Chapter 768 Strangling Wang Di Po Han Valley

The more fatal news soon came, and he had already seen the figure of the Zhao army's cavalry in his rear.

Wang Di's heart suddenly sank to the bottom with a thud - how could Zhao Jun come so quickly?

"How many people are there, are they Zhao Jun scouts?" Holding on to the last trace of luck, Wang Di asked the scout who came to report the news in a trembling voice.

"It's not a small-scale scout. There are at least tens of thousands." The scout calmly answered Wang Di's question.

But what the scout didn't know was that his answer was like a sharp arrow piercing Wang Di's heart.

Wang Yi knew that perhaps the transfer he thought was secret had long been under the monitoring of Zhao Jun, otherwise he would not be able to explain the Zhao Army blocking him in front of him, and he would not be able to explain that the Zhao Army that was surrounded by Zhao Jun appeared on his back road a few hours after the war began.

There is no suspense anymore.

Wang Di raised his head again and looked at the soldiers of the Qin army who were still fighting bloodily in front of him, and then Wang Di's gaze crossed the battlefield and looked in the direction of Xianyang in the distance.

"My king, the king has done his best." Gently, Wang Yi said goodbye in the direction of home in a voice that could only be heard by himself.

This is despair in the truest sense of the word.

Not only because his army has fallen into encirclement, but also because the Qin State has completely lost hope of turning the tables.

Once his 150,000 army was wiped out, the Zhao army could immediately move north and form a two-sided attack on Hangu Pass.

In the case of cutting off foreign aid, Hangu Pass could not last more than two months.

Then, the Zhao army could concentrate all its forces and launch a final attack on Xianyang.

No matter how majestic Xianyang is, it is impossible to hold it under the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of troops.

The state of Qin has completely lost any hope of turning the tables.

Even, if Li Mu is in a hurry, after solving his 150,000 army, he can directly take his head and march towards Xianyang.

The scene of Zhao Jun's banner planting all over Xianyang seemed to be close at hand, and Wang Yi also closed his eyes in pain.

But the blood of the old Qin people who swore not to admit defeat rushed to the frozen mind again, and Wang Yi immediately opened his eyes again.

And with the reopening of the tiger's eyes, there is no longer despair and confusion about the future in his eyes, and some are just desperate to fight.

Taking a deep breath and looking at the rear formation, where there was still no movement, Wang Yi immediately ordered: "Each lieutenant and lieutenant will lead their own troops, immediately get rid of the enemy in front of them, and break through in the direction of Xianyang."

Yes, what Wang Yu gave was not an order to fight to the death, but to disperse and break through.

It's not that Wang Yi is afraid of death, on the contrary, death is already the easiest thing for Wang Ji at this time.

What he wanted was to keep the military strength for Xianyang and his king as much as possible, even if it was only 12,000, or even only 1,200.

There is no way, if you fight to the death, you can only die yourself. Even if they were lucky enough to break through a part of the troops, the soldiers and horses who suffered heavy losses were bound to be strangled when facing the second line of defense of the Zhao army outside Xianyang City.

Only by taking advantage of the lack of enemy troops in front of him and the follow-up Zhao army before they arrived, to disperse and break through, it was possible to escape back to Xianyang City with a full set of soldiers and horses.

Only the soldiers and horses formed into the system may be able to break through the blockade outside Xianyang City.

Of course, the premise is that the 50,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side cannot be dispersed as thoroughly as he did.

For this reason, Wang Yi obviously has a plan.

After conveying the first order, Wang Ji immediately continued to issue the second order: "The 20,000 horses and horses belonging to the Chinese army, together with the general's personal soldiers, will launch an attack on the enemy in front of the general."

When the words fell, Wang Di had already held the long knife in his hand.

Between the horse's belly, Wang Yi had already rushed to the Zhao army in front of him, which was blocking the Qin army's return to Xianyang, with a long knife.

Obviously, Wang Yi wanted to use himself and the 25,000 elites of the Chinese army to drag down Tiandan's interception troops, so that more Qin troops could break through the front and return

In the city of Xianyang.

It should be said that Wang Di's abacus is playing well, but unfortunately, he still underestimated Li Mu's ability.

The main army led by the four major generals of the Warring States Period, if it is not released from the water, how can it be easily discovered by your scouts?

Since the scouts who helped the army could already be discovered by the Qin army, it meant that there were more elite soldiers, and I am afraid that they had already penetrated deep into the hinterland.

Yes, just when Wang Di was trying to disperse and break through, Li Mu had already arranged two cavalry on the left and right, and began a detour towards the left and right flanks of the Qin army.

And as we all know, two legs can't outrun four legs. Xiushu.com

Just as Wang Di's order was given and the Qin soldiers began to charge regardless of it, the two Zhao cavalry had already begun to deploy their forces on both sides of the Qin army.

Although the fighting continues, the actual result is already self-evident.

The Qin army, which had just begun to disperse and break through, was quickly intercepted by Li Mu's cavalry, and the few cavalry that could escape were dragged by Tian Dan's cavalry.

