Chapter 507: A Good Opportunity to Break Zhao? Wei Wuji's hesitation (second update)

Looking at ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, since the birth of the concept of the army, the four words of order and prohibition are definitely the most important law.

In the middle of the battlefield, the cavalry of the Zhao State began to slowly retreat after hearing the sound of drums, preparing to leave the battlefield.

The cavalry of Qi and Wei, who had been entangled with the cavalry of Zhao State, were killed, and the first thought of subconsciously was naturally to pursue the victory.

But things soon changed again.

After hearing the sound of cymbals from the main formation, the momentum of the pursuit of the chariot cavalry of the Wei State obviously stagnated, and began to show signs of slowing down or even retreating.

The chariots and cavalry of the Qi State continued to pursue regardless of it.

After all, that was not a signal from the Qi army.

In this way, the chariots and cavalry of the Qi State happened to encounter the oncoming infantry vanguard of the Zhao State.

Since it was an active retreat, it was obvious that Zhao Jun had been prepared for the current situation.

Therefore, after the chariot cavalry of the Qi State chased after them for a while, they found that a crossbow phalanx had appeared in front of them at some point.

A neat phalanx of crossbowmen with their crossbows wound and even aimed.

"Launch!" The pioneer of Zhao State, who had been prepared for a long time, shouted loudly, and thousands of Zhao crossbow soldiers stood at the front and pressed the hanging knife hard.

"Whoosh!"

The dense crossbow arrows roared through the air, instantly completely covering the hundreds of Qi cavalry and chariot soldiers who rushed ahead.

The cavalry of the Qi State wore most of the simple leather armor, and although the chariot soldiers were all heavily armoured, the leather covered by the helmets of the horses they pulled could only play the role of simple protective bows and arrows, but it was far from enough for the crossbows fired by the crossbows.

After two rounds of crossbow bolts, the corpses of Qi cavalry and overturned chariots were everywhere in front of the Zhao army's infantry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the Qi cavalry began to stop one after another, turned their horses' heads and retreated.

But it was at this time that the cavalry of the Zhao State, which had already retreated to the two wings of the infantry, suddenly turned around and killed again.

The tide turned.

Wei Wuji couldn't help but shake his head slightly as he looked at the Qi State chariots and cavalry who were extremely embarrassed by the cavalry of the Zhao Army.

"Beat the drums and attack the flank of the Zhao army!"

The drums in the Wei position suddenly became excited, the huge Wei flag kept dancing, and the vanguard troops of the Wei army began to swarm out, heading towards the left flank of the Zhao army.

On the other side, Kuang Liang, the commander of the Qi army, also chose the same way of attack, which was also discussed in advance.

In the face of the tactics of the two armies of Qi and Wei, Lian Po's decision was also very simple.

Division of troops.

The vanguard army of the Zhao army, which was originally densely packed, suddenly split into two and met the armies of Qi and Wei respectively.

Wei Wuji stared at the situation in front of him, a hint of surprise on his face, and a hint of doubt at the same time.

"Lian Po is so confident that he wants to rely on the hard power of the Zhao army to defeat me and Kuang Liang on the frontal battlefield?"

That's where the battle is headed, at least for now.

In this way, it is pure hard power to speak.

If that's the case, then it's not necessarily clear who wins and loses this battle at the moment.

In the middle of the battlefield, there was already a sound of killing at this moment.

The armies of the two sides clapped together like two surging tides, and everyone was in the middle of these two rolling tides, and they could not help but advance towards the front line where the battle was fiercest.

Countless swords danced in the air, bringing up bloody rain and bloody winds, harvesting great heads.

The most effective weapons of destruction are spears and longges.

In such an inch-a-inch-strong situation, the difference between the length of the spear and the sword is sometimes the difference between death and life.

With just a single stab, the sharp tip of the spear can easily pierce through the enemy's leather armor and chest, taking the lives of enemy soldiers.

Whether it was the Qi-Wei coalition or the Zhao soldiers, the people on the front line always collided with each other at great speed, and then fell in rows like harvested wheat.

Without any grief or crying, or even time to think, the comrades behind them would immediately pick up their place, step over their corpses, and continue to attack the enemy in front of them.

Bloody.

The heavy smell of blood permeated every corner of the air, everyone seemed to have gone crazy, everyone's eyes were red, and there was no thought in their minds except for the heavy killing machine, and after seeing the enemy, they didn't even have time to curse a few words, so they brandished their weapons and started directly to fight with white knives.

The battlefield is like a dark vortex of immense depth, constantly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides of the war, and it seems to be never-ending.

As the minutes ticked by, Wei Wuji's brows gradually furrowed.

This was already the third hour of the war between the two sides, and the casualties presented in front of Wei Wuji had reached a very shocking number.

But this is not the point, the point is that Wei Wuji found that after these two hours of fierce battle, the situation of the battle has changed again compared to the beginning.

Facing the left flank of the Zhao army, the Wei army began to gradually gain the upper hand.

After all, the world-famous Xinling Jun's military skills are not in vain, not to mention that in the confrontation of this infantry, Wei Wuji still has such a big killer weapon as Wei Wushu in his hands.

After investing three thousand Wei warriors, with the bravery of these elite veterans, gaps began to appear in the left flank of the Zhao army, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they broke through.

But on the other side of the battlefield, Wei's ally Qi army slowly became inferior.

Although the skilled fighters of the Qi State are known as all-rounders in car, riding and walking, all-round usually means moderation, or being able to do anything but not being good at anything.

Such a skilled fighter is obviously not the opponent of the infantry of the Zhao State who once confronted the Great Qin Iron Army head-on.

The war finally reached a most critical watershed.

As long as the Wei army can take the lead in defeating the left flank of the Zhao army, then it can take advantage of the situation to sweep the other troops of the Zhao army, thus establishing a victory in one fell swoop.

Conversely, if the right flank of the Zhao army crushed the Qi people first, then Wei Wuji would have no choice but to retreat.

This battle has been fought until now, and Wei Wuji still has 40,000 elite soldiers in his hands who are still standing still.

As long as these 40,000 elite soldiers were put into battle, Wei Wuji was confident that he would be able to completely crush the left flank of the Zhao army within two quarters of an hour.

But Wei Wuji was a little hesitant at the moment, not because he doubted his own judgment, but because he was worried about another issue.

"Where are the armored cavalry of the Zhao State?"

According to the information obtained by Wei Wuji, at least 2,000 armored cavalry accompanied Lian Po on the expedition.

But this battle has been fought until now, and these two thousand armored cavalry have not appeared.

This is the biggest concern in Wei Wuji's heart.

It's just that the current situation has reached the most critical moment, Wei Wuji hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"Pass the order, order 20,000 Chinese troops to press, and be sure to crush the left flank of the Zhao army as quickly as possible! Leave another 20,000 soldiers and horses on the left side to stand guard, ready to support the Qi army at any time! ”
