Chapter 1701: I know I am wrong, but I dare to do it next time
Although Han Xin wanted to take Qin Hao directly, he had missed the opportunity after all, and no matter how much he regretted it, it would be useless. So he could only put aside the matter of Qin Hao first and carefully consider where the defenders in Yecheng should go.
"More than 90% of the city guarding facilities at the East and West Gate were destroyed by Qin Hao."
Han Xin''s eyes were full of pain and asked, "If you take out all the spare equipment in the Ku Mansion, I wonder how many vacancy can be filled?"
Although Yecheng was originally a territory of South Korea, it was later occupied by Yuan Shao. Although Han Xin is the nominal general of the coalition forces, Yecheng''s ownership still belongs to Zhao.
Hearing Han Xin ask about the treasury, Xun Kan, who was in charge of the treasury, stood up and replied: "This time the losses of the east and west gates are too great. Even if all the spare equipment in the treasury are taken out, it will not be enough to fill the defense loopholes of a city gate, let alone the lack of equipment for defending the city at both the east and west gates."
Yuan Tan was anxious when he heard this and hurriedly said, "If the destroyed equipment is renovated, can it be used again?"
Han Xin replied with a wry smile: "Even if the leader of the Workers comes, he can''t repair it well."
Yuan Tan was stunned and asked, "How could it be?"
"It''s all burned into slag, how do you need to repair it?"
"this?"
Yuan Tan showed a glimmer of emotion and then said indignantly: "The Qin army is so cruel. This is not a way out for us."
At night, although the defenders in the city repelled the Qin army''s attack, the defense equipment of the east and west gates was also destroyed. How should the defenders resist the Qin army''s attack after dawn?
As soon as he thought of this, everyone present fell into silence. Even a wise man like Tian Feng, Ju Shu and Xun Kan could not think of a solution to the problem.
This is an unsolvable problem!
After Han Xin pondered for a long time, a glimmer flashed in his eyes. He looked at Yuan Tan and pondered: "I have a plan that may protect the entire army, but the price is too high. I wonder if King Zhao is willing to implement it?"
Yuan Tan''s eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Please say, King Han."
"Abandon Yecheng." Han Xin said in a deep voice.
"What?"
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone present exclaimed except Tian Feng.
"Abandon Yecheng?"
Yuan Tan even widened his eyes and subconsciously shook his head, "No, absolutely not."
With the two defeats of Beihai and Julu, Zhao''s land in western Hebei and Qingbei has basically been embezzled by the Qin army. Now Yecheng is the only remaining territory of Zhao.
If we abandon Yecheng, the third largest city in the world, then Zhao would have no more land in Hebei. Even if we protect our army, we would not be able to hold on for too long.
Yuan Tan is not a fool, and he can still see the pros and cons, so he decisively refused: "Yecheng is the last territory of our Zhao State. Once we abandon it, our Zhao State will be equivalent to the destruction of our country, so it will definitely not work."
Not only Yuan Tan opposed it, but most of the civil and military officials in Zhao also opposed it, especially Yuan Hong glared at Han Xin, only Tian Feng and Xun Kan frowned, looking thoughtful.
Han Xin seemed not surprised at all about the reactions of the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, and shook his head and said, "The survival of Zhao State is not about Yecheng, but about you.
Even if Ye City is lost, as long as you are still alive, Zhao State will still be there.
But if you are gone, even if Ye City is still there, Zhao State will still perish. ”
Hearing Han Xin''s words, Yuan Tan looked thoughtful, but a trace of firmness flashed in the eyes of Tian Feng and Xun Kan at the same time.
Tian Feng stood up and said, "Lord, King Han is right, give up Yecheng.
If we were in Yecheng and were taken down by the Qin army, then the State of Zhao would be truly destroyed. ”
Xun Kan also stood up and said, "In addition, there are not many materials for Yecheng to defend the city. Even if the equipment for the east and west gates of the city has not been destroyed, we can only hold on for another month at most."
Yuan Tan was still hesitant and asked, "Does he have to abandon Yecheng to survive?"
"King Zhao made a mistake. Even if he abandoned Yecheng, he might not be able to survive." Han Xin shook his head and then continued, "But if he continues to trap Yecheng, he will definitely lose sooner or later.
No matter whether the equipment to defend the city was destroyed, it only takes half a month for Su Dingfang to sweep western Hebei. When the 100,000 elite Qin troops return, we will face more than 300,000 Qin troops. ”
After a while, all the generals of Zhao, who were still making trouble just now, stopped talking.
More than 300,000 Qin troops, what a huge number this is. How long can they last with their nearly 110,000 defenders alone?
"If you retreat now, you can still get rid of it. If Su Dingfang comes back, it will be too late even if King Zhao wants to retreat." Han Xin said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Yuan Tan''s face became even more entangled. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "King Han, please let me think about it."
Seeing that he could not convince Yuan Tan, Han Xin felt extremely helpless in his heart and sighed: "King Zhao, please hurry up. Time is not waiting for anyone. If you can''t make up your mind within half a day, I will have to lead the army to leave Yecheng alone."
Of course, Han Xin said this to force Yuan Tan. After all, even if he led the army to break through, it would be a matter of time before the weak Han army could be annexed by the Qin army without the help of the Zhao army.
Among the 120,000 defenders in Yecheng before, the Zhao army occupied 80,000, while the South Korean army occupied only 40,000.
After the Qin army''s night attack, the defenders suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Now the Zhao army has 75,000 left and the Korean army has 35,000 left.
Although Han Xin still has 30,000 troops in northern Hebei, under the iron hoofs of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, this amount of troops basically does not play much role.
Han Xin had to convince Yuan Tan to lead 80,000 Zhao troops to retreat with him in order to continue to survive in northern Hebei.
Hearing Han Xin say this, Yuan Tan also realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded heavily, "I understand. I will definitely reply to King Han within half a day."

Unlike the gloomy side of the coalition, the Qin army, who won the battle again, had a completely cheerful expression. In everyone''s eyes, Yecheng was already in his pocket.
"Wenyuan, I heard that your performance after killing the city tower is very eye-catching. Let''s talk to your brothers." Xue Rengui quipped.
"Yes, yes, let me tell you brothers."
With Xu Huang taking the lead, the generals started to make excitement one after another.
Zhang Liao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Get out, everyone, I''ll come and laugh at me."
Wait, next time you make a fool of yourself, let me see how I laugh at you. ”
"Ha ha…"
Hearing this, all the generals laughed.
"snort…"
Seeing this, Zhang Liao snorted coldly, turned his head aside, and ignored these heartless guys.
At the same time, Qin Hao was also blocked by Bai Qi, Zhang Liang, Guo Jia and others, and they all accused Qin Hao of not taking risks.
"Lord, you are no longer a teenager. How could you still be so impulsive?" Bai Qi said.
After being repeatedly criticized for half an hour, Qin Hao really didn''t want to continue, so he could only admit his mistake: "This time it was indeed my fault. I realized that I was wrong, and I will definitely not be able to do so next time."
Seeing Qin Hao admitting his mistake on his own initiative, Bai Qi and Zhang Liang and others looked at each other. After all, just looking at the lord''s appearance, they would know that he would definitely dare to do this next time.
