My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 769: Yi Xun died in battle! Run, Li Xin!
May 18th, the 14th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

In the southern part of Julu County, a group of soldiers holding the Qin army’s flag were marching hard.

At the center of the army, Li Xin read the order in his hand and snorted coldly: "Chang'an Jun still has some conscience."

"If Lord Chang'an also endured the vengeance of the king's assassination, I will curse him severely when I see him!"

The messenger looked blankly, not daring to listen to Li Xin's words, and continued: "The messenger from the court has arrived at the army, ordering our army to withdraw quickly."

"Although the commander-in-chief temporarily rejected Wang Ling because the situation on the front line was different from what the court had expected, he believed that the delay would not last for a few days."

"Therefore, please ask General Li's troops to speed up!"

Li Xin's eyes were full of confidence and determination: "Reporting to the commander."

"Just say that my troops will be able to carry out the orders!"

"Yes." Li Xin's eyes were more serious. "According to my judgment, the attitudes of the county magistrates in all cities in Dai County are a little strange."

"When I attacked the city, the county magistrates remained resolute in defending it, and the cities also came to the aid of each other."

"When I first went south through Dai County, the journey was difficult and each city repeatedly sent out coalition forces to stop me."

"But after I told the enemy general that I wanted to take the route south, I never saw the enemy blocking my way again."

"I think that Prince Jia of Zhao has probably already taken control of Dai County. He may re-establish the banner of Zhao at any time and reunite the forces of the former Zhao State to start a war again."

"Please be careful, coach!"

The messenger immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"

Li Xin handed the order to his family soldiers for safekeeping and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass this order!"

"The whole army is marching!"

Nearly 30,000 Qin troops set out again, rushing towards the main battlefield at a speed that ordinary generals could not understand!

Just as Li Xin's troops were hurrying on their way, the various Yan troops had also received orders from Yan Dan and started their return journey.

The war then began!

Thirteen miles southeast of Julu City.

"Left wing forward, flank the enemy!" Yi Xun roared, "Break through the Qin army's flank for me."

"Kill the Qin army!"

The Yan army infantry on Yi Xun's left wing left the battle formation and launched an attack from the northwest direction towards the central part of the Qiang Huai army in the south of the battlefield.

Yi Xun's left wing of the Yan army alone had 4,000 soldiers, while Qiang Huai's entire army had only more than 7,000 soldiers!
However, Qiang Huai showed no fear and shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"

"The front troops continue to contain the middle of Yixun, and the left and right troops will attack the middle of Yixun from the left and right sides!"

"The infantry in the center will join forces with the troops in the rear to block the enemy's right wing. The knights in the center will follow me to block Yi Xun's left wing!"

With a shout, Qiang Huai kicked his horse and led 800 knights to charge towards the more than 4,000 Yan troops on Yi Xun's left!

Holding the bow in hand, Qiang Huai stared at Yi Xun's left side, silently estimating the distance.

Suddenly, Qiang Huai drew his bow and put an arrow on it, shouting, "Hold the bow! Put an arrow on it!"

"Target the front left, throw!"

"put!"

While giving the order, Qiang Huai held up his short bow, fixed his eyes on a commander of the Yan army, and moved his fingers freely.

"Boom~"

The arrow flew off the bow, flew over a distance of dozens of feet, and pierced steadily and accurately into the eye socket of the commander of the Yan army!
Qiang Huai didn't even look at his own results. He stretched out his right hand like a monkey's arm, took out another arrow, glanced at it with one eye, and shot another arrow.

This time, the sound is like thunder!

"Boom!!!"

Following Qiang Huai, eight hundred bowstrings exploded at the same time, and eight hundred arrows shot into the sky, and then splashed towards Yi Xun's troops!

"Raise your shields! Quick! Disperse and advance, everyone raise your shields!"

"My arm! My arm!"

"Turn left quickly! Only by completely annihilating this Qin army can our army be safe!"

