A sudden attack caused the Qin army to lose a full 3,000 men and horses, and the Zhao army also paid the price of more than 1,000 people.

It should be said that in this skirmish, Zhao Jun almost ended in a complete victory.

But it is clear that the death of thousands of people is almost negligible in the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Of course, this loss is negligible, but the impact of this battle on the morale of both sides cannot be ignored.

Needless to say, Zhao Jun's hearty and proactive victory was enough to wipe out the negative emotions brought about by the death of General Lian Po; And for Qin Jun, it can be regarded as a long and wise eat.

Zhao Jun is still the same Zhao Jun, even if Qin Jun has a slight advantage, it still can't be underestimated.

The most obvious change in the Qin army was that before the arrival of the follow-up army, Wang Yi no longer dared to launch a full-scale attack on Xinzheng City with impunity.

It can be said that Li Mu used this small victory to forcefully pull Qin and Zhao back to almost the same starting line.

It's a pity that the Qin army, as the initiator of the war, still has the overwhelming initiative.

On the evening of the second day when Li Mu took the initiative to attack and repel the Qin army, the follow-up 50,000 troops of the Qin army rushed to the periphery of Xinzheng. The Qin army once again had a huge advantage in terms of strength.

A tragic offensive and defensive battle immediately began again in the city of Xinzheng.

Although Li Mu also has an army of 170,000 in his hands (after a few days of fighting, the casualties were around 10,000), don't forget, there are more than 40,000 of them, which are Tuntian soldiers, and their combat power is still much worse than that of the elite of the Qin army.

At least one and a half to two Tuntian soldiers can be worth one elite of the Qin army.

whereas

The more than 230,000 people in Wang Di's hands are all the elite of the Qin army.

The gap in combat power between the two is not just a literal 60,000. According to the two-for-one algorithm, the Qin army had a strength advantage of at least 80,000 or more.

Of course, the difference in combat power cannot simply be accumulated.

What's more, when General Lian Po was there, he had already split the 40,000 Tuntian soldiers into various armies, and with the leadership of elite veterans, the promotion of the Tuntian soldiers was also obvious and rapid.

Even, even if there is a gap of 80,000 or even 100,000 combat power, it would be a fool's dream for the Qin army to easily break through Xinzheng City, which has a strong city defense.

Everyone knows that the Qin army must have a backhand.

Qin Jun also knew that Zhao Jun knew that he would have a backhand.

But the two armies still fought to the death in Xinzheng City, and it seemed that both sides wanted to destroy each other at the head of this Xinzheng city.

In fact, the follow-up actions of the two sides have already begun.

Because Wang Yu launched an attack on Xinzheng City in advance, Meng Wei was also forced to speed up.

Obviously, Meng Fu also knew that Zhao Jun would definitely keep an eye on the movements of Hangu Pass, and in order to hide the actions of the army as much as possible, Meng Fu also took a lot of effort.

First of all, the entry and exit of the army from Hangu Pass were all arranged at night.

Secondly, in order to cooperate with the actions of the army, at night, Hangu Pass will also cooperate with the implementation of a strict curfew, there is no special road to obscure, and the rest of the people appear near Hangu at night and are all killed.

Finally, as soon as a large army leaves Hangu, a large army will be arranged to enter Hangu Pass.

Therefore, in the daylight, the Qin army in Hangu Pass has always been

There are no changes.

It's a simple trick, but it's effective against the toughest curfew ever.

Of course, if you use this method once or twice, or three or four times at most, you will be exposed.

The reason is very simple, a long curfew can easily arouse the vigilance of Zhao Guozuo in Hangu Pass.

Although some of the sneaking in the Hangu Valley at night can't be done, you can always find some clues on the several roads and even the mountains and forests after the Hangu Pass exits.

Of course, Meng Wei didn't understand, but on the contrary, he used this method to transport it

More than 10 times the troops.

Naturally, the whereabouts of this Qin army were still known by Zhao Jun's careful reconnaissance.

However, this is also the effect that Meng Fu wants to achieve. He just wanted Zhao Guo to discover his actions, but he couldn't let Zhao Guo find out too easily.

His 100,000-strong army was only the second blow of the Qin army, and it was not a fatal blow to the Zhao State.

Therefore, it didn't matter whether his actions let Zhao Guo know about it, and even in the case that Zhao Guo had already guessed that Qin Guo still had a backhand, it was better for Meng Yu's department to be exposed than not to be exposed.

Only when the Mengfu Department is exposed, the Zhao army's attention will be placed on the Mengfu Department, and the Wei State will be ignored who is secretly poking and probing the troops.

But the paradox is that if Zhao Jun is allowed to easily learn the whereabouts of the Mengfu army, then Zhao Jun will definitely suspect that the Qin army's backhand should not be exposed so easily, and it is inevitable that he will not think of the Wei side.

So, under this special requirement of "getting by", Meng Fu came up with such a "clever plan".

looks

Meng Fu was trying his best to cover up the army's attack, but in fact, he deliberately let Zhao Jun know his actions.

The point is, this flaw is still very cleverly sold.

