Chapter 124: The First Encounter of Lord Wu'an and Lord Xinling
When Xinlingjun's chariot troops approached from the shore, they were attacking the right wing and blocking the enemy's breakthrough, the Qin soldiers were a little panicked because this Wei army came from behind them, which was very unfavorable to them. After hearing the familiar sound of war drums, the Wei soldiers no longer jumped into the river helplessly, but turned around and continued to fight with the Qin people.
Bai Qi really didn't expect that Xinlingjun's troops would appear here.
Moreover, this army did not look like a tired army, but was full of fighting spirit and fighting drums. Wei Wuji crossed the river and rushed to support him so quickly. This only shows one thing. After receiving the king's order, he guessed that something might happen to Jin Bi and hurried to meet. The current situation is very unfavorable to the Qin people. The Qin people have been fighting fiercely for a long time. Now that Wei has strong support, Bai Qi does not have enough personnel to resist Wei Wuji's army.
Bai Qi frowned and looked around him. He also felt that it was a little tricky. The biggest change came from Wei Wuji. He did not expect that the rumor that the young master of Wei, who was in conflict with his brother and had such insight and courage, had such courage. He immediately ordered the soldiers besieged the right wing of the Wei army to evacuate the battlefield. When the deputy general heard this order, he was stunned. Bai Qi's order would definitely lead to the collapse of the legion.
In such a melee, if they evacuate, the front would definitely collapse completely and cause greater chaos.
However, no one could refuse to implement Bai Qi's order. When the deputy general raised the order flag, Qin general Qiang was also stunned and hesitated for a moment before he ordered the driver to hurriedly take him to escape from the battlefield. When his general flag fled north, the soldiers of Qin did not resist the breakout of the Wei soldiers and fled one after another. The Wei army was overjoyed, reversed the situation, and even began to chase and kill the defeated soldiers in front of him everywhere.
The Wei people surrounded by three sides seemed to have seen a way out at this moment, a gap that could continue to let them survive. They started to break through from the right wing like crazy, while Bai Qi ordered to drive them away and not to wipe them out completely. In just a moment, tens of thousands of defeated soldiers from Wei State rushed towards Wei Wuji's army. They shouted, cried, looked at their own flags, and were desperate.
Wei Wuji gritted his teeth and his whole body trembled.
Bai Qi, this despicable villain!!
"Scatter! Leave a way for them!!" Wei Wuji hurriedly ordered that the generals everywhere began to get busy. They were originally an arrow aimed at Bai Qi, but because of their own defeated soldiers, they had no choice but to turn into several lines. The defeated soldiers of Wei rushed into the rear from these vacant areas. At this moment, Bai Qi's main army stopped pursuing and evacuated to the north in an orderly manner.
Meng Ao continued to drive away the defeated troops of Wei with his cavalry, but he led the remaining troops to evacuate the southwest along the coast.
At this moment, Wei Wuji was still hesitating whether he should have released his chariots to pursue. Now it was the time when Bai Qi's army was the most exhausted. The battle with Jin Bi lasted for several hours. But the problem was that as the color became increasingly darker and he could not see things at night, Wei Wuji was worried that the losses of the chariot troops he relied on in the night battle would be very serious. After he hesitating for a moment, he ordered his disciples to cover up and kill the defeated Qin soldiers, while his chariot was heading forward.
He wanted to take people to pursue the Qin army himself.
The Wei chariot troops killed out, but their pursuit direction was actually Bai Qi's direction. Wei Wuji knew in his heart that if he was pursuing the weak side army, Bai Qi might turn around and attack the Wei army on the shore again. But if he went to pursue Bai Qi, the partial army would not have the strength to return to the battlefield. Bai Qi's retreat was not panic, and it did not look like a evacuation, but rather a triumphant victory.
Wei Wuji's chariot quickly caught up with the enemy. Just as the chariot was approaching, a large-scale crossbowmen appeared among the Qin people who were broken behind. Arrows all over the sky were flying towards the chariots. The trampers on the chariot almost covered Wei Wuji with their bodies. Just a round of arrows killed many horses from the Wei Kingdom and elite chariot soldiers. However, at this time, some chariots had already hit the Qin people's infantry.
Bai Qi only left a small force to block it, but the crossbowman hurriedly evacuated.
When the military cart drilled through the infantry and pursued again, the second round of crossbowmen who had already prepared began to perform.
Wei Wuji bit Bai Qi's tail tightly. Bai Qi was like a poisonous snake. From time to time, he would turn around and bite hard, and then continue to evacuate. Bai Qi was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. When Wei Wuji felt that the road was getting bumpy and even blocking the road, making the road narrower, he hurriedly stopped chasing, and the chariot quickly returned along the way. Along the way, he saw countless corpses, including Qin people and Wei people.
The torches were lit on the chariots, illuminating the surrounding roads. When it was almost early in the morning, the exhausted Wei Wuji returned to the shore.
The Wei army stationed camps in the original place and was still cleaning the battlefield everywhere. The only thing that caught our eyes was corpses all over the ground. Almost the entire ground was covered by corpses, and there was no naked leaking ground. Every corner was blood-red. After Wei Wuji's chariot entered the camp, the first thing he saw was the soldiers holding relatives and crying with their brothers' bodies. The defeated soldiers were concentrated in the position of the central army.
This is a fear of being attacked and will lead to another escape.
Corpants floated in the river, and the entire river seemed to turn bloody. This was a feast for fish and shrimps. The bodies almost blocked the river. When the deputy general came to repay the situation, Wei Wuji was in pain. The 60,000 soldiers brought by Jin Bi were now less than 20,000, and more than 40,000 people died in this war. Some of them were frozen to death, some drowned, and more people died because they had not treated their wounds.
What made Wei Wuji even more sad was that Jin Bi died in battle.
This general, who made Xinlingjun admire him extremely, died under an absurd king's order. The King of Wei, who was roasting fire in the beam and holding the beauty, certainly would not know how difficult it is to cross the river in this season, nor would he know how many people would die because of his immediate march into Zhao territory, and he didn't know how terrible the Qin general Bai Qi was... No, maybe he knew this last point.
But, what does this have to do with him? Anyway, it was Jin Bi who fought with Bai Qi, not himself.
The old general once vowed to be loyal to the King of Wei and carry out all his orders, but unfortunately, his promise made him lose his life.
The Qin people also paid a heavy price. General Jin Bi's tenacious resistance and Wei Wuji's sudden attack caused the Qin people to leave more than 20,000 corpses here. During the pursuit and entanglement, Wei Wuji also bit off a piece of meat from Bai Qi's body and annihilated thousands of people.
As the bonfire swayed, the coldness accompanied by death. When General Jin Bi's body was found, his head had been cut off, which made Wei Wuji almost fall into madness. He gritted his teeth and sat beside the bonfire. He smelled the fishy smell on the battlefield, Wei Wuji looked at his many disciples. He said seriously: "General Jin Bi died in battle. Shangjun will not allow me to take charge of the troops alone. He will definitely order me to retreat."
"But, I'm not Jin Bi."
"I will continue this war according to my own ideas."
"Even if he accuses me of a traitor, I will not make any changes."
"I heard that we should treat the people we hate with integrity, but the Qin people first attacked our tired army, and then drove out the defeated soldiers to kill each other. Please allow me to use the same cruel means to deal with them. The Qin people must pay the price for their crimes. I will use the Qin people's corpses to worship the Wei people who died on the river bank, and ask the two or three sons to help me complete this."
