Chapter 674 Xinzheng City Outside the City to Attack the Korean Army

To be precise, at the first glance when Zhao Kuo saw Li Mu's plan, he had already fallen in love with this plan.

And what Zhao Kuo wanted, even more than Li Mu wanted, Li Mu's 45,000 main force went to eat the 25,000 people of the Qin army, and the 25,000 people in Zhao Kuo's hands should naturally eat the 30,000 people of the Han army.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo woke up the sleeping army, and took advantage of the night to drive in the direction of the south of Xinzheng City. And taking advantage of the preparation of the army, Zhao Kuo also agreed to return it to Li Mu's soldiers who came to deliver the letter.

After more than an hour after the Korean army crossed the border, a fast horse appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes.

There was no way, in order to avoid encountering the Korean army on the way, Zhao Kuo specially instructed the soldiers to take a detour, preferring to be slower than to let the Korean army find out about the accident.

After seeing the word "agree" on the silk book, Li Mu was also determined in his heart.

It's just that what Li Mu didn't know was that Zhao Kuo didn't lead the troops to prepare to block the return of the Korean army as he thought.

In fact, the 25,000 army under Zhao Kuo has been divided into two parts, one of 5,000 people has blocked the south of Xinzheng City as a rear army, and the other 20,000 people have followed Zhao Kuo's Daxu and killed the Han army mightily.

Standing in the early morning sun, Zhao Kuo held the long knife in his hand high, and the warm sunlight reflected on the sharp blade, but it was a little cold light.

The bright red Daxu behind him immediately understood, and the black Zhaozi banner slowly rose.

The 20,000-strong army immediately unsheathed its swords, and the sound of metal was endless; The bow was wound, and the heavy wooden vessel creaked and roared; The shield was raised, the spear was slightly flattened, and a roar resounded throughout the field; The cavalryman stroked his body slightly, and pulled down the blindfold of the warhorse, and in the fear of the dark instinct, the warhorse fluttered its hooves and made a clattering sound.

The long knife slashed, Zhao Kuo lightly clamped the horse's belly, and flew out;

Daxu is tilted, which is the direction in which Zhao Kuo set off.

That is, Da Xulai took hundreds of cavalry around him and closely followed Zhao Kuo's war cavalry and set off.

At the same time, the whimpering trumpets finally sounded, and the beating of drums immediately destroyed the movements of the remaining soldiers.

In an instant, the dust in the south of Xinzheng City was splashed, and the sound of killing was all over the sky.

Hundreds of elite cavalry led by Zhao Kuo naturally rushed to the forefront of the team, and spears were the best weapons in their hands. The spear was leveled in the hands of the cavalrymen, the body was slightly lowered, the legs were tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and the deep gaze stared straight at the big in front of him, speeding up, speeding up, speeding up again;

The light cavalry on both flanks was immediately activated, and they were not only the absolute main force attacking the infantry-based South Korean army, but also the main responsibility for encircling the South Korean army and completely annihilating the South Korean army. or the long knife hung slightly, or the bow was pulled sideways, and a full 4,000 cavalry rushed out, divided into left and right roads, closely followed the elite cavalry in front, and rushed straight towards the Korean army.

Then there were the largest number of foot soldiers, shield soldiers, jumping soldiers, and spearmen, a total of 10,000 people, lined up at once, boundless. All kinds of troops formed a phalanx in the march, marching neatly, following the cavalry in front of them, and advancing quickly.

Finally, there are long-range attack forces such as archers and crossbowmen, which are significantly slower to move under the encirclement and protection of infantry.

The entire formation of the Zhao army has been fully displayed in the heaven and earth, and the echelon configuration of each arm is carried out, with heavy cavalry impacts in front and infantry soldiers in the back, arrow rain attacks in the air, and light cavalry attacks on both wings, forming a three-dimensional compound strike.

The 20,000 army, like a sharp arrow, pierced the Korean army that was still on the march.

Listening to the sound of thunder in the distance, and looking at the sun slowly rising in the sky, the generals of the Korean army quickly realized something...

"Enemy attack!" Almost instantly, the general of the South Korean army had already shouted.

It should be said that the reaction of this general of the Korean army cannot be unpleasant, and it is obvious that he has grown a lot after the Battle of Los Angeles.

It's a pity that no matter how fast he reacts, the long marching column will not have time to adjust the formation.

On the contrary, his roar made the entire marching column of the Korean army chaotic - the front army heard the general's roar and quickly adjusted

The formation was ready to resist the enemy's charge, but the soldiers of the middle and rear armies who had not been able to get the general's orders continued to march with their heads bored.

As a result, the formation that had not yet been formed by the front army was quickly dispersed by the swarming officers and men of the middle army and the rear army, and the officers and men of the middle army and the rear army, after being intercepted by the front army, were stunned in place.

The army of Zhao has not yet been seen, and the entire camp of the Korean army is already in chaos.

"Don't mess around!"

"Defend yourself!"

"Quick! Be fast."

Not only the soldiers at the bottom of the Korean army, but even the commander-in-chief couldn't help but panic. While saying not to mess around, he was urging the soldiers to be "fast".

It's a pity that the Han army under his command is not as elite as the Qin army after all, and in the slightly contradictory orders of the main general, the Han army officers and soldiers quickly lost their minds.

With a chaotic formation and a panicked mentality, the South Korean army is already on the verge of collapse.

