Battle of Changping Chapter 141 The Zhao army divided its troops and lost its fighters
One by one, the reserves were sent by the Qin generals, and the exhausted troops were replaced and repaired.
The armor had been taken off as soon as he returned to the camp, and the sweat on the single coat was wet and dry, dry and wet, and finally left a little white salt stain on the black Ge clothes.
The long sword and spear in his hand were also collectively piled up outside their respective tents, and they almost couldn't wait to change to the clay pot for cooking, and rushed to the water intake place, half a basin of cold well water under the stomach, half a basin of cold water poured down from the head, and all the heat was extinguished - one word: cool! It was thoroughly cool from the inside out.
After receiving the water from the well, a few steps to the right is the place where the food is received - the smell of millet has filled the entire camp, and the soldiers who have just driven away the enthusiasm can't help but move their index fingers.
It's just that they don't have time to pick up their "delicious" lunch.
The elite army of the Zhao State had quietly moved to a place less than a mile away from them, and the Qin pawns who were standing on the high platform and watching finally noticed that something was wrong.
A shrill whistle soon sounded from the south gate.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! A voice above the gate shouted: "Close the gate!" ”
Soon the report of the enemy attack was handed to the main general of the Qin army, and looking at the smoke and dust not far away, the general of the Qin army quickly realized that there was a big trouble!
However, the generals of the Qin army also reacted quickly, ordering the soldiers who had just returned to the camp and unloading their armor to immediately regroup their positions to attack the Zhao army, and on the other hand, ordering the army attacking the fortress to withdraw to the camp immediately, and at the same time not forgetting to report to his immediate superior.
That's right, after the main force led by Wang Qisuo returned to Wang Yi's men in the north, the Zhao army went south, and Sima Cuo also returned to the Chinese army under Bai Qi, and the offensive and defensive battles in the west were handed over to Hu Shu.
Although the reaction of the generals of the Qin army has been very fast, the front of the Zhao army is already close at hand, and the soldiers who have returned to the camp can't wait to unload their armor and hand over their swords, drink water and go, in a hurry, where can they re-array, as for the new force attacking the fortress, the Zhao army of the fortress will not give them any chance to look back when they see the reinforcements coming.
It can be said that the current Qin army base camp simply does not have any ability to stop the Zhao army. As long as the Zhao army concentrates its forces and makes a surprise attack, the Qin army's Dazhai is bound to rush down.
However, in the face of such a great opportunity, the generals of the Zhao army were like hysteria, and they actually divided more than 5,000 elite soldiers to fight with reinforcements at the barrier.
Looking at Zhao Jun, who was being diverted, the pressure on Qin Jun's generals suddenly relaxed a lot, and he was even so moved that he was about to cry.
In a hurry, the generals of the Qin army took their own soldiers to the south to block the attack of the Zhao army, and bought time for the other troops to strengthen the front. The generals of the Qin army, after all, paid the price for his contempt, the price of blood.
Just now, it was the Zhao army who exchanged his life for his life on the fortress, but at this time, he was replaced by the general of the Qin army and his own elite soldiers. Things in the world are often so "wonderful".
Of course, the iron-clad laws of the battlefield apply not only to the Qin army, but also to the Zhao army.
Because of the reduction of the assault force, the 5,000 elite Zhao army was unable to form a temporary front formed by the Qin army generals for a while, and immediately after, more and more Qin soldiers put the rice bowl in their hands at will, and they didn't even have time to put on their armor in a hurry with a long sword and spear, and went to the southern camp to assemble to resist the enemy.
Of course, because of the lack of troops and the danger of combat effectiveness, the Qin army was still almost pressed and beaten by the Zhao army.
And under the fortress over there, the new forces of the Qin army heard the sound of gold in the back camp, and were wondering why they had just been on top not long ago, and they were about to break the base, but they were recalled.
It's just that the strict military discipline still made the Qin army retreat like a tide.
Looking back, the Zhao army was already intercepting his own way back, and the Zhao army in the fortress was becoming more and more excited and frantically glued to the Qin army, trying to completely leave the Qin army under the barrier.
It's a pity that there are less than 3,000 people in the fortress (more than 1,000 battle losses), even if you add the 5,000 Zhao troops who attacked on the back, the total number is only 8,000 people, while the attacking Qin army has 5,000 people.
The art of war cloud "ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple to divide it".
Obviously, such a force is not enough to trap the Qin army outside the camp, not to mention, most of this Qin army is a new force that has just been replaced, if the combat power is a few points stronger than the five thousand Zhao army that has just arrived, after all, the Qin army has always been good at foot soldiers.
Therefore, the captain of the Qin military academy immediately made a decision and divided a section of about 1,000 people to drag the Zhao army in the fortress and backstab, and the main force of 3,000 troops quickly detoured to return to camp from the north.
In the face of the Qin army's "strong man breaking his wrist", the Zhao army decisively decided to cooperate with the Zhao army in the fortress to completely eat the two thousand Qin troops when they could not annihilate the Qin army.
Immediately, the battlefield became three: one was the base camp of the Qin army, where 5,000 Zhao troops attacked the camp where less than 2,500 Qin soldiers were defending; The second piece is under the fortress, where 3,000 fortress troops and 5,000 elites surround 2,000 Qin elites, and the third piece is 3,000 Qin troops' fresh troops from east to north, detouring back to the village.
After only a cup of tea, the 3,000 Qin troops who marched in a hurry rushed back to the village, and then joined the defense of the camp without stopping. This also marked the complete failure of the Zhao army's operation to break through the Qin army's main village.
Of course, the Zhao army's offensive continued, but the intensity had been significantly reduced, and it was clear that their purpose was no longer to break through the camp, but to force the Qin army to be unable to reinforce the two thousand lone troops under the fortress.
After the two thousand breaks, the Qin army was isolated and helpless, and still insisted to the last soldier, but the Zhao army had a fortress and an offensive of a flanking attack, and there was a strong morale and several times the strength of the army in the middle, coupled with the vicious sun in the afternoon, the phenomenon of heat stroke appeared among the Qin army in a short time......
"Time, place, and people", all the battlefield conditions are on the side of Zhao, and it is only a matter of time before these two thousand lone troops are wiped out.
"The ammunition is exhausted, the food is gone, and there are no people", more than an hour later, under the fortress, with the fall of the last Qin soldier, the whole battle finally came to an end.
Outside the Qin camp, the Zhao army besieging the camp left like a tide, and the Qin general, who was hit by two knives, slashed and killed the last Zhao soldier who had no time to retreat, leaning on the long sword that had collapsed, quietly looking at the Zhao army in front of him who was receding like a tide and the black flag of the Qin army that had finally fallen in the distance, and sighed heavily in his heart, both ashamed and a little lucky, and even for no reason, there was a trace of weirdness in his heart.