A round of arrows only resulted in the casualties of more than a hundred Yan soldiers, but it dealt a huge blow to the morale of this Yan army.

Because they have been fighting in the north for many years, they know very well what kind of battle situation they are about to face!

After Qiang Huai shot four arrows in a row, he pulled the reins without looking back and shouted, "Go quickly to the right!"

Yi Xun's left troop began to gallop towards the east, but the knights under Qiang Huai took advantage of the speed of their horses and arrived at the east side of Yi Xun's troop first at a faster speed, seizing the position on the right side!
Looking at the Yan army infantrymen so close, Qiang Huai raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "The knights on the left should each shoot and kill the enemy!"

"put!"

The knight on the left immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow full of hope towards the person he loved.

"Do not!!!"

"My leg is shot by an arrow! Don't step on me! Don't step on me..."

"Speed ​​up! Quickly! Turn northeast and make sure to restrict the Qin army's knights' movements!"

Most archers hold the bow with their left hand and pull the string with their right hand, so the attack angles of most archers are limited to the front and left areas.

As the Yan army often dealt with the Xiongnu knights, they knew very well that only by placing themselves on the right side of Qiang Huai's troops could they prevent Qiang Huai's troops from drawing bows and shooting arrows, thus breaking the bad situation of being treated like a kite.

But, knowing is easier said than done!

No matter how hard Yi Xun's troops ran, they could not catch up with the speed of the war horses.

Under the personal leadership of Qiang Huai, only 800 knights tied up more than 4,000 Yan troops on the left side of Yi Xun and continued to kill them!
Seeing this scene from afar, Yi Xun was extremely anxious and shouted, "Pass on my order!"

"The knights in the center will go out to entangle the troops of Qin Duwei Qiang Huai and free up the troops on the left side of our army."

"Leave the chariots and wait for an opportunity to cooperate with the knights to encircle Qin Duwei Qiang Huai!"

Yi Xun's central formation broke apart, and the two chariots slowly accelerated, eventually breaking out of the Yan army formation and charging towards Qiang Huai's troops.

And on the flanks of the chariots there were thousands of knights, galloping towards the right side of Qiang Huai's troops!

Qiang Huai was not surprised but delighted: "I thought it was a pleasant surprise to be able to tie up 4,000 infantry with 800 knights." "But I never thought that General Yan had another surprise waiting for me!"

Although he is a captain, as a veteran who has followed Ying Chengjiao on many expeditions, Qiang Huai no longer regards himself as a point that needs to be protected, but rather as a very important war resource on the battlefield.

At the cost of his own safety and eight hundred knights, he tied up four thousand Yan army infantry, one thousand Yan army knights and two Yan army chariots.

It couldn't be more worthwhile!
After patiently waiting until the Yan army knights and chariots were far away from the central part of Yixun, Qiang Huai shouted excitedly: "Order the left and right divisions to take advantage of the situation and attack the central part of Yixun!"

"Soldiers, tie up Yi Xun's left wing and seize the opportunity for our comrades!"

Under Qiang Huai's extreme pull, although Yi Xun's troops had more than twice the strength of Qiang Huai's troops, Yi Xun's troops were unable to break through Qiang Huai's blockade and even suffered heavy losses!
Looking at the large number of Yan army corpses scattered on the battlefield, Yi Xun's heart was bleeding.

Looking at the Qin army flag gradually shrouded by the night, Yi Xun shouted: "The front troops retreat and rest, the rear troops raise fire and move forward!"

"All units are fighting all night long!"

"Although the Qin army is elite, they are outnumbered after all. In order to pull us back, we have to run more."

"The advantage is still mine!"

"It's just a matter of consumption! Our army can also consume the Qin army!"

Torches were lit and flames rose up.

But the number of torches that lit up was far greater than Yixun had expected!

Yi Xun caught sight of the fire dragon made of torches in the northwest direction. He panicked, but forced himself to sneer, "The Qin troops in this battle are only a few thousand strong. How can there be such a large army?"

