Chapter 30: The Great Defeat of the Qin Army

The rolling Zhao Jun was like a torrent that was unstoppable. The first to suffer was the more than 10,000 Qin troops at the north gate of Yewang.

Captain Xin Yuan has been in the army for fifteen years, and he has experienced dozens of battles from a small soldier at the beginning to a captain in charge of 10,000 people. He was wounded, bleeding, and in some of the toughest battles he thought he would die in battle, but luckily he survived and got to where he is now.

For more than ten years, he has followed the Qin army to be invincible. Fallen under his sword were the Wei army, the Chu army; There are Zhao Guojing's horsemen who come and go like the wind, and there are also ferocious Yiqu barbarians. But no matter how powerful or cunning the other party was, it was always the Qin army that won the victory in the end. The heads of the enemy have made their own great achievements.

Although the battle of the wild kings has been carried out until now, it is the Qin army that has suffered heavy losses. But Xin Yuan still believes that it will still be himself who will have the last laugh. Just because Great Qin is invincible and invincible.

But when he was directing the Qin army to launch the final round of charge, preparing to take down the wild king in one go, there was a rumbling sound of iron horses behind him.

There was no need to turn around, he knew that the Qin army was in trouble. The Qin army only had 20,000 cavalry left, and it was impossible for it to have such a huge momentum. The enemy army coming from the north of Yewang is the Korean army of the Korean Shangdang?

When he turned around and saw the 100,000 iron horsemen rushing inexorably, there was only despair left in his heart.

"The whole army is attacking the city!" He desperately gave the final order.

Capture the wild king still have a chance to live, stay in place and form a formation to resist the 100,000 Zhao State iron cavalry? That's just a dead end!

Under Xin Yuan's orders, countless Qin troops desperately climbed the ladder, trying to quickly occupy Yewang in order to resist the city.

But no matter how fast the Qin army climbed, it was not as fast as the crossbow arrows of the Zhao army. Under the attack of the Han army and the Zhao army, all 12,000 Qin troops were soon killed.

The torrent of the Zhao army continued to advance to the west of Yewang, and along the way, it was like a bamboo, and there were constantly small groups of Qin troops that were instantly swallowed by the torrent.

In the military tent of the Qin army, Hu Yang listened to the scout's report in horror.

The rumbling hooves outside have long been heard. At first, he thought it was Bai Qi's reinforcements, after all, when the King of Qin heard that Zhao had raised an army of 100,000 to support the Yewang, he ordered Bai Qi to reinforce himself quickly, and on the other hand, he ordered himself to be careful against the Zhao army.

But didn't Zhao Jun just come out of Handan? The reason why he dared to break through the cauldron and storm the wild king was because the army of Zhao had not yet arrived. After all, if you stick to waiting for help, and wait for the white, you will not only be useless but guilty. The loss of 40,000 troops was a rare defeat for the Qin State, and his best result was only to be deprived of his title and military position, and demoted to a concubine.

But now that 100,000 Zhao troops are coming suddenly, the Qin army north of Yewang must be more than lucky. There was no time to think about how Zhao Jun came over, Hu Yang desperately thought of a way to deal with it.

Unfortunately, there is no solution to this problem. If Zhao Jun had arrived a little earlier or a little late, he would never have fallen into such a dangerous situation. Hu Yang's heart is down, and now he can only abandon the car to protect the handsome.

"Order the hussar battalion, the Guorui battalion to attack, be sure to block the Zhao army. Buy time for the build-up of our troops! ”

"Whoa!" The deputy general Wang Yi sighed secretly and took the order.

Now is not the time to be soft-hearted, the Zhao army is menacing, and they can only sacrifice the only 20,000 cavalry to buy time. Even if it can only block for half an hour, it is enough for the remaining 40,000 Qin troops to assemble.

Mingjin's horn resounded in the sky above the wild king. The Qin army, which was about to attack the south gate and east gate of Yewang, did not care about the reason, and hurriedly returned to the camp at the west gate. This is the most urgent collection number, even if there is a big thing to put down, gather, gather, and those who miss the deadline will be decided!

The good military discipline of the Qin army once again played a huge role. The desperate resistance of the elite of the 20,000 Qin army bought Hu Yang enough time. After the Zhao army completely annihilated the hussars and Guorui battalions, Hu Yang almost completed the assembly of the army. The only regret is that the Qin army at the east gate of Yewang is too far away, and although the rear team tried their best, they were intercepted and annihilated by the annoyed and angry Zhao army!

