As the bonfires in the camp gradually extinguished, the moonlight above them gradually faded away.
The coalition camp finally ushered in waves of commotion. Although the generals of Han Zhiguo exerted pressure layer by layer, the Korean soldiers who were disturbed from their sweet dreams still made a lot of noise.
It is a pity that although the movements of the Korean army are not small, neither the Chu army nor the Wei army of the coalition showed any reaction.
This is no wonder Lord Xinling.
The Korean army is about to launch, and it is natural that its generals will not be unprepared. For example, most of the patrol personnel tonight will be Korean troops.
Therefore, even if there was any commotion, as long as it was not Ying Xiao, the situation would not reach Lord Xinling's ears at all.
Even if ordinary soldiers of the Wei Army and Chu Army discovered any abnormalities, they would be excused by the patrolling troops on the grounds of secret operations.
Therefore, due to the calculated calculations of General Han Zhiguo, the coalition forces finally lost the last possibility of a comeback.
Well, maybe we shouldn’t talk about making a comeback, we can only talk about reducing losses, because even if Lord Xinling really discovered the abnormality of Han Jun, what could he do? Besides leading the Wei army to escape, what else could he do?
Turn the tide?
Just with the less than 100,000 Wei troops he brought?
You know, Zhao Jun next to him is already on the way to retreat.
Soon, under the constant urging of General Han Zhiguo, groups of Korean troops "were given titles and their horses picked bells." They didn't even need their baggage, and all of them quietly drove out of the camp with light equipment.
In the huge Korean army camp, only a few hundred soldiers of the general of Han Zhiguo were left to fill the facade.
It's not that the general of Han Zhiguo was so noble that he actually let his own soldiers stay.
There is really no way. With the quality of the Korean soldiers, if other subordinates are left behind, I am afraid that as soon as the main force on the front foot withdraws, these people on the back foot will disperse like birds and beasts, and they may even wake up Wei and Chu.
Of course, staying does not mean that you will die. The remaining soldiers will withdraw to the camp as soon as the Qin army launches an attack. Enough war horses have been prepared there. They will just wait for the soldiers to return. He can mount a war horse and gallop away.
As the Han army escaped successfully, the Qin army camp in Luo City, which had been bustling all night, became quiet.
Rows of strong cavalry were already gearing up, and teams of infantry were ready to go. All the soldiers were waiting for General Wang Lu's orders. Only the neighing of horses reminded the passage of time.
General Wang Lu, however, fixed his gaze tightly on the copper kettle dripping beside him.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
Water droplets dripped slowly, and the copper pillars engraved with the hour slowly rose from the water at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
Finally, the red mark slowly surfaced.
Wang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, then pulled out the sword in his hand and said to the Qin army generals in front of him: "Let's go! Defeat the enemy!"
"Set off!"
"Destroy the enemy!"
General Wang Lu's order was quickly transmitted.
As the sound of "squeaking" gradually sounded, the city gate of Luo City, which had been carbonized and repaired by the Qin army, slowly opened.
To the east, south, and north, several Qin troops stepped into the darkness in unison.
In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, the Qin Army naturally followed the example of "people with titles and horses picking bells", and there were no usual horns and drums during their advance. Even so, the Qin Army still maintained a strong momentum during the march. consistency.
The strongest armies in the world have their own unique features. As for the Qin army, its discipline is obviously the most rigorous among the seven kingdoms.
However, even though the Qin army had tried to reduce the possibility of exposure as much as possible, how could such a large-scale march be hidden from the Zhao army scouts who were monitoring the movements in Luo City in real time? Especially tonight, General Lian Po went out of his way to The scout battalion was ordered to keep an eye on the movements in Luo City.
If it were not for the long-term rotation plan, the leader of the scout battalion would have wanted to scatter half of the scouts in the battalion.
Under such an urgent request, the scouts below naturally did not dare to neglect. Each of them opened their eyes wide and guarded Luo City, fearing that any situation would slip through their eyes.
Naturally, the news that Qin Jun opened three doors and left was detected by Zhao Jun's scouts almost immediately.
Naturally, such shocking news was reported to General Lian Po immediately.
"It came so fast!" Lian Po, who had just lay down and was awakened, couldn't help but secretly said in surprise. The Qin army really knew the truth of lateness and change. After signing the alliance, he couldn't even wait for a moment.
What Lian Po didn't know was that, thanks to the Qin envoys Tu Jia and Proton Yiren, the King of Han's order to withdraw had actually been issued before Qin and Han exchanged credentials.
If it weren't for the powerful intelligence network of the Yulin Guards, Zhao Jun would have been caught off guard by the Qin Army.
Lian Po couldn't help but feel lucky that he had already arranged the evacuation of his troops tonight. Even at this time, the infantry should have been approaching the Jishui line, and the remaining army was already ready to turn in.
