Chapter 3: The Han Army Strikes

Holding the calf Zhai Mountain, Guan Ying, Ding Fu and two thousand Han soldiers waited quietly.

Looking down from the mountain, there were only sparse soldiers in the Zhao army's camp, and no one paid special attention to this side of the mountain of Hucaozhai, if they suddenly rushed over, they would definitely be able to seize it.

In the eyes of the two generals, the Zhao army camp was already in the bag.

It was about two quarters of an hour before the last group of the Zhao army set off, and Guan Ying was about to give the order to attack, when he saw a group of cavalry troops advancing rapidly in the south of the camp, judging from the armor and clothing, this was the cavalry of the Zhao army.

This is the 800 cavalry led by Zhao Xie, who rushed to the camp in the dust.

At the gate of the camp, there are more than a dozen soldiers guarding, and there are wooden horses in front of the gate of the camp.

Zhao Xie was the first to run to the gate and looked inside, only to see that it was empty, and there were few soldiers.

He secretly shouted that it was dangerous, and now it should be in the gap between Chen Yu and before the Han army attacked the camp after Chen Yu just sent out his troops. The soldiers guarding the gate were stunned when they saw the cavalry coming, this is from the south, it should be reinforcements, why is this just such a person?

Ouyang Ling and the soldiers soon arrived.

Ouyang Ling said loudly: "I am the cavalry commander Ouyang Ling, King Zhao is here in person, and I don't want to open the gate quickly!" ”

Zhao Xie took out the object to prove his identity and said loudly: "The widow is King Zhao, open the door quickly." ”

After the officer at the gate confirms his identity, he asks the soldiers to move the horse away.

At this time, Zhao Xie did not go in immediately, but looked to the northwest, where there was a more densely wooded mountain.

Zhao Xie pointed to the mountain with his left hand and said, "What kind of mountain is that?" ”

The gatekeeper replied, "Your Majesty, that's the Calf Mountain." ”

Sure enough, as long as there is no deviation from the original historical process, there must be a Han army lurking there, which is really thrilling, if it is delayed for half an hour, the large battalion may have fallen into the hands of the enemy.

In modern times, Zhao Xie is a fan of history and a lover of ancient military affairs, and he has a comprehensive and in-depth study of the late Qin, Chu and Han dynasties, including the Battle of Jingcheng, so he naturally understands the situation.

The victory or defeat of many historical wars and the fate of characters often lie in the decision of important people, or a short time difference.

After Zhao Xie looked at the mountain for eight or nine seconds, he couldn't see anything unusual at all, the Han army was well hidden, even if someone inadvertently looked over there, he couldn't see anything, how could he expect that there was an enemy.

He said to Ouyang Ling: "Send someone to closely monitor the calf village. ”

"No"

Ouyang Ling gave the order and immediately arranged it.

Zhao Xie rode his horse into the camp again.

——————

Hugging the calf Zhai Mountain, the baby looked at all this in his eyes, and the person headed by Zhao Jun deliberately looked at this side, and was shocked: Was it discovered by Zhao Jun?

"Brothers, rush down with me and take the Zhao army camp."

The baby gave a loud order, and the task given by the general must be completed.

In an instant, 2,000 lightly armed cavalry rushed down the mountain.

——————

At this time, Zhao Xie had just entered the camp.

In the Zhao army, the guards who were arranged by Chen Yu to stay in the camp hurriedly came out.

"The last general will meet the king!"

The guard's name is Yu Wei, and the military rank is a captain, and he saluted Zhao Xie.

Although Zhao Xie came suddenly, he had seen Zhao Xie before and did not suspect the identity of King Zhao.

Zhao Xie asked, "When did Chen Yu set off?" How many people are still in the camp? ”

Yu Wei said respectfully: "Back to the king, the general set off at two o'clock, leaving only the last general and five hundred soldiers in the camp. ”

Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door.

"Spot the enemy! Spot the enemy forces! ”

The soldiers at the door shouted loudly, this was the voice of the soldiers Ouyang Ling had just arranged.

