Chapter five hundred and fifth: Deng Jun joins forces
Chapter 505: Deng Jun met
Thirty miles east of Jianshan, Chang Yuchun led 100,000 elite troops to march in an emergency, but sadness appeared on the faces of the generals of Deng's army. Just an hour ago, bad news came from Qunin City. In the battle of Qunin City, General Huang Deng, the Longwu Guard, who was seriously injured by Qin's general Ma Sheng, was too seriously injured and died. This caused the morale of Deng's army who entered Shu to fight. After all, before the war really started, one of his generals was damaged.
Among the generals, the most sad thing is Huang Mu, the general of Jinwu Guard. He is Huang Deng's brother. His brother died on the battlefield. Although the murderer has been killed, Huang Mu also held his breath and wanted to vent it all the time. The best target for venting is the Qin army.
"Report to the general, the Qin army was discovered five miles away!" A scout came to Chang Yuchun and said.
After hearing this, Chang Yuchun ordered the entire army to stop and then asked the scout: "Discovering the Qin army five miles away? How many enemy soldiers are there? Whose flag is it?"
The scout replied: "The number of Qin soldiers ahead is about 20,000, and they are wearing the yellow flag. The subordinates see this flag very similar to the yellow flag that they saw outside Qunin City that day. Therefore, the subordinates think that this person should be one of the two Qin generals who fled outside Qunin City that day."
"Be serious?" Before Chang Yuchun could speak, Huang Mu asked anxiously behind him. Although Huang Deng was seriously injured by Ma Sheng and died, the two Qin generals who escaped were also accomplices, so it is not for Huang Mu to be so anxious.
"I dare not speak nonsense, but I see that the leader of the Qin army is indeed somewhat similar to the people on that day." The scout replied.
"General, the last general asks to fight against the Qin army!" Although the scout was not very sure, Huang Mu couldn't help but asks Chang Yuchun to fight.
"General Huang is a little worried. I know that General Huang Deng's death makes you very sad. Are we also very sad? But the Qin army has always been cunning, and it is not easy to appear suddenly, so it is necessary to make a long-term plan." Chang Yuchun comforted Huang Mu, and then don't worry, observe the good situation first.
"Here!" Huang Mu knew that he was a little anxious, so he responded and stepped down.
After appeaseing Huang Mu, Chang Yuchun asked Li Xiucheng again and Deng Qiang: "General Li, General Deng, let's talk about it, what exactly is the intention of the Qin army suddenly appearing in front?"
Deng Qiang thought for a while and said, "Go back to the general, the Qin army's move is nothing more than two possibilities. One is that Bai Qi has discovered the traces of our army and tried to send troops to obstruct our army in order to gain time to capture Jianshan. However, Bai Qi is a famous general of the world. He must know the strength of our army and knows that only 20,000 soldiers and horses cannot stop our army at all. Even if he barely blocks it, he will definitely not be able to support him to take Jianshan. Therefore, the last general thinks it is the second possibility."
"What is the second possibility?" Chang Yuchun also felt that Deng Sheng's statement was reasonable. No matter how crazy Bai Qi was, he would not be so arrogant that he would rely on 20,000 troops to block his 100,000 army.
Deng Qiang replied: "The second possibility is that Bai Qi and even our army will join forces with the Jianshan army as soon as they arrive. He is not an opponent at all. He will even suffer a major defeat if he is not careful. So he plans to withdraw his troops, but he is afraid that our army will pursue him from behind, so he sends a team of troops like abandoned sons, and blocks our army for a moment at all costs to buy time for the army to withdraw."
Chang Yuchun thought for a while and said, "General Deng said very much. I think Bai Qi was just thinking about this. Since that's the case, then the general could not let him do what he wanted. Does Bai Qi really think that my land of Deng is the one he could come whenever he wanted to come. If he wanted to go, he would leave whenever he wanted? He sent the order, and the whole army attacked and defeated the Qin army blocking the road as quickly as possible. He would never let Bai Qi leave Shuzhong Road easily."
"Here!" With Chang Yuchun's order, the 100,000 Deng troops accelerated their march and soon came to the Qin army. The chief general of the Qin army here was Huang Xing. Facing the Deng army several times his own, Huang Xing walked out of the line calmly and shouted loudly: "Listen to Deng army on the opposite side, this road is blocked!"
Chang Yuchun took a step forward and said to Huang Xing: "Listen to the Qin army opposite, my reinforcements from Deng have arrived, and Bai Qi's defeat is determined. Although you and I are hostile, God has a good life. As long as you put down your weapons and surrender, I will guarantee that you will never hurt you!"
"Chang Yuchun, I, the Qin Dynasty, only has a decapitated general, and there is no surrendered general. If you want us to surrender, don't be foolish. With me Huang Xing here today, you can't think of going beyond this place." After that, Huang Xing tightly grasped the long sword in his hand and was ready to start the war at any time.
"Hmph! The stubborn is unclear, the whole army obeys the orders and charges me!" Chang Yuchun sneered when he saw Huang Xing so arrogantly.
"Kill!" With Chang Yuchun's order, the 100,000 Deng troops rushed to the Qin army. Among them, Huang Mu was the one who rushed to the front. Huang Xing was not willing to be outdone and commanded the army to fight. As a general, Huang Xing and Huang Mu also fought together, and they were hard to distinguish.
