Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 30 Whoever stands in the way dies!

The old day passes and a new year arrives.

However, there is no New Year atmosphere in Piluo City. The city gate is closed tightly and it is as silent as a dead city.

The common people of Zhao State in the city looked at the Qin army patrolling the city with dull faces and eyes full of hatred and hatred.

The Qin soldiers on the city were still in a state of tension and alert. The army seemed to be on a tight rope, and the atmosphere was depressing.

The hasty withdrawal of the Chu, Zhao and Wei allied forces caused speculation among the entire Pilao Qin army.

Not only the ordinary soldiers, but also the generals at all levels above are constantly speculating.

"It must be that the cold weather in the north is no longer suitable for the army to continue fighting. Especially the soldiers of Chu, they simply cannot adapt to such cold weather."

"Could it be that the coalition's rear was attacked, so the army rushed back in a hurry?"

"Could it be that the Huns are taking advantage of the situation to rob us? The north of Zhao cannot resist it and is in urgent need of reinforcements."

"No matter what, since they have retreated, why don't we take advantage of the situation to pursue them and kill them without leaving a trace?"

However, Pillao City is still in a closed state of information at this moment, and there is no way to get the real news from the outside. Everyone can only make random guesses.

No one can be sure.

Even if there are words presented by the generals, they are still like stones sinking into the sea.

However, compared to these matters in the coalition military affairs, more soldiers are more concerned about where their army will go next.

Although the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms are retreating at the moment, there is no guarantee that they will fight again soon.

Defending the city of Pillao is not a long-term solution.

It is extremely difficult for an army of more than 20 to cross the Fen River.

The construction of the pontoon bridge must also be started while the weather is still completely cold and it is easy to start construction.

Otherwise, the army would be stationed in Pillao City one day, and it would still be in tension the next day.

The situation of the entire army made it difficult for everyone to relax.

At this time, Wang Hao had been in the county government hall in Piluo City, studying the map non-stop every day. Only a few lieutenants and generals such as Wang Ling and Sima Shang could see him.

People outside were panicked and the morale of the army was unstable. Many captains came to visit these people to convey the uneasiness in the army.

Wang Ling and others only offered lenient comfort and asked all the captains to calm down.

"General, the coalition forces have retreated for nearly two days. The morale of the army is currently unstable, and all the soldiers are eager to return to the land east of the river. It is too sensitive at this moment. Some of the captains have not received the general's military order, and they are all at a loss."

"The general does not leave his residence every day. The officers and soldiers in the army are worried and uneasy when they do not see the general. I have reassured the officers and men whether the general should go out of his residence for a tour."

Wang Ling stood on the left side and tried to persuade Wang Lu, who was immersed in the desk above him, with a look of exhaustion and bitterness on his face.

Wang Lu's reputation among the army is not a second thought.

However, Wang Hao was busy every day, and there was no sound from Wang Hao one after another. Many soldiers were suspicious, worried that Wang Hao was seriously injured and bedridden or died suddenly.

Originally, none of these situations would have occurred, but at this moment, the whole army was tense, and all kinds of problems were infinitely magnified.

"Don't worry. As long as I die, the morale of the army will not collapse." Wang Hao leaned on the desk and looked at the map in front of him. A gleam flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up and stretched his body backwards. Looking at the crowd he said:
"You can calm down the soldiers and rest for a night. At dawn tomorrow, the army will march out of the west of the city, cross the Fen River, and return to the east of the river!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the inner hall was shaken.

Wang Ling stood up fiercely, stepped forward and said: "General, are you really withdrawing at this time? The allied forces of Chu, Zhao and Wei may not have really withdrawn? They are probably secretly watching our army. "

As soon as these words came out, several generals around Sima Shang nodded in agreement, and they thought so in their hearts.

Wang Lu said with certainty: "It's not possible, but certain. They must be secretly waiting for the opportunity. The retreat of the army is also to lure us out of the city and prepare to fight back when we cross the river."

"Since the general understands, why do you still do this?" Wang Ling was anxious. Instead of being attacked halfway, it would be better to stick to the prison.

Wang Lu looked at the crowd with a serious look on his face and said, "I cannot waste the opportunity created by Yingjun. I must seize the time to cross the river."

"Wang Zijun?"

The generals were confused, Wang Ling frowned and said: "What the general means is that Wang Zijun is attacking the coalition's retreat from behind to buy us time."

Wang Hao nodded: "There is no one else except him at this moment. I gave him the right to be independent. I didn't expect him, Jiang Ran, to lead his men here."

Wang Ling immediately opened his mouth and continued: "Then wouldn't he be able to survive?"

How to live?
When Yingjun attacked the rear of the coalition forces, he knew without thinking that he was using a small group of cavalry.

If you want to return to Qin, this is the only way out.

But this road was blocked by nearly 20 Chu-Zhao coalition troops.

However, at this moment, their more than 20 troops have retreated. Even if Yingjun's small group of cavalry can escape, they cannot avoid the fate of being surrounded and annihilated. "Wang Zijun is sacrificing himself to buy us time and opportunities!!!"