Fortunately, Wang Di did not need to see this desperate scene.

Soon after taking the elite of the Chinese army and launching a fierce attack on Tiandan's department, Wang Di had already fallen in the fierce battle.

It's not that the Zhao army in Tiandan's department is too powerful, but Wang Ji has already had a will to die, where there is danger, he will make up, and where there are many Zhao troops, he will attack wherever he wants.

If he has Zhao Wei's martial arts, that's fine.

It's a pity that Wang Di doesn't have such good martial arts, coupled with the decline in physical strength brought about by being over half a hundred years old, Wang Di's combat effectiveness is even worse than that of ordinary generals.

Repeatedly hitting Zhao Jun's blade like this, it became normal to die in battle.

However, such a way of dying may also be a relief for Wang Di.

Perhaps it was also because of Wang Yi's sudden death that the Qin army that broke through could not adapt to local conditions well, let alone get rid of the entanglement of Tiandan's department in time.

As a result, for more than half an hour, the Qin army's breakthrough was almost ineffective.

And Li Mu obviously realized that the Qin army's movements were not quite right, and immediately urged the cavalry to speed up the detour.

Finally, before the 150,000 Qin troops could react, Zhao Jun completely put them in his pocket.

The breakthrough of the Qin army was casually declared a failure.

The Qin army, which failed to break through, did not have the unified command of Wang Di, and was soon divided and surrounded by Li Mu's army.

It's just that this Qin army did not live up to Wang Di's training in the end.

Even though they were divided and surrounded, no one put down their weapons.

Even until the last moment of their lives, the Qin army was still firmly carrying out the order given by their main general, Wang Di, to break through in the direction of Xianyang.

The battle of encirclement and suppression lasted for three days and three nights. This was thanks to the help of Zhao Wei's five thousand heavy cavalry.

After all, the 200,000 Zhao army still strangled all the 150,000 Qin troops outside Xianyang City.

The last elite field army of the Qin State finally disappeared from the land where he was born together with the last famous general of the Qin State.

After solving Wang Di, Li Mu and Tian Dan also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this person is a man who can confront General Lian Po for three years without being defeated!

It's a pity that because the battle was too fierce, Wang Di's body had already been trampled by the war horse, and if it weren't for the armor and military badge on his body, he wouldn't have recognized Wang Di at all.

However, as a general, dying on the battlefield can be regarded as a kind of destination.

Immediately, Li Mu also ordered someone to build a good coffin, put Wang Di's body in it, and brought a few hundreds of wounded soldiers to the city of Xianyang.

This move, of course, is out of respect for Wang Di's opponent.

But more importantly, Li Mu naturally wanted to threaten and intimidate the Qin subjects in Xianyang with the death of Wang Di and the fear of hundreds of captives.

If you can make Xianyang give up

Resisting that is naturally the best, and even if it can't, it will at least let Xianyang's morale drop by a section.

Of course, Li Mu was not stupid to wait for King Qin's decision outside Xianyang City.

Instead, after handing over the corpse and prisoners to General Tiandan, Li Mu led a large army towards Hangu Pass.

The decision of the King of Qin, with the demise of Wang Di and the last field elite, had become irrelevant.

Descend, but to make Zhao Jun easier; If it doesn't fall, it's just a matter of making the army work hard for a few more months.

Soon, under the leadership of Li Mu, Hangu Pass was completely blocked.

Immediately, nearly 300,000 troops also launched a two-sided attack on Hangu Pass.

In the end, Hangu Pass is worthy of being the world's strongest pass, even in such a bad situation, it still fiercely withstood the two-sided attack from the Zhao army.

But the problem is that under Li Mu's blockade, not only can there be no continuous supply of food in Hangu Pass, but also the huge daily consumption of arrows and other ordnance materials cannot be supplied.

Without food, in a short period of time, the Qin army can still hold on, and even if it is not good, it can still kill horses to satisfy hunger.

But without arrows, the Qin army standing at the head of Hangu City could only become the target of the Zhao army, and without the rolling wood and stones, the Qin army could only use its body to block the Zhao army's attack.

Even Xiongguan Hangu soon lost the possibility of continuing to hold on.

In the winter of 251 B.C., Hangu Pass, which had easily kept the Six-Nation Alliance out of the country, finally lowered his noble head.

The remaining 30,000 Qin troops, in hunger, hardship and cold, walked out of the pass and surrendered to the Zhao army.

Hangu, this Xiongguan that has stood firm after a hundred years of vicissitudes, is finally no longer owned by Qin.

And since then, only Xianyang has been left in the fertile soil of Guanzhong, and it is still resisting.

Soon, the news of the fall of Hangu Pass was sent into Xianyang City along with the seal of its guards.

Everyone understands that Lao Qin is over.

It's just that from King Qin to Li Min, they don't seem to be willing to accept this reality, and they still stubbornly stick to Xianyang, trying to wait for a miracle to happen.

It's a pity that they couldn't wait for the miracle to happen after all, but they waited for the arrival of Zhao Wangkuo......
