"kill!"
Pan Feng muttered to himself, and even though there were tens of thousands of enemy troops in front of him, he remained fearless.
There is a kind of heroic ambition that says, "Even if there are thousands of people against me, I will still go."
Jia Xu said that the emperor wanted him to be defeated so that he could save himself.
But for Pan Feng, in this battle, he couldn't even cut off the enemy's banner.
That was not a deliberate defeat, but a real defeat.
This would be an unacceptable blow to a proud soldier.
He wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Left and right wings, clear the way for this general!"
Pan Feng roared.
With a huge axe in his hand, he chops anyone he sees.
The soldiers of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry were also fearless and fought desperately to keep the approaching Chu army at the periphery.
He used his own blood and bones to carve out a path for Pan Feng.
But the price they paid was very heavy.
Many soldiers were shot down by the enemy and died in battle.
This is war, a war that no one can avoid.
"kill!"
Pan Feng finally arrived in front of the main flag of the Chu army's front camp.
Without saying anything, he chopped him down with an axe.
The big banner broke with a sound.
Seeing this, Pan Feng turned his horse around and shouted, "Retreat! Retreat!"
The Liangzhou cavalry reacted instantly.
They struggled to break out of the encirclement.
In this battle, more than 7,000 of the 15,000 soldiers led by Pan Feng were killed.
There were also two to three thousand people who were seriously injured.
This was the highest number of casualties among Qin soldiers since Ying Yuan personally led the army to fight.
They struggled mightily to break out of the encirclement and leave the Chu camp.
Pan Feng was also injured, with blood flowing from his right arm.
"All troops, listen up! Retreat towards the Yixiantian Valley!"
He stayed behind to cover the retreat.
Ensure that seriously injured soldiers can leave first.
At this time, Wu Qi had already arrived at the front camp.
Seeing the soldiers retreating while Pan Feng continued to fight fiercely with his own soldiers, he frowned and asked, "What's this man's name?"
A Chu soldier responded, "Marshal, this man is Pan Feng, an unrivaled general of the Qin State."
Wu Qi looked at Pan Feng with eyes filled with passion. He felt a love for talent and couldn't help but murmur:
“Sometimes even I cannot help but envy the military fortune of Qin, which has produced so many powerful generals.
"Send a message to the three armies: This man, I want to keep alive. Trading a great banner for a powerful general is a deal that is worth it!"
The next moment, he personally led his army to chase Pan Feng.
When Wu Qi learned that the enemy was going to retreat towards the Yixiantian Gorge, he burst into laughter and said:
"Pan Feng obviously knew that I had stationed troops along the two main roads outside Hangu Pass, so he wanted to withdraw from the direction of Yixiantian.
But that place is too narrow, and it is impossible for thousands of people to evacuate all at once. I swear to get Pan Feng!"
He is right.
Even though Jia Xu had already ambushed in the Yixiantian Valley.
However, if the Qin army's soldiers did not distance themselves from the Chu army immediately, but instead fought with them.
Then, any ambush set by Jia Xu would be of no avail.
Because he couldn't shoot arrows at his own soldiers.
Pan Feng was well aware of this, so before arriving at the Yixiantian Valley, he announced to all the soldiers, "I will stay here to guard the area myself. You must evacuate immediately!"
As soon as the words fell.
Many Liangzhou Iron Cavalry soldiers stared with wide eyes. One of them clasped his fists and said, "General, go first!"
"General, go first!"
The next moment, they shouted in unison.
Pan Feng frowned deeply as he looked at the Chu army that was about to catch up behind him. "There's no time left. You guys go first! I'll cover your retreat! Go! Are you going to disobey military orders?"
It was not until he brought out the military order that those people left unwillingly.
The Yitiantian Canyon is indeed very narrow, and only two or three people can walk side by side.
If they were cavalry, they could only move one by one unless there was a crowd.
This wastes a lot of time.
Pan Feng turned his horse around and looked at the pursuing Chu army. There was no fear in his eyes, only the burning passion of war.
Wu Qi sat on his horse and stretched out his hand, and the army behind him immediately reined in their horses and stopped.
At this moment, a Chu army officer asked in confusion, "Marshal, we can't hesitate! Otherwise, those Qin troops will escape!"
Wu Qi laughed and said, "If we can capture this person, what's the harm in letting these defeated soldiers go?"
There are two main reasons why he was able to chase all the way here.
First, he really liked Pan Feng and wanted to recruit her for his own use.
Second, he guessed the real intention of the Qin army's visit, which was nothing more than to cut off their own banner and cause the army's morale to drop.
Once the Qin reinforcements arrive, the declining morale will be enough to determine the outcome of a war.
However, he believed that if he could capture Pan Feng, all the efforts would be worth it.
"General Pan, you have nowhere to escape! I admire your bravery. If you surrender to me, I will report to the Emperor of Great Chu and ask him to treat you with favor. What do you think, General?"
Wu Qi looked at Pan Feng and spoke loudly.
In fact, in Ying Yuan's previous life, Wu Qi had a reputation for loving his soldiers like his own sons.
If he saw that brave soldier, he would deliberately cultivate him so that the other soldiers would have a competitive mentality.
However, although Wu Qi was good at commanding troops, his character seemed to be not very good.
However, in that era when real men were not particular about trivial matters, as long as a person had ability, his character did not matter.
