If you can't escape... If you escape, you will die!

Chu general Shen Kang secretly reminded himself.︾

You know, they rushed here from the Yanshui River. In terms of physical strength, can they escape these groups of Wei's ambush?

Thinking of this, he raised his arms and shouted: "Range the array, welcome the enemy! Don't escape! Don't escape!"

However, his words were useless at this moment.

It’s not that the Chu soldiers under his command are too powerful in their ability to harvest Chu soldiers by chariots.

You should know that crossbow soldiers are different from archers. They will not consume their physical strength because they pull the bow, because they just repeat the process of loading crossbow arrows and pulling the trigger, and even the step of aiming can be omitted. After all, the Chu soldiers in front of them are densely packed with their eyes closed, and they will not be able to miss it.

Since the carriage of these crossbow soldiers was about ten feet high, even the long spears in the hands of the Chu soldiers could not reach them at all.

The only thing that could threaten them was the Chu army's crossbow. Unfortunately, there were three shield soldiers on the chariots, one protector and two crossbow soldiers protecting the carriage above. This arrangement made the Chu soldiers almost unable to pose any threat to the Wei soldiers on the chariots.

The only weakness of this kind of chariot is its maneuver power. Because the chariot and the carrying personnel on the chariot are too heavy, even if the four horses pulling the chariot pull the chariot with all their strength, the speed of the chariot is not as fast as a light infantry running.

However, the role of this kind of chariot that sacrifices speed in striking the enemy's defense line is absolutely unparalleled.

Look, in the face of such a battlefield killing weapon, the soldiers of Chu had no fighting spirit and fled backwards.

The short valley seemed to have become a place for the soldiers of Chu army. A large number of Chu soldiers could not counterattack at all. They were shot and killed by sharp swords, and corpses everywhere and blood everywhere.

"Infantry clears the way!"

Bailiba gave the order in a deep voice.

So, the soldiers of Junshui Camp on both sides of the chariot quickly dispatched and quickly dragged away the enemy soldiers shot in front of the chariot to avoid piles up too high and blocking the chariot's way.

As for one or two corpses, the Wei chariot was directly run over with his one-person-high wheel, without even a short stay.

"Don't run away! Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! DO NOT run away!"

Chu general Shen Kang loudly ordered his soldiers and even raised his sword to kill several deserters. But even so, he could not reverse the fait accompli of the Chu soldiers' escape.

That's the case...

A trace of determination flashed in Shen Kang's eyes, and he led his personal guards to rush over first.

He hopes to destroy a terrifying chariot such as this and boost the fighting spirit of his soldiers.

Unfortunately, the spear in his hand hit the front side of the chariot hard, and it could only make the chariot shake slightly.

Very... so strong!

Shen Kang's heart was filled with horror.

At this time, the crossbowmen on the chariot obviously noticed the Chu army general, and without saying a word, shot a wave of crossbow arrows at him.

"Tu tuk--"

Shen Kang had already danced the spear in his hand as much as possible, but he still could not stop such powerful crossbow arrows at close range.

He heard a few sounds of ticks, and he immediately got hit by several arrows.

At close range, even the general-style armor worn by Shen Kang could not stop the powerful crossbow arrows.

After Shen Kang was dismissed from the horse, the Chu soldiers who had already followed the general to muster up the courage to fight back were also shot and killed by crossbowmen on the chariot.

When the other Chu soldiers saw it, they were so scared that they turned around and ran away.

It's simply a massacre...

He looked at the Chu army general who was caught off guard, and then at the corpses of the Chu army everywhere. Bailiba looked at the chariot that was looking down on him with a complicated expression.

He couldn't help but feel that the person who transformed this kind of chariot was the prince of their Great Wei, King Su Zhao Hongrun.

Otherwise, if such a terrifying chariot fell into the hands of other countries, then the ones who were brutally massacred would probably be their infantrymen of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Shaking his head and throwing this unrealistic idea away, Bailiba ordered in a deep voice: "Chasing! Don't let a Chu army escape from Yanshui!"

“Oh oh oh oh oh !!”

The terrifying power of the chariot greatly helped the soldiers of the Junshui Camp, who were already very morale.

"Caval! Attack!"

With Bailiba's order, the cavalry team, which was still raising their strength, officially launched an attack.

Junshui Camp has a cavalry team. A whole battalion of 5,000 cavalrymen accounted for almost 30% of the entire Wei cavalry team.

Originally, the cavalry had always been the important task of rushing to the enemy's defense line. This time, because there were chariots that were better at rushing to the defense line, the cavalry team of Junshui Camp could only be reduced to being beaten into a water dog and chasing the fleeing Chu army.

However, not all five thousand cavalrymen went to chase the Chu infantrymen. Nearly a thousand cavalrymen stayed. They took out the rope with iron hooks from the bag on the horse's back, tied the rope to the saddle, and then hooked the rings on both sides of the front section of the chariot with the iron hook, dragged the chariot to speed up.

The four horses of four horses and four cavalrymen, the disguised eight horses led to the advancement speed of the chariot being much faster than before.

The fleeing Chu soldiers, who had run from Yanshui to Yanling Hill, had only a few physical strength left to support them before escaping. They could only be shot and killed in a short time while struggling to escape, or killed by the remaining 4,000 cavalrymen in Junshui Camp.

"Let's follow along!"

A general from Junshui Camp shouted.

