The Qin army quickly approached Kang Hou Pass. The elite cavalry of Zhao began to harass the Qin army to slow them down. The two armies had casualties. The entire battlefield seemed to be divided into two sides that did not interfere with each other.
Barter led the Yue's cavalry to chase after the Qin's cavalry towards the south. The slower Qin's cavalry were killed by the Yue's cavalry. The Yue's cavalry controlled the rhythm very well. They chased the Qin's cavalry together. Many of the Qin's cavalry began to kill each other in order to escape. In the end, the Qin's cavalry became more and more chaotic. The number of Qin's cavalry killed by the Yue's cavalry was not as many as the number of Qin's cavalry killed by the Yue's cavalry.
When the rear army of Qin saw more and more cavalry enter the rear formation, they started to worry. However, as their own people, they had to enter the rear army. When a group of more than a hundred cavalry threw away their armor and returned to the rear army, the general of the rear army realized that he could not let these defeated soldiers enter the formation casually. If the rear army's formation was broken, all the provisions and siege weapons they brought would be destroyed by the enemy. At that time, Bai Qi would definitely punish him.
After the general of the rear army of Qin sent the message that all cavalry were forbidden to enter the formation, someone quickly reported that some cavalry started to cause trouble and forced their way in. Before the general of the rear army could react, a soldier reported that many cavalry groups had entered the rear army. He quickly organized the soldiers of the rear army to prepare to resist.
The rear army of Qin organized the formation and prepared to block all the defeated Qin cavalry outside the formation. At first, when he talked to the defeated soldiers, they could control themselves. However, as more and more Qin cavalry escaped into the rear army's formation, they could not control the situation anymore. A large number of Qin cavalry rushed to the rear army.
The general of the rear army of Qin was not a mediocre person. When he saw the situation, he shouted to guide the defeated cavalry to escape to his sides. Some Qin cavalry obeyed the order of the general and started to cross the rear army of Qin to escape to the south. However, there were more and more Qin cavalry in the rear army of Qin.
"General, there are ten thousand enemy cavalry behind us. The cavalry that escaped to the south has been driven back!" The messenger came to the general of the rear army of Qin and shouted.
"Tell all the fleeing cavalry to kill anyone who comes close to the rear army.
If anyone comes within a hundred meters of the rear army, just shoot. No need to report, "the general of the rear army of Qin shouted.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a defensive formation of the rear army had been broken through by the fleeing cavalrymen of the Qin State. The cavalrymen of the Qin State, who had no way to retreat, began to rush in this direction. The entire rear army was in chaos. Seeing so many cavalrymen rushing in, many soldiers of the rear army could only retreat.
"Everyone, organize and defend in place. You can't step back. Those who violate the order will be killed!" The commander of the rear army of the Qin State shouted.
The rear of the Qin army that had not been affected by the cavalry started to organize a defense. But more and more Qin soldiers were fleeing from the north. The gap was expanding rapidly. At this time, they could see the pursuing Yue cavalry.
The cavalry of the Yue family followed behind the cavalry of the Qin State. Seeing that there were many gaps in the Qin State, they drove all the cavalry of the Qin State into the gaps. Then, they rushed all the way to the rear of the Qin State. Soon, the entire rear of the Qin State was in chaos.
The 100,000 Qin soldiers saw that there was nothing they could do. They sped up and approached Kang Hou Pass. Only by taking down Kang Hou Pass would they be able to turn the situation around. The elite cavalry of Zhao saw this and also sped up their harassment of the Qin soldiers. The faster the Qin soldiers moved, the more flaws there were in the formation. More and more soldiers were fighting.
Bai Qi saw that the rear of the Qin army was in chaos. The five charges of the Yue family cavalry had caused the rear of the Qin army to lose all resistance. Nearly 200,000 soldiers were being driven north by the Yue family cavalry.
He knew that if he didn't act now, the entire army would be destroyed when they got close to the Qin army. Thus, he flew into the sky with many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Seeing them come to the rescue might be able to regain some courage.
Lian Po was at Kang Hou Pass when he saw that Bai Qi was anxious. He smiled and flew into the sky with several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Zhao. How could he let the Qin State cultivators attack and destroy the advantage that Zhao had worked so hard to gain?
The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Zhao were entangled with the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Qin. Unexpectedly, the battle had already begun.
The Yue Family cavalry led by Barter was charging at the back of the Qin army that had not yet fallen into chaos. The Yue Family cavalry was lethal to the Qin army that didn't even have armor. After killing a few elite groups of the Qin army, the entire Qin army followed the cavalry and fled to the north. The Yue Family cavalry burned all of the Qin army's provisions and siege weapons in a big fire.
A few Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Qin broke free from the entanglement of the Zhao Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. They came to the sky and looked at the fire, but it was useless. The Qin army's defeat was set. Soon, the fastest Qin cavalry arrived in front of the Qin army. They saw the Qin army stop and point their spears at them. They didn't dare to move forward and began to form teams on both sides of the Qin army.
