I’m The King Chapter 1015: : East to West (eight)
Shang Kexi walked before the wounded soldiers, full of suffering deep in his heart, retreating, compared to defending the city, is actually not easy, especially when he has thousands of wounded soldiers.
Walking to the deepest point, I saw Qian Kezhuang, who was so injured that he couldn't move anymore, was lying there gasping for breath. In the only one eye, he could no longer see the former glory, and it seemed A little bleak.
"Old Qian, can you hold on?" He sat cross-legged beside Qian Kezhuang.
"Hey, I can't die for the time being, but I'm afraid it won't be long!" Qian Kezhuang smiled with difficulty, "I killed more than a dozen Qin soldiers, and I will support my unborn baby again." A little bit of family business.”
Shang Kexi looked away sadly.
"What's the matter, Commander Shang, what can you do?" Qian Kezhuang asked.
"Commander He Lan issued an order to retreat, ordering us to abandon Shannan County City and retreat to Jishi City." Shang Kexi lowered his voice.
"What?" Qian Kezhuang exclaimed suddenly, "Shannan County is our home, here are our countless fertile fields and our village, how can we give up?"
"The people of Qin threatened Zhao Guo to open up Shanggu County. Li Xin's 100,000 troops came out of Shanggu and suddenly attacked Dai County. Dai County is now gone. If you retreat, you may be surrounded by the Qin army." Shang Kexi explained: "The current plan is to give up Shannan County City and Dai County first, and then fight back in the future."
"Why did the Zhao people do this?" Qian Kezhuang asked in shock: "They were just killed by the Qin people by tens of thousands of soldiers. Did they bow their knees to the Qin people before their blood dried?"
"Zhao Qi himself is not a guy with backbone." Shang Kexi spit, "Guanzhong Dapingyuan lost his soul, and the group of generals from Zhao State , Dead to death, demoted to demoted, and now those who gain power are Zhao Qi's people, one hundred thousand elites have died, Zhao Guo has lost its vitality, the people of Qin probably use Daijun as bait!"
"Zhao people don't even think about it. If we are defeated by the Qin people, how can we have them? I'm afraid the Qin people will deal with them when they turn around!" Qian Kezhuang said.
"The so-called short-sightedness is nothing more than that, or they are still counting on us to fight the Qin people to lose both sides, so they can come to take advantage of it!" Shang Kexi laughed.
"It's not up to their soft bones to get cheap! I'm pissed!" Qian Kezhuang spat, but it affected the wound, and the pain was throbbing." Commander Shang, the army is about to retreat, and the seriously injured soldiers here can only I'm afraid I can't take it with me."
He looked at Shang Kexi, and said straightforwardly.
Shang Kexi lowered his head. Slightly injured soldiers can be tied to horses and retreat with the army, but seriously wounded soldiers cannot be taken away no matter what. Even if they are tied to horses, how can they withstand the jolts of the horses? I lost my life.
Qian Kezhuang also fell silent. After a while, he raised his head and smiled, "Commander Shang, it's nothing. When I was in Liaoning Wei, I never thought that I could come back alive. All these years, I married a wife and have an unborn son, enough money, you go, the final defense of Shannan County will be handed over to us."
Shang Kexi turned his head to one side, trying his best to hold back the tears to keep him from shedding.
"Okay, Commander Shang, don't act like a child. You said how many people died in this battle, and you don't care how many of us are there. If you really pity me, you can find my wife later. Babies, just take care of them."
"After we leave, you will surrender to the Qin army, or you will survive." Shang Kexi whispered.
"How is it possible, Commander Shang, you look down on us too much." Qian Kezhuang said with a chuckle, "We don't want to be like those Zhao Jun, who are slaughtered like chickens. Even if we die, we will be killed." I still want to bite their flesh. Commander Shang, this Shannan County city cannot be left to the Qin army. Over the years, we have managed it too firmly. If we keep it, when we come back in the future, will it It’s not that it takes more effort and more lives, even if we leave, we have to burn him to nothing. Please one thing, when you leave, put all the flammable things to me. Stack up, when the time comes, a big fire will not only burn Shannan County City to nothing, but also stop the enemy and help you retreat further."
Shang Kexi nodded silently.
The north gate of Shannan County City slid open silently in the dark night, and groups of blood-stained soldiers, although exhausted, still lined up neatly, silently facing the city that they had guarded for nearly half a month Bow, then turn around and disappear into the darkness.
Qian Kezhuang half propped up his body, through the half-broken window above the city tower, looking at the team that was gradually receding below the city, he waved his hands vigorously, the tears in his eyes The robes fell down, and firewood was piled up all around him, and a torch was burning on top of his head.
At this time, in different places in Shannan County, hundreds of soldiers who were seriously injured were almost doing the same thing, and they watched their robes fade away with affection.
