The wounded soldiers of the Bai Qijun were all sent back to Gaodu for treatment, and the wounded soldiers of Wang Qijun were sent to Duanshi. The Qin army on the front line of Shicheng had no logistics base and was in a state of no rear operation, so they could only set up field hospitals around the camp to treat the wounded. Although the Qin army also had many wounded, relatively speaking, the situation of the Qin army's wounded was much better, and the blow to morale was also smaller than that of the Zhao army.

Bai Qi spent the whole day in the battalions, urging the soldiers to build barracks. The Chu people's natural grasp of terrain and topography made him admire. Although they have different tactical habits, it is still clear at a glance whether they can win the battle once the formation swings. Therefore, in yesterday's battle, Bai Qi did not intervene more in the tactics of the Chu people, and almost admired the tactics of the Chu people in the posture of a bystander. Today, he also looks at the different camp treatments of each battalion with the eyes of a master.

The Chu and Qin people had an indescribable love and hatred, and mutual killings and mutual rescues occurred frequently in history; The royal families of both sides frequently got married, and they frequently used swords. Putting aside these grievances, the Chu people admire the strength of the Qin people, and being unyielding is actually a tribute to the powerful. Although he complained that he only ate fried millet for every meal, Hao Lai added more sugar than the Qin people. Moreover, from top to bottom, no one in the Qin people raised the fire to cook, and everyone ate fried millet from the beginning. So everyone can only accept fried millet. - Actually, when I first started eating, it was still quite fragrant, but I was not used to eating too much; I pulled hard a few times, suffered from abdominal pain, and knew that I couldn't eat more every time.

The reputation of Bai Qi's "human slaughter" has long been resounded all over the princes, and the people of Chu naturally know it. Returning to fight under the name of Bai Qi, the Chu people resisted a little and were also a little moved. After half a year of adapting to life, the Qin people's style of doing things according to the law and rewarding and punishing must be trusted has been affirmed by them, and they no longer have a lot of resistance to the Qin people. Yesterday's operation was carried out under this mentality. What was somewhat surprising was that Bai Qi did not interfere in their combat operations, nor did he reward and punish them afterwards, but directly pulled the troops who did not participate in the battle to the front line and set up camp on the face of the Zhao army. This complete contempt for the enemy army was very much in line with the temper of the Chu people and won the appreciation of the Chu people. They quickly got into the role, setting up fortifications and camps.

When the Chu people set up camps, they usually do not have "deep ditches and high bases", and this kind of camp is inconvenient for them to attack; Generally, the terrain is slightly modified to make them suitable for defense. This kind of operational thinking also made Bai Qi greatly appreciated.

When night fell, Bai Qi left the camp on the side of the mountain and returned to the camp on the side of the mountain. He first visited the camp of the Eastern Route Army. In yesterday's battle, although the Eastern Route Army entered the battlefield late, it fought very bravely; Moreover, the combat object was the former army of the Zhao army, which was defeated once, and belonged to the remnants of the new army, which took advantage of the battlefield and suffered relatively small losses. Of the 5,000 men attacked, only more than 1,000 were wounded, and less than 200 were seriously wounded, and none were killed on the spot, but some of the seriously wounded were likely to die. Bai Qi personally patrolled the battalions, visited the wounded soldiers, and said words of encouragement in Qin Yin, asking the officers around him to translate into Chu. When the soldiers heard that the old man in front of them was the famous Bai Qi, they were all excited, and tears flashed in their eyes. The others did not speak, and they all cast envious glances at the wounded soldiers.

The statistics of the exploits of the war also came out, and some of the soldiers were counted for their decapitation, but the officers were almost not rated as "Ying". The number of beheadings was too small to offset the number of casualties, especially among officers.

Bai Qi collected the merit paperwork, arranged the evacuation of the seriously wounded to Gaodu, and came to the camp of the Western Route Army.

The Western Route Army was the target of Zhao Kuo's key attack, and from the very beginning, the tactical spearhead was aimed at the Western Route Army. The Western Route Army fought bravely, and fought tenaciously under the attack of the two Zhao armies, creating better opportunities for the other two Qin armies, but suffered heavy losses. Almost all of the 5,000 people who attacked were wounded, thousands of people were seriously wounded, and more than 100 were killed, most of whom died by trampling.

The Western Route Army was the army in which Bai Qi personally served as the five doctors. If you count the records of the Western Route Army alone, they lose more than they gain. When Bai Qi arrived, the atmosphere in the camp was rather dreary, and everyone was still wrapped up in each other's wounds and talking to each other about yesterday's battle. Since they were all speaking Chu language, Bai Qi couldn't quite understand what they were saying. But Bai Qi went straight into the camp. The guards guarding the camp gate naturally knew Bai Qi and sang: "Five doctors!" The whole battalion knelt in unison.

Bai Qi walked to the center of the camp, took off the crown on his head, held it in his hand, waved it around, and asked, "There is a person who has a good Qin sound, left side?" ”

Immediately, many people opened their left plackets and raised their arms.

Bai Qi said: "You wait for me, but I say to my comrades: Yesterday's battle, fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of all the soldiers, the left and right armies, all won a lot!" Our army also has to get close to the Zhao camp, and the Zhao army wants to fight but can't get it, but it is tied! Wait for it! ”

The official doctor next to him knew the level of his soldiers, where could he understand such a complex language, so he could only translate in Chu: "The five doctors said, yesterday our army fought hard, defeated the enemy, and gained a lot!" At night, our army camped close to the Zhao army, and the Zhao army was not allowed to come out. This is all your power! ”

Bai Qi said again: "Hurt you and other warriors, suffer a heavy blow." Angelica Gaodu, carefully regulated. If you get a disciple and a son and help each other, the army will give half food! Those who have no children will eat twice! ”

The official doctor said: "If you are seriously injured, Angelica Gaodu will recuperate." If he takes his son, the army will give him half of the food; If there are no children, they will eat twice! Then the crowd rejoiced.

