?The detour of the cavalry of the two armies caused the entire battle to fall into chaos. When they were attacked from front and back, all six new divisions in the Chu army were defeated. In addition to the four divisions of Youque, thirty divisions of the Chu army were arranged in the array. According to the organization, there were 190,000 people, plus more than 20,000 Zhao army, and the number was 210,000.

But in fact, each division has only 3,600 spearmen and 576 archers, and there are actually only 150,000 soldiers in the main array. Two of the eight new divisions belong to Youque, and six are arranged on the main front, and these six divisions have to subtract more than 3,000 archers. Overall, the number of combatants in the arrays of both sides is one to two, plus nearly 40,000 cavalry, the Qin army has an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength.

With such an advantage, it was no surprise that the Chu army was penetrated through the front, and it was no surprise that the six new divisions with weak fighting spirit collapsed. In the eyes of Deng Sui, the general of Yingshi, the Chu army under the attack of Qin infantry and cavalry, was like a sea boat in a storm, relying on the flat barbarian spear to support it. The Qin people besieged the Chu army were like waves. They had no way to break the sea boat and could only temporarily submerge the sea boat. Whenever the sea tide receded, the sea boat would appear on the water, leaving countless Qin army corpses beside the boat.

In this case, the Chu army was unable to command, and all the Chu army's troops had already been sent to the battlefield. The only thing they could rely on was the efforts of each division and brigade and the detour led by Gui Jing. However, facing the heavy defenses and the Qin Shipengfu surrounded by horse and carriages, Xiang Chao's heavy cavalry had no way to break the formation.

The battle situation was completely in a stalemate, and neither side could do anything to each other. The biggest mistake of the Chu army in this battle was not that the number of troops was too small or the reconnaissance was unfavorable, but that the artillery guards did not achieve a decisive role. Deng Sui felt this and deeply regretted it. If there were more artillery, the array of artillery guards could be wider, and the mentality of the soldiers could be calmer, this battle would be another ending.

"Where is the king?" Deng Sui looked at the Chu army's battle formation with regret, and Zhuang Wudi, who was holding Lu Lijing, kept staring at Xiong Jing who played hide-and-seek with the Qin people. People would cry if they stared at the distance for too long. He shed tears. When he wiped the tears and looked at Xiong Jing no longer knew where to go.

"Report, report to Sima..." Not only Zhuang Wudi, the one who stared at Xiong Jing, also looked at the lookout hand standing on a high place. "The king crossed the Ru River."

Xiong Jing kept running eastward, not southward. Toward the east, the Yingshui tributary of the Qin army leaned against was infinitely close to Rushui, and the nearest was only about four or five miles. Looking at her, she saw Xiong Jing running into that area and then she lost her trace.

"King, King..." Zhuang Wudi held up Lu Lijing and looked in this direction, looking in the snow in front of the Qin cavalry, while talking to himself. In his opinion, Xiong Jing's safety is the most important. Even if the Chu army was defeated in this battle, it would be irrelevant. He never advised Xiong Jing of this point of view, but unfortunately Xiong Jing never listened to it every time.

Xiong Jing has no offspring, and even if he has offspring, he is still young. Xiong Han, who is about to be crowned, is obviously a threat. People with ulterior motives may instigate Xiong Han to seize the throne. A civil strife in Chu cannot resist the Qin people; even if Xiong Han ascended the throne, he cannot lead the Chu country to resist the Qin people with his weak nature.

Zhuang Wudi could not find Xiong Jing at all, and tears couldn't help but flow down again. At this time, he looked at his hand and called out "Ah" and called the king. He saw the phoenix flag fluttering in the north wind again. Just when he was worried that the Qin cavalry would threaten Xiong Jing's safety again, several military flags appeared with the king.

Running for more than twenty miles is easy to get tired. Although the Qin horse could not run the dragon horse, the dragon horse ran back to the enemy's back and broke through the Yiqu people's block. These are extremely physically exhausting things. Xiong Jing barely ran eastward to the Rushui floating bridge and could not run. Fortunately, he was under the left army and was arranged on the right wing Xizhan, and the Chengyang division was crossing the water behind the enemy.

At this time, the division and brigade on the south bank of Rushui had received the order from Xiong Jing to abandon the current enemy and rushed to rescue. Cheng Tong, the general of the Xi army, saw the king flag running towards him, followed by countless Qin cavalry, and immediately ordered the entire division to form an attacking formation, and the archers gathered up to shoot Qin cavalry to protect Xiong Jing and others who were rushing over.

The Qin cavalry had stirrups, but the range of the cavalry was still not as good as that of the archer. More than a thousand archers of the two divisions shot wildly and shot the Yiqu people who had chased him. Xiong Jing took the guard knight who had accumulated a lot of horsepower to retaliate and slashed dozens of enemy cavalry, and the surrounding Qin cavalry gradually retreated from the range of the archers of the two divisions.

The divisions and brigades that remained in Runan to annihilate the enemy were all good at fighting, including Xishi, Chengyang, Qisishi, Chenshi, Xiacai, Huainan, and four Ludi divisions, and finally Sima Shang's 50,000 Zhao army. When the military flags of these divisions and brigades appeared in everyone's sight, the Chu soldiers who were struggling burst out with warm cheers. The ten divisions and 50,000 Zhao army were invested in the battle, and the Qin army would undoubtedly be defeated.

The Qin army naturally understood the truth. Before the Chu army cheered, the sound of the Qin army's shogunate sounded again. It seemed that the sea water receded, and more than 300,000 Qin troops retreated desperately. The Chu soldiers clenched tightly. Unfortunately, only a few of them could bite the Qin army. Most of the Chu army's divisions and brigades attacked from the front and back were broken. Once the Qin army retreated, the injured soldiers fell to the ground and could not get up. The shouts of "Doctors, doctors..." were endless.

Xiong Jing's arm holding the sword was a little weak, and he trembled slightly without force. The situation he saw was like a beach after the tide. The corpses of the enemy and our army were placed across it. The Chu army array seemed very broken, and the soldiers were either injured or sat on the ground exhausted. The snow fell again, and the falling snowflakes fell on the pool of blood, covering the blood little by little.

"Boom, boom--!" The artillery bars who had no chance to fire just now aimed at the retreating Qin army and fired rapidly. Although they could kill some Qin troops, it was too late. The Qin cavalry not only stopped their own cavalry, but also killed the small group of Chu troops pursuing.

"Please chase quickly!" The left army fighting Yu Zhi was not attacked by the Qin cavalry, and the division and brigade kept it the most complete.

"The Qin people have not been defeated, and our army is exhausted. How can we chase again? You can chase him, but you can't fight." Zhuang Wudi hurriedly stopped him. The Ying army, which retreated from the entire army's front, was the focus of the attack of the Qin cavalry. Waves of Qin cavalry attacked the Ying army on three sides. The Ying army was injured and had many soldiers. They could take advantage of the situation to pursue him, but he opposed fighting again.

"Each division is defeated." Sima Peng Zong also said. "The army that can be fought is only the soldiers of the 10th division in the South Bank, 50,000 Zhao troops, and these 100,000 people cannot win."

The more than 300,000 infantry of the Qin army were all elite, and the cavalry was taken over. In order to annihilate the Qin army in the south bank, the Chu army did not invest all the soldiers at once, but instead invested in batches.

"How many soldiers can fight in each division?" When the Qin army retreated, the floating bridge was destroyed. The workers were building bridges. The commanders of each division had gathered under Feng's flag. Xiong Jing was planning his own troops in his heart - plus more than 10,000 cavalry, the new force was only 100,000.
