How to plow thousands of miles for the first emperor Kr. 41
The soldier said: "General, this potato has not sprouted or turned green, are we ......?"
Wang Yi said: "After roasting, give it to the horse first, and if the horse eats it, it's okay, so give me a taste." The old man sat on the high wall eating baked potatoes and scolded me, I had long wanted to taste what he was eating! ”
The soldier immediately said: "General, let's eat the food we haven't eaten, what if it's really poisonous?" ”
Wang rejected the kindness of his subordinates. He wanted to taste the taste of the potatoes that the old man had eaten so happily. As long as you eat a little less, even if it is poisonous, it will be fine. Wang Yi had eaten more slightly poisonous animals and plants during the march.
Qin Jun, the bait who had suffered more than half of the casualties, happily roasted the potatoes that Zhao Jun discarded. Under the fortress, Zhao Jun looked up at the solid stone wall, revealing a panicked look.
Seeing the former fortress of the Zhao army that had been repaired in this way, even ordinary veterans could see that the current situation was wrong from their own experience in marching.
Zhao Kuo's expression was a little dazed.
The commander of the Qin army actually retreated into the fortress, and this fortress looked to have just been repaired, and it was obvious that the destination of the commander of the Qin army might be here.
You can't use the commander of the Qin army as bait, right?
Zhao Kuo's IQ is fine, but he is inexperienced. Such a strange situation made him realize the truth consciously.
It is impossible for the Qin army to let the main general be used as bait. The Lord will be the bait, who will organize the attack?
Wang Di was really in front, and a general who had fought with Wang Di on the battlefield recognized him. So Wang Ji is no longer the chief general of the Qin army?
Wang Ji is not the main general, so who is the main general of the Qin army?
Who is it?!
A terrible name appeared in Zhao Kuo's heart, a name that made his hands and feet numb just thinking about it, and only cold sweat broke out on his head.
"General! Checkmate! We're going to get out of here! The adjutant said anxiously.
Zhao Kuo came back to his senses: "Yes, yes, you have to leave here and return the same way!" ”
The adjutant general said: "There must be Qin troops waiting for us on the original road, we should turn back to the camp from the east mountain." Our baggage is in the camp! If that person comes, he will have to go back to the camp if he wants to defend it! ”
Obviously, not only Zhao Kuo, but all the people with brains have already guessed that the original Qin army's main general, Wang Di, can be used as bait, and the Qin army's main general can only be that person.
Although they guessed, they didn't even dare to say "that person's" name. Just by the name in their minds, they were in a tremble.
Zhao Kuo said in a panic: "Yes, turn over the mountain!" Let's go! ”
Zhao Kuo was lucky. The speed of their march was very fast, and the mountains were so high, the Qin army must not have had time to set up a siege on the mountain!
The Zhao army ran towards the east mountain in a panic, and on the top of the mountain, it was attacked by the Qin army's rolling wood and stone throwing. Before Zhao Jun, who ran to the front, saw the banner of the Qin army, he was crushed into the mud by the rolling wooden boulder.
"The Qin army is already on the mountain? How is it so fast?! The lieutenant was surprised.
Zhao Kuo saw that the rolling logs and boulders kept falling, and he was timid.
He couldn't see how many people were on the mountain, and he couldn't tell in his heart how many people there were on the mountain. He only saw rolling logs and boulders falling from the top of the hill, and the soldiers turned into flesh without any resistance, as if this was not a battle between two armies, but a force between heaven and earth.
Attacking from the foot of the mountain to the top, just looking up at the top of the mountain, will cause this frustration.
Zhao Jun has experienced a lot, and he has become accustomed to this fear, and he still charges up the mountain in waves.
Zhao Kuo experienced this kind of horror for the first time, and for the first time saw countless people without any struggle in front of him, he turned into a mass of flesh and blood that could not be seen in human form. He couldn't help but feel a strong despair in his heart.
Can't go up the hill anymore! Can't beat it!
His fear told him so, so he called in and told Zhao to stop charging up the mountain.
"Go back! Return the way you came from the entrance to the river valley! Zhao Kuo roared, "The terrain of the river valley is gentle, and we are outnumbered, so we will definitely be able to break up their encirclement!" ”
The lieutenants disagreed with Zhao Kuo's judgment.
