Chapter 452: Breaking off the Tail and Escape

A large number of Qin soldiers died, which did not affect Qin too much. The key was that all the food and siege equipment were burned, which had a great impact on more than 20,000 Qin elite soldiers.

Kanghou Pass, inside the general's mansion.

Lian Po and Bater entered the conference hall side by side. Today's victory over the Qin soldiers caused the loss of more than 20,000 Qin elite soldiers and more than 150,000 Qin troops. This was a rare victory for them in many years.

"General Bater, please come in. The Yuezhi cavalry should be the first merit in today's battle. Qin has no food and no siege equipment. Retreat is inevitable. They have few horses left. It is difficult to escape from the pursuit of our 50,000 elite soldiers. I believe that the families in Handan City will have some ideas when they hear this news!" Lian Po laughed for the first time in several months, and other Zhao generals also laughed when they heard this.

Now that Qin's food and siege equipment have been burned, it is impossible to attack Kanghou Pass. Lian Po is already thinking about how to counterattack the Qin soldiers. If Hua's 30,000 Yuezhi cavalry can help, he is confident that all the Qin soldiers outside the pass will be left behind.

Everyone entered the conference hall and sat down. Many people found that Bater's position was closer to Lian Po today. Bater's battle today has shown everyone his military talent and also made everyone realize the strength of the Yuezhi cavalry.

"General Bater, today our army has completely taken the initiative. I wonder if Bater has any good strategy for the Qin army." Lian Po was the first to ask Bater for his opinion, which made everyone feel that it was natural.

"Lian Shuai is a famous general of the time. Bater came to help on the order of the head of the family. How to arrange it depends on Lian Shuai." Now that he has an advantage, Bater is sensible and does not raise any more opinions. It is a good thing to help others in times of trouble, but others may not like it if you add icing on the cake.

"Based on my understanding of Bai Qi, the fleeing soldiers will soon spread the results of this battle to all parts of Zhao. In order to eliminate the last resistance force, Qin has already gathered all its troops here. Within three days, there will be resistance forces rising in Zhao.

We need to contact the various families in Zhao that surrendered to Qin while contacting Dai. At the same time, we need to hold back the remnants of Qin and let them collapse on their own." Lian Po said so and many people nodded. Qin could not hold out for long without food.

Everyone in Kanghou Pass was happy about the war today. Some people were already discussing when King Zhao would return to the country. As long as the main force of Qin was eliminated here, the situation in the world would inevitably reverse. However, no one noticed that in the Qin army camp outside Kanghou Pass, countless figures were quietly moving southward, and the southern part of the Qin camp was dark.

When the next day dawned, the Zhao army stood at Kanghou Pass and looked at the Qin army camp below. The Qin army seemed to be slaughtering horses to satisfy their hunger after losing their food and grass. The Zhao army ignored this. As long as you don't run away, the longer you stay, the faster you will be defeated. In the afternoon, they saw some Qin soldiers escape from the camp, which proved that their guess was correct.

For three consecutive days, soldiers kept escaping from the Qin camp. Lian Po stood at Kanghou Pass and watched all this, and his eyebrows couldn't help but frowned.

From the wall of the pass, you can see countless Qin soldiers escorting some deserters. Some Qin soldiers outside the tents are dying of hunger. He got up and flew over the Qin army camp. Bai Qi quickly came up with several foundation-building realm masters.

"Mr. Lian, how are you?" Bai Qi smiled and greeted Lian Po.

"Lord Bai, you have come to this point, but you still insist. I'm afraid that the entire Zhao family has already rebelled. If you don't withdraw your troops, I'm afraid that all the elite soldiers of Qin will be lost here." Lian Po opened his mouth to test the other party. He didn't think that the other party had any chance of turning the tables.

"Lord Lian, you can send troops to attack. We will fight a decisive battle at Kanghou Pass. I have my own way to deal with Zhao's affairs." Bai Qi said with a chuckle.

Lian Po couldn't find anything unusual. He walked back to the study outside Kanghou Pass. It was obvious that Qin had run out of food. Many soldiers were lying on the ground and couldn't move because of hunger. But what were they waiting for? If they were waiting for Qin to send food and siege equipment with spiritual treasures, then what would they do with the unrest in Zhao?

Qin couldn't let the Zhao family rebel. At that time, the entire Wei State would be in chaos and Qin would not have the strength to suppress it. Thinking of this, Lian Po stopped.

"Come on, let Zhao's elite cavalry launch a large-scale tentative attack on the Qin army." Lian Po ordered.

Zhao's elite cavalry left the city, and everything in the Qin army camp was normal. There was no intention of sending troops to resist. Lian Po saw that a corner of the Qin army camp was easily broken by Zhao's elite cavalry, and he knew where the problem was!

Qin had more than 80,000 elite soldiers left, and more than 40,000 surrendered soldiers, who were active in the Qin army camp every day. They could see about 50,000 Qin soldiers, so they naturally thought that the remaining Qin soldiers were in the tent.

Although the Qin rear army granary was burned, the central army should still have some food. Those surrendered soldiers could not be so hungry that they could not get up outside the tent, so there was only one result.

Most of the Qin elite soldiers had already retreated, and there was no one in the military camp. Everyone lived outside the tent and went in and out just for show, just acting for themselves. The Qin elite troops had already left with all the food and grass in the army. He was deceived!

