"Si, Sima, Qin, Qin's counterattack ......"

"Sima, the soldiers in front can't hold on......"

"Sima, half of the cavalry is trapped, and half of them have been forced to retreat......"

"Sima, our army is about to be surrounded by the Qin army......"

In a short period of time, a total of more than a dozen soldiers came to report the current dangerous situation, and Lian Po's face was very ugly.

Why?

Why was Meng Zhong able to use this trick to break through his royal division's military camp back then, but now he was trapped in the counterattack of the Qin army?

Lian Po glanced around with a solemn face, and saw that where his line of sight swept, the Zhao pawns under his command gradually lost their foothold under the strict "shield array advance" of the Qin army, and had to retreat again and again.

Everyone knows that once the two armies are forced to retreat in the event of an engagement, it means that the formation is deformed, and the formation is deformed, and the formation is deformed, which means a flaw.

"It's a lack of troops...... No, not only that, but also the lack of strength of our army.'"

Even if it is Lian Po, his head is sweating profusely at the moment.

Because he had realized that he had misestimated the strength of the Qin-Wei coalition - at least he had miscalculated the strength of the Qin army.

It is not unreasonable that the army of Qin has been attacking Wei, Chu, and Han repeatedly in the past ten years, with one enemy and three enemies, and has seized many lands of the three kingdoms.

"Whoaβ€”"

With a crisp sound, two Zhao pawns not far in front of him accidentally fell to the ground while retreating.

And just two or three zhang away from them, rows of neat Qin Jun Ge shield hands were slowly approaching.

At this time, the rest of the nearby Zhao pawns retreated one after another, except for the two Zhao pawns who had been fallen, only to see them looking at the approaching Qin pawns in horror, while supporting each other, trying to retreat immediately.

But who would have thought that one of the Zhao pawns accidentally tripped on a corpse with his foot, causing the two who had just stood up to fall to the ground again.

However, at this time, those Qin soldiers holding the Ge shield had already come to the front.

"It's over......

When he saw those Qin pawns raising Changge and stabbing at the two of them, the two Zhao pawns invariably flashed desperate thoughts.

However, at this moment, I saw a figure appear in front of the two, only to see him swinging the Changge in his hand vigorously, and slammed it on the shields of several Qin soldiers with a bang, and the force was so fierce that those Qin soldiers couldn't help but shake their bodies.

"Si, Sima?"

The two Zhao pawns were desperate, and looked at the benefactor who saved them in surprise, who was Lian Po, who was not their main general?

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ Is it just a little shaking?'

Lian Po put on a posture, holding Chang Ge in his right hand with only his right hand, and swept the front end of Chang Ge one by one in front of those Qin pawns, staring at those Qin pawns fiercely with a pair of tiger eyes.

He knew that his arm strength, at least in his Zhao army, no general could beat him in arm strength, and this strength was what Lian Po had always been proud of.

But just now, it was clear that he had used ninety percent of his strength to smash on the shields of those Qin soldiers, but none of the Qin soldiers retreated because of the force.

The reason is very simple, because the array of these Qin pawns is so tight that the Qin pawns in the front row don't even have room to fall and retreat - the robe behind him is holding a shield against his back.

This array of Qin pawns is simply an iron wall defense, as if not even a single needle can be inserted into it.

"Can you still go?"

Lian Po lowered his voice and asked the injured Zhao pawn among the two Zhao pawns.

"Yes!" The injured Zhao pawn nodded and said, "It's just that the leg was cut by Qin Pawn's Changge......"

"Very good, go, slowly retreat."

Bending down slightly, Lian Po stretched out his free left hand, grabbed the injured Zhao pawn, pulled him up from the ground, and immediately motioned for them to retreat: "You two retreat first, and I will break the back." ”

"Sima ......"

"Let's go!"

Seeing the Qin pawns in front of him advancing again, Lian Po roared loudly and waved the Changge in his hand vigorously, however, even though the Changge he swung out smashed on the shields of some Qin pawns again and again, forcing these Qin pawns to be unable to advance due to the force, but the Qin pawns from the side quickly outflanked him.

Seeing this, Lian Po also hurriedly retreated.

At this time, in the array of the Qin army, Fan Bu, a general of Jin Kuang, noticed Lian Po, and after seeing that this person was broken by the strength of one person, his heart suddenly became clear: This person must be the general of the Zhao army!

"Capture him!" Fan Bu immediately ordered.

