Banqiaogou, Bianyang's expression was grim, he was already thinking about giving up here, the Han army had conquered the commanding heights on the left and right sides of Banqiaogou, where they set up bed crossbows and improvised trebuchets made from local materials, and put the entire Banqiaogou fortress under attack. The loss of Banqiaogou is not the end of the world, behind him, there are Marschat rocks, and Xiping, and the steepness of those places is not under Banqiaogou at all. Although the Han army was able to take Banqiaogou, they also paid a great price, and this kind of attack is definitely not sustainable, if the attack continues at this casualty rate, even if the Han army finally defeats itself, they cannot have many people left, this kind of casualties, any general with troops will not tolerate. Because it's going to be a war without a winner.

Looking at the fluttering banners of the Han army in the distance, Pyongyang made up his mind that there was no need for him to fight to the death with his opponent here, and after retreating to Marshee Rock, it was equivalent to the Han army having to repeat the process of attacking Banqiaogou again, and he did not believe that the Han army was willing to "exchange huge casualties for victory, because this has never been the style of the Han army.

"Retreat!" He turned and walked down the head of the fortress.

When he made up his mind, in the Han army camp not far from Banqiaogou, Huang Zhan was also red-eyed because of the huge casualties, a division of 5,000 people, here casualties of more than 2,000 people, of which more than 1,000 were killed on the spot, and the other 1,000 people could not be put into battle again in a short time.

His heart was dripping blood, and Huang Zhan hated the Chu army on the other side." I'm going to kill them all!" He looked at the generals under him and said fiercely: "Organize the next attack immediately, don't take Banqiaogou today, and vow not to withdraw the troops."

"Yes!" All the generals in the big tent shouted loudly with red eyes, the two disabled regiments were reorganized on the spot and joined the other combat units, Huang Zhan took all the personnel of the division headquarters to stand on the front line of the team, and in the team preparing to attack, even the men abandoned their cauldrons and flat shoulders, put on armor, took up weapons, and joined the attacking team.

However, Huang Zhan's heavy punch smashed into the air, and the Chu army in Banqiaogou had already gone to close the air, leaving only an empty fortress.

"Chase, chase!" Huang Zhan was furious. However, before his troops could set off, the order of the army commander Zheng Xiaoyang had already arrived at Banqiaogou, and Huang Zhan's division stayed on the spot to rest, and the next round of attacks was handed over to the Guchao division. Huang Zhan, who received the order, was very puzzled, and when Peng Chaoshi rushed to his place to replace him, the daylily was cold, and he was afraid that the flat soil had already run to Marshall Rock.

Doubts are doubts, but the military order cannot be disobeyed, and Huang Zhan, who was furious, could only stop moving forward.

On the winding mountain road, the Chu army that withdrew from Banqiao Rock staggered on it, and the Han army suffered heavy casualties, but the price paid by the Chu army was not small, and the people who lost their combat effectiveness would never be less than the Han army, the gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment was too large, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army also exceeded that of the Chu army. At this point, Pyongyang had to admit that if the two sides were in an equal situation for a decisive battle, it would be impossible for his troops to withstand the attack of the Han army.

According to General Qu Wan, the next Chu army will gather a large force in Linyi to seek a decisive battle with the Han army, and now there are about 50,000 soldiers under the command of Meng Chong opposite him, if these 50,000 soldiers are all this kind of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of Chu troops gathered at that time will not be the opponent of the Han army in the head-on battle.

You must consume more of your opponent's forces in this mountainous area, even if you lose all of your troops. Bian Yang sat on a bluestone slab by the stream, looking at the troops meandering forward, and thought to himself. When entering the Zhangjiadian area, he had 25,000 soldiers, after a few months of fighting with the Han army, he lost thousands of people, and now there are nearly 20,000 people.

Stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of cool stream water and poured it on his face, Bian Yang stood up, tightened the silk silk of the armor, and secretly said in his heart that he was really a hard-working guy, he kept carrying the black pot in his hometown, and now he is a general, but he still can't get rid of this fate, but this time the black pot, he is willing to carry it.

"General Bian!" Ahead, there was a loud shout, and Bianyang's heart jumped, and a very bad feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, because he saw that the person who was rushing forward turned out to be a general of Marsh Rock, and something big must have happened.

The person who came was covered with black sweat, and when he ran in front of Bian Yang, his feet were weak, and he sat down in the stream with his buttocks, splashing the boss's water and watering Bian Yang, and before he had time to get up, his mouth had already spit out the news that made Bian Yang stunned.

"The Gao Tang soldiers of Qi pretended to transport grain convoys and raided the Bingdong Bay camp, and now the Bingdong Bay camp has been occupied by the Gao Tang soldiers, and the general Tang Wan was killed in battle, and the Gao Tang soldiers did not stop at all after taking the ice cave bay, and the soldiers attacked in two ways, and under the situation that the Chu army was caught off guard, Xiping and Songziping have been lost respectively. Now in the hands of the Chu army, there are only two fortresses left, Niukou and Marchiyan."