Even if the Qin army on the mountain set off at the same time as them, one flat road and one mountain road, the travel time would definitely be much longer than their own.
They guessed that the other side must have used a highly mobile force like cavalry, and the number of them would not be too large, and the time for rearmament in the mountains would not be too long. Even if Zhao Jun uses human lives and goes to pile up ten for one, he can pile down the opponent's position.
But Zhao Kuo couldn't listen to the adjutant general's opinion.
He ordered the entire Zhao army to attack and fall into the trap of the Qin army, which has proved to be a wrong decision. Compared with the fear of facing the Qin army and death, the fact that he had made a huge mistake when he first entered the battlefield made it even more difficult for him to accept.
Now the lieutenants are opposing his decision, which makes him a little embarrassed and angry.
So Zhao Kuo insisted on going his own way and ordered the rear army of the Zhao army to become the vanguard and break through from the original road.
Because when Zhao Kuo first arrived at the front-line position, he replaced the middle- and lower-level generals who were older and could not listen to him. The current middle- and lower-ranking generals are either his retainers or those who are too junior to disobey his orders. Therefore, even if the experienced generals in the army did not agree with Zhao Kuo's judgment, the Zhao army still withdrew from the mountain, returned the same way, and broke through from the mouth of the valley.
Sima Jin had already set up a crossbow array, and he was waiting for Zhao Jun to come.
When he saw Zhao Jun's figure, a wicked smile appeared on Sima Jin's face.
"Beat out the banner of our Wu Anjun." Sima Jin laughed loudly, "The flag tree is higher, so that the Zhao people can see it clearly!" ”
The Qin soldiers all laughed along with the general.
They lowered Wang Di's banner and replaced it with the white banner of Wu Anjun, and waved it high.
Zhao Junbing Feng came to the valley mouth, and before he was within the range of Qin Bing's crossbow arrows, he first saw Wu Anjun's banner from a distance.
At this moment, the movement of the Zhao army advancing came to a strange halt, and almost all the soldiers held their breath.
Despair slowly climbed up to their hearts, like a big hand, holding their hearts in the palm of their hands, gradually clenching them.
Even illiterate soldiers can read the shape of the flag. Because it was their nightmare, they sneaked a look at the flag before they set off, praying that they wouldn't encounter it.
"Bai Qi ......" I don't know who shouted the name first in a dumb voice.
Zhao Jun's formation was out of order.
Some of the soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time dropped their weapons and crouched down with their heads in their hands, breaking down emotionally and not daring to accept this reality.
The generals wandered on horseback, flustered and did not know how to rebuild their morale.
Zhao Kuo got the news and rode over from the middle section.
He whipped the crumbling soldiers on both sides with his horsewhip and shouted, "What about the white rise! Bai Qi is already old! He's almost fifty this year! My father is Ma Fujun Zhao Hao! Zhao Hao, the horse service monarch who was feared by the King of Qin! My soldiers, don't be afraid of the white rising! ”
In Zhao Kuo's angry roar, Zhao Jun's chaos was contained.
Ma Fujun, who once defeated the Qin army in an almost impossible situation, is a myth, and his reputation in the hearts of the soldiers is probably higher than that of Lian Po, who has a better record but wins and losses.
The chaotic mood of the Zhao soldiers was appeased, and they picked up and clenched the weapons in their hands again.
After the reform of King Wuling of Zhao, the Zhao people rode and shot in Hufu, and martial arts became popular. The quality of the individual soldiers of the Zhao State is superior in the Seven Kingdoms.
Zhao Kuo gave them hope.
They looked at Zhao Kuo with hopeful eyes.
These low-level soldiers of Zhao State believe in Ma Fujun, so they believe that this makes them not have to be afraid of Ma Fuzi of Qin State Wu Anjun.
Wielding the weapons in their hands, with the courage to regroup from renewed hope, they roared loudly and rushed towards Qin's position.
Then, he fell in a rain of arrows.
This time he fought with the crossbow array of the Qin State, and until the moment of death, there was no look of despair on the faces of the soldiers of the Zhao State.
