Chapter 467 Find a good family for the wife of the minister
Lu County.
As soon as the war subsided, the main general Lian Po and deputy general Zhao She brought a large number of elite Zhao troops into the city.
"Where is the King of Qin, where is the King of Qin?" Lian Po's voice was very loud, and he could be heard clearly in several neighborhoods.
In Lian Po's opinion, the King of Qin was very likely to be in Lu County, because the Zhao army encountered quite tenacious resistance in Lu County when the Luguan defense line was completely lost. Isn't this place without three hundred taels of silver?
However, the final result disappointed Lian Po.
"What, King Qin ran away?" Lian Po's eyes were wider than the copper bell, and his nostrils were almost spitting out of his nostrils: "Why did he let him run away?"
Zhao She, who was standing aside, said calmly: "That's the King of Qin. If we can catch the King of Qin, it would be a strange thing, right?"
Lian Po said angrily: "So what? What about you, the cavalry commander of the side cavalry, chase after me and take him down with me!"
Zhao She spread her hands and said, "The border cavalry legion is now on the king's side. Besides, this is a hill and a river, so it is really hard to chase."
Having said that, Zhao She still spread out all the thousands of cavalry under her command.
That's the King of Qin. If he could capture the King of Qin alive, this contribution would definitely be enough to make people enthrone the king. Who wouldn't be moved?
Lian Po snorted heavily and said, "Send the order and search the whole army southward. If you don't return to the camp until late at night, I don't believe that King Qin can put on his wings and fly away!"
With Lian Po's order, the army of more than 100,000 Zhao State immediately dispersed around the center of the Lu County County after Lu Pass, and began a large pursuit of the Qin King.
The King of Qin's escape journey was not smooth.
After a large number of Qin troops withdrew from Lu Pass, the entire Lu Pass defense line collapsed instantly, and the Zhao army completely occupied Lu Pass without much time.
In order to delay time, Qin General Pu Kaijie quietly arranged two thousand Qin imperial guards to defend the Lu County town several miles south of Lu Pass to delay time.
The imperial guards successfully delayed for half an hour in a desperate battle. However, under the overwhelming attack of the Zhao army, the two thousand Qin imperial guards were wiped out in a tragic posture.
Next, the real pursuit.
Pu Kaijie was not just a simple escape. He gathered the large number of Qin defeated troops along the way, slowly gathered the troops, and gradually formed a large team of 4,000 people.
The King of Qin agreed with this. Lu Pass was indeed defeated, but if he wanted to defend Wancheng, he still needed troops. It would be better to take these defeated soldiers back to Wancheng to rest and rest, than to run halfway to hide in the wilderness and ridges halfway.
But things didn't go so smoothly.
After more than an hour of escape, it was dusk, and Pu Kaijie was considering whether to find a place to rest for a while, a group of thousands of light cavalrymen in Zhao State chased after him.
The battle broke out instantly.
"Hide, pay attention to avoid!" Pu Kaijie's slightly hoarse roar spread throughout the Qin army.
The next moment, hundreds of arrows fell from the sky.
"Puff puff puff!" The dull arrows entered the flesh and were filled with screams from the Qin soldiers. Many Qin soldiers were caught in arrows, either fell to the ground and died, or screamed and rolled on the ground.
The light cavalry basically had zero function when attacking passes like Lu Pass, but the pursuit between such flat hills was really like fish in water, especially when facing defeated soldiers like the Qin army that lacked sufficient long-range firepower and protection.
As for quantity... At this time, quantity is actually not the most critical factor. When chasing, one hundred people chased 1,000 people and ran around everywhere are everywhere. What's more, there are cavalry who can be called the king of pursuit.
Seeing the many subordinates being caught in the arrow, Pu Kaijie was so angry that his face turned red. He snatched the long bow of an archer beside him, took out an arrow from the other party's arrow bag, aimed at the officer who was rushing to the front and shot him.
The arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the chest of hundreds of generals of the Zhao army's cavalry. The hundred generals didn't even have time to scream and fell to the ground, and they were no longer visible.
Pu Kaijie stuffed the longbow back into its owner's arms and shouted: "Where are your bows? Are the sharp men dead? Shoot, shoot hard for me!"
With Pu Kaijie's performance, many of the Qin soldiers who had already started to panic had come back to their senses, took out the longbows behind them, and shot scattered shots.
Cavalry of the Zhao army began to appear among the Zhao army's cavalry.
Pu Kaijie's sudden counterattack and the subsequent counterattack of the Qin army made the Zhao cavalry slightly stagnate, but a new rain of arrows fell again.
A sharp whistle sounded, and the Zhao cavalry began to drive the horses under their crotch to gallop left and right. Countless smoke and dust rolled up, and the cavalry in the smoke and dust appeared and appeared looming, which not only made it more difficult to aim, but also greatly increased the psychological pressure of the Qin soldiers.
The voice of the King of Qin came out of the carriage: "Let all carriages be placed on the periphery and lined up to block the cavalry!"
"No!" Pu Kaijie denied the Qin King's suggestion without thinking: "Although the carriage array can stop it for a while, this will make us unable to move here. If other Zhao troops catch up, we will still be dead!"
The King of Qin's voice stuttered slightly, and he said, "What should I do?"
If you continue to escape like this, the troops that have been firmly grasped by the Zhao cavalry will only be slowly shot into a hornet's nest. However, if you stop to fight, you will only be noticed by the nearby Zhao army and then be submerged by the large Zhao army troops coming from all directions.
This is simply a dead end.
Pu Kaijie gritted his teeth, turned his head and said in a deep voice to the guard of the King of Qin: "You will immediately take the king to retreat to Wancheng. I will stop them here for a while. How much can you walk at that time, the next thing will depend on you!"
If the head of the guard is actually at the same level as Pu Kaijie in terms of title and official position, considering that the head of the guard is actually much more noble than Pu Kaijie, the head of the guard in this time involuntarily nodded, subconsciously accepted the order, jumped into the driver's position of the carriage, and began to drive.
The King of Qin was anxious and lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Pu Kaijie, I am not dead yet, it's not your turn to give orders here! I am ordering you now, immediately...Oh!"
Just as the King of Qin was talking, Pu Kaijie suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist and stabbed the two horses who were pulling the cart for the King of Qin with lightning.
The two horses were in pain, and after a long neigh, the speed exploded instantly. The carriage rushed forward, and the sudden acceleration directly threw the defenseless King of Qin into the carriage, hitting the wooden board of the carriage, and his head was buzzing, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
A faintly, a hoarse voice came into the car through the door curtain.
