It has only been seven years since the Battle of Changping, but he didn't want Wei Zhao, who had been unanimously resisting Qin, to meet each other.

Of course, this is not uncommon in the Warring States, but Xinlingjun still can't help but feel a little emotional.

In seven years, Zhao State has changed from a small country that was bullied by Qin State to an existence that even Qin State was afraid of, and even dared to fight against Wei State if he united with himself.

But what about Wei?

It seems to be growing, but it still seems to be standing still.

The troops gathered throughout the country could only have the strength to fight with the weakest support army of the Zhao army.

Whether it's sighing or sighing, it's all a momentary feeling.

Xin Lingjun knew very well in his heart that the most important thing now was to take down the Zhao army in front of him, and then open up the contact with Daliang.

Without any hesitation, Xinling Jun immediately issued a war letter to Zhao Jun.

It stands to reason that Zhao Kuoman can delay for a day or two, after all, Daliang City may be able to be attacked by Tiandan in these two days.

But Zhao Kuo didn't do that.

The reason, on the one hand, Zhao Kuo doesn't want to pin his hopes of victory on someone else, even if that person is Tian Dan.

On the other hand, Zhao Kuo also knew that Daliang City was not so easy to break, even if Tiandan had the advantage of military strength, but it was the capital of Wei after all.

The best way is to defeat the Xinling Jun in front of him, and then take the Great Liang in one fell swoop with the momentum of a big victory, open up the connection with Yingchuan County, and then take down the Qin army with one blow.

Of course, from another point of view, instead of letting tens of thousands of temporarily conscripted troops face the elite Qin army in the first battle, it is better to use the slightly weaker Wei army to practice their hands.

As a result, Wei and Zhao almost hit it off.

Immediately, the two armies set up positions in the early morning and began the final unification battle of the Three Jin Dynasty.

It's just that to Xin Lingjun's surprise, Zhao Jun's team is not at all the same as he imagined.

The phalanx of infantry of the Chinese army, which should have been the thickest, was only a small piece, but the cavalry on the left and right flanks was almost two or three times the number of his own.

In fact, among the 120,000 troops brought out by Zhao Kuo from Handan, there were only more than 40,000 people.

There is no way, most of the troops collected by Lü Buwei are Hu people from Jiuyuan County, and among these Hu people, almost the vast majority are cavalry on horseback, and naturally in Zhao Kuo's hands, there are more cavalry than infantry.

In addition, among the 20,000 people who were assigned to Yicheng, 15,000 were foot soldiers, and among the 100,000 troops in Zhao Kuo at this time, there were only more than 25,000 foot soldiers, but there were many cavalry - more than 70,000 people.

The only good news is that these 25,000 foot soldiers are all elite troops brought by Zhao Kuo from Handan, even in the face of the Qin army, it is not the kind of elite army that is not false at all.

This is also the confidence of Zhao Kuo to dare to fight against Xinlingjun head-on.

Zhao Kuo's tactics are very simple, the frontal infantry is the main defense, and the flank cavalry is the main attack.

The key to victory or defeat is nothing more than to see whether the Wei army's infantry took advantage of the advantage of strength to break through the frontal defense of the Zhao army's infantry first, or the cavalry on the flank of the Zhao army took advantage of the wind to shoot the Wei army first.

And the moment Xin Lingjun saw Zhao Jun's arrangement, he also understood the key to victory.

Clearly, Xinlingjun doesn't think he will lose.

The reason is very simple, intelligence shows that Zhao Kuo's army was temporarily recruited, and its combat strength is weak.

Of course, this is no wonder that the intelligence personnel of Wei and Qin, after all, these more than 100,000 troops were indeed concentrated from the south and the north, and God knows that Zhao Kuo detained a full 30,000 troops in the second round of support.

In the face of such intelligence, Xin Lingjun was of course confident that he would be able to break through the position of the Zhao army first.

So, on the battlefield, both armies rushed to each other with full confidence.

Well, to be precise, it was the Wei army that launched a full-scale attack on the Zhao army, and the main infantry of the Zhao army was in place, not moving at all, and only the cavalry on the two wings also killed the Wei army in a mighty way.

Soon, the battle began as the commanders of the two armies had imagined.

On the battlefield on both flanks, the Wei army's foot soldiers, with the cooperation of the cavalry, withstood the impact from the grassland with difficulty.

Yes, the Hu people of the grassland are galloping on the battlefield to their heart's content, and at this moment, the excellent archery skills of the Hu people and the excellent military industry of the Zhao army are vividly displayed in front of the Wei army at this moment.

The cavalry that came and went like the wind, it was impossible for the foot soldiers of the Wei army to keep up.

The only way is to besiege the cavalry of the Zhao army that has slowed down under the resistance of his own cavalry.

It's a pity that it's okay to use this tactic once or twice, but after using it too much, it was quickly cracked by the Zhao cavalry.

Relying on the advantage of their own troops, the cavalry of the Zhao army faced the interception of the cavalry of the Wei army, and did not love to fight at all, so they turned around and ran to the other side.

Regardless of whether the Wei army pursued or not, there was another group of Zhao cavalry to kill and wound the Wei army from another angle.