If the Qin and Han armies take action, even if they want to rearrange their troops in the morning, it may be too late.
Thinking of this, Lian Po finally realized the importance of strategic intelligence and had a deeper understanding of the king's order for Sun Gu to serve as the general of the Yulin Guard.
Many times, when fighting a war, the key to fighting is intelligence!
Qin State paid a huge price to win the support of Yan State, but our Zhao State learned about it in an instant. It means that you have worked hard to prepare the tactical arrangements for several months, and they have just been formed, and they have been exposed to the enemy. desk, can you bear this? !
The people of Qin didn't know whether Lian Po could stand it or not, but Lian Po was impressed once again by these four ounces of fighting tactics.
After slightly calming down his somewhat excited mood, Lian Po immediately said to the ordering soldier: "Call the whole army to immediately expand to three areas according to the original plan."
"Yes." The messenger on the side immediately agreed. After saying that, the messenger turned around and ran towards the outside of the tent.
After hesitating for a while, Lian Po once again summoned another messenger and said: "Immediately send the information about the large-scale Qin army to the generals of Han, Chu and Wei!"
"No, you don't need to tell the generals of the Three Kingdoms, just tell Lord Xinling." Lian Po paused and continued: "Let Lord Xinling go find trouble with the Korean army. Let's not cause trouble."
"Yes." Another messenger immediately agreed.
Yes, after Lian Po thought about it for a while, he decided to reinforce and delay the exposure of the news of Qin and Han's alliance.
Of course, this involves taking a certain risk. If it breaks out at this time, it is impossible to say that the main coalition camp will still have some preparation time.
If Lian Po followed Lian Po's approach and only told Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling would of course inform the generals of Han and Chu, and the messengers would truthfully report to Lord Xinling the current situation of the Korean army.
In this way, Lord Xinling can get the information that the Korean army has left.
However, a lot of time was wasted between these two trips. If there was no trouble, Lord Xinling might not have completed the defense by the time the Qin army reached the city.
But what if Lian Po had pierced this layer of window paper in advance.
Yes, maybe this can buy some preparation time for Lord Xinling's Wei and Chu armies, but the question is, if Lord Xinling has this preparation time, should he flee or fight?
I'm afraid no one knows.
If Lord Xinling takes advantage of this period of time to escape directly, the main camp of the coalition forces will no longer be able to attract the Qin army.
It is very likely that when the Qin army has no hope of encircling and annihilating the Wei army, it will turn to attack and encircle its own Zhao army. Although Lian Po has already prepared a retreat route for his rear troops, once he is defeated by the Qin army in twenty Ten thousand troops are surrounded, and Zhao Jun will probably shed his skin even if he is not completely wiped out.
This is something Lian Po never wants to see.
In this case, it is better to let nature take its course and let the news of the Qin-Han alliance reach Lord Xinling naturally. Not only can it prevent the chain consequences caused by the direct withdrawal of the Wei army, but it can also completely separate all relationships. .z.
Why not do it?
Soon, as General Lian Po's order was conveyed, the entire Zhao Jun camp began to boil. In the short time it took for a cup of tea, the middle door of the Zhao Jun camp was opened wide, and tens of thousands of Zhao Jun troops swarmed out.
However, these tens of thousands of Zhao troops did not wait in formation not far from the camp as usual.
Instead, it split into three parts. During the period, the two forces split into east and west directions and flew away, and soon disappeared into the darkness. Only the last 25,000 people were waiting in formation beside the camp.
As Zhao Jun continued to move out, Zhao Jun's camp became increasingly empty, until finally, the camp almost became an empty frame.
Yes, in a short period of time, Zhao Jun has essentially completed the transfer of the main force.
Of course, during this time, Lord Xinling and his army in the main camp of the coalition also took action.
Although when he first received the notice from Zhao Jun, Lord Xinling didn't take it very seriously. He just calmly ordered the entire army to prepare for war and informed the generals of Han and Chu.
Although there are some abnormalities in the Qin army's night attack, it can also be explained by time constraints.
Until Lord Xinling discovered that the messenger troops dispatched at the same time, the Chu State had already begun to defend the city, but the Korean army was still silent.
Even the messenger who was supposed to come back long ago was nowhere to be seen.
Lord Xinling finally realized that something seemed wrong!
There are more than 30,000 Korean troops. Even if his own messenger failed to convey the order in place due to some accidents, the coalition camp is already so noisy. How can the Korean army be so quiet?
Could it be that more than 30,000 people had all slept to death? For a moment, Lord Xinling could not imagine what was wrong!
Mutiny? Or...rebellion?
It’s not so much that Mr. Xinling couldn’t imagine what kind of situation Han Jun was in now, it’s more that he didn’t dare to imagine what the possibility would be...
