Chapter 129: Pursuing the Qin Army (I)

"Wow!"

Although Zhao Xuan's body lost its balance and fell, it also dodged the blow of the flaming sun, and the halberd of the flaming sun stabbed an abandoned chariot behind Zhao Xuan, and the chariot was actually twisted to pieces by the powerful rotating current under the blow of the thunder shock, becoming a pile of broken wood.

Zhao Xuan was also taken aback, he didn't expect the power of this blow to be so huge, although this was an abandoned chariot, but it was only missing a wheel, and the main body of the vehicle was not greatly damaged, many places where the structure was built, and it was reinforced with bronze sheets, which was still very strong, but it was completely destroyed by the blow of the flaming sun. Therefore, the power of Flaming Sun's blow is indeed far greater than the challenge car he just had.

Huo Lieyang handed Lei Zhen into one hand, pointed at Zhao Xuan obliquely, nodded approvingly, and said, "Yes, the first time I faced my Lei Zhen, it was very good to be able to dodge, but ......"

As he was talking, he only heard a burst of dense footsteps turning from far and near, and it turned out that the fight between the two just now had alarmed the surrounding Zhao soldiers, so they all rushed over.

Huo Blazing Yang had Zhao Bing rush over to see him, and immediately took back Lei Zhen, and said: "That's all for today's battle, you have seen the power of Lei Zhen, three days later, I will wait for you in the forest in front of me, hoping to be able to compete with you without any interference, but whether you come or not is up to you, or if you are not at ease, you can also bring a few helpers." With that, Flaming Sun shook his cloak and turned to stride away.

At this time, Zhao Bing also rushed over, although Zhao Xuan's reputation outside was not good, but among Zhao Jun, almost everyone knew him, because he was actually Li Mu's guard, almost inseparable from Li Mu, and it was difficult for other Zhao soldiers not to know him. Therefore, when they saw him here, they all hurried up to surround Long, and someone said: "General Zhao, you are fine." ”

Zhao Xuan stood up from the ground, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine." ”

There was a Zhao soldier pointing to the back of the flaming sun and said, "General Zhao, who is that Qin soldier?" We chased him and grabbed him. ”

Zhao Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need, he's just a person, even if he lets him run, it's not a big deal, let's control Dazhai first." ”

When the other soldiers heard him say this, they all felt justified, so they didn't chase after the flaming sun, and scattered to attack the other remaining Qin soldiers. And Zhao Xuan looked at the back of the flaming sun that had gradually disappeared, and also nodded, and said to himself: "Three days later, in the small forest in front of you......"

―――――――― the dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― just when Zhao Xuan and Huo Lieyang were fighting, Gao Yuan also led a cavalry army and launched a pursuit of the retreating Qin army.

Although the Qin army is in retreat, but under the command of Wang Jian and others, it is very orderly, Wang Jian sent the general Qiang Diao to command the broken Hou, Qiang Diao divided the broken Qin army into two branches, and fought and retreated, taking turns to retreat in turn, covering the retreat of the army, and also left a large number of chariots in the broken army, put them behind, the Qin soldiers on the car kept shooting arrows backwards, and sometimes hit the Zhao army a counterattack. Therefore, in the process of pursuit, the Zhao army did not take much advantage.

However, after Gao Yuan led the cavalry to catch up, he immediately changed the tactics of pursuit, and instead of following behind the Qin army, he bypassed a big bend and attacked from the flank of the Qin army. Adopt the tactic of chasing and fleeing the waist.

This work really worked, and the Qin army was immediately forced to scramble. Because in the retreat of the army, the weakest link is not actually in the tail, but on the flanks. Although Wang Jian arranged the broken army, there was an obvious fault between the broken army and the brigade, which gave the Zhao army an opportunity, and of course the plateau would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately led the cavalry to launch an attack on this fault, and inserted it from the side of the Qin army, completely cutting off the Qin army's broken strength and brigade, and then the other pursuing Zhao troops swarmed up, and immediately cut off the more than five or six thousand Qin troops after the break.

The army of the Zhao army pursuing the Qin army has about 30,000 troops, including more than 500 chariots, and more than 15,000 cavalry. After all, the main goal of pursuing the Qin army was not to annihilate the Qin army, but to drive the Qin army as far away as possible, so that the Zhao army could firmly occupy the Qin army's Dazhai.

Therefore, Sima Shang, the chief general of the Zhao army, who was responsible for commanding the pursuit, also immediately ordered Gao Yuan to lead his subordinates with 3,000 cavalry and 300 chariots to symbolically pursue the Qin army, and at the same time to prevent other Qin troops from coming back, while the rest of the army immediately surrounded this part of the Qin army and must be completely annihilated.

By the time Wang Jian and others found out that a Qin army had been cut off by the Zhao army, it was too late, and the backward Qin army had been completely surrounded by the Zhao army, and Qiang Diao was also among the Qin army.

