Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 309 Chu Army Enters the Pass (11)

Zhao Li also noticed these problems in the army, so he wanted to make friends with the generals in the army as soon as possible.When Lei Shu was praising Liu Mo, Zhao Li realized that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly made a promise to him.

"In that case, I will thank General Zhao on Liu Mo's behalf!" Lei Shu immediately expressed his kindness to Zhao Li after hearing this.

"It doesn't have to be like this! We are all brothers in the army, so we should help each other!" Zhao Li could naturally hear the kindness from Lei Shu's words, so he immediately waved his hands.

"It seems that General Zhao is also a good man!" Hearing what Zhao Li said, Lei Shu also praised him.

Seeing Lei Shu start to plan for the future of his subordinates, A Xiao secretly shook his head.Then he clasped his hands and said, "The latter general! Now that the Qin camp has been captured, have you sent troops to Taibai to rescue General Ma Xiu?"

"En!" Lei Shu nodded, and then said: "General Ah leads 2 people to Taibai, if the Qin army has already withdrawn, then ignore him! If the Qin army has not withdrawn, attack from behind, be sure to be caught off guard Let the Qin army be in chaos!"

"I don't know if the cavalry can be handed over to the last general?" A Xiao heard that he hadn't surrendered his hand to listen to the order, but asked for instructions first.

"General Ah, you can find Liu Mo yourself and ask him to temporarily hand over the command of five thousand cavalry!" Lei Shu knew that cavalry must be used to charge the battle, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, General!" After A Xiao bowed his hands to thank him, he sent his own soldiers to look for Liu Mo.

With the selected [-] infantry and the only [-] cavalry in several counties, A Xiao hurriedly marched towards Taibai.

When it was about to approach Taibaiyi, a sentry cavalry reported back that they found a large formation of the Qin army in front of them.

A Xiao hurriedly ordered the cavalry to charge forward, followed closely behind him with fifteen thousand infantry.

The battle on the city of Taibai reached a stalemate, with the Qin army and Ma Xiu's Qiang soldiers constantly fighting for every inch of land on the city wall.Yan Le under the city saw that his side had taken down a city wall, so he ordered Yan Jiu's troops to continue to attack, and the 1 troops under Captain Yan Jiu's command had already reached more than 6000 people in the siege battle.

Seeing that the messenger sent another order to attack the city, Yan Jiu pulled out his sword and said to the three thousand soldiers behind him, "Brothers, the road ahead is Taibai City, which has blocked our Great Qin warriors for many days. The Taiwei has an order, if you take it today Go down to Taibai, but don't seal the saber for three days! Everyone will kill you!"

"Kill!" More than 3000 soldiers mobilized by Yan Jiu followed their leader Yan Jiu to kill Taibai.

Seeing Yan Jiu leading troops to attack the city from afar, Yan Le was a little displeased and said, "Why did Yan Jiu go up by himself? Don't you know he is the chief general of the first army now?"

Xu Shun, who was at the side, shook his head secretly when he heard the words, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Taiwei! General Yan Jiu is leading the last batch of soldiers under his command! If you don't lead the soldiers first, the army's morale may be shaken!"

"Oh!" Hearing Xu Shun's words, Yan Le was a little stunned, and said again: "No wonder I was able to compete with the Qiang people for the city wall today. It turns out that the whole army is overwhelmed!"

Then he gave an order: "Order Yang Jie to lead his troops, when Yan Jiu loses the enemy, the whole army will press up! This Marquis is going to take this Taibai City today!"

"Here!" The messenger immediately began to shake the flagpole after hearing the order.

Yang Jie of the right army saw the order, and immediately ordered: "All ministries are ready to attack the city!"

At this moment, an army with unknown costumes came from behind the Qin army's formation.

Yan Le, Xu Shun and others all heard the shouts of killing behind them, looked behind them one after another, and sent troops to investigate.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Shu army who broke away from the rear of the Qin army rushed to the central army.

Seeing this, Xu Shun immediately yelled: "Hurry up and protect Mr. Taiwei!"

The [-] cavalry of the Chinese army immediately protected Yan Le, and then saw Xu Shun leading the [-] soldiers under his command to attack the Shu army.

Seeing that someone dared to stop him, A Xiao ordered the two thousand crossbowmen gathered around him to shoot a volley.

Soon, many of the cavalry of the Qin Army who were preparing to fight with the cavalry of the Shu Army were shot to death by sudden bows and arrows.

The chaos in the rear soon affected the left and right formations. Yan Le originally thought of mobilizing sergeants from the left and right formations to encircle and suppress this army of unknown origin.But I never thought that after the left and right formations were affected, they began to collapse.

Seeing that the two formations on the left and right began to collapse, Yan Le was a little scared.He immediately ordered: "Retreat! Retreat!"

Yan Le was escorted by two thousand cavalrymen and began to retreat to the north. Ma Xiu, who was in the city, saw the chaos of the Qin army. Yan Le's banner started to break away from the formation and shouted: "The Qin army has been defeated! Brothers, don't be afraid." Let the Qin people in the city go!"

As he said, he chopped off the head of the formerly very brave soldier of the Qin army with a single knife.

The Qin army in the city saw that his general's banner was far away from the formation, and the formation was very chaotic and had no fighting spirit.Some sergeants and officers began to withdraw from the tower while confronting the enemy.

Seeing that Yan Le had escaped, Yang Jie led his soldiers and fled with Yan Le.

Although Xu Shun was not afraid of death, the captain under his command saw that Yan Le had fled, so he suggested to Xu Shun: "General! The Taiwei has escaped, we should retreat first! Leave the green hills behind. , don’t worry about running out of firewood!!!”

After killing a Shu army cavalry, Xu Shun said aggrievedly, "Withdraw!!!"

When Xu Shun withdrew from the battlefield, only 800 of the [-] cavalry under his command remained, and the rest either fled or died in battle.

The Shu army was victorious, A Xiao ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and led [-] cavalry to the front of Taibai City.

"I am A Xiao, a general under the tent of the King of Shu, and I am here to rescue General Ma Xiu at the order of the King of Shu! Please report to General Ma Xiu immediately!" A Xiao looked up at an officer on the tower and shouted.

"I am Ma Xiu! Who is the king of Shu that the general is talking about?" Ma Xiu was very puzzled when he heard A Xiao's words. He first revealed his identity and then asked.

"The king of my family is General Zhao Kangzhao, the former head of Hangu Pass in the Qin State! Knowing that Prime Minister Zhao was murdered by a traitor, he raised troops in a rage to avenge his uncle! In Sichuan, Shu, and Hanzhong At the request of the soldiers and civilians of the three counties, General Zhao became king in Nanzheng and ordered the people of the three counties to rebel against Qin!" A Xiaodang even explained, somewhat beautifying Zhao Kang in his words.

"I see!" Matthew nodded upon hearing this, and he finally figured out who this army belonged to.Then he said loudly: "General, wait a moment, I will open the door to welcome you immediately!"

The gate of Taibai City was opened, and Ma Xiu led several generals under his command and dozens of cavalry out of the city to meet A Xiao in person.

After the two greeted each other, Matthew took A Xiao's hand and said, "The general came too timely! If the general came a moment later, I'm afraid we won't be able to see XX!"

Then, Matthew and the generals behind him all bowed and said, "We thank the general on behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city!"

"General Ma, please get up quickly! I'm only here at the order of General Lei Shu, so I don't deserve this gift!" A Xiao hurriedly avoided the crowd to salute, and then helped Ma Xiu and said very modestly.
