Chapter 006-Qin Army Surrounded, Danger Zone! (New book begging for support!)
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Wang Jian was the first to step out.
As a veteran general of the Qin country, one of the four great generals of the Warring States, Wang Jian had already noticed the abnormality as early as yesterday.
When the Qin army was fighting outside, a messenger would return every other day with the latest battle report.
However, although it had been raining for the past two days, it would not delay the journey for a day.
And it was already the third day that no soldier had returned to deliver the military report.
There was only one possibility, and that was that something had happened!
"Your Majesty, although marching in the rainy season is slow, our Qin army has a strict discipline. If we delay for more than a day and mistakenly send a report, we will immediately kill them.”
"From what this old minister can see, there must be some changes in the battle ahead!”Wang Jian cupped his hands and said.
"I, Meng Ao, agree!"
Ying Zheng's expression changed drastically.
Since Wang Jian and Meng Ao both said this, then presumably, something big must have happened.
At this moment, waves of shock had already risen in Ying Zheng's heart.
One had to know that the 200,000 Qin soldiers fighting in Zhao were almost all of Qin's main force.
If this main force was really defeated, then the Qin country would be in great danger.
This kind of recovery was not something that could be recovered in a day or two, or even a year or two. If things went wrong, it might cause the Qin country to be unable to recover.
Looking at Ying Zheng's dark eyes and his furrowed eyebrows, Li Si, Wei Liao and the others were also feeling uneasy.
However, at this moment, they couldn't afford to be chaotic.
Hence, Li Si stepped forward and said,""Wang Shangchen believes that the lack of news at this time does not necessarily mean that we have lost.”
"If we were defeated, there would definitely be someone who escaped from the 200,000-strong army to report back. Since there aren't any now, it means that our army hasn't been defeated!”Li Si said loudly.
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng suddenly raised his head.
That's right!
What Li Si said made sense. Since there was no news, it meant that his army had not been defeated. At the very least, there was no news of their defeat.
"Your Majesty, this old minister suggests that we immediately send more people to investigate the situation!”Wang Jian said.
Ying Zheng nodded.
"This matter will be handed over to the two generals. Once there is news, inform me immediately!”Ying Zheng said.
Wang Jian and Meng Ao nodded.
..........
Zhao Country, at the Zhangshui River south of Handan.
A month ago, Heng He had secretly crossed the Zhang River before he could launch a surprise attack on Zhao's Ping Yang and behead 100,000 Zhao soldiers.
However, this Zhang River had now become the path of death for Heng Jue.
The continuous torrential rain in recent days had caused the river to surge.
Of course, this was not the most important problem. The most important problem was that the old general of the State of Zhao, Li Mu, had returned.
Moreover, Li Mu, who had just returned, took over the 100,000 Zhao troops and launched a fierce attack on him.
After several consecutive attacks, Li Mu stopped attacking.
At that time, Heng Cui had not noticed it, but Li Mu had secretly cut off his rations.
Moreover, the surging river water hindered his request for help.
This caused the Qin army to be cut off from food.
The army only had 15 days 'worth of rations. Even if they were to eat sparingly, they would only be able to last for 25 days.
Just like that, the 200,000 Qin soldiers were surrounded by the Zhao soldiers, who outnumbered them by twice.
Li Mu, who had recaptured Ping Yang, stood on the city wall.
The raindrops fell from the sky and landed on his armor.
This pillar of the State of Zhao stared at the 200,000 Qin soldiers stationed at the edge of the Zhangshui River.
"Great General, the upper reaches of the Zhang River will continue to rain. I believe that it won't be long before the Qin army runs out of food. At that time, we can defeat them in one fell swoop!”
A young general beside Li Mu in black armor said.
Li Mu, who was standing in the rain, shook his head.
"The Qin army has strict discipline. Years of war have made them tenacious.”
"This is the most elite 200,000 strong army of the Qin Country. If we can't defeat them in one battle, it's very likely that they will turn the tables and win. Therefore, we must wait until the Qin army has exhausted their last bit of strength before we attack!”
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and said.
None of the generals around Li Mu dared to refute him.
Li Mu's reputation was very high in the Zhao army.
Furthermore, he was given an important task by the King of Zhao the moment he returned.
Most importantly, they had managed to surround 200,000 Qin soldiers with twice the number of Qin soldiers.
Now that the Qin army's food supply was cut off, they would run out of food soon.
At that time, they would be able to effortlessly defeat this invincible Qin army.
Li Mu's eyes were cold.
This was a battle of life and death.
The losing side would have to pay the price of hundreds of thousands of lives.
Moreover, he could not lose. If he lost, he would only be able to destroy the country!
He could not afford to lose, so he could only win!
