousand Xuanwu Army heavy armored cavalry, could not wait for the Qin army to retreat, let alone
Take advantage of the retreat of the Qin army to cover up the killing!
Weng Zhong's last flying man made all the Jiangdong cavalry lose their courage!
Some of the two thousand heavy armored soldiers of the Xuanwu Army dismounted and began to collect the bodies of the dead cavalry. They lifted up the injured Paoze who had fallen off his horse and began to slowly retreat towards Chengwu County!
On both sides, eight thousand Great Qin elite cavalry were cruising slowly to plunder the formation!
Xiang Liang and the remaining less than 3,000 Jiangdong cavalry who were lucky enough to escape the disaster watched as more than 10,000 Qin cavalry left the battlefield and headed towards Chengwu County!
…
Less than 10,000 Qin soldiers had just marched outside Chengwu County, and an overwhelming cheer suddenly erupted from the entire city wall!
Although the Chengwu people who were all over the city during the battle could not see as clearly and carefully as Hu Hai who was holding a monocular, they were seven or eight miles away and it was still in the daytime, and the visibility was extremely good in the wilderness, from a high position.
These Chengwu people can still roughly see the Qin soldiers destroying Xiang Liang's front army, destroying more than two hundred ferocious chariots, and forcing Xiang Liang's cavalry to retreat and flee in embarrassment!
Only 10,000 Qin soldiers were able to beat hundreds of thousands of rebels into panic, and then calmly exit the battlefield under the gaze of tens of thousands of rebels. What a breathtaking sight this is!
Everyone knows that the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are unrivaled in the world, but legends are just legends after all, and they are far less real and credible than seeing them with one's own eyes!
Let me ask you, is there any cavalry in this world who can defeat an enemy army that is at least ten times their size and flee in panic with just over 10,000 cavalrymen while only suffering less than 1,000 casualties!?
Today, the fate of the people of Chengwu County has been firmly tied to the Emperor of Qin and the more than ten thousand soldiers of the Qin army. They will both be prosperous and suffer losses! Because of this, whoever sees his army is so brave will not feel sorry for him.
Cheering for it?
The entire Chengwu County suddenly fell into a sea of joy!
The two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, covered with fine scales, have become the gods in the hearts of all the people in Chengwu County!
The shining visor, the fine armor, the bright broadsword, and the tall and majestic mount completely ignited the passion in the hearts of all the people the moment they entered the city! Heroes are the objects of respect for everyone in any era!
The eight thousand Great Qin Jingqi, who had also established great military exploits, were suddenly left out! The eight thousand Great Qin Jingqi were very excited! However, the emperor's words suddenly made the eight thousand Great Qin Jingqi's fighting spirit soar!
"You are the bravest soldiers in the Qin Dynasty! You are my most loyal soldiers!"
What else can compare with these words from His Majesty the Emperor?
This sentence is enough!
Compared with the joyful Chengwu County, the hundreds of thousands of troops who followed Xiang Liang all the way from Suiyang to Chengwu were gloomy!
After just one battle, all the survivors of the six kingdoms who had been confident enough to kill Emperor Qin and take his head suddenly stopped!
The Qin army's combat power cast a shadow over everyone's hearts in this battle!!~!
