Chapter 1469: The Han Banner World (One Hundred and Fifty-Nine) Battle in the Snow (Continued)

Wang Changyong's liver and gallbladder are now splitting. Wang Zhijun's attack on Yaoqu has made great progress and has entered the city. Although it paid a heavy price, it has forced the enemy on the opposite side to retreat to the inner city for the final resistance, but Yue Peng wasted no time. The few tongues he managed to catch made Wang Changyong almost collapse.

These people are not the reserves of the Han army, but the troops from the new Qin king. The information obtained from these prisoners made Wang Changyong suddenly feel that the end was coming.

Since Wang Jian's troops were blocking the front, where were He Lanxiong and Zhao Xilie's original troops? What are they doing? Needless to say?

"Retreat, notify Wang Zhijun, and retreat immediately. We have been tricked by the Han people. This is a trap, a trap!" Wang Changyong shouted angrily: "Send someone back to Xianyang immediately and inform General Lu, inform Shannan County to prepare for defense. "What flashed in front of Wang Changyong's eyes was the great defeat in the grassland. What he thought of was Li Xin's corpse in the grassland. Wang Xiao, will he be the next one?

Wang Zhijun stood on the tower of Yaoqu, facing the wind and snow. His cloak was fluttering in the strong wind. The flag of the Qin army that had just been planted on the top of the city was flapping in the wind. The Qin army had fully occupied the city wall. The Han Dynasty The army withdrew into the city but did not leave the city. It seemed that they were preparing for street fighting, but Wang Zhijun had no such intention. The soldiers are setting up a throwing machine on top of the city. He will use explosives to blow the city into ruins. No matter where you are hiding, he will bomb them all for you.

On top of the city, the Han army's artillery was still there, but he had no use for it, because when the Han army left, although they did not destroy the artillery, they took away the most important part of the artillery, and immediately let it go. These artillery pieces were reduced to scrap metal.

"Speed ​​up, install the throwing machine, and blow up Yaoqu to the ground." Wang Zhijun said happily, waving his sword. The soldiers of the Han army are indeed brave. But the reserve force is the reserve force. It is very different from the regular army in terms of organization and experience.

In the city, Zhao Youguo, Qian Mingyi, and Zhou Hao gathered together. The three of them had frustrated faces. They were all instructors at Jishi City Military University. They were all very powerful in terms of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. But no matter how rich the experience is. In the end, it was up to the soldiers below to realize it. The reaction of these reserve officers and soldiers was not enough to realize their tactical ideas. One step at a time, they failed step by step. They were finally defeated before the Qin army attacked Mingming regardless of the cost or casualties.

"No, we have to counterattack. The opponent's intention is obvious. Look at the throwing machines being set up on top of the city. If we retreat inside the city, they will blow it into ruins. Then we will have to hide. The land has turned into rubbish. Even if you die, you will have to die in a fight." Zhou Hao picked up the knife and walked straight out.

"Old Zhao, don't live today. See you in the next life!" Qian Minyi laughed, also picked up the iron gun standing on the side, and tightened the silk ribbon. Follow Zhou Hao and walk out.

Zhao Youguo spread his hands.

"There is nothing we can do. Let's take the remaining troops and launch a final fierce attack on the enemy. Kill one and you will be enough. Kill two and you will earn one. If you can stop them here for an hour, it will be an hour. Brothers ,let's go!"

The three of them walked out of the house where they were hiding and began to organize their surviving subordinates to prepare for the last counterattack.

On the top of the city tower, Wang Zhijun, who was condescending, could clearly see that in the alleyways in the city, shadowy enemies were gathering. Do you want to fly geese to fight the fire? Then let you die with conviction.

Groups of Qin troops were ready to attack, and on the city, the throwing machine was already completing its final test.

"General, General Wang!" A Qin army covered in stains rolled and crawled to the top of the city tower. "The general gave an urgent order to retreat."

"What did you say?" Wang Zhijun was stunned and stared at the messenger from the Chinese army, "What did the general want us to do?"

"Retreat, the whole army retreats. The general has figured out that the one standing in front of us is Wang Jian. It is Wang Jian's main force. He has colluded with the Han people. Now He Lanxiong has led the Han army to intercept our rear. If there is a mistake in the command of the Gouxin Division responsible for smooth roads in the rear, our entire army will be doomed. "

Although it was extremely cold weather, when Wang Zhijun heard these words, a layer of fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his body. The road back is cut off, there is no distance between food and grass, there are tigers in front and wolves behind. In the ice and snow, the Qin army has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. I am afraid that Wang Xiao will be even worse than Li Xin back then. They were not in this season at that time.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat now." He waved his arms and roared loudly. The defeated Han troops in front no longer had the slightest attraction to him.

When the three Zhao Youguo and the remaining Han army reserve soldiers rushed out of their hiding place with the confidence of death and shouting, what caught their eyes was the Qin army receding like a tide. They were walking like that In such a hurry, they didn't even dismantle the throwing machine set up on the city pair.

