Chapter 580 Xiang Yan’s Hanging Heart Finally Died! Father and Son Meet Again, but They Kill Each Other!

Five thousand Judu soldiers and horses covered up their injuries and followed Su Jiao, blocking all roads leading to the city in an orderly formation.

Su Jiao did not continue to charge, but took out an earthen jar from the bamboo basket on the side of the horse.

The movements of the two hundred Qin troops and Su Jiao were the same. They all used torches to light the hemp rope on the top of the jar and threw it in the direction of the Chu army!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The earthen jar shattered immediately after colliding with the ground or the Chu army's armor, and the liquid inside spilled out along with the inertia.

But before it could spread, the flames on the hemp rope had completely ignited it!

Su Jiao shouted excitedly: "Turn left and throw again!"

Su Jie Ma kept changing directions and led his knights to turn left several dozen feet before throwing another round of earthen jars.

Soon, a semicircle composed of flames appeared behind Chu Jun!

"Boom! Boom!"

At the same time, the drums for marching into the city sounded from the center of the Chu army and floated into the ears of the Chu troops in Judu.

But not even a single Chu soldier paid attention to this order.

Smelling the familiar pungent smell in the air and looking at Pao Ze who was falling into the sea of ​​fire beside him, the face of the Chu army who had faced off against the Qin army was full of despair, and he exclaimed in a hoarse voice:

"This is the anointing oil Zhu Rong boiled! This is the smell, I will definitely smell it wrong!"

"The Great God Zhu Rong has arrived on the battlefield, and the Great God Zhu Rong has set off the divine fire. Run! Otherwise, we will all be buried in the sea of ​​fire! We will die of divine punishment!"

"Help me, ah!!! Throw sand at me! Throw sand at me!"

"Run! Run! There is only tung oil fire in the city gate, not divine fire. Rush out of the city gate!"

After Su Jiao also led his Qin army to build a ring of fire defense line, he shouted in a deep voice: "Send the order to the middle and last units."

"Target the Chu army's unarmored infantry, and shoot with bows and crossbows!"

Gongyangba shouted excitedly: "Daqi warriors, shoot!"

Arrows rose up and rained down on the Chu army, causing constant damage to the Chu army.

The Chu army's body and mind suffered a double blow. Not to mention Xiang Yan's military orders, the military morale that Xiang Han and other Chu army generals had finally stabilized was shaken.

The lesser of two evils.

Rather than stepping on the flames ignited by oil and charging into the city, the Chu soldiers would rather step on the flames ignited by tung oil and become deserters!

One after another, the Chu soldiers rushed toward the burning city gate, picked up a cloud of sand with their swords, and poured it on the tung oil.

Some of the Chu soldiers who were extremely courageous or extremely courageous did not even wait to extinguish the flames at the city gate before they stepped on the sea of ​​​​fire and ran out.

Xiang Han and other Chu army generals looked at each other and could see deep despair and helplessness in each other's eyes.

The situation is completely out of control, and executing military orders is even more wishful thinking. The only thing they can do now is to reduce the casualties among their subordinates.

Xiang Han ordered unwillingly: "Don't panic! If there is a chaos, no one can escape from the city!"

"Listen to the general's orders!"

"Arrange the entire army in formation!"

"Out of town!"

It was clear that the Chu army was beating the war drums to attack Judu, but the four gates of Judu were spitting out Chu soldiers one after another. The scene seemed funny and absurd for a while.

Looking at the flames and billowing black smoke in Judu from a distance, Xiang Yan sighed softly: "As expected! As expected!"

"Since Lord Qin Chang'an can predict Ben's plan to die and live, how could he not make arrangements for Judu?"

Seeing Ying Chengyu detonating the arrangements in Judu with his own eyes, Xiang Yan's hanging heart finally... died!

The only thing that gave Xiang Yan some relief was that the Qin-Qi coalition forces deployed in Judu City were indeed too few. Even if Ying Chengyu had arranged them early, he could not kill the Chu army trapped in Judu. He could only use one The fire forced the Chu army out of Judu.

