The Qin army was chasing after them.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo, who was in a state of chaos, did not know the exact number of people on the other side.
He could only flee downstream.
The 500,000 strong army still had some morale.
However, when they reached the lower reaches of the Pill River.
However, he heard the sound of drums from afar.
Boom!
Rumble!
On the plains in the distance, thunder suddenly erupted!
Tens of thousands of horses galloped over, and the whistling air currents made the world darken.
On the plains, endless sand and stones flew in the air, stirring up billowing smoke.
Even the grassland within dozens of miles was shaking.
From afar, one could see flags fluttering and weapons flying like a forest.
There was even a murderous aura that rushed into the sky.
The momentum was so vast that it made people's hearts tremble!
The black flag that was fluttering in the wind was like a black impermanence that was coming to steal his soul.
This caused the fleeing Zhao army to be shocked.
" Why are there still Qin troops here?!"
"When did Baiqi arrange a Qin army here? It's still a valiant cavalry!"
"Could it be that the Qin country is sending more troops?"
Feng Ting, Su She, Wang Rong, and Bind Leopard all felt a chill in their hearts.
The soldiers behind them were also in an uproar.
But now.
Everyone knew, how could Qin still have reinforcements?
The battle for Shangdang had completely overdrawn the years of accumulation of Qin and Zhao.
If not for that…
There was no need to change generals in this battle.
On the contrary, it would increase their military strength and crush the other party in one fell swoop!
"What a good Bai Qi!"
Only Zhao Kuo cursed.
Only now did he understand that he had fallen into Bai Qi's trap.
How could there be hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers on the defense line of Kongcang Ridge?
However, he did not expect that he would be frightened by Bai Qi's reappearance and lose his composure, allowing the other party to take advantage of the situation.
However, after learning about this.
However, it had no effect on the current situation.
At this moment, it was already too late to rush back to the Kongcang Ridge defense line.
Instead, he might as well use this opportunity to completely charge through the Qin army!
But!
If these people were really Qin Country's reinforcements, so what?
He had made a series of mistakes in his judgement, and he had fallen into Baiqi's scheme.
This made Zhao Kuo lose all his confidence.
Now, he was actually hesitating.
"General, please make a decision!"
Fu Bao knelt in front of Zhao Kuo and said in a deep voice.
He knew that Zhao Kuo's decision was very important.
However, if Zhao Kuo didn't say anything, it would be because he was afraid!
When the other party got closer, he lost his will to fight.
On the battlefield, the valiant cavalry had always been the king.
Now that ten thousand horses were galloping over, the visual impact on the country of Zhao was undoubtedly quite shocking.
If they were not careful, they might suffer heavy losses.
Wang Rong, Feng Ting, and Su She also spoke.
Only then did Zhao Kuo regain some of his spirit.
He looked at the valiant cavalry galloping over from dozens of miles away.
He quickly thought about it.
This place was wide and easy for the cavalry to charge.
It was very likely that their meals would be divided.
If the pursuing Qin army arrived at this moment, most of the Zhao soldiers would be killed.
And because of his previous mistake, the morale of the Zhao soldiers had plummeted.
Fighting the enemy here would definitely do more harm than good.
However!
The other party's move was very likely to trap them here.
The Pill River defense line must have been guarded by the Qin army.
so
"Turn the formation!" Zhao Kuo shouted. Leave 50,000 people here to cover the rear. The rest of you, follow me back to the Stone Great Wall!”
Zhao Kuo decided.
After retreating to the hundred miles stone wall, he wrote a letter to the King of Zhao.
It was better to send Lianpo to fight this battle.
He was indeed lacking in experience.
Only now did he understand why he wanted to go out to battle.
His mother had gone to the palace to tell the King of Zhao.
Just as the King of Zhao was about to send Zhao Kuo to Shangdang.
His mother wrote to the king of Zhao,"Do not let Zhao Kuo be a general. Otherwise, he will bring harm to the country and the people.”
The King of Zhao was puzzled.
His mother said," Zhao Kuo had just received the military order to be a general. He faced the east to accept the court meeting. He even took the gold and silk from the king last time and collected them at home. He also visited the cheap and suitable land and property every day. If he could buy it, he would buy it. He is so short-sighted. Please don't regard him as a general."”
However, the King of Zhao was anxious to win this battle and did not agree.
"If Zhao Kuo is defeated, will I not be implicated?" Zhao Kuo's mother asked.”
The King of Zhao readily agreed.
Now it seemed that…
Zhao Kuo's mother was the one who truly had foresight.
But unfortunately.
Regret was already impossible.
Zhao Kuo could only brace himself and try his best to protect the army.
"Generals, who will cover the rear?"
Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
Fu Bao, Wang Rong, Feng Ting, and Su She looked at each other.
They all knew that those who stayed behind to cover the rear would definitely die.
However, at this moment, there was no way to protect Zhao.
Feng Ting did not speak. He had surrendered to Zhao.
But Wang Rong, Su She, and Fu Bao started fighting over it.
In the end, Zhao Kuo made the final decision.
He looked at Fu Bao and said," You're friends with my father, and now you're under me. I want to protect you, but there's nothing I can do now."”
"Are you willing to cover the rear?"
Fu Bao immediately knelt down and said in a deep voice," A real man should die. However, after this battle, I believe that General will be able to grow up. In the future, you will be the Lord of Wu 'an of our Zhao Country!”
Zhao Kuo was speechless.
However, he still helped Fu Bao up.
Then, he led the rest of the people and retreated towards Shi Changcheng.
Fu Bao looked at the 50,000 or so people who had stayed behind.
" I know that you are most likely unwilling to accept the fact that you are left here, but we are fighting for our country!" he said loudly.”
"The longer this battle drags on, the more our parents, brothers, and families will have to live a hard life. If we can end all of this, we will definitely make Zhao Guofu stronger!”
"Our juniors will remember us. Our names will be their greatest pride!”
"Now, fight with me!"
"Do you dare!"
The 50,000 soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom were agitated and were slightly mobilized by Bind Leopard.
However, most of them had numb expressions on their faces.
After two years of intense battle, it was finally time to see the end of this battle.
However, they could only be abandoned.
Indeed.
Most people joined the army for their juniors.
But he couldn't see what would happen to the juniors.
However!
Qin Wei was a tiger and wolf.
But Zhao Yi dared to fight!
"Fight!"
A low roar sounded from the army.
Soon, it spread to the entire army.
In the end.
More than fifty thousand people shouted in unison.
Earth-shaking!
"Fight!"
"Do your best. Trust the general! I swear to win this battle!"
.......
In the distance, Zhao Kuo's eyes turned red when he heard the cries of the 50,000 people.
You guys trusted me so much, but I let you down!
I deserve to die!
Feeling guilty, Zhao Kuo wanted to win this battle!
However, when he led nearly 500,000 people to reach the hundred miles stone wall.
He saw Wang He, who had been waiting for him on the city wall for a long time.
As well as the hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind him who were in high spirits.
Zhao Kuo was completely numb.
