Chapter 382 Riot
The long wind blows the grass, and the Zhangshui flows eastward.

The battle ahead has not yet been heard, and a haze has already shrouded Zhao's Great Wall.

Standing beside Zhao Shuang, Wei Liao was heading for the next destination in the crowd and under the escort of Zhao soldiers.

"It seems that the battle ahead has been decided!"

Wei Liao said in a low voice, it didn't matter.In fact, whether it is Zhao Sheng or Qin Sheng, Wei Liao doesn't care, instead he has a mentality of watching the excitement.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined the corvee team and moved bricks with Zhao Shuang.

Zhao Shuang glanced around. Judging from the behavior of Zhao Jun's soldiers today, even if Zhao Jun's top management wanted to hide it, the people below noticed something?
The current soldiers of the Zhao army are not as relaxed and comfortable as they were when the Hu Zhe army went south that day, but they are a little anxious.

What victory brings is completely different from failure.Not long ago, Zhao Jun soldiers guarding the Great Wall received an order to suspend the delivery of materials to the front line, and soon, they were asked to reload the materials that had already accumulated.

But this time, the transportation direction is north to Handan.

……

A little bit of detail told Zhao Jun's soldiers that the battle ahead was not all smooth sailing, and something happened.

Hearing Wei Liao's words, Zhao Shuang smiled.Even though no news has been received from the front line for the time being, judging from some accidents, the answer is already known.

They were taken to a pass by Zhao Jun.

The Great Wall in the south of Zhao State was built along the Zhangshui River, and a long bridge stood in front of this pass to connect the north and the south.Around the long bridge, there are small piers and boats gathered.

But now, when Zhao Shuang and others arrived, a lot of corvees had already gathered in front of the long bridge, waiting.

First, a carload of supplies that had just been distributed not long ago returned and passed the Zhangshui Long Bridge.Then, a large number of ships gathered here one after another, and the corvee workers began to load and unload the materials and transport them back.

However, those small boats did not return after the transportation was completed, but were moored beside the pier, floating alone.

Everything was peaceful at first, but the real change started in the afternoon when Zhao Shuang arrived here.

First, a team of Zhao Qi passed here in a hurry.Their organization is intact, but their morale is quite low.Without saying anything, after handing over to the captain of this pass, he headed north.

Soon after, another group of infantry came here.Compared with the cavalry, they were very embarrassed and had a large number of people. They discarded their armor and weapons, and came in a hurry with only one Zhao Jun's flag.

As soon as he passed the long bridge, he asked the captain guarding the gate for water and food. Obviously, he hadn't eaten for a long time.

At this time, no matter how dull a person is, he is aware of the problem.

Anxiety began to permeate the corvee, and everything seemed very flustered.But the captain guarding the pass, after listening to the words of the commander with the highest military rank among the infantry, his complexion was not right.

"A group of soldiers from the Zhao army is missing. It seems that the Zhao army is about to burn the bridge."

Wei Liao bent over, carried the box, and whispered in Zhao Shuang's ear.

The corvee is doing menial work, but Zhao Jun's soldiers have never done anything in recent days.But now, a group of Zhao soldiers disappeared, and Wei Liao seemed to have seen the end.

"Above Zhangshui, there is more than one bridge. This is neither the largest nor the first one to leave the battlefield. It seems that Zhao Jun's situation is not good!"

In the sky, a bird approached.Zhao Shuang looked up, Mo Ya sent a message, Qin Jun's vanguard was only an hour away from here.

"What are you looking at?"

Wei Liao was beside him, a little strange.Zhao Shuang smiled and turned his head.

"Brother Wei Liao, what do you think of this battle?"

"I don't know the battle ahead right now. However, Zhao Jun has obviously made the worst plan and burned the bridge to block Qin Jun's edge."

At this moment, a loud shout came from the ear.

"Look, it's there."

Thick black smoke rose from the river bank several miles away, and the uneasiness in the hearts of all the corvees burst out.

