The terrain of Lingshou North City is flat, which is conducive to the battle of chariot formations and iron cavalry. Wuqiu roared and led the chariot and Hercules to charge towards the Zhao army. Zhao Jue also led the chariot and met the Zhongshan army like lightning. The chariots of the two armies converged, fiercely colliding and fighting. The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of chariots cracking, wailing, and swords converged into an earth-shattering movement.

Due to the fact that the Zhongshan army wore heavy armor. The soldiers and arrows of the Zhao State soldiers cannot hurt the enemy. However, the chariots and strong men led by Wuqiu were armed with heavy subway rods, and all the blows were shattered, and all the charges were sunk. Suddenly, the Zhao army was defeated, with countless casualties. Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, the Sima Wang clan beat the drum and withdrew their troops.

In this battle, Zhao lost 500 chariots, while the Zhongshan army lost less than 100 chariots.

Seeing that Zhao Guo was withdrawing, Wuqiu did not take the initiative to pursue, and in the face of the great victory, he shouted: "Long live Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

Zhao Jue led the chariot back. Among them were the soldiers of Zhao State, who said timidly: "They are devils. ”

Seeing that the Sima Wang clan was strong, he did not want to lose the formation, so he personally led 10,000 iron horsemen and rushed into the enemy formation. There were still a hundred steps away from the enemy, and Zhao Guo's ten thousand arrows flew like locusts, flying towards the Hu people in Zhongshan. However, because the Hu people had heavy armor as protection, the rain of arrows of the Zhao State did not cause serious damage to the Zhongshan Hercules. Seeing that arrows could not hurt the other party, and war knives could not hurt the other party's life, Sima Wang said in shock: "Who are these people?" Ordinary arrows cannot deal damage to enemies at all. ”

Fortunately, Zhao Guotie's cavalry has strong impact, speed, quick reaction, and flexible tactics used by Sima Wang. Although Zhao Guo did not inflict heavy losses on the Hu people, his own losses were not very large.

Wuqiu saw Zhao Guo's iron ride, and he was highly mobile. From time to time, after a roundabout formation, attack their flanks and backs, causing them to flank them. Change tactics from time to time, attack the weak points of the battle formation, penetrate the enemy formation, repeatedly rush and kill, and can attack any position of them. The bow and crossbow arrows of Zhao Guo's iron cavalry, coupled with the speed and power of the iron cavalry, are overwhelming. As soon as the Zhongshan army formed a formation, the crossbowmen were scattered by Zhao Guo's iron cavalry before they could shoot a rain of arrows. The car formation that had just been placed firmly was also ridden by Zhao Guotie, and the impact was scattered.

Wuqiu couldn't figure out Zhao Guo's iron cavalry endless strange fighting style, and the Zhongshan soldiers fought separately, and were soon besieged by the Zhao army, and each was broken. If it weren't for the protection of the heavy iron armor, this way of fighting, the Hu people would have already been broken and killed by the Zhao army. Wuqiu saw that Zhao Guo's iron cavalry was a great threat to him, but his iron staff could not give the other party a devastating blow. Wuqiu was furious, and even chose to "throw the car into the car, and the person to the person," and attacked Zhao Guotieqi.

The strong men of Zhongshan Huren saw that the lord would use this way to knock down Zhao Guo's iron cavalry. Everyone followed suit, completely ignoring their own casualties, and fought against Zhao Guotie's iron cavalry in the way of 'throwing cars into cars and people throwing people into people'. Sima Wang led the cavalry, and fought and retreated, while using arrows and swords to slash the weak point of the Hu people's strong men's iron armor. The other side wants to use the heavy subway armor to consume the other party's strength. However, the Hu people did not just attack Zhao Guo's iron cavalry with brute force. As long as Zhao Guotie rides, it is not within the range of the attack. They will not waste their strength, let alone wear heavy armor to pursue the Zhao army.

The Sima Wang clan has been fighting for many years, and it is the first time they have encountered such a situation. He didn't know what was going on in the back of his mind these Hu Hercules. It is also impossible to analyze why they chose the way of suicidal warfare. The Sima Wang clan used various tactics and rushed down several times, but Zhao Guotieqi did not bargain. In a short period of time, the Sima Wang clan did not have a good strategy to face the barbaric style of fighting of the Zhongshan Hu people.

If this battle continues, even if it wins, the Zhao army will pay a heavy price.

Since the implementation of Hufu cavalry archery, Zhao has fought foreign wars without defeat. In this battle, Zhao Guotieqi suffered a serious setback for the first time. If the iron cavalry can't break through the enemy, the damage will be even greater if they engage in infantry and chariot battles. Zhao Yong stood in the distance and watched his iron cavalry, unable to break the chariot formation of the Hu people's Hercules. However, the Hu people were able to attack the Zhao Iron Cavalry by means of chariots and throwing people.