Flat Yang's face was distorted, his hands kept trembling, where was his Chinese army camp in Ice Cave Bay, where there were 5,000 guards, and it was gone? Xiping and Songziping were also lost, which means that the Chu army has only two isolated fortresses left, how can it withstand the opponent's attack?

The question is, why did Qi Guo choose to turn his face at this time? Although the overall situation of the world is very unfavorable to the Han army now, but on the battlefield of Qi State, the Han army still has a huge advantage, even if it is to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, it is inevitably too early.

"General Bian, you, you ......" The general who finally got up from the stream looked at Bian Yang and shouted, "You, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the other party stretching out his hand and pointing at himself, Bian Yang wiped his face with his hand, and what he saw was the blood of a hand, until this time, he realized that there was a burst of fishy sweetness in his mouth, and a burst of dizziness suddenly hit, and his body leaned back, pushing the golden mountain and pouring the jade pillar, and the flat soil fell into the stream.

A day later, the tiger head and the horizontal knife were smiling and strode forward, and in front of them, Zheng Xiaoyang and Huang Zhan, Ding Wei, and Peng Chao also greeted them with joy.

"Brother, long time no see!" Several people hugged each other tightly, beating each other's broad backs hard, the joy was overflowing, the Chu army had been surrounded by them in Xiping, Songziping did not block the onslaught of the tiger's head, the loss of Bingdong Bay, the blow to the Chu army was huge, and the sudden illness of the flat soil made the Chu army leaderless, and the remaining more than 10,000 Chu troops were all withdrawn to the Xiping fortress.

Xiping Fortress is not big, 3,000 people stationed in it is already full, but now 10,000 people are squeezed in, it can be said that people are crowded, people are crowded, and sometimes, it is not a good thing to have more people. What's more, from now on, they have no logistical supply, relying on the grain and grass stored in the Xiping Fortress alone, even if the Han army does not attack, they will not be able to hold out for many days.

Bian Yang was carried up the city wall of Xiping Fortress by his subordinates, looking at the fortress not far away, the Han army and the Gao Tang soldiers of Qi State joined the dragon, watching their generals hugging each other warmly, this moment, he figured out a lot of things, for this Gao Tang soldiers, he also understood, now he understands, I am afraid that this army of soldiers and horses that started from sea bandits has problems in itself, if the Gao Tang soldiers are really a force controlled by the Han army, then needless to say, Linzi is finished.

Bian Yang let out a long sigh, the Han State was far-sighted, and many years ago, it had already begun to plan how to occupy the Qi State, compared to it, the Chu State was too far behind, and the two sides were not on the same level at all.

He raised his hand and wanted to say something, but it kept trembling, and when he was halfway up, he hung down weakly, and the physician who accompanied him had already told him with despair that he had suffered a stroke because he was too agitated for a while, and that he could no longer regain his former health, and that he might have to spend the rest of his life on the sickbed.

This result made the flat soil feel a deep despair. At this moment, with his crooked mouth and slanted eyes, he looked at the generals gathered around him, and said to them with difficulty: "There is no need to make a dying struggle, although the sons and daughters of the Chu State are brave, they will not make senseless sacrifices, we surrender, surrender to the Han army, the only condition is to ensure the safety of all of us here."

The Chu army of Xiping Fortress laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Han army, this result was greatly unexpected by Zheng Xiaoyang, he originally thought that Bian Yang would definitely resist to the end, only to see the current situation of Bian Yang, he understood that this Chu general did not withstand a huge blow and fell after a stroke.

Tens of thousands of Chu soldiers were escorted and confiscated weapons, became prisoners of the Han army, and were escorted all the way to Linzi.

Linzi, Bai Yucheng looked at Tian Yuanyuan opposite, and said with a smile: "Now it's Tian Jingwen's turn, Tian Dagongzi, please write a handwritten order, Zhangjiadian is lost, the Han army has crossed Zhangjiadian and is advancing towards Linzi, asking Tian Jingwen to immediately personally lead a Qi army to return to Linzi immediately to assist in the defense, responsible for commanding the defense of Linzi, and handing over the affairs of Pinglu to Zou Zhang."

"You, you want to ......" Tian Yuanyuan's voice trembled.

"Just as you think!" Bai Yucheng smiled and said: "We will ambush Tian Jingwen halfway, Wei Zhiwen, who I left in Gaotang, has already arrived at the ambush area, of course, it is not only his troops, because a unit of the newly formed First Army of the Han Kingdom has already entered Gaotang and joined forces with Wei Zhiwen."
