There was a calculation or no intention, but He Heng's division of troops gave King Zhao great trouble, and he had already lost his soldiers and horses once, plus in order to prevent rebellions in other places, he could not transfer too many county soldiers.

As a result, King Zhao, who had only 50,000 of 20,000 elites and 30,000 miscellaneous troops, fell into a helpless situation.

He wanted to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, fearing that the rebellion would form a chain reaction and bring other counties out of the rebellion, hoping to fight a decisive battle with the Xia State, and if he couldn't fight it, he would drive the Xia State army out of the Zhao State and slowly deal with the rebellious area.

However, Xia Guo's move of dividing troops into multiple ways made him not know how to deal with it for a while, and the safest thing was to occupy the core city, slowly advance one by one, suppress it, and slowly pull out the impact of the rebellion.

However, there are some worries that the longer it drags on, the first is that it will be difficult to eradicate the influence of the uprising, and the second is the fear of a series of rebellions that will cause wider repercussions.

While he was doing research with the rest of the staff, the information was passed on his desk, making his eyes widen.

"The number of the so-called Tiance Army is less than two thousand?" King Zhao looked at the information in disbelief, it was these two thousand people who actually made him make a big move.

Holding the information and watching it repeatedly, he couldn't believe that Zhuang Xun's ragtag army had provoked such a big storm and could actually cause an earthquake in half of the Zhao country, and he began to question the authenticity of the information.

He obviously didn't find the reason from his own policy, he only felt that the information would not be wrong, but he also knew a truth, that is, when the emperor thinks who has a counter-heart, then those who do not have a counter-heart will also have a reason to be anti-minded.

So he just went to investigate again, found out the number of people, and at the same time formed a team to carry out it at the same time, and although he wasted more than ten days, he got a very different conclusion.

Xia Guo's Tiance Army of the Xuanjia Army of Zhao State is only 2,000 people, and the rest are similar to county soldiers, but their combat effectiveness is not strong.

According to the words of the county soldiers who organized the counterinsurgency before, it was all because the county soldiers in various places had their own generals, and there seemed to be contradictions, and they wanted to retreat and flee before the war, plus the two thousand Tiance troops rushed into battle, so they were defeated so quickly.

In fact, the people sent by the Xia State are not strong, the Tiance army is very small, and the total number of troops is only forty or fifty thousand, which is not much, at least it is not worth calling so many soldiers and horses, and it is not worth his personal expedition.

Fortunately, the army on the front line was not mobilized, otherwise it would have fallen for the trick of the Xia State, and if the Zhao State was really transferred from the army of the Jing State, only the situation of the Zhao State losing would have been achieved.

After figuring out the distribution of the Xia State's troops, especially knowing that the so-called Xia State army only had two thousand Tiance troops, King Zhao's pending decision finally had a little basis.

Divide the troops, divide the troops like the Xia Kingdom, a total of three ways, divide the elite into three points, he led 8,000 troops alone, including 2,000 palace guards, 6,000 family troops, and 10,000 county soldiers, after all, it is convenient for him to command the family army, and others will command the family army.

The other two roads each have 5,000 elites and 10,000 county soldiers, ensuring that the Tiance army facing the Xia State alone can have a crushing advantage, and regain the rebellion and the land occupied by the Xia State to the north and south.

Hearing the real number of people sent by the Xia Kingdom, the families all fell into a relaxed and happy atmosphere, singing praises of virtue and praising the King of Zhao for his courage to carry out the imperial expedition, and the current eastern part of the Zhao Kingdom must be in the wind.

Although King Zhao was modest, he also thought so in his heart, and after hearing the true power of Xia Guo clearly, he didn't feel worried, and people rarely relaxed.

After all, he couldn't figure out how his nearly 20,000 elites could lose to Xia Guo, who was 2,000, he didn't think about losing, and Xia Guo didn't think about winning, it was just a hard drag, and the consensus between the two sides was clear and clear.

Zhao State counterattacked very quickly, large siege equipment, a huge stone smashed, the city wall collapsed, where is the defender Zhao State's opponent, at the beginning there was desperate resistance, a pile of wall grass behind saw the siege equipment and abandoned the city and fled, the rout far exceeded the speed expected by He Heng and others.

Although the Zhao army won all the way, there were a lot of attrition, and some had to supplement the city defense nearby, because some of the city defense troops were killed by the rebel people, some of the food was taken away by the rebel army, and some were given to the people, resulting in the re-formed county soldiers could only go to the people's homes to rob them.

Coming and going has made many people become bandits, resisting less, accumulating a lot, and the battle report submitted to him annoyed King Zhao.

However, the elite forbidden army was unscathed, after all, it was not their turn to levy food, and the county soldiers who cooperated with them lost several thousand, some of them were left behind to occupy the city, after all, the rebel army could not be used.

