Not long after Chou Fu led his generals out of Gu County, the news of the 300,000-strong army's attack reached General Bi, who was rushing to Gu County, and Old General Wang Jian, who was in Lu County.
"Oh no!"
General Bi looked at the military report with an uneasy expression. Out of the 300,000 soldiers, they only had 70,000 in total.
Even though the ratio was only four to one, it was still a battlefield. With one arrow per person, the Zhao army had more than 200,000 arrows than the Qin army.
Moreover, their soldiers had just fought last night. If they saw so many Zhao soldiers, they would inevitably feel despair.
General Bi was considering whether he should retreat with his soldiers and regroup with Old General Wang Jian first.
.....
"Pass down my order, have General Bi lead the troops and retreat!!”
On the other side, Old General Wang Jian looked at the battle report and did not have any surprised expression. This was within his expectations.
However, the messenger was just about to leave. An even more anxious messenger ran in.
"General, the 20,000 cavalry of the Zhao army is already over ten miles away from Gu County.”
Pa ~!
Hearing this battle report, Old General Wang Jian stood up in shock and looked at the messenger with an incredulous expression.
"General, the 20,000 cavalry of the Zhao army is only ten li away from Gu County.”
The messenger repeated in panic. He was a veteran, so he naturally understood what this meant.
"Li Mu!"
Wang Jian slowly spat out two words under his ferocious expression.
..........
"All soldiers, speed up and move towards Gu County!!”
General Bi had also received the battle report from the 20,000 cavalrymen. How could he not know that something had happened?
The Zhao army was unexpectedly decisive. They simply sent out all the cavalry.
Was the Zhao army not worried about an ambush?
General Bi didn't know what the commander of the Zhao army was thinking, but he knew that the other party had made the right bet. The lives of him and the tens of thousands of soldiers beside him were already in danger.
There was no way to return to Lu County if they retreated. People could not outrun horses. Although infantry was not afraid of cavalry on the battlefield, they still had to rely on numbers.
20,000 cavalrymen were more than enough to slowly grind his 10,000 men to death.
The only hope now was to go to Gu County first. Lu County was more than 30 miles away from here. There was no way to go back.
"The commander of the Zhao army is amazing! This time, Great Qin's 10,000 soldiers were truly in danger.”
Sighing, General Bi could almost see his death.
This move was too ruthless. If they went back, they would die. If they went to Gu County, they could still live. But this was the amazing part. Surround the Qin army in Gu County and wait for the 300,000 troops to arrive.
Was General Wang Jian going to save him or not?
If you don't rescue him, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers will die of cold heart.
Even though Great Qin's reinforcements would arrive in the afternoon, they did not have the strength to resist 300,000 soldiers.
The most powerful thing was that he trapped tens of thousands of Qin soldiers in Gu County. The tens of thousands of Qin soldiers outside could only watch as they starved to death and were killed. This was killing their morale.
If the Zhao army hadn't been so decisive, if the Zhao army hadn't led 20,000 cavalry over, they wouldn't have been afraid of 500,000, let alone 300,000.
Yesterday, Old General Wang Jian's plan was to bypass Yu County. The rest of the counties were taken back to Houzhou and Luzhou. Today, when the reinforcements slowly came, the itinerary included besieging Xiayu County.
Even if 300,000 Zhao troops came, they would only return Gu and Lu counties and rely on the remaining counties to fight against the Zhao army.
This was a nibbling technique.
Before the war, he seized a county and killed 30,000 enemies. This was a great encouragement to Great Qin's army and the best response to the King of Qin's orders.
No matter how much he thought, he didn't expect the Zhao commander to be so decisive. He dared to bet most of the cavalry of Zhao Country on Gu County.
If he could see through Old General Wang Jian's plan, then it was truly terrifying.
"General! The captain asked the general to quickly meet up with General Wang Jian.”
General Bi's army of over 10,000 Qin soldiers had not walked for long when they suddenly saw over 1,000 Qin soldiers running towards them. One of the veterans came up to him and said.
"Ugly husband?"
Hearing this. As expected, the old general did not find any cavalry among the retreating soldiers.
A thought appeared in the old general's mind. His breathing slowly became rough. He looked in the direction of the State of Zhao. There was a blue sky there.
The face of the naked and wounded young man on the platform slowly appeared. General Bi's eyes slowly turned red. Finally, he roared towards the sky.
" This old man is ashamed!!!"
.......
In a farm. A group of women sat under the giant tree and chatted with each other. However, he saw a young girl wearing tattered clothes with her head lowered.
"Ji Zi!"
The women waved at Noriko.
Upon hearing this, Noriko raised her head slightly and glanced at them before slowly lowering her head.
"Come, come, come. Sit with your fourth parents-in-law.”
A skinny old granny with white hair and a hunchback slowly walked over.
"What a sin!"
The granny sighed and looked at the little girl.
Kiko shook her head. She didn't know how to answer her in-laws, so she could only lower her head and shake her head.
There were many coconuts placed on the table by the women under the big tree. The women chatted and laughed as they ate.
Nearby, Noriko had her head lowered. The woman had once asked her to eat fruits, but Noriko said that she didn't like eating wild fruits.
From time to time, the women would look at the helpless Noriko, laughing and saying that she was too shy. However, no one noticed that Noriko kept her head lowered as she glanced at everyone from time to time.
He swallowed his saliva carefully.