Bai Qi looked at the countless soldiers closing in on the Qin army and knew that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators couldn't change the situation of the battle. Thus, he brought the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators back to the Qin army and ordered all the Qin soldiers to gather together. They couldn't let the scattered soldiers break through the Qin army's formation. Otherwise, they would completely lose this battle.
"From the beginning, I said that the surrendered soldiers were not reliable. If it were only 100,000 of us, we would have already taken Kang Houguan!
These surrendered soldiers should all be killed! "A general of the State of Qin could not help but say when he saw more and more defeated soldiers running towards them.
"There is a reason why General Bai and the king are willing to accept their surrender. All teams, guard your positions. If any of the defeated soldiers come in, kill them!"
A Qin general gave the order, and the messengers quickly passed down the order to every team. The 100,000 Qin soldiers stared at the defeated soldiers. If they dared to get close, they would attack.
At this moment, the Yue cavalry was still chasing after the defeated Qin soldiers. More and more of the defeated soldiers gathered around the Qin army. Because of the space, some of the defeated soldiers began to fight among themselves. The defeated soldiers were being pushed closer to the Qin army's formation by the people behind them. They couldn't stop even if they wanted to.
When the Qin army saw this, they could only shoot arrows as a warning, but the warning was useless. Some of the defeated soldiers were shot and injured. Cries of pain came from the Qin army, but they were still being pushed closer to the Qin army's formation.
"General Bai, the defeated soldiers have already escaped to the edge of the formation. What should we do now?" a messenger reported. A few generals stood beside Bai Qi, waiting for his orders.
Bai Qi calmly said, "Everyone, as long as you get close to the Qin army's formation, kill them!"
When the messenger heard this, he quickly went to pass the message. No matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice. If the 100,000 Qin soldiers were defeated, the Qin army's advantage would be gone.
Countless Qin soldiers raised their spears. When the defeated soldiers were pushed to the edge of their shield formation, the first row of shields suddenly fell. Countless spears stabbed out, and the defeated soldiers were stabbed and fell in front of the formation.
However, this still couldn't stop the defeated soldiers. They began to approach the Qin army from all directions. In front of the Qin army's formation, there was a pile of corpses half the height of a man. In order to defend the formation, they could only retreat slowly. The defeated soldiers didn't give a single step and continued to be pushed forward. Finally, a gap appeared in the Qin army's formation. Countless people fled towards the gap. They thought they could survive if they escaped into the formation, but they were quickly killed by the Qin soldiers in the formation.
The Qin army was determined not to save anyone. As long as they opened a gap, it wouldn't be so easy to defend.
"The Qin army is brutal. Brothers, let's fight. We will die either way!"
A general of the defeated army saw more and more defeated soldiers coming. Even if they wanted to turn around and fight the Yue cavalry, they couldn't do it. Seeing everyone die row by row under the spears of the Qin army, he began to organize his soldiers to attack the Qin army. For a time, the Qin army's formation was broken in many places.
A Qin soldier had already stabbed several defeated soldiers to death, but he still couldn't stop the defeated soldiers from approaching. He saw that the area around him had been broken. Some of the defeated soldiers rushed into the Qin army's formation and started to fight with the Qin army. His comrades around him also fell one by one. After stabbing another defeated soldier to death, he saw that he was surrounded by enemies. Even so, he still obeyed Bai Qi's order. He picked up a broadsword on the ground and stopped the defeated soldiers from advancing. However, the defeated soldiers were too strong, and he couldn't kill many people.
The Yue cavalry kept chasing the defeated soldiers of the Qin army out of the Qin army's formation. Then, they started to chase the fleeing soldiers.
The Zhao army was the same. When they saw a large group of fleeing soldiers, they went to stop them. In the end, it became the Yue cavalry and the Zhao army chasing the 100,000 strong army to kill the Qin army. The entire area outside Kanghou Pass was filled with the sounds of killing.
A large number of Qin soldiers were drowned in the sea of defeated soldiers. However, when the Qin army stood firm, they started to move and focus on killing the defeated soldiers. The advantage was quickly established. The Qin army formed a formation and started to chase the defeated soldiers in all directions. When they escaped to the outskirts, they were chased by the Yue cavalry and the Zhao army for a while.
Lian Po saw that the Qin army was able to quickly and decisively kill the routed army and was filled with admiration for Bai Qi. In just half a day, more than half of the 200,000 routed army had been killed or injured. The surviving routed soldiers began to learn from the Qin army and look for allies to form a defense. Even when the Yue cavalry and the Zhao cavalry charged, they did not retreat a single step. Even so, the Qin army did not attack them. After half a day of killing, order began to appear.
It wasn't until the sky turned dark that the battlefield gradually quieted down.
In today's battle, more than 40,000 Qin soldiers died. Less than 3,000 soldiers survived. Most of the war horses had been captured by the Zhao army.
About 100,000 of the 150,000 logistics soldiers died. The battlefield was filled with soldiers who died in all kinds of ways. No one was going to deal with them.
