Although the battalions of the Zhao army on the ridge of the mountain reserved a field for formation, the direction was to the southeast of the mountain, after all, that was the direction in which the enemy was attacked. The camp occupied by the Mongols? That is the direction in which the unfavorable retreat of the scheduled battle lies, and it is the last hope for stabilizing the entire battle situation! How could it have been thought that an attack would be made in that direction? The troops of the Zhao army on the mountain beam formed a column, pointing to the top of the mountain, and could only attack one battalion after another, and the advantage of troops could not be brought into play.

Zhao Kuo actually didn't care about the offense and defense of the front line of Shicheng. His entire focus was to quickly crush the Qin army in front of him. If he could defeat the Qin army within ten days, the Zhao army would still be able to exist in Changping; If not, any other outcome would be a disaster. The thing that really burns the eyebrows is that the food is running out! There is another point buried deep in Zhao Kuo's heart, and he can't say it to anyone: if the disaster is really unavoidable, he must also cripple the Qin army in front of him as much as possible, and he can't let them attack Handan!

Therefore, for four days, Zhao Kuo concentrated as many troops as possible every day to attack the Qin army, hoping to find a fighter and defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop. But it didn't work out. And to fight with a large corps, a sufficient battlefield is a prerequisite. At present, the largest battlefield in Changping is also around that hill, which can generally accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people to fight, and a little more than 30,000 or 40,000 people.

For four consecutive days, Zhao Kuo concentrated more than 30,000 people every day and sent about 20,000 people to attack, but the effect was not great, and the casualties were not small. The troops commanded by Zhao Kuo are different every day, and they also have the intention of rotation training, hoping to select the troops who are brave and good at fighting, and use them intensively in the decisive battle to win in one fell swoop. In the past four days, another 120,000 people have taken part in the rotational battle, two-thirds of whom have been engaged in the battle, and with the relatively small rotational training in the front, the 250,000 combat units have basically participated in the battle. Zhao Kuo thought about how to organize and deploy the forces of his subordinates to give the Qin army a fatal blow.

The direction of Shicheng was not the main combat direction in Zhao Kuo's mind. What if the stone city is completely opened? That just means that the battle is back to the beginning. Moreover, the stone city has been repeatedly reinforced by the Zhao army, and the difficulty of attacking it is no less than attacking Qinbi. More importantly, the Qin army's capture of Shicheng with a large number of forces must have dispersed the forces fighting in the south, which was actually a favorable situation for Zhao Kuo. Defeat the Qin army in Shicheng, let them return to the front, and then the Zhao army will attack to the south, isn't that asking for trouble for yourself? As long as Shicheng can hold off the Qin army for seven or eight days, and the Zhao army opens a new world, everything will change; If you can't break into a new world? It doesn't matter if you can retake Stone City or not!

Therefore, after Zhao Kuo gave the order to the 10,000-strong generals to seize the lost position, he still turned his energy to today's sortie.

Today is the fifth day, and the food crisis is approaching day by day, which makes Zhao Kuo have a deep sense of urgency. Action must be stepped up!

Today's sorties were decided yesterday, and they were all concentrated in the sortie positions to the south. After receiving ten days of rations, there was no reward for doubling the food for winning the battle, and the real battle was fought with real knives and guns, and the casualties increased, and the morale of the Zhao army was somewhat frustrated. However, the concentrated troops this time broke the restrictions of the original structure, and on the basis of some 10,000 generals who could fight, they supplemented and strengthened some of the troops of other 10,000 generals. This gave Zhao Kuo the courage to decide to touch the tiger's butt!

After breakfast, he left the camp, and the direction of the formation was the same as before, pointing to Qin Bi, as if the target of today's attack was the Qin army fortress. Before the Zhao army left the camp, the two Qin armies in Gaodu had already left the camp and lined up, but Wang Di's troops did not come out.

After many days of preparation, the trench fillers have also appeared in front of the position (correspondingly, the damage to the trench in front of Qinbi has also been completely repaired). Zhao Kuo put on a posture of attacking Qin Bi.

Five formations of soldiers marched neatly towards Qinbi under the sound of drums. Four or five of the trenchers carried a basket of earth and advanced between the first and second formations. This time, 15,000 men were dispatched, and they formed ten rows of horizontal formations behind the first formation, leaving a huge gap between the first formation and the second formation. The huge phalanx stopped a hundred steps away from Qin Bi, and the four formations behind it were also lined up a hundred steps away.

Unlike the first trench battle, this time the Zhao army sent shield soldiers to cover the trench filling. One hundred baskets of earth were carried by four or five hundred trench fillers, followed by three hundred shield soldiers, and rushed forward with brisk steps. The shield soldiers tried their best to withstand the impact of the arrows and maintain their speed, but this invisibly reduced the protection of the trenchers behind them, and many of the trenchers fell, but the rest still carried the basket and flew away. The distance of a hundred paces is not long, but it is not short, holding a shield and carrying a basket, only to run out of breath, and his legs are weak and tired. But at the urging of death, everyone ran desperately to the front of the trench, and the shield soldiers flashed aside, and the trench fillers quickly pushed the baskets into the trenches, and then turned around and ran. The shield soldiers also followed behind and retreated.

With the shield soldiers under their cover, the casualties of the trench fillers dropped considerably, and the trouble was that the shield soldiers were exhausted and had to rest for a long time before they could start the second wave.

