At a distance of three or four hundred steps from the first line of defense to the second line of defense, there were a large number of seriously wounded soldiers, almost all of whom were Zhao troops. Since the Zhao army was the attacking party, if it was not for the deliberate intention to keep the hand, the wounded soldiers would not have been treated. On the contrary, the Qin army was on the defensive side, and the wounded were able to quickly return to the camp for treatment.

The Zhao army, which had come up with reinforcements, did not immediately attack, but tried its best to clear the camp fences and trenches set up by the Qin army to facilitate their own attack. At the same time, let the retreating Zhao army carry the wounded Zhao army back to the rear. The Qin army also rested and wounded inside and outside the second barracks. Someone silently took out a handful of fried millet from his arms and put it in his mouth, and someone next to him immediately reminded: "Don't pass, if you do, you will be bloated and you will die!" The man nodded, evened out half of it, and gave it to the one who reminded him, "In the mouth, there is salt!" The man did not refuse, but stretched out his hand and took it, and put it in his mouth. From the small amount of fried millet to the two of them, neither of them chewed it immediately, but held it in their mouths, tasting a trace of saltiness. Both of them had not drunk water for a day, and they felt unbearably thirsty, and their mouths had a salty taste, which could stimulate a little saliva secretion and relieve some pain.

At this moment, a group of non-commissioned officers entered the camp with two jars of water each, leaving ten jars in each battalion. The doctor ordered it to be distributed to the people to drink. In the era of cold weapons, there were more casualties and fewer deaths in war. After most of the day's fighting, there were almost no unwounded among the 1,000 people, but no one was killed for the time being. Ten jars of water for 1,000 people, each person can drink a small sip.

The camps on both sides were not far apart, and they could hear each other even when they were talking louder. Seeing that someone from Qin Jun's side was carrying water to drink, his eyes bulged out with envy. Zhao Jun's envy increased Qin Jun's pride, and some people shouted at each other to light up the jar, and the other party shouted at this side, all of them were Bashu people, and they didn't understand it very well, and they were immediately stopped by the other party's officer shouting.

Seeing that the sun was tilting westward, Zhao Jun became the side facing the sun. Zhao Jun's mood became even more agitated, and he was obviously a little impatient in his actions. The generals of the Zhao army realized this and ordered the Zhao army to attack as a whole.

The troops that had been on the alert on the front line became the first to attack. Six battalions of halberdiers began to advance, followed by archers who had hastily formed their formations. - The archers were just ordered to destroy the Qin army's barracks.

The archers of the Zhao army were behind the halberders, pulling out a distance of about ten paces, so when the halberders entered the range of the Qin army's bows and arrows, the archers did not start shooting to cover, allowing the halberders to face the whistling arrows. The effect of this draw was quite good, as the shieldmen in the front row did not raise their shields sufficiently—most of them were only slightly above their heads. When the rain of arrows smashed down like a wall, a large number of halberders of the six battalions fell visibly with the naked eye. The officer who was supervising the battle in the back shouted and shouted and ordered the shield soldiers to raise their shields, and ordered the other halberdiers to immediately form up and move forward. Just when the halberd soldiers were still in the whole team, another rain of arrows fell, and then the drums sounded in the Qin military camp, and the Qin army rushed up with a shout. Due to the heavy losses of the Zhao army under the rain of two arrows, and now the team has not been assembled, seeing the Qin army rushing up, they all panicked, some people hurriedly made a fighting posture, some people stood aside, almost numb, the officer scolded loudly, roared, let the soldiers rush up, but where to get the formation. Seeing that the situation was not good, the officers turned around and ran first. So the halberdiers of the sixth battalion shouted, turned around and ran. The archers who were more than ten steps behind had just entered the range of the bow and arrows, and they had already knelt down and were about to shoot, but they saw the halberders in front of them scatter like a landslide, fifty steps away, the Qin army was like a wall, advancing firmly, and the rain of arrows of the Qin army also poured down from the head, smashing the shield crackling, and the Zhao army, which was scattered by birds and beasts, was shot down a lot by the rain of arrows.

The fleeing Zhao army overwhelmed the positions of the archers, and the archers collapsed without even firing a single salvo.

Fortunately, at this time, the six battalions of the rear team arrived, and the Qin army saw that the Zhao army had reinforcements arriving, so they stopped the pursuit and adjusted the formation on the spot. And the Zhao army did not immediately attack, only covering the retreat of the defeated troops to the rear.

The sun was even more oblique, and the tall mountain shadows almost enveloped the troops on both sides, and at this time, the Zhao army, which had launched the first round of offensive, returned to the battle and lined up in a horizontal formation.

At this point, Wang Yi had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the five Zhao armies involved in the battle: the first group of attacking troops was the elite of the Zhao army, and its combat effectiveness was so strong that it was a grade different from the other two armies. The army that infiltrated Hyunshui seemed to be only a diversion, and only a flurry of arrows shot them back; And when the mission was not completed, the Zhao army preferred to reactivate the first army rather than put them into battle, apparently because of lack of confidence in their combat effectiveness. It should be the weakest. There are 10,000 people who have been attacking the northern formation of the Qin army in three or two places, and only the Qin army retreated as soon as it counterattacked, and it did not confront the Qin army at all, and it should also be an army with weak combat effectiveness.

Wang Di nervously watched the strongest Zhao army drive up, ready to fight with the Qin army again, this time it was not a camp battle, but a hard-fought field battle, Wang Yi even had a desire to know what the result of the Qin army and the strongest Zhao army could be played.

