Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 619
  After the initial madness, the decline of the Qin army became more and more obvious.

After Deng Qiang changed his horse, he led his remaining two hundred cavalry to continue the charge.

There were repeated exchanges, and the Liang Army's formation was penetrated several times, but the gap was quickly filled by Liang Jun, but Deng Qiang still charged in tirelessly.

It seemed to be Qin Jun's last breath.

"This man has so much blood and no knowledge of destiny, how pitiful he is. Send an order, Liu Laozhi, Zhuge Kan, He Qian, and Liu Gui, the four generals, will lead the rear army to attack!"

Wang Meng stood under the banner with his hands behind his hands and gave orders.

After fighting for almost two hours, the Qin army was exhausted and had reached the final stage, and could only deliver a final fatal blow.

"Fu Jian is indeed a hero, but it is a pity that he was born in the same life as His Majesty, so he suffered such a defeat. The Fu family should not have returned to Guanzhong back then. If he had stayed in the Central Plains, the outcome was still uncertain." Fang Kuang lamented.

"At that time, Ran Min's reputation was rising. Fu Hong was no match for him and had to leave. If he stayed in the Central Plains, he might not be as strong as he is today. Di Qin's defeat was certain and could not be reversed without human power. After this battle, Daliang would be able to unify the world. ." Wang Meng pointed at the battlefield.

On the battlefield, with the addition of Liu Laozhi, Zhuge Kan and other four troops, the war has reached its final stage.

Although each unit only had more than [-] soldiers, it boosted the morale of the Liang army and plunged the Qin army into despair. Some people actually knelt down and surrendered.

In this kind of battle, as long as one person surrenders, thousands of people will follow.

An ant is still alive, let alone a human being?
  Defeat is certain and cannot be reversed without human effort.

Deng Qiang was still charging, but there were only forty or fifty cavalry left around him.

Deng Qiang himself was also hit by several arrows. When he met Liu Laozhi and Zhuge Kan, he was tightly surrounded, and his figure was gradually submerged in the weapons...

As he fell, Qin Jun's last breath died.

In Gaixin, fewer and fewer Qin troops were standing. They either fell down or knelt down.

The corpses piled up into a small hill. The living Qin army kept retreating upwards, but they still could not avoid the thrusts of the spears.

Fu Jian stood directly on the corpse mound, looking at the messy battlefield and the soldiers who continued to fall. His eyes no longer had the luster before, and he suddenly felt like he was breathless.

Scanning the battlefield, Deng Qiang was gone, Yang An was gone, and the familiar generals fell one by one...

The guards around him were still fighting bloody battles, but the sword in his hand hung down, "You guys, go and beg for your life."

"King of Heaven..." Everyone looked back at him.

Some people were happy, some were angry, some were extremely confused, and some were crying. All kinds of eyes focused on Fu Jian, making him feel ashamed.

As soon as the words came out, people immediately knelt down from the pile of corpses, crawled on the ground, and begged Liang Jun for their lives.

"You surrender." After a long time, Fu Jian calmly said this again. He had tried his best in this battle.

No, from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he had tried his best, worked hard to govern, and tried every means to buy time and strengthen Di Qin, but in the end it was still irreversible. A thought suddenly came to his mind: This may be God's will...

"King of Heaven..." Zhu Tong was still standing behind him.

"You go too, let's all go." Fu Jian waved to the guards around him.

Not a single one of the more than three to four hundred personal guards moved. Many of these people were gray-haired men who belonged to his father Fu Xiong. After following the father and son for twenty or thirty years, the people who escaped had long since escaped, leaving behind They are all those who died generously...

"Master Liang... is quite magnanimous. Your Majesty has an uncle-nephew relationship with him, so he will not... embarrass your Majesty..." Zhu Tong said with difficulty.

Fu Jian suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, I am the King of Qin, how can I surrender to the enemy? Everyone in the world can surrender, but I will not surrender!"

"I am willing to die with your majesty!" the guards said with emotion.

Liang Jun attacked one after another, densely packed with iron armor and spears, completely surrounding the corpse mound. "You and others..." Fu Jian's eyes filled with tears, "If I can have you and others as my subordinates in this life, God will treat me well, so follow me to fight again and go to hell together!"

"kill!"

Fu Jian raised his sword and rushed down from the corpse mound. Zhu Tong followed closely, and the guards also rushed down. They collided with Liang Jun's spear, and blood splashed in the sunset...

The fire among the reeds had long since ceased, and in the evening wind, pieces of ashes fell, as if it were snowing.

The gray black on the south side contrasts sharply with the blood red on the north side.

But they were all drowned in the sunset.

Fu Jian's body was carried in front of Wang Meng. His chest was stained with blood. Although the man was dead, he was holding the sword tightly in his right hand.

His eyes seemed to be staring at the person in front of him.

Wang Meng couldn't help but look at Fu Jian a few more times. He felt a sense of déjà vu, and unexpectedly reached out and closed Fu Jian's eyes, "Send to Pu Ban quickly to report the victory to His Majesty!"

"Take orders." The two guards struggled to pick up Fu Jian's body, put it into the carriage, and drove eastward overnight.

"Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief, for your unparalleled achievement." The surrounding generals congratulated him one after another.

"Your Majesty will reward you for this great achievement with the title of Prime Minister!" Someone opened his mouth and came.

As soon as he said this, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

In the past few years, some people have been secretly angry with the king. With his achievements in purging Guandong, resisting Murong Chui, defeating Murong Ke, etc., isn't the position of prime minister already within reach?

But there was not even a Shangshu order. It was obvious that someone in the court was deliberately suppressing him.

In the eyes of many people, Chang Wei is unknown, why should he be ranked above Wang Meng?
  And if Wang Meng is not promoted, the generals under his command cannot be promoted either. They are all grasshoppers on a rope, with their interests at stake.

Wang Meng took advantage of the opportunity to set up the Zhengxi General's Mansion, which had already formed a force.

"How dare you talk nonsense here and trap the governor into injustice?" Fang Kuang was the first to react and scolded him sternly.

Since ancient times, Wang Meng has offended so many people with his great achievements, so it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of him.

Wang Meng glanced at the generals, not interested, and waved his hand, "I will never dare to say these words again. Military law is engaged in, the weather is hot, the battlefield should be swept quickly, and the bodies should be buried. Although Fu Jian is defeated, Guanzhong has not been pacified."

Fu Jian was defeated, but there were still several forces in Guanzhong.

The Qiang forces in Longyou, including Fu Zhong in Fufeng County, Fu Ya in Liangzhou, Fu Luo in Hetao, and Fu Fang in Hanzhong, had tens of thousands of troops.

In particular, the Longyou Qiang people and Fuya people in Liangzhou were not greatly affected by the drought and had a very large population.

If these forces get together, it will be difficult to pacify them in the short term.

However, Guanzhong is a hot potato due to the severe drought.

If Guanzhong cannot provide food, it will be difficult for Liang Jun to further his western expedition.

For this war, all Yecheng's grain and grass were transported westward.

"Report——" Several scouts rushed from the west, smoke billowing, "report to the governor, Yao Chang fled back to Nan'an, and captured Di Bozhi, Pang Wei, Niu Shuang, Wang Qinlu, Yang Nan, Dang Xiu and other powerful figures. With the help of the chief, he gathered more than [-] Qiang tribesmen in Longshang, claiming to be the general, the great Chanyu, and the king of Qin for ten thousand years, and led his troops to attack Fu Zhong's headquarters in Yongcheng!"

Hearing this news, Wang Meng felt relieved, "There is nothing to fear from people who are short-sighted."
