"Report!" A quick report sounded next to Lian Po.
"Speak." Lian Po, who was riding on his horse, ordered directly without even turning his head.
"The east gate of the coalition camp opened, and tens of thousands of Wei troops swarmed out, seemingly heading east." The scout immediately replied.
"I understand." Lian Po said calmly: "Continue to monitor the direction in which the main force of the Wei army is fleeing.
"yes. "The scout immediately agreed again.
Obviously, Wei Jun's escape had been expected by Lian Po. It's no wonder that Wei Jun and Lord Xinling, facing such a losing situation, even Lian Po had no choice but to retreat.
However, looking at the Ximian Village Tower that was still fighting in the distance, Lian Po looked at Lord Xinling with admiration.
Not all generals can make a judgment that is most beneficial to their country and army in such a short period of time. Lord Xinling obviously did it;
Not all generals can decisively cut off a strong man's wrist after making a judgment, but Lord Xinling obviously did it again.
You know, almost all of the people still left in the camp at this time are dead. Forget about Chu's army, Wei Jun's own troops are also quite large.
This is not a loss of hundreds or thousands of people. Judging from the degree of resistance on the west and south walls, there are at least 15,000 people fighting fiercely with the Qin army there.
Lord Xinling threw it away without any hesitation. This courage alone was enough to make him one of the famous generals.
However, looking at the Wei soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles, Lian Po felt very unworthy of them.
But no matter what, objectively speaking, Lord Xinling has done everything he can to reduce the loss of his own army as much as possible.
Lord Xinling has done enough, except for the choice of the direction of the main force's retreat.
Over the past few months, Lian Po had already memorized the topography of Zhou Wangji's land. Watching Lord Xinling lead his army to the east, Lian Po shook his head helplessly.
Going east, Gong City lies across it, making it almost impossible to bypass this city and continue to escape eastward.
How could the Qin army not have thought of this when they launched the war? How could the Qin army not make any arrangements for Gongcheng as the only way to escape eastward.
The number of troops stationed there does not even need to be too many. Just a few thousand people are enough to completely block the Wei army's escape eastward.
If Lord Xinling cannot discover this trap early, then the Wei army will inevitably suffer a big loss under Gongcheng.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Lian Po or Zhao Jun. Of course Lian Po can send cavalry and quickly tell Lord Xinling about this.
But in this way, will it be of any benefit to Zhao State?
Not only did he not, Lord Xinling would also suspect Zhao Guo's intentions, and even realized that Zhao Guo had already known about Han Jun's betrayal.
This is obviously a thankless job.
Now that Wei has evacuated, Zhao Jun naturally doesn't need to be polite anymore.
"Order: The front army launched a fierce attack on the Qin army. After forcing the Qin army back, the rear army changed its position to the front army and immediately evacuated to the northeast." Lian Po immediately ordered.
"Yes." The messenger who had been waiting for a long time agreed immediately.
"Send a message to the General of Chu: The main forces of Han and Wei are missing. The Zhao army is about to retreat. Let them quickly turn to the southeast." Lian Po then continued.
"Yes." Another messenger immediately agreed.
Yes, Lian Po did not save the Wei State, but he was prepared to save the lives of the soldiers of the Chu State.
The reason is that the people of Chu were brought by themselves, and they can be considered half of their own people, so they naturally have to take care of them. More importantly, Zhao and Chu are not bordering each other. The Chu army suffered too many losses, so the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
To put it bluntly, Zhao State needs a Chu State that is powerful enough to contain the Qin army's activities in the south.
Immediately, in the Zhao army camp, the sound of whimpering horns suddenly came to mind.
Tens of thousands of Zhao troops suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Qin army. Caught off guard, the Qin army was really beaten back.
This fierce attack not only surprised the Qin army, but also boosted the momentum of the army that was still holding on in the coalition camp. However, the morale that had been boosted slightly soon slumped again as Lian Po's words reached them.
The general of Chu naturally believed in General Lian Po, and he quickly understood the reason why the Zhao army in front of him launched a surprise attack on the Qin army.
This is not an attack, but preparation for retreat!
Without any time to think more, the general of Chu State immediately ordered: "Abandon the camp and evacuate to the back camp immediately!"
The messenger was slightly stunned when he heard this. Apparently, he was still immersed in the joy of the Zhao army launching an attack on the Qin army.
"Quick, the speed must be fast!" In order to maintain military morale, the general of Chu could not truthfully tell the news about Lian Po. Therefore, he could only impose orders as a general.
"Yes." Seeing the general's insistence, the ordering soldier did not dare to say more. He immediately agreed and then turned his horse's head and left.
At the same time, General Meng Ao of the Qin Army, who received the attack from Zhao Jun, was a little surprised by Zhao Jun's courage, but he did not panic at all. After all, he had not experienced such a thing before.