"The Qin army has put a lot of torches on the carrying poles to confuse our troops?"

"Ha~"

"This strategy has already been spread all over the world by the defeated soldiers of the Chu army. How could it deceive me?"

"All units, listen up and move forward!"

Looking at Yi Xun's troops marching towards their headquarters, Qiang Huai blinked and asked, "Captain Yi Xun of Yan, are you drunk?"

Our army's nearly 30,000 reinforcements were marching hurriedly, but the Yan army not only did not flee, but instead took the initiative to attack our army!

As expected of a general under Prince Dan of Yan, he is so brave!
Taking the long halberd from his own soldiers, Qiang Huai shouted excitedly: "Soldiers!"

"Our allies have already appeared, and Yan Shu still dared to charge at us!"

"What should we do?"

More than 6,000 remaining soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight!"

Qiang Huai laughed loudly: "Beat the winning drum!"

"March!"

Qiang Huai took the lead and personally led the central army to meet the Yan army.

Head-on collision!

Under Qiang Huai's deliberate command, the Qin and Yan armies quickly became entangled as soon as they engaged in battle.

When Yi Xun discovered that the fire dragon in the distance was not an illusion created by a carrying pole, but a real Qin army of nearly 30,000, the Yan army had no room to avoid!

Yi Xun could only watch as Li Xin led the Great Qin Northern Army Corps to crash heavily into Yi Xun's most vulnerable rear!

"The rear of our army has been broken! The rear of our army is in chaos!"

"Captain, our army has been completely surrounded by the Qin army! What should we do? Captain, please give us your instructions as soon as possible!"

"Don't kill me anymore, please surrender!"

Suddenly surrounded by the Qin army, the Yan army's already low morale instantly plummeted to the bottom!

A large number of Yan troops surrendered on the spot, and even those who were still fighting had panic on their faces.

Qiang Huai laughed heartily: "Yan Shu! Open your eyes wide and take a good look, who is in the majority now!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived, soldiers, kill the enemy!"

Just as Qiang Huai was about to lead his central troops to break through the Yan army, he saw five chariots had already cut a bloody path through the Yan army and spread a red carpet of flesh and blood all the way in front of Qiang Huai.

Behind the red carpet, Li Xin personally led the Chanqi cavalry to charge!

Qiang Huai hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Captain Li, for coming all the way to help me!"

"After this battle, I will hold a grand banquet to thank you!"

Li Xin casually bowed in return and said, "Captain Qiang, there is no need to thank you."

"Captain Qiang will need to take care of the follow-up of this battle."

Qiang Huai was stunned: "What does Li Duwei mean?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "My troops have come from a long distance and are in urgent need of rest."

"The Yan army's formation has been broken and their morale is gone. There is no need for our army to fight any more."

"I will lead my comrades to set up camp and rest immediately. The rest of the Yan army will be taken care of by the Qiang commander."

Qiang Huai said hurriedly: "Although our army has blocked the Yan army for several days, it is only when Captain Li leads his troops that we can win the battle."

"This battle and pursuit will naturally be handed over to Lieutenant Li's troops."

The stage in a war that can earn the most military merit is definitely the pursuit stage.

Now that Li Xin's troops have completed the most difficult siege battle, but are not participating in the pursuit, it is like doing the work but not getting paid.

If this matter gets out, Qiang Huai will no longer be able to live as a human being!
Li Xin smiled and raised his head: "This achievement is enough."

"The commander-in-chief gave us the order to come to the aid of our fellow soldiers. Military merit is secondary."

Looking at Yi Xun's head with his eyes open, Qiang Huai finally felt relieved and said, "Since it is the commander's order, I should not say anything more."

"Our army's camp is five miles to the southeast. If Captain Li doesn't mind, you can lead your men to stay in our camp directly!"

Li Xin nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!"

Throwing Yi Xun's head to his family soldiers, Li Xin walked away proudly without even looking at the defeated Yan army behind him.
