With the sound of drums that resounded in the sky, the hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers of Zhao and Qin were entangled together without fancy and fought desperately.

Watching the battle of the army in the Cold Weapon Era up close, an indescribable shock filled Zhao Kuo's heart. The chariot soldiers behind the Qin State infantry phalanx were already ready to move, rushing out from behind with a rumbling sound.

This time, Zhao Kuo did not choose to carry Zhao's chariot soldiers, in this narrow terrain, the chariot phalanx is very difficult to deploy.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the chariot soldiers who have occupied a very important position have been handed down to the present, and it can be said that they are the end of the strong crossbow. Since the Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, the status of cavalry in various countries has been significantly improved, and the chariot soldiers have gradually declined.

However, at this time, Qin's chariots were like a rapidly approaching tank, and they were about to kill all the Zhao infantry outside the old pass.

In the face of the impact of the Qin State chariot soldiers' phalanx, Zhao Kuo was indifferent at all, and the crossbowmen who were eager to try behind him finally couldn't hold back the impulse in their hearts and launched a fatal blow to the chariot soldiers.

The Qin chariot soldiers turned a blind eye to the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and they only saw the enemy intertwined with the foot soldiers, as long as they crushed the foot soldiers of the Zhao State, the crossbowmen were of no avail.

Qian Jian led the infantry to react quickly, they chose to ignore the imminent impact of the chariot soldiers, and fought with the Qin army even harder. In order to prevent the chariots from attacking from the flanks, the Zhao army sent 20,000 men and horses to guard against possible enemy attacks.

Zhao Kuo looked at the soldiers of Zhao who were fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and for the first time really felt the true meaning of the bloody pestle. More than 100,000 foot soldiers fought together, and the blood soon stained the ground under their feet red, and countless spears and armor were scattered all over the ground.

Despite this, the soldiers of the Zhao army still fought hard forward, they knew that there was no retreat now, but if they had the intention of retreating, they would be trampled into corpses by the friendly troops advancing behind.

With the cooperation of crossbowmen and foot soldiers, the Zhao army gradually gained the upper hand, eating away at the Qin army little by little. Wang Yi sighed, remembered the order of the main general Bai Qi when he set out for the battle, and then the military flag was unfurled. The Qin army decisively abandoned the Zhao army, which was entangled with them, and retreated in the direction of the Dan River.

Qian Jian had already killed at this time, and when he saw the Qin army retreating, he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, sons, the bad seed of the Qin State has been defeated by us, follow me to pursue the Qin army!" ”

Just when the 60,000 foot soldiers were pursuing the Qin army under the leadership of Qian Jian, a crisp sound of gold suddenly sounded on the Danzhu Ridge. Qian Jian's consciousness that made Qian Jian's blood gush up immediately sobered up, and he waved his hand to stop the Zhao Guobu soldiers who were about to move behind him.

The scout rode over at this time and roared loudly: "General Kuo has an order, just repel the Qin army, don't pursue, Mingjin retreats!" ”

Zhao Kuo had already arranged for Lu Fang, who was temporarily acting as the deputy general, to observe in the viewing pavilion when he was about to leave the customs, and once he found signs of the Qin army's retreat, he immediately called in to withdraw his troops to prevent the Zhao army from getting carried away and falling into the trap of the Qin army.

Now it seems that Zhao Kuo's arrangement is appropriate, if there is no sound of Ming Jin on the old gate, Zhao Kuo wants to restrain Zhao Guo's foot soldiers who are red with blood, it is not so easy to do.

Qian Jian ran to Zhao Kuo naked, and said with a stiff neck: "General, why did you order us not to take advantage of the victory to pursue, the Qin army is just a chicken, tile dog, let the last general take down Wang Yu's head for the general to celebrate!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Kuo sat on the war horse, looked at the wandering Qian Jian and scolded, "You are still a general of the unified army, look at what you look like now, what kind of system you have become!" ”

In Zhao Kuo's shouting and scolding, Qian Jian's blood-stirred temperament gradually calmed down, and he quickly took the armor in the hands of the soldiers who followed him and put it on his body: "General, the retreat of the Qin army at this time is a great opportunity for our army to pursue, and the general must not miss the opportunity." ”

"Hmph, are you confused? Although the Qin army did not retreat, it was obviously just a blow up just now. You look at the situation where the Qin army retreated, if the Qin army set up an ambush on Daliang Mountain, and you hastily pursued with 60,000 foot soldiers, what would be the end? ”

Qian Jian turned around and gasped as he looked at the terrain in front of him. Sure enough, just like Zhao Kuo said, once the Qin army set up an ambush in Daliang Mountain, he would definitely lead the team to go and have no return.

Thinking of this, Qian Jian knelt on one knee and said ashamedly: "General, the last general is blind, and I ask the general to punish him." ”

"Haha, what to punish, you led 60,000 foot soldiers to repel the Qin army, this is a great achievement, how can I punish you! Quickly go to the whole army and return to Danzhuling. ”

"No."

Looking at the back of Qian Jian's departure, Zhao Kuo smiled wordlessly, and casually beckoned the scouts around him and instructed: "You quickly divide a team of scouts to go to the retreat route of the Qin army to investigate, if there is no ambush, give me to climb Daliang Mountain, I need a complete topographic map of Daliang Mountain, understand?" ”

"No!"

Zhao Kuo stretched his waist after doing this, Zhao Guo's foot soldiers are far from the Qin army in terms of combat effectiveness, and they still need to practice well, otherwise there is really a chance to encircle and annihilate the Qin army, and it is estimated that they will be turned passive into active by the enemy.

A small offensive and defensive battle came to an end, and after leaving tens of thousands of corpses on both sides, they retreated. For the Qin State, this was just a bait to catch the big fish of Zhao Kuo; As for Zhao Guo, it was just that he once again held the Danzhuling defense line and did not let Qin Guo cross here.

After Zhao Kuo returned to his hometown, he quickly summoned the generals of the whole army to the big tent of the Chinese army. When everyone sat down on their seats, Zhao Kuo couldn't wait to open his mouth and said, "Lu Fang, I arranged for you to wait to go to the viewing pavilion to watch, how do you feel?" ”

Repelling another attack by the Qin army made Lu Fang feel quite good, he said with a smile: "General Qian is worthy of being the first general in Handan Jiao, his foot soldiers are extremely brave, and they are really elite soldiers, we congratulate General Kuo on winning this fierce general!" ”

"Yes, General Qian took the lead and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the Qin army was not worth mentioning in front of General Qian!"

Listening to the voices of praise around him, even if Qian Jian kept warning himself to guard against arrogance and rashness, a smug smile inevitably appeared.

Zhao Kuo didn't think so, he patted the desk in front of him fiercely, frowned and said, "I didn't let you talk about it, but have you ever found a problem with our army?" ”

Zhao Kuo's words made the surrounding noise stop abruptly, and all the generals looked at each other, completely unclear about what Zhao Kuo's intentions were.

Zhao Kuo sighed, it was just a small victory, and he actually blindfolded the group of generals under him, which really made him not know what to say.
