Surge! The Qin army must have increased its troops.

Judging from the fact that he failed to attack in several places, the Qin army still had a lot of troops.

However, in his own rear army, General Jin was still commanding the army to resist the Qin army, and no large Qin army broke through from his own defense line, in other words, the Qin army's reinforcement came from themselves or from the northeast.

And these two reinforcements all point to the fact that the Zhao army has entered the next stage of the campaign in advance - a breakthrough!

It's just that after coming to this judgment, Lian Po not only did not feel annoyed and confused about Zhao Kuo's sudden departure, but was once again pleased with Zhao Kuo's battlefield acumen.

Indeed, according to the plan of the old pass that day, Zhao Kuo should hold on for a few more days, so that the Qin and Wei armies can fully fight and consume the combat power of the Qin army, which will not only reduce the difficulty of the siege later, but also make it more certain when breaking through the siege.

However, whether it was Lian Po or Zhao Kuo, he never thought that the Wei army, which was also one of the three Jin Dynasty, would be so powerless in the face of the Qin army. After a sudden attack, Lian Po can be said to have taken all aspects into account, but he did not take into account that the combat strength of the Wei army was almost supported by thousands of Wei soldiers.

As a result, the intention of cutting through the Qin army's front and then letting the Qin army spend a lot of energy to snatch it back was not realized at all, although it also slaughtered tens of thousands of Qin troops, but in the face of the huge number of Qin troops, this bit of killing did not quench their thirst at all!

Especially in the defensive battle on the second day, the Wei army lacked the poor combat power of the soldiers as the backbone, but Lian Po was in a hurry, although he was still sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai on the surface, but in fact, he had secretly sentenced the Wei army to death, and he was even more anxious to inform Zhao Kuo about the combat strength of the Wei army.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo was keenly aware of the Wei army's combat strength after a night of fierce battles, and immediately took advantage of the Qin army's deployment of troops and generals to launch a breakthrough in advance.

As for whether the Zhao army could break through before the Qin army's strength was greatly damaged, Lian Po didn't know, but he believed in Zhao Kuo. And the breakthrough of the Zhao army also completely made Lian Po let go of the last big stone in his heart, and what Lian Po had to do next was to withdraw from this battle as "decently" as possible.

At this point in the war, the total strength of the Qin State and the Wei-Zhao coalition army on the battlefield was roughly 150,000 against 140,000, excluding the 140,000 troops hidden by the Zhao army.

The Wei army's original 120,000 troops were less than 90,000 troops, in addition to the 10,000 reserves, of which more than 30,000 troops met the 60,000 troops of the Qin army, relying on this camp and ravine, guarding the rear of this army to the death, and the other 40,000 troops were facing Sima Cuo's department.

The 60,000 troops of Sima Cuo's subordinate who were hit by Zhao Wei were only more than 33,000 people after two days of fierce battles, and in the face of the 40,000 troops under the personal command of Lian Po, although Sima Cuo transferred the thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the Zhao army, he still could not completely stop Lian Po's continuous offensive.

Fortunately, behind Sima Cuo, more than 25,000 Qin troops had already come to support under the command of Bai Qi.

On the battlefield farther north, the 30,000 Qin army was chasing the 60,000 Zhao army in the north and south, not seeking to leave all the Zhao army, but at least tearing off a large piece of flesh from the Zhao army.

It seems that the strength of the Zhao army plus the Wei army is almost the same as that of the Qin army, but unfortunately, the gap in their combat power is almost doubled.

Needless to say, the Zhao army has been fighting for a long time, and almost all the remaining 60,000 troops are young and strong, if there is no support of the fortress and the tactic of "pulling nails", I am afraid that the Qin army only needs 30,000 troops to kill the Zhao army in a few hours.

Although the Wei army is still better, as long as the soldiers are exhausted, the combat strength of the Wei army will decline like a cliff, and there are only more than 1,500 soldiers left. Therefore, the 90,000 army of the Wei army, at best, is the combat power of the Qin army's 40,000 to 50,000 troops, and this is still a situation where the military soldiers can fight until the last moment.

In other words, the combat power in the territory of Shangdang today, the Zhao-Wei coalition army is actually only about half of the total combat power of the Qin army.

On the periphery of the Shangdang battlefield, the west barrier, the south Jiepai Ridge, the east of the Guangwolf City, and the north of the exit of Zoumaling have been blocked by the Zhao army's 140,000 troops, even with the current Qin army's 150,000 combat strength, it is impossible to attack

Target.

Therefore, retreat is the best option - whether it is the Wei army or the Zhao army.

Lian Po knew very well that if he wanted to leave "decently", tonight might be the best choice, because when the rising sun would rise tomorrow, it would be the time for the Qin army to attack.

looked at Xinlingjun, who was still dazed and ignorant beside him, and then looked at the moon gradually rising on the side of the mountain, Lian Po still didn't say the word "retreat" after all.

First, now that the Zhao army is retreating, if its own side also retreats, what will the Qin army do, it is difficult to predict, if the Qin army in the encirclement turns around and pursues the Zhao army in the north after retreating, then he will pit the general.

Second, human nature, that is the most elusive thing. Although the current situation is not very good, the opportunity to defeat the invincible Qin army is not completely impossible, and the Xinling Jun who came from the "stealing talisman" will agree to withdraw his troops at this time? Even if Xinlingjun agreed, what about the generals and soldiers below?

Why don't you just wait!

At least, when the Zhao army in the north has broken through, he will have no worries. Of course, the price of this decision may be his own life. But Lian Po has no regrets.

Lian Po, who had made up his mind, immediately continued to devote himself to commanding the operation.

This battle between Qin and Wei still did not give in to each other, and the breakthrough battle of the Zhao army over there was not so easy.

The Qin army, which stood like a forest, faced the death charge of the Zhao army, was not false at all, the shield stood up, the spear stabbed, who loved whom, and didn't care how many troops the Zhao army came. In Qin Bing's eyes, Zhao Jun was just a moving feat.

Under the dense rain of jingling arrows, although the Qin army had losses, it did not retreat, quietly waiting for the Zhao army to come and send him to death.

With a bang, Zhao Jun's shield finally collided with Qin Jun's spear, and at the same time, Zhao Jun's spear finally touched Qin Jun's long shield, and after a moment of spark, it was the wrestling between the soldiers of the two sides.

The Qin army obviously had a lot of combat experience than the Zhao army, and the Ge spear always appeared where it should not be, reaping the lives of the Zhao soldiers through the shields of both the enemy and the enemy.

The strong bows and crossbows that the Qin army relied on to become famous were also fired in unison at this time, cutting a beautiful curve in the air, like the array of the Zhao army. The slingers and spearmen in the rear also exerted their strength in unison, instantly throwing out the stones and short spears in their hands, and the combined attack of this arrow caused a large number of kills to the Zhao army on the front line.

The Zhao army, which lacked combat experience, soon suffered heavy losses under such a three-dimensional blow from the Qin army.
