After appeasing the soldiers, Zhao Kuo returned to the camp and whispered to Zhao Zhuang, the deputy general beside him: "The commander moved to the shogunate overnight, and Zhao Xin will also lead the generals tomorrow, and everything in the army will be handed over to the general." ”

Zhao Zhuang tearfully arched his hand and said: "The last general has the heart to die......"

Hearing Zhao Zhuang say this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help choking in his heart, stretched out his hand and pressed Zhao Zhuang's shoulder heavily: "The general's words are serious!" Wait for the general to return triumphantly! ”

"Take care, General." Zhao Zhuang knelt on the ground, bowed to Zhao Kuo, got up immediately, turned his head and left.

By the time Zhao Kuo arrived at the secret camp, it was already late at night. Before he had time to rest, Zhao Kuo took Zhao Yan, the commander of the scouts, and was led by the military affairs Sima to the top of this nameless mountain range by moonlight. Although it is not a steep mountain, it is also a forest with many strange stone caves, and the top of the mountain is flat and open, and the field of vision is extremely open. Looking up, the fire in the Qin army camp was shining, but it was orderly.

"It must have been in vain." Zhao Kuo couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, and pondered, "The formation is so tight, and it doesn't leak, it's really a famous general." ”

After seeing the Qin army fortress, Zhao Kuo inspected the secret posts on various roads in the mountains non-stop, and then returned to the new shogunate station. It is said that it is a shogunate, but in fact it is only a small cave, except for the faint candlelight in the cave, the whole mountain is pitch black, and it is impossible to believe that there are 200,000 troops hidden here.

At the same time, Bai Qi, who was in the camp of the Qin army, was also slightly locked between his eyebrows. Standing in front of the case, Bai Qi kept sliding on the map with his hands, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and laughed out loud.

This made the deputy general Wang Di, who had been standing quietly next to him, look a little inexplicable: "Our army has lost again and again, why is the general so happy?" ”

Bai Qi didn't look up: "You say, Zhao Kuo's talent, what is better than Lian Po?" ”

Wang Di said disapprerovingly: "It's just a yellow-haired child." ”

I didn't want Bai Qi to sigh: "If Zhao Kuo doesn't die in this battle, he must be a famous general in the world." ”

"The general's intention, but the plan to force Zhao Yishuai is wrong?" Wang Yi looked stunned.

"Not so! Although Zhao Kuo is courageous, decisive and decisive, he lacks tempering. If after several battles, this person must be a fierce enemy of Great Qin! For the sake of Great Qin, this person will die. There was a look of regret on Bai Qi's face......

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Zhuang led 100,000 Zhao troops and unfurled Zhao Kuo's red flag. He also ordered the cavalry to cut down branches and tie them to the tail of the horse, and for a time the smoke and dust were billowing out, as if hundreds of thousands of troops were rolling in, and the Zhao army stationed in Pijiao and Jinyang was also attacking at the same time. Seeing that the three-way Zhao army was menacing, Bai Qi urgently ordered the army to retreat westward, but he didn't want the Zhao army under the banner of Zhao Kuo in front of him to be like crazy, and he clung to the Qin army all the way, and chased all the way to the east bank of Qinshui.

"Could it be that the old man overestimated Zhao Kuo?" Seeing that Zhao Jun had entered the trap he had carefully designed so easily, Bai Qi felt a faint melancholy in his heart. The big war was imminent, and there was no time to think about it, Bai Qi immediately issued a military order: "The whole army will enter the backwater formation and defend it desperately." ”

Although the Zhao army repeatedly rushed into the Qin army's array, with the cooperation of the Qin army's warships in the Qinshui, it could not take advantage of it at all.

The fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, and the scout Sima suddenly flew to report: "The Zhao army of Pigao and Jinyang has been blocked by Wang Ji and Sima Obstruction respectively, and Zhao Kuo's lone army has become a hanging army." ”

Bai Qi was overjoyed when he got this news, the Qin army had its back to Qinshui, and could get a steady stream of replenishment and supplies from the warships on the river, while the Zhao army was hanging deep, the grain route had been cut off, and it would definitely be defeated in a few days.

Zhao Zhuang didn't know how to do it in his heart, looked at it for a long time, and resolutely ordered: "Attack the village again!" ”

The red army suddenly surged up like a tide again, and the defending Qin army was not panicked, after a loud and rapid bangzi sound, the strong crossbow and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the arrow rain poured down, and the Zhao army once again retreated helplessly after dropping a corpse.

