9. Meet on a narrow road

"Report, the old pass ahead is surrounded, and the Qin army is building a cloud ladder and preparing to attack the old pass."

The worst happened, the Qin army really still had a team of men and horses to sneak attack the old pass.

"Report, the banner of the Qin army says 龁, there are nine slashes, and it is their commander Wang Yi who came in person."

"Report, the Qin army in the front row is wearing a full suit of armor, spears and short swords, and a cowhide shield, and he is an iron eagle sharp."

"Report, the smoke and dust are billowing in the Qin army, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people."

Those light cavalry looked frightened, but the doormen didn't care, they were ready to take their lives to cover Zhao Kuo's retreat.

Zhao Kuo felt that his palms were sweaty.

None of these messages are good.

Calm down, be calm. Zhao Kuo clenched the reins and kept reminding himself.

The topographic map made him understand that the road here was extremely difficult to walk, and there were definitely not many Qin troops who came here, and it was impossible to have tens of thousands.

He remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhang Fei broke the bridge according to the water, he sent people to drag wood behind him to create smoke and dust, creating the illusion that there were many troops. Qin Jun should have done the same.

It is also impossible for the Qin army to wear all armor.

A pair of armor plus weapons must not exceed 80 catties, how to carry these things for a long distance.

These cavalrymen marched in their own territory, and they did not carry so much armor.

At most, the Qin army is armor-piercing soldiers in the front row.

But what if you make a mistake.

If the Qin army really has tens of thousands of people, they will have to explain that they are here, and the old pass will also be lost.

Even if there are not many people in the Qin army, as long as everyone is wearing armor, it is really invincible.

That's the Iron Eagle Warrior, Qi Zhi's skill attack can't meet Wei's warriors, and Wei's warriors can't meet Qin's warriors.

Iron Eagle Ruishi is the first elite of the Warring States, if he is still wearing armor, what will he fight.

But could he just retreat, sit back and watch the back road being cut off, and then hide in the big grain mountain, sit back and watch most of the army under his command lack food and then be killed.

In the end, I supported myself for half a year, I had no food to eat, and I came down to surrender, and then I was buried in a pit, leaving a stench for 10,000 years?

It's not what you want.

I crossed over by myself, not to be buried in a pit.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo actually smiled and asked Sima Yue next to him: "I heard that my father said something before, what is it called." ”

"Is it that the road is far and narrow, for example, two rats fighting in the hole, and the brave will win."

"Yes, that's a bit long. I think it's appropriate to put it another way. "Zhao Kuo has already asked the doormen to put on armor for themselves.

He rejected Sima Yue's suggestion to change armor with him.

He was still wearing his own general's armor.

If you want to die, then die with a bang.

"Please make it clear." Sima Yue also put on the cavalry armor, and he had already made up his mind to die in front of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo smiled easily, as if he had put down some burden, waved his hand to let the flag bearer beat up his flag, and then shouted loudly: "The brave wins when you meet on a narrow road!" ”

Then, with a flick of his horsewhip, he took the lead in the attack.

Five thousand Zhao troops rode lightly, and there was a sensation.

Here in the Qin army, the general who led the team was indeed wearing the general armor of the Qin army, but it was not Wang Yi himself, but Wang Wei, who was known for not being afraid of death. It turned out that Bai Qi knew that it would be difficult to travel from the river valley to attack the old pass, and the logistical pressure was very great.

But the winner and loser are here.

After conquering the old pass, Zhao Jun in Changping is the meat in his bowl.

Therefore, Bai Qi instructed Wang Feng to bring the commander's armor and banner, and let the sergeants drag wood in the rear to create smoke and dust before the siege, so that the Zhao army thought that the main force of the Qin army had arrived.

If Zhao Kuo hadn't come, the defenders of the Guguan would have been really frightened.

But Zhao Kuo's arrival disrupted Wang Wei's calculations.

However, Zhao Kuo rushed directly into the battle this time, but Wang Feng looked disdainful.

Wang Feng is an old soldier, and the offensive route he chose is very vicious, surrounded by some mountain roads, potholes, not to mention the cavalry impact, even if the infantry wants to attack, it is not easy to walk.

This is also the key to the Qin army's courage to attack the city with inferior forces. Elite troops are also afraid of being attacked from the side or rear.

However, his opponent is Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo, who has mastered the terrain.

This is a place he had come to explore in his previous life.

He was the first to rush out of the prancing horse, but his head was extremely calm, and he took the elite under his command around in a circle, rushing to the bushes on the left side of the Qin army.

"Fool on paper, the cavalry rushed into the bushes, and the horse's leg broke after a few steps, and then lay on the ground waiting for us to shoot arrows." Wang Feng pointed to the cavalry of the Zhao army in the distance and laughed.

He didn't know that Zhao Kuo's cavalry had horseshoes.

Zhao Kuo gasped and stepped on the stirrups, he didn't plan to organize the formation or control the speed.

He could see that the Qin army had already built the ladder and was ready to push it to forcibly attack the city.

The Changping Pass has been breached, and the Qin army there is on the way to attack the old pass.

Time waits for no one.

Therefore, once the pass is lost, the whole army will be annihilated, and there can be no more hesitation.

The horse is fast.

The wind was whistling in his ears, and Zhao Kuo opened his eyes vigorously to confirm the direction of the Qin army.

The momentum of the galloping horses should be thunderous, and the cry is like thunder, but Zhao Kuo can only hear his heartbeat now.

Zhao Kuo held the reins in his left hand and Changge in his right hand, and the whip no longer knew where it had been thrown.

Zhao Kuo stabbed the horse's ass with Changge's blade.

The war horse suffered pain and accelerated wildly.

Since the Warring States period, there have been fierce generals who lead troops to rush into battle, but it is extremely rare for the commander of the first army, with the general flag, to take the lead in rushing into battle.

"Isn't Zhao Kuo a waste who only talks about the art of war, how dare he rush over by himself, come on, shoot him for me, shoot him and we'll win." Wang Wei's face began to be a little heavy.

"Shaojun, be careful of Qin Dog's bow and arrow." The doormen desperately wanted to catch up with Zhao Kuo and reminded loudly.

Zhao Kuo couldn't hear it, he could only hear his own heartbeat, he could see the Qin army in front of him, and his fate that might be about to be buried in the pit.

Zhao Kuo felt that his heart was about to jump out, and he felt that he was going to shout something.

Sou. Five hundred archers of the Qin army began to shoot arrows.

Zhao Kuo seemed to see a long swarm of locusts rising from the Qin army's array, and then pounced on him like a torrential rain, getting closer and closer.

It turns out that I still have to die here. Looking at the tips of the arrows that were getting closer and closer, Zhao Kuo completely relaxed.

At least, I wasn't shot in the back. He relieved himself.

only to find that two figures were in front of him.

is his own doorman, the two best doormen, Zhao Ji and Zhao Di.

The two mornings were still praising themselves for inventing the horseshoe, and then said that they were waiting for the doorman who gave his life for himself.

They actually relied on their exquisite riding skills to keep up with Zhao Kuo, and when the rain of arrows was about to cover Zhao Kuo.

The two men jumped out of their horses as if they had a heart.

Zhao Yu jumped far away, endured most of the rain of arrows, and then fell to the ground like a sack.

Zhao Di was behind him, and he had time to turn his head and smile at Zhao Kuo, and then many arrows suddenly appeared on his body, and before his smile could be fully released, it solidified on his face, covered by the blood gushing out of his mouth.

They made good on their promise in the morning.
