"What?" Ji Xin's surprise was not trivial, and the calm demeanor he had before could no longer be maintained, so he directly grabbed the messenger's shoulder at once, and asked sharply, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The messenger stammered: "General Hui, yesterday a partial division of the Qin army raided the shore gate, and now the entire shore gate pass has fallen, and at least tens of thousands of Qin troops have crossed the Yellow River from that place!" ”

"Shore Gate?" Ji Xin's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he froze at once.

He originally thought that the main force of the Qin army was camped here, so the direction in which the Qin army crossed the river must also be near here.

In order to seek stability, Juxin even arranged a large number of patrol posts within a hundred miles of the upstream and downstream.

But Ju Xin never expected that the people of the Qin State would cross the Yellow River more than 200 miles upstream and unexpectedly conquer the shore gate pass!

The shore gate is closed, it is two or three hundred miles away.

The army of the Qin State was obviously on the opposite side of Pujindu, but how did it go to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which was hundreds of miles away, to cross the river, and unexpectedly conquer the bank gate pass?

Ji Xin's heart was extremely shocked, and the whole person stood there directly and froze.

After a full cup of tea, Ju Xin took a deep breath and forced himself to get rid of the endless negative emotions.

At such a time, as the commander, Ji Xin must be calm and calm, otherwise it will be impossible to lead the 50,000 Zhao soldiers under his command out of the predicament.

Yes, dilemma.

With the landing of the Qin army at the shore gate, Ju Xin and the 50,000 Zhao soldiers he led are now facing a very serious crisis.

As long as one is not careful, then it is very likely that this army under the command of Ju Xin will be directly made dumplings by the Qin people, and all the Qin people will be annihilated in this Pujin crossing!

As soon as he thought of this, Ji Xin immediately grabbed the Zhao army scout in front of him and shouted: "Tell General Ben quickly, how many Qin troops are there who have crossed the river?" ”

The Zhao army scout was taken aback by Ji Xin's sudden shout, and it took several breaths before he said: "General Hui, since the shore gate had already fallen when I arrived, I didn't dare to observe closely, but just looked at it from a distance. But what is certain is that the number of Qin troops is at least more than 10,000 people, and there are many boats crossing the river in a steady stream! ”

As soon as Ji Xin heard this, his brows immediately furrowed deeply.

If what the scout said was correct, then at least 20,000, nay, 30,000 Qin troops quietly crossed the Yellow River and occupied the Anmen Pass, which was a hundred miles north of Pujindu.

It's not good, it's not good.

If this Qin army took advantage of the situation to go south after occupying the Anmen Pass, and together with the main force of the Qin army on the other side of the river, they would attack the Juxin Department of Pujindu on a left and right, then the 50,000 Zhao troops in Pujindu would really be the turtle in the urn.

When Ji Xin thought of this, he only felt a chill coming out of his heart.

Wu Anjun, Wu Anjun, I didn't expect you to put the main force opposite Pujindu with great fanfare, but the real intention turned out to be - Shore Gate Pass!

Miscalculation, what a miscalculation!

So Ji Xin hurriedly asked the scout in front of him, "Can you see the direction of the Qin army's march clearly?" ”

But this time, the scouts didn't come up with an answer that satisfied Ju Xin.

Because this Qin army did not rush to open after seizing the shore gate pass, but chose to repair on the spot, this Zhao army scout naturally had no way to judge the direction of the Qin army's next march, and could only return to Pujindu as soon as possible to report the matter to Ju Xin.

Ju Xin waved the scout away, pacing back and forth with some uneasiness in thought.

"In terms of time, at this moment, this Qin army should have set off from the shore gate, and the direction of their march is likely to be Pujindu!"

As soon as he thought of this, Ji Xin couldn't be calm anymore, and immediately summoned all the middle and high-level generals of the Zhao State defenders, and announced a fact to these generals very seriously.

"Give the order to go down immediately, and in an hour the whole army will withdraw from camp!"

As soon as Ji Xin's order was announced, several Zhao army generals standing in front of him were immediately dumbfounded.

Okay, why are you suddenly retreating?

Someone couldn't help but ask, "General, why is this?" ”

"Why?" The drama laughed bitterly, and his face was full of bitter expression: "Because the Anmen Pass has been occupied by the Qin people, if we are a little late, then I am afraid that the whole army will die here!" ”

The generals of Zhao State were shocked when they heard this, and no one asked any questions anymore, and they immediately rushed back one by one to convey orders and summon their subordinates.

With this order, the entire Zhao Army's Pujindu camp immediately became chickens and dogs jumping.

You must know that this battalion has been operated by Xi Xin for almost two months since the start of the war, and all kinds of military supplies are piled up, let alone an hour, even if it is a day, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely sort it out.

But Ju Xin also knew that the situation was urgent at the moment, and if he didn't retreat, he would worry about the annihilation of the whole army.

So after thinking about it, Ji Xin's heart was ruthless, and he finally gave another extremely reluctant order.

"Burn, burn everything in the camp, including all the boats at the ferry!"

When he said this order, Ji Xin felt that his heart was dripping blood.

You must know that there are 50,000 stone grains, 10,000 sets of armor, countless bows and arrows, and hundreds of bed crossbows made by the craftsmen of Zhao Kingdom in these days.

If used properly, Ju Xin could use these things to firmly block the main force of the Qin State led by Bai Qi on the west bank of the Yellow River.

But Ju Xin knew better that if these things were not burned, then soon the Qin army would use these materials to continue to attack the rest of Hedong County to continue to kill and injure the soldiers of Zhao under Ji Xin's command.

The retreat of the 50,000-strong army was not a simple matter, and it took several hours until dusk that Ju Xin led the last group of troops to leave the Pujindu camp of the Zhao State.

Perhaps out of guilt, Ju Xin rejected the proposal of his subordinates to retreat first, and personally led a cavalry of 1,000 people to break the rear.

Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the cavalrymen carried torches and shuttled around the camp.

Countless torches were thrown into the camp, and the blazing fire began to ignite, and the billowing smoke went straight to the sky, and this scene could be clearly seen even from dozens of miles away.

The Qin army on the other side of the river apparently noticed this scene as well, and soon hundreds of ships began to depart from the west bank and head towards the east bank ferry.

Outside the Pujindu camp, Ji Xin sat on his horse, looking at the flaming camp in front of him in a daze, his hands clenched into fists, and his fingernails were about to sink into the flesh.

"Wu Anjun, what a Wu Anjun!"

Ji Xin knew very well in his heart that this time, he was defeated!

The Qin people broke through the Yellow River in a place he didn't expect at all, and all the arrangements of Juxin came to naught.

"Let's go, go back to Anyi!" Ji Xin no longer looked at the burning camp, and directly turned his horse to the east.

Now that the Yellow River defense line has been lost, Ju Xin has no choice but to retreat directly to Anyi and give up the vast plains west of Anyi to the Qin people.

But the arrogant veteran clearly isn't going to just throw in the towel.

"Wu Anjun, this is just the beginning, and we'll see, when the reinforcements arrive, I want you to know that my drama Xin is not a wasted person!"

With the sound of hooves, the figures of Ju Xin and his entourage were illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, heading towards Anyi in the east.

A few miles behind Ji Xin, hundreds of Qin soldiers began to land in the thick smoke and officially set foot on the land of Hedong County in Zhao State.