Someone immediately asked, "Can you get it if you are in the army?" ”

The official doctor asked Bai Qi in a low voice, and said in a loud voice: "If he wants to get half a meal, he can also!" ”

After chatting with the soldiers, Bai Qi went to the next battalion. Soon there was jubilation over there.

The arrival of Bai Qi reversed the dull atmosphere in the camp; Those who were seriously injured became the object of envy of everyone: they could take their children to leave the battlefield temporarily and go to Gaodu to recuperate. - Even if it's only half-eaten!

Although the Western Route Army suffered heavy losses, there were also soldiers who captured the enemy's first rank, and all of them were credited with merit. Bai Qi Xingye sent people to report the battle reports and merit documents of the two armies to the Xianyang Prime Minister's Mansion and distribute them to the county where the soldiers were located. When the army was ordered the next day, Bai Qi gathered the meritorious soldiers together and stood in front of the tent, and Bai Qi retreated to the tent and bowed deeply to them!

The cattle and horses of Gaodu arrived, dragging the wounded soldiers back to Gaodu. A wounded soldier was accompanied by a son, either a real soldier or just a friend, or a child who was also a false name. Those who left were actually wounded to a greater or lesser extent. The Western Route Army fought 5,000 people, more than 2,000 left, and the remaining half were also slightly injured to varying degrees, and had almost no combat effectiveness, so they could only do some things like standing guard and sentry. Bai Qi placed them on Jushan Mountain to serve as a guard for the whole army. That's for later.

Bai Qi's real purpose when he returned to the Gaodu military camp was to play the role of this army.

He had previously consulted with the five doctors on the East Road to gradually move forward tomorrow to the mountain opposite the foot of the South Mountain. Pose a threat to Zhao's granary and assist Li Bing in capturing the granary.

The army of Gaodu was 20,000 men, and 5,000 were camped in front; After deducting the wounded, there were about 10,000 people in the back, of which seventy percent were in the Eastern Route Army and thirty percent were in the Western Route Army. The strength of the Eastern Route Army remained intact and could independently undertake combat missions, but the Western Route Army was almost disabled, and there were still two or three thousand people left, and it was difficult for them to play their role independently. Bai Qi ordered two doctors to take turns arranging troops to attack and harass the Zhao army.

The small mountain bag where Bai Qi is located and the valley mouth where Wang Ji is located echo each other from afar, and they can be considered safe after they are connected. Only crossing this line will there be danger. Doctor Gong is full of answers, and promises to disturb Zhao Jun's peace! After arranging the affairs of the Western Route Army, Bai Qi entered the valley again and discussed with Wang Di. He has approached the gate of the Zhao army's camp, and it is difficult for the Zhao army to deploy troops again, even if Zhao Kuo is a trapped beast, he is tied hand and foot, and he is powerless to exert it. Wang Yi wants to take the initiative to attack the Zhao army's barriers, as long as he can break through one or two places, it will inevitably cause psychological panic, and the Zhao army will inevitably collapse.

After returning to the hill bag at the mouth of the valley, the waning moon has sunk in the west, and the east will be white.

On this night, both sides are arranging their troops, and the battles of Danzhuling, Nanshan, Danshui Fortress, and will be launched in various places at the same time.

The eastern sky is white, and drums are beating everywhere, announcing the arrival of a new day. The battalions began to make tedious routines, and countless envoys rushed between the battalions.

Although Bai Qi was appointed as a general, the commander-in-chief of all the troops in the Changping area, his position and position were kept secret, and the battalions did not come to report to him. The Qin army was divided into four parts: the Qin army at Gukou reported to Wang Di, the Qin army at Shicheng reported to Wang Ling, and the Gaodu army reported to the five doctors on the east road, and only the 5,000 Qin troops approaching Zhaobi went up the mountain to report to Bai Qi. After Zhao Kuo received this report, he thought that the troops approaching the front of the battalion were only led by a high-ranking public attendant, at most five doctors, and he could no longer report the situation of his army to his superiors. This gave him some confidence in today's raid.

When the smoke of the camps of the Zhao army was everywhere, the lookout reported that the Qin army at the eastern foot of Jushan sent sentinels to the north, and the Qin army at the western foot of Jushan also sent about three to five hundred people to the north, which seemed to be also sentinels.

Zhao Kuo took advantage of the fact that the porridge was not yet ripe, and personally climbed to the lookout to check. Sure enough, the two small forces of the Qin army came out of the camp and came north, with slightly fewer people in the east and more people in the west. Zhao Kuo couldn't guess where the Qin army was going, so he could only let the lookout continue to observe. He responded to all changes with the same and still attacked according to the original plan.

After breakfast, the lookout reported that the patrol posts of the Qin army appeared in the eastern part of Nanshan, as if to spy on our army. Zhao Kuo thought about it for a while, and asked the 10,000 people guarding the granary to send a force to drive the Qin army outpost away. The Qin army had about 100 sentinels. Ten thousand men were then sent to a battalion of 500 men. The banner of the Zhao army waved, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the wall gate opened, and a battalion of the Zhao army rushed out and went straight to the Qin army patrol on the mountain. Seeing that the Zhao army was outnumbered, Qin Jun turned around and retreated.