Thanks to some of the county soldiers who guarded the city, Xia Guo and the rebel army had no siege equipment, and they could not break through the strong city walls, so they could only pray for an internal uprising.

They held on and waited until the soldiers of the Zhao court, otherwise for Zhao State, the loss would be greater, this is the land of Zhao State, and it is Zhao State himself who swallows the bitter fruit if it is broken.

However, seeing that the territory was slowly recovering, the successive victories still made King Zhao a lot happier, and the destruction of the Xia forces was just around the corner.

King Zhao, who was heading all the way to the west, was about to block the escape route of the Xia army, and then he could catch the turtle in the urn.

His wishful thinking was fine, and He Heng also saw his purpose through the march route of King Zhao, blocking the pass connecting Xia and Zhao, and trapping these people in the territory of Zhao.

So he was hesitating, whether to stay, or just withdraw, King Zhao came too quickly, many arrangements were useless, and King Zhao's army regained the lost territory all the way.

He actually had the idea of fighting with Zhao Guo, after all, Zhao Guo's forces were already so scattered, and after training, he had a lot of new troops in his hands.

He was unwilling to give up like this, and the news he got was that these elites were half of the King of Zhao and half of the family, and they were not actually transferred to the border guards of Zhao.

Therefore, the pressure on He Heng was very great, and being forced to retreat in this way meant that Zhao Guo had achieved a major victory, and they did not play a role in making Zhao Guo hurt his muscles and bones, but only gave Zhao Guo some superficial injuries.

King Zhao came all the way to the battle, and lost a lot of personnel, but there were still 15,000 people, and He Heng collected the bandit army all the way, the rebel army, and now there are 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Bringing these troops home, these soldiers will also have grievances, after all, many of them are from the Zhao State, and the Xia State sent troops in the name of conquest and tyranny, so they were willing to surrender.

In this way, there was no major conflict along the way and he retreated, how do the people of Zhao State view Xia Guo now, and do Xia Guo still have such a prestige in Zhao State after that?

Zhao fought too fast, which also caused many armies to have no time to retreat, and now the northern and southern armies have not yet withdrawn, and they have been bitten by the two armies of Zhao State.

"Pretending to launch two big battles, the two divisions of the Zhao State are also about the same, let the trained army try the appearance of a decisive battle, and at the same time release the news, use the military horses of the Tiance Army as a cover, show that we went to the battlefield on both sides, let the King of Zhao continue to divide the troops, and we will do the rest head-on."

The biggest pass between Zhao and Xia is the Taiyun Pass in the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the road that communicates the north and south is in Taiyun City, a smooth road, and Zhao is a plain country, and there is no danger.

Defend Taiyun City, then you can continue to fight with Zhao Guo, continue to deal with the armies in the north and south, so that they have a way to retreat, and if they can't defend Taiyun Pass, it is equivalent to giving up attacking Zhao State.

Make up his mind that he still has to fight a dozen, it is too embarrassing to flee without a fight, and he also conforms to the mood of the soldiers, these soldiers want to fight the army of Zhao State, and think about beating the army of Zhao State, this land is the king of Xia's, and they can live a good life of living and working in peace and contentment.

On the one hand, the soldiers strongly demanded to fight, and on the other hand, there was a pass that could not be retreated, He Heng thought twice and decided to fight, leaving 10,000 or 20,000 people to guard Taiyun Pass, and the others He decided to use it to fight a big battle.

The Chidao left by the Ji Dynasty made the army's marching speed twice as fast, and Zhao Guo was the country that best maintained Chidao, He Heng originally wanted to delay it for a few more months, but it seemed that it could not be delayed.

In front of the large-scale siege equipment that Zhao Guo followed the gallop, the city wall was meaningless, at most it took advantage of the mountain and the terrain to defend, and tried to consume the strength of the Zhao army.

The terrain of the mountains and terrain does not work, it can only be a confrontation in the plains, and He Heng already knows that he will be defeated, so he handed over more than 4,000 Tiance troops to Luo Yuecheng, and secretly confessed that if he couldn't fight, he would withdraw and save his strength for the Xia Kingdom.

It's not two thousand, it's four thousand, after fighting for more than half a year, and recently replenished two thousand Tiance Army, originally some soldiers were trained in advance, just short of weapons and equipment, Zhao Guo misjudged, but it is still eight thousand against four thousand, the old against the new army, the advantage is huge.

There is only such a favorable condition, He Heng thought that his 50,000 people would always be able to grind out the 4,000 elite iron cavalry of the Zhao Kingdom, so that there was hope of winning, although there was little hope, it was a lot of life.

The decisive battle on the plains is to facilitate the escape of these iron horsemen, He Heng has already sprouted the will of life and death, and the suicide note was handed over to Luo Yuecheng, let Zhuang Xun take care of his wife and children, he is a person with affection, and he shoulders the two armies of the north and south that he decided to divide at the beginning, these 50,000 soldiers.