Li Xin said: "General, let me take a group of men and horses and go back to rescue this Qin army." ”

Wang Jian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "It's useless, this Qin army can't be saved." Wang Jian knew very well in his heart that this Qin army was finished, because if he sent an army to rescue him, he would only fall deeper and deeper, and he would fall into the hands of the Zhao army. Although Wang Jian didn't want to leave a Qin army behind, as the chief general of the whole army, Wang Jian had to consider the interests of the army, and the army of the situation could only give up when it was time to give up, so instead of sending an army to rescue this Qin army, it was better to take advantage of this time to evacuate the army to a safe place.

But at this moment, I saw a small group of Qin troops suddenly killed from the oblique stab, and rushed towards the Zhao army that surrounded the Qin army.

Wang Jian couldn't help but be taken aback, because the number of the Qin army that killed the encirclement of the Zhao army was not large, only seven or eight chariots, and there were about more than 200 soldiers on both sides, and with more than 200 soldiers, they wanted to kill back and rescue the trapped Qin army, and they didn't know whether this Qin army should be brave or stupid?

Because the number of this Qin army was not large, Gao Yuan didn't care too much, and at the same time, he was also worried that there would be a large group of Qin troops coming back to rescue, so he didn't intercept it, and directly let this Qin army go.

But no one thought that although the number of this Qin army was small, it was extremely brave, and after the kill, it broke into the encirclement of the Zhao army at once, and after a while, it led the besieged Qin army out of the encirclement of the Zhao army. The first was still the Qin army that rushed into the encirclement of the Zhao army, and the Zhao army couldn't resist at all, and was killed by the Qin army and fell to the ground one after another, and the queue was separated like a wave of water.

When Gao Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he couldn't imagine that only more than 300 Qin soldiers would have such a strong combat effectiveness, so he didn't care about the defeated army that contained the Qin army, and immediately led the cavalry to turn back and rush forward.

At the forefront of the Qin army were five chariots, arranged in an arrow-shaped pattern. Dozens of Zhao cavalry who rushed to the forefront raised their bows and arrows one after another, shooting at the chariots of the Qin army, and at the same time, on the left and right flanks, dozens of Zhao cavalry outflanked them, which was the usual tactic of the Zhao army to deal with chariots.

As the first batch of bows and arrows of the Zhao army were fired, the five chariots of the Qin army all had arrows from the horses that pulled the carts, and some of the five chariots overturned and some slowed down. But at this moment, all five Qin soldiers jumped up from the chariot, and none of them fell to the ground due to the overturning of the chariot.

And on the first chariot, the two Qin soldiers on the left and right each held a halberd, and the middle one was originally the king of the chariot, using a broadsword nearly seven feet long, running like the wind in the air, shooting down the arrows that came one after another, after the three people landed, the cavalry of the Zhao army also rushed up, and the three of them each held a weapon, and they rushed up against the cavalry.

Although the horses of this era were imperfect, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was far less strong than that of the later ones, the infantry had to fight head-on with the cavalry, and most of them were lost, after all, the cavalry had an extra war horse, and the impact was not trivial. What's more, at this time, there were only three Qin soldiers, but there were nearly twenty cavalry of the Zhao army who rushed up, so it can be said that under normal circumstances, only one charge was needed to trample these three Qin soldiers to death.

But this time there was an accident, I saw that the Qin general with a broadsword in his hand faced the cavalry rushing towards him, advanced a few steps, his body bent, dodged the spear that stabbed him, held the broadsword with both hands, and suddenly swung it up from the bottom of the horse's neck, only to hear a horse neighing, this sword was even the horse and the person, cut it into two together, only to see blood splashed out, the headless war horse also rushed forward with the knight who only had half of his body left, and rushed forward for a distance of six or seven meters, only to be weak, and fell to the ground in the front.

The power of this sword also shocked Zhao Bing, and the Qin soldier did not hesitate, waved his broadsword, and rushed towards the other Zhao soldiers, the sword light flashed out like a match, and the blood light burst out in the sword light, almost in the blink of an eye, four or five Zhao soldiers were killed by him. And the other two Qin soldiers beside him were not inferior, the two halberds were like dragons going out to sea, rolling up layers of black light, Zhao soldiers were killed to the point that people were overturned, and after a while, nearly twenty Zhao soldiers died under the swords and halberds of these three Qin soldiers.

Then the other Qin soldiers also followed, and with these three Qin generals rushed to the cavalry of the Zhao army, the two sides launched a burst of slashing, under the leadership of the three Qin generals, only the Zhao soldiers turned over and killed countless wounds.

And this Qin army is not only the first three Qin generals are extremely brave, the other soldiers are also extremely brave, the cavalry of the Zhao army, which showed strong combat effectiveness in the previous battle, was completely unable to block the impact of more than 100 infantry of the Qin army. After a while, he was rushed by the Qin army for half of the distance. The trapped Qin army followed closely behind them, and they were about to rush through the interception of the Zhao army's cavalry.
