Chapter 59: Winning with Danger
Caught in the flames, the Qin army still did not give up hope of victory, and under the leadership of Bai Qi, they fought their way out of this vast fire and launched an attack on the defensive phalanx that Zhao Kuo had prepared.
Even though many Qin troops had already been buried in the fire, the Zhao army on the slope of the mountain still did not stop attacking, and more rolling logs were thrown from the hillside by them, making the fire burn more vigorously.
Zhao Kuo looked at Bai Qi, whose face was dark and uncalm, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how does the cemetery carefully prepared by Zhao for you feel?" β
Bai Qi ignored Zhao Kuo's teasing, pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed to the front and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, rush out with me!" β
Zhao Kuo looked at the remnants of the Qin State led by Bai Qi, and didn't take them to heart at all: "Wu Anjun, people don't use their muscles and bones as their ability, it's not your time anymore, I advise you to give up resistance and surrender to our army." β
"Fart, the yellow-mouthed child dares to make a big fuss, today the old man will let you have a good experience!"
It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Bai Qi delusionally wanted to break through the defense line composed of Zhao Kuo's personal guard troops with the defeat of the remnants, and it was difficult to reach the sky, and he was soon stopped by Lin Yi and others, and he could not advance an inch.
At this time, a group of Qin soldiers ran out of the sea of fire again, and quickly came to Bai Qi's side: "General, general, it's not good, Wang Yi led his troops to escape in the direction of the Dan River!" β
The report of the soldiers of the Qin State made Zhao Kuo, who was close at hand, hear it, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, hahaha!" Wu Anjun, this is the Qin State army that you rely on, and you actually gave up the main general to break through privately, it really made me see! β
Bai Qi clenched the hilt of the sword, he never thought that at this most critical moment, it would be his own people who stabbed this fatal knife.
Looking at the dazed foot soldiers beside him, Bai Qi sat on the horse and sighed: "Alas, I have the trust of the king, I am a sinner of the Qin State!" β
As he spoke, he put the sword on his neck, and even if he died, he could not be insulted by Zhao Jun.
"General, no!" Before Bai Qi could make a move, he was stopped by the guards beside him, "General, I will wait for the general to withdraw from here, and then come to take down the Zhao army when the general regrouped." β
When a person is accustomed to victory, any small defeat can deal a fatal blow to him, and this is the case now.
I saw that he lowered his head and had completely lost his fighting spirit: "You don't understand, we are defeated, defeated!" β
Zhao Kuo didn't take what happened to Bai Qi to heart, he only thought about destroying the remnants in front of him now, and turning around to rest and rest.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and issued a final order to Lin Yi and Qian Jian: "Lin Yi and Qian Jian listen to the order, rush forward for me, annihilate this Qin army, don't leave a living mouth!" β
Zhao Guo has been suffering from Qin for a long time, Lin Yi and Qian Jian didn't care how bloody Zhao Kuo's order was, and immediately agreed: "No, we will never let go of any Qin soldier!" β
Bai Qi's personal guards had never seen him like this, and seeing that the Zhao army had turned from defense to attack, he immediately knocked Bai Qi unconscious with a knife and shouted: "Fellow comrades, let's rush out together, as long as we retreat to the rear army, there is still hope!" β
The rear army of the Qin people did not reach this sea of fire because of the terrain, and it was considered to have preserved the last bit of strength.
When the rear army of the Qin people saw that the front and middle troops were ambushed, their first reaction was to rush up to rescue the main force of the Qin army.
However, Xi Ying and Peng Han were not vegetarians, and they had already rushed down from the halfway slopes of Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain, just to stop the pace of the Qin army's rescue.
Two armies of similar strength once again engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle in this narrow valley.
The wails of the Qin army kept coming out of the sea of fire, disturbing the thoughts of the Qin army, plus Xi Ying and Peng Han occupied a favorable terrain, although the Qin people were not afraid of death, they still did not break through the defense line composed of the two.
At this time, a team of men and horses ran out of the sea of fire, but it was Wang Yi who took advantage of Bai Qi to rush towards Zhao Kuo and seized the opportunity to escape from the ambush circle of the Zhao army.
At this time, Peng Han and Xi Ying thought of Zhao Kuo's previous instructions, and deliberately made a hole open so that Wang Yi quickly rushed out of the encirclement, but his remaining descendants were stopped by Peng Han and Xi Ying.
Sure enough, it was not to Zhao Kuo's surprise, Wang Di returned to the Qin army tiredly, and already knew that nothing could be done, so he immediately pretended to be Bai Qi's order: "The king has an order, the army will retreat immediately, and save the only hope of our Qin army." β
Seeing that the Qin army retreated, Xi Ying and the Zhao army led by Peng Han did not pursue, their goal was to completely annihilate the Qin troops who were deep in the sea of fire.
Zhao Kuo smiled mysteriously, watching the remnants of the Qin army rush into the sea of fire again with Bai Qi, he turned around and pointed to the old pass behind him and said, "The whole army is out and defends the old pass." β
He understood that Bai Qi's re-entry into the sea of fire would also bury the last glimmer of hope for life, and Xi Ying and Peng Han at the rear of the sea of fire would never let this Qin monarch cross the Dan River alive.
By the time they quickly returned to their hometown, LΓΌ Fang was leading the Zhao army to resist the attack of the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo climbed the city wall of Guguan, and just saw Feng Ting lying here covered in blood, he raised his eyebrows, could it be that Feng Ting did not escape the fate of history and died on the battlefield?
Lin Yi and the others had already gone to replace Lu Fang, at this time he had already walked to Zhao Kuo's side, looking at Zhao Kuo's eyes were all focused on Feng Ting, and said with some regret: "Huayang Jun was concentrated by the Qin army, and commanded the soldiers to defend the city with injuries. By the time I got here, he finally couldn't bear it. β
Zhao Kuo didn't worry about Feng Ting's death, and he didn't have such time. It's just the Shangdang county guard of South Korea, and since it hasn't escaped the fate of history, so be it.
"I'll leave it to you here, let me annihilate this Qin cavalry here, dare to be so rampant in my country's territory, I absolutely can't stay!"
"No, the last will obey."
At this time, the battle was just some finishing touches, Zhao Kuo believed that with Lin Yi and Lu Fang's skills, they would never let go of this Qin cavalry, so he was very relieved to hand over these things to his subordinates.
Zhao Kuo returned to his Chinese army tent and completely released the tension in his heart. This time, he made a dangerous move and used himself as bait to catch the big fish for nothing.
Although he experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, he still succeeded in introducing Bai Qi into the decisive battle he had prepared for a long time.
Fortunately, I did this, otherwise I would never have fallen into my trap so easily.