This fire indeed made it impossible for the Chu army to capture Judu, but it also prevented Su Jiao and other Qin-Qi coalition forces in Judu from pursuing them, allowing Xiang Han and other troops to leave Judu safely.

No longer harboring any hope, Xiang Yan decisively ordered: "Ming Jin!"

"Send an order to the entire army to cross the Silt River south and withdraw!"

"Generals, please spread out across the battlefield and help our troops escape!"

Qu Huan and others felt very heavy.

At sunrise today, they are still looking forward to seizing Judu with the momentum of a great victory.

But now that the sun has not set, they have turned victory into defeat, and even have to run for their lives while being pursued by the enemy.

And the person who brought them such a turning point was Ying Chengyu, who made them want to eat his flesh!

With deep unwillingness and hatred, all the Chu generals accepted their orders: "Wei!"

The Chu army dispersed.

The fresh forces that have survived to this day expanded in all directions to help the Chu armies escape the battle, and turned southward one after another.

Under the command of Xiang Yan, the remaining Chu troops retreated in an orderly manner toward the Silt River after paying a heavy price.

"Shangzhu Kingdom!"

Jingchou, who had already led his troops to wait here, boarded the boat and went ashore. He rode towards Xiang Yan and said repeatedly: "Our warships are fighting with the Qi navy."

"Of course, the Qi army has a large navy and is well prepared. Our army may not be able to hold off the Qi army for too long."

"Please go to Zhuguo and all of you, please board the boat quickly and cross the river as soon as possible!"

Xiang Yan held Jingchou's arm hard: "Vice General Jing, thank you!"

"Of course, the Qin army's pursuit is strong."

"The general intends to use his deputy general Qu Huan as the vanguard to open up a retreat path."

"This general will personally lead the main force to retreat urgently."

"Can you ask Vice Admiral Jing to lead a 20,000-strong Chinese army and navy warships to intercept the Qin army's pursuit?"

Jingchou was slightly startled and nodded solemnly: "The last general will take your orders!"

Jingchou knew that Xiang Yan had no ill intentions.

Looking at the generals in this army, Xiang Yan and Jingchou had the most experience fleeing for their lives under Ying Chengyu, and they also had the most experience facing Ying Chengyu's pursuit.

As early as last year's escape battle after the Battle of Sui Shouchuncheng, Jingchou would lead the rear army to intercept the Qin army's pursuers from time to time.

But Jingchou didn't expect that not long after he left the main battlefield, the battle situation had become so bad that Xiang Yan now needed Jingchou to stay to stop the enemy!

Xiang Yan shook Jingchou's arm vigorously and said sincerely: "Only if Vice General Jing personally guards the rear army, can I feel at ease!"

Jingchou also held Xiang Yan's arm and laughed loudly: "Shangzhu Guoxin is the last general, and the last general will not be ashamed of Shangzhu Guoxin!"

"Go to Zhuguo and go south with peace of mind. The Qin army's pursuit will be stopped by the last general!"

Xiang Yan said nothing and immediately boarded the ship.

Standing on the deck of the boat, Xiang Yan looked deeply to the northeast, and seemed to see an energetic young man smiling at him with a confident smile.

Five fingers were embedded in the railing due to excessive force. Xiang Yan's cold and firm voice drifted to the northeast with the wind:

"This battle is not over yet!"

"Victory or defeat is still unknown!"

"Jun Qin Chang'an, I will definitely make you understand that your biggest mistake was to ask Da Da to join Qi!"

"The victory or defeat of a war never depends solely on the generals of both sides!"

Watching Xiang Yan and the boat troops go south along the silt river, the smile on Jingchou's face slowly faded and he shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"

"The entire army forms an array and defends by the river!"

"Calling Big Wing 20 and Little Wing 100 to come here quickly to help our army defend it!"

Under Jingchou's familiar command, the 20,000 Chu troops quickly formed a blocking formation.

As soon as they formed their formation, tens of thousands of Qin and Qi coalition troops rushed towards them.

Jingchou shouted without hesitation: "The crossbowmen are spreading, release!"

The rain of arrows rose and splashed towards the Qin and Qi Allied Forces, but it was unable to stop the Qin and Qi Allied Forces.

