At the turn of autumn and winter, before the news of Chu's destruction came out, Zhao's red army had quietly entered the Chu border and arrived at the rear of the Qin army...

The State of Zhao planned to send troops to the State of Chu at this time to put an end to the situation.

The two armies were exhausted from the battle. The Zhao army had also thoroughly figured out the trump cards hidden by the Qin and Chu armies. If they don't send out troops this time, when will they do so?

The joke that Queen Zhao and Houqing made in the court was actually true.

He sent 200,000 troops to the State of Qin, firstly as a test and secondly as a ploy to conceal his true intentions. He also quietly sent 200,000 troops to the State of Chu secretly, but they were the real cavalry and elite crossbow troops of the State of Zhao.

.

This is exactly like the mantis stalking the cicada, with the sparrow behind.

The remaining troops were left in the State of Zhao to deal with the Qin army's attack. The main general of this attack on Zhao was King Zihuang of Wei, and the military advisor was King Zhao's fellow disciple Xiangbo Xunhuo. Everyone speculated that the State of Qin had sent all the main forces to

He put it aside to attack Zhao, while the regent of Qin supported Chu with all his strength.

When Hou Qing received a letter from Chen Fan not long after, he was vaguely aware of some problems. He both believed and disbelieved the contents of the secret letter, but he was unprepared. No matter which country lost, both countries would be his spoils.

"Huanxian..."

On the burned platform of Qin Guoying Village, Baili Peinan gave Mo Jing good medicine, then stood up and walked towards Chen Baiqi. She stood on a high place, the blood on her body had dried up to brown-black, and on the hard silver armor, there was a small white jade face.

Expressionless, the wind blew her hair, and the faint sunlight outlined her coldness.

She had gone out with Chu Cangyue's body before, but she was alone when she came back. Now that the war between Qin and Chu has subsided, Chu's army was dead and captured, and they no longer had the strength to resist and fight, especially when Chu

When the army learned that the King of Chu was dead, they all felt as if they were dead. They suddenly lost their fighting spirit and strength, so the final casualties of the war in Qin were fewer than expected.

After the Chu army was defeated, the city of Ying was in chaos. Chen Bai ordered all the troops to surround the city of Ying, but he did not take the opportunity to invade and occupy it, as if he was waiting for something.

The people in the city were panicked, and for a while they couldn't figure out what the Qin army was up to.

Some people speculated that... they were planning to massacre the city?!

All kinds of rumors spread into the country, and the people of Chu were frightened and cried to the heavens and the earth.

But Chen Baiqi did not send anyone to stop the crazy rumors, and still let the army rest outside the city, while she was stationed here in Yuntai.

"Shan Chief, my name is Bai Qi." She said calmly without turning her head.

Baili Penan didn't argue with her about this. He already knew who she was. He said: "Your injury..."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly looked at her expression, but saw that her expression was as calm as the wind and clouds had dispersed, as if the scene of mourning in the fire last night was just an illusion.

"His sword missed the mark and missed the vital point."

Even at the moment when he hated her the most, he never thought of actually killing her.

Is it really okay for such a heavy sword to pierce the chest?

Baili Peinan didn't believe it, and his elegant jade eyes looked over her body. It could be seen that she was indeed moving freely, her face was as usual, and except for the large and terrifying blood stain, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

He sighed softly: "You and King Chu..."

"Chief, you shouldn't have come here. Next, you may have to be frightened on the battlefield for a while." She suddenly interrupted him.

Turning around, her dark eyes were quiet and clear, but they contained deep meaning.

Baili Penan was stunned and looked into her eyes.

What does this mean?

"Calculating the time, it's almost time to arrive."

After getting off the cloud platform, a galloping horse in the distance kicked up dust and rushed over the ruins. He stumbled and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down with his fists clasped in his hands, but the scout came to report: "Report - yes, there is a large army coming from Tongziguan in the west.

If you come here, you will arrive near Nantang County in less than half an hour."

Baili Peinan was surprised at first, and then looked at Chen Baiqi sharply.

Suddenly she realized what she just said...had she expected it?

At this time, Wang Jian came over with several generals. They were all in a state after a battle. Their armor was damaged, their hair was messy, and their faces were stained with black gray and blood. They were holding their helmets and panting: "Is it possible that there are still people in Chu State?"

Reinforcements?”

Chen Baiqi shook his head and told them directly: "It's Zhao Jun."

Everyone was stunned, and it took them a while to react.

