1475. The last time I set foot in Handan City

Zhao Ping'an looked at his subordinates and smiled helplessly.

"Alright, everyone, we must be ready to defend ourselves and meet the blow of Uhu at any time!" Zhao Ping'an looked at these people and said.

These people nodded one after another, at this time Zhao Ping'an's heart was helpless, without Changshan County, their troops would be reduced, which can be said to be even more of a crisis for Zhao Guo.

He looked at the map, he knew that if he wanted to save the situation in the north of Zhao, he had to defeat Wuhu here, Zhao Xi surrendered when he saw Wuhu's soldiers and horses, which must be because of the strength of Wuhu, which deeply shocked Zhao Xi.

If there was still a fight, how could Zhao Xi surrender like this?

In fact, there was another reason for Zhao Xi's surrender, that is, his soldiers and horses supported Feng Di, and in many ways, they were hit by the Wuhu troops, and their troops were seriously damaged, and at this time, the main force of Wuhu arrived again, and issued a threat notice, under this series of pressure, Zhao Xi had to choose to surrender.

Because he has no way out, as for killing himself, he didn't do it, after all, he is not an iron-blooded person, between life and death, he still chose to live.

After all, most people are still afraid of death, and in the case of survival, it can be said that there are very few people who choose to die.

Although many heroic generals, at the moment of defeat, chose to kill themselves, end their wonderful lives, and keep their last honor, there are also many people who are brave and choose to live.

After all, because there are few, they will be praised, and if there are few people, they will be respected, if they are all like this and become the norm, then they will not be so praised.

Changshan is a high ground, and both sides are deployed on steep slopes, and although there are plains here, there is no army at all.

And there is also a swamp here, for Wuhu and Zhao Ping'an, this land is not the home field, because the main forces of both sides are cavalry.

However, the high grounds, the swamps, and a series of steep and treacherous valleys, which were not at all suitable for the play of cavalry, but it was in this kind of place that the two armies met, and they had to choose to engage in this place, which they were not familiar with, and where neither was suitable for engagement.

Although both sides have set up their positions, neither side dares to attack easily, after all, this is not a plain, and Uhu is not very familiar with this place, if he attacks rashly, it is very likely to fall into defeat and fall into death.

Although Zhao Ping'an's familiarity with this place is more than that of Wuhu, the army is not good at fighting here, and all he can do is to occupy a certain high ground and defend Wuhu, so that Wuhu cannot easily enter Taiyuan County of Zhao State.

At the same time, there is another important reason, his army is only 50,000 horses, and the elite of these 50,000 horses is only 20,000, which is more than enough to defend the city, so he can fight with Wuhu, who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Although his troops are all cavalry, an important reason why he chose to defend here is that this place is suitable for defense, and the soldiers of Uhu are also greatly limited, which can effectively reduce the strength of the Uhu army.

This is also the reason why he chose to fight here, because this place can effectively reduce the opponent's combat effectiveness.

After all, defeating the enemy does not have to be stronger than the other party, but it can also weaken multiple parties and make the other party reach the same level as you.

The gap between the two sides is too big, and it is obviously impossible to achieve the same level, so he can only try his best to create a balance and defeat the other party in a balanced strength duel.

Handan City.

After Zhao Sheng received the news of Zhao Xi's surrender, he clenched his fists: "This Zhao Xi dares to betray!" He couldn't accept Zhao Xi's betrayal, Zhao Xi's promotion in the past, but this Zhao Xi surrendered without a fight, which is simply saying that he doesn't know people!

He has more than 3,000 customers, how can he not know people? But Zhao Xi really showed all this in front of him.

Although Zhao Sheng was very angry about this, he was helpless, after all, he still had a lot of things to do, and he still had to fight with Qi Tang, he had no intention of asking this Zhao Xi at all.

Zhao Sheng sighed, then looked at the person who came to report and asked, "How is Taiyuan County?" Did Taiyuan County surrender? ”

Zhao Sheng was worried, Zhao Ping'an saw Zhao Xi surrender, and under pressure, he also surrendered to the Qi State, if Taiyuan County was also lost, then the Zhao State could be said to be difficult to recover by him alone.

A Handan city, isolated and helpless, surrounded by the Qi country, even if it is defended, how long can it be defended? Maybe a year, maybe two years, but what about three years later, four years later? How do you keep it after that?

This subordinate glanced at Zhao Sheng, and then said: "Hui Gongzi, Zhao Ping'an did not surrender, but in the Changshan generation, he confronted the Northern Army of Qi State, and a big battle could break out at any time!" ”

After hearing this return, Zhao Sheng's heart was relieved, which at least showed that Taiyuan County still existed.

As long as Taiyuan County still exists, then everything is still saved, although this is saved, it is very slim, but in the slim situation, it is all saved.

Zhao Sheng looked at the people on the side and said, "Everyone, take a good rest!" ”

"It won't be long before we have a stormy battle!" Zhao Sheng was ready to fight to the death with Qi Jiao, because if he didn't carry out some big counterattacks, the situation would be more and more unfavorable to him.

Although he has won several battles now, these victories can be said to be meaningless, and they have not hurt the foundation of Qi Jie at all.

So he is preparing a Jedi counterattack, and then a big rout Qi Jiao, this is his big gamble, this bet is the national fortune of Zhao State, he can't pin his hope on Qin State, he can't pin his hope on Zhao Ping'an, Zhao Ping'an can always hold Taiyuan County.

Once Taiyuan County is lost, he will not have the slightest chance to counterattack.

So he was preparing for the last counterattack, a bet on the counterattack of Zhao Guoyun, he walked out of the camp after saying to his subordinates, and he wanted to enter Handan City.

Although he is very close to Handan City, since the war, he has returned to Handan City no more than three times, because the army cannot do without him, and this time after he entered the city, when he came out, if he couldn't win this battle, he would not come back, and he would stay on this battlefield forever.

Zhao Sheng already had the idea of a Jedi death battle at this time, what he said just now was actually to ask his subordinates to arrange the future, during this time, they would not attack, he wanted these subordinates to do some last things in their lives, once the death war started, no one knew how long they could live on the battlefield.
