Chapter 1015: East becomes West (8)

Shang Kexi walked before the wounded soldiers, and was filled with torture in his heart. Retreatment was not easy compared to defending the city, especially because he had thousands of wounded soldiers.

When I walked to the deepest part, I saw Qian Kezhuang, who was so hurt that he could no longer climb, was lying there, gasping for breath. In the only one-eye, I could no longer see the magic of the past, and it looked a little dull.

"Old Qian, can you stand it?" He sat cross-legged beside Qian Kezhuang.

"Hehe, I can't die for the time being, but I'm afraid I won't last long!" Qian Kezhuang smiled with difficulty, "I killed more than a dozen Qin soldiers and gave me the unborn baby a little more family business."

Shang Kexi turned his head away a little sadly.

"What's wrong, Commander Shang, are you doing something?" Qian Kezhuang asked.

"Commander Helan issued an order to retreat, ordering us to give up Shannan County City and retreat to Jishi City." Shang Kexi lowered his voice.

"What?" Qian Kezhuang shouted suddenly, "Shannan County is our home, with countless fertile land and our village, how can we give up?"

"The Qin people forced Zhao to open Shanggu County. Li Xin's 100,000 troops came out of Shanggu and suddenly attacked Dai County. Dai County is now gone. The tens of thousands of troops of Dongye, Commander of Helan, cannot advance or retreat. If they do not retreat, they may be surrounded by the Qin army." Shang Kexi explained: "The only way to give up Shannan County City and Dai County first, and fight back in the future."

"Why did the Zhao people do this?" Qian Kezhuang asked in shock: "They just killed tens of thousands of soldiers by the Qin people. Before the blood was dry, did they bow their knees to the Qin people?"

"Zhao Qi is not a guy with backbone." Shang Kexi spat, "After the defeat of the Great Plain in Guanzhong, he killed all his soul. The group of generals from Zhao State died and demoted them. Now the people who are in power are Zhao Qi's people, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers have died. Zhao State has lost its spirit. The Qin people probably used the county as bait!"

"The Zhao people don't think about it. If we are defeated by the Qin people, can we have theirs? I'm afraid that the Qin people will deal with them if they turn back!" Qian Kezhuang said.

"The so-called short-sightedness is nothing more than this. Or they are also counting on us to fight against the Qin people and both sides will be hurt. Let them get the bargain!" Shang Ke said with a happy smile.

"It's not their turn to pick up bargains! Bah!" Qian Kezhuang spat, but it touched the wound, so painful it thrust." Commander Shang, the army was about to retreat, but the seriously wounded soldiers here were probably not able to take away."

He looked at Shang Kexi and said straightforwardly.

Shang Kexi lowered his head. The slightly injured soldiers could be tied to the horse and retreated with the army, but the seriously injured soldiers could not take them away no matter what. Even if they were tied to the horse, how could they bear the bumps of the war horses and still give up their lives.

Qian Kezhuang also fell silent. After a while, he raised his head and smiled, "Captain Shang, it's all. When I was in Liaoning Guard, I never thought I could come back alive. Over the years, I have married a wife and an unborn son. I have enough money. You can go, and we will leave the last defense of Shannan County City."

Shang Kexi turned his head aside and tried his best to hold back the tears from letting him shed.

"Okay, Commander Shang, don't act like this little child. How many people have died in this battle? I don't care about more of us. If you really feel sorry for me, just look back and find my wife and baby and take care of them more."

"After we leave, you will surrender to the Qin army, or you will survive." Shang Kexi whispered.

"How is it possible, Commander Shang, you underestimate us too much." Qian Kezhuang laughed and said, "We don't want to be slaughtered like those Zhao troops. Even if they die, I will still bite their meat. Commander Shang, this Shannan County City cannot be left to the Qin army. Over the years, we have managed it too firmly. If we stay, by the time we fight back in the future, wouldn't it take more effort and kill more people's lives? Even if we leave, we have to burn him to white ground. Please, I will gather all the flammable things before you leave. At that time, a big fire will not only burn Shannan County City to white ground, but also block the enemy and help you retreat further."

Shang Kexi nodded silently.

The north gate of Shannan County City slid silently in the darkness. Although the blood-stained soldiers were tired, they still lined up in an orderly manner. They silently bowed to the city where they had been guarding for nearly half a month, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Qian Kezhuang half supported his body, through the half-broken window on the city tower, looking at the team gradually moving away from the city, he waved his hands vigorously, but the tears in his eyes fell down without any worries. Around him was filled with firewood, and a torch was burning on his head.

At this time, in different places in Shannan County, hundreds of seriously injured soldiers were almost doing the same thing, watching their robes gradually fading away.

