Chapter 68: The Qin Army Breaks Out
On the second day, both the Zhao army and the Qin army began to prepare silently. The more than 100,000 remaining troops of the Qin State under the command of Wang Yi began to gear up, with the goal of breaking through the siege of the Zhao army tonight.
Lin Yi and Qian Jian's corporal had quietly returned to the Zhao army's camp under Zhao Kuo's orders, and they were also ready for the Qin army's breakthrough at any time.
But with Zhao Kuo's analysis, the Zhao army was not as nervous as the Qin army, they were just thinking about where to let the Qin army break out.
As night slowly fell, the air above Light Wolf City seemed to have condensed, ready for this war.
Standing on the city wall, Wang Yu closely observed the camp tent of the Zhao army, and when the lights in the camp of the Zhao army were extinguished little by little as the night fell, Wang Yu knew that the time he had been waiting for had finally come.
He quickly returned to the Light Wolf City, looked at the more than 100,000 Qin Guoerlang who was ready to go, stepped on his war horse and gave the final order: "The whole army set off, break through tonight!" ”
Just when Wan Lai was silent, the gate of Light Wolf City was lowered by the Qin people, and Wang Yi took the lead, leading more than 100,000 Qin troops to embark on an unknown breakthrough journey.
In order to prevent Zhao Jun from noticing, the Qin army slowed down, and secretly went to Zhao Jun's tent with the quiet night.
In Wang Di's opinion, Zhao Jun didn't seem to be aware that he and the others were already going to break through tonight.
But the closer he got to Zhao's camp, the more a very bad premonition emerged in his heart.
Even so, he didn't stop the Qin army, at this time, he was already ready to send an arrow, and when he retreated to the Light Wolf City, he had to wait for death, it was better to take advantage of the fact that the Qin soldiers still had combat strength and fight to the death.
Wang Di's hunch was not wrong, when the Qin army was about to arrive at the Zhao army's camp, the soldiers in the Zhao ambush had already lit countless torches, and the Zhao army's tent was as bright as day in an instant.
Wang Ji saw that Zhao Jun was really prepared, he was still in danger, pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed ahead, and shouted: "Soldiers, as long as we break through the blockade line in front of us, we can reach Hanoi, summon up your courage, and rush out with me!" ”
The Qin army rose to the last of their martial brawl and followed Wang Di to launch a desperate charge against the Zhao army.
Countless crossbow arrows shot out from the rear of the Zhao army's camp, and the vanguard of the Qin army fell one by one like leeks being cut.
Even so, the hope of survival still filled the hearts of all the Qin people, who began to break through the carefully prepared defense line of the Zhao army in the face of the fierce attack of the Zhao army.
As soon as they came into contact with the Zhao army, they were a little at a loss by the Qin army's fearless charge, and they originally thought that after the Qin army experienced defeat, it must be like a lost dog.
Unexpectedly, this trapped beast enemy actually burst out with more fierce combat power than the previous battle, and he was caught off guard and actually let the Qin people easily break through the blockade line.
The sound of drums rang out from the middle of the Zhao army, and Zhao Kuo was reminding the Zhao army with his own orders that these Qin troops must not be allowed to break through their blockade line easily.
Just when the Zhao army wanted to encircle the Qin army again, it was already too late at this time.
Despite the cost of 20,000 casualties, Wang Yu managed to break through the blockade line of the Zhao army with most of the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo sat on the horse, looked at the back of the Qin army in the distance, and waved his big hand and said: "Don't let the Qin people escape, the whole army will follow me." ”
Wang led his troops quickly to the banks of the Dan River and marched south along the Dan River. The intention was obvious, to go south into the Hanoi border of the Qin State.
Although the Qin army successfully broke through, Wang Yi still did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief. The Zhao army behind him was chasing after him at a fast speed, and he had not left the dangerous situation yet.
Just as he was thinking about how to get rid of the pursuit of the Zhao army in the rear, tens of thousands of Zhao army troops suddenly rushed out on both sides of the night, and Lu Fang and Xi Ying had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for Wang Di to send them to the door.
"General Wang Di, I hope to borrow the first level!"
Everyone in the Zhao army shouted these words and rushed towards the Qin army led by Wang Di, and immediately cut off the Qin people's troops from the middle.
Wang Yi looked at the troops intercepted by the Zhao army in front and pursued by the Zhao army in the back, and at this time he actually wanted to turn around and save him.
Wang Wei on the side immediately grabbed the war horse under Wang Gong's crotch, and said loudly in the noise: "General, you can't do anything, please take the overall situation as the priority, and lead the army to break through quickly!" ”
Wang Ji looked at the 50,000 troops surrounded by the Zhao army, and his back molars were about to be bitten off by him, and he trembled and gave an order: "The whole army is there, break through to the south!" ”
The besieged 50,000 Qin troops realized that their main general would not be saved when they saw death, and their hearts instantly became ashes. There was interception in front and pursuit in the back, and there was absolutely no hope of survival.
At this time, Gan Sheng, the general of the rear army, stood up and gathered the Qin soldiers in front of him: "Sons, even if we are surrounded by the Zhao people, what does it matter, as long as General Wang Yi leads the troops to successfully break through the siege, we will die and be honored!" ”
"Soldiers, take out the courage of the old Qin people, we will fight with this group of despicable Zhao people!"
Encouraged by Gan Sheng, the besieged Qin army erupted with an astonishing momentum, vowing to fight the Zhao people to the death.
Zhao Kuo led the army to arrive here quickly, leaving only 20,000 troops as the force to besiege the Qin army, and continued to pursue Wang Yi without looking back.
In his opinion, there are soldiers under Xi Ying and Lu Fang here, plus the 20,000 troops left behind, it is only a matter of time before he eats the remnants of the Qin people, and he can't lose the possibility of pursuing Wang Yi because of this remnants.
The herald scout came to Xi Ying and the two from Zhao Kuo's troops, and said loudly: "The general has an order, here the remnants of the Qin people are handed over to Xi Ying and Lu Fang, the two of you, quickly finish the remnants of the enemy and march to the predetermined location." ”
Wang Yi led the Qin army, which had been sharply reduced in number, to the direction of Hanoi, although the cost was huge, but finally succeeded in highlighting the encirclement of the Zhao army, as long as he returned to Hanoi to regroup, the Qin army still had the ability to counterattack.
Seeing Wang Yu fall into the trap, Zhao Kuo just pursued all the way along his retreating route, but always maintained a distance.
He already has a back hand, and he only needs to ensure that his army can rush in front of Wang Yi in the shortest possible time, instead of forcing his subordinates to speed up the march and fight a decisive battle with this Qin army.
Wang Ji hadn't noticed all this until now, and the two mid-ambushes made him very nervous at the moment, and his mind was full of wanting to take the Qin people back to the safety of Hanoi, and he had no time to think about anything else.
And the distance chosen by Zhao Kuo is also a headache for Wang Di, as long as he turns around, he can always find Zhao Jun's figure in his sight.
In this way, he didn't dare to stop, lest he be caught up and bitten by Zhao Jun, so that his sacrifice just now would become completely useless.
