Although Zhao Guotie retreated, the Qin army did not dare to relax in the slightest. All the Qin people knew very well that if the Zhao army sneaked into the Qin camp at night, the Qin army would face a massacre.

Hu Yang was already numb to the casualty figures, and it was only a little more than an hour before the Zhao and Han armies inflicted such heavy casualties on their own side. What if it was a whole day? Hu Yang didn't know how many Qin troops would survive. The armament of the Han army is too powerful, coupled with the powerful Zhao State Iron Cavalry, such a combination is incomprehensible for the current Qin army!

Of course, the battle just now was not without gains. The boulder launched by the Korean army's catapult can be regarded as the solution to the urgent need of the Qin army. It was excellent both for fortifying the camp and for the five or six catapults left in the army.

It's just that unpleasant things happened during the process of carrying the boulders. Countless Qin soldiers died tragically under the catapults of the Korean army, and this situation deeply stimulated the living, and the camp was filled with a tragic atmosphere.

No one spoke loudly, and a kind of affection gathered and brewed in the Qin army. Everyone knows about tonight's breakout, and they also know their division of labor. Maybe at the moment of the breakthrough, this kind of love will erupt! Whether it is life or death, thinking about the Qin army will make the Zhao army pay the price of blood.

The seriously wounded Qin army knew that it was impossible for them to break through with the army, in other words, they were actually abandoned. There's no way around it. Fortunately, Hu Yang was merciful enough, and he allowed the wounded of the Qin army to surrender to the Zhao army at the right time, and even went to the wounded camp himself.

A Qin soldier who survived in the end described it this way.

"I was in despair, for all the seriously wounded soldiers like me knew that the army was going to break through in the night, and that we would not be able to keep up with it. Many people can't walk, and they can't even withstand a little bump. We feel like we have been abandoned, and all of us have a will to die. ”

"While we were waiting for the verdict of fate, the General came to visit us. He looked so tired, his eyes bloodshot. We tried to get up and salute, but he stopped us. Then he said that he had failed King Qin and everyone. Because of his incompetence, everyone lost a lot of robes and was seriously injured. Now the entire army is surrounded by the Zhao army, and the main forces of Han and Wei are rushing here non-stop. He had no choice but to break through. ”

"The breakthrough did not make him feel ashamed, what made him ashamed was that he had to give up the more than 3,000 robes in front of him. He came to apologize to everyone and comfort them, saying that we have done the best that a soldier can do, and that we are the best soldiers he has ever led. Let us let go of our mental baggage and choose to surrender at the right time. ”

"When we heard this, we were furious, and we felt that the general was insulting us. The Qin army has strict military discipline, and once captured, the future of the army will be completely ruined, and maybe it will even cause trouble to the family. We all clamored to die with the Zhao and Han armies, but in fact, I knew that everyone wanted to live like me, but God wouldn't give us a chance. ”

He smiled and waved his hand to stop us. We say that we only have one life, that we have repaid our country, and that it is time to choose our own destiny. He bears all the responsibility for the defeat alone, and now that the battlefield is chaotic, I don't know how many people can survive, even if everyone surrenders to the country, there is no way to verify, so let's not be afraid that surrender will bear the responsibility. ”

"I've never seen a general who nagged like him, and he talked like this for a long time, and at the end everyone fell silent. I know, in fact, everyone is a little excited. Who wouldn't want to live! As long as we live with dignity, we don't mind surrendering. Finally, before leaving, he smiled and told us that there is hope in life. If he can survive and return to the battlefield, I hope to be our general again. We didn't pay attention to it at first, until we knew that he died in the battle of the wild king that night, and before he died, he was screaming to kill the enemy! It's a pity that at that time, it was too late. ---- "Diary of a Little Soldier"

On the third watch, the Qin army began to slowly assemble. The qiē was carried out in an orderly manner, without noise, without crying and sobbing, and it was usually like an acting.

Hu Yang took out one of the few jars of fine wine in the army. Originally, alcohol was taboo in the army, but no matter which country's army went to war, the chief general had the privilege, and it was okay to have a few drinks.