"Zhao, Zhao Kingdom?! They... Grandma is stupid. Aren't these Zhao dogs being held back by the Right Prime Minister and the others? Why are they sending troops here?!"

"How many troops can be estimated?"

This call was for the scouts ahead.

He quickly replied: "About 200,000 people. The forwards are elite Zhao cavalry, and there are also bows and crossbows. They are all equipped with light equipment and can move very fast."

This number suddenly made Wang Jian and the others' faces darken.

More than 200,000. In the battle with the Chu army, the Qin State had a total of about 300,000 troops. Now there are only a hundred thousand left to fight, and about one-third of them were injured and disabled. In addition, they can be said to have tried their best.

In the First World War, when such a will was relaxed and exhausted, how could it cope with the powerful Zhao army?

Everyone suddenly felt like their eyes were in darkness.

At this time, a clear but calm voice, like a ray of light, dispersed the darkness blocking them.

"The whole army is stationed in front of the capital of Ying. They must not disturb the people, nor allow the people in the city to cause trouble and escape from the city."

They looked at the Taifu in astonishment.

Taifu, what does Taifu mean?

They defend the city, so who will send troops to resist the Zhao army's attack?

Baili Penan looked tense, grabbed her, and said with a low trembling voice: "Bai Qi, what are you going to do?"

In his excitement, he called her by her real name.

Bai Qi?

Isn't the Taifu's name "Chen Rui"?

But having said that, they seemed to have heard the name Bai Qi somewhere.

Without being distracted for a moment, they immediately focused all their attention on the next arrangements.

"Master, do you have other plans?"

Chen Baiqi looked at the loess hills in the distance of Yuntai. The red sun confused the boundary between heaven and earth into one piece, creating a scene of tranquility and splendor. Every day would be a new day.

"Your frontline mission has been completed. Leave the rest to me."

"Master..."

She covered Baili Penan's hand, squeezed it tightly, and then pulled it off. Baili Penan's heart trembled because of the residual warmth in her hand.

"Protect the people of Yingdu City for me, as well as Zuo Cheng. I will leave the rear to you, and I will protect you from the front."

She jumped into the air from the cloud platform, and with a whistle, a cold, snow-white war horse leaped straight up from the slope. Chen Baiqi sat astride it, one man and one horse galloping back and forth like a white arrow. Soon, the clear

The figure turned into white dots. On the vast yellow land, a burst of yellow dust rumbled up like smoke. From behind her, a large number of black troops surged around her like a wave, gradually forming a scale of tens of thousands. Thousands of people continued to rush behind her.

, they ran on foot and were able to run alongside the galloping horses.

The total sum of them would definitely not exceed the 50,000-strong army, but at this moment, the Qin army standing on the cloud platform and looking out felt a more majestic and spectacular shock than the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops.

"Then, is that the legendary Taifu, Taifu's secret private army, the Netherworld Army?" They stared at it stupidly like a piece of wood and asked indifferently.

There was a messenger from the Wu clan in the army. He pulled him to the front and pointed it out to others excitedly: "It's Bai, Bai Qijun. The one who runs faster than a horse is Bai Qijun. They are all the followers of the Holy Lord."

!”

Someone said in a dreamy and incredible tone: "Taifu, Taifu is planning to fight against Zhao's 200,000 troops with less than 50,000 troops?"

They didn't know why their scalps felt numb when they heard it.

Impossible?

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible, but whenever they meet their Taifu, they always find that nothing is impossible. She is like a miracle, refreshing their outlook and knowledge time and time again.

Baili Peinan's plain hand caressed the back of her other hand. Her chest was a little tight, but her eyes were determined: "She will win."

He would indeed worry about her uncontrollably, but at the same time he would believe her, just like every time before.

She said that she wanted him to trust her, but he hasn't had time to tell her yet.

He has learned it.

——

The Zhao army was marching into the hinterland of Chu with high spirits. The spies in the city sent a signal and it was conveyed all the way to them. The Chu army was defeated and the Qin army was already vulnerable. Naturally, it was time for their Zhao army to show off their power.

!

"Stop—"

The cavalrymen who were leading the way urgently reined in their horses and shouted to stop. The sound was transmitted layer by layer. The 200,000 Zhao army stopped in the shortest possible time without causing any chaos and was in good order.

"Who's blocking the way?"

The commander of the Zhao army was Zhendong General Gong Li. Although he was not a famous general in the Zhao State, he was a general that the King of Zhao deliberately concealed. His leadership level was by no means inferior to that of veteran generals such as Qi Ran.
