Water Attack!

Water and fire have always been the most ruthless, the fire attacker is clear, and the water attacker is strong. When the allied forces of Yan, Zhao and Qi set up camp at that time, considering the danger of water cut-off, they camped on the banks of the river. Moreover, such an advantage is that it is convenient to retreat even if the offensive is unfavorable. As for the possible water attack of the Qin army, Lian Po had already sent people to observe the water potential of Luoshui day and night. If the Qin army wants to break the river embankment and flood the coalition army, it will inevitably be detected by the coalition army at the first time.

But with the heavy rain repeatedly, the soldiers who were sent to observe the water potential of Luoshui helplessly found that every line of Luoshui was skyrocketing. Fortunately, the camp selected by the coalition forces is relatively high around, and they will not worry about being flooded by the river for a while, and a mile of land can be regarded as a safe distance. With the attitude that more is better than less, these soldiers reported to Lian Po every day that they had found no signs that the Qin army wanted to attack with water.

Indeed, according to the logic of ordinary people, the rain of more than eight or nine hours a day has already made the ground extremely slippery. Normal people would not do the stupid thing of digging a river embankment, after all, it is not a thankless effort. It is said that it is laborious, because trying to dig up the muddy ground must be half the effort. It is not flattering to say that the terrain of the Qin army camp is not much higher than that of the coalition army at all. If you are not careful, the Qin army will suffer if you can't attack it!

However, the Qin army did the opposite, and under the cover of heavy rain and night, they dug up a low-lying land, and the excavated soil was used to build a dike. The levee is not high, but it is enough to allow the excavated Luoshui to rush all the way south, instead of wandering in all directions along the margins.

The white line that Lian Po saw was the picture of Luoshui rushing south after the embankment burst. The river that burst its banks was like a wild horse that had escaped from the bridle and became out of control. The distance of three or four miles flashed by, and the panicked coalition forces desperately tried to find a high ground to avoid the water, but where was the absolute high ground around! Almost as soon as Luoshui poured into the camp, the coalition forces were in chaos. The landlubbers, in particular, fled for their lives in the same direction as the river. But no matter how fast people are. How can it compare to the water of the river that bursts its banks. Without exception, they were knocked to the ground, and many struggled and never got up again.

Lian Po quickly calmed down, and the 90,000-strong army was completely lost due to the sudden "flood", and the entire camp was in chaos. Qi is better, and there are a lot of swimmers. But the soldiers of Zhao and Yan were completely ignorant of water. No wonder the panicked. But although Lian Po understands it, it doesn't mean that he can be forgiven, since Bai Qi has adopted the water attack, he must have a follow-up plan. If this chaos continues, if the Qin army is not used, the coalition army will collapse first.

"Pass on my general's order, and promise that those who dare to run away will be killed!" Lian Po pressed the long sword at his waist and said in a deep voice.

The flood washed away many tents and food, and many panicked soldiers were swept away by the flood. Lian Po's order is not close to human feelings. But Tian Dan and Rong soon realized that this was the best way to go. Immediately, he did not hesitate to send his own personal soldiers to maintain order.

Under the threat of flooding, blood is the most calming thing for a panicked soldier. Lian Po, Tian Dan, and Rong Hao's personal soldiers attacked from all sides, ordering all the soldiers not to move around and to stand by in place. For those who do not obey orders, they will not persuade them a second time at all, but immediately shoot or kill them!

The two guards held the heavy war drums together, and Lian Po personally beat the drums to cheer. Coupled with the constant waving of the command flag from the tent of the Chinese army, Tian Dan made people spread the high ground under their feet. After the flood peak passed, the river would definitely not rise again, and the coalition forces finally stabilized. Sure enough, after half an hour, the river finally stopped rising but slowly declined, and then the water finally stabilized. But there are also waist-deep.

