With the collapse of the Wei army on the west wall tower, the entire coalition camp was completely lost.
Of course, Zhao Jun's camp was also lost. Meng Ao, who realized that he had been shot falsely by Lian Po, quickly reacted. Tens of thousands of troops immediately followed Zhao Jun's retreat and fell straight into the sky. They rushed towards Zhao Jun's camp.
The wooden fence quickly fell to the ground under the impact of brute force, and countless Qin troops swarmed into the Zhao camp.
What surprised all the Qin troops was that apart from the smoke and dust billowing away, there were only empty tents left in the camp.
The imaginary scene of wolves galloping and fighting did not happen at all, as if except for the Zhao army that had just withdrawn into the camp, this was an empty fortress.
Could it be that Zhao Jun had anticipated the alliance between our army and the Korean army and evacuated the camp early?
Looking at this scene, Meng Ao couldn't help but fell into a period of thinking and doubt.
But soon, the large amount of weapons and food found in the camp slightly dispelled Meng Ao's doubts. After all, if Zhao Jun had expected it, why not transport these supplies together?
But vaguely, Meng Ao still felt that something was wrong, but he still couldn't say it.
Until there were bursts of piercing sounds in the air!
Looking up, he saw dots of rockets flying towards his position.
Meng Ao finally realized something was wrong! Regardless of whether the Zhao army knew that the alliance between Qin and Han had left early, or it was because they saw something unusual in the main camp and acted on the spur of the moment, since Zhao Jun's personnel could withdraw calmly, there is no reason why they would leave so much weapons and food.
Even if it cannot be taken away because of its weight, it should be destroyed or buried. It should never be left in plain sight between camps waiting to be retrieved.
Zhao Jun definitely has the time and the ability!
But, thinking about it now, it's obviously too late.
The rockets landed on the weapons and food and grass, and with a "pop" sound, the fire was instantly ignited. Obviously, these weapons and food and grass were soaked in kerosene, and they ignited instantly.
"Quickly, exit the camp quickly!" Meng Ao immediately ordered.
After that, he turned the horse's head and ran towards the outside of the camp.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin army looked at the burning camp. In fact, they didn't need Meng Ao's orders at all. As long as they didn't want to die, they ran towards the way they came from almost instantly.
Under the instinct of survival, even the well-disciplined Qin army could not help but become panicked at this moment.
The more panicked the situation, the easier it was to make mistakes. Although the wall that the Qin army knocked down was spacious enough, it was still too short in the eyes of a group of fleeing soldiers.
However, in the face of the urgent fire, no one wanted to tear down other walls.
As a result, all the Qin troops were crowded into the "short" section of the wall that was knocked down. Because there was no order, tens of thousands of troops were almost shoulder to shoulder, and everyone wanted to leave this place that was about to become a sea of fire as quickly as possible.
The stampede, inevitably happened.
Fortunately, Meng Ao is indeed worthy of being the successor chosen by Wang Hao. The moment he saw the crowding and stampede, he immediately drew his sword and then led more than a hundred of his own soldiers in the swarming crowd. Going back and forth, using the heads and blood of hundreds of perpetrators, the army regained its former calm.
At this time, the fire in the camp was completely burned. If the Qin army had put out the fire from the beginning, the fire might not have been able to get up at all. After all, the fire array arranged by Lian Po in a hurry was not perfect.
But Meng Ao, who had been suppressed twice by Lian Po, was already a little afraid of this old general whom he had never met before. Therefore, for safety reasons, Meng Ao's natural choice was to withdraw from the camp to see the effects.
Fortunately, under Meng Ao's control, the Qin army quickly left the camp. Although the huge fire was terrifying, the Qin army's losses were only a thousand people. This is not good for the Qin army who is now rich and wealthy. In other words, it is nothing at all.
However, at the same time, the distance between Zhao and Qin also widened in the fire.
got up.
Yes, this fire was never intended to completely imprison the Qin army in the camp, but to buy time for the Zhao army to leave. Therefore, whether the Qin army chooses to put out the fire on the spot or withdraw from the camp, it can buy enough time and space for the Zhao army to evacuate.
Obviously, Lian Po once again suppressed Meng Ao's newborn calf.
Meng Ao, who was thrown another way, looked at the flames in front of him, and felt a burst of anger in his heart. However, after being suppressed three times, Meng Ao finally saw the gap between himself and top players like Lian Po.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Ao finally remembered General Wang Lu's instructions: Just do your best to tail attack, so that Zhao Jun can't rush to help.
Meng Ao suddenly realized: Although all of this was due to Lian Po's scheming, was it not caused by his own desire to defeat Zhao Jun?
If he hadn't wanted to induce Zhao Jun to attack, how could he have given Zhao Jun an opportunity to easily distance himself;
If he were not eager to pursue Zhao Jun, how could Qin Jun easily rush into his camp.
After waking up, Meng Ao finally gave up his plan to outwit Zhao Jun. Facing such a cunning opponent, it was almost impossible for them to make mistakes. The best way to win was to force him to use hard power to fight with Zhao Jun. Fight on your own.
Gradually, Meng Ao came to understand the Bianshui confrontation back then.