In a short period of time, the Wei troops on both flanks were basically and completely in a defensive posture. To be precise, it is in a situation of being completely passively beaten.

It's just that Wei Jun still underestimated the archery skills of the Hu people from Jiuyuan County.

Obviously, there are already several round shields in front of him, but Zhao Jun's arrows can find the gap and drill into it fiercely, carrying fresh life.

Although the cavalry of Wei also tried to counterattack, in the face of the double advantage of Zhao's strength and combat power, Wei's cavalry could not take advantage of it at all.

In just over a quarter of an hour, the Wei cavalry had already suffered heavy losses.

And the infantry on both wings were also constantly reduced under the attack of the cavalry of the Zhao army. Almost every moment, dozens of Wei soldiers were killed by the arrows of the Zhao cavalry.

But this loss is not at all taken into account by Xinling Jun, who has an army of 100,000.

The cavalry of this era fought infantry, and without heavy cavalry, it could only be consumed in this way. It's not too slow, but it doesn't have anything to do with being fast.

Of course, if he had only been beaten passively like this, Xinlingjun would have withdrawn with his troops a long time ago.

The reason why they did not withdraw was really how much the Wei army on the flank was, and how arrogant the Wei army on the front was.

Yes, on the frontal battlefield, it was also as Xin Lingjun guessed: the infantry of the Wei army, relying on the superiority of troops, was also constantly compressing the front of the Zhao army.

Yes, to compress the front, and not to massacre.

Obviously, although Xinlingjun has also experienced several battles, he still has never fought on the battlefield with a knife, and he does not know much about the battles on the front line, and he does not understand the truth that "it is better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers".

Although the Zhao army was indeed retreating step by step, and there were many losses all the time, the same Wei army also suffered heavy losses in the attack, and even the losses of the Wei army were far above the Zhao army.

What's more, the retreat of the Zhao army was not in the slightest confusion. There is a good distance between the armies, between the teams, and even between the people, and the seemingly compressed formation still does not affect the strength of the Zhao army's battle formation.

It is not so much that the Zhao army was forced to retreat by the Wei army, but that Zhao Kuo was consciously shrinking his forces and retreating.

The reason why Zhao Kuo would do this was obviously that Zhao Kuo had seen through the Wei army's dependence.

And after retreating in this way, first, it can further firmly attract the attention of the main general of the Wei army, so that he has the illusion that "the advantage is mine";

Second, with the compression of the military array, the military formation of the Zhao army, which has fewer troops, has been further consolidated, and the combat power will only go to a higher level;

Thirdly, with the retreat of the military formation, the entire battle line was gradually lengthened, which could expose the Wei troops on both flanks to their own cavalry arrows, thus causing more damage.

It can be said that the tactical contraction and retreat of the Zhao army are almost beneficial and harmless for today's battlefield.

Of course, there are no pros and cons.

Although Zhao Kuo's action was beneficial to Zhao Jun in terms of actual effect, on the surface, it was still retreating.

if

Xin Lingjun was able to grasp this point, personally led the team to break through, and then rewrote the fake retreat into a real retreat, and the Zhao army would not only suffer heavy losses, but also its morale would fall to the bottom.

It's a pity that Xin Lingjun may be a good general, but he is far from being a fierce general.

He also did not have this wolf-like sense of smell on the battlefield, although his intuition told him to take the opportunity to attack and complete the breakthrough, but when it came to action, it became to continue to increase the pace of the offensive and break through the Zhao army's front as soon as possible.

Obviously, the gap between the two orders was almost greater than that of a heavy cavalry.

Naturally, Xin Lingjun failed to seize this only opportunity after all.

As a result, the scales of victory inevitably toppled in the direction of Zhao's army.

The saddest thing is that the initiative on the battlefield has changed hands, but the generals of one side still don't know anything, and even think that they have an advantage.

As time passed, by the end of the afternoon, the two armies of Wei and Zhao were completely strangled together like a huge nail driven into a stake.

The sharp nails pierced into the stake fiercely, and it was clear that there was only a little bit of veneer left, and the breakthrough could be completely completed, and Xin Lingjun also repeatedly forced the front line to break through the Zhao army's front, but on the contrary, he couldn't break the little veneer.

On the other hand, the wood on both sides is like a grinder that constantly consumes the thickness of the nails. Fortunately, the nails are thick enough, and the grinder is also slow, and for a while, I am not afraid of being worn clean.

is not the true face of Lushan, only because he was born in this mountain.

Xinlingjun has never been a fool, but he almost won a little in the face, and no one can easily give it up.

Even though he had faintly felt the pressure from the Zhao army on both wings, Xin Lingjun still fantasized about being able to completely break through the middle army of the Zhao army and capture Zhao Kuo alive.

As long as Zhao Kuo can be captured, the cavalry of the Zhao army will be ashamed without a fight;

As long as Zhao Kuo can be caught, he can force Zhao to cede land and sue for peace;

As long as you can pig Zhao Kuo, you can become a well-deserved number one player in the world.

......

Obviously, as the war progressed, Shinling-kun had gradually lost himself......
