This time,
Faced with Zhao Qian's behavior of escaping from battle.
With Lian Po's state of mind, he felt that his defenses were broken.
It's you who said the decisive battle in Handan.
You were the one who said it was a fight in the city.
It’s you who said that the imperial commander would conquer personally.
in the end,
Good for you,
At a disadvantage, you ran away first and left the mess to me?
However, looking at the Qi army cavalry coming in front of him like a raging tide, Lian Po had no time to care about Zhao Qian.
Five hundred steps...
Four hundred steps...
Three hundred steps...
The ferocious offensive almost changed the color of heaven and earth.
More than 100,000 cavalry galloped across the plain, kicking up dust all over the sky and making the whole earth tremble.
Especially before,
It has already staged a crushing victory in front of countless Zhao troops.
At this moment,
Even veterans who have experienced countless battlefields cannot help but feel a sense of fear deep in their hearts when looking at the rolling cavalry in front of them.
finally,
As the vanguard of the Qi army entered the range of the bow and arrow.
Lian Po pulled out the sword from his waist.
Pointing at the raging cavalry ahead, he roared: "Archers, fire arrows!"
In an instant,
Thousands of arrows were fired.
Densely packed arrows poured down like raindrops.
However, faced with such a terrifying scene,
The Qi army's cavalry did not slow down at all.
Huo Qubing took the lead, as if he had turned into the sharp blade at the tip of a spear, and rushed towards the Zhao army's formation without hesitation.
The locust-like arrows pierced the air with bursts of sound.
Falling among the charging cavalry of the Qi army.
The arrow landed on the armor, making a crisp metal collision sound.
But in the dense rain of arrows, there will always be arrows falling in the gaps between the armors.
One after another, soldiers of the Qi army fell off their horses.
However, in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, the charge did not slow down at all. No one was afraid. They still raised their weapons and charged against the rain of arrows.
Two hundred steps...
One hundred steps...
Fifty steps...
The enemy is close at hand.
Lian Po blushed and shouted loudly: "Raise your shield!"
The next moment,
In the Zhao army's formation,
All the crossbowmen retreated.
Wearing armor and holding huge shields, the heavily armed armored troops came to the front of the military formation.
Facing the approaching torrent of steel,
Insert the giant shield deeply into the ground, and then press the back of the giant shield with your flesh and blood body.
at the same time,
The spearmen put their spears on the shoulders of the heavy infantry in front of them.
At this moment,
Faced with such a surging cavalry force,
All the infantry can do is to stabilize the formation.
if not,
Once the formation is chaotic or a gap is broken, these infantry who can only run on their legs can only be chased and killed by the enemy's cavalry.
The torrent rushed in front of Zhao Jun.
The Qi army at the forefront, carrying the impact of their horses, crashed directly into the Zhao army's formation.
boom!
In the sound of metal clashing,
The officers and soldiers of the Qi army fell on their backs,
The high shields raised by the soldiers at the front of the Zhao army were like indestructible dams. They relied on the strength of their flesh and blood to block the charge of the Qi army.
However,
It didn't take long for the smile on Lian Po's face to appear,
As the follow-up cavalry continued to come, it was like a huge wave during a tsunami, one wave after another.
Constantly attacking Zhao Jun's military formation.
and,
This huge wave was still divided into three groups, sweeping in from the left, middle and right directions at the same time.
Under this huge impact,
Zhao Jun's defense line was quickly torn open by Qi Jun.
However, Lian Po was a battle-hardened man after all, and he was worthy of the title of Zhao's famous general.
When the gap appears,
Immediately mobilized the backup troops and moved forward to block the gap.
The entire military formation was like an indestructible fortress, always standing firm under the rapid and violent attacks of the Qi army.
Even Huo Qubing launched three consecutive charges, but failed to reopen Zhao Jun's military formation.
But when the main force of the Qi and Wei coalition forces arrived.
The battlefield situation changed instantly.
Under the command of Wei Qing, a 600,000-strong army began to encircle Zhao Jun.
Li Mu deliberately wanted to send cavalry to stop him, but Huo Qubing quickly led his army to meet him.
The second cavalry charge,
The Qi army still won a complete victory.
With the cavalry's defeat, Zhao completely lost its strategic initiative.
.......
Both sides fought from noon to dusk.
When the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the battlefield,
The entire battlefield was littered with the corpses of soldiers from both armies.
The ground was already muddy and soaked with blood.
in the air,
The smell of blood is everywhere.
at this time,
After experiencing successive attacks by the Qi army, the exhausted Zhao army finally showed its flaws.
As Huo Qubing led his troops to break away from the enemy's formation,
Zhao Jun's defense finally collapsed this time.
With the subsequent influx of Qi troops,
The balance of victory was completely tilted at this time.
Although Lian Po tried his best to stabilize the army and save the defeat.
This is due to the gap in strength and military strength, but no matter how hard we try, there is nothing we can do to save it.
As the collapse becomes apparent,
The battlefield began with a one-sided massacre.
The Qi and Wei coalition forces were like hungry wolves rushing into the sheepfold and launched a pursuit of the Zhao army.
Countless Zhao soldiers took off their helmets and armor and ran towards Handan.
At this time, Lian Po looked at the defeat of the entire army, and his heart was filled with sadness.
His reputation as a famous general was achieved by the piles of bones of countless soldiers.
At the same time, it also represents the glory and glory of Zhao State.
But with today's defeat,
The glory that Zhao State once enjoyed will all turn into the dust of history.
Such a scene,
Lian Po has seen too many things.
Recalling my life,
I don’t know how many small countries have been destroyed. Each of these small countries has its own glorious past.
At least,
When these small countries were founded.
Those founding kings must have had great ambitions in their hearts.
Lian Po suddenly thought of Emperor Wuling of Zhao.
More than thirty years ago,
Regardless of everyone's opposition, he decided to ride and shoot in Hufu.
It's him too,
It brought Zhao to unprecedented heights.
But now, all the glory of Zhao State will also pass away with this defeat.
"General, the enemy is catching up, let's retreat quickly!"
At this time,
The deputy general, who was covered in blood and looked a little embarrassed, came to Lian Po and shouted anxiously.
Lian Po handed the commander's seal in his hand to the other party, sighed quietly and said: "Return this commander's seal to your majesty."
"I am getting old...I am nearly seventy years old and I can no longer run anymore."
"And today, I have buried all the elites of Zhao State here. How can I go back and face the people of Zhao State?"
The deputy general said in disbelief: "General, you..."
Lian Po waved his hand: "You go first, I will be here to cut off the rear for the army."
"In addition, please tell Li Mu on my behalf that if you want the Zhao Kingdom to not be destroyed, you must not hold on to Handan. With the strength of the Qi army, Handan is not strong enough to hold on."
"After returning, I advise your majesty to move the capital as soon as possible to the west of Taihang. Only by relying on the difficulties and dangers of Taihang can we stop the Qi army."
