Le Cheng and Yan Xiong led Zhao Jun into the tunnel and marched slowly towards Xingyang City.
At this moment, in Xingyang City, a large spotted dog was lying quietly in a cave, with a soldier guarding it.
This is to prevent Zhao Jun from digging tunnels to attack the city. Dogs' hearing is very sensitive. As long as Zhao Jun digs tunnels from underground, dogs will be able to detect it immediately. Qin Jun can respond by digging a barrier to find the enemy's tunnels and use water to prevent them from digging tunnels.
Flood or smoke to kill the enemy.
The soldier stared at the sky boredly, feeling pain in his arms. He was sent to guard the crypt because he was injured. The shouts of killing from his comrades kept coming from his ears, making him a little anxious.
"Woof woof woof!" At this time, the big spotted dog that had been silent all this time suddenly stood up and barked wildly in a certain direction underground.
Dogs are not omnipotent. If the movement is too small, such as when Yan Xiong and Han Chen passed by before, the big flower dog will not react at all. Even if it feels a slight movement, it may think that a mouse is passing by.
But this time there were a thousand troops. The big spotted dog immediately noticed something moving underground and roared to alert the soldiers.
"No, Zhao Jun is digging a tunnel." The soldier was startled and ran towards the city.
At this time, the allied forces of Zhao and Han were attacking the city fiercely. Wang Lu wanted to command the Qin army to fight. He couldn't leave, so he had to let Lu Buwei lead some soldiers to deal with it. He believed that Lu Buwei could handle it well.
Lu Buwei quickly fetched tools, asked the soldiers to dig an isolation belt, and ordered people to fetch firewood to prepare smoke.
If Zhao Jun dug tunnels normally, Lu Buwei would definitely find them. But Zhao Jun's tunnels were ready-made. By the time Qin Jun started digging, Zhao Jun would have almost reached the exit.
"The exit is ahead. I'll go out first. If there's no one around, you can go up." Yan Xiong pointed to the front and said.
"Okay." Le Cheng nodded. The Qin army only had a few thousand men and had to defend four city walls. The possibility of them encountering the Qin army can be said to be infinitely close to zero. But it is better to be careful.
Yan Xiong climbed out smoothly. After looking around, he walked out of the room and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he asked Le Cheng to lead Zhao Jun out.
The Zhao army was assembled in the courtyard and without wasting any time, Le Cheng and Yan Xiong led the Zhao army to kill directly towards the north gate.
"Enemy attack!" The Qin army suddenly saw the Zhao army rushing from the city and let out a hysterical shout. Just as they were about to turn around, a sharp arrow pierced his throat and nailed him to a pillar.
But other Qin troops had been awakened and discovered the Zhao army rushing over.
"Don't panic, everyone, form your formation and follow me to block the Zhao army." Looking at the fierce flame bear charging towards him, the Qin army general responsible for guarding the north city gate swallowed, tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart, and held up his
Spear, shouted.
Hearing the general's voice, the chaotic Qin army calmed down a little and moved closer to the general.
"Fire arrows!" Before Zhao Jun could get closer, arrows rained down toward his head.
"Charge!" Le Cheng yelled. In such a short distance, a charge was in front of him, so there was no need to defend.
"Let's all die." Yan Xiong laughed loudly. The heavy halberd seemed as light as nothing in his hand. With a casual wave, he drove the Qin army rushing towards him into powder.
"Kill!" Zhao Jun followed Yan Xiong and killed Qin Jun. The weapon shone with cold light and pierced Qin Jun's chest.
There were only a few hundred Qin troops guarding the north gate. Facing a larger Zhao army led by two fierce generals, the formation was instantly dispersed.
The leader was even photographed underground by Yan Xiong.
Le Cheng rushed to the noose and cut the chain with a knife. Without the support of the chain, the city gate crashed to the ground.
Jia Yan had been waiting in the distance for a long time. When he saw the city gate open, he rushed forward with his Youyun cavalry without saying a word.
"General, general, something bad has happened. The North City Gate has been lost."
At this time, a fierce battle was going on at the east city gate. A soldier rushed to the top of the city in panic, found Wang Lu, and said urgently.
"What did you say!" Wang Hao suddenly felt his body shaking and almost fell to the ground.
"Zhao Jun...Zhao Jun appeared in the city for some reason and attacked us. We were defeated and General Li also died in the battle." The soldier said urgently.
"You guys..." Wang Hao was just about to send a few soldiers to check the authenticity. At this time, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from the city, and fiery red war clouds moved quickly in the sky. Wang Hao felt chilled and shouted, "
The entire army, abandon Xingyang City and retreat!"
This couldn't be reinforcements. If it was reinforcements, he would have gotten the news already.
The only possibility is that Zhao Jun really broke the city!
There was no time to think about how Zhao Jun broke the city. The top priority was to escape from Xingyang City.
Without hesitation, Wang Lu immediately led the Qin army to flee towards the west of the city after shrinking his troops.
