But now is not the time to talk about this. Once the dispersed army of Da Yueshi finds out that they have fallen into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, they will definitely return quickly.

Therefore, as the general of the army, he must end the battle and complete the evacuation before the army returns!

Fortunately, Jing Ke brought back the head of King Dayuezhi, which for them could greatly boost the morale of the army and demoralize the enemy.

"Not only the King of Dayuezhi, but also the King of Hundreds of Poisons who was intoxicated by me in the tent of Dayuezhi. All the top nobles and generals of the entire Dayuezhi Royal Court should be dead!" Jing Ke held on with his last strength. After saying that, he passed out directly.

Li Xin was overjoyed. No wonder he found that although there were many enemy troops chasing Jing Ke and Robber Zhi, they were disorganized and chaotic.

Even when their army was covered with arrows, the soldiers who were supposed to protect ordinary soldiers did not immediately raise their shields to protect others.

The generals of the Da Yueshi battalions did not immediately launch a counterattack, but stood there in confusion, waiting for orders.

This also resulted in three rounds of arrow rain from the Qin army, directly destroying Dayuezhi's archer legion that lacked protection and defense.

Forget it, after all, Da Yuezhi is not famous for its arrow array.

Some are looking for the eldest prince, some are looking for the second prince, and some are looking for the prime minister or the royal family.

Although there are many people who are really affiliated with King Dayuezhi, now that King Dayuezhi is dead, their first reaction is to go to the eldest prince or the wise kings.

Because the entire highest command system left by the Dayue clan has been destroyed by Jing Ke, and the beheading operation has been completed!

Climb first, trap the enemy, kill the general, and capture the flag!
Among the four major military achievements, Jing Ke had accomplished trapping the enemy, beheading generals, and capturing the flag!
It was no easier to kill the King of the Dayue clan than to capture the flag, not to mention that Jing Ke also destroyed the entire command system of the Dayue clan and fought through them all the way, making the enemy tremble with fear wherever he passed.

Everyone is fighting on their own, even retreating!
This is not surprising. Even in a war in the Central Plains, if the general dies and the command system is destroyed, it will still fall into chaos.

The generals of Dayuezhi on the opposite side also looked like a concubine. Except for the generals around the king's tent who knew what Jing Ke had done, the generals at the middle and outer levels did not know what Jing Ke had done to make the camp so chaotic.

Now that they know that King Dayuezhi was assassinated and almost all the nobles died of poison, they have no idea for a while. You look at me, I look at you, six gods have no master!
In normal times, even if King Dayuezhi died, there would still be eldest princes, other royal families, or the prime minister in charge. But now these royal nobles have led their troops out, and the entire nobles who stayed behind in the camp are dead. Who in the entire army will Nor can he command anyone else except himself.

"Hang up the head of King Dayuezhi for everyone to see!" Li Xin ordered decisively.

Of course, they are not loyal to King Dayuezhi, and this group of people is launching a fierce attack on the Qin army, trying to take back King Dayuezhi's head.

It was only now that Jing Ke explained that Li Xin finally understood the reason.

However, the cavalry, which had been a threat to the Central Plains for hundreds of years, did not take the initiative to set out to interfere with their attack.

Because they themselves are soldiers belonging to various royal tribes, they will only get together during war. Usually, they usually stay in their own tribes or follow their upper-level clan leaders, rather than being completely loyal to the King of the Dayue clan.

The grassland will only become more like this. When King Dayuezhi died, their first reaction was not to avenge King Dayuezhi, but to lead an army to find their clan leader!

When the Qin army learned that King Dayuezhi had been killed and his head taken away, their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the Dayuezhi Royal Court camp like a tiger without fear of death.

However, they lacked command and could only charge in a heartbeat, appearing disorganized. The only benefit they brought was to buy a certain amount of time for the retreating armies.

The battle lasted from noon to sunset, and finally ended.

The Qin army won a great victory, taking more than 13,000 prisoners, killing countless people, and fleeing in large numbers. As for the spoils, there were not many, because this time the Da Yuezhi came to go on an expedition, not at their original royal court camp.

But even so, countless war horses, baggage, cattle and sheep were captured.

This was a great victory, a victory with an astonishing loss ratio.

The Qin army suffered less than five hundred losses. Although there were more than a thousand wounded soldiers, there were not many serious injuries.

"Take him back!"

After tallying the battle losses, Li Xin ordered the troops to retreat.

Originally, he had planned to kill all the prisoners, after all, these prisoners would affect the speed of their evacuation.

But if you think about it carefully, if the king of the Dayue clan dies, the entire Dayue clan will probably fall into endless civil strife. There is almost no possibility that the scattered armies can get together again!

In this way, these more than 10,000 captives are more than 10,000 young men, which is more than 10,000 corvees and hard labor!

Even if part of it is given to Bingzhou, there will still be a lot left to take back to Da Qin as slaves.

Although Da Qin has long abolished slavery, it does not mean that there are no more slaves!

The prisoners of war plundered on this kind of battlefield are all the best slaves.

During the Central Plains War, it was not allowed to turn prisoners of war into slaves, but it was not prohibited to plunder foreign barbarians and make them slaves. Even in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were still many Hu Ji and Kunlun slaves.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Xin felt that it would be more beneficial to escort these prisoners of war back to Gaoque Fortress. As for causing trouble for the remaining Da Yuezhi army, he did not think that it would expand the results of the war.

Why did the Central Plains build the Great Wall? Isn't it because these grassland barbarians ran away if they couldn't defeat them, but they still couldn't catch up?

Therefore, instead of abandoning more than 10,000 prisoners of war to find the remaining Da Yuezhi remnants who may not be able to catch up, it is better to seize the military merits in hand.

The remaining eldest princes, right and left wise kings, and prime ministers of the Dayue clan really wanted to seek revenge from the Qin army after receiving the news, but after weighing the strength of each other, they gave up.

In particular, the eldest prince and the wise kings on the left and right are all qualified to inherit the position of the great chanyu. Even if they are gathered together, who has the final say?
And will the person who has the final say deliberately consume his own strength?
People's hearts are always the most unpredictable, so they all chose to stand still and watched the Qin army return to Gaoque Fortress, waiting for others to be unable to resist taking action first.

"How dare they look at us and fuck them!" Li Xin didn't want to pay attention at first and was a little worried.

But after seeing that the other party was only following them from a distance, and that they were all on guard against each other, Li Xin understood that this group of people wanted to stand out.

Therefore, Li Xin decisively ordered Qiang Xian to lead people to randomly select a lucky person to test.

It's not really to kill the other party, but to test whether the other party dares to fight with them.

The fact is that when Qiang Xian led five thousand cavalry and randomly selected the tribe of King Youxian of the Dayue clan, King Youxian decisively ordered to retreat.
