Although the wisdom of the peerless ghost is not as good as that of ordinary people, it has a perception beyond ordinary people.

The Wushuang ghost didn't know the art of war, but before he fought, he said that Sergeant Zhao was a fledgling and a weak brigade, because he couldn't feel the killing intent from Sergeant Zhao, and the battlefield lacked the murderous aura like gunsmoke.

After being awakened by the Wushuang Ghost, Wang Ben immediately took the Wushuang Ghost to the front camp to inspect the Zhao army formation surrounding the Qin army camp.

It seems that the military formation is tight, but the sergeants in the formation are faintly commotion, obviously those young people who have not been trained for a long time, I am afraid that it has taken a long time to form such a surrounding army formation, and now it is even more difficult to maintain the military formation.

To put it bluntly, there is a group of recruit eggs on the other side.

The people of Zhao are fierce and full of martial virtues, so the Zhao army on the opposite side is a new pawn, but it is still strong, but that is only a single soldier's combat ability.

Not to mention that after receiving the enemy on the battlefield, after seeing blood, there are several layers of combat effectiveness that can be exerted, and the most important thing on the battlefield is by no means the bravery of individuals, in addition to those forces that can affect the battle situation with the power of one person, what is more important is a army, a tithe, and a tun...... This small group of Qin troops formed within and with each other.

The calculation of military merits in the Qin army's theory of merit makes it possible for even the Qin soldiers and soldiers of each army to form a separate team to form a cooperation.

The same ten people fighting, and the ten people who can form a military formation and cooperate with each other can usually torture and kill ten people who have no cooperation and fight separately.

What's more, veterans who have seen blood and killed people on the battlefield can still torture and kill new pawns even if their physical fitness may not be as good as that of new pawns.

Combat effectiveness is not only the level of personal martial arts, but also includes psychological quality, experience and many other aspects, otherwise veterans will not be the sweets in the armies of various countries, and Wei does not have to create a military pawn system, and the old pawn will bring the new pawn to cultivate the combat quality of the new pawn as quickly as possible.

And what kind of soldiers were the 25,000 troops under Wang Ben's command?

Among them, 15,000 people are border troops who have been fighting with the Zhao army all year round, and their combat effectiveness is naturally needless to say. The other 10,000 people are the armor-piercing soldiers of the hundred battles trained by Wang Qian, and their combat effectiveness has surpassed that of the Lishan battalion, the veteran elite of the Qin State for hundreds of years.

Moreover, last year, the armor-piercing soldiers of the hundred battles were also equipped with a crossbow developed by the public loser, which can load a certain number of crossbow arrows into the arrow warehouse at the same time, and can shoot continuously without manually changing the arrows, which has become the standard equipment of the armor-piercing soldiers of the hundred battles.

Not only that, but the Hundred Battles Armor Piercing is also equipped with a Hundred Battles God Crossbow with an even greater lethality and damage range, which can be quickly assembled by several skilled soldiers.

After the mother arrow is fired, the internal spring design can be used to separate the arrow into twenty crossbows in mid-air.

The loser built a total of 300 Hundred War God Machine Crossbows for Wang Qian, and 100 of them are now in Wang Ben's camp.

Combined with the deep ditches and high bases dug and piled up by Wang Ben outside the Qin army's camp earlier, even if the 25,000 troops were wiped out, Wang Ben was confident that the corpses of the Zhao army would fill the trenches and camps.

After figuring out these things, Wang Ben suddenly became less worried.

These new soldiers of the Zhao army can only fight in the field, and if they have no experience in attacking the new soldiers who have no experience in attacking the Qin army, which has already arranged many defense facilities, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and even if they can be captured, it will make the morale low, and if the main force of the Qin army on the west road attacks the Zhao army with leisure and labor, then the Zhao army will inevitably be defeated.

Therefore, Wang Qian's most stable means is to press the army, and Wang Ben provokes the Zhao army to fight a tough battle, and the grain and grass in the large battalion under his command have a full hundred days, which is enough to stalemate with the Zhao army here, and it is the Zhao army that will fall into the disadvantage if the stalemate continues.

At that time, he will come to wear down the morale of the Zhao army through defensive battles, and Wang Jian will take him as the center to counter-encircle the Zhao army, and wait for work, even in the face of Li Mu, he will not be able to fight a big victory in the annihilation war!

He is even looking forward to Zhao Jun coming to attack the fortified position now, where is this dead land, it is clearly a blessed land!

"Put it to death and live later, the ancients will not deceive me!"

Wang Ben laughed, and the laughter gradually infected the Qin soldiers who were on duty.

However, Wang Ben didn't expect that Wang Qian, who had always been calm and stable and seeking victory, did not seem to be worried about his situation at all.

And on the battlefield on the southern front five hundred miles away

The direction of the battlefield was also somewhat beyond Wang Qi's expectations, but it was still under control.

