Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 172
The tragic cavalry duel was finally over.

Lou Fanren probably also knew that it was almost impossible to escape from the Qin army's pursuit, so they all fought to the end. Nearly [-] Lou Fanren were killed, and King Lou Fan was also cut down by Meng Chu's sword. Head, now, Lou Fan Wang Wuzi's head with ferocious eyebrows is placed at Meng Jin's feet.

However, the Qin army also suffered heavy casualties.

Four thousand Qin troops, more than 500 people died in battle, and more than [-] people were seriously injured!

Almost all of the remaining 600 people were wounded. Apart from a blood slit on Mengji's face, arrows were shot in his shoulder, thigh and back, but these were only minor injuries. The wound in his heart is still in his heart, the demise of the old Qin people and the suffering of Princess Yingzhen are the lingering pain in his heart.

In a sense, Meng Ji's faith has collapsed.

"General, the battlefield is cleaned up, what should we do next?"

At some point, the captain of the personal army came behind Meng Chu.

Meng Yu looked up, and saw that all the soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle had been piled up on the pile of dry firewood and white grass, and more than 500 soldiers who were seriously injured had also been placed on horseback. They threw the torches in their hands onto the pile of dry firewood and white grass. After a while, the whole pile of firewood burned blazingly.

However, Meng Ji was at a loss as to where Qin Jun should go next.

Back to Linhe?All the old and young women and children have been killed, and the whole city has been turned into ruins, so what are you doing sadly?But if he didn't return to Linhe, where should Qin Jun go?Meng Chu suddenly discovered that although the world is big, there is no room for old Qin people like them anymore.

All of a sudden, a thought suddenly appeared in Meng Ji's heart.

How about continuing north and fighting the Huns?The old Qin people originally moved to Jiuyuan to resist the Huns. If they could die in the expedition against the Huns, it would be an ideal destination. Yes, it’s time to end. The Great Qin Empire has been destroyed for eight years. It's time for their last Great Qin Flying Cavalry to end their fate.

When Meng Ji was about to order the whole army to go north, the horns sounded continuously in the western sky.

"Well, this is..." Meng Jie turned his head leisurely, and saw a faint black line appearing on the western horizon at some point. Apparently, a huge cavalry was rapidly approaching here, but he didn't know what was going on. Are the cavalry from the Linhu people, or the Xiutu people who entered Hetao from Gaoque, or... the Chu army?

However, no matter who came, it doesn't matter anymore.

Since the opponent chose to appear at this time, he must not have any kindness. Since he is an enemy, then prepare for the last assault of the last flying cavalry of the old Qin people.

After getting on his horse, Meng Ji raised his double-edged epee again.

In the end, the remaining [-] riders also got on their horses one after another, turned their horses around and gathered behind Meng Chu.

This time, Meng Ji didn't shout any more slogans, but lightly drew the heavy sword in his hand forward, and more than [-] riders behind him urged their horses one after another, and followed Meng Ji fiercely forward.

############################
Amidst the endless sound of the horn, King Xiutu raised his right hand lightly, and the cavalry who were advancing furiously behind him slowed down their horses one after another, and then slowly spread out towards the two wings.

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of King Xiutu's mouth.

Judging from the situation, Qin Jun seems to have just fought a battle with Lou Fanren. Although he won the final victory, he also paid a heavy price. The old Qin people in Jiuyuan should have more than 5000 cavalry, but now, at most, there are only a few cavalry left. More than 3000 rides, and all of them have bloody shirts, and they are more or less wounded.

It seems that the Hugh Tu army came at the right time.

"Hahaha..." King Xiutu couldn't help laughing out loud.

With [-] Xiutu cavalry against [-] Qin cavalry, no matter how brave the Qin army is, no matter how well-equipped, no matter how well-trained, this battle will undoubtedly be won. , you can get the Qin army's armor, strong bows, hard crossbows, various equipment, and various supplies. From then on, Xiutu is enough to rule Mobei!

However, King Xiutu's laughter didn't stop, and a melodious horn sounded suddenly in the southern sky.

The smile on King Xiutu's face froze in an instant. The [-] Xiutu cavalry who entered Hetao were all around him. Therefore, the person who appeared from the south would definitely not be the Xiutu people. Who were they?

Looking back leisurely, there are rolling mountains in the south.

"My lord, look, what is that?!" A sharp-eyed Xiutu cavalry suddenly shouted.

When King Xiutu and the several ten thousand cavalry commanders around him anxiously looked closely, they saw a large yellow banner suddenly rising from behind the low mountain ridge tens of miles away. Seeing this large yellow banner, Xiutu Wang Bian was taken aback suddenly, because he knew that the barbarians in the grassland absolutely did not have such a big banner. Obviously, the people who came this time were from the Central Plains!