Zhao Kuo stood on the top of the mountain and saw the battle situation really clearly. Because the Qin army was on its back, the breakthrough of the Zhao army seemed meaningless, and even if it broke through, it was faced with a deep and wide Qinshui.

"The flying pigeon passed the book, and Zhao Zhuang retreated to Changping." Zhao Kuo's face was cold, and the Chinese army Sima on the side took the order and left.

After a while, Zhao Zhuang, who had received the order, began to slowly retreat towards Changping, not wanting that as soon as Zhao Jun moved, Bai Qijun, who was cowering in the backwater formation, was dispatched. Seeing this situation, Zhao Zhuang's heart suddenly cooled, and Bai Qi wanted to completely annihilate his Zhao army.

"Sima Ce, after you lead an army to break off, cover the eastward retreat of the army!" After Zhao Zhuang gave the order, the Zhao army immediately divided into two roads, all the way to meet the approaching Bai Qi army, and all the way to Changping to retreat. Just when Zhao Zhuang could already see the banner of the Zhao army on the tower of Changping Pass from a distance, a camp suddenly appeared in front of the army, and a large number of Qin troops blocked the way back.

Zhao Kuo was also wondering at this time: "Where did this Qin army come from?" ”

Scout Sima hurriedly said: "The king of Qin has arrived at the Yewang and urgently recruited men over the age of fifteen in the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi to rush to the aid of the party. ”

Zhao Kuo sneered in his heart: "The ears of the rabble." ”

But Zhao Zhuang didn't know, seeing that Sima Ce had been wiped out, Bai Qi was approaching step by step. Zhao Zhuang did not dare to attack hard, and ordered the whole army to turn to Danshui and retreat eastward.

After a day of fierce fighting, when they reached the Danshui River, the Zhao army was already sleepy and tired.

"The general is not good!" One of the lieutenants shouted incredulously at Danshui.

Zhao Zhuang raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and the Danshui, which was not deep, suddenly became as wide and deep as Qinshui. There were still many Qin ships on the river, and the last retreat of the Zhao army was also cut off.

"Fortunately, there is an easy strategy for the battle, if I don't destroy the army here!" Zhao Kuo almost stumbled to the ground, but was held up by Sima beside him.

"General, is the army attacking?" Zhao Xin hurriedly asked.

After a long silence, Zhao Kuo waved his hand: "Don't worry!" ”

The situation of the entire Hedong battlefield was to rush and block, the Zhao army of Changping, Jinyang, and Pigao was desperately moving closer to Zhao Zhuang's army, and the army of King Qinye, Sima Terrier, and Wang Ji were also desperately blocking. As long as the Zhao army can break through one of them, the Qin army will be defeated! And the hastily conscripted Yewang Army may be the key to this battle.

Zhao Kuo was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Zhao Zhuang has experienced a hundred battles, and as soon as he saw the formation of the Qin army, he knew that it must be a battle to the death, and immediately ordered: "Return to the army!" Storm the Qin army fortress that blocked my way to Changping! ”

Zhao Jun originally had the heart of death, and at this time, everyone was fighting to the death. Zhao Zhuang stood on top of the cloud car, waved the red "Zhao" flag, and the 50,000 infantry army spread out with the war drums, shouting the slogan of "Bloody Battle to Destroy Qin" and rushed to the Qin army camp desperately.

The Qin army on this road was all a new army, without much training, and the enemy on the back of the abdomen, the situation was already extremely tense after a while, and the camp was about to be overwhelmed by the red waves of the Zhao army.

At this critical moment, Wang Di's 60,000 reinforcements arrived.

Zhao Zhuang suddenly saw the smoke and dust rising behind him, and he knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to watch the Qin army's iron cavalry rush into the Zhao army's formation in an instant.

Although the number of Zhao troops is small, but all of them are the elite of thousands of choices, the Qin army was stunned that they could not take the slightest advantage, the sky gradually darkened, Bai Qi looked at the confrontation situation between the two armies, and said with a faint smile: "Order all battalions, Mingjin to collect the troops." ”

Taking advantage of this respite, Zhao Zhuang also hurriedly gathered his military horses, built a barrier overnight, and prepared for a long-term siege.
