Chapter 168: The Qin Army Retreated?

As soon as the gap was opened, the two armies rushed together.

The scope of influence of the battle intent is getting bigger and bigger, and the people who follow Bai Zhong's side quickly kill red eyes.

The other lieutenant generals were still commanding in the rear, and Bai Zhong had already led his troops into the Wei army, and there were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground in an instant.

"Keep up with General Bai!"

Several lieutenants and generals hurriedly gave orders.

The other Qin soldiers saw that their general was so brave, and they were all full of fighting spirit and fought behind the general.

At first, the Wei army was also very fierce, but after Bai Zhong entered it, it was not long before it collapsed and hurriedly retreated, because Bai Zhong was so terrible that he was splashed with blood at this time, like a bloodthirsty devil.

The Wei soldiers all wanted to dodge Bai Zhong's blade, but if they could avoid Bai Zhong, they couldn't avoid the slaughter of other Qin soldiers.

For the sake of military exploits and titles, the fierceness of the soldiers of the Qin army was not much worse than that of Bai Zhong.

The rear of the Wei army.

"Kill it!"

Geng Wu had already circled the enemy's rear army, led the cavalry on a rampage, and continued to plunder with cavalry shooting.

The Wei army had to deal with it back and forth, and the Wei generals were caught off guard.

This group of smuggled Wei soldiers no longer wanted to fight, only wanted to escape.

Bai Zhong could not give them a chance to escape, so he ordered them all to be killed, and none of them could be left.

As the last Wei soldier fell, countless corpses were already lying on the ground.

Almost 100,000 enemies were wiped out by their 70,000 people, and of course the Qin army also lost thousands of people and wounded more than 20,000 people, and was taken down by doctors for treatment.

"Destroy all the pontoon bridges smuggled by the Wei army!"

Bai Zhong saw the pontoon bridge not far upstream, and ordered: "Arrange for someone to monitor the nearby river bank to prevent this kind of thing from happening again." ”

"Gengwu, you go back first and help Meng Tian defend the shore."

He saw that Geng Wu had led the cavalry back, and ordered again.

"Yui!"

Geng Wudao.

Shore.

Meng Tian, Wang Li, as well as Li Xin and Zhang Han, respectively, led their subordinates to occupy an absolutely advantageous position, and resisted the Wei soldiers who were about to cross the river on the bank.

With the addition of the Iron Eagle Warriors, the fate of the enemies who crossed the river was even more miserable.

They were either killed or before they landed, they were thrown into the Yellow River, where they were swept away.

Although the Yellow River is in a dry season, the current is still quite strong.

The fight here soon came to an end.

As soon as they cleaned up the battle situation, Bai Zhong came back with his troops, and counted the situation of the war, and the total number of enemies killed was almost 150,000.

There were still 250,000 enemies left, who remained on the opposite bank and waited for the next crossing.

The Wei soldiers, who had crossed the river halfway through, were ordered to retreat and immediately retreated.

"The Wei army still has 250,000 people, and if you want to kill them all, the best thing to do is to let them cross the river and gather together."

"But if the enemy crosses the river, there are as many as 250,000 people, and they may not be able to win."

"If you really let the enemy cross the river, how can you fight on land?"

Bai Zhong has been thinking about various strategies in his heart.

Then he took out a map and looked at the mountainous terrain south of the Yellow River, studying where and by what methods he could eliminate this group of Wei troops.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Zhong found a general and asked, "Do you know where there is animal fat, that is, lard and the like, even if it is tung oil?" ”

Wang Ben attacked with water near Daliang City, and he thought that he could attack with fire, but only if he found something that could ignite and ignite fire.

"I'll have someone look for it."

General said.

Bai Zhong advised: "The more the merrier." ”

After these arrangements, Bai Zhong went back to the tent and wrote a letter for people to send to Yang Duanhe on the other side, so that he could let go of the containment of the Wei army, and even retreat directly back to Handan, as long as the tung oil and other things were in hand, the Wei army could be allowed to cross the river.

In the next few days, the Wei army did not move, and did not attack again.

However, the grease, tung oil and other things that Bai Zhong needed have been recovered.

The general led his troops to a nearby city, and used his identity to loot a large number of these things, a total of more than a dozen cities, before collecting more than 200 barrels of these oils, all of which were transported to the army at this time.

Zhang Han asked curiously: "What is the use of the general asking for these things?" ”

"For arson!"

Bai Zhong said again: "Withdraw all defenses, the river bank no longer needs to be defended, and there is no need to blockade it, all obey our military orders, enter the nearby mountains and hide." ”

General Pi worried: "The enemy still has 250,000 main forces, if they are allowed to cross the river smoothly, they will definitely go to the rescue of Daliang, and our retreat will bring trouble to General Wang." ”

"Don't worry, I have arrangements, they won't make much trouble, the whole army is ready to retreat."

Bai Zhong's order was very decisive, and he did not give them a chance to explain again.

An hour passed.

The Qin army all pulled out camp, packed up their baggage, withdrew from the riverbank, and all defensive measures were abandoned.

——

The general of the Wei army on the north bank of the Yellow River was called Pang Quan.

In the afternoon, he looked over from the north bank to the south bank, and was about to discuss how to cross the river again, when he unexpectedly found that the Qin army seemed to be retreating.

In the evening.

The scout finally returned, and truthfully said that the Qin army had really all retreated, and all defensive measures had been abandoned, as if they had given up defending on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Impossible!"

Pang Quan didn't believe that the Qin army would retreat, and thought for a long time and said: "It must be the Qin army's plan to lure the enemy into the depths, arrange a few more people to investigate, I want to know what the Qin army is doing." ”

As a result, hundreds of scouts crossed the river overnight, constantly investigating the movements of the Qin army.

The next day at noon.

The scouts sent out all returned, and they all said that they could not even see the shadow of the Qin army, and did not see any problems, and according to various indications, the Qin army had retreated completely, leaving nothing.

Pang Quan had a headache and said, "How can this be?" ”

The Qin army has always had the upper hand, and in the last battle, the Wei army forcibly crossed the river, and was killed by the Qin army 150,000 people.

As long as they continue to hold the Yellow River and delay until the city of Daliang is broken, they will be completely cornered.

Normally, it is impossible for the Qin army to retreat at this time.

"Could it be that something happened to the rear of the Qin army and they had to withdraw all?"

A general beside him said.

Pang Quan pondered, thinking that there was a possibility.

However, at this time, another scout came back and said: "General, Yang Duanhe in the north has also withdrawn, and the army has all returned to Handan and walked away." ”

Not only did Bai Zhong retreat, but now even Yang Duanhe also retreated.

This is problematic.

"Maybe something really happened inside the Qin army."

Pang Quan felt that there was such a possibility, and said: "Continue to send people across the river to investigate." ”

Although he really wanted to kill back, he didn't dare to be careless, didn't find out, and didn't dare to cross the river rashly.