For a time, the voices were full of people.

That's where the downstream bridge is, and everyone knows what happened.

Zhao Jun started to burn the bridge!

what does this mean?
The group of Zhao Jun soldiers who were just like the master began to go off in person, smashing and sinking the boats gathered around the pier.

And the soldiers of the disappearing Zhao army began to turn around, and returned to the front of the pass with several carts of goods, loaded with kerosene, thatch and other fire starters.

Wei Liao glanced at Zhao Shuang, then stroked his beard.

"It seems that Qin Jun can only stop."

Wei Liao knew very well that even if the Qin army could defeat the Zhao army, their numbers did not have an advantage.

Once the bridge and boats are destroyed, the shore of the Baili River will lose its fulcrum.

The Qin army either rebuilt the floating bridge, or transferred ships from Dongjun and Hanoi.The former is not easy. Zhao Jun is on the north bank and will not let Qin Jun build the bridge so quickly.As for transferring ships from other places, it is impossible to do it in a short time.

Although the Zhao army is defeated, the Qin army is also alone. Over time, changes will inevitably occur.

Wei Liao looked at Zhao Shuang, he seemed to be waiting for something?
"At this moment, unless God favors it, it rains. Otherwise, it may be difficult to make a turnaround."

Zhao Shuang listened to Wei Liao's words, looked up at the sky, the sky was clear.There were still a few defeated soldiers on the other side, but they were not in a hurry, and they passed the long bridge in an orderly manner.

"Zhao Jun is more decisive than I thought."

"What does Mr. Hanyang want?"

It's getting late, at most half an hour, the Qin army will arrive.But at this time, Zhao Jun had already laid fire starters such as reeds and thatch on the bridge, and began to pour fire oil.

"Mr. Wei is going to Qin as an envoy for Wei at this time, but for Qin to attack Zhao. And once the two countries enter a war, Wei can relax a lot."

"indeed so!"

"If Qin's army stops in Zhangshui, then they will inevitably retreat. It seems that it is not what the husband wants."

"indeed so!"

"Then can you swim?"

"Jun Hanyang said this, I am from Daliang, and I am familiar with water."

"Then I understand!"

Zhao Shuang nodded, and just when Wei Liao was a little puzzled, he raised his hand and roared.

"My lord, I found a spy."

Under Wei Liao's astonished gaze, Zhao Shuang avoided Wei Liao's side as quickly as possible and found the nearest centurion.

"My lord, he is a spy of Qin."

"what happened?"

"Let me tell you, I've noticed something is wrong with this kid a long time ago. He didn't know who he told him just now, but Qin Jun will be here soon, so get ready. That's not a spy, what could it be?"

As soon as Zhao Shuang's words fell, a large black shadow in the distant field of vision came towards here with a huge sense of oppression.

"There is a spy of the Qin army. Quick, catch him."

The centurion shouted, before the long bridge, the riots started.

Wei Liao glanced at Zhao Shuang who was hiding behind others, and cursed in his heart.

"Boy, I really have you."

For a moment, Lieutenant Zhao Jun's nerves tightened.Why at this time?
Seeing that the Qin army was approaching, the spy was agile and dodged from left to right.The captain was anxious and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry about the defeated soldiers on the other side, burn the bridge first..."

Before the captain finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain behind him and fell to the ground.Then, another voice came from among the crowd.

"Qin Jun's spies made the captain, everyone, run away!"

Accompanied by the sound of panic, a large number of corvees began to rush towards the pass, breaking up the orderly Zhao army.

When Zhao Jun's defeated soldiers rushed to the bridge, no one cared about the firelights on the bridge, only anxious to cross the bridge.An altar of kerosene was kicked over and smashed, and Zhao Jun's officers could no longer control the situation.

For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic, and no one paid any attention to the spy who was first discovered and now jumped into the water to escape.

And the whistleblower glanced at the cavalry of the Qin army who were getting closer, turned around, mixed in with the crowd, and fled to Handan.
