A new day began in a morning mist, the drums of the armies sounded, and the barracks woke up.

Routinely ordering troops, reporting, and giving orders, the military envoys rushed between the battalions.

Last night, the archers sent by various armies reported to Zhao Meng, and the shouting orders for asking for passwords brought by sporadic movement frequently sounded around. The official doctor who guarded the place immediately reported to Li Bing. Meng Fu immediately said: "It must also be Zhao will make a big move." “

Li Bing asked, "What can I do?" ”

Meng Fu said: "The minister is willing to lead a battalion and the camera will hit it." ”

Li Bing said: "But the first battalion may be insufficient, and it will be beneficial!" ”

Meng Fu said: "The mountain road is narrow, and it is useless to have many soldiers, but it is okay to attack it." ”

When the army was ordered the next day, Li Bing sent someone to report to Wang Ling that the Zhao army had signs of attacking his position, Wang Ling was far away and the situation was unknown, and replied that Li Bing would deal with it. While reporting to Wang Ling, Li Bing also reported to Bai Qi on the movements of Zhao Jun. Bai Qi replied: "If you get it and hit it, the granary will not be able to open." Swordsmen can do it! ”

After sending the military envoys, without waiting for Wang Ling and Bai to reply on both sides, Meng Biao had already rushed to the camp on the mountain to observe for himself. Li Bing prepared his troops for the attack at the bottom of the mountain. The two agreed on the banner of mutual communication.

Starting from the northernmost camp, Meng Fu inspected the movements of the Zhao army under the mountain. In the curling smoke, Zhao Jun's movements were unobstructed. Meng Fu was almost certain that the main direction of attack of the Zhao army was the southernmost battalion, and there were signs of attack in other directions, but there were not many troops, and it was obviously an assist.

Meng Fu thought about digging a pit for the attacking Zhao army.

After inspecting the six battalions, he returned to the northernmost barracks. He asked the official doctor to leave only a small number of troops in the battalion, not to block and shoot at the Zhao army, and let the Zhao army enter the camp, surround it from the outside, and annihilate it. The official doctor was a little afraid, and Meng Fu reassured him that he commanded the troops left behind in the camp, and the army attacking outside the camp was led by the official doctor. The signal for the attack was agreed.

Meng Fu led a hundred shield soldiers and a hundred spearmen in the wall, while the official doctor led two hundred halberd soldiers and a hundred archers to withdraw from the camp and take cover on the hillside behind the camp. The gates of the camp were wide open on three sides. Meng Fu stood alone in front of the camp wall and observed the movements of the enemy army.

The attacks of the battalions of the Zhao army began one after another, and the drums began to sound. Zhao Jun couldn't see the movement on Meng Fu's side, but the Qin camp next to him could see it. They didn't dare to say anything, just exchanged surprised glances with each other.

Due to the assist, the Zhao army sent only three hundred troops: one hundred shield soldiers, one hundred halberd soldiers, and one hundred archers. When they advanced to a distance of 100 paces from the Qin army, they formed a whole formation, and then sped up their pace and pounced. The other battalions all fired blocking shots at different distances, and the arrows snapped into the shields, which was very lively. Only the northernmost Qin camp did not move. This made Zhao Jun a little vague, rushed for one or twenty steps, and unconsciously stopped and looked back. Meng Fu shook his head in his heart: With such military discipline, he is undefeated!

The drums in the Zhao army changed the rhythm. The archers of the Zhao army pulled their bowstrings behind and released the first arrows into the camp. Arrows landed in front of and behind the front wall of the camp. Meng Fu only lowered his head slightly, still observing Zhao Jun intently. Then the second arrow, the third arrow. After the three arrows were fired, the Zhao army team pounced neatly towards the Qin army, directly on a hurdle, and the rest of the distance was a gentle slope.

The Qin army still did not return fire. After Zhao Jun hesitated slightly, he could clearly hear the commander of Zhao Jun giving an order, and Zhao Jun rushed over quickly. Only then did Meng Fu run back quickly, and as he ran, he ordered softly: "Spear!" ”

The Qin army collectively knelt on one leg, with shield soldiers in front and spearmen behind, forming a hedgehog array. When the first batch of Zhao Jun jumped over Qinbi and found the scene in front of them, they were immediately stunned. The soldiers in the back didn't know what was going on inside, and they kept jumping in. The drums sounded, and the two hundred men in the battalion got up together and rushed forward. Zhao Jun, who had an organic spirit, went to open the camp gate first, and let the people behind come in, and the front had already handed over.

The spear has the advantage of length, and it is extremely threatening to put it on the shield of the Zhao army, because the halberd of the Zhao army cannot reach the shield of the Qin army; Zhao Jun's shield soldiers did not dare to lean forward, so they could only desperately hold on to the shield to prevent it from tilting. The two sides were at a stalemate for a few breaths. I saw the archers outside the gate of the rear camp rushing out, shooting at the Zhao army who entered the camp; The halberd soldiers included behind the Zhao army from both sides, and the archers who finally entered the camp were caught off guard and were stabbed several times; The remaining dozen or so people who had not yet entered the Qin camp screamed, turned around and ran.

