Chapter 11: Retreat to the Great Deer



On the battlefield, the drums gradually disappeared, and at this time, the two army commanders immediately stood in front of their own formations, looking at each other, and they were silent.

Zhang Han's eyes narrowed slightly, with a slight smile, if it was against the Chu army, Zhang Han might have a trace of shock in his heart, but at this time, he was standing opposite him, but it was Chen Yu, the chief general of the Zhao army, this person had nothing outstanding, Zhang Han and he had several battles, all of which ended in victory, and now he Chen soldiers have 400,000 soldiers, and he is even more victorious, without any suspense,

At this time, Chen Yu seemed to be frozen, he didn't expect to meet Zhang Han here, he thought that it was just the vanguard of the Qin army arriving in Xindu, as long as he defeated the vanguard of the Qin army in a battle, he could poke his sharpness, and then with the Qin army Zhou Xuan, but at this time, he suddenly found that the army in front of him was actually the main force of the Qin army, and Chen Yu did have some drums in his heart.

But the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, Chen Yu knows that he has no way out.

After a short mental struggle, Chen Yule turned his horse's head, returned to the door flag, looked at the generals, and shouted: "Who dares to fight,"

A man rode out of the horse, holding a spear in his hand, and quickly rushed to the middle of the formation, Chen Yu looked intently, it was the captain under Zhang Xiao, at this time, Zhang Han saw that Chen Yu's faction was going to fight back, so he turned around and shouted: "Where is Su Jiao?"

Su Jiao rode out of the horse and went straight to Du Junyi to kill, the two went back and forth, the weapons intersected, sparks splashed, after a crisp sound, the two accompanied the war horse, and quickly separated, at this time, Su Jiao ran out of dozens of steps, immediately turned the horse's head, and then chased Du Junyi, but Du Junyi had already felt that Su Jiao wielded the spear very hard at this time, he was not Su Jiao's opponent, Nale Horse fled to the formation,

Su Jiao yelled: "The enemy general will leave,"

But Du Junyi ignored Su Jiao, until he ran out of a hundred steps away, Du Junyi suddenly took out a dart from his arms, turned around and struggled, and the dart went straight to Su Jiao's door, Su Jiao's eyes were fast, and he stopped the war horse, the war horse raised its front hooves, neighed, the dart was impartial, and stabbed the war horse in the abdomen, and then, Su Jiao fell to the ground with the war horse,

But Su Jiao quickly turned over, picked up the fallen spear, and stood upright, at this time, Du Junyi also reined in the horse and returned, and then fought Su Jiao, brandished the spear, and stabbed Su Jiao's throat, but Su Jiao was skilled, waved the long hair, separated Du Junyi's blow, and then hit the front hooves of the war horse with the spear shaft, and the war horse flew out. The two sides were fighting in full swing, and in the Zhao army's formation, Zhang Wei saw that Du Junyi was not Su Jiao's opponent, so he shouted: "Hugh hurt my favorite general, Zhang Wei is also here,"

Zhang Wei reined in his horse and went straight to Su Jiao to kill, Su Jiao had been separated by Du Junyi at this time, and he planned to fight Du Junyi again, but Zhang Wei's participation in the battle disrupted Su Jiao's plan, he immediately abandoned the spear, turned around and ran towards the Qin army.

A group of white war horses galloped over, Su Jiao's eyes were fast, grabbed the reins, turned over, at this time, he took off the halberd from the hook of the war horse, took a closer look, it was a weapon in the room, turned around and arched his hand to the room, expressed his gratitude, and the horse was killed by Zhang Xiao,

Du Junyi took advantage of the gap and ran back to the formation, but Zhang Wei refused to give up Su Jiao, brandished a spear, and chased after Su Jiao, but he didn't want to, a white horse ran out of the Qin army, Su Jiao had already got on the horse at this time, Zhang Wei took advantage of the situation and raised his spear, wanting to block, but Su Jiao did not attack, but passed by, rushed forward, Zhang Wei was slightly surprised, turned around and looked, Su Jiao had caught up with Du Junyi at this time, a halberd stabbed away, Du Junyi screamed, was provoked by Su Jiao, and raised in mid-air,

There was a shout in the Qin army, the drums were loud, and the military trumpets sounded in unison, and the Zhao army, many people regretted that Du Junyi was only a hundred steps away from running back to the Zhao army, but he was pursued by Su Jiao and died on the battlefield.

