Chapter 359: Everything is back on track
Throwing the hot corpse of "Sima Cuo" to Pingyuanjun was obviously Zhao Kuo's best choice.
Even for Zhao Kuo, this corpse is a hot potato, but for the plain, it is an extremely rare sweet tooth. Of course, let Zhao Ping go back with the corpse, and there is no lack of meaning to show his martial arts to the people of Zhao again.
The identity of Sima Cuo here has been sorted out, and the rest of the Qin army, needless to say, Zhao Kuo can also know about it, and it is definitely not easy to match. It's just that when the command reported that the six hundred Qin troops were all sharp soldiers, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be stunned.
Without him, it's shocking!
I was shocked by King Qin's generosity again, and I was also shocked by the great harvest of this accidental battle, and even more shocked by the power of science and technology!
Qin Ruishi! That's Qin Ruishi! It is claimed that the 600,000 Qin army chose its 1,000 sharp soldiers! Even in the Battle of Changping, a slight estimate only caused it to lose three hundred, and now in a battle that is not large-scale, it can have such a gain.
This harvest is even worse than that of Sima Wrong.
Although Sima Cuo is also a famous general, he is very old in the end, and although he enjoys a high status in the Qin State, he is actually not irreplaceable, at least Wang Ji can replace him, not to mention the star-studded Qin State in the future. Of course, the premise is that the Qin State can survive this period of inactivity.
Therefore, in Zhao Kuo's eyes, killing Sima Cuo was more of a severe blow to the Qin army on the spiritual level, and the weakening of its actual combat power could actually be said to be minimal.
However, these 600 Ruishi are different.
On the battlefield, against these 600 sharp soldiers, he needs at least 6,000 elite troops to barely defend, at least 10,000 troops to be sure to fight with them, at least at a cost of no less than three or four thousand to redeem them, and even in this case, he has to sigh a fluke.
If these 600 Rui soldiers appear where they should be, it is very likely to change the course of a battle! The Battle of Yique is a typical example, hundreds of sharp soldiers rushed for hundreds of miles, and suddenly launched an attack from the flank and rear of the Wei army, completely disrupting the deployment of the Wei army, and the main force of the army took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and defeated the main force of the Wei army in one fell swoop.
But how can such an army that has repeatedly made military achievements be wiped out in the territory of Zhao State so easily. The death of the six hundred Rui Shi was not only a serious blow to the Qin army mentally, but also a weakening in the eyes of absolute strength!
It should be said that such a battle is due to his chance. If it weren't for the Qin army's insistence on killing Zhao Kuo, if it weren't for the Qin army's repeated underestimation of the Zhao army's combat power, the six hundred sharp soldiers would definitely not have been wiped out here.
Of course, this is not to say that there is anything wrong with Sima Cao's command. From the point of view of him and the Qin army's sharp soldiers, strangling Zhao Kuo was their first priority, and as for their own lives, they had long been put aside.
And in the face of the six hundred sharp soldiers, although their own soldiers have the help of heavy armor and stirrups, in the end, the combat power on the opposite side is already the ceiling of this era. At the cost of less than sixty people, in exchange for the life of six hundred Rui soldiers plus a veteran, so it seems that his own soldiers are doing a good job?
It seems that he has wronged his own personal soldiers. It's just that Zhao Kuo won't say anything more about his own soldiers, not that Zhao Kuo is also like King Zhao who is unwilling to admit his mistakes and other ridiculous reasons, but because Zhao Kuo knows that such a misunderstanding can make his own soldiers always maintain a sober and humble attitude, and this is the most important thing for Zhao Kuo.
The truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Zhao Kuo doesn't want to, and he doesn't need to test it again.
Subsequently, the discovery of the identity of the Qin army's sharp soldiers was not completely unhelpful for themselves. At least it was a hasty burial with a white cloth, but with a stroke of Zhao Kuo's pen, it became a coffin, but he worked hard to build a coffin for the Qin army.
Fortunately, with Zhao Kuo's father's experience, he was familiar with the coffin in the city, but in just two days, the coffin needed by the Qin army was made. Naturally, Zhao Kuo's record was the first to spread in the city, and with a record of 500 against 600, a complete victory, once again caused a sensation in the city. And "Clever Calculation"
The words were instantly loud and loud.
Of course, Zhao Kuo didn't take these common names to heart. His reputation has already been completely fought in the first battle of Changping, and now this "small victory" is just icing on the cake. If you want to go one step further and become a martial temple that truly surpasses all the generals of the Warring States and even enters the future generations, and leaves a strong mark in the history of China, the next war is the key.
Judging from the history of China, only those who have won big victories in foreign wars are truly recognized "famous generals". This is obviously not a good name, although it is also domineering enough, but if you replace the 400,000 Zhao people with Hu people?
After packing up the mood, the army repaired a little outside the city for another day.
Immediately, after the burial, Zhao Ping also took Sima Cuo's body to return to Handan, and Zhao Kuo finally continued to embark on the road to the north. At this time, there were only 400 soldiers left who followed Zhao Kuo.
After an autumn rain, the outskirts of the city have been renewed, the sweet smell of the air has been replaced by the freshness of the grass and trees, the gurgling blood has long seeped into the deep soil, the white bone corpses and the swords and blades of the ice forest have long been cleaned up by the soldiers of the Zhao army, and the ruts have been pressed one by one, and the soft land has been compacted one by one.
Everything went back to the way it was before, as if the thrilling battle had never happened. Perhaps only the birds in the forest and the cicadas and frogs on the side of the road are left, with their chirping voices, telling the resoluteness of that moment, the helpless sigh of that moment, and the past of the sword and sword......
Not to mention, Zhao Kuo's march was quite boring, and in Handan City here, as King Zhao delayed for a whole day before delivering the letter, Pingyuan Jun's eyes looked at King Zhao more and more wrong.
The envoy team of the Qin State has been in Handan for several days, and they were immediately controlled by the king after the king was asked by the king of Pingyuan, and the Qin people also cooperated, obediently hiding in the inn, waiting for the final result.
And with the Qin envoy being trapped, the news of the general's assassination also leaked out of nowhere, which made the already troublesome Plains Jun more and more uneasy.