This iron horseman, there is another name... A man of 100 gold. It is enough to see how much effort Zhao Yong has spent on this iron horse. Zhao Yong did not want this iron cavalry to be destroyed in the hands of the Hu people's strong men, so he ordered people to beat drums and withdraw the troops. Sima Wangzu heard the sound of war drums and led the iron cavalry to quickly leave the battlefield. However, in this battle, Zhao Guo still damaged 3,000 iron horsemen.

Seeing that the Zhao army was retreating again, Wuqiu roared angrily: "Long live Zhongshan." ”

Hu Ren Hercules also shouted wildly: "Long live Zhongshan." ”

Zhao Yong took the initiative to order, while leading the army to retreat back three miles, to avoid fighting against this Hu people's strongmen. On the other side, gather everyone to find a way to crack the strategy of Hu Ren Hercules.

Zhao Yong convened the generals to discuss, and everyone bowed their heads and was silent.

If you want to break through Lingshou, set foot in Zhongshan. The first difficulty in the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State was how to deal with the Hu people of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Zhao Yong asked: "Sima Wang, Zhao Jue, what did you find when you fought against the Hu people's Hercules?" ”

Sima Wangzu replied: "The Hu people are strong men, wearing heavy and strong metro armor, which can block arrows from afar and ordinary blades from near. Our arrows and swords could not hurt them at all. The iron rod of the Hu people weighs 100 catties, and it is all broken and all of it is sunken. The iron cavalry led by the minister cannot inflict heavy damage on the enemy. On the contrary, they threw their cars and people into their tactics, and lost 3,000 iron horsemen. The king, the minister didn't know how to break the local chariot array and iron armor array. ”

Zhao Jue also said: "The iron staff of the Hu people can sweep our chariots, and our chariots do not cause much damage to them. Your Lord, we have finally met a real opponent. ”

"The iron armor of the Hu people is heavy, and it can withstand arrows from afar, and it can withstand ordinary blades at close. The opponent's iron rod can give us a devastating blow. Zhao Yong pondered for a little and said: "We can't attack from afar, and we can't attack from close range." Neither our iron cavalry nor our chariots can damage the opponent and give them a single blow. In this case, we will only be beaten. Ladies and gentlemen, is there no way for us to break this Hu people's Hercules? ”

Fei Yi, Tian Buli, Sima Wangzu, Zhao Jue, Le Yi and others were helpless. This Hu people are strongmen, shooting through heavy armor. Far away can withstand the attack of the rain of arrows, close to the damage of ordinary blades. The Hu people's iron staff is extremely powerful, and can not only attack chariots, but also injure war horses. Zhao Guo's close attack and long attack can't help this Hu people's strong men. On the contrary, regardless of the casualties, the Hu people attacked the Zhao army in the way of throwing cars and people into people. Attack the Zhao army in close quarters with a chariot and iron staff.

This battle is indeed not easy for Zhao Guo. How to break the formation of this Hu people's chariot and iron armor, for a while, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State had no idea.

……

Since Zhongshan Wang Zi succeeded to the throne, he was attacked by Zhao several times. Zhao won consecutive battles, and Zhongshan won consecutive battles. In recent years, Zhongshan Wang Zi has also been looking for ways to weaken Zhao and strengthen Zhongshan. Wang Zi of Zhongshan followed the example of Goujian, the king of Yue, to select beauties and send them to Zhao State, hoping that Zhao Jun would indulge in Gentle Township, ignore the government and politics from then on, and have no intention of attacking Zhongshan Kingdom. However, Zhongshan Wangzi is not Gou Jian, and Zhao Junyong is not Wu Wangfucha. Zhongshan Wang Zi's strategy of messing with Zhao with a beautiful woman also ended with the failure of Zhao Guobing's Lingshou.

Now, the deeds of Wuqiu Lu leading the Hu people to inflict heavy losses on the Zhao army soon spread to Zhongshan Palace. Zhongshan Wang Zi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Zhao Guo has bullied widows for many years, and this time, he finally taught Zhao Guo a hard lesson in arrogance. ”

The minister of Zhongshan congratulated: "God bless Zhongshan Kingdom, God bless the king." ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi's mood has never been happy at this moment, and he hurriedly said: "Go and summon Wuqiu into the palace, and the widow will reward him heavily." ”

Wu Qiu entered the Zhongshan Palace and saluted: "The last general will see the king." ”

"Hurry up, my hill." Zhongshan Wang Zi said with a smile: "You are a meritorious man of the widow, and the widow will reward you heavily." What do you want, I said. ”

Wuqiu replied: "The last general is willing to lead his troops to kill the enemy and serve his family and country." ”

