The Qi defense line centered on Linzi City stretches for hundreds of miles. More than 100,000 troops blocked the way forward. The reason why the 5,000 black-armored cavalry, who had made a long detour to the rear on the left and the rear of the left, chose to attack first in this direction was a decision made after preliminary observation and evaluation.

Tiezhong Quinoa is also a fierce general in the Qin army. Although his fame is not as great as that of the eight famous generals, he is actually very powerful. Over the years, he has followed Mu Xueqing to defend the northwest for the King of Qin, fighting against the barbarians, dozens of sizes, and is famous for his iron-blooded cruelty. Because of this, he was able to be reused by the King of Qin. And as Mu Xueqing's general, he is deeply respected.

There is no doubt that if he makes another great contribution in the battle of Vaqi this time, then he is likely to truly become a famous general of Qin. Even if it was only for this goal, Tie Zhong Quinoa had already made up his mind to carry out a merciless killing of the Qi people on the opposite side.

Although 5,000 cavalry is not much, in his hands, it can exert unexpected power. The task given to him by Mu Xueqing was for him to break through the left defense line of the Qi army. The reason why you can choose from here as a breakthrough battle is because all the grain, grass, baggage and logistics supplies in the Qi army and Linzi City are all transported from this direction. As long as this passage is cut off, the initiative to win will be in the hands of you in advance.

I have to say that the vision of a famous general is different. And Tie Zhongquinoa, who understood the meaning of the main general very well, did not live up to expectations, and he did not let the enemy notice half a point from the dispatch to the ambush for half a day. Now that the time has come, the time to break the enemy is just around the corner.

The iron armor is like ink, and the battle robe is flying. A quarter of an hour later, the army defending here finally discovered the enemy's surprise attack. And by this time, it was already a little too late.

The galloping cavalry of the Qin State rushed past the obstacles in front of the Qi army before the enemy's feather arrows arrived. The soldiers were fast, lightning fast, and in the blink of an eye, the long knife fell on the head of the Qi army. The Qi army, which was hastily organized to meet the enemy, could not stop this volley blow at all. After suffering heavy casualties in the first round, it soon began to lose one after another.

After all, how could the Qi army, which had been neglecting the war for a long time, be the opponent of the cavalry of the Qin State? Seeing that their former comrades were dying in front of them, their only choice but to continue to rush forward to their deaths was to hope that they could stand the defeated and retreat, and then wait for the rescue of friendly troops.

The general who led the Qi army in charge of garrisoning in this direction was named Tian Feng, and he was also a descendant of the nobles of the royal family. Seeing the ferocity of the attacking enemy army, after he sent out to report for help, he gritted his teeth and quickly adjusted his defense, while personally leading his henchmen to supervise the battle. Now his greatest wish is not to win, but how to stop the momentum of the rout, so as to win a chance to survive for the tens of thousands of horses under his command.

It seems a little funny to say, nearly 30,000 or 40,000 Qi troops can't resist the impact of 5,000 cavalry, and they almost have no power to fight back. But that's the reality right in front of you. In many cases, the key to the outcome of a war is not the number of people, let alone courage and fear of death. In the case of a disparity in power, it is tantamount to a one-sided massacre.

Tian Feng led his soldiers, and after some desperate resistance, he was forced to retreat twenty or thirty miles, abandoning most of the camps he was stationed in. Then he took a dangerous position in a hilly area, and the hoofs of the enemy's pursuing horses came to rest for a moment. And they're finally getting a chance to catch their breath.

Looking at the cavalry who were showing off their might, the soldiers of the Qi State felt an inexplicable sadness from top to bottom. Regardless of the huge casualties they suffered, the loss of the camp they were originally stationed in is equivalent to a hole in the Taiyue defense line, which is the most deadly. It was especially important that in this way, all the grain and grass transported from the rear to the front line of the Qi army, including the supply of Linzi City, were completely exposed to the blades of the enemy's cavalry. That line of transport is no longer safe. Perhaps, this is the main intention of the enemy commander!

Tian Feng, who wanted to understand this, hated and ashamed, but he was helpless. He, like all the soldiers of the Qi army, knew very well in his heart that the Taiyue defense line, which would soon be choked by the throat, was likely to be unable to hold it.

"General, what do we do now?"

Several generals and lieutenants with bloodied faces gathered around him, waiting for the final decision. Until reinforcements arrive, there are now only two paths in front of them. Otherwise, they will continue to retreat until they have completely lost part of the defensive line on the left flank, which may save the lives of most of the men. If they hesitate and lack food and grass, it is likely that they will not be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry.

