The land west of the river was originally the homeland of the Qin State.

After the three families were divided, Wei was the first to complete the change, but it was the first to take the land west of the Qin State. Locked the Qin State to the west of Hangu and was not allowed to go east for decades.

It was not until the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the Wei State was deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Central Plains and was continuously hit hard by the Qi State, which recaptured the homeland of Hexi.

Since then, Wei's power has been shrinking day by day, while the Qin State has become increasingly powerful, and the land west of the river has hardly allowed other countries to set foot in it.

When the Qin State took the land east of the river, it would be even more difficult for other countries to detain the Hangu Valley, and naturally, the territory of Hexi, which had experienced too many hard battles, finally ushered in its peaceful time.

It's just that this rare tranquility is now about to be broken by the 20,000 cavalry led by Sun Gu.

After Sun Gu entered Hexi, his primary goal was not Hangu Pass.

The reason is very simple, he did not come to defeat Hangu Pass, but to tell King Qin that the Zhao army was going to attack Hangu. The key to this is not to appear under the Hangu Pass, but to be able to escape after appearing in the Hangu Pass.

In order to achieve the goal of retreating with his whole body, Sun Gu placed the primary target of the attack on Pingshan City, an inconspicuous small city on the border of Hexi County.

Although this small city is simply not enough to accommodate more than 20,000 Zhao troops, it can be a sentry post for the retreat of the army.

The Qin army retreated westward, and if they wanted to rush back to Hangu quickly, this was almost the only way to go. A small town, of course, can't stop Qin Jun's iron hooves, but it can give Zhao Jun the purpose of calling the police.

That's enough!

Looking at the smoke rising in the distance, Sun Gu immediately took out the sword beside him, pointed in the direction of the small city, and said lightly:

"Attack!"

The long sword is unsheathed, and ten thousand horsemen are out horizontally.

Between heaven and earth, a torrent of black and red, stepping on the glory of the morning light, rushed towards this small city on the border of Hexi County.

The red flag, in the autumn sun, looks so dazzling and bright.

The soldiers of the Zhao army put on black armor and held the bright red battle flag of Zhao State, galloping on the fertile land in the Qin State Pass. The sound of the horse's hooves and the wanton shouts on the horse's back seem to tell their own legend to this land!

A military legend who has fought thousands of miles and attacked the heart of the enemy!

Come to think of it, even after a thousand years, you can still see the figure of this battle in various textbooks, and almost all of them are praise.

Some people will say that this is the ultimate use of cavalry tactics; There is no shortage of exaggerations, this is the great battle of the past and the present; Of course, the pedants will tell future generations that this is the watershed of Qin Zhao's attack and defense; Of course, there will be more people who sigh that this is a miracle in military history that can no longer be replicated!

As a participant and witness of this history, Sun Gu and the cavalry under his command obviously feel extremely honored and proud! Just like their mood when they charged at this time - running with the wind, Hanya is the direction!

For many years, only the Qin army has attacked other countries, and even if it was the Battle of Changping, where it was won, the place where it happened was still the territory of Han Zhiguo.

The homeland of Qin has not experienced the baptism of war for too long.

Outside Pingshan City, the city gate commander stretched lazily as always, and then found a comfortable position in the pergola on the side to prepare to make up for a sleep, and the soldiers under his command were either holding spears or long knives at their waists, lined up in two rows outside the city gate, and were methodically collecting the people's entry tax.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from afar, like the muffled thunder, and the people in the city thought that the sky had changed, and they looked at the sky, but saw that although the sky was a little dark because of the rising sun, it was indeed cloudless!

When the people were wondering, someone finally found a thin black and red line on the horizon!

In the end, it is the old Qin people, even if the land west of the river has been peaceful for a long time, but the blood engraved in the bones still makes many old Qin people react at the first time - the rumbling sound is not a thunderstorm, but a cavalry, a large number of cavalry!

"Cavalry! Look, a lot of cavalry!" People exclaimed

But there was more excitement than surprise in the words!

It's a pity that the Qin people, who haven't experienced a battle for too long, are still slack in the end.

Or maybe they're not surprised by it.

Although they had already heard the sound of a large number of cavalry galloping, they only thought that it was the movement of the Qin army.

A chief with a long sword at his waist quickly ran to the city gate commander who was resting, and reported with his hand, "My lord, a cavalry is coming!"

Hearing this, the city gate commander, who was still a little angry about getting up, lost his temper in an instant, and he got up and scolded: "Quick, line up, quickly send someone to notify the city guard to welcome the arrival of the army!"

With that, he returned to the gate of the city with the chief and began to form a team.

Obviously, inside and outside Pingshan City, from top to bottom, from officers to ordinary people, they all thought that the person who came was the cavalry of their own Qin State.

Of course, this obviously does not blame the laxity of the Qin people, who would have thought that a cavalry of the Zhao State could come to this land west of the river like a descend from the sky?

You know, for many years, only the Qin army has expanded its territory, and where have I seen other countries attack. What's more, there is no movement in Hedong at all. Where can anyone cross the east of the river and hit the west of the river?

