What was embarrassing was that the more than 8,000 sharp soldiers led by him were actually attacked by the Zhao army, and nearly half of them were lost, and only about 5,000 soldiers were left in the camp. This is undoubtedly a big defeat.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun's move to divide the troops allowed him to successfully hold the camp and avoid the consequences of the annihilation of his own army. Being able to preserve the main army under the surprise attack of tens of thousands of elite Zhao troops is already a blessing to invite heaven.

As for the slightest weirdness, General Qin Jun thought about the whole battle process, but he couldn't find the origin of the weirdness.

As the hot sun gradually moved westward, the two sides of Qin and Zhao gradually died down. The Qin army occupies the camp, and the Zhao army now has more than 10,000 troops, and it is difficult to break it, but it is also difficult, but the Zhao army does not seem to be ready to fight to the death with the Qin army, and quietly confronts the Qin army.

That's right, confrontation.

This makes the Qin army very nervous, what are you going to do if you don't attack or retreat? Is there any conspiracy? Or maybe it's too hot and you're ready to fight at night?

Immediately, the Qin army camp continued to be busy, rejecting horses, rolling wood, gravel and other objects moved out of the back camp, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry on the wall, lest the Zhao army take advantage of the loophole.

However, at this time, the elites of the Zhao army had actually quietly withdrawn from the battlefield.

In addition to replenishing the fortress with another day's grain and five hundred soldiers, a large empty battalion stood on one side of the fortress, silently intimidating the Qin army.

That's right, Zhao Jun withdrew! The withdrawal was decisive, swift and secretive!

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the Qin army was scared of a sneak attack and did not dare to investigate. And the reason why the Zhao army withdrew so decisively and quickly is only one reason - they still have a task!

"Rush for a hundred miles, build fortifications, and block enemy reinforcements."

This is the task that General Pi snatched from Zhao Wei last night.

Before tonight, he and his 10,000 elites must appear at a pass called Qifeng Mountain in the north to block the way of the Qin army to the north and south.

Before the 30,000 main forces under General Zhao Wei completed the encirclement and annihilation of the southbound Qin army, not a single soldier was allowed to enter the battlefield.

Yes. Zhao Kuo's real downfall was not to take the Qin army by surprise, that was nothing more than to consume thousands of Qin army's combat strength, and for the Qin army with hundreds of thousands of troops, it was not even a decent cold.

What Zhao Kuo wanted was the kind of damage that the Qin army really broke its muscles and bones, and it was necessary to slow down for several days and re-evaluate and arrange the battle situation. Because of such an opportunity, it is impossible to give yourself a second time with the ability to rise up in vain.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, but we still want to greatly weaken the enemy's combat strength. The Battle of Huaihai flashed like a bolt of lightning in Zhao Kuo's mind.

In the Huaihai battlefield that year, the same enemy was strong and I was weak.

In terms of troop strength, the total number of PLA troops in the Huaye and Zhongye field armies, plus the subordinate military districts in Shandong and other places, is only 600,000, while the national army includes the reorganized 74th Division, the 10th Army, the 18th Army, and other ace units that have made great contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, with seven corps and a total of 800,000 people.

From the point of view of weapons and equipment, Mr. Su's Huaye is considered rich, but it is just a few more machine guns than the brother troops, and a few guns of not too large caliber, as for the other main force, the Central Plains Field Army, because of the thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountain, the originally good equipment (before the advance of the middle field was the fattest, there is no one) was forced to discard, and the personnel was reduced by more than half. The Nakano in front of him was almost no different from calling Hanako, and even many soldiers had less than five bullets in their hands.

On the other hand, the Nationalist Army has air force cover, artillery roar below, tanks open the way, several main forces, and a full set of American equipment, and the artillery of just one division of the 74th Division is almost the same as the number of artillery of the entire field army in Huaye.

No matter how you look at it, it is a battle with extremely asymmetrical strength, and even the commission put down its arrogance and said: "The advantage is mine!" ”

But in such a situation of "superiority in the enemy", Mr. Su stubbornly ate the 800,000 national troops little by little, and ate them cleanly.

Of course, this has to mention the support of the people of the five provinces in the Huaihai region.

However, from a purely tactical point of view, every battle of General Su can be called an art, but if we summarize it a little, we can find the general law - to concentrate absolutely superior forces in the local area and form an encirclement and annihilation of the enemy's army.

One of the tactics of this tactic is that one's own actions should be secret and swift, and that they should be able to appear in unexpected places at any time. What is even more difficult is to mobilize the enemy - only by allowing the enemy's troops, which are like an iron plate, to break away from the front and rear and form a salient, can our army have a chance to take advantage of it.

And if you want to mobilize the enemy, "encircling points and sending reinforcements" is obviously a tried and tested routine.

As a good young man from the 21st century, Zhao Kuo learned from the hero's predecessors and applied it, presumably Su would not mind. Well, it seems that the current Zhao Kuo should be the ancestor of later generations......

None of this matters.

What is important is the implementation of the routine of "encircling the point and sending reinforcements".

The first is to choose the point of siege, which must be the point that the Qin army must save.

What is the point where salvation lies, that is, once this point is lost, the main force of the Zhao army is very likely to escape.

In this way, the points to the west and south were excluded, because both the Light Wolf City further west and the Jiepai Ridge further south were enough to continue to block the path of the Zhao army.

All that is left is nothing more than east and north.

Needless to say, once the north is broken, you can drill into the forest and return to Changping Pass, but the problem is that the entire north is the most powerful and powerful side of the Qin army, and you want to break through from it? As long as your brain doesn't get caught in the door, you obviously won't do such a thought.

In the end, only the east side remained, although there were two barriers in the east, and Danshui barrier, but after repeated wars, the west bank barrier has been broken, although the east bank barrier has been combed, but no one dares to guarantee whether Zhao Jun has left a back move, and the water level of Danshui can be passed with a trouser leg.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Qin army in the east is the weakest, since Wang Caisuo led the 50,000 troops to the north, the Qin army in the east is less than 30,000 troops, although the follow-up Qin Wang reinforcements arrived and sent 10,000 troops to the east, but there is no doubt that the defense in the east is still very weak.

Therefore, the "point" of this "encirclement" naturally fell on the east side, the fortress closest to the fortress.

Once you've chosen a point, it's time to think about the siege.

Because time is urgent, it is obviously not possible to besiege slowly, so there is only "fighting instead of bezoaring".

Hit, hit hard, you have to hurt the other party, so that the other party will not hesitate to ask for help.
