Chapter 706: Surround Zhao and save Qin

In the king's tent, Qin Wangji was even older, the whole person was slumped on the couch, his eyes were dim, his hair was as pale as snow, the wrinkles on his face were like pine bark piled together, and only his slightly undulating chest told the guards that he was still alive.

The oil lamp squeaked and burned, emitting a faint smell of burning, and the two maids stood aside, their heads bowed, not daring to move.

"The King." Fan Ju pushed open the curtain and entered the camp with Lü Buwei successively, the wind blew in from the outside along the gap, the lights shook violently, almost extinguished, and Lü Buwei, who was walking behind, hurriedly lowered the curtain.

"Xiangguo is here, and Shaofu is also ...... It's back." Qin Wangji tried to open his eyes, his two dry arms supported his body, and he wanted to sit up, but the maid hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao refuses to negotiate peace." Lü Buwei leaned over and told him what had happened.

"Ugh." Qin Wangji sighed deeply, he had expected this, after all, if he was Zhao Kuo, it would be impossible to give up this opportunity to weaken the Qin State, but after really learning about it, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Great King, the minister still has a plan, maybe he can make Zhao retreat!" Fan Ju took a step forward and gritted his teeth and said.

"What is Xiangguo's plan, just say it." Qin Wangji's eyes lit up.

"In addition to this, General Wang Ling also has an army of 50,000 in Hanoi to confront Lian Po, a famous general of Zhao. The king could send an order to Wang Ling, leaving part of the army to confuse Lian Po, and lead the rest of the army to attack Handan from Hanoi. At this time, the main forces of Zhao were all on the front line, and the country was empty, and once it was learned that the country was surrounded by a large army, it would inevitably withdraw. The alliance is called the Four Kingdoms, but in fact, it is all supported by the Zhao State, as long as the Zhao State withdraws its troops, the remaining three countries will inevitably withdraw their troops." Fan Ju said in a deep voice.

Zhao refused to negotiate peace, and the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qi followed Zhao with all their hearts, and Chu watched from the wall.

It was the only way he could think of a way to break the game.

As far as he knew, Zhao State, like Qin State, had the vast majority of its troops on the front line.

But the difference is that the Qin State has natural dangers such as Hangu Pass, Wuguan Pass, and Dasan Pass, while the Zhao State has no danger to defend, from Hanoi to Handan, one horse and Pingchuan, and there is no army to garrison.

The only one who could cause interference to the Qin army was Lian Po's army, but Wang Ling could have taken Handan before Lian Po received the news.

Even if he failed to capture Handan, as long as he attracted Zhao Kuo back to the army, it would be a victory for the Qin State.

"Sangkook is really a clever plan!" Qin Wangji said excitedly.

Handan is to Zhao what Xianyang is to Qin.

And the Hebei where Handan is located is to the Zhao State what Guanzhong is to the Qin State.

This is the foundation of a country.

Even if the Qin army could not capture Handan, it could still loot around.

Zhao would never watch Hebei face the risk of being plundered by the Qin army.

"Please also ask the king to withdraw to the city first, and then give an order to General Wang Ling." Fan Ju said.

The city is close to Wuguan, and if the Zhao army is desperate to attack the city, the Qin army can withdraw to Wuguan at any time and refuse to defend it.

If you stay in the city, once the Zhao army receives the news that the Qin army is attacking Handan, and desperately attack the city, the city is very likely to be captured.

"Okay." Qin Wangji listened to Fan Ju's plan, and seemed to feel some hope again, and he was in a good mood for a while.

That night, Wang Jian flew from Qicheng to Xicheng with Qin Wangji on his back.

Under normal circumstances, as a monarch, Qin Wangji would never put his life and death in the hands of others, even if the possibility of Wang Jian plotting to kill him is very, very low.

However, the siege of the city was besieged, and it was obviously more dangerous to evacuate with the army.

At that time, a group of Qin troops sneaked out of the city and quietly withdrew in the direction of the city.

Bai Qi chose to withdraw at four o'clock in the morning and when it was almost five o'clock, when the sky was already slightly bright, and it did not affect the march. And Zhao Jun has not woken up yet, or has just woken up, his spirit is the most lax, and his combat effectiveness is also the lowest.

The Qin army had already recuperated, and even if it encountered an ambush by the Zhao army, it would be able to win the battle.

"Great King, you have found the traces of the Qin army, and you are withdrawing your troops in the northwest direction." Zhao Kuo was still asleep, and a scout rushed into the camp, was stopped by the guards, and stood outside the camp tent to report urgently

"Say it again." Zhao Kuo woke up suddenly, sat up from the couch, took his robe and draped it over his body, and let the scouts in.

The scout hurriedly said it again.

