So victorious?
After retreating nearly ten miles, even if the Yan army wanted to paralyze themselves, they didn't have to run that far. After running such a long distance, just running back was enough for them to get ready for battle again.
The soldiers of Zhao Jun couldn't believe their eyes, even though the red flag, as bright as blood, was so dazzling and bright under the sunlight.
Just a second ago, Zhao Jun's soldiers were still sparing no effort to carry the rolling logs and stones made from demolished houses. This second, they actually ushered in victory.
Putting down the huge boulder in the city, he raised his hands that were already full of wounds, and waved the military flag that was stained with a layer of dark brown by the blood-stained smoke. The huge "Zhao" character, coupled with the traces of the knife and axe, appeared on the The towers of Yanyu City are so majestic and domineering that they almost rival the glory of the rising sun.
A burst of louder cheers quickly spread the news of victory throughout Yanyu City!
This is not only the joy of victory, but also a hymn to the hope of life. In three days and three nights of bloody battles, he faced life and death countless times, and countless comrades fell in front of him.
They escaped death again and again, and drove the Yan army back to the tower again and again.
Get up after falling, stop bleeding when injured, and continue to fight. Even if there is only one last breath left, you must turn yourself into a rolling log and stone, and die together with the Yan army.
No one knows how long they can hold on, and no one can tell them how long they will hold on.
Even Zhao Kuo himself didn't know it, but they still persisted. Whether it was for Zhao Guo or Zhao Kuo, in the end, they still gritted their teeth and persisted.
Fortunately, their persistence finally paid off today, a not bad result.
Zhao Kuo knew that he could rest.
"Send the order: The scouts are only allowed to monitor from a distance, and are not allowed to observe closely. Don't be bitten by this defeated army." Zhao Kuo then ordered Sun Gu on the side: "In addition, send out fast horses and let Zhou Qi's troops circle west. OK, avoid unnecessary confrontation with the Yan army."
"Yes." Sun Gu also agreed immediately.
"Also, although the Yan army has retreated, the city defense cannot be relaxed. There must be no shortage of lookouts and scouts." Zhao Kuo continued to order: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of just in case."
"The general will understand." Sun Gu continued to nod.
Seeing Sun Gu nodding in agreement, Zhao Kuo finally felt relieved. Then he looked at the rejoicing soldiers, and finally a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Immediately, when no one noticed, Zhao Kuo slowly disappeared from the top of the city.
It only took a moment before thunderous snoring sounded in the mansion in the center of the city. Zhao Kuo, who had not closed his eyes for almost three days and four nights, could finally take a good rest.
Even if the city outside the house was boiling like a pot of boiling water, it had nothing to do with Zhao Kuo.
Rest is the most important thing for Zhao Kuo right now.
Zhao Kuo, who was sleeping, would not know that as his orders were carried out, there were also people in the Yan army who were equally happy and excited. That's right, it was the general surnamed Li who cut off the rear of the Yan army.
Although both Qing Qin and himself believed that Zhao Kuo would not pursue the city, after all, the troops in the city were limited. No matter how powerful the Zhao army was, it would be difficult for them to leave the city and resist an enemy that was ten times more powerful.
But the problem is, the general on the opposite side is Zhao Kuo!
In front of Zhao Kuo, who dares to say that he can count him down? The last person who dared to be so arrogant was burnt to ashes by Zhao Kuo, buried in the soil, and erected a monument.
Now looking at Zhao Jun's scouts who were watching him from a distance, General Li Pi could not know Zhao Kuo's intentions. He had at least 80% hope that Zhao Jun in Yan and the city would not send out troops to pursue him.
Involuntarily, General Li Pi felt relieved.
Although the biggest challenge was the battle away from Zhao Kingdom, without Zhao Kuo's pursuit in Yan Yucheng, at least General Li Bi's strength could be preserved, and he could also accumulate some strength for the possible hard battle at the rear.
At the same time, the 50,000-strong army under King Yan had also embarked on the road to continue to flee eastward earlier. Don't mention it, the Yan army made slow progress when attacking, but when it escaped, it was much faster.
But the Yan army retreated quickly, and the pursuit of the more elite Zhao army was even faster. Coupled with the familiarity with the terrain and the harassment of Zhao Jun's towns along the way, the distance between the two armies was slowly shortening unknowingly.
There was no other way, the Yan army could only continue to cut off the tail of the gecko, and constantly use small forces to block the pursuing Zhao army to ensure the marching speed of the main army.
However, this piecemeal approach may seem inconspicuous, but in practice, in just one day, the Yan Army was forced to send thousands of troops to retreat. For the Yan Army, which was already tight in terms of strength, Almost too much to bear.
Li Mu accepted all the meritorious deeds of the Yan army that were almost brought to his lips without hesitation. After collecting the order, we will continue to pursue it.
At the end of the day, Yan Jun lost a lot of troops, but it also maintained a relatively stable distance from Zhao Jun.
This is undoubtedly a fact that both sides can accept. At least from the perspective of King Yan and Li Mu, this result is completely acceptable.
As for the Yan army, although they lost a lot of troops again, problems that can be solved with the lives of soldiers are not problems. The only trouble left is which troops should be sent to stop Zhao Jun's attack tomorrow. .
As for Li Mu, before it was time to reveal his trump card, having thousands of military exploits recorded was enough to make a difference, and he was naturally willing to continue to be harmonious like this.
Of course, more importantly, Li Mu knew very well that he could accept such a situation, but King Zhao would definitely not be able to accept it.
Obviously, King Zhao personally conquered the Yan army, and the result of the battle was just a thousand men, which was not even as good as the Yan army's siege losses. How could this make him feel relieved?
Seeing that the main force of the Yan army was just ahead, but was delayed by waves of scattered Yan troops, King Zhao saw this and was anxious in his heart.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of that day, King Zhao, who received a report of victory, angrily issued a strict order to Li Mu: He must speed up his advance, break through the small force of the Yan Army as soon as possible, catch up with the main force of the Yan Army, and then break it.
Of course, Li Mu agreed wholeheartedly, and then a smile appeared on Li Mu's lips.
But when it came to execution, it was a different scene: Zhao Jun, under the command of Li Mu, not only failed to break through as quickly as possible, but was even a few minutes slower than the breakthrough before noon.
The angry King Zhao immediately started the war supervision mode.
Sure enough, with the arrival of King Zhao, the battle became more intense, and the time to break through the Yan army was shortened a lot.
King Zhao said: Very satisfied.
Li Mu said: Me too!
Some people died, but not completely...