And the original 90,000 army was only 80,000 left - only 12,000 people left in the Qi army, only 10,000 people left in the Yan army, and only 58,000 people left in the Zhao army. Looking at the messy camp, Rong Yi only felt that he wanted to cry without tears, just half an hour's effort. He lost 5,000 elites. Before that, after two months of confrontation with the Qin army, he only lost 15,000 people, okay! The losses of the Zhao army were comparable to those of the Yan army. In comparison, the losses of the Qi army were much smaller, except for more than a hundred unlucky ghosts who were swept away, the others were unscathed. But seeing that Yan Zhao's army suffered such heavy losses, it was inevitable that the rabbit would die and the fox would feel sad!

"General! Oh no! The Qin army has attacked! One of Lian Po's guards pointed to the black dot that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and said in a panic.

Lian Po looked at it, but no, the three or five people of the Qin army took a small boat and swayed towards the camp. The coalition forces did not think that the Qin army came to save the dead and help the wounded under the banner of humanitarianism. As the initiator, hundreds of heavily armed boats carried more than a thousand Qin troops, and their purpose was obvious - that is, to send themselves into the water to feed Wang Ba!

Soon, the Qin army offered their enthusiasm. They stopped at a distance of seventy or eighty paces from the coalition forces, and then greeted the Yan Zhao Qi army dozens of times their size with crossbow arrows. The Coalition's dilemma was that their bows and arrows had just been soaked in water, and had completely lost their former crosshairs and range. Therefore, the Qin army was completely comfortable shooting the soldiers of the coalition army. The coalition forces were completely in a situation of being beaten passively.

More than 1,000 Qin troops were indeed nothing compared to 80,000 allied troops, but the one-sided slaughter was enough to make these more than 1,000 Qin troops turn into demons from hell. Of course, the coalition forces will not sit still, but whenever the coalition forces try to get close to the Qin army, the Qin army will always row the boat farther. Waist-deep water was enough to limit the speed of the coalition army's sprint, especially in the muddy ground underwater, and if you were not careful, you could even get stuck in it. Whenever the coalition forces were about to give up the meaningless pursuit, the Qin army would approach again and shoot the coalition troops step by step, which made the coalition army annoying.

"General Lian! We can't go on like this! The ground under the water is getting muddy and muddy, and if you soak it any longer, it will be a quagmire that can trap people to death. Let's rush ashore! Rong Worm shouted.

"Yes! This water is too cold! It will greatly consume our body! Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the shore, it is better than being played with like cats and mice by these more than 1,000 Qin troops! Checkmate! I can only fight! ”

Lian Po's brows furrowed even deeper, and Bai Qi obviously forced his side to a dead end. Whether to die in waist-deep water or die in battle is a real question.

With a heartbeat, Lian Po shouted loudly: "Our military rations have all been lost!" Rather than die in the water, it is better to go ashore and fight! We want to let the Qin dogs know. You can want our lives, but you must trade them for their lives! Soldiers, come ashore with me to kill the enemy! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! War! War! War! The surrounding soldiers shouted with all their might.

The coalition soldiers farther away had long been fed up with such a passive situation, and they also shouted at the top of their voices: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! War! War! War! "The food route has been cut off, and the coalition forces will either defeat the enemy in front of them and survive! Either you die with the enemy! As long as the main general has no intention of surrendering, the non-commissioned officers of the coalition will never have the idea of surrendering!

Wu Anjun looked at the Yan, Zhao and Qi coalition forces who were wading in the water. He smiled smugly. This rainstorm came too timely, it was simply God helping Daqin! Now the coalition forces have lost most of their military rations, and without them, they are grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't reach it for a few days! Even if they don't send troops to attack them, they will starve to death.

The two or five hundred lords who had been sent to harass the coalition forces by boat were the first to return, and as soon as they saw Bai Qi, they said, "General! The alliance forces of the Three Kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi suffered heavy losses! The last general made a cursory observation, and at least nearly 10,000 coalition troops were swept away by the flood! Most of the grain and grass were lost, and a few were soaked in water. It doesn't last a few days. Now the coalition forces are violent, and they want to do the act of trapping the beast. The last general is willing to be the vanguard and kill the enemy's spirit! ”

Bai Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You did a good job just now!" It's a credit to be able to lure Lian Po's army out! However, the coalition forces are now cut off from food and grass, fighting against the water, and the fighting spirit is strong! Ben didn't want to fulfill them! ”

The two or five hundred lords were stunned, and they had nearly 160,000 troops. It is twice the size of the alliance of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi. With two against one, plus the combat power of the Qin army. Once engaged, the Qin army was completely overwhelming. In this case, how could Bai Qi avoid engaging the enemy army?!

