"Not only that, Lu Zhenlang thought that Pingyuan Lord Zhao Ping was chasing Qin General Li Xin and others, and he was afraid that he would return without success."
A glimpse into the whole picture.
Listening to the herald's messages one after another, Lu Zhenlang's mind was racing, and he looked at the sand table in front of him, and then looked at the map hanging on the wooden screen not far away.
A bold idea burst out, and it became more and more real.
It's becoming more and more possible.
Involuntarily, the whole body was filled with red flames and mysterious light. Sure enough, if they were fighting Qin here, they had fallen into the biggest trick and the biggest conspiracy of the other side.
A big plan!
Previously, the Qin army did not use many strategies, which made Lu Zhenlang think that the Qin army could not help but retreat due to its relatively small strength. Now it seems that this is definitely not the case.
"Why?"
Hearing Lu Zhenlang's solemn words, Yan Dan's extremely heavy thoughts couldn't help but become heavier, and he instantly stood up from behind the case.
One word again.
"The Qin Kingdom came out from the east to destroy countries one after another, first South Korea, and then Zhao Kingdom."
"Now it is the State of Yan and the State of Wei."
"No matter which country the Qin State attacked, now, in South Korea, there are no cavalry and no resistance. The elites in the Zhao State have been annihilated. Even if there are remnants, they have been scattered and incorporated into the Qin Army.
Camp.”
"With Wang Jian's ability in leading troops, it is very likely that he will be able to lead his troops across the Yi River very early this year and invade the land of Yan step by step, but he has not done this."
"Doesn't His Highness think it's strange that we and the other coalition forces have joined forces to end up in today's situation?"
Lu Zhenlang focused his gaze on Nuo Dayan Nandi who was on the sand table in front of him. He kept saying quick words. Then, his eyes fell on Yan Dan again. He...he was still drinking without a trace of grand plan.
Not as good as a truly peerless general!
It is an ordinary general who focuses on victory or defeat in a corner of the battlefield.
If you plan for the overall situation and have far-reaching plans, you can become a famous general. This is the case for Wu Anjun of Qin State, Li Mu of Zhao State, etc. Thinking of this, Lu Zhenlang sighed again.
"Come here, pass my order."
"Immediately inform the three armies to fight while retreating, and withdraw from Yannan."
Yan Dan did not respond immediately. There was no need to delay at this moment. The decision must be made quickly to the soldiers of the three armies to reduce casualties as much as possible. Then, they would have the strength to resist in the future.
Only then will there be deeper hope.
"Sir, why is this so?"
Yan Dan was extremely confused, and after hearing this order, he became even more puzzled, but...the affairs of the army were now in the hands of Lu Zhenlang, and he should not interfere.
Otherwise, it will only be more troublesome.
"Your Highness, I believe that...Qin General Wang Jian's plan is not just to simply defeat us on the battlefield."
"What's more, we must annihilate hundreds of thousands of troops here, and completely wipe out the resistance of Yan and Zhao. Only in this way can we understand why Wang Jian stayed in the Yan Kingdom for several months and refused to advance."
"Only then can we understand clearly why Qin General Li Xin led his troops to attack the State of Zhao in Dai. As expected, the purpose of Li Xin's troops was not to attack the State of Zhao in Dai."
"It is to attract us to go south to Yannan. Then, he will lead his troops to raid from the Yannan Great Wall, and attack with Wang Jian from the front and back, and severely damage our army again."
Absolutely so.
That must be the case.
Lu Zhenlang was extremely positive now. If he did not retreat at this time, it would be a greater disaster if Qin general Li Xin returned. However, there must be no delay.
"...How could this be?"
"Sir, what's next?"
Yan Dan was suddenly shocked, full of disbelief, but... Mr. Taste's words were true. Hearing what the previous messenger said, he was retreating steadily on the battlefield.
The coalition forces suffered many casualties, especially Li Xin's army, which also contained many of Zhao's elite troops. Their current coalition forces were much weaker.
On the battlefield, it can be sustained, but if it is a long-term battle, the chance of victory is not good.
The previous plan was to use more soldiers to weaken the iron-blooded soldiers of Qin as much as possible, so that they would not have enough strength to attack Yan, Zhao, and even the Shandong countries.
"We can only fight and retreat at the same time, and we cannot stay in Yannan for long."
A quick word from Lu Zhenlang.
"..."
"It all depends on the judge."
Chaos arose in his heart, and Yan Dan frowned. Lu Zhenlang's judgment was that he was quite sure that he was indeed attacked by the Qin army from both front and back here, damaging the main force.
Next, they won't have to contend with it.
Moreover, there is no countervailing power.
"Your Highness, there is no need to look sad."
"As long as we and the main force are still there, Qin General Wang Jian and others will not act rashly."
"What's more, in two or three months, it will be the autumn and winter of Yan State, and Wang Jian and others dare not act rashly."
"Containing Qin's main force here will also be a huge drain on it."
Looking at Yan Dan, Lu Zhenlang bowed his hands and said, "They still have a chance now. As long as the main force is still there, they will always have a chance. The result will not be known until the last moment."
