Chapter 648: Tian Dan Breaks the Tiger Prison

"You get up first, it's not a shame to lose to Le Yi, even I'm not sure I can win against Le Yi." Bai Qi's heart twitched a little, this is an army of 70,000, it is gone, but he can only comfort Wang Yi with words.

Wang Yi got up, stood next to Bai Qi, staring angrily in the direction of Xingyang, behind him four thousand Qin troops were digging the Xingze embankment, as long as the Zhao army appeared, they would be greeted by thousands of waves. Look at the book

"Haven't you seen the reinforcements led by Zhang Tang these days?" Bai Qi asked in a deep voice.

"Nope." Wang Yi shook his head.

Bai Qi's face sank instantly, and even the air around him became a lot colder.

According to the time of the march, the reinforcements should have arrived in Xingyang a long time ago, which is why he was not worried about the loss of Xingyang before.

The reinforcements led by Zhang Tang were 50,000, and the defense of Xingyang could be described as impregnable.

As a result, there has been no news so far.

"There won't be any accidents!" Huan Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart pounding.

Bai Qi didn't answer, the top priority now is not far away Zhao Jun, and paying attention to reinforcements will only disturb his thoughts.

As the minutes passed, Bai Qi's face became more and more solemn, and he turned his head to look at Wang Di, "Are you sure Zhao Jun is chasing after him?"

"Definitely chased over, the last will be chased all the way by the Zhao army, and there are less than four hundred left of the thousands of troops." Wang Di said.

"With the speed of Zhao Fei's ride, even if you climb it, you can climb it, there is definitely an accident, you can't wait any longer, and the embankment will break immediately." Bai Qi said in a deep voice.

When the four thousand Qin troops heard the order, they immediately accelerated their movements, and soon, the Xingze water began to rush down, and the water momentum became bigger and bigger.

Until the rushing waves were more than one person high, and the flood that broke the embankment could no longer be stopped, Bai Qi began to lead the Qin army to retreat westward.

"Aren't we going to take advantage of the situation to kill the Zhao army's camp?" Huan Qi asked.

"You lost too quickly, less than twenty ships were built, what are you going to do to fight Zhao Jun?" Bai Qi pointed to the canoe tied to the tree not far away and said, his face was as cold as he was.

He originally planned to rely on these canoes to defeat the Zhao army.

Zhao was in the north, and the vast majority of the soldiers were landlubbers, and they were mainly cavalry, and when they were washed by the water, they lost most of their combat effectiveness.

No matter how elite the Zhao army is, no matter how strong Le Yi's command and reaction ability is, and most of the troops are saved, the Zhao army's war horses and grain and grass will be lost.

Without war horses, grain and grass, the Zhao army had only one way to retreat.

As long as the Zhao army retreated, the Qin army could easily subdue the hopeless Wei state.

The reason why Wei has stood firm until now is just to put hope on Zhao Guo.

As long as Qin joins forces with other countries to attack Zhao, it will be able to defeat Zhao back to its original form just like weakening Qi and Chu, and it will be in a state of collapse.

But now it's too late to say anything, the Qin army hasn't even built a ship, Xingyang has been lost, and the strength is only 4,000, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Zhao army, and the breaking of the embankment and Xingze is only a temporary obstruction of the Zhao army's progress.

"The last general......" Wang Yi opened his mouth, speechless.

"Let's go to Tiger Prison." Bai Qi said coldly, he finally felt the threat brought by his pig teammates now.

Wang Yi and Zhang Ruo are also considered to be the number one famous generals in the Qin State, and they have made countless military achievements, but they were singled out by Le Yi and Tian without any power to fight back, and Zhang Ruo was even killed.

As a result, the Qin army, which was originally in the upper hand, fell into the disadvantage in an instant, and Bai Qi had to leave the army behind and come back to clean up the mess.

Le Yi stood at the head of the city, looking at the rushing waves, and a coolness rushed from his tail bone to the heavenly spirit cover. If it weren't for Jia Yan's timely reminder, Zhao Jun would probably have ...... by now

Even so, the Zhao army also had a large amount of grain and grass and some war horses that did not have time to be sent to Xingyang and disappeared in the flood.

"Bai Qi is too ruthless, it is the rainy season at this time, and Xingze is connected to Jishui, so at least hundreds of thousands of people are displaced and homeless." Gongsun Long muttered.

He heard that in the battle of Yanying, Bai Qi broke the embankment and destroyed the water

, flooded Yancheng, the people in the city flowed to the east of the city with the water, were drowned hundreds of thousands, the east of the city is stinky, since then this puddle is called the stinky pool by the locals.

Just when he heard it, he felt creepy, and when the flood fell down from the sky, Gongsun Long deeply felt the despair of the Chu people at that time.