When Wang Ling said these words, not only his own body trembled, but also other people in the hall trembled, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Wang Hao raised his eyes and looked outside the government office: "Wang Zijun has been silent for ten years, but this time he is going to make a big splash!"

The sound of muttering words weighs heavily on people's hearts...

at the same time.

To the west of Changping, more than a hundred miles to the south.

The cold wind in the middle of the night was whistling through the woods, with large swaths of dead leaves rustling, and the insect-eaten trunks and branches making a whining sound, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling. It made people's hearts tighten when they heard it, and they involuntarily tightened their clothes. Armor.

Fallen leaves fell on people's shoulders, feet, and even on the fire in front of them.

"Crackling."

Sparks splattered.

The flickering firelight illuminated the faces of the people sitting around with uncertainty.

A majestic-looking Zhao Jun general Zhao Li poked at the fire and spoke to Wei general Li Li and Chu general Han Yu.

"My general told me before leaving that once the news of the retreat of the army comes out, Yingjun will immediately retreat and wait in the dark, so we must speed up tomorrow."

He is a descendant of the royal family of the King of Zhao. He is quite brave and can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the army, which is quite prestigious.

So he was personally appointed as the general in command by Li Mu. The two men next to him were also men of similar strength, so they were sent to serve as deputies.

"Win Jun is nothing more than a bunch of clowns..." A fierce look flashed in Han Zhu's eyes, and he punched the degraded Chang Yue:

"I, the man from Chu State, beat him openly and openly, but he dares to show his face? So what if he hides in the dark and waits for an opportunity? I really can't find him. As long as I wait until Yingjun shows up, I will smash him to death with my ax... There is no hero in the world. That’s what made Shuzi famous!”

As he spoke, a horizontal scar on the right side of Han Zhuo's face twisted with his muscles, like a centipede coming to life, ugly and ferocious, adding five points of evil.

Next to him, Wei General Li Li frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "My Lord has told us to be very careful and force him back. Ying Jun is brave enough to be worthy of all men, and he also has strong generals under his command." On the side, the cavalry under my command are even more elite in the Qin army. Although we have [-] cavalry, we may not be able to annihilate them. If we are not careful, we may be taken advantage of by the opponent."

"That's because your Wei army is cowardly and is afraid of being beaten by him. As soon as we wait for the [-] chariots and cavalry army to come out, the opponent will be in panic. By then, if the [-] chariots and cavalry army surrounds you, you can't win even if you are riding a Pegasus. Run away from the army. Damn it, the fighting hasn’t even started yet, and you think you can’t beat me. Are you cowardly?”

Li Li suddenly stood up from the ground and glared at Han Ju across from him: "Nonsense! There are no people in the Wei Dynasty who are greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that since ancient times, military affairs have been carefully considered, and defeat has been considered before victory!"

Li Li and Han Li were about to quarrel. Zhao Li suddenly felt a big headache. Without the pressure from the top, the people below him suddenly had no restraint.

However, Zhao Li immediately stood up and walked between the two to separate them, comfort them and sit down. He even took the water bag from the soldier's hand and handed it to the two to calm down.

We haven't engaged in battle yet, so there must be no internal conflicts. Otherwise, mistakes may easily occur during the war, which may be exploited by the enemy.

At this time, a scout suddenly rushed over from outside, pointed outside and shouted: "General Qi, there is a fire. The fire in the direction of Changping is shining red in the night sky!!"

"What?" Zhao Li and the other three stood up from the ground in shock. The water bags dropped to the ground, splashing water.

However, the next moment the three of them didn't hesitate at all. They stumbled to the observation platform and looked in the direction of Changping, their eyes widening in vain.

The night sky a hundred miles away was now a deep red color.

"Yingjun must have received the news and set the Changping camp on fire, and then escaped."

"The army's food and fodder are still inside."

“Rush over immediately to save food and fodder!!”

The three of them said something to each other, and immediately rushed down from the high platform, issuing orders to their respective armies...

At the same time, dozens of miles away, scouts from the two sides were fighting fiercely, and the army led by Ying Jun had already made plans for the next battle.

The night was dark.

Ying Jun climbed onto the back of Wu Zhui's horse, and behind him, including Dian Wei, all the black tiger and leopard cavalry mounted their horses.

"Lord, the fire in the Changping Camp is soaring into the sky, and the army of chariots and cavalry returning to the rescue must have been alerted." Li Cunxiao came on horseback: "Perhaps the troops and horses have been organized and accelerated towards here at this time, which is the best time for us to annihilate them. opportunity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Wei laughed excitedly on horseback: "I, old Dianxin, have joined the lord's army. I am worried that nothing will come of it. I will go on a killing spree tonight to destroy the lord's chariots and ride on the army."

He had already met Bei Weijun, and he was extremely satisfied with Beiwei Army, and he immediately integrated into Beiwei Army.

At this moment, all he wanted to do was lead the Wei army on his back to kill the army of chariots and cavalry on the opposite side in order to repay Jun Jun for his kindness.

"It doesn't matter who comes next..." Yingjun looked at the night ahead like lightning. With a shake of the reins, the black horse began to run. The sound of the horse's hooves could not cover up the loud command:

"...Whoever stands in his way will die! Let's go!"

The night surges, and the silent land quietly moves.