"The actions of the enemy cavalry raid are definitely not isolated...... So, I suspect we may not be able to wait for reinforcements anytime soon! ”

After a little silence, Tian Feng finally expressed his worries in his heart. As a general, if he doesn't even have this vision, then he is too bad. And it wasn't that none of his subordinates thought of this, and someone asked in surprise.

"Did the general mean...... It wasn't just our left flank that was attacked, did the enemy launch it on all fronts? ”

"That's how it should be! Now this enemy cavalry is like a pack of hungry wolves, keeping an eye on us at all times. If General Zou of Linzi City has no time to send troops to support...... Then we can only make our own choices! ”

Everyone fell silent, and they couldn't help but look at each other with a look of surprise on their faces. They all understood the meaning of Tian Feng's words. If a big war really unfolds, I'm afraid that even Linzi City will face a difficult choice. Whether we can send troops over to support is only God knows! And the situation they face when these remnants of the army are defeated will also be very dangerous.

After the approximate count, there should be more than 20,000 Qi troops left who had fled here. In other words, after the battle just now, nearly half of the men and horses were lost. This is a very serious blow to the morale of the military. Now these Qi troops, who have lost their confidence in fighting, if they continue to retreat immediately, then there is no doubt that their fate will be tragic.

"General! What do you say? ”

The generals looked at the murderous cavalry with some fear, and it seemed that they would attack again at any moment. Even if you occupy this hill, it doesn't seem to be safe.

Tian Feng's face was also a little depressed. He came from an aristocratic family and had never experienced too much war. Later, although he became a general, he just read a few more military books. As for the tragic battle in front of him, it was the first time he had experienced it personally. However, after all, he is a person who really thinks about the interests of the Qi country, whether it is for the rise and fall of the country or his own family, when it is time to make sacrifices, he can also make a decision on the spot.

"We have lost the most important line of defense on the left flank, and if this war, the Qi army will be defeated on all fronts. Then the Qi Kingdom is finished...... Each and every one of us will be a sinner by the thousand! Now that it is death to stay, and it is death to continue to retreat, why not take out the courage to break the kettle and fight to the death again! ”

Hearing General Tian Feng's words, the wind changed, and he began to become tragic and excited. All the generals and lieutenants around him looked up in surprise. I saw him pull out the sword in his hand again, polishing its edge with his bloody battle robe.

"I have already decided, just under this mountain, to fight to the death with the enemy, and never take a step back! If you really want to die, die here...... What do you think? ”

A general of noble origin can make an oath of death. Then the other soldiers who still have a strong spirit in their hearts are naturally stimulated by the blood in their chests. Half of the Qi country has been lost, if they can't hold on to this half of the mountains and rivers behind them, then they will all become people who have lost the country!

"I am willing to fight with the general to the end! Never take a step back. ”

"Good! Then let me kill you! ”

Tian Feng finally glanced back in the direction of Linzi City, and he seemed to have faintly heard the sound of war drums hundreds of miles away. I couldn't help but sigh, and as expected, the fierce battle over there also began. He no longer hesitated, brandished his long sword and rushed out first. And following him, all the soldiers of the Qi State, whether they were injured or not, all raised their arms and shouted, and they also rushed down, and a loud battle began.

Tie Zhong Quinoa, who led 5,000 cavalry to pursue, had already passed down the order, and when he was waiting for the Qi army to continue to escape, he wiped them all out in one go. In his expectation, these vulnerable Qi troops would not have any other accidents except fleeing for their lives. However, what he didn't expect was that the sheep in his eyes dared to take the initiative to attack. Looking at the Qi troops who were swarming down from the heights of the mountains, he and his soldiers were a little stunned. However, with a sneer, General Qin immediately passed down the order.

"Guy who can't help himself...... Kill them all! ”

So, after a few breaths, a tragic battle really began. The Qi people who were holding the heart of death were not a little timid this time, and they rushed up round after round, wrapping their bodies with shields and swords, trying to force the enemy's cavalry back. However, even with such courage, they could not escape the fate of defeat after all.

Under the swing of iron hooves and blades, hundreds of Qi soldiers fell. Their blood flowed at the foot of Mount Taeak, the autumn grass was yellow, gradually red, and life seemed meaningless.

Under Linzi City, the Qin-Yan coalition army, which was personally supervised by Mu Xueqing, also officially began the siege battle.

It's just that whether it is the Qi army or the Qin Yan army, they didn't realize that there was a Zhao army that didn't know where it came from, and suddenly stepped on the battlefield and began to show its grandeur.
