Wang Ling in Changping Pass was not happy, and on the other side, General Lian Po, the commander of the 450,000 Zhao army, was equally unhappy.

After perceiving Bai Qi's true intentions, Lian Po moved his shogunate from Daliangshan to Hanwangshan.

At this moment, Lian Po was in the Chinese army's tent, listening to the casualty report being made by a general with a stern face.

"In the past few days, our army has suffered more than 40,000 casualties on the front line of Changping Pass, and more than 10,000 casualties on the whole line of Zhao Leibi, so the casualties on the front line of the pass are about 5,000. According to the report from Shangdang County, nearly 30,000 Qin troops have entered the Beishang Party from Changpingguan, Yaoshan, Shiyi, and Changzi have all fallen, and Tunliu, Changzhi, and Bayi are all infested with Qin army scouts or attacked by Qin troops. ”

In the big tent, there is not only Lian Po, but there are more than ten or twenty generals of Zhao State.

But although there were quite a few of them, the atmosphere in the tent was extremely depressing.

None of the news just reported is good news.

Looking at the line of Changping Pass first, due to the loss of Changping Pass, a gap was opened in the defense line on the northwest side of the Zhao army, and the Qin army obtained a passage to break through the Nanshangdang Mountains and enter the basin of the Beishangdang Plain.

Fortunately, due to the rugged terrain of the Danzhu Ridge previously occupied by the Qin army, it was not suitable for the movement of a large army at all, so if the Qin army wanted to mobilize its army, it had to pass through the open land on the north bank of the Dan River between Hanwang Mountain and Changping Pass.

It is precisely for this reason that in order to prevent the Qin army from moving northward in the past few days, several extremely fierce battles broke out in the open land on the north bank of the Dan River, and nearly 40,000 Zhao soldiers died in this open land, in exchange for the death of nearly 30,000 Qin troops.

Fortunately, there is a limit to the number of troops that can be deployed at one time in this open field, otherwise it would not be a small number of 10,000 at a time.

But even so, there were still 30,000 Qin troops who broke through the blockade of the Zhao army and successfully entered the Changping Pass.

After entering Changping Pass, some of these Qin troops stormed Yangtou Mountain and Guguan along the Bailishi Great Wall, while the main force went north along Changping Pass and began to enter the Beishang Dang Basin.

As a result, the flames of war began to spread in the Beishang Dang Basin.

In the past five days, with the fall of Yaoshan, Shiyi, and the eldest son, one-third of the Beishang Party has fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

And the other two-thirds, such as Tunliu, Qinghe, and even Changzhi, the seat of Shangdang County, were already under the Qin army's troops and were in danger.

Since the old pass was not lost, the current Changping Zhao army still retained this retreat, but because of the breakthrough of Changping Pass, the balance of the entire battlefield has begun to tilt in the favorable direction of the Qin army.

With the passage of time, the number of Qin troops entering the Beishang Dang Basin through Changping Pass will inevitably increase day by day, and it is completely a matter of time before the entire Zhao army is crushed with points and areas.

In fact, if Lian Po hadn't ordered the Zhao army to take turns to dispatch for several days, and did not hesitate to use the life of 40,000 Zhao troops to consume 30,000 Qin troops with the tactics of a meat grinder, then it was not just 30,000 that were wreaking havoc in the Beishang Dang Basin now, but a full 60,000 Qin troops.

If it is 60,000 Qin troops, then sweep through the entire Beishang Party Basin, at most ten days!

Of course, even now, no one dares to say that the North Party will be able to hold out for more than twenty days.

You must know that the Beishang Party is, for example, the future of the old pass, and the super rear of the rear.

Once the Beishang Party falls, then not to mention the Changping front, even the soldiers of the Zhao Army who are holding their hometown will also be dumplings!

Someone proposed: "General, in the opinion of the last general, it is advisable to send troops to help the Beishang Party as soon as possible!" ”

Lian Po snorted, and stopped talking.