Just when the Zhao army launched its first trench filling operation, Bai Qi's Western Route Army began to move. The square array of 5,000 people formed three formations and marched towards the siege troops of the Zhao army.

Zhao Kuo saw the Western Route Army start to start on the mountain and issued an order, ordering the Zhao army to turn. The Zhao army seemed to have been prepared, the banner was unfurled, and three of the four formations behind the trench soldiers turned to the left on the spot, changing from a column to a horizontal formation. Only the second formation still retains its original front.

At the same time as the front army turned from vertical to horizontal, the rear army also completed the formation in front of the battalion. In the banner, he went diagonally towards the flank and rear of the Western Route Army.

After the Zhao army finished changing formations, a drum sounded in the Qin wall, the wall gate on the north side opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and two flags rushed out of the wall gate, quickly occupying the two formations. Behind the two flags, a group of soldiers rushed out in two columns, each lined up according to the flag, and just when everyone was still dazzled, the formation of a thousand people had been lined up. At the sound of the password, the rows and columns quickly aligned forward, backward, left, and right, and looked up like knives.

This kind of momentum is the most moving to watch from a high place in the distance, Zhao Kuo stood in the best viewing position, fully appreciated the array of the Qin army, and couldn't help but praise from his heart. This army only has a thousand people, but it makes Zhao Kuo feel that they are the center of gravity of the battlefield. And this thousand people who can influence the situation of the battle appeared on the side of the Zhao army's siege troops. Their presence immediately halted the work of filling the trenches, because the shield soldiers did not dare to rush out to cover the trenches again. After the formation of the thousand men was completed, they barely stopped, and slaughtered the front line of the attacking troops. The siege force was already only a hundred steps away from Qin Wall, and the Qin army's formation directly shortened this distance by twenty or thirty steps. Under normal circumstances, when Zhao Jun encounters this situation, it is completely possible to shoot the enemy first and interfere with the opponent's formation. But the speed of the formation of this Qin army was too fast, and when the Zhao army reacted and wanted to take measures, they had already finished the formation and sent forward.

The situation of the Zhao army was very unfavorable, his flank was exposed to the blows of the Qin army, and only a few bows and arrows on one wing could reach the shot; Most of the forces on the front are completely useless. The scattered arrows crackled against the shield, and it sounded weak! After advancing twenty steps, an order was given by the Qin army, the bowstring sounded, and the hundred people of the Zhao army immediately ordered to "raise the shield". Zhao Jun's shield blocked the arrows shot from the front, but it couldn't block the arrows shot from the side, and more than a dozen people immediately fell. The casualties of the trench fillers caught between the two formations were heavier. Screams, screams, and curses. The second wave of arrows of the Zhao army was even smaller, while the second wave of arrows of the Qin army came directly from the side, and the shield soldiers in the front row turned the direction to block the arrows fired from the side, but the gap that was dodged was taken advantage of by the arrows fired from the front, which caused greater casualties. Then a third arrow was fired. At this time, the flank of the Zhao army had been completely disrupted, and not only did twenty or thirty people fall from the arrows, but the shield also revealed a large gap. This wave of arrow rain almost emptied all the Zhao troops close to the Qin army: under the three waves of arrow rain, there were more than 50 casualties in the first formation, not including the casualties of the trench fillers.

Due to the blockage of the trenchers and earthen baskets, the soldiers of the second formation could not come up to respond, and could only watch the first formation be eaten by a rain of arrows. In the end, the Qin army shouted and rushed up, and the first group had no intention of fighting, and dispersed in a hurry. When the trench fillers saw that the first formation had been dispersed, they also shouted and fled in all directions.

The second formation of the Zhao army was still tight, although there were routs running, as if they were about to disrupt the formation, but the Zhao army stretched out spears and halberds from behind the shields, reminding those scattered soldiers not to rush through the formation, and the routs had to find their own way, bump everywhere, and finally run to the front of the positions of the two armies. The Qin army temporarily stopped advancing and cleared the fallen Zhao army first. Then face the second array of Zhao Jun and wait for each other.

Another drum sounded in the Qin wall, and the Qin army of 5,000 people came out and formed a formation in the open space. This time, the formation of the Qin army took some time, and it was not as fast as the soldiers just now. This strengthened Zhao Kuo's judgment: the 1,000 Qin army was the key to determining the victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Since the first formation had been dispersed, there were trench fillers between the second and first formations, about two or three hundred paces apart. Under the cover of the 1,000 Qin troops who left the camp first, the Qin army's array was not disturbed in any way and was quickly completed. Then, five thousand people crossed the one thousand people and pounced on the only Zhao army facing them, and the Zhao army was defeated in just one moment.

When the Qin army broke through the Zhao army twice, the Zhao army, which had changed direction, had already made contact with the Qin West Route Army. The Zhao army shot a rain of arrows from the front of the sky, and the Chu people only had very few shields, which were not enough to resist, so they turned around and retreated. Because the front of the Zhao army was too wide, the two flanks that the Chu people were good at could not be completed, and it completely became a passive attack. At this time, the Zhao army, which rushed over from the oblique stab, also arrived just in time, and the two sides attacked, and the formation of the Western Route Army was even more shrinking, and the situation was not good.