Bai Qi looked at the general Zuo beside him and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the Cao Di debate?" The defeat of the invincible Qi State in a battle by the Lu State relied on the flexible use of the principle of one drum and then three declines and exhaustion! Don't look at the enemy army, as long as we hold them back for a few hours. Their morale is bound to decline! When the time comes, they will be hungry and cold, and they will die except to surrender! Wouldn't it be better for you to go out and kill the enemy then? ”

After speaking, Bai Qi's face changed, and he said to the deputy general beside him: "Pass my order, line up!" ”

"Array!" "Array!" One after another, shouts resounded on the banks of the Luoshui River.

The Zhao army, which rushed to the front, quickly discovered the intention of the Qin army—that is, to form a phalanx to deplete their own morale, and wait for their own morale to fail. The Qin army counterattacked again, which was simply a multiplier effect with half the effort! Moreover, the Qin army has 160,000! The last thing they are afraid of is to fight with their own time! Anyway, they have plenty of food and grass, and the longer it takes, the more difficult it will be for the coalition forces. For a lone army that has lost its grain and grass, lost its baggage, and lost its backup, dying on the battlefield has become the only choice!

Zhao Jun took the lead in launching a desperate charge! The leading Captain Zhao understands the purpose of the Qin army, no matter whether the Qin army takes the initiative to attack or slowly consumes, he can only choose to charge! Especially for someone like himself who is taking the lead, the most important duty is to break through the formation of the Qin army, even if he advances dozens of steps, it is a great encouragement to the robe in the rear.

At this moment of crisis, no matter how stupid Lian Po is, he will not throw the 80,000 troops in his hand at one time! Fortunately, the vicinity of the battle was full of mountains and forests, and although the Qin army had 160,000 troops, it could not be deployed at once. Even if the entire army is paved with the road, it is only worthy of a phalanx of more than 10,000 people. Lian Po could only hope that before the last phalanx was put into action, the Qin army would take the initiative to withdraw due to the changes in Xianyang or Zhao Hao's reinforcements would come earlier.

One side is for victory, the other side is for survival! The Qin and Zhao armies in the world have launched a fierce battle! Human life became completely worthless at this time, and the soldiers on both sides handed over their weapons viciously, arbitrarily harvesting human lives or sacrificing their own lives. There is no grievance, no grievance, only the roar of death! Zhao Jun knew that if he could not annihilate the enemy in front of him, they would die in a foreign land and become lonely ghosts. The Qin army knew that as long as they held out for a few hours, they could unscrupulously enter the phalanx of the coalition army and seize a lot of military merits. What military merit is, it is money, land and beauty, it is status!

None of the parties will choose to retreat, and at such moments, retreat means death. Although Zhao Jun had just rushed out of waist-deep water, and although they were hungry and thirsty, the desire for life suppressed all panic. The bloody nature of Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry and archery has made them successful, and the record of repeated victories in previous years has inspired them, and the Qin people are not invincible. As long as they are willing, they can fight and win, even against the sharps!

It's just 160,000 Qin troops, as long as you kill two people before you die, wouldn't the strength of the two sides be the same?! This is what Zhao Jun really thinks. Zhao Jun with such thoughts is indeed terrifying, at least for a short time, Zhao Jun actually has the upper hand. After only two quarters of an hour of fighting, the Qin army lost 3,000 men, and the Zhao army was slightly less, but there were more than 2,000 men. Everyone knew that even if the Qin army formation in front of them was broken, there would be fifteen such phalanxes behind. This road is to win in danger, and if it is opened, it is a broad road, and if it is not opened, it is the road to the Yellow Springs that leads to hell. (To be continued......)
