Chapter 30 The Battle of the White Horse (6)
It was pitch black all around, and only the torches lit by the soldiers were making sizzling sounds. This was the generals of the coalition forces strangled the divided Qin soldiers overnight.
Liu Bang swayed, holding the shaft of the chariot, and struggling to open his hazy eyes after drinking, looking for the sound and looking into the distance.
"Asan, Aying, come back to slaughter me a few more Qin dogs. I have to carry them as a chamber pot!" Liu Bang cursed. After years of addiction to alcohol, his spirit began to be paralyzed and controlled by alcohol. Although it was nothing to be sober, Liu Bang could no longer control his words and deeds when he was drunk.
Fortunately, by his side, Xiao He and Zhou Bo were both trustworthy people, and Li Shiqi himself was a drunkard, so he naturally didn't find anything strange about Liu Bang, who was a fellow man. In fact, the most fundamental purpose of Li Shiqi choosing Liu Bang to surrender was to find a drinker. Of course, this drinker became more developed later. As a worker, Li Shiqi had no chance to drink with Liu's feet to feet.
Cao Shen, Guan Ying and other Liu generals led their troops to clear the battlefield. Although Li Yuan broke through, the small-scale battles everywhere were not over yet. They broke through under the siege of the enemy who was three times more than they had. Except for some of the gaps that could be closely followed by Li Yuan's opening, the remaining sporadic troops scattered all over the battlefield could only rely on luck. However, the Qin army's rigorous military laws have been implemented thoroughly by middle and lower-level officers. Even if they lost contact with the main force, the Qin soldiers of one garrison, one trench, and one yard were still fighting.
Xiahou Ying was very irritable. He had a rare opportunity to lead troops to fight. He did not expect that the Qin army would leave the main battlefield by taking advantage of the night and be used to using chariots as a driving force. When facing war horses that were more adapted to the complex environment of the battlefield, the limitations of the chariots were particularly obvious.
What made Xiahou Ying even more frustrated was that the heavy infantry that was controlled by him was blocked from the high slopes. The Qin army in front of him seemed to be desperate. As he was about to break through, a dozen other desperate fights suddenly emerged. The inflexibility of the operation caused the heavy infantry to suffer a considerable loss in this attrition war of one life for one life.
It's finally over!
When there was no more shouts of killing on the earth slope that was stained with blood and dyed with deep purple, Xiahou Ying finally let out a long sigh.
"Report to the Taifu, there are more than 370 enemy corpses found here, killing two enemy marquis, and dozens of them were killed, but no enemy generals of the level of the Duwei lieutenant were found." The Sima, the army responsible for the inventory, came down from the high slope with lingering fear and reported the situation of the battle to Xiahou Ying.
"Is there no enemy general? How is this possible? Send orders, expand the search range, and find hidden enemies." Xiahou Ying shouted loudly. The Qin army's resistance was the most intense. If there were no powerful figures sitting in the formation, Xiahou Ying would not think that two low-level officers at the level of the military marquis could have such skills.
——.
Li Yuan had not given up yet, although he also knew that the possibility of the soldiers of Gan and Zhou breaking out was very slim. Some things, some people and things often had to be lost before they felt precious. At the beginning of the Daliang adaptation, Li Yuan's attitude towards Wang Shang, Gan and Zhou Xing was different. Wang Shang's army was trained by Li Yuan as a seed elite force, while Gan and Zhou were general troops, which was similar to the traditional division method of the Red and Blue armies in the People's Army.
The two divisions of Gan and Zhou were automatically left behind. It was precisely because of their desperate resistance in the high slopes of the important area that the pursuing coalition forces had to give up the fastest straight road and instead pursue the Qin army, which gave the Qin army time to break through. More importantly, the most powerful infantry that Liu Bang put into the battlefield was also forced to give up pursuing the Qin army and strangling other surrounded Qin troops because of the obstacles of Gan and Zhou, the Qin army.
The success or failure of a battle depends on the arrows of attack and the shields of the guard. The smoke of the battle of the White Horse finally began to dissipate. Li Yuan and Liu Bang were about to end this meeting of the White Horse. Among the two, one was persistent in searching for the lost soldiers, and the other was determined to avenge them. No matter who it was, they had no intention of putting down their weapons and becoming a Buddha.
Gu Yun had no idea how long she had been running, but she felt that her legs were so heavy that she was almost unable to take steps. However, her strength was not as strong as a man. The continuous fighting for most of the day had consumed a lot of strength. Now, if she encountered less than one enemy soldier in the army, she could barely deal with it. If she had more than one, she would have to do nothing.
"It's not easy to run out. I have to hand over this flag to Li Daizi. How could I agree to this labour?" Gu Yun bent down and walked quickly, while scolding Li Yuan in his heart.
"Who? It turns out to be a little lady--." A cry sounded around the corner. This was a team of more than 30 Liu Jun searching team. The faint sound that Gu Yun brought when he was marching made Liu Jun soldiers with sharp ears notice the abnormality.
Gu Yun was in a tough battle, fighting against thirty. With such a huge gap in force, she wanted to put down her weapons, even if she was a prisoner. But when she saw Liu Jun soldiers casting a tall gaze at the exposed part of the broken armor, Gu Yun had no choice but to continue fighting.
Fortunately, just when Gu Yun was about to fall down due to exhaustion, Li Yuan also found this place, and fell from the sky like a wind and a broken cloud.
"Daizi Li--!" Gu Yun murmured in a daze, unable to help but blurt out the thoughts he was muttering in his heart.
"The Li thief is here, run away!" The surrounding Liu army generals shouted, and they scattered without any resistance. The Liu army's generals were killed by Li Yuan not long ago. When they saw the God of Killing again, they did not have the courage to resist. Seeing that Liu army was defeated, Luo Jia chased and killed more than a hundred cavalry like dark clouds.
How could he get four legs when running with two legs? In a short while, Luo Jia wiped out all the small troops of Liu Jun, which had more than 30 people.
When he returned, he saw that Li Yuan had already set off the horse and was talking to the soldiers who had just been rescued. In Li Yuan's hands, there was a very damaged Qin army flag. In a corner of the border, Luo Jia faintly saw traces embroidered with the word "Zhou".
Gan Houbo and Zhou Xing were all killed in battle. Li Yuan was shocked and relieved by the discipline and courage shown by these two Qin soldiers in the battle. In just two months, they grew from ordinary county soldiers to the bravest soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. Gan Houbo and Zhou Xing led their subordinates to improve day by day. Unfortunately, Li Yuan had not noticed them before.
The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned for ten years.
Perhaps, many years later, the names of these loyal and brave soldiers were like piles of bones drowned in the wilderness and wilderness, no one knew or paid attention to. Only this battle flag that was dancing and was soaked in the blood of the heroes was still flying. Perhaps, for Zhou Xing, Gan Houbo and others, this grassland on the big river beach was the best destination.