"Farewell, brothers!" Qian Kezhuang reached out and pulled out the torch on the wall above his head, and took a nostalgic glance at the quiet Shannan County City in the dark night.
"My *Qin people!" He yelled, stretched out his hand, and lit the firewood beside him.
With a bang, a blazing fire suddenly burst out inside the tower, and flames sprang out from the openings of the tower, and in an instant, the entire tower was set on fire. The fire was ignited at the same time, and the fire spread throughout the city in a very short time.
"General, the city of Shannan County is on fire!" A Qin general rushed into Wang Xiao's big tent, and Wang Xiao had obviously just received the news, and was walking out while putting on his armor Come on, when he walked out of the tent, the city of Shannan County he saw had already turned into a sea of flames.
"Shang Kexi is about to run away!" Wang Xiao's face was extremely ugly. He had been fighting for more than half a month in Shannan County City, and lost more than 10,000 soldiers, but he hadn't finished his battle yet. He Lanxiong's soldiers and horses are obviously delusional. In the past two days, he has been thinking about how to face King Qin Wulie's questioning, but he never thought that Shang Kexi, who had been resisting desperately, would run away.
"Immediately attack the city, occupy the county, send troops to catch up with them, none of them can let them escape!" Wang Xiao said fiercely.
It is true that there is not a single soldier defending Shannan County City, but the fire that permeated the entire county city is more secure than any defense. The Qin army cannot approach at all. His hair is curled up, he can't even breathe well, the whole city has been turned into a sea of flames, how can he attack the city?
The helpless Qin people waited until the sky was bright and the heat subsided. Then Wang Xiao dispatched Wang Jian with 5,000 cavalry to pass through Shannan County City and follow Shang Kexi's retreating direction. He Lanxiong's army can't be stopped anymore, so it's still gratifying to win, and the achievement of annihilating 30,000 Shannan County soldiers can barely be done.
Wuqianshan Nanjun soldiers staggered on the vast wilderness, Shang Kexi did not relax at all. Although they walked all night first, for them who were all infantry, a night of rapid marching was not enough. It was only fifty miles away, and this was the speed after they abandoned all their luggage. On the green grassland, the traces of their marching were so eye-catching, and it would not take long for an army with a large number of cavalry to pass. Can catch up with them.
The scouts behind him kept chasing after him and reported to him how far the chasing army was from them. Qin Jun's five thousand cavalry led by Wang Jian were getting closer and closer to them.
"There are still ten miles to go!" Shang Kexi listened to the last scout who had withdrawn, and looked up at the exhausted team. He knew that it would not take long for the enemy to catch up. But in the wilderness Above all, infantry and cavalry fight in the field, and the outcome is self-evident. Instead of being hunted down like sheep while fleeing, it is better to fight in a favorable terrain and fight the enemy to the death.
"Go to that beam, line up, and prepare to kill the enemy!" Shang Kexi looked at the beam full of poplar trees in front of him, and ordered loudly.
Ascending to the beam, the poplar trees fell to the ground in an instant. In a very short time, they were built into a simple fence and countless horses, and they were discarded on the **** in a haphazard manner. On the road. Just after finishing all this, the flag of the Qin army has appeared in his vision.
"Come on, come on, if you want to eat me, I want to bite you!" Shang Kexi snorted, looking around, but there was still a hope in his heart. I retreated by myself, didn't I arrange for his manpower? Or here, it won't be long before it will become the dream of the Qin people. Thinking of the powerful Hun cavalry under He Lanxiong's command, I am still full of expectations.
"Rush up and kill them all!" Wang Jian raised the iron spear in his hand high and shouted sharply. The Shannan County City left their father and son with a strong sense of frustration. From now on, there will be shadows in their hearts.
More than ten miles away from the battlefield, He Lanxiong sat silently on the ground. Scouts kept coming from afar, rushing to him, reporting to him the location of the cavalry of the Qin Army, and the infantry brigade led by Yan Haibo. He has already evacuated, but he stayed behind with more than 10,000 cavalry. One is to support the retreat of Shang Kexi's troops, and two, he wants to leave an eternal mark on the Qin people on this prairie.
Whether it's Li Xin or Wang Xiao, when you get to the grassland, you will find that the war on the grassland is by no means what they imagined. And he, who grew up on the grassland and fought on the grassland for many years The Huns know best how to defeat their opponents. When they reach the prairie, they have Jishi City, Wild Goose City and Hetao and many other support places, while the Qin people need to transport food and grass over long distances. The bad will be quickly reversed.
"Commander, Wang Jian has already launched an attack on Commander Shang's troops. Commander Shang is fighting in formation, and there is no danger yet."
"Order the whole army to attack!" He Lanxiong stood up vigorously. (To be continued)
