Evening.

Bai Zhong returned to the barracks and announced a three-day rest to learn about the current casualties in the army.

Of the more than 70,000 soldiers brought out of Wuguan, only about 60,000 remain.

Iron Eagle Ruishi, there are only 4,323 people at present, and after fighting so many battles, it is inevitable that there will be losses.

The first lieutenant on Ying Shu's side also lost more than 100 people.

There is not enough of these people, enough to fight Chen Cheng and take the entire Huaiyang, unless the Chu State can gather hundreds of thousands of troops to intercept them in a short period of time, it will be difficult to resist the Qin army's advance to the east by relying on Huaiyang's troops alone, as well as some reinforcements.

"General, after we go back, do you want to replenish the Iron Eagle Sharps again?"

Geng Wu was responsible for counting the number of Iron Eagle Warriors, and there were only more than 4,300 people left who could still go to the battlefield.

Many of the colleagues who used to train together and kill enemies together are gone unconsciously.

Meng Tian said: "As long as you go to the battlefield, there is a possibility of death, which is normal, but I also hope to replenish enough numbers to continue to maintain the prestige of our Ruishi, so that it will not slowly decline as before." ”

It's hard to regroup the Iron Eagle Sharps, and none of them want to see this kind of result.

"Brother Meng is right."

Wang Li agreed: "What does the general think? ”

Bai Zhong thought for a while and said, "After I go back, I will play the king and ask for another simple pull, but how to pull and train this time needs to come by yourself, and I am ready to leave it alone." ”

They should also be on their own.

Meng Tian assured: "General rest assured, it is enough to hand it over to us." ”

The same is true of Wang Li's promise.

Bai Zhong changed the topic and asked, "Qi refining technique, how are you practicing?" ”

"The general's qi refining technique is very powerful!"

Zhang Han first said: "During this period of time, I feel a lot stronger, my facial features are more acute, even if I don't sleep for a few days in a row, there will be no problems." ”

Wang Li echoed: "I'm like this too, in fact, I've been wondering, is the general taking us to cultivate immortals?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they looked at Bai Zhong at the same time.

Wang Li is not the only one who has this idea, Meng Tian and they all think so.

"What kind of immortal cultivation, it's just your cranky thinking, alchemy is just a breathing method to strengthen the body and enhance personal strength."

Bai Zhong said again: "You can teach General Shang and General Meng, as well as those you are sure to be trustworthy. ”

This qi refining technique can be spread gradually, in a small area, this is the first step for him to build an immortal Qin, and he said solemnly: "Remember, you must trust people, and your conduct and morality must be passed, before you can teach." ”

"We get it."

Wang Li and the others nodded.

They can understand and grasp how to grasp this standard.

A qi refining technique, in Bai Zhong's opinion, is not very powerful, nor is it very precious, it can be put into the Iron Eagle Ruishi to test the water, and if they get this permission, it should first spread in a small area in the Iron Eagle Ruishi.

I had thought about teaching Qi Alchemy to Ling Zhi and the others before, but when he returned to Xianyang, he was about to go on an expedition again, this battle was over, and the printing technique should be almost made, and when the time came, more than 20 copies would be printed and handed over to them to explore and cultivate.

Bai Zhong suddenly thought that there was still one person in this army who had not obtained the Qi Refining Technique, so he went directly to Li Xin and asked him to memorize the scroll.

"General, what is this?"

Li Xin asked incomprehensibly.

Bai Zhong explained: "A good thing, you memorize it and return it to me as soon as possible, and then try to cultivate, if you can't practice, don't force it." ”

Li Xin looked at the content on it, as if it was some kind of qi refining method, and quickly put it away and said gratefully: "Thank you general, it's just that I don't have any credit, and I can't help the general too much, I got the general's qi refining method for no reason, I deserve it, I ......"

Bai Zhong interrupted: "You memorize it first, if you can practice, you will have the opportunity to repay me later!" ”

"Good!"

Li Xin directly agreed to come down.

The general's great kindness, he must repay it.

Not only this kindness, but also the grace of promotion, if there is no Bai Zhong, he thinks that he does not have his current title and military position.

Bai Zhong said goodbye to Li Xin, inspected the barracks again, and then saw the military judge send the counted battle merits.

For the title below the doctor, he has the right to reward, and the above will record the name, publicize it for three days, make sure that there is no opinion, and the battle exploits are not missing, and then send it to Xianyang, and there will be a special person to arrange the reward.

After dealing with these things, Bai Zhong returned to his tent and was about to rest.

"One Qi Alchemy has allowed you to buy a lot of people's hearts."

Yingshu came over again at this time.

Bai Zhong smiled: "What does it mean to buy people's hearts? I'm here to improve their overall strength, and I haven't taken care of it, and you steal my longevity secret. ”

Ying Shu was surprised: "You know? ”

"I can sense the immortal true qi in you."

Bai Zhong really didn't care, and said, "It seems that the king trusts you very much. ”

Ying Shu said proudly: "Of course, I have the best relationship with my eldest brother." ”

Bai Zhong lay on the couch casually and said slowly, "What does the princess want to do to me when she walks into my tent at night?" ”

"Just wanted to see how many secrets you still hid."

Hearing this, Ying Shu also felt embarrassed, retreated to the entrance of the tent, and said, "You are not welcome, then I will leave." ”

She really left, and Bai Zhong didn't stay.

Walking all the way outside, Yingshu looked back at the tent, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and said to herself, "I'm getting more and more interested in you now." ”

——

A day later.

Xiang Liang had fled back to Chencheng.

Xiang Yan also came to Chencheng with 5,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Chu army did not have time to gather a large number of soldiers and horses to help, and there were only Xiang Yan for the time being.

There were still 28,000 guards in Chencheng.

There are more than 50,000 people in total, which is enough for Xiang Yan to block the Qin army.

"Awn, I'm defeated!"

Xiang Liang told the whole process, and said: "Qin General Bai Zhong can be famous in the past few years, it's not for nothing, this person is very special. ”

Xiang Yan didn't blame, and comforted: "The first time you led the army to fight, you can understand the defeat." ”

Xiang Liang said bitterly: "As far as I know, Bai Zhong is also the first time to be the main general, and the first time to lead the army alone, but I will not be discouraged, I lost this battle to him, and I will find my victory from him in the future." ”

"It's best if you think like that!"

Xiang Yan was pleased: "In the next battle, I will meet him for a while, and the next thing he wants to attack is Pingyu, I don't think I can abandon the city." ”

"If we divide our troops to defend in peace, it is good that we can win, but if we are defeated, our forces will be greatly weakened."

Xiang Liang thought that Pingyu could not be saved, and analyzed: "With the current morale of the Qin army, we have little hope of victory, and Pingyu's guards are less than 10,000 people. ”

Xiang Yan said: "If you don't give up peace, it is not the same as entering the city to defend it, you can also defend it outside the city, when the Qin army attacks the city, it will definitely put most of the main force into the battle of the city, if we attack outside the city at this time, what do you think of the result?" ”

Xiang Liang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Thank you Ah Weng for your advice, I want to be the vanguard of this battle." ”

Xiang Yan nodded and said: "In the east of Pingyu City, there is a valley, you first take 30,000 infantry as the vanguard, hurry quickly, ambush in the valley, and wait for the arrival of the Qin army, if the Qin army attacks the city, you can act according to the plan, if the Qin army is slow, don't take the initiative to show up, wait!" ”

"I see!"

Xiang Liang seemed to see that there was an opportunity to defeat Bai Zhong and regain his self-confidence.
