Chapter 31: Trapped in Zhao Array Again

In the battle at the mouth of the Wu'an Valley, the Qin army was in danger, and at the same time, the Zhao army, which broke through the junction of the Qin army, also fell under the attack of the Qin army on three sides. That group of Zhao troops had completely lost the possibility of survival, and were surrounded into a small group, only driven by the instinct to survive, fighting desperately! With the sound of bowstrings, they fell one by one. And their death bought time for the Zhao army in Taniguchi, and they finally had the opportunity to set all the siege equipment of the Qin army on fire. This time, instead of retreating immediately, they gathered the tools together and watched them rise into a huge flame before retreating. Of the 10,000 Qin troops, half of them were separated by a mile away, and they were not allowed to advance an inch; Some of them were pressed back into the valley.

But when they retreated, the Qin army's long-suppressed strength finally burst out. All the Qin troops that could still fight chased after the Zhao army, chasing all the way, constantly harassing, intercepting the backward and scattered Zhao army, causing a lot of losses to the Zhao army.

The battle, which lasted all day, finally ended, with the Qin army beheading nearly 10,000 people and thousands of wounded themselves, more than 1,000 of whom were seriously wounded. Wang asked the seriously wounded to return to Wuji for medical treatment on their own.

The siege equipment left behind was all burned, and there was no possibility of repair. The only things that Qin Jun could use in his hands were the wells in the hands of the South Group, as well as a small number of rushing cars, ladders and other things.

The 10,000 people who led the team to attack the junction of the Qin army wanted to kill themselves in front of the battle, but due to insufficient strength, they did not die. Doctor Qin knew that this person's identity was valuable, so he had him bandaged and carried him down on a stretcher. Now he carried the man into the king's tent.

The king's tent was set up in a burned city, and the ruins of the wall show that it was once the residence of the city lord. After 10,000 people were about to be carried over, Wang Yi smiled and asked, "Why is it so strong that Qing is attacking, and death is not spinning, and it will increase my level by 10,000 levels." ”

Ten thousand people will weakly say: "I entered it, but I didn't dare to survive." Nai's luck is obedient, and he can't die, so he is a captive, and he doesn't dare to complain! ”

Wang Yi said: "Qing Zhi also entered the battle, dare to speak up and win, and fight for himself?" ”

Ten thousand generals said: "I have entered, but the Qin army is in front of the battle, and it is too late to return to help, it is the ear of gain!" ”

Wang Yi said: "Why do you burn my weapons for him? ”

Ten thousand people will say: "Yes! You have no weapons, and you are embarrassed. Bedun is under the fortified city. ”

Wang Yi said: "Even if you lose 10,000 levels, you will also gain." ”

Ten thousand people will say: "But Handan City is here, even if there are 100,000, what a pity!" ”

Wang Yi said: "Strong men too! "Let people find food from the ruins, cook a pot of porridge, and let a Zhao girl who failed to escape feed 10,000 people. He also found a few old men and women who were still in good health from the surrounding towns, and asked them to carry stretchers and send 10,000 people back to Zhao Jun.

Lian Po was also in a city opposite at this time, personally commanding the battle against the Qin army. After the Qin army broke through Wu'an, Lian Po immediately ordered all the towns on the front line to turn into a wartime state, and all the young and strong people entered the city to guard, and all the grain that could be moved back was moved back, and those who could turn to relatives and friends should quickly turn to relatives and friends, and clear the battlefield as soon as possible.

The defensive force on the front line of the water was put 10,000 people, and later 10,000 people were reinforced, but they failed to resist the breakthrough of the Qin army, but lost most of them. Many of the soldiers who fled were wounded. Of the 100,000 people who had just been recruited, nearly 20,000 were lost before the war began, which made Lian Po very worried. Fortunately, after the Qin army broke through the defense of Lishui, it spent a lot of energy to clear out the remnants of the enemy, gather troops, and move forward, but the action was not fast, giving Lian Po ten days to rectify the defense line.

After Wang Di came out of the valley, he did not rush violently, but slowly and methodically one city a day, steadily and steadily. It took another ten days to attack the outer city of Handan. At this time, Lian Po also reorganized the outer defense of Handan and brought 50,000 soldiers to meet the battle.

Lian Po felt the steady and steady attitude of the Qin army, and realized that the Qin army might not dare to fight and rush under the condition that there was no rear, increasing casualties for himself, and even if he won the battle, the troops would be exhausted. He decided to take advantage of this and use the fortified city to consume the living force of the Qin army. And the premise of this is to completely destroy the siege equipment of the Qin army.

The first assault was almost successful, and the Qin army's siege equipment suffered losses, but some were quickly repaired. Lian Po decided to repeat the old trick. This time, he invested the most elite 20,000 people in the direction of the rear of the Qin army, and used the remaining 30,000 plus the people of Handan who had lost their homes to form a containment corps, and attracted the main force of the Qin army to the front line at the cost of casualties.

The Qin army marched separately to give Lian Po an opportunity, and he lost no time in throwing an assault force into the Qin army junction, and burned all the siege equipment left in the rear by the Qin army at the cost of the death of all the shock forces. When he saw the skyrocketing fire of Taniguchi's Qin army's camp, he felt most relaxed.

