Battle of Changping Chapter 074 The scout passed on the bad news again

I saw that the barrier was as high as three zhang and extremely heavy, almost integrated with the Light Wolf City.

Above the city towers and barriers, countless black-clothed Qin soldiers happened to be looking at the Zhao army scouts who were stopping and watching in front of them.

"His mother!" A group of Zhao Jun's scouts looked at the black oppressive barrier in front of them and scolded angrily.

The summer sun is hot, but the scout of Zhao Jun, who has been galloping for a long time, only feels at this time, "Are we going in the wrong direction, are we here at the Danshui barrier!?" The scouts still couldn't believe what they were seeing, imagining that they had gone in the wrong direction, in front of the West Bank fortress they had occupied.

However, under the fierce afternoon sun, the ink-colored military flags waving in the wind ruthlessly shattered all their illusions - this is the Light Wolf City, the Light Wolf City where the Qin army is located!

When did the Qin army also build such a majestic barrier in the Light Wolf City, even if it was compared to the barrier on the west bank of Danshui, it was not much better!

How many days have there been such great deeds?

Apparently impossible.

The only explanation is that the Qin army has been prepared for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun's scouts couldn't help but feel that their throats were dry and their backs were cold!

Although it was early afternoon, and the summer sun was at its hottest; Although they had only just rushed here, the war horses under their crotches were panting; Albeit......

The first to react from shock and disbelief was the leader of the scouts, Captain (the scouts belong to the elite, and although they have the same strength, their official rank is half a level to one level higher than that of ordinary soldiers).

"Wu Qi, your team will stay behind to monitor the movements of the Qin army, and try to find out the strength of the defensive forces of the barrier as much as possible." The captain immediately set about arranging it, he knew that the Qin army on the wall would not give him too much time.

Hearing this, the commander of the Zhao Army, who was ordered to be a general, looked at the captain with some embarrassment, as if to say: "Such a long barrier, how can you check?" ”

The rest of the men quickly returned to camp. In order to avoid the interception of the Qin army, the soldiers divided into three routes and returned separately, remember that no matter what happens behind the scenes, do not hesitate, do not turn back, and be sure to transmit the news of the barrier back to the Chinese army in the shortest possible time! Please make a decision as soon as possible! Ignoring the embarrassed Tun Commander Wu, the leader continued to instruct his scouts.

Listening to the words of the Scout Captain, the scouts finally understood the importance of the information they had discovered.

However, just as the scouts turned their horses' heads, the black, monster-like barrier opened first, and several small doors suddenly opened, and a group of black-clothed cavalry followed by a group suddenly came out of the door of the black hole, as if reflecting the words of the leader, and came straight towards the scout headquarters of the Zhao army.

"Wu head, the speed department is along the north and south directions to investigate the length of the barrier! The rest of the people, led by their respective commanders, returned to the camp quickly! The leader of the captain in a hurry didn't care about more, and directly called out the nickname of the head surnamed Wu.

The scouts are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and when they see the city gate in front of them open, where do they know the current situation.

Immediately, they turned their horses' heads and ran towards the main force on the march where Zhao Kuo was. They know very well that if they can let the general know about the existence of the barrier a moment earlier, the general will have more time to think, the army will be able to take a less unjust road, and perhaps have a better chance of winning.

Before they had time to think about it, the scouts immediately took their orders and left under the leadership of their respective commanders.

In an instant, only the leader and his men and horses were still in place.

The leader of the scouts turned his horse's head and said to his soldiers: "Gentlemen, the front barrier is not a day's work, our army has become a turtle in an urn on the west bank, and my scout battalion failed to detect the Qin army's barrier in time, and the army fell into such a dangerous place, and we are all dead and cannot atone for the sin!" Now the Qin army is brave, if it is allowed to pursue, I am afraid that it will not be able to deliver the information to the general in time! ”

As he spoke, the leader drew his sword and continued: "For today's plan, only we can stop the pursuing Qin army and buy a moment for our comrades!" to atone for the sins of the camp of my scouts. ”

The leader turned his horse's head again, pointed his sword forward, and shouted, "Gentlemen, who will die with me!" ”

Zheng, Zheng, Zheng...... A sword is unsheathed!

"I'm willing!"

"I'm willing!"

The sound of death resounded through the heavens and the earth......

"Target Qin Army Cavalry, Scout Battalion, Wild Goose Formation!" The leader roared again.

It is well known that cavalry storms on a large scale are generally carried out in conical formations. The army has a triangular cone, and the sharper the tip, the easier it is to pierce the enemy. The use of such a formation is obviously able to cut through the enemy's front at the minimum cost, and then give the enemy the greatest damage.

The geese marching array, as the name suggests, is like the flying geese, showing an irregular semicircle, because they share the wind resistance, they can save physical strength to the greatest extent, and are generally used in the march, used in the battle, and will be used when the troops are sufficient and ready to form a roundabout outflanking the enemy.

But at this time, the scout headquarters was only a hundred people, and it was obviously neither on a peaceful march, nor was it preparing to encircle the Qin army. Even the scout troops left by the Zhao army were significantly less than the Qin army that went out of the city, and in such a situation, the use of a goose-shaped formation was tantamount to self-destruction!

Of course, the Scout Lieutenant did not give the wrong order.

Because in addition to marching and encircling, the geese marching array also has one of the biggest advantages - in the case of limited numbers, it can control the drunken attack surface. The Zhao army had no choice, they could not let the Qin army divide their forces to pursue their robes, so the goose-shaped array was the best choice - to exchange their lives for the Qin army's short moment of stagnation and as many casualties as possible.

Without thinking or hesitating, the soldiers of the scout battalion quickly blindfolded their horses, and spontaneously formed a combination of two and two according to the leader's order, and then formed a goose-shaped formation together.

"Scout battalion, target Qin cavalry, attack!" The leader led the charge and shouted.

"Kill!" The rest of the scouts also followed suit, and they came out one after another!

In just an instant, before the barrier of Light Wolf City, the collision between the main forces of the Zhao army officially started.

Although the Zhao army was only one hundred and ten people, it burst out with a momentum that did not match it at all, and in an instant, a deafening shout of killing resounded in front of the Qin army's fortress.

Seeing this, the cavalry of the Qin army was not false at all. Although there are only 3,000 cavalry under his command in the city, this is already several times the number of scout troops in front of him, not to mention that there are only a hundred people killed by him, and all his soldiers are almost ten times that of the Zhao army.

"Kill!" The cavalry general of the Qin army also roared.
