The military tent in the Qin army. After counting the troops at hand, Hu Yang fell silent all of a sudden, and the entire big tent was silent.

There is no worse form, the original army of 100,000 is now only 40,000 heads, including more than 3,000 seriously wounded, and in fact there are only 37,000 soldiers who can fight. The most critical thing is that now the entire army is surrounded by 100,000 Zhao Guo Iron Cavalry, and there is basically no hope of breaking through.

However, there is no hope if they do not break through, because the Han army of Chenggao and the Wei army of Wendi will definitely come to support the Zhao army after learning the news that they are besieged by the Zhao army, and their situation will be even more dangerous at that time.

No one wants to speak first, because no one has a better way. Now there are only two paths, either hold on and wait for reinforcements, or break through. But these two look like a dead end no matter how you look at them. As for surrender? That was not in the consideration of the old Qin people at all.

Hu Yang didn't say anything, but he knew he was finished. Regardless of how the war develops, he himself will bear all the blame for the defeat. Great Qin does not allow failure, and naturally does not admit defeat. Even if it was a big defeat like himself, it was only caused by the incompetence of the generals, not the reason of Great Qin itself.

Now, King Qin needs someone to bear the consequences, and Daqin needs someone to explain that Daqin is still invincible, as long as the general is not mediocre, and that person can only be himself.

Hu Yang regretted it very much, if it wasn't for his light enemy's rash advance, if he couldn't wait to make a great battle and become famous all over the world, he could still be redeemed. Even if he was facing a flank attack of 100,000 Zhao Guo's iron cavalry plus 100,000 Han troops or 100,000 Wei troops, he was confident that he could defend Wu Anjun's reinforcements. But now, it's too late

Looking at the silent generals, Hu Yang put away the remorse in his heart and broke the silence of the big tent with a loud voice.

"Gentlemen, now the army of Zhao is surrounding our army. Within two days, more than 100,000 troops from Wei and Korea will also arrive on the battlefield. The form is so severe, and if we are not careful, our army is in danger of being completely annihilated. ”

"A few days ago, Ben General received an order from the King of Qin: Wu Anjun's reinforcements will arrive soon. According to the itinerary of the army, in five or six days, the army should also arrive at the wild king. ”

"Great, when Wu Anjun comes, we will be saved." Someone said happily.

"What? It will take five or six days to arrive? When the time comes, we will not have to be attacked by the enemy, and we will die of thirst. Attentive people heard Hu Yang's last sentence clearly.

"That's better than rushing out and dying." Immediately, someone refuted the construction of the building that wanted to break through.

Listening to the discussion of everyone below, a wry smile appeared on Hu Yang's face.

In the eyes of the old Qin people, Wu Anjun is the spokesperson of invincibility. After all, I can't match it. I knew that I regretted it today!

In fact, he only received the holy decree of the king of Qin five days ago, and even if the army set off with the king's envoy, he had only walked half the distance at most.

It will be five days before the army arrives at the Wild King, which is already the most optimistic estimate. Is it just that there are still five days left for this lone army? Hu Yang himself didn't know.

"Alright." Hu Yang's words stopped the whispering of the big tent.

"Standing still is a solution, but there is no water source, can we hold on until Wu Anjun comes to help, do you think the armament of the Han army will allow us to survive these five days?"

Oh, yes! The advantages of the Korean army's ordnance are famous all over the world, otherwise there would be no title of Jin Han. If the Yewang defenders handed over a dry of ordnance such as catapults and siege crossbows to the Zhao army, how many rounds could their side last? All the generals silently pondered this question and came to the conclusion that it could not be held.

"So, I decided to break through. The sooner we break through, the more likely we are to survive. After another hour, it will be dark, and after dark, the offensive of the Zhao army will inevitably weaken. In the middle of the night, our troops divided into two routes, all the way straight to the wild king, creating the illusion that our army was going to attack the city of the wild king; Break through all the way to the west and withdraw to Yique, where there are 5,000 soldiers and horses of our Qin State, and we can reorganize our troops and horses in Yique to wait for reinforcements. ”

Hu Yang said this, and the big tent was silent again.

At the moment, a breakout is the only option. But everyone knows that the army that feints to attack the wild king must be a dead end. The Zhao army must focus on defending the direction of Yewang to prevent the Qin army from sneaking up on Yewang and defending the city. Only the army that broke through had a chance to survive, although it was nine deaths.

No one wants to die in vain, and even if they do, the soldiers under them don't. As soldiers, they will obey orders to die, but this does not mean that they will selflessly give up the chance to live to others.

"The fault of this defeat is not in everyone, but in me, Hu Yang. Therefore, I decided that I would lead 10,000 Chinese troops to feint against the wild king, and the princes would lead the rest of the men and horses to break through! ”

Hu Yang's faint words broke the dull tent.

"General!" The generals shouted in unison.

"My mind has been decided, and you don't need to say more. With such heavy casualties in this battle, the blame lies with me alone. I have written a bamboo slip detailing the course of the battle. If you can get away with the trouble and face the king for me, I will be grateful. ”

"General!" The generals burst into tears.

"That's it! So it was decided. Could it be that you want to disobey the order? Do you think my sword is not good for shouting? ”

Deputy General Wang Yi sighed secretly and took the lead out of the big tent.

Hu Yang's decision was within his expectations, and for him now, dying on the battlefield can save some reputation. Otherwise, even if you break out, you will be tied to the court and punished with a knife and axe.

It's just that if you break through, how much hope can you have? Wang Yi shook his head.

Forget it, let's hold on until dark. If you really die on the battlefield, you will not live up to your expectations. Wang Ji put aside distractions and commanded his army to defend against the Zhao army's attack.

With catapults and siege crossbows ready, the Zhao and Han armies finally launched a final attack on the Qin army. In an instant, countless boulders and crossbow arrows flew towards the Qin camp, and the sky was dark, and the Qin army continued to fall under the boulders and crossbow arrows of the Han army.

The Qin army also organized archers to fight back, but the Zhao army was hidden out of the range of the Qin army's archers, and the Qin army had nothing to do about it. But once a Qin army death squad or archers came out of the camp to attack their catapults, they were often wiped out by the Zhao army, which was in full array. Several times, Qin Jun had no choice but to hide behind the chariot.

Such an attack ravaged the Qin army for half an hour, and the attack was not terminated until the Korean army's catapult boulders were exhausted. But the Han army stopped, and the Zhao army started again.

The rumbling Zhao Guotie rode towards the chaotic Qin camp destroyed by catapults, and the Qin army, which regarded death as home, blocked the advance of the Zhao army with spears and horses. One wants to make immortal feats, and the other wants to survive, the battle between the two sides of water and fire is tragic and abnormal, and the battle has just entered a white heat. The crazy Qin army piled up a great wall with flesh and blood, and the iron cavalry of Zhao State, which had lost its speed, could only condescendingly slash and kill the Qin army.

From the setting sun to the complete darkness of the sky, every step of the Zhao army's advance became difficult, and although it only advanced a hundred steps, it caused more than 5,000 damage to the Qin army.

Finally, the dark night that Qin Jun was looking forward to came. In order to be unnecessarily, Lian Po decisively ordered the army to retreat and attack the Qin army camp tomorrow.
