Relying on the swordsman's strong individual combat ability, the Qin army almost broke the resistance of the Zhao army with only a few arrows and broke into the camp. They quickly took over the defense of the camp and let the Nanjun army disperse halfway up the mountain to prevent a sneak attack by the Zhao army. When the first wave of Zhao troops attacked, they first engaged the Nanjun army, and were lured into the range of the swordsmen by the Nanjun army, killing them. During the second wave of attacks, the Nanjun army did not stop it, and directly let the Zhao army into the range of the Qin army, and the swordsmen almost repelled the Zhao army with only one arrow.

As the light turned bright, the offensive of the Zhao army became more and more relaxed, the power of the Qin army's bows and arrows became more and more exerted, and the task of the Nanjun army changed from being on guard to beheading and cleaning the battlefield and reaping the spoils of war. From time to time, the verses of 100 generals, or even 500 generals, have been discovered. Nanjun Junjun's blatant behavior inspired Zhao Jun's fear even more, thinking that he would never go back, and no one could deal with it calmly.

But 10,000 men will have no choice but to throw one unit after another into battle. After all the 20 battalions were disabled, they selected soldiers who could fight, temporarily formed a ranks, and continued to attack. The soldiers of the Zhao army, who had suffered losses, also learned to be obedient, acted cautiously, bowed down, and mainly shot at the Qin army with bows and arrows; As long as the Qin army returned fire, immediately retreat and take the wounded soldiers with them. After three or five times, the Qin army seemed to be dissatisfied with this lethality rate, and had to wait until the Zhao army advanced to fifty paces before shooting arrows.

After 10,000 people will discover this situation, they will immediately form two battalions of each group of Shiwu commanders and even 100 people, so that they can seize this opportunity to break through the Qin army camp. The Zhao army, which was composed of officers, was really strong, and when it was successfully approaching fifty paces, it suddenly quickened its pace and launched a fierce attack. Not to be outdone, the archers behind them fired back at the Qin army, attracting the firepower of the Qin army, and almost all the archers were hit by arrows, but bought time for the brawlers to charge and kill the camp closer. These men were so fierce that they did not immediately jump into the barracks, but slammed the gates with all their might.

The Nanjun soldiers outside the camp came out to harass, and they only allocated a part of their forces to stop them. After more than a dozen impacts, the camp gate was smashed open, and the army swarmed in and started a melee with the Qin swordsmen.

Ten thousand men will be overjoyed at this and immediately put the other two battalions mobilized into battle. Since there was already a scuffle in the battalion, the bows and arrows had lost their effectiveness, and both battalions were all halberdspearmen.

But 10,000 people will miscalculate. After the Zhao army broke into the Qin camp, it was confined to a narrow range by the Qin army's brawlers and temporarily formed a confrontation. All the archers went around the outside of the camp, originally preparing to shoot at the Zhao army who entered the camp from behind, but suddenly found that another Zhao army was attacking again, so they temporarily turned the spearhead and fired at the Zhao army's halberd spearmen who had no ability to resist. After a few arrows repelled the attack of the halberd spearmen, they went around to the side of the camp as originally planned and shot behind the Zhao army. The Zhao army that broke into the camp gate suffered heavy casualties, and only a few of them killed the encirclement of the Nanjun army, evaded the pursuit of the archers, and fled back to the camp.

These four battalions are already the last strength of 10,000 generals. Unlike Zhao Meng, this 10,000-strong general was born in a humble and humble manner, and there was no pro-camp, only about 100 people entourage. Seeing that these four battalions were defeated, 10,000 people would feel powerless to return to the sky, and draw their swords to kill themselves, but they were stopped by their retainers. His retainers advised him not to take his own life. Ten thousand people will ask, "Will you rule the kingdom with me?" One of the retainers replied, "But for a small pawn, he also serves the country." ”

The 10,000 people were helpless, so they had to send a military envoy to report to Zhao Kuo: "The ministers and soldiers are all dead, but they are waiting for the crime camp!" He then asked the rest of the soldiers to strengthen the fortress and prepare to meet the Qin attack. By this time it was already noon.

After the arrival of the 10,000-person general's report, Zhao Kuo did not make any accusations, but only ordered the 10,000-person generals to reorganize their ranks and make meritorious contributions to their crimes. He had the five corps around him, each allotted a battalion of 10,000 generals, ready to continue the offensive tomorrow. At the same time, instructions were issued to other armies not to stop the attack on the 6th Battalion of Nanshan.

The night attack last night completely shook the entire Zhao army, especially the loss of Liangshan, so the attack on the six battalions of Nanshan scheduled was not carried out by 10,000 people. Everyone's full attention is on whether the 10,000 people will be able to recapture the grain mountain, and if they can't recapture the grain mountain, what will Zhao Kuo do!

Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Kuo did not have any new instructions. During this period, many tens of thousands of people will send people to Zhao Kuo for instructions, but Zhao Kuo only repeats the original plan and does not take new actions.

The retainers sat around him with some worry, and Zhao Kuo also discussed with them the plan for further action: we can only use the existing grain to support it, and the specific method is to launch an attack on the Qin army without interruption, causing us to attack the enemy and defend, and the initiative is in my sign; It would be better if we could capture a few positions of the Qin army, and if not, at least send all the soldiers into battle, and not let them stay in the camp unless they were wounded.

The retainer who had been sent to supervise the war also came back and told Zhao Kuo that although the 10,000 generals were inconsiderate in their use of troops, they were still working the whole. He specifically mentioned that the archery of the Qin army guarding the grain mountain was too accurate, and they could accurately find the gap in the shield in the dark night, and hit it with one hit, which was by no means an ordinary soldier. "Ten thousand people will be weak and the enemy will be elite, although they want to win, they cannot get it." He also specifically mentioned that 10,000 men would organize the officers of the whole army into two battalions and launch an attack. As a result, although they attacked the Qin camp, they were completely annihilated, and out of a thousand people, less than 100 escaped, especially the archers, and almost none of them returned alive.

