Chapter 118 Jagged Qixia Ridge

Jiang Song, the secret spy of Qin State, who was following far behind, watched General Bai Chu, who was leading the charge, beheaded with one's own eyes, and his heart was broken. Since the fire broke out on the river, he had already had a premonition of the situation today. When the cavalry of Zhao State rushed down from Qixia Ridge, he only felt the irresistible momentum, and he understood that the general situation was about to go, and he should quickly find an opportunity to escape.

People who have been walking in the dark for a long time always have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. When the Southern Han army shouted and rushed forward, Jiang Song had already found a way out. When he witnessed Bai Chu being killed, he no longer hesitated and quickly retreated to the riverside, plunged into the water, and fled downstream desperately. The burning of the flames made the air on the river suffocate. He endured the pain of the wound on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and sneaked into the bottom of the water. The last scene he saw before he fell into the water was that the Southern Han navy was already defeated under the pursuit of the Zhao cavalry and was running around in scattered.

Losing the army commanded by the general also lost the courage to continue fighting. Facing the long swords and fierce horses of the Zhao people, they had no way to organize effective resistance except for escaping. However, even if they wanted to escape, where would they escape?

All the warships were blocked on this section of the river, and as the flames rose, they formed walls of fire. The desperate soldiers could only flee along the shore or knelt down and beg for mercy. However, the cavalrymen of Zhao, who had received the order of killing, were merciless. The war horses neighed, the iron armor was cold, and the long sword swung, and pieces of corpses fell on this land, blood flowed, dyeing the river bank red.

In the ambush in Qixia Ridge, the Dragon Cavalry Army took less than half an hour from the start of the charge to the control of the overall situation. In the following time, only cruel killing was left. The war horses galloped back and forth, with swords flashing, and life was as light as an ant between the mountains and the rivers.

At the height of Qixia Ridge, all the palace servants who were responsible for the protection mission looked at the thrilling battlefield below without blinking. Everyone was trembling with excitement, and they wanted to run down to draw their swords to help the battle immediately. However, when they thought of their responsibilities, they forced themselves to calm down. During this period, they had secretly watched the figure waving the battle flag several times, but they didn't even notice it themselves, and the reverence in their eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Your Highness, the overall situation is settled! This victory is so exciting...hahaha!"

The Prime Minister Fei Yi laughed to the sky, laughing but couldn't help but burst into tears. He just beat the drum himself to boost morale. Seeing the heroic fight of the Dragon Cavalry soldiers, he couldn't help but think of the past events that followed King Zhao on the battlefield during his prime, and he felt both gratitude and sadness.

Chu Jiangmian leaned on the flagpole in his hand, and the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, and the battle flags above his head flew. Although he did not personally get on the horse to kill the enemy, standing here was his greatest support for this war.

"World wars are divided between justice and injustice. Those who attack justly will win, and those who invade without reason will be defeated! The Southern Han Kingdom was driven by interests and launched troops to invade. I will remember this account. Eliminating these troops today is just a small lesson... Early and late, the Southern Han King Lu Qi will pay a greater price!"

Chu Jiangmian withdrew his gaze from watching the battlefield. Although his tone was calm, everyone heard his determination and courage. At this moment, no one would think that what he said was a threat. A person who wiped out more than 20,000 elite troops in the ashes with a wave of his hand, what would happen when he truly ascended the throne and was domineering... When he thought of this, not only the others were in a hot heart, but even Liang Sheng, the young master who had been resting silently next to him, was inexplicably looking forward to it.

"Your Highness is broad-minded and full of wisdom. In the future, he inherits the will of the king, punishes evil and promotes good, and benefits the welfare of all people in the world, and is just around the corner! The old minister has sufficient confidence in this!"

Fei Yi bowed and bowed again, and everyone also paid a gift. This was everyone's hope from the bottom of their hearts. Chu Jiangmian waved his hand and thanked him, and did not dare to claim his merits.

"Your Highness, your army has won a great victory, and we will kill the enemy general's head. We will offer it!"

Wang Jun, the captain who came to report the news under General Long Yu's order, jumped off his war horse and threw a head on the ground. Then he fell to the ground, with an excited look on his face. Chu Jiangmian reached out to help him up, but did not look at the head. He just patted his shoulder heavily and exclaimed loudly.

"Wang Jun, thank you for your hard work! I will write down this great contribution for you!"

The cavalry captain was surprised. He didn't expect that His Highness the Prince knew his name! And everyone present was overjoyed. Although he had known that victory was in sight, it was still a bit unexpected when it came so quickly. Fei Yidang came first, glanced at the head, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that Bai Chu, the general of the Southern Han Navy, was also a powerful general, but I didn't expect that he would be killed so easily today! My Dragon Cavalry Army is really a mighty army! Captain Wang is mighty! Haha!"

