Chapter 879: The Division of the Tiger Wolf?
"Are you scared?"
Zihu glanced at Zhiguo next to him, and was very surprised in his heart, this head of the Zhi family, who was ordered to be in danger after the death of his father and brother, behaved very wise and brave on weekdays, and the chief of the family also appreciated it, and the idea of sending the dead to burn the pontoon bridge was also proposed by him, but he didn't expect that there was something that scared him, was it the army of flames on the other side? Or is it the commander in chief?
"Can you not be afraid...... Zhiguo has always considered himself a weak person, and he does not need to deny his cowardice like his father Zhiwenzi and nephew Zhiyao. He raised his hand www.biquge.info and thrust an arrow into his thigh, which would not hurt through the leather armor, but still make his body feel pain, relieve his trembling with fear, and drive away the drunkenness he had drunk from burning the enemy pontoon bridge.
"Zhao Jun on the other side, but the army of a hundred battles who surrounded my nephew to death, as wise as my father, can't match Zhao Wuxian's tricks......"
"Zhao Wuxian......" Zihu groaned, and he was very curious about the distant relative with the same surname who was famous at a young age, and the head of the Qin State Zuo.
He is like a strange peak of this era, hidden in a thick fog. Some people say that he is a heavy-eared figure of Duke Wen of Jin, who endured the shame of being expelled, went abroad to create a new world, and launched a fierce revenge after returning, so that the enemies were killed and annihilated, which can be called a model for the exiled princes and grandchildren; Some people say that he is a despicable villain, who used shameless means to win the trust of Yang Hu, betrayed him again, and made Lu Sanhuan perish in the same way; Some people also say that he is a lustful and insatiable prostitute, just like Qi Xianggong, he doesn't even let go of his own sister, and he should be spurned by the world...... Some people say that he is cruel, merciless to his enemies, and will destroy them quickly, while others say that he is wise and gentle, and loves the people like a son.
But no matter what the public opinion is, Zhao Wuxian is still a stone wall that is slowly pressing towards the princes, indestructible, unstoppable, Dai Rong, Qi and Zheng Guo can't stop it, and now it's finally the turn of Qin.
The Zhi clan is no stranger to all this, although in the battle of Danshui Changping, it was Wei's defection that led to the reversal of the tide of the war. But after escaping, Zhiguo had to admit that in the final analysis, they were inferior to the Zhao family in terms of strategy and strength.
Fortunately, the Zhi clan was luckier than Fan and the Bank of China, and their remnants fled to Hexi, and after surrendering to the Qin State, they were sheltered, and they have been slowly recovering their strength in the past four years, and they are also preparing to take revenge on Zhao Wei Han, especially the Wei clan!
The Qin side also attaches great importance to the Zhi family, not only to the Zhiguo entrusted with the important task of sealing the territory, this time the Jin State attacked Hexi, Qin Bo even sent Zuo Shu's eldest son Hu to assist, in order to show his support for the Zhi family, and the determination to defend Hexi!
Zihu was quite optimistic, and encouraged Zhiguo: "As long as you keep the Dragon Gate, Zhao Jun is helpless, you see, this mountain and river are solid, and the treasure of the Qin State is also!" "Just as the monarchs and ministers of the previous Qin State were obsessed with Hexi, Zihu had long regarded Hexi as Qin's inherent property.
What he didn't know was that his distant relatives with the same surname had already made an oath: "The danger of rivers and mountains is not enough to insure it, and if the strategy is right, the danger will become a smooth road...... Just like Jin Xiangong destroyed Yu and King Wu broke Chu, just like today! ”
When the first light of dawn shone on the dragon gate, Qin and Zhibing, who were ecstatic about burning the enemy's pontoon bridge last night, rubbed their eyes and walked out of the camp, but they were stunned to find that although the black wreckage of the boat bridge was still there, after a night of operation, Zhao Jun's pontoon bridge extended a lot to this side again.
And the Zhao army was also assembled in the early morning, waving the flag, and was ready to force the crossing......
……
"It seems that Zhao Jun is serious this time, they are the same as the Wei family, and they are determined to win Hexi......"
After Zihu and Zhiguo glanced at each other, they went down to make their own preparations, Zhiguo let himself dispel his fear, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and asked people to prepare rockets and other things, and they must send dead soldiers again, rush over and burn them, Zhao took a few, and he burned them a few times!
However, at this moment, on the north side of the defenders of Qin and Zhidahe, there was a sudden noise, it was the scouts from the north who had returned, they had suffered heavy losses, and everyone was bloody.
Horse riding is not the patent of the Zhao family, the ancestor of the Qin people, Feizi, started as a horse herder, and fought with Rong Di all the year round, in terms of familiarity with horses, they are stronger than the Zhao family. And as early as two hundred years ago, Qin Wengong commanded 700 cavalry to hunt between Wangwei, and this tradition continued, so that by the time they reached the Battle of Changping, the number of cavalry dispatched had reached 5,000! It was only a lot more than Zhao Guo's.