Hearing this, a general beside Fan Bu said: "General, didn't General Meng of the Wei army give an order to our army to slowly oppress the Zhao army on the opposite side?" If you pursue, I'm afraid the formation will collapse......"

Yes, Meng Zhong ordered the Qin army to put up this iron-walled formation, its advantages are obvious, that is, it is an unparalleled defensive capability, even if it is as brave as Lian Po, it is powerless under the iron-walled defense of the Qin army, at best, it can only smash the shield in the hands of the Qin pawn a few times to vent his anger, and in the end he will be forced to retreat because of the Qin pawn's pressing step by step.

But on the other hand, the weakness of this kind of formation is also very big, that is, the movement speed is too slow, and it does not have the ability to pursue the enemy army, if the Qin soldiers are forcibly required to move quickly while maintaining the formation, I am afraid that the Qin army itself will have a chaotic situation of people pushing people.

Hearing the words of the generals under his command at first glance, Qin General Fan Bu glanced at the former with a strange expression, and said secretly in his heart: "You also know that it was an order from the general of the Wei army?" ”

But then again, because Jin Kuang had taken care of the Qin generals under his command before, and ordered the latter to accept the command of the Wei general Meng Zhong, Fan Bu did not dare to openly disobey the order.

After all, the iron law of his Qin army is to obey orders, as long as the generals above pass down orders, let alone let them obey the command of Wei General Meng Zhong, even if they obey an inexplicable guy, they have to act according to orders.

This is the Qin army, the Qin army that is worthy of being the first in the world in terms of strict military discipline.

After thinking about it, Fan Bu Zhengse said: "Didn't that General Meng just now give an order, ordering us to pursue the Zhao army that is about to flee?" The Zhao army in front of him, isn't it enough to call it a rout? ”

Saying that, he immediately ordered: "Kill that Zhao General!" ”

Under his order, the Qin soldiers in the front row no longer maintained their iron wall defense, which made Lian Po find difficult, and rushed towards Lian Po with shields and Changge in their hands roaring.

Seeing this, Lian Po was slightly stunned, and then a slight indifferent smile appeared on his face.

If these Qin pawns continued to maintain that kind of impeccable iron wall defense like Fang Cai, then even he would have no way to take the other party, but right now, this group of Qin pawns actually gave up their formation to pursue him...... Hum!

With a sneer, Lian Po waved the Changge in his hand hard, smashing it on the shield of a Qin pawn, only to hear a loud bang, the Qin pawn retreated again and again, and even took a few steps back and crashed into the crowd behind him, knocking down several Qin pawns.

"Hiss......"

Even if he was as fierce as a Qin pawn, he was shocked by Lian Po's amazing arm strength at this moment, and he was stunned one by one.

However, Lian Po did not delay, only to see him squat down suddenly, holding the ground with his left hand, and swinging Chang Ge in his right hand in a half-circle, and then slammed into the ankles of those Qin pawns.

Hearing a scream accompanied by the sound of bone cracking, several Qin pawns were swept in the calves by Lian Po's Changge, and immediately fell to the ground and wailed.

At this time, he saw Lian Po pull out the sword at his waist, stab his backhand into the abdomen of a fallen Qin pawn, and twist the hilt of the sword with a hideous expression.

"Damn ......"

"Bastard!"

The Qin soldiers cursed in confusion.

However, Lian Po's face did not change, he saw that he was holding Chang Ge in his right hand, in order to save effort to resist Ge on his shoulder, holding a sharp sword in his left hand and passing past the nearest Qin pawns one by one, and said indifferently: "Come!" ”

The soldiers of the Qin army have always been arrogant, how could they endure this kind of ridicule, and immediately rushed towards Lian Po.

At this time, Lian Po finally showed his strength to be the first fierce general of the Zhao army, only to see that he held a Ge in one hand, a sword in the other, a round in his right hand, and a stab in his left hand, killing one Qin soldier after another with the power of one person.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Qin soldiers died at the hands of Lian Po.

"The general of the Zhao army, he is so brave?!"

The Qin soldiers looked at each other, and a flash of fear flashed on their faces.

But soon someone shouted, "He is only one man, and everyone will go up and kill him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, before Lian Po could sneer at this, the voices of many Zhao soldiers came from behind him: "If you want to hurt our army Lian Sima, pass our level first!" ”

Seeing this, Lian Po was also stunned, and when he looked back, he realized that the soldiers under his command, who had already retreated, rushed up again for some reason.

