"That is to say, there are less than 3 soldiers in the city who can still fight in the first battle?" Ying Gang said in silence for a while.

"Don't worry, son. Although our army suffered so many casualties, the enemy's casualties are at least three times the casualties of our soldiers. And the enemy's siege equipment must be very few left now." The captain comforted.

"What I'm worried about is not the destruction of the city, but whether it's right or wrong for us to garrison this place of Xingyang desperately." Ying Gang turned his head and supported the slightly hot wall with his hands, looking at the brightly lit enemy camp from a distance, and sighed road.

"Young Master, the enemy army is at the end of the masts and sculls now. Two days have passed, as long as General Xin Sheng arrives in time, these enemy troops will definitely be defeated in one battle, and the world of Great Qin will surely restore stability again." Han Xin was excited. Said.

"That's right! As long as Xin Sheng's army reaches Xingyang casually, Zhang Liang is really finished." Ying Gang said quietly, rubbing the bumpy bricks.

At the same time, a dispute was taking place in Zhao Jun's tent.

"General Peng, give me another hour, and I will definitely be able to lead the army to conquer this Xingyang and take the head of the son of the dog emperor." Long Qi knelt down on one knee and looked at Peng Yue sincerely.

Peng Yue turned his back and said without turning his head: "Brother Longqi, you have said this to me no less than three times, right? However, Xingyang City is still intact in the hands of the Qin army. You still haven't pulled down the Qin army's banner." In the end, Peng Yue's voice gradually became harsher.

"Brother Peng Yue..."

"Enough!" Peng Yue turned around abruptly, interrupted Long Qi's words and said sharply, Peng Yue seemed to be calming down the anger in his heart, and he continued after a while.

"You can wait, but my country of Zhao can't wait any longer. Think about it carefully, if the Huns break Handan and King Zhao dies, my country of Zhao will be gone. I, Peng Yue, have already violated the military order and gave you more One night, as we have said before, if the city is not broken before dawn, I will withdraw the army. Now that the sun is about to shine, Xingyang has not been captured by you. I, Zhao Guo, will not participate in the siege of the city."

As he said that, Peng Yue looked at the soldiers outside the account and shouted loudly: "Count up your luggage and leave the camp in an hour."

After finishing speaking, Peng Yue stopped looking at Long Qie again.

Long Qi, dressed in tattered armor, stared at Peng Yue's back for a long time with red eyes, and finally hung down dejectedly, saying respectfully: "Then I wish General Peng to repel the Huns as soon as possible."

Then he got up and strode out of Peng Da's tent.

"General Peng, is it really decided?" Zhang Liang waited until Long Qie left the tent, pondered for a while and asked.

Peng Yue nodded firmly.

Zhang Liang knew Peng Yue's temperament. Now that he had made a decision, he would definitely not change it easily.

Besides, what he said was right, Handan was in danger, if he dragged him to stay in Xingyang for a little longer, Handan would be even more dangerous.

Although it is important to destroy Qin, self-protection is even more important.

"In that case, the Zifang will leave."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang left slowly.

Zhao Jun retreated, and a part of the coalition army camp was suddenly empty.The fighting heart that had been gathered with great difficulty dissipated without a trace in an instant.

Long Qi made a brief inventory, and there were only more than 6 combatable soldiers under his command. In terms of numbers, he really couldn't compete with the Qin army in the city.

If he really left all his family property here, he would not be able to explain to Xiang Yu and King Chu after returning.

But they are not willing to give up the victory that is so close at hand.

For a moment, they all fell into a tangle.

And at this moment, news came that Xin Sheng's army was coming.

He had already received the news that Xin Sheng's more than [-] troops were rushing to Xingyang to help Yinggang, so after Long Qie surrounded Xingyang City, he sent a large number of scouts to distribute within fifty miles north of Xingyang City.

Naturally, this was done to prevent Xin Sheng from unexpectedly arriving early and killing himself by surprise.

Now, obviously his preparations were not in vain, Xin Sheng really arrived early.And it wasn't a day and a half early to arrive, it was three days earlier than Zhang Liang expected.

What is the concept of three days?

In other words, under such hot weather, Xin Sheng's army ran more than 500 miles in just two days and three nights.

Long Qi was directly frightened by his own calculation!

"Can the scouts see clearly how many cavalry there are in the Qin army rushing towards Xingyang?" Zhang Liang looked at Long Qi, who was dazed beside him, and had to stand up and ask.

"Ah!" The guard outside the tent seemed to be communicating with someone, and after a while he said honestly, "My lord, the scouts hurried back to the camp when they found the cavalry, and didn't pay attention to the cavalry who was rushing towards us." How many cavalry are there?"

"Well, well, go down and rest!" Zhang Liang ordered without blaming him.

"Here!"

When the personal guard retreated, Zhang Liang smiled and said: "General, don't worry, Xin Sheng rushed to Xingyang so quickly, there must not be too many soldiers. Moreover, the weather is very hot now, even if you arrive in Xingyang, you may be exhausted, so don't worry about it." .”

Long Qi also came back to his senses at this time, and said embarrassingly: "Mister made me laugh!"

"Hehe! Qin's army is truly well-deserved of its reputation! It traveled nearly five hundred miles in two days. If we have one of such powerful troops, why worry about not being able to destroy Qin." Zhang Liang sighed.

"Indeed!" Long Qie said with deep conviction!Then he thought about it and said excitedly: "Sir, since this cavalry army must be exhausted. Can we take this opportunity to destroy the Qin army who rushed to help?"

"No!" Zhang Liang said hastily when he heard Long Qi's words, and then realized that his tone was a bit harsh.Slowly explained: "General, although there will not be too many cavalry troops coming to Xingyang, and they must be exhausted, we still can't take it lightly. Xin Sheng is also a famous general, how could he not have thought that I would ambush them later? What’s more, we don’t have too many cavalry. If we fight head-on with the Qin cavalry, we will definitely be at a disadvantage. And this cavalry is obviously only a part of the Qin army, and there will definitely be a continuous army coming from behind. If we wait to ambush Meng Tian It would be fine if we could say that this army was wiped out in one fell swoop. If Meng Tian used this cavalry army as a bait to hold back our army until the Qin army's follow-up army arrived. General, I'm afraid we will have to die carry on."

When Zhang Liang said this, he paused for a while and continued: "If the last tens of thousands of troops were left in Xingyang by the Qin army, I am afraid that Chen Jun and I will not be able to return. At that time, the general lost his troops, and the king of Chu and that How could Zhao, Qu, and Jing let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury? If so, I am afraid that the general will not be able to save our lives."

After hearing Zhang Liang's analysis, Long Qi immediately became embarrassed.

"Ashamed! Thinking about it this way, I really feel ashamed to face the general."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. From my point of view, Qin is fighting us in a corner. Even though he is powerful, can't our pack of wolves defeat him as a tiger?"

"What Zifang said is true! Very true!" Long Qie nodded and said! "Just, what should we do now?"

"General, it is time to order the whole army to move south and return to Shouchun as soon as possible! The Qin army's cavalry will surely march much faster than my infantry. I will wait as soon as possible! Otherwise, if the Qin army catches up, I'm afraid it's Shouchun that I'm about to flee all the way."

"Come here!" Long Qi heard Zhang Liang's words and thought he was shouting loudly.

"General!"

"Send an order to the Quartet Camp, and immediately break out of the camp and go south! There must be no mistakes!"

"Here!"