"Okay." Zhongshan Wang Zi praised: "If there is a person like you in my country, Zhao Guoan will not be broken." ”

Sima Xi asked in a calm tone, "Your Majesty, the scout is here to report." Zhao Guo was afraid of the power of our army's chariots and iron armor, and took the initiative to retreat three miles. ”

When Zhongshan Wang Zi heard this, he said loudly: "Okay." In this battle, we played the prestige of our army. It turns out that Zhao Jun will also have a time when he is terrified. ”

Yin Jian Gong asked: "Our army has won a complete victory, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue, annihilate the Zhao army, and recover the territory." ”

Wuqiu said with an embarrassed face: "The chariot and iron armor are indestructible. However, the iron armor is heavy, and it is not suitable for long-distance attacks, let alone long-term battles. If the war is deadlocked, the soldiers will die of exhaustion and exhaustion. ”

Gongzi Shang said: "If we can't attack from afar, we can't defeat the Zhao army." The threat of the siege of the 100,000-strong army of Zhao State could not be lifted. ”

Wu Qiu replied: "It's a pity that our army has less than 1,000 sets of iron armor. Otherwise, we will be able to rely on the strength of the iron armor to move the battle line forward. We will be able to defeat the Zhao army, regain the territory, and march to Handan. ”

"It's easy to do." Zhongshan Wang Zi said with a smile: "The widow has collected the power of the whole country and cast ten thousand sets of iron armor. ”

Wu Qiu said confidently: "If we have ten thousand sets of iron armor, plus the battlefield and strong men. I am confident that I will break through the Zhao army, recover the territory, and come to Handan. ”

"Okay." Wang Zi of Zhongshan was overjoyed, "The widow prepared wine and food to celebrate the general's achievements." ”

Wu Qiu arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The last rays of sunshine fell into the valley, and the night came again. The earth, once again plunged into silence. However, the lights in the Zhongshan Palace flickered, the cups and lights were staggered, the laughter and laughter continued, and the silk and bamboo wind music continued day and night. Gongzi still saw that the strong enemy had not retreated, but the king sang and danced and said: "Your Majesty, the strong enemy is besieging the city, and we don't want to break the enemy's strategy." But here, singing and dancing are leveling. ”

Hearing this, Zhongshan Wang Zi said angrily: "The widow has been tortured by Zhao Jun for many days, and today is a big victory, how can he not drink to celebrate." If you sweep away the widow's character, don't blame the widow for being ruthless. ”

Childe was still unwilling to go along with the dirt, so he flicked his long sleeves and got up to leave the table.

Zhongshan Wang Zi was not disturbed by Yaxing because of the departure of Gongzi Shang, and the Zhongshan Palace was still flickering, and the cups and lights were staggered. At this moment, the mutton soup that Zhongshan Wang Zi ordered was served. Wang Zi of Zhongshan presented the heart of the sheep to Wuqiu to show his reuse.

Wuqiu won the heart of the sheep, and immediately expressed his loyalty: "The last general, swear to follow the king to the death." ”

The king of Zhongshan was overjoyed, and ordered the waiters to distribute the mutton soup and mutton to all the people in the palace. The king of Zhongshan wants everyone in the palace to get his favor and kindness.

Mutton soup and mutton are limited after all, and there are many ministers here. A waiter came to Sima Ziqi, but found that there was no mutton soup, not even meat scraps. The waiter knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the sheep soup is gone." ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi drank the wine and said with a smile: "The people who can drink the mutton soup and eat the mutton are all loyal ministers of the widow." ”

Those who drank the mutton soup and ate the mutton complimented: "The king's mutton soup and mutton are both delicious in the world." ”

When the waiter came to Sima Ziqi, it happened that the mutton soup and mutton were gone. Now the words of Zhongshan Wang Zi and the ministers have reached his ears, which is really humiliating to him.

Wang Zi of Zhongshan did not pay attention to Sima Ziqi's unhappiness, and sneered: "The widow is the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, and whoever you want to give the sheep soup to drink, you can drink it." Whoever the widow wants to give the mutton to eat, he can eat it. The widow is the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, and everything is the widow's decision. ”

"If you eat the king's fortune, you will share the sorrows of the widowed. I have disturbed my family and my country, and I have relied on other countries to bully the widows. One day, the widow will cut them with a thousand knives and give them to the animals for food. Zhongshan Wang Zi deliberately humiliated Sima Ziqi and shouted: "Sima Ziqi, you won't hold a grudge against the widow because you didn't drink mutton soup and eat mutton!" ”

Sima Ziqi tried to restrain the anger in his heart, and replied calmly: "Minister, don't dare." ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi didn't put the other party in his eyes, and sneered: "You don't have the courage to forgive you." ”
