Chapter 794: Barriers

Behind Changping Village, under the thick cloudy sky, is a gentle uphill road, where the tidal flat reeds of Danshui stop. As the edge of the Shangdang Mountains, the farmland here was already scarce, and after the war, the abandoned fields were almost completely degraded into grassland, and the withered yellow reeds about the height of a person could not be seen at a glance.

Suddenly, countless hemp shoes hurriedly stepped over it, and Tian Ben trotted all the way with the light soldiers who had been "defeated" from Changping Village, and the light soldiers were good at moving forward on foot, and in the mountains, they were even faster than the formed cavalry, so they kept chasing the rear, intending to hang the enemy troops who annihilated them here at a distance not far away.

Their goal was the "Hansan", a hill hundreds of feet above the ground as far as the eye could see, and it is said that the Han Turks stationed troops here in the past when they conquered the Chidi Luzi Kingdom here.

Hundreds of paces away, the detachment of the carp was in pursuit, for the enemy in front of him looked tired and seemed to be able to bite with a little more effort.

Although Shi Qi was brave, his strategy was not enough, and he didn't think of the key point: if the Zhao army was really defeated, the direction of their defeat should be the Hyun clan in the southeast, which was where the base camp was located and where the baggage was stored, and only this direction could withdraw from the Danshui Valley to the eldest son.

But now, the defeat of the Zhao army to a dead end in Hanshan, obviously has a lot of articles, if a veteran who is well versed in the military, he should be able to fight steadily after repelling Tian Benbu, and make a decision after finding out the situation, but Zhao Jun's defeat and retreat in the eyes of Shi Kun is obviously the result of panic.

Shi Kun is bent on annihilating the Zhao army in front of him, in the past three months, Tian Ben has been stationed opposite him, every time he scolds the battle, these light soldiers composed of light heroes and evil boys spew out the most ugly words, if it weren't for Zhiyao's strict order not to attack rashly, he would have been unable to help but come to teach this army without the spirit of nobility, so at this moment, he led his men to chase closely, and the frontal battlefield was naturally solved by the main forces of each family, he only needed to annihilate Tian Ben, this Zhao Wuxian's fierce general here, and greatly frustrated the opponent's spirit, even if the strategic task was completed.

So he followed Zhao Jun and began to go uphill, it seemed that as long as the Shi Carp gradually advanced, the Zhao Army, which had no way out, would be wiped out after reaching the halfway point of the mountain, but as time went on, the originally enthusiastic Shi Carp suddenly realized that he was chasing too deeply.

As soon as they turned around, they had already crossed Changping Village, chased a full two miles, the Danshui line, their own army was like a trident, divided into three arrays to cross the water, and began to slowly attack the east bank, and the wolf smoke of Zhao Junhun's Yi became thicker and thicker, from here, there were soldiers gathering from everywhere, gathering in Hyun's clan, and then setting off.

"The Zhao army is orderly, not like a panic after a sudden setback, completely different from the remnants of the army in front of him......"

He is located at the western foot of Hanshan Mountain, so many key things cannot be seen, but perhaps out of the instinct of being a general, Shi Kun suddenly realizes that he is in danger!

However, at this time, it was too late to turn back, and suddenly, more than a thousand Zhao soldiers who were fleeing in front of them suddenly separated to both sides like waves, and several huge logs rolled down from the path!

……

"Major General! Shi Sima pursued Zhao Jun to Hanshan! ”

"This carp! He was praised for his courage before, why is he so aggressive! Let him return quickly and protect Liang Ying's father and Fan's flanks. ”

Zhi Yao was so angry that he whipped his whip hard, and his arms sometimes didn't listen to the command of his brain, and he liked to do things on his own, especially because they were only allies with the Zhi clan, not under his retainers.

In the final analysis, it is still their Zhi's own army that is reliable, Zhiyao is in the middle army of the three armies at the moment, and the Danshui is very shallow, so he can come over directly, although it is not very comfortable to wet his shoes, and he may get foot disease if he is bored for another day, but at this time he can't manage so much.

He commanded the army to continue to advance, and the Zhao army's rudimentary riverside position also looked caught off guard, probably not expecting the Jin army to dare to attack out of disadvantage, just like what happened in Changping Village, where the guards were also defeated and fled. They retreated to the second line of defense one mile away from Danshui, Zhiyao asked people to build a wall along the west bank of Danshui to defend, and the Zhao family also did the same, anyway, the soldiers were idle, and for three months, on the east and west banks, the two earth-colored earth and stone walls have been silently facing each other.

With the simultaneous advance of the three Jin armies, the Zhao army fortress is close at hand.

This is the case on the side of the Chinese army, but what about the two wings? Zhi Yao turned his head to look north, although Shi Qiu's advance, the forward of 3,000 people is now entangled by the Zhao army on the halfway of Hanshan, and they can't advance or retreat, but Liang Yingfu and Fan Gaoyi have come over with an army of 10,000, and the pace is slightly ahead of the Chinese army, and they can take over the Shi Kui department at any time, so there is no need to worry about the north.

