Chapter 278: The End of the Road

At this time, Gongsun Jing, Xu Zhaoting, and Hou Juntai are like frosted eggplants, and like frightened birds.

The fierceness of the Qin army caught them by surprise.

The elite cavalry chased and killed Baili, which was also unexpected by them.

In this battle, the speed of the rout was so fast that it was much bigger than they had planned.

Along the Turbid River, 80,000 Wei troops, almost half of the casualties.

Before dusk, if it were not for the messenger to guide the way, it is estimated that the situation is even more dangerous.

All the mourning soldiers, cowering in the forest, the future is confused!

After a long time, Xu Zhaoting suddenly asked out loud: "Marshal, general, today's defeat is unexpected, this is not a place to stay for a long time, hurry up and think of a way to transfer as soon as possible." ”

"That's right, the Qin army captured Shimen Mountain, the army was supplied, and it is likely to continue the Northern Expedition, General Pan's situation is extremely dangerous!" Gongsun Jing agreed!

When defending the defense line of the Turbid River, he and Xu Zhaoting led the troops, and with the help of geographical advantages, they could also block the advance of the Qin army.

The Chinese army under the command of Hou Juntai, after being ordered to withdraw, replenished the Chinese army on both flanks, they were attacked by the Qin army, and the Wei army was almost out of order.

In the first battle, he had no power to fight back, like a rat crossing the street, and was chased and killed by the Qin army for hundreds of miles.

All the way to the stump and broken arm, all the way to the pile of blood and corpses.

At night, the remnants of the army are hiding here, if they don't quickly replenish supplies and ordnance, their momentum will plummet, how can they fight the Qin army again.

Mu Huali and Gong Lang heard the sound and glanced at each other.

They didn't know that the forest was not a place to stay for a long time, but they marched in a hurry during the day, and within half a day, they marched and fought non-stop, and the soldiers of the three armies would be exhausted long ago.

Do not rest, if how to march.

took out the water bag and took a sip, and asked Hou Juntai: "At present, how many people are left?" ”

"General, there are still 30,000 in the forest, so I don't know how many deserters are hidden in the bunkers!" Hou Juntai replied.

He counted the battle damage, which is not insignificant.

The military horses of the headquarters are even more seriously damaged, and three out of ten are saved.

Fortunately, Gongsun Jing and Xu Zhaoting led the remnants, and the total number of the three armies was quite large.

"Thirty thousand!"

Gong Yilang exclaimed, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he couldn't believe it!

Before the war, excluding the defenders in Fenglingdu, he led an army of 100,000, except for sending Xu Rongxing to leave with 20,000, all of them were arranged in the defense line of the Turbid River.

80,000 people, in a battle with the Qin army, lost more than half.

With such a number, even if the leading troops arrived safely at the Fenshui River, with 30,000 mourning soldiers, they would not be able to form a defensive line in the Fenshui River.

What's more, the Qin army scouts outside the forest scout, if they go out of the woods, it is difficult to predict whether the Qin army will go and return.

In the end, how many soldiers bravely arrived at the Fenshui River, at present, it is difficult to predict.

However, it is almost certain that this place is not a good place to stay for long!

Without hesitation, Gong Yi Lang admonished: "Gongsun Jing, immediately arrange a messenger, return to the royal city quickly, pass the news to the king, and suggest that the king send elite soldiers to help!" ”

80,000 defenders can't stop the pace of the Qin army!

The three armies mourn the soldiers, how to resist the enemy.

Without the help of the imperial court, the future is confusing!

Gong Yilang really didn't expect that he was carefully deployed, but he was still in a bad situation.

"Whoa!"

Gongsun Jing clenched his fists!

With a long sigh of relief, Gong Yilang turned to Mu Huali and said: "Great marshal, if the last general wants to lead the troops out of the forest, even if he can't go to the Fenshui River Valley, he should go to the Xiangshui River as soon as possible and guard the pass with General Pan, so as not to have another accident!" ”

"Fenglingdu fell, and the situation of Fengling City was confusing. The three lines of defense of our army were all exposed under the noses of the Qin army. However, this can't let the Qin army gallop to Hedong County, it's time to lead the troops to the Xiangshui River as soon as possible! Mu Huali nodded.

