"Ordered my own soldiers to secretly kill five hundred horses as rations. To the outside world, it is said that the war horse is injured, and only two feet are left, and it is difficult to live. Hearing that Gao Pingguan was lost, Bai Qi still kept calm.

And the Duke of Qi on the side was directly panicked, and stammered: "Our army's grain and grass are all in Gaopingguan, how can this be good." ”

"Silence!" Bai Qi looked at Gong Qi angrily: "I wish the army was in turmoil!" Put out all the military rations that have been brought over today and put them in the highest place, put the grain bags on the outside, and pile dirt bags on the inside.

Cangguan Cao has to listen to the order, and everyone today has let go of eating, and don't restrict the supply. Tell them that today's grain convoy has brought a lot of grain and grass.

Yang Duanhe, you work hard, take a team of henchmen, push the empty cart and a few bags of grain to sneak out, find a secret place to fill the bags with soil. Remember, when you go back to the city, make a big fuss. You have to deliberately let that bag of grain fall to the ground so that the grain inside is exposed for everyone to see. ”

Seeing Bai Qi's reaction and arrangement in the face of the crisis, Duke Qi understood why Bai Qi was the first general of the Qin people.

But even so, it can't change the prospect that the Qin army's grain and grass will be burned and will be cut off.

"It is impossible to hide that Gaoping Pass was captured. Tell the three armies that more than 200,000 people in the Zhao army were killed by our army and formed a mortal enemy, and they will definitely not be taken prisoner this time. Now they have cut off the back road of our army, and if they want to survive, there is no other way but to fight hard.

At this time, Bai Qi only wanted to retain the living force of the Qin army to the greatest extent and retreat quickly.

Gao Ping Pass must be recaptured.

While he was arranging, his sergeant came to deliver the message again.

"Report, Zhao Jun shouted to our army, saying that those who surrender will not be killed, and they can live after cutting off the thumbs of both hands. Those who participated in the pit killing of Zhao Jun could also survive by cutting off their right hand. It's just that. ”

"Just what."

"It's just that there are more than one of our generals, and none of them will be left, and they will all be killed. and it was used to sacrifice their robes that were slain in the pit. The sergeant bowed his head and said.

In the tent of the commander of the Qin army, there was silence for a long time.

Except for Lei He, who was trampled to death by Li Yun after being burned into a vegetative state by Sima Shang, Bai Qi, Qi Gong, Wang Di, Zhang Tang and others here, one of them is counted as one, and they all belong to Zhao Jun's mouth to kill people.

Wang Jian was even a little glad that his military exploits had not been calculated, otherwise he would be on the must-kill list after he was promoted.

But he instantly put the thought behind him. What are you kidding, someone actually plans to kill all the high-ranking generals of the Qin army, this is something that has never happened in the six hundred years since the founding of the Great Qin State.

"Impossible, we killed so many of them, how could they let us go and tell the whole army that the Zhao people were lying to us." The Duke was the first to shout, hysterical.

He is brutal and murderous by nature, which does not mean that he is not afraid of death.

"This is Zhao Jun's plan to drive a wedge between our army. More than 200,000 people were killed in a pit, and it has long been an undying revenge. Meng Wu on the side also spoke.

"Yes, and there is Wei Jun behind them. Under the attack of us and the Wei army, they will not be able to support it sooner or later, and they will become the bag of our army. Yang Duanhe also looked excited, encouraging and cheering.

Bai Qi frowned, opened the battlefield, and slowly spoke: "Let's pay attention to the front first." We were all deceived by Zhao Kuo. The purpose of this inverted formation he laid out was not to make a pocket formation and eat our Chinese army. Rather, it is to drag our Chinese army and the wings.

At present, in order to turn back and attack Gaoping Pass, we must retreat. But as long as they retreat, the Chinese army will be stuck by the Chinese army of the Zhao army, and then their two flanks will also complete the encirclement and stop the Chinese army.