"Farewell forever, brothers!" Qian Kezhuang reached out and pulled out the torch from the wall above his head, and looked at Shannan County City, which was quietly in the darkness.

"My ** Qin people!" He cursed, reached out and lit the firewood beside him.

With a roar, a raging fire suddenly appeared in the city tower, and the tongues of fire rushed out of the entrance of the city tower, and in an instant, the entire city tower was ignited. As the city tower started to fire, hundreds of fire heads were ignited in the city of Shannan County. The fire spread throughout the city in a very short time.

"General, there is a fire in Shannan County!" A Qin general rushed into Wang Xiao's tent, and Wang Xiao had obviously just received the news. He was walking out while putting his armor on his body. When he walked out of the tent, the Shannan County city he saw had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Shang Kexi is going to run away!" Wang Xiao's face looked extremely ugly. In Shannan County City, he had fought for more than half a month and lost more than 10,000 soldiers, but he had not yet achieved his full success. It was obvious that blocking Helanxiong's troops was already a delusion. In the past two days, he had been thinking about how to face the questioning of King Wulie of Qin, but he did not expect that Shang Kexi, who had been fighting to the death, actually ran away.

"Strike the city immediately, occupy the county city, and send troops to catch up with them, and no one can let them escape!" Wang Xiao said fiercely.

There is indeed no soldier in Shannan County City defending, but the fire that filled the entire county city is more reliable than any defense. The Qin army cannot get close at all. If you get closer, the hot waves will make people's hair curl up and even breathe a little. The entire city has turned into a sea of ​​fire, so how can you attack the city?

The helpless Qin people waited until the dawn was dawn and the heat was getting hot. Wang Xiao sent Wang Jian to lead five thousand cavalry through Shannan County City, and chased them all the way along the direction of Shang Kexi's retreat. Since he could no longer block Helanxiong's army, he could barely lose his merits and punish the achievements of taking Shang Kexi and completely annihilated 30,000 Shannan County soldiers.

The soldiers of Wuqianshan Nanjun staggered on the vast field, and Shang Kexi did not feel relaxed at all. Although they walked for a night, for all infantrymen, the marching of one night was only fifty miles. This was the speed after they abandoned all their supplies. On the green grassland, the traces of their marching were so eye-catching. With a large number of cavalry, they would not take long to catch up with them.

The scouts behind him kept catching up with him and reported to him the distance between the pursuers and their chasing troops. The five thousand cavalry led by Wang Jian were getting closer and closer to them.

"There are ten miles left!" Shang Kexi listened to the last retreating scout and looked up at the exhausted team. He knew that it would not take long for the enemy to catch up. In the wilderness, infantry and cavalry were fighting in field, and they could not ask about the fate. Instead of being chased by someone to drive away sheep while running away, it would be better to fight a favorable terrain and fight to the death with the enemy.

"Go to that beam, line up and prepare to kill the enemy!" Shang Kexi looked at the beam covered with poplar trees in front of him and ordered loudly.

Upon climbing the beam, poplar trees were instantly put down to the ground. In a very short time, they were built into a simple fence and countless horses, and were discarded on the ramp in a row. Just after doing all this, the Qin army's flag had appeared in his sight.

"Come on, come on, I want to eat me, I want to bite you a bite of meat!" Shang Kexi snorted, looking around, but there was another expectation in his heart. Since Commander Helanxiong ordered him to retreat, did he not arrange for him to take him? Or here, it will become a dream for the Qin people in a short time. When he thought of the powerful Hun cavalry under Helanxiong, Shang Kexi was full of expectations.

"Roar up and kill them all!" Wang Jian raised the iron spear in his hand high and shouted sternly. Shannan County City left them with a strong sense of frustration. If they did not drive out the army, they would be afraid that they would leave a shadow in their hearts in the future.

More than ten miles away from the battlefield, Helanxiong sat silently on the ground, and kept coming from a distance, running to him and reporting to him about the location of the Qin cavalry. The infantry brigade led by Yan Haibo had evacuated, but he had left behind with more than 10,000 cavalry. First, he was to respond to Shang Kexi's troops evacuate, and second, he wanted to leave an eternal mark on this prairie.

Whether it is Li Xin or Wang Xiao, when you arrive at the grassland, you will find that the war on the grassland is definitely not what they imagined. And he, the Huns who grew up on the grassland and fought on the grassland for many years, know the best how to defeat their opponents. When they arrive at the grassland, they also have many support areas such as Jishi City, Dayan City and Hetao, but the Qin people need to transport food and grass for a long distance, which will increase and decrease, and the advantages and disadvantages of the war will be quickly reversed.

"Commander, Wang Jian has launched an attack on Commander Shang's troops. Commander Shang is in battle in formation, and there is no danger yet."
