For a moment, there was silence again in the military tent.

It was a desperate silence in the truest sense of the word. There were enemy troops in the east, west, north and south, and they were like a huge net trapping their 300,000 troops, including them.

At this point, the generals of the Zhao army finally understood that the battle of the barrier was simply a bait for the Qin army, a poisonous bait to lure them into the encirclement.

It's a pity that it's too late for me to understand.

Facing the huge sand table, the generals of the Zhao army seemed to have seen that countless black-clothed Qin troops were surrounding, dividing, and exhausting them layer by layer.

And himself, like a lamb to the slaughter, one counts as the other, and after all, he is separated by his corpse in painful despair, and his soul is scattered.

Looking at the generals present, who were drooping their heads, Zhao Kuo could understand their feelings very well.

A little sadness, a little remorse, and a little resentment towards himself as a general.

Although he knew that he had come to this point, he could not completely blame General Zhao Kuo, after all, the general was at least calm, and there was no command error, perhaps the other party was too strong.

Obviously, in the face of such a strong enemy, apart from being passively beaten, the generals of the Zhao army had no way at all. And the final result of being passively beaten can only be the annihilation of the whole army.

So, under the shadow of death, the atmosphere in the tent fell to freezing point in an instant.

But this is exactly the result that Zhao Kuo wants - put it to death, so that he can live in the future, the light in the dark night is the most eternal and bright, and people will only blindly obey in despair, and only people who are about to drown will grab everything around them at all costs, even if it is obviously a straw, even if they know that this straw is not enough to bear their weight. Zhao Kuo's next words and arrangements were the only light that pierced the night, and the only straw in the turbulent river.

The matter has come to this, no matter whether the road ahead is a cliff or a trap, the soldiers of the Zhao army can only follow this light and rush away; Regardless of whether this straw was strong or not, Zhao Jun could only stretch out his hands and try to probe the only hope.

"You don't have to be discouraged." Zhao Kuo saw that the time had come, so he immediately broke the silence and said, "Have you forgotten the fortress that my army has built along the way? ”

As soon as Zhao Kuo's words fell, it was like a sharp arrow that instantly pierced the heartstrings of the generals.

yes, how did you forget the fortress you built along the way!

With this fortress here, the Qin army wants to completely eat our army, and he has to pay a double price!

At that time, it was just that the general was marching step by step, worried about the temporary counterattack of the Qin army. Now it seems that the general had expected and planned this?

……

The generals are obviously all thorough people, and just by Zhao Kuo's words, countless pictures have been sketched in their hearts. Of course, this is also due to the desperate feelings foreshadowed earlier.

However, Zhao Kuo's many arrangements for him stopped at this fortress, and he did not intend to continue to explain his plan clearly. Whether it is the Tibetan army in Daliang Mountain, or Lian Po, who has already gone to Wei, Zhao Kuo does not intend to be exposed, at least not at this time.

In other words, Zhao Kuo can't reveal his full plan.

How can you say that you are all cannon fodder to attract the Qin army? Say I'm ready to sacrifice you in exchange for the victory of Zhao?

Obviously not, even if Zhao Kuo is in it, even if Zhao Kuo himself is a gamble, and he is also a so-called "cannon fodder", but the soldiers who have lost their minds will not listen to such words.

He needs to give the soldiers room for imagination and hope for life.

The phrase "fortress" is enough to give the generals infinite imagination, and imagination brings confidence and hope.

Seeing that all the generals present seemed to have gotten their own points, and their emotions gradually became excited, Zhao Kuo understood that it was time to take the opportunity to issue specific orders.

"Generals obey orders!" Zhao Kuofu walked to the main seat again.

"The last general!" The generals quickly lined up and said with their hands in fists.

"The battlefield is divided into three parts, two of which are defended, divided into the battle of the barrier and the battle of the southern defense, and the other is the decisive battle of the north.

The army of the barriers, with a total of 50,000 horses, was led by Xu Li, so that it resolutely resisted the army of the Qin army attacking the fortress and bought time for the decisive battle of our army. Within three days, if the barrier is not lost, it will be its merit, and if it is lost in three days, it will be seen by the head. After the three-day battle, you can break through on your own. Zhao Kuo said and pulled out a token on the case.

"Yes." A herald hurriedly appeared, took the token with both hands, and went out of the tent.

"The South Guard." Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Sun Gu and said, "General Sun Gu." ”

"The last general!" Sun Gu immediately went out of class and replied.

"Among our army, especially you, I want to see if you live up to your name. Xu Ru used the main force of our army, counting 200,000 troops, to defend the fortresses along the way, and each fort had its own grain and straw, so it was necessary to fight according to the fort, delay the Qin army's attack, and give the Qin army the greatest damage according to the geographical advantage. Zhao Kuo pulled out another token and said.

Sun Gu hurriedly stepped forward, holding the order in both hands and said: "The last general will take the order, and he will live up to the trust." ”

"Remember: the front should be light and the rear should be heavy, echelon allocation, and keep sufficient reserves." Zhao Kuo handed over the token and continued to instruct.

"Yes, the last general understands. The front is light and the rear is heavy, and the echelon is configured. Sun Gu repeated Zhao Kuo's instructions.

Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then looked at the rest of the generals and said: "The terrain in the north is flat, which is suitable for my cavalry to gallop, so it will be selected as the place for the decisive battle." Mobilize 80,000 cavalry and 10,000 elite infantry soldiers of the whole army to attack our army, led by the general, and fight to the death with the cavalry of the Qin army. Meritorious service is at this time, and the generals are encouraged! ”

"Yes!" When the generals heard this, they were also enthusiastic and responded in unison.

It's no wonder that the generals are enthusiastic. Judging from Zhao Kuo's arrangement, the battle between the Zhao army and the Qin army was not the so-called encirclement at all, but an evenly matched attack, and even the Zhao army still had a certain advantage.

First of all, he used fortresses and fortresses and the not too elite foot soldiers of the Zhao army to block the proud foot soldiers of the Qin army, resulting in a situation where the elite cavalry of the Zhao army and the cavalry of the Qin army were almost one-to-one, which was simply an atypical "Tianji horse race".

If you don't analyze it carefully, you will even think that the Zhao army has a good chance of winning, after all, the strength of Zhao Bianqi has been verified in the battle of the barrier, and the three-year confrontation has fully shown that in the case of fortifications, the Qin army can not help the Zhao army.

However, the actual situation is far from being so optimistic, and it can even be said that if there are no off-the-board moves, all Zhao Kuo's current arrangements are just meaningless dying struggles.

In addition to being able to replace a lot of elite Qin troops, it can also slightly delay the destruction of the Zhao army.

And Qin Jun obviously does not lack this idea time.
