Chapter 638: Bai Qi buries forty thousand soldiers alive; the world cold-shoulders him
"Not to mention, Changping is not far from Xianyang; we only need to dispatch two or three elite cavalry to go to Xianyang to report the situation, it won't be a hindrance!"
"Yes!"
Bai Qi's decision made the ordinary soldiers of the Qin State feel their blood boiling, and morale was high.
On the Changping battlefield, the slaughter gradually ceased, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
Here, blood gathered into a river, staining the entire Changping red.
"Retreat!"
Zhao Zhu stood on the carriage, looking ahead, and ordered indifferently.
"Retreat!"
On the Zhao side, Zhao Zhu and Li Mu personally led the soldiers to begin retreating.
Soon, the Zhao army retreated across the board, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
Not long after, a carriage slowly drove near the Changping battlefield.
This was a carriage, but it was not an ordinary carriage; four fine horses pulled it, and the carriage body was specially manufactured, exceptionally sturdy, so even Qin cavalry could not destroy this carriage.
And sitting on this carriage was a young man with a firm face, his brows revealing an heroic spirit.
This person was none other than Xiang Yan.
"General!"
The Chu State scout ran over and said respectfully: "Zhao Zhu has already led his troops to retreat."
"Retreated!" Xiang Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said: "Since they have retreated, let's leave quickly."
"Ah?" The scout was stunned and asked doubtfully: "General, the situation on the Changping battlefield has not been completely controlled yet; leaving now, I fear it is inappropriate."
"If we don't leave, once the Qin army surrounds the Zhao army, our risk of exposure will greatly increase. By then, once discovered by the Qin army, whether we leave or not will not be up to us," Xiang Yan shook his head and said.
The scout was silent, finally nodding and saying: "I understand; I will go down and arrange it."
"Mm!"
Xiang Yan nodded and said: "Go arrange it quickly!"
"Yes!" The scout responded and hurried away.
Soon, the scout returned.
"General, everything is prepared!"
"Good, let's move."
From the carriage, faint words came out.
Xiang Yan knew that the Qin State was now powerful, and if they wanted to stifle it, the Zhao State was the cannon fodder everyone had pushed out.
Only when the Zhao State exhausted the Qin State's strength would the other five states be able to form an alliance and surround the Qin State to fight.
After all, this was still an era where everyone wanted to save face; to send troops, one must have a bright and beautiful name. ===== CHAPTER 640 =====
