The fire dragon clearly indicated the position of the Qin army. Jia Yan ordered the bonfires in his camp to be extinguished. All the soldiers adjusted their positions in the darkness. As soon as the Qin army approached, they fired at the fire with all their strength. Unexpectedly, Bai Qi saw Zhao's camp.

The bonfire was extinguished, and his own torches were ordered to be extinguished. Both sides had no choice but to grope in the darkness. Only the intermittent sound of drums and bells informed the other party of their positions.

There were also bursts of shouts of killing in the distance, which was the main force of the Wei army fighting Wei Ran. The Wei army's North City Army was a force controlled by Mang Mao himself, with 10,000 soldiers and about 80,000 civilian troops. After Mang Mao disappeared,

The generals of the military soldiers took over the command. Although some civilian soldiers panicked and fled under the cover of night, under the suppression of the military soldiers, the military camp stabilized and went into battle. Neither side launched a charge, but were only a stone's throw away.

, shouting loudly; occasionally shooting arrows at each other. The general was worried that Wei Ran was waiting for Bai Qi to deal with the rear army, and attacked from both front and rear, so he sent a warning to the rear.

In fact, Bai Qi's army did not need to patrol: the Qin army attacking Zhao Jun extinguished their torches, but the two fire dragons attacking Wei Jun's rear army did not extinguish it, and were still moving forward steadily. Although it looked like they were squirming from a distance, they

Their positions were clear at a glance. The two fire dragons were heading north-east, making it difficult for General Wei to figure out which army it would attack: flanking the Beicheng Army? flanking the East City Army? jointly attacking the Zhao Army? The fire dragons squirming in the darkness, invisible.

attracted all the attention.

Suddenly, fire appeared behind the Beicheng Army. While everyone was still shocked and making judgments, the fire spread from west to east. Everyone finally saw that the military camps were set on fire: camp fences, vehicles, food and grass... The Beicheng Army was under the fire.

, the deployment was nowhere to be seen. The military general was desperate: he had been tricked by Wei Ran. Wei Ran was not waiting for Bai Qi's help at all, but took the initiative to send an army to his rear. In despair,

He ordered the drums to be beaten, preparing to deliver a desperate blow.

The military soldiers rushed forward, followed by the civilian army. In the firelight, their figures were very clear; on the contrary, the position of the Qin army was blurred.

Naturally, Wei Ran would not let go of such an obvious advantage. He used the sound of drums to order the front row to get out of the way of the soldiers, and rained down bursts of arrows on the heads of the civilian soldiers. The civilian soldiers without protective equipment were killed piece by piece.

Shot down. The soldiers who rushed out a hundred steps also came into contact with the Qin army in the rear row. However, the Qin army did not fight with them. Instead, they slowly retreated under the guidance of the bell, forcing the soldiers to dare not turn around to rescue them.

And step by step away from the civilian army.

Death threatened the civilian army that rushed forward. Finally, they were overwhelmed by fear and collapsed with a scream. Then Wei Ran's army also started harvesting mode.

The soldiers who were advancing step by step noticed a black shadow appearing behind them. Although they were well-trained, they couldn't help but attack from both front and back. In the difficult situation, they changed into a round formation and resisted desperately, but after a hail of arrows, they completely lost the battle.

Ability, and eventually all were beheaded.

When the Beicheng Army collapsed, Dongcheng General's civilian army was almost all gone, and only a thousand soldiers were still there. The Dongcheng Army General had no choice but to lead the thousand soldiers to retreat eastward to the Great Wall. Not far from the camp, he

They encountered a Qin army. Neither side knew the enemy's situation, so they had to shout and fight together.

Jia Yan, who was confronting Bai Qi in the camp, heard shouts from behind the camp and suddenly woke up. Bai Qi had sent troops to bypass him. He immediately issued an order, and the three armies took turns to cover and retreated in turn.

A thousand soldiers alerted the enemy and saved Zhao Jun's life. When the Qin Army's roundabout troops arrived, the roundabout had turned into a frontal attack. Although the Qin Army launched an attack, it was defeated without any suspense due to its inferior strength.

Repelled.

The sky gradually dawned. The situation of the battlefield was clearly presented in front of everyone. All the Wei troops had collapsed. The soldiers who had previously escaped under the cover of darkness were completely exposed to the Qin army after dawn and became their targets for beheading and meritorious deeds. Some of them were beheaded.

Some begged for mercy, some ran away, some lay down, and some took up arms to resist, but the result was the same: they were stabbed, hooked, and finally beheaded by the Qin army. The Zhao army, which had been confronting Bai Qi, completely withdrew.

The battlefield is ten miles away.

Bai Qi ordered the three armies that were entangled with Zhao Jun at night to continue chasing Zhao Jun. He drove to Wei Ran. Wei Ran's tent was set up on a slightly higher barren hill, and he sat casually on the ground.

Five officers from each army were sitting on either side of him. Naturally, he could see Bai Qi's movements clearly. Seeing that his troops continued to chase Zhao Jun, and he was coming towards him, Wei Ran said to the generals: "Wu'an

When you arrive, we will welcome you!"

Everyone got off the mound and came out to welcome him. When Bai Qi saw Wei Ran coming out to greet him, he jumped out of the car from a distance, ran up and saluted him.

Wei Ran said: "Jun Wu'an has worked hard!"

Bai Qi said: "Marquis Rang has worked hard!"

Wei Ran said: "Wu'an Jun attacked Huayang and destroyed Zheng's army. His contribution is not small. I should congratulate him."

Bai Qi said: "A mere 20,000 ears. Marquis Yan Ruorang defeated the Wei army of 180,000!"

Wei Ran said: "How can we get so many, but only 80,000."

Bai Qi said: "Zhao's army is thirty thousand, and I am willing to attack and destroy it!"