"Why don't you go back?" Lian Po asked with annoyance.

The Zhao pawns replied one after another: "How can we leave Sima alone to break the queen?" ”

"Willing to fight side by side with Sima!"

Shouting these words, the Zhao pawns, who seemed to have regained their morale, immediately held their weapons and killed the Qin pawns opposite.

Seeing this scene, Lian Po's indifferent face couldn't help but show a little wry smile: "Can you go or not, you ...... Idiot ......"

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone say: "After leaving your own Sima alone, that's what a fool did!" ”

Lian Po turned his head to take a look and found that it was his deputy Zheng Shen who said this.

I saw that after the latter smiled slightly, he immediately straightened his expression and said to Lian Po: "Sima, these Qin soldiers are in chaos in order to besiege and kill Sima, why don't you kill him for a while, frustrate the arrogance of the Qin army, and then withdraw ......"

Lian Po turned his head and glanced at the soldiers who were fighting under his command, and a strong sense of pride surged in his heart: "Okay! ”

I saw him raise his arms and shout: "Keep up with Lian Po, you fools!" ”

"Oh-"

The Zhao soldiers smiled and responded in unison.

Looking at the Zhao Jun who made a comeback, this time it was the turn of the Qin general Fan Bu to be stunned.

Obviously, the morale of this Zhao army has been weakened before, why is it that in the blink of an eye, the morale of this Zhao army has risen again?

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ It's him!'

Squinting his eyes, Fan Bu stared at Lian Po, who was struggling to kill the enemy in the distance.

He had realized that the morale of the Zhao army had risen because of this Zhao general, and this Zhao general, with his personal strength and courage, inspired many Zhao soldiers here.

"Damn, can't you kill this man first?"

Fan Bu gritted his teeth and scolded.

However, what made him unbelievable was that the Qin pawns under his command were suppressed by the Zhao pawns on the opposite side this time, only because the other party had a general with superior force.

At this time, in the rear, Meng Zhong also noticed the commotion on Lian Po and Fan Bu's side, and said with a frown: "The morale of the Zhao army has not been defeated yet, and the Qin generals over there have withdrawn their positions too early...... Chasing and killing a Zhao general, compared with defeating thousands of Zhao troops here, which is more important? As long as these Zhao pawns are defeated, that Zhao general will naturally not be able to escape, so why rush? ”

From the side, Qin General Jin Kuang's face was pale, and he didn't know what to say.

He just saw it very clearly, originally his subordinate general Fan Bu had completely suppressed the Zhao army, and the other party was defeated and retreated, but Fan Bu didn't know what to think, so he asked the Qin soldiers in the first few rows to withdraw from the formation to pursue the Zhao army, but he was caught by the other party and killed for a while.

"Zhao Jun's momentum must be interrupted."

Meng Zhong raised his hand and pointed at the Qin general Fan Bu's side, and ordered: "Order the generals over there, immediately ask the soldiers to hold their shields above their heads to prevent them from being accidentally injured by friendly soldiers, and after two hundred breaths, all the crossbowmen will shoot towards the Zhao army!" ”

The Qin army herald who was waiting on the side was stunned and asked timidly, "General, what is a covered shot?" ”

"That is, a salvo. …… Go to herald! ”

"Whoa!"

Looking at the back of the herald leaving, Jin Kuang asked tentatively, "Fang Cheng Order, two hundred breaths...... Isn't it a bit rushed? ”

"That's enough." Meng Zhong said lightly: "The target of our crossbowmen is mainly Zhao Jun, not the soldiers under the command of General Qin, I remind him, it is just to prevent someone from being accidentally injured by stray arrows......"

"Oh......"

Looking at Meng Zhong's sworn appearance, Jin Kuang couldn't help muttering in his heart: Our army? Does he really regard my Qin Jun as his subordinate?

However, seeing that Meng Zhong was watching the battlefield intently at this moment, Jin Kuang couldn't say anything.

Having said that, for some reason, seeing Meng Zhong concentrating on the battlefield at the moment, and seeing everything that happened on the battlefield in great detail, Jin Kuang couldn't help but feel a sense of peace of mind in his heart, as if it was the old national captain Sima Wrong......

"Wait! What about the Captain?'

Jin Kuang subconsciously turned his head, and immediately saw Sima Cuo and Zhai Zhang standing more than ten zhang away at the moment, calmly watching the situation on the battlefield.

