It is said that more than 76,000 Qin troops have gathered together at this moment and slowly retreated towards Wuguan.
The black flag of the Qin army covered the sky and the sun.
The Qin soldiers were happy and looking forward to it - at this speed, they would be able to get back to Wuguan probably tonight or tomorrow morning!
Wuguan has a warm house, plenty of firewood, and plenty of food... After I go back, I'll take a hot bath first, then have a nice meal, and then have a sound sleep with peace of mind... Oh my god! Just thinking about it makes me happy!
Although they are withdrawing their troops and are technically defeated... many Qin soldiers have happy smiles on their faces.
What does a temporary failure mean?
The land of Danyang is abandoned now just to shorten the supply line of the Qin army... Just wait until spring begins and then take it back!
After the beginning of spring, the ice and snow melted... Why did the 50,000 to 60,000 Chu troops on the opposite side dare to confront the Qin army?
Even if the 50,000 infantrymen on our side don't take action - the 25,000 remaining elite cavalry alone can still defeat those slow-moving Chu State fools, running away, crying for their fathers and mothers, and pissing themselves off!
Our Great Qin cavalry are so awesome!
We are so confident!
Chu army? Laughing to death, a weak Chu man dares to claim hegemony? How dare you.
When spring comes, you can have your juice!
…
"What did you say!?" Bai Qi's face was as ferocious as an angry ghost.
"Reporting to your Majesty... Wuguan has been lost! Xiong... Mi Liang personally led a surprise attack and captured Wuguan last night!" The injured and defeated soldiers who escaped in embarrassment looked miserable, with many people suffering from wounds on their faces and bodies. With blood stains formed into light red ice crystals.
Bai Qi almost suspected that he heard wrongly!
"Wuguan? Wuguan was lost?" Qin General Wang Lu on the side widened his eyes in shock!
Wang Hao took three steps at a time, rushed over, grabbed the wounded soldier by the neck, and asked viciously again and again: "Are you talking about Wuguan? The Wuguan that guards the Shangyu main road?"
The wounded soldier was shaken to pieces by Wang Hao, and he could only nod his head with difficulty.
Wang Hao gradually relaxed his grip on the wounded soldier's fingers. Finally, he let go of his hand with blank eyes, blankly took off the iron helmet on his head, and sat down on the ground.
The rest of the generals were also in despair...
All the generals of the Qin army were numb!
Wuguan? How could Wuguan be lost?
This unscientific!
For hundreds of years, Wuguan, which stood on the only traffic artery in Shangyu Mountain, had never been directly attacked by the Chu people! In the minds of the Qin people, Wuguan is the unbreakable southern gate of the old Qin Dynasty! Invincible existence!
The enemy may be able to break through Hangu Pass, but they can never break through Wugu Pass!
Why...why was it captured by the Chu army this time?
Bai Qi, who had always been calm, had dull eyes at the moment——
Wuguan is built on the mountain, with high mountains and dense forests, and excellent terrain... It can truly be said that 'one man can guard the pass, and ten thousand people can't open it'.
Moreover, Bai Qi also attached great importance to Wuguan - Wuguan was the only retreat for the Qin army. Even though it was almost impossible for the Chu army to reach the gate of Wuguan, Bai Qi chose to leave a heavy defense at Wuguan.
A total of ten thousand Qin troops!
The Qin general guarding Wuguan was also Sima An, who was known as "cautious and prudent". It should be noted that within the Qin army, it has always been recognized that Sima An has the style of his father. Bai Qi completely believed that with Sima An here, Wuguan would be impregnable.
Perfect terrain, sufficient defenders, and cautious generals.
It was actually broken by Xiong Wuliang!
What method did he use? Why can we break through Wuguan? Or to take a step back - why did he arrive at Wuguan earlier than the retreating Qin army?
Blanch!
Wang Hao was the first to come to his senses, with a solemn expression on his face, and he immediately raised his hands and admonished: "Young Master Zao - the matter is over, now is not the time to worry about what conspiracy and trick the Chu army used to break through Wuguan."
"The top priority is to recapture Wuguan as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, our 76,000-strong army will be in danger!"
The rest of the Qin army generals were also horrified - the Qin army's food and baggage supplies were at the bottom, and the retreat was cut off again... If Wuguan cannot be opened as soon as possible, then 76,000 Qin troops will be trapped in the cold wind. Died of cold and exhaustion!
All the generals called for battle: "Young Master Zao, we must recapture Wuguan as soon as possible!"
"The last general is willing to lead five thousand troops and be the vanguard of the army!"
"The last general only needs 3,000 soldiers and horses, and we must rush to attack Wuguan!"
…
To everyone's expectation, Bai Qi pondered silently, and finally shook his head slowly...
All the generals were confused!
Why aren't you in a hurry? ?
Don’t you want to seize the martial arts pass? Waiting to die?
A Qin general said anxiously: "Young Master, why should you be disheartened? Our army still has a chance! As long as we recapture Wuguan..."
At this critical moment, Bai Qi actually smiled freely: "Everyone - although Xiong Wuliang is cunning and despised... he is indeed quite capable of using troops."
"Since he has captured Wuguan and firmly blocked our army's retreat, he is confident enough to hold Wuguan under the fierce attack of our army."
"Frankly speaking, his confidence is not unreasonable - the terrain of Wuguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the city's reserves of arrows, ordnance, and food are sufficient... Seizing Wuguan quickly is easier said than done."
All the generals of the Qin army were silent.
This is indeed the truth.
The army returns to the defense, the siege fails, the food and grass are cut off, and they die of cold and exhaustion... This is the script that Xiong Wuliang has designed.
Is there really nothing we can do? Do we really have no choice but to wait for death... Do we have to surrender? impossible! General Da Qin will never surrender to the inferior Chu barbarians!
Bai Qi looked at the dejected and ashen-faced generals of the Qin army, and suddenly smiled again, his pride rising sharply: "Everyone, why should you lower your heads and be dejected? This battle is not over yet!"
"Since we can't go back, then we won't go back!"
"Get the map!"
The Qin soldier next to him handed over the map, Bai Qi pointed with his big hand, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I have an army of 76,000 people. Looking at the vastness of the world, where can't I go?"
"Since Mi Liang'er has blocked the way back, why should our army run into it and ask for trouble? According to the general's intention - penetrate directly into the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom! Loot food and supplies on the spot! Attack the capital of Ying!"
No more defense! Change home!
We must not follow the script designed by Xiong Wuliang and be led by Mi Liang's children!
Xiong Wuliang is really awesome, he was able to win Wuguan unexpectedly... but he wants to win so easily? Let my army smash their heads and bleed at Wuguan Pass? Don't even think about it!
Bai Qi's eyes sparkled, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Give me the order to change the direction of the entire army! The rear team will change to the front team!"
"First defeat the pursuing troops! Then follow my general and penetrate directly into the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom!"
"If you want to avoid starving to death, hurry up! Grab food when we get to Chu!"
Xiong Wuliang, this showdown is not over yet!
I'm going to stab Yingdu, how can you still keep your composure?
Now I leave the problem to the Chu army... I want to see - will you choose to return to defense?
I, Bai Qi, will definitely defeat you in this battle! Prove to the world that there is only one invincible general in the world!
