Chapter 2630: The princes were shocked by occupying Hanzhong


    Chapter 2627: The princes were shocked by occupying Hanzhong


    Li Yuanba''s full-strength attack would cause Li Cunxiao to be injured even if he was hit, let alone Ma Shanwei.


    Li Yuanba''s hammer not only shattered Ma Shanwei''s armor, heart protection mirror, inner armor, and even his internal organs were broken.


    Ma Shanwei, who turned into a parabola, vomited blood in the air and vomited a lot of broken internal organs. He then smashed heavily on the ground, but still did not die immediately, but was obviously not far from death.


    Looking at Li Yuanba who was stroking, Ma Shanwei, who was so injured that he could not even move, he said angrily, "I regret it."


    When he said this, Ma Shanwei felt like he was playing a slide in his mind, quickly recalling his short life.


    Just because of a little favor, I mistakenly thought that Wang Mang was a hero and helped the evildoer with Wang Mang.


    After being captured alive by the Qin army in the Hebei War, he had the idea of ??surrendering to Qin, but was rescued by Yuan Tiangang who was robbed of prison.


    Under the deception of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, he, who was already weak in will, surrendered to Li Tang in a confused manner.


    But a few years later, Li Tang was also destroyed. He went around for a long time, but was captured by the Qin army again, and finally surrendered to the Qin Dynasty with his fate.


    After surrendering to Qin, Ma Shanwei realized that what Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng said, what he said repeatedly against the Qin army would not be reused, what surrendered generals suffered from discrimination within the Qin army, etc., were all lies.


    Ma Shanwei also regretted this. He regretted that he was not firm in his will and believed the nonsense of Yuan and Li, so that he wasted half of his life, but he still became a surrendered general.


    If he surrendered after the Battle of Hebei and had his ability to survive until the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, even if he could not become a marquis, he should have a place among the Count and Viscount.


    What a pity.


    But just when Ma Shanwei let go of his grudges and was about to show off his skills in the Qin Dynasty, he encountered Li Yuanba in a winning pursuit battle.


    As soon as he thought of this, Ma Shanwei didn''t know whether God was deliberately fooling him or punishing him for his stupidity and indecisiveness.


    The five senses of warriors of Li Yuanba are extremely keen. He can even easily hear the heartbeat of the enemy a hundred meters away. It is naturally not difficult to hear Ma Shanwei''s murmuring.


    "I just regret being a traitor now? It''s too late." Li Yuanba said coldly.


    Ma Shanwei glanced at Li Yuanba and said weakly: "I regret it, no, early, surrender to Qin."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Shanwei spit out a mouthful of black blood, and there were still many internal organ fragments.


    He knew that he would die, but he still endured the pain and said with difficulty: "Everyone from the Li family has no conscience. At the beginning, I was really blind and would actually defect to Li Shimin..."


    Before Ma Shanwei could finish his words, he was hit by the angry Li Yuanba Jingua, his head was blown out and his brain was scattered all over the ground.


    After killing Ma Shanwei, Li Yuanba''s anger was reduced a lot, but his eyes were still full of hatred. After all, he wanted to avenge the Qin Dynasty, and Ma Shanwei was just the beginning.


    Li Yuanba''s eyes fell on his left hand, which was slightly thinner than his right hand.


    This Qilin arm did not originally belong to him, but was cut off from Bu Jingyun, the master of the Great Qin Dynasty, and then picked it up for him.


    Li Yuanba thought that even if he connected this arm, he could only use it for the most basic life, but he did not expect that after he opened the Sanjiao Pulmonary and the meridians of his arm and the body were completely connected, as time passed, the power that this arm could carry became stronger and stronger.


    This also gave Li Yuanba a sense of hope in his heart, feeling that he might still have a chance to return to the top.


    But after this battle, the greater the expectations and disappointment of Li Yuanba was.


    "Sure enough, no matter how well other people''s arms fit, they are still not as good as their own."


    Li Yuanba said softly that the Qilin arm could not bear 100% of his strength, and perhaps the Qi refining could make him continue to become stronger.


    However, his talent for refining energy is not as good as that of body refining. I don’t know if the path of refining energy can bring him back to the top.


    The Qin army had not many troops on the flanks, only 1,500 cavalry, and was mainly maintained by three war gods.


    But now the three war gods are killed and injured, and with only one thousand five hundred cavalry, it is naturally impossible to stop Li Siyuan''s 30,000 army, so the flanks were soon defeated by Li Siyuan''s troops.


    After receiving the news that his flank was defeated and Ma Shanwei died in battle, Yang Jian was naturally shocked. Although victory was approaching, he had to choose to retreat, otherwise he might end up in annihilation of the entire army.


