Chapter Seventy-Six: The Situation Is Critical
The firelight lit up the night like day, and the soldiers on both sides seemed to have a posture that they would never stop until they completely defeated each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info one by one phalanx rushed to the battlefield, fighting from day to night, and the victory or defeat was still undecided.
A Wei soldier quickly ran into the Chinese army, and when he saw Pang Juan, he bowed and saluted: "General, according to reliable information, King Zhao has gathered 300,000 troops and is now killing in the direction of our army."
"How soon is it expected that they will be able to arrive". Pang Juan's brows gradually furrowed, and it seemed that there was not much time left for him.
The soldier was calculating for a while, and looked at Pang Juan: "Tomorrow morning at the earliest."
"Where is Zhang Meng". Pang Juan felt that time was pressing, and decided not to wait for Wei Ang's actions at this time, but to fight with all his might.
Hearing Pang Juan's voice, Zhang Meng hurriedly walked over and saluted respectfully: "The last will be."
"Ben will give you another 50,000 foot soldiers, plus the 50,000 soldiers of the headquarters, can you take Zhao Wuming's troops overnight." Pang Juan looked at Zhang Meng and asked him for a while.
Zhang Meng saluted for the second time, and his tone was full of confidence: "There are already 50,000 soldiers and horses on our side in the battle ahead, and at this time, with 50,000 foot soldiers and 50,000 soldiers, it is enough to break Zhao Wuming's department."
"Strike now, be quick." Thinking of King Zhao, who was about to arrive, Pang Juan admonished Zhang Meng for a while.
Seeing Pang Juan's expression, Zhang Meng felt that there might be a change in this, and his expression was shocked: "Obey orders."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang turned around violently, and in a short time, a huge force of 100,000 people rushed towards the place of battle with earth-shattering footsteps.
The already precarious defense line of the Zhao army showed a slight crack, and it was about to be defeated. Xue Qian rushed out of the battlefield and ran to the rear.
Seeing Zhao Wuming riding on a war horse, Xue Qian couldn't help but wipe the blood on his face: "Gongzi quickly send troops to support, otherwise the defeat of our army is just around the corner."
"There are already 60,000 of our troops in the front, and at this time, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses here, and you see that there are at least 100,000 troops on the opposite side. How do you let me, dare to send troops to support". Zhao Wuming's eyes stared at Pang Juan on the opposite side, and he was annoyed in his heart. There are no soldiers in their hands, so they can't do anything about it. One day of the great war is already the limit, is tonight the day of the defeat of the army?
Xue Qian looked at the battle in front of him, Zhang Meng led his soldiers to chase and kill the exhausted Zhao army soldiers everywhere, and he was anxious: "If Gongzi doesn't send troops to support, our army will be defeated immediately." If Gongzi sends troops, he can delay at least a moment at this time."
"For a moment? What about a moment later? “。 Zhao Wuming asked rhetorically, I don't know why Pang Juan suddenly attacked. Is it really the same as what he Pang Juan said, if we don't break our army's oath, we won't give up.
Xue Qian was speechless, and at this time, Zhao Yu also galloped from the battlefield: "Fourth brother, quickly send troops to support."
"The two of you will send 30,000 troops to support." Zhao Wuming saw that Zhao Yu also came to ask for help, and ordered the two generals beside him.
"No". The two generals received the order, and in a short time the phalanx of 30,000 men rushed to the place of battle in front.
Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the 30,000 soldiers leaving, and turned his gaze to Zhao Wuming: "Pang Juan is determined to destroy our army."
"When the national disaster is at hand, how can Qian spare his life. If they want, they will take it." Xue Qian suddenly gave birth to a trace of heroism, and then slapped the horse's back, and was about to pounce on the place of battle.
A cavalryman galloped quickly, and when he saw Zhao Wuming, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, holding a roll of bamboo slips: "Xindu is urgent."