Bao Yuan was the first to rush to the city. Immediately afterwards, the coalition forces surged up like a tide and occupied the city in an instant. Bao Yuan ordered people to open the city gate and welcome the Zhao and Han coalition forces to enter the city.
"Wu'an Jun, Wang Hao is sorry for you." Outside Xingyang City, Wang Hao knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, then got on his horse and fled westward, "Let's go to Hulao Pass."
The destruction of Xingyang City meant that the food route for the one hundred thousand Qin army attacking Daliang was cut off. All the Qin army's previous efforts were wiped out, leaving only one way to retreat.
"Report, Lord Wu'an's military order." At this time, a Qin soldier came flying from a distance. He was shocked when he saw Wang Hao and others, and then quickly handed over the letter.
Wang Hao checked the letter carefully and found no trace of opening it, and Bai Qi had left a very secret mark, so he felt relieved.
When he opened the letter, Wang Hao was happy at first, and then sighed deeply, "Go back and tell Lord Wu An that Xingyang has been lost."
"No." Qin Bing was a little surprised, but did not express any opinion and quickly got on his horse and left.
"Brothers, let's go south." Wang Hao said loudly, leading the Qin army to turn around and go south, chasing the Qin soldiers who delivered the message and fled.
"Boom!" The sound of horse hooves like a torrent came from behind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Zhao cavalry did not participate in the siege, but after the Qin army escaped, all the cavalry caught up.
The Qin army tried their best to escape, but they had just experienced a battle and were already exhausted. However, the Zhao army had been recuperating for many days, and the distance between the two sides continued to close.
Yan Ju even led Zhao Feiqi to rush to the side of the Qin army and kept throwing arrows at the Qin army. Almost every wave of arrows would take away hundreds of Qin soldiers.
Wang Hao was so angry that he wanted to tear Yan Ju and Zhao Feiqi into pieces, but he had no choice but to watch Zhao Feiqi shoot his own soldiers.
"Brothers, change your swords and charge! Let the Qin army see the close combat strength of our Zhao Feiqi." Yan Ju looked at the Qin army with only about a thousand soldiers left, pointed his scimitar at the sky, and shouted loudly.
The surviving Qin army becomes more elite as they go to the back. The entire 70,000 Qin army has been eliminated. Now, the last 1,000 soldiers left, whether in terms of physical fitness or will, even if they are not as good as Zhao Feiqi, they are not far behind.
.
Seeing the arrows fired by his side being deflected by the Qin army, Yan Ju understood that it was impossible to deal with these Qin troops from a distance.
"kill!"
Zhao Feiqi swept across the ground like a gust of wind and appeared in front of the Qin army in an instant. He swung his scimitar forward with force, a cold light flashed past, and his head fell to the ground.
"Go away!" Wang Hao looked at Zhao Feiqi, who was charging over, with a splitting gaze. Two lines of blood dripped from the corners of his eyes. A destructive aura spread from his body. Several meters long spear light spurted out from the tip of the spear.
Instantly piercing through the three Zhao Feiqi who rushed over, even the death-resistant effect of the Army Soul Legion was useless in the face of absolute strength.
But no matter how brave Wang Lu was, he could not change the outcome of the Qin army's defeat.
The two sides passed each other, and out of a thousand Qin troops, only less than 400 were left, while Zhao Feiqi only died in less than 50, most of whom died at the hands of Wang Lu and Huan Jue. If it were not for these two
People, Zhao Feiqi's casualties will be less.
Wang Hao glanced at Zhao Feiqi angrily, as if he wanted to imprint all this in his mind, turned around and fled away.
"Wait!" Just when Yan Ju was about to pursue him again and annihilate the Qin army in one fell swoop, Jia Yan suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong with General Jia Yan?" Yan Ju was a little angry.
"I feel Bai Qi's breath, Bai Qi is in front." Jia Yan walked over and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Yan Ju was stunned. He didn't know Jia Yan's talent. "Are you kidding? Bai Qi is besieging Daliang now, how could he appear here?"
"Really, my talent is unmistakable, Bai Qi is definitely in the front." Jia Yan said anxiously.
"Your talent?" Yan Ju was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, there is no time to explain now. Bai Qi is in front. We should report to you first and then decide whether to pursue him or not." Jia Yan said. He had a shadow on Bai Qi and knew that Bai Qi's presence here would definitely do no good.
I would rather be careful and let Wang Lu escape than let Bai Qi seize the opportunity and turn defeat into victory.
Le Yi led the Zhao army not far behind. When he saw the front army stopped, he quickly led his guards over. After hearing Jia Yan's words, he was a little suspicious at first, but after confirmation by Le Cheng and Li Si, he had to believe it.
There really are such weird talents in the world.
"Where is the front?" Le Yi asked, pointing in the direction in which Wang Hao was escaping.
"Xingze." Baoyuan said.
