"Report!"
At this moment, the scout in charge of scouting in front of them had a terrified expression on his face as he hurriedly rode his horse over!
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Meng Ao and Wang He couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.
"General, in front! The troops of Zhao and Han suddenly appeared in front of them! They have already blocked our way forward!”The scout stuttered with fear.
"What?!"
When Wang He and Meng Ao heard this, a thought flashed through their minds."It's over! This time, there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind! There was no place to retreat!”
Wang He and Meng Ao couldn't care less about anything else. They immediately urged their horses forward to check!
As expected, there were two distinct armies in front of them, one on the left and one on the right, blocking their retreat. Moreover, from the looks of it, the other party was probably prepared and had laid an ambush here long ago!
This time, they had really encountered the most dangerous moment!
Even Wang He didn't expect the armies of Han and Zhao to arrive at this time.
Moreover, it was so seamless and perfect with Wei Wuji's pursuit!
Just as they were about to break out of the encirclement and retreat, he directly blocked their way!
This made Wang He, Meng Ao, and the others feel helpless for a moment!
If they were to split up and retreat, they would definitely be attacked from all sides by the Han, Zhao, and Wei Tribes. Their last surviving army of about 100,000 would probably be completely wiped out!
Thinking of this, Meng Ao and Wang He made a prompt decision and stopped moving forward!
Since it was dangerous to break out of the encirclement, it was better to stay put for the time being and defend until nightfall. At that time, there might be a chance of survival!
After all, there wasn't much time left before the sky turned dark!
Thus, the Qin army, which had been fleeing, suddenly stopped moving forward and began to defend themselves.
Meng Ao and Wang He began to carefully and painstakingly set up a tight and complete defense system to increase the defensive ability of the army. They would not allow the enemy to take advantage of the situation and buy time for their own side to defend!
"Phew!"
Wei Wuji, who had been chasing after them, also noticed the Qin army's movements. They all stopped moving forward and stood guard. Wei Wuji immediately guessed that the Qin scouts had discovered the Han and Zhao allied forces.
Wei Wuji felt a little helpless in his heart. The old general was indeed worthy of being an old general. He was so difficult to deal with and chose the most unfavorable method for the other party--
This made Wei Wuji want to take advantage of the time when the Qin army was in a hurry to break out of the encirclement and make use of the information gap between the enemy and himself to gather the Han and Zhao allied forces outside the river.
They would use this opportunity to block the other party's possible retreat route, allowing the three countries 'alliance army to attack from the front and back to heavily injure or directly destroy this Qin army. This would definitely cause turmoil in the Qin country!
It could also cause a greater impact, beneficial to both himself and the other countries!
But now, it seemed that this idea had been shattered!
Left with no choice, Wei Wuji could only order his troops to slow down their pursuit!
The Wei army was also exhausted after the long chase and the intense battle. They were not as elite as the Qin army, so to ensure that nothing would go wrong, Wei Wuji could only give up on the idea of continuing the chase.
Then, he sent someone to inform the allied forces of Han and Zhao to move closer to him, preparing to use the power of the three countries to completely surround the Qin army here!
At dawn tomorrow, after the army had rested up, they would wipe out these enemies in one fell swoop!
The plains beyond the river.
The Zhao army was in formation.
"Oh! It seems that the Qin army has already discovered our tracks! It actually stopped moving forward! As expected of an old general, the commander of the Qin army, Meng Ao, was really decisive!”
Among the Zhao army, the middle-aged general was also looking at the formation of the Qin army from afar. When he saw the Qin army suddenly change direction, he stopped on the spot.
They also began to arrange their troops to defend themselves. This action immediately attracted Le Cheng's attention!
The commander of the Zhao army this time was the famous general of Zhao, Yue Cheng. The King of Zhao had originally planned to send the rising star of the Zhao army, Li Mu, to fight together. Unfortunately, due to the strange movements of the Hu people at the border of Zhao, only Yue Cheng was sent.
As a general who was proficient in the art of war, how could Le Cheng not see Meng Ao's motive for doing this?
That was why he was sighing at this moment. The old general was indeed experienced and had fought hundreds of battles. In a short moment, he had made the most favorable choice.
"General! Look at Han! They seemed to have noticed the change in the Qin army! General, should we talk to those people? What should we do next?"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed deputy general behind Le Cheng immediately noticed the movement of the Han army on the other side. He could not help but tilt his head slightly and suggest to Le Cheng.
After all, this was a five-nation alliance. No matter how much Han and Zhao did not want to deal with each other, they should at least maintain a superficial peace!
"Humph! Those cowards! They wanted to use the power of the five countries to suppress the Qin army, but they didn't want to use too much power! They were afraid that their national strength would suffer a serious loss!
Even this time, they only sent 30,000 troops to participate in the alliance?
Why do we need to communicate with such a person? We only need to listen to Lord Xinling's orders!
All of you, remember this! As long as Lord Xinling is still alive, he is our benefactor! He is the benefactor of our Zhao Country! This time, we will only listen to Lord Xinling's orders. Don't worry about the rest!”
When Le Cheng heard this, he immediately revealed a disdainful expression. He glanced at the 30,000-strong Han army with hostility in his eyes.
It had to be known that the previous Battle of Changping was because of Han's inaction, retreating and ceding Shangdang, which triggered the war between Zhao and Qin.
As for Han Country, the weakest country among the seven countries, Le Cheng did not pay any attention or respect to it at all!
Because compared to the country of Zhao, where heroes gathered, the country of Han was too weak, too humble, and too timid!
One had to know that the Han Country's crossbowmen could be said to be the best in the world. Their combat strength was also once unparalleled, but now they were already so weak. It could be said to be an eye-opener!
Yue Cheng looked at the thirty thousand Han soldiers beside him. Their morale was low, their armor was not neat, and their fighting spirit was low. How could they compare to the elite soldiers of Zhao?
In addition to this alliance, the Zhao Country had only agreed to join because Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, was personally the commander. Why would they care about a weak Han Country?
It had to be said that a weak country really had no diplomacy. No one would pay attention to the other party's thoughts and opinions! In this Warring States Era, strength was the only standard to measure everything!