A wave of arrows squeezed all the Zhao troops who entered the camp under the shield. The Qin army's halberd soldiers immediately rushed in from the three doors and poked at Zhao Jun's buttocks. The Zhao army was in chaos, and some shield soldiers had no intention of resisting, and were stabbed in by spears, and immediately fell to the ground. The Zhao army, which was opened the gap, suddenly became a lamb to be slaughtered, a hundred halberd soldiers, a hundred shield soldiers and dozens of bows and arrows, but in a short time, almost all of them lost resistance, only a few strong people rushed out of the camp gate, and even rolled and crawled out of the ground a hundred steps away, escaping a catastrophe. The archers quickly went up the wall to prevent the Zhao army from counterattacking, and the halberd soldiers poked the Zhao soldiers who had been stabbed by spears or halberds several times until they died. The official doctor saluted Meng Fu again and again: "Wei joined the army, how can he come here!" ”

Meng Fu smiled and said: "This battle is not small. But if the camp fence is not lost, it will be able to gain 'profit' from it. “

The Zhao army under the mountain lost nearly 300 people at once, where was there still the ability to fight again, hurriedly returned to the camp, and closed the camp gate, lest the Qin army take advantage of the situation to attack. The Zhao army next to him also saw this scene, the Zhao army that attacked the Qin camp was beaten by the Qin army behind closed the door and beat the dog, caught the turtle in the urn, lost all the losses, and was terrified, where did he dare to attack seriously, and took the initiative to retreat after attacking fifty steps. When the Zhao army attacked, he deliberately did not block the shooting, but the Zhao army was no longer fooled, and only ran fifty steps, not one more step.

After Meng Fu asked the official doctor to cut off the head, he sent it to Li Bing to report the victory. He took twenty archers, twenty shield men, and thirty halberd soldiers out of the back door, and under the cover of the hillside, hurried to the next camp. Seeing that the Zhao army no longer dared to attack upwards, he asked the official doctor to give him another twenty archers, twenty shield soldiers, and thirty halberd soldiers to the third camp.

The news of the annihilation of the 300 Zhao army had already spread in all the battalions, and everyone was very cautious and did not dare to go too far ahead. The speed of propagation is much faster than that of stop-and-go obscurity. As a result, every time Meng Fu arrived at a battalion, he saw that Zhao's army had only advanced to fifty distances, and immediately retreated. Those Qin troops who don't know what to investigate are all inexplicable.

In the third camp, Meng Fu told Guan Dafu about the annihilation battle in the camp north of Guan Dafu, and asked Guan Dafu not to shoot when the Zhao army attacked. Sure enough, even without the Qin army fighting back, the Zhao army still only advanced fifty steps before retreating. Meng Fu had no choice but to draw twenty archers, twenty shield soldiers, and thirty halberd soldiers.

In the fourth barracks, Meng Fu also drew the same troops. Come to the fifth barracks. The fierce attack of the Zhao army on the southernmost Qin camp could be clearly seen there. He recounted what had happened in the north to the official doctor here, and the official doctor was very envious and said, "Join the army, what a camp!" “

Meng Fu said: "Do it again, but what? “

The official doctor said: "Zhao is shocked, there is no re-entry!" “

Meng Fu said: "I will make it in." “

The official doctor said: "If he enters, the minister should kill him!" “

Meng asked the official doctor to stop shooting while the Zhao army was advancing. Sure enough, Zhao Jun only advanced fifty steps before stopping. The official doctor shook his head and said, "What? How? “

Meng Fu asked the official doctor to prepare the formation. He took eighty shield soldiers, eighty archers, and one hundred and twenty halberd soldiers out of the camp and headed for the sixth Qin camp.

There is a small col between the sixth Qin camp and the Zhao Junliang Mountain. Meng Fu took the little two hundred and eighty people around the side of the col and stopped, and he lay behind a large rock in cover to observe.

Zhao Meng did not spare his hands like the battalions that assisted, and it was a solid battalion of 500 men who launched the attack, including 200 archers. After reaching a distance of 100 paces, the archers began to shoot arrows upwards to cover the brawler's charge. The brawler charges upwards at a faster speed, while the archers mostly stop in place, hoping to kill the opponent's archers with a dense rain of arrows, and the melee only plays the role of luring the opponent's archers to shoot. This tactic is clumsy, but it works. More than half of the Qin archers in the sixth camp were wounded after three rounds of blows; Fortunately, there is a barrier to cover it, and the injuries are not serious, they are generally scratched, and if they are bandaged a little to stop the bleeding, they can continue to fight. Only a dozen people suffered penetrating injuries and had to withdraw from the battle.

In contrast, Zhao Jun's losses were much greater. First, since the Zhao army was at the bottom of the mountain, the archers had to stand within the range of the opponent's bow and shoot upward; Although the distance is far away and the position is scattered, there is no cover, and you will be directly hit by arrows, so if you are injured, it will be more serious. In terms of fighting soldiers, because they had to be close enough to attract the arrows of the Qin army; And because of the mountainous area, the shield soldiers could not be arranged as impenetrable as in the plains, so at close range, it was inevitable that someone would be shot by arrows. When someone hits, the formation becomes more and more disorganized, causing more people to be shot and have to retreat. The Zhao army launched three attacks in a row, and the process was largely the same. Zhao Meng relied on the abundant reserve forces to drive battalion after battalion to attack. The retreating troops immediately replaced the wounded with reserves, ready to fight again.

This time it was the fourth offensive, and the last battalion that did not participate in the offensive was used. If they retreat, it will be the turn of the battalion of the first wave to attack. Two hundred archers lined up one step apart from the front and back, left and right, and shot arrows upwards in the face of the rain of arrows of the Qin army. The brawlers quickened their pace and rushed up the hill, and they had to wait until one of them fell, before they could retreat. I don't know who this unlucky ghost is!
