Daqin Engineering Corps

The Qin army blocked the mountain road going down the mountain and then surrounded the forest, and the remaining Zhao army was completely surrounded.

Although Yang Ting wanted to let Xu Chang go, she was unwilling to let go of these elite Zhao troops...

This is the strategic policy of the Qin army to destroy Zhao: to consume the vital strength of the Zhao army.

This policy has not changed since Bai Qi killed 40 Zhao Jun.

Consumption until now Zhao Guo has a serious imbalance between men and women, even to the point of famine due to lack of labor.

At this time, Yang Ting certainly would not let go of this great opportunity.

As soon as she pointed her spear, hundreds of trebuchets fired fireballs into the woods.

If it is said that the fortified city is relatively difficult to attack with fire, this forest is easy to catch.

Especially the leaves, as soon as a few sackcloth bombs fell on them, they would burn with a "crackling" sound.

And those leaves are next to each other.

So the fire spread quickly, and after a while, Wo Niu Mountain almost became a flaming mountain.

When Yang Ting passed Shen Bing, she whispered:

"I have ordered people to let go of the mountain road."

"Whether he can escape or not depends on his fortune."

Of course, it depends on Xuchang's good luck, and he can't still shout at the woods:

"Come out from Xuchang, I'll let you escape back to Zhao."

Only later did Shen Bing realize that his worries in this regard were unnecessary.

Xu Chang has no other abilities, but his ability to escape is extremely strong.

He did not escape from the mountain road, but escaped from the cliff by picking vines and knotting rope with a team of personal guards.

However, because he was afraid of being found out by Qin Jun and hurting himself, Xu Chang did not inform other Zhao Jun.

So nearly [-] Zhao Jun are in this forest...

Yang Ting therefore gave Wang Bai an explanation:

"The forest was set on fire, but no one escaped."

"Xu Chang's life and death are unknown."

If it is said that Wang Bo has not surrendered, then Zhao Jun may still have something to do.

Because the two thousand northern cavalry were really a serious problem for the Qin army.

The Qin army mainly lacked high-mobility combat forces as infantry.

However, the northern cavalry has been fighting the Huns in Mobei for many years, and they are well aware of the Huns' tactics of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance".

This will make Qin Jun unable to catch up, fight, and at the same time unable to shake off.

Qin Jun was overwhelmed by the disturbance but had nothing to do.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Ting is eager to recruit Wang Bai.

Wang Bai only sighed when he heard the news, and replied: "Thank you, Captain, for granting Wang's wish."

Then he kept a straight face and said nothing.

Because he knows there is no such thing as a free lunch...

Uh, in fact, there was no lunch during the Warring States Period, only morning and evening meals.

This made Shen Bing couldn't help scolding his mother, because he was always so hungry that his stomach growled in the evening.

Of course this has nothing to do with lunch.

Wang Bai knew that Yang Ting wanted something from him, and it was not a trivial matter.

Sure enough, the next second Yang Ting said:

"Captain Wang."

"Now that the battle situation has been decided, why don't we recall the two thousand fine cavalry?"

"I will also treat each other with courtesy and responsibility."

Yang Ting's words actually meant to ask Wang Bai to recruit the two thousand cavalry, but she put it mildly.

How could Wang Bai not know, he refused without thinking:

"Lieutenant Yang, forgive me."

"Wang cannot agree."

"One is that the Beidi soldiers have a strong temperament, and they are not as idyllic as Wang."

"Even if Wang went to persuade him to surrender, he was just asking for trouble."

"Secondly, their families are all in Zhaodi. If they surrender, they may lose their families."

"My Wang has already harmed them, how can I harm their family again?"

The scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

Seeing that there was wine on the table, Shen Bing sat down on the ground and poured a glass for Wang Bai and himself respectively.

Seeing that Shen Bing is so indifferent, Liu Xu was about to step forward but was stopped by Yang Ting.

Shen Bing raised his glass and said, "Lieutenant Wang, Shen Bing respects you."

Seeing Wang Bo's hesitation, Shen Bing asked, "Are you worried that this wine is poisonous?"