As a famous general in the mainland, Lian Po certainly can't even think of this.

But the question is - where do the soldiers come from?

Yes, don't look at Lian Po's 450,000 horses (of course, there are not so many now), but this is not enough for the current Changping battlefield!

The current Changping battlefield is not only the Changping Pass, the Ancient Pass and the Beishang Party that are fighting, in fact, even the Qin Zhao Leibi line where the two sides originally confronted each other is also a pot of porridge every day.

Since the Changping Pass was breached, the commander of the Qin army, Wu Anjun, waved his banner, and the 600,000 Qin army launched an all-out attack on the Zhao army in all parts of the battlefield.

In the past five days, the defense line of the Zhao army has been fully tightened, and it is still too busy to take care of itself under the wave of attacks of the Qin army, where is there still extra troops to support the Beishang Party?

From the fall of Changping Pass to the present, Lian Po only sent 20,000 soldiers and horses through the old pass to return to the north to help the party, and this is already the limit of what Lian Po can do.

The pressure on the frontal defense line has been extremely great, and if the troops and horses are drawn from the front, then the entire defense line will be broken through by the main force of the Qin army led by Bai Qi, and then the central line will bloom and explode in an instant.

The current frontal battlefield in Changping is no longer Lian Po containing Bai Qi, on the contrary, it is Bai Qi who led the main force of the Qin army to contain the main force of Lian Po's Zhao army, so that Lian Po can not return to the north to help the party.

With the advantage of numbers, Bai Qida could sit and wait for a steady stream of Qin troops to enter the Beishang Party through Changping Pass, and then eat the entire Beishang Party, completely cutting off Lian Po's retreat.

This is a conspiracy, and it is an incomparably clear conspiracy.

Caught in a dilemma, this is the situation that Lian Po is facing.

But what can Lian Po do? Lian Po can't do anything at all!

Because the strength in Lian Po's hands cannot be compared with Bai Qi at all.

When defending, due to the terrain, the 450,000 Zhao army can be said to be more than enough to withstand the offensive of the 600,000 Qin army.

But when the battlefield between the two sides was fully opened, and the battle line was several times longer than before, the Qin army, which had a full 150,000 more people than the Zhao army, had a clear upper hand.

The current situation is that the Zhao army can only put 10,000 people in the same place, while the Qin army can put up 15,000 or even 20,000 troops.

What makes Lian Po even more headache is that there is more than one situation in this situation, but a common problem faced by Zhao Jun on the entire front!

As a last resort, Lian Po can only order the Zhao army of the party in the north to shrink in an all-round way, and strive to protect the major cities such as Tunliu, Qinghe, and Changzhi.

But even so, Lian Po knew that it was only a matter of time before he failed.

This is why Lian Po sent an envoy to Handan for help as soon as he knew that Changping Pass was lost.

After the Qin army obtained the passage of Changping Pass, the figure of 450,000 could no longer stop the Qin people.

At this time, another message came from outside the tent: "General, the party in the north is urgent!" ”

"Come in!"

A messenger of the Zhao army hurriedly entered the big tent and said to Lian Po: "General, yesterday tens of thousands of Qin troops have surrounded Tunliu, and the guards of Tunliu are anxious to ask for help!" ”

As soon as this news was announced, the tension in the big tent immediately rose several levels.

Tunliu, one of the important towns of the Beishang Party mentioned just now, is located in the northwest of the Beishang Dang Basin, near the Jinyang side of the old capital of the Zhao State.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Qin State arrived in Tunliu so quickly.

Lian Po took a deep breath and asked, "Who is the Tun Guard?" ”

The messenger replied, "General Zhao Kuo! ”

"Zhao Kuo... It turned out to be him? Lian Po paused for a moment, and the young figure appeared in his mind again.

In the past, Lian Po was disdainful of Zhao Kuo, but what the old general never expected was that now, he would have to rely on Zhao Kuo to hold the tunliu and resist the sharp offensive of the Qin army.
