Chapter 177 Rescue
The tragic cavalry showdown is finally over.
Lou Fanren probably knew that it was almost impossible to escape from the Qin army's pursuit, so they fought to the end. Nearly 6,000 Lou Fanren was almost all killed. King Lou Fan was also cut off his head by Meng Shi's sword. Now, King Lou Fan's head was placed at Meng Shi's feet with a ferocious eyebrows.[]
However, the Qin army also suffered heavy casualties.
Four thousand Qin troops, more than 800 people were killed in battle, and more than 500 others were seriously injured!
The remaining 2,600 people were almost injured. In addition to a blood groove on his face, a single arrow was also shot on his shoulders, thighs and back. However, these were just minor injuries. The real wounds of Meng Wei's death were still in his heart. The death of the old Qin people and Princess Yingzhen's trouble were the lingering pain in his heart.
In a sense, Menghuo's faith has collapsed.
"General, the battlefield has been cleaned, what should I do next?"
I don’t know when the captain of the personal soldiers came behind Meng Feng.
Meng Feng looked up and saw that all the Qin army soldiers who were killed had been placed on the dry firewood and white haystack. More than 500 seriously injured soldiers had also been placed on the horse's back. When Meng Feng waved his hand, dozens of Qin soldiers threw the torches in their hands on the dry firewood and white haystack. After a while, the entire firewood was burning.
However, Meng Fengyi was confused as to where the Qin army should go next.
Go back to Linhe? All the old, young, women and children have been killed, and the entire city has turned into ruins. Why do you want to go back to that sad place? But if you don’t go back to Linhe, where should the Qin army go? Meng Feng suddenly discovered that although the world is big, there is no place for them, the old Qin people.
Suddenly, a thought suddenly arose in Meng Yan's mind.
Why not go north and fight with the Huns? The old Qin people moved to Jiuyuan to resist the Huns. If they could die in battle on the journey to expedition to the Huns, it would be an ideal destination. Yes, it's time to end. The Qin Empire has been inundated for eight years, and their last Great Qin flying cavalry should end their destiny.
When Meng Wu was about to order the entire army to go north, a continuous sound of horns suddenly sounded from the western sky.
"Well, this is..." Meng Fengyi turned around and saw a faint black line on the western horizon at some point. Obviously, a huge cavalry was approaching quickly, but he didn't know whether this cavalry was a Lin Hu person, or Xiu Turen who entered Hetao from Gaoque, or... a Chu army?
However, no matter who comes, it doesn't matter.
Since the other party chooses to appear at this time, he will definitely not have any kindness. Since he is an enemy, then prepare to welcome the last flying cavalry of the old Qin people for the last assault.
After turning on the horse, Meng Feng raised the double-edged heavy sword again.
In the end, the remaining more than 2,600 cavalry also boarded the horses and turned their heads to gather behind Meng Feng.
This time, Meng Fengqi did not shout any slogans anymore, but just gently led the heavy sword in his hand forward. More than 2,600 cavalry behind him activated their war horses and followed Meng Fengqi forward fiercely.

Amid the endless sound of horns, King Xiu Tu gently raised his right hand, and the cavalry advancing behind him slowed down their horses and then slowly spread toward their wings.
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of King Xiu Tu's mouth.
Judging from this situation, the Qin army seemed to have just fought a battle with Lou Anren. Although he won the final victory, he also paid a heavy price. The old Qin people in Jiuyuan should have more than 5,000 cavalry, but now, there are at most more than 3,000 cavalry left, and they are all covered in blood in the battle robe, and they are more or less injured.
It seems that the Xiu Tu army came at the right time.
"Hahaha..." King Xiu Tu couldn't help but laugh to the sky.
With 40,000 Xiu Tu cavalry against 3,000 Qin cavalry, no matter how brave the Qin army is, no matter how well equipped, and well-trained the Qin army is, it will undoubtedly win this battle. More importantly, after the Xiu Tu army destroyed the Qin army, it will be able to obtain the Qin army's armor, strong bows, hard crossbows, various equipment and various baggage. From then on, Xiu Tu will be able to dominate the northern part of the desert!
However, King Xiu Tu's laughter had not stopped, and a melodious horn suddenly sounded from the southern sky.
The smile on King Xiu Tu's face froze instantly, and all the 40,000 Xiu Tu cavalrymen entering Hetao were around. Therefore, the one who appeared from the south would definitely not be Xiu Tu people. Who was that person?
Looking back leisurely, there are rolling mountains in the south.
"Look, Master, what is that?!" A sharp-eyed Xiu Tu cavalry suddenly screamed.
When King Xiu Tu and the tens of thousands of riders around him looked closely, they saw a yellow flag suddenly rise behind the low mountain ridge more than ten miles away. Seeing this yellow flag, King Xiu Tu was shocked because he knew that the Hu people on the grassland did not have such flags. Obviously, this time they came to the Central Plains!
