Text Chapter 52 Helpless
So far, this encounter has been stuck in a very strange stalemate.
On the one hand, the Zhao army, relying on its numerical superiority and years of combat experience, kept its large array from being breached. On the other hand, Li Xin's army could not take a step forward after achieving some results against the Zhao army, although the heavy armor soldiers had already broken through into the Zhao army's bow and crossbow array, but due to the disparity in numbers, they could only stop like this. And Zhao Mu's cavalry army can only sweep and kill layer by layer, the efficiency is too low, and it is obvious that now the Zhao army has also adapted to the tactics of the cavalry, and they are supplemented by strong shields, so that the cavalry has no chance to take advantage of it.
In this way, Zhao Jun finally stabilized the chaotic array and began to confront Li Xinjun.
Li Xin looked at Zhao Jun, who had stabilized his footsteps, his eyes were still so calm, and he had already begun to think about his next move after defeating this Zhao army.
But the Zhao army in front of him was really annoying.
Li Xin: "The order, the crossbowmen stepped forward and collapsed the enemy's front." The sword and shield hand stepped forward to assist the cavalry, open a way for General Zhao Mu, end the battle as soon as possible, and finish our meat! ”
"Roar!"
With an order, Li Xinjun began to change formations, first the crossbowmen took over the retreating heavy armor, and began to shoot at the front of the Zhao army, because the Zhao army's crossbowmen had been killed by the heavy armor, the Zhao army no longer had the power to counterattack with long-range strikes. Now they can only endure Li Xinjun's non-stop shooting.
The sword and shield hands on the other side are also in place, and their task is not to fight to the death with the strong shield on the flank of the Zhao army, but to open a hole for the cavalry army, so their contact area is not very large, so that the numerical advantage of the Zhao army is useless again.
The commander of the Zhao army is now at a loss, he has not commanded a battalion of officers with more than 5,000 people, and this sudden promotion is entirely due to the result of Zhao Ji and Zhao Meng's struggle for power and profit, and now his shortcomings have finally been revealed.
"General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and the flank of our army, the large array in front of us is about to collapse!"
A Zhao army leader hurriedly ran in front of the Zhao army commander.
Commander of the Zhao Army: "How is this a good ......?"
Zhao Junshen saw that his coach had no idea, so he had to be secretly sad!
"I, Da Zhao, have suffered such a loss since King Zhaowu! Oh my God, is this going to kill my Da Zhao! ”
Yes, since King Zhaowu, the Zhao State has reformed the military system, attacked the northern slaves in the north, expanded the land for hundreds of miles, and destroyed several small countries in the east! Since now, Da Zhao now has a population of millions and a strong military, making it the most promising country to unify Zhongzhou along with Chu, but now, ......
Zhao Junshen stomped his feet:
"Forget it! Die and die! ”
There was no longer any hesitation at the moment: "The whole army obeys the order!" Retreat in turn, and the sword and shield hand will be broken! ”
He has already pretended to be a traditional commander of the military order, and in the Zhao State, the fake commander is the three clans!
But now it's a question of whether he can even survive, and these 10,000 people may stay here, where can he think about the future.
When Commander Zhao heard this, he obviously paused:
"Tian Cheng! What are you going to do, kid! ”
It turned out that this Zhao Jun was named Tian Cheng.
Although the commander of the Zhao army had changed his face, Tian Cheng would not care about him, and directly looked at his own general and shouted:
"General! If you don't retreat now, will you have to wait until all 10,000 people in the whole army are left here! ”
Tian Cheng's voice was very loud, and all the staff leaders next to the commander of the Chinese army heard it all at once.
yes, if you don't retreat now, will you sit back and wait for death here?
At the moment, they all looked at Tian Cheng, this person was willing to risk the disaster of the Yi clan to find a way out for the whole army, he was really a famous general.
It's a pity that this battle is really dead for him. Won, go back to the barracks and Yi Sanclan. If you lose, don't worry......
All the staff leaders began to think about it, staying here and fighting the enemy army is undoubtedly the way to die, and now only by retreating while fighting can there be a glimmer of life.
Therefore, the counselors also made up their minds, pretending not to know that this was a fake order, and went directly to the order.
The current commander of the Zhao army has lost the morale of the army and cannot command the army.
"That's it......"
Li Xin watched Zhao Jun begin to change formations and retreat to the rear, and there was actually a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Commander Zhao still has a brain......"
Moreover, the retreat of the Zhao army was not the so-called "turning into the wind" and running away in a mess, but a neat retreat with a very regular order.
Even in the pursuit of the cavalry, there was no confusion.
Li Xin smiled slightly: "Go, give the order, the cavalry will cut off the enemy's rear ......"
Before the words fell, Li Xin saw a Zhao saber and shield hand and attacked directly, they obviously did not mean to die with the cavalry, but the entire army surrounded the cavalry.
Li Xin looked at the battle situation and became more and more interested:
"This is to hold back our cavalry, and not let me cut off their retreat. This commander of the Zhao army is very creative. ”
How did he know that the commander of the Zhao army had already changed his clothes and mixed in with the Zhao army, and he was already on the way to retreat. Now the commander of the army is only a small staff member of Zhao Jun.
After obtaining the disguised support of the army, Tian Cheng began to deploy a retreat plan.
