"Pass the general's order: the army bypasses the camp, goes south at full speed, and stays at the headquarters of the camp, which is the rear of the whole army." Zhao Wei announced Zhao Kuo's general order quite tragically.

"General, General's wound." The old doctor hurriedly interjected.

"The will of the general must not be disobeyed." Zhao Weihu replied with tears in his eyes, he knew that the temperament of the above general, if the general woke up and knew that he had delayed the army's trip because of his injury, it would be more sad than killing him.

"The general will ask the old gentleman." Zhao Wei bowed deeply to the old doctor.

"General, please get up quickly." The old doctor helped Zhao Wei up in a panic, although he was not a soldier, but looking at the general's bravery, he obviously understood that the general was categorically unwilling to delay the whole army because of himself, so he immediately sighed lightly and replied: "The old man is doing his best." ”

Although the generals were a little surprised by the order to retreat south, after receiving the order, they did not delay at all, and immediately left the whole team.

A series of actions of Zhao Jun here, Qin Jun's side is naturally in full view.

And after Wang Di learned that Zhao Jun had turned south, he almost didn't break the railing—because he had previously learned from Zhao Jun's cheers that Zhao Kuo might still be alive, but Wang Yu did not order the Qin army to chase and kill him.

Because in Wang Yi's opinion, if he hits the three-stone strong bow, even if he doesn't die immediately, he won't last long, and at worst he will be seriously injured. Serious injuries need to be treated, and healing requires a safe and quiet atmosphere, and here, Wang Yi has already obtained the battle report of the Battle of the Barrier. The army of 50,000 reinforcements led by the king will arrive in a few hours.

In other words, the tens of thousands of Zhao troops in front of them are about to be besieged in a few hours. And this group of Zhao troops who are about to be besieged are really not worth exchanging their lives with them.

However, he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo's sense of smell was so sensitive that he actually dragged his seriously injured body and decisively ordered all the troops to retreat south.

In the case of the main general being seriously injured, only Zhao Kuo could ignore his serious injuries and order the army to retreat south, and only Zhao Kuo's general order could mobilize the tens of thousands of elite Zhao troops. If anyone else is changed, even if Lian Po suddenly appears in the army, I am afraid that he will not move.

The Zhao army's southward escape undoubtedly made him lose an excellent opportunity to divide and encircle the Zhao army, and at the same time, after tens of thousands of troops joined the army of the southern route, it was bound to greatly increase the difficulty of the southern encirclement and annihilation battle.

Of course, it is useless to regret it now, seeing that the Zhao army has bypassed its village, and the pawns in the village have also been prepared to break off, at this time it is to let the troops chase after it, which is tantamount to attacking its camp, and the Zhao army has only been left behind to guard the pawn, but the loss is its own elite pawn.

You don't have to.

Now the west bank of Danshui has been occupied, as long as the north road is firmly held, the Zhao army will no longer have the possibility of escaping, just slowly march, slowly grinding away the Zhao army's grain, a big victory is in front of you, there is really no need to take the risk for a little profit, lose the lives of their own soldiers.

So, under the waning western mountains, the Zhao army had less than 40,000 horses left, carrying a broken military flag, slowly retreating southward, the remnant sun was like blood, and the figure of the Zhao army was stretched to the old elder.

A bloody battle finally ended in a lose-lose way.

The Qin army on the north road, a total of 150,000 cavalry, after the war, only less than 60,000 horses remained, nearly 100,000 troops were lost on this bloody battlefield, most of which were still the cavalry that the Qin army had developed with great difficulty, and the losses were so great that Wang Di, who was accustomed to seeing casualties, couldn't help but be speechless.

But, Wang Ji thinks, it's worth it. The loss of less than 100,000 troops successfully smashed the Zhao army's attempt to fight a decisive battle in northern Xinjiang, successfully blocked the route of the Zhao army's breakthrough, and completely sealed the more than 300,000 Zhao troops in a triangular formation composed of "Light Wolf City", "Danshui" and "Jiepai Ling".

After this battle, the strength of the Qin army has also been sharply reduced from nearly 500,000 troops at the beginning of the battle to about 300,000 today.

Its specific distribution is: 60,000 horses under Wang Yu in the north, 50,000 horses and horses in Wang Cai's reinforced army, 10,000 horses in Jiepai Ling and Guangwolf City guards, 25,000 men and horses in the fortress of the barrier, and more than 150,000 people in the main battalion of Bai Qi (including the troops who received reinforcements from Jiepai) in the south.

As for the Zhao army, a total of more than 120,000 troops were invested in the battlefield in the north, less than 40,000 horses returned to the south, and less than 20,000 cavalry remained. The most elite cavalry, which spent countless manpower and material resources, was almost completely wiped out in this battle.

What's more, Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao Guo, was attacked by the cold arrows of the Qin army and almost died on the battlefield.

At this point, the strength of the Zhao army has also been sharply reduced from nearly 500,000 troops (including 100,000 young men) at the beginning of the war to 280,000 infantry soldiers today.

Among them, nearly 100,000 troops are still more than 17,000 people (including the troops who escaped from the barrier) in the Daliang Mountain and the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall. On the real front line, the South Road Fortress also had less than 120,000 troops left under the wear and tear of the Qin army, and most of them were filled with young and strong, plus the 40,000 people who returned to the south, it was all that the Zhao army was facing against the Qin army.

After more than ten days of fighting, when the two armies of Qin and Zhao were deceitful, the battle losses were almost the same.

In fact, the two battles of the barriers, coupled with the just-concluded northern offensive, the Zhao army actually took some advantage.

But in the southern battlefield, since the beginning of the raid of the Wang Caisuo's out-of-bounds card leader, the Zhao army has been in absolute passivity, even if Zhao Kuo left countless fortresses for defense, but because of the lack of troops in the south, and the combat power is weak, even if it occupies a favorable location, where will it be the elite opponent of the Qin army. It is normal to have such a big loss when it is pressed.

Of course, such a battle loss ratio is also in line with the expectations of both sides.

Even for Zhao Kuo, such a battle loss was already a bit unexpected for him, after all, more than 100,000 troops he brought to the west bank of Danshui were pure parallel goods. With an army of 400,000, against the 500,000 army of the Qin army, there can be almost the same battle loss ratio, which is already a big victory.

Of course, these 100,000 young men actually participated in not many battles, except for the pursuit battle, it was the defensive battle of the fortress and the fortress, and the fortress battle in the south did not actually start on a large scale.

As for the Qin army, for such a result, it is naturally acceptable, after all, there are tens of thousands of new soldiers from Hedong in his army, from their point of view, although they are only 400,000 to 400,000, after a series of operations, although they lost more than 100,000 horses, but they left the main army of Zhao 400,000 on the west bank of Danshui.