Looking at Sima Cuo and Zhai Zhang, who were watching from afar, and then looking at Meng Zhong who was commanding his Qin army to fight beside him, Jin Kuang inevitably had a very disobedient feeling: Shouldn't the old national lieutenant be commanding here, and this Meng Sima is watching from afar?

"How?"

As if noticing Jin Kuang's different color, Meng Zhong asked with a slight frown.

"No, nothing ......"

"......" Meng Zhong glanced at Jin Kuang with some doubts, and then looked at the battlefield and said, "If anything happens on the battlefield ahead, remind me immediately." ”

"Whoa! …… Iβ€”I mean, okay, okay. ”

At the same time, the heralds sent by Meng Zhong had already crowded to Fan Bu's side and shouted at Fan Bu: "General Fan, General Meng has an order, order the soldiers here to immediately hold their shields above their heads, and after two hundred breaths, our army's crossbowmen will launch a salvo against the Zhao army in this area...... Repeat, after two hundred breaths, the crossbowmen of our army will launch a salvo against the Zhao army in this area! ”

Hearing this, Fan Bu hurriedly ordered: "The soldiers of the front team, immediately protect your body with a shield......"

As soon as he said this, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dense array of arrows shooting in mid-air, and the number of them made his scalp tingle.

"Didn't you say two hundred breaths later? …… Damn, these two hundred times won't be the time for the soldiers to give orders, right?"

He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But as Meng Zhong said, he told the soldiers under Fan Bu's command to be on guard, just to prevent accidental injury, and the crossbowmen mainly attacked the area where Zhao Jun was located.

No, unlike the Qin soldiers who were reminded, many Zhao soldiers couldn't react for a while even if they heard the orders issued by the Qin army.

And in the next breath, arrows fell on their heads like a torrential rain.

Listening to a dense popping sound, the Zhao soldiers in front of Fan Bujun screamed and were hit by arrows, and more than half of them fell in the blink of an eye, and even Lian Po, the fierce general of the Zhao army, was also hit by a few arrows in the chest and back, and was protected by several Zhao soldiers with shields.

On the Qin army's side, except for a few really unlucky guys who were shot by stray arrows, there was hardly any big accidental injury.

"That Meng Zhong, do you know that he is General Wei? According to his style of play, he is not afraid of being killed by the soldiers of our army? ”

Pushing away the two guards who were shielding him with shields, Fan Bu turned his head to look at the battlefield in front of him, and saw that most of the Zhao army in front of him fell to the ground and wailed, and his heart suddenly rejoiced: Isn't this a good opportunity to break the Zhao army in front?!

"Kill it!"

With his order, thousands of Qin pawns rushed up, either mending the knife to the Zhao pawn who fell to the ground due to the arrow, or chasing and killing the rest of the Zhao pawns.

For a time, the situation was completely reversed, and the momentum of Qin pawns once again overwhelmed Zhao Jun.

In this case, even Lian Po could no longer reverse the disadvantage, let alone several arrows in his body.

"Sima, break through." Adjutant General Zheng Shen said urgently.

Lian Po nodded, and finally ordered the whole army to retreat.

The issuance of this order meant that the Zhao army's sneak attack on the Qin-Wei coalition army garrison was a complete failure.

On the way to break through to the east, sure enough, the Wei army intercepted them.

Looking at the banner, it is obviously the army of Wei generals Chen Yang, Wei Yu and others who were defeated by them before.

I have to say that compared with the Qin army, the Wei army under the command of Chen Yang and Wei Hao is indeed much inferior, and it is far inferior to the Qin army in terms of combat effectiveness and oppressive power brought to the Zhao army.

This made Lian Po and his Zhao pawns secretly relieved.

In addition to being relieved, Lian Po also felt strange.

Yes, as Meng Zhong judged, the surprise army led by Lian Po was only a surprise attack force used to surprise attack the Qin-Wei coalition army and plunge the Qin-Wei coalition army into chaos, and behind him, there were 30,000 troops led by Zhao Xi and Xu Jun - these 30,000 troops were the main force that was really used to severely damage the Qin-Wei coalition army.

But what made Lian Po feel strange was that he had seized the opportunity and caused chaos in the Qin-Wei coalition army for a while, but the main force led by Zhao Xi and Xu Jun was delayed for some reason.

