At the same time, when Meng Wu and Sima Geng each sent 15,000 troops to the north of the Chu army's camp, the Chu army also discovered the traces of the Qin army.
"Report, Chun Shenjun, we have discovered a Qin army one kilometer north of our camp.”
In the camp of Chun Shenjun's army, a soldier reported to Huang Xie.
"Qin army?" Chun Shenjun, Huang Xie, and the generals of Chu were all shocked when they heard this.
They didn't expect the Qin army to arrive so quickly. Before they could set up the defense line according to plan, the Qin army had already appeared near their camp.
"How many people are there? Who is the commander?" Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie asked.
"I don't know the exact number, but there are about thirty to forty thousand people. On the commander's flag are the words 'Meng' and 'Sima'.”The soldier reported.
"Meng? Sima? Could it be Meng Ao and Sima Geng from the Qin Country?”Those Chu generals couldn't help but think to themselves.
"Send someone to the Wei camp to find out the situation first.”Chun Shenjun ordered the guards beside him.
Although the soldiers came to report that there were only 30,000 to 40,000 Qin troops, he felt that things were not that simple. He decided to figure out the specific situation of the Qin army before deciding. Otherwise, if he rashly attacked, it would not be good if he fell into the trap of the Qin army.
However, it didn't take long before the people they sent out came back with news that the Qin army in the north had sealed off the passage. They couldn't pass through at all, let alone go to the Wei army's camp to gather information.
However, the sounds of battle could be heard from afar. It was obvious that the Wei army and the Qin army had already begun fighting.
Not to mention the scouts that were sent out, even the Chu army camp could hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. It could be seen how fierce the battle between the Wei and Qin armies was.
"General, should we go and rescue the Wei army?”Someone stood up and asked Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie.
The other generals of the Chu army also turned their gazes to Huang Xie.
"The Wei Kingdom is an ally after all. If we allow these 100,000 Wei troops to be wiped out by the Qin army, then we can only return empty-handed. At that time, it will be difficult to stop the Qin army.”
"So, we still have to save him."
"How about this, General Xiang, you lead 50,000 troops north and test the strength of the Qin army before making a decision.”
Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie thought for a while before speaking.
Since he could save the Wei army, he naturally wanted to save the Wei army as well.
However, the prerequisite was that he could not let his 100,000 Chu soldiers take the risk.
"Yes, this general will obey!" A general of the Chu army in front of him bowed and accepted the order.
After that, they gathered 50,000 soldiers and left the Chu army camp, heading straight for the 30,000 Qin soldiers to the north of their camp.
The 30,000 Qin soldiers were originally there to prevent the Chu army from joining forces with the Wei army. Their goal was to prevent the Chu army from joining forces with the Wei army, not to fight the Chu army to the death.
Thus, the 30,000 Qin soldiers found a high ground with a dangerous terrain to defend.
Soon, the 50,000 Chu soldiers began to attack the 30,000 Qin soldiers.
On a high ground at the rear of the battlefield, Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie led a group of men and observed the situation of the battle between the Chu and Qin armies.
He was observing whether there was a chance to rescue the Wei army.
"General, the Qin army has always been on the defensive. They are probably afraid that we will meet up with the Wei army.”Behind Huang Xie, a general of the Chu army couldn't help but ask.
"I don't think there are many Qin troops here. Why don't we concentrate our forces and attack? Perhaps we can really break through the blockade of the Qin army and join up with the Wei army.”Another general of the Chu Country suggested.
They could only see the situation in front of them and knew nothing about the situation at the Wei camp.
However, seeing that there weren't many Qin soldiers here, they felt that they could break through the defense of the Qin army.
"Let's see!" Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie said cautiously.
After a long while, Huang Xie saw that there were indeed no other Qin troops coming to support him. He felt that there should be no ambush, so he ordered,"Pass down the order, all troops are to reinforce the Wei army!”
He felt that he had to give it a try. If it really didn't work, he could just retreat.