"It has to be this way."
Yan Dan nodded.
In any case, Yan Dan still knows the importance of the main force and must not lose it.
"Report, there is a message from Lord Pingyuan!"
At that moment, a loud voice came again from outside the shogunate's military tent.
Suddenly, the expressions of Lu Zhenlang and Yan Dan, who had just finished discussing the countermeasures in the military tent, changed slightly. Could it be that something really happened to Pingyuan Lord Zhao Ping? Could it be that they were... fallen into a trap?
"Your Highness."
"The 100,000 troops and horses led by Pingyuan were ambushed by Qin general Li Xin in the valley on the west bank of Yishui River. They lost most of the troops and only took less than 20,000 troops with them. Now they are missing."
"Inform us first."
After dozens of breaths, Lu Zhenlang took a roll of cloth documents from the hand of the herald outside the tent and read it. Lu Zhenlang pondered first, and then handed the document to Yan Dan.
It was just as I expected.
The target of Li Xin's troops was not the Zhao State in Daidi at all, but their main force in Yannan.
"Li Xin only has 30,000 soldiers?"
Yan Dan took the document and looked at it carefully. In addition to what Lu Zhenlang said, there was another piece of news, that is, Li Xin's army did not have 100,000 soldiers at all.
Only about 30,000 soldiers.
However, he had previously lied about one hundred thousand soldiers to confuse them and made them divide an army of one hundred thousand soldiers to weaken Yannan's resistance.
hateful!
Really abominable!
Yan Dan's face was a little confused. Zhao Ping had suffered about 100,000 casualties, and the Yannan area on the front line had suffered more than 100,000 casualties. Now the results of the battle have not been shown, and the number of casualties exceeds 200,000.
"retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
Yan Dan also spoke eagerly.
Since Lord Pingyuan's silk document could be transmitted at this time, it seems that Li Xin's 30,000 troops were already waiting for them in the rear, and they were indeed attacked here.
Then there is no chance of survival.
In any case, the main force of the Yan State cannot be cut off here, otherwise, Qin General Wang Jian is very likely to send his troops northward in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Yan State.
After a stick of incense!
Military orders were issued from the shogunate one after another. Upon hearing this, the Yan State coalition forces in Yannan slowly retreated.
It seems that he has noticed something.
"Pursue with all your strength!"
On the cloud chariot in the far distance, Wang Jian held a telescope, and the scene appeared in the depths of his eyes. Immediately, he waved hard with one hand, and he did not expect that there were sharp people in the Yan army.
You can see that.
But...it's too late now.
Perhaps the various parties in the Yan Kingdom can retain some strength, but it is impossible to support the next war.
"Hi!"
"..."
Army Commander Ma Lingda, hundreds of thousands of troops once again gathered a powerful black torrent to pursue and kill those Yan troops who were fighting and retreating. If they could kill more, they would save a lot of trouble in the future.
"Mr. Gao, why do you want to retreat?"
"These Qin people have killed so many of my brothers, I must kill them all."
The swordsman in white pulled the giant man holding a big hammer and retreated towards Yishui and the north bank. He looked at the soldiers whose morale suddenly dropped, and his face was very solemn.
Although I don't know why the giant would issue such a military order, but... I think it makes sense.
"The Qin army is a tiger and a wolf, it is difficult to compete here."
"I'll kill him again later."
The white-clothed swordsman shook his head. The black arrows behind him covered the sky and blocked the sun. They all said that the Qin Kingdom's arrow array was majestic. But now, it turned out to be so.
Such an arrow formation, with the current strength of the Yan State, has not yet been able to display its foundation. Every feathered arrow is a symbol of national power. Only when the national power is strong can it suppress the formation like that.
Also, the equipment used by the Qin army in this attack caused great damage to the Yan coalition forces.
Although the Yan State had the power of fierce fire and oil, it was mostly used for defense and did not fall on the battlefield.
"hateful."
The giant man was furious.
Although I was unwilling to give in, I glanced behind me and thought about it, so I might as well leave first.
At the same time, in the depths of the jungle at a corner of the Yannan Great Wall on the north bank of the Yishui River, Li Xin's army of more than 20,000 was ambushed inside, already waiting on the retreat of the main force of the Yan Kingdom.
"Report, general, Yan is retreating."
News from the herald kept coming.
Li Xin, who was wearing silver armor and holding a long blade, was riding on a horse. Hearing this, Li Xin did not immediately give an order.
"Yan Dan is still in the army. If we can capture Yan Dan in this battle, it will be a great achievement."
"Previously, I ambushed the crippled Zhao Zhaoping on the west bank. Unfortunately, he escaped too quickly and was not captured. This time... Yan Dan must be captured no matter what."
"The Yan army has retreated and its morale is low. Wait for a while before we attack!"
Mentioning the previous ambush on the west bank, Li Xin couldn't help but regret that Zhao Ping ran too fast, killing many people but not capturing him.
This time..., Yan Dan can't run away.
This person committed a crime too quickly and must be captured.
And he was captured alive and sent back to Xianyang.
