Enough blood, enough red blood.

Zhao Kuo's general order was quickly brought back by the generals of each battalion, and everyone knew that tomorrow would be the day of the decisive battle, and the entire camp of the Zhao army was terrifyingly quiet.

Only the sound of sharpening knives echoed over the camp.

The fierce battle on the west bank continued, and the Qin army in the east captured another barrier before the sun went down, but with the change of the sun and the moon, the offensive and defensive momentum also fell one by one. The Zhao army actually took advantage of the darkness and took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to launch a counterattack on the fortress occupied by the Qin army during the day. He really took back a lot of territory overnight.

Of course, this is a clever trick given by Zhao Kuo, and the purpose is very simple:

First, of course, it was to delay the offensive rhythm of the Qin army. The Qin army advanced three steps during the day, but needed to withdraw two steps at night, and at the end of the day, the speed of advance can be described as quite slow;

Second, what is more important is to kill and injure the Qin army, don't look at the piecemeal battles at night, as long as there is enough time, it is not a problem to accumulate small victories into big victories, quantitative changes will eventually cause qualitative changes.

But this truth, obviously Wu Anjun Bai Qi does not understand, and such local turmoil is not within his consideration. In Bai Qi's eyes, the most important thing now is to quickly take down the west bank barrier of the Zhao army, so as to completely grasp the initiative on the battlefield, as long as the west bank barrier is taken, even if there are any accidents on other battlefields, the Zhao army has been completely locked in its own encirclement.

As for Bai Qi's second concern, it is the main attack on the battlefield on the northern road, although this battle is not like the battle of the west bank barrier, which is generally related to whether the entire campaign attempt can be realized, but it can greatly affect the final outcome and battle damage.

If the northern battlefield can be won, even if it is a small victory, then the Zhao army will no longer have the strength to break through, and the army can decisively intersperse and divide the Zhao army, so as to end the battle as soon as possible; But if it is a small defeat, I am afraid that we can only wait for the Zhao army to run out of food, and there is no doubt that the Qin army will accept several shocks from the Zhao army.

As for the big defeat, Wu Anjun said that this possibility is almost impossible, without him, this is the minimum trust in the Qin soldiers under his command. The battlefield in the north is almost flat, there is no trick to come out, with more than 100,000 combat power under his command, there is no possibility of defeat, even if the Zhao army suddenly mobilizes all the troops to the north road, Bai Qi also believes that Wang Ji and Ying Yi can block the Zhao army for several days.

It was precisely because of this battlefield judgment that Bai Qi's gaze was almost locked in the battle of the fortress on the west bank of Danshui.

On Zhao Kuo's side, he said that he didn't pay attention to the West Bank barrier, Zhao Kuo even changed his military order for the battle of the barrier, you must know that "the military order is like a mountain" is not a joke, but if you want to pay attention to the battle of the barrier, Zhao Kuo only put 50,000 troops, including 30,000 "miscellaneous troops".

There are also defensive battles in the east and south, and more than half of the 300,000 troops were left in the southeast by Zhao Kuo, and he personally gave tactical guidance......

But in any case, the generals on both sides are making final preparations for the final battle.

It was another early morning, and it was still a battlefield in the north, and the Qin and Zhao sides were once again reorganized, and another big battle began.

It is still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste, the Zhao army still opened the way with elite cavalry, and quickly broke through a defense line of the Qin army, and after the defense line, the Qin army's big killing weapon, the crossbow, also immediately revealed a hideous face.

A volley of "whoosh" fired, and hundreds of fine armor had already died on the spot.

It's just that, to the slight surprise of the Qin army, the follow-up Zhao army did not go around the Qin army's crossbow as yesterday.

"Stick it up," the cavalry lieutenant yelled.

Taking advantage of the exchange of crossbows for crossbow arrows, thousands of Zhao cavalry rushed towards the ballista and killed them.

Unfortunately, although the speed of the Zhao army's horses was fast, the speed of the crossbow cart to replace the crossbow bolts and rewind them was not slow.

A few sounds of "buzzing", because the distance was really close, under the huge force of the crossbow arrows, the cavalry of the Zhao army running in the front was actually shot to the ground by the people and horses, and the red, yellow, and white instantly flowed all over the ground.

However, the follow-up Zhao cavalry did not stop because of this, or turned the horse's head slightly, but slammed the horse's belly and rushed straight towards the ballista.

This is to use the lives of the cavalry to replace the ballistas of the Qin army that are in the way!

Seeing this situation, the Qin army present understood one after another, but they understood that the Qin army did not have many ways to deal with Zhao Jun's lifeless fighting style. The surrounding cavalry was entangled by the archers on both flanks of the Zhao army, and it was impossible to rescue them, and the ballista itself, because it was too heavy (compared to the cavalry), it was not easy to turn around, let alone retreat immediately.

There was no way, the Qin army could only watch the cavalry of the Zhao army getting closer and closer, and of course, the speed of the ballista winding was also exerted to the extreme at this moment of life and death.

With a few "buzzing" sounds, the ballista roared again, and outside the ballista, the cavalry of the Zhao army and the war horse fell to the ground together.

It's just that the Qin soldiers in the crossbow cart haven't had time to breathe a sigh of relief, only to hear a pop, and the blood sprayed by the war horse cavalry shot through by the crossbow arrows is mixed with various internal organs, splashing all over the body, and then sprinkled along the body on the shirtless Qin soldiers who are winding. (Because of the hot weather, winding is a hard job, coupled with the protection of the car, therefore, except for the commander, most of the Qin soldiers are shirtless)

It turned out that the cavalry of the Zhao army was already so close!

This was the last thought in the minds of many Qin soldiers who controlled the ballista, and the next moment, Zhao Jun's long knife had already appeared in front of him.

The Qin pawn who operated the ballista didn't even have a piece of cloth on his body to obstruct him, and he instantly became the ghost of Zhao Junsaber.

And the crossbow that was being wound was also empty because of the fall of the Qin pawn (in order to prevent accidents, the large crossbow arrows were wound first, and then the crossbow arrows were prevented. The bowstring made of ox tendon is suddenly empty, and its destruction of the crossbow is devastating. (Bows and crossbows are strictly forbidden to be empty, if there is no arrow to remove the force, these forces will be used passively on the bow itself, it can be said that how powerful the crossbow is, how harmful the empty is great.) ）

There was a few clicks, and the hardwood crossbow frame quickly broke open.

And even the crossbow that escaped the catastrophe of "empty release" soon ushered in the ruthless killing of the cavalry of the Zhao army, cutting the crossbow string and cutting the crossbow frame, all in one go.

Soon, most of the Qin army's ballistae were shot four or five rounds, and less were served by the cavalry of the Zhao army after three rounds of shooting, of course, for the Qin army's ballista, the Zhao army also lost three or four thousand cavalry combat power, especially in order to lure out the ballista, and more than a thousand elite cavalry died under the ballista.
