In this battle, the Qin army was defeated in one breath and a distance of more than 20 miles, so it could be regarded as holding its foot.

Meng Wu hurriedly ordered, gathered the remnants of the army, reorganized the army, and ordered someone to find Xin Sheng, and immediately sent someone to Qiu Yu to deliver a letter, telling the defenders of Qiu You that he was defeated by the Zhao army on the way to the rescue, and could not rush to Qiu You's aid for the time being, so that they could strictly defend the city.

After dealing with these things, Meng Wu had time to greet the people who had rescued him from the siege of the Zhao army. Fortunately, this group of people just now did not disturb Meng Wu's arrangement, and waited quietly on the side.

There were a total of twenty-two people in this group, led by the girl and the big man who jumped into the Mengwu chariot, and in the battle just now, none of the twenty-two people died, and only two people were slightly injured. Meng Wu estimated that at least more than 200 Zhao soldiers died at their hands. But until now, Meng Wu remembered the experience just now, and there was still some feeling of dreaming.

The woman and the big man led everyone to Meng Wu, knelt down and saluted, and said, "The last general, Shui Xinyue, Xiong is weak, I have seen General Mengda." ”

At this time, everyone had taken off their helmets, revealing their original faces, Shui Xinyue's age was only eighteen or nineteen years old at most, never more than twenty, although a head of embroidered hair was pulled into a man's bun, but it can still be seen that her five views are exquisite, her face is extremely beautiful, and among the women seen by Meng Wu, it is almost second to none. I really can't see that she is the warrior who was resolute and decisive in the Zhao army's formation just now, and killed Zhao Bing cleanly. If you put on a gorgeous palace-style women's dress, she is definitely a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city.

And when he heard the name Xiong Powerless, Meng Wu couldn't help but want to laugh, this person can lift a chariot with great power, it is really amazing, why is it called "powerless".

However, what name others take, of course Meng Wu has no right to interfere, and they rescued themselves from the encirclement of the Zhao army just now, Meng Wu is also very grateful to them, and said: "Get up first, no need to be polite." ”

When Shui Xinyue and Xiong were unable to stand up, Meng Wucai said: "You are the Qin army of that part, why have I never seen you." ”

Shui Xinyue said: "Returning to the Great General, we are the subordinates of General Han Teng Han of Nanyang Taishou. ”

Meng Wu was stunned, of course he knew that King Qin had issued an edict ordering Han Teng to lead the army into Zhao to participate in the war, and of course he didn't know the soldiers under Chao Teng. But Han Teng is Yang Duanhe's department who joined the front line of the attack on Zhangshui, not Wang Jian's department, how did he come here? Therefore, he also asked: "As far as I know, General Han should be assisting Yang Duan and General Yang to capture Zhangshui, how did you come here?" ”

Shui Xinyue said: "The general doesn't know, three days ago, General Han had already broken through the Zhangshui defense line of the Zhao army, and General Yang had crossed the Zhangshui and approached Handan. The king issued an edict, Handan has Guo Kai as the internal response, there is no need to worry, so after breaking through Zhangshui, General Han led his troops to the north to assist General Wang to capture Jingcheng, General Han sent us to take the first step to inform General Wang. ”

Meng Wu was also secretly taken aback, he couldn't imagine that Yang Duanhe had already broken through Zhangshui, so the credit for capturing Handan must have gone to Yang Duanhe. Judging from the current situation, Yang Duanhe was able to break through Zhangshui, and Han Teng's 5,000 troops must have rushed to Guan Jian's role. And Meng Wu remembered again that Han Teng relied on these 5,000 troops to capture Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. However, judging from the two people of Shui Xinyue and Xiong Wuwu, as well as the personal martial arts of these twenty or so people, Han Teng's subordinates have several talents, although in a large-scale battle, personal martial arts cannot determine the outcome of the war, but on the local battlefield, a few fierce people can still play a big role in taking the lead in rushing zinc.

Meng Wu said again: "Have you already seen General Wang?" ”

Shui Xinyue shook her head and said: "The last general has not seen General Wang, because we learned on the way that the general led the army back to aid Qiu You, and we were afraid that the general would lose, so we went separately. ”

When Meng Wu heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because listening to Shui Xinyue's tone, he calculated that he would be defeated by Zhao Jun on the way to rescue Qiu You, so he specially rushed to protect himself, and the implication of the latter sentence was that even Wang Jian would be defeated by Zhao Jun, but they were there to protect Wang Jian, so that he didn't have to worry. And the general has such an idea, and the main general will definitely not be good there, it seems that this Han Teng is a very arrogant person, and he doesn't even pay attention to Wang Jian.

But he did lose the battle, and he didn't have a group of people like Shui Xinyue, his battle was really dangerous, Meng Wu was not a narrow-minded person, and the other party had also saved him, so although he felt uncomfortable, he didn't say anything. After asking a few more questions, they were allowed to rest as a whole.

At this time, the Qin army had already gathered the defeated army, and after a simple check, about 20,000 people were killed, but Xin Sheng was finally safe, but he was seriously injured, and he couldn't get better without a month's recuperation.

