Chapter 55: The War Is Deadlocked
The Qin army's attack under Bai Qi's command did not have any time for the Zhao army to rest, and even under this kind of terrain, it still rushed towards the Hyun clan like a tide.
Hyun is like a small boat swaying in the waves of the sea, which may capsize at any time.
Fortunately, Zhao Kuo had seen the Qin army's fearless charge when he was in Changping Pass and his hometown, and he had prepared an adequate response early on.
Although the current Qin army's attack strength is twice as strong as before, the Hyun clan is still in the hands of the Zhao army, and it does not allow the Qin army to capture it immediately.
Cloud ladders against fork poles, crossbow arrows against crossbow arrows, climbing against rolling stones, nearly 700,000 soldiers of the Zhao and Qin armies fought to the death in Hyun City.
The sound of fighting has resounded throughout the Changping area, making the sound of drums a kind of foil.
In such a high-intensity offensive and defensive battle, Zhao Guo's soldiers also showed that their combat effectiveness was not weaker than that of the Qin army, which allowed Zhao Kuo's defensive arrangement to be realized.
The ladders were pushed out by the soldiers of Zhao when they did not reach the city wall of the Hyun clan, and it was difficult for the Qin army to cross the thunder pond except for a small number of troops who successfully climbed the city wall.
Looking at the stalemate of the battle, Bai Qi's face became more and more ugly, he couldn't imagine that he had exhausted the army of the Qin State, and he was helpless against a small Hyun Clan City.
Thinking of this, his gaze turned to the soldiers who were waiting in battle behind him, these elite expressions of the Qin State were also looking at Bai Qi who was sitting on a horse, they knew that the time for meritorious service was coming.
Bai Qi hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still did not send the trapped soldiers to the front. These elites of the Qin State were to defeat the Zhao army in the field, not to fall into the brutal battle of siege.
Under the walls of the Hyun clan, there were corpses of Qin soldiers. As if turning a blind eye, the Qin army in the rear stepped on the corpses of their comrades and attacked the Hyun clan again.
Zhao Kuo looked at the tragic offensive and defensive battles on the city wall, and he was also silently thinking about how long he could hold on.
At this time, Lin Yi excitedly ran to Zhao Kuo's side and shouted: "General, general, the Qin people have withdrawn!" ”
Zhao Kuo was in disbelief when he heard this, the Qin people's attack was like a tide, how could they suddenly retreat?
Zhao Kuo immediately walked to the edge of the city wall, and at this time, tens of thousands of soldiers in Zhao State costumes suddenly burst out from the direction of Han Wang Mountain, like a sharp knife, straight into the heart of the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Bastard, whoever let them attack now is simply more than enough to succeed!" Lin Yi, Lu Fang, follow me out of the city to kill the enemy! ”
Bai Qi looked at the gate of the Hyun clan that was suddenly opened, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately ordered the Qin army to retreat to the west bank of the Dan River.
Although I don't understand why the main general chose to retreat at this time, but seeing that Zhao Guo's soldiers had already rushed over from the rear, the Qin people immediately obeyed the order of the main general Bai Qi and withdrew from the pontoon bridge to the west bank of the Dan River.
I don't know if the matter is urgent or what is willing, after crossing the river, the Qin army did not choose to demolish the pontoon bridge, giving the Zhao army the possibility of pursuit.
When the Zhao troops who were killed at the Qin army from Hanwang Mountain saw the Qin army fleeing westward, they did not choose to join the Zhao Kuo army that rushed out of the city gate, but immediately boarded the pontoon bridge built by the Qin army, intending to bite the retreating Qin army.
Lin Yi was beside Zhao Kuo, and when he saw such a scene at this time, he asked, "General, do we want to continue the pursuit?" ”
"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. At this moment, the Qin army failed to attack the city, and it was when the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, so they rushed up to kill the Qin army and made an immortal contribution to my Zhao country! ”
Zhao Kuo led the troops of Zhao State under his command to quickly cross the Dan River, quickly assembled a phalanx on the west bank of the Dan River, and rushed towards the main general who set up the Qin Zijing banner.
Bai Qi led the Qin army to a place three or four hundred meters away from the Dan River, and quickly ordered the Qin army to stop retreating, and the rear formation changed to the front formation, besieging and killing the Zhao army.
Although the commander's orders were one after another, the Qin people also carried out Bai Qi's orders very well. At the moment when the order was issued, the Qin people immediately turned their guns, and the Qin army, which had been retreating, suddenly killed Zhao Kuo.
At this time, Zhao Kuo led his men and horses to chase after the "Zhao army" that poured out of Han Wangshan, and they had only one goal, to behead Bai Qi on the west bank of the Dan River.
The two armies collided in such a wilderness, continuing the unfinished battle of Hyun Castle.
Bai Qi did not hesitate to use the elite soldiers of the Qin State at this time, and the phalanx they formed was rapidly approaching the Zhao army that was deep in the lone army, preparing to annihilate them all.
At this time, tens of thousands of "Zhao Army" who appeared from Han Wangshan suddenly took off their armor, revealing the dark Qin army uniforms inside, quickly cutting off Zhao Kuo's back road.
Seeing this, Lu Fang was immediately confused: "General, didn't you say that Han Wangshan's Zhao army was arranged by you a long time ago?" Why did you suddenly become a Qin person? ”
An unfathomable smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Kuo's mouth, and he said calmly to Lu Fang: "How is it, are you afraid?" ”
Although he was completely surrounded by the Qin army, Lu Fang, a guy with a tendon in his head, didn't know what it meant to be afraid. He patted his chest and said loudly: "Afraid of an egg, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable." It is not so easy for him Qin people to want my old Lu's head. ”
Lin Yi also said loudly on the side: "General, the matter has come to this point, we only have one way to fight, and please give the general an order!" ”
Zhao Kuo looked at the soldiers under his command, who were facing a position, but had no fear on their faces, and said loudly: "At this time, it is not to the point of exhaustion, all the soldiers will follow me to kill the Qin army in the rear, and let them know what kind of terrible result it is to disguise themselves as our Zhao people." ”
Seeing Bai Qi, who had successfully surrounded the Zhao army, he already thought that the overall situation was certain at this time. He touched his slightly gray beard and said with a smile: "Qin Guo's sons, making achievements is at this moment, what are you waiting for?" ”
Bai Qi's voice aroused the fighting spirit of everyone in the Qin army, what are they fighting for on the battlefield so for, isn't it just for these feats. Since these Zhao people have fallen into the trap of the main general, don't let the exploits of Bai pick up in vain.
Seeing the main force of the Qin army rushing from the other side of him, Lu Fang knelt in front of Zhao Kuo and said: "The general is the chief general of my Zhao army, you must not be buried here, let Lao Lu go to stop those Qin people, and the general will lead his personal guards to fight a bloody road, cross the Dan River and turn around." ”
Zhao Kuo stopped Lu Fang, who was about to break off, and said to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, the elite handed over to you is now the time to play, give me a quick opening of a gap in the encirclement of the Qin people, so that the whole army can retreat." ”
"No, the last general will obey!"
"All of them, keep up with Lin Yi's pace, let's rush out now, rush!"
