Chapter 490

Don’t you know that in a real decisive battle, the number of troops does play a certain role, but it is by no means the biggest.

Throughout the ages, there have been too many examples of battles in which a small number defeated a large number.

This battle lasted for more than three hours.

From the morning, we continued until the sun turned west.

At the place of the confrontation, there were already mountains of corpses and rivers of blood!

Liang Jun was pushed back more than a hundred steps.

You know, these more than a hundred steps were all stepped on dead people!

The situation has collapsed, and it may be difficult to reverse the situation.

Cai Yan was located next to King Liang and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, our army has suffered serious losses. The soldiers have been disrupted and it is difficult to gather the formation. If we continue to fight, we may be in danger!"

The Liang army is not weak in combat power, but its formation is prone to chaos. This is related to their military discipline. Xiao Yuan studied carefully and naturally had something to target.

Only by using one's own strengths and attacking their weaknesses can we win the key.

King Liang had a gloomy face and said nothing. He didn't know the current situation. It was just that the army of 500,000 people had been defeated. The defeat was unacceptable to him, so he was unable to issue an order to retreat for a long time.

Seeing this, Cai Yan continued: "Your Majesty! If we don't retreat, the casualties will be even worse! Although we have failed in the decisive battle, as long as our army still has the strength to preserve its strength, we have hope of victory..."

After hearing this, King Liang finally took a deep breath, and then said in a cold voice: "Send the order to Xue Wu, cover the front and rear, use crossbows to shoot at the opponent's positions, and the whole army will retreat."

"Yes!" Cai Yan replied quickly.

The order was passed to Xue Wu. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Xue Wu of course had already seen the situation clearly, so he immediately began to command without saying a word.

Not long after, the sound of gold sounded from behind.

The Liang troops in the front row began to retreat quickly like a tide, and the whole scene looked like an ebbing tide.

Many people were still fighting the Qin army, but after swinging their swords, they turned around and ran away regardless of whether they were hit or not.

But how could the Qin army follow?

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes widened even more fiercely, and the Prince Qin sword in his hand could not help but point forward:

"The Liang army was defeated——"

"The Liang army was defeated——"

"Kill! Kill -"

He shouted at the top of his lungs and was extremely excited.

Because this battle is about him unifying the north!

After shouting, he quickly got off the chariot, got on his horse, and rushed out with the King of Qin Sword in hand.

"Your Majesty——"

When Xu Hu, Shangguan Wenruo and others around him saw this, they were shocked and followed closely.

The Liang army was defeated and began to flee, covering thousands of miles.

The morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted and they pursued them relentlessly.

"Kill--"

The entire battlefield was filled with shouts.

After a great battle, many officers and soldiers of the Qin army had already become red-eyed.

The more times like this come, the more ferocious the pursuers become.

Under intense pursuit, the Liang army had no choice but to abandon their helmets and armor. They also ran away and threw away their heavier weapons and flags.

The war horses trampled the flags on the ground, and King Liang began to panic.

The large army ran all the way, and when they reached the mouth of a valley, Xue Wu began to give instructions loudly:

"Sun Yao! Escort the king away first!"

"The whole army retreats lightly!"

"Tang Yue brings people to the rear!"

"No!" The latter was already covered in blood. After cupping his fists, he raised his spear, turned his horse's head, and faced the direction of the pursuers.

The large troops quickly withdrew into the valley.

A moment later, Xiao Yuan arrived on his war horse and led a large number of cavalry.

"Uu——"

As soon as the reins were tightened, the cavalry behind him stopped one after another.

Xiao Yuan first looked around at the surrounding terrain, and then looked at Tang Yue at the mouth of the valley, his thoughts changing.

Is the opponent's general here creating an opportunity for Xue Wu's ambush in the valley?

Are you ready for the Liang army's ambush?

In such a battle, one's side has already won a great victory. As the saying goes, don't pursue the enemy when you are poor. If you risk advancing again, if you are ambushed, you may lose more than you gain.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan's eyes became dark.

He looked at Tang Yue and said loudly to test:

"Tang Yue! With just you, you still want to stop my king's army of hundreds of thousands!?"

"Xiao Thief! There is an ambush behind you, do you believe it?" Tang Yue shouted.

But the more he said this, the more suspicious Xiao Yuan became. He stared at him coldly and said nothing for a long time.

When Xu Hu saw this, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty! The last general is asking for your orders! I will kill Tang Yue's head!"

Xiao Yuan glanced at him, and after thinking about it, he finally said: "Forget it."

He is also a human being, not a god. He doesn't know whether there are ambushes in the valley, but he cannot take this risk.

Shangguan Wenruo agreed: "The king's worries are right. Our army has won a great victory. In addition, Xu Rong's troops have successfully attacked the Liang army's camp. Next, the Liang army can only be forced to withdraw from the Pingjin defense line.

When we return to the city behind, we no longer need to pursue them."

"Forget it, let's give the order to withdraw the troops." Xiao Yuan nodded, and after saying that, he turned his horse around and left without stopping.

When Tang Yue saw this, he couldn't help but sneered: "Xiao thief! Rat!"

He repeatedly scolded Xiao Thief, but Xiao Yuan didn't think anything of it. However, when Xu Hu heard this, he became furious. He was about to pull the reins and turn around, but he immediately stopped, pointed at Tang Yue and said:

"Babyface! Don't be too arrogant!"

In Tang Yue's life, what he hated most was when people called him a pretty boy. When he heard this, his face instantly turned red, and his anger rushed straight to his forehead. He raised the spear in his hand and shouted sternly:

"Xu Hupifu! He can only use his words! Do you dare to duel with me?"

"You're looking for death!" Xu Hu tightened his grip on the long knife and was about to ride his horse forward, but Xiao Yuan stopped him: "Okay, there's no need to fight with him."

That's because he understands that these two are both brave generals. If they really fight, they don't know how long they will fight! There will definitely be no winner in a short time, and fighting here is meaningless.

"This, Your Majesty! Look at this pretty boy!" Xu Hu was a little anxious.

Xiao Yuan smiled: "It doesn't matter, let him scold you, it will be a piece of meat, let's go."

After saying that, he reached out and patted Xu Hu's shoulder, and left here first, and the cavalry group also turned around.

Xu Hu did not dare to disobey King Xiao Yuan's order, but before leaving, he still snorted fiercely at Tang Yue.

Both sides withdrew their troops and the war ended.

In this battle, the Liang army was defeated miserably, and the route of defeat stretched for dozens of miles.

Not only were the troops severely damaged, but the food, grass and weapons were also destroyed.

After temporarily returning to the Pingjin defense line, King Liang looked embarrassed because of his escape. After calming down for a while, he asked:

"Has the post-war damage statistics of our army been calculated?"

"Go back to your Majesty, we are checking." Xue Wu returned.

King Liang closed his eyes, then looked at the generals with blood-stained faces on both sides, and said sadly:
Chapter completed!