Jingchou was not surprised by this. After the crossbowmen had diffused for five rounds, he ordered the crossbowmen to withdraw to the central army and continued to order: "The front line forms a square formation."

"Stop the enemy!"

"Command the big wing, launch the crossbow!"

Orders were issued one after another, and Jing Chou commanded the 20,000 Chu troops to block the footsteps of the Qin and Qi coalition forces like a stubborn stone.

But suddenly, a familiar figure flashed past Jingchou's peripheral vision.

Jingchou's neck stiffened slightly, and then he suddenly turned to the northwest, his eyes widened unconsciously, and his eyes were filled with astonishment: "Quite..."

Jingchou never expected that he would be able to see his eldest son again in his lifetime.

Jingpo!

It's just that when they met this time, the father and son were no longer fighting the enemy under the banner of the Chu army, but they were on separate sides of Qin and Chu!

Forcibly resisting the urge to call out to Jingpo, Jingchou tightened his grip on his spear and shouted: "The soldiers obey the order, and the guard will rush to kill!"

"Jingli's troops obeyed the order and formed a spear formation. With his trusted followers at the front, they followed behind me and charged in to kill!"

Jing Tao, the leader of the 500-strong family, shouted in astonishment: "Master! The main force of the Qin army is in front of us!"

Leading thousands of Chu troops to launch a counterattack against hundreds of thousands of Qin troops?

Jing Tao really wanted to ask Jing Chou.

Master, are you crazy?

However, Jingchou didn't explain. He just shook the reins and rode forward impatiently.

Jing Tao, Jing Li and others could only lead the crowd and follow behind.

"kill!"

After stabbing a Qi soldier to death with one shot, Jingchou panted and raised his eyes, looking ahead full of expectation, anxiety and guilt.

He finally saw the figure that made him cry several times in the middle of the night.

"Po'er? Po'er! Is that you Po'er?!"

Not far ahead, Jingpo poked his head and looked around, then led dozens of cavalrymen to gallop forward, shouting excitedly: "Ah Weng!!!"

Jingchou's pupils were shaking, and his old body suddenly burst out with infinite power. He stabbed three enemy soldiers to death one after another with his pistol, trying his best to close the distance with Jingpo.

Jing Tao, Jing Li and other members of the Jing clan also looked at Jing Po in disbelief.

Without saying a word, Jing Li gave Jing Tao a look and immediately led his cronies forward to help Jing Chou kill all the enemy troops in front of him.

Jing Tao closely guarded Jing Li, standing vigilantly and guardedly against the confidants brought by Jing Po, using their bodies to carve out a space for Jing Po and Jing Chou.

"Aweng!"

"Po'er!"

Jingpo rolled off his horse, knelt down in front of Jingchou, kowtowed and shouted: "The child failed to serve at Aweng's side. This is really a loss for the child. Please punish Aweng!"

Jingchou eagerly wanted to dismount, but accidentally fell off the horse.

Jingpo was horrified when he saw this: "Ah Weng!"

Jingpo subconsciously wanted to step forward to help Jingchou, but Jingchou ignored the pain in his body and ran towards Jingpo rolling and crawling.

"Po'er!" Jingchou gave Jingpo a heavy hug, then grabbed Jingpo's shoulders with both hands, looked at the weeping Jingpo carefully, tears could not help but flow from his tiger eyes: "Where is the punishment? "

"It was Nai Gong who failed to protect you, so you were captured by the Qin army."

"I'm so ashamed of you!"

Although Jingchou had many sons, Jingpo had a unique position in Jingchou's heart.

This was Jingchou's eldest son who had been carefully raised by Jingchou, followed him in his expeditions, and was regarded by him as his successor!

Being captured by the Qin army due to the failure of Jingchou's command has made Jingchou feel heartbroken. How could Jingchou have the heart to punish him?

Jingchou grabbed Jingpo's hands harder and harder: "It'll be good when you're back, it'll be good when you're back!"

"Leave everything else to Nai Gong."

"Even if Nai Gong risks his life, he will definitely protect you when you return home!"
