It turned out that last night, Meng Tian led the Qin army out of the camp and rested on the side of the road, Meng Tian was thinking about the next step of the Qin army.

Although Meng Tian can't figure out how the Dai army drove the beasts to fight now, this fact cannot be denied, so in the future battles, the beasts must be taken into account, and it will also be counted as part of the Dai army's combat power.

And how the Qin army dealt with the beast herd, Meng Tian couldn't think of a clue for a while, but after all, Meng Tian was a calm personality and a thoughtful person, thinking that there must be a way to deal with the beast herd, because if the beast herd was really invincible, the plateau would have used it a long time ago, and it had not been used until now, and it was still used by night attack, indicating that the beast group must have its weaknesses, but he couldn't find it for a while.

Of course, the weakness of the beast herd can be found slowly, but the real problem is that the western army of the Qin army led by Zisi was defeated by the Dai army, and the camp was also breached, although it is not known how the casualties of the Qin army were, but it will never be less, and the most important corner of the triangle has completely collapsed, so this time the Qin army's attack on Hongshangsai has completely failed, and the remaining two Qin troops are also in extreme danger, and they should withdraw as soon as possible, and it is best to leave overnight.

But Meng Tian quickly revised his thoughts, the Qin army must not withdraw overnight, because the Dai army has a herd of beasts, and the night vision ability of the beast is much stronger than that of humans, and it is basically the world of beasts at night.

After figuring this out, Meng Tian didn't care that it was still dawn, so he immediately ordered to set off immediately and rush to Han Teng's camp to build a war on Han Teng, and withdraw the army immediately after dawn, otherwise it would be too late.

So Meng Tian didn't care about collecting the other defeated soldiers in Long, so he only took the 1,500 or 600 people he had gathered, and set off overnight, feeling the black and hurrying. Although it was in the dark, there were few bumps, and sometimes there were even a few false alarms caused by startling the birds or rabbits and sheep that stayed overnight, but they were all safe and sound, and after more than two hours of hurrying, they finally rushed back to the rear camp of the Qin army at dawn.

When the soldiers guarding the camp gate saw that it was Meng Tian, of course they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately opened the camp gate, let them into the camp, and at the same time sent someone to report to Han Teng and Meng Wu.

Because he didn't receive Han Teng's order at this time, Meng Tian didn't dare to walk around at will, and waited in front of the camp gate, and at this time Meng Tian found that although it was not yet dawn, the soldiers in the back camp seemed to have gotten up, and they were busy packing the car, looking like they were preparing to transfer.

When Meng Tian saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, it was difficult for Han Teng to receive the news that he knew that the Western Army had been defeated, so he was ready to evacuate. It just so happened that an officer in this town who was directing the soldiers to pack was Meng Wu's personal entourage, and Meng Tian also knew him, so he immediately called him over and asked, "What's going on?" Is the army leaving? ”

Seeing that it was Meng Tian, the man didn't dare to hide it, pulled Meng Tian aside, avoided the others, and said in a low voice: "Young General, don't tell others, the Qin army on the side of Jijing has been defeated by the Dai army, and the 100,000 troops who fled back to the south bank of Yishui do not even have 10,000 people, and even General Wang Shang was lost in Jijing City, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so General Han and the general discussed and decided to withdraw the army immediately and retreat to Jingchengsai." ”

After Meng Tian heard this, as if he had been struck by lightning, the whole person was stunned, and he was even more shocked than seeing the Dai army driving the beasts to fight, the Qin army on the Jijing side was defeated, and even Wang Jian was lost in Jijing City, how could this be? Because among the generals of the Qin State now, whether it is ability, experience, or qualifications, Wang Jian is definitely the first in the ranking, and the Qin army has already occupied Jijing and has a strong city to defend, how could it be so miserable?

Although Meng Tian does not think that Wang Jian's ability to use troops is invincible in the world, at least the plateau is not under Wang Jian, but the problem is that now the plateau is in Hongshangsai, and the acting army leader on the front line of Jijing will be Sima Shang. Although Sima Shang is also an outstanding famous general, there is still a considerable gap compared to Wang Jian, so how did the Qin army lose?

At this moment, several thoughts flashed in Meng Tian's mind, could it be that Gao Yuan secretly rushed from Hongshangsai to Jijing, taking over Sima Shang's leadership, so he hit Wang Jian off guard, this is not impossible, during the Battle of Changping that year, at the beginning of the Qin army's main general would be Wang Di, and Lian Po was opposed, and later Qin State made a counter-plan, so that King Zhao Xiaowen replaced Lian Po with Zhao Tian, who could only talk on paper, and Qin State secretly transferred Wu Anjun Bai Qi as a general, and ordered Wang Di to serve as a lieutenant and deputy general, and ordered the army to keep secrets, there is a leak of the news of the killing, the result is to defeat Zhao Jun, kill Zhao Shi, and finally win the Battle of Changping. And it is not impossible for Gao Yuan to also play this hand to steal beams and change pillars, so that the Qin army is caught off guard.