Now Hu Yang mixed it with water and wine, and distributed it to the whole army, which should be used as a strong wine before the expedition. 30,000 people is too many, and everyone only gets a few sips of the "fine wine" that has no taste of alcohol, but no one complains. There are still 2,000 people guarding the camp at the moment, and they can't drink! They are already satisfied.

"Let's go!" Under Hu Yang's order, the entire army assembled and broke through in the established direction.

In the big tent of Zhao Jun's army, Lian Po was talking with the prince. The two made a small bet, betting on whether the Qin army would break through at night tonight. The bet is not big, it is not small, if the prince wins, he can borrow 10,000 iron cavalry from Lian Po for three days, of course, the commander is still the general of Zhao State; If the crown prince loses, he will provide Lian Po with the secrets of the construction of siege crossbows and catapults, for which Zhao Guo has been longing for a long time.

"The prince is so sure that the Qin army will definitely break through tonight?" Lian Po spoke, although he didn't know if the Qin army would break through, but Lian Po, who had been in a hundred battles, was still very thoughtful and deliberately strengthened the garrison tonight.

"General Lian is a world-renowned general, but he doesn't dare to make an axe in front of the general." The prince took a sip of wine and replied with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Tonight is just a deduction, but the prince said it was okay. ”

"That's just a joke here, and I hope the general won't laugh at it." Prince Ran said under Lian Po's encouraging eyes, "The Qin army has been defeated repeatedly, and its morale has declined. Now that the general has 100,000 troops surrounding the Qin army, the Qin army has become a lone army, and the Qin army has lost no less than 5,000 in the first battle, which is bound to be even more terrifying. Our Han and Wei armies must have learned the news at this moment, reinforcements are already on the way, and the Qin army will be even more disadvantageous at that time, so breaking through is the only choice for the Qin army. ”

"Then the prince knows that the cavalry of the Qin army is all lost, and the rest of the Qin army are all chariots and foot soldiers, even if they break through, it will be difficult to stop the cover and kill of my Great Zhao Iron Cavalry? In Lian's view, breaking through is the way of thinking, and there is still a glimmer of life in the camp. ”

After a pause, Lian Po continued: "I'm afraid the prince has forgotten that Wusui is only one hundred and eighty miles away from the wild king, and Yique is only one hundred and thirty miles away from the wild king. Wusui and Yique are both garrisoned by Qin troops, if Hu Yang decides to defend and wait for reinforcements, wouldn't the odds be greater! I have received military information, and the 100,000-strong army has been on the march for many days. ”

Hearing that Bai Qi's army was about to arrive, Prince Ran's face changed, but he quickly covered it up. said with a smile, "What the general said is very true, but a hundred miles away is only a day's journey for the Qin army chariots who have abandoned their baggage. If the Qin army breaks through on all sides at night, it will be difficult for your army to ensure that the Qin army that has slipped through the net will break through. One night's kung fu was enough for the Qin army to run far, and with the response of the defenders of the two places, the success of the breakthrough was more than half! ”

"General, don't forget, it will take at least six or seven days for Bai Qi to reach the Wild King City, and this is far away from the water to save the near fire. Wusui and Yique both had 5,000 Qin troops, and they were deterred by the general's iron cavalry, so they must not dare to come to the rescue from afar. The most important point is that the Qin army has no water source, which is a dead hole. ”

Lian Po's face changed, and he secretly said that he had ignored this. I value the combat power of the Qin army too much, and forget that if there is no water source, how long can the Qin army last!

This afternoon's assault on the Korean army has exhausted all the boulders and crossbow arrows, and tomorrow's attack of this intensity can no longer be maintained, and at that time, the Qin army will have a chance to breathe.

Wait, I know this, but Qin Jun doesn't know! If the Qin army thought that it would be hit by such a stormy blow tomorrow, wouldn't that force the Qin army to break through?

Thinking of this, Lian Po looked up and saw Prince Ran with a smile on his face. As if he had a heart, the prince nodded and signaled that what Lian Po thought was exactly what he wanted to say.

At this moment, the two heard a commotion outside the camp and walked out of the camp tent, and the sprints and shouts of the Qin army rushed to their faces. Qin Jun has really begun to break through!
