Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 19 Xin Liang?Suffering from moss disease.

"Return home!"

Amid the deafening roar, the 25 Qin troops returned home like arrows.

When Wang Ling heard this, his body trembled.

However, he was unwilling to give up now. Wei Jun was defeated by Wang Zijun, and he saw an opportunity.

"General, it's not too late now!" Wang Ling clasped his fists and shouted eagerly: "The Wei army has been defeated. The combined forces of Chu and Zhao cannot surpass our army. There is still a chance. We can still win!"

Wang Ling stared at Wang Lu with his eyes, waiting for him to nod.

Upon hearing this, many Qin army generals and generals gathered around him.

"Yes, General."

"At this moment, the troops were sent down and the Chu army was directly defeated, and the crisis situation completely changed."

"Assemble Wang Zijun's troops and horses. Let's join forces and continue the battle against Handan."

"If we return without success, we will not be able to stand up in the future. General, please give it a try!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Qin army generals fell to their knees like a tide.

If they return to Qin, even if they have no fault, they will also have no merit.

Failure to do so makes them appear incompetent.

They are not as good as generals like Wang Lu, whose prestige and achievements are profound enough.

If the Qin army goes on a campaign again, their chance to go into battle will be at the back.

This is worse than killing them.

Might as well die in battle!
"I know you are anxious!" Wang Hao shook his head, and then said: "When the army returns, the manpower cannot be changed!"

The generals did not waver at all and still looked at Wang Lu with stubborn expressions.

Seeing this, Wang Hao sighed bitterly in his heart, and then said: "Even if the Wei army comes back to life, I am still not afraid! However, the soldiers no longer want to continue fighting."

"How is that possible?" Wang Ling subconsciously retorted.

However, Wang Hao suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his words, looked at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "You all think about yourselves, but have you ever thought about the soldiers?"

Ordinary Qin soldiers would not think of too many things.

They only focus on the present.

Earn military exploits, change your family's status, and make your loved ones live a better life.

However, after three years of fighting, the Qin army was always at the foot of Handan City and made almost no progress.

No gains.

No military exploits.

It does not bring any real gains to the family, but instead consumes the family's heritage.

The soldiers, both high and low, have been in torment and have reached the limit of their endurance.

This is what Wang Lu really meant when he said it was too late.

Wang Lu, who had been in the army for decades, knew it very well.

The Qin army is the tiger and wolf of the world.

If tigers and wolves are not fed well, they will turn against their owners.

At this moment, not to mention his king, not even Qin Wang Yingji's personal visit could change the Qin army's strong will to return home.

More importantly, even if they defeated the Wei army and the Chu army, they could not take Handan.

There is no Wei State, no Chu State, but there is still Qi State.

The more ferocious the Qin State is, the less likely the six countries will sit back and watch Zhao State perish.

These general trends have been clearly understood by Wang Lu for a long time. The Battle of Handan has been delayed for too long and has become a battlefield for the game between the Six Kingdoms and Qin.

Suddenly, bursts of majestic war songs sounded throughout the entire Qin army camp:
"Would it be Wuyi... in the same robe as Zi... Wang Yuxing's master... repairing my spear... and revenge with Zi..."

In the blink of an eye, the news spread throughout the Qin army camp, and the 25 troops roared together.

But "Undressed", which was originally impassioned, is now full of resentment and disappointment.

All the generals stood up in shock, their eyes widening.

Disappointed by what?
What are you angry about?
All the generals and commanders knew this in their hearts.

When Wang Ling heard this, his body trembled, and a bitter look suddenly appeared on his face. He lowered his head and said in shame, "It's too late. It's too late! It's all Ling's fault!!!"

When the other generals heard this, their faces gradually showed signs of disappointment, and they all fell silent. "The matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much." Wang Hao glanced at the generals and commanders, and then ordered: "Quickly break out of the camp and burn everything that cannot be taken away."

