Feng Luotang and the others were all taken aback, and when they raised their eyes, Zhao Jun had already pressed on the whole line and launched the strongest charge.

The Qin army had just wounded a general, and it was when the army's heart was unstable and it was not ready to charge. And behind its large array, smoke and dust have also risen, and it is obvious that Li Hong's sneak attack troops have already entered the battle.

"This is the moment!" This sentence flashed through Li Mu's mind. He quickly issued an order for all battalions, all chariot regiments and cavalry, to charge the enemy as fast as possible.

The fierce charge of the Zhao army was something that Wang Ben did not expect. He didn't expect that the young general Meng Tian was injured, lost this formation, and was about to send another general to call the battle, when the Zhao army's big charge began without warning.

Wang Ben looked at Li Xin. Li Xin looked worried, and said in a deep voice: "I'll rush up and take a look." ”

Wang Ben immediately issued an order, the former army was transformed into the rear army, and Li Xin led his front army headquarters to quickly block the charge of the Zhao army. And the Qin army all pressed back and held the Jingcheng Pass.

Li Xin took the order and left. I saw that in the formation of the Qin army, a black horse galloped to the front of the formation, with heavy armor, it was the young general Li Xin. The more than 10,000 front troops led behind him also quickly transferred from the Chinese army to the front line.

Li Xinjun will effectively replenish the battle losses of the left and right flank armies. But the impact of the Zhao army was too violent, and it hit like a mountain and a sea. The Qin army was caught off guard and was unable to make an accurate and effective counterattack.

By the time Li Xin arrived at the front of the battle, the Qin army had already shown signs of defeat. Quite a few chariots had been destroyed by the Zhao army. The heavy cavalry regiment was also divided and surrounded, and was defeated in a bitter battle.

Li Xin rushed to the right flank army, glanced at the unconscious Meng Tian, and said to several adjutants: "Quickly take General Meng down." We come, you retreat. ”

The army on the right flank quickly assembled and, after receiving the order of the commander-in-chief, retreated in the direction of Jingcheng Pass. And Li Xinsuo led the front army, using the fastest speed to list a long snake formation, blocking the charge of the Zhao army.

But after all, they had just arrived, their foothold was unstable, and they were in a hurry, so they had to change the formation and fight at the same time, and under the leadership of Li Xin, they tried their best to block the charge of the Zhao army.

But a charge on the pressure of the whole army, it was a momentum, and the momentum was like a bamboo. Li Xin alone bravely killed countless enemies, but he still couldn't stop the attack of the Zhao army, which was half a mile long.

While fighting with all his might, he shouted to the generals around him: "Don't retreat!" Protect the retreat of the main army! He knew that under such a rapid impact, the decline of the Qin army was already difficult to reverse.

In the battle for victory and defeat on the battlefield, the opportunity is only in a moment. Once you start to lose, you are defeated and have no power to flip around. Moreover, fighting on the plains, a thousand miles of collapse is the heaviest casualties.

Li Xin thought that he must use all the strength of his front army to block the Zhao army for the large army and protect their safe retreat.

Not long after, the main camp of the Qin army had already sounded the gong to collect its troops, sending a clear signal for the whole army to retreat. But the war drums of the Zhao army are beating more and more bravely. The sound of drums urged the army, and the mountains and seas poured down.

For a time, there was a one-sided situation on the battlefield. Zhao Jun finally showed his devastating power and swept in.

But Li Xin's front army was still putting up stubborn resistance. In the bloody battle, his black armor was already soaked in blood red. The forward army he led was doing its best to hold its ground.

Under the courageous resistance of the Qin army, the battle losses of the Zhao army were also very serious.

Lin Yu, who was standing on the cloud boat, only glanced down and muttered, "This reminds me of a word." ”

Feng Luotang and Shao Yi, who had returned to Yunzhou, all looked at him.

"Verdun meat grinder." Lin Yu said quietly.