As the general of the Zhao State, Hu Yu knew that the field battle of these 100,000 new soldiers of the Zhao State was impossible to match with the Qin army, which had always been good at positional warfare, not to mention that the number of the Qin army was still twice as large as theirs.

Therefore, Hu Yu sent 30,000 people to meet the Zhao army that escaped from Zhongmu and Yecheng, and then withdrew towards the Great Wall of Zhao with the Zhao army of Pingyang and Wucheng, and would rather decisively abandon the four cities than fight with the Qin army.

However, after Wang Qi sensed Hu's movements, he was even faster than Hu's march, and stopped 100,000 Zhao troops on the bank of Zhangshui.

Hu led his army to storm the Qin army's defense line three times, but was repulsed.

"Hmph, back then, Wu Anjun surrounded 450,000 people with 500,000 people, and almost built that ancient and modern encirclement network with a force ratio of 1 to 1."

Wang Qi stood on a high place, looking at the Zhao army who was trying to attack the Qin army's defense line to cross the river at night, his tiger eyes were full of pride, and he pointed to the battlefield to Yang Wengzi beside him: "Although the old man does not have the ability of Wu Anjun, but with the same number of people, if he can't just intercept the Zhao army to cross the river, he will not be able to face Wu Anjun in the future." ”

"Yang Wengzi, I'm optimistic about how the old man will deploy troops."

Yang Wengzi was stunned when he heard this.

Today's young and strong faction lacks generals who can command large corps to fight.

So far, only Zhang Ji has the experience of commanding an army of 100,000 people, and only these generals of the older generation have the experience of commanding an army of more than 100,000 people.

These experiences are completely different from those described in the book, and they are what these veteran generals have learned in their lifetimes of leading the army to fight, and they are more specific and realistic than those in the war books, and they are precious to these young people.

Among the older generation of generals of the Qin State, the one with the most combat experience in commanding a large corps is none other than Wang Qi, who has actually commanded 400,000 Qin troops to confront top generals like Lian Po in Changping, and defeated Lian Po one after another.

Wang Qi's experience in commanding a large army is a great creation for any soldier, and it is a temptation that no one can resist, but Yang Wengzi still hesitated for a moment.

"General, I am not related to the general, so I should not accept this favor."

Yang Wengzi gasped, trying to get the temptation out of his mind, and the appearance of restraining desire and temptation fell in Wang Qi's eyes, which made Wang Qi more satisfied, but this did not affect Wang Wengzi to directly kick Yang Wengzi down the small slope.

Yang Wengzi, who didn't know why, rolled down the small slope with his head covered, lay on the ground blankly, raised his head and looked up at Wang Qi on the small slope.

This is a towering earth slope protruding from the ground, and there is a small slope on top of the soil slope, and the height difference between the soil slope and the small slope is only more than one zhang, which can not hurt Yang Wengzi at all, at most it makes him eat some ash and look embarrassed.

"Idiot, you know that you are not related to the old man, and it is not good to ask for it?" Wang Qi was very satisfied with Yang Wengzi's temperament, but he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Wengzi's sluggishness, and took a sip, "I don't have the ability to see things." ”

A few generals on the side couldn't help laughing, and their own general almost wrote the word "apprenticeship" on his face, but Yang Wengzi still didn't react, but Wang Qi has been proud all his life, except for Wu Anjun Baiqi, no one can make him bow his head, how can he take the initiative to accept apprentices?

Old people want to save face!

A young general beside Yang Wengzi hurriedly helped him up, looking anxious in his eyes.

He is Yang Wengzi's nephew Yang Xiong, although his generation is a generation worse than Yang Wengzi, he is only five years younger than Yang Wengzi, after all, Yang Duanhe is an old man.

Yang Xiong was more flexible than Yang Wengzi's brain, and whispered in Yang Wengzi's ear: "Uncle, the old general intends to take you as an apprentice, hurry up and apprentice!" ”

Anyway, regardless of the problem of this uncle and nephew, one knee hit Yang Wengzi's leg joint, and Yang Wengzi, who was suddenly hit hard, knelt down.

The sudden pain and Yang Xiong's words made Yang Wengzi finally react, and kowtowed to Wang Qi three times, but still said that the matter of apprenticeship must be discussed with his father Yang Duanhe, and it can't be so hasty, which is disrespectful to Wang Qi and a faux pas for the Huayin Yang family.

Looking at Yang Wengzi, who didn't eat oil and salt, the rest of the people were silent, but Wang Qi, who had always been arrogant, was a little bit of a helper.

Respect in words and deeds can be performed, but Yang Wengzi's respect in the face of such a huge temptation is full of sincerity, which makes him truly feel Yang Wengzi's respect from the heart.

To put it simply, he really eats Yang Wengzi's set.