"The army arrived in Fencheng in the shortest time."

This time, there was no hesitation among the generals. They immediately accepted the order with clasped fists, then left the tent and returned to their own formation.

"promise!"

"Xin Liangcheng, just follow Yingjun." Wang Hao waved his hand casually, and Wang Ling immediately took the order and left.

He had previously planned to use Xinliang as fishing bait.

However, now that Xinliang's news has arrived, he cannot turn a blind eye.

Wang Hao simply handed over the decision-making power to Yingjun, and he devoted all his energy to the subsequent retreat.

Even though he seemed to be dismissive of Li Mu at the gate of Handan City just now, who dares to take it lightly when facing Li Mu...

at the same time.

On the city wall, Li Mu listened to the roar of the Qin army without clothes, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, Li Mu turned around and ordered the deputy general next to him: "Let all the chariots and cavalry in the city prepare for the expedition. At the same time, he ordered the cavalry from all counties to immediately assemble to Handan."

"No!" The deputy general immediately went down to make arrangements.

Li Mu, on the other hand, turned to Prime Minister Zhao Zhao Sheng beside him and said, "I will leave [-] troops, and Handan City will be handed over to the Prime Minister."

Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng immediately handed over his hand and said solemnly: "General, don't worry, I will definitely protect Handan without fail."

But Li Mu continued to explain: "Although Wang Lu's army has left, the Prime Minister still needs to be wary of Xinliang's army."

"Xinliang?" Zhao Sheng frowned and said in confusion: "Wang Lu's army has withdrawn, is Xinliang's army still preparing to continue attacking?"

"We must be on guard." Li Mu shook his head and said, "The Wei army was defeated too quickly. Under the arrogance of Xinliang's army, they may not retreat immediately. We need to prevent them from stealing the city."

Although Li Mu didn't know what Ying Jun was thinking, if he were the commander of Xinliang's army, he would never retreat easily.

Moreover, Li Mu had been in the army for a long time and knew the army better than people like Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng.

If the soldiers of the other six countries retreated without making any achievements, there would be absolutely no problem, and they might even feel happy in their hearts.

However, the people of Qin were happy when they heard about the war.

The Qin army from Hangu came all the way, and then returned to Qin before they had accomplished anything. The soldiers would never agree.

Such an enemy is terrifying.

At the same time, it is even more unreasonable.

However, Zhao Sheng didn't seem to take it to heart, and Li Mu couldn't speak directly due to his status.

Zhao Sheng was startled when he heard this, and then said: "General, don't worry, the general's army will not return for a day, Handan City will not open for a day, and the soldiers in the city will not disarm for a day."

After saying this, Zhao Sheng paused and then said: "Xinliang, you are suffering from moss disease! The general's thoughts are still focused on Wang Lu's army."

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded and looked back at the noisy Qin army outside...

And at the same time.

A hundred miles northwest of Handan City, two mountain ranges meet here, forming a natural defensive valley.

The cold wind howls and the fine sand rolls in.

At the mouth of the valley, a bright torch suddenly rose from outside the camp.

Immediately afterwards, more and more torches appeared, one after another outside the camp.

Under the illumination of countless firelights, a Wei army of more than 3 people was marching.

The leader was none other than Xinling Lord Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji looked back at the slowly advancing defeated soldiers, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

"Forget it, let's unite with the Chu army and defeat Wang Lu's army first."

He intends to unite the Chu army and march towards Xinliang, but at the moment he has few soldiers and horses, so Huang Xie may not follow his suggestion.

Moreover, during the march just now, Wei Wuji had already learned from the scouts that Wang Lu's army had broken camp overnight and was preparing to retreat.

Compared with Wang Lu's 25-strong army, Xinliang is no longer that important.

While he was thinking about it, a burst of shouting came from the front: "Who is it? Stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Wuji looked along the sound and saw countless torches rising instantly in the valley ahead.

A huge Chu army camp was gradually revealed...