"How many armies are there? What is the flag?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"It's the banner of white, the army...... The subordinates did not count clearly, but it was conservatively estimated to be more than 30,000, and the queue was very long, and the subordinates could not see the end at a glance." The scout clenched his fists and said.

"Drumming. After passing the order, he ordered Tian Dan, Yan Ju, Meng Fu, and Le Cheng to immediately lead the cavalry to pursue the Qin army, ordered Meng Wu and Touman to block the Qin army, and ordered Jia Yan to lead the army to attack the city, and the rest of the generals discussed the matter in the big tent." Zhao Kuo immediately ordered.

In addition to encircling the three directions of the southeast and north of the city, Zhao Kuo also ordered Meng Wu and Touman to lay an ambush on a hill ten miles west of the city.

It is said to be an ambush, but in fact, it is to camp there in the open.

Because he didn't know when the Qin army would withdraw its troops, there was no talk of an ambush, but it was impossible for him to let the Qin army leave safely.

If both sides are infantry and the Qin army retreats, the Zhao army has no good way, although the Qin army is defeated, but the organizational strength is still there.

But the Zhao army still has tens of thousands of cavalry, how can they give up this opportunity.

"No!"

Soon, the drums of the Zhao army sounded in the camps of the Zhao army, which spread far away in the silent early morning.

The moment the sound of the drums reached their ears, most of the soldiers bounced up from their couches almost reflexively, quickly put on their clothes, took their weapons, and went to assemble outside the camp.

From beginning to end, there were no superfluous words and no mutual inquiries about what was going on.

Everything was so natural, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

From the first day of their enlistment, the general told them that as soon as the drums sounded, no matter what was being done, everyone should gather at once, without exception.

Those who do not assemble within half an hour will be punished.

Such demanding requirements are unprecedented and almost impossible to achieve in this day and age.

Because you can't expect a bunch of strong men who have just been recruited and haven't been trained much to do that, it's good enough to be able to barely do it.

If you want to do this, the most basic requirement is a professional soldier.

Only by treating soldiers as a profession, so that everyone can gain benefits, honors, and status, will they do everything from the bottom of their hearts.

When they do it from the heart, what seems very difficult to others is not so difficult to do.

This is also the reason why Zhao Jun is a notch stronger than the armies of other countries.

Other countries can do this, either the military soul legion, or the veterans who will not die in a hundred battles, and each country is only thousands, and the Qin State was able to exceed 10,000 before.

The Army Soul Legion and the immortal veterans can do it, and it is an instinct formed by crawling and rolling on the battlefield for a long time.

If you can't do this, you'll die a long time ago.

Zhao Jun is different.

Zhao Jun was a real training that cost a lot of money and food.

In the entire Zhao State, there are more than 100,000 soldiers who can gather to hear the drums.

This is where the Zhao army really crushed the Six Kingdoms.

Soon, Yan Ju led the assembled Zhao Fei cavalry to rush out, and it was less than a quarter of an hour from the sound of the drum to the first cavalry stepping out of the camp.

Immediately afterwards, Le Cheng led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to follow Zhao Fei and kill him.

However, the speed of the Youyun Iron Cavalry was much slower than that of Zhao Fei's cavalry, and it was soon distanced by Zhao Feicai, and was overtaken by the cavalry behind.

After receiving the order, the large battalions in the south and north of the city also quickly sent troops to attack.

Bai Qi calculated that Zhao Jun was sleeping at this time, but he didn't calculate that Zhao Jun was gathering so fast anyway, and it only took a quarter of an hour from the sound of the drum to the killing.

Don't say you've seen it, you haven't heard of it.

Even Wu Qi, a master of military training, can't do it.

"General, there is a large camp of the Zhao army on the hill ahead, look

It should be about 10,000 people." Wang Qian, who rushed back from Xicheng, said to Bai Qi.

He had just returned to the city with Qin Wangji on his back, and he had almost explored the situation along the way.

Not every legion has a transcendent realm powerhouse who personally serves as a scout.

"Zhao Jun really has an ambush." Bai Qi snorted coldly, "Pass the order, go around, don't disturb Zhao Jun."

It was imperative to preserve the strength of the Qin army and withdraw to the city, rather than engage the Zhao army.

"General, the Zhao army is catching up from behind." Soon, Bai Qi received another report from the scout, and was immediately surprised, and even wondered if the news had been leaked in advance.

However, only a few people knew the specific time of the retreat of the Qin army, and ordinary soldiers did not know, they only knew that the army would withdraw in the near future.

"Wang Qian, you lead the cavalry to open the way in front." Bai Qi said to Wang Qian.

"No." Wang Jian clenched his fists and said, leading the Longxi cavalry and all the Qiang cavalry to rush forward.

Most of the Qiang cavalry surrendered, and some of them died in battle, and now there are not many left, and the Longxi cavalry combined, it is less than 10,000, which is also the last cavalry of Qin.

