More than a dozen cavalrymen from Shangjun took advantage of the chaos to pass through the Qin army camp and ask for help from Handan of Zhao State. Although Li Xian caused chaos, it didn't take long for several people to be discovered by the soldiers of the Qin State.

Followed by a chase all the way, and in the end, only three of the Zhao cavalry managed to escape, broke out of the Qin army's encirclement, and then rushed all the way to the Yellow River crossing.

The Qin army camp, one is unremarkable to the camp, and several camps surround a camp tent in the center. At this time, a group of Qin soldiers hurriedly walked over, and after being inspected by the guards, they entered the camp.

"Someone sent out?" In the center of the tent, under the dim oil lamp, a tall figure sat on the main seat.

"General Yu, it has been sent out, and it was done by himself, a total of three people went out, although the three were injured, but the injuries were not serious."

"Order the army to be opened, the camp tent will not move, all the soldiers in the former army camp tent will guard the camp tightly, and if the camp is attacked by someone at night again, all the soldiers will be cut by one level."

"Whoa!"

"General, do you want to recall the troops sent to attack other counties?"

"No need, let them prepare to go to the bank of the Yellow River, and after the Zhao army crosses the river, cooperate with the army to encircle the Zhao army."

"Whoa!" The generals took the orders and left.

Soon, in the camp of the Qin army, they began to act quietly, except for the innermost camp facing the county seat of Fushi, most of the soldiers in the other camps were quietly evacuated, and were replaced by straw men who were erected one after another. A large number of soldiers took advantage of the night to quietly leave.

The Shangjun messenger for help traveled all the way, crossed the Yellow River, and soon met the army of Zhao, and was then sent to see the commander Gongzicheng. Gongzi Cheng led the troops to the battle, originally heard that Bai Qi led the army, and he was very vigilant in his heart, Bai Qi destroyed the 200,000 army of Han Wei in a war that had long been famous all over the world, not to mention that the casualties of the Qin army were only thousands.

Even if it was later blocked by the Huai army in Shangyangyi, there was not much loss. Even because of the short time of the war, not much food and grass were consumed. Now that Bai Qi is attacking Shangjun, Gongzicheng is also very vigilant, so he did not rush to the rescue with all his might, but sent a large number of scouts to investigate.

The messenger who came to Shangjun for help soon came to the camp, and then reported the situation in Shangjun to Gongzi Cheng at this time, after learning that in addition to besieging Fushi County, the Bai Qi army also sent a large army to capture other cities in Shangjun, at this time, outside Fushi County, the Qin army was less than 100,000, plus the loss of attacking the city for several days was not small, and it was attacked by Li Xian at night, and the morale was low, which was the opportunity for the Zhao army.

Zhao Guo's 200,000 against Qin's army is less than 100,000, the advantage is mine!

Gongzi Cheng, who had always been worried about being treated by the Qin army and besieged the reinforcements, immediately ordered the army to speed up the march and rush to Shangjun after the news of the news from Shangjun was consistent with the news from the scouts.

The Zhao army was originally close to each other, and the pontoon bridge for the ships crossing the river had been prepared for a long time, and the army immediately set off after an order. Boats and pontoons were quickly erected. Gongzicheng spent a day leading 200,000 Zhao troops to cross the river, and then the army rushed directly to Fushi County.

At the same time, a large number of scouts were also sent to reconnoiter and gather intelligence. The Qin scouts soon met the Zhao scouts. Immediately after that, the scouts on both sides began to fight continuously. Although the Qin army was not afraid of death, it was still inferior to the Zhao army who had experienced Hufu cavalry and shooting.

The Qin scouts suffered heavy casualties, and the Zhao army, after passing through the blockade of the Qin scouts, soon saw that the Qin army was gathering soldiers and retreating south.

After receiving the scout's return, Gongzicheng immediately realized that the Qin army had found out that Zhao reinforcements were coming and wanted to flee. immediately understood that what he expected was not bad, the Qin army was really less than 100,000 here.

He immediately ordered the cavalry of the army to pursue and entangle the Qin army, and he led the army to arrive later.

Li Xin personally led the army to go, and the cavalry of the Zhao State was very fast, but it took half a day to discover the retreating Qin army, and then immediately harass these Qin troops, and then sent someone to notify the army to come.

Because the Qin army had baggage, and most of them were infantry, under the pursuit and harassment of the cavalry of the Zhao State, the marching speed was very slow, and it took a day to reach a low-lying basin called Fuyang Pass that was not marked on any Kanyu map at all.

The Qin army camped near the basin, and by the next day, all 200,000 troops of the Zhao army had arrived. Seeing that the number of Qin troops was less than 100,000, Gongzicheng was overjoyed, and despite the fatigue of the continuous march of the army, he directly led the army to attack.

Bai Qi made the Qin army stand in three formations on the west side of the basin, and the two sides of the basin were more than ten meters high to the soil slope, and there were many thorns on it. The Zhao army needed to cross the basin in order to attack the Qin army. The drop in this basin is not about ten meters, but the area is vast, Gongzicheng wants to concentrate superior forces and annihilate these Qin troops, so he immediately sends a large army to attack.

It was only after the Zhao army entered the basin that it was discovered that the Qin army needed to attack from the back, and the Qin army was condescending. At the same time, the Qin army, under the command of Bai Qi, slowly retreated the Chinese army, and the two flanks of the Qin army encircled the Zhao army.

The Zhao army was in a hurry to attack, and by the time it was discovered that the army was attacking on its back, it was already too late, and the attack of tens of thousands of troops was blocked by the Qin army with the help of the terrain. Coupled with the terrain of the basin, the army could not line up at all, and the Qin army on the left and right flanks kept shooting crossbow arrows, bows and arrows, and the Zhao army retreated after being beaten.

This battlefield was naturally carefully selected by Bai Qi, and although the basin was gentle, the gentle uphill slope of hundreds of meters was extremely unfavorable for the attacking soldiers.

The two wings of the Qin army continued to throw bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, and arrows as if they didn't want money, and they fell into the Zhao army's array, and the Zhao army in the basin was so large that there was no time to dodge, and a large number of Zhao troops were shot into hedgehogs.

The Qin army on both wings was like two powerful arms, pinning down the Zhao army. Originally, the elite cavalry of the Zhao State was even more trapped in the formation and completely lost their mobility. The cavalry of this era was not good at frontal combat, and it was completely abandoned when it was surrounded by the Qin army.

From the very beginning, Zhao Jun thought that Qin Jun was going to escape, and he chased after him all the way, and he didn't pay attention to Qin Jun in his heart, and Qin Jun led Zhao Jun into his trap step by step.

At the same time, the Qin army, which was originally 'attacking' other cities in Shangjun, also appeared, completely besieging 200,000 Zhao troops in the basin.

Seeing this situation, Gongzicheng desperately wanted to break through, but if he fell into the trap of Bai Qi, how could he still give you a chance? The army of Zhao State attacked several times in a row, but was blocked back by the Qin army.

The Zhao army suffered heavy casualties, but it was unable to break through the encirclement, and more than 100,000 Zhao troops were trapped in it. Although Zhao Jun brought a lot of baggage, there was no water source in the basin at all. A person may live for five days without food, but without water, he cannot survive for even three days.

Moreover, people can endure it for a few days, but horses can't endure it for even a day.

Gongzicheng realized the crisis of the army and immediately organized a breakthrough with manpower, but the Qin army had already prepared, and connected the chariots with chains, and the chariots were covered with wooden planks, and hundreds of chariots were like city walls, and the Zhao army failed to break through several charges.