    In order to stop the losses in time and minimize the losses, Yang Jian could only order a retreat. Fortunately, all the cavalry of the Qin army was not entangled with the Shu army, it would be very easy to run away.


    As for the Shu army, under the fierce attack of the Qin army, they were killed on the verge of fear. The Qin army now takes the initiative to retreat. They are not happy after being reborn after the disaster, so why dare to linger?


    Li Siyuan was naturally extremely angry when he saw that the Shu army did not stop the Qin army and let the Qin army retreat so easily, but after thinking about it carefully, he also understood the situation of the Shu army.


    For the Shu army, it is always unsafe as long as it does not withdraw from Dingjun Mountain. Therefore, the most urgent task is not to pursue the Qin army, but to withdraw from Dingjun Mountain first.


    But even though the Qin army retreated, it does not mean that it will withdraw. After all, the Qin army still has the power to fight again.


    If the Qin army was away from the army and adopted guerrilla tactics, as soon as the Shu army retreated, it would pounce on it and bite a few bites, which no one could stand.


    Li Siyuan hurriedly went to meet with Shen Yiqi. After the two sides decided to send all the cavalry to pursue him. This move was not to kill the Qin army, but to completely force the Qin army to retreat.


    As Li Siyuan expected, although Yang Jian ordered a retreat, he did not withdraw completely. Instead, he was preparing to retreat ten miles away to rest and wait for the opportunity to fight again. After all, the Qin army still has the strength to fight again.


    But when he saw the cavalry of the Shu army and Li Siyuan army chased and returned, Yang Jian knew that he had no chance and could only order the withdrawal of Nanzheng.


    In order to prevent accidents from happening and ensure that all the troops in the rear could be withdrawn, Yang Jian and Xuanyuan personally left behind to cut off the rear, and thus encountered Li Yuanba who came to pursue him.


    After seeing each other from a distance, they couldn''t help but look at each other silently. After all, during the period when Li Tang worked together, the relationship between them was still good.


    Yang Jian took the lead in breaking the silence and said indifferently: "What? Don''t you accuse me of betraying Li Tang?"


    As soon as this statement came out, Li Yuanba didn''t know how to reply.


    Among the Tang ministers who rebeled and surrendered to Qin, he could not blame Yang Jian because Yang Jian had no place to be sorry for Li Tang. Instead, the Yang family was destroyed by his second brother Li Shimin. He was sorry for Yang Jian''s sincerity in both emotion and reason. Seeing that Li Yuanba was silent, Yang Jian stopped exchanging ideas with him, so he rode his horse and started fighting with Li Yuanba.


    This battle did not last long. After seeing that all the soldiers on his side were withdrawn, Yang Jian also took the initiative to end the battle. After all, with Liu Er here, it was not realistic to kill Li Yuanba. His purpose was only to test the depth of Li Yuanba. Now that his goal has been achieved, he naturally has to withdraw.


    After Yang Jian withdrew from Nanzheng, he immediately reported to Li Jing about Li Yuanba.


    Li Jing also attached great importance to this and asked with a serious look on his face: "General Yang Jian, how about Li Yuanba now compared to you?"


    After a little hesitation, Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "I am better than him, but if you want to win, it will probably take 400 rounds to open."


    Hearing this, Li Jing had a rough estimate of Li Yuanba''s strength.


    Li Yuanba, who had been connected with his left arm, even if he had not yet recovered to his peak, probably only Li Cunxiao, Yang Jian, Jiang Song and Kong Xuan could defeat him. When other generals met him, they would only end up like Ma Shanwei.


    "Li Tang was destroyed by Shu. Will Li Yuanba surrender to Shu?"


    Li Jing continued to ask again. After all, if Li Yuanba stood on the side of Shu, the high-end combat power of the Yongliang Qin army would not be enough, and he would also apply to the court to add other powerful generals to come to support.


    "I don''t know about this last general, but Li Shimin died at the hands of our army, and Li Yuanba and Li Shimin had the deepest relationship. I think he must hate me, Daqin even more," Yang Jian replied.


    Hearing Yang Jian’s words, Li Jing was still not sure, but he was also prepared to use this as an excuse to ask the court to send a powerful general to the Yongliang Army.


    Which famous general doesn’t want to have many powerful generals under his command? Naturally, Li Jing is the same. Although he already has powerful generals such as Yang Jian, Xuanyuan, and Long Qi under his command, he obviously also wants more powerful generals.


    Even if we can''t win Li Cunxiao this time, we will at least win one or two of them among Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Bu and Gao Chong.


