Chapter 516: The End
What Zhao Kuo didn't know was that while he was waiting for rescue and trying to break through, Qin increased his troops again.
The section of the Great Wall built by Jiang Chiyu, who had been in the northwest for many years, was completed, so he was ordered to retreat. He was directly sent by King Qin Zhao to the Changping battlefield for reinforcements, originally Bai Qi Wang led an army of 300,000, plus Jiang Chiyu brought 100,000 Qin soldiers, at this time the Qin army Changping battlefield strength has reached 400,000.
Under the disparity in troops, the 200,000 Zhao troops led by Zhao Kuo were blocked!
Zhao Kuo tried to break through many times without success, he even tried to divide Zhao Jun into four groups and break through in four directions, but after four or five attempts, none of the teams could get out.
The Qin army gradually compressed the scope of activities of the Zhao army, and the grain and grass brought by the Zhao army were gradually consumed, but they could not be replenished.
When King Qin Zhao heard that Bai Qi had besieged the Zhao army in Changping and cut off the Zhao army's grain line, he simply rushed to Hanoi County in person and transferred young adults over the age of fifteen in Hanoi County at the cost of conferring the title of the local people.
Of course, if these people fought with the Zhao army as soldiers, it would not work, but King Qin Zhao also concentrated these people on the Changping battlefield, and let them be responsible for intercepting Zhao's reinforcements and grain transportation teams from all directions, and at the same time providing logistics support for the Qin army!
In this way, in addition to the Qin army besieging the Zhao army, there were more than 100,000 young people of the Qin State who joined the Changping battlefield.
Zhao Guo Handan naturally also received the news that the Zhao army was besieged, and let people save it as soon as possible, but the Qin army had already taken precautions, whether it was from Changping or from elsewhere, the original soldiers could not reach the Zhao army!
The original garrison in Changping was only 100,000. That is, because of the small number of people, Lian Po was defeated again and again, and finally simply chose to defend instead of facing the enemy.
As a result, as soon as Zhao Kuo came, he easily brought 200,000 troops, but he led his troops to rush out to face Qin Guogang with great fanfare.
Jiang Anrao received the news that Zhao Kuo continued to let Zhao Jun change the formation after the battle, which was a great show. Even in the process, he also engaged in a long snake formation. This sounds like a joke to Jiang Anrao, a layman in terms of fighting!
Zhao Jun was well-trained and reacted quickly, but he changed his formation in time according to Zhao Kuo's orders. But his flashy changes came and went, and in the eyes of the generals of the Qin army, they all felt that the other general's general seemed to have convulsions.
In the words of the audience in the live broadcast room, this product seems to have some serious illness! Bai Qi has already feigned defeat to lure the enemy deeper, and he is still there to show off the formation operation. What and what!
After Jiang Chiyu arrived at the Changping battlefield, Jiang Narao and the audience in the live broadcast room could see what happened on the battlefield more intuitively. When Jiang Chiyu arrived, the Zhao army, which had been divided into two, had nearly 100,000 people on the side without Zhao Kuo's command already demolished by the Qin army.
It was really demolished, and the Qin army directly wiped out all these people with the advantage of troops, and the audience in the live broadcast room saw with their own eyes that none of the nearly 100,000 Zhao soldiers had a full corpse......
Jiang Anrao gave everyone a warm reminder early.
The Battle of Changping, which was a famous battle in the entire history of China. It is no exaggeration to say that "blood is drifting". So she had already reminded the audience to watch with caution.
However, it reminds that there are still people who feel that they can challenge the limit and can take a look. As a result, he was bloodied on the spot, and then expressed regret.
"Folks, close your eyes!" It is already a high-frequency word that has been frequently brushed out in the live broadcast room recently.
In Changping and many nearby places, the Zhao army wanted to break through the Qin encirclement and try to re-establish the Zhao army's grain line. But for more than forty days, these teams were scattered and wiped out by the Qin army again and again.
The blockaded Zhao army tried to break through many times but failed, and finally ran out of food.
Compared with the Zhao army, which was besieged and hungry and could not eat, the Qin army had a team specializing in military supply and kept transporting grain and grass.
The 400,000 army, the consumption of food alone every day is a terrifying number, in this era when communication is all about roaring and walking, the supply of the Qin army can only rely on people to constantly transport it.
The young Zhuang of Hanoi County was also one of the main forces in transporting grain, and in this way, the Qin army had a steady supply of food, while the Zhao army could only dig the ground and peel the bark of the trees to keep the leaves and roots of the grass alive.
The time sequence finally entered September, the Zhao army was out of food for more than 40 days, and more than 100,000 Zhao troops gnawed up everything that could be stuffed into the mouth, to the realm of really eating soil, but still no one could break through the encirclement and send food in.
Many Zhao soldiers have long been desperate, and have even begun to kill each other and eat people to satisfy their hunger.
Zhao Kuo knew that they couldn't continue to consume it, otherwise they would end up killing each other to death.
So he gathered all the elites of the Zhao army and planned to make a final struggle. Zhao Kuo is also skilled in arching horses, so he personally led the elite to break through.
Jiang Chiyu was ordered to guard one side, and seeing that Zhao Kuo was actually leading the team towards his side, he immediately asked people to adjust the crossbow that had been erected earlier.
"Since I'm here, then don't blame me for being rude."
Jiang Chiyu said that he used the perspective of the live broadcast room to adjust the crossbow, and after adjusting it, he directly ordered the arrow to be released.
A row of crossbow machines, one by one, two fingers thick and nearly one meter in length, were shot out, and flew straight towards the team that broke through the Zhao State with a broken wind in mid-air.
Zhao Jun instantly turned on his back!
Zhao Kuo bore the brunt of the attack, the person was pierced by two giant arrows, fell off the horse in an instant, and after rolling twice, he was motionless!
The elite of the Zhao army, who originally wanted to make a desperate bet, was in chaos when they saw the death of the coach.
Here, Jiang Chiyu continued to order a salvo of crossbows. Round after round, there were very few of those Zhao troops who could or could approach the Qin army's battle formation.
After the distance was almost the same, Jiang Chiyu gave an order, and the Qin army rushed up, and the elite of the Zhao army was wiped out in an instant!
The last hope of breaking out of the encirclement came to an abrupt end, and the Zhao army was like a dead heart, and the remaining tens of thousands of people were unable to fight anymore and surrendered one after another.
Jiang Chiyu solved the battle on his side, so he stayed where he was, waiting for the order, and then heard that on the other side, Bai Qi had already ordered to kill all the Zhao troops!
Shouts of killing, shouting continued until dark and the war ended.
Qin Jun at the scene, Jiang Chiyu, and even Jiang Anrao, who had been paying attention to the picture in Jiang Chiyu's live broadcast room, and the audience suddenly felt relieved.
The Battle of Changping is finally over!
In this battle, the Qin army used 400,000 troops, more than 100,000 young and strong people, and 300,000 Zhao troops, and the Zhao army was completely wiped out!
But the price of the Qin army was not small, they also had nearly 200,000 dead and wounded, in addition, Jiang Anrao had planted the grain, herbs, meat, etc. that he had saved for many years, and he had consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight in this battle.
For example, food consumption is not all eaten by the Qin army. There is also the first level of the people of Hanoi County promised by King Qin Zhao when he supervised the war, and the food rewarded by these knights was also planted by Jiang Anrao and others!
Jiang Narao looked at the wartime consumption statistics posted to her on Jiang's father's screen and sighed: After several years of hard work, I went back to before the hard work......