"Immediately notify the King of Han and the King of Wei, and let them arrange for manpower to help the people. Then send a message to the king, and allocate grain and grass...... I'll write it myself, it's my fault that I didn't discover the conspiracy of the Qin army in time, which led to the destruction of grain and grass, and the whole army was trapped in Xingyang City. caused the people of the Central Plains to suffer." Le Yi sighed, turned around and walked towards the city.

This incident has dealt a heavy blow to Le Yi, all along, Le Yi has been very confident in his own strength, coupled with the logistical supply of Zhao State far beyond Qin State, even if Bai Qi is famous, Le Yi does not feel that he will be defeated.

But Bai Qi suddenly gave Le Yi a heavy blow, and it was not a vain to prove that he was invincible with his strength.

If it weren't for Jia Yan, the Zhao army would have been defeated in this battle!

And it was defeated with all the advantages achieved.

Even so, the Zhao army did not win and lost the opportunity to pursue the victory.

In Le Yi's heart, he had already lost to Bai Qi.

Le Yi can accept that he loses, but he can't accept that he loses with all the advantages.

"In fact, the general's ability is no worse than Bai Qi's, but if the two armies really fight, the strength of the two sides is not much different, and the general will not be able to defeat Bai Qi. Does the general know why?" Xunzi saw that Le Yi was in a bad mood, so he followed.

"Why?" Le Yi looked at Xunzi.

"Because of the bottom line. If the ability of two people is at the same level, then the person with a lower bottom line, or even the one without a bottom line, will show stronger strength. Bai Qi can break the embankment without scruples, burn down the tombs of the temples, kill the prisoners, and do whatever it takes to win. Can the general do it?" Xunzi asked.

Le Yi looked hesitant.

As a general, none of them are soft-hearted, Le Yi never feels that he is a good person, but it is still a little difficult for him to accept that he treats hundreds of thousands of people like ants and kills them at will.

He has always felt that war is not an end and that killing is not the only means.

Killing too much will not say that it will hurt the peace, at least it will increase the difficulty of occupying and subduing this place, when everyone in this place hates you and opposes this country, even if you fight it, it will not last long.

Unless you can kill them all.

"That's where you can't compare to Bai Qi." Xunzi saw the hesitation on Le Yi's face, and said with a smile, "But there's nothing wrong with this, people like Bai Qi are destined to die well."

"Xunzi thinks how Ben can defeat Bai Qi." Le Yi gritted his teeth and said.

"With greater power. Behind Bai is the Qin State, and behind the general is the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han."

Xunzi didn't feel that Bai Qi was invincible.

No matter how strong the Qin State is, its strength cannot be compared with the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han.

Moreover, Qin Wangji is already over the age of old, and he is considered to have a very long life among monarchs. Once Qin Wangji had a premonition that his limit was approaching, he would never leave the uncontrollable factor of Bai Qi to his son.

Before Qin Wangji's death, Bai Qi either died on the battlefield or died in the temple.

On the other hand, Zhao Kuo is only in his twenties, and there are still decades to go before the realm of 'old and confused', Le Yi's future is far longer than Bai Qi, even if he boils, he can boil Bai Qi to death.

"I see." Le Yi nodded solemnly.

Back in the study, Le Yi first wrote a letter to Zhao Kuo, stating what happened and his own negligence, and took the blame on himself.

Then, he wrote a letter to the king of Wei and the king of Han respectively, expressing his apologies and asking the two kings to order disaster relief.

In the end, Le Yi sent a letter to Wei Wuji, telling Wei Wuji about Bai Qi's appearance in Xingyang, and he believed that with Wei Wuji's ability, he would not let go of this opportunity and leave a deep impression on the Qin army outside Daliang City.

Time

Retreating to Tiandan, he led the Korean army from Huayang, and there were no accidents along the way, and the army soon came to the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Take the armor." Tian Dan glanced at the Tiger Prison Pass, turned back to Gongsun Yue and said.

"The general plans to disguise himself as the defeated army of the Qin army and deceive the Tiger Prison?" Han Fei said.

"Not bad. Tiger Prison Pass is the Xiongguan Pass in the world, and we don't know how many defenders the Qin army has arranged here. If it is attacked, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of casualties and delay time. At this time, time is of the essence, and we must take down the Tiger Prison before the reinforcements from the Qin State arrive." Tian Dan said.

"Why didn't the general go north immediately after defeating the Qin army in Huayang, but waited a few days?" Han Fei was a little strange.

"I'm confirming the forces in Wang Di's hands, and we can only occupy it if Wang Di doesn't have the extra strength in his hands to support Tiger Pass. Otherwise, once the reinforcements from the Qin State arrive, we will be attacked by the enemy, and we will let go even if we defeat the Tiger Prison Pass. And now that the Qin State knows the news of the defeat of the Qin army, it will be easier for people to believe that we have fled back." Tian Dan explained.