Zhao Xie drew his saber and gave a loud order: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

Coming from Xiangguo with an army, riding a horse and running for a day and a night, Zhao Xie's body can be said to be exhausted. But when the enemy attacked, the nerves that had been relaxed tightened again, and that tiredness was no longer nothing.

Yu Wei immediately issued the corresponding order.

The horn sounded, and the 500 remaining soldiers and 800 cavalry in the camp immediately took action.

Ouyang Ling finally understood what was going on, and said to Zhao Xie: "King, you are really like a god, the big camp is guarded by so many people, if the Han army suddenly appears and is taken by surprise, the big camp is very likely to be lost." ”

Although he had met King Zhao before, Chen Yu had always been in charge of the army, and he had heard that King Zhao did not understand military affairs, and it seemed that the rumors were wrong.

Zhao Xie said: "Only by blocking the offensive of the Han army can we tide over the crisis, and there can not be too many people in the Han army's surprise attack, as long as you can hold the camp." ”

The soldiers who were originally in the tent all ran out, took up arms, and went to a suitable defensive position. Now it was a battle to defend the camp, and the cavalry all dismounted.

Ouyang Ling quickly assigned tasks, and two hundred archers were very important defensive forces, or three or five people, or a dozen people, and they were assigned to various important positions.

In many positions such as the lookout platform, the arrow tower, and the gate behind the horse rejection of the large camp, there are soldiers with bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

The Han light cavalry was rushing rapidly, and soon rushed to a distance of two arrows from the camp.

The horn of the Zhao army's camp just now, the Han soldiers and soldiers heard it, and the Zhao army had quickly prepared for defense, and there were Zhao army archers in many positions.

Among them, the number of archers behind the gate to block the horse was the largest, a total of eighty people.

Guan Ying and Ding Fu looked at the situation in front of them, it was really unexpected, why did Zhao Jun suddenly have cavalry coming?

What they didn't know was that it was King Zhao who led the troops.

In any case, the Zhao army camp must be taken.

"Brothers, concentrate on attacking the gate of the camp, and you must rush in."

The baby gave the order decisively.

These cavalry were personally trained by Han Xin, who was known as the "soldier immortal", and had strict military discipline, not only had a stronger individual combat ability than the cavalry of the Zhao army, but also was good at team coordination and cooperation.

After Guan Ying gave the order, the Han cavalry quickly formed a formation.

Of the 2,000 cavalry of the Han army, 100 were equipped with bows and arrows, and all of them dismounted to shoot at the Zhao army to cover the advance of the attacking troops.

Yu Wei ordered: "Shield cover!" ”

Soon a group of soldiers with shields in their hands quickly ran in front of the archers.

If an enemy archer comes into range, they will be the first to fire their arrows, then crouch down to defend themselves against the enemy's arrows under shield cover, and then stand up to shoot at the enemy, and then crouch down to shoot their arrows.

If there is no threat from enemy archers, they stand and shoot arrows all the time.

Although the Zhao army was not as well-trained as the Han army, it was at least a qualified soldier.

On the side of the Han army, the formation had been arranged, and a hundred archers were facing the gate of the Zhao army's camp, with hundreds of cavalry on each side on the left and right.

This time, the Han army set out for a sneak attack, without a shield, and the baby could only make the most reasonable arrangements according to the situation.

At the sound of the baby's order, the archers quickly rushed forward, and when they rushed to a distance of about an arrow, they concentrated on shooting arrows at the Zhao army guarding the door.

Zhao Jun shot an arrow almost at the same time, and then quickly crouched down.

A round of bows and arrows fired at each other, and more than 20 people in the Han army were hit by arrows.

However, due to the rapid squatting down of the Zhao army after shooting the arrow, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield in front, and only a few arrows happened to be shot between the gaps in the shield, resulting in three Zhao soldiers being hit by arrows.

While shooting arrows, the Han cavalry on either side of the archers quickly rushed forward.

The Zhao army was on guard and added 800 new troops, and the Han army could only rush to the camp with the help of the cover of archers.