More importantly, today, Meng Ao's mission was to hold back Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun's current active attack gave Qin Jun the opportunity to hold Zhao Jun back.
In order to completely seduce the Qin army, Meng Ao did not immediately organize his troops to counterattack. Instead, he ordered the entire army to retreat slightly to further attract the Zhao army.
However, this approach seemed so immature to Wang Lu and Lian Po of the Qin Army.
Obviously, from Wang Lu's point of view, the tower in the south is about to be breached, and the scouts have also sent back the news that the main force of the Wei army has evacuated. There is no reason why Lian Po, who is in the middle of the situation, cannot see what he can see.
Now that we have seen these situations, how could he still bite the bullet and confront himself with his ability to run the army with integrity? The only explanation is: Zhao Jun is playing hard to get.
Having no other choice, Wang Hao intervened in Meng Ao's tactics for the first time.
"The cavalry troops are ordered to attack and attack immediately. The Zhao army is not attacking our army, but retreating!" Wang Hao immediately shouted to the troops who ordered the troops.
"Yes." The ordering soldier did not dare to delay and immediately accepted the order and left.
Just when the Chu State General's order was conveyed and the Chu State General Meng Ao issued the order to retreat, Zhao Jun quickly turned his horse's head and quickly distanced himself from the Qin Army just as Wang Lu had imagined. In an instant, he fled to the northeast.
Obviously, the tens of thousands of Qin army's elite cavalry led by Meng Ao were once again fooled by Lian Po's Zhao army cavalry.
It takes time for an army of tens of thousands to switch from attack to retreat, and then from retreat to attack - a lot of time.
The Zhao Army's cavalry was often faster than the Qin Army's cavalry. Coupled with the time delay caused by mistakes, the Qin Army had obviously lost the possibility of pursuing the Zhao Army.
But Meng Ao still issued an order to his soldiers: "The whole army immediately went north to pursue Zhao Jun."
"Yes." The messenger on the side immediately agreed.
Of course, from the beginning, when pursuing Zhao Jun, they never thought that they could completely annihilate them. What was more important was to contain Zhao Jun. Only by containing Zhao Jun could there be a chance to defeat the Wei and Chu armies.
As the Zhao army's rear army turned into the front army and evacuated to the northeast, and coupled with the orders issued by their general, the Chu army on the northern wall immediately fell into chaos.
It has to be said that in terms of elite level, Chu's army is more than one level behind Zhao Army and Qin Army.
But no matter what, under the supervision of their general, the Chu army quickly abandoned almost all their baggage and began to escape according to the route designated by General Lian Po.
Fortunately, the general of Chu State was extremely sure of General Lian Po's judgment, just when the Chu army just saw the Zhao army withdrawing.
In the south, only five thousand Wei troops were stationed in the camp tower. Tens of thousands of Qin troops rushed into the camp hysterically.
The camp was finally broken.
Upon seeing this, Wang Lu felt relieved a little, and then continued to order: "Follow-up troops
Immediately complete the deployment from the south to the enemy camp! "
"Yes." The messenger immediately agreed.
Seeing that tens of thousands of Qin troops had broken through the stronghold and were about to attack the central army, the general of Chu suddenly became impatient. He didn't want to be made dumplings by Qin Jun.
Immediately, the general of Chu State led hundreds of his own soldiers and rushed to the front of the team.
Encouraged by the general, all the Chu soldiers also summoned up their last courage and rushed towards the southeast corner.
Today's Chu army has a clear goal, which is to rush out of the gap between the Qin army before the Qin army encircles them.
I have to say that the Chu army's luck was really good. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Qin army's main focus was on encircling and suppressing the Wei army.
After losing nearly 3,000 troops, the main force of the Chu army finally escaped from the coalition camp.
However, behind them, there were 20,000 Qin troops chasing them, which really made the general of Chu feel a little unhappy. But no matter what, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chu State. Although there are still pursuers, they are already considered as high as the sky.
The more than 10,000 Wei troops remaining in the camp were not so lucky.
Although the 5,000 Wei troops who were defending in the south had tried their best, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. They persisted for a short time before being severely suppressed by the Qin army. The next story was even simpler - ascending the city and defeating the enemy. , Open the Door, is an academic classic.
With the fall of the southern wall, the Qin army, which was far away, quickly rushed towards the Chinese army.
Obviously, this Qin army just wanted to carry out a "decapitation operation" for the coalition forces.
It's a pity that Lord Xinling and his Wei army have already run away by this time.
The beheading operation was aborted before it started, and the Qin army had to look at the more than 10,000 Wei troops still struggling to the west.
It was a flanking attack from two sides, and there were several times more troops. In the face of such absolute strength, the mere 10,000 Wei troops were no match at all.
In just one cup of tea, the Wei army on the west wall of the stronghold collapsed...