And the most important of this is that the Zhao army wants to surround the pace of Li Xin's cavalry pursuit, and this task can only be completed by the sword and shield man, and Tian Cheng happens to be a member of the sword and shield man, and now he has sent his own men to surround Li Xin's cavalry army.
And the development of things was just as Tian Cheng thought, Li Xin's cavalry army had indeed been surrounded, lost its mobility, and could not encircle the retreating Zhao army.
On the other hand, Tian Cheng also "ordered" the infantry in front of the large array to block Li Xin's heavy armor with spears and broadswords, although it could not effectively kill and injure the heavy armor, but it could allow the Zhao army to retreat in batches.
At this time, Li Xin had long decided that the commander of the Zhao army opposite was definitely not a mediocre person. Imagine how a commander who organized such a regular retreat when he had no cavalry on his side and was under attack, how could he be a mediocre man.
But if this person has such ability, how could he abolish his crossbow soldiers in the early stage of the war, and he would be so embarrassed by himself......
Although it is strange, Li Xin can't care so much now, this Zhao army is about to escape, this is the problem he has to face now.
Li Xin looked at the battle situation:
"Command the crossbowmen to strike at the enemy at a distance, so that the heavy armor can advance quickly, and the enemy is about to run away......"
The herald was ordered to leave, and after a while, he saw all the crossbowmen in Li Xin's army coming out of the battle and began to shoot at Zhao's army.
I saw that the feather arrow shot directly at the Zhao army's large array along the arc, the Zhao army's spearmen fell to the ground one after another, and the sergeants watched their comrades fall one by one, and began to retreat involuntarily.
Li Xin looked at his achievements and was not happy at all, because this war had been fought so far, and it was beyond his expectations.
Tian Cheng on the Zhao army's side was even more panicked, now the army is retreating in turn, if the front collapses, the entire army will be affected.
"For the ...... of the Present"
Tian Cheng frowned, and the murderous intent surged into his heart at the moment.
"Pass the general's order, all the troops on the flanks of the front, those who take a step back, kill!"
"Whoever disturbs the hearts of our army, kill!"
"Anyone who disobeys military orders, kill!"
Three killing words in a row, it is really murderous, although he is only a staff leader, not even a general, but because of his command, now nearly 5,000 people in the 10,000 Zhao army have begun to retreat, and the camp is stable, the order is not chaotic, all of this makes all the staff leaders, and even the staff generals obey him.
This is also the custom of the Zhao army, as long as someone is killed in battle, or loses the ability to command, they can take everyone out of the predicament, regardless of status, they will be able to temporarily command the army.
Moreover, the main general of his own family has long been mixed in the army and retreated, and now that someone can come out of the top tank, of course everyone can't ask for it.
Based on this, Tian Cheng was already qualified to take over the command system of the Zhao army, so that he could command the army as a leader.
Now that he has made another killing move, the whole army, who dares not to die!
So knowing that Li Xin's army was sharp, he could only continue to insist.
Soon, the front formation, which was about to collapse, actually stabilized its position again.
Li Xin shook his head again, is this Zhao army really undefeatable?
The front line is like this, but what about the flanks of the cavalry army?
Li Xin looked at the cavalry battle array, the situation is not optimistic, Zhao saber and shield hands are like a wall, blocked in front of the cavalry, they are not with the cavalry short-handed, just encircled, if the two sides are short-handed, Zhao Mu is confident that they can defeat them in a very short time, but Zhao Jun is now like a big turtle, hidden in the iron shell, no matter how great you have the ability, you can't show it.
Seeing that the enemy brigade was getting farther and farther, now that he was in the area controlled by Zhao State after all, he couldn't fight for a long time, let alone pursue it from a long distance. If this Zhao army retreats, don't think about catching him again!
Li Xin shook his head, it seems that this time it is really going to be a sandwich meal.
A good sniper battle, their own troops have already succeeded, and they have taken the lead, as long as the enemy army is in chaos, they will win, but so far, the Zhao army has become more and more skillful, as if it has changed people, the camp is stable, and it does not move at all. Several times I felt that I was going to defeat the enemy, but after a short shock, they recovered quickly.
"It seems that the leader of this Zhao army is not a simple person."
Li Xin's first battle was to kill Li Mu, the god of war of the Zhao army, and for a time he was regarded as a great enemy in the Zhao Kingdom, which was an honor for a military general and a lifelong pursuit of a military general.
How many generals in the world can have such treatment?
But he never expected that this time he would face Zhao Jun, who had always been a pure infantryman, and he would be beaten into a sandwich meal, although this would not embarrass Li Xin much, but at least it would make him very depressed.
"That's it, if we continue to fight, after all the Zhao troops retreat, we will also be dragged here."
Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Li Xin couldn't help but be disappointed.
"If I have 10,000, 100,000...... How could there be such a war? ”
Li Xin's eyes were fixed on the Zhao military camp.
"The order is that the armies do not have to attack again. Ben was going to personally come forward to greet the commander of the Zhao army. ”
The herald was visibly stunned for a moment, but then went down to give the order.
"I want to see if there is any other general in Zhao Guo besides General Li Mu, who can command like this."
After saying that, he urged the horse to step forward and went directly towards the front of the Zhao army.