He didn't tell Han Fei that his target was not only the Tiger Prison Pass, but also the 50,000 troops of the Qin State to support the front line.

Tian Dan will not pin his hopes entirely on Le Yi, he needs to ensure that he and the Han army can hold the Tiger Pass if Le Yi fails to capture Xingyang.

Therefore, this Qin reinforcement army must be resolved.

Tian Dan's courage has always been very great, once he dared to fight with hundreds of thousands of Yan troops with a lonely city, and today he dares to take the Han army to gamble on a tiger prison pass and 50,000 Qin troops.

"According to the intelligence, it will take two or three days for the Qin State reinforcements to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, but to be on the safe side, it is better to start today." Tian Dan thought in his heart, he really didn't know how the king bought the Qin State***, even who the commander of the Qin army was, and the time when the army set off, this person's status must not be low.

However, the detailed list of Zhao Guo's purchases in various countries is only known to Zhao Kuo and Liu Ping, and the others, including the left and right ministers, are not clear, and Tian Dan does not know who it is.

Soon, Gongsun Yue took hundreds of Qin army costumes and armor clothes.

"General, why don't I go?" Gongsun Yue said.

"Ben will go himself." Tian Dan said solemnly, he is not at ease when this matter is handed over to others.

Tian Dan endured the sour smell on his clothes, took his guards to change into Qin Jun armor, and walked back and forth in the woods a few times, so that his body and hair were covered with fallen leaves and mud, and he wiped some dust on his face.

Half an hour later, when the sun was in the west, the hottest time of the day, and also the most tired time of the day, Tian Dan led five hundred Zhao troops to limp towards the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Who?" The defenders of Tiger Prison Pass immediately discovered Tian Dan and others.

"We...... We are under the command of General Zhang, General Zhang was defeated, and we ...... We fled all the way back......" Tian Dan said tremblingly.

"Wait a minute." When the defenders heard this, they did not suspect anything, but chose to report to the general.

The news of Zhang Ruo's defeat had already reached Guanzhong, and even reinforcements were on the way, not to mention the defenders of Tiger Pass.

These days, they have gathered thousands of defeated troops one after another.

Soon, the Tiger Prison Guard appeared at the city gate, glanced at Tian Dan and the others casually, and asked, "The others have already returned, why haven't you come back until now?"

"General, we fled into the mountains, and we didn't come out until yesterday, and there are more than four hundred brothers left in a thousand brothers, and we haven't eaten for several days. Will the general let us in and prepare us some food?" Tian Dan tore the tattered clothes and tattered armor on his body, and pleaded sadly.

"Is there a token?" The Keeper asked.

"Yes." Tian Dan took out a smooth bamboo board from his bosom, on which his name, place of origin, military position, and portrait were recorded, and Tian Dan found out from the above 100 people of the Qin army to be more like him.

The guard ordered people to put down the hanging basket and get the token, due to the long-term sweat and rain, the portrait has been blurred, but it can still be seen that the outline is consistent with the field list, plus the field list They are not the first batch, they have gathered a lot these days

The army was routed.

The guard did not suspect anything, waved his hand, and motioned for the soldiers to lower the gates and let the comrades enter the city.

"Thank you, General, thank you, General." Tian Dan bowed again and again, said gratefully, and led hundreds of 'defeated troops behind him' towards the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Don't run around after you come in, Ben has already ordered someone to prepare food for you, and after you are full, go to Luoyang, register there, and then form a new team. If a person is found to have returned to his hometown without authorization, he will be punished as a deserter. Do you understand?" The guard general walked in front of Tian Dan, and a pungent sour smell rushed to his face, and the guard quickly retreated into the distance and said loudly.

"Understood, thank you, General." Tian Dan leaned over and said, the moment he bowed his head, his right hand suddenly pulled out a spear from behind his back and stabbed towards the Qin army guard.

"Poof!" The cold light flashed, and the spear pierced the chest of the Qin army guard effortlessly, and the Qin army guard stared at Tian Dan in disbelief, and he didn't understand why the other party killed him until he died.

"Kill them all, leave not a single one, don't throw the corpses into the Yellow River, bury them afterwards." Tian Dan ordered, and at the same time strode out, and swept towards the Qin army with a shot, and the blue light dozens of meters long flashed, knocking out all the Qin troops who rushed over.

The Qin State used the Yellow River to transport grain and grass, and if the corpse was thrown into the Yellow River and seen by the grain transportation team, it was very likely that it would be reported and arouse the vigilance of the Qin army.

Once the reinforcements learned that the Tiger Prison Pass was lost, whether they chose to attack or choose to stick to the place, Tiandan would fall into a very embarrassing situation, so the Qin army must not be allowed to escape from the net, nor can the Qin army find out that the Tiger Prison Pass has been lost.
