Although the Jiuyuan Jingcai was almost wiped out, the Han army, which was also angry, was really brave and invincible without fear.

On the first day of the attack, the Han army relied on Jinglan and throwing stones and other equipment to suppress the coalition forces on the city wall on a large scale.

Forced to do so, Xia Huan could only order the cavalry to go out of the city to fight.

However, how could Li Danghu, who was pitted by Xia Huan, not prepare, and even, what he was waiting for was this time.

Of more than a thousand cavalry, only 600 came back. Such a result made Xia Huan feel very distressed.

So far, his Changxiu Army is about to return to square one.

"Withdraw?!"

Li Yan, the commander of the Zhao army, who had just been refreshed by Xia Huan's defeat of the Jiuyuan Jingqi, looked at Xia Huan in disbelief.

"His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, the army relies on the advantage of the city wall, although it can't fight back, but it can be defended to the death!"

"This king is incompetent......" Xia Huan glanced at Li Yan coldly.

Even if the relationship between the two has been quite good for more than a month, Xia Huan still said ruthlessly: "The people of Sanchuan were brought out by this king, didn't General Li want them all to be buried in a foreign country?" ”

Xia Huan's words made Li Yan speechless, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Yes, they are from Chu State, and they have already done their best to help Zhao Guo for so long, how can they force it.

Besides, Xia Huangui is the king of Zhou, and he is nominally equivalent to the king of Zhao.

The so-called son of a daughter does not sit in the hall, and the previous big victory all the way is not talked about for the time being, but now that the Han army has begun to ignore the casualties, it is only a matter of time before Kan Yu loses.

Could it be that the dignified king of a week wants to become a prisoner of the Han army?

"Your Highness is right! My Sanchuan army, when I went abroad, there were more than 25,000 people, and now there are more than half left, and even His Royal Highness's pro-army has suffered one-third of the casualties, could it be that King Zhao is the son of heaven? ”

Beside Li Yan, Yu Meng, who seemed to be rough, also glared at Li Yan with righteous indignation.

"This ......"

Li Yan's whole face was about to wrinkle together, obviously trying to find another way to save Xia Huan.

"General Li doesn't need to say more." Xia Huan put away his previous indifference, and then said with relief: "Kan Yucheng is small, and it is obviously impossible to block the Han army. Although Kan Yu will threaten Handan if he is broken, Handan is the capital of Zhao State after all, and the army and the people are united, and a mere 40,000 Han troops will not be able to take Handan. ”

When Li Yan heard Xia Huan's words, he felt that it made a lot of sense.

Handan is not Kan Yu, it is an ancient capital that has lasted for hundreds of years. Moreover, King Zhao's reputation is also good, and the people's hearts are indeed available.

"Rather than wasting a large army on this Kanyu city, it is more practical for the general to hold Handan."

"This ......" Li Yan was a little moved.

"Besides, the general is a famous general of Zhao State, and he is also the official office of Zhao State, this battle is for the birth and death of Zhao State, and he lost an arm, so who should dare to criticize the general?"

Xia Huan's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, which made Li Yan completely determined.

Although Li Yan is a general, it doesn't mean that he can ignore the pain of losing his arm so much.

"Yes, I have already been loyal to Zhao Guo, who can ask me more? Moreover, the withdrawal of the Chu State will definitely not be able to hold it, and this is not a crime of war! ”

Now that Li Yan has agreed, the remaining generals of Zhao naturally don't want to fight again.

To be able to go back, who wants to fight to the death here?

The Zhao army, in the middle of this, agreed to the plan of retreat.

However, although it is a retreat, it is impossible to retreat at will, otherwise it will be too easy to be caught up by the Han army.

In order to confuse the Han army, in the next attack of the Han army, the coalition forces made a desperate fight.

Although it was a great price, it also frustrated the Han army's attack.

"Da! Da! Da! ”

The crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded in the Han army's barracks.

After a day's attack last night, the Han army rushed to the city wall several times, but it seemed to be so close to that kick, and finally ended in failure.

And today, Li Danghu is still hesitant to go all out today and directly take Kan Yu.

"Major General!"

Before a scout set foot in the tent of the Chinese army, he was already shouting excitedly outside the tent.

"Who's making a fuss?" Li Danghu frowned, a little unhappy.

He has always been strict in the army, although he also advocates loving soldiers like sons, but he also dislikes the following crimes.

However, when the scout was brought in, he didn't see Li Danghu with his back to him, but just said with some joy: "Major General, the Chu people have withdrawn!" ”

"What? Withdrawn! When Li Danghu heard this, he immediately turned around.

"Yes, the young general, early this morning, the city wall was empty, and his subordinates took people to investigate, and found that the Chu people had retreated east last night!"

Hearing the news, many Han army generals in the big tent smiled.

After more than a month of hard fighting, it seems that they finally ended in victory.

Some even started talking softly while smiling. Between the words, there is mostly disdain for the Chu people.

What Chu people are afraid to stand and flee, Chu people are afraid of their Han army and the like, the list goes on.

However, Li Danghu, as the commander of the Han army, couldn't smile on his face.

What kind of army is Zhao State, and what kind of army is the Sanchuan Army, in his opinion, these sergeants are not worthy of being compared with them.

Originally, at the cost of five or six thousand people, eliminating them was the result that Li Danghu wanted most.

However, as a result, tens of thousands of people were lost, and even his Jiuyuan Elite Cavalry was close to being wiped out, and he couldn't see them destroyed.

Even if it seems that the Chu people have withdrawn now, and they have taken Kan Yucheng, they will lose face.

Especially now, the smug appearance of everyone in the Han army makes Li Danghu feel ashamed.

Obviously, in the hearts of the Han army, the Sanchuan Army and the Zhao Army, which had just been formed not long ago, had already become a strong force that could be equal to them.

"Assemble the army, pursue!"

Li Danghu slapped the table fiercely and said almost through gritted teeth.

The big tent, which was still a little lively, suddenly cleared up.

"Major General, since the Chu people have retreated, they must have taken precautions, and now with the current strength of our army, it is better not to pursue."

Because Li Danghu deliberately got closer to Lin Jue, Lin Jue's understanding of Li Danghu was far better than others.

When Li Danghu said this, he knew that Li Danghu would inevitably be ashamed of this battle for the rest of his life.

However, in his opinion, the loss of the Nine Plains Essence Horse, the pursuit is not of much significance. Now it should be done steadily, and there is really no need to increase the changes.

The big tent was extremely quiet, and everyone looked at Li Danghu.

To tell the truth, for Li Danghu, who is young and vigorous, and is a commander forcibly arranged by the Han Emperor, it is inevitable that some people in the army are not convinced.

Especially after the defeat, it added a few points to the original complaints.

Now that they have won Kan Yu, it can be regarded as a big victory, and if they report it like this, it will look better on top of their military merits. You must know that the Han State basically copied the military system of the Qin State back then, and military merit is naturally extremely important.

In the end, Li Danghu still sighed and said slowly: "Enter Kan Yu." ”
