At nightfall on this day, when the 50,000 armies of Qin, Wei, and Zheng decided to break through to Weiyi, as if they had seen through their plans, the Zhao army also launched a-for-tat attack.

There are tens of thousands of troops on each side, and generally speaking, the more men and horses, the more likely it is to be confused and unable to command at night, and in the event of a scuffle, it is not uncommon for them to attack each other. Besides, if they were arrayed, both sides would be huge legions several miles long and wide, and it would be extremely difficult to command them, even on a night when the moon and stars were sparse.

So night battles are mostly a last resort, but there are also advantages to the breakout side, provided that they are not detected by the enemy at the outset, of course.

The Zhao army was not afraid of night battles, they had always been wary of this, since the night breakthrough had lost its suddenness, it was a failed move. At this time, if he forcibly broke through, Qin Wei and Zheng, who were not unified in command, would only be in a mess, and even kill each other. So Zihu could only forcibly cancel the breakout plan, and the whole army went on the defensive.

Fortunately, the coalition forces had been initially organized and ready to move, and the cavalry of the Zhao army rushed into the camp and set fire everywhere, although it caused a certain panic, but under the control of Zihu, You Su, and Wei Ju, there were no major casualties. And Zhao Jun was also more cautious, not wanting to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of the night melee, so the striker quickly retreated.

These were only temptations, and the real decisive battle did not officially begin until dawn the next day.

After the sky gradually brightened, Zihu found that the temporary barrier that was not high had been razed to the ground by the Zhao army, and they surrounded it one after another, and on the battle line of more than ten miles in the north, from east to west there were Yang Hu's Dongyang Army, Mu Xia's commander's soldiers, Taiyuan Army, as well as Tian Ben's soldiers, Shangdang Army, and Hanoi Army, each with a clear banner, and the camps were each other's horns.

Most of the Zhao clan's combat forces were concentrated here, totaling *10,000 people, which seemed densely packed, and not only that, but the Shangjun cavalry of the post had already crossed Pusaka and joined the battle to besiege the enemy, and they were separated from the west of the Qin, Wei, and Zheng coalition forces.

In short, this is a narrow area, although the battle line is more than ten miles long, but the width is only seven or eight miles, and the narrowest place is only about five miles. 50,000 allied troops are crowded here, and behind them is the big river, once the Zhao army is pressed, they have no way to retreat, even if they want to fight, they can't show their formation.

So Zihu simply let people bulldoze the camp and come out of the backwater array......

Unlike the backwater battle of the thieves, they had no choice but to do it.

The sun gradually rises in the east, and as time passes, Zhao Jun's array will become more and more meticulous, and as the commander, Zihu must make a choice.

Only then did he realize that he was so nervous, so nervous that he had to keep touching the top of the hilt in his hand to calm himself down.

This saber has brought him glory and brilliance: more than ten years ago, Zihu, who was still in the prime of life, followed Zi Pushuai to rescue Chu with 500 Qin chariots, he fought bravely, killed countless enemies, and was given this sword by the king of Chu after the war.

In the years that followed, Zihu held this sword to guard the territory of Qin and pursue Qin Rong, at least in the West, Qin was a well-deserved "overlord" of Xirong.

However, in the battle of Shaoliang, this sword brought him shame, when the city of Shaoliang was broken, he planned to commit suicide, but was robbed by the Zhao army to stop it, the sword fell to the ground, lying there quietly, not helping at all, during the captivity of the Zhao family, the sword also fell into the hands of others, and did not return to his waist until he was redeemed.

It's a shame, but what is even more shameful is that Zihu failed to bring back the Qin people from the Shaoliang War, and I heard that most of them became vassals of the Zhao clan and were sent to remote places such as Daijun, Dongyang, and Hejian to do hard labor.

Since then, he has often stroked this sword to warn himself not to forget the old shame, and to learn from the three masters of the Qin State, Meng Mingshi, Western Begging and Bai Yibing, although defeated, fight again, until he regroups, defeats the Zhao family, and avenges the revenge with one arrow!

However, today, the despair and tragedy of Shaoliang's First World War are about to be repeated......

Zihu was unwilling, he warned himself that even if he died not enough to atone for his sins, he would at least bring back these 40,000 Qin soldiers safely.

Thinking of this, he gradually calmed down, although Zihu is not a wise general, he can also judge the situation on the battlefield.

They have no way to retreat, they can only move forward, so that although the chance of survival is slim, at least they can cause greater losses to the Zhao army, and some troops will be able to break through successfully.

But the main direction of attack is a university question......

There are thousands of cavalry in the west to maintain pressure, and in the north is a dense Zhao army formation, before dawn, Zihu also gritted his teeth and launched a tentative attack, but Mucha just put his ironclad soldiers in front of the formation, the spear Sen Sen made people dare not approach, and then fired a round of ballista at the Qin army demonstratively, Zihu knew that this was the hardest bone of the Zhao army, and if he bit it, he would definitely break a lot of teeth.

Moreover, the Zhao cavalry on the flank continued to attack, coming to shoot arrows to disrupt the Zheng army that was arranged in the west, if it were not for the defense of the Yuli formation, relying on the defense line composed of chariots, it could be regarded as a small restraint of the cavalry, perhaps the coalition army would have been broken through a long time ago.

In short, this means that Zihu can no longer break through to the west or north.

Zihu's eyes glanced to the east and southeast, where Zhao's Hanoi army and Shangdang army were stationed respectively, not to mention military soldiers, compared to Dongyang and Taiyuan, the county soldiers in these two places were relatively weak, and their training and combat experience were relatively insufficient.

Even their array was loose and chaotic, and the distance between the two armies was too great.

This is an extremely obvious flaw, do you want to attack there? This thought flashed through Zihu's heart, but then an alert voice sounded instantly.

"Circumference three que one!"

The formation that Zhao Jun had laid out in Shaoliang was once again set up in Fenglingdu......

Zihu can't forget the embarrassment that he once led the army to break through in Shaoliang, but he ran headlong into the copper wall!

To the east and southeast, it must be a trap!

His eyes couldn't help but look to the northeast.

Where Zhao Wuxian's Xuanniao banner is located! It is guarded by the Yecheng Duyi soldiers and his Yulin army, but if the coalition forces attack with all their might, they may have a few chances of victory.

Zihu made up his mind: "The whole army will attack together and break through to the northeast, even if you can't behead it first!" also try to put Zhao Wuxian in danger, so as to tear apart the Zhao army's formation......"
