Chapter 503 The Qin Army Retreats
Chapter 5 and Four: The Qin Army Retreats
In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on March 21st, Wudangwei arrived in time when the Jianshan defense line was about to fall. With the addition of [-] fresh troops, the defense line that was crumbling a moment ago was instantly stabilized.

It is said that after Deng Zhong set off from Chengdu, he went all the way north, and finally arrived at Jianshan in four days. Originally, no guards could have arrived within three days, but Deng Zhong wanted to avoid the adverse effects of the long-term rapid march. , so I slowed down a little, but it was this slow speed that caused the Jianshan defense line to be almost broken by the Qin army. When Deng Zhong led his troops to the foot of Jianshan, the front line was already showing signs of collapse. After Deng Zhong learned about it, he led his troops to arrive at the fastest speed, which stopped the decline, but this also made Deng Zhong break out in a cold sweat.

"General Li, brothers of Tianwuwei, don't panic, I, Deng Zhong, and Wudangwei are here!" Seeing that the Qin army was about to attack, Wudangwei went straight up to withstand the Qin army's offensive, allowing Tianwuwei to have some strength. Gaining a chance to breathe, Li Jing quickly withdrew the remaining soldiers and horses of Tianwuwei to rest.

"General Li, I'm late, please forgive me!" Deng Zhong expressed his apology to Li Jing the first time he saw Li Jing. After all, it was because he marched too slowly, which caused the crisis of Tianwuwei and Jianshan. Fortunately, he arrived in time Otherwise, Deng Zhong would die hard to atone for his crime.

"It's not too late. General Deng came just in time. The general and Wudangwei saved Tianwuwei's life. I, Li Jing, am very grateful!" , expressing gratitude excitedly.

Seeing that Li Jing didn't blame him, Deng Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Jing, "General Li, the Tianwu Guards fought fiercely for many days and suffered heavy casualties. Please, General Li and the Tianwu Guards, retreat for now. We will leave this place to us." Don't be a guard, I promise General Li that I will never let a Qin army set foot on Jianshan Mountain."

"Okay, then I'll trouble General Deng!" Li Jing didn't show any pretense, and directly withdrew with Tianwuwei, handing over the position to Wudangwei.

This was a pain for the Qin army attacking the mountain. Seeing that the sword mountain was about to be breached, the newly joined unguarded guards gave them a blow to the head, and the suddenly boosted morale was wiped out.

Seeing this, Bai Qi at the foot of the mountain could only sigh helplessly. Wudangwei arrived in time, and Jianshan might be hopeless. There is no more gain, and tens of thousands of elites have been lost. It can be said that the loss outweighs the gain.

"Taiwei, the Deng army's reinforcements have arrived, and it is hopeless to attack Jianshan again, please make a decision!" Bai Chen said to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi closed his eyes, and said weakly in a low voice: "Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"

"Here!"

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" With the sound of golden bells, the Qin army began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner, and the Qin army returned without success again.

But the result was not just like this, after Bai Qi returned to the camp, another bad news came one after another.

When Bai Qi led the army into the camp, Xing Cong, who was in charge of guarding the camp, hurried to Bai Qi and whispered, "Taiwei, the two generals Huang Xing and Zhang Fu are back!"

Hearing Xing Cong's words, Bai Qi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked Xing Cong, "Where are they?"

Xing Cong replied: "After they came back, the last general placed them in the tent of the Chinese army, and told them not to wander around, so as not to be seen by the soldiers." Few people know that if people see Huang Xing and Zhang Fu who were supposed to go east, it is easy to make people think, so to be on the safe side, Xing Cong placed them in the big tent of the Chinese army and told them not to mess around. Walk.

Bai Qi was very satisfied with Xing Cong's handling, nodded, and said: "Go, go and meet them!" After finishing speaking, he walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

Walking into the big tent of the Chinese army, Bai Qi saw Huang Xing and Zhang Fu who were dressed in rags and were in a panic. They were devouring food.

When Huang Xing and Zhang Fu saw Bai Qi coming in, they quickly put down the food in their hands, bowed their hands to Bai Qi and said, "The general has seen the Taiwei!"

Bai Qi asked, "Why did you come back? Also, why did you come back, General Ma Sheng?"

Huang Xing and Zhang Fu looked at each other, and then Huang Xing said: "Back to the Taiwei, the last general and General Ma Sheng are ordered by the Taiwei to go eastward and wait for the opportunity to occupy Yufu City or Quren City. Our army will go all the way eastward." , in order not to be noticed by Deng Jun, under the guidance of the guide, marched along the trail, and finally arrived at Quren City after ten days, but unexpectedly Deng Jun had already entered Quren City, our army was caught off guard and was attacked by Deng Jun , the whole army was defeated, and General Ma Sheng took the initiative to stay to stop Deng's army in order to cover the retreat of the last general, and now I'm afraid it's more than auspicious."

"What!" When Bai Qi heard the bad news, he suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand still. Bai Chen who was beside him hurriedly supported Bai Qi, and asked with concern: "Taiwei, please mourn and take care of yourself!" Bai Chen thought Bai Qi Qi is saddened by Ma Sheng's death.

But Bai Chen must have thought too much. Although Ma Sheng's death made Bai Qi a little sad, but when Bai Qi sent out a partial teacher, he took the partial teacher as an abandoned son. Ma Sheng's death is a pity, but it made Bai Qi lose his composure. The real reason is that Ma Sheng's partial division failed to stop Deng's reinforcements.

