At the end of the hour, the first general drum rumbled. The generals who hurried from all the big camps cleaned up their clothes and armor, and quickly lined up in two columns outside the gate according to their positions.

After the second drum was finished, the generals walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, which stood on the left and right sides.

At this time, the third drum sounded, and Sima Lang of the Chinese army said: "The general has arrived!" ”

The generals immediately focused their eyes on the handsome case, and saw a young general who walked out from behind the screen majestically, standing still in the middle of the handsome case, but he didn't move at all.

Sima of the Chinese army raised his head and said in a loud voice: "The time is right!" ”

The military officer on the side of the handsome case unfolded the bamboo slip in his hand and pointed at the names on it one by one. After a while, the order was completed, and all the forty-six generals arrived.

Zhao Kuo swept his gaze to the generals, and it was an impassioned statement: "It has been three years since the confrontation between the parties, and our army has blindly retreated and defended in the past three years, what is the result?" Lost Sanshan, lost the western base, lost the soldiers and lost the generals, and was crushed in the valley of 300 miles east of Danshui and couldn't move! Speaking of this, Zhao Kuo actually took the case and said angrily, "Da Zhao has been a great military for 60 years, why is this so?" ”

All the generals were in their hearts, and they were solemn for a while.

Zhao Kuo suddenly sneered and said: "Now Qin Jiutun is tired of war, and he has become a tired teacher!" We should take advantage of this opportunity to march westward and destroy Qin in a bloody battle! ”

"Bloody battle to destroy Qin! Bloody battle to destroy Qin! Zhao Jun is invincible! The generals of the Zhao army in the big tent suddenly lifted their spirits and shouted in unison, and the desire to fight that had been suppressed for three years burst out in an instant.

Zhao Kuo was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand, so Sima Lang of the Chinese army on the side said: "The general's military order!" ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately straightened their backs, and the tent instantly fell silent.

"First order! The former shogunate military officials were each given the rank of knight to fill the casualties of each department, and the new shogunate was filled by the generals and military officials. After the officers in the tent received their orders, they flashed back behind the generals.

"Second military order! From now on, all battalions will make full preparations for battle, and within half a month, the soldiers who are scattered to defend the barrier will assemble and return to the camp. If there is any negligence, military law will deal with it! ”

"Yes!" The Great Tent was impassioned.

Zhao Kuo waited for the military order to be issued, looked around at the generals and said, "Zhao Zhuang, where is Zhao Xin?" ”

The two generals in the tent strode out of the column and said in unison: "Here!" ”

"You two stay, and the rest of the generals will all retreat and prepare for battle." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and ordered.

The generals looked at each other and retreated.

Zhao Kuo sat down behind the handsome case and pondered for a moment: "Zhao Zhuang, let you secretly select 100,000 elite dead soldiers in the army, form a battalion of your own, and assemble on standby." ”

"No!" Zhao Zhuang responded.

"Zhao Xin, order you to rectify the army of 200,000." Zhao Kuo motioned for Zhao Xin to come to the Shangdang topographic map on the side of the big tent, and then pointed to an unnamed mountain road, "The army is broken into pieces, sneaking into the mountains in batches at night, secretly building a large camp, and at the same time blocking the passages into the mountains, so as to be stationed invisible, and must not be detected by the enemy, all deployments must be completed within half a month." ”

"General......" Zhao Xin's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "There are hundreds of thousands of troops, mixed with fish and dragons, I am afraid that there are many Qin army eyeliners, this matter is not easy." ”

Zhao Kuo lingered in the tent for a moment and shouted, "Zhongjun Sima! ”

The Chinese army Sima hurriedly entered the tent and bowed: "Here!" ”

"Immediately send an order to the whole army, from today onwards, blockade all battalions, if there is a single person, or a bird piece book leaks out, all battalions will be killed!" Zhao Kuo's handsome face showed a majestic look.

"No!" The Chinese army Sima took the order and left......

Half a month later, the battalions of the Zhao army were assembled, and a great battle finally arrived.

The Qin army was in the west, and Zhao Kuo was in the east. Fifty li to the west of the Qin army was a very deep and wide Qinshui, and ten li in front of Zhao Kuo was Danshui, where the riverbed was very wide but the water was very shallow. Taihang and Wangwu in the south were occupied by the Qin army, and several passes in the Taihang Mountains in the north belonged to Qin and Zhao, and the battlefield was located in this rectangular Shangdang Basin.

Before the morning mist had lifted, Zhao Jun crossed the Danshui and attacked.

