Lin Zejun gave an order, and the heads of the families present immediately changed their faces.

The head of the Meng family was the first to ask: "What does Lord Shaofu mean by this? At present, the morale of the rebels is low, as long as the Lord leads the big army to chase and kill, he will definitely be able to break the rebels, why do you turn a blind eye to such a good opportunity?"

"A good opportunity to break the rebels?" Lin Zehe sneered: "I'm afraid you're losing your mind, there are still millions of rebels outside the city, and without the city wall as a support, you're not afraid to go and not return?"

As soon as Lin Ze's words came out, the principals of the families present were shocked, their faces showed a trace of unnaturalness, and they glanced at each other.

But there are still some people who are unwilling and mutter: "The million-strong army is nothing great, isn't it a gray retreat?"

Then someone chimed in: "You can send a large army to give it a try, and if there is something wrong, you can retreat, and you should be too careful if you don't dare to pursue." Isn't Lord Shaofu afraid?"

Lin Ze glanced around at the principals of each family, and soon found a problem, this time the three Meng Xibai families were unexpectedly silent, and the other families were a little ready to move.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Ze guessed the reason, in the previous battle to defend the city, the three families of Meng Xibai contributed the most, so they also shared the most military merits, making the demand for combat merits of the three families not as urgent as at the beginning.

In contrast, the combat exploits obtained by other families are a little insufficient, so they will have such a performance, seeing that the rebels are about to run away, how can they not be anxious to catch up with them if they want to make more war exploits?

However, Lin Ze's attitude was very resolute, not to mention blocking the city gate with a boulder, he even ordered Fang Immortal Dao disciples and 20,000 troops to guard the city gate, no matter who came within 100 meters, he would be killed directly.

Lin Ze dared to be sure that Zhou Shi definitely had a back hand for this retreat, and even attacked the city three times in a row at any cost, all in order to create a false impression that the rebels had to retreat.

Maybe it was a retreat on the surface, but in fact, it was planning to lure the snake out of the hole, just waiting for the Qin army to go out of the city to pursue, so as to take the opportunity to counterattack and turn defeat into victory.

As for the reaction of the various families, if it weren't for Lin Ze's other plans, they would have been let out to die a long time ago.

The three families of Meng Xibai remained silent, and the rest of the families were more than capable of strength, and in the face of Lin Ze's attitude, they could only retreat helplessly.

......

On a hillside a hundred miles away from Hangu Pass, Zhou Shi Zhuma waited for two hours, but he didn't see the Qin army chasing after him, so he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and ordered the scouts to pay close attention to the movements of Hangu Pass, and officially returned east with the army.

In the next three days, the scouts who were responsible for monitoring Hangu Pass delivered a message to Zhou City every hour, and all the news was one kind: the gate of Hangu Pass was closed, and the Qin army did not move at all.

This next week, the city completely extinguished the idea of ambushing the Qin army, and took the army to Yangzhai City with peace of mind.

Xiang Liang Tianrong, the three military ministers who got the antidote, took Zhao Qichu's army and followed Zhou City for three days, and after confirming that the poison in them was solved, Fang glanced at Zhou City's army hatefully and parted ways with it.

It's just that compared to the momentum when he came, on the way back, he looked particularly depressed.

......

On the fourth day, Zhou Shi led an army of 500,000 to the bank of the Yi River, crossed the river, and the road back to Yangzhai from Hangu Pass was half walked.

Even though it is the dry season, the deepest part of the Yi River is also ten meters deep, and it is the transition of winter and spring, and the climate is cold, so it is obviously unrealistic to swim over.

What's more, the army of more than 500,000 people, if you really swim, you can block the Yi River.

Therefore, Zhou City ordered the whole army to stop and cut down trees to make pontoon bridges for the army to cross the river.

Half an hour later, a pontoon bridge was built over the Yi River.

Zhou began to command the army to cross the river in an orderly manner, and as time passed, the entire army slowly moved to the opposite bank.

One hour, the 20th army had crossed the Yi River, and one of the soldiers walked across the pontoon bridge, looked at the river bank, and couldn't help but wonder: "This year, the Yi River seems to be a little shallower." ”

As soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded, and countless people looked in the direction of the source of the sound, only to see the direction of the upper reaches of the Yi River, and the high river water rushed in, as if it was a flood.

