Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 160
The already hungry Chu army had no strength to turn around and fight the Qin army. As soon as the Qin army launched an attack, bursts of wailing from the dying Chu people spread throughout the wilderness.

Hearing such a sound, the Chu army, who was tempted by the food, ran towards the camp with the last bit of strength, and even added a bit of speed at the critical moment of life and death.

Nearer, closer, only a few miles away, as long as you escape to the camp, you will be safe.

Under the threat of death, the exhausted Chu army squeezed out his last strength.

When the fleeing Chu army was still seven or eight miles away from Xiang Yan's camp, they were spotted by Xiang Yan's scouts, and at the same time, the main force of the Qin army who followed closely behind.

Xiang Yan understood that there were only 20 soldiers in his battalion, but the fleeing Chu army was still more than the number he currently had.

Seeing the situation of the Qin army, Xiang Yan was even more chilled. The Qin people clearly planned to use the more than 20 fleeing troops as vanguards to disperse their positions.

There is far no room for such a large number of deserters in the camp, and once one's camp is attacked by the deserters, there is no need to fight this war.

Immediately, he sent envoys to meet the fleeing army, ordering them not to enter the Chu army camp as a general, and scattered to the two wings of the camp to support and assist.

However, when the envoys sent by Xiang Yan met the fleeing army, they found that the exhausted Chu army had no organizational system, and they were already in a mess and running away.

No one answered when I wanted to convey the military order.

Seeing this situation, the emissary could only return immediately and report what he saw to Xiang Yan.

After hearing the messenger's report, Xiang Yan raised her brows coldly and her face suddenly turned livid.

"Qin Jun is really ruthless!" After slapping Shuai's case viciously, Xiang Yan gnashed his teeth and ordered: "Call out the iron guards and come out to fight!"

There are only a thousand or so iron guards, but they can be said to be the elite of the Chu army. Each person is covered with iron helmets and armor. This is a staggering amount of effort to build such an army during the Warring States period when iron smelting was not yet well developed.

This is the only one of the Chu army equipped with such equipment, and it has always been Xiang Yan's personal guard.

This time Xiang Yan summoned this army, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

Under Xiang Yan's order, the iron guards in heavy armor walked out of the camp, and lined up on the outside with sharp swords in their hands.

And what Jianfeng was pointing at was indeed Chu Pingyu's defeated army that was rushing towards Xiang Yan's camp not far away.

Not long after, the fleeing Chu army had already reached the front of the camp, but what they expected was quite different, what greeted them was not free food or pots of fine wine.

It was a row of murderous iron guards.

"The general has an order, no one is allowed to enter the barracks without authorization, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

The iron-clothed guard's cold words seemed to contain no trace of emotion. Under the obstruction of the iron-clothed guard, the defeated troops who arrived at the camp first were blocked in front of the camp.

Xiang Yan has commanded the army for a long time and has a high reputation.His order still has a certain deterrent effect on these Chu troops.

However, as time passed, more and more Chu troops arrived, and the scene gradually got out of control.

"I want to see the General! Why don't you let us in?"

"What are you? You were born when I was fighting on the battlefield!"

……

In this way, many people began to try to forcibly break through the barriers and enter the camp, but with a flash of cold light, these people fell under the iron sword of the black guard.

Before the camp, there was a moment of silence. Compared with the noise in the distance, almost everyone stared at the Chu soldiers who died at their own hands, speechless.

Just a few days ago, at the front line of Pingyu, I and others were still getting along with these black-clothed guards day and night, and some of them had formed a deep comrade-in-arms relationship with each other during this year.

Originally, I just thought that these black-clothed guards were just threatening words, but I never thought that they would really raise their butcher knives against their own people.

"The general has an order, those who trespass into the barracks will be beheaded!" Although some guards in black trembled a little after wielding their knives to kill the defeated army who forcibly broke into the barracks, their words were still cold and hard.

This was an order given by General Xiang Yan. They were iron guards and also Xiang Yan's personal guards. Even if they couldn't bear Xiang Yan's order, they obeyed it to the letter.

Before the Chu army camped for a while, they fell into a stalemate again.

However, as the Qin army approached, the shouts of killing and the wailing before death were getting closer and closer, as if they were ringing in the ear.

A total of more than 20 Chu troops began to pour pressure on Xiang Yan's camp.

"What kind of a person is Xiang Yan? How dare he block the lonely road? If you don't let me believe it or not, I will play King Ming and kill you and the whole family!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in beautiful clothes came forward angrily, opened his mouth and cursed at the black-clothed guard.

"Young Master Qing is here, we are saved, even if Xiang Yan comes in person, I'm afraid I won't dare to stop him!" An officer among the defeated army recognized the identity of this person.

As soon as everyone heard this, their hopes were ignited. This son Qing was not comparable to ordinary nobles, but the youngest son of King Chu Kaolie. He was the younger brother of the current King of Chu, and he was loved by the current King of Chu.

The black-clothed guard who was in charge of stopping him obviously heard everyone's discussion. If it was true that Young Master Qing had moved him, not only would he be involved, but he might also implicate General Xiang Yan.

There was also some hesitation for a while.

Seeing that the guard in black didn't dare to stop him, Young Master Qing also had a look of arrogance. It was nothing more than being chased by Qin Jun these two days like a bereaved dog, and he would continue to shrink back when he was on his own territory.

Wishing to pour out all the grievances he had suffered in the past two days, he stepped forward and kicked the black-clothed guard in front of him fiercely.

"Da Chu Erlang, follow me into the camp." Immediately afterwards, Young Master Qing shouted victory to the Chu army behind him.

Young Master Qingqiang broke into the camp and immediately tore a hole in the originally solid defense line.

The defeated Chu army followed in the footsteps of Young Master Qing and poured into the camp through the entrance.

However, although the entrance has not been closed at this moment, it is more than ten meters wide, and there are more than 20 Chu troops blocking the outside of the camp.

This narrow gap, like the center of an hourglass, became the only lifeline for the 20 Chu troops outside the camp.

If you rush in, you may survive.

Now that this has been started, under the threat of the Qin army wielding Mao Ge, the Chu army will be defeated at this moment, so there is nothing else to care about.

More than 20 Chu troops suddenly fell into a madness. Anyway, escape into the camp first. Since the entrance cannot be entered, then I can climb over the camp wall. If the horse blocks the road, then move away. Multi-section camp Under the impact of the defeat of the Chu army, the wall was even torn down by his own life.

Facing the somewhat crazy rout, no military orders would be effective at this time. Whoever dares to block their way of escape is their enemy.
