With the beat of the drums, the Zhao army ambushed near Kucheng and poured out of the nest, drowning the last of the stubborn Yan army dead soldiers under the encirclement, and the battle was over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that the originally orderly array of those Yan State soldiers became fragmented, listening to their call before they died, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be moved.

First of all, he must be amazed by Yan General Rong Yan's killing move, this is indeed an excellent opportunity: to make a posture of being forced to retreat to aid Wuyang, and give up the Zhao city that has been reached, but when he deceived all the troops of the Zhao army to recover the city, he sent a small cavalry based on chariots and horses, light and convenient, interspersed between the two enemy armies in the east and west, and went straight to the command center of the Zhao army, which was also the bitter place of the grain storage site.

If Zhao Hao can be killed in one fell swoop, no matter how bad it is, the 100,000 stone grain and grass here will be burned to the ground, then the Zhao army will not be able to fight this battle anymore.

However, it's a pity, just like Rong Hao thought that he himself "saw through" Zhao Hao's intention to attack Gaoyangyi, Zhao Hao had long been wary of Rong Hao's desperate counterattack, the emptiness of Kucheng, the gap between the two Zhao armies in the east and west, was actually the appearance he used to deceive his opponent, secretly, Zhao Hao had already ambushed a lot of soldiers on both sides of the camp.

When the Yan military chariot rushed towards Kucheng under the cover of the pale morning mist, they didn't know that they had entered the encirclement carefully designed by Zhao Hao......

As if with the cold from Liaodong, this group of chariots and cavalry rushed to kill, according to the plan, they were going to kill the camp with dense felt tents in one fell swoop, and set fire in all directions, messing up the Zhao army's position, but they encountered an ambush outside.

Because it was a long-distance attack, the Yan army only had 500 horsemen and 300 horses, and if this army encountered the Zhao army on the open plains, it might still be able to succeed. But they entered the perimeter of the camp crisscrossed the ravine, and when a gong sounded and the sound of killing rang out, thousands of Zhao soldiers armed with spears and halberds jumped out of the trenches and began to surround them, in fact, the end was already doomed.

Those who can't return it will also die in the car; The more dangerous and the obstacles, those who travel far away by the enemy, the car is exhausted; There is a deep ditch on the left, there is a pit on the right, the height is like flat ground, the enemy is lured by advancing and retreating, and the ground of this ride is also trapped.

Caught in such a circle, the other party's car rides, absolutely return the reason.

But the bravery of this group of honorable worms carefully selected the dead soldiers also really made Zhao Kuo look at it differently.

After a long march all night, the Yan army must be exhausted, but knowing that there is no hope of victory, they still rely on horses and chariots to resist desperately, Zhao Kuo saw that in the increasingly narrow battlefield, the horse's hooves were hurrying, and the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom wanted to find a breakthrough, but as soon as the horses approached the spear formation like a copper and iron forest, they jumped back in horror,

Then the drums of war thundered, the bows and arrows whistled, the shoe splashed in shallow water, the dull sound of swords splitting wooden shields, the friction of brass and iron, a thousand horses screamed at the same time, and the people cursed at the same time......

The array of Zhao Jun's ambush soldiers was tightly sealed, and those Yan people had no way to escape, so they could only be slowly oppressed into the range of activities, either stabbed to death by Ge spears, or squeezed and trampled to death by their own people. But until the end of the battle, Zhao Kuo still saw a Yan man wearing a mink hat hiding behind the car and firing a bow, taking the life of a Zhao pawn each time, until he was dismembered by the slowly approaching Ge spear......

For all this, Zhao Hao just watched quietly from the watchtower, expressionless, as if he had long been used to it, and even Zhao Kuo imagined that it was very rare for his father to stand at the top and wave the flag to the east and west, because of this level of small battle, the two generals under his command could handle it.

He just pressed Zhao Kuo's shoulder and let him see every detail of the battlefield clearly......

The voices on the battlefield faded until they died down, and at last only the wounded horses were neighing miserably, when a few wisps of red dawn appeared in the east, and the sky was completely bright.

"The art of war is dead, the battlefield is alive, Kuo'er, what you see in front of you is a living battlefield."