He turned his head to the south again, Wei Ju's movements were also faster than the Chinese army, those who copied the equipment of the Zhao army "Wei Wushu" was the main force of the battle, wearing heavy armor, carrying thick oars, and some even used crossbows - this kind of new weapons originated in the Chu State, shining in the hands of the Zhao army in recent years, and gradually being learned and accepted by the princes and doctors, and there were even cavalry in the Wei army, but only scattered scouts.

The entire combat system is still outflanked by both wings, and the old trick of the Chinese army is a bit like the fighting style of the Chu army in the Battle of Yi, but this time, the key is three words, fast, accurate, and ruthless!

As he got closer and closer to the second line of defense of the Zhao army, Zhiyao asked Yu Rang to come over.

"Do you know what we might face in a moment? In addition to the tough warriors and elusive cavalry, the Zhao clan is most famous for the ingenuity they used in Chaoge and Wenshui, which has been rumored to be miraculous in the past two years, but according to the spies who came back from Chaoge, it is actually not so mysterious, but it is a sharp weapon that can send stones up to 200 steps, and when you reach 200 steps, you will charge with the dead soldiers composed of retainers, and find a way to cross the low earthen fortress, so that the Zhao army can not continue to send stones. ”

Yu Rang nodded: "Yui!" The minister must live up to the king's expectations. ”

"Go down and prepare, the victory or defeat is in one move, you must not be like the Qi army, and the morale of the army is disturbed by stone tools."

Half a moment later, they arrived at more than 300 steps outside the Zhao army's defense line, with a whistling, the guards on the Zhao defense line began to fire stone projectiles, more than ten pounds of stones were ejected from there, drawing a parabola with a large angle, falling in front of Zhiyao's Chinese army, smashing a small pit on the ground, this is just a test shot.

Seeing the terrifying flying stone, everyone subconsciously touched their foreheads, already covered with cold sweat. Although no one was stoned to death, not only the soldiers of the Zhi clan were a little panicked, but even Zhi Yao vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this, but he couldn't say what was wrong......

At this moment, a scout drove the cart and hurriedly came over to report: "Young General, Doctor Liang asked the villain to pass the word, Shi Sima was ambushed in Hanshan, should you go to the rescue, or continue to advance?" ”

"What!?" Zhi Yao stood on tiptoe in the car and looked at Han Mountain, which was a few miles away, he couldn't see the details clearly, and he couldn't even tell the difference between the people and the grass and trees on the mountain, he could only see the mess over there, and the two armies wearing different colors of clothing were fighting together, and it was difficult to separate.

The scout recounted: "Shi Sima was attacked by a giant tree on the hillside, and when he retreated down the mountain, he was confronted by two armies of 1,000 men, probably from the back of Han Mountain......

"Zhao Wuxian left an ambush on the back of that mountain? Or maybe it's a coincidence, a coincidence that just happened......" Zhiyao gritted his teeth, this is a question that takes time to think about, but now he has no time to think about it anymore.

Because of hesitation, the army in the north came to a standstill, unable to keep up with the footsteps of the Chinese army, and had been pulled away by dozens of paces. To the south, Wei was also waiting for the Chinese army's flag to wave before launching an attack, and Yu Rang had already gathered the dead soldiers, ready to brave the enemy's stone bullets and arrows to start attacking the low earthen defense line.

There was no time to hesitate, Zhi Yao ordered: "Let Liang and Fan send two thousand people to answer, listen to my drums, Yu Rang led the dead soldiers to rush first, and the rest of the people continued to advance to within a hundred steps and then charged, the flag officer, wave the banner, please Wei Clan cooperate with Yu Rang, and start attacking the southern section of the enemy base!" ”

Zhi Yao knew in his heart that he only needed to break through this line of defense before the Hyun Clan's reinforcements arrived, and he could occupy the open land by the Danshui River, compress Zhao Wuxian's battle line, and make them lose the space for a counterattack, and finally be forced into Hyun Clan's Yi to squeeze to death, or force out of this basin and be defeated on the path to retreat to the eldest son!

But as a general, you can't just think about winning and not worrying about losing. Zhi Yao has a plan in his heart, the family background of the Zhi clan cannot all be set up here, if the attack fails, then he can only abandon the forward Shi Kui, and even Liang, Fan and Wei as backs. Ensure that the soldiers of the Zhi clan, under the leadership of his cousin Zhiguo, retreat to the west of Danshui and withdraw to Xinjiang, leaving a little fire for the preservation of the family......

As for him?

Zhiyao held the drum vertebrae, felt the roughness of the wooden handle on it, and looked at the army marching towards a goal under his command, and a conceited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He told Yu Rang and other retainers frankly that if he was defeated, he would be bloodied to the end with his subordinates, and be one of the thousands of dry bones on the battlefield, how could he just talk about it? (To be continued.) )