At this time, Zhang Wei roared, waved his spear, and fought Su Jiao again, Su Jiao also shook his spirit, and ran to Zhang Wei to kill, the sound of weapons colliding rose and fell, the two intersected with each other, and the war was extremely fierce.

After about fifty battles, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhang Han set up his eyes under the banner of the door, looked at the Zhao army's formation, and saw that the Zhao army soldiers were slightly tired, all of them were in low spirits, and their morale was low, he couldn't help but look at Sima Xin, and laughed: "The Zhao army can be broken,"

At this time, Zhang Han drew his long sword and swung it forward, the Qin army rushed forward like a big wave, the soldiers were excited, their morale was high, the drums were loud, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Wei and Su Jiao were swallowed up like a wave.

On the other side, Chen Yu looked at it in his eyes, he didn't expect that the Qin army would suddenly kill, at this time the morale of the Qin army was booming, Chen Yu had to rush to the battle, and then drew his long sword, turned around and shouted: "The Qin army has entered, not a single grass is grown, soldiers, for the sake of your family, for your wives and children not to be trampled on by the Qin army, follow me to kill,"

The drums in the Zhao army shook loudly, and the soldiers of the Zhao army followed Chen Yu and headed towards the Qin army.

The bow and crossbow exploded at this moment, and thousands of feathered arrows flew into the air, and fell into the formations of the two armies, killing and wounding countless people.

Whether it is the Qin army or the Zhao army, as long as they encounter people, they will suddenly slash and chop, and the battlefield is very chaotic.

There were about five hours, it was already dark, there were corpses all over the ground, blood flowed into the distance like a stream, the soldiers on both sides had reached the limit, no one could pounce on anyone anymore, and the Zhao army at this time suffered heavy casualties, even Chen Yu was also hit by a sword, but he still fought the side, several soldiers supported the injured Zhang Xiao, and hurriedly left the battlefield,

The war did not stop because of the heavy casualties, the Qin army continued to increase the intensity of the attack, but the Zhao army, but the Qin army, was suppressed by the Qin army, retreating step by step, and it seemed that it was about to be unable to resist, at this time, from a distance, a chaotic drum sounded, and a low horn sounded: "Woo...... Woo......"

Immediately after, there was a shout like a landslide and tsunami, which could be faintly heard, the galloping sound of thousands of horses, and I don't know who shouted: "The reinforcements of the Qin army are coming, run,"

It was this voice that the Zhao army completely retreated, and even Chen Yu lost the courage to fight to the death, and together with his personal guards, he rode his horse and fled from the battlefield.

Wang Li's 100,000-strong army had just arrived, and their participation in the battle completely crushed the defenses of the Zhao army, and the battlefield turned into a one-sided massacre.

At this time, Zhang Han had just run out of the battlefield, he stopped on the high post, Sima Xin, Dong Yi followed closely, looking at the retreating Zhao army in the distance, Zhang Han showed a disdainful smile, at this time, Wang Li's voice sounded beside him: "The last general has seen the general,"

Zhang Han was interrupted by Wang Li's voice, he looked intently, it was Wang Li, and couldn't help laughing: "General Wang came just in time, if it weren't for your joining, I'm afraid Zhao Jun wouldn't have retreated so easily,"

"The general praised falsely," Wang Li said modestly, at this time, Zhang Han stared into the distance again, the direction of the retreat of the Zhao army, although the sky was already dark, but the battlefield was full of torches and blazing fires, you could vaguely see the road ahead, after a short thought, Zhang Han ordered: "Order, rest on the spot for the night, tomorrow morning, enter the army Xindu,"

,,,,,,

At this time, it was the third watch, and the sky was just about to turn white, and suddenly, a rapid golden drum sounded in Xindu City, and even near the mansion where Zhao Xie lived at this time, the alarm bell also sounded,

A group of cavalry walked through the streets, holding tokens in their hands, and shouted: "Emergency military report, bystanders dodge,"