Tan hurriedly asked, "What is that?" ”

Shao Yi sighed beside him and said, "A big battle more than two thousand years later. The most brutal battle of the First World War, fought for ten months, and nearly 300,000 people died on both sides of the war. ”

"Don't say so much, you see." Feng Luotang pointed to the battlefield below with the sound of fighting.

The advance army of the Qin army had already begun to fight and retreat.

"The big array in the rear of the Qin army is in chaos. It seems that the Zhao army has attacked the area of Jingcheng Pass. Lin Yu looked into the distance from the cloud boat and said suddenly.

"With a few raids, who will lead the army?" Long Xuanchen asked.

"Just look at it." Feng Luotang said, not waiting for others to answer, as soon as he pulled Shao Yi, the two of them took up the white python incarnated by the sword and galloped towards the area of Jingcheng Pass. Lin Yu and their Yunzhou had no choice but to follow immediately.

When I arrived, I happened to see Li Hongzheng being stabbed by the veteran who used the knife. The knife slashed at his thigh, blood pouring out.

Li Hong was still trying to resist another Qin general who was riding a horse and making a double hammer, but he didn't pay attention to the general who had made the double hammer fly to the front.

The twin hammer generals jumped up, swung their hammers and struck Li Hong's head. Li Hong was holding a silver spear with both hands, and he had just carried the two slams of the two hammers, and he couldn't avoid the heavy hammer that flew and hit the skull.

At this critical moment, Feng Luotang quickly emitted a dragon qi from dozens of zhang away, like a sword qi, blocking the power of the heavy hammer.

But despite this, because she was too far away, the sword qi was still not enough to break the powerful and heavy hammer, and it was only eight points of strength.

The heavy hammer still struck Li Hong's helmet with the force of the end of the crossbow.

Li Hong was instantly enlightened, his eyes were black, and he lost consciousness. Feng Luotang saw Li Hong roll off his horse, and the general with a knife next to him was about to rush up and cut off his head with a knife.

At this time, Feng Luotang and Shao Yi had already arrived in front of the python. Shao Yi took out the golden sword of the cadre, and directly separated the man's broadsword with a sword.

Lin Yu, who arrived later, once again offered the Panyun Order, mobilized the wind to make a strong blow, and the flying sand was everywhere, so that whether it was the Qin army or the Zhao army, they were instantly blinded by the yellow sand and couldn't see anything clearly.

Feng Luotang stepped forward to rescue Li Hong, and then looked at the surrounding situation, it turned out that Li Hong's team of 8,000 people had only less than 3,000 men and horses left until now, and the battle damage was serious.

Long Xuanchen and Lin Yu rescued some of the wounded soldiers, about less than a thousand. The remaining 3,000 people of the Zhao army have been heavily surrounded, and there is no hope of survival.

Feng Luotang shouted: "Young master, take them away." ”

Shao Yi swiped his hands and urged the mana to make the enchantment gate. And Feng Luotang made a ghost light, showed his figure, and shouted to the group of Zhao soldiers: "General Li Mu has an order, quickly evacuate this place." ”

At the same time, Lin Yu also showed his figure, called the surviving lieutenant general, and carried Li Hong on his shoulder. Lin Yu pointed to the gate of the enchantment and said, "Retreat with your general." As he spoke, he pushed the lieutenant who was carrying Li Hong on his back into the enchantment and sent him to Hanhai Continent.

The remaining officers and soldiers of the Zhao State hesitated for a moment, and then followed the unconscious Li Hong and rushed into the enchantment. ‘

When Feng Luotang asked them to go, he took as many of their wounded brothers as he could. There have been arrangements in Hanhaizhou for a long time. As soon as these people enter, they receive emergency treatment.

Feng Luotang thought that Li Hong should have no worries about his life. It's just that I don't know what year and month I can see his father and family again.

The flying sand and rocks in a moment made all the people of the Qin State lose their eyes and breathless.

As they struggled to get a better look, the wind and sand stopped, and all the enemies around them disappeared, as if the battle had never happened. There are only some corpses of fallen soldiers of the Zhao State, which proves that this place was raided by the Zhao army.

