Chapter 32 Long Qi, who fled in panic
32 Long Qie fled in panic
[New books please collect and recommend!]
"Why are these Qin cavalry so scary?"
Under the protection of a group of Xiang army guards, Long Qie fled as fast as he could on his war horse, not even daring to look back, and he didn't even bother to care about the life and death of the soldiers behind him.
Now, Long Qie just wanted to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible to avoid becoming a prisoner of the Qin army.
Behind him, thousands of Qin army cavalry led by Lu Bu were chasing them closely.
Lu Bu led the cavalry under his command and rushed past. The shining sword fell down, and the heads rolled to the ground. The corpses of Xiang's soldiers were everywhere.
"Keep chasing!"
Lü Bu led the cavalry of the Qin army and chased after Long Qie, who was so frightened that Long Qie ran away desperately.
Just now, Long Qie's three thousand soldiers were defeated by Lu Bu's cavalry in a single charge, and then it became a one-sided massacre.
Long Qie even overestimated his ability and made a few moves against Lu Bu. As a result, he was almost knocked off his horse by Lu Bu. He even risked his life and ran away desperately.
"When did the Qin army have such a fierce general? He is not inferior to the general!"
Long Qie looked behind him at the Qin cavalry who were still chasing them, and at the tall and mighty Lu Bu at the front, his palms trembling.
Long Qie is the number one general under Xiang Yu, and his own military strength is also extraordinary, but he is still a level below Lu Bu and a peerless general like Xiang Yu.
At this time, Long Qie, who was escaping, seemed to see Xiang Yu's figure from Lu Bu's body, and he was also suddenly in a mess, unable to defeat him.
"General, we can't escape like this. The Qin army's cavalry behind us is faster than us. If we continue like this, we will be overtaken.
General Long, you go first, we will stay behind.
General Long, go back and tell the general that we, the children of Chu, have not embarrassed him."
Immediately, the hundreds of Xiang Army cavalry who were protecting Long Qie turned around and attacked Lu Bu and other Qin Army cavalry, buying time for Long Qie to escape.
Long Qie understood the good intentions of these guards and continued to run away on his horse.
He looked back and saw that the more than a hundred guards who had fought back were already fighting with the Qin army's cavalry, but they all fell soon after.
A mere hundred cavalrymen could only resist the Qin cavalry for a moment, but this finally bought Long Qie enough time to escape.
"Stop, don't chase."
Looking at Long Qie who had fled away, Lu Bu raised his hand and told the Qin army's cavalry to stop their pursuit.
Long Qie has already fled far away, and it will be difficult to catch up with him. There is no need to waste this time.
"Go back and bring your Majesty back to life."
Immediately, Lu Bu led the Qin cavalry back and did not kill again.
When Lu Bu returned with his cavalry, he saw the infantry of the Guards Corps led by Zhao Yun behind him, busy escorting the prisoners.
When those Xiang Jun prisoners saw the cavalry led by Lu Bu returning, many of them were frightened and fell to the ground, trembling.
They were really scared out of their wits by the crazy killing spree led by Lu Bu and the Qin cavalry.
At this time, Lu Bu and the group of Qin Army cavalry behind him, in the eyes of these Xiang Army prisoners, were a group of terrifying murderers, killing without blinking an eye, and extremely powerful.
"Your Majesty, General Lu has returned with his army."
Xu Feng and Guo Jia stood at Tongguan Pass, looking at the cavalry regiment galloping back outside the pass. Guo Jia sipped the wine in his wine bag and said with a smile.
"Haha, this battle has been decided, but I don't know if Lu Bu has captured Long Qie, who is Xiang Yu's number one general.
If I can catch Long Qie, I would like to see Xiang Yu's wonderful face after we reach Hangu Pass."
He casually won a big victory, which made Xu Feng feel very good. He laughed and said.
Guo Jia looked at Xu Feng, who was laughing at the side, and said, "Your Majesty, the cavalry under General Lu are indeed very brave. They are a sharp blade, not inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry!"
"Well, it's a pity that the number is still too small. The prime minister and Fengxian both tried their best to be able to gather 7,000 cavalry before I personally marched."
Xu Feng nodded. He was very satisfied with the performance of Lu Bu's cavalry regiment on the battlefield.
"When I have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry under my command, why should I fear that Xiang Yu's mere 400,000 rebels will be wiped out in the same way?
At that time, I can conquer the six kingdoms again and unify the world just like my father did."
Xu Feng expressed his vision for the future.
"Your Majesty, you will do it. Fengxiao is willing to assist Your Majesty and witness the great Qin's unification of the world again."
Guo Jia bowed and said, also looking forward to the power of Xu Feng's story.
In his previous life, his wish was to assist Cao Cao and unify China, but unfortunately he died young and did not even see Cao Cao unify northern China.
In this life, he hopes that his ideal will be realized in Xu Feng.
After a while, Lu Bu walked up to Xu Feng, bowed in front of Xu Feng, and said in a respectful manner: "Your Majesty, I have failed your Majesty's orders. I only defeated the rebels and failed to capture the rebel general Long Qie."
."
"Didn't you catch Long Qie?"
Xu Feng was also a little disappointed when he heard Lu Bu's reply.
However, Xu Feng could not force Lu Bu on this point. Even if the enemy army was defeated on the battlefield, it would not be easy to capture the enemy's leader.
"Lu Aiqing, don't blame yourself. Your cavalry regiment fought very well in this battle."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
To be honest, Lu Bu's cavalry fought really well in this battle, and Xu Feng was really satisfied.
Half a day later, Zhao Yun's Guards Corps also returned, bringing back more than 8,000 prisoners.
In this battle, Xu Feng and the others caught the dragon from behind and defeated the 20,000 Xiang troops who occupied Tongguan at the cost of just over a thousand casualties.
Five to six thousand enemy troops were killed, and more than 8,000 were captured. Only three to four thousand escaped. Long Qie basically became a polished commander and escaped.
"Zhao Yun, leave a thousand-man team from your Guards Corps to escort these prisoners back to Xianyang and hand them over to the Prime Minister.
It just so happens that the mine is being expanded and there is a shortage of mining manpower. These 8,000 people are enough to support the opening of several new mines."
Xu Feng gave orders to Zhao Yun.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will make arrangements now." Zhao Yun responded respectfully.
"Tonight the whole army will rest in Tongguan for the night, and we will continue our journey tomorrow."
Tongguan is still more than 150 miles away from Hangu Pass. The Qin army still needs to walk for two days, so Xu Feng is not in a hurry for the time being.
Xu Feng knew that since Xiang Yu sent dragons to take a detour and sneak attack Tongguan, it at least meant that Xiang Yu had been unable to conquer Hangu Pass, so he came up with this strategy.
This also indirectly shows that Hangu Pass is temporarily safe and they do not need to rush there in a hurry.
The march should not be too hasty. Xu Feng needed to ensure that the Qin soldiers under his command should not be too tired when they arrived at Hangu Pass and be ready to fight at any time.
After more than 50,000 Qin troops rested at Tongguan overnight, they continued to march towards Hangu Pass the next day.
