The sky was faint, and black clouds covered the land. Suddenly, the rain poured down and soaked his clothes. At noon, the sun was high, and the soldiers of Zhao took off their armor and dried their rain-soaked clothes. Zhao Yong carried Feiyi, Tian Buli, Sima Wangzu, Zhao Jue and others to patrol military affairs.

I only heard a few soldiers gathered around and complained: "This ghost weather, sometimes heavy rain, sometimes the sun is shining, and it doesn't let people live." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? It rained, and it was finally cool down for a while. In less than a few hours, it was terribly hot. ”

"Isn't it? The clothes I was wearing were wringing out of the water. When I wear heavy armor and clothes to fight with the Zhongshan Hu people, I'm afraid I won't be able to run. ”

"With such a heavy armor, how can you have the strength to fight!"

"That's right! The underwear was wet with rain, and the sun was poisonous. The water vapor evaporates, and it is good not to faint from heat stroke. How can there be any strength to fight? ”

Zhao Jue saw that the military discipline was scattered, and the gentleman's face was displeased, and he coughed.

Seeing Zhao Jun and the others, the soldiers of Zhao Jun were instantly speechless, and their whole bodies trembled. Zhao Jue reprimanded: "The big war is coming, if you don't practice diligently, how can you gossip here." Don't leave quickly, step up preparations. ”

"Whoa." Several soldiers took the order and left.

Zhao Jue pleaded guiltily and said: "Your Majesty, it suddenly rained heavily last night. At this moment, the sun is high and the heat is unbearable. The officers and soldiers looked slack and the military discipline was loose. Please punish the king. ”

Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Jue, did not speak, and after inspecting the defense of other places, he led everyone back to the main army's tent.

Prince Zhang, Fei Yi, Tian Buli, Sima Wangzu, Le Yi and Zhao Jue and others, because they had just been defeated by the Hu people yesterday, sat quietly on the side and did not say a word.

Zhao Yong broke the silence and said, "Everyone, Zhongshan Kingdom's car array and iron armor array, we really have no way to crack it?" ”

"Your Majesty, let the ministers fight. The ministers are not afraid of the Hu people. The ministers will lead 5,000 soldiers, and they will surely be able to beat them upside down. Lou Chu had never fought with the Hu people's Hercules, and there was naturally a little more contempt in his words.

Sima Wangzu and Hu people have fought strongly, so they naturally know the strength of the enemy, and reminded: "General Lou Xuan, I don't know anything. The Hercules of the Hu people of Zhongshan wore heavy iron armor and held a huge iron staff. The chariots of the Hu people were also well armed. Iron armor can resist arrows far away, and can withstand the damage of ordinary swords at close range. Our long-range attack and attack cannot cause damage to the Hu people's Hercules. But the opponent's iron rod can destroy our chariots and horses in the near future. The opponent throws a car into a car and a man to cast a man's tactics to carry out long-range attacks against us. ”

"Invest in cars with cars, and invest in people with people." Lou Shu asked, "Isn't this kind of tactic a suicidal attack?" ”

Prince Zhang said: "Zhongshan Kingdom just wants to use this tactic and die with us." ”

Fei Yi replied: "We have finally trained an iron horseman, how can we die with them." ”

"We can't attack from close range, we can't attack from afar. But the opponent's close and long-range attacks can kill us. The other party did not hesitate to choose to die with us in a suicidal way. Lou sighed: "This group of people don't know how to cherish the lives of soldiers, it is difficult for them to be devils." ”

Zhao Jue remembered the fierce battle yesterday, and he was still a little scared in his heart, "They are simply evil ghosts from hell." ”

"They're from hell, and we're going to let them go back to hell." Zhao Yong stared at everyone and said confidently: "Everyone, I have a plan, I don't know if I can break through the opponent's car formation and iron armor formation. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly said, "What is the plan of the king?" ”

"The strategy of the widow was inspired by the conversation between the soldiers just now." Zhao Yongdao: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The iron armor and iron staff of the Hu people Hercules are advantages, but the weight of the iron armor and iron staff is its disadvantage. The widow thought all night, it was clear that the Hu people had an advantage on the battlefield, why didn't they take the initiative to attack us and take the opportunity to recover the territory. ”

Prince Zhang replied: "The iron armor and iron rod are indestructible. However, the iron armor and iron staff were too heavy to attack long distances, nor could they fight for long periods of time. If the Hu people run long distances to fight, they will not be able to bear the weight of the iron armor, and they will be exhausted. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Yong saw that his son could analyze such words, and his eyes showed relief, "We took the initiative to retreat three miles, but they didn't dare to pursue us." This is because of the inferiority of the iron armor and the iron staff, which prevents them from taking the initiative to attack us. ”

Tian Buli replied: "We don't take the initiative to attack them. They can't take the initiative to attack us. The crisis of our soldiers encircling Lingshou cannot be resolved either. But our attack on Lingshou will also be at a stalemate. The situation is already not in our favor. ”

Fei Yi continued: "If the Hu people choose to move the battle line, we can't defeat them, so we can only choose to retreat. We take a step back, they go further. Our strategy and tactics will be broken by the other side. Bingwei Lingshou will also be resolved by the other party. ”

Sima Wangzu said: "Hold on to resist, we have a way." However, you can't take the initiative to attack. If it goes on for a long time, it will wear down the fighting spirit of our army. When our 100,000-strong army goes out on an expedition, how much grain and grass will be consumed every day. After a long time, our supplies could not keep up. The domestic economy is in shambles. Even if we capture Lingshou, we can't defend against the princes. ”

