Battle of Changping Chapter 057 Thirty Miles Road Strikes and Returns
If you have cavalry to charge into battle, I will use a spear phalanx to deal with it, the head of the spear is facing the sky, the tail of the spear is touching the ground, leaning on the shield, no matter how strong the impact of your cavalry is, my spear is like a forest, you can kill a few of my shield soldiers and a few spearmen, and my gun will also have to poke you through. Two or three infantry for one cavalry, blood earns well!
You use light cavalry to attack and disturb, I will use light cavalry to attack, although the number may be small or not as good as you, but the quality is not weak, after all, it is also practiced with the Huns. As for the number, it's not a decisive battle with you, and there is no need to rotate, this is a retreat, even if there are 100,000 light cavalry, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 who come to attack, and 20,000 or 30,000 people don't have it, the superior strength of the fart.
It was easy to wait for the follow-up foot soldiers to follow, and the Qin army here left a small group of Qin troops to carry out a stubborn resistance according to the selected geographical advantages to cover the withdrawal of the large army.
Although they followed the pursuit, the Zhao army's troops were never able to break through the Qin army's rearguard defense. Tens of thousands of elites of the Zhao army could only be like a blunt knife, scraping the minced flesh of the Qin army piece by piece.
If you want to say that it is completely useless, it is not, the fragments of the thirty-mile road have been knocked down, but they have also knocked down the tens of thousands of minced meat of the Qin army. Of course, this loss of ideas is simply not worth mentioning for Qin Jun.
Pursuit after pursuit, battle after battle, and then being thrown off by the Qin army who was not afraid of death at the cost of their lives, the Zhao army who participated in the war finally saw what it means to be an invincible Qin army.
In this way, seeing that the thirty-mile road was coming in an instant between the rotation of day and night, Zhao Kuo's military order was in front, and even if Sun Gu was unwilling, he had to order the whole army to stop.
The clanging sound of gold resounded throughout the battlefield, and countless Zhao cavalry who were galloping helplessly reined in their horses' heads, took a breath, and stopped on a flat ground, watching with hatred as the Qin army gradually moved away and disappeared into the valley not far ahead.
"Good luck for you!" The cavalry of the Zhao army spat on the ground, then turned their horses' heads and slowly returned to the rear camp.
It's just that what he didn't know was that in the valley not far away, a captain of the Qin army saw this scene, and he also spat fiercely towards the mountain road, and muttered words that were as unique as him - "Count you lucky." ”
As far as the eye can see, in the valley, beneath the verdant leaves, is a deep black. If you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that the pits and valleys are full of the elite of the Qin army.
That's right, the Qin army has already begun to set up an ambush here.
The failure to set up an ambush before was not because it was forgotten in vain, nor because the terrain was unfavorable, but because it was necessary to completely fish the Zhao army onto the west bank. After several days of pursuit, the journey spanned nearly thirty miles, and Bai Qi thought that it was time to give the Zhao army some excitement, otherwise, this retreat without resistance would be a bit too fake for the always elite Qin army.
It's a pity that the distance calculated by Bai Qi is also the distance calculated by Zhao Kuo, Lian Po and Tian Dan.
Thirty miles, more will be ambushed, less can not maximize benefits.
Because of Zhao Kuo's military order, Zhao's army stopped at the entrance of the Qin army's pocket array. It was obviously impossible to fight back, and even leaving immediately risked exposing the target, and in desperation, Qin's ambush army could only wait for dark, and then take advantage of the night to retreat abruptly.
And such an ambush failed, and Zhao Kuo's weight in Bai Qi's heart became heavier and heavier.
"So discreet?!" Bai Qi, who was already in the Light Wolf City, heard about the situation on the front line, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Perhaps, Zhao Kuo's people are not completely incompetent people. If I give some more time and learn more battlefield experience, I am afraid that it will be a great disaster for my Great Qin. ”
Unintentionally inserted between the willows, Zhao Kuo bewildered Bai Qi and established his "cautious" character, but also successfully aroused Bai Qi's homicidal heart.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, only God knows.
……
On the front line here, the scattered Zhao troops gradually gathered under the command of their own captains, thinking that the large camp was slowly concentrated, and Zhao Kuo in the rear was not idle, and came to the barrier on the west bank with a few personal soldiers.
However, the scene that Zhao Kuo saw was definitely not what he wanted to see.
Before the west bank barrier, the corpses of Qin and Zhao had been cleaned up, and the carriages and ox carts carrying grain and straw were endless, but in addition to the main road, the broken flags on the road were still discarded on the ground at will, the broken rutted carts were overturned on the side of the road, the arrows were inserted obliquely in the soil, the swords with handles were almost rusted in the blood, and the scattered Zhao troops were slowly and methodically "cleaning up" the battlefield.
Obviously, under the barriers, even the battlefield has not been cleaned.
This is true below the barriers, let alone above the barriers.
But Zhao Kuo still endured his anger and hurried to the top of the barrier, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, it makes Zhao Kuo angry with high blood pressure at a glance.
I saw that above the broken ramparts, the battlements that had been scorched by fire were mixed with broken arrows and broken knives, standing silently; Several huge gaps were still open, quietly waiting for the next attack to come; The few bed crossbows left by the Qin army are still scattered and piled up in the corners, silently moldy.
And the rolling wood and stones, gold juice arrows necessary for defending the city, there is no trace of them on the wall. A Zhao army, with only three or three twos and less than 5,000 people, was moving stones in an orderly manner, seemingly, as if, maybe repairing the barriers?
Zhao Kuo, who was standing at the head of the fortress, looked at the pitch-black barrier, and a wave of anger instantly ignited his entire chest. The whitish palm slapped fiercely on the battlements of the fortress, and his chest rose and fell sharply: Since taking charge of the army, no one has dared to give such perfunctory military orders, is it that he can't hold a knife, or Chen Zhang, you are floating, you really think you are a character!
Seeing this, the pro-soldiers on the side were all silent, bowing their heads and waiting for Zhao Kuo's next instructions.
In this situation, Zhao Kuo can't help but be angry! I am painstakingly lonely, trying every means to improve the probability of survival even the slightest. But I don't want to, the repair of the West Bank barrier, the important defensive place of my home, is so perfunctory, which is quite a bit of an open door to thieves.
In vain, Zhao Kuo still wanted to promote this Lieutenant Chen Zhang a little and arrange him in such an important position, but he didn't want him to deal with the tasks he arranged like this. Zhao Kuo has a bit of hatred for iron and steel, of course, this is also the sequelae of his lack of real henchmen.
Fortunately, I came here for a spot check temporarily, but it was delayed for a day, and now the remedy is still too late!
Of course, in fact, this is not all the problem of Lieutenant Chen Zhang, it is really Chen Zhang's hands that the troops are insufficient, and he obviously misunderstands the focus of his mission.