"Commander He must have launched an attack. They knew their retreat was cut off." Zhao Youguo climbed up the tower, looked at the Qin army retreating away, and excitedly pounded the Chanfeng city wall, "We are going to win, hahaha! "

On top of the city tower, the Han troops burst into cheers. Unfortunately, their strength and ability were not enough for them to launch a counterattack to pursue the retreating Qin army.

However, Zhao Youguo did not care. The Qin army ran away, but that was only temporary. Commander Helan Xiong led tens of thousands of Han troops to go around behind the Qin army. They could run past the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth day. They would eventually be destroyed on this land.

It was inevitable that the Qin army would suffer a second defeat on this prairie.

In the wind and snow, Gou Xin rushed left and right with all his strength, but in the heavy snow, it seemed that there were Han soldiers everywhere. After killing through one layer, another layer would soon appear in front of him. The Han army moved quickly on the snow, and was not trapped by the snow that was too deep to the knees. On the contrary, they had to struggle in the thick snow. The weight of the war horses and people was added together. Every step they took, the four hooves of the war horses would sink deeply into the snow. Many Qin soldiers had jumped off their war horses, using the war horses as a cover, and struggling to support themselves in the wind and snow.

There were fewer and fewer followers around him. As long as there was a slight gap between the Qin army's teams, the Han army would rush in at high speed to cut them off, and then divide them into small sections and annihilate them.

The Qin army completely lost its command. In the heavy snow, they could only fight on their own, and the Han army seemed to have no command, but their fast speed and more troops easily gained the upper hand in this chaotic battle, suppressing the Qin army everywhere.

The Qin army couldn't even break out. All 30,000 soldiers under Helan Xiong were dispatched, surrounding the 5,000 cavalry of the Qin army in the middle, interspersed, divided, and then eaten them one bite at a time.

After swinging the sword countless times, his arms were numb, and the blood and sweat on his body mixed together and condensed into ice, making it more and more difficult for people to move. His heart was like a fire, but his exposed skin had no feeling at all. Gou Xin leaned on the warhorse behind him, leaning on the sword with his hand, and breathing heavily. The wind gradually stopped, the snow gradually dispersed, and the vision became clearer bit by bit. However, Gou Xin wished that the fog was thicker, because the clear vision allowed him to see clearly what kind of desperate situation he was facing.

He could hardly see the Qin army's cavalry in sight. The mountains and plains were full of Han soldiers. They were like ghosts, shuttling back and forth quickly. The Qin soldiers trapped in the snow could not advance or retreat. Under the pressure of the superior enemy, they had no room for resistance.

He tried to stand up with a knife, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not stand up. He lowered his head and saw that he had been cut on his thigh at some point. The blood had frozen into ice. The whole thigh had long lost consciousness. He struggled a few times, but it was useless. Gou Xin smiled miserably. He was going to be finished, and the whole army was going to be finished. The food supply was cut off, and the logistics were cut off. In such weather, the army could not hold on for long.

They will repeat the failure of Li Xin and Wang Xiao several years ago, but this time, they are even more miserable. Back then, Li Xin and Wang Xiao almost succeeded by nodding.

In the distance, the last Qin flag was taken away by a Han soldier. Looking at the Han soldier waving the battle flag he had seized and running on the snow with laughter, Gou Xin raised his knife with difficulty and put it on his neck.

"Second brother, I'll go first. Big brother, I'm coming to find you!" He shouted hoarsely, and suddenly pulled the big knife, blood spurted out, fell to the ground, a light smoke rose, and turned into blood ice in a blink of an eye.

In the Gou family, Gou Ren died on the battlefield in his early years, Gou Yi's life and death are unknown now, and now another person fell on the battlefield.

Most of the 5,000 Qin soldiers and Qin cavalry died in battle, some were injured, and only a few lucky ones became prisoners. In such weather, whether the injured can survive depends on their luck. Seeing such a tragic situation, Tian Lei, who was brought by the Han army to identify the senior officers of the Qin State, burst into tears. After all, these were his comrades-in-arms. Not long ago, they were still alive and well together, but now they have all turned into cold corpses.

Gou Yi was found quickly, and the bodies of the Qin army officers were placed together. Wang Changyong's troops were all Lu Chao's direct troops, and they were brave and good at fighting. This was also the reason why they suffered such heavy casualties. There were only a few hundred captured soldiers, which was very rare in such a war. Even Helan Xiong had to admit that the other side was an army with very strong willpower.

However, the other side did not have the right time, place, and people. No matter how strong their willpower was, it would only add a few more wronged souls.

Now, he was going to deal with Wang Changyong's army. The bravery of Gou Yi's troops made Helan Xiong more vigilant. Or, it would be a better choice to block the opponent first, starve them for a while, and then annihilate them. (To be continued.)