？？

？？

Li Xin's front army didn't even hold up a stick of incense, and was shocked by the Zhao army, which was several times his own, to the point that he had to retreat step by step.

Li Xin reluctantly swung his sword and continued to repel the surrounding enemies, while constantly issuing orders to control the speed of the retreat of the whole army. In particular, the wings must not retreat too quickly. Be sure to keep the defensive front.

It wasn't until the front line defended by the front army had been forced to retreat for nearly five miles, and when Li Xin looked back, he found that the Qin army had disappeared out of sight, so he ordered the front army to speed up the retreat, but still maintain the formation.

After retreating for nearly twenty miles, the Zhao army that was charging and pursuing was also tired. And the Qin army has fought to exhaustion.

Li Xin only felt that his hands and arms were not his own. He was still wielding the war knife in his hand mechanically, and the Zhao army that rushed up was obviously not as fast as just now.

At this time, Li Xin turned around and looked again, and was excited to find that a few miles away, the Qin army had rearranged the large array to meet the enemy. The neat phalanx and rows of chariots are all in place.

The battle flag of the Qin State waving in the wind, although it was already covered with mud, was still hunting and flying in the wind.

Li is confident in Dading. He shouted an order for the whole army to retreat hastily and retreat to the Chinese camp.

All the soldiers of the Qin army suddenly turned their horses' heads, and a group of heavily armored cavalry withdrew to the main camp of the Qin army at the fastest speed they could.

Wang Ben commanded the Qin army to rearrange the large array, and the Zhao army that came to pursue had to stop.

The Zhao army gathered men and horses, and also rearranged the troops as soon as possible, in case the Qin army suddenly counterattacked and charged, causing unnecessary casualties.

The two armies of Qin and Zhao re-entered into a standoff on the plain not far from Jingcheng Pass.

Although Wang Ben arrayed to save Li Xin's front army, he knew in his heart that this battle was basically lost.

Because of his army of 70,000, after this brutal battle, only about 40,000 remained.

And Zhao Jun is gaining momentum. The front that has been spread out is now almost twice as large as the Qin army. If the charge is launched again after resting, Wang Ben's army will have no room for victory.

The Qin army is now just expelling this bluffing position, forcing the Zhao army to stop the pursuit of victory, but the combat effectiveness inside is only really clear to the generals.

That night, the two sides again ceased fighting.

Feng Luotang and a few of them were also tired this day. When the Zhao army frantically pursued the Qin army, he left behind a large area of blood-stained battlefield.

The four people and two ghosts were on that battlefield, using the wind and flying sand as a cover, and constantly rescued all the wounded soldiers who were still alive from the pile of dead people, regardless of Qin Zhao.

In the end, after counting, they rescued more than 12,000 wounded during the three days of fighting. A small number of them may eventually die. But most of them should be able to save their lives with the help of the latest medical technology in the North Underworld Base.

It's just that most of these people, like the soldiers of the Huan Qi army in the past, should not be able to return to their hometowns.

？？

？？

Wang Ben, who returned to the main camp, was depressed in his heart. This time, he can truly understand the true meaning of his father Wang Jian saying that "Li Mu is not easy to fight".

It's just that this realization comes at the cost of tens of thousands of sacrifices.

Wang Ben called Li Xin and several other high-ranking generals to discuss the current situation together.

Li Xin said: "In the case of equal troops, none of us have been able to compete with the Zhao army. If you lose today, you want to turn over again, unless you have a surprise attack. ”

Wang Ben said: "My father once instructed that this time to the east, we must preserve the strength of the Qin army as much as possible. Our casualties in this battle were too heavy. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that even if you fight all the people, you may not be able to hit Handan. ”

"Not necessarily." Li Xin said suddenly.

Wang Ben raised his head suddenly, stared at Li Xin and asked eagerly, "What do you say?" ”

Li Xin said: "Yang Duan and General Yang should have reached Handan South all the way. If they can add another 40,000 troops, they may have enough combat power to encircle Handan. ”

"What do you mean......" Wang Ben was not quite sure what Li Xin thought.

