Chapter 508: The Unexpected Lian Po (Third Update)

On the other side, Lian Po, the commander of the Zhao army, looked quite calm.

The fierce battle did not seem to affect the old general.

Perhaps because he had experienced too many wars, the expression on Lian Po's face didn't even fluctuate too much, and there was Yu Yu and Le Cheng on the side to discuss the battle situation.

"Lecheng, what do you think of the current war?"

Compared with Lian Po, Le Cheng's face was much more solemn: "General, the pressure on the left wing is too great, and it may be broken through by the Wei people at any time, so please send troops to support the general quickly!" ”

"Support?" Lian Po glanced at Le Cheng, and said a little meaninglessly: "Do you want me to send troops to support the left flank?" ”

"Exactly! Now there are at least 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Chinese army, and if they can top the left flank, then they should be able to hold out until the defeat of the Qi army. ”

Lian Po shook his head and said, "Wei Wuji must have an elite army in his hands now, if I use these 20,000 soldiers and horses to support the left flank, do you know that Wei Wuji will not be pressed by the whole army?" As a result, the situation of the war has not changed in any way. ”

Le Cheng thought for a while and said, "So the general wants to defeat the Qi army on the right flank first?" ”

Lian Po laughed: "Exactly." ”

Le Cheng hurriedly said: "But now that the pressure on the left flank is so great, why doesn't the general put his troops into the right flank as soon as possible?" If the left wing is broken through by Wei Wuji first, then the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Wei Wuji can't break through the left wing." Lian Po said such a sentence confidently, then looked up at the sky above his head, and muttered softly.

"It's time, too."

After saying this sentence again, Lian Po turned to his back and ordered: "Beat the drum and give the order, and the whole army will attack!" ”

The majestic drums once again resounded through the sky of the entire battlefield.

Even on the other side of the battlefield, Kuang Liang, the commander of the Qi army, still heard this drum beat from the Zhao army's position.

"The people of Zhao are going to launch a general attack!" Kuang Liang's heart suddenly tightened, and then he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order all troops to press up, and be sure to block the attack of the Zhao army!" ”

By this time, the two sides were already at a loss, and it was time for their respective showdowns.

As the weakest of the three parties, Kuang Liang, the main general of the Qi State, finally had to play the last card in his hand.

Kuang Liang threw the tens of thousands of reserves that could still be used into the battlefield, just to block the ferocious offensive of the Zhao army and buy enough time for the Wei army to defeat the other wing of the Zhao army.

The battle situation on this wing of the entire battlefield has finally completely entered the white heat.

On the other hand, also after Wei Wuji invested all his troops, the Wei army, with Wei Wushu as the main force, began to break through the blockade line of the Zhao army layer by layer.

The position on the left flank of the Zhao army began to be pressed back step by step by the Wei army, and then retreated, like a bowstring that was full, and it could be completely broken with a "snap" at any time.

Whether it is the Zhao army or the Wei Qi coalition army, what the two sides have to do at this moment is to race against time and seize time!

Wei Wuji stared at the battlefield in front of him, his heart fluctuating, with a little apprehension.

"Breakthrough, breakthrough, you must break through first!"

No one knew the significance of this battle better than Wei Wuji himself.

Suddenly, Wei Wuji sensed something, and suddenly raised his head, looking towards the battlefield on the side of the Qi State several miles away.

In the position of the Qi army, there seems to be some kind of commotion.

And this kind of riot is still expanding at an unexpectedly fast pace.

Looking from Wei Wuji's side, many Qi troops seemed to suddenly turn into headless flies and began to run in a panic.

The uneasy premonition in Wei Wuji's heart began to become stronger: "Could it be ......?"

It was at this time that a dull-sounding sound of horses' hooves began to pass through the noisy sounds of countless battlefields, faintly reaching Wei Wuji's ears.

The earth began to shake.

The riot of the Qi army became more obvious, and countless Qi soldiers threw down their weapons and began to flee in panic.

Wei Wuji's worries took effect, and the people of Qi were still in trouble.

A black torrent suddenly appeared in Wei Wuji's sight.

Thousands of armored cavalrymen marched forward in the Qi army's position with spears even longer than the cavalry themselves, their incomparably heavy armor stained with countless blood and minced flesh, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight, making Wei Wuji's eyes squint slightly.

Invincible.

In front of these monster-like heavy cavalry, all the Qi soldiers who dared to resist were ruthlessly torn to pieces.

Wei Wuji stood quietly on top of his chariot, watching as the countless soldiers of the Zhao State followed closely and rushed into the formation of the Qi army with the big gaps torn by these armored cavalry, completely scattering and crushing the entire Qi army's formation.

The Qi people began to rout.

Although he didn't see what happened, Wei Wuji still understood what was going on at once.

Weak first and then strong.

Wei Wuji didn't know if Kuang Liang had heeded his reminders and made the necessary defensive preparations against Zhao's armored cavalry.

But Wei Wuji knew very well that when Kuang Liang put all his troops into the frontal battlefield, even if there were any preparations, the people of Qi would not be needed.

If you don't even have soldiers, how can you defend against the assault of armored cavalry?

Therefore, when the Qi people were trying their best to resist the offensive of the Zhao army, the sudden appearance of armored cavalry and the all-out assault became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In fact, this can't be called a stunning strategy or conspiracy, Lian Po simply found out that the combat effectiveness of the Qi army was insufficient, and then took advantage of this in this war, went all out to suppress the Qi army to the extreme, and finally used the armored cavalry to make a final decision.

After thinking about this, Wei Wuji suddenly regretted it.

If this is the case, then Lian Po should have taken Qi as the main direction of attack, so the number of troops in front of the Wei army should not be as many as Wei Wuji thought......

In other words, if Wei Wuji had put all the 40,000 main forces of Wei into the attack two quarters of an hour earlier, it was very likely that he would have crushed the left flank of the Zhao army first, thus completely turning the tide of the battle.

However, Wei Wuji kept a hand in order to defend against the armored cavalry that would appear at some point, and only let 20,000 Wei troops go into the attack, but let the other 20,000 Wei troops prepare to defend against the surprise attack of armored cavalry.

Perhaps it is this subtle difference that leads to a completely different situation in the whole battle.

Wei Wuji let out a long sigh, a bit of bitterness welling up in his heart.

"Lian Po, Lian Po, I didn't expect you to be able to still be so risky in such a situation......"

Wei Wuji's heart was a little bitter.

If he had known about Lian Po's plan in advance, then Wei Wuji could easily have done so.

It's a pity that although Lian Po's plan seems very reckless, it is beyond Wei Wuji's expectations, and Kuang Liang's expectations.

That's why there is now the scene of the rout of the Qi army in front of Wei Wuji.

Now that the Qi army has been defeated, there is no point in continuing this war.

Wei Wuji turned his head and gave the order with some difficulty.

"Mingjin withdrew his troops, abandoned the camp outside the city, and the whole army ...... Retreat into Gaotang City! ”
