992: We're not in a good situation

"They are insane, they have fire in them, but the fire can't burn them to death. Their faces were all black. Their horses were also burning. But the horses were still coming towards us. ”

"The horses soared into the air, dodging the barbed wire fence that we had carefully arranged. The horses flew like they were flying. We were all stupefied. We'll get it now. We couldn't stop the cavalry flying over. A captured Qi soldier recalled.

It's not that the Qi army didn't resist, but they didn't expect that the Zhao army would launch an attack under such circumstances. At the most terrible time, in the face of the raging fire, they actually rushed straight over.

The Qi soldiers believed from the beginning that their defensive line was the strongest, and with the raging fire, it was impossible for the Zhao army to appear.

But the moment when the cavalry of the Zhao army appeared. Many Qi soldiers didn't have time to shoot, they were frightened by the bravery of the Zhao army.

"Kill." The cavalry of the Zhao army quickly crossed the trenches of the Qi army. Although it was impossible to kill the Qi troops hiding in the trenches, those Qi troops had lost their combat effectiveness. They know they've failed. simply gave up resistance.

"Poof." Some of the soldiers tried to evade the cavalry. But all in vain. The cavalry slashed and killed the fleeing Qi soldiers at will. The Qi army's defensive line was quickly lost.

And on the other side. The Zhao army, which was killed by the commander of the Qi army, was powerless to resist. Their numbers were already small, and the Qi army resisted desperately. Zhao Jun gradually couldn't hold it anymore.

"Not good, General. Our right flank, to break through. At this time, a Qi soldier shouted loudly.

And the commander looked back at this time. On the right flank, a triangular cavalry banner of the Zhao army hung high.

"This, this can't be." The commander clearly did not believe that this had really happened. However, it all really happened.

"What should we do?" A junior officer quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Look. It's our flag, and we're occupying each other's positions. Kill. At this time, Lieutenant Zhao Jun also saw the Zhao Army flag fluttering in the distance, and the Zhao Army's unique cavalry pennant instantly boosted their morale.

The Zhao army, which had already collapsed, dismounted the cavalry, and at this time the morale was re-inspired. Opposite. The soldiers of the Qi army began to fall at this time. They began to worry about what was going on behind them. To know. The cavalry of the Zhao army has already been killed.

"Retreat." The commander of the thousand was powerless to give such an order.

"Retreat." At this time, the Qi army began to retreat, and from this moment on, their morale began to decline.

"Kill." The morale of the Zhao army was high. And the morale of the Qi army was extremely low. The situation between the two sides, which had just been in favor of the Qi army, suddenly turned to the side that was favorable to the Zhao army. The Zhao army took the opportunity to launch a completely new attack. Despite their small numbers, their morale has been greatly boosted. And the Qi army, on the other hand, gave up a lot of things. They were powerless to retake their positions.

"Immediately retreat to the other side of the river, in place, defensively. Don't let Zhao Jun cross the river. The commander said weakly at this time.

"What are you going to do, general?" His subordinate asked excitedly.

"The general of the defeated army." The Centurion shook his head and said.

"Let's go. Let's go. The commander said as he pushed his men away. Then draw his own short sword. Rushed towards Zhao Jun.

And his subordinates watched the commander rush towards Zhao Jun like a madman. Although Zhao Jun was powerless to resist at first, he was soon killed and wounded on the ground. Then he was hacked to death by Zhao Jun with a saber. The final fate of the commander was tragic. The Qi army was extremely cruel to the defeated generals. In particular, although these military generals have military merits, their military merits are not equal to their titles, and titles can be exempted from some criminal laws, but military merits do not have such functions. The commander, who knew what would happen after the defeat, simply died on the battlefield at the last moment. in order to preserve their name.

The Zhao army did not take the initiative to launch a pursuit, and after fighting on the battlefield, the number of casualties also increased a lot, about 100 people were killed in the battle, and as many as 100 people were wounded. So. The Zhao army was unable to launch an offensive. They can only go on the defensive on the spot. In this way, both bridges came under the control of Zhao Jun.

And this time. The Zhao army can be regarded as a preliminary completion of an encirclement of the Qi army. And the top brass of the Qi army also seem to realize that they are not good.

"Lord, the situation is not good." At this time, a doorman hurriedly rushed into Tian Heng's tent.

"What's wrong?" Tian Heng asked with some suspicion.

"This is the battle report that has just come from the front." said. The doorman handed the battle report to Tian Heng. And Tian Heng took the battle report and looked at it at this time.

