The water level has been dropping, and they want to rescue these wooden rafts while the tidal flats are not wide, leaving a way back for the army.

But it is difficult to drag those wooden rafts, and it is not possible for a bunch of people to carry a wooden raft, and it is difficult for people to even walk, let alone drag heavy objects.

And the depth under this mud is simply mysterious, the shallow place is no more than the knee, but the deep place can sink the whole person in.

The frontal fierce attack of the Yan army, while the sergeants who rescued those wooden platoons in the rear were tossed by the mud of the tidal flats in almost despair, the kind of despair that was close at hand but far away from the end of the world, watching the water level go away little by little with time.

The commander-in-chief of the Zhao Army, who commanded the operation on the front line, cried when he faced the battlefield of the fighting after learning about the situation of rescuing the wooden platoon in the back.

A big man in the hall had tears in his eyes, and when the war was far from over, he had silently burst into tears, tears on his cheeks, moistened his beard, trembled his lips, and muttered to himself: "Zhao Guo... It's over! Zhao Guo is finished......"

He is not one of the small soldiers below who only obey orders and don't know anything, he clearly knows that after the Yan army and the Zhao rebels join forces, the overall strength is twice that of this side, and when an attack is launched, it is often twice the strength of the Zhao army.

And the person who commanded twice the number of troops here was not a wine bag and a rice bag, but a generation of famous generals who shocked the world.

There is also the strength of the monks, the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom could have confronted the three major factions of the Zhao State head-on, and now a Xiaoyue Pavilion with extraordinary strength has emerged to join forces with the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom, that is to say, the strength of the monks The enemy army is also stronger than the side of the Zhao State.

Now that his side is being attacked head-on by the enemy's superior forces, it is impossible to forcibly counterattack, and the only way to retreat behind him is the big lake behind him, but this last retreat is blocked by this muddy ground.

His men can't retreat, so how can the army in the lake get to the shore? There are millions of people in the lake!

Relying on the natural danger of man-made construction, it must be man-made, he believes that it must be man-made, such a large lake area is not a small pond, it must have been opened by someone, otherwise the water level will not drop very quickly, otherwise the Yan army will not attack at this time.

Relying on the man-made natural hazards, the Yan army could trap millions of people and horses in the lake even with only a small part of the troops.

The million-strong army in the lake has no effect on Zhao Guo, and can be regarded as non-existent.

One thing is also obvious, the drop in the water level of the lake cannot only fall on his side, not only the people and horses on his side have no way to retreat, but also the people and horses of Zhao in other directions have no way to retreat.

The battle has reached this point, and he doesn't need to see the ending, he already knows that Zhao Guo is over.

Tearful, speechless, that 'Yan Shanming' commanded thousands of troops on this vast land to set up a big situation of swallowing mountains and rivers, and wanted to finish his work in one battle, and he did it......

On the lake, among the teams that were desperately rowing quickly, a general pointed ahead and said loudly: "Governor, I have seen the shore, I am almost at the shore." ”

Pang Teng urged again, "Quick, be sure to land before the evening, be sure to meet the defenders before the evening to break through!"

Even he didn't believe it himself, he knew that he was forcibly boosting the morale of the army.

When the front line of the army crossing the lake approached the so-called shore, all the soldiers were dumbfounded, and the people sitting on the wooden rafts also stood up one after another to watch.

What is the real shore, there is still a hundred feet away from the shore of the green grass, and there is still more than a mile away.

Standing on the wooden raft, you can see the real shore, and there are many people tossing in the muddy field.

Zuo Chengfeng, Jiang Wanlou, and Mi Man's faces darkened, and they finally understood why Pang Teng said, 'I'm afraid it's too late'.

Zuo Chengfeng said in a cold tone: "Huge Governor, as the commander of the first army, it is your responsibility to let the army live, what can you do to lead the army out of trouble?"

Jiang Wanlou and Mi Man also stared at Pang Teng, it was naturally no problem for them to cross this muddy area, but they couldn't bring so many people over in a short period of time, they could only hope that Pang Teng, the commander, would come up with a way as soon as possible.

Pang Teng turned back to the three of them and said, "Go down to some mages, see which place is shallower, try the depth with your height, and line up to explore the way forward." ”

Immediately, a group of disciples of the three major factions took the order and flashed out, landing on the muddy ground in front of them, lined up in a row, and then unloaded their mana one after another, and their feet immediately sank. In some places, the mud stopped sinking before it reached the knees, in some places it did not reach the thighs, and in some places it did not reach the back of the waist and then to the chest, and the sinking did not stop after the shoulders.

And those places that can stop without reaching your knees seem to be able to walk, but in fact they are only small areas, and after walking a few feet further, they can sink so much that you can't even see the top of your head.

I don't know how many years the silt at the bottom of the lake has settled.

Pang Teng knew that there was no way to go any further, so he slowly closed his eyes, his face was full of pain, and no one knew the sorrow in his heart.

A father and son successively served as the governor of Zhao State, and his father and brother led the people of Zhao State to fight, and the final outcome was defeat, which also brought huge losses to Zhao State. He wants to reverse it, but as a result, he will follow in the footsteps of his father and brother, is this the fate of the Pang family?

