Battle of Changping Chapter 086 East and West Attack the Barrier
General Hu Shu used his actual actions to pay for the previous miscalculation.
Xu Li, who was standing on the barrier, finally set his sights on the eastern battlefield again, and at this time, Hu Shu had successfully established a defensive line with his own soldiers, and the follow-up Qin army was also constantly marching towards the landing ground opened up by Hu Shu, seeing that the number of people was about to exceed 1,000.
To say that you don't regret it is false.
Obviously, he saw that there were strong generals joining in Danshui, but he didn't deal with it immediately. If he could do it all over again, Xu Li would definitely personally lead the cavalry to kill this Qin army on the spot.
But now, the defense line has been established, and even if he sends troops and horses to go forward, he may not be able to break through, and even become anxious. As the main general of the barrier, he obviously can't leave for a long time, otherwise, what will happen to the more important western battlefield?
Obviously, Xu Li knows in his heart that now that the mistake has been made, if he can't make up for it, then the most important thing is not to add to the mistake.
"Order: The cavalry gave up attacking the established base and instead attacked other positions of the Qin army crossing the river. Tune in the archers, and give me a hold on to the landing place. Xu Li calmly ordered.
"Yes!" A herald next to him immediately agreed.
Xu Li's general order was quickly executed, and the cavalry, who had originally wanted to charge again, immediately turned around and headed in the direction of the other Qin troops.
The Qin army, which had already made a defensive posture, saw the turn of the Zhao army, and secretly rejoiced, after all, against the cavalry, even if there was a wounded general in his own house, it was still out of disadvantage.
However, their rejoicing had not lasted for a moment, and the whistling sound from the air directly blew away their laughter, and above the barrier, a new song of archers had already attacked them.
Because the landing ground where he was there had not yet been opened, a huge number of Qin soldiers were crowded on the landing ground opened up by Hu Shu, and under the dense rain of arrows, the losses of the Qin army rose all at once.
However, although such suppression inflicted heavy losses on the Qin army, it could no longer stop the Qin army from landing on the west bank of Danshui.
All the Zhao army could do was to delay the landing and attack of the Qin army.
Xu Li knows this, and Hu Shu also knows it.
Therefore, Hu Shu did not take his own soldiers to support and open up a new landing ground, but took his own soldiers to expand the landing field under his feet on the spot.
"As long as a curve of archers comes up, the barrier can be suppressed." General Hu Shu thought silently in his heart.
Obviously, for the truth that "a thousand sheep in sight is not as good as a sheep in hand", Hu Shu understands it very well.
By this time, several hours had passed quietly, and the original hot sun was dying.
The Hu Wound Division here was unable to break through for a long time, and the Wang Qi over there obviously understood the failure of the raid plan.
"Since the raid can't be successful, let's turn it into a wheel war!" Wang Qi, who knew that his plan had failed, was not discouraged in the slightest, originally, even if he covered it up well, if he wanted to succeed in the surprise attack on the east bank, he still needed the cooperation of Zhao Jun, as long as Zhao Jun did not relax his defense on the east, then his strategy would not be successful.
How so?
It is up to man to make things happen!
It's best to be able to raid successfully, but it's really not good, and you can still rely on hard power to win the barrier.
Since he had to rely on hard power to win the barrier, Wang Qi knew that this battle had become anxious, and it was not an overnight thing.
As early as the moment when Hu Xian's headquarters roared angrily, but failed to reach the barrier, General Wang Cai immediately made a wide range of adjustments to the attack of the army.
First, it strengthened the defense of the rear of the army, and sent a large number of scouts to the west to prevent the Zhao army from retreating east and directly hitting his own door;
Second, the army of 80,000 that had been scattered like sesame seeds, withdrew 50,000, and immediately rested, and prepared to take over the attack at night and tomorrow during the day, so as to form an uninterrupted attack on the enemy of the fortress;
Third, divide the direction of the main attack, and attack fiercely at the flaws left by their own evacuation barriers.
As a result, with the landing of the Qin army on the east bank and the strategic adjustment of the Qin army in the west, the offensive of the two-sided flanking barrier has been basically formed.
Of course, in order to form such a situation of flanking from both sides, the Qin army under the Hu Wound Division in the east alone suffered no less than 5,000 casualties above the Danshui, and in the first battle in the south, the Qin army's all-round and weak offensive suffered losses of more than 8,000.
It can be said that the Zhao army on the barrier slashed more than 13,000 Qin troops on the first day of the war, and its own losses were less than 3,000.
This result made the army of the barrier very happy, including Xu Li.
It's just that Xu Li knows that there will be no more such results, and the next days will be even more difficult.
The only good news is that the three-day period limited by General Zhao Kuo has already passed a day, and even if the Qin army fights day and night, one-sixth of the time has passed.
As he spoke, the blazing bonfires had been lit up and down the barriers, and tens of thousands of torches directly illuminated the sky.
"Sure enough, the Qin army will fight day and night." Xu Li silently sighed in his heart the words that Zhao Kuo had said to him that the Qin army would fight day and night.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Li immediately ordered, and the second batch of soldiers began to rotate.
That's right, Zhao Kuo was completely sure of the idea that the Qin army was eager to take the barrier on the west bank of Danshui. Therefore, after Xu Li took over the defense of the rear battalion, Zhao Kuo left Xu Li alone to talk, which was a thousand instructions: the army under his command must be divided into several parts and take turns to meet the Qin army.
Therefore, even when the battle between the east and the west was facing the most danger, Xu Li did not use the reserves in his hands and the team that was resting.
The appearance of the new force once again suppressed the Qin army's east road division Hu Wound Division, who had just recovered from the landing battle, and even the extremely brave Qin general Hu Wound could not help but be fully taken care of by the Zhao army's sharp arrows, and on the excellent armor, two long arrows with barbs looked so abrupt.
Although on the east and west battlefields, the offensive of the Qin army is still continuing, but obviously with the passage of time, both physical strength and energy, the two armies have reached an extreme, and therefore the intensity of the Qin army's attack has slowly decreased.
But both Qin and Zhao's generals knew very well that the next battle climax would inevitably be after the rotation, and at that time, the barrier would also be completely reduced to a flesh mill.
The battle of this fortress was in full swing, and in the far north, tens of thousands of Zhao cavalry were also waiting for him, ready to teach the Qin cavalry in front of him a hard lesson, and the battle in the fortresses in the south and west had also quietly begun.
In the west of Danshui, there are more than soldiers everywhere.