"This is all the achievements of Your Highness in planning and planning. We only know how to kill the enemy, and we will never dare to be the contribution... Your Highness, the Prime Minister, and the General of the Dragon Cavalry asked me to report that most of the enemy has been eliminated and we are encircling and suppressing the remaining enemies. In another hour, we can end the battle!"

Such exact news is undoubtedly particularly exciting. Chu Jiangmian pulled out his sword from the ground, said only one sentence, and then walked down Qixia Ridge first.

"Let's go! Let's go to the battlefield together."

Everyone followed closely, no one behind.

The news reported by Captain Wang Jun was accurate. The Southern Han army had indeed been almost wiped out. There were hundreds of people left, which were considered to be a fortune. They all retreated to a slightly higher area on the bank of the river, and fought desperately and tried to defend the last little place to live. Long Yu had personally brought his people to surround and kill him. I believe that they would be completely wiped out soon.

Within dozens of miles of the bank of the river, there were corpses everywhere. They were all soldiers of the Southern Han navy. They died here, with high mountains and long roads, vast waters and long skyscrapers, and their souls could never return to their hometown.

Of course, the Dragon Cavalry also suffered a small number of casualties. Although this ambush can be regarded as an unprecedented and brilliant victory, these dead soldiers are undoubtedly sad.

Chu Jiangmian walked down Qixia Ridge and walked all the way through the smoke and blood. He bent down and carried the body of the first dragon cavalry he encountered from the casualties everywhere, and wiped the blood from his face with his own hands. Then the second and third... They were all placed on the clean clearings on the shore and covered their faces with their battle robes. Maintaining the dignity of every soldier as much as possible after death may be the only thing he can do for them now.

Although he had tried his best to create the most favorable conditions and the most suitable fighter jets, since it was a war, casualties were always inevitable. Nearly 300 Dragon Cavalry soldiers lost their lives in this short period of time. Many other injured people were quickly treated.

Unlike the emotions in everyone present, Chu Jiangmian did not have much joy after the victory. On the contrary, what lingered in his heart was only the sadness that was hard to let go. This kind of compassion was not only aimed at the dead soldiers in Zhao State, but also all the casualties and wounded on the battlefield today.

"Your Highness! At the cost of hundreds of casualties, he won a huge victory of over 20,000 defeating the enemy... There are not many people in the world who can do such a method. As for the old minister, he is even more incomparable to him!"

Fei Yi, who was keenly aware of the solemn expression on his face, did not understand what he was thinking at the moment, could not help but exclaim loudly. This was not his flattery, but the common voice of everyone.

"Yes! I have traveled to the vassal states in the early years and have witnessed several wars with my own eyes. The long-lasting battles on the battlefield are self-evident. And like this time, I won a great victory within one or two hours... I have never seen it, I have never heard of it! Your Highness, I think if the Dragon Cavalry Army could also be equipped with a Divine Machine Crossbow because of the haste, then not only would the casualties be minimal, but the end of the battlefield would be faster, right?"

Bai Ye, who had been protecting Chu Jiangmian, finally couldn't help but take over Fei Yi's words. The war was coming too fast, and the smelting craftsmen of Zhao State fought hard day and night to build it, and only produced a small number of magic crossbows. And they were all equipped on the newly established Hu Ben Army. The battle with the Qin and Wei army was the real battlefield for head-on battle!

"No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it is not my original intention to kill people... Everyone who dies here, whether it is our soldiers or enemies, is the same root and vein, descendants of Yan and Huang. Every war is a burden that this land and nation cannot bear. I hope that in the near future, it is my greatest wish to be able to defeat others without fighting!"

Chu Jiangmian stood up with a solemn expression and walked forward strode forward. Perhaps not many people could understand what he said now. But he believed that he would have the ability to make them truly understand without waiting for a long time!

"What does Your Highness the Prince mean?"

Sure enough, someone whispered in confusion. The enemy is the enemy, kill him quickly! Moreover, the cruel orders of not leaving prisoners in this battle were obviously issued by him in person. Then why are you sad because of the death of the enemy?

"Let's go! Don't ask more, just do what he said in the future... Your Highness is in the world, and it's not something we can understand!"

The Prime Minister Fei Yi sighed and followed closely. Among these people, perhaps only he could understand Chu Jiangmian's feelings. This young man who had watched him grow up with his own eyes was indeed a wise and brave man who practiced thunderous methods with compassion!