Central Plains people? !How could the Central Plains people appear here? !
The next moment, the dense forest of halberds rose fiercely following the yellow banner, followed by heavy armored soldiers. In less than a moment, thousands of heavy armored infantry came out of the mountain ridge. It surged up and down, and then slowly rolled over along the flat wasteland towards the Xiutu people.

Immediately after the heavy armored infantry appeared, there were teams of convoys of baggage.

After half an hour had passed, the convoys of the Central Plains people were still running up from behind the mountain ridge, as if they would never end, endlessly.

"Retreat, order the ministries to retreat quickly!"

King Xiutu gave the order to retreat without hesitation. He knew how powerful the heavy armored soldiers of the Central Plains were. If it wasn't for the fact that he had suffered enough from the heavy armored infantry of the Great Qin Empire, King Xiutu would not have given the order The younger sister of the "Flower of the Grassland" is dedicated to Qin Shihuang, and the family will not move away from the Longxi Grassland with abundant water and grass.

##########################################
When Xiutu's army hurriedly retreated, the Qin army stopped involuntarily.

The Central Plains army that suddenly appeared behind the southern mountain ridge also attracted the attention of the Qin army.

King Xiutu didn't know the details of the people from the Central Plains who emerged from behind the mountain ridge in the south, but Meng Yu and the soldiers of the Qin army could see clearly at a glance. The Chu army must be the Chu army!I just don't know why the Chu army suddenly appeared at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain.Are they picking up cheap like the barbarians in the west, or are they here to save Qin Jun?
To be honest, Meng Chu didn't hope that the Chu army came to rescue them.

If the Chu army really came to save the Qin army, regardless of whether Mengji and the Qin army leader don't appreciate it, at least from a moral point of view, the old Qin people owe a favor to the Chu army. He didn't want to owe Xiang Zhuang and Chu Jun a favor before he died.

###################
Xiang Zhuang rode a black-tailed horse, surrounded by Wei Liao and Bai Lixian, and walked up the mountain ridge slowly.

In this expedition, all the Chu troops were on foot, and the marching speed was naturally not comparable to that of horseback riding. Fortunately, the battlefield where the Qin army fought fiercely with Lou was at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and Jiuyuan City was at the southern foothill of Yinshan Mountain. It was necessary to climb over the low Yinshan Mountain, and the Chu army appeared directly on the edge of the battlefield.

Looking down from the mountain ridge, you can see the retreating Xiutu army, the Qin army standing still, and the distant battlefield full of corpses.

Even in the air, a faint smell of blood could be smelled.

"General, it seems we are still late." Bai Lixian sighed.

"No, it's not too late for us." Xiang Zhuang shook his head. Although the Qin army suffered heavy losses in the firefight with Lou Annoying, the elite still survived. The remaining two or three thousand Qin troops are the seeds of cavalry , as long as these elites are still there, as long as these thousands of cavalry seeds are still there, the Chu army will soon be able to train a strong cavalry.

After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziliang, I'll leave it to you for the rest."

"Don't worry, General, I will not disgrace my order." Baili Xian rushed to Xiangzhuang and bowed, and then he rode his horse down the mountain ridge surrounded by Bailimao and Youyuan.

Wei Liao put his hands on the awning and watched for a while, then suddenly said: "General, it seems that Xiu Turen didn't bring cattle, sheep, women and children with him!"

"Really?" When Xiang Zhuang heard the words and looked anxiously, he found that Xiutu's army was all cavalry, and there was not a single cow, sheep, woman or child in the army. All the cattle, sheep, livestock, old and young women and children will go out with the army, one for logistical support, and the other for protecting the tribe.

Wei Liao stroked his long beard, and suddenly said: "It seems that Xiutu came in a hurry."

A cold light flashed across Xiang Zhuang's eyes, the meaning behind Wei Liao's words was very clear, the Xiutu cavalry came in a hurry, their cattle, sheep, herders, old and young women and children were probably still behind.

################################
Half a quarter of an hour later, Bai Lixian rode his horse and came to Meng Yu.

Meng Ji said to Bai Lixian indifferently: "Brother Ziliang, are you still determined?"

Bailixian said calmly: "Tianxin should know better than anyone what kind of person my little brother is. As long as it is something that I, Bailixian, believe, there is absolutely no possibility of giving up."

Meng Chu sighed: "Brother Ziliang, in the next life, let's be brothers again in the next life."

"Why wait for the next life?" Baili Xian said, "In this life, let's be brothers for another 50 years!"

Meng Chu shook his head, and said calmly: "Brother Ziliang, I will call all the soldiers of the whole army, if anyone is willing to go with you, and who is willing to return to Da Chu, I will not make it difficult for you."

"Then, what about you, brother Tianfang?" Bai Lixian's expression changed slightly.

From Meng Ji's calm and desolate tone, Bai Lixian faintly heard a hint of abandoning the world, but Meng Ji ignored Bai Lixian, turned around and rode his horse, and galloped towards the Qin army column not far away.
