Compared with the smooth transfer of the main forces in the Hyun region, the Zhao army at other nodes did not have such good luck. Although in order to pursue the Zhao army in the Hyun region, Sima Coo's Qin Ruishi was transferred back, but even ordinary Qin pawns were not something they could deal with.

What's even worse is that with the failure of the encirclement and annihilation mission in the Hyun region of the middle road, the Qin army, from Sima Cuo down, is holding back a wave of anger.

What else can I do?

All vented to the remaining Zhao Jun.

As a result, the soldiers of the remaining nodes of the Zhao army obviously suffered hardships that they should not have endured, and the most direct consequence of these hardships was that it was almost impossible to break through the formation.

The captains and captains of the Zhao army also quickly realized this, and immediately ordered the soldiers under their command: take advantage of the morning fog to disperse and break through.

Soon, the established defense also came to an end.

It's a pity that the Qin army, which has grown wise and wise, immediately increased the strength of nearly 10,000 people on the east bank barrier, there are guards in the city, patrols in the city, and there are thousands of people who are constantly looking for the secret passage left by the Zhao army.

Therefore, there are very few Zhao troops who can successfully disperse and break through.

And as the morning sun rose high, soon the last trace of mist on the surface of Danshui also dissipated.

It was impossible to break through in broad daylight, and Zhao Jun had no choice but to turn back to the west bank barrier in twos and threes, and make the last struggle in his familiar position.

It's not that the Zhao army hasn't considered the issue of surrender, the problem is that the Qin army has never wanted to take prisoners, not to mention that the current Qin army has already killed the red eye. Instead of being caught and waiting to be killed, it is better to kill one and earn one!

By the time it came, the large-scale resistance was almost gone, but on the top of the barrier for dozens of miles, there were Zhao troops in ambush almost every few dozen steps, ready to attack the unprepared Qin army's waist at any time.

No one knows how many Zhao troops are still hidden in this barrier, and how many kills and injuries will be brought to the Qin army.

However, Sima Cuo also made a quick decision, and ordered Wang Cai to lead an army of 50,000 to the north road to reinforce the road, counting more than 50,000 casualties, Sima Cuo's strength to guard the fortress was even less than 20,000 horses. This also caused the Qin army to be extra careful and slow in cleaning up the remnants, which was still based on the fact that the Qin army was very familiar with the west bank barriers.

As a result, sporadic battles continued until dusk, and even though the Qin army had been cautious, it still suffered considerable losses from the remnants of the Zhao army.

Post-war settlement: In the battle of the West Bank Barrier, the total strength of the Zhao army was about 50,000 people, except for the 1,500 cavalry and about 4,000 foot soldiers who broke through from the Hyun area, the number of troops who fled east while taking advantage of the mist was only a few thousand, and the total number of people who finally arrived at the old pass was less than 7,000 people.

Compared with the losses of the Zhao army, their results can be described as brilliant.

Under the attack of the Qin army on both sides, it still lost nearly 60,000 troops and horses, especially the Hu Wounded Division, because of the forced landing and risky pursuit, 25,000 elites, after the war was already less than 10,000.

And this is not the most distressing thing for Sima Cuo, but it is Qin Ruishi's injury, five hundred Ruishi went on the expedition, and after the war, there were only two hundred and twenty people left, and more than half of the Ruishi were explained to the barrier.

With a battle loss ratio of almost 1 to 1.2, it is really difficult for Sima Cuo to accept this result. Even if this result is actually very close to the battle loss ratio when Qin defended Zhao's attack that day, after all, the Qin army on that day had no reinforcements at all, and it also took the same number of Zhao troops.

It's just that the Qin army on that day did not face the problem of being flanked from both sides.

How so? Zhao Jun still earned it after all!

However, the reason why the Zhao army was able to achieve such results under the condition that the troops were obviously weak was naturally due to the geographical advantage, but on the other hand, the Qin army's actions of underestimating the enemy, including the mismatch between the two armies in the process of flanking the attack, were also one of the reasons for their own heavy losses in the early stage.

Of course, the most important reason for this is that Zhao Jun's independent generals Xu Li and below all dare to think and fight, and even fight with their lives, which is more open-minded than Qin Jun. And Zhao Kuo's temporarily revised military order - only about the number of enemies killed, not to defend the barrier, but also the premise guarantee that the defenders of the barrier dare to think and fight.

If there was no modification of General Zhao Kuo's order, the Zhao army would have no choice but to stick to it and wait for help, would Xu Li still dare to decisively order the cavalry under his command to take the initiative to attack? Can the soldiers under his command still play such a wonderful cooperation? How could Zhao Jun be caught off guard by the Qin army? And in the end, how could the army of the fortress abandon the barrier and concentrate on fleeing for their lives?

If it weren't for the desperate resistance of the soldiers below, the Qin army would have torn through the defense line of the barrier long ago;

If there is no Xu Li, he would rather go to the battlefield in person than use the cavalry, where can he maintain the combat strength of most of the cavalry;

If there was no fearless charge and return of the cavalry, where would the main camp of the Zhao army be able to highlight the encirclement of the Qin army;

If there is no good hand and secret passage on the east bank barrier in advance, where can the Zhao army quickly break through the east bank barrier that has been occupied by the Qin army.

It can be said that the victory of the Battle of the Fortress was a complete victory of the Zhao army from strategy to tactics, even if this victory was not big, and even on the bright side, although the Qin army paid a certain price, it also achieved a complete strategic initiative.

The most important thing is that the results of the fortress defensive battle tell the entire Zhao army: as long as it is arranged, under the condition of occupying a favorable position, the Zhao army can still hold its position even in the face of a flank attack from both sides, and can even play a one-to-one or even one-to-one battle loss ratio with the enemy.

This kind of information is undoubtedly a stimulant for the Zhao army that is fighting in the fortress, and even a weakening of the strategic encirclement that the Qin army is about to complete - what about the encirclement, you can't get in, and if you want to get in, it will cost you at least half to die.

At the same time, the second battle of the barrier also fully exposed many problems of the Qin army: such as the problem of the lack of high-level generals, the problem of mutual reluctance to cooperate due to the silent struggle for merit caused by military merits, and the problem of insufficient preparation and unclear understanding of the opponent.

If the Qin army can find and solve the problems in the army through this battle, which is not very large in scale and not too heavy in losses, then perhaps, the Qin army will earn more.

It's a pity that although Sima Cuo was distressed by the consumption of Ruishi, and even Hu Shu was sentimental about the heavy losses of his subordinates, no matter whether Sima Cuo, Hu Shu, Wang Qi, or even an ordinary Qin soldier didn't think that they had lost this battle, let alone found and solved the problem.

And this is the most terrifying ...... Issue......