Discovering deficiencies and correcting them may be the way to grow as a general.
Obviously, Meng Ao was gradually becoming mature and becoming a general as he was suppressed again and again. .
But no matter what, the battle continued. Seeing that the main camp of the coalition forces had been defeated, Meng Ao knew that he must set off immediately and do everything possible to prevent the Zhao army and other armies from converging.
"Order the troops to immediately bypass Zhao Jun's camp and continue to pursue north." Meng Ao immediately ordered his cavalry.
"Yes." The messenger immediately agreed.
Immediately, a whimpering horn sounded in the cavalry array where Meng Ao was located, which was telling General Wang Lu of the Chinese army that the cavalry was about to set off.
Soon, the soldiers of the Qin Army followed the order and began to circle the Zhao Army camp to the north.
Passing by the camp, the crackling firelight seemed more and more bright and dangerous under the cover of the night sky. Burning inside, in addition to Zhao Jun's supplies, were thousands of Qin Army soldiers.
The wails of his former comrades seemed to be right next to his ears; the appearance of the rising flames also looked like a human figure struggling in it.
Everyone was a little frightened. If they had hesitated just now, I would probably have only a handful of black bones left.
Fortunately, with the speed of their war horses, the Qin army officers only glanced at the camp from a distance.
He turned around and turned the horse's head, only to see the murderous intent in his eyes.
Then tens of thousands of cavalry hurriedly followed Zhao Jun's footsteps.
Of course, this scene was also seen by Wang Hao. Watching Zhao Jun retreat from the camp, Wang Hao didn't know that there might be a scam, but Wang Hao didn't remind him again.
He believed that Meng Ao, even if he fell into the trap for a moment, would be able to react quickly and not cause the army to suffer too much loss. And this calculated scene is extremely precious to Meng Ao's growth.
Sure enough, Meng Ao did not disappoint him. Although he still lost more than a thousand soldiers, Da Qin could still afford to lose this mere thousand soldiers.
What makes Wang Hao even more gratified is that this fire not only did not burn out Meng Ao's strong heart, but instead inspired Wang Hao's desire to win and calmness more and more. This can be seen from Wang Hao's decisive order to bypass the camp and slowly head north.
Now that Meng Ao's side has been stabilized, the next step is the highlight of this battle.
Wang Hao immediately withdrew his gaze and ordered: "Light the smoke and order all ministries to be blocked and intercepted."
"Yes." A messenger on the side immediately accepted the order, then lightly clamped the horse's belly and jumped out.
"Leave five thousand people to clean up the battlefield. The rest will quickly head east, aiming for Gongcheng." Wang Lu ordered again.
"Yes." Another messenger next to him immediately took the order.
Not long after, the Qin army's central army beat drums vigorously, and more than 100,000 troops slowly gathered together, circling toward the east like a winding dragon.
But in front of this giant dragon, Lord Xinling was running wildly with tens of thousands of his troops.
"Report!" A rapid scream came from behind.
Lord Xinling, who was lying on the horse's back, struggled to support his body, turned his head and looked aside, and said, "Speak."
"Your Majesty, the main camp has been destroyed, the Zhao army has withdrawn to the north, and the Chu army has returned to the south. All our troops left in the camp have been wiped out." The scout immediately reported the situation one by one.
Rao was mentally prepared for the consequences of cutting off his warrior's wrist, but after hearing the news that the entire army was annihilated, Lord Xinling couldn't help but feel depressed.
"What's the Qin army's next move?" Lord Xinling asked immediately.
"The main force of the Qin army's cavalry is chasing the Zhao army that fled north. Because the Zhao army burned their camps to protect themselves, the Qin army was pulled away for a while." The scout immediately replied again: "The main force of the Qin army's infantry is chasing our army. Coming."
"As expected." Lord Xinling's heart sank again when he heard this.
Lord Xinling obviously expected that the Qin army would not let go of his 70,000 troops. After all, he had more troops than Zhao Jun. Even if this piece of fat was not as sweet as Zhao Jun, it was not far behind.
The good news is that the Zhao army still attracted the main cavalry of the Qin army.
If the Qin army mobilized their cavalry to pursue, I am afraid that they would have to adopt the method of cutting off the wrists of strong men again and use a small force to intercept the Qin army's pursuit at the mountain pass in exchange for the safety of the main force.
In this way, as long as he seizes the time, he may not be able to outrun the Qin army's pursuit.
"Explore again and report again." Lord Xinling immediately ordered the scouts around him.
"Yes." The scout immediately agreed.
Seeing the scouts retreating away, Lord Xinling immediately continued to issue instructions: "The whole army will speed up and wait until they reach Gongcheng before resting."
"Yes." The messenger next to him replied immediately.
"Your Majesty has an order: The army will speed up and advance to Gongcheng before resting."
The orders quickly spread among the army, and involuntarily, the steps of the Wei army officers became a little faster.
However, what Lord Xinling didn't know was that there were now more than 10,000 elite Qin soldiers stationed in Gongcheng, which he longed for.
And as the wisps of wolf smoke gradually rose outside Luo City, the Qin soldiers in Gong City had also received the news and were preparing frantically for war, just waiting for him to crash into him...
