evening.

Bai Zhong returned to the military camp and announced a three-day rest to learn more about the current death situation in the army.

Of the more than 70,000 soldiers brought out from Wuguan, there are now only more than 60,000 left.

There are currently only 4,323 Iron Eagle warriors. After fighting so many battles, some losses are inevitable.

The first captain on Ying Shu's side also lost more than a hundred people in battle.

However, these remaining people are enough to attack Chencheng and capture the entire Huaiyang. Unless the Chu State can gather hundreds of thousands of troops to intercept them in a short period of time, it will be difficult to resist Huaiyang's troops and some reinforcements alone.

The Qin army advanced to the east.

"General, when we go back, do we want to recruit more Iron Eagle warriors again?"

Gengwu is responsible for counting the number of Iron Eagle warriors. Currently, there are only more than 4,300 left on the battlefield.

Many colleagues who used to train together and kill enemies together were gone without realizing it.

Meng Tian said: "As long as you go to the battlefield, there is a possibility of death. This is normal, but I also hope to add enough people to continue to maintain the reputation of our warriors, so that it will not slowly decline like before."

After finally regrouping the Iron Eagle Rui, none of them wanted to see this result.

"Brother Meng is right."

Wang Li agreed: "What does the general think?"

Bai Zhong thought for a while and said: "After I go back, I will report to the king and request another extraction. However, this time you need to do the extraction and training yourself. I am ready to let go."

They should also take charge of their own affairs.

Meng Tian assured: "General, don't worry, it's enough for us."

Wang Li and the others also promised the same thing.

Bai Zhong changed the topic and asked: "How are you doing with your Qi refining skills?"

"The general's Qi refining skills are very powerful!"

Zhang Han first said: "During this period of time, I feel much stronger and my five senses are sharper. Even if I stay awake for several days, there will be no problems."

Wang Li echoed: "I am the same way. In fact, I have been wondering, is the general leading us to cultivate immortality?"

As soon as these words came out, they looked at Bai Zhong at the same time.

Wang Li was not the only one who had this idea, Meng Tian and the others all thought the same way.

"The idea of ​​cultivating immortals is just your random thinking. Qi refining is just a breathing method to strengthen the body and enhance personal strength."

Bai Zhong said again: "You can teach it to General Shang and General Meng, as well as people you are sure are worthy of your trust."

This Qi refining technique can be spread gradually in a small area. This is the first step for him to create Immortal Qin. He solemnly said: "Remember, you must trust people, and their character and morality must pass the test before you can teach them.

"

"We understand."

Wang Li and others nodded.

They can understand and know how to grasp this standard.

In Bai Zhong's view, a qi refining technique is neither very powerful nor very precious. It can be put into the iron eagle warriors to test the water. If they get this permission, it should first be spread in a small area among the iron eagle warriors.

I had previously thought about teaching Qi refining to Ling Zhi and others, but he was about to go on an expedition when he returned to Xianyang. The battle was over, and the printing technology should be almost complete. By then, more than 20 copies would be printed and handed over to them for exploration and practice.

Bai Zhong suddenly thought that there was one person in the army who had not obtained the Qi Refining Technique, so he went directly to Li Xin and asked him to memorize the scroll.

"General, what is this?"

Li Xin asked without understanding.

Bai Zhong explained: "It's a good thing. You should memorize it as soon as possible and return it to me, and then try to practice it. If you can't practice it, don't force it."

Li Xin looked at the content above, it seemed to be some kind of Qi refining method, he quickly put it away and said gratefully: "Thank you, General, but I have no merit, and I can't help the General much. I got the General's Qi refining method for no reason.

I feel ashamed, I..."

Bai Zhong interrupted: "You memorize it first. If you can practice it, you can repay me when you have the opportunity in the future!"

"good!"

Li Xin agreed directly.

He must repay the general for this great favor.

Not only this favor, but also the favor of promotion. Without Baizhong, he believed that he would not have his current title and military position.

Bai Zhong said goodbye to Li Xin and inspected the military camp again. Then he saw the military judge bringing up the statistics of military achievements.

He has the authority to award titles for titles below the rank of doctor. For those above, the names will be recorded and publicized for three days. After making sure that there are no objections and that the military achievements are correct, they will be sent to Xianyang and a dedicated person will arrange the awards.

After handling these matters, Bai Zhong returned to his tent and was about to rest.

"You can win a lot of people's hearts with just one Qi refining technique."

Ying Shu came over again just at this moment.

Bai Zhong smiled and said: "What does it mean to win people's hearts? I am just improving their overall strength. I don't care about you secretly learning my longevity secret."

Ying Shu was surprised and said: "You know?"

"I can sense the longevity energy in you."

Bai Zhong really didn't care and said again: "It seems that the king trusts you very much."

Ying Shu proudly said: "Of course, I have the best relationship with my eldest brother."

Bai Zhong lay casually on the couch and said slowly: "Princess walked into my tent at night, what do you want to do to me?"

"I just want to see how many secrets you still have hidden."

Hearing this, Ying Shu also felt embarrassed and retreated to the entrance of the tent, saying again: "If you don't welcome me, then I'll leave."

She really left, and Bai Zhong didn't hold her back.

After walking all the way outside, Ying Shu looked back at the tent, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said to herself: "I am becoming more and more interested in you now."

——

after one day.

Xiang Liang has fled back to Chencheng.

Xiang Yan also came to Chencheng with 5,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

Due to the sudden incident, the Chu army had no time to gather a large number of troops and horses to come to the rescue. For the time being, Xiang Yan was the only one.

There are still 28,000 guards in Chencheng.

There are more than 50,000 people in total, which is enough for Xiang Yan to stop the Qin army.

"Aweng, I am defeated!"

Xiang Liang explained the whole process and then said: "Qin General Bai Zhongneng has become famous in recent years. It is not without reason. This person is very special."

Xiang Yan did not blame him, but comforted him: "It is your first time to lead an army into battle, so it is understandable that you will lose."

Xiang Liang said bitterly: "As far as I know, this is the first time that Bai Zhong has taken the lead and led an army alone in a battle. However, I will not be discouraged. I lost this battle to him. I will get back my strength from him in the future."

victory."

"That's the best thing you can think of!"

Xiang Yan said happily: "I will come and meet him for the next battle. Next he will attack Pingyu. I don't think we can abandon the city."

"If we divide our troops to defend the enemy, it will be okay if we can win. If we lose, our military strength will be greatly weakened."

Xiang Liang believed that Pingyu could not be saved and analyzed: "With the current morale of the Qin army, we have little hope of victory, and Pingyu's guards only have less than 10,000 people."

Xiang Yan said: "Not giving up Pingyu does not mean entering the city and defending it. We can also defend outside the city. When the Qin army attacks the city, they will definitely devote most of their main forces to the battle of climbing the city. If we are outside the city at this time,

Sneak attack, what do you think the outcome will be?"

Xiang Liang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Thank you Aweng for your advice. I want to be the vanguard in this battle."

Xiang Yan nodded and said: "There is a valley to the east of Pingyu City. You can lead 30,000 infantrymen as the vanguard. Hurry quickly and ambush in the valley, waiting for the Qin army to arrive. If the Qin army attacks the city, you can act according to the plan. If

The Qin army is slow, don’t show up on your own initiative, just wait!”

"I see!"
Chapter completed!