"Uncle Sima is right. If we can't capture Lingshou in a short period of time, we will fall into passivity at home and abroad. We will also enter a predicament because of the conquest of Zhongshan. Once, the princes of the Central Plains intervened in the internal affairs of the mountain. Prince Zhang looked uneasy and said, "Our situation is also dangerous. ”

"You're right. Over time, we will get into a predicament. Zhao Yong said energetically: "In this battle, we must fight quickly." ”

Zhao Jue sighed: "Zhongshan has a strong warrior of the Hu people to resist us. We can't break through Lingshou in a short period of time. ”

Fei Yi also said: "Hu Ren Hercules has become our biggest obstacle. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be upset. Zhongshan Hercules is a tough bone to gnaw. However, it is not impossible to attack. Zhao Yong said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Let's put aside the advantages of this strong team and start with the disadvantages of this strong team." The iron armor array and the car array are not broken. ”

Zhao Jue said: "Your Excellency, what are the weaknesses of this strong team. ”

Prince Zhang's eyes were bright, and he replied: "The iron armor and iron rod are heavy, and the reaction speed is slow and the response is slow. The enemy cannot take the initiative to attack us, nor can he fight for a long time, let alone fight for a long distance. ”

Tian Buli said: "We will use iron horses to entangle them." After a long time, they will lose their strength, and we will fight back. ”

Sima Wangzu shook his head and said: "I led 10,000 iron horsemen to rush into the formation, but the opponent's tactics of throwing carts and people into people injured 3,000 iron horsemen. This approach does not work. ”

Zhao Yong saw that Le Yi was silent on the side, and said with a smile: "The plan of the widow, you have thought of it." ”

Le Yi replied: "Chen guessed a little. ”

Zhao Yong smiled: "You will tell the other party what you guessed." ”

"Whoa." Le Yi's eyes were calm, and he said in a gentle tone: "A few hours ago, it rained, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk. At this moment, the sun is high and the heat is unbearable. We play against them. Attack them from a distance with arrows, and then use the advantage of the Iron Rider to dash their formation. With our swords on the ground, we attacked where their armor could not protect. We fought it in a grappling manner. The other man was dressed in heavy armor and armed with a huge iron staff. You can't play against us for a long time. We just have to entangle them and drain their strength. They will die of exhaustion without us killing them. ”

"What Le Yi said is exactly what the widow thinks." Zhao Yong laughed and said, "We used wheel tactics to fight with them repeatedly. The scorching sun shone on it, and the other party was dressed in heavy armor, as if it was roasted by fire. The energy and energy they expend will increase. If we entangle them, they will die of exhaustion. Hu people are strongmen, and they are self-defeating. ”

When everyone heard this, they also thought it was a good plan.

Zhao Yong said while it was hot: "Can you win this battle?" Can this plan be successful? It's up to you to fight together. ”

The crowd said, "Please give the order." ”

Zhao Yong gathered all the iron cavalry on one side, and issued a new battle order on the other side.

Wuqiu climbed the city tower and saw tens of thousands of Zhao troops besieging the city outside the city.

Wuqiu sneered: "I don't measure myself. ”

At that moment, Wuqiu led the strong men and chariots out of the city to meet the enemy.

After the first drum beat. Sima Wangzu led two thousand iron horsemen and rushed into the battle. Shoot with arrows first, and then slash with your sword where the opponent's iron armor can't protect.

Seeing that the soldiers of Zhao State came to die, Wuqiu went all out to fight. He wants to make another meritorious service and become an immortal general who turns the tide in Zhongshan. However, after a brief battle between the Sima Wang clan, they feigned defeat and retreated.

After the Sima Wang clan retreated. Zhao Jue led two thousand iron cavalry and attacked the formation. Use the same tactics to attack the other side. After a short battle, they feigned defeat and retreated.

After Zhao Jue retreated. Le Yi led two thousand iron horsemen and rushed into the formation. Similar tactics were also used to meet the enemy.

After Le Yi retreated, Lou Yan led two thousand iron cavalry to attack the enemy formation. Use the same tactics, shoot, slash, and retreat.

Seeing that he had repelled wave after wave of Zhao army's attacks, Wuqiu was ecstatic in his heart. Under the repeated attacks of the Zhao army, Wuqiu gradually felt physically exhausted. However, Zhao Jun did not give the other party a chance to kick his breath.

By the time Wuqiu realized that he had won the plan, it was too late.

In the face of Zhao's strong and repeated offensives, he could only be tired of facing the battle and could not slack off. Once there is half a point of relaxation, the Zhao army will shoot their weak points with arrows and slash their weak points with their swords.

After four hours of fighting, this Hu strong man finally spilled blood on the battlefield, and all of them fell under the Zhao army's repeated attacks. Wu Qiu Yu himself, because of exhaustion, was jointly killed by Sima Wang, Le Yi, Lou Chuan and others.

This Hu Hercules was the only force in Zhongshan that could compete with Zhao. However, this force also fell under Zhao Guotie's cavalry.

Sima Ziqi thought about the scene of being humiliated by Zhongshan Wangzi, and became angry. In addition, the Hu people died in battle. Sima Ziqi believed that Zhongshan's national qi was exhausted. So, he took advantage of the night to open the city gate and meet Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun obtained the defense map of the military strength of Lingshou City dedicated by Sima Zi, gathered superior forces, and attacked Lingshou.

When night fell, Zhao Jun finally broke through Lingshou and approached Zhongshan Palace.
