"It's over, these 100,000 Wei soldiers are finished!”This was the first reaction of many Wei soldiers when they heard the name Baiqi.
It was not that they were trying to boost the morale of others and diminish their own prestige.
It was because Baiqi's reputation was simply too great.
Just looking at Bai Qi's battle record was enough to make them tremble in fear.
He had been on the battlefield for more than 30 years and had fought countless wars of all sizes.
No matter what situation they were in, even if they were at a disadvantage, even if they were outnumbered, they had never lost.
The Wei Kingdom had fought against Baiqi before. During the Battle of Yique, Baiqi only had 100,000 soldiers, while the Wei and Han armies had 240,000.
Amongst them, there were tens of thousands of the most powerful soldiers of the Wei army.
But in the end, they were all wiped out by Baiqi.
Let's not talk about the distant events, just the recent Battle of Changping, where Baiqi defeated 450,000 Zhao soldiers, and the Battle of Handan.
As such, when these Wei generals heard Baiqi's name, they immediately lost the will to fight.
This was because they felt that they could not win against Baiqi.
Furthermore, they were facing Baiqi, who had the advantage in numbers.
If they cowered before the battle, they would have already lost this battle.
"Lord Xinling, break out of the encirclement to the south and join up with the Chu army!”After a long silence, someone finally suggested to Wei Wuji.
Now, they were surrounded by the Qin army, and the Qin army outnumbered them. If they chose to fight the Qin army, they would definitely lose. They might even be completely wiped out.
From the current situation, it was obvious that the Qin army wanted to wipe them all out here.
"That's right, Lord Xinling, it's better to make a decision now. Otherwise, when the Qin army attacks, it'll be too late!”The other generals of the Wei Army also spoke to Wei Wuji anxiously.
"Pass down my order. Gather the army and prepare to break out from the south.”After a moment of silence, Wei Wuji sighed and said with a dejected expression.
This was the only way now. They hoped to break out of the encirclement and join up with the Chu army. This was their only hope of survival.
He didn't want the 100,000 Wei soldiers he brought to die here.
A kilometer was not considered far. Not long after, the Qin army had arrived outside the Wei army's camp.
The Wei army was stationed on the high ground, and they had the advantage of the terrain. As such, Baiqi did not immediately give the order to attack. Instead, he let the army rest and wait for them to recover to their peak condition before attacking.
……
"Lord Xinling, the Qin army has just arrived and the journey is tiring. Now is the best time to break out of the encirclement.”In the Wei army camp, the strategist beside Wei Wuji saw that the Qin army did not attack and could not help but speak.
"Pass down my order. Leave three armies, five thousand each, to block the Qin army from the east, west, and north. The rest of the army will break out from the south.”
Wei Wuji immediately ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The Wei Army beside Wei Wuji received the order and then started to move.
Meanwhile, Wei Wuji led the main army of Wei Country and attacked the Qin army of Meng Wu in the south.
"Kill!"
Immediately, earth-shattering sounds of fighting could be heard from the south of the Wei camp.
"Great General, the Wei Kingdom army has begun to break out from the south.”
On the north side of the Wei camp, Baiqi was sitting on his chariot and looking at the camp. Suddenly, a soldier reported to him.
"Pass down the order, all troops attack!" He said indifferently.
"Yes, sir!" The messenger behind Bai stood up and bowed.
"The Great General has ordered for the entire army to attack!”
Soon, Baiqi's order spread throughout the Qin camp.
"Kill!"
The three generals of the Qin army also led their troops towards the Wei army.
"Kill!" The Qin soldiers shouted as well, and then excitedly charged towards the Wei soldiers.
They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of not fighting.
The Qin army seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as they charged into the Wei army's camp one by one and began to fight with the Wei army.
The Qin army was already very strong, and with their advantage in numbers, they had the upper hand in the battle.
As for the Wei army, they had no desire to continue fighting and their morale was low. They were forced back by the Qin army.
Other than Meng Wu's army in the south, which was facing the fiercest attack from the Wei army, the Qin army in the other three directions was basically under no pressure. Countless Wei soldiers died miserably at the hands of the Qin army.
Although Meng Wu's Qin army was facing the fiercest attack, they still held on tightly and did not let the Wei army break out.
On the other three sides, the Qin army continued to reap the heads of the Wei army behind them.
Other than the Qin army in the south who suffered the most casualties and the most intense battles, the Qin army in the other three sides suffered very few casualties.
As time passed, the Wei army's casualties became heavier and heavier.
Wei Wuji and the generals of the Wei army were anxious when they saw that they could not break through the defense of the Qin army in the south, especially when they saw that the Wei army's casualties were getting heavier and heavier.
If they couldn't break through the blockade of the Qin army, only death awaited them.
However, when the Wei army saw that the Qin army on the east and west sides were also sending reinforcements to the south, their faces couldn't help but reveal a look of despair.
If things went wrong, the 100,000 Wei soldiers might really be buried here.
Now, their only hope was on the one hundred thousand Chu soldiers in the south.
If the 100,000 Chu soldiers could discover the situation here and send reinforcements in time, they would still have a glimmer of hope of breaking through.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult for them to break through the blockade of the Qin army on their own.