Seeing this, Chang Yuchun said to Dian Wei on the side: "General Dian, hurry up and help General Huang Mu with one arm, and strive to capture the Qin general as quickly as possible and defeat the Qin army. Remember, you can capture as much as possible as possible. If you cannot capture it alive, you will be killed on the spot!"
"Here!" Dian Wei responded and killed him. After Dian Wei rushed forward, all the generals of the Longwu Guard and Jinwu Guard were killed, leaving only Chang Yuchun, Li Xiucheng, Deng Qiang, and two major military commanders, Kuai Li and Ling Jing.
Before Dian Wei killed him, Huang Mu and Huang Xing were in a difficult situation, and they could not tell the outcome for a while. The reason why Chang Yuchun asked Dian Wei to go up to help was not only to quickly resolve the battle, but more importantly, he was afraid that something would happen to Huang Mu. The late general Huang Biao had only two sons in his life. Now Huang Deng is no longer here. If Huang Mu had something happen to him, Chang Yuchun would not know how he would face Deng Sheng and the elderly, weak, and children of the Huang family when he returned to Wancheng, so Huang Mu must not have an accident.
With Dian Wei's participation in the battle, Huang Xing was soon defeated, but his desperate fighting style also made Dian Wei cut off his idea of capturing alive, and knocked Huang Xing down in just a few rounds. Once Huang Xing died, the Qin army was instantly defeated. Except for some loyal people who were still holding on, the rest put down their weapons and surrendered.
After the battlefield was over, Chang Yuchun led the army to continue advancing. After the battle just now, Chang Yuchun felt more affirmed in his heart that Bai Qi's intention to retreat, so he marched without any stop and tried to keep Bai Qi.
While Chang Yuchun defeated the 20,000 Qin troops under Huang Xing's army, a big battle also started outside Jianshan. Li Jing and Deng Zhong on Jianshan also found Bai Qi's retreat. At first they were a little doubtful, whether this would be Bai Qi's plan to lead the snake out of the cave. However, after several confirmations, they determined that Bai Qi was really going to retreat. There were only 10,000 Qin troops left outside the mountain, so they led the troops out without hesitation. However, because the Qin troops under Zhang Fu's army had a large camp, the Tianwu Guard and Wudang Wei also took some effort to defeat Zhang Fu, and Zhang Fu also died in the hands of General Li Pingzhang, the general of Wudang Wei, and the 10,000 Qin troops were either dead or surrendered.
Before Tianwu Guard could clear the battlefield, Wudang Guard led a large army to arrive.
"The last general is paying homage to General Cavalry!" Li Jing and Deng Zhong led the Tianwu Guard and the Wudang Guard all bowed to Chang Yuchun together.
Chang Yuchun turned over and dismounted, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be too polite, generals!" After that, he walked up and held Li Jing's hand tightly, and said with sigh: "General Li and Tianwu Guards use their weak forces to resist tens of thousands of Qin troops for two months, and strive to protect Jianshan, so that the people of Shuzhong Dao would not be tragically harmed by the Qin army. This is of great significance. When our generals return to the court, they will personally ask for credit for the general and Tianwu Guards in front of the king!"
"It's all the credit of the soldiers. The last general dare not take credit!" Li Jing replied modestly, and then said: "General, the Qin army is defeated. What should we do next? Please tell us!"
Chang Yuchun thought for a while and asked Li Jing: "General Li, do you think the Qin army has any plans to retreat?"
Li Jing thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Go back to the general, the last general thought that the Qin army was really defeated."
"Oh? How did you see it?" Chang Yuchun asked.
Li Jing said: "General, this time the Qin army went south, and a total of more than 100,000 troops were thrown out of Jianshan. He sent a team of troops to advance eastward to attempt to intercept the General's reinforcements. There were at least 30,000 troops in this way. When the General appeared here, it was probably that this Qin army had been defeated. In addition, the 10,000 Qin army that the Du General had just defeated, which means that there were less than 100,000 troops who had been retreating to Guanzhong with Bai Qi. The Jianshan army, plus the general, brought more than 100,000 troops. Our army is familiar with the terrain of Shu. Under such a situation, even if Bai Qi had the ability to completely achieve the heavens, it was difficult to have a chance of victory. Therefore, the Du General believed that the Qin army was really defeated."
Li Jing analyzed the current strength of the Deng and Qin armies that Bai Qi had no choice but to retreat. With the current strength of the Qin army, even if he successfully ambushed the Deng army, he would not be able to severely damage the Deng army. Instead, he would fall into the quagmire of Shu and be unable to extricate himself. Therefore, with Bai Qi's ability, he would never do such an unwise thing.
Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "No, the Qin army has no 100,000. I defeated 20,000 Qin troops on the way here. In other words, there are less than 80,000 Qin troops who retreated with Bai Qi. If you pass the order, the entire army will turn around and follow me to pursue the Qin army!"
"Here!" the generals responded.
Then Chang Yuchun said to Li Jing again: "General Li, Tianwu Guard has fought hard for many days and suffered heavy losses. Let's stay in Jianshan for a while and rest. You don't need to participate in the pursuit of the Qin army!"
Li Jing nodded. He knew his own affairs and tried hard to guard Jianshan. The Tianwu Guard suffered too much loss. He had 50,000 elite troops, and only less than 20,000 were left. The loss was more than 60,000. He was almost beaten and destroyed. Many of the remaining were injured and were really powerless to pursue him.
