"Why do you say that you have no clothes and are in the same comrade with me? Wang Xing was in the army and he repaired my spear and sword. He shared his hatred with me!"

"Why do you say that you have no clothes and you have the same vein as me? Wang Xing was in charge of my spear and halberd. He worked with me!"

"Why don't you say you don't have clothes, and you have clothes with me? Wang Xing will train my armor and soldiers. Let me walk with you!"

After the summer harvest, the land of Yanzhao was desolate, with stubble stubble everywhere, and piles of wheat straw, extending from near to the end of the field of view.

At the end of the vision, the heaven and earth are connected by vastness.

However, the singing sounds from the distant horizon are so clear. The desolate singing sounds reveal the love and desire for life, and the deep hatred for the invaders.

Xiang Zheng was slightly moved. Yan Zhao has been many generous and tragic people since ancient times, and the classics are true.

Looking back leisurely, behind him was a hundred thousand Chu army, with a tight line, advancing like a forest. The flags that fluttered in the wind almost covered the entire earth, the rows of sharp long spears almost pierced the sky, and the large dark shields formed a thick wall, rolling forward and indestructible.

But for some reason, 100,000 iron armor could not bring him a trace of safety.

Raising his right hand, Xiang Zheng clenched his fist again, and said in a deep voice: "Send the order and form a formation."

The military order was conveyed quickly, and the Chu army, which was advancing like a forest, stopped one after another. In less than a moment, a hundred thousand troops set up a strict formation in the wilderness.

At this time, the war between the two alliances of Hezong and Lianheng had already broken out in full swing. General Bai Xuan of Zhao led 100,000 Zhao troops into Guangyang, Yan State, and successively conquered Zhuo County and Ji County, and the troops were heading towards Yuyang. King Zangtu of Yan was furious when he heard the news. Before the Northern Diao Army arrived, he led more than 200,000 Yan troops to Yuyang to fight.

Then, King Xiang Zhuang of Chu ordered the crown prince Xiang Zheng to lead 100,000 troops to enter Hebei in the famous discussion of mediating disputes between Yan and Zhao.

The Han army immediately moved when they heard the news. The champion Hou Zhou Guanfu led 20,000 troops out of Tongguan and threatened Hangu Pass. The Han prime minister Bai Mo led 30,000 troops out of Hanzhong and attacked Jinniu Pass fiercely.

However, unexpectedly, not only did South Korea not respond to the imperial edict of the Han King to send troops to attack Chu, it even arrested Chen Ping, the Han Grand Tutor who was on a mission to Anyi, and was about to take it to Luoyang to show his goodwill to Chu. However, in the end, South Korea's abacus was lost. Before he arrived in Luoyang, Chen Ping died halfway through worries.

In the middle of June, the heat is as hot as a furnace, but Xiang Zheng felt a little cold.

In front of us, the desolate singing sounds are becoming clearer and clearer, and the distance is getting closer and closer. Finally, a faint brown line appears from the vast horizon. As time goes by, the brown line becomes thicker and thicker, and extends infinitely to the left and right wings, until at a certain moment, it turns into thousands of figures.

When the two armies were less than two hundred steps apart, they could finally see the appearance of the Zhao army opposite.

What kind of army is this? There are no neat armored soldiers, no forest flags, and no strict queues. Even the soldiers in the formation are all old and young, and they are uneven. Xiang Zheng clearly saw that at the front of the Zhao army formation, there were an old man with white hair and beard standing beside the old man, two and a half-year-old children.

This was obviously the three grandparents and grandchildren. The grandfather was holding a wooden rake that turned over the ground in his hand, while the two grandchildren were holding two short swords cut from bamboo. The bamboo sword in his left grandson's hand was even missing the tip of the sword. The sword body was also dark, and it was probably rushing out of the "stove" at home in a hurry.

The other Zhao army soldiers were not much better. Most of them were wearing tattered cloth clothes, and many soldiers' trousers were even tied to their knees, and their feet were still covered with mud. Obviously, they had just come up from the ground, and most of them were farming guys, and few had iron swords and halberds.

Seeing this scene, the Chu soldiers in the front row burst into laughter.

Xiang Zhuang did not laugh, and even felt a hint of coldness in his heart. Because he did not see any fear or a hint of inferiority from the faces of the Zhao soldiers, who were both young and old, and there was only Daguodao who was calm and determined to fight for the country and the king.

The Chu army may be able to destroy their sects, but cannot conquer their hearts!

Gao Lang had a serious expression and rode his horse to Xiang Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Crown Prince, I heard that the King of Zhao had issued an edict to call on the people of Zhao to rise up and fight against each other. I thought this was just a delusion, but I never thought that the Zhao people were as good as the old Qin people and the old Chu people. They really planned to fight the whole country!"

"The whole country's bloody battle?" Xiang Zheng was slightly moved, "The whole country's bloody battle!"

Gao Lang said: "Prince, if it were just the hundreds of thousands of Zhao people in front, it would be really not worth worrying. It would be easy to defeat them. But what we are worried about is that if we kill these tens of thousands of Zhao people, there will be more Zhao people coming from all directions to defend their capital, Handan. We can't kill all the men of Zhao, right?"

Xiang Zheng nodded gently and said, "Send the order and retreat!"

#############

Handan, Zhao Palace.

King Zhang Ao of Zhao was kneeling in front of the spiritual throne of the former king Zhang Er and the ancestors of the past, muttering: "The ancestors and ancestors are above, the Chu army is in the forefront, and the State of Zhao is facing an upside down... I hope that the ancestors and ancestors can show their spirits and bring down miracles, protect their descendants from disasters and turn them into good fortune, and their blessings will continue. If things go well, unfilial descendants will definitely build a large-scale construction and build the Taimiao to comfort their ancestors."

