"Herald Wang Lu: Pull back!" Bai Qi, who was watching the battle from the Chinese army, said slowly.
"Yes!" The messenger on the side immediately took the order and left.
The order was quickly passed to Wang Lun's place. Looking at the Jiepailing that was still standing in the distance and the densely packed corpses of Qin soldiers under the city tower, even though the shouts of killing were still enthusiastic, several Qin soldiers successfully climbed onto the city tower from time to time. But Wang Hao knew that there was no point in continuing the attack.
In other words, from the moment Zhao Jun discovered his sneak attack, there was no suspense in this battle. The desperate attack of tens of thousands of Qin soldiers not only slightly tested the combat power of the Zhao army in the city, but also gave their own people a reason to stop.
Due to the shortage of food and grass, the Qin army could not hold out such a powerful offensive for a few days, and the impregnable Jiepailing in front of them obviously could not be broken in three to five days. Once the food and grass are quickly consumed, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops will become lambs to be slaughtered. Maybe they will be trapped alive by Zhao Jun before they can wait for the rescue of King Qin.
Therefore, stopping the attack, gathering troops, preserving strength, and waiting for rescue is the best and only choice for the Qin army today.
Although he was extremely reluctant, his reason still told Wang Lu that Lord Wu An's order was correct.
With a slight sigh, Wang Hao's deep voice sounded: "Send the order, ring the gold, and withdraw the troops!"
Immediately, the sound of "Ding Ding Dang" slowly came out from the Qin Army's back array.
After hearing the order, the Qin army, which was still fighting fiercely in front, quickly receded like a tide. After another round of arrow rain sent them off, fierce cheers resounded throughout the pass!
There is no suspense, Zhou Qi and his Zhao army successfully withstood the Qin army's offensive!
At the same time, it also indicates that the Shangdang War has completely moved to the next stage!
Of course, despite successfully repelling the Qin army, the Qin army's fierce combat power and changeable tactics, especially the use and grasp of the right time, place and even small fighter planes, can be said to be unparalleled in this fog-taking attack. It is reflected vividly.
This also directly caused Zhou Qi, who had just won, not to relax at all, for fear that the Qin army would catch the flaw and lose his life. It would be a small matter, but it would be a big thing if he missed the city defense and missed the general's arrangement.
While arranging personnel to treat the wounded and dispose of corpses, they were also busy reinforcing the city defenses and repairing damaged ordnance.
In the Qin army's camp, Bai Qi was also arranging the defense of the camp.
Just as the fighting on Jiepailing died down, a not-so-gorgeous carriage was creaking along on the official road of Shangdang County.
The carriage was surrounded by burly men. Under their slightly tattered armor, they had a pair of sharp eyes that looked like cannibalism. A long dark red knife hung around the waist, silently declaring the master's military exploits.
Further outside, there are thousands of elite cavalry, firmly forming a square formation capable of attacking and defending with the carriage as the center. Outside the square formation, there are thousands of heavy armored infantry retinues in front and behind, and outside, there are ordinary cavalry. soldiers.
A group of more than 30,000 people were marching in the direction of the Danshui Barrier.
On the carriage in the center, Zhao Kuo was lying in a thick quilt, already wrapped three layers inside and three outside. The driver was trying his best to keep it stable, but the terrain of Shangdang The carriage was destined to be bumpy and abnormal, and Zhao Kuo also woke up leisurely amidst the ups and downs.
"Where are you?" Zhao Kuo asked softly through the thick quilt, trying to open his eyes.
"General!" The soldiers waiting on the side immediately noticed Zhao Kuo's awakening and hurriedly followed him: "General, we will reach the Danshui Barrier in less than half an hour. There are generals in the army. Commander, nothing will happen. I just took the medicine and the military doctor told me that you should get more rest and don't work too hard."
"Yes!" Zhao Kuo responded casually, and then he felt a sense of drowsiness again. He hurriedly told him: "Wake me up in front of the barrier." Then he fell asleep again.
Outside the Danshui Barrier, two veterans with white hair and beards were already waiting in front of the city gate. Thousands of elite soldiers behind them were waiting in formation, and countless probing horses were scattered around almost every corner within a ten-mile radius.
For nothing else, just to be able to receive the message as soon as possible
Zhao Kuo is seriously injured.
"General, why haven't you arrived yet?" Lian Po, with an anxious look on his face, asked the one hundred and second question today while riding on his tall horse.
Ever since he received the letter from Xu Li, Lian Po's heart has been tugging at Zhao Kuo's sadness, especially the general order "Lian Po is the leader and Tian Dan is the deputy", which clearly stated that he was going to All military power was entrusted to himself and General Tian Dan.
Let me ask you: A general, a general who has just won a battle and is preparing to lead his soldiers to create greater glory! Under what circumstances would one hastily give military power to others?
There is only one possibility: he can no longer command! In order to avoid the loss of the army, the command was transferred.
In other words: Zhao Kuo's injury may not heal well!
This caught Lian Po quite off guard. Although he only worked with Zhao Kuo for a short day, Zhao Kuo's grasp of the war situation, macro vision and thorough understanding of people's hearts really amazed Lian Po.
And as the war continued to develop step by step in the direction Zhao Kuo expected, this surprise turned into shock, and Lian Po's attitude towards Zhao Kuo also changed from the appreciation of his seniors to his juniors, to the affection between his peers. Cherish each other, and even admire the seniors.
Suddenly hearing that Zhao Kuo was seriously injured was like a building about to collapse. Lian Po also suddenly realized that the troops in the whirlpool were so dangerous. The reason why the army was able to persist until it arrived was not because it arrived in time, but because hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army, from the general on down, fought to the death.
Lian Po couldn't help but blame himself for not persuading Lord Xinling earlier and for not launching a counterattack earlier. Even though, Lian Po had actually tried his best.
General Tian Dan behind him was in the same anxious mood. Although he felt less guilty than Lian Po, it was clear that Zhao Kuo, who also loved the people like a son, left a good impression on Tian Dan - patriotism, integrity, and loyalty. Dare to be the first in the world, almost all the beautiful terms can be applied to him.
But for such a young and outstanding general, the separation from each other may be the last time they see each other. General Tian Dan has a feeling in his heart that his soulmate is not there, and who will listen if the string is broken, and he even wishes he could take his place in his body. Of.
Therefore, listening to General Lian Po's nagging questions, Tian Dan only felt more and more irritated.
"Scout camp!" Tian Dan, who was quite impatient, turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Where is the general?"
The scout battalion captain behind him was also full of anxiety. Fortunately, he had just received the intelligence report and immediately reported back...