    The powerful generals are scarce and sought-after resources. All major military regions are rushing to seek it. Without the threat of Li Yuanba, Li Jing may not have fought for other military regions. After all, there are already a large number of powerful generals in the Yongliang Military Region.


    Just as the Qin army cleaned the battlefield and counted the results of the battle, the Shu army also retreated to Dingjun Mountain, but the troops were only 20,000 left.


    The three thousand baits that attracted the attention of the Qin army were defeated by Kang Anyu''s thousand iron weapons, and only nearly 300 people fled back to Jiange.


    As for Shen Yiqi''s side, more than 7,000 soldiers were killed in battle.


    As for Li Siyuan''s army''s casualties, they were naturally much smaller, and only lost more than a thousand soldiers.


    But after the Shu army cleaned the battlefield, only 1,500 Qin army bodies were found.


    In other words, although Yang Jian failed in this pursuit, he only lost 1,500 cavalry, but caused 1,100 losses to the Shu army, and even though he was defeated, he was especially successful.


    This is just a pursuit of this battle, and the greater results are still there in Nan Zheng, but it has not been completely counted.


    After receiving the news of breaking Nanzheng, Wang Jian also accelerated his strategy for Wubao in various places, and sent people to lobby for the surrender of other counties.


    After learning about the fall of Nanzheng, the other counties that had not been captured did not resist at all. They took the initiative to open the city and surrender to the Qin army. However, there were no Shu army in the city, and the rest were only a new army composed of strong men.


    On the contrary, the Shu army in Wubao did not believe in the news of the fall of Nanzheng when they died, and still chose to resist stubbornly.


    For such loyalists from Shu Han, Wang Jian naturally sent them directly to the West.


    Soon, the results of the offensive and defensive battle in Nanzheng were also counted.


    Li Jing and Han Xin used 80,000 Qin troops as the attacking side, while the Shu army had 60,000 defenders, 80,000 light and strong, and more than 100,000 people assisted in defending the city, but they still failed to block the Qin army''s offensive.


    In this battle, the Qin army killed a total of 45,000 Shu troops, of which 15,000 Shu troops were the main force, 30,000 light and strong, and 65,000 prisoners, of which 15,000 Shu troops were the main force, 50,000 strong men.


    The Qin army achieved such great results, so naturally it paid an extremely painful price.


    After the war, the Qin army suffered 40,000 casualties, of which 18,000 were directly killed in battle, while the serious injuries were as high as 22,000.


    Among them, there were 15,000 soldiers who could be cured and returned to the army, while there were as many as 7,000 soldiers who could not be cured and disabled.


    In other words, the Qin army lost a total of 25,000 troops in this battle.


    As the attacking party, the number of deaths in the Qin army was less than that of the Shu army. On the surface, the Qin army made a profit, but in fact it still had a small loss.


    After all, the Qin army is all elite, and the Shu army consumed many veterans of the Qin army with just the lightness and strength of Hanzhong, which is naturally very unprofitable.


    Although Li Jing has a high command attribute, he does not have much room for performance in such a siege, so casualties are inevitable.


    These casualties are also the price that has to be paid for quick victory, otherwise Hanzhong Qingzhuang would have been consumed by the Shu army.


    Although the Qin army captured Nanzheng City, its military strength was reduced to 40,000, but Li Jing and Han Xin didn''t care. After all, the Qin army had just experienced expansion and the troops in the rear were sufficient. If the front line was not enough, just transfer it to the next level.


    Li Jing had already transferred 30,000 troops from Yongzhou, but he was still on the way. He had failed to catch up with this battle and Nan Zheng was already defeated by him, so he was not worried about his troops.


    After Li Jing learned that Li Siyuan and the Shu army were frequently mobilized, he did not fully stabilize the situation in Nanzheng, so he immediately led 40,000 troops to attack Dingjun Mountain. However, after he went there, he found that there was only one empty village.


    The Shu army voluntarily gave up Dingjun Mountain and retreated into Jiange. After all, the capture of Nanzheng means that Hanzhong is completely undermined, and it is meaningless to defend Dingjun Mountain.


    After Li Jing left three thousand defenders on Dingjun Mountain, he continued to lead his troops to attack Li Siyuan''s western counties. As a result, Li Siyuan also fled westward into Haizhou, leaving only two empty cities for the Qin army.


    At this point, Hanzhong County was completely under the hands of the Qin army.


    The four countries of Sui, Wei, Song and Ming were shocked when they learned that the Qin army had soon occupied Hanzhong.


    After all, if Hanzhong is in the hands of the Qin army, there will be no worries whether it is to attack the Central Plains eastward or pacify Liangzhou westward.
