Chapter 69: Encirclement and Suppression of the Remnants
After several days of trekking, Hanoi was close to the remnants of the army led by Wang Di. Although Zhao Kuo behind him was still chasing after him, every time he got closer to Hanoi, Wang Di's heart became more relaxed.
But Zhao Kuo behind him was different, and his dull mood finally began to become excited as he approached Hanoi.
Since the beginning of the decisive battle with Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo had already arranged for the herald scouts to deliver the news to Jiang Sheng, and he believed that Jiang Sheng had arrived at the predetermined location he had prepared for Wang Qi.
Finally, there is no need to continue running with this remnant army, he only needs to pounce on them and kill them, and completely end the war in Changping.
As Wang Yi entered the realm of Hanoi in the Qin State, his heart that had been hanging all day was finally relaxed.
And the tense nerves of the soldiers of the Qin State also began to become slack as they entered their own country, and they no longer had their previous expressions.
Anyone who picks up a life from a lifeless situation will become so groggy. Almost half of the soldiers of the Qin State sat on the ground from the time they stepped into the territory of Hanoi, not even wanting to move a finger.
As everyone knows, they only fell into Zhao Kuo's trap at this time, and the next thing is the real situation of ten deaths.
Jiang Sheng, the commander of the cavalry of the Zhao State, led his 40,000 cavalry to ambush the Qin army, and saw that they were indeed as the main general Zhao Kuo expected, and immediately started to act.
The rolling yellow dust rippled around with the dispatch of the cavalry of the Zhao State, and they took off the armor of the Qin State on their bodies as they marched, revealing the red and green color of the Zhao State military uniform.
The cavalry of Zhao State did not move, and the movement was earth-shattering. Although the place where they were ambushing was still some distance away from the Qin army, in the blink of an eye, the remnants of the Qin army had already been included in the attack range.
The scouts of the Qin State also relaxed their vigilance after coming to Hanoi, and as the first round of attacks by the cavalry of the Zhao State had been launched, he reacted and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”
As soon as he reminded the soldiers of the Qin State, he had been shot into a hedgehog by the first round of arrows from the cavalry of the Zhao State.
Wang Di, who was resting next to the war horse, was also lucky to escape death because of the obstruction of his beloved war horse.
After the first round of arrow rain, Wang Yi finally reacted. No matter how much he wanted to break his head, he didn't know when this Zhao cavalry was ambushed here, but he knew that he had to make a decision.
"Everyone gets up at once, we haven't fled the danger yet, and we rush with me."
The soldiers of the Qin State had just experienced great joy, and in an instant, they fell into hell again. Such great joy and sorrow made the Qin people unable to adapt to it at all, and the soldiers couldn't even hold the spear in their hands tightly.
The cavalry led by Jiang Sheng did not give the Qin soldiers time to react at all, they quickly adjusted their pace, and the second round of attacks had already been launched from their bows and arrows.
In this kind of plain area, the unparalleled nature of the cavalry of Zhao can be shown. This is the evolutionary effect of years of confrontation with the Xiongnu, and they are enough to be proud of any cavalry unit of the other six kingdoms.
The dust raised by the running horses announced to Zhao Kuo the beginning of the cavalry attack, and he immediately asked the flag bearers to carry the military flag and issue orders to the whole army.
"The whole army assaulted, rushed to the Qin troops at the fastest speed, and dealt with this remnant of the enemy!"
The speed of Zhao's march immediately increased, and they knew that victory was imminent, so they all ran towards the remnants of Qin's troops with all their strength.
The first to bear the brunt is the Zhao Kuo personal guard led by Lin Yi, this personal guard has been constantly exercising their endurance from the beginning, and Zhao Kuo is here at this moment.
I saw them rushing towards the Qin troops, like a dagger, piercing into the body of the Qin State, which was riddled with holes.
Originally, field warfare was the Qin army's best skill, but now they have experienced life and death escape, and they encountered this situation at the moment when they had the best chance of surviving.
Zhao Jun barely gave them much time to react, and the weapons in their hands kept slashing at their enemies, and the soldiers of the Qin State were like straws to be slaughtered, falling one by one.
Wei Chen saw that Lin Yi had already led his troops to engage with the Qin people in a short battle, he was in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Sons, we can't let the general's personal guard troops be beautiful, rush up for me, and kill all the Qin soldiers!" ”
Wei Chen's words were like a torch falling into dry firewood, instantly igniting a raging fire. The soldiers under Wei Chen's command rushed desperately towards the remnants of the Qin State as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Although Wang Ji kept issuing orders to resist in the Chinese army, he still could not prevent the Qin army from being defeated.
The foot soldiers could not compete with the cavalry on this kind of plain, not to mention that the Zhao State foot soldiers behind them would not give them such a chance.
With the perfect cooperation of cavalry and foot soldiers, Zhao Guojin's team was solving the only 130,000 troops left in the Changping garrison of the Qin army at a rapid speed.
Wang Yi smiled bitterly and looked at everything that happened in front of him, and suddenly felt a kind of sadness that he had the intention to kill the thief and was unable to return to the sky.
He originally thought that when he walked into the territory of Hanoi, he would also get the opportunity to renovate.
Once you have corrected yourself, you can immediately reflexively attack the remaining troops of Zhao State.
didn't expect that his every move was clearly calculated by the other party's general Zhao Kuo, and when he chose to break through this road, Zhao Kuo believed in his heart that he was ready to annihilate his own army.
Wang Yu hated, he hated Zhao Kuo, hated Bai Qi, hated Fan Ju and hated King Qin Zhaoxiang, if it wasn't for Zhao Kuo defeating Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping; If it weren't for Bai Qi falling into Zhao Kuo's ambush; If it weren't for the great king and Fan Ju's reckless warfare, none of this would have happened.
But no matter how monstrous hatred Wang Ji felt in his heart at this time, it could not change the impending defeat of the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo stood on the half-slope, looked at the entangled armies of the two countries, and sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Fuji and Xiang Yu hurriedly wanted to come over and help him up, but they were directly stopped by him.
The hard work of the past few days finally paid off at this moment, and the battle of Changping was finally completely changed in his own hands, which was an indescribable satisfaction for Zhao Kuo.
From now on, the future of Zhao and Qin was completely rewritten in their own hands, and the two counties of Hanoi and Hedong, which were emptied by Qin, could not stop the advance of Zhao's army at all.
His eyes had already left this battle, a small party could not fill Zhao Kuo, who was full of ambition, he wanted a bigger goal.
Although the more than 400,000 troops in Zhao Kuo's hands suffered many losses in the decisive battle of Changping, they still had the strength to fight, which was far from being able to withstand the Qin people in Hanoi and Hedong counties.
What he wants to do now is to really move westward and let the people of Qin State taste the taste of the land being invaded by others!
