At this point in the war, any tricks no longer work.
Except for a few messengers, Sima Cuo had no more available soldiers. The sharp soldiers and soldiers he brought from Bai Qi had also been lost. After a night of fierce fighting, the Qin soldiers were already exhausted. They are now even more trapped and their fighting strength is at a critical stage.
It can even be said that the Qin Army is now just relying on its own tenacious willpower and muscle memory that has penetrated into the bone marrow to continue to fight against the Wei Army.
Such a struggle is bound to come at a huge price!
The Qin army's front was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Sima Cuo had nothing to do about it.
Time passed by minute by second, and the initiative on the battlefield had been completely controlled by the Wei army. Both Jin Bi, who was on the front line, and Lord Xinling, who was sitting in the middle army, had happy faces.
If Lian Po hadn't stopped him, Lord Xinling almost wanted to throw those who were resting and the reserve team into the battlefield to completely break through the Qin army in front of him.
That's right, the continuous advancement on the battlefield has made the generals of the Wei army, who have not won a victory for a long time, a little overwhelmed.
The Qin army in the northwest, which was not moving, was regarded by them as the contribution of Zhao Jun's blocking; the Qin army in the southeast, which was struggling to support, was imagined by them as a dying struggle; and even reinforcements that might appear in the barrier and Jiepai Ridge They were also selectively ignored.
If Lian Po hadn't insisted on retaining the reserve force, perhaps the Wei army at this time would have repeated the story of the young master in Hexi.
Fortunately, General Lian Po, who led them to their current "victory", Xinling Lord and other Wei generals still trust him. Regarding Lian Po's statement that "the front of the Qin army is limited and the large army cannot be deployed, 40,000 is enough". After calming down, he immediately agreed.
Immediately, the Wei army moved forward step by step, and the Qin army retreated step by step. The front line became shorter and shorter, and the sun above their heads became higher and higher!
Finally, after the painful fierce battle, the sun finally came to the sky. Then three wisps of wolf smoke rose into the sky, and on the main battlefield, the whimpering horns suddenly came to mind!
One sound, two sounds, three sounds...
A low-pitched horn like a mourning sound came from the side of the Wei army, from the north, east, and south, seemingly everywhere! The Wei army, which was still attacking without orders, was horrified.
Immediately afterwards, thunderous drum beats accompanied by the cavalry's "clack-clack" hooves resounded throughout the battlefield! Black flags suddenly appeared on the bloody battlefield, like three winding black dragons, sweeping towards the Wei army that was still in the midst of a fierce battle.
"Kill!" Countless Qin troops shouted!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Several timid Wei generals begged.
Puff puff... A sharp sword killed several Wei generals who were shaking like chaff in front of them on the spot, and the person who drew the sword was none other than Lord Xinling, who had always been gentle and gentle.
"Anyone who dares to talk about retreat and shake the morale of the army will be killed!" With a horizontal stroke of his long sword, Lord Xinling looked at the generals present fiercely.
Seeing that the generals were frightened, Lord Xinling turned his head, bowed slightly to Lian Po who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and said: "The matter is urgent. Please deal with it quickly, General Lian Po."
It has to be said that although Lord Xinling may have lacked battlefield experience and was immature in his grasp of the battle situation, he clearly showed the calmness and decisiveness of a famous general in the face of major issues of right and wrong.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the Qin army, Lord Xinling did not show panic. Instead, he quickly took action after someone said something to shake the morale of the army. This simple draw of the sword and asking for advice solved Lian Po's big problem.
After all, Lian Po is still a general of the Zhao State, and the people of Wei cannot really obey him. Facing those timid Wei generals, Lian Po actually doesn't have much other than persuasion with words. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid that before the Qin army arrived, there would be internal strife.
But it's different if it's Lord Xinling. He also serves as the supervisor of the army without explaining it. The name of the royal prince and Lord Xinling alone is enough to intimidate the Wei generals - if they are cut off, they will be cut off. Who dares to say more? Not to mention a few ordinary Wei generals, even Jin Bi died at the hands of Lord Xinling in history. How could anyone in the subsequent army dare to disobey orders.
That's it
It is the benefit that status brings. ,
And the reason why Lord Xinling would not hesitate to kill the Wei general on the spot was, of course, not only because the confrontation on the front line had become anxious and there was no way to retreat, but there was also the threat from Lord Xinling himself. Some thoughts - Lord Xinling stole the talisman and came to save Zhao, especially after he had already injured a lot of soldiers, Lord Xinling himself had no choice but to retreat.
Must win!
Lord Xinling needs victory in this war more urgently than anyone else. Otherwise, even if he is a noble son, he may not be able to escape the fate of being imprisoned - that would be even worse than killing him!
kill! Must kill!
Lord Xinling must nip the idea of retreat in the bud, but it is easy to deal with a few timid generals, but Lord Xinling is not sure about dealing with the vicious Qin army. After handling the military discipline for Lian Po, Lord Xinling also knew very well: Facing today's complex battlefield situation, he still had to trust and rely on Lian Po.
Immediately, Lord Xinling put on the performance he had just performed.
That performance was for Lian Po: Boss, I will deal with anyone who disobeys you, please think of a solution quickly!
At the same time, it is also performed for all the Wei generals present: Those who want to surrender or retreat first ask me about the sword in my hand. Everyone present must obey General Lian Po's arrangements honestly, otherwise don't blame me. Turn your back on others.
There was still blood in the tent, so how could the other Wei generals dare to act recklessly? They immediately stood on the spot and listened to General Lian Po's instructions.
Lian Po nodded slightly when he saw this. He was obviously quite surprised by Lord Xinling's boldness. He was still worried about how to integrate the Wei army and the Qin army to fight again. Now it seems that he is overthinking.
Lian Po immediately stopped talking nonsense and cheered up the generals: "Although the Qin army has reinforcements, after hearing its drum beat and looking at its army formation, it is only 30,000 to 20,000. This is the reinforcement army for the barrier and Jiepailing." , it was expected and nothing to worry about!”
Seeing that everyone's expressions softened slightly, Lian Po immediately ordered: "Send the order to the rear army to immediately deploy a blocking formation to block the Qin army in the rear from the battlefield."
"Yes!" The messenger on the side immediately took the order.
"Send the order to the front troops and all the soldiers to press forward and speed up the attack on the Qin army's front!" Lian Po continued to order.
"Yes!" Another messenger took the order and left.
"Order: Renovate the army to prepare for war, and mobilize 10,000 troops to prepare for the rear army." Lian Po continued to order calmly.
And as Lian Po issued clear instructions one after another, the fear of Qin among the Wei army finally got better. Although they were more or less doubtful about the Qin army's attack, they had no idea of escape easily.
Wei Jun's military mentality was stabilized.
