Chapter 364: Soldiers Enter Yongdu

A battle on the banks of the Jing River ended with the victory of the Wei army.

As the loser of this battle, the Qin army, which suffered heavy losses, could no longer stop the main force of the Wei army from advancing westward.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Gong Ying Quliang had no choice but to lead the remaining 70,000 Qin troops to retreat westward.

Not only that, with the retreat of the main force of the Qin army on the front line, Yongcheng, the capital of Qin, which was originally under the threat of Wei cavalry, may become an isolated city at any time.

Seeing that the war situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to his side, Qin Gong Ying Quliang could only order Zheng Sheng, the senior official who was firmly guarding Yongdu, to lead his army to abandon the ancient capital of Qin.

At this point, it was only a matter of time before Yongdu, the city that had been the capital of the Qin State for more than 200 years, fell into the hands of the Wei army.

In addition to having no choice but to abandon the capital, Qin Gong Ying Quliang's journey back to the west with his army was also not smooth sailing.

The Qin army, which finally retreated from the front line of Jingshui, was attacked by the Wei cavalry from the direction of Yongcheng.

Under the clattering hooves of the Wei cavalry, another 20,000 Qin troops died or fled. Ying Quliang had no choice but to drag the remaining Qin troops back to Longxi.

The Qin army was defeated like a mountain and retreated again and again, but after the victory, the Wei army made great progress.

After defeating the main force of the Qin army from the front and successfully crossing the Jing River, Qin no longer had the ability to stop Wei's army of more than 100,000.

General Pang Juan of Wei pointed his sword westward, and the main force of the Wei army divided into three groups and continued to advance toward the hinterland of the central and western parts of Qinguan Pass.

Among the three armies, the North Route Army was responsible for capturing the cities in the northern part of Guanzhong and south of the Great Wall. The South Route Army was responsible for capturing Duxian, Lantian and the Qin territory further south. The Middle Route Army marched westward along the Weishui River to the western part of Qin.

The important town of Chencang.

As for the main general of the army, General Pang Juan joined forces with Sima Sun Boling and relied on the speed of the cavalry to take Yongcheng, the capital of Qin, in a short time.



"Woo..."

The long horn sound sounded, and the red figures appeared again outside Yongdu City, the capital of Qin State.

However, compared with a few days ago, the capital of Qin, which was originally heavily guarded, has now become an empty city with its doors open due to the withdrawal of the defenders.

Riding on a magnificent war horse, looking at Yongdu City not far away, Pang Juan couldn't help but feel a touch of winner's pride on his face.

He raised his riding whip lightly and pointed at Yongcheng, and heard Pang Juan say loudly: "In the past, Duke Ao of Jin defeated the Qin army, chased it to Jingshui, then withdrew his troops and returned. It is a pity that he failed to succeed."

"Now that the capital of the Qin Kingdom for more than 200 years is about to fall into the hands of our army, it is really a happy thing."

"Berling, what do you think?"

Faced with the complacency of his senior brother Pang Juan at this time, and facing the capital of Qin that was about to be acquired, Sun Boling also had a smile on his face despite his always cautious and prudent personality.

"What senior brother said is absolutely true."

"In this battle, our army was able to defeat the Qin army and capture Yongcheng, the capital of Qin. Senior brother is really the one who deserves the most credit."

Sun Boling's praise made the smile on Pang Juan's face brighter, and he replied with a smile: "How could our army achieve such a great victory without Boling's plan?"

After the brothers praised each other, Pang Juan and Sun Boling looked at each other, and a burst of hearty laughter broke out between them.

When the laughter gradually subsided and he took another look at the solid city walls of Yongdu, Sun Boling's expression became solemn.

"General, enter the city."

"Um."

A solemn look appeared in his eyes, and the sword at Pang Juan's waist was immediately unsheathed.

"Send my order to the entire army..."

"Enter the city."

"Here!"

Riding horses and marching among the army, Pang Juan and Sun Boling passed through the city gate and entered Yongdu City.

Long before the main force of the army entered the city, a Wei soldier was already standing on both sides of the streets in Yongdu City, and behind these Wei soldiers holding halberds was a Qin man.

While walking on the streets of Yongcheng, Sun Boling subconsciously looked at the surrounding scenery, and this made his heart, which had been excited just now, suddenly sink.

What fell into Sun Boling's field of vision were pairs of different eyes, and some of these eyes contained fear, some contained disgust, and some were clearly naked hatred.

With some complicated emotions, Sun Boling and his senior brother Pang Juan came to the original official residence of the Yongdu Order of Qin State.

"General, Yongdu has been the capital of Qin for more than two hundred years, and the hearts of the people in the city still belong to Qin."

"Although our army captured Yongdu this time, if we are negligent and slack because of this, the consequences may be disastrous."

"exactly."

Sun Boling's serious reminder immediately made Pang Juan alert, "Boling, what do you think we should do?"

"First, post the document immediately to calm the people of Yongdu; second, we must strictly order the officers and soldiers not to cause trouble."

"Okay, let's do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Juan was about to go to the desk and write some documents when a report sounded outside the door.

"Report..."

"Report to General, Sima, about the military situation of the Central Route Army."

Sun Boling hurried forward and took the bamboo slip from the hand of the ordering soldier. This sight made his face suddenly darken.

"General, the army on the middle route is blocked in Xi County."



"Your Majesty has arrived..."

In Anyi, the capital of Wei State, hundreds of miles away from Yongcheng, courtiers wearing red official uniforms stood in the main hall.

Amidst the loud sound of the trumpet, the Marquis of Wei, Wei Feng, dressed in a red robe of a prince, slowly walked into the hall.

Step by step, he walked past the courtiers on both sides, and finally stood on the steps in front of the hall. The smile on Wei Feng's face today could not be suppressed.

The battle report on the Jingshui front line had just been sent to Wei Feng. When he saw Pang Juan leading the army to defeat the main force of the Qin army and marching westward, Wei Feng roared.

"God bless Wei!"

The victory of the decisive battle between Qin and Wei on the banks of the Jing River not only established Wei's absolute advantage over Qin, but also meant that Wei's hegemony would be further advanced.

Without the restraint of Qin, a powerful enemy in the west, Wei, which had cleared its retreat, could more easily deal with the threats from Qi in the east and Chu in the south.

After slightly calming down the excitement in his heart, Wei Feng slowly raised the battle report from the front line against Qin in front of the courtiers in the main hall.

"Gentlemen, this is the battle report sent back by the general. Our army..."

"Victory!"

Wei Feng's almost roaring words sounded in the hall, followed by the shouts of the courtiers below like a landslide.

"The Wei Dynasty lasts for ten thousand years, and the king lasts for ten thousand years!"

"The Wei Dynasty lasts for ten thousand years, and the king lasts for ten thousand years!"

"The Wei Dynasty lasts for ten thousand years, and the king lasts for ten thousand years!"



After a while, when the cheers in the court gradually subsided, Wei Feng looked at the ministers below and solemnly announced a message.

"Two days later, I will go west to Yongcheng to comfort the soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle."
Chapter completed!