"Don't try anymore, you can't get by. Pang Teng opened his eyes and sighed softly.

Jiang Wanlou said angrily: "As the commander-in-chief, he actually said such words that shook the morale of the army, and if you can't get by, you have to pass!"

Mi Man said: "Put the wooden rafts together and try to build a pontoon bridge." ”

Pang Teng said: "It's useless, the wood can float in the drainage, this kind of mud can't float, if you throw it down, it will be swallowed, even if it can float, people will sink when you step on it." ”

Miman doesn't believe in that evil, the key is that they can't accept such a reality, so they admit defeat like this?

It was quickly organized, and the soldiers on one wooden platoon were divided into the others, and then several monks cast a spell to carry the wooden platoon to the muddy ground and lay it down.

Facts have proved that in some respects, even the so-called well-informed heads of the three major factions are inferior to Pang Teng.

Pang Tengrong has experienced too many terrains in his life, and he has experienced too many terrains with his subordinates, what kind of place can the army go, what kind of place can camp and set up, that is already his basic quality, and he knows the result at a glance at the local terrain, and his ability in this area is far inferior to the heads of the three major factions who fly around at every turn.

This result made Mi Man, who insisted on giving it a try, very angry, and angrily scolded Pang Teng, "What now?"

Pang Teng didn't say a word, his eyes stared at the shore one or two hundred feet away, and the grief in his eyes was so profound.

The three heads looked in the direction he was looking, and the faint sound of fighting could already be heard on the other side.

Here you can see the shore, and you can see the army on the lake, but the two sides can't meet in this short distance.

Jiang Wanlou suddenly said: "I have a way to try, the army can take advantage of the situation from the water flow, and it should be able to land!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else understood the deep meaning, and they wanted to give up the Zhao soldiers and horses who were besieged on the shore in front of them, and if they didn't come to the rescue, they would treat it as if they didn't see it.

However, if you don't give up, you can't do it, there is no way to rescue, Zuo Chengfeng said: "Not bad!" Saying this shows that he is also in favor of giving up regardless of the life and death of the people on the south bank!

Pang Teng said, "It's useless, such a large lake, the water level drops so fast, the speed of the water flow at the breach can be imagined, so many people rush over, without the enemy attacking, it will all be finished!"

Jiang Wanlou said angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, what do we want you to eat as a commander? Since the two countries have been at war, since Meng Shanming made a move, you have fallen behind everywhere, and who claimed that you were sure to win before provoking the war? Who insisted on persuading us to start a war? Under the weakness of Yan State, Meng Shanming was still able to turn things around, what about you? A very good Zhao State, but you have been beaten like this, and you have enjoyed the waste of high-ranking officials in vain!"

Pang Teng's face was gloomy, and the other party scolded him mercilessly like this, he admitted it, "I, Pang Teng, am the eternal sinner of Zhao State!"

A group of generals around him also looked gloomy.

Mi Man: "Is it useless for sinners to talk about it, what is in front of us now is to solve the problem, do you want to let the army wait for death in vain?" Regardless of whether Brother Jiang's method works or not, at least it is the only feasible way, at least you have to try!"

Pang Teng closed his eyes and regretted, "You don't have to try, even if you rush out of the corner lake... As long as we rush to that side, we will be defeated! I am incompetent, and I have affected the people of Zhao State, and I pity the people downstream, and I don't know how many people will suffer because of this great flood! Meng Shanming has repeatedly made such a vicious and desperate scheme, and he will be punished by heaven!"

Jiang Wanlou scolded angrily: "What kind of punishment did you suffer? As a commander, it is your duty to win battles, and if you can't win, what kind of ability is it to curse your opponent with your mouth? You Pang Teng has the ability to come to a desperate plan, and I will help you bear the matter of being punished by God!"

What he scolded, Pang Teng admitted it, the general of the defeated army is not brave enough, even if there are thousands of reasons, there is no need to justify, this is not a quibble in the court, if you lose, you lose......

The army that held on the south bank, after losing more than half of it, had no hope of breaking through, had no way to retreat, and had no reinforcements, the remaining 300,000 horses, finally... Fall!

The last more than 3 million elites of the Zhao State, those who died in battle, surrendered, and those who were trapped in the lake, are equivalent to more than half of the losses.

The combined forces of the rebels of Yan and Zhao were inferior, and as a result, the Zhao army's defensive strategy of relying on Jiaohu completely collapsed, and the remaining Zhao soldiers and horses on the shore were compressed into a small area. The coalition forces did not attack this part of the men and horses, besieged them, and constantly persuaded them to surrender.

With the victory in hand, Zhao Jun has no chance to turn the tables, Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming are unwilling to attack again, and they are unwilling to let the children of the Yan army pay too many casualties.

From the east to the Song country, and then to the west to attack the Zhao country, the price paid by Yan Guoerlang in order to protect his family and defend the country and fight against foreign enemies is already too big!

At this point, the shore defense around Jiaohu Lake has almost been fully taken over by the coalition forces, and the millions of Zhao troops in the lake have completely become turtles in the urn!

The news of the Battle of Horn Lake shocked the world!

Clear-eyed people know that although this battle is not over, but after it has been fought like this, the Zhao army has no possibility of turning around, and the destruction of Zhao is in sight!