So, nearly 20,000 infantrymen from Junshui Camp left a battalion of 5,000 people to follow the chariots, while the remaining 15,000 Wei soldiers left the slower chariots and followed the cavalry team to kill the defeated Chu soldiers.

The Chu army on the front line was defeated because of fear of chariots, but the Chu army on the back had no idea what had happened before. They just blindly followed the large army and fled together. When this phenomenon was called the mainstream of the Chu army, even those Chu generals could not reverse the situation even if they stopped desperately.

Defeated like a mountain!

Near the hills of Yanling, Zhao Hongrun, Wu Wei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang also rode their horses to slowly leave the valley and look at the battle on the distant plains along the counterattack route of Junshui Camp.

In other words, it was the unilateral massacre of the Chu soldiers by the Wei soldiers in Junshui Camp.

Looking at the bodies of Chu soldiers everywhere, Wu Wei Wang Shu scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "This is simply... the most inexplicable battle I have ever seen..."

It wasn't that strange. As many as 20,000 or 30,000 Chu soldiers were chasing them, chasing them all the way from Yanshui to Yanling Hill, one fleeing and the other chasing them. Both armies were exhausted. At this time, Junshui Camp suddenly jumped out and waited for their hard work, killing the Chu army in a piece of armor.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wang Shu and said with a smile: "The military strategy says: Those who are interested in the generals for a hundred miles and are interested in the vigilance fall down, while those who are interested in the vigilance are half over... Yanshui occupied the hills of Yanling. Although it is only fifteen or sixteen miles, the Chu army is eager to chase after them. Once they are ambushed, they will still retreat on their entire line. How can they be inexplicably?"

"I'm talking about us..." Wang Shu scratched his head and said with a strange expression: "Always feel that we did nothing except running from Yanshui to this Yanling Hill..."

Wu Wei Ma Zhang glanced at the Yanling Wei soldiers with inexplicable expressions not far behind, and also smiled strangely and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Mr. Jiang Run, no, you should be called Your Highness Su now... Do you plan to use us as a seduction enemy from the beginning?"

"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Ma Zhang with a smile.

"Your Highness, don't make a quibble." Ma Zhang said seriously: "The last general finally understood why His Highness Su did not pay any attention to the morale of our Yanling army after he arrived in Yanling... So that's it. From the beginning, you planned to lure the enemy with our army, lure the 60,000 vanguards of the Chu army to this place, and ask the friendly troops of Junshui Camp to wait for their work... As if you think about it this way, you have long expected that the so-called gambling battle of Xiong Hu, the king of Chu Pingyu, was just a trick, and it just made a plan to defeat our Yanling army..."

"Is this true?"

"You still have to cheat now?... Your sect guards fled in your name, which should be to help the Chu army attack the north bank of Yanshui at all costs. I believe that you asked Lord Pei Zhan to burn the Yanling city in advance, otherwise Lord Pei Zhan would definitely not have the courage... You deliberately asked the Chu army to see the people of Yanling evacuate from Anling in the rear, and tempted them to march and chase again, trying to catch up with our army and the more than 100,000 Yanling people, using us as a threat to take Anling... The Chu army was greedy, so they were hit by Your Highness's plan and were ambushed by Junshui Camp..."

Seeing Ma Zhang's expression that I had seen through, Zhao Hongrun felt funny and joked: "Are you blaming me?"

"I dare not..." Ma Zhang hugged his fists quickly, and then smiled bitterly, "I hope that next time, Your Highness, you can reveal a little, so that you won't call us... like a fool. Your Highness has a clever plan, but because we don't know, we are still jumping up and down in front of the palace like a fool... Now when we think about it, it's really embarrassing."

"Ha, I told you, will you believe it?" Zhao Hongrun shook his head: "You don't trust me from the beginning, so don't blame me for using you as bait... I, I am very revenge!"

"..." Wang Shu and Ma Zhang looked at each other and smiled bitterly. After all, they have cursed His Highness Su during this period.

"Let's go, let's go back the same way... and ask the soldiers behind to follow."

When Wang Shu and Ma Zhang heard this, they felt a little excited and said, "Does Your Highness want us to cooperate with Junshui Camp to kill the enemy?"

Zhao Hongrun turned around and glanced at Wang Shu, Ma Zhang and others, and shook his head.

"No, I just want to see if General Baili can defeat these 60,000 Chu army vanguards in one fell swoop. As for you... when you return the same route, pick up your weapons and equipment first? By the way, pick up the Chu army's weapons and equipment as well."

Clean the battlefield...

Wang Shu and Ma Zhang looked at each other, drooped their heads and shook their heads with a wry smile.

Suddenly, Wang Shu seemed to have thought of something and said anxiously: "Your Highness, are you planning to wipe out these 60,000 Chu troops in one fell swoop?"

"Oh? Are you awake?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Wang Shu angrily.

Wang Shu was teased by Zhao Hongrun and his hands were red, and he waved his hands repeatedly and explained: "Your Highness, the general of Mo was not the case. The general of Mo just suddenly thought that it was really good to chase the Chu army like Junshui Camp? If there was no army that quickly seized the floating bridge near Yanshui, even if the Chu army was defeated, it would still be able to escape from Yanshui..."

"Yes." Zhao Hongrun interrupted: "At the upper reaches of Yanshui, isn't our army still an army!"

Upstream... Chen Shi?!

Wang Shu and Ma Zhang took a deep breath of cold air.

Good... What a powerful military use... In this way, maybe, maybe I can really wipe out these 60,000 Chu army vanguards in one fell swoop!