If the previous battle situation was urgent, Lian Po didn't have time to think about it, but at this moment, he finally had time to think about it carefully.

"Isn't it...... Intercepted? Wait, doesn't this mean that the Qin-Wei coalition army realized that there were reinforcements behind our army at the first time?"

The more Lian Po thought about it, the more shocked he became.

And the fact is just as he guessed, the army led by Zhao Xi and Xu Jun was indeed intercepted, it was none other than the Fangcheng army led by Le Jin.

If it weren't for Lejin leading the army to intercept this Zhao army in time, as early as when Lian Po took the lead in killing the middle camp of the Qin-Wei coalition army, the reinforcements led by Zhao Xi and Xu Jun could also take advantage of the situation to enter it and join Lian Po.

Let's not talk about whether Zhao Xi, Xu Jun, and Lian Po can cause greater casualties to the Qin and Wei coalition forces after they join forces, but at least the army under Lian Po will not be as damaged by more than half as it is now, and there is even a danger of annihilation.

The question is, the Fangcheng soldiers under the command of Le Jin and his deputy general Yu Ying are only about 16,000 people, can they stop the 30,000 Zhao troops of Zhao Xi and Xu Jun?

In fact, this question is meaningless, just looking at Lian Po's delay in waiting for the main reinforcements of Zhao Xi and Xu Jun, doesn't this mean that Le Jin and the 16,000 square city soldiers under his command really blocked the 30,000 Zhao army?

For this reason, Zhao Xi and Xu Jun were very anxious.

After all, according to the original tactics, as long as Lian Po's sneak attack succeeded, they would immediately lead reinforcements to reinforce Lian Po and expand the results.

But who would have thought that Meng Zhong's reaction was so fast, and he immediately asked Le Jin to lead the Fangcheng army, the most effective of the Wei army here, out of the camp to intercept the main force of the Zhao army, and split the Zhao army, which was supposed to gather troops in one place, into two parts, so that the army under Lian Po gradually fell into encirclement.

Moments later, when Lian Po's army had suffered heavy casualties and led a few hundred men to force a breakthrough to this place, they finally saw the long-awaited reinforcements, and the Fangcheng army that stood between them and the support army.

However, even if they were not far from Zhao Xi and Xu Jun's reinforcements at the moment, they could not take a step forward, because the Qin and Wei coalition forces had already caught up and surrounded them.

"It's Lian Po!"

In the distance, Zhao Xi and Xu Jun also noticed the Lian Po army who was struggling to break through, and at this moment the two of them realized that the surprise attack of his Zhao army on the Qin and Wei coalition forces had completely failed.

But failure is failure, Lian Po still has to save them, after all, Lian Po is not only the general of Fengyang Jun Li Dui, but also the fierce general of his Zhao State, how can he not save it?

Therefore, Zhao Xi and Xu Jun stepped up their men's urging, eager to break the Fang Cheng army blocking in front of them.

Seeing this, the deputy general Yu Ying Le Jin said: "Sima, Zhao Xi on the other side seems to be trying to save the Zhao general who is encircled, and we can't let him succeed." ”

Hearing this, Le Jin turned his head to look at Lian Pojun, then at the armies of Zhao Xi and Xu Jun, shook his head slightly and said, "No, let half of it go!" ”

"Half?" Yu Ying was stunned, but even though he understood what Le Jin meant, he nodded with some admiration.

As he once commented, the young general in front of him, as long as he doesn't tell the kind of so-called jokes that make people don't know how to answer, is actually very reliable, otherwise, he will not be appointed as the former general of the other city's army.

A moment later, under Le Jin's order, Fang Cheng's army suddenly retreated to the north and south, as if a passage had been opened.

Seeing this unexpected scene, Zhao Xi was slightly stunned, and then his face became even more ugly, and he scolded in a low voice: "Lejin that little cub, I haven't seen you for a few years, I really have a long ability, and I actually want to use Lian Po to earn me?" ”

But after gritting his teeth, he finally issued an order, ordering the whole army to quickly pass through the passage deliberately left by the Fangcheng army to reinforce the Lian Po army.

There is no way, in public and private, it seems that Lian Po and such a fierce general can't help him.

And as he expected, after half of his army passed, the Fangcheng army that had retreated to the flanks immediately launched a flanking attack on the midbelly of his army.

Not to mention Lian Po's army, even Zhao Xi's army was in danger of being attacked on the back of the enemy.