As for the red color in the black, everyone just thinks that it is just a change of color under the sun.

Soon, the thin black-red lines became thicker and thicker, and the blood-red hidden in the black became more and more obvious.

Gradually, someone finally noticed the abnormality, after all, the red flag was a color that had never been used by any Qin army! It's just that even if he found an abnormality, that person didn't dare to say anything at all, in case he was mistaken, the anger of the army, and he and the small Pingshan City couldn't afford it.

And time passed quietly in hesitation, but Zhao Jun, who was hundreds of steps away, did not delay for a minute or a second, and was rapidly approaching the city.

Until, people clearly saw the blood-red banner with the word "Zhao" written on it!

"Zhao Jun!" Finally someone yelled in horror.

The soldiers and people outside the city gate woke up like a dream and found that the galloping cavalry was not their own Qin soldiers, but the old rival and old enemy Zhao Jun!

This discovery caught everyone off guard, the people were fine, scattered birds and beasts, but the Qin soldiers were suffering, not far away is the gate of the city, close the hope of life, but was scattered and blocked by the crazy people, one step away like thousands of miles.

The soldiers above the city gate obviously also noticed the abnormality, and hurriedly arranged for the soldiers, and also wanted to close the city gate from the inside.

It's a pity that it's already too late.

Just when the city gate commander pulled out his long sword and wanted to fight a bloody way back to the city, a long halberd was already on his shoulder, and the other end of the long halberd was Zhao Junxiao's general - Sun Gu!

Obviously, in his several years of intelligence career, Sun Gu's martial arts have not fallen.

There was no time to break out in a cold sweat, accompanied by the rapid speed of the horse, Sun Gu's right hand exerted a slight force, and the halberd in his hand was slightly horizontal, and the huge head of the city gate rolled down.

As for the city gate, the remaining dozen or so Qin soldiers also fell to the ground almost at the same time as the city gate order under the attack of the Zhao army.

With a charge, the enemy outside Pingshan City has been cleared. However, the cavalry of the Zhao army did not stop at all, and rushed straight to the city gate that was closing.

Looking at the few people behind the city gate pushing the heavy city gate hard, how could Sun Gu, who was quick-eyed, allow them to close the door so calmly?

The right hand lifted the halberd, exerted his strength, and threw the halberd out, only to hear a few sounds of "poof, poof, poof", and the right half of the city gate never moved again, it turned out that the halberd thrown by Sun Gu actually penetrated three people at a time, and the intestines and internal organs flowed along the wound, and instantly scared the soldiers on the right half away.

At this time, Sun Gu and his cavalry had already urged their horses to rush to the city gate, and along the city gate that had not yet been closed, they would kill the generals.

Sun Gu was holding a long knife, one on the left and one on the right, and the knife was fatal.

After a while, the city gate had been opened, and the Qin army inside the gate was killed and wounded, and there was no ability to resist. With only one face, the city defense of Pingshan City collapsed

。

The army that followed behind entered the city along the gate of the trousers, followed the city wall, and eliminated the enemy of the castle tower, which had been suppressed by their own archers.

Occupying the Sifang Tower, the army immediately continued to advance from the Sifang to the center, while eliminating the stubborn Qin soldiers in the city, while occupying the city guard mansion and arsenal.

In less than half an hour, the Zhao army completely occupied Pingshan City. This city, which has not been set foot by foreign troops for a hundred years, was finally hoisted with the bright red "Zhao" national battle flag.

The scattered people also brought the news of the Zhao army's attack to all parts of Hexi, and for a time Hexi was shaken, Hangu was shaken, and Qin was shaken......

Of course, there is also the gateway to Shangdang County in Zhao State-Yicheng.

The tug-of-war went on for another three days and three nights, and both sides had already invested too much in the flesh mill.

The losses of the Qin army have reached 20,000, you know, even if they have faced off with more than 200,000 coalition troops for several months and attacked each other several times, the losses of the Qin army are only more than 20,000 people.

In just a few days, under the defense of the Zhao army, the losses of the Qin army were already almost the same.

It's false to say it's not distressing.

But Wang Ji knew that he was uncomfortable, and Zhao Jun was the same.

Now it's a matter of who can hold on to the last quarter of an hour. His subordinates still have nearly 200,000 troops, and if they continue to consume, he can afford to consume them!

As the battle continues, Yicheng will only get better and better!

What's more, according to the news sent back by the Black Ice Platform, it seems that Zhao Guochaotang has just learned the result of the battle of Los Angeles, and it will take some time to deploy troops!

It's a pity that he guessed the front, but he guessed the back.

The Zhao army was indeed very uncomfortable, and the loss of troops was almost equal to that of the Qin army.

You must know that the Zhao army is the defender, and with the geographical advantage of the city tower, it is not much different from the Qin army's losses, which is enough to show the fierceness of the Qin army.

It's just that the 20,000 army is not a heavy blow to Lian Po, who has an army of 120,000.

What's more, according to the calculation of time, he should soon be able to receive news from General Li Mu......