Wei Ran said: "Zhao Jun, you little thief, why should you care!"

Bai Qi said: "My merits are not as good as those of Ranghou, and the army is not convinced. I am willing to attack the Zhao army to build up my merits!"

Wei Ran said: "I see that you have ordered the army to pursue you. Although I want to seize your power, what can I do?"

Bai Qi said: "Thank you Marquis Rang for your success!"

Wei Ran said: "There are many waterways on the way of Zhao Jun, so we need to be careful!"

Bai Qi said: "I would like to teach you!" He bowed and left.

Wei Ran watched Bai Qi get into the car and speed away.

Wei Ran said to himself: "King Zhao is guilty of this crime, what can he do?"

Although there were small rivers on Zhao Jun's retreat route, they were not an obstacle to a large army. It was not until he encountered the chasm leading from Yingkou that he had some trouble. In order to find an area where he could wade across, he had to walk a little.

It took some time. Bai Qi speeded up at this time, as if he wanted to use the river to cause some trouble for the Zhao army. So after crossing the chasm, Jia Yan left a thousand-man army behind, preparing to take advantage of the river to delay the Qin army.

The speed of pursuit was high. In the process of retreating, he had sent many military envoys to the bank of the Yellow River and notified the Zhao army on the other side to sail to respond.

The Qin army rushed to the shore and found that Jia Yan had placed his troops beside rocks or earthen pits of different heights in the grass, just outside his range. He was a little annoyed, but had no choice but to prepare for the battle according to the procedure of forcible crossing. Choose

Five thousand people came out and were divided into five groups to cross the river. When the first group entered the water, almost an hour had passed. These one thousand people did not wear armor and only carried small shields and hand halberds. The following four groups each

Twenty steps into the water, they didn't even have shields, they all carried halberds or spears.

Jia Yan ordered to shoot arrows. At a distance of a hundred steps, each man shot ten arrows from various directions. Although he achieved considerable results, it did not slow down the Qin army's advance. Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, Jia Yan had no choice but to

Before the Qin army came ashore, they led their troops to evacuate the river bank.

The Qin army that crossed the river did not pursue them, but sent out warnings on all sides to cover the army's crossing of the river.

Thirty thousand Qin troops crossed the river in a mighty manner. It took another hour to reorganize their troops, and it was almost dark again.

Bai Qi asked his five senior officials, "Does Jia Yan, your Daoist, have to cross the river at night?"

The fifth doctor said: "That must not be the case. You would be crossing the river at night and feeding yourself with fish and turtles!"

Bai Qi laughed loudly and said, "I want them to cross at night, but they have to do it!" He ordered the troops to take a rest, eat some dry millet, drink some water, and set off in the dim light of day.

Jia Yan caught up with the brigade. The troops had already marched to the Jishui River, but no boat came to meet them. An ominous feeling came to Jia Yan's heart. He quickly sent out military envoys to look for it. Soon the military envoys reported back that Jishui

A large number of Qin troops appeared at the junction of the Yellow River and had blocked the passage of the Yellow River into Ji. General Dan led his troops to the Yellow River to take boats.

When Jia Yan left, the Qin army's forwards had already crossed the chasm, and his troops stayed by the Jishui River for a long time. He had no time to think about other countermeasures, so he simply consulted the generals for their opinions and ordered to go along the Jishui River.

Go up the river.

After traveling for more than twenty miles, Jia Yan saw the situation in Jishui: on the other side of the river was the Qin army, numbering about ten thousand people; on this side of the river was the Zhao army who came to meet them, numbering only two to three thousand. The two armies faced each other across the river, each with their own strength.

Holding a crossbow. It is safe for ships to sail along the river bank here. Whenever they enter the middle of the river, they will be violently shot by the Qin army. Not to mention the casualties, even the huge impact of the crossbow is enough to kill

The boat was spinning in the river. Therefore, Zhao Jun could only dock the boat on the bank of the Yellow River next to Jikou in order to avoid the Qin army's attack and control a relatively safe ferry.

By the time Jia Yan arrived at the ferry, it was already dark. Jia Yan issued a warning and discussed crossing the river with the general who came to meet him.

Knowing that the Qin army was behind him, the general suggested to Jia Yan that he must kill the Qin army before he could cross the river, otherwise he would suffer heavy casualties. Jia Yan naturally knew this, but he looked at it and had not rested since last night until now. He had been in a tense battle.

Zhao Jun was in such a state that he could not make up his mind to fight. He said to the general: "We have not had any rest since night. We have been fighting hard all day long and our troops are all exhausted. If we try to meet the enemy, we may not be able to support them."

The general said: "There are 300 boats, but they can't cross more than 3,000 people each time. We have to go back and forth ten times before we can cross. It's already dusk, and there's only one crossing." Jia Yan looked at the boats with no end in sight, thinking that he could only do it.

That was it. He ordered the wounded to board the ship first. When the three hundred ships were full and set sail, the sentry came to report that the Qin army was ten miles away. Jia Yan quickly ordered the rear army to prepare for battle. He was anxious by the river.

He watched the three hundred ships slowly rowing to the other side, docking, unloading the wounded, and then rowing over again. Jia Yan wanted the second group of crew members to board the ship. The general said: "It is already dark, and the wind and waves are high on the river.

, Do not cross at night.”

Jia Yan said: "If we can't cross, we will have to fight Qin."

Before the words were finished, the rapid beating of drums, the sound of bowstrings and shouts came from the rear army.

Since the Zhao army's position was close to Jishui on one side, the Qin army could not outflank it on both sides, but it still penetrated through from the left wing. Jia Yan had no choice but to send troops to intercept. Then he said to the general: "General, wait and see, a little later, we will cross the ferry."
