Chapter 18-The Desperate 200,000 Qin Army! (The new novel kneels!)
Country of Zhao, Ping Yang!
The rain had already lasted for more than ten days.
The sky didn't show any signs of clearing up, and the Qin army camp with its back against the Zhangshui River was deathly silent.
The Zhang River surged, causing the original pontoon bridge to be washed away, and a new pontoon bridge could not be built.
With no food and surrounded on all sides, the Qin army, who could only defend in the main camp, was in complete despair.
The food that could only last for fifteen days had already been eaten for more than twenty days.
Now, he only had one meal of porridge to fill his stomach every day.
However, these things were obviously not enough to support the consumption of a soldier.
Standing in front of the camp gate, Heng Qiao's lips were dry and cracked.
This Qin general who had killed 100,000 Zhao soldiers in high spirits two months ago now had empty eyes without a trace of hope.
Huan He knew this very well.
They were finished.
There would be no rescue.
They wouldn't send reinforcements!
It would be the same even if he sent out the distress letter.
The State of Qin could not organize an army to travel to the State of Zhao to rescue them in such a short period of time.
They had already become a group of dead people who could breathe.
Once the food supply was completely cut off, there would only be death.
Not far from the camp was Ping Yang City.
Heng Cui knew that there was a cunning wolf in Pingyang City watching them. When they showed their weak side, the hungry wolf would rush out and bite them with its fiercest fangs.
Ping Yang City.
Dressed in black armor, Li Mu stood on top of the city wall and looked at the Qin army camp in the distance.
"General, it has been more than twenty days. I think the Qin army's rations have already been used up.”A deputy general beside Li Mu said,""Yesterday, the king sent someone to urge us to attack!”
Li Mu sighed when he heard what the deputy general said.
"Ah!"
No matter what, a country would inevitably have internal strife.
He was facing 200,000 Qin soldiers in the front, but someone was stabbing him in the back.
Li Mu knew that if he dragged it on, there would be more people in the court who would speak ill of him, and then find a way to make him return to the northern border.
Bang!
Li Mu punched the battlements.
How hateful, could those people not see the danger of national subjugation?
If they attacked now, they would definitely suffer losses.
If they could drag it out for another seven days, the Qin army would be defeated by itself.
However, he could not afford to delay any longer, and the people in the court would not let him delay any longer.
"Pass down my order. Tomorrow at noon, surround the Qin army from three sides and force them into the Zhang River!”Li Mu looked at the camp of the Qin army in the distance and said coldly.
Li Mu's words immediately sent messengers out of Ping Yang City.
And this sentence of his was also equivalent to giving the 200,000 strong army of the State of Qin a death sentence!
..........
The next morning, when the dull sounds of drums and horns could be heard in Ping Yang City…
Huan He, who was in the camp of the Qin army, suddenly woke up.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Get everyone to gather and get into formation. The Zhao army is coming, the Zhao army is coming!”Huan He woke up abruptly and listened to the war drums outside the tent in horror.
A weak horn sounded in the camp of the Qin army.
In Ping Yang City, Li Mu stood on top of the city wall and watched the soldiers who had been recuperating for more than 20 days and had high morale walk out of Ping Yang one by one. He then looked at the silent army camp in the distance.
Li Mu knew that he had won this battle.
The 100,000 Zhao soldiers surrounded the three cities from three sides. Each side had more than 30,000 soldiers, and they gradually squeezed into the camp of the Qin army.
Under Huan He's command, the Qin soldiers who had been starving for several days walked out of the camp and lined up in front of the camp.
In terms of numbers, the Qin army had the advantage.
However, the morale of the Qin army was completely gone. The soldiers stood drenched in the mud as if they would fall at any moment.
They had already eaten everything that could be eaten in the camp, including the warhorses.
Therefore, Huan He was standing behind the army, holding his sword in one hand, ready to face the baptism of death.
He knew that with the current state of the Qin army, they wouldn't even be able to withstand a single charge from the Zhao army.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Zhao army, beating the heavy drums, surrounded the Qin army from three sides.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The battle cries that soared into the sky almost scattered the dark clouds in the sky.
The Zhao army, who had been hiding in the city for more than 20 days, was like a pack of wolves.
At this moment, the Qin army was like a dying flock of sheep.
Li Mu was standing on a bronze chariot pulled by four horses.
"Pass down my order, surround the three armies and attack. We will break through the Qin army in one fell swoop!”
After pulling out the bronze sword at his waist, Li Mu pointed at the Qin army's formation in front of him.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Three consecutive roars broke through the clouds and headed straight for the Qin army's formation.