Fighting with Ji Xuanling, he led his troops back dozens of miles, so that he had just recovered from his injuries, and at this time, there was a faint pain.

Compared with his injuries, he cared more about the future of the Wei army and the safety of Hedong County.

Hedong County is in crisis, and Shangjun is isolated outside the Wei State, and the situation will be even worse.

Once the Qin army occupied Hedong County and continued its eastward crusade non-stop, even the royal capital was facing a crisis.

At that time, not to mention the trust of the king, Wei was also in danger of annihilation.

Coughing lightly, Mu Huali coldly ordered: "Gong Zhilang, quickly send someone to spread the message, gather the Wei army hidden everywhere, and assemble in the Xiangshui River Valley!" ”

"What?"

Gong Lang was taken aback.

He retorted urgently: "Great marshal, the bunkers everywhere are hidden, if the Wei army is hidden, waiting for the Qin army to attack the Fenshui River, it can harass the other party in the rear and delay their time!" ”

If the Wei army withdraws from the bunkers, many bunkers in the south of Hedong County will not be built in vain!

His original plan almost failed.

At this time, the Wei army was in danger, but it could not expose the traces of the Wei army in the bunker.

If the Wei army can make a comeback, this ambush army will surprise the Qin army, such as the 2,000 ambush soldiers lurking on the south bank of the Turbid River.

"I can't take care of too much, 30,000 defenders, can't the defense formed in the Fenshui River Basin be able to block the Qin army's edge, not to mention, if the Qin army near Fenglingdu goes north along the West River, in time, it is impossible to stop the Qin army if we wait for the defense in the Fenshui River." Mu Huali said.

30,000 Qin troops are too few, and he still understands the situation in the imperial court, and it is estimated that there will not be many troops to be sent.

Now, they have to do it themselves.

Hearing this, Gong Yilang sighed secretly, and his tone was still very firm: "Dashuai, the last general disagrees!" ”

"Well, as you say!" Mu Huali did not argue, after all, the Wei army in the bunker was not useless.

With Mu Huali's approval, Gong Zhan Lang hurriedly ordered: "Gongsun Jing, send orders to the three armies, replenish food, take a short rest, and in the second half of the night, the whole army will set off and move to the Xiangshui River!" ”

"Whoa!"

That night, Mu Huali, Gong Yilang and other generals led the defeated Wei army to evacuate north with difficulty.

In the early morning, when the Qin army found out, the Wei army had already disappeared.

Shimen Mountain!

It was night, Huang Haoran and Jia asked to lead the troops back.

The army rests for the night!

Early in the morning, Ji Xuanling immediately convened, Xu Wenda, Huang Haoran, Jia asked, and the generals entered the account to discuss the military situation!

After all, the soldiers are very fast, and they must not let the Wei army form a defense in Yanhe.

Staff, generals into the accounts.

Ji Xuanling's demeanor was high, and he said: "This king is ready to lead the troops to continue the pursuit, and the lightning will kill the Xiangshui River." ”

"Wang Shangming, it's time to go quickly and cooperate with General Xing to fight!" Lin Junchen said!

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and lead the troops to attack!" Yang Jingwu clenched his fists.

Seeing that the generals were asking for their lives, Ji Xuanling was in high spirits, and said loudly: "Well, in this case, everyone reorganizes the army and sets off as soon as possible." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should not continue to lead the troops north!" Jia asked.

Hearing this, Ji Xuanling asked curiously: "What is the best plan for Mr." ”

At this time, Jia asked and stepped forward, walked to the map, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the prime minister have discussed, and they have long suspected that the Wei army is distributed along the rivers in Hedong County, and at present, the Wei army is also doing this, and if it continues to go north, the army will encounter continuous resistance, and so, why not directly wave the army to the east and kill the king of Wei!" ”