"But there is a premise here, that is, Li Mu's tens of thousands of people can't go back. So we're going to be fast. Li Xin's speech quickened.

"You mean, we're going south at once to join General Yang's troops. If we are fast enough, we can get a head start. Wang Ben stared at Li Xin's eyes, interpreting the meaning of Li Xin's words.

"Go directly to Handan!" Wang Ben's mind was like a flash of inspiration, and suddenly it suddenly brightened. He laughed and said, "That's a great idea! The division of troops is to encircle the circle. ”

"If we pass this battle, we can leave Li Mu's army here, and use the fastest speed to join forces, we will be able to encircle Handan! That's it! Wang Ben said loudly and took the case.

Since he has made up his mind, Wang Ben will do what he says. The Qin army took advantage of the darkness overnight and quickly passed through Jingcheng Pass and turned back to the Jinzhong Plain. By the early morning, there was no trace of the evacuation.

Li Mu received a report from Tanma in the middle of the night, saying that the Qin army had begun a large-scale evacuation. Late-night pursuits are easy to ambush. Li Mu would not let Zhao Jun fall into danger in such a complex terrain as Jingcheng Pass.

By early morning, all the Qin troops had withdrawn. Li Mu's Chinese army also moved to the vicinity of Jingcheng Pass.

His face was full of solemnity, looking at the direction of Jing Chengguan, and he was silent.

The surrounding generals, including Yan Ju, Zhao Cong and Li Mu's eldest son Li Ji and youngest daughter Li Luotang, all thought that the general was sad because of the loss of his second son Li Hong, so no one dared to ask each other.

What everyone didn't expect was that half an hour later, Li Mu suddenly raised his head and ordered loudly and resolutely: "Quickly assemble the army and march south." ”

Li Ji hurriedly asked: "Why don't we go back to Gaocheng to rest?" ”

"It's too late!" Li Mu said: "Quickly return to Handan.

The army of Zhao did not have time to clear the battlefield, so they immediately assembled and re-replenished the fighters nearby. Except for 10,000 men who were left to hold the city near Jingcheng, the rest of the men and horses all advanced south at the fastest speed, heading towards Handan.

Li Mu knew in his heart that the tens of thousands of Qin troops who disappeared would not necessarily return to the Qin State. Most likely, they will directly join forces with the army of the South Route and attack Handan.

If so, then now, speed and the choice of the best route of march will be the key to the victory of the entire campaign.

？？

？？

After Li Mu's army quickly marched towards Handan, Gongzijia also got on the carriage back to Handan from Gaocheng.

Before leaving, he solemnly handed over the two bookcases to Lin Yu and the others.

Thinking of Lin Yu's sparkling eyes when he saw the two bookcases, and the excitement of his little sister jumping up and hugging the bookcase, the corners of Gongzijia's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Just know they've been looking for this. They didn't know what they were looking for from this ancient map, but Childe believed it must be important.

Gongzijia must rush back to Handan immediately, and be able to enter the royal city before the big battle behind.

He was very strange about what Lin Yu said to him before they left.

"There's no big war anymore." Lin Yu raised his eyes and looked at Gongzijia and said, "Big brother, don't worry on the way back. Just walk slowly. ”

"Why?" Childe Jia couldn't help but ask.

Feng Luotang said with a smile: "Big brother, because that's Li Mu!" ”

Childe Jia is still puzzled. The teenagers didn't say anything more, and they prepared to take their leave.

Tan Da stood behind Shao Yi, fluttering, holding the skull Teacher Wang in his right hand, and said to Gongzijia: "After the two of us leave, will you sleep more at ease?" ”

Gongzi Jialuo bowed down and said, "There is a senior brother who is always by his side, and he can't ask for it." ”

The two ghosts laughed and showed the happy parting of the ghosts.

Several people broke up and agreed to meet again in Hanshan Courtyard on the day of the Spring Society more than a month later.
