The Battle of Changping Chapter 180 The drumbeat tempted the Qin army to chase
The herald looked at the yellow sand in the sky, where did he dare to delay for half a minute, turned his horse's head and headed west.
But no matter how fast the four-hoofed horse was, it could not be as fast as the sound of the wind coming away.
"Where are the drums?" Bai Qi, who was still deducing the battle in the barracks, suddenly heard the bursts of drums, although the sound was not loud, but in Bai Qi's ears, it was like a thunderbolt - the rapid drum beat was clearly the order of the general attack.
Total attack?
That's not right! Although his own reinforcements have already launched an attack, the Wei army's combat strength is still there, and the Zhao army is even more stuck between himself and the Wei State like a fish in the throat, and if he doesn't solve one of them, he can't order a general attack! And the decisive battle in the south will not need the drumbeat of this general attack!
If it's not your own drumbeat? So where did this drum beat come from?!
Wei Jun? Still, Zhao Jun!
A bad premonition gradually lingered in Bai Qi's heart.
Then the meteor strode out of the big tent, took three steps and made two steps, and climbed the watchtower vigorously, and as far as the eye could see, there was silence in front of his phalanx, and it was obviously not the Zhao army from the west that launched an attack.
Bai Qi's nervous mood was slightly relaxed, not to come to the Light Wolf City in the west. It's just that although the battle line in front of him was quiet, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing, as well as the sound of whimpering horns, still intermittently reached Bai Qi's ears.
Because of standing taller, the voice became clearer.
Slightly different directions, not the southeast, but the Zhao army in the north! Immediately, Bai Qi's heart gradually became settled.
"Zhao Jun is really good at picking the time!" Bai Qi chuckled in his heart.
Obviously, in Bai Qi's view, Zhao Jun was selling his teammates and using the Wei army to block the knife, taking advantage of the time when the Qin army was cleaning up the Wei army, he didn't want to break his own defense with the Wei army, but launched a general attack in the opposite direction of the Wei army.
The intention was clear: to break through from the north.
"Zhao Kuo, how short-sighted." Bai Qi muttered to himself, and then added, "Zhao Jun, how lucky."
short-sighted, it is said that Zhao Kuo ignored the interests of the two countries when the battle situation was unclear, and led the remaining Zhao army to flee the battlefield on his own.
In this way, the victory was almost handed over to the Qin army; The Qin army didn't even need to do anything, block it a little, and then occupy the camp of the Zhao army, and the Qin camps in all directions were instantly connected, and Sima Cuo's department no longer had to worry about being flanked, but tens of thousands of Wei troops were besieged by their own homes.
And once the Wei army is annihilated, what kind of waves can the remaining tens of thousands of Zhao troops make?
Rectify yourself a little and push it in the direction of Changping Pass and Guguan.
What's more, Zhao Jun treated the Wei army like this, and completely gave up the back of the Wei army to the Qin army, what does this make the country think, the Wei country is here to rescue you, not only are you not grateful, but you will use people as scapegoats with your backhand, just ask in this case, who else is willing to help such a treacherous army that uses the rescue of the allies as a stepping stone?
Luckily, it is said that Zhao Jun is fortunate to have such a general, otherwise the whole army will inevitably be in the cage of Shangdang.
But no matter what, Zhao Jun wants to escape, that's for sure.
If you want to escape, then don't let your plan succeed.
"Command the front army to test the attack on the position of the Zhao army." Although he had already judged Zhao Jun's intentions, Bai Qi still did not dispatch the whole army easily, but carried out his usual caution.
Seeing the benefits and knowing the end, this alone is enough for most generals to learn for a lifetime.
The tentative front army soon came with good news: the positions of the Zhao army almost did not resist, and they were all empty.
Bai Qi, who received the report from the former army, no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the 30,000 troops to divide into two routes, all the way to 10,000 people, directly behind the Zhao army, and follow and attack it; After breaking through the camp of the Zhao army, 20,000 people quickly turned to the south and joined Sima Cuo's troops.
That's right, Bai Qi still focused his forces on the side of the Wei army.
There is no special reason, it's just that the Wei army has more troops, and the results will be greater. As for the Zhao army that fled north, 20,000 troops before and after blocked it, and then it
With more than 10,000 elite pursuits, even if they escape, how much can they escape?
What's more, once he takes the Wei army in the territory, then there will be no one who can stop him from taking the Shangdang territory. And once the party is owned by Qin, Zhao will be like a lamb to the slaughter, ready to be slaughtered and killed at any time - or send troops to cut off the connection between Handan and Jinyang, and eat Zhao step by step, or go down to Handan, and swallow Zhao, all from the heart.
And once this Wei army is taken by himself, the last claws of Wei will be broken by himself - among the three Jin Dynasty, Han Zhiguo is already a waste, Zhao is about to become a fish and meat, and there is only one Wei left, if it is taken again, then Qin's eastward road will be unobstructed.
On the other hand, if a large army is sent to pursue the Zhao army, not to mention whether it can be caught up, even if it catches up, it is just to kill tens of thousands of more Zhao troops who will die, and the Wei army has the possibility of taking this opportunity to escape, then it is not good!
Therefore, it is clear that Bai Qi's decision is a decision to maximize the benefits of the known information.
It's a pity that the asymmetry of information is doomed to the incorrect decision. What Bai Qi didn't know was that even if he surrounded and wiped out the Wei army, he would not be able to escape the nightmare of the siege of the Zhao army, and only by capturing Zhao Kuo might be able to force the Zhao army to get out of the way.
So, Qin Jun's last chance to save himself quietly slipped away.
Bai Qi reacted quickly here, and Sima Cuo, who was closer there, also quickly discovered the abnormality of the Zhao army, and after a little thought, he did not arrange troops to pursue, but instead transferred all the thousands of troops on the side of the Zhao army to the side to deal with the Wei army.
He believed that what he could discover, Wu Anjun Bai Qi would definitely be able to discover, it was not his task to pursue, it was his responsibility to hold this place and drag the Wei army.
The increase in the troops of the Qin army under Sima Cuo quickly reflected on the combat strength, and the originally crumbling defense line suddenly became strong again, and several transfers of the soldiers met the great swordsmen of the Qin army, and the losses came up at once.
It really made Xin Lingjun feel distressed, of course, such a loss was not enough to shake Xin Lingjun's trust in Lian Po, after all, the tiger still had time to nap, and it was already dark, Lian Po had been tense for a day and a night, it was normal to be negligent, and it was possible for Qin Jun's blind cat to touch a dead mouse.
Of course, Lian Po is like a mirror for such a situation - it is not his own negligence, but that the Qin army has increased its troops!
