As the Qin Alliance's tactics gradually began to shift from offense to defense, the situation on the entire battlefield also began to change.
At first, relying on the fact that the Crane Alliance entered Sili later, the Qin Alliance had the advantage of being well-rested and could indeed suppress the Crane Alliance.
But now, everything is different.
Faced with the Crane Alliance's offensive firepower that was like a storm, the attacks of the Qin Alliance's Hundred Battles Group and the War Martial Group seemed insignificant.
Moreover, gradually, as time went on, the defensive forces of the three regiments of the Qin Alliance were gradually destroyed by the Crane Alliance, and became increasingly precarious.

Qin丨Qingkuang: No, brothers, if we continue fighting like this, we won’t be able to hold out for much longer, and our defense line will be breached by the Crane Alliance, not to mention holding out for two days as Beiliang arranged.
Qin丨Miaomiao: Why don't the Zhanwu Group withdraw, abandon the attack, and join the defense? I feel like Baizhan and Zhanwu can't break through the Crane Alliance's defenses anyway, so they might as well join the defense.
Qin丨God of War: No, right now Baizhan and Zhanwu Corps are still tying down a portion of Crane Alliance’s forces. If we withdraw one of our regiments, the enemy will surely notice that our offensive firepower has weakened, and then it will be even harder for us to defend.
Qin Shuo Liuguang: So what should we do now? Are we just going to sit here and wait to be crushed? Besides, wasn't the Crane Alliance established two months before us? How can there be such a huge gap in combat power...
Qin丨Qingkuang: It's normal. I met their leader, the uncle Huang, in the old area. He believed that there was nothing that couldn't be solved with money. The rewards they gave out for a fight were almost the same as our rewards for the entire season...
Qin Shuo Liuguang: Ah, that is indeed a bit exaggerated... But having said that, if we are really pushed directly towards us, we will lose face.
Qin丨God of War: My opinion is to retreat.
Qin丨Qingkuang: Huh? How do you retreat? Where do you retreat to?
Qin丨God of War: Look at this point (797.745), it is exactly where you go from Xinzheng to the north and touch the battlefield between Beiliang and Cangqiong. What's more important is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, with mountains on both sides and only one mountain pass to pass through.
Not only that, we occupied this place early on, and by taking advantage of the terrain, we can also make a detour and encircle the Crane Alliance's position that came from afar. It is no exaggeration to say that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Qin丨Shuo Liuguang: emmm, I think it’s okay. It is indeed easier to defend over there. If we can’t even defend a place like this, then to be honest, there is really no point in fighting any further.
Qin丨Qingkuang: Well, okay, that’s settled then, let’s make the arrangements quickly.
…
As soon as the order for the Qin Alliance to retreat to the mountain pass was issued, the members of the Qin Alliance, who had long been suffering under the heavy pressure of the Crane Alliance's attack, of course did not say anything else and directly chose a strategic retreat, commonly known as yo-yo.
This made the Crane Alliance dumbfounded. Although they did not have vision of the Qin Alliance's position, they were not under too much pressure in terms of attack or defense, but they just lost it. Of course, they could still feel it.

Ling Xiao丨Tian Ce: Something is wrong, brothers. What’s going on with the Qin Alliance? Why do I feel like all the opponents have retreated at once?
Emperor's uncle: Be more confident. It's not just your feeling, but they seem to have indeed escaped. Maybe... they feel that they can't defeat us head-on, so they plan to change their tactics?
Crossing the River in White: The problem is, this is Rate of War, not actual combat, they can't possibly adopt any guerrilla tactics, right?
The hardworking person: It is really possible.
Emperor’s uncle: Oh my god, the missing people have returned?
Wu Ye: Damn it, I haven’t seen you say a few words for a whole season, and now you suddenly pop up.
Kuxinren: Well, I have been splitting up the alliance and doing nothing. I just looked at the situation on the Sili battlefield, and I feel that the Qin Alliance is likely to choose to retreat.
Dream丨Ming Daoxin: Retreat? Where can we retreat to?
Hardworking person: Look at point 797.745. This is a mountain pass, which is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also located in the middle of the road, which can just block our route to the north to support Beiliang丨War Soul and Sky Battlefield.
Emperor's uncle: Now that you mention it, it's true. If you want to take the official road, you can only go this way. The level of the governor's chariot and eight cavalrymen in other places is simply not enough to pave the way.
Bai Yi Du Jiang: Otherwise, it has to be you, my hard work, my baby!
The hardworking person: ...That’s not necessary.
Ling Xiao | Tian Ce: So, what should we do now? Chase after them? Or what should we say?
The hardworking man: Chase after them? Why chase after them? Just following them, wouldn't that just do what they want? And it's not wise to attack a hard-to-defend point by force.
Jiutian丨Qingsi: What do you think now?
The hardworking person: Hehe, of course we will force them back. Let’s put it this way, the reason they retreated is because they felt they couldn’t defeat us head-on, and they wanted us to get into a spot that makes them comfortable.
Even if we take a step back and say that the reason they can't defeat us and keep looking for opportunities to fight us is because they want to delay us and prevent us from going north to support Cangkong, then once we have figured this out, won't the rest be easy?
Emperor's uncle: Do you mean to give up the pursuit and go directly north from Xinzheng to Luhun to support Cangkong from the front?
Kuxinren: That’s right. No matter whether we really support them or not, at least we should make it look like we are going to support them, so that everyone will think that we are going to support them. Then, the Qin Alliance will be the ones who will be anxious.
Crossing the River in White: That’s indeed the truth… I have to say it, but to use tactics you have to be very painstaking, that’s a really dirty thing!
The hardworking person: Oh my god... are you praising me or scolding me?
Emperor’s uncle: Haha, it’s no big deal, it’s no big deal, just follow this rhythm, Tiance, you go and make the arrangements, tell the brothers to get moving!
…
It has to be admitted that although Ku Xinren has generally been slacking off in recent seasons and is often not seen for most of the season, when it comes to tactics, Ku Xinren is indeed the one with the most ideas in the entire Crane Alliance.
This tactic of playing hard to get really hit Qin Meng right in the heart. Less than half an hour after the He Meng gave up the pursuit and chose to advance towards Luhun, Qin Meng could no longer sit still.
Although Qin丨Zhanshen repeatedly stressed to the management not to fall for the Crane Alliance's tactics of playing hard to get, under the questioning of Beiliang丨Zhanhun, Qin丨Qingkuang had no choice but to order everyone to give up retreat and continue to advance towards the Crane Alliance position.
But you have to know that the reason why the Qin Alliance was able to compete with the Crane Alliance before was because there was a time difference between the two sides, which caused the Crane Alliance to be at a disadvantage in a short period of time.
But in this back and forth, the Crane Alliance became the one that was well-rested and waiting for the opportunity to tire out. On the contrary, the Qin Alliance was truly at a disadvantage in this time.
The advantages and disadvantages of both sides were completely reversed at this moment.