The current method is to first let the two wings of our army attack the two wings of the Zhao army again, so that they will not be able to encircle our Chinese army. I am not worried about the right-wing Wang Di, he is holding his breath to wash away his shame. Thunder River on the left flank was actually killed in battle. Gong Qi, now we need you to go in person, lead the left flank of our army, and we must repel the right flank of the Zhao army, otherwise our Chinese army will not be able to retreat. ”

"Wu Anjun, it's better to take this opportunity to advance directly from the Chinese army and eat Zhao Kuo's Chinese army." Gong Qi suggested.

Zhao Kuo cut off Zhao Jun's back road. The backwater is arrayed, and there is no advance or retreat. Today's Zhao people know that they will die if they surrender, and the back road is also broken, so everyone is desperate, and they have to pull the back if they die.

There are more than 200,000 of them, and if everyone is desperate, they will not be able to kill them in ten days and half a month. If our Chinese army goes deeper, in two days it will not be able to continue its grain and grass, and it will collapse on all fronts. At present, only by quickly attacking Gaoping Pass can you escape. Others thought about being reckless, but Bai Qi knew that even if recklessness succeeded, it would only be cheaper for Wei people.

Grain! Grain! Grain!

At the same time, the black smoke caused by the fire at Gaopingguan made the Zhao army here celebrate.

Zhao Kuo sat on the ground, while asking Sima Yue to disinfect and bandage the wound on his left calf again, grinning in pain, but a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

Li Mu, the last patron saint of Zhao in history, has completed the plan that is destined to be recorded in history today.

The reason why he put on such a flawed formation was out of his trust in Li Mu for 200%.

"I don't know how long the grain and grass of the Qin people can last. The march was in a hurry, and we only had more than a month of food and grass. Sima Yue finished bandaging and spoke.

At this time, they were not sure how much of the grain and grass burned there at Gaopingguan accounted for the inventory of the Qin people.

"Be prepared to kill the horses, and the right wing heard that a lot of war horses have been captured, let them kill them all, don't want to keep a few good ones. Horses will also compete with men for beans to eat. Having won this battle, there is no good horse to have. And those livestock, cattle and sheep who eat a lot of food, quickly killed. Zhao Kuo said.

If it weren't for the need for cavalry to transmit intelligence, reconnaissance, pursuit, and transportation, all the war horses of the Zhao army would have become military rations a long time ago.

Killing horses early will also reduce the consumption of grain and grass, but the degree of this is difficult to grasp.

"The fire on Hanwang Mountain is estimated to be extinguished in more than ten days." Cheng Zhao took his helmet and filled it with some corn and gave it to Zhao Kuo.

This is Zhao Kuo's explanation, he specially wants to eat in a place where the soldiers can see, and he has to eat the same as the soldiers.

Under the current conditions, there is no way for him to pretend to eat with his son outside, and then go back to the handsome tent to open a small stove.

But Zhao Kuo fought for a day and was very tired, and the corn was very sweet in his mouth.

Gai Nie, wearing heavy armor and holding an iron sword, stood beside Zhao Kuo, staring vigilantly at the surroundings.

He now considers himself Zhao Kuo's personal bodyguard.

"First borrowed the Tao from Qin Gou, and now he personally sent troops, the Wei people are really hateful." Sima Yue originally wanted to talk about Wei Dog, but when he saw Gai Nie there, he changed his words to Wei people.

"I think the Qin army should find a way to attack the two flanks of our army, so that their Chinese army can withdraw and attack Gaoping Pass. Or a direct decisive battle, attacking our Chinese army with all its might. The battle is like this, it is nothing more than gritting your teeth and persevering and holding on. Let's see if the Qin people can't support it first, or the Wei people kill us first. Zhao Kuo said.

"Report, the right flank of our army has run out of oil clay pots, and there are not many catapult shells left, Li Yun has asked Sima Shang to dismantle the four catapults as fortifications."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo stood up in pain, bowed in the direction of the right wing.

If he could, he wouldn't have agreed to such a drastic approach.
