When the commander-in-chief Zhang Yu issued the order to withdraw his troops, for the Qin soldiers on the battlefield, the situation of the war had already undergone major changes.

The original battle for space between you and me has turned into a race against time.

Countless Qin troops tried their best to break away from the Wei soldiers on the opposite side as soon as possible before the Wei army's giant pincers closed.

Hurry up!

The speed of the entire Qin army suddenly accelerated at this moment, and countless soldiers began to retreat rapidly towards the rear.

Just as the Qin army accelerated, the Wei army on the opposite side did not sit still and waited for death. The powerful pair of pincers approached each other little by little.

When the Wei soldiers on both wings of the Wei army opened up the connection between the two sides and finally joined forces in one place, there were still a large number of Qin troops in this huge encirclement.

Standing on the chariot in the Qin army's formation, looking at a Qin soldier who was tightly surrounded in front of him, Ying Qian, as the deputy general, saluted beside him.

"General, please lead the troops to rescue those trapped comrades."

Hearing Ying Qian's plea in his ears and looking at the soldiers in front who were surrounded and unable to escape, as the commander-in-chief, Zhang Yu's eyes were very complicated at this moment.

To be honest, if he could really save the soldiers in front of him, why wouldn't Zhang Yu be unwilling to do it?

After all, those were Zhang Yu's soldiers, and it was he who led them all the way from Luoshui to Shaoliang City.

However, his duty as a general reminded Zhang Yu over and over again in his heart that he could not put his entire army in danger because of those soldiers.

He stared quietly ahead with solemn eyes, looking at a Wei soldier who was rushing towards him in his field of vision, and a very painful decision appeared in Zhang Yu's heart.

"Ying Qian!"

Hearing Zhang Zhu's call, Ying Qian's face was filled with joy, and he quickly faced forward and solemnly responded: "The general will be here."

Just when Ying Qian thought Zhang Yu was going to agree to his request, Zhang Yu's low-toned voice appeared in his ears.

"Send my order to the entire army..."

"retreat!"

After hearing this voice, Ying Qian's face was immediately stunned, and an incredible look slowly emerged in his eyes.

Those were tens of thousands of Qin soldiers.

"General..."

Ying Qian wanted to say something more, but before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiang looked at him with extremely firm eyes.

"Ying Qian, this is a military order!"

Meeting Zhang Yu's gaze, Ying Qian didn't say what he originally wanted to say for a long time, and the incredulity on his face was gradually replaced by unwillingness.

However, no matter how much reluctance he felt in his heart, Ying Qian knew very well that Zhang Xi's decision at this moment was undoubtedly the right one.

After a few breaths of silence, Ying Qian finally replied in a deep voice to Zhang Xiang on the side: "General, I will obey the military order."

Following the order from the commander-in-chief Zhang Xi, the Qin army's main formation finally moved.

However, it did not go to rescue the Qin soldiers who were besieged by the Wei army, but moved quickly away from the battlefield.

Naturally, the actions of the Qin Army's main formation could not escape the eyes of their opponent, the Wei Army.

"General, the Qin army's main formation is fleeing toward the southwest."

After listening to the news reported by the soldiers in front, the deputy general said in a deep voice to the general Pang Juan on the side: "General, I am willing to lead an army to hold back the Qin army."

"It doesn't have to be this way."

After stopping the deputy general who was preparing to pursue him, Pang Juan still cast his gaze straight ahead, watching every move of the Qin army on the battlefield.

After looking at the main formation of the Qin army that was slowly withdrawing from the battlefield, Pang Juan gave up the idea of ​​leaving this army outside Shaoliang City after some calculations in his mind.

With 60,000 Wei troops facing off against 100,000 Qin troops, if the opponent were to be completely annihilated here, even the powerful Wei soldiers would suffer heavy casualties.

What's more, this is not the last contest between the two sides. Don't forget that Wei State has another large army in Hexi at this moment.

After a moment, Pang Juan put away his thoughts, and then turned his attention to the Qin soldiers who were heavily surrounded by the Wei army at this moment.

A cold look flashed across his eyes, and he heard Pang Juan order in a deep voice: "Send my order to the general to encircle the entire army and finish off the remaining Qin army as soon as possible."

"Here."

After Pang Juan's voice fell, the red banner in the Wei army's formation was waved quickly, and this order was quickly passed on to every Wei soldier.

The horn of the general attack has sounded, and it is time to end this war.

"kill!"

Cries of killing rang out from all directions, and a Wei soldier waved his halberd and stabbed straight at the besieged Qin soldiers in the middle.

The sharp blade of the halberd flashed with cold light, and painful wails continued to sound. The space occupied by the Qin army in the encirclement was gradually compressed by the Wei army.

These Qin soldiers, who knew that they had been abandoned, looked at the Wei soldiers with no end in sight, and the despair in their hearts had reached the extreme at this moment.

In a desperate situation, these Qin soldiers who saw no way out made different choices.

Some soldiers chose to fight to the death and fell helplessly under the soldiers' halberds; other soldiers chose to surrender and survive, throwing their weapons at the approaching Wei army.

"Dang Cang..."

When the last Qin soldier threw down his dagger, the war outside Shaoliang City slowly came to an end.

…

"Kakaka..."

With a sound of wood squeezing echoing across the plains, the Shaoliang City Gate, which had been closed for more than a month, was finally slowly opened.

Groups of Wei soldiers wearing armor and holding halberds stepped out from the open city gate and took up positions under the mottled city wall that still retained traces of the war.

Zhai Liang, the Shaoliang general of the Wei State, led a dozen soldiers out slowly and stood in front of the Wei soldiers. His eyes quietly stared at the peaceful wilderness in front of him.

A moment later, accompanied by the neighing of war horses, the figures of Wei soldiers wearing red armor appeared in front of Zhai Liang.

A chariot came near. Seeing the figure jumping off the chariot, Zhai Liang immediately looked solemn and bowed as a great gift.

"The last general, Zhai Liang, pays homage to General Pang Juan."

Looking at Zhai Liang who was bowing in front of him, Pang Juan quickly came to the comrade who had been guarding Shaoliang for many days and helped him up.

"General Zhai Liang, why are you doing this? Please get up quickly."

"General Pang Juan led his troops to help us to relieve the siege of Shaoliang. I would like to thank the general for this." Looking at Pang Juan in front of him, Zhai Liang's eyes flashed with gratitude.

"General, you don't have to be like this. This Shaoliang battle against Pang Juan was just a minor achievement. Everything is still yours. Sima's leadership is good."

After responding to Zhai Liang's words with some humility, Pang Juan immediately cast his meaningful gaze to the west, "What's more, the next war will require more help from generals to Pang Juan."
