Ding! Congratulations to the host for making a successful choice. The reward is Meng's Army's favorable impression points 30, reputation points 1000 (reputation rising).
"Phew, I finally escaped."
After running for an unknown amount of time, Xue Li's tensed nerves relaxed when he realized that there were no pursuers in the surroundings.
An unprecedented sense of fatigue assaulted his heart. He had lost count of how many people he had killed that night. It was probably more than 200.
All the muscles in his body felt sore and swollen, and he could not take it anymore.
If the pursuers came again at this time, it was unknown whether he could fight with his halberd.
"Xue Li, after killing for so long, it's about time to rest.”
A cavalry stealthily appeared behind him.
This time, the one leading the army was none other than Sima Shang, the vice commander of the Zhao army. He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, waiting for Xue Li to walk right into the trap.
Looking back, Xue Li felt as if ten thousand grass mud horses were running through his heart.
Was he poking the nest of the State of Zhao?!
Why are there waves after waves of pursuers!
"Surrender! We can let bygones be bygones. With your talent, you will definitely become a general of our country!”
"Don't even think about it. That's impossible. If you have the ability, then chase after me!”
Xue Li shouted.
The road ahead was a dense forest, and it was especially familiar.
If he was not wrong, the 100 Great Qin Cavalrymen he had brought with him should have set up a diversion here. He did not know if it would be effective, but he decided to give it a try.
The Night Jade Lion quickly crossed the forest and fled into the distance without looking back.
Sima Shang, who was in hot pursuit, also quickly rushed to the front of the dense forest. He saw the dust flying in the air, as if there were suspicious soldiers.
In addition, it was late at night, and his vision was not very good. He could not see the exact situation at all, so he reined in his horse and did not dare to chase casually, afraid of being ambushed.
"Phew! Phew!"
"Reporting to the general, dust is flying ahead. It is suspected that there are ambushes here. Do we still need to advance?”
"Hahaha, I've really been tricked by this young general.”
Sima Shang suddenly burst out laughing.
This was a diversion tactic to attract the attention of the others and create a better space for Meng Tian to break out of the encirclement. However, he did not notice it for a while and only noticed it after chasing here.
Presumably, Meng Tian must have taken advantage of the weak defense to break out of the encirclement.
Not only did they fail to capture Meng Tian, but they also failed to capture Xue Li. It could be said that they were left with nothing on both sides. The previous 18 days of consecutive defeats were meaningless.
"There's no need to chase."
"The Qin army hasn't shown up yet, and Xue Li is the only one charging in. He must be lying in ambush somewhere.”
"That Xue Li must be pretending to be weak to lure the enemy in. He wants to return the favor and ambush us.”
"Retreat. I was careless in this battle.”
“.......”
Sima Shang waved his hand and said emotionally.
As expected, Great Qin was full of talented people, and Xue Liyong was not to be trifled with. He was also quite resourceful and was a rare talent.
It was a pity that he could not use it for himself. It was really a pity.
If they met on the battlefield in the future, they would definitely become a huge threat to Zhao.
"General is indeed shrewd, seeing through that Xue Li's petty tricks.”
The deputy general behind him cupped his fists and said.
If they and the others were hot-headed and directly charged in, they would really fall into Xue Li's trap. At that time, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Fortunately, under the command of the general, they stopped their rash actions.
This way, although Meng Tian and Xue Li managed to escape, it was still a small victory and not too much of a loss.
However, it was a pity that such a good situation had occurred. They should have taken down the Qin wooden stronghold in one go and then formed a corner with Jingxing City to resist the Qin army that arrived later.
If the general hadn't suddenly stopped his horse, he would have chased after them without thinking.
Who would be willing to let go of a cooked duck?
"It's not worth mentioning. In the end, I was tricked.”
"Let's return to Jingxing City. In a few days, the Qin army will arrive. We have to defend for at least a month.”
"The Handan battlefield is personally guarded by Marshal Li Mu. The Qin generals are definitely no match for him. When the battle over there ends, reinforcements will arrive.”
“.......”
Sima Shang turned around and did not continue to pursue.
It was truly a pity, but there was nothing he could do now. He could only try his best to strengthen the defense of Jingxing City.
"Yes."
Leading the army, Sima Shang rushed towards Jingxing City. This ambush could only be considered a small victory and could not change the overall situation.
Next would be the true battle against the main force of the Qin army. Great Qin's famous general, Wang Jian, would personally come to the battlefield, and it would be an unprecedented bloody battle!
However, what Sima Shang did not know was that there were only 100 Great Qin Cavalry in the forest.
Once they charged in, it would be enough to tear through their defense line in minutes. They might even be able to catch up to Xue Li, but because they had too many concerns, they missed this great opportunity.
