With this defeat, Huan's army was truly defeated.
King Huan was afraid of death, and his soldiers were no better than him.
The 180,000-strong army discarded their helmets and armor along the way, and their battle flags and weapons were thrown everywhere.
Moreover, Li Po beat the drowned dog with a stick and pursued him relentlessly, refusing to let him go.
This pursuit lasted for more than a hundred miles, driving Huan Jun out of the frontline battlefield.
After finally escaping from the pursuit, the sky had already brightened up. Looking at the soldiers with crooked helmets, King Huan couldn't help but cry out in sorrow:
"What should we do, what should we do..."
He was wearing royal robes, and he looked embarrassed because he was on the run. Xiang Ge was beside him. He moved his mouth first, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, now our army camp has been destroyed, and all the food, grass and weapons have fallen into the hands of the Yan army. , many soldiers were also scattered..."
"This, how can this king explain to the allies!" King Huan grinned secretly.
Xiang Ge added: "Right now, the most important thing is to find a place to stay. Otherwise, our army will be in the wilderness without food and grass. If we are ambushed again, the whole army will be in danger."
Hearing what he said, King Huan immediately became nervous again: "Yes, yes, General Xiang is right. Hurry, retreat to our country!"
Huan's army was defeated and due to lack of food and grass, they retreated directly to the mainland.
As a result, the Allied supply line will be cut off!
At that time, information was not developed, and the transmission of information took time.
Huan Jun's original camp.
After some inspection, the 100,000 Yan Army was not damaged at all. Li Po even sneered and said:
"What bullshit allies! They are completely vulnerable!"
"In addition, this Huanjun camp has a lot of food, grass and weapons."
"This is a supply place for the five-nation coalition. There is a lot of baggage. Now it is cut off by our army. The coalition forces in front are not enough to follow up and will retreat without a fight." The deputy general said.
"What Commander Yue wants is to annihilate the enemy troops, not simply repel them." Li Po said:
"Pass our military order and immediately attack the rear of the Xuan army. We will coordinate with the main force of our army to contain King Xuan in the Lucheng area and choose the opportunity to encircle and suppress him."
"I have the order!" The deputy general immediately clasped his fists.
This was exactly Yue Zheng's strategic deployment, to retreat the Huan Army, cut off supplies, attack the Xuan Army, isolate the Liang Army, and ignore the Qin Army and the Ling Army.
Li Po was originally at the rear of Rao Xi. With his military order, one hundred thousand Yan troops immediately moved. In just a few days, the army appeared behind Xuan Jun.
At the same time, Yue Zheng mobilized 300,000 troops to coordinate with Li Po to encircle the Xuan army in Lucheng.
At this time, Xiao Yuan had naturally received the news of Huan Jun's defeat.
In the meeting hall, he couldn't help but crumble the battle report into a ball and throw it on the ground.
"Prince Huan! What a quarrel! The army of 180,000 troops was routed for hundreds of miles overnight! It's so ridiculous!"
Seeing this, Lian Xiao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, although the Huan army is defeated, our Jinzhou supplies have arrived, so our army should have no worries."
"That's not what I'm worried about."
Xiao Yuan stood up and said: "It doesn't matter whether there is Huan Army or not, but the important thing is that if this happens, Liang Army and Xuan Army will be in danger, especially Xuan Army, they cannot be defeated again, otherwise, the Allies will be in danger."
He is right, this is the overall situation, it does not mean that the Qin army will be fine and the Allies will win.
Su Yi shook his head slightly and couldn't help but said: "Yue Zheng's surprise attack was so cleverly arranged that it not only cut off the supplies of the Allied forces, but also used the opportunity to attack the Xuan army from both front and rear. Now, the Xuan army's food and grass should be gone." How much, once the siege lasts too long, there may be no hope of breaking out."
"Yes." Shangguan Wenruo followed: "And I think that since Yue Zheng dares to deploy like this, then if our army goes to rescue Xuan Jun, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses along the way."
"Sir Shangguan is right." Su Yi received: "It is impossible for Yue Zheng to not use such a simple siege and reinforcements. Therefore, the general suggested that it is best not to save the Xuan army in Lucheng if the king can."
Xiao Yuan didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but the current situation was like this. He walked to the sand table and seemed to mutter to himself:
"But now, only the Qin army can save the Xuan army..."
Judging from the sand table, the small flags of the Xuan Army and the Qin Army are indeed closest to each other and are on the same horizontal line.
After muttering to himself, he silently pulled out the flag that originally belonged to Huan Jun, and at the same time, planted another flaming flag behind Xuan Jun.
Lucheng.
The 400,000 Yan army did not come to the city, but occupied an absolutely favorable terrain and launched a large siege of the city.
At the same time, ambush and guarding were carried out on all the important roads leading to Lucheng.
The war situation here is clear, and Xuanjun has only two choices, either to run out of food and grass and starve Lucheng to death, or to find a way to break out.
In the Lucheng meeting hall, after learning about the current war situation, King Xuan immediately turned his beautiful eyes into anger and became angry. He slapped the table and cursed angrily:
"Prince Huan is an ordinary man! He is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has done nothing. He only knows how to take advantage of small things. Today, he has trapped my Xuan army to death! It is really hateful!"
This was because she was shrewd and did not continue to go deeper rashly, otherwise, the situation would only get worse.
And it was rare for her to get so angry. Seeing this, all the generals in the hall couldn't help but secretly swallowed their saliva, lowered their heads tightly, and did not dare to express their anger.
Counselor Wang Su bravely said: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. There is no point in complaining about King Huan. We must find a way as soon as possible."
After hearing this, King Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked coldly: "How much food and grass do we have for our army?"
"This is not much left. It can only be used for half a month." Wang Su returned.
"We can't wait for the food to run out. We must find a way to break out immediately." King Xuan made a direct decision and looked at the commander Yan Qi.
The latter understood, hurriedly stepped out of the line, clasped his fists and said: "If we break out of the encirclement, I would like to suggest that we should go to the direction of the Qin army and find a way to join forces with the King of Qin."
After hearing this, King Xuan thought for a moment, then waved his hands and said: "No, if you can think of breaking out in the direction of the Qin army, Yue Zheng must have expected it, so that may be the place where the most ambushes are."
"Then, what the king means is..."
King Xuan stood up and walked to the sand table. After staring for a while, he decided directly: "Just go to the southeast! General Yan will go down and arrange it immediately!"
"No!" Yan Qi took the order and left.
She did not choose to break out to Xiao Yuan's side. She was undoubtedly smart again. Just like what she said, Yue Zheng not only deployed heavy troops there, but also had all the crossbowmen and countless rolling stones there. Once he entered, An ambush is bound to lead to no return.
Under her king's order, the Xuan army launched a charge from the southeast that day.
It's just that this time, Yue Zheng laid out the battle situation and planned it carefully. It took a lot of effort to get to this point, but how could it be possible for her to break through easily.