People in the Central Plains?! How did people in the Central Plains appear here?!
The next moment, the densely dense halberd had already risen up fiercely after the yellow flag, and the dark heavy armored soldiers appeared immediately after the long halberd. In less than a moment, thousands of heavy armored infantry had already surged down the ridge and slowly crushed towards Xiu Turen along the flat wasteland.
What appeared immediately after the heavy armored infantry was a fleet of baggage vehicles.
After half an hour passed, the Central Plains people's baggage convoy continued to rise from behind the ridge, as if it would never be exhausted and endless.
"Retreat, send orders to all departments and retreat quickly!"
King Xiu Tu issued an order to retreat without hesitation. He knew how powerful the heavy armored soldiers of the Central Plains were. He thought that if it weren't for the suffering of the heavy armored infantry of the Great Qin Empire, King Xiu Tu would not have presented his sister, who was known as the "Flower of the Grassland" to Qin Shihuang, nor would he move his clan away from the Longxi Grassland with abundant water and grass.
#########################################################################
When Xiu Tu's army retreated in a hurry, the Qin army stopped involuntarily.
The Central Plains army that suddenly emerged behind the southern ridge also attracted the attention of the Qin army.
King Xiu Tu didn't know the background of the Central Plains people emerging from behind the southern ridge, but Meng Feng and the Qin army soldiers could see clearly at a glance. The Chu army must be the only one who can be the Chu army! I just don't know why the Chu army suddenly appeared on the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain? Did they pick up the bargain like the Hu people in the west, or came to rescue the Qin army?
To be honest, Meng Feng did not hope that the Chu army would come to save them.
If the Chu army really came to rescue the Qin army, no matter whether he or she was grateful or not, at least morally speaking, the old Qin people owed the Chu army a favor. Meng Feng had already made up his mind to sacrifice for the Qin Dynasty for the Ying family. He did not want to owe Xiang Zhuang and the Chu army a favor before his death.

Xiangzhuang rode a black horse and slowly walked up the ridge surrounded by Wei Liao and Bailixian.
During this expedition, all the Chu army walked on foot, and the speed of the marching was naturally not comparable to riding a horse. Fortunately, the battlefield where the Qin army fought fiercely with Lou was on the northern foot of Yinshan, and Jiuyuan City was on the southern foot of Yinshan, so just by climbing over the low Yinshan, the Chu army appeared directly on the edge of the battlefield.
Looking down from the ridge, the retreating Xiu Tu army, the Qin army stationed in a row, and the battlefield full of corpses in the distance were all in sight.
Even in the air, a faint smell of blood can be smelled.
"General, it seems we are still late." Bailixian sighed.
"No, we're not too late." Xiang Zhuang shook his head. Although the Qin army suffered heavy losses in the annoying fire with Lou, the elite troops remained. The remaining two or three thousand Qin troops were cavalry seeds. As long as these elite troops were still there and as long as these thousands of cavalry seeds were still there, the Chu army could soon train a powerful cavalry.
After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziliang, I'll ask you next."
"Don't worry, General, I'm sure I'm going to make a decision." Bailixian bowed to Xiangzhuang, and then rode his horse down the ridge in Bailimao, surrounded by the abyss.
Wei Liao put on a tent and looked at it for a moment, and suddenly said, "General, don't slaughter people, it seems that they didn't bring cattle, sheep, women and children!"
"Is that right?" When Xiang Zhuang heard this, he looked closely and found that Xiu Tu's army was all cavalry. There was no cattle, sheep, or a woman or a child in the army. This situation was a bit abnormal, because when the nomadic people went on a war, all cattle, sheep, animals, and old, young, women and children would go on a war with the army, one for logistical support and the other for protecting the tribe.
Wei Liao stroked his long beard under his chin and suddenly said, "It seems that the butcher is very anxious."
A cold light suddenly flashed through Xiang Zhuang's eyes. Wei Liao's implication was very clear. Xiu Tu cavalry came in a hurry, and their cattle, sheep, herds, and their old, young, women and children were afraid that they would still be behind.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Bailixian rode his horse to Meng Shi.
Meng Feng said to Bailixian lightly: "Brother Ziliang, are you still not giving up?"
Bailixian said, "What kind of person is my brother? God must know better than anyone else. As long as it is something I, Bailixian, have no chance of giving up."
Meng Feng sighed, "Brother Ziliang, let's be brothers in the next life."
"Why have to wait for the next life?" Baili Xian said, "In this life, we will be brothers for another fifty years!"
Meng Feng shook his head and said lightly: "Brother Ziliang, I will summon all the soldiers of the entire army. If you are willing to go with you and who are willing to return to Da Chu, I will never leave you."
"So, what about you, Brother Tianfang?" Bailixian's expression changed slightly.