Bai Qi collected himself, pushed Bai Chen away, fixed his eyes on Huang Xing and Zhang Fu, and asked, "Then where is Deng Jun now?"

Huang Xing replied: "According to Deng Jun's marching speed, I am afraid that we are not far from Jianshan now. When we retreat, General Ma Sheng asked the last general to tell the Taiwei that there is nothing to be done about Jianshan. Please lead the troops. Return to Jiameng Pass and wait for the right time!"

Bai Qi closed his eyes and sighed. At this moment, a scout broke in and said to Bai Qi: "Report to the Taiwei, Deng Jun was found fifty miles away, and the number is unknown!"

"Pfft!" Hearing the scout's report, Bai Qi spit out a mouthful of blood. Deng Jun's reinforcements finally arrived, and Qin Jun had no more chances.

Bai Chen quickly supported Bai Qi, and said anxiously: "Taiwei, Chang Yuchun's army has arrived, please retreat quickly and return to Jiameng Pass, otherwise once Deng's army joins forces, our army will retreat completely. Difficult!"

Bai Qi didn't give the order immediately, but pushed Bai Chen away and sat in the main seat. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's too late to retreat now, Chang Yuchun's army is less than fifty miles away from here, and it's coming in no time. It's all the fault of the Taiwei, who failed to find Deng Jun's trace in time, which led to the defeat of our army."

"Taiwei, now is not the time to talk about these things. Deng Jun will arrive soon. If you don't retreat, I'm afraid they will be defeated by Deng Jun. Once our army is defeated, Daqin will fall into an unprecedented crisis. Please take the overall situation into consideration. The most important thing!" Bai Chen said.

Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "It's impossible to get out of the whole body now, the only plan for now is to preserve most of our strength, we must send out a part of soldiers and horses to block Chang Yuchun's army, pray Delay for a while to give our army time to evacuate. At the same time, when Chang Yuchun arrives, he will definitely send someone to inform the Deng Jun in Jianshan. When he arrives, the Deng Jun in Jianshan will also attack, so we also need to send out a part of the army The horse blocked Deng Jun from Jianshan Mountain." After that, Bai Qi looked up at the generals, this is a mission of a narrow escape, once you go, you may not be able to come back, so Bai Qi doesn't want to force anyone, He just wants someone to step up.

But no one wants to die. All the generals of the Qin Army look at me and I look at you, but no one stood up. Just when Bai Qi thought that no one was willing to die for Qin, Huang Huang who came back from the east Xing and Zhang Fu stood up and said to Bai Qi: "Taiwei, we are willing to lead troops to stop Deng Jun!" Huang Xing and Zhang Fu knew that they were defeated in Quren City and deserted. Sheng covered their escape at his own expense, but they are still deserters, and they failed to attack Bashu, and they will not have good fruit when they return to Chang'an. When they serve the country with their own bodies, they will treat their families generously.

When Bai Qi saw Huang Xing and Zhang Fu standing up, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that no one would come out, so he said to Huang Xing and Zhang Fu: "Great! The feats of General Huang and Zhang Fu will never be forgotten by Qin people." I won't forget."

"It's an honor for me to be able to die for Daqin Xiao. Time is running out. Please let the Taiwei show me how to do it!" Huang Xing and Zhang Fu said.

Bai Qi said: "Since our army entered Shu, we have lost too many soldiers and horses. In order to preserve our strength, this Taiwei can not leave many soldiers and horses for the two generals. Chang Yuchun in the east has [-] troops. Great army, so this Taiwei will leave [-] soldiers and horses. As for Jianshan, this Taiwei will leave [-] soldiers and horses. As for who of you will go to Jianshan and who will go to the east, it is up to you to decide. Ben Taiwei The military order given to you is to block Deng Jun for three hours, and when the three hours are up, you can evacuate by yourself, if you can't evacuate, surrender, Daqin will not blame you."

As soon as Deng Jun's reinforcements arrive, Deng Jun's morale will be like a rainbow. It will be very difficult to stop with weak troops for three hours. If Huang Xing and Zhang Fu do it, the people of Qin will not blame them whether they retreat or surrender. of.

"Don't worry, Taiwei, the last general will fight to the end to buy time for the army." Since Huang Xing and Zhang Fu dared to take on this task, they didn't intend to live, surrender?The two of them never thought about it, even though Bai Qi also said that Qin would not blame them, and he was forced to surrender, but surrender is surrender, no one cares whether you are voluntary or forced, as long as you surrender, Their family members who stayed in Qin would not have a good life.

"Take care!" Bai Qi sighed, patted Huang Xing and Zhang Fu on the shoulders, and then said to Bai Chen: "Send the order, the army must be assembled, abandon all large equipment, set off lightly, and return to Jiameng Pass!"

"Here!" Bai Chen responded, and then went down to deliver the order.

In less than an hour, the Qin army was assembled. Each person brought three days of dry food, and all the other luggage stayed behind. Leaving [-] soldiers and horses, they hurried north.

This time the Qin army went south to Bashu. In addition to leaving 2 people to stay in Hanzhong, a total of 18 troops entered Shu, and 3 were lost in Quren City, and more than 8 were lost in the storming of Jianshan, leaving another [-]. People, there are only less than [-] people left to go back. It can be said that the loss is heavy, and the matter will not end like this. He couldn't keep it, but Bai Qi didn't think so much now, he just thought about returning to Guanzhong with the remaining soldiers and horses.