It wasn't until the adventurous Yan Guochariot was wiped out that Zhao Hao pointed to this piece of scarlet blood and said to Zhao Kuo.

"I will remember ...... for the rest of my life" Zhao Kuo lowered his head, but his fingers were still trembling involuntarily, after all, this was the first time he was at the scene of the bloody battle, and it was normal to be shocked.

"What do you understand?" Zhao Hao pointed at himself, and then pointed to the ordinary soldiers below who were either defeated and died miserably, or laughed and looked for loot among the enemy, and then looked back at his son, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Zhao Kuo was awe-inspiring, he did have an understanding, as if a toddler had touched the threshold of something......

When training the 100 people in Linzi and dealing with the deserters, Zhao Kuo thought that the soldiers were fierce, and the army should erase the self of the soldiers, so that they could not help but become a small component of a huge killing machine, and the whole army was like a person, advancing and retreating according to the sound of drums, so that they could have the domineering spirit of winning the battle and conquering the battle.

Today, however, he has a different feeling, for those soldiers who stand on the front line, it is impossible to completely erase their individuality, for them, war is dirty, bloody, full of passion or fear, war is the stinky urine of incontinence in front of the enemy, war is the fear in the eyes of the enemy when it is not much different from himself, war is the madness of being able to wave a spear at his comrades when he kills to the red eye, and it is the crow that cannot soar in the sky for a long time after the war.

However, for a commander-in-chief who takes a holistic view of the overall situation and conducts command, it is necessary to erase his feelings to a certain extent, so that he can make a calm judgment. War is such a cold thing, only you have to find a way to overwhelm your opponent, or be defeated by your opponent.

That's right, it's like playing chess, Zhao Kuo was also fascinated by this when he was young, two clever chess players must not be so passionate, but focus all their attention on how to win!

From the father who commanded the battle, Zhao Kuo could already see such qualities, but he himself couldn't do it......

"This land of a hundred miles at the junction of Yan and Zhao is like a chessboard." Zhao Kuo heard himself say in a hoarse voice.

"These 100,000 generals, soldiers, and people are all chess pieces, and my father is the chess player......"

He touched his bun a little embarrassedly: "From beginning to end, it seems that he is at a loss on the chessboard and does not know the overall situation, only knowing that he is staring at a black chess piece of Baizi in front of him, and only by staying by his father's side can he get a glimpse of the whole picture." ”

In his words, he still has some unwillingness to be a "chess piece".

Zhao Hao glanced at him coldly: "If you can't even do a chess piece, how will you be a chess player in the future?" ”

……

After this battle, coupled with the previous ambush that pursued the Zhao army, the Yan army had lost two battles and two defeats, losing more than 3,000 soldiers, but at the same time, the Zhao army that infiltrated near Wuyang was still active, haunting the mountains and forests, making the Yan king and the nobles of the Yan Kingdom tremble.

In this situation, the shrinking front of the Yan army is a foregone conclusion, and Zhao Hao's army will pull out the camp and march forward, not giving the Yan people breathing space.

Zhao Kuo also wants to return to his unit and continue to be the five hundred masters who "don't know the overall situation at a loss and only know the white son ahead".

Before leaving, another batch of baggage from Handan arrived, this time using a different carriage to transport the grain, and there were also letters from Chang'an Jun to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo sat on the bloodstained grass and finished reading the letter, and in his reply to Chang Anjun, he wrote what he had seen and heard in the rest of the month, especially his father's strange scheme, and at the end of the letter, he also added the words that touched him deeply and gave it to Chang Anjun.

"If you want to be a chess player, you must first be a chess piece!"

……

What Zhao Kuo didn't know was that when his letter changed hands to Chang'anjun on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the prince first bowed his head: "Zhao Kuo is right, the chess pieces are indeed not good if you want to, but ......"

In the mansion of Chang'an Jun in Handan, Mingyue closed the silk book and said lightly: "But this experience of building a car has made me see one thing clearly, can you do things if you only do chess pieces and don't be chess players?" Can you win the Battle of Changping? ”

He seemed to have made up his mind, raised his eyes, and said to the middle concubine in the mansion: "Please Mr. Lu Buwei come up!" ”