Now Meng Wu is most worried that the Zhao army will take the opportunity to attack Qiu You, and now that the Qin army has been newly defeated, it has no ability to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army at all, so Meng Wu can only select 10,000 soldiers from the Qin army, and prepare to rush to Qiu You immediately to help Qiu You defend the city. Although he couldn't defeat this Zhao army, Qiu You had these 10,000 soldiers, and it should be completely possible to hold the city. As for defeating Zhao Jun, we can only wait for the next step. Wang Jian's camp must not be able to draw extra men and horses, but on the relief line, there are still nearly 100,000 Qin troops, and if another 20,000 or 30,000 are mobilized, it will be enough to fight with the Zhao army again.

Moreover, Meng Wu also made up his mind that if he fought with the Zhao army again this time, he must not rush into the field, and he must be prepared before fighting the Zhao army.

But the next day, Meng Wu received news that the Zhao army did not attack Qiu Yu, but suddenly withdrew. Meng Wu was also shocked in his heart, and he didn't know why Zhao Jun wanted to withdraw his troops. But since the Zhao army had withdrawn, Mengwu's preparations were useless, and he immediately ordered the whole army to march and rush to Qiu Youxiazhai.

Finally seeing that Qiu You was safe and sound, Meng Wu was also completely relieved, stationed on the one hand, and sent someone to send a letter to Wang Jian on the other.

―――――――― the dividing line ――――――――― dividing line―――――――― in fact, when the two armies of Zhao and Qin were engaged in a fierce battle near Qiuyou, in Jingcheng, Li Mu also led a large army and launched an attack on the camp of the Qin army.

This time, the Zhao army almost went out, and the number of troops put into the battlefield reached 170,000, leaving only a few thousand soldiers to stay in the Jingcheng camp.

After Paimon Wu led the army to rescue Qiu You, Wang Jian also estimated that Li Mu would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and would definitely take the opportunity to attack the Qin army, because it was almost impossible for the Zhao army to find a better opportunity than this, and if he changed himself, he would do the same.

At this time, the Qin army still had about 160,000 troops left behind in the camp, and in addition to the wounded soldiers, there were about 150,000 soldiers who could fight. In terms of troops, the Qin army and the Zhao army are basically equal, and it is not that they do not have the strength to fight with the Zhao army. But at this time, the morale of the Qin army was low, and in the past few months, there has been no rest, and the soldiers of the Qin army are also very tired, so Wang Jian knows very well that the Qin army cannot fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army at all now. can only stick to Dazhai and use the fortifications built in Dazhai to resist the attack of the Zhao army.

Although the Qin army's Dazhai fortifications were not as strong and complete as the Zhao army's Jingcheng battalion, they also had considerable defensive capabilities after several months of repairs. Moreover, there are a large number of bed crossbows in the Qin army's big village, which are very conducive to the defense of the Qin army.

However, the Qin army also has weaknesses, that is, of course, in order to strengthen the pressure on the Zhao army, so the Qin army is divided into three large villages, echoing each other, each other's strength, when the enemy attacks one of the villages, the other two villages can assist and respond. But if the Qin army has sufficient troops, of course, there is no problem, after all, there are 400,000 troops, how to mobilize it, it is easy to move, and it can also give full play to the advantages of the village.

But now the strength of the Qin army is less than half of the heyday, and it is good to be able to hold the current Dazhai, and there are not enough troops to rescue other Dazhai, so how to distribute the defensive forces also makes Wang Jiancai a headache, and it is definitely impossible to evenly distribute it to the three camps, which will only allow the Zhao army to break through one by one. It is necessary to give up the two big villages on the left and right, and concentrate the troops to defend the middle village with all their might.

As long as the Qin army held the middle village, even if the Zhao army temporarily occupied the left and right villages, it would not be considered a defeat, because the Zhao army's strength was limited, and it was impossible to fight for a long time, and after a long time of attack, it would automatically withdraw. And as long as any other Qin army outside eases up and rushes back to help, the Qin army can also come to a front and rear attack and fight the Zhao army with a counterattack.

It's just that the left and right villages can't give up lightly, first, they can't let Li Mu easily occupy these two villages; Second, in these two villages, a large number of military supplies are also gathered, and this is also due to the plateau. Because the plateau has repeatedly attacked the Qin army's supply line in the past, as a result, in the past two months, the Qin army has desperately collected military supplies in their own camp, and now the three villages are all stuffed to the full, of course, these things can not be easily changed to the Zhao army, must all be transferred to Zhongzhai, so before these materials are not transported, it is impossible to give up the left and right two villages.

So Wang Jian decided that in the two big villages on the left and right, only 30,000 soldiers and 100 bed crossbows were left to defend against the attack of the Zhao army, and the rest of the army was all transferred to Zhongzhai, and another 20,000 soldiers were pulled out to carry supplies.

Both sides have drawn up their own battle plans, and the biggest battle between Zhao and Qin will also begin.