Even after discovering the movements of the Qin army, Zhao Jun's scouts would be excited by their wit, and even more vindictively told Zhao Jun's decision-makers how difficult it was to come by this news.

This is exactly what Meng Fu wants.

In fact, the situation is indeed developing as Meng Fu hoped.

Yu Linwei in Hangu Pass finally figured out the purpose of the curfew, and then also found out the gathering of the Qin army, and reported the situation to Handan almost non-stop.

And Zhao Kuo, who received the news from Yu Linwei, did not have any doubts about this news.

I have to say that Meng Biao is a famous general, although he was covered up by Bai Qi and Wang Jian and others, but as the grandfather of Meng Tian and Meng Yi, Meng Ao's promotion is almost visible to the naked eye.

A "please enter the urn" like an operation successfully deceived almost everyone. Almost everyone thinks that his 100,000 army is the Qin army.

Of course, there are disadvantages to everything.

Although Meng Fu's actions successfully covered the existence of the Qin-Wei coalition army, it was inevitable that his 100,000 troops would also become the target of public criticism.

And what Zhao Kuo prepared for Meng Wei was an army of 100,000 led by Zhou Qi and Zhao Wei.

Yes, Zhao Kuo wants to fight against Hu with Chu, the grandson of King Qin.

Of course, Zhao Kuo was also helpless, not that he didn't want to send more troops, but he only had 30,000 mobile troops left.

Even if Zhao Kuo invested all the 30,000 seed troops at hand,

With 130,000 against 100,000, it is difficult to win in one blow.

And if these 30,000 troops are easily thrown out, the 80,000 troops recruited by Lü Buwei will be greatly reduced. It is even more difficult to end this war.

Rather than this, it is better to send 100,000 troops to resist the Qin army's rear hands, and when Lü Buwei returns from conscription, and then send 110,000 troops with the momentum of thunder to end the battle directly.

And the premise of all this is that 100,000 against 100,000, the Zhao army can withstand the attack of the Qin army.

In this regard, Zhao Kuo is not worried.

Although the 100,000-strong army lacks a handsome talent like Li Mu, Zhou Qi, as a general who has been valued by General Lian Po since the Battle of Changping, can be regarded as experienced in several years of war, even in the face of a veteran like Wang Di, it will not be much worse.

What's more, Zhao Kuo also put his biggest hole card - the heavy cavalry led by Zhao Wei into it.

In Zhao Kuo's thoughts, there are heavy cavalry to suppress the formation, not to mention defeating the Qin army, at least it will not suffer any losses.

As everyone knows, Zhao Kuo thinks so, and his opponent Meng Fu also thinks the same way.

The reason why Meng Fu dared to expose his troops to the eyes of the Zhao army was not because of anything else, but because of the three thousand heavy cavalry under his command that gave him confidence.

Yes, Qin Zhao

The confidence of both sides came from their respective 3,000 heavy cavalry.

Inevitably, the collision of this heavy cavalry will also bloom on this Qinzhao battlefield.

Soon, the 100,000 troops of the Qin State successively opened out of Hangu Pass, and completed the assembly in the vast Hexi region, and then replenished enough food in Hedong County, and then thought about the established battlefield

Kill the past.

Almost at the same time that the Qin army had completed its assembly in Hexi County, Zhao's army had also completed its assembly in Handan County.

After Zhou Qi and Zhao Wei said goodbye to Zhao Kuo, they also killed Luocheng in a mighty way.

I have to say that Zhao Jun was lucky, or maybe it was the blessing of General Lian Po in the spirit of heaven, and not long after Zhou Qi led the army to pull out, the news of the death of General Lian Po on the front line reached Handan City.

It's such a coincidence, even if it is late or even a day, the army that is drawn is bound to have a huge impact.

However, this news was half a day later than the start of the army.

It was also this half-day time that ensured the morale of the army led by Zhou Qi.

Although Lian Po's death really cast a shadow on Handan City, fortunately, Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Jun were also prepared for this, but it did not cause much impact.

It can be said that under a series of coincidences and deliberate arrangements, Zhao Kuo has minimized the impact of General Lian Po's death.

As for the front line, it can only depend on the on-the-spot performance of the generals he sent.

From Handan to Shangdang, and then to Yingchuan, almost every point in time coincided with the marching node of the Qin army.

At the same time that the Qin and Zhao armies entered the land of the Zhou Dynasty, the two armies already knew about the existence of the other party.

Even the forces in the hands of the other side are scouting each other.

However, for Zhao Jun, the best plan is to enter Los Angeles quickly, so that he can not only take advantage of the city, but also get a supplement of 40,000 troops.

For the Qin army, letting the Zhao army enter the city is obviously not a good plan.

Even if it's just a ministry

It's a fake backhand, but since it's a backhand, you can't turn a blind eye to Zhao Jun, who came to help.

In particular, Meng Fu also had heavy cavalry in his hands that were very suitable for the plain breakout.

Naturally, for the Qin army, intercepting the Zhao army before Los Angeles and having a hearty field battle with the Zhao army would be the best plan in the hands of Meng Fu.

Even if you can't wipe out all of the Zhao army, you have to make the Zhao army pay a heavy price.

So, quietly, the Qin army began to accelerate......