In addition, now the generation army can drive the beasts to fight, so in the Jijing line, is there also a group of beasts to participate in the battle, and there are also heavy armored cavalry troops, if there are these two forces in the Jijing line, even if the plateau does not go to Jijing, although Wang Jian's ability to use troops is much stronger than Sima Shang, it is indeed extremely difficult to deal with.

Just when Meng Tian was thinking nonsense, someone rushed to Meng Tian and said, "General Meng, General Han, General Meng, please come in to see the general." ”

Meng Tian took a deep breath at this time, excluded all other thoughts from his mind, and followed the people to the Chinese army tent of the Qin army, originally Meng Tian didn't know how to tell Han Teng about the experience of this battle, so that Han Teng believed that the Dai army did have the ability to drive the beast to fight, and accepted the withdrawal of the army, but now it seems that Han Teng has decided to withdraw from the army without his own words.

When they came to the big tent, Han Teng and Meng Wu were both in the tent, Meng Tian saluted the two, and then told the two of them in detail about the battle last night.

After listening to Meng Tian's speech, Han Teng and Meng Wu were silent, but Meng Tian noticed that Meng Wu's eyelids jumped several times, and Meng Tian knew that this was a reaction that would only occur when his father was extremely shocked.

At this time, Han Teng nodded and said, "General Meng, the fault of this defeat is not you, it is because the Dai army has the ability to drive beasts and fight, no matter who leads the army, it is inevitable that they will be caught off guard when they encounter this situation." After a pause, Han Teng said again: "Just last night, we just received news that the Qin army on the front line of Jijing has been defeated, Jijing has been lost, General Wang Shang has fallen in Jijing, life and death are unknown, and there are less than 10,000 left of the 100,000 army. ”

Although Meng Tian had already known the news, after listening to Han Teng's words, he immediately asked, "How could the Qin army be so defeated?" ”

Han Teng smiled bitterly and said: "We don't know much about the detailed situation, but listening to the report of the detective, as early as a few months ago, the plateau arranged hundreds of fine works to sneak into Jijing to lurk, and the Dai army was facing each other on the border of Daiyan, and sent a team of men and horses to secretly make a detour to raid Jijing, and as a result, the inside and outside should be combined and Jijing was captured." The Qin army, which was opposed to the Dai army, was routed on all fronts and suffered heavy losses. ”

Meng Tian is also a person who is proficient in the art of war, hearing Han Teng say this, he immediately understood the plateau's plan for using troops, and he couldn't help but gasp, he had already started to arrange it a few months in advance, so it seems that this time to send troops to attack Yan State, all the steps of the Qin army have been expected by the plateau for a long time, which is also too terrifying.

Han Teng said again: "Now we have been defeated on the Jijing front, the Dai army can kill Yi Shui at any time and attack the south, and our people have become a lone army, originally I wanted to discuss with you, but now that the left army has been defeated by the Dai army, we must not stay here for a long time, so we must withdraw our troops immediately, otherwise we will follow the mistakes of the Jijing line." ”

Meng Tian also nodded, and said: "General, the withdrawal of the army must be done as much as possible, it is best to notify the Eastern Army immediately, let them withdraw immediately, the baggage can be abandoned, set off lightly, the sooner the better, it must not be delayed until the evening, and it cannot be withdrawn at night." ”

Han Teng was stunned, because the ability to fight at night in this era is not strong, so the emergency withdrawal of troops generally chooses to retreat at night, so that there is enough time to avoid the pursuit of the opponent, so he asked: "Why can't you withdraw the army at night?" ”

Meng Tian said: "Now the army can drive the beasts to fight, and beasts such as tigers, leopards and wolves are generally good at night, and they are good at night raids, if we retreat at night, the army drives the beasts to pursue, we are difficult to resist, so we can only withdraw the army during the day, in order to effectively resist the beasts, and the army won last night, but also fought fiercely all night, it is inevitable that people are sleepy, and there will be no large-scale action during the day." After a pause, he said: "The rear army camp is far away from Hongshang, so there is no need to retreat sharply, you can stay for a day temporarily to cover the retreat of the right army, but at night to strengthen the guards, by it is necessary to arrange more archers, in addition to the camp wall to hang nets, in case the apes cross the camp wall, once the apes enter the camp, it will be very troublesome." ”

Han Teng nodded and said, "Okay, I will immediately give an order to the right army and let Li Xin withdraw immediately, but the defense of the rear camp tonight will be commanded by General Meng, okay?" ”

Meng Tian hurriedly said: "The last general will be honored." ”

Han Teng said again: "General Meng has been fighting all night and has not slept all night, you can go and rest first, and then make arrangements." ”

Meng Tian said: "Thank you general, but although the left army is defeated, there will never be only more than 1,000 people left brought by the last general, there will definitely be a lot of scattered soldiers, please send someone to collect them." ”

Han Teng nodded, turned to Meng Wu and said, "General Meng, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Meng Wu hurriedly said: "I am giving an order." Then he said goodbye to Han Teng and left Han Teng's Chinese army camp with Meng Tian.
