With the flanking attack of Wang Jian and Meng Fu, and the fact that Meng Wu personally led tens of thousands of iron cavalry to attack the middle army of the Zhao and Chu coalition army, even if Pang Xuan commanded all the elites of Zhao and Chu, he felt more and more tricky.

The situation is crisis, but not unsolvable.

The left flank composed of 60,000 county soldiers under Wang Jian is the weak point!

As long as the 60,000 county soldiers are defeated, the morale of the army under Wang Jian will plummet, and the situation can be reversed.

Wang Qian's left flank corresponded to the right flank of the Zhao and Chu coalition forces, while the right flank of the coalition army was the 30,000 Shadow Tiger Legion and the 20,000 Zhao State Heavy Armor Legion.

Although the military situation of the Thunder Leopard Legion on the left flank of the coalition army was already very critical, Pang Xuan believed that these county soldiers would only be defeated one step ahead of the Thunder Leopard Legion, and as long as they broke through the left flank of the Qin army, he could ......

Pang Xuan, who was on the troop car, stared at the right flank of the coalition army with burning eyes, but found that the Zhao State Heavy Armor Army led by Zhao Cong suddenly began to retreat.

Pang Xuan was instantly furious and roared, "What's the matter? What is Zhao Cong doing! ”

Not only Pang Xuan, but Ji Heng, the chief general of the Shadow Tiger Legion, was also furious.

The Shadow Tiger Legion is mainly cavalry and is not good at positional warfare, and the right flank of the coalition army has always been garrisoned by Zhao's heavy armored legions, while the Shadow Tiger Legion uses mobility to constantly guerrilla, so that the county soldiers composed of light infantry cannot cope at all.

Seeing that the left flank of the Qin army was about to be defeated, Ji Heng gathered the Shadow Tiger Legion and prepared to launch a wave of all-army charges to give the final blow to the left flank of the Qin army, but he didn't want his back road to be suddenly cut off.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the heavy armor army of Zhao State was retreating!

"Why!"

Ji Heng looked angrily at the Zhao State Heavy Armor Legion that was slowly retreating, and roared angrily, but Zhao Cong didn't pay attention to it, but ordered the Heavy Armor Legion to cover each other and retreat, and even the 30,000 Zhao State Heavy Armor Legion with Pang Xuan's Chinese army also began to retreat.

When Pang Xuan angrily caught up with the three captains of the Heavy Armored Corps who had withdrawn from the battlefield from the Chinese army, and angrily asked them why they had escaped, the three captains also looked helpless.

A moment ago, Zhao Cong's cronies brought Zhao Wangyan's warrant and ordered them to withdraw immediately, retreat to Hedong while the Qin army had not completely encircled, and allow them to throw the heavy armor on their bodies and the iron shields in their hands if necessary.

Pang Xuan was stunned, at this moment he finally understood why Zhao Wangyan wanted to arrange two lieutenant generals for him for the first time, in the name of saying that he was old enough to share military affairs for him, it turned out to be this plan!

If the coalition army has a chance of winning, it will be stopped, if it falls into the disadvantage, Zhao Cong will lead the Zhao army to retreat as soon as possible, and the Daidi army under his command will become the abandoned son of the queen of the Zhao army!

"The rout of the left flank of the Qin army is imminent, and it only takes one charge to defeat it! Don't you know that 'the king's life will be affected by the king's life abroad'! ”

Pang Xuan is still unwilling, as long as this 30,000-strong Zhao army goes to the right flank of the coalition army, the situation can still be saved!

Even if he couldn't repel the Qin army, he was able to ensure the smooth retreat of the coalition army.

It's just that Pang Xuan's words of "will not be subject to the life of the monarch outside" attracted the sneers of the three captains.

"Not subject to the king's orders? So after this battle, is the general still ready to return home? ”

Pang Xuan is a Wei person, and he has lived in Daidi and Chu for a long time, there are too many places to choose, and their roots are in Zhao State, and there is only one choice in Zhao State. They understood that they could not withdraw their troops, but even if they won, they would be hated by King Zhao.

It is better to be defeated and not guilty than to be condemned.

"General, take your leave."

After that, the three lieutenants did not repeat it, and the horses caught up with the large army and retreated together.

With the retreat of the Zhao army, the situation on the battlefield also changed dramatically.

50,000 people was inconspicuous in this 600,000-strong battle, but there were only 200,000 Zhao and Chu allied troops, and 50,000 Zhao troops accounted for a quarter of them.

