Battle of Changping Chapter 157 Broken Teeth Break Mouth and Kill the Qin Army
The one nailed to the position is called "nail", and Zhao Kuo invented the "broken tooth" tactic on its basis.
It was when the Qin army concentrated its forces to attack one of the "broken teeth" of the Zhao army, and the broken teeth of the nearby Zhao army turned into sharp teeth, attacking frantically around the Qin army, bound to bite off some flesh and blood on the huge body of the Qin army.
Although the Qin army had been extremely careful, it still couldn't stop the already quite elusive Zhao army.
The back road that has obviously been cleared will suddenly appear dozens of Zhao Jun's lone soldiers; thought that he was about to break through the position, but he saw that the Zhao army in the position suddenly rushed out from the front like crazy; Even underground, even in the trees......
In short, you never know where those crazy Zhao troops will suddenly appear from, in what way, and in what incredible places - maybe this is the so-called guerrilla warfare.
In fact, it's not that Zhao Jun is too godly, it's just that Zhao Kuo's path is too wild, and now Zhao Jun has also learned the same way - the general can completely dismantle the hundreds of thousands of troops, why can't we break up these hundreds of people, there are two ambushes in this tree, and a few are hidden in that hole, just wait for the Qin army to pass, and then copy the back road of the Qin army.
Although for the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, this petty sneak attack could not hurt the Qin army's muscles and bones at all, but I have to say that this really disgusted the Qin army and delayed the Qin army's offensive rhythm even more.
It's just that such a delay is indeed the life of every guerrilla Zhao Jun.
Zhao Kuo only had time to teach his subordinates how to divide their troops to attack and harass, how to disgust the Qin army, and how to kill the most Qin troops, but he forgot to give them how to protect themselves and how to retreat after the killing.
Of course, perhaps, this is not the time to teach them these skills.
As a result, although the combat strength of the two armies was extremely different, and although the strength of the Zhao army's defense was far inferior to that of the Qin army's attack corps, the Qin army had to pay almost equal battle losses to the Zhao army every time it pulled out a node.
In order to ensure the combat power of the attacking legions, Bai Qi will not only rotate the attacking legions, but also replenish the troops in a timely manner after each legion loses thousands of soldiers. Of course, in this way, the troops besieging the Zhao army on the front line are naturally full of attack power, but the reserves in Bai Qi's hands are becoming fewer and fewer.
That's it, pull out a tooth, replenish some troops, and then pull out the next one......
Under the ruthless sweep of the attacking corps in the four directions of the Qin army, the position of the Zhao army became smaller and smaller, and the "broken teeth" on the battlefield became less and less, and the soldiers of the Qin army were also "tortured" by the Zhao army, and the morale, morale and combat power of the army gradually dropped to the freezing point.
If the day before yesterday, 15,000 elite soldiers of Yingyi's department were transferred out by the Zhao army and slaughtered in the valley, which had shown the Qin army the strength of the Zhao army's combat power, then today, the Zhao army's series of actions are telling the Qin army about its tenacity - if you want to destroy my Zhao country, have you grown your teeth?
Naturally, although most of the Qin soldiers are illiterate, anyone has a scale in their hearts, and the image of Zhao Jun's bad mess has already established in the hearts of the Qin soldiers. Of course, Zhao Kuo wants far more than that, as for the next step, he still has to wait until the end of this damn battle of the party.
The battles of "pulling out broken teeth" are everywhere, and the news of good or bad news is constantly being transmitted to the main camps of both sides.
Bai Qi sat expressionlessly in the big tent, and the heralds in front of him, one by one, took turns to report the news on the battlefield in the south.
"Report: Attack the army from the north, break through the position of the Zhao army, behead the Zhao army with 300 battles, and lose 270 soldiers."
"Report: Attack the legion from the west, break the position of the Zhao army again, kill the Zhao army in a hundred formations, and lose one hundred and twenty soldiers."
……
Bai Qi has no interest in these data, no matter how many battles and losses there are, it is just a group of indifferent numbers on the case file, just a simple feat on the battle report.
He just wanted to know how many of these hateful nails Zhao Jun still had, and how long he and his soldiers would have to go through the "torture"!
Finally, with Bai Qi personally mobilizing and deploying troops and horses, coupled with supplementary reinforcements to the attacking legions from time to time, the process of "pulling out broken teeth" was gradual
Hurry up, and as the Qin army gradually adapted to the Zhao army's style of play, the battle loss ratio between Zhao and Qin also increased suddenly, and more and more Zhao troops were slaughtered by more Qin troops. The battle loss ratio eventually stabilized between 1:5 and 1:2.
Faced with a better and better situation, Wu Anjun got up, and then gradually completely relieved himself. He believes that as long as it continues, within three or five days, the Zhao army will gradually lose its combat power due to the lack of food or the despair of helplessness, and this confrontation of strength, the damned "torment" will eventually evolve into the encirclement and annihilation war he originally wanted!
This is the law, and it is also the law of the battlefield, an iron law that does not depend on the will of Zhao Kuo or someone.
The truth is indeed as Bai Qi thought, Zhao Jun will soon be unable to afford it. At dusk, among the Zhao army, another lieutenant was killed, which was the first time that the Zhao army lost a senior general at the rank of lieutenant after the empty cangling.
The reason is very simple, the army under the command of this lieutenant has almost been wiped out, and the remaining dozen or so pro-soldiers are also wounded, maybe he can break through under the support of his pro-soldiers, but he chose to give up.
As for the reason for giving up, it may be the disappointment of the war, or the guilt of the people who died in the battle, or it may simply be the delay of the bloody battlefield.
No one knows, but one thing is for sure. Until the last moment of his life, Du Wei was still fighting hard! Even if he's seriously wounded!
He tore the military flag embroidered with his surname into rags, and then used the strips of cloth to tie his broken left hand, straighten his helmet, and take the only remaining soldiers, charge one last time, and wield a long knife one last time.
"Kill Qin Dog!"
The spear pierced his chest, leaving a trail of bright red blood, as bright red as the "Zhao" banner under the remnant sun.
Or, instead of giving up, he chose to sleep with his dear brethren in this hot land.
It's just a pity that as long as he holds out even one more night, he can wait for the reinforcements brought by General Lian Po, and then he can return to his hometown and reunite with his family......
The lieutenant is still difficult to survive, and the hardship of the soldiers below is self-evident.
But Zhao Kuo didn't panic at all, he knew that his goal had been achieved.
Although the broken teeth on the front line were pulled out quickly, and almost a position could only hold out for a quarter of an hour or two, it could not hold much of it! According to the current progress of the Qin army, without three or five days, it is impossible to break the "Broken Tooth Array" arranged by Zhao Kuo on the periphery.
Of course, five days is already the limit of the limit!
