Battle of Changping Chapter 179 The Zhao army broke through on the North Road

Just as the heralds of Jin Contempt had left, the reinforcements sent by Lian Po had already arrived.

Six thousand seven hundred and eighty-two people, looking at this number of reinforcements, Jin Wei knew that this was the last reinforcement that General Lian Po could send.

The three-pillar wolf smoke is not only a signal for reinforcements to attack, but also a signal to increase the confidence of the Qin army in the encirclement. I'm afraid that the war with General Lian Po won't be too smooth now. To be able to squeeze out thousands of reinforcements, it would have been a lot of effort for General Lian Po to think about it.

It's just that understanding is understanding, and the battlefield will not change its laws because of a word of understanding. Jin Contempt is clear: just now his own strength is superior, and he can only fight a draw with the Qin army, but now the Qin army has increased by tens of thousands of cavalry, and the combat power has almost doubled, but he only has less than 7,000 reinforcements, how can he fight?

But if you can't beat it, you have to fight!

The periphery has all fallen into the hands of the Qin army, and even if you want to break through, you can't get it. can only be hard with the Qin army, depending on whether General Lian Po breaks through first, or whether the Qin army is broken first.

At this point in the battle, Jin Contempt, as a general under the desperate protection of General Long Jia, had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he had actually vaguely predicted the outcome of this battle in his heart - the Wei army would not be the opponent of the Qin army after all, even with the help of the Zhao army.

From the perspective of Jin Contempt, the reason for the failure of this battle may still be attributed to itself: because of his own king, whether it is Xinling Jun, because of various reasons, his own army was sent too late, which in turn caused the Zhao army's combat power to weaken too much, and it was unable to form a greater threat to the Qin army.

Such a large-scale battle, to the weak Wei army to play the leading role to resist the Qin army, even if it is a fierce battle for a long time, the combat strength of the Qin army, the Wei army is still not an opponent, obviously at the beginning of this battle, the Wei army from top to bottom is a little too confident.

But these thoughts, Jin Contempt can only be silently buried in the bottom of his heart, whether it is the defeat or the reason for the defeat, Jin Contempt can only bury it deep in his heart - the death of General Long Jia, Jin Contempt does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past - and work against the leader, there is no good end.

The only thing Jin can do now is to do his best to save even the slightest glimmer of hope for the almost impossible victory of Wei.

"Herald: Shrink the line!" Looking at the cavalry of the Qin army that was constantly shooting in the distance, Jin Contempt ordered with some helplessness.

"Yes!" A herald took the order, and then the blue banner in the rear army rolled, and the Wei army retreated after hearing the order, and soon abandoned the outer positions, and the entire defensive circle shrank in a large circle.

Jin Contempt's actions like this, especially in the face of the cavalry, are actually a bit counter-intuitive. The shrinking of the defensive circle not only gave up the depth of his already small number, not to mention the lack of a defensive line, but also increased the density of his army a lot, which also gave the cavalry army a better space to play.

Of course, Jin Contempt naturally has his reasons for doing this.

In the face of the cavalry of the Qin army, it was impossible for him to attack without cavalry, and instead of letting the Qin army shoot our army at will on a wider front, it was better to shrink the army and thus reduce the front. In this way, if the Qin cavalry comes to attack, because of the reduction of space, our army's bows and crossbows will also be targeted, although they cannot repel the Qin army, but they can still cause certain threats and losses to the Qin cavalry.

At the same time, the shrinkage of troops is also more conducive to the Wei army, which has weak individual combat ability, to block the elite of the Qin army.

To put it simply, Jin Contempt's style of play is to use space and the lives of Wei soldiers to delay the Qin army's breakthrough of the rear camp as much as possible.

I have to say that as the last general of Wei, Jin Contempt still showed the demeanor of a general at the most critical time. It's a pity that his opponent is the Qin army, the Qin army that makes the six countries look sideways.

The three pillars of wolf smoke completely ignited the last fire of life of the Wei and Qin armies, and just when Wei Qin was fighting to the death under the wolf smoke of the main battlefield in the southeast, the Zhao army that was besieged in the center also moved with the wolf smoke's order.

That's right, because the tanma couldn't reach too far, Zhao Kuo couldn't know the itinerary of the Qin army, and Zhao Kuo, who was worried that the Qin army might turn back at any time, chose the most appropriate time - when the Qin army launched a general attack on the Wei army.

However, now that the means of communication are limited, the Qin army wants to move at the same time, and there is no hindrance

There were several methods such as horns, flags, and wolf smoke, and combined with the wolf smoke at noon, Zhao Kuo judged that it was very likely that the Qin army would continue to use wolf smoke as a signal to launch an attack on the Wei army.

So, "The wolf smoke rises, and the army is out!" The order was passed to the ears of every soldier of the Zhao army.

Of course, the order given to the soldiers of Zhao was not to retreat, but to attack north and return to Changping Pass for repairs!

Slogans such as "Fight back to Changping Pass" were also spread immediately. It's just that in the eyes of a discerning person, it is natural to understand: the army is about to retreat. Of course, people with such a heart and eye will naturally not easily say these words.

It's just that Zhao Kuo counterattacked the Qin army with such fanfare, and it was obvious that he would encounter the Qin army's strong resistance, and the losses would be so great that it was known without a fight.

But Zhao Kuo had no choice.

It's urgent! Only by sacrificing one part can the other part be saved, which is difficult to complete.

Nearly 60,000 troops counterattacked together, and the Qin army, which was still in an offensive posture just now, was suddenly a little stunned! How come Zhao Jun still has so many troops? How did they know that for this blow, Zhao Kuo had gathered all the soldiers on all sides together, and this blow was the strongest and final blow.

Zhao Kuo understands the truth of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions.

Once a blow fails, with the old way of Bai Qi, he will soon find out his intentions, and there is no need to go to the southern battlefield to reinforce the army, as long as the army in the west sticks to his rear army, then his 60,000 remnants, I am afraid that less than 10,000 people can successfully escape. Even I have to explain myself here.

So, there is no point in defending.

What you want is to take advantage of its unpreparedness, concentrate all your strength, and fight your way out with an absolute crushing posture. When Bai Qi reacted, it was too late to send troops to pursue.

The terrain in the north was also an important factor in Zhao Kuo's decision, unlike the southeast, the terrain of Shangdang was wider and wider the terrain to the north, and the wide front gave the Zhao army enough space to expand, and also made the Qin army, which was short of troops, unable to defend itself.

The order flag waved, accompanied by the wolf smoke and remnant sun in the sky, the 60,000 Zhao army formed six roads, each according to the formation of the arrow, and rushed towards the Qin army.

In an instant, the sound of war drums was as muffled as thunder, tens of thousands of people hissed and shook the world, and thousands of people stepped on the yellow sand in the sky.

"Quick report to Wu Anjun: Zhao Jun assaults the North Road!"