Moreover, the withdrawal of the Zhao army made the Shadow Tiger Legion, which had the upper hand on the right flank of the coalition army, instantly fall into the encirclement of the Qin army, and Wang Jian immediately mobilized the Lishan battalion of the Chinese army to encircle and suppress the Shadow Tiger Legion.

Although the Shadow Tiger Legion is a cavalry, it is a light horseman, each with only one light leather armor, and is better at guerrilla attacks than frontal combat, and is known for its erratic and elusive whereabouts.

Originally, there was a heavy armor army of Zhao State stationed, they were on the side, and they complemented each other well, but without the cover of the heavy armor corps, the surrounded Shadow Tiger Legion faced the black armored iron army of the Lishan battalion with a big shield and heavy armor, as light cavalry, they couldn't rush up in this narrow encirclement at all, and they couldn't give full play to the impact and mobility of the cavalry, and it was even more hopeless to break through.

In less than half an hour, most of the 30,000 Shadow Tiger Legion was annihilated, and even Ji Heng, the chief general of the Shadow Tiger Legion, hated the battlefield.

And seeing the fall of the Shadow Tiger Legion, the other two elite legions of the Chu State could no longer hold it back.

Xiang Yan didn't know why the Zhao army would suddenly withdraw his troops, but he knew that if he didn't withdraw at this moment, the family background of the Chu State would be fully explained here, so he immediately ordered the main general of the Thunder Leopard Legion to withdraw from the battlefield together.

The commander of the Thunder Leopard Legion saw that the general situation was gone, so he had to break his wrist, give up the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command who were surrounded, and withdraw from the battlefield with the Tenglong Legion, leaving Zhao Bianqi and Pang Xuan on the battlefield in vain.

Pang Xuan roared hoarsely, but he couldn't change the situation on the battlefield, and finally the army was defeated and captured, 50,000 Zhao Bianqi were beheaded 30,000, more than 8,000 people were captured, and only more than 1,000 people escaped from the battlefield.

The Zhao army and the Chu army that escaped were not able to completely get rid of the pursuit of the Qin army, and Meng Wu continued to lead the iron cavalry to pursue after capturing Pang Xuan, and happened to be flanked by the Yan army that had defected to the Yan army.

The Thunder Leopard Legion was mostly annihilated, and the Tenglong Legion used its own cavalry advantage, coupled with Yan Chunjun and Yan Dan's reluctance to fight to the death with the Chu army, and allowed the Tenglong Legion, which only had more than 20,000 people left under Xiang Yan's command, to break through, and the main general of the Thunder Leopard Legion died in battle, leaving less than 10,000 people to break through.

On the contrary, because the heavy armor army of Zhao State was the first to break away from the battlefield, it left behind the heavy armor and large shield, and under the deliberate laissez-faire of the Qin army, it easily broke through from one side, and withdrew to Hedong with only a loss of thousands of men.

Nearly half of the 200,000 elite Zhao Chu were annihilated, and the news of the capture of the coalition commander Pang Xuan spread all over the world under the intentional propaganda of Luo Wang.

Although some people questioned the authenticity of the news, Pang Xuan's armor and handsome banners, as well as the main generals and banners of the Shadow Tiger Legion and the Thunder Leopard Legion, were all displayed, and they couldn't help but believe it.

The morale of the coalition forces has been greatly damaged, and the commanders of various countries have already ordered their soldiers to prepare to withdraw their troops.

In the camp of the Chu army, Chun Shenjun listened to Xiang Yan's report on the battle losses of the Chu army with a pale face, and his heart was like a knife.

The Shadow Tiger Legion was annihilated, the Thunder Leopard Legion was completely destroyed, and there were less than 10,000 people left, and even the Tenglong Legion suffered more than half of the casualties.

Chun Shenjun had almost imagined what kind of attack he would be subjected to when he returned to China, and those nobles would definitely fall into the ground, and even if he didn't die, he would inevitably have to shed a layer of skin.

However, the Qin army did not intend to give Chun Shenjun, the head of the coalition army, any time to be depressed, and the Qin army pounced on the coalition army outside Hangu Pass like a tiger and wolf. Almost all the Qin army was dispatched, and even Ying Zheng took the Yulin army to the battlefield, and under the protection of a group of Lang officials and Yulin Wei generals, he personally killed several non-commissioned officers of the coalition army.

And with the battle of attacking Qin on this occasion ending with the great victory of Qin, the princes of Shandong knew that Qin's hegemony could no longer be stopped.