Just like when they attacked the position of Han Wangshan, which only had 5,000 light cavalry, and one after another Zhao soldiers fell under the boulders, they did not despair.
The Zhao people are still martial, they are not afraid of the Qin army, and they are not afraid of Bai Qi.
……
The main account of the Qin army, one after another heralds kept coming in and out, bringing intelligence and taking away orders.
Bai Qi sat at the table, his brows furrowed, and his expression was a little solemn.
All the good news came from the front.
Zhao Kuo was more wasteful than he imagined. He first attacked the position on the mountain, and after a short period of failure, he turned around and broke through from the mouth of the river valley; After being blocked by a crossbow arrow at the mouth of the valley, he turned his troops again and broke through to the mountain.
Zhao Kuo's uncertain decision gave the positions on the mountains and at the mouth of the river valley time to fully strengthen the positions and wait for reinforcements, relieving the pressure on Bai Qi to command the Qin army to encircle.
Later, Zhao Kuo attacked Wang Yi again. Wang Ji has also finished resting, relying on the fortress to hold on.
Zhao Kuo couldn't attack for a long time, so he set up camp in the valley and turned from attack to defense.
In Bai Qi's eyes, Zhao Kuo made mistakes in every step. But he never expected that Zhao Kuo would be so stupid!
Bai Qi originally thought that Zhao Kuo would lead half of the Zhao army to attack, and the other half would stay in the position on the east bank of Danshui. In this way, it can not only keep the position and baggage, but also reinforce Zhao Kuo when he is besieged.
When a normal general is pursuing, it is impossible to completely ignore his rear road and logistics.
The light cavalry sent by Bai Qi to the mountains were "death squads". He originally thought that this cavalry would definitely be swallowed up by the attack from both sides, so that he could wait for the Qin reinforcements to arrive.
Who would have thought that Zhao Kuo actually took away all the main forces of the Zhao army, and the Zhao army poured out, leaving only a few logistics non-combatants in the original position.
Bai Qi only sent two elite troops to block Zhao Kuo's retreat, and the rest of the troops were used to attack the Zhao army fortress on the east bank of Danshui.
He wanted to first capture the fortress of the Zhao army, which had no main general, annihilate part of the Zhao army, and then slowly devour Zhao Kuo's surrounded army.
Now the Qin army has driven straight into the original position of the Zhao army, and basically has not encountered resistance.
Zhao Kuo's army, which was surrounded by Bai Qi, was actually the main force of the Zhao army?! How can Qin Jun eat so many people?!
The Qin army was able to rely on the main transportation routes to block the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhao State with very few troops. Similarly, the state of Zhao could in turn rely on these narrow arteries to resist the offensive of the Qin army.
In other words, now the Qin army and the Zhao army have entered a stalemate, the Zhao army cannot break through, and the Qin army cannot eat the Zhao army.
Zhao Kuo's stupid hand actually dragged Bai Qi back.
Bai Qi has been fighting for decades, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation. I couldn't think of a solution for a while.
Bai Qi was depressed and aggrieved, so he had to write back to Xianyang and ask the gentleman to find a way.
Now the Zhao army and the Qin army are deadlocked, and not a single soldier can move in vain. The outcome of this war depends on the sidelines - whether the reinforcements from Zhao State will arrive first, or the reinforcements from Qin State will arrive first.
Both Zhao and Qin had taken out almost all of their elite troops, and it was difficult for both sides to send reinforcements. But Zhao still has a veteran like Lian Po to support, and the Qin side can't even send the generals to support.
Bai Qi was trapped on the battlefield of Changping, and the other generals had to guard the borders of Qin and several other countries in case other countries took the opportunity to attack Qin.
He couldn't think of anyone else the King of Qin could send to support him.
After Bai Qi finished delivering the letter, he sighed helplessly.
His brilliant achievements in his life won't leave a stain on such a stupid place, right?
……
The king of Zhao received the news that Zhao Kuo's entire army was besieged a few days before the king of Qin.
The young King Zhao's brain immediately buzzed, and he almost fainted.
King Zhao actually had the psychological preparation for Zhao Kuo's defeat.