The rebels, who were on the pontoon bridge, were in a panic, pushing their companions and trying to flee for their lives.

However, there are people in front of and on the left and right, how can they escape?

As soon as the river rushed, the pontoon bridge disappeared, and with it was swept into the river, along with thousands of soldiers on the bridge, and the whole army was cut in half by a river.

When Zhou Shi saw this scene, his whole heart fell to the bottom, and there was a thought in his heart: It's over, he was ambushed by the Qin army.

The reality did not "disappoint" Zhou City, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, and countless cavalry wearing black armor appeared in Zhou City's field of vision, waving the banner of "Han", rushing towards the 200,000 rebels who crossed the river.

These 200,000 troops, because of crossing the river, have long been scattered, how can they resist the attack of the 100,000 Qin army?

Zhou Shi watched the 20 armies on the other side of the river, under the impact of the 100,000 Qin army, collapse at the touch of a button, and then scattered and fled, trying to escape.

But the Qin army, which had been prepared for a long time, would let them escape so easily, and they all subconsciously drove the rebels into the river.

In a panic, the rebels, in order to save their lives, had to flee in the direction of the river.

However, with 200,000 troops crammed into one place, how could it be so easy to jump into the river?

The rebels who were in chaos couldn't control so much, they just fled desperately, and some even pointed their swords at their companions, so countless rebels trampled to death.

Half an hour later, the other side of the river became a mess, and the 200,000 rebels could be said to have been wiped out.

Seeing Qin Jun march away, Zhou Shi spit out a mouthful of blood under the agitation of his emotions.

After half a ring, Zhou Shifang gritted his teeth and ordered: "The whole army will move south quickly, and choose a shallow place to cross the river directly." ”

The 300,000 rebels, whose morale was extremely low, packed up their things and marched south along the Ilo River, intending to find a shallow section of the river to cross.

After walking fifty kilometers south, the army stopped at once.

In front of them, there stood 200,000 Qin troops who were waiting for work.

I only heard Zhou Shi's mournful shouting: "Array, meet the enemy." ”

However, before the rebels could react, the 200,000 Qin troops swarmed in, like a sharp knife, slammed into the rebels, and then stirred it to pieces.

No matter how much Zhou Shi shouted and commanded, he could not save the collapse of the rebels.

In less than a quarter of an hour, many soldiers abandoned their armor and fled for their lives in all directions.

In the face of the almost endless Qin army, Zhou's personal guards were undiminished in fighting spirit, and they escorted him to break out.

Zhou Shi was already a little mentally defeated at this moment, and shouted in a hissed voice: "Ben Shuai doesn't leave, Ben Shuai wants to stay and fight to the death with the Qin army." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier pulled Zhou Shi and persuaded hard: "Dashuai, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, today's defeat is nothing, with Dashuai's talent, he will definitely be able to make a comeback, Dashuai must not give up lightly." ”

I saw Zhou Shi indifferently and said: "Defeat is defeat, and the only way to be worthy of the dead soldiers is to find the battlefield of death." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier shouted: "Wake up, big marshal, if you don't escape, how can you avenge the dead soldiers? Who will take care of the families of the dead soldiers? If you die here, you will be sorry for everyone." ”

Zhou Shi suddenly came to his senses, glanced at the banner with the word "Han" held high by Qin Jun with hatred, and secretly made up his mind: "Is the main general surnamed Han? ”

Immediately, he burst out of his six-rank peak martial arts cultivation, and with his own guards, he chose a direction to break through.

Xu is Zhou City's martial arts are indeed extraordinary, and he really let him break through the encirclement and escape.

The departure of Zhou City was a great blow to the morale of the remaining rebels, and many people began to drop their weapons and surrender on their knees in despair.

Han Xin accurately grasped the changes in the battle situation, and made people shout the slogan of "investment is not dead".

An hour later, there was no more than half of the rebels standing.

Han Xin said to the person beside him: "Light the wolf smoke and inform the military advisor that the rebels in Zhou City have been wiped out, and the military advisor can make the next plan." ”
