"Poof." There was another sound of knives cutting flesh, and the cavalry troops of the Zhao army, who had repeatedly succeeded from behind, quickly waved the sabers in their hands to chase down the fleeing Qi infantry. And the Qi infantry could only desperately escape. They are powerless to resist. They can only run away in a frenzy this way. For them, it was a massacre.

"Whoa." The cavalry of the Zhao army kept rushing over. For this cavalry, it was a battle like training.

The course of the battle can be simplified into words to a few sentences.

The Qi soldiers desperately fled. And Zhao Jun frantically brandished the saber in his hand and slashed. The two sides are in a one-sided situation. The battlefield was littered with the hacked corpses of Qi soldiers. The entire river was stained red with blood. Only a small number of Qi soldiers escaped the battlefield disaster. And Zhao Jun's losses were minimal.

The fighting didn't just happen at night. The morning has just begun. The morning mist is not yet alive. A group of Qi troops is reorganizing the team.

"Ahh A Qi soldier stretched out with a hache. A new day is about to begin again. The Qi army began to shrink their forces and reorganize their defensive lines, and they themselves did not know where they were going. They just know. Just head south and you're good to go.

"Stand in line. Hurry up. A man who looked like a Qi army officer shouted loudly. The rough helmet showed that he was only a junior officer. And ordinary soldiers rarely wore helmets, and their helmets were much rougher than those of officers. And leather armor is mostly used. After the advent of gunpowder weapons. This helmet was decisively discarded by the soldiers. The reason is that wearing this kind of helmet is of no use, but rather looks cumbersome, and wearing a heavy thing on the head naturally looks unnatural and does not play any role. So, the soldiers decisively gave up. But officers are different, officers are in a kind of command position, they need to identify with soldiers, so the role of the helmet is still retained. Officers use helmets, among some high-ranking generals. To a large extent, the sophistication of the armor is still a distinguishing mark of the rank of the Qi army. This is different from Qin Jun. The Qin army already used highly well-marked ranks, and the rank system was much more sophisticated than the elaborate use of armor. At this point. Zhao Jun, Han Jun, and Yan Jun have all realized this. The influence of the Qin army has already affected these countries.

"Boom." It was at this moment that a dull voice came.

"It's Zhao Jun. The Zhao army sneaked up. "The guard post not far from the camp sounded the alarm at this time.

"Bang. Bang. "Two gunshots rang out at this time.

"Bang bang bang." After two gunshots. There was a continuous burst of gunshots.

The first two shots were fired by the guard sentry. And the gunfire from behind was the dense gunfire of the cavalry of the Zhao army.

Before the two sentries could escape, they were killed by the dense bullets of the Zhao cavalry.

"Ahh When the Sentinel fell. Many of the Qi soldiers who were assembling and queuing behind were also shot and fell.

"Spread out. Spread out. At this time, a junior officer of the Qi army wearing a rough helmet shouted loudly.

"Bang." "Poof." A bullet hit him directly in the chest at this time. A junior officer of the Qi army was hit in a vital part.

"Spread out." The soldiers of the Qi army dispersed one after another at this time. Some soldiers hurriedly threw away their rifles. While the other soldiers dodged the flying bullets.

"Fight back." A Qi officer shouted loudly as he waved his bronze short sword. The rest of the soldiers remained in a state of panic, frightened by the roar of the cavalry.

The earth trembled. The soldier was pressed by such an momentum, and could only feel an invisible pressure. The soldiers frantically searched for a place to hide. And some of the soldiers simply moved closer to the back.

"Shoot. Fast. Shoot. The officer shouted loudly as he waved his short sword.

"Boom, boom." This time. The cavalry of the Zhao army is getting closer and closer. The soldiers of the Zhao army had already put down their rifles and pistols in their hands. Spear shooting was very unsuitable for cavalry. And it is not possible to launch continuously. The spear did not have much utility in cavalry combat. So, the cavalry abandoned the spear. Instead, the use of pistols was used. Rifle. However, this time, a considerable part of the cavalry of the Zhao army was restructured to use spears. The reason is that their task is of a special nature, they want to block the entire river course. Intercept the passage of the Qi army to the south. Such a task would require a subset of soldiers to be defended with a longer range spear. Cavalry officers had their own views on this.

In their opinion, the greatest characteristic of the cavalry is its mobility. Let the cavalry stop and defend in place. This seriously violated the combat principle of cavalry, which is very mobile. At this point. The cavalry officers were generally opposed. However, high-ranking officers believed that the Zhao army was defending the river. It was necessary to intercept the Qi army from moving south, and the cavalry officers thought that it was simply a foolish thing for them to do so.

