If you want to fight, but you can't go too far, and break the point directly, then naturally it won't work. If you don't do your best, you can't let the attackers see the flaws, and that's the hardest part.

This is also the reason why Zhao Kuo did not hand over this battle to Zhao Wei. With Zhao Wei's ability, if he doesn't break Qin Zhai, it will be strange. The generals of the Qin army were bound to be suspicious.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo chose a little-known general to attack this barrier.

Still because of this, the division of troops by General Zhao was not a wrong decision of his own self-confidence, but Zhao Kuo's repeated explanation - the goal of this battle was not to break through the Qin army's camp, but to hurt the Qin army, so that the Qin general could quickly ask for help from his superiors.

The "point" has been surrounded, and aid has been begged.

The next step is to "send reinforcements", and the key to this is the question of where the reinforcements come from.

The number of troops in Zhao Kuo's hands is limited, and the elite soldiers that can be used are only 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the Chinese army has to leave 20,000 in case of emergency, so the limit of Zhao Kuo's troops is 40,000.

This led to the 10,000 elites in the encirclement point, and after bluffing the Qin army, they had to quickly retreat and hurry north to participate in the next reinforcements.

Similarly, due to the shortage of troops, Zhao Kuo had to accurately judge the source of the reinforcements, so that he could use these 40,000 horses to encircle and annihilate the Qin army that came to help.

So, where will the Qin army transfer troops from?

If it is far and near, it is natural that the soldiers of the other fortress and the army of the fortress in the east are the closest to the point surrounded, but can they dare to move?

Apparently did not dare. The total number of Hu Wounds is 40,000 horses, if the Zhao army really comes to attack, the barrier is the most important, the first thing Hu Wound wants to think about when he gets the news is not to go to the siege, but to stick to the barrier to prevent the Zhao army from breaking through. Naturally, it was impossible to draw troops to relieve the siege.

If the army from the east is not enough to break the siege, Hu Shu will inevitably ask for help from the army on other roads.

And the only one who can save him, or who can rescue him as soon as possible, is the north!

There were only 50,000 troops in the south, and there was more than enough to defend themselves, but there were not enough reinforcements for other routes. And most of its troops were temporarily recruited by Hanoi County to defend the city, and their combat strength was worse than that of the ordinary Qin army. If 10,000 troops are sent for reinforcement, it may not be enough to relieve the siege, and if 20,000 troops are drawn, the south will be seriously underwhelmed.

In the west, where Bai Qi's main camp is located, naturally there are enough troops to come to the rescue, but that is the west, and if you want to come to reinforcements, you have to cross the entire defense area of the Zhao army, and when they come, the daylilies are cold.

Of course, there is a way to transfer 20,000 troops from the south and reinforce the east, and then mobilize troops from the west to replenish the south.

It's just that if you want to complete such an operation, not only does it have extremely strict requirements for Qin Jun's cooperation, but if you don't pay attention to it, you will give Zhao Jun all kinds of flaws.

Of course, the most important thing is that the scout Baoxin will have enough time to reach the west, and the army from the north will rush to the east to relieve the siege.

So does the Qin army in the north have the ability to break the siege?

The answer is, of course, yes, Wang Ji and Yingyi's department is the most powerful of the entire Qin army, even after the battle with the Zhao army, there is still a main army of 60,000 or 70,000, plus the 50,000 army brought by Wang Cai after capturing the barrier, and now there are more than 110,000 troops gathered in the north.

Its combat strength is also mostly veterans in the army, and it is effortless to send out an army of 10,000 or 20,000 to relieve the siege, and it has no impact on the layout of the north.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo judged that Hu Shu would definitely ask for help from Wang Qi's troops in the north as soon as possible, and at the same time sent scouts to explain the situation to Bai Qi's main camp.

As a result, the 30,000 elite Zhao army led by Zhao Wei naturally moved to the road where the Qin army in the north must go south.

As for whether Wang Yu's subordinates will come and how many people will come, this is not something that Zhao Kuo can predict. If it is less, I am afraid that it will not hurt the Qin army, but if it is too much, with the 30,000 troops of the Zhao army, even if it is an ambush, I am afraid it will be difficult to eliminate.

However, Zhao Kuo's judgment, with the arrogant appearance of the Qin army now, is bound to regard the Zhao army's attack this time as a retaliatory attack, and the Qin army in the north will definitely send reinforcements. And without an order to mobilize troops and horses, even Wang Yi may not dare to mobilize too much, 20,000 soldiers may be the limit, his own 40,000 troops ambush 20,000 Qin troops, nine out of ten.

And the truth is going as Zhao Kuo expected.

After receiving the news that the Zhao army in front of him had counterattacked and the camp was in danger, Hu Shu did two things as soon as possible: first, withdraw all the Qin troops that could be contacted and jointly guard the barrier; The second messenger is the main camp and the headquarters of Wang Yu in the north, asking for reinforcements.

In line with the idea of exercising Yingyi, Wang Yi re-"lived in a simple place" after repelling the Zhao army, and all the burden was pressed on Yingyi's shoulders again, including the 50,000 troops brought by Wang Cai, all of which were under the command of Yingyi.

Naturally, the scout who asked for help also informed Ying Yi of the message of asking for help.

The young Yingyi was immediately angry, Zhao Jun actually dared to fight back?! When he ordered 15,000 cavalry troops to relieve the siege and rescue.

For Yingyi, this is a rare opportunity to wash away the defeat.

The First Battle of the North Continent, after all, still left an almost indelible shadow in the young Yingyi's heart, even if he had behaved unexpectedly, but unfortunately he met Zhao Kuo, a monster with both ancient military knowledge and modern military theory. Even Bai Qi had to admit that he underestimated Zhao Kuo.

It is also because of this battle that Yingyi needs a hearty victory to prove himself, to the whole army, and even more to himself. What he didn't know was that he didn't have to prove anything to others at all.

However, people sometimes do this - risking their lives for the sake of some unnecessary proof.

Letters were sent out at an early hour, and soldiers were drawn at three o'clock. The difference between the period was only four hours, and it can be said that the speed of the Qin army was very fast. It's just that Qin Jun never dreamed that their high-speed mechanism would actually be the culprit for sending them on the road this time.

Fifteen thousand cavalry, not too much, not too little. 15,000 cavalry is enough to defeat the 10,000 army of Zhao's counterattack, but these 15,000 cavalry can just be eaten by Zhao Kuo's 40,000 army.

Taking advantage of the clear moonlight, Yingyi led an army of 15,000 galloping in the mountains, and on the road ahead, the mountains gradually disappeared into darkness, and a hazy curve meandered into the distance.

In the distance, where the moonlight could not shine, the 40,000 Zhao troops (including the 10,000 troops who had retreated from the east) had opened their mouths and waited quietly for the arrival of the Qin army.
