Chapter 60: Winning by Risk

Zhao Kuo lay weakly on his seat, and the intense preparations for days finally came to fruition at this moment, letting all the pressure on his body drain away, at least he could leave this Changping battlefield alive.

Zhao Guo's hope, the lives of more than 400,000 Zhao Guo's children, and his own life and death were all pressed on him, coupled with the heavy oppression brought to him by Bai Qi, so he chose the most dangerous plan to lure the enemy into depth.

In fact, before the decisive battle, he didn't know if his strategy would succeed. Because this is a risky move, the slightest mistake will kill you in the war, let alone survive until now.

Listening to the sound of fighting still coming from outside the old gate, he felt more peaceful in his heart. He knew that the remnants of the Qin State could no longer pose a threat to the Zhao army, and after this decisive battle on the battlefield of Changping, it was enough to determine the victory.

Thinking about it, Zhao Kuo didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up again, Lin Yi, Qian Jian, Lu Fang, Peng Han, Xi Ying, and Fang Xiu were all standing in front of him, quietly waiting for the main general to wake up.

Zhao Kuo smiled when he saw these people, stood in front of them and hugged them one by one: "Everyone is back, how is the result?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't hide the excited smiles on their faces. Xi Ying knelt down on one knee and said to Zhao Kuo: "The general is clever, he actually found life in a dead situation, and led me Zhao Guoerlang to victory, please accept the last general's worship." ”

Lu Fang and the others all knelt on the ground, bowing their heads together with Xi Ying.

Zhao Kuo hurriedly helped everyone up, and said with some shame: "Everyone has tormented me, it's a pity for General Zheng Ze." ”

"If Zheng Ze knows that our army will return victorious, I believe that Jiuquan can also smile, and the general does not need to blame himself."

Xi Ying's comfort made Zhao Kuo feel a lot better, and he lifted his spirits and asked, "How about you haven't reported the results to me yet?" ”

Xi Ying and Peng Han glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "The front and middle armies of the Qin army were all buried in the sea of fire, and even Bai Qi did not escape death. This time, it is estimated that the Qin army will lose more than half, and there are probably more than 100,000 people left, less than 200,000. ”

"The 60,000 cavalry besieging the old pass were annihilated by 40,000 by us, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry broke out of the encirclement and withdrew in the direction of the saddle gully. General, are we in pursuit? After Lu Fang finished speaking, he also reported the battle situation outside the old pass.

"Poor Kou Mo chasing, those 20,000 cavalry will definitely not stay in Changping Pass, besides, I will also arrange for Wei Chen to wait for them there, calculate the time, and they should also come back."

"Today's success is due to the sincere cooperation of all of you, and a celebration banquet should have been set up to celebrate your achievements. However, the Qin army still has hundreds of thousands of people, and what we need most now is to deal with this remnant enemy. ”

Wei Chen also walked in from the outside at this time, and said directly: "The general is really clever, the remnants of the cavalry of the Qin State really retreated in the direction of Changping Pass, and they happened to be waiting for me." It's just a pity that they didn't completely annihilate this remnant of the army, and let them escape with 2,000 horsemen. ”

Qian Jian went up and punched Wei Chen, and said with a smile: "I said that at such an important decisive moment, you actually disappeared for no reason, and it seems that you are also going to do a big deal!" ”

Wei Chen didn't care either, hooked Lu Fang's shoulder on the side and said, "I handed over all my subordinates to Lao Lu, and I almost didn't break my leg in the past two days." ”

Lu Fang only knew that Wei Chen had handed over half of his soldiers to him, and when he heard Wei Chen's words, he asked suspiciously, "Old Wei, where have you been?" ”

"Hey, isn't this General Zhao giving me a death order, let me notify Xi Ying in the saddle and Peng Han in Changping Pass in the shortest possible time, otherwise you think Xi Ying and Peng Han are unpredictable prophets, where can you really set up reinforcements?" Wei Chen glanced at Lu Fang angrily, but still opened his mouth to explain to him.

"That's right, if it weren't for Vice General Wei arranging for his soldiers to follow the equipment battalion, the flames in the valley would not be easy to do!" Peng Han also followed Wei Chen's words and continued.

"Hey, what am I, I'm just carrying out the general's plan, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so well." Wei Chen didn't dare to take credit, he now admired Zhao Kuo's five-body throw, how could he come up with such a plan.

Zhao Kuo watched his generals fight together, and did not stop them. They are also in a state of high mental tension these days, and it is also of great benefit to them to release it.

But you can't let them let themselves go too much, after all, the Changping War has not really ended, thinking of this, Zhao Kuo opened his mouth to interrupt their play: "How about the casualties of our army?" ”

"I haven't had time to count yet, Peng Han and I have about 10,000 casualties here, and we can still fight." Hearing Zhao Kuo mention this, all the generals who were originally happy fell silent, and only after a while did they speak.

"The soldiers of the baggage battalion led by Huayang Jun Feng Ting suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only 20,000 people left. We fought to the death with the Qin army by the Dan River, and the casualties were relatively heavy. Lu Fang said that he knew the situation on the Guguan side, and immediately reported it to Zhao Kuo.

Although it was a big victory, the bravery of the Qin soldiers still caused a lot of trouble to Zhao Junping, and he didn't know if his next plan could be implemented smoothly.

Thinking of this, he instructed Wei Chen on the side: "Wei Chen, immediately count the casualties of our army, repair for two days, and then cross the Dan River." We must take advantage of the new defeat of the Qin army to take the Light Wolf City and drive the Qin people out of Shangdang County. ”

"No, I'll do it."

"Alright, you can also go down and rest, these two days of cultivation have given me enough energy, and now is not the time to celebrate the victory."

"No, the last will understand."

Everyone withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army, and the peace in the big tent was restored again.

Zhao Kuo understood that at this time, the Qin army still had the strength to fight, and if he could not leave all the Qin people in Shangdang County, he was afraid that there would be a risk of raising tigers.

But Wang Di on the other side is by no means an opponent that can be defeated so easily, you must know that even Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States, did not get anything good from him.

Although these four famous rivers are mixed with some water, it is enough to prove that Wang Yi is difficult.

This time, he relied on the plan of dancing on the tightrope to finally kill Bai Qi, and without the mutual constraints between Bai Qi and Wang Di, I believe that the Qin army he is facing is definitely an army with explosive combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo swept away the excitement in his heart, he absolutely could not give the Qin army any hope of turning the tables, and he must solve this remnant enemy with the fastest speed and the smallest casualties.

Zhao Kuo stood in front of the Changping map again, and immediately threw himself into the planning of the next battle.
