The sound of fighting in the battle formation has faded away, the sunset glow that looks like blood has dissipated in the sky, and the dark night gradually falls on the earth.

In this silent and deep night, in the Korean-Zhao coalition camp on the south bank of the Huishui River, arrays of torches were constantly emitting their own light.

With the help of the light and warmth brought by the blazing fire, these soldiers of the Korean and Zhao coalition who had fought hard for a long time finally had the opportunity to take a good rest.

Recalling the scenes that happened during the day, physical fatigue continued to spread, and these coalition soldiers could not help but look at the surrounding firelight with a somewhat solemn expression.

Gradually, the originally clear vision began to become blurry...

At this moment, in the Chinese army's tent, Zhao Shou, the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army, was also looking at the lights in front of him with confused eyes.

Until a call pulled him out of his thoughts.

"General, general..."

When his thoughts returned to reality, Zhao Shou looked in the direction of the sound, and the deputy general's concerned expression immediately appeared in his field of vision.

Slowly taking a few steps forward, I heard the deputy general say in a deep voice: "General, are you worried about the war?"

"well……"

A long, bitter sigh slowly came out of Zhao Shou's mouth, "How can I not worry?"

"The several months of confrontation between the two sides of the Huishui River have severely weakened the morale of the military. Now that they have suffered such a disastrous defeat in the first battle, I wonder what the future war situation will be like..."

Feeling the deep pessimism in Zhao Shou's words, the deputy general beside him knew that he could not go on like this.

If even the commander-in-chief of the first army loses confidence in the battle situation, what the Korean and Zhao coalition forces will encounter will not be as simple as a disastrous defeat.

Taking another step forward, the deputy general quickly comforted him in a deep voice, "General, although our army suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle, fortunately it still retains its fighting strength."

"We will rest on the south bank tonight and return to the north bank as quickly as possible tomorrow. We will rely on water to resist the Wei army's offensive. We may not be without the strength to fight."

After listening to the deputy general's words, the pessimism on Zhao Shou's face became less pessimistic, and some hope arose in his heart.

He still has 40,000 soldiers in his hands, plus the 10,000 elite Korean troops who escaped from the siege of the Wei army. It may be too late to launch an attack on the Wei army like this time.

However, it is not impossible to start a confrontation with Huishui and repeat the previous battle situation.

As his thoughts flowed here, Zhao Shou's eyes showed a bit of solemnity, "Since the war is like this, our army will return to the north bank early tomorrow morning."

"The last general takes orders."

…

Time passed by minute by minute, and the night gradually got darker.

As the physically and mentally exhausted coalition soldiers slowly fell asleep, the coalition camp fell into silence, with only strings of fires continuing to burn.

In this quiet atmosphere, countless black shadows quietly appeared outside the camp of the Han and Zhao coalition forces under the cover of night.

Staring at the extremely conspicuous firelight in the darkness ahead, Gongsun Cuo, who was standing in front of the team, suddenly saw a cold light in his eyes.

He held a strong bow with his left hand, and took out a sharp arrow from the quiver with his right hand. The next moment, the sharp arrow was shot directly into the distance with a burst of vibration from the bow string.

Under the firelight, a soldier Zhao, who was unaware of the danger, suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain in his chest.

With a look of pain on his face, Sergeant Zhao soon lost his life, and a dull sound was extremely clear in the silent night.

The death of Sergeant Zhao immediately attracted the attention of his colleagues next to him. When he used the firelight to see the other party's situation clearly, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Enemy attack!"

This cry of panic was like a horn, waking up the sleeping coalition soldiers and also sounded the prelude to the Wei army's attack.

Another confrontation between the Wei army and the Han and Zhao coalition forces slowly began in this originally silent night.

After hearing this order, those Wei soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately grasped the sharp blades in their hands and rushed out of the night, towards their target.

"kill……"

Immediately, the shouts of killing from all directions directly enveloped the camp of the Korean and Zhao coalition forces.

The Wei army's forwards were as fast as thunder, and even the coalition soldiers responsible for the defense had no time to react, and the fierce offensive appeared in front of them.

Without any surprise, the Wei army quickly broke through the camp wall, and many Wei troops poured into the camp of the Korean and Zhao coalition forces like a tide.

It was only then that the Han and Zhao coalition forces reacted to the sudden attack.

Some battle-hardened elite soldiers gradually recovered from their panic, and they began to gather together to form a front to resist the Wei army's attack.

Faced with this line of defense that blocked their progress, the Wei army decisively changed its original offensive rhythm.

The strong and daring Wei warriors gradually gathered at the front, and as the spearhead of the entire army, they pierced the battle line of the Han and Zhao coalition forces again and again.

No matter how strong a defense line is, it will inevitably have weaknesses, and this improvised front line is full of loopholes.

Once, twice, three times...

During the almost continuous attacks, the Wei army gradually discovered the weak links in the coalition's defense line.

Concentrate your forces to attack these weak links, expand them little by little, and eventually collapse the entire line of defense.

The Wei army was like an efficient war machine, completing its mission with incomparable accuracy, often delivering fatal blows to its opponents.

The sharp sword shone with a faint cold light under the firelight, and another coalition soldier fell in a pool of blood.

Glancing at the Korean soldier who died under his own sword, he slowly pointed his sword forward at the Korean and Zhao coalition forces that were almost losing order. Gongsun Cuo's roar appeared in the camp of the Korean and Zhao coalition forces.

"The whole army obeys the order and annihilates the enemy!"

The horn of the general attack has sounded, and countless Wei troops began to launch the most violent offensive against the Han and Zhao coalition forces in front of them.

Seeing the powerful Wei army approaching little by little, and seeing familiar comrades falling one by one, the collapse of the Han-Zhao coalition forces inevitably occurred.

"Run away!"

I don't know who was the first to shout this sentence, and the soldiers of the Korean and Zhao coalition, whose morale had declined to the lowest point, began to flee towards the north.

At this moment, these Korean and Zhao coalition soldiers had only one thought left in their minds, to escape at all costs. Only by escaping could they have a chance of survival.

It's just that when these Korean and Zhao coalition soldiers chose to flee to the north, they ignored an extremely important situation.

Just on their way to escape, there was an almost insurmountable natural chasm, which was the Huishui River where the two sides had been facing off for several months.

When these soldiers of the Korean and Zhao coalition forces ran to the waterfront, they found in despair that the pontoon bridges on both sides of the waterway had been completely destroyed and were completely impassable.

The ones who destroyed these pontoon bridges were none other than the elite soldiers sent by Gong Shucuo, the previous leader of the Wei army.

At this moment, there was a natural chasm blocking the front, and the Wei army was pursuing them in the rear. The soldiers of the Korean and Zhao coalition who had finally escaped to the bank of Huishui were in a desperate situation with nowhere to retreat.