Thinking of this, Lian Po saw that Zhao's elite cavalry had already killed the inside of the Qin army camp in a tentative attack, and some soldiers who still had strength got up and began to flee outside.

At this time, Bai Qi took several foundation-building realm warriors to fly high in the sky. They took a look at the Qin elite soldiers who were still resisting the Zhao elite cavalry, and turned to fly south.

The gate of Kanghou Pass was opened, and the Yuezhi cavalry rushed out of the pass. Soon the Qin army camp was breached, and the battle was quelled in less than two hours.

"General Lian, there are only more than 40,000 hungry auxiliary soldiers in the Qin army camp, and there are only more than 6,000 Qin elite soldiers, half of whom are injured, and there are not many horses. The other Qin elite soldiers should have left very early." A general reported to Lian Po.

"It's my fault. The main force of the Qin elite soldiers should have left for many days. Now they should have left Kanghou Pass very far. Let the Zhao elite cavalry and the Yuezhi cavalry attack and chase the Qin elite soldiers." Lian Po shouted loudly.

The Yuezhi cavalry was the fastest, chasing 300 miles to the south. They saw traces of the Qin army camping. The Qin elite soldiers retreated in a hurry and did not deal with the traces.

The Yuezhi cavalry chased them all the way to Shuo County at noon the next day. They saw Bai Qi staring at them from the strong wall of Shuo County, and tens of thousands of Qin elite soldiers standing on the wall. Bater knew they were a step too late.

The Qin elite soldiers walked 700 miles from Kanghou Pass to Shuo County in three days, walking more than 200 miles a day, which was unimaginable for ordinary infantry. You have to know that all the soldiers were still wearing their own armor, holding weapons, and carrying their tents and food. The difficulty was beyond imagination.

The Zhao army captured more than 50,000 Qin soldiers outside the pass, and selected 20,000 of them to defend Kanghou Pass, and the rest of the prisoners were captured to defend the wall, which was their only pass.

The 30,000 Yuezhi cavalry also stayed in Kanghou Pass to help them clear all the enemy soldiers outside Kanghou Pass, and some Zhao people began to graze in the north of Kanghou Pass. Linhu State did not dare to say anything in the face of the once powerful Zhao army. Lian Po used the spiritual objects and funds they brought from Handan City to buy food, weapons and equipment from Beishan, trained new cavalry, and gradually built Kanghou Pass more and more magnificent.

The Dai State could not refuse Lian Po's goodwill. They not only sent 20,000 troops to support Kanghou Pass, but also supported Zhao State with a large amount of food, grass, cattle and sheep. In this way, the "later" Zhao State was born.

At the end of July, Wuren Tuya returned to Huacheng, Gaoliu County from Yuezhi State. Her belly was already very big. This little guy had been in his mother's belly for two years and could be born at any time.

As a master of yin and yang, Hua Kai could not calculate the time of the little guy's birth after many divinations. All feelings about him seemed very vague.

The news of the great victory at Kanghou Pass reached Gaoliu County, and Hua Kai was relieved. Kanghou Pass was not lost, so the trade route from the Hua family to the Yuezhi Kingdom was there. Although Qin was powerful, its cavalry was average. With the help of 30,000 Yuezhi cavalry, the 700-li land south of Kanghou Pass was under the control of Zhao.

Zhao Dan had no news since he arrived in Yan State, but now the various noble families who surrendered to Qin State are making a fuss, especially Handan City. The various noble families of Zhao State have been asking Qin State for the rights that the noble families should have, but Qin State has always ignored it. If Qin State returns the rights to the noble families of Zhao State, it will only make Zhao State change its regime. How can they be willing to do this?

With the news of Qin State's defeat at Kanghou Pass, the resistance of the noble families of Zhao State has become more and more serious. Many noble families began to move closer to Handan City from various counties. Because Qin State defended too many cities, Handan City only had 50,000 elite soldiers and 200,000 surrendered soldiers.

Putting down the information in his hand, Hua Kai turned his head to look at Xue Yiyu next to him. Xue Yiyu stood behind Wu Ren Tuya like an ordinary maid. Facing Wu Ren Tuya, she lost her original ease in front of Hua Kai.

"How is the current situation in Yecheng? How is the textile workshop going?" Hua Kai looked at Xue Yiyu and asked.

"My husband, I received news the day before yesterday. More than 40 yards of the textile workshop in Yecheng have started work. The wool coat workshop, woolen yarn workshop, and clothing workshop have all started work, and the leather clothing processing workshop requested by my husband will also start work in the near future." Xue Yiyu replied.

"Well, this year, there are more and more wild beasts on the road of Gaoliu County. A large part of this is caused by the Central Plains War. This winter, the defense of each city may be much more difficult. The leather and woolen clothes customized by the six legions must all be delivered before the beginning of winter." Hua Kai said.

"Don't ask about sister Yiyu's Yecheng anymore. You've been asking about Yecheng Workshop these few days since I came back. If you have time, spend more time with Yiyu. How can you stay in Tianmachang all day?" Wuren Tuya pulled Xue Yiyu in front of Hua Kai and said to him unsatisfiedly.

"The situation in the world is uncertain now. Everyone knows that Qin is determined to unify the world. We must hurry up to improve our foundations. The Huaxia Kingdom will be established in two months. By then, the goal will be bigger and bigger. We must arrange everything before then. Now the Qin government may have already set its sights on us." Hua Kai looked at Wuren Tuya and said.
