274 The Battle Situation Out of Control

"Boss...you kill me, I didn't stop me."

That night, Li Ling came at the temporary camp of the Sixty-Fifth Army, and he and Ji Ba's battlefield hospital were all here.

After seeing Li Ling, Zhao Xin knelt directly in front of Li Ling, with military orders everywhere. It was not that he did not arrive at the preset area in advance, but that he did not stop him. Not only did he not stop him, but he did not even do it for a day to delay the enemy.

"Okay, it's not your fault, I know you've tried your best."

Li Ling saw the tragic situation of the Sixty-Fifth Army. He didn't blame Zhao Xin, but he could only blame himself if he blamed him. He did not prepare in advance. In fact, the troops should have been mobilized first, rather than dragging them until Meng Tian and others started attacking the Xiongnu royal court.

This era is not comparable to the world two thousand years later, and the transmission of military orders is too slow.

But this cannot be said that Li Ling's arrangement has a big problem. In fact, Li Ling's idea was to ask Wang Jian to lead the main force to find an opportunity to attack the Chu State. Li Ling's original idea was that if the Zhao army found that the main force of the Huns was about to run away, he would definitely come out of seclusion and pursue it. In that case, it would be too late to adjust the deployment.

But Li Ling did not expect that the main Huns had received the news so early and retreated so resolutely. He did not expect that the Zhao army would be so cowardly!

"Yang Duanhe."

"The last one will be there."

"I want you to build a line of defense for me here, and then clear out all enemies east of the line of defense until the border of Zhao."

"No... won't chase after me?"

Hearing Li Ling's arrangement, Yang Duan and Shinkang frowned. After chasing for so long, the 65th Army suffered so much losses. There is no news from the Expeditionary Force yet, so it is really hard to understand that it will not chase after it at this time.

"I won't chase you anymore! Meng Tian and his team followed the plan to attack the Xiongnu royal court and walked into the western front of the Yuezhi Kingdom and then returned to Longxi. Now our main task is to deal with the situation in the Chu Kingdom."

"Chu State? But I heard that General Wang Jian has also brought the main force here. There should be not many troops in the south, right? Can we defend it?"

When they heard that there might be something wrong with Chu, Yang Duan and Zhao Xin were both nervous. They were leading troops outside to fight and did not know much about the situation in other directions, but they also knew about the general deployment. Now that even Li Ling has arrived here, Wang Jian has led the main force to enter the territory of the Huns. Isn’t the whole south completely empty?

"I have just arranged someone to order Wang Jian to return to Gaocheng, I hope it's not too late."

The purpose of Li Ling's visit was to command the battle himself, and to completely annihilate the Huns' army before solving the problem of Chu, but he was one step too late. Now that the Huns' army has withdrawn, he can only change the combat deployment again and focus on the Chu side.

Li Ling felt a little powerless, this was a sense of powerlessness that was not controlled by himself.

He was the one who planned to attack the Xiongnu royal court, he was the one who realized that Chu might have any action, and he was the one who attacked the main force of the Xiongnu from the whole line.

But all this, from the initial determination to achieve it, to the later time being one step late, things are slowly leaving his control.

After condolences to the frontline officers and soldiers, Li Ling did not stay here for too long, and rushed back to Xianyang. At the same time, he ordered Ji Ba to leave a medical team after dealing with the situation here, and the rest of the staff rushed to Hangu Pass to wait for the order.

At the same time, the Qin State launched a large-scale recruitment and recruited a large number of veterans to re-enter the army. According to Li Ling's plan, these people led the old and the new, and only one month of training would be supplemented with Zhao Xin's 65th Army, and then the 65th Army quickly transferred to Longxi County.

Li Ling knew that when the Xiongnu Shanyu discovered that the royal court had been destroyed, he would definitely launch a large-scale revenge against Qin, and the first person to be affected was Longxi County, which was closest to the Xiongnu royal court.

However, Li Ling could not keep the two absolutely elite troops of the 54th Army and the 38th Army in Longxi. He had to rely on these two troops to fight the Chu State. He could only let Zhao Xin take the order again in danger and use more than half of the troops who were new recruits to face the impact of the Hun army.

Li Ling's ideas and arrangements have done his best to do the best, fastest and best, but what Li Ling didn't expect was that he was still one step late!

In fact, just early the morning after he joined the 65th Army, the Chu army had already launched a full-scale attack on Qin. When Li Ling returned to Xianyang to get the news, Qin had already lost three cities in a row. Xiong Qi's troops had just arrived in Gaocheng. After receiving many heavy equipment left by Wang Jian there, they hurriedly planned to go to the front line.

Time didn't wait for anyone, and there was no rest for a moment. After receiving the news, Li Ling rushed straight to Hangu Pass. When he arrived at Hangu Pass, he didn't expect that Xiong Qi was defeated in the first battle, losing more than 5,000 people, and had to retreat to the front line of Gaocheng to defend.

Fortunately, at this time, the 54th Army and the 38th Army had returned to Qin. After a brief rest, they had already begun to rush towards Hangu Pass. At the same time, Wang Jian's army had also withdrawn from Qin and could reach Gaocheng in just five days at the earliest!

What Li Ling has to do now is to let Xiong Qi withstand the attack of the Chu army in Gaocheng no matter what. As long as he withstands for five days and Wang Jian’s army arrives, everything will be re-inherited!

However, it is said that the house is leaking and raining all night, which caused things that Li Ling did not expect to follow one after another!

When the Chu army pushed the front line of Gaocheng, South Korea suddenly gathered heavy troops and launched an attack with Chu. Moreover, due to the special location of South Korea, the 100,000 Han troops entered the back of Gaocheng and directly cut off the connection between Gaocheng and the hinterland of Qin. Gaocheng became an isolated city!

And even more deadly news is still to come!

When Li Ling began to gather troops along the county and county to prepare to reopen the road to Gaocheng, he received news from Wei that Qi had sent 400,000 troops, intending to go directly to Qin through South Korea and work together with Han and Chu to attack Qin.

"I want you to bring the news to me and tell Xiong Qi that if you really can't stand it, you will break through and withdraw it for me!"

After arranging more than a dozen waves of commuters in succession, Li Ling has to make adjustments now, and he may have to give up Gaocheng.

The troops in Wang Jian's hands were running back and forth and were seriously lacking in supplies, food and grass, not to mention that there were only 150,000 troops, while Qi had a total of 400,000 troops, and South Korea had a total of 100,000 troops. If the 200,000 troops of Chu were added, there would be 700,000 troops!

What did Li Ling use to fight this?

"Seiang Bang, someone said he came from Qi and brought important news to Xiang Bang, but his subordinates asked him and he said nothing."

"Hurry, bring me people!"

Li Ling's heart was cold. This person probably should be Meng Yi's subordinate. The news he brought was probably the news that Qi's troops had just been sent from Wei.