Wang Bo laughed: "If it's poisonous, it's exactly what Wang wants."

As he spoke, he raised his glass to Shen Bingyao and drank it down in one gulp.

After entering the mouth of the turbid wine, Shen Bing couldn't help cursing inwardly:

"I'll go, can this also be called wine?"

"It's almost like sugar water!"

But of course this is not the point at this time.

Shen Bing looked at the cup and shook his head, then asked Wang Bai:

"Lieutenant Wang, even if the family of your subordinate is not in the Northland, they are probably not far away!"

Wang Bai nodded: "Exactly, most of them are in the North."

This was not what Shen Bing expected.

Outsiders may have to get acquainted with Mobei for a few months first.

Therefore, the best source of soldiers in the north should be the people who are accustomed to the local soil and water.

For example, Wang Bo grew up in Mobei, his family was killed by the Huns and he was captured as a slave.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Bai wanted to live to see Xu Chang's end...

He has nothing to worry about, and he doesn't have to worry about hurting his family.

Shen Bing poured Wang Bai another cup and made a "please" gesture.

"According to Captain Wang's opinion."

"Will the State of Zhao stop the attack of the Qin army in this battle?"

Wang Bo thought for a while, and then replied: "One day with General Li Mu, we can protect the country of Zhao without any worries."

Shen Bing gave a thumbs up while taking a sip.

"What Captain Wang said is true."

"With General Li Mu, the country of Zhao will have no worries for a day."

"But Captain Wang has Xu Chang by his side, why can't General Li Mu have another Xu Chang by his side?"

Hearing this, Wang Bai couldn't help being stunned.

He, Wang Bo, is not as loyal and loyal as Li Mu to help the country.

But in a daze, it ended up like this.

Shen Bing poured Wang Bai another cup:

"General Li Mu not only fought against the Xiongnu in Mobei for many years."

"Also defeated the Qin army several times to keep Zhao Guo safe."

"That's why not only Captain Wang, but also the common people know that with General Li Mu, the country of Zhao will be safe for a day."

"Then, isn't General Li Mu afraid of the Lord of Great Achievements?"

Wang Bo suddenly stood up and said sharply:

"How dare you slander the general!"

"The general has served the country and the people all his life, how can you allow you to talk nonsense..."

Shen Bing interrupted Wang Bai:

"You and I believe it won't help."

"It's only possible if King Zhao believes in it."

These words immediately choked Wang Bai, because everyone knew that King Zhao was afraid of Li Mu.

Due to the long distance and the urgency of the war.

Li Mu has considerable autonomy in the Northland, he can appoint generals and expand the army by himself.

However, in recent years, King Zhao has continued to intervene in the affairs of the Northland and even forcibly dispatched and appointed generals.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is called paying attention to the war to share the worries of the North, but it is actually decentralization and surveillance.

Shen Bing also said:

"If it is at this time, I will bribe Zhao Guo's treacherous ministers and say a few words in King Zhao's ear."

"Let's say that General Li Mu supported his troops and plotted against him."

"What did Captain Wang think the ending would be?"

Wang Bai gritted his teeth and thought about it, then he knelt down and sat back on the ground.

After a long sigh, he filled himself a large glass and drank it down.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that if Qin State did this, General Li Mu would be in danger.

Yang Ting was also dumbfounded.

Where is this persuading to surrender?

This is clearly a useful plan!

And the opponent is Qin's number one enemy, Li Mu...

If Li Mu could be killed with a knife, wouldn't Zhao be in Qin's pocket? !

This... How can this be said?

Why speak out? !

Shen Bing added one last sentence:

"Captain Wang!"

"If the Zhao Kingdom is about to perish, how does the captain think he can protect his subordinate's family in the Northland?"

Chapter 35 马头山

Since then, Wang Bai has been persuaded.

This time, it was no longer a surrender that was conditional and still intending to kill and become benevolent, but a surrender that was completely convinced.

Because he knew very well that Zhao State was running out of time, and if he wanted to save his subordinates and their families, he had to surrender to Qin State.
