Although General Wang Lu's arrangement was considered sophisticated and comprehensive, in the end General Wang Lu's series of command operations were nothing more than remedial measures for General Ying Xin's mistakes.
But just like a patch on clothes, no matter how artistic you are, it cannot change the fact that the clothes have holes.
By the time Wang Qi's troops rushed out of the valley, the valley was already full of scorched corpses. Even standing at the mouth of the valley, one could easily smell the smell of burning corpses. However, the Zhao army on the hillside had long since disappeared. Even before the Qin army set out from the camp, the Zhao army had already embarked on its return journey without any hesitation.
Wang Qi then released the detective horse into the forest. Although the detective horse informed that there was no trace of Zhao Jun in the forest, Wang Qi still obeyed the order and did not dare to step into the valley. Without him, he was afraid that this would be another trap of Zhao Jun. This also explains from one side. The success of Zhao Kuo's "encirclement and reinforcement" campaign.
After another half an hour, Wang Hao finally arrived slowly with 30,000 infantry. After asking about the situation, Wang Hao immediately deployed his infantry to search along the ridge line. At the same time, the cavalry slowly entered the valley, searching. survivor.
As soon as everyone turned the corner at the mouth of the valley, they were stunned by the scene inside.
What a scene like purgatory on earth!
The originally lush mountain forest was passed over by the claws of the fire demon, and the green turned into ink. The fertile land was cracked by the heat wave. The shrubs and turf had long since disappeared. Only mummies lay scattered in it. Take a closer look. Go, almost every face is filled with desperate struggle.
A handful of green smoke slowly climbed up from the cracked earth and charred corpses, slowly accumulated over the valley, and was quietly blown away by the cool morning breeze.
Looking up slowly along the green smoke, on the hillside, countless blackened "sculptures" stood quietly, silently telling a touching story.
The fire demon's claws stretched out wantonly, and the robes were burned, and the black armor and the long knife in his hand were also burned in the fire; smoke and dust were everywhere, going straight into the nostrils, heart and lungs, and the thick black smoke was even more intense. Cover everything in front of you...
However, under such circumstances, the long sword in his hand was already clenched, his mouth opened wide, trying to absorb a little more air, and his body still maintained a charging posture, trying to use the sword in his hand to pierce the siege of Zhao Jun for those who came after him. . Unfortunately, the ruthless arrows pierced his chest again, and finally turned into a charging charred corpse in the flames, standing between heaven and earth, silently telling the bravery of the Qin army.
Walk all the way and see all the way.
Blood along the way, revenge in life.
Burnt and smelly corpses were piled up in front of the hillside. Even though the soldiers of the Qin army were used to seeing death, they could not help but feel sad when they saw such a tragic situation. Many Qin soldiers who were less able to bear it even vomited. got up.
"Zhao Jun's heart is so poisonous!"
"I will kill that Zhao soldier to avenge him!"
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and let the Zhao prisoners taste the burning fire."
The Qin soldiers behind him were all filled with indignation and wished they could eat Zhao Jun alive. Even the generals of the Qin army who followed were filled with hatred.
"General, let's chase him!"
"Yes, General, Zhao's army can't run fast, but our army and horses are fast, so we can definitely catch up."
"General..."
"General..."
After a captain spoke, many generals of the Qin army gathered around Wang Lu to ask for help. Even Wang Qi looked at Wang Qi with hope, although Wang Qi knew very well: obviously chasing now is not a good idea, not to mention whether he can catch up with Zhao Jun who has already evacuated. How about it, aren't you afraid that this is another trap for Zhao Jun?
Wang Qi still hopes to get a positive answer from Wang Lu. With just a nod, Wang Qi will lead the cavalry in pursuit, even if he knows that there is no guarantee of success, because he has the determination to be benevolent—— I have to hold back this Zhao army until my death!
But it is a pity that Wang Lu is more cautious and cautious than Wang Qi.
Isn’t Wang Lu heartbroken?
Of course I feel heartbroken. Under such a fire, Ying Xie’s chances of survival have been reduced.
Infinity is zero, and Wang Hao even wishes he could replace it with his own body! How could he not want to avenge him?
However, judging from the situation at the scene, there were no footprints on the soot that fell after the fire was extinguished, and there were no traces of wounds on the corpses of the Qin army that were scorched by the fire. All signs indicate that after the fire was extinguished, Zhao Jun did not even arrange for troops to come down to check the last hit.
Since there was no last strike after the fire, Zhao Jun would definitely not sit on the hillside and wait for the fire to extinguish.
In other words, before the fire was extinguished, or even when the valley was completely ignited, Zhao Jun had already calmly evacuated. Even based on the most conservative calculation, Zhao Jun had already evacuated for at least three hours.
More than three hours were enough for Zhao Jun to completely distance themselves from themselves. It would even take only one or two hours for Zhao Jun to meet their fortress.
Therefore, the pursuit at this time is completely meaningless except for being repelled by Zhao Jun or even making a fool of himself!
"The cavalry occupied the pass and defended the outer line. The infantry quickly collected the corpses, looked for the survivors, inquired about the process in detail, and reported to the general and Lord Wu'an. The troops were not allowed to pursue without orders, and those who disobeyed the orders were killed!" Regardless of the generals around him! Wang Hao still calmly issued orders despite his request for a fight.
Seeing Wang Hao giving the general order with a livid face, the generals naturally did not dare to disobey him and followed the order one after another.
The 50,000-strong army quickly took action in accordance with the order. As the corpses were cleared out one after another, Wang Hao's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the water. The 15,000 elite cavalry were more than halfway cleared, but there was still no One survivor was found, and there was no trace of General Yingsheng.
At this time, the military report sent by General Wang Lu to Wu'an Jun Baiqi finally arrived.
Listening to the simple retelling of the ordering soldier in front of him, Mr. Wu An felt that the world was spinning and he almost lost his balance. The bamboo slip in his hand couldn't help but slap it hard on the desk, and the resentment in his heart was relieved a little - this was the first time that Bai Qi could lose his composure like this.
It's not because of anything else, it's just because Ying Xi is too important and Bai Qi has invested too many resources in him.
"You are so frivolous and reckless, how can you deserve such a big responsibility!" Bai Qi kept cursing in his heart.
But this anger is somewhat different from Wang Lu's mood. For Bai Qi, he is more angry at his inability to fight than sad at his misfortune. Of course, besides this anger, he is more towards Zhao Jun and Zhao Kuo. infinite hatred.
Fortunately, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi never lets his mood swings affect his judgment on the battlefield, and he will never put the safety of the army at risk because of someone, even if that person is himself!
