The last minute arrival of Zhao Kuo's forces saved Zhao Zhuang, who was on the verge of collapsing.

The high capabilities and body qualities of the Zhao army were displayed to the fullest. Even though they were always in danger and suffered heavy casualties, no one escaped and all of them fought courageously.

One had to say that this was a huge miracle during the Warring States Period.

After Zhao Kuo arrived, he took over command and made the scattered Zhao Zhuang forces gather up again. With the addition of 150 thousand men from Zhao Kuo's forces, it created a lot of pressure for the Qin army.

Seeing that things weren’t going smoothly, Baiqi immediately ordered his troops to split off.

Zhao Kuo didn't chase them, and after gathering together with Zhao Zhuang's forces, they waltzed back to Gu Pass.

This huge battle occurred in 3 waves, and lasted an entire day with both sides losing over 100 thousand men. The Changping Valley became a deathland; fresh blood stained the ground, and it would never be used to plant crops.

After the battle, the Qin army arranged to gather the corpses and bury them. They collected all the weapons and armor that could be used and found the horses that were scattered around.

The sky of Changping was terrifyingly gloomy, signifying that the war was far from over.

When nighttime came, rain started to fall. Slowly, the rainfall got bigger and bigger and became a storm, enveloping the entire Changping region.

The rainwater washed off the blood on the battlefield, and the red water now flowed into the Dan River, staining it red too. The red rainwater was the best description of this battle.

After the storm, there was a huge change to the land, and it seemed like nothing had even happened.

In this battle, the Zhao army had successfully broke through from the cage that the Qin army had set up. Although their lost much, they had succeeded.

The Qin army was feeling depressed. Not only did the enemy escape, but their general Wang Ling had also died. His whole army going under was definitely a sad thing.

Based on the battle settings, when non camp leaders like Wang Ling died, after the battle ended, they would have no chance of appearing in the wilderness and were completely gone.

In the Lang Mountain manor, Baiqi's face was dark and gloomy.

All the generals and advisors sat on 2 rows of 6 stone stools, looking extremely serious. Ouyang Shuo, as the player representative, was invited to this meeting. He sat quietly at the corner, not saying anything.

Based on the military advisor's calculations, apart from the total annihilation of Wang Ling's forces, Huan He had lost over 10 thousand, Wang He lost 40 thousand, Meng Ao lost 30 thousand, and in total, the Qin army lost close to 150 thousand.

On the side of the player force, Ouyang Shuo made his own calculations. Of the 7000 infantry led by Chen Tang, there were around 4000 who successfully left the battlefield.

Out of the 24 thousand cavalry, around 20 thousand were left. Shanhai City's 10 thousand cavalry were in charge of attacking and suffered heavy casualties, losing 2000 men, paining Ouyang Shuo’s heart.

In the Battle of Changping, the 10 thousand cavalry that Ouyang Shuo brought was half of what Shanhai City had, and to lose 20% in a day was definitely heartbreaking.
