As the sun gradually rose, the figure of Meng Fu was long gone, and the battle in the valley was finally coming to an end.

In less than half an hour, the remnants of the Qin army had been surrounded by the Zhao army at the beginning and end of the valley, because only here would it not be invaded by the mountain fire.

It's a pity that even if you can avoid the mountain fire, you can't avoid Zhao Jun's sword.

The Zhao army, which was in an absolute advantage in numbers, soon launched a division operation against the Qin army, and what followed was the Zhao army's clearance mode.

In less than half an hour, the sound of swords colliding with metal gradually weakened, and more only the sound of swords entering the flesh was left, which was Zhao Jun mercilessly mending the swords of the Qin soldiers.

At the same time, the flames that had been burning in the valley were gradually extinguished, and the air was filled with the gray smoke of burning plants and trees and the smell of roasted meat.

After waiting for the temperature to gradually decrease, Zhao Jun on the hillside immediately stepped on a neat pace and began to enter the field to collect the corpses of Qin Jun.

It was only two hours before and after, and when the sun hung in the sky, Zhao Jun finally completed the ambush operation.

Not only was the ambush battle against the Qin army in the valley, but the ambush battle in the south of Xinzheng City also ended in the complete victory of Zhao State more than half an hour ago.

After all, the main general of the Han army still could not wait for reinforcements from the Qin army or Xinzheng City, and as time passed, the soldiers of the Korean army obviously gradually realized the fact that they had been abandoned.

Immediately, the Korean army, which was divided and surrounded, began to surrender to the Zhao army one by one.

In the end, only the envoys sent by the king of Han and the thousands of people led by the main general of the Han army were still resisting.

It's not that they are resolute, it's just that there are too many illusions in their hearts, and they are in the center of the entire battlefield, so they were finally surrounded by the Zhao Legion.

It's not that they haven't thought about escaping as soon as possible with their own soldiers, but if they can escape this battlefield, where can they flee to?

Xinzheng? Without these 30,000 troops, can Xinzheng still be able to hold on?

It's nothing more than the next goal!

So, the two people who had the last delusion in their hearts actually persevered to the end. It's just that, in the end, they still have to face the reality - the reality that defeat is already decided.

Without the slightest suspense, Zhao Kuo personally led the troops to tear open the last line of defense of the Korean army, and the 30,000 Korean troops were finally defeated in the hands of the 20,000 Zhao troops, of which nearly half of the Korean troops also became prisoners of the Zhao army.

At noon, the Battle of Xinzheng finally ended, and the entire Qin-Han coalition army was more than 55,000 people, and only by relying on the desperate battle of Meng Fu broke through nearly 10,000 people, and on the two battlefields, the total casualties of the Zhao army were not even 7,500.

It can be said that in this ambush battle, Zhao Guo is still the undoubted victor.

Whether judging from the results of strategy or tactics, Zhao Guo has undoubtedly achieved his goal.

Needless to say tactically, the Zhao army killed more than 45,000 Qin-Han allied forces with only 7,500 casualties, and the battle loss ratio was as high as 1 to 6.

Especially among the Qin army, the elite 5,000 cavalry also lost more than half of them because of the desperate fight.

If he hadn't been afraid that Meng Fu would have an accident, he had to add these 5,000 cavalry to Meng Fu, Meng Fu would not have been able to rush to the valley so quickly, and it would have been impossible to break the gap when the Zhao army's reinforcements had not arrived and the formation had not been completed.

It is very likely that without these 5,000 elite cavalry, Meng Yu's troops would have been locked in the valley by Li Mu, and none of them would have escaped.

Of course, tactical success is secondary, and the key is strategic success.

Obviously, the Qin army's plan to return to the country of Han this time has failed, and the Han army with less than 10,000 people left in Xinzheng City is trembling, and there are only two roads in front of the Qin army.

Either raise no less than 70,000 troops and quickly go north to aid the country of Han; Either you can sit back and watch Zhao Jun destroy Yan and swallow Han.

Neither of these options is a good option.

The former is tantamount to delaying the progress of the attack on the Chen capital of the Chu State again, and it is very likely to cause the Zhao State to take the Yan State before its own home

The consequences of not being able to break through Chen Du yet.

Once this happens, the main force of the Zhao army will move south, and the army that reinforces the country of Han will inevitably not be an opponent, and the Qin army will most likely fall into a dilemma and lose on both sides.

And the latter is no less than a complete admission of defeat in this autumn offensive, and what is even worse is that once the lands of Yan and Han fall into the hands of Zhao, between Qin and Zhao, the contrast of national strength and the state of attack and defense will change shape from now on.

However, fortunately, it will take time for Meng Fu, who broke through, to bring the news back to Wang Di.

Perhaps, the choice is no longer in the hands of Qin Jun Wang Di.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the two Zhao armies immediately successfully joined forces in the south of Xinzheng City, but Zhao Kuo was a little hesitant in the face of Xinzheng City, which was already like a ripe peach.

You must know that Zhao Kuo's original plan was just to go south to rescue the Chu army, but he didn't expect that Qin chose the third way between aiding Korea and abandoning Korea-aiding Korea with a small number of troops.

An opportunity to encircle the point to send reinforcements immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

And the result was as imagined, not only was the Korean army completely wiped out, but even the reinforcements of the Qin army were also defeated.

I have to say that Wang Di's decision to reverse the result is indeed a bit hasty. However, from the perspective of the people concerned, sending these 55,000 troops back to Xinzheng at that time was indeed the best and least loss-making method.

