Wei Xiong looked at Xu Qing, who was listlessly emerging from the tent with dark circles under his eyes, and Long Bing'er, who was shy but full of energy and looked back behind Xu Qing. He couldn't help but said: "Commander, you have to pay attention to your health.
ah……"
Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I know my body myself, it's just for one night, it's nothing..."
Listen, it’s just one night, it’s nothing!
Wei Xiong now admires Xu Qing so much that he stays up all night and just does good deeds to satisfy others. Isn't this a great philanthropist? What is this?
But now is not the time to advise the commander whether he should exercise restraint, as the Shezhao army is already about to retreat.
After Wei Xiong had arranged everything, Xu Qing called him over and asked: "Wei Xiong, what is going on ahead? What did the spies who came back in the morning say?"
Wei Xiong clasped his fists and said: "Commander Qi, General Long led the army to fight hard day and night. The enemy army was defeated and retreated this morning."
When Xu Qing heard this, he suddenly felt like crying...
Why does the future father-in-law have to be so anxious...
Can't you play slower?
Is there anyone who would cheat his future son-in-law like this?
Fortunately, General Long didn't know what Xu Qing was thinking. If he knew, he would probably be able to fight faster.
Of course, there is a reason why they were so unstoppable along the way, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army commanded by General Long this time was really too strong.
It was so strong that General Long himself was shocked.
No wonder Chu State has been able to dominate the world in the past sixty years even without firearms. Chu State actually has such a powerful army!
General Long had only one thought at this time. If he could command such a powerful army to fight once, he would have no regrets even if he died, right?
General Long was happy here, but Pi Luosheng was miserable.
He had long expected that Chu's army could fight, but he didn't expect it to be so capable.
Originally, in his expectation, even if Shezhao was defeated by the Chu army, they would have to persist for at least three days and then leave in the dark.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, he certainly knew why the Chu army surrounded three city gates this time but left one behind.
He knew better that the enemy would definitely leave a large number of crossbowmen and traps on their only path, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
Such tactics have been commonplace as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there are many such cases throughout thousands of years of history.
There seems to be a glimmer of hope, but it's still a dead end.
But it works every time.
This is a mind-attacking tactic.
What the commander-in-chief can understand may not be understood by soldiers, but what if everyone understands it?
If you stay in the city, you will be dead. If you run out of this city gate, you may have a chance of survival.
At this time, should I choose 10% death or 10% life?
Even the smallest hope has infinite possibilities in the face of despair, right?
So Pirosheng retreated with tens of thousands of remaining soldiers.
If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid not even these remaining soldiers will be left.
In fact, the situation has reached this level and is no longer within the control of Pirosheng, the head coach of the first army.
If he does not withdraw, the army will mutiny out of desire for survival, and he will be unable to bear the price.
Sometimes generals have to go along with what most soldiers think.
At this time, Pi Luosheng didn't know how many ambushes there were on the official road ahead, but there were definitely some. They would either rush out of the ambush range in one go, or they would die without a burial place.
At this moment, a scholar dressed as a scholar sitting on a horse said: "Commander."
Pi Luosheng asked: "Has the military advisor calculated how many ambushes will be ahead?"
The military advisor said, "According to my calculations, even if the opponent has an ambush, there won't be many. We have been estimating the strength of the Zhenxi Army, and Prime Minister Qin has revealed to us that the military strength dispatched by Longwu for this siege and street battle should be
This is already the limit. The error will never exceed a thousand. The presence or absence of an ambush of thousands of people is not a big difference to our army which still has tens of thousands of people."
Pi Luosheng, who was riding on the horse, asked doubtfully: "Could it be that the Chu army was determined to help Zhao regain the city and did not intend to quarrel with me? After all, if we leave a way out, we will indeed have to retreat from now on.
.”
The military advisor said, "It's not impossible. We have had a long-standing grudge against the Zhao State, but we have no grudge against the Chu State. There is no need for them to treat us, She Zhao, as sworn enemies like Long Wu did."
Pi Luosheng nodded and said: "Well, the military advisor's analysis is reasonable. In this case, we will speed up the march. This time we have brought out all the treasures obtained from the two states. It is not without gain.
Hey, military advisor, look at what these things are on the ground."
When the military advisor looked up, he saw that thousands of fiery snakes seemed to have emerged from around the army, scurrying wantonly on the ground. He felt suspicious in his heart. He had never seen this sight before.
At this moment, the commander-in-chief of society seemed to be the first to react; "No! It's a firearm!"
As soon as Pi Luosheng finished speaking, there were roaring sounds all around the army.
Everyone's horses were frightened. Even Pirosheng's horse threw him off his horse. He screamed and wanted to run out of this hell on earth, but he fell into a pool of blood before he could take two steps.
.
The people of Shezhao had never seen such firearms emerging from the ground, and they had no idea how to defend themselves.
Pi Luosheng also didn't expect that there would be no stumbling blocks or pitfalls on their retreat route, and there would be no information from the agency. There would only be a huge number of thunderbolts buried underground.
What makes him even more desperate is that they have not seen the location of the enemy until now.
But soon they no longer have to worry about this problem. When the smoke and dust raised by the explosion of Zhentianlei reaches a certain level, it will be difficult for him to see who else in his army can breathe.
Shezhao's army was also in chaos, and the powerful explosion even took out the organs of some people.
Many people suddenly have a little heart in their arms while running...
Long Bing'er hid in the dense forest next to the official road and looked at this scene with Xu Qing's telescope with a look of surprise on her face; "Can firearms still be used like this?"
Xu Qing said: "You don't understand this, right? We in Chu State call this mines."
Long Bing'er said: "You tell me this, you are not afraid that I will leak the secret. This is a firearms tactic, and it is much ahead of the Central Plains."
Xu Qing said: "By the time your Zhao State has firearms, our Chu State's tactics will have changed for who knows how many generations."
When Long Bing'er heard Xu Qing's words, she immediately felt like an arrow had been shot in her chest.
