Strike now!

The only 3,000 cavalry was immediately sent out by Li Ling, led by Yang Duanhe himself, carrying only dry food, without any baggage, and charging towards the hinterland of Zhao at full speed, avoiding all the enemies when encountered, and never entangled with the Zhao army.

These three thousand cavalry have only one purpose, that is, to find Huan Qi's whereabouts no matter what!

Yang Duanhe didn't know why Li Ling was so sure that Huan Qi had suffered a fiasco, it was clear that Huan Qi had won all the way before, and it didn't take too long to even capture Yiyang City.

But since Li Ling had already given the order, how could Yang Duanhe dare to delay!

After he left, Li Ling also changed his offensive strategy, no longer blindly ordering the troops to attack Yiyang, but spreading out the battle line in an all-round way, launching attacks in multiple places at the same time, trying to lure the main force of the Zhao army to reinforcements, so as to reduce the pressure on Huan Qi.

Yang Duanhe led these 3,000 cavalry, not only to hide in the territory of Zhao to prevent being discovered by the Zhao army, but also to find a way to inquire about the situation on the Yiyang front, and at the same time to ensure the speed of the march, but also to find a way to replenish grain and grass to feed the horses while walking, which was really difficult.

And when he went deep into Zhao State for only one day, he heard the news of Huan Qi, but it was not the news of Huan Qi's location, but the news that the Zhao army had won a great victory outside Yiyang City and almost completely annihilated the Qin army led by Huan Qi.

Things were as Li Ling expected, Huan Qi was almost wiped out, and in such a situation, Yang Duanhe couldn't care about being hidden anymore, so he directly let go of his speed and went all the way to the east, almost running wildly against the main defense line of the Zhao army.

Three days later, Yang Duanhe finally heard the news of Huan Qi, Huan Qi had successfully broken through to the south, but unfortunately Huan Qi only had a few hundred people in his hands, and now the Zhao army was also searching for the remnants of Huan Qi.

After knowing the approximate location of Huan Qi's breakthrough, Yang Duanhe's actions had a goal.

However, only another day later, Yang Duanhe's troops ran into the Zhao army that was searching for Huan Qi, but fortunately it was only a small Zhao army, and after losing dozens of people, he was able to continue his advance.

But this also means that he will encounter more Zhao Jun in the future, and his losses will gradually increase.

The pressure on Yang Duanhe is gradually increasing.

On the fifth day, there were two consecutive encounters, and Yang Duanhe only had 2,500 cavalry in his hands, and the Zhao army had already begun to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the Qin cavalry that was rampaging in the territory of Zhao.

Finally, after seven days, after Yang Duanhe had lost nearly a thousand more cavalry, he met the first soldier who disguised himself as a Zhao man and tried to escape back to Qin.

After learning some news through the soldier, Yang Duanhe wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and sure enough, everything was as Li Ling expected!

But now, all the three hundred people are scattered and replaced by Zhao people's clothes to deliberately hide themselves, in the huge territory of Zhao State, how can Yang Duanhe find it?

"Look for another day, and if you can't find it, go back immediately!"

In the face of the Zhao army that was approaching to encircle and suppress him step by step, Yang Duanhe could only hold on for one more day, if there was still no news after a day, he could only return the same way!

If Yang Duanhe had been hiding his whereabouts and looking for it, I am afraid that he would really not be able to find a single Qin soldier, but he didn't, and even looked for it with great fanfare on the last day.

Finally, on the last night before he retreated, dozens of people took the initiative to find him!

After these people heard that there were Qin cavalry rampaging in the territory of Zhao State, they were moving closer to this side, but fortunately, everything caught up.

By the early morning of the next day, Yang Duanhe had gathered more than fifty people, including Meng Tian, Baili Meng, and Zhao Xin, but as for the others, there was still no news.

However, the Zhao army had not allowed Yang Duanhe to wait any longer, and the scouts had already found signs that the Zhao army had gathered to encircle him.

Before the Zhao army completes the encirclement of himself, Yang Duanhe must quickly evacuate the Zhao State!

Here Yang Duanhe led everyone thousands of miles back to Qin, and Li Ling over there also blossomed on all sides, in just half a month, the five cities of Zhao State, finally, the reinforcements of Zhao State arrived!

Li Ling could no longer make a breakthrough, so he could only gather his troops and gather in one place to prevent them from being broken by Zhao's reinforcements.

The confrontation between the two armies has been formed, and after another eight days in this situation, Yang Duanhe, through the heavy resistance of the Zhao army, finally returned!

And the 3,000 cavalry he brought out, at this moment, there are less than 1,000 left.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Seeing Meng Tian and the others kneeling in front of him, Li Ling helped them up one by one, without much blame.

If you lose, you lose, the opponent is Li Mu, and he is alone, even if he is afraid that he will not be able to win.

"Yang Duan and you stay here, I'm afraid that the Zhao army doesn't have many troops to attack you now, you just nail me here, stabilize the existing defense line, and I will return to Xianyang immediately."

It can't be delayed any longer, Li Ling must return to Xianyang as soon as possible, now that there is such a big situation, I don't know how much chaos there will be in Xianyang City.

After fifteen consecutive days of galloping from the front line, Li Ling finally returned to Xianyang.

Sure enough, the situation in Xianyang City was the same as Li Ling expected.

The news of the fiasco had spread back to Xianyang, and everyone panicked, even Lu Buwei, who had always been calm, rushed to Qinian Palace as soon as he heard that Li Ling was back, ran to Yingzheng and Li Ling, and asked what was going on.

"That's an army of 100,000! This is all the cavalry of my Great Qin! Say no, it's gone? What the hell is going on! Li Ling, give me an explanation now! ”

Lü Buwei questioned angrily, he devoted his whole life to the Qin State, and whatever Li Ling did in the military, no matter how much pressure there was from the outside world, Lü Buwei blocked him, and at the same time provided him with countless intelligence.

It was under such circumstances that Li Ling's so-called initiative to attack, but in exchange for all the cavalry of the Qin army, they died in a battle!

It's not infantry, it's not something you can replenish by recruiting new soldiers!

These are all cavalry, they are all well-equipped and well-trained cavalry, once these cavalry are lost, what will the Qin State do to fight the world?

"Li Mu led the main force of the border guards with more than 200,000 troops to storm the Huan Qi headquarters, and the two armies fought, and the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us was huge......"

"Disparity in strength? The disparity in strength is not due to you! Can't you honestly move forward? And that Huan Qi, you have to listen to that Huan Qi! He was captured alive by Li Mu before! Now it's like this again! You still need to use such a person! ”

"What does this have to do with him! If it were someone else, the battle of Fat was a result! ”

"If you didn't use him, would you go all alone?"

"Middle Father! Master! Stop arguing! ”

Seeing that Li Ling and Lu Buwei quarreled with each other, Ying Zheng hurriedly persuaded him.
