Chapter 659 Xiao Lei Dies in Battle
Chapter 659 Xiao Lei Dies in Battle
Bai Wuan was getting closer and closer to Xiao Lei, and the two were almost at hand, but there were many Qin people and Sichuan troops between the two, fighting fiercely.
Bai Wuan shouted,
"Xiao Lei, your defeat is certain. Stop resisting stubbornly. Do you want all these Sichuan troops who have come from afar to die in battle?"
"Your mother's shit! Bai Wuan, you despicable villain, I would rather die than surrender! I will never be like you, a treacherous and shameless villain!"
Xiao Lei knew that he couldn't escape and that he was doomed to fail.
But he would rather die than surrender and would fight to the death.
"Bai Wuan, I tell you this: even if our Sichuan Army fights to the death today, we will not let the Yan Army lose a single tooth, and we will kill as many of your soldiers as possible, so that when you invade our Sichuan Kingdom in the future, you can reduce some of the pressure on our Sichuan Army!"
"My dear Okawa! Never retreat! Kill!"
Xiao Lei roared and commanded the army to continue charging.
He did not go into battle himself because he knew that if he died, the army would be finished.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and led the remaining troops to charge towards the Longxiong Army, fighting a bloody battle with them to the end.
The war continues.
The fight lasted from the afternoon to the evening, and from the evening to dark.
The Yan army fought at night with torches and lights.
It was impossible for them to withdraw from the encirclement. The most they could do was slow down the offensive, take turns retreating to eat and rest, and then engage in battle again.
Overnight, tens of thousands of Sichuan troops died tragically.
Xiao Lei organized several breakouts, but was unable to escape.
On the main force's side, more and more Sichuan troops took advantage of darkness and quietly surrendered to the Yan army.
Maybe it was dark and others couldn't see it, including the coach, so it would reduce their shame.
If they surrendered to other armies, they would worry about being abused as slaves and buried alive, but this would not happen if they surrendered to the Yan army, as the Yan army had a good reputation.
The long dark night finally passed.
The sky began to turn pale in the east and gradually brightened.
Xiao Lei sat tiredly on the horse, holding a kettle and moistening his throat with cold water to make himself feel more comfortable.
He didn't know what happened in the north at night, he only knew that the sound of fighting there was getting quieter and quieter.
By the early hours of the morning, even things had quieted down.
When the sky brightened, he finally saw clearly.
I saw that there were no Sichuan troops in the north.
Only the Yan army, wearing black tassels and black armor, lined up in neat formation, were staring at him with a fierce look.
There were only 10,000 to 20,000 Sichuan troops left by his side.
At night, the main forces of the Sichuan Army in the north surrendered one after another.
"Haha...hahahaha..."
Xiao Lei laughed loudly towards the sky, and his laughter echoed in the dawn sunshine.
When he came, he couldn't think of the reason for his loss. Seven hundred thousand against thirty-five thousand, fighting on home soil, against the Yan army that was short of food and grass, the advantage was on my side!
But now, only more than 10,000 people were left out of the 400,000 people. He became a defeated general, and looking around, he saw enemies everywhere!
The enemies everywhere and the piles of corpses formed a magnificent scene under the early sun.
The name of this scroll is "Heroes on Horseback and Swords of War".
Xiao Lei dropped the kettle, laughed miserably, then drew his sword and looked towards the south.
"Your Majesty, I can no longer fight for my country and defend my homeland. I hope Your Majesty will manage the army well, resist the Yan invaders, and protect my people.
I apologize to you, I will go first."
He raised his sword high and roared loudly,
"Dachuan! We will win!"
"kill!!"
He took the remaining 10,000 or so defeated soldiers and fearlessly launched a charge against the hundreds of thousands of Yan troops.
He rode his horse and led his soldiers into the enemy's battle formation, fighting bravely and killing the enemy bravely.
In the end, he was stabbed several times and bled to death!
None of the more than 10,000 defeated Sichuan troops surrendered, and all of them died in battle!
The King Yong of Sichuan, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, fulfilled his duty and would rather die than surrender.
Although defeated, it is still glorious.
……
The last battle of the Yan army in Qin territory ended.
Guan Shouchang ordered the entire army to return to the camp to rest. The 40,000 people who defended the city yesterday and did not participate in the battle came out with auxiliary troops to clean up the battlefield and take over the enemy camp ten miles away.
This time, the Yan army seized a large amount of supplies from the Sichuan army, and the treasury and armory in Xianyang City were almost full.
Several commanders were also very tired, but they did not rest.
After returning to the temporary commander's residence, they washed the blood off their bodies and sat down to eat and hold a meeting.
Guan Shouchang said,
"The battle is finally over. Have you counted how many casualties we suffered and how many enemy soldiers we captured?"
Su Wuan took out a piece of paper from his arms and said,
"Last night, my garrison was responsible for counting the number of prisoners. There were probably about 100,000. The Sichuan Army was quite fierce. A full 300,000 were killed in the battle."
Guan Shouchang said,
"Alas, another great war is about to begin. Let's clean up the battlefield and conserve our energy in the next few days.
Send people to Shengjing immediately to transport people and spoils. We can't delay any longer.
General Zhao, you send some cavalry, and we will find some carriages to transport people and gold and silver. We will all travel by horse, and we must arrive there before the Emperor of Wei arrives in Shengjing.
Anyway, we won't be fighting in the near future, so just send your people over and come back quickly."
Guan Shouchang was eager to present the Qin Emperor's work at the celebration banquet, so he couldn't fall behind.
This is all about face.
Chen Qing asked,
"What about the 100,000 prisoners?"
Bai Wuan said,
"I suggest……"
"Don't suggest it."
Guan Shouchang immediately interrupted the spell.
"You can make suggestions on anything except this."
Bai Wuan: ...
Isn't it just the killing of 400,000 surrendered soldiers? Is it necessary to be so targeted?
How could I not know that the Yan army did not kill prisoners?
Chen Qing rubbed his cold hands, took a sip of warm wine, and said,
"It's the same old routine. They will be assigned to various corps to replenish the troops lost in the battle."
Su Wuan said with some worry,
"That's not good. The prince agreed to form a group with General Bai's surrendered soldiers.
If we incorporate these 100,000 men into our own army, our numbers will exceed the quota. Wouldn't that mean we are privately expanding our army and gaining power over others? "
Zhao Biao said unhappily,
"This is not right, and that is not right. The Yan army cannot kill prisoners, so are we just going to keep them eating for nothing?"
Guan Shouchang knocked on the table and said,
"Reporting the losses, normal replenishment is still allowed. This was a tough battle, so you must have suffered a lot of casualties, right?"
Su Wuan said,
"Our army suffered 20,000 casualties."
Chen Qing said,
"We have eighteen thousand men, not counting the minor wounded."
"The Longxiong Army suffered 25,000 casualties. This time, they were attacked from both sides. Otherwise, they wouldn't have suffered so many casualties."
