After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 278
After the mobile cavalry heard this, their expressions were very excited, and they raised their sabers and shouted loudly.

"Leader!"

By this time, the new round of crossbow arrows had been wound, and then adjusted immediately, aiming at the Song army.

Xiang Chao heard the shouts of the Han army and knew that it was Meng Di who was boosting morale, so he also shouted loudly.

"The Marquis of Han is in the front army. No matter who he is, whoever can kill him will be granted the title of doctor and city!"

After Song Jun heard this, his morale was greatly boosted, and he spread this sentence throughout the army. In their view, there were only a few thousand people ahead, and they had no resistance in front of the chariot.

But Xiang Chao didn't see it that way. He had already seen the appearance of those bed crossbows. Just by seeing the arrows as thick as arms, he knew that once they were shot, they would definitely die, so he immediately ordered the chariot soldiers to evacuate attack.

In his opinion, there are still 20 steps away from Mengdi. As long as he commands properly, he may win by reducing his losses, but it was too late. There was a fog of blood ahead.

Song Jun, whose morale was boosted, was directly stunned by this round of blows, mainly because he had never seen such a sharp thing. So many people died in just one round. If they could be fired one after another, they would be beaten Shoot alive.

So he couldn't help avoiding the shooting direction of the bed crossbow, so that the formation became chaotic. Mengdi seized this opportunity and directly led the cavalry to charge up. The Han cavalry who were fighting with the front of the Song army had now laid down win the game.

Seeing Mengdi charge into the battle in person, their morale was greatly shaken, and they broke up the remaining Song army that was still stubbornly resisting, and then ignored the broken Song army, and directly outflanked Xiangchao's troops.

The situation on the battlefield was completely changed in an instant. The Song Army, which was still capable of a battle, now only had the strength to survive. Xiang Chao saw that he could not make a contribution, but he was unwilling to give up easily and shrink his troops. A tenacious resistance began.

Under the siege of 3 horses, the Duanhou Song army led by Xiang Qi seemed stretched, but Xiang Qi also knew that he could only give Xiang Chao more opportunities if he bought more time.

The entire battle lasted for nearly three hours before it came to an end. Most of the chariot soldiers were wiped out, tens of thousands of soldiers were captured, and Xiang Qi chose to surrender in desperation, but Xiang Chao still carried the remaining ten soldiers. Several chariots continued to fight.

Meng Diji immediately stepped forward, looked at Xiang Chao whose face was already covered in blood, and began to persuade him.

"Fighting to this point, this king also admires your courage. If you are willing to surrender, then this king can make you a general of Han. Think about it. My patience is limited."

But Xiang Chao smiled coldly, reached out to wipe off the blood on his face, wiped the sword in his hand with his robe, then raised his head, his eyes became very firm, and he spoke loudly.

"Now that it's time for the defeat of the army, what Mengzi wants to acquire is the entire Song Kingdom. As the left teacher, Xiang is already an extremely human minister. After taking refuge in Mengzi, can he still obtain a higher position? "

"And I, Xiang Shi, have a high status in the Song Dynasty. I don't have any pursuits for Xiang. It's just that I'm in a dead end. I just want to die. I just hope that Mengzi can send my body back to Shangqiu for burial. I am very grateful to Xiang. "

After hearing these words, Meng Di nodded slowly, as he agreed, and Xiang Chao brushed his sword lightly with his hand, his face showed nostalgia, then he raised his head to the sky and said loudly.

"I really didn't expect that Xiang would die here. It's just a pity that the lack of ability, the wounded soldiers and the generals, put my country of Song in danger. This is all Xiang's crime!"

After finishing speaking, he put the sword on his neck, sprayed out a smear of blood, fell heavily on the chariot, and cried loudly to the occupant of the nest, the right side of the chariot, and the shooter.

Putting Xiang Chao's body upright on the chariot, they stood on both sides of the chariot, pulled out their swords one after another, and slayed themselves on the spot just like Xiang Chao.

Seeing this scene, Meng Di sighed softly, no matter who is loyal to his master at any time, he is worthy of admiration, maybe Xiang Shi also did a lot of evil things in Song Dynasty, but when faced with the choice of life and death, he still chooses Dayi is also a hero.

After taking a deep breath, Meng Di's face became very solemn, and he turned his head and said to Yu Rang beside him.

"This can be regarded as a person who is loyal to the Song Dynasty. He is a righteous man. They transported their bodies to Shangqiu together. Don't make it too difficult for these people who followed Xiang Chao. Let them choose to stay or stay."

It was getting late, and after cleaning up the battlefield, they were resting on the spot. At this moment, the news of Yang Hu breaking Pengcheng came.

After waiting two days for Yang Hu to arrive, Mengdi left all the captives to Yang Hu and asked him to send them to Xuecheng. After the battle was over, they were escorted to Huaicheng. At the same time, another team also arrived. .

This team is not here to fight, but to buy people's hearts. The main members are those big merchants and those who fled from the Song Dynasty, and they brought a lot of food to stabilize the local people's hearts. .

After entering this great battle, the defenders of Xiao County knew they were invincible and chose to surrender in Kaesong. Meng Di asked Yang Hu to garrison, and he went straight to Shangqiu with his cavalry. At this time, the Lu army had just won Pei County.

After receiving the news that the Han army had captured Xiao County, Shusun Wuji sighed and said to Chufu Gonglian.

"Mengzi used his troops really quickly. It took us a long time to attack a county of Pei. I didn't expect that the Han army had already reached Xiao County. The Han army has such a strong army. It seems that our Lu country will be difficult to resist in the future."

Gong Lianchu's father also showed admiration on his face, he can be regarded as a powerful minister, and since Meng Di first arrived in Lu State, he has been paying attention to this new doctor of Lu State.

Meng Di walked all the way, it can be said that the danger is extremely high, as long as there is a failure and the enemy seizes the opportunity, then there will be no Han country now, but Meng Di has done it, several times in the most dangerous time, with a small Victory.

And cleverly used all kinds of power to seek benefits for himself, and finally became the monarch of a vassal state, which made Chufu Gonglian feel unmatched. Thinking of this, his voice was a little low.

"According to the current development speed of the Han Kingdom, I am afraid that it will not be long before even the Qi Kingdom may not be the opponent of the Han Kingdom, let alone our Lu Kingdom. It is better for the Lord to be friendly to the Marquis of Han in the future."
