"Fight!"

A roar roared from the east side of the rampart.

The Zhao army, which had already seen the Qin army crossing the Danshui, immediately began to block the enemy's advance according to the command of their respective captains.

First the archers suppressed, and then the cavalry harassed the enemy. Just like the appearance of the Qin army blocking the Zhao army from crossing the Danshui that day. However, the situation of the Qin army crossing the river was far different from that of the Zhao army.

First, there is the relationship of time.

Zhao Jun chose the foggy early morning, and the visibility was extremely low, not to mention above the Danshui hundreds of steps away, even under the barriers. Although the Qin army discovered the Zhao army's attempt to cross the river, if it wanted to stop the Zhao army, it could only rely on the dense rain of arrows to cover several possible locations to cross the river, among which the arrow rate can be imagined.

And now the Qin army is crossing the river under the big sun, where there are more people and where there are fewer people, Zhao Jun is clear at a glance, and when he shoots, the accuracy is naturally much more sufficient. Only one bow and arrow caused the Qin army to suffer heavy losses.

It's not that the generals of the Qin army don't know the time, but the Qin army can't wait, not for a moment.

Taking the west bank barrier means completely cutting off the path of the Zhao army's eastward escape, and the Qin army knows it, and the Zhao army must also know it. In the vision of the Qin army, the time difference they can take advantage of is only a little, once the Zhao army turns, then the two armies will definitely fight into a stalemate, and even a good encirclement and annihilation battle will become a rout, or even a draw.

This was unacceptable to the Qin army. The early moment to take the barrier, the early moment to close the door to besiege the main force of the Zhao army, and to pay a little loss of troops for this, it is also expected by the upper echelons of the Qin army, including Wu Anjun Bai Qi.

However, the problem of the Qin army's Hu wounded troops crossing the Danshui was not only the Zhao army's arrow attack under the blessing of the heavenly time.

And cavalry!

On the Qin army's side, because of the lack of cavalry because of the distance around the mountain, that is certain. I hoped that in the battle between Hanwangshan and the east bank barrier, I would have gained some of them, but who would have thought that the treasury of Hanwang Mountain and the east bank barrier would be as clean as a mouse, and there was not much grain.

This also led to the fact that there were not a few war horses in the Qin military camp on the east coast today.

Therefore, if the army on the east coast wants to cross the Danshui, it can only rely on the two legs of the soldiers. How fast can you run on two legs? Still in the middle of the water.

Or because there is no urgency of the war, the personnel who cut off the Danshui have not yet been in place, although it is the summer dry season, the water level of the Danshui is not deep, but it is enough to reach the knees, coupled with the slow flow to the southeast, which invisibly adds a bit of difficulty to the Qin army's crossing of the river.

Covered by a rain of arrows and obstructed by Danshui, but there was only a pair of legs in the middle, the difficulty of the Qin army's march can be imagined.

Compared with the speed at which the Zhao army crossed the river with the help of war horses, the Qin army's marching speed could almost be described as turtle speed, and the turtle speed of the advance provided an opportunity for the Zhao army archers on the barrier to play.

Under the rain of arrows, let alone the hundred Qin soldiers hated the spot.

And the fallen corpses became an obstacle to the progress of the follow-up soldiers, and as a last resort, the soldiers of the Qin army could only endure the grief in their hearts and use their spears to pull away the corpses of their comrades.

Under such a vicious circle, before landing on the West Bank, the 20,000-strong army that was wounded was already broken.

But Rao, the Qin army still managed to land on the west bank of Danshui with their fearless sacrifice spirit and after paying nearly 3,000 casualties.

However, their nightmare did not end there, and the greater casualties were just beginning.

Again, the reason is cavalry.

The Qin army on the east bank did not have cavalry, but the Zhao army did!

Almost at the same time as the Qin soldiers landed on the west bank, the door hole under the barrier of the west bank was quietly opened, and immediately, one by one, the big horses came out of it.

In fact, there were not many cavalry in the Zhao army's fortress, and there were only 1,500 cavalry, including General Xu Li's personal soldiers. But it was these 1,500 cavalry that caused the Qin army to suffer a big loss.

The archers of the Qin army, who had just completed the formation, had not had time to draw the longbow in their hands, and a cool breeze came towards them.

The light flashed in front of him, and before he understood what was happening, a trace of coolness came from his neck, and when he looked down, he saw bright red blood spurting out, and only blood red was left between his eyes......

People go like the wind, and knives are as fast as electricity.

In the face of the cavalry of the Zhao army, the infantry had an almost irreparable disadvantage, and most of the people who landed on the west bank belonged to the archers, and the strength was only a few hundred. Whether it is the restraint relationship between the troops, or the number of troops, coupled with the consumption of crossing the river, and the reduction of combat power, even if Hu Shu's troops are the elite of the Qin army, it is really difficult to resist the cavalry of the Zhao army.

Helplessly, one by one the elite of the Qin army was either killed, or shot, or driven into Danshui, and then killed by the ensuing rain of arrows, and the land defense line that had been established with great difficulty was destroyed by the cavalry of the Zhao army almost instantly.

The only good news may be that because of the attack from the west, although the Zhao army is prepared, its combat power against the enemy in the east is limited after all.

But the more this is the case, the more unacceptable it is for Hu to be injured - thousands of soldiers have been lost, but nothing has been accomplished.

The main general Hu Wound almost crushed the back molars, and he naturally knew that it was not that the soldiers under his command did not do their best, and after a little thought, Hu Wound immediately made adjustments, and adjusted the order of crossing the river, from the archers in front to the sword and shield soldiers first, and the archers followed.

Not only that, Hu Shu even personally carried a long knife and led his own soldiers into the battle of crossing the river.

Of course, this is not Hu Qi's righteous move, and Hu Shu is not such a general who is easily carried away by anger, otherwise Bai Qi would not have arranged for him to lead his division away among many generals.

Hu Shu knew very well that now that the army in the west had arrived, if he could not cross the Danshui as soon as possible and form a real flanking attack on the barrier, then the losses in the west would be even greater.

And this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that if he can't form a flank attack as soon as possible, once the main force of the Zhao army comes back, then Wu Anjun's entire plan will be disrupted.

Although Hu Shen didn't know that it was because he had lost the best chance to raid because of his own surprise, which led to the passivity of the battle, Hu Shen knew that he had to make a breakthrough immediately.

How to break through?

Fill with your life - go forward with the most elite foot soldiers, establish a defensive line on the west bank, and cover the subsequent landing of the army across the river. Obviously, in the absence of spearmen, the most elite foot soldiers can only be themselves and their own soldiers.

Without the slightest hesitation and timidity, Hu Shu immediately looked at the generals under his command and said: "All the soldiers listen to the order: the meritorious service is today, and with the generals, kill!" ”

"Kill!" The Qin army on the east bank shouted.

The sound of shouting and killing in the sky immediately spread from the east bank to Danshui, and even passed through the towering barriers, heading straight for the Qin army camp in the west.
