The stars are sparse on a moonlit night, and the water is surging eastward.

On the Great Wall of Zhao, soldiers patrol with torches. In the enemy tower, a group of conscripts who had run back from the front line were sleeping. Zhao's soldiers quickly walked by, continuing their patrol towards the next area.

In the darkness, a pair of snowy eyes opened, the young man's face was covered with dust, his clothes were stained with mud and water, it was late at night, but he still did not fall asleep. Through the gap in the windowsill, a spy-winged bird leaped into the enemy building, above the young man's fingertips.

Zhao Shuang looked at the bird beating between his fingers and smiled slightly. Surrounded by sleeping faces, after a long time on the run, experiencing fear and life and death, at this time very tired, into a deep sleep.

It's just that tonight is destined to be an unquiet night.

The continuous sound of the horn and the heavy sound woke up the sleeping servants. Zhao Shuang raised his hand slightly, and the spy winged bird flew out of the enemy building along the trajectory when it came. He stood up and walked out with all the conscripts.

Just outside the Great Wall, a large number of troops came from the direction of Handan, and the bonfires in their hands were shining, and the momentum was huge.

Then there was a cheer from the walls.

The army has arrived!

The 100,000 troops around Handan had been assembled and marched towards the Great Wall, ready to defend against the Qin army, which had already crossed the Huanshui.

Different from the happy faces around him, Zhao Shuang looked at Zhao Jun who was slowly driving in front of him, his face was full of seriousness.

The Qin army captured Anyang and broke into Huanshui, but there was still a great wall in front of them. The military defense of the Zhao army in the south of Handan was a regional defense. Among them, Anyang is an important point, and if you seize it, you will have a foothold.

It's just that the Qin army went deep alone, and there was not enough time to sweep the surrounding military fortresses, sweep away the enemy army, establish a defensive line, and wait for follow-up reinforcements. Therefore, the Zhao army will definitely encircle Anyang with superior forces. Before the reinforcements of the Qin army arrived, solve the lone army that broke through into the defense line of the Zhao army.

A group of Zhao soldiers came over and urged.

"The army has arrived, so follow me and others to carry supplies."

By dawn, the soldiers of the former army had already entered the defense line of the Great Wall, which was filled with various enemy buildings and forts, making the defense facilities of the Great Wall by the Zhangshui River come alive.

Carrying a bundle of arrows from the car, Zhao Shuang wiped his sweat under the high sun.

It's just that Zhao Shuang just stopped for a while, and the sound of Zhao Jun's soldiers came from his ears.

"Hurry up, don't be lazy!"

The somewhat ostentatious voice quickly went out. The soldiers of the Zhao Army, who were guarding the material storage point, seemed to have received orders and quickly lined up, waiting for what?

In the distance, a burly man walked over, beside him and behind him were the captains of the Zhao army.

"How's it going?"

The situation was urgent, and when he heard that the Qin army had broken Anyang, Guo Kai was both angry and afraid. The angry thing is that the net did not reveal the news at all beforehand; What I am afraid of is that the matter on Anyang's side has spread to Handan. Therefore, Guo Kai immediately asked Hu Yu to come with a large army, wanting to make up for it. As long as the Qin army can be flawed, then it is enough to make up for the merits.

"The Qin army has broken Anyang."

"I know, what about the rest?"

"It's... It has not yet been proven. ”

Hu Xuan stopped all of a sudden, and stopped not far from Zhao Shuang, and the voice could easily reach him.

"The Qin army has penetrated deep into my Zhao realm, and until now, you can't even figure out how many people there are on the other side?"

The lieutenants lowered their heads, but saw a pair of tiger eyes patrolling among the crowd. The lieutenants around him mostly relied on Guo Kai to get to the top. However, there is also a problem with this, their talents are not enough to defend against the enemy, especially in the current situation.

"We only know that it is Yang Duanhe's department, the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army, which should only have a scale of 30,000 people."

"That was intelligence from a few years ago. Send scouts to investigate! ”

The Pingyang Heavy Armor Army was the most elite field army of the Qin Army. The reason why this attack caused chaos in the Zhao State was because in Handan, neither the ministers of the imperial court nor the generals in the army expected that Yang Duanhe would break into the Zhao realm with only 30,000 troops.

Although with the start of the war between Yan and Zhao, the generals of the Zhao army had already expected in their hearts that the Qin army might take advantage of the fire to rob. However, they unanimously speculated that at least the army of Wang Jian and Fan Yuzhi in the rear would arrive in Hanoi before the Qin army would attack.

However, in fact, the Qin army attacked earlier than the Zhao army had estimated. I thought that the Qin army would at least wait until after the autumn harvest, but before Wang Qian's army in the rear moved, Yang Duanhe and his troops stationed in Hanoi had already left. The Qin army's attack was at least two to three months ahead of schedule, but the Zhao side was not yet prepared.

"No!"

"The military situation was urgent, and General Wang He was immediately ordered to take 10,000 men to Anyang West, and General Zhou Zhao to Anyang East with 10,000 men. I personally led the main force to suppress it. This time, we must let the name of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army disappear from the land of Zhao and extinguish the prestige of the Qin army. ”

....................

"Withdrawal?"

Yang Duanhe looked at the ink crow in front of him, with a bit of speculation in his voice.

"What does Hanyang-kun mean to give up Anyang?"

The capture of Anyang was a big victory. It's just that for Qin Jun, the road ahead is full of dangers. Surrounded by the Zhao army's camps and ramparts, the Qin army did not have enough time to obtain these fulcrums and establish defenses.

Intelligence showed that Zhao's army had been assembled from all over Handan and headed south. By this time, I am afraid that I have already passed the Great Wall.

In front of the Qin army, there was only hard resistance or withdrawal.

It's just that if you resist hard, the Qin army is afraid that it will not be able to withstand the hard attack of the Zhao army, after all, there is a lack of tools to defend the city in Anyang City, and in a short time, the Qin army will not be able to gather.

But if you retreat like this, it will be useless, and it will be a bit embarrassing.

"What Hanyangjun means is that there is no danger to defend the north side of Huanshui. The Zhao army took advantage of the situation, and its vigor was not exhausted, so it first withdrew to the south bank of Huanshui to avoid the edge of the Zhao army. ”

"What does Hanyang-kun mean to stick to Anyang?"

At this time, Li Xin asked. After all, these are one of the few more reliable options. Although, this plan is afraid that the sacrifice is greater.

"There is about a day to go, and Zhao Jun will arrive. What Hanyang-kun meant was that Zhao Jun would definitely think that we would stick to Anyang. Our army abandoned Anyang, and everyone crossed the river from the upper reaches and flanked the Zhao army. ”

"But in such a short time, we have neither time nor enough ships to build bridges. How to cross the river? ”

Li Xin asked.

"When Hanyang-kun asked me to come, I had already personally investigated, and there was a shallow bay in the upper reaches of the Huanshui River, and the water was relatively gentle. The chariots and materials of the army can be connected by ropes, and all of them can be thrown into the water to slow down the water, and the foot horses should be able to cross quickly. ”

Mo Crow said a word and looked at the two people in front of him.

"The rest depends on whether the two of you have the intention of fighting and the heart to win?"