Just as the main force of the Zhao army was advancing forward and entering the position where the whole team was ready to attack, a bell suddenly sounded on the mountain bag: Lian Po ordered the troops to retreat.

Wang Di is wondering, why did Lian Po withdraw from the army? He looked at the opposite side suspiciously, and soon found the reason for Lian Po's retreat: a group of Qin troops drove out from behind the mountain in the south and headed in the direction of the camp group at the foot of the south mountain! Obviously, Bai Qi had already rushed to the battlefield and saw the entire combat process, and now he had finally caught the fighter.

This time it was the whole army retreating. The Zhao army, which had just driven up, showed excellent fighting qualities, and they stood on the spot and became the rearguard to cover the other troops. Wang Yi was willing to give in, raised the red flag behind the stones, and because the drums of the whole army were beating, the armies immediately launched an attack on the enemy in front of them. The Zhao army, who was lining up to retreat, immediately retreated without waiting for the line to be lined up, and their personal belongings were scattered all over the place. After the broken Zhao army defeated two Qin army attacks in succession, it finally couldn't resist and retreated.

Those Qin troops who had been in reserve for a day formed their formations and quickly entered the battle. The troops guarding the direction of Hyunsu also rushed out.

The army attacking in the direction of Hyunshui was the only army in Lian Po's hands that had not been put into battle, and Lian Po could only order them to set up a formation along the lower reaches of Danshui for five miles to block Bai Qi's attack, and they must stop Bai Qi to the death to buy time for the retreat of the large army.

Except for the 10,000 Zhao troops who fought and retreated, and still had combat effectiveness, the rest of the armies were all in order. Although all the armies had troops left behind, those people retreated in a hurry when they saw the Qin army coming up, and they had no will to fight at all.

Lian Po came down from the mountain, let his own camp stand on the bank of Danshui, and slowly moved forward to join the broken Zhao army. Seeing that the general's momentum was gradually advancing, the panicked mood of the army was slightly calmed down. At this time, the downstream of Danshui also heard a burst of shouts and killings.

Only a few high-ranking generals such as Lian Po knew about Bai Qijun's involvement, and ordinary soldiers did not know about it. Suddenly, there was a shouting of killing on the back road, and the mood that had just calmed down was raised again.

Wang Ji asked the Qin army guarding the southern formation to withdraw, and the remaining 30,000 people pressed the Zhao army from three directions. Although Zhao's army now numbered 50,000 men, more than Wang Di, the sudden appearance of troops in the direction of Gaodu completely disrupted Lian Po's plan. And the Zhao army was demoralized, and it was already difficult to organize an effective counterattack. The 50,000 Zhao army was like a flock of big fat sheep, slaughtered by the Qin army.

Lian Po knew that the most important thing now was to let the Zhao army quickly retreat into the camp and defend against it. On the one hand, he asked the commander of the pro-battalion to lead the army into the camp first and prepare for defensive operations; While trying his best to find those officers who can still control the troops in the chaotic army, he gives them direct instructions. In this way, troops of three hundred, five hundred, or even one hundred or two hundred were sent to the ramparts sporadically.

At this time, the shouting and killing sound downstream shook the earth, and the violent collision of the two armies could be heard even here. After several consecutive impacts, exclamations and cries came, and the Zhao army, who was hugging outside the city, saw this, where did they still care about it, and ran desperately into the camp, and the camp gate was immediately blocked by the chaotic army. The soldiers who followed behind saw that there was no hope of entering the camp, so they ran north along the camp wall.

Seeing that Lian Po had not yet entered the city, the commander of the Zhao army in the camp decisively ordered to open all the camp doors and let the Zhao army enter the camp. And the broken Zhao army was also very effective, almost single-handedly, blocking the impact of Wang Di. Wang Di had to stop and readjust the formation.

However, the troops who blocked Bai Qi were not so good, they hurriedly deployed on both sides of the Danshui River, where could they withstand Bai Qi's observation. Bai Qi saw the weakness of the formation at a glance, and quickly reorganized the formation to make a surprise attack. After only three or five formations, the Zhao army's formation was dispersed.

When Bai Qijun came to the foot of Nanshan, the troops after the Zhao army was still confronting Wang Di, and there were about more than 10,000 people in the Zhao army in front of the barrier who could not enter. When it was found on the fortress that Bai Qi appeared two or three miles away, he decisively repelled the Zhao army in front of the gate with a burst of flying stones and closed the city gate. Seeing this, Bai Qi did not attack the city, but brought the troops to the broken Zhao army and the camp to cut off the connection between the two sides.

Although the Zhao army after the break is brave, after all, it is tired after a long battle, and it is necessary to beware of Bai Qi; And Wang Ji occupies a three-to-one advantage. After calmly adjusting his forces, he launched an attack and surrounded the Zhao army from both flanks. Although Zhao Jun was in a desperate situation, he still resisted desperately; But the brave could not defeat the situation, and the most elite unit of the Zhao army was finally wiped out.

By this time it was already dark.

The battle outside the city was ten miles away from the city, and the people in the city could not see the specific situation of the battle in the darkness of the night, but the dark shadows of the buildings were enough to show the fierceness of the battle. When the screaming finally stopped, there was a cry in the city, and the generals couldn't stop it from shouting desperately.

When the Qin army was cleaning up the battlefield and harvesting the head of the Zhao army, Wang Yi and the five doctors came to the Gaodu military camp five miles away to see Bai Qi. Seeing this, they didn't say much, and said directly: "I will help you succeed, and you should also help me!" ”

Wang Yi and the others didn't know what they meant, so they stood up together and said, "I obey the order!" ”
