Chapter 1703: I know I was wrong, I will dare to do it again next time

Chapter 1701: I know I was wrong, but I will dare to do it again next time

Although Han Xin wanted to capture Qin Hao directly, after all, the good opportunity had been missed, and it would be useless no matter how much he regretted it, so he could only put aside the Qin Hao issue first and carefully consider where the Yecheng defenders should go.

“More than 90% of the defensive facilities at the east and west gates were destroyed by Qin Hao.”

Han Xin's eyes were full of pain and he asked: "If we take out all the spare equipment in the treasury, how many vacancies can be filled?"

Although Yecheng was the territory of South Korea at the beginning, it was later occupied by Yuan Shao. Although Han Xin is now the nominal commander of the coalition, the ownership of Yecheng still belongs to Zhao.

When Han Xin asked about the treasury, Xun Kan, who was in charge of the treasury, stepped forward and replied: "The losses in the east and west gates this time are too great. Even if all the spare equipment in the treasury is taken out, it will not be enough to fill a city." There are loopholes in the defense of the gate, not to mention that both the east and west gates are in urgent need of defensive equipment."

Yuan Tan immediately became anxious when he heard this and said quickly: "If the destroyed equipment is renovated, can it be reused?"

Han Xin replied with a wry smile: "Even if the leader of the work family comes in person, he can't repair it."

Yuan Tan was stunned and asked: "How could it be?"

“It’s all burnt to ashes, how can we repair it?”

"this?"

Yuan Tan showed a clear look, and then said angrily: "The Qin army is really too cruel. It doesn't leave us a way to survive."

At night, although the defenders in the city repelled the Qin army's attack, the defensive equipment at the east and west gates were also completely destroyed. How could the defenders resist the Qin army's attack after dawn?

At this thought, everyone present fell into silence. Even a wise man like Tian Feng Jushu Xunkan could not think of a solution to the problem.

 This is an unsolvable problem!

After Han Xin pondered for a long time, a glint flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Yuan Tan and said thoughtfully: "I have a plan that may save the entire army, but the cost is too high. I wonder if King Zhao is willing to implement it?"

Yuan Tan's eyes suddenly brightened and he asked quickly: "King Han, please speak."

 “Abandon Yecheng.” Han Xin said solemnly.

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present except Tian Feng exclaimed.

 “Abandon Yecheng?”

Yuan Tan widened his eyes and shook his head subconsciously: "No, absolutely not."

With the two major defeats in Beihai and Julu, Zhao's land in western Hebei and Qingbei has basically been completely occupied by the Qin army. Now Yecheng is the only remaining territory of Zhao.

If the city of Ye, the third largest city in the world, is abandoned, then Zhao will no longer have any land in Hebei. Even if it retains its army, it will not be able to sustain it for long.

Yuan Tan is not a fool, and he can still see the pros and cons, so he decisively refused: "Ye City is the last territory of our Zhao Kingdom. Once it is abandoned, our Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed, so it is absolutely not allowed."

Not only was Yuan Tan opposed, but also most of the civil and military officials in Zhao State were opposed. Yuan Hong in particular glared at Han Xin. Only Tian Feng and Xun Kan frowned, looking thoughtful.

Han Xin seemed not surprised at all by the reaction of Zhao's monarchs and ministers. He shook his head and said: "The survival of Zhao does not depend on Ye City, but on you.

Even if Yecheng is lost, as long as you are still alive, Zhao will still be there.

But if you and others are gone, even if Yecheng is still there, Zhao will still fall. "

Hearing Han Xin's words, Yuan Tan looked thoughtful, but a trace of determination flashed in the eyes of Tian Feng and Xun Kan at the same time.

Tian Feng stood up and said: "My lord, the King of Han is right, abandon Yecheng.

If those of us in Yecheng are killed by the Qin army, then the State of Zhao will truly be destroyed. "

Xun Kan also stood up and said: "In addition, there are not many defensive supplies in Yecheng. Even if the defensive equipment at the east and west gates are not destroyed, we can only hold on for another month at most."

Yuan Tan still hesitated and asked, "Do we have to abandon Yecheng to survive?"

"King Zhao made a mistake. Even if he abandons Ye City, he may not be able to survive." Han Xin shook his head, and then continued: "But if we continue to defend Ye City, we will definitely lose sooner or later.

Ignoring the destruction of the city defense equipment for the moment, Su Dingfang can defeat Jixi in just half a month. When the 100,000 elite Qin troops return, we will face more than 300,000 Qin troops. "

With these words, all the Zhao generals who were making a fuss just now fell silent.

More than 300,000 Qin troops, what a huge number this is, how long can they hold on with just nearly 110,000 defenders?

"If we retreat now, we can still leave. If we wait for Su Dingfang to come back, it will be too late even if King Zhao wants to retreat." Han Xin said solemnly.

Hearing this, Yuan Tan's face became even more troubled. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "King Han, please let me think about it."

Seeing that he failed to convince Yuan Tan, Han Xinxin felt extremely helpless and sighed: "King Zhao, please hurry up. Time waits for no one. If you can't make up your mind within half a day, I will have to lead the army alone." Leaving Yecheng."

Of course Han Xin said this to force Yuan Tan. After all, even if he led the army to break out, without the help of the Zhao army and only the weak Han army, it would be a matter of time before he was annexed by the Qin army.

 Out of the 120,000 defenders in Ye City, the Zhao army accounted for 80,000, while the Han army only accounted for 40,000.

After the Qin army's night attack, the defenders suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Now there are still 75,000 Zhao troops and 35,000 Han troops left.

Although Han Xin still had 30,000 troops in northern Hebei, under the iron heel of the Qin army's hundreds of thousands of troops, this force was basically of little use.

Han Xin had to convince Yuan Tan to lead 80,000 Zhao troops to withdraw with him in order to continue to survive in northern Hebei.

Hearing what Han Xin said, Yuan Tan also realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded heavily and said: "I understand, and I will definitely give an answer to King Han within half a day."

　　————

Different from the gloominess of the coalition forces, the Qin army, which had won another great victory, was completely cheering. In the eyes of everyone, Yecheng was already in their possession.

"Wenyuan, I heard that your performance after you climbed to the tower was very eye-catching. Come and have a chat with the brothers." Xue Rengui said jokingly.

 “Yes, yes, tell the brothers.”

 Xu Huang took the lead, and all the generals started to boo.

Zhang Liao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Go away, everyone is here to see my joke.

 Just wait, see how I laugh at you next time you make a fool of yourself. "

"Ha ha…"

 Hearing this, all the generals burst into laughter.

"snort…"

Seeing this, Zhang Liao snorted coldly and turned his head to the side, ignoring these heartless guys.

At the same time, Qin Hao was also blocked by Bai Qi, Zhang Liang, Guo Jia and others, all of whom accused Qin Hao of not taking risks.

"My lord, you are no longer a teenager, how can you still be so impulsive?" Bai Qi said.

After being criticized repeatedly for half an hour, Qin Hao really didn't want to continue, so he could only take the initiative to admit his mistake: "This time it is indeed my fault. I know I was wrong, and I will definitely not do it next time."

Seeing Qin Hao taking the initiative to admit his mistake, Bai Qi, Zhang Liang and others looked at each other. After all, just by looking at their master's look, they knew that he would definitely dare to do it again next time.