Things can't start from the result, if there is no Zhao Kuo's encirclement to send reinforcements, the 55,000 army is indeed enough to help Han Zhiguo defend Xinzheng.

On the other hand, if Wang Yu sent enough troops and horses to Xinzheng at that time, although the possibility of being surrounded and sent reinforcements was gone, it greatly delayed the speed of attacking Chendu, and when the main force of the Zhao army took Jicheng, it would go south and besiege Xinzheng, and the result would not necessarily be better than now.

But one way or another, if you lose, you lose.

In this world, there is never a what if. And even if the Qin army wants to send troops to aid South Korea again, I'm afraid it will be more than ten days later.

More than ten days were enough for more than 60,000 people under Zhao Kuo to capture this Xinzheng City, which had almost no troops.

And once Xinzheng is in hand, there is no reason not to surrender to the remaining ten cities in the country of Han, and with Xinzheng, the Zhao army can be stationed in Xinzheng, and from then on it will be able to curb the throat of the Qin army going east and going north.

It didn't go too well!

It's just that Qin Jun will let Zhao Kuo take Xinzheng so easily? Wang Di, who learned that the Zhao army had defeated his coalition forces, would inevitably go crazy and transfer all his troops to Xinzheng.

There is no way, Xinzheng's position is too sensitive, no matter whether the Qin army wants to go east from Zhou in the future, or wants to go north from Chudi, Xinzheng can send troops to interfere at any time.

In other words, unless the Qin army continued to move east from Chu and continued to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army, which was almost left with only poor mountains and bad waters, the Qin army was bound to take Xinzheng.

A new Zheng city can change too many situations.

Therefore, what Zhao Kuo was thinking about was not the question of how to take Xinzheng or not, but how to face the inevitable crazy attack of the Qin army after taking Xinzheng.

If the army attacking Yan can turn back in time, it goes without saying, but it is very likely that the army attacking Yan will not be able to turn around in a short time, and Zhao Kuo obviously has no intention of urging Lian Po and Tian Dan.

So, is it possible to resist the Qin army in Xinzheng with the current more than 60,000 troops?

If you are not sure to block the crazy attack of the Qin army's 200,000 troops, is it still necessary to take Xinzheng?

If he doesn't take Xinzheng himself, then the country of Han will still be there, and the country of Han will still be there, and the state of Qin will not be able to occupy it unscrupulously, after all, the country of Han is his only ally.

And if he takes Xinzheng and Qin takes it back, Qin will probably not return Xinzheng to Han Zhiguo.

In this way, Zhao Jun's previous victories became irrelevant, and he was even making a wedding dress for the Qin army.

Therefore, if you want to take Xinzheng, you must be prepared to fight to the death with the Qin army in Xinzheng.

At least, it can be regarded as a prologue before the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao.

So new

Zheng, is it possible to become the first battlefield of the decisive battle with the Qin army?

Looking at the majestic Xinzheng City in the distance, Zhao Kuo was also a little unsure, and then seemed to ask himself, and muttered to himself as if he was puzzled: "This Xinzheng City, will the widow fight or not?"

Although the voice was soft, Li Mu and Zhao Wei, who were standing beside him, could hear it clearly.

"Of course we have to fight." Zhao Wei replied almost without thinking.

"Oh?" Hearing Zhao Wei's answer, Zhao Kuo was not annoyed, but looked at Zhao Wei with a serious face, and continued to ask, "Why?"

"What is brought to your mouth, how can you not eat it!" Zhao Wei also replied with a serious face.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo was slightly stunned, then looked at Li Mu again with understanding, and continued to ask, "What does General Li think?"

Li Mu obviously thought much more than Zhao Wei, and after a little hesitation for a while, he finally replied with his fists clenched, "What General Zhao said, although it is direct, is the most reasonable. God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame."

Of course, Li Mu also knew what Zhao Kuo was worried about, and after affirming Zhao Wei's answer, he also gave his explanation, saying, "If the Qin army comes, it can be guarded, and if it can't, it will retreat, anyway, our army is already invincible."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo finally laughed.

yes, what are you worried about? The opportunity to surpass the national strength of the Qin State was finally in front of him, and he was actually scared?

Afraid of what? Afraid that the Qin army will attack in a big way, and afraid that the country of Han will completely fall into the hands of the Qin army, will the Qin army not go north if he does not attack Xinzheng? Could it be that if he withdrew from the country of Han, the country of Han would not be completely mastered by the Qin army?

Han Zhiguo, which has no troops, can only rely on Qin, which is already an indisputable fact, if he retreats, it is tantamount to giving up Han's country to Qin.

Xinzheng, if you don't fight, you have to fight.

However, since you have to fight, you have to prepare according to the victory!

"General Li, give the order, build siege equipment, and prepare to attack Xinzheng." Zhao Guo, who had made up his mind, immediately ordered Li Mu.

"Yes." Li Mu immediately agreed.

"The flying pigeon sent an order to Shangdang Guangwolf City to prepare for a tentative attack on the east of the Qin Kingdom." Zhao Kuo continued to order, "The target is to leave the Stone Fortress."

"Yes." The herald next to him immediately agreed.

"Zhao Wei." Zhao Kuo then continued to order: "Pegasus return to Handan, pull out the soldiers in the west of the city, and stand by in the forest in the west of Xinzheng City!"

Zhao Wei, who heard the order, was immediately overjoyed, and immediately clasped his hands into fists and said, "Yes."

Immediately, as if flying, Zhao Wei hurriedly left Zhao Kuo......