It's a pity that the Qin people of this era still distorted science and technology, and after recovering the hometown of the Western Zhou Dynasty, their herdsmen lost rapidly.
It was not until recent years that the cavalry of the distant relative of the same surname Zhao shone brightly, which attracted the attention of the Qin people, and began to rearm the single horse, and also equipped with saddles and stirrups that were easy to imitate, which made the Qin people's combat effectiveness a great grade, and at the same time allowed them to have a flexible and mobile scout force, placed on the flanks, and discovered the whereabouts of the enemy in advance.
While discovering each other, they also revealed their whereabouts, the scouts were slaughtered by the rain of arrows, more than half of them were killed and wounded, and the rest of the people brought back valuable news: someone was bypassing Liangshan and killing this side, and it was several miles away!
"Oops!" Zihu secretly said that it was not good, he didn't bring many people, the troops guarding the river were only five or six thousand, and they were scattered at several key points in the north and south to prevent accidents, and the rest were in Shaoliang. Suddenly attacked by thousands of enemies on a detour, the main force of the Zhao army on the opposite bank also began to hurry up to build pontoon bridges, and could cross the river at any time to rush towards this side, and this sniper battle was about to turn into a combined battle......
At this critical juncture, Zhiguo made the most correct choice, and he said to Zihu: "It's also that I'm too careless, with the right fit, with the odd victory, this is the usual means of the Zhao family, Zuo Shuchang, withdraw the troops!" ”
"Withdrawing troops?"
Zihu's face was entangled: "There is no chief in the Qin State who retreats without a fight, if I leave like this, I lose my land and land, even if the king and the chief forgive me, the old Qin people in Yongcheng will spit in my face!" ”
Zhiguo was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "If Zuo Shu Chang stays, he will be the sinner of the Qin State!" The Zhao army was invincible in the field, and if it couldn't be beaten, it slowly retreated and retreated to Shaoliang City, and it may be the only chance to hold on to the city. The number of Zhao troops is not large, and there are nearly 10,000 guards in Shaoliang, even if they break the city wall, they can't help us in the street battle. If the Zhao army pursues, Zuo Shuchang will naturally have a chance to fight with it! I will pick a good battlefield for you, defeat strong enemies, and prove your bravery! ”
……
Standing in the boat, Zhao Wuxian could see the situation in the Qin camp, they were hastily evacuating, but it was too late. Zhao's cavalry came from the north, and they chose their path through the bushes, crossed the antlers and ravines that blocked the way, and slowly flowed to the Qin camp like a stream thawing on a winter morning.
The Qin people behind the palace quickly stepped forward, and their battle was undisciplined, shouting and brandishing bronze swords and wooden spears, desperately rushing towards their opponents. A shout, a sword stabbed and an axe split, killed one by one, and then died heroically, in terms of momentum, it is indeed a "tiger and wolf army".
But it's only as ferocious as a beast.
Zhao Wuxian heard from Post Wuzheng about the way the Qin people fought, this is a fierce state, and the private fighting that has always existed makes them fight fiercely, but this tactic is okay to fight against the Rong Di barbarians, and against the professional army that harvests the enemy's lives in an orderly manner, it has become a waste of death......
"The Qin array is scattered and fighting"! This is their biggest criticism, there is no order, and it is no wonder that Wu Qi in later generations can fight with one enemy and ten, so that the people of Qin do not dare to go east. It was not until Shang Ying brought various laws to the Qin State that regulated personal life and clan behavior, and abandoned etiquette and advocated the first merit, that these Northwest Han Dynasty, who fought separately, were united into a whole and created an invincible "army of tigers and wolves".
The Zhao clan was lucky, they met an incomplete Qin, a Western prince who was full of silk.
The Qin people's palace troops were no more than 1,000, and they quickly collapsed under the impact of the same number of cavalry and the fierce charge of Tian Ben's commanders. They resisted stubbornly and swore not to surrender, but they were trampled straight by the attackers, and with less than one-tenth of the enemy's strength, they launched a counter-charge against the Zhao army, only to delay their pursuit, and the Qin cavalry, after the rain of arrows fired by the crossbows, also fell one after another, leaving only the ownerless horses to flee helplessly in terror.
Because of the tenacity of the Qin people, the battle was slow, and when the large force of the Zhao army stepped on the pontoon bridge, the main force of the enemy's river defense force had already fled.
"Chase!" Zhao Wuxian jumped on the riverbank, and when Yucheng and Tian Ben came to ask for guilt, they only gave such an order, the Qin army knew that the army retreated in a hurry, if it was to let people chase after him, maybe Shaoliang would be able to go down without a fight!
"You should release more scouts along the way, be careful everywhere, the Qin people should not be underestimated, if there is something wrong, don't be greedy, you must stop the pursuit immediately!" He thought about it and warned them again, but the warning didn't work.
When all the Zhao army troops landed on the shore and began to occupy the Qin camp, Zhao Wuxian received the news from the pursuing troops: they were ambushed by Zhiguo in a mountain pass ten miles away from Shaoliang, and more than 100 people died on foot and horses, and Tian Ben was seriously injured!