After collecting troops and returning to the camp, Lian Po counted the number of people, but the northern assault group had not yet returned, and the losses were unknown. More than half of the more than 30,000 people on his side have been killed or wounded; Nearly 10,000 of them have been beheaded by the Qin army. Lian Po sent people to send the seriously wounded back to the rear for treatment, and at the same time recruited more than 10,000 people from the fleeing people to fill the shortfall. From Handan to Wu'an, it is a place with a large population, and more than 100,000 people have fled the fighting. Lian has an inexhaustible source of reserve troops.

Due to today's large combat losses, there are casualties in the formation. Lian Po did not send troops to attack and harass the Qin army, but only sent a small patrol to guard against the Qin army's attack. When he was about to fall asleep, an entourage suddenly reported that the Qin army had sent back the 10,000 captives. Lian Po was taken aback and hurriedly opened the city to meet him.

Those who can become the generals of the Zhao army are generally relatives and nobles in the court, and they usually hold titles such as middle doctor and upper doctor. The nobles of Zhao State were not pampered, on the contrary, they had a martial spirit, and Zhao princes at all levels would consciously carry out military training as long as possible, and commanding and fighting were also "family learning". Therefore, although this 10,000-strong general lost the battle and became a prisoner, once he was released, Lian Po did not dare to slack off.

Seeing Lian Po, 10,000 people expressed their hatred for their failure to die in tears. Lian Po was kind enough to comfort him, personally inspected his injuries, and called the medical officer to bandage him. Let him rest well, and send him back to the royal city tomorrow. And said that he had reported in the military newspaper that 10,000 people would bravely kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and King Zhao would soon be rewarded! Ten thousand people will bow and say goodbye.

Lian Po sent away 10,000 generals and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the city. Lian Po jumped up in a "tiger", rushed out of the door, and climbed the city tower. I saw that countless Qin troops had approached Lixu outside the city, and they were shouting and rushing towards Zhao Ying. Lian Po's eyes were dark, and tonight was his weakest moment: the most elite 20,000 people were still in Beicheng, ten miles away; There are still 30,000 nominally on his side, but 10,000 are the people who have just been replenished, and they have not yet been formed; Thousands were wounded, some seriously; The remaining soldiers watched as the 10,000 Zhao troops were gradually killed and wounded by the Qin army, their heads were cut off, their morale was low, and everyone except those who were on duty collapsed in the camp in a languid manner, digesting the impact they had received during the day.

Lian Po ordered loudly: "Beat the drum to warn!" "The drums beat loudly on the towers. Immediately after that, drums sounded in the camps; Soon, the distant city responded with the sound of drums.

The drums on Lian Po's side were loud, and the Qin army had already reached the edge of the camp, knocked down the camp fence, and rushed into the camp. The Zhao army did not have time to line up, and the individual soldiers resisted desperately, and were stabbed down by the Qin army faster. The Qin army did not entangle with the Zhao army, and directly crossed the Zhao camp and rushed to the next camp fence.

The drums of Zhao Jun's warning did not stop, and the drums of Qin Jun also sounded. Lian Po keenly heard that the two Qin army groups in the north and south launched an attack at the same time.

The two armies of Qin and Zhao were only a few miles apart, and the Qin army that was sneaking up here broke through two camp fences in a row, and the dark shadow of the main force of the Qin army over there was already visible. The bonfire of the Zhao army was an eye-catching target for attack, and the soldiers defending the city of the Zhao army, who had already rushed to the city, all lit torches and shone them out of the city.

Lian Po ordered to shoot at the rear of the Qin army. The archers fired several volleys out of the city, but the effect was unknown, and the Qin brigade was still like a moving forest, firmly pressing on the Zhao position.

The Qin army that was attacked by surprise was taken by surprise, but in fact, the Zhao army, which suffered few casualties, also lined up in a hurry, but in the face of the Qin army's formation like a wall, it completely lost its will to fight, and it collapsed at the touch of a slight impact.

The first two barracks are relatively intact units. These two barracks were easily captured, and the barracks behind them were even more difficult to hold, and they were occupied by the Qin army everywhere. The southern group took advantage of the situation to surround the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lian Po led the elite soldiers, opened the city gate, and fought a melee in the gap of the Qin army to fight his way out of the encirclement! Due to the dark sky, Lian Po moved quickly, and when Qin Jun reacted, Lian Po had disappeared.

After dawn, the Qin army had completely destroyed the Zhao army's camp on this line and occupied the empty city abandoned by the Zhao army. However, due to the rapid collapse of the Zhao army and the darkness of the sky, it was impossible to pursue, and there were not many heads captured.

Wang Yi immediately re-established his camp on the basis of the captured city. After occupying the two cities on the southern front, the road to Handan was basically opened.

In the end, this city was abandoned by Zhao Jun on his own initiative, and all the facilities in the city were well preserved. Wang Yu found Lian Po's personal belongings left behind in the city lord's mansion, and then he knew that the opponent he was fighting against was the famous Lian Po. Once again, he gained the upper hand in the contest with Lian Po, which made Wang Yi feel a sense of pride in his heart.

The 20,000 men of the southern group who were originally going to attack the city were not used, so Wang Di told them to rest for a while, preparing to take the city in the north. Just as the Qin army was setting up a new camp and resting on the spot, there was dust in the distance to the north, and it was obvious that a large army was marching. Wang Yi immediately climbed the tower to observe, and beat drums to form a formation, ready to meet the battle. But the army stopped around the city on the north side, and camped on both sides of the city.