This battle is Zhao Kuo's tentative attack, the central 100,000 horse infantry army is composed of elite dead soldiers carefully selected by Zhao Zhuang, led by Zhao Kuo himself, and a huge red flag with the word "Zhao" on the cloud chariot of the central phalanx flies with the wind. There were 50,000 cavalry on the left and right to guard the two wings, totaling 200,000 troops.

With a loud horn, the Qin army also dispatched. The main general of the Qin army, Wang Yi, immediately stepped forward, and the banner was split, and the heavy infantry in the center of the Qin army suddenly rushed over like a tsunami, but the cavalry on both wings did not move at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo sneered: "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

For a while, arrows rained down, and although the Qin army armor was protected by a black iron shield, they still fell to the ground one after another, but the Qin army was stunned and did not retreat, and within a moment it was already close to the front of the Zhao army.

"Crossbowmen retreat, spear shooters ready!" Zhao Kuo waved his hand, and the crossbowmen immediately retreated into the spear pitcher formation in unison.

After another rain of spears and iron, in front of the Zhao army, the Qin army was already full of casualties.

"Order, the Chinese army will meet the enemy head-on with this commander, and the iron cavalry will outflank the two wings!" With a burst of cold light, the sword given by the prince of Zhao on Zhao Kuo's waist was immediately unsheathed, and it was the first to rush towards the Qin army's battle formation. When the sergeants saw that the main general was so desperate, the morale of the army was suddenly lifted, and the sound of killing was everywhere, and they pressed the black tide in front of them to cover the past.

The two most powerful iron armies of the Warring States collided like a mountain......

After a fierce battle for about half an hour, Zhao Kuo suddenly heard the surrounding Zhao army cheering loudly: "The Qin army has retreated!" The Qin army retreated! ”

Zhao Kuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked up, the black Qin army array was under the pressure of the red-clothed Zhao army, and began to slowly squirm backwards.

But at this time, the Qin army's iron cavalry, which had been standing still, was dispatched, and the two cavalry smashed into the junction of red and black like a whirlwind, and forcibly freed the Qin infantry from the fierce fighting.

Under the cover of cavalry, the Qin army fought and retreated, and although the Zhao army was pressing step by step, it was never able to outflank and annihilate this Qin army.

"Mingjin retreats!" Seeing this scene, Zhao Kuo immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit and camp in place.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and in the autumn twilight, the generals who came one after another reported to Zhao Kuo the results of the inventory of the battlefield. In this battle, the Zhao army captured the forward front of the Qin army in one fell swoop, annihilated more than 30,000 Qin troops, and beheaded two captains. With only 8,000 casualties, it was a great victory.

"Zhao Zhuang!" Zhao Kuo looked like he had expected the outcome of the battle, and turned his head and shouted at Zhao Zhuang in the distance.

The surrounding generals hurriedly made way and watched Zhao Zhuang walk in front of Zhao Kuo.

"Zhao Zhuang, immediately let your 100,000 dead soldiers gather outside the camp, Ben Shuai has something to say." Zhao Kuo leaned over and whispered to Zhao Zhuang, "In this way, the general immediately secretly conveyed this order to the army." ”

After finishing the order, Zhao Kuo got up and said to the generals, "Today's battle shows the power of my Great Zhao Army, everyone go to rest, and fight the Qin Army tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!" The generals replied and dispersed.

Zhao Zhuang was really capable, and in a short time, the 100,000 army had been assembled in the valley on the side of the barracks. In the bleak autumn wind, Zhao Kuo slowly boarded the cloud car and shouted: "Soldiers! You are all the elite of my Great Zhao Iron Army! Speaking of this, Zhao Kuo choked up for a while, and bowed deeply to the soldiers around him, "The survival of Zhao Guo, please everyone!" ”

The army was stunned.

"Nine deaths! Herald! Father and son are here, father is out! The brothers are all here, and the eldest brother is out! Those who have only sons and no brothers are also listed! Zhao Kuoyan said, 100,000 Zhao troops looked at each other, but no one was willing to move.

Zhao Kuo's face changed: "Those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

But a sergeant shouted loudly: "We are all willing to fight the Qin army to the death!" ”

"Fight the Qin army to the death! Fight the Qin army to the death! Long live Zhao Jun! For a while, the shouts shook the entire river valley and mountains, and also shook Zhao Kuo's heart.

A line of tears slowly slid down Zhao Kuo's cheeks, and in the face of the group of impassioned soldiers in front of him, Zhao Kuo knelt on the ground with one leg, raised his hands above his head, and sighed: "Zhao Kuo has thanked you here!" ”

At the same time, the 100,000 Zhao troops actually unanimously bowed down in front of Zhao Kuo.

The air froze in an instant......