"Understood!" The general behind Huang Xie bowed and accepted the order.
……
"Reporting, Great General, the Chu army in the south has begun to move out. They have already engaged the 30,000 Qin army.”
Just as the Chu army decided to reinforce the Wei army, a Qin soldier came to report to Bai Qisheng.
"Has the Chu army finally attacked?" Bai Qi muttered softly before raising his head to look at the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield was basically in favor of the Qin army. The overall situation was set.
"Wang He, I'll leave this battlefield to you.”Bai Qi said to Wang He.
"Yes, sir!" Wang He bowed.
"Pass down the order, draw out thirty thousand Qin cavalry!”Baiqi continued.
Then, the messenger behind him moved. Not long after, 30,000 cavalrymen appeared in front of Bai Qi.
"Follow me!" Baiqi gave the order and led the 30,000 cavalry south, heading straight for the battlefield between the Chu and Qin armies.
As long as the Chu army did not break through the Qin army's defense, it was only a matter of time before the Wei army was annihilated.
Therefore, the key to this battle was where Qin Chu was fighting.
At this moment, the battle between the Qin army and the Chu army had entered an extremely intense state.
Although the Qin army had the geographical advantage, the Chu army also had the numerical advantage. This made the Qin army's battle extremely difficult.
The entire battlefield was extremely tragic. Both the Qin and Chu armies suffered heavy casualties. The ground was covered with the corpses of the Qin and Chu armies, and their blood dyed the ground red.
Seeing that the Qin army was about to collapse and that the Chu army was about to break through the blockade, the sound of hooves and battle cries suddenly came from behind the Qin army.
"It's the Qin army!"
"Reinforcements are here!"
"It's the Great General!"
"The Great General has brought reinforcements!"
"Great General is mighty, the Qin army will definitely win!”
……
The Qin soldiers who were fighting couldn't help but turn around and see that it was their own people, especially when they saw the word "Bai" written on the commander's flag.
Instantly, the Qin soldiers couldn't help but cheer.
The morale of the entire Qin army rose once again.
With the Great General around, they were confident that they would win this battle!
"The Qin reinforcements are here!"
"It's, it's Baiqi's army!"
……
In the Chu army camp, Chun Shenjun and the generals thought that they would break through the Qin defense line soon, but they didn't expect another Qin army to appear behind them.
Especially when they saw the word "Bai" on the commander's flag, they couldn't help but be shocked.
The Great General of the Qin Country, Baiqi, had personally brought his army here.
No wonder Chun Shenjun felt that this tactic of splitting up the Chu and Wei armies was so familiar. It turned out that it was the Great General of the Qin Country, Baiqi, personally commanding the battle.
"The Wei army is finished!" When Chun Shenjun, Huang Xie, and the Chu generals saw Baiqi appear, they knew that the 100,000 strong Wei army was finished.
"Pass down my order. Leave one army behind to cover the rear. The rest of the army will retreat!”Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie said decisively.
With Bai Qi here, it was impossible for the Chu army to reinforce the Wei army. If things went wrong, the 100,000 Chu soldiers might all die here.
He knew Baiqi's fighting style the best, and it was basically to wipe out the enemy.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Soon, the Chu army retreated like a tide.
When the Qin army, who was fighting the Chu army, saw this, they were slightly stunned.
They didn't expect the Chu army to run away after hearing the news.
"Great General is mighty! The Qin country is mighty!" The Qin army cheered again.
"All soldiers, listen up!”
Bai Qi was also slightly stunned. He did not expect the Chu army to retreat the moment he appeared. They did not even fight.
Although the Chu army had given the order to retreat, Baiqi had no intention of letting them go. Since they were already here, they could forget about escaping.
Baiqi immediately gave the order to pursue the Chu army.
"Kill!" After receiving the order, the Qin army shouted and chased after the Chu army.
The Chu army's heads were all merit points. How could they let them go?
The Qin army rushed towards the Chu army and started a massacre.
