Quwo.

This is a very special city for the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, the small sect of the Jin State rebelled against it as a base, and finally usurped the throne of the great sect, which also buried the hidden danger of civil strife in the Jin Dynasty and even the later division of the country.

When the Jin state was finally divided into the three states of Han, Zhao, and Wei, it also became the land of the Wei state, and is now part of the Hedong County of the Qin state.

After several days of arduous marching, the general of Zhao led more than 4,000 elite soldiers of Zhao to Quwo City.

The march made Le Cheng look a little tired, but his figure was still straight, and his eyes were blazing at the big city in front of him.

The defenders of Quwo City looked clearly prepared, and the walls were full of people, and many Qin archers could be seen.

Lecheng's eyes stared at the big city in front of him, and he was also very emotional in his heart.

Thinking about how majestic the Jin State was in Dingdu back then, even if a powerful country like Qin and Chu joined forces, it would only be able to expand the Jin State, a low-grade overlord.

But now all this has been blown away by the wind and rain, the overlord Jin State has long since disappeared, and Quwo, the former capital of the Jin Kingdom, has long since lost its glory and has become an ordinary city.

But even so, the tall and heavy city walls and vast city still prove how prosperous this place was back then.

Le Cheng stared at the walls of Quwo City for several minutes, and finally waved his hand decisively: "Send the order down, the whole army will bypass Quwo City and continue to go south!" ”

For the current Lecheng, attacking the city is actually not his goal, and it is very difficult to capture a fortified city like Quwo with the little force in his hand.

Rushing south to meet Zhao Kuo and help Zhao Kuo completely control the 50,000 soldiers of the Qin State, so as to lay the overall situation of the entire Hedong County battlefield, is what Lecheng should do now.

As for this Quwo City, it will naturally be dealt with by the main force of the Three Jin Coalition led by Lian Po.

However, what made Le Cheng feel relieved was that as long as he arrived here, he would only be a day or two away from the Qin army camp in Anyi.

Victory is at hand.

But at this time, the scout suddenly came quickly and reported a message to Lecheng.

"General, a group of Qin troops appeared in the south, and it seems to be a rout!"

"What?" Lecheng was stunned for a moment.

You must know that at this moment, the one who is at the forefront of the charge is Lecheng's army, and any other troops of the Sanjin Coalition Army are behind Lecheng's ass, and it is two days away from here.

Could it be that there was still a Zhao army in front of Le Cheng and defeated the Qin army?

Impossible.

Le Cheng immediately asked, "How many Qin troops are there?" ”

The scout replied, "About three thousand." ”

As soon as he heard this number, Lecheng finally felt a lot more relieved, and immediately decisively ordered: "Order down, the whole army is on alert, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

After a pause, Le Cheng added: "At the same time, we must also guard the direction of Quwo City, so as not to be attacked by the Qin defenders in Quwo City!" ”

After all, Le Cheng was a veteran general in the army, and the soldiers he led were the elite of the elite, so after this order, the entire army quickly lined up and showed their weapons, ready to welcome the arrival of the enemy.

Just when the soldiers of Zhao State were nervously arrayed, Le Cheng also led his guards to climb the nearby commanding heights, a small hill, and began to observe the enemy's movements.

Lecheng soon saw the Qin army that the scout was talking about.

On the plain, about a few miles away from Lecheng, a Qin army was running in chaos.

This Qin army looked quite embarrassed, the team was very scattered, running and coaxing like headless flies, losing its armor and being embarrassed, it was indeed an out-and-out rout, as the scout said.

After confirming this, Lecheng's heart was really surprised.

Could it really be that an elite army of the Zhao State attacked outside the city of Anyi without Le Cheng's knowledge, and defeated the Qin troops there?

At this moment, a subordinate standing beside Le Cheng suddenly said: "General, look, behind this rout of the Qin State, there is still a team chasing them!" ”

"What?" When Le Cheng heard this, he immediately turned his eyes to the back of this rout, and sure enough, he found that there was smoke and dust behind this rout, and it was obvious that there were cavalry chasing and the cavalry was chasing.

Something happened that made Le Cheng even more surprised, because he suddenly found that the cavalry chasing this rout of the Qin army turned out to be the cavalry of the Qin State.

Qin's cavalry chased and killed Qin's infantry, what kind of routine is this?

"Could it be that the people of the Qin State are infighting?" Le Cheng touched his head a little puzzled, and suddenly realized: "I understand, is it Zhao Kuo?" ”

In fact, the situation is very obvious, there was indeed a Zhao army before Lecheng, and this Zhao army was none other than the hundreds of Zhao troops led by Zhao Kuo.

Judging from the previous intelligence, it is very likely that Zhao Kuo has mastered a part of the Qin army and has clashed with another part of the Qin army.

Only in this way can we explain the current situation of "the Qin army chasing the Qin army".

In this case, there is only one problem that Lecheng needs to focus on now.

In the end, which of the two Qin armies chasing and fleeing was the army led by Zhao Kuo?

While Lecheng was thinking, the two troops had gradually narrowed the distance between them and Lecheng's headquarters.

Cheng Cheng waved his hand very calmly and gave the order.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

Under this order, the soldiers of Zhao took their bows and crossbows from behind them, and then immediately wound them, preparing to give the enemy in front of them a fierce rain of arrows.

Lecheng thought for a moment, and then continued to give the order.

"Raise the flag!"

A red flag of Zhao was immediately raised, flying high on the small hill where Lecheng was located.

After the rout army that fled to the forefront found the red flag of Zhao Guo raised high, the direction of escape that originally wanted to bypass the hill immediately changed, and it became directly in the direction of Lecheng.

After seeing this situation, Le Cheng couldn't help frowning, and muttered, "The situation is not good...... Don't let go of your arrows and wait for my orders! ”

After another moment, the Qin army that was running at the front had already entered the range of the Zhao army's bow and arrow, and the Qin cavalry, which had been chasing behind the rout, was about to catch up with them, and had already begun to bend their bows and shoot arrows on their horses, shooting the fleeing routers.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps......

It was also at this time that someone suddenly shouted loudly among the Qin army in front of Lecheng.

"Don't shoot arrows, I'm Zhao Kuo, the county lieutenant of Shangdang County of Zhao State! Who is the leader ahead? ”

"Zhao Kuo?" Le Cheng's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the source of the voice, and sure enough, he found the embarrassed Zhao Kuo in this rout.

Lecheng let out a long breath, couldn't help but shake his head, and gave another order.

"Put this Qin army rout in front of you and prepare to meet the Qin cavalry behind them!"
