On the south bank of the Yellow River, the Qin soldiers ran back in fear.
The Black Bird Flag was still fluttering in the wind, but it was now stained with the blood of the Qin people.
Meng Ao drove his warhorse and looked behind him with his grandson Meng Tian. Smoke and dust rose into the sky. The alliance army was still in pursuit.
"Where are Zhao Mu and General Wang He?”
Meng Ao frowned.
"With their journey, they will need at least two days," said Meng Tian.”
After all, it was an army of tens of thousands, not three to five thousand troops that could gallop all the way.
Moreover, even if three to five thousand troops were to reach Meng Ao, they wouldn't be of much use.
Meng Ao sighed softly. Two years of hard work had been destroyed today.
After returning, it was already good enough to keep his life. As for bringing troops to war in the future, it would be very difficult.
Moreover, he had failed to accomplish Lu Buwei's goal, and he was afraid that Lu Buwei would blame him.
After that, he had to let his son Meng Wu keep a low profile. He wanted to see if Meng Tian would still have a chance to revive the Meng family's reputation after more than ten years.
Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling.
Meng Ao was extremely unwilling, but he had no other choice.
He had been defeated by Lord Xinling on the battlefield fair and square, so he could not have any complaints.
He was no match for Lord Xinling.
All of a sudden, the ground shook as if an earth dragon had flipped over. Many of the Qin soldiers were stunned.
Meng Ao's expression changed.
The alliance army had caught up.
"Retreat quickly!"
"Meng Tian, you lead the army and bring up the rear!"
In order to boost morale, Meng Ao ordered Meng Tian to bring up the rear.
Meng Tian did not get angry. He bowed and agreed. Then, he raised his Meng flag, held his spear, and galloped.
"All of you go and protect him!"
Meng Ao said to his personal guard.
These personal guards were all carefully trained by him. There was no need to talk about their individual bravery. Even the armor they wore was of the highest quality. They were all the most loyal to Meng tribe.
Their combat strength was also the highest.
After receiving Meng Ao's order, these people did not hesitate and immediately caught up to Meng Tian.
Soon, the 10,000 Qin soldiers followed Meng Tian to the south bank of the Yellow River to block the alliance army, buying time for Meng Ao and the army to retreat.
Meng Ao's action of leaving his own grandson behind to cover the rear, just as he had expected, raised the morale of the Qin soldiers. The originally fearful Qin soldiers once again became angry and powerful.
Meng Ao quickly retreated, but he suddenly saw a cloud of dust in front of him.
He was shocked. Could it be that Lord Xinling had already set up an ambush to cut off his escape route? If that was the case, he would be finished!
According to Meng Tian's prediction, this was obviously not Qin Country's reinforcements.
"Get into formation and prepare for battle!" Meng Ao immediately said warily.”
The Qin soldiers immediately got into battle formation and stared at the dusty troops vigilantly.
Not long after, a large flag with the word 'Zhao' appeared in Meng Ao's and the others 'sights, along with Great Qin's black Black Bird Flag.
The people who came were actually reinforcements.
"This is Zhao Mu?" Meng Ao asked in disbelief. How did he get here so quickly?"
Only when Zhao Mu's troops approached did Meng Ao know why Zhao Mu had arrived so quickly. Zhao Mu had brought 5,000 cavalrymen, and the main force was still behind.
Although he was happy with Zhao Mu's attitude, Meng Ao knew that 5,000 cavalrymen would not change anything.
After all, the alliance army had close to 300,000 soldiers.
Zhao Mu and his 5,000 men couldn't even make a splash.
"Zhao Mu greets General!"
"Zhao Mu, you came very quickly. Meng Tian is leading 10,000 troops to cover the rear.”Meng Ao said in a deep voice.
Zhao Mu's 5,000 reinforcements were a fresh force. The one who needed support the most was Meng Tian, not him. Thus, Meng Ao did not want Zhao Mu to die. He was really doing this out of strategic considerations.
Zhao Mu didn't refuse. He knew that Meng Ao was able to retreat safely because someone was covering his retreat.
However, he did not expect Meng Ao to leave his own grandson behind.
Meng Tian and Zhao Mu were good brothers, so Zhao Mu naturally would not give up on Meng Tian.
After bidding farewell to Meng Ao, Zhao Mu immediately led 5,000 cavalrymen to the rear.
Meng Ao continued to lead his troops and retreat, hoping to meet up with Wang He's army and Zhao Mu's troops as soon as possible.
At that time, the Qin army would be truly safe.
The water on the south bank of the Yellow River was already dyed red with blood. Countless corpses floated on the surface of the river.
Blood flowed and corpses littered the ground.
What entered his eyes was the smoke of war and endless corpses.
Qin, Zhao, Wei, Yan, Han, and Chu people were all entangled together.
Under the trampling of the warhorses, some of them even lost their human forms.
Meng Tian's men suffered countless casualties.
Under Lord Xinling's command, although the alliance army of the five nations was still no match for the Qin army, they were no longer weaklings. Instead, they dared to fight.
This way, Meng Tian, who was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, would not be able to stop the alliance army for too long. Instead, he was already in danger.
Gong Sunying's halberd was extremely powerful. Every strike landed on Meng Tian's spear, causing her body to sway and almost fall off her horse.
"Meng Tian, you're already dead!”
Gong Sun Ying laughed sinisterly.
Although he had failed at the 2nd Blazing Pass, Lord Xinling was still Lord Xinling. He had saved the country of Zhao with his own strength. He had regrouped and defeated Meng Ao on the battlefield.
There were not many opportunities to defeat the Qin army, so Gong Sunying naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill a few more Qin soldiers.
Meng Tian's personal guards were all dead.
The 10,000 Qin soldiers who had stayed behind to cover the retreat had also been reduced to a few hundred men.
Meng Tian knew that she was going to die here.
Unfortunately, he had never had a drink with Zhao Mu in Xianyang.
Kacha!
Meng Tian's spear was cut off by Gong Sunying.
Gong Sunying laughed loudly as he swung his halberd down.
Meng Tian was already heavily injured and was not far from death.
At this moment, he did not have the strength to fight back at all.
However, just as the long spear was about to land on Meng Tian's head, a sharp whistling sound of wind could be heard.
A halberd pierced through the air and pierced through Gong Sun Ying's body, knocking him off his horse and nailing him to the ground.
Gong Sunying's eyes widened as the nightmarish flag appeared before his eyes again.
The flag with the word 'Zhao' was rustling.
