Chapter 337
When Zhang Liang and Peng Yue led the army to Longqie's location, Longqie was standing blankly on the edge of the battlefield, watching the tens of thousands of infantry rushing to help clean up the battlefield.
Tian Wen and others followed Long Qie.
A strong bloody smell permeated the entire battlefield, steaming under the scorching sun, and a disgusting smell wafted in the entire air.
Looking around, what you see most on the battlefield is not the corpses of Qi soldiers nailed to the ground by crossbow arrows, but the scattered corpses of thousands of Jiangdong cavalry who were hacked and killed by [-] heavy cavalry.
Basically, none of the corpses of Jiangdong cavalry is complete.
Just like the hundreds of overturned chariots, stumps and broken arms are everywhere.
It's not that Zhang Liang has never experienced a battle, but this is the first time he has seen such a tragic battlefield.
Taking a deep breath, and forcibly controlling the tumbling stomach and intestines, Zhang Liang carefully avoided the corpses of several Qi soldiers who were lying on the ground and hadn't been restrained, and came to stand beside Longqie. .
Several people bowed to Zhang Liang.
If it wasn't for Zhang Liang, all of them would have died without a place to bury them.
"General!" Zhang Liang saluted the three of them, looked at Long Qi with a lonely face, and said softly.
This is the first time he has seen the spirited dragon with such an expression.
Obviously, this battle dealt a huge blow to Long Qie.
Hear Zhang Liang's voice.Long Qi seemed to have just woken up from his contemplation, looked back at Zhang Liang and said indifferently: "The ovary is here!"
"General, how is this battle going?" Zhang Liang thought for a while and asked.
When everyone around heard Zhang Liang's words, their expressions changed.
Doesn't this piece of goodness mean which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?Looking at the broken arms and limbs that can be seen everywhere on this battlefield, you can know how this battle is going.
Don't you ask this to sprinkle a handful of salt on the general's heart that is already full of wounds?
"A fiasco!" Long Qie said without looking back.
"How many casualties?" Zhang Liang seemed to have to ask Long Qie clearly about this issue today.
"Everyone, go down and collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers and bury them. Order the army to set up camp on the spot!" Long Qie turned his head, took a deep look at Zhang Liang, and then ordered to everyone.
"Obey!" The few people who originally wanted to leave after hearing Zhang Liang's words, now heard Long Qie's words and hurriedly obeyed, then turned around and left without looking back.
"The [-] Jiangdong cavalry that were supposed to be brought here are now less than [-] intact. More than [-] people were killed. More than [-] chariots and soldiers were wiped out. The Qi army suffered more than [-] casualties." Leave, Long Qie said reluctantly.
"May I ask the general, what are the casualties of the Qin army?"
"There is no statistics, but it is estimated that the number of dead is at most [-], and there are also [-] wounded and separated."
"Since that's the case, why did the general make such a childish gesture? Is the general afraid of the Qin people? Or has this battle already defeated the general's determination to destroy the Qin country?" Zhang Liang asked immediately.
"Zifang misunderstood!" Long Qi said with a wry smile, "Is there any retreat for us now?"
"Then why is the general in such a state?"
"If Zifang hadn't sent troops to help today, I'm afraid my head would have been dedicated to Yingzheng by the Qin army."
"We have long known the benefits of the Qin army. General, don't worry! But today, it seems that the Qin people have a kind of pawn that has never appeared in battle?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Thousands of cavalry are covered in armor and cannot tell whether they are people or anything. They are invulnerable. Thousands of Jiangdong cavalry can't stop these cavalry for a moment. More than [-] of my Jiangdong children are buried in these cavalry. hand."
"Did the general have such cavalry corpses?" Zhang Liang saw Long Qie's expression noncommittal.
"I didn't get any of them, and the Qin army took them all away when they withdrew."
"Don't worry, general. You must know that everything cannot be perfect. The Qin people's cavalry is so powerful, and it must have its disadvantages. Now that the Qin people have a good idea of the truth, this time will definitely help the general get what he wants. At that time, the invulnerable cavalry army will definitely be used by the general. It's time. Just ask, who else in the world is an opponent of the general." Zhang Liang said proudly.
"Oh, Zifang's words are serious?" Long Qie, who had a lonely face, felt relieved when he heard Zhang Liang's words, and asked eagerly, grabbing Zhang Liang's arm.
"General, please listen to Liang's arrival." Zhang Liang whispered to Long and whispered.
Listening to Zhang Liang's words, Long Qi's complexion changed, and the dejected look on his face was swept away, and finally let out a very hearty laugh.
"Haha! I got Zifang's help, no less than a hundred thousand elite soldiers."
The battle outside Xingyang City lasted several hours.By the time Longqie's army finished cleaning the battlefield, the sun was about to set.
After cleaning up the messy battlefield and burning all the corpses of the fallen soldiers, Longqie immediately swung his army in and set up camp less than three miles away from Xingyang City, encircling Chengyang City from all sides.
Hundreds of thousands of people set up tents stretching for dozens of miles around Xingyang City.
The overwhelming aura of the densely packed hundreds of thousands of troops immediately put a heavy stone on the hearts of the people of Xingyang who had been slightly relieved because of the big victory.
Even Ying Gang was the first to see soldiers besieging a city.
Although I watched many wars in the cold weapon era through TV and movies in my previous life, most of them were extras, and the number of them was only a few hundred, and then they were turned into hundreds of thousands by computer stunts. Compared with the situation of its environment.
After Longqie's army set up camp, they began to dig trenches one or two feet deep and one foot wide on all sides of Xingyang City less than a mile away from the city wall.
It seems that he has made up his mind to surround Ying Gang and others to death in Xingyang city.
When Ying just received the news and rushed to the top of the city, the five deep trenches in the south facing the Longqie Chinese army camp had already taken shape.
Less than two hours.Before the sun set and the darkness had not yet fallen, the ditches on the four sides of the city wall had been closed, and five shallow ditches more than ten miles long formed five rings.Enclose the entire Xingyang city in it.
And there are countless soldiers who are continuing to widen and deepen the trench.
Seeing the five trenches that had been connected in a line, Ying Gang's first instinct was that Long Qi used these trenches to guard against his own cavalry, especially the heavy armored cavalry that almost killed the Chu army.
However, Ying Gang also had some doubts.
Could it be that they dug trenches in this way to trap themselves to death in Xingyang City?
Fearing the dragon in one battle?
Although there is no shortage of food in Xingyang City now, it can only support the nearly [-] soldiers and civilians in the city for at least half a month!Of course, if it is counted as the nearly ten thousand war horses of the Qin army, it should be able to last for more than a month.
At that time, when Qin's reinforcements arrive, how can they withstand the offensive?