Soon, the cavalry rushed to the front of Zhao Xie's mansion, and the first commander turned over and dismounted, and said to the guards guarding the door of the mansion: "Emergency military report, go and inform the king,"

Seeing that the military situation was urgent, he didn't dare to delay, he gave up his hand and hurriedly entered, about half a cup of tea, the guard rushed out, "The king is invited,"

Zhao Wanggong, several important ministers hurried over, the battle report just sent back made Zhao Xie sit still, 50,000 elites, only one station, more than half of the dead and wounded, Chen Yu returned defeated, and soon he was able to rush back to Xindu, how to resist the Qin army has become a top priority,

Everyone was very anxious after learning of Chen Yu's defeat, can the little Xindu resist the 400,000 army of the Qin army?

The answer is very affirmative, it is still possible to resist for a short time, but for a long stalemate, the faith will be broken!

Zhao Xie was still wandering anxiously, and everyone was also extremely worried, at this time, Zhang Er sighed and said hurriedly: "King, right now, you can only retreat,"

"What is the second thing to retreat," Zhao Xie was slightly surprised, Zhang Er took the map from the hands of the guards, unfolded it on the imperial case, and said in a deep voice: "Great King, the city of Xindu is small, not enough to resist the Qin army for a long time, I suggest, we withdraw our troops to Julu, establish a solid defense in Julu, and stalemate with the Qin army, we can still survive, otherwise we ......"

Zhang Er's eyes showed a look of disappointment, Zhao Xie understood what Zhang Er meant, if he couldn't resist the Qin army, the Zhao State would perish.

Can you retreat to the giant deer, can you really resist the Qin army, if the giant deer is no longer protected, where should you retreat?

At this time, Zhao Xie set his eyes on Kui Che and Shen Yang, hoping that the two of them could give themselves a little opinion, both of them were bowing their heads and pondering at this time, and soon, Kui Che looked up at Zhao Xie and nodded slightly, he agreed with Zhang Er's opinion, it is much better to retreat to the giant deer than to keep his word,

And Shen Yang also pondered for a moment, then arched his hand and said: "King, Zhao Guo's own strength alone is not enough to keep the giant deer, I suggest, beg for help from all countries, their lips are cold, they will not die without help,"

"Other countries are easy to say, but the widows are worried about the Chu State, they just suffered a big defeat last year, and they also lost a large general, at this time the widows asked them for help, will they agree," Zhao Xie hesitated slightly, and said his worries, at this time, Shen Yang arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the king, I am willing to go in person, and I will definitely say that the Chu State will come to help,"

Seeing what Shen Yang said, Zhao Xie sighed helplessly: "It's all about this,"

After Zhao Xie made a decision, in the city of Xindu, all kinds of soldiers and horses gathered and retreated outside the city, the destination was directly towards the giant deer, and at the same time, a team of 3,000 people escorted Zhao Xie's Luanyu and left Xindu in a hurry.

There were about 30,000 civilians, hurriedly packed their belongings, followed the Zhao army, and withdrew to Julu,

When the Zhao army arrived in Julu, it was already afternoon, and at this time, in Julu City, he temporarily recruited people, destroyed houses, prepared to roll wood and thunder stones, and swore to fight to the death.

The city was fortified with defenses, and the Zhao army, a team of 100 people, patrolled back and forth in the city, searching for spies.

At this moment, a shadow seemed to be cast in Julu City, and the atmosphere of death gradually permeated every corner of Julu City.

Night is approaching, Chen Yu gathered the defeated army, and from the nearby county, transferred troops, gathered nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, came to the city of Julu, at this time, Zhao Xie's order has been issued, let Chen Yu Tun soldiers north of Julu, form a horn trend, resist the Qin army, after receiving the will, Chen Yu Nai led the crowd to the north,

The Qin army also followed Chen Yu and came to Julu, they did not rush to attack the city, but went down to the village in the area of Thorn Plain, Dazhai stretched for hundreds of miles, nearly a thousand people hurried to the mountains and forests, cut down trees, prepared ladders and other things, and prepared to launch the first round of attacks on Julu,
