Between the stars and the moon, the crisp sound of horses' hooves breaks through the quiet morning.

Sitting on the high platform of the Chinese army, Zhao Kuo looked coldly at the scenes in front of him:

Ten thousand horses lined up in front, listening to the trumpets whimpering, the drums beating in unison, and the neighing of horses;

The army is about to start, and the Guanjing flag is half rolled, and countless soldiers shuttle among them, bringing up countless dust and smoke.

"Report: The division of my South Road was attacked by the army led by the Qin Army, and it has been broken through three villages, and one lieutenant and three lieutenants were killed, with losses of more than 15,000 soldiers!"

"Newspaper: The camp of Hanwangshan on the east bank of Danshui and the fortress on the east bank were attacked by the Qin army's partial divisions and fell one after another! The defenders are gone! ”

"Newspaper: The west bank barrier of our army was attacked by the main force of the Qin army and the Qin army on the east bank of Danshui, with a total strength of about 100,000 or more, and General Xu Li, the defender of the west bank wall, reported: Under the attack from both sides, the pressure on the defense of the barrier is quite great, and he will lead 50,000 soldiers under his command to serve his death force, and strive for a three-day period for the army, please make plans as soon as possible."

"Newspaper: General Sun Gu reported: The main force of the Qin army in the light wolf city has poured out, has stuck to the rear of our army, and is moving to the flank and rear of our army, and our army is relying on the advantages of the fortress to resist step by step. Please make a quick decision. ”

The army on the North Road is still being prepared, but one bad news after another has come, but in the face of the aggressiveness of the Qin army, where can Zhao Kuo make a better decision.

"Order: Sun Gu's main force, according to the fortress and its favorable terrain, resists the Qin army step by step, and ensures that its living forces have been eliminated. Tell Sun Gu and transfer the whole army: If you can exchange one for one, you are not at fault, and if you can exchange one for two, you are meritorious! Zhao Kuo ordered coldly.

"Yes!" When the herald on the side heard this, his heart sank, but he immediately agreed, and then took the order.

"Summoning Xu Li: Withdraw the order to hold on for three days, change the order and say: Take the annihilation of the enemy as the first priority, and according to the advantage of the barrier, the 50,000 Qin troops can be evacuated by themselves." Zhao Kuo continued to order.

"Yes!" Another herald replied.

Without waiting for Zhao Kuo to continue to think about the situation behind him, the herald in front of him hurried over again.

"Report: The 30,000 cavalry troops belonging to the former army have been completed!"

"Report: The 20,000 infantry soldiers belonging to the rear army have been deployed."

"Report: The 50,000-foot cavalry formation of the Chinese military headquarters has been completed."

......

Zhao Kuo listened to the herald's report silently with cold eyes, and silently calculated the strength and time in his heart.

Looking up, the Qin army was in the distance, and its strength was by no means below him, Zhao Kuo knew that this was a fierce battle with almost no chance of winning. But if there is any other way, Zhao Kuo will never want to do such a catch-and-kill.

Fire attack? The vast grassland, the weather is dry and dry, but it can indeed be burned, but what about after it is burned? It's not bad if you can end up together, but it's a pity that the main river of Danshui is to the east of this place, and the ditches with four ups and eight forks pass here, and then flow into Danshui together, and before the fire starts, the Qin army over there has already used stream water and river water to extinguish it.

Fire attack can't work, but what about water attack? Don't you have a lot of water to put out a fire?

Obviously, it is not good, it is the hot summer, the dry season, even the largest amount of Danshui, the water level is just above the knee, and the other small ditches and streams are even clearer, and they cannot form a devastating flood at all.

And the endless plain is not only conducive to the gallop of the cavalry of the Zhao army, but also cuts off the possibility of Zhao Kuo's "victory by surprise" from another angle, and it is basically impossible to ambush or anything.

Therefore, there is only one way left - to fight hard power.

But obviously, although the Zhao army had the advantage of cavalry, its hard power was actually far inferior to that of the Qin army.

The afterglow swept slightly over the sun that was slowly rising through the clouds, Zhao Kuo silently settled in his heart, then stood up, sank into the dantian, and slowly spit out a word: "Fight!" ”

With the word "war" exiting, on the high platform, the big silk behind Zhao Kuo immediately rolled up, and danced together with the flags around the high platform.

"Daxu Order: The Front Army Attacks!"

Under the high platform, one after another pegasus galloped out with the sound of whimpering horns, and while flying away, they loudly announced Zhao Kuo's orders.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

Immediately afterwards, the war drums of the front army sounded, changing from slow to urgent, as if urging the advance army to march.

The long knife was unsheathed, and Zhao Wei, the vanguard of the former army (the fierce general brother accepted in Chapter 47), slowly raised the long knife, and the long knife above his head reflected a dazzling light in the sun, which was the gaze of the 30,000 cavalry of the former army.

"Boom!"

A hammer fell, and the drums of war rattled dullly.

The long knife in the general's hand then slashed from the air until it was parallel to his shoulder.

"Kill!" The former army Zhao Wei roared, and then his feet worked together, and he clamped heavily on the horse's abdomen, and the painful war horse immediately rushed forward with his master.

It was too late and that was as fast as it was, and almost at the same time, the cavalry behind the main general immediately followed.

Layer after layer, like layers of waves, 30,000 cavalry followed the main general in an orderly manner.

If you look closely, although the rows of cavalry are not as horizontal and vertical as they are in the parade, they are just one and a half positions apart from each other, whether they are front and back, left and right. Such a distance will not affect the movement between the front and rear, and can quickly increase the horse's speed for reinforcement at critical times.

Obviously, the cavalry of the Zhao army has something to do, and the collective attack of tens of thousands of people not only does not show any panic, but is unexpectedly rigorous and orderly, and even has some inexplicable beauty.

Zhao Zhibian rides, and he is not weaker than others in his life.

With the horns and drums in the Zhao army, although the Qin army was far away, they also knew the situation at the first time.

Without hesitation, the main general Wang Yi sat in the Chinese army, and the cavalry general Yingyi immediately received the order to go out.

The black water-like Qin army immediately rushed towards the flaming Zhao army.

"Left and right wings, archers, scattered!" Zhao Wei, the vanguard of the former army of the Zhao army on the march, did not forget to observe the situation, and took advantage of the fact that the horse speed had not yet been raised, and immediately ordered to expand left and right.

"Yes!" The herald behind him immediately shook the avenue in his hand and signaled the left and right parts to disperse with a flag.

The reason why Zhao Wei wanted to spread left and right was to open enough distance between the armies to facilitate the movement of the cavalry, and at the same time, the archers were mainly long-range shooting, and the detour could also avoid unnecessary white-knuckle battles in time and space, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties.

Obviously, after being by Zhao Kuo's side for more than ten days, Zhao Wei is no longer Wuxia Ameng yesterday, of course, what is more important is that Zhao Wei, who was born in the north, already knows the use of cavalry tactics.

After a few more steps, the black figure of the Qin army in front of him was already in sight, Zhao Wei glanced at the archers on both sides with a little residual vision, and saw that they had already scattered on both sides according to their own requirements.