A retainer said: "Archery is not practiced for a long time. Those who can shoot in our army are all strong soldiers; The other camp has the skill of wearing Yang. It's hard! Besides, our army has few arrows, and if we attack, I am afraid that there will be no arrows. ”

Zhao Kuo asked, "What can I do?" ”

The retainer said: "The minister has been serving the king with the horse for a long time, but there is no such time." At that time, although the soldiers were few but fine, the morale was strong, and everyone could fight. Not as much as now. ”

Zhao Kuo said: "I am weak Zhao, when I am strong Qin, the army has no fighting spirit, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit." However, it will also be here, and wait until October, may you plan it! ”

The retainer said: "From now to October, there is still a few months, although the soldiers can fight, what is the food!" ”

Zhao Kuo sighed: "Food! Food! If you get food, why bother in the first place! ”

The retainers asked, "What did you do in the first place?" ”

Zhao Kuo said: "It's not what you can know!" ”

Sima Jin took a short break in the war and went to the grain mountain to observe the grain storage of the Zhao army. The swordsmen who guarded the camp led him into the granary. Sima Jin was surprised to find that of the five granaries, three were basically empty, and the fourth one still had a little bottom, estimated to be less than a thousand stones. Only the fifth granary was filled with a large number of straw bags. When Sima Jin stabbed it with his sword, it was all dirt. Even the thorns and sacks, all the same, there was no food. Sima Jin couldn't think of why so much soil was packed in straw bags and placed in the granary.

Ascending to the arrow tower on the top of the warehouse, he found that the fortress complex to the south was in full view. From here to the fortress complex, it is only two or three miles away. Sima Jin asked: "Come to seize the camp at night, what is the surprise?" ”

A doctor replied, "The ministers will guard the camp with one battalion and the other battalion to guard the warehouse, waiting for them to come." However, he seized the camp, but did not seize the warehouse, and the Zhao army in the base did not come out. ”

Sima Jin carefully inspected the path around the granary, and it was indeed narrow and difficult to walk. Therefore, when the armies fetches food, they all go to the camp in front, and no one comes from behind.

Sima Jin pointed below and asked the doctor: "If you attack it, what is the way?" ”

The doctor said, "If there are 100 people, it is okay." If you fight in the array, you don't get the way. ”

Sima Jin visited the wounded and promised to come in the evening to replace them down the mountain. Immediately afterwards, he visited the Nanjun soldiers stationed outside the camp and said to them: "Wu Anjun knows your military exploits, and he is very commended!" Will be precise. Arrive in the county in a few days. Rumen Court will be tall! ”

The official doctor was an officer of Bai Qi's own battalion, and he knew Sima Jin's intention, so he deliberately asked, "What is the merit of the general?" ”

Sima Jin said: "His camp is said to be profitable, and they all get a knight." Those who have gained it will be restored. Or one day and not change! The crowd was in an uproar and the crowd was excited.

Sima Jin also went to the camp in the north of the Beidi camp to talk with the officials and doctors on duty, and told them to pay attention to cooperating with the grain mountain. The official doctor naturally responded.

Sima Jin went back and reported to Bai Qi what he had seen in the granary. Bai Qi said: "Cunning thief! I'm covering up its disadvantages! ”

Sima Jin said: "What do you mean? ”

Bai Qi said: "The other army really has no food, and it dazzles people's ears with straw bags!" If he has his store, there will be no food to come out, and the army will be scattered. Today's grain mountain is taken by me, and the disadvantages of no grain are naturally covered up! ”

Sima Jin said: "But does it have food? ”

Bai Qi said: "Although there is no food, the sin is in Qin, not in Zhao." ”

In the evening, the Nanjun Army stationed in Dongling took over the defense of the granary, echoing the north and south of the Beidi Army.

Throughout the night, the Nanjun Army was reinforcing the barracks and carrying the baggage. The decapitated headless corpses were erected and prepared to be burned in the fire. 10,000 people will be sent over to negotiate and ask for permission for the Zhao people to transport the body away. The doctor in charge of the camp was an officer of Bai Qi's own battalion, and he thought about it and agreed that Zhao Jun would go out of the camp after sunrise to carry it, but he was not allowed to carry weapons. But when the sun rose the next day, Zhao Jun had already carried the bodies back to the camp overnight for burial.

Although the Qin army's battle went smoothly, its own casualties were not small. Needless to say, half of the Nanjun Army was wounded and hundreds were killed; Even the swordsmen had a lot of wounds, mainly from stray arrows. The wounded were sent back to Gaodu for treatment.

In fact, when the Northland soldiers feinted, they also gave the Zhao army a lot of damage, which was one of the important conditions for the Qin army's sneak attack, but those achievements were not counted in the Northland army, and they all became the credit of the Nanjun army and the swordsmen. Li Bing mentioned it when he reported the battle report, but Bai Qi did not say anything, and Li Bing no longer insisted.

Seeing that the position was shrinking day by day, and important strongholds were taken from place to place, Zhao Junjun's heart was shaken and their morale was depressed. The battalion of wounded soldiers was sent in thousands of wounded, and they had no other future than to wait for death. Every day, people are sent to the back mountain for burial.

After occupying Liangshan, the only peaks that the Zhao army still mastered were the foot of Danzhuling and the location of Zhao Kuo's big tent; In addition, the army on the waterproof front line is still relatively complete, especially in the southern fortress area, and its combat effectiveness still exists. But how long can the combat effectiveness of these areas be maintained due to the lack of food?