After knowing that he had missed such a great opportunity, Lian Po also sighed secretly. If he had known that the Qin army was so bold and attacked the city from all sides, he would have divided his troops into two routes in the north of Yewang City.

But the current situation is not bad, 100,000 Zhao Guotie cavalry VS 40,000 Qin military vehicles and foot soldiers. Lian Po believes that he must be the one who has the last laugh.

The wild king boiled. The crown prince watched the 100,000 Zhao State iron cavalry annihilate the Qin army in the north of the city, and also saw the 20,000 Qin army collapse after resisting the Zhao army for half an hour. After Hu Yang's Chinese army was surrounded, he knew that the wild king was finally safe.

Regardless of the fatigue of the battle, he immediately sent people to Wendi and Chenggao to report the news. As soon as the Zhao army, the backbone of the coalition army, came, the Han army and the Wei army in the two places could finally reinforce Yewang with confidence.

Feng Shui took turns, and he was beaten by the Qin army a few days ago, but now he can finally raise his eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief, and beat him according to the Qin army. The next thing should be the time for the Three Kingdoms Hunt.

Just when Lian Po's troops surrounded Huyang, but there was nothing they could do with the Qin army that formed a turtle formation, the Han army took the initiative to stand up. The arrival of a bulky catapult, a powerful siege crossbow and other sharp weapons made Lian Po smile.

"Prince, you are too polite."

Lian Po maintained enough respect for the crown prince, after all, the other party was the crown prince of Korea, and Korea was now a loyal ally of Zhao. What's more important is that Lian Po felt guilty about Prince Ran, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to defeat the Qin army faster, he would have been able to reinforce the wild king quickly.

Although there is no real affection between countries, Lian Po is a man of temperament, but he is obsessed with it. If it weren't for this, he would not have been disliked by King Zhao in the future and depressed.

"Why did the general say this! The general traveled thousands of miles to rescue the people of my wild king, which is really a great favor to my Korea. The prince replied with a smile.

Looking at the prince Ran, who was dressed in blood-stained armor and had a gray face but was full of energy, Lian Po replied solemnly: "Zhao and Han are allies, and the allies are in trouble, so does Zhao Guoyan have a gift of not saving?" Dare to ask the prince, where are the remaining Qin troops? ”

Now that the Zhao army has killed only 60,000 Qin troops all the way, where are the remaining 40,000 Qin troops? Lian Po had a rough guess in his heart, but he still needed to be confirmed by Prince Ran himself.

"About 35,000 people were killed by our army, and the remaining 5,000 people should be injured in the Qin army."

"What?" Lian Po was taken aback when he heard this.

Could it be that the Han army dealt such a big blow to the Qin army in just three days? Did the Han army suddenly become stronger or did the Qin army become weaker? This shouldn't be!

"I wonder what your casualties were? There are also some military physicians in our army, and the prince can give orders if he needs them. ”

The prince smiled, and said in his heart If you want to know the damage of our army, you don't have to be so subtle, and you have to add a sentence to cover it up. didn't shirk it at the moment: "Then thank you for the general's kindness." Although our army caused a lot of damage to the Qin army, our army also suffered a lot of losses. Twenty-five thousand one hundred and twenty-two men were killed and six thousand three hundred and eight wounded. ”

This is strange, Lian Po secretly underestimated it in his heart. Normally, 1 to 3, 1 to 5 or even 1 to 10 is possible, but the ratio of casualties on both sides of Han and Qin is 1:1.3, which shouldn't be!

As if knowing the doubts in Lian Po's heart, Prince Ran explained, "The Qin army drove our innocent people in Korea to attack the city, and in order to rescue the trapped people, our army lost more than 6,000 people. The Qin army raided the reinforcements from our Chenggao, and caused our army to lose more than 8,000 soldiers. That's why there are so many casualties. ”

Lian Po nodded, and said in his heart, subtracting these additional casualties, the casualty ratio of the Han army to the Qin army of 1 to 2.5 is over. After all, the Qin army was brave and the wild king had been stable for a long time, and it was inevitable that there would be more damage when they encountered the battle formation for the first time.

While the two were talking, the trebuchet and siege crossbow had been debugged, and the attack on the Qin army's camp would begin as soon as an order was given.