"Retreat. Retreat immediately. Send an order to the entire army to stop the pursuit." Le Yi's face changed instantly and he shouted loudly.
The generals did not dare to neglect, and restrained their men one after another to start withdrawing their troops.
Yan Ju reluctantly glanced at the direction in which Wang Lu was escaping, and could only follow the army back to Xingyang.
"General, we have recaptured Xingyang. Do you think we can allow the civilians who were previously expelled by the Qin army to return to the city?" Bao Yuan said to Le Yi with a smile.
"It's okay, it's just... they have been sent back to Zhao Country." Le Yi said.
"Sent back to Zhao?" Bao Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, damn, Zhao Jun's hands and feet are really fast, it's only been three or four days.
"Yes, they were expelled by the Qin army and originally wanted to join the Korean army, but the general did not order them to be gathered together, and the surrounding cities did not accept them. I could only gather them up and send them back to Zhao State," Le Yi said.
If the Korean army immediately starts to gather the refugees after arriving, Le Yi will never fight with him, and he can't fight with him. They are Koreans after all. But all Baoyuan's IQ seems to be focused on marching and fighting, and he will not be expelled by the Qin army.
The civilians turned a blind eye and allowed the Zhao army to close in.
The frustrated Koreans could only follow Zhao Jun to the Kingdom of Zhao.
"Hey, it's good to go to the Kingdom of Zhao. At least you don't have to suffer the pain of war in the Kingdom of Zhao." Bao Yuan sighed. The Korean army had just arrived in Xingyang a few days ago, and there was not enough food and grass. In addition, the Zhao army was gathering refugees.
, Bao Yuan didn’t take it to heart.
In the final analysis, he is just a general who leads troops to fight. In his mind, civilians are just consumables. Apart from providing taxes and serving as soldiers, they have no use. If there is less, there will be less.
Wang Hao fled all the way and finally reached the Xingze Embankment. When he saw his idol, he quickly got off his horse, rushed to Bai Qi, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly, "General, the last general has lost. The last general has been defeated one after another, even Xingyang."
They didn’t even keep it.”
The corner of Bai Qi's mouth twitched. After he received the news of Wang Lu's defeat, he realized the seriousness of the matter, so he stepped up his attack on Daliang, hoping to capture Daliang, and then quickly returned to support Wang Lu.
But after a while, the banner of Lord Xinling was raised in Daliang City, and Bai Qi realized that his plan to win Daliang in a short time could not be realized.
So Bai Qi left his commanding flag behind and asked Wei Ran to issue orders on his behalf to confuse the Wei army.
Wei Ran himself is the same as Wei Wuji. Whether it is managing state affairs or leading troops to fight, he is the best in the world. With him here, the Wei army will not notice Bai Qi's departure for a while.
After arranging everything, Bai Qi led four thousand Guanzhong elite troops and rushed to the place where the Qin and Zhao armies were fighting at night.
In order to avoid Zhao Jun's detection, Bai Qi hid day and night until he arrived at Shiqiu and learned that Zhao Jun had been attacking Xingyang for several days. Without saying a word, Bai Qi immediately led his army to Xingze, preparing to dig up the water in Xingze.
Flooded the Zhao army.
Yingze was originally formed by the overflow of two rivers, the Yellow River and the Ji River. Because the terrain is gentle and sediment accumulates here, the terrain of Yingze is higher than that of ordinary lakes. In order to prevent Yingze from bursting its banks, South Korea recruits strong men to reinforce it every year.
embankment.
It was the rainy season at this time, and the water in Xingze was surging. If Xingze was dug out, the water would flood the Zhao and Han coalition forces, and the Qin army would take advantage of the situation to fight out, and Wang Hao would also fight out of Xingyang City.
Even if the combined forces of Zhao and Han were ten times larger than the Qin army, they would still be defeated.
But Bai Qi didn't expect that Zhao Jun would conquer Xingyang so quickly.
In desperation, Bai Qi could only change his plan, from flooding Zhao's army and attacking from two directions to flooding Zhao's army, attacking all the way and killing the enemy as much as possible.
Wang Lu also understood Bai Qi's choice in this situation. So he decisively turned around and headed south, preparing to lead Zhao Jun to the edge of Xingze and give Zhao Jun a big blow.
However, Bai Qi and Wang Hao failed to realize that Jia Yan's talent was so extraordinary that he could sense Bai Qi's presence.
If he didn't have Jia Yan's talent, or if Bai Qi knew Jia Yan's talent and replaced him with other generals, even if the Zhao army defeated Xingyang, even if the leader was Le Yi, they would suffer heavy losses in the face of Xingze who burst the embankment, and even lose another chance.
The power of war.
Even Tian Dan with Hulao Pass will be defeated as a result.
But without if, although Jia Yan was not a famous general in the world, he resolved a catastrophe for the Zhao army, and also caused the Qin army to lose its only chance to turn defeat into victory.
