As soon as the gap was opened, the two armies rushed together.

The scope of influence of the fighting spirit became wider and wider, and the people around Bai Zhong soon became jealous.

The other lieutenants were still commanding from the rear, while Bai Zhong had already led his troops into the Wei army. In an instant, hundreds of corpses were lying on the ground.

"Follow General Bai quickly!"

Several lieutenants and generals quickly gave orders.

When the other soldiers of the Qin Army saw how brave their general was, they all became more motivated and followed him to fight.

The Wei army was very fierce at first, but after Bai Zhong charged in, they were defeated in a short time and retreated in a hurry because Bai Zhong was so terrifying. He was covered in blood at this time, like a bloodthirsty devil.

The soldiers of the Wei army all wanted to avoid Bai Zhong's blade, but if they could avoid Bai Zhong, they could not avoid the slaughter of other Qin soldiers.

For the sake of military merit and title, the ferocity of Qin soldiers was not much worse than that of Bai Zhong.

The rear of the Wei army.

"Fight in!"

Gengwu had already reached the enemy's rear, led his cavalry in a rampage, and continued to plunder and kill with mounted fire.

The Wei army had to deal with it front and back, and the Wei general was caught off guard.

These smuggled Wei soldiers no longer wanted to fight, but only wanted to escape.

Bai Zhong could not give them a chance to escape, so he ordered them all to be killed without leaving any one behind.

As the last Wei soldier fell, countless corpses were already lying on the ground.

Almost 100,000 enemies were killed by 70,000 of them. Of course, the Qin army also lost thousands of people and injured more than 20,000 people, who were taken away by doctors for treatment.

"Destroy all the pontoon bridges used by the Wei army to sneak across!"

Bai Zhong saw the pontoon bridge not far upstream and ordered: "Assign people to monitor the nearby river bank to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."

"Gengwu, you go back first and help Meng Tian and the others defend the shore."

He saw Gengwu leading the cavalry back and gave another order.

"only!"

Gengwu Dao.

shore.

Meng Tian, ​​Wang Li, Li Xin and Zhang Han led their men to occupy absolutely advantageous positions and held back the Wei soldiers who were about to cross the river.

With the addition of Iron Eagle Warriors, the fate of the enemies crossing the river became even more miserable.

Either they were killed upon landing, or they were knocked down into the Yellow River before landing, and were subsequently washed away by the river.

Although the Yellow River is in the dry season, the current is still quite strong.

The fighting here quickly came to an end.

As soon as they settled the situation, Bai Zhong led his troops back and counted the war situation, and found that the total number of enemies killed was almost 150,000.

There are still 250,000 enemies left on the other side waiting to cross the river next time.

The Wei soldiers who were halfway across the river retreated immediately after receiving the order to retreat.

"There are still 250,000 people in the Wei army. If we want to kill them all, the best way is to let them cross the river and gather them together."

"But the enemy has crossed the river, and there are as many as 250,000 people, so we may not be able to win."

"If we really let the enemy cross the river, how can we fight on land?"

Bai Zhong has been thinking about various strategies in his mind.

Then he took out a map and looked at the mountainous terrain south of the Yellow River to study where and how he could destroy the Wei army.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Zhong called for a subordinate and asked: "Do you know where there are animal fats, such as lard, even tung oil?"

Wang Ben attacked with water near Daliang City. He thought that he could use fire to attack, but the prerequisite was to find something that could ignite or ignite the fire.

"I'll let someone find it."

General Pi said.

Bai Zhong warned: "The more, the better."

After making these arrangements, Baizhong went back to his tent and wrote a letter to be sent to Yang Duanhe on the other side. He could let go of the Wei army and even retreat directly back to Handan. As long as the tung oil and other things were obtained, the Wei army could be released.

Cross the river.

In the next few days, the Wei army remained silent and stopped attacking.

However, the grease, tung oil and other things Bai Zhong needed have been found.

The general led his troops to a nearby city and used his identity to search for these things in large quantities. A total of more than ten cities were searched and more than 200 barrels of these oils were collected. At this time, they were all transported to the army.

Zhang Han asked curiously: "General, what is the use of these things?"

"For setting fire!"

Bai Zhong said again: "Withdraw all defenses. There is no need to guard the river bank or blockade. Everyone obeys my military order and goes into the nearby mountains to hide."

General Pi worried: "The enemy army still has 250,000 main troops. If they are allowed to cross the river smoothly, they will definitely go to rescue Daliang. Our retreat will bring trouble to General Wang."

"Don't worry, I have arrangements. They won't cause much trouble. The whole army is ready to retreat."

Bai Zhong's order was very decisive and he did not give them a chance to explain.

An hour passed.

The Qin army all broke out of camp, packed up their belongings, and retreated from the river bank. All defensive measures were no longer needed.

——

The general of the Wei army on the north bank of the Yellow River was named Pang Quan.

In the afternoon, he looked from the north bank to the south bank, and was about to discuss how to cross the river again. Unexpectedly, he found that the Qin army seemed to have broken camp and was about to retreat. At first, he thought he had seen it wrong, so he decisively arranged to cross the river to investigate clearly.

.

at dusk.

The scout finally came back and told the truth that the Qin army had really retreated and all defensive measures had been abandoned. It seemed that they had given up defending on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"impossible!"

Pang Quan did not believe that the Qin army would retreat. He thought for a long time and said: "It must be a plan by the Qin army to lure the enemy deeper. I want to arrange a few more people to investigate. I want to know what the Qin army is doing."

As a result, hundreds of scouts crossed the river overnight to continuously investigate the movements of the Qin army.

Noon the next day.

All the scouts sent out came back, and they all said that not even the shadow of the Qin army could be seen, and there were no problems. According to various signs, the Qin army retreated completely, leaving nothing behind.

Pang Quan said with a headache: "How could this happen?"

The Qin army has always had the upper hand. In the last battle, the Wei army forcibly crossed the river, and the Qin army killed 150,000 people.

As long as they continue to hold the Yellow River and delay until Daliang City is defeated, they will be completely cornered.

Normally, it is impossible for the Qin army to retreat at this time.

"Could something happen in the rear of the Qin army and they all have to withdraw?"

A general beside him said.

Pang Quan pondered, thinking that this was a possibility.

But at this time, another scout came back and said: "General, Yang Duanhe in the north has also withdrawn. The army has all returned to Handan and has left completely."

Not only did Bai Zhong retreat, but now Yang Duanhe also retreated.

This is very problematic.

"Perhaps something really happened within the Qin Army."

Pang Quan even felt that this was a possibility, and said: "Continue to send people across the river to investigate."