The old countries are in harmony and guarding the side of the hall. Looking at the King of Zhao who was kneeling down with his hips, he was anxious and angry. He thought to himself that the Chu army was about to reach the city of Handan. As the king, you don’t go to the city to supervise the battle but kneel down here to worship your ancestors. What’s the matter? Could it be that a few wooden signs can really protect the Great Zhao? Can it be more powerful than the bloody battles of millions of Zhao people?

Old Guangao was furious. When he was about to ambush King Zhao with a crutch, an eunuch suddenly stumbled in and said in a silence: "King, you are so happy, how are you so happy..."

"Nonsense!" Guan Gao said furiously, "The Chu army is in a hurry, and Zhao State has worries about being upside down, so why are you happy?"

"Uh..." The eunuch was frightened and dodged the crutches that Guan Gao fought, and repeatedly said, "No, the old prime minister heard from my servant's explanation. He just received a report that the Chu army had retreated to Ye County."

"What?" Guan Gao was stunned when he heard this and said in disbelief, "Has the Chu army retreated?"

Guan Gao was indeed a little unbelievable. Just because of the army that was armed in a hurry by more than 100,000 hastily? In Guan Gao's view, it cannot even be called an army. Most of them are untrained farmers, either old or young, with neither armor nor weapons. If it is an army, it is a gild on his face, and it is simply a group of mobs.

The strength of the Chu army is famous all over the world. The hundreds of thousands of mobs can defeat the 100,000 Chu army?!

"That's right, old prime minister, king, the Chu army has indeed retreated!" The eunuch nodded repeatedly, excited.

King Zhang Ao of Zhao finally came back from his great shock, and then he was overjoyed and jumped and said, "Ha, the Chu army has retreated, haha, the ancestors have appeared, the ancestors have appeared!" After that, Zhang Ao grabbed Lao Guangao's clothes again and said excitedly, "I want to build a large-scale construction and build the Taimiao, ha."

There had just been a heavy rain near Yuyang, and Bai Xuan was patrolling the camp surrounded by more than ten personal soldiers.

The first half of the month, the battle against Yan was very smooth, and it was unusually smooth. Due to the lack of defense in the Yan army, even the old man who had been through many battles, Zangtu, did not expect that the Zhao army would dare to take action first, so he was caught off guard and lost his troops and territory. In less than half a month, the Zhao army fought to Yuyang County.

Bai Xuan’s intention was very clear, which was to defeat Yan State in one fell swoop before the Yan army completed its preparations!

In order to defeat Yan State as soon as possible, Bai Xuan devoted all 100,000 elite troops who had been trained into the army to the battlefield of Yan State. As for Zhao State's local defense, he used the bloody battle of the whole country to delay the Chu army as much as possible and consume the Chu army. When the Yan State was defeated here, he could free up his hands and give the exhausted Chu army a fatal blow.

Bai Xuan's strategic intentions were impeccable, but unfortunately they underestimated the strength of the Yan army, and even more seriously underestimated the assembly ability and long-distance raid capabilities of the Northern Diao Cavalry.

After losing several strong cities such as Zhuo County, Ji County and the entire Guangyang County, the Yan army finally built a solid defense line in Yuyang. The Zhao army attacked hard for more than half a month and was unable to break the city. However, the Bei Diao Cavalry arrived in Yuyang on the tenth day. Looking at the Hu Qi swept through the mountains and fields in the rolling smoke, Bai Xuan knew that it was in trouble.

With the arrival of the Northern Diao Cavalry, reinforcements from various counties in western Liaoning, Shanggu and Youbeiping arrived continuously. The Yan army quickly changed from defense to attack, while the Zhao army was forced to move into defense.

At this time, the Zhao army was already in a dilemma and it was difficult to get rid of the tiger. If it retreated to Zhao, the Yan army and the Northern Diao Army would definitely follow and chase and attack Zhao. In this way, the Zhao army would face the north and south attacks from the Yan army, the Northern Diao Army and the Chu army, and be attacked from both sides. The situation would become extremely dangerous. If you don’t retreat, Bai Xuan was really worried that Handan would fall.

Although the King of Zhao had issued an edict to fight the whole country, Bai Xuan knew very well how strong the combat effectiveness of the Chu army was. If the Chu army really attacked Zhao State desperately, even if all the males in Zhao State were fighting for nothing, even if they shed all the last drop of blood from Zhao State, it would be impossible to stop the Chu army. Bai Xuan knew that Handan would never last long.

"General, General..." When inspecting the front army camp, Deputy General Zhao Wushang suddenly chased after him out of breath. When he arrived in front of Bai Xuan, he held his breath and said anxiously, "General, he just received a flying report from Handan. The Chu army attacked Handan, but he had not yet retreated to Ye County."

"Hey, the Chu army retreated to Ye County?" Bai Xuan was displeased and surprised when he heard this. "This move is very abnormal."

Deputy General Zhao Wushang was stunned, and then comforted Bai Xuan again and said, "General, no matter what, the Chu army has withdrawn after all. We don't have to worry about Handan for the time being, so we can deal with the Yan army and the Northern Diao army without any worries."

"Well, this is true. If you don't defeat the Yan army and the Northern Diao army, everything will be a mirror and a water moon." Bai Xuan nodded and asked Zhao Wushang again, "How are the equipment you have built?"

Zhao Wushen hurriedly said, "Don't worry, General, it has been built."

"Okay." Bai Xuan said, "Then the decisive battle tomorrow!" (To be continued)