"Xin Wu, Xiang Shou, each of you will lead an army of 10,000 to return to Xicheng from the path, there will be Ben to attract the attention of Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun will not notice you." Bai Qi said.

While the Zhao army had not yet caught up, he had to preserve the vitality of the Qin army as much as possible.

"General." Xin Wu and Xiang Shou said urgently.

"Obey orders." Bai Qi said in a deep voice.

"No." Xin Wu and Xiang Shou were unwilling to lead their legions and the army to separate, and rushed to the city from the small road.

"The Black Armor Army and the General's Highness." Bai Qi looked at the black armor army around him, which was still not full, only 3,100 soldiers, and sighed in his heart, not knowing how many black armor troops were left after this battle.

……

"So many people!" Yan Ju led Zhao Fei to chase not far from the Qin army, looking at the Qin army that spread to the end of the earth like a long snake, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"General, shall we rush?" Adjutant General Li Qian asked.

"With so many people rushing, you really think you're invincible." Yan Ju glared at Li Qian.

Although Zhao Feiqi can also fight in close combat, there is no need for close combat at this time.

Li Qian shrunk his neck, smiled, and stopped talking.

"Shoot the arrows!" Yan Ju ordered, leading Zhao Feiqi to ride past Bai Qi like the wind, leaving only the rain of arrows in the sky, and Bai Qi's face was blue with anger, but there was nothing he could do about Zhao Feiqi.

That's how terrible about cavalry!

There was no question of who was stronger or weaker between cavalry and infantry.

But the speed of the cavalry determines that it will always hold the initiative in the war, while the infantry can only be beaten passively.

Just like it is now.

Boom Boom!

The overwhelming rain of arrows fell on the Black Armor Army, causing only ten figures of casualties, but the explosion after Zhao Feiqi's attack hit made the Black Armor Army disgraced, and their morale couldn't help but drop.

Seeing this, the Qin army shot arrows at Zhao Feiqi to counterattack, but Zhao Feiqi deftly dodged it, and the arrows sank into the dirt, stirring up a little dust.

Zhao Feiqi laughed wildly and kept shooting Qin Jun.

The Black Armor Army was able to block Zhao Fei's arrows, but ordinary Qin troops did not have this ability.

"General, there's a mountain road ahead." Li Qian pointed to the small hillside not far away and said.

There are no big mountains nearby, but there are many small hills like this, which have a great impact on the pursuit of the Zhao army.

"This kind of hill, rush straight over!" Yan Ju said in a deep voice.

Zhao Fei rode the war horse under his crotch and quickly extended out golden light wings nearly two zhang long to both sides, and the huge light wings slammed out, Zhao Fei jumped up lightly from the ground, and then crossed two hundred meters away, and then easily flew over the hillside, and did not even forget to attack the Qin army in the middle.

"Comfortable!" Zhao Feiqi shouted.

"Anyway, it feels like we've been getting a lot stronger lately!" Li Qian said.

In the past, Zhao Feiqi couldn't fly so far, and he couldn't even call it it

Flying, at most a few tens of meters, now Zhao Feiqi has been able to fly more than two hundred meters, if the soul of the army is burned, he can even fly a mile away.

"It may be related to the revival of Reiki, it may also be related to the previous Emperor Flowing Pulp, and it may also be related to the fortune of the country. But I don't know the specifics. I just heard that our Zhao Feiqi is linked to Zhao Guoyun, and the stronger Zhao Guoyun, the stronger our Zhao Feiqi's strength will be. On the contrary, if the fortunes of the Zhao Kingdom are weakened, the strength of our Zhao Feiqi will also decline." Yan Ju said.

He didn't take it seriously before, but recently, with the continuous rise of the Zhao State and the increasing strength of Zhao Feiqi, he suddenly remembered this matter.

"What about the other Soul Legions, such as the Praetorian Guard." Li Qian asked.

"The Praetorian Guard is fundamentally different from us, the Praetorian Guard relies more on the Great King, while we rely on the entire Zhao Kingdom." Yan Ju said.

This is also something he discovered after he gradually mastered Zhao Feiqi, of course, it was also because there were no other military soul legions in Zhao State before, so he couldn't make a comparison.

"I don't understand." Li Qian shook his head.

"Actually, I don't know much about it, it's all Du Pingjun who told me. According to him, if the Zhao State was destroyed, Zhao Feiqi would immediately fall from the Army Soul Legion, but the Praetorian Guard would not. I don't know." Yan Ju shook his head. "Don't talk about this now, kill the enemy."

"General...... They, they flew over." Qin Jun opened his mouth wide and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

It was the first time for most people to see this kind of scene, and the morale of the Qin army was very huge.

"There are so many of us that Zhao Jun doesn't dare to come down." The generals of the Qin army kept comforting the soldiers, but they could not bring back the morale no matter what.