At this time, under the sun, a black line slowly appeared on the edge of the sky, and then, a little cold light appeared in the eyes of the chief general of the Han army.

Seeing that the enemy army had appeared, and his army had not even adjusted its defensive formation, a sense of despair instantly filled his heart.

Just when the commander of the Korean army wanted to close his eyes and quietly wait for the arrival of death, he suddenly thought, no, we still have reinforcements!

Immediately, the commander of the Han army called his own soldiers and said, "You, hurry, quickly spread the Qin army, our army was attacked by the main force of the Zhao army, please come to the aid quickly!"

"You, hurry to Xinzheng, and ask me to send reinforcements quickly." Facing another pro-soldier, the commander of the Korean army ordered again.

"Yes." The two pro-soldiers beside him immediately agreed.

Obviously, in order to survive, the main general of the Han army has already been released, whether it is the Qin army in the rear or the Han army with only a few thousand people in Xinzheng City, it has become his lifeline.

With the departure of his own soldiers, the commander of the Han army had already seen the word "Zhao" on the bright red daxu.

Fortunately, with the unremitting efforts of the generals of the South Korean army, the formation of the South Korean army finally squeezed out a defensive front slightly before the Zhao army rushed forward.

The voices of "defense" are almost one after another.

It's a pity that soon the voice of the Han army was covered by the sound of killing in the distance.

"Archers!" Seeing that the Zhao army had reached the attack range, the commander of the Han army immediately roared angrily.

It's a pity that only a few small phalanxes of his archers have been prepared. With the order of the commander-in-chief of the South Korean army, only a few arrows rained out of the South Korean army.

The reason why the arrow rain is strong is that it needs an impenetrable majesty, but unfortunately, the arrow rain of the South Korean army has no power at all. Naturally, this "careless" rain of arrows could not hurt Zhao Jun at all.

Even, after Zhao Jun saw the rain of arrows shot by Han Jun, he was even more confident.

Clearly, Zhao's raid worked.

Immediately, the long knife in Zhao Kuo's hand was horizontal, and all the cavalry immediately lined up.

More than 4,000 cavalry actually bypassed the potholed front of the South Korean army and went straight to the left and right flanks of the South Korean army.

On the one hand, this was the battle plan of most of the cavalry army when there was no saddle, and on the other hand, seeing that the formation of the Korean army was in chaos, Zhao Kuo was obviously running towards the goal of leaving all the Korean troops behind.

Looking at the division of the cavalry of the Zhao army in front of him, for some reason, the chief general of the Han army even had a trace of happiness in his heart.

There is no way, what the current Korean army needs most is time, and they must delay enough time to let the Qin army in the rear and the Han army in Xinzheng City come to help.

The Zhao army outflanked both flanks, and the Korean army naturally faced the danger of being completely surrounded, but on the other hand, it also avoided the danger of being defeated by the Zhao army.

Therefore, even after seeing the Zhao army's bypass, the main general of the Korean army did not have any reaction, and was still stubbornly adjusting his defensive formation.

Just when the Han army was finally about to organize its one-word long snake formation into the most suitable formation for defense, Zhao Jun's

Rain of arrows, it's here!

Unlike the sparse arrow rain of the Han army, the arrow rain of the Zhao army is so large and dense.

Although the archers of the Zhao army were only 5,000 people, these 5,000 people were gathered together, and after a round of arrow raindown, the already jagged front of the Han army instantly became more and more potholes.

Immediately, after determining the superiority of the front line, the rain of arrows of the Zhao army directly crossed the already devastated front line and directly hit the archer phalanx that had not yet been formed in the rear.

There were only 5,000 archers, but they were directly suppressed so that the tens of thousands of bows and arrows of the Korean army could not be moved.

Finally, after several rounds of arrow rain, Zhao Kuo's Daxu finally reached the front of the Han army's foot soldiers.

The long knife in his hand waved, like a sickle slashing through wheat straw, a blood mist flew up, and several lives were harvested in an instant.

The infantry of the Han army also tried to wield their spears and swords, but unfortunately, with the tacit cooperation of Zhao Kuo's personal soldiers, the spears and swords could only be smashed on a wooden shield covered with iron sheets.

Even if he was lucky enough to break into it, he was blocked by the fine armor on Zhao Kuo's body, and he couldn't hurt Zhao Kuo at all.

Although the counterattack of the Korean army is very weak, it cannot stand the foot soldiers of the Zhao army, and there are many other people in the Korean army.

Although Zhao Kuo and his personal soldiers rushed left and right, the Han army still continued to rush in the direction of Zhao Kuo. Only three people were killed here, and five more people arched in over there.

Immediately, the shallow marks on the shield and armor also became deeper and deeper under the continuous knocking, and even the marks of different shades finally merged into shallow gaps.

Ants bite elephants to death, that's what it says.

Just when the gap was about to become a hole, Zhao's foot soldiers finally arrived at the battlefield.

Then came Zhao Jun's turn.

Because of the pull of Zhao Kuo and his own soldiers, the already chaotic Korean army front was weakened more than once.

The follow-up Zhao army's foot soldiers, seeing their king tear up the gap for them, were all crazy, almost desperately exchanging injuries for lives, life for land, and desperately advancing towards the Han army.

Of course, in the face of the weak Korean army, this style of play is somewhat wasteful, but it is also very suitable.

It was just a blink of an eye, and the defense line that the Han army had managed to put together had been broken through by the Zhao army.