It was he who made a mistake in pre-emption, causing the two route armies to not have enough time to retreat, he didn't expect the existence of large-scale siege equipment, causing the city to be lost far faster than he imagined, in a word, underestimating the national strength of Zhao.

caused such a big mistake, did not retreat in time, he did not have the face to hide in the rear, the other emperor was personally conquest, and he also had to command in the center, this was an explanation to him to the Xia State and the soldiers who stayed in the territory of the Zhao State.

He Heng's way of confusing Zhao Guo has no effect, because King Zhao is confident, and he is not afraid of the two thousand troops of Xia State to support the north, and the elite of the two army of five thousand will be afraid of you with only two thousand people?

Even if the two sides have the same combat strength one to one, and each team has an advantage in numbers, eating the troops in front of him can slowly take care of the Xia army that exists in the territory of Zhao State, what is he worried about, worried about those peasant rebellion chickens and dogs?

Don't worry, all the way to the march, it's all triumphant, and it's going to hit the border, what is he worried about, but not continuing to divide the troops has also caused a miscalculation.

I feel that these people in the Xia State are ready to resist stubbornly, because the troops led by the King of Zhao are about to cut off the pass between the Zhao State and the Xia State, and these troops not only do not leave, but also stay in the Zhao State in order to continue to consume the strength of the Zhao State.

It's not that he didn't find out that He Heng gathered fifty or sixty thousand people, and fifty or sixty thousand people were just some peasant troops, so what was he afraid of.

At this time, King Zhao was not brainwashed by the ministers who sang the praises of the so-called Wenzhi martial arts, and he prepared a lot for this decisive battle, the sentry posts of the probes, and the speeches of the three armies.

He followed the advice of the generals, how to set up camp, how to change the sentry on duty, he did not interfere with the command, but just let the generals win steadily, and the entire Zhao State was their backing.

The only thing that has not been detected is the Tiance army that Xia Guo has just replenished from the border, but it doesn't matter, the number and proficiency are still his advantage, and King Zhao does not risk seeking a big victory.

His calculations went to heaven, but only missing a tiny point, the human heart.

Until the knife was on his neck, he couldn't understand how he could lose, wasn't the other party already defeated?

He put the family's army in the front and two wings, put the palace guards in the rear, and took the ministers to personally supervise the battle, obviously he had already defeated most of the Xia army, how could he lose, how to lose.

From the perspective of Xia Guo, this battle can be called weird, Huang Xi led the military horses out to guerrilla, after all, Huang Xi is more alert, so the Tiance Army, which was originally managed by the two of them, became Luo Yuecheng alone.

At the beginning of the war, Zhao did not use the Xuanjia army, the county soldiers and the county soldiers of Xia State were deadlocked, and there was a tendency to retreat, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and it was slightly better to equip Zhao State, but after all, there was a gap in numbers.

Spy on the opponent's combat effectiveness, use these situations with arrows, adjust the military formation in time, and regroup to use elite troops in the next step.

The two sides clashed, stronger horsepower, greater strength, and a large number of Xia troops were torn apart, and the left and right flanks pounced, and slaughter was inevitable.

can't be replaced, these Xuanjia soldiers are like low-profile versions of innate masters, ordinary blades can't hurt them at all, and the impact on soldiers is very big.

No matter how fierce you are to death, you can't beat these monsters who are not afraid of knives and guns, just like what Zhuang Xun saw in Xuannu before, this is a one-sided massacre.

He Heng put on his horse, and he relied on his intention to die, relying on his innate master, to change some people, and at the same time create a chance for Luo Yuecheng to escape, and keep the best Tiance army in the Xia Kingdom.

"Go, walk the yarn, at that time, His Majesty told me that he named the Tiance Army is the same army in his hometown that has won all battles, fuck, I'm going now, this is still a fart Tiance Army, pass my order, and kill into the enemy formation."

Luo Yuecheng is stupid, but as soon as he heard that He Heng wanted to give him the queen and let him retreat, he understood what he meant, what he liked and admired the most was Guan Erye of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Zhuang Xun said, and now let him leave He Heng and escape, how could he escape.

Zhuang Xun is the first important life-saving benefactor, and He Heng, who has maintained him all the way, is the second important, to this extent, where is He Heng's explanation, and an order is passed to enter the enemy formation.

And then they won, and they won very sloppily.

The Tiance Army has various shortcomings, such as insufficient training of the supplementary new army, insufficient coordination, and not adapting to this kind of armor, but they are not afraid of death.

The orders received by the Xuanjia Army of the family, at least from the private orders of the bosses who belonged to them and belonged to the family, were all to protect themselves and avoid the edge of the army.

They are the army of the family, not the Zhao State, they are dead, and the Zhao State will not compassionate them.

A spectacle appeared, and the 4,000 people who were not afraid of death tore open the mouths of more than 10,000 people in the front battle and arrested King Zhao.