"Sindu?". Zhao Wuming hurriedly took it and opened it to watch. Xue Qian also hurriedly grabbed the war horse and listened with his ears pricked up.
After Zhao Wuming finished reading it, he handed the bamboo slip to Xue Qian and asked him and Zhao Yu to watch it.
After a long time, Zhao Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "No wonder Pang Juan will suddenly attack, it turns out that my father has already led 300,000 reinforcements and is galloping here."
"I've been waiting here for so long, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country should have already been assembled in Xindu. Now that I have seen this bamboo slip, I have a glimmer of hope." Xue Qian's heart suddenly rose, a feeling of escaping death.
Zhao Yu nodded, thinking of the time mentioned in the bamboo slip, his brows furrowed again: "Father has a word, I can only arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest." Looking at the current posture, I'm afraid it will be difficult to drag it out until that time."
"Four Sons". Xue Qian subconsciously wanted to ask something, but he didn't hear Zhao Wuming's response. Hurriedly looked at Zhao Wuming, and saw that he was pondering and thought that he was thinking about a strategy to delay, and then he stopped talking.
Zhao Yu didn't bother when he saw this, but just looked at Zhao Wuming, full of anticipation. I don't know when it started, Zhao Yu was completely obedient to the strategy in his fourth brother's chest.
Zhao Wuming pondered, saw that there was no sound in his ears, and subconsciously surprised: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"The fourth prince is thinking about how to delay Pang Juan's department and wait for the king's reinforcements to arrive." Xue Qian hurriedly asked, the look of expectation in his eyes was self-evident.
Zhao Wuming was dumbfounded, and his heart was mixed when he learned that King Zhao was coming tomorrow morning, and he didn't know what would greet him. With the merits and prestige of this period of time, it should be enough to protect oneself at this extraordinary moment: "The two sides have already fought to this point, and there is no other way but to fight hard."
As soon as the words fell, a loud bang suddenly came out of the place of battle. Another Wei army phalanx entered the battlefield. The soldiers of Zhao were outnumbered and gradually retreated.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Wuming didn't dare to make reservations, and rushed to the battlefield with the only remaining 20,000 people. Xue Qian and Zhao Yu followed closely behind, slapping their war horses and running forward together.
The soldiers of the Zhao State, who were gradually routing, suddenly heard a dense sound of footsteps from the rear. Immediately after that, a main general flag appeared in front of him, and the morale that had been low instantly skyrocketed. Muster up all the strength of your body and kill it again.
The sound of swords and soldiers was loud again, and the soldiers of Zhao gradually stabilized the defense line under the banner of the main general. Pang Juan stood behind and watched, his brows gradually furrowed, and then he looked at a general beside him, and the general quickly ran towards the rear army.
A 20,000-strong Wei army formation walked out and pounced directly. The two sides fought, time passed unconsciously, and seeing that the dawn was about to break in the east, Pang Juan looked at the place of battle in front of him, and a trace of anxiety rose in his heart: "Pass the order, and all the rear troops will be dispatched."
"Command". Several generals bowed down to receive the order, turned around and walked to the rear.
A huge phalanx of 50,000 people once again pounced on the battlefield. In the battlefield, Zhao Wuming had no troops to send for a long time, so he could only support this wave after wave of the huge Wei army that had been recuperating for a long time. After a day and a night of fighting, the soldiers of Zhao State had already reached their limit, if they hadn't played some prestige some time ago, they could barely maintain it, but they were afraid that they would have been defeated before midnight.
At this time, he heard the sound of huge footsteps in front of him, like the last straw that crushed the camel, and the defense line of the Zhao army quickly collapsed. Seeing that it was about to be defeated again, there was a sound of earth-shattering footsteps from the rear, and arrows rained into the Wei army's position.
Sun Buer arrived with thousands of soldiers, and although the number was small, it also brought a wave of confidence to the soldiers of Zhao who were about to collapse.