"I'll see." Tian Heng took the battle reports and read them one by one.

"These battle reports are almost the same, their troops were scattered by the cavalry of the Zhao army. Others encountered the fierce attack of the infantry of the Zhao army. The situation is not good. This shows that the Zhao army has already launched an attack. We need to stabilize the front as soon as possible. Tian Heng said.

"Zhao Jun's movements are obviously faster than we imagined." Tian Heng didn't seem to be too worried about the development of the war situation.

"My lord, the situation is indeed not good." At this time, the doorman said anxiously.

"The Zhao army's attack came unusually fast, and our army, often still asleep or on the march, suffered a serious impact, and our men were killed everywhere. And the infantry, they will soon rush again. In this way, it will be difficult for our army to quickly assemble and establish a stable defense to defend against the current situation. The doorman said anxiously.

"Also, from what is reported in these war reports. The cavalry units of the Zhao army have already arrived in our rear. At this time, the doorman said.

"Our rear." Tian Heng asked suspiciously.

"Yes, right behind us. This battle report. As he spoke, the doorman turned out the battle report to prove his claim.

"Why did Zhao Jun run to our rear." At this time, Tian Heng asked.

"I've asked General Tian. This is how General Tian replied. The doorman said at this time. General Tian is actually Tian Heng's general. And Tian Heng led his own private army.

"How?" Tian Heng asked at this time.

He said that Zhao Jun was most likely heading towards the river. If that is the case, then it is very likely that the Zhao army will wipe us out on the north bank of the river. And the signs of this are already quite obvious. The doorman said.

"In front of us, there are mostly reports of infantry encountering infantry attacks. But on both sides of us, there are more and more signs that the cavalry is attacking us. The cavalry of the Zhao army had already launched an attack on our flank. At this time, the doorman said helplessly.

"This." Tian Heng was obviously frightened by this shocking news. He really didn't expect it. Zhao Jun would have such a big stroke.

"On the North Shore, we have more than 80,000 people." At this time, Tian Heng came to his senses and said.

"Yes, we have 80,000 men, but we are demoralized and not as well equipped as the Zhao army. In particular, the logistical supply of the Zhao army was supported by the Qin army, and the tiger and wolf Qin State used what train to continuously transport materials to the hands of the Zhao army. So. The Zhao army will be as terrible as the Qin army. The doorman said at this time.

"This." Tian Heng was speechless. With the unrestricted logistical support of the Qin State. The Zhao army can cut off the Qi army on a large scale. But the Qi army could not do this. Because their logistical supply is far away from home, and the long line is elongated, the supply line alignment army has become very vulnerable, so that the supply line has become very fragile. Everything has turned against the Qi army. Right now. What kind of situation will the Qi army face? Tian Heng began to have a more sober understanding in his mind.

"General Tian also said that we have time to retreat at present, and we only need to stabilize the situation before the arrival of the Zhao army in the river blockade. It is still possible for our men to slowly retreat to the south bank and establish a defensive line. But the problem is that I am afraid of Zhao Jun. The doorman said.

"What?" Tian Heng asked at this time.

"I'm afraid that the Zhao army has been blocked, and our people haven't been sent out yet." The doorman said at this time.

"We still have more than a thousand cavalry on our hands, and we should act immediately." At this time, Tian Heng suddenly realized that the situation might have a turnaround.

"Maybe that's going to help us." The doorman said at this time.

"I'm going to let General Tian move." At this time, the doorman said. And Tian Heng also went to quickly write orders. Although Qi Jun was aware of the danger at this time, they still had a glimmer of hope. Hopefully, Zhao Jun will be slow to act. And their own reinforcements can still maintain their situation at this time.

But as everyone knows, Qi Jun was already a little late at this time. First of all, they had already lost the battle in terms of the build-up of troops. Because they did not estimate the great ease of transportation brought to the war by trains, and modern roads, from the beginning. A train could transport a battalion of heavily armed Zhao soldiers to their destination quickly. And. Zhao Jun didn't need to spend any physical strength. Large quantities of supplies can also be transported by train to achieve unexpected results. Losses are almost zero.

Plus the use of modern communication tools such as the telegraph, telephone. Just a telegram, a telephone. The Allies will be able to complete the time and speed of the transfer of supplies, as well as personnel. The time from initiation to attack in a battle has been greatly reduced. And Qi Jun still thinks at this time. The speed at which the allies, especially the Zhao army, arrived had already taken a long time. Such miscalculations will lead directly to catastrophic consequences. And Qi Jun still doesn't know about this. This is the difference in strength.
