My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 357 General! We lost (please give me a reward to book all the monthly passes!)

Li Xin stared dryly, he was unwilling to bear this defeat.

"Let's fight in again and cooperate with the soldiers inside."

Although Li Xin and other troops were still being chased, he did not pay attention to the pursuing troops behind them at all.

He was surrounded by crossbow masters. As long as he got a little closer, arrows would immediately send them back to the west.

After hearing this, the generals around him immediately stood up to object.

"General, think twice. If you rush in at this time, it will be difficult to come out."

Li Xin stared at him, "What do you want to say? Do you want me to abandon the soldiers on the battlefield and escape alone?"

"General, we have been defeated. At this time, the general should consider the withdrawal of the entire army and how much can be saved. We can no longer fight the Chu army."

"Absurd! Our Qin army is invincible, but the Chu army is just designing a trap. Do they dare to fight our army face to face?"

"General! We are defeated! We are defeated!" General Pi said again and again.

The soldiers behind also heard these words, and they all felt a thousand kinds of feelings in their hearts.

In his haste before, Li Xin didn't even think about King Qin, but when his generals kept reminding him that they were defeated, Li Xin suddenly thought of his king in his mind.

Li Xin reined in his horse and no longer wanted to look back.

Xiang Yan heard that General Li Xin had broken out and rushed out with 6,000 men. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"If we continue to fight like this to the death with the Qin army, our Chu army will suffer more casualties, and changes will occur. This Qin army can be regarded as experienced in hundreds of battles. The longer the war lasts, the more weaknesses of our army will be exposed. "

Xiang Yan thought for a while and immediately ordered, "Close the net. Go to the military formation and kill all those who can be killed. No one will be left alive. And remember, don't chase poor invaders."

The scout took the order and went to deliver the order.

As a result, on the battlefield, many Chu generals did not pay attention to the last sentence.

Don't chase the poor criminals.

When they saw the Qin army constantly escaping, like sheep trapped in a fence constantly trying to jump over the fence, this inspired the most primitive desires deep in their hearts.

The generals of the Chu army did not hold back. They rushed forward and tried to catch the sheep that were trying to climb over the wall.

Another confrontation between two forces.

The Chu army surrounded the Qin army in a corner, forcing the Qin army to give up even the most important thing of survival. The Qin army went crazy and slashed with swords.

This frightened the Chu army. Under such circumstances, gaps were opened one by one.

On the other side, Li Xin went up the hillside and saw many Qin troops surrounded. More and more Chu troops came from all directions.

Li Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Pass the golden drum and the whole army will retreat."

Note that this is just a retreat, not a retreat. To retreat is to be defeated, and to retreat is to join the rear army.

At this time, Li Xin did not realize how complete the defeat was.

The Chu army did not prepare an ambush for him, but a huge encirclement.

When fighting, Li Xin always likes to charge forward with a small number of elites. He is not only a passionate young general who likes to charge into battle, but also is regarded by Ying Zheng as someone who can be commander-in-chief.

He would keep a large number of soldiers behind in case of any eventuality.

But before this order was passed down by the scouts, the scouts from the rear army rushed over.

"Report! General! All three captains in the rear army were surrounded and killed."

This order was like a bolt from the blue.

All the officers shouted in unison, "What did you say?"

"What nonsense!"

"Fart! I'm going to cut out your tongue." The generals became uneasy because the scout who came to deliver the order only had half his life left and was carrying three arrows on his back.

After saying this, he opened his mouth again, as if he had something important to say to Li Xin, but his face turned black and he fell off the horse.

The generals didn't even have time to beat their chests and stamp their feet.

Li Xinle stopped his horse. He looked around and saw many soldiers fighting bloody battles down the hillside.

At this time, Li Xin didn't want to break through anymore.

"Fight back! Kill them all! Avenge our brothers."

Li Xin's eyes were full of scarlet red, and other generals also had tears of blood in their eyes.

At this time, General Pi stood up and said, "General! Calm down! Be sure to calm down."

"They killed the captains of my Qin Army! Since the Qin Army established its military system, so far, I have only lost eleven captains. I only lost four captains in one battle. How can I go back?" Meet the king."

"Don't worry about me. I'm not worthy of being a commander and I've betrayed the trust of the armed forces. You can leave."

Li Xin added, "When you go back and see the king, tell me that I, Li Xin, can no longer serve the king in this life. May there be an afterlife!"

After that, Li Xin fastened his cloak again and prepared to enter the formation and fight the Chu army.

But he was caught by the generals of the Qin army, "General, this Chu army is using a series of tactics. If one plan fails, then another will succeed. The reason for its failure now is that one did not listen to the prince's advice, and the other was underestimating the enemy. This is It was the fault of the entire Qin army, and any general would have been defeated. Why should the general blame himself?"

"Although the king punishes me, we will live and die together as generals, and advance and retreat together."

After hearing this, Li Xin couldn't hear what he said. He just said stubbornly, "When the prince said that he would attack Qin with 400,000 troops, I told the king that I could destroy Chu with 200,000 troops. Now I, Qin, have already If I'm defeated, what face do I have when I go back to meet the king? It's better to fight to the end and die for the country."

Li Xin's face was as cold as iron.

"No."

"No!"

"General, think twice."

A group of people gathered around Li Xin and tried their best to dissuade him.

They were all older than Li Xin, and some had experienced battles with Li Mu before, so they were not as resistant to defeat as Li Xin.

"If you lose, you can come back again, but if you die, there will be nothing."

Li Xin refused, "I am a general. I can either enjoy the glory or live and die with the soldiers. How can I live?"

General Pi returned and advised, "General, leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. If you die, who will avenge so many brothers? Furthermore, as the Lord, you will die as a martyr. But what about us? We are just ordinary people. , we want to go back to see our wife and children."

"There are still so many brothers here. More than 30,000 people are still on the battlefield. General, only you can bring us to death."

The faces of all the soldiers were covered with black ash, and their bodies were dripping with blood.

All the officers and soldiers of the Qin army gathered around Li Xin and began to cry.

"I want to go home, I haven't fulfilled my filial piety yet!" Someone cried while wiping away tears.

The words that were originally timid, but said at this time, were like a soft sword, piercing into the hearts of the soldiers.

Li Xin knew that if he refused to admit defeat for a moment longer to save his face, dozens of lives would have been lost in that moment.

Li Xin looked at the Chu State's military flag, climbed onto the chariot again, and said, "The whole army retreats and takes the road to Wancheng. Pass the golden drum!"

General Pi reminded, "General, Wancheng is the boundary of Chu State."

Li Xin stared and said, "Old man Xiang Yan, he designed this trap just to wear down our army. There are so many Chu troops near Pingyu, which is really beyond my expectation. But there are so many people in Pingyu, so The surrounding city defenses will be empty. If they go to Xiangdi again, they will definitely be on guard."

"Only by going through Wancheng can we have a chance of survival. And there is a road from Wancheng to Pingyu by their Chu army. If my guess is correct, this road should be smooth."