"Hmph, then study first, then apprentice, anyway, if your father dares to refuse, the old man will arrange him to conquer the wild Dian Kingdom and Yelang!"

Wang Qi said ruthlessly in a cold voice, the dignified general of a country, the oldest and most meritorious general among the active generals of Great Qin, but he was like a child with a fighting spirit, which was also a big surprise, and all the generals and officials were a little surprised.

"What are you still kneeling down there for, get up and watch the old man command!"

As if noticing the rest of the people snickering, Wang Qi snorted and poured his anger on Yang Wengzi.

"What Wu Anjun is good at is an offensive like sharp pincers, which is a combination of positive and strange, and a combination of encirclement and intersperse, so as to achieve the tactics of encirclement and annihilation, but unfortunately the old man with dull qualifications has not learned it all." Wang Qi recalled the past time when he served as a deputy general under Wu Anjun, and said with emotion, "But just the method of interspersing is enough for the old man to enter the ranks of the world's top generals." ”

After that, Wang Qi looked at the situation of the enemy on the battlefield, waving the command flag, and a Qin army of 5,000 people rushed into the weak place of the Zhao army's military formation, and the cavalry was followed by 10,000 Qin army foot soldiers wearing a thin leather armor, and smashed through the opening of the cavalry, and then divided into two, one left and one right into the flanks of the other two Zhao army's military formations.

And no matter where these fifteen thousand people killed, there was a Qin army behind them to follow in a short period of time, occupying the opening of the fifteen thousand people.

The 15,000 men were constantly interspersed in the Zhao army's military formations, repeatedly disrupting the Zhao army's military formations from the flanks and behind.

The reason why the Zhao army was able to confront the Qin army was because of the brave folk customs of the Zhao people, and they were able to draw with the Qin army in one go, and secondly, they stabilized the battle line with the help of the military formation.

In this chaotic battlefield, the new soldiers often do not know what to do, and in fact, even the junior officers do not know how to fight, but in each military formation, they only need to obey the command of the middle officer of that military formation.

However, the interspersed and roundabout of the 15,000 people, like a swimming snake that got into the skirt, could not be caught at all when it slid around, but it could always give you a ruthless blow, and the military formations of the Zhao army were gradually disrupted and even dispersed under the disturbance and attack of this team, and the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army gradually withered.

With the complete collapse of the battle line of the Zhao army, the new soldiers of the Zhao State trampled on each other, coupled with the poor vision ability of the Zhao army at night, there were many people who mistook Pao Ze for the enemy army in a panic during the rout.

The Qin army was completely different, the Qin army had already changed the meal system to three meals a day and one meat every three days, and the supply of vegetables and fruits in the army was also increasing, far surpassing the Zhao army in terms of nutritional supplements, and the problem of night blindness had been generally improved, at least not so that the robe could still be regarded as an enemy army at close range.

After a night of fighting, the Qin army lost more than 2,000 soldiers, while the Zhao army lost nearly 20,000, many of whom died at the feet of their own people and under the soldiers.

If it weren't for Wang Qi's reluctance to continue the risk of night battles with the army, the losses of the Zhao army would have increased by at least another one or two thousand.

However, considering that the Zhao army was still chasing after the 100,000 Qin troops led by Tu Sui, Feng Wuxue, Shejian, and Huan Qi, as long as the two sides of the 200,000 horses met, the Zhao army could be surrounded and annihilated here, so Wang Qi thought that there was no need to waste the lives of the soldiers to fight for those two or three days, and gave up continuing to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

Although the position of the battlefield was deviated, and the achievement of drowning the Zhao army was not achieved, it still achieved Wang Qi's expectation of encirclement and annihilation.

After three days of rest, with the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army as the vanguard, the 200,000 Qin Army launched the last and most fierce offensive against the Zhao Army.

Unlike the Qin army, which had rested for three days and was full of physical strength, the Zhao army did not carry much dry food, and on the day of the night battle with Wang Qi, the Zhao army had exhausted the dry food on its body and then launched an attack, and the Qin army rested for three days on behalf of the Zhao army without food for three days.

The exhausted, hungry and cold Zhao army was like a military feat thrown on the ground waiting for them to pick it up in the eyes of the Qin soldiers, and they were chasing the Zhao soldiers all over the mountains.

Many people even put their swords in their sheaths, used Changge's rod and scabbard to take down the Zhao soldiers, and then easily captured them.

The weak Zhao army does not have much strength to resist at all, and decapitation can also make the weapon roll the blade, it is better to put it down directly to save effort, and it can also earn more military merits.

And Wang Qi could finally urge Wang Jian and Zhang Ji to march in turn, and wrote in the battle report in a loud voice.

"In the autumn and September of the tenth year of the king, the ministers pulled out Zhongmu, Ye, Pingyang, and Wucheng, killed Zhao generals, beheaded 40,000, captured 60,000, and opened the door of the southern line of Zhao."