The important role of cavalry was to use the advantage of maneuver to achieve sudden attacks on places. That is, mobility and suddenness are the main combat characteristics of the cavalry. And the high-ranking officers one-sidedly believed that they should let the cavalry stop and complete the same defensive tasks as the infantry. As a result, the combat characteristics of the cavalry were lost at once. This was a disaster for the cavalry.

The high-level campaign tasks made the cavalry feel very helpless. But they obey discipline and do their job seriously.

"Bang." "Bang. Bang. The Qi soldiers began to shoot sporadically at the cavalry.

"Rush." The cavalry of the Zhao army, which was getting closer and closer to the Qi army, began to roar. They brandished their sabers to slash them.

"Ahh One of the unfortunate Zhao cavalrymen was knocked off his horse, and he was soon shrouded in dust and mist from his own cavalry flying from behind.

"Kill." The cavalry of the Zhao army quickly approached the Qi army.

"Run." Seeing the cavalry that was about to rush in front of you. The Qi soldiers threw down their weapons one after another and began to flee backwards. The huge impact effect of the cavalry made the Qi soldiers feel a strong sense of fear.

"Retreat. Retreat quickly. The Qi soldiers themselves began to flee.

"No retreat. Fight back. The officer shouted loudly as he waved his short sword. But he himself was on the run.

"Da-da-da-da." This time. The cavalry quickly charged in front of the Qi army.

"Poof." Go with a knife. A Qi soldier drew a long blood mark on his back. The soldier was immediately killed on the ground.

"Poof." More and more cavalrymen began to swing their sabers and slash at the Qi army.

For a time, the Qi army was in chaos. The Qi army suddenly lost its resistance. On the battlefield, it once again fell to the side of the Zhao army. Zhao Jun frantically waved the machete in his hand towards the Qi soldiers who were scattered and fled, and where the machete was swung, blood would inevitably be splashed. The battlefield became a place of cavalry slaughter.

On the way back of the Qi army. The Qi army frequently encountered the impact of a large number of Zhao cavalry. The originally orderly retreat of the Qi army was directly broken through by the strong impact of the Zhao army at this time.

The entire retreat plan of the Qi army was seriously damaged. However, the communications of the Qi army were very backward. They basically relied on cavalry communications for communication. Although the Zhao army's communications were basically done by cavalry, the attacking side was the Zhao army. The Zhao army originally used cavalry, and the cavalry maneuvered very fast. The huge advantage in speed forms a suddenness. The Qi army is only infantry, and they can only passively accept different messages. So. The situation of the Qi army is getting worse and worse. And Zhao Jun is much easier at this time. The speed advantage of the cavalry is converted into a sudden tactical advantage, so that the speed advantage of the cavalry is converted. The cavalry of the Zhao army formed a great initiative.

The situation was quickly unfavorable for the Qi army. Because of the rapid advance of the cavalry.

The situation on the battlefield is changing. And the top brass of the Qi army still didn't know anything about this, and they still transferred logistics materials to the front line at this time. They need to stock up on supplies to ensure they have enough strength to hold their current front. Then seize a kind of strategic position advantage in diplomacy on this front.

"Are we having enough troops at the moment?" Tian Heng asked anxiously.

"Not enough." A general on the side shook his head and said.

"We need a lot of manpower to defend such a large position." The general said.

"How much is the minimum?" Tian Heng asked.

"Two hundred thousand." The general gritted his teeth and said.

And Tian Heng gasped. The Qi State couldn't come up with so many troops at once.

"There aren't that many of them." Tian Heng replied directly.

"This, the last general understands, so the last general thinks. Our army should take the initiative to retreat at the moment, retreating to the south bank of the river. Rely on the water of the river to build powerful fortifications. In this way, our army can use its current strength to defend against the attack of the armies of Zhao, Yan, and South Korea. The general said.

Tian Heng nodded. Expressions of approval.

"Moreover, this area, the terrain is flat, which is very conducive to attacking. And not good for defense. Our troops need to retreat as soon as possible and build a large number of fortifications on the south bank of the river. These fortifications require a large amount of manpower and material resources to be built. Otherwise, it would be difficult for our army to resist an attack by the Zhao army, the Yan army, and the Korean army. The general said.

"The problem is, King Qi won't let us retreat here." Tian Heng directly told the general next to him at this time.

"This is about the survival of tens of thousands of soldiers." At this time, the general next to him said anxiously.

"I know that. However, you should understand. The importance of the situation. This requires the people above us to think holistically. We must keep the land we occupy so that the Qi State can withdraw from this war with all its might. Tian Heng said.
