Zheng Anping was a halberdier, so he always stood in the back row during this fierce battle. He only stepped forward to expand the breakthrough after the spearmen in front opened the passage. With Zheng Anping's martial arts, it was not difficult to deal with a few peasant soldiers. What's more, Zheng Anping paid more attention to maintaining his position in the formation, so he gained a lot and was not in great danger.
Ye Ling was a spearman, and he was the one who charged forward. He suffered some injuries on his body, but fortunately they were not serious and did not touch his bones. Under the leadership of Ye Ling, although Hu Yang's personal camp was only the militia of Ye County and could not be said to be a front selection, it still had the momentum of selecting a front. Compared with Sima Jin and Gong Dafu's personal camp, it was not at all Difference!
After the Gongdafu formed a surprise attack group, Ye Ling was sent to the assault group and separated from Zheng Anping; Zheng Anping also assumed the command of the left-wing group as a doctor.
Eight battalions normally have 800 shield soldiers, 800 halberd soldiers, 800 crossbow soldiers, and 1,600 spear soldiers. In the previous battles since the war, there have been some losses. Just now, the two battalions attacked alternately and broke through three camp fences in a row. Although the losses were not great, they were only compared to Zhao Jun.
In the age of cold weapons, it was not easy to kill a person with one blow unless it directly hit the vital point. It usually only caused varying degrees of damage. When both sides are skilled in martial arts, hitting each other is the most common situation. If you are killed by the opponent, it is most taboo to fall to the ground. As long as you still have breath, you must get up and return to your own side. Otherwise, they will either be trampled to death, or their heads will be harvested. In the battle just now, the Qin army was the victor, so among the soldiers who fell in front of the battle, all the Zhao army were killed, while the Qin army was treated. But no matter what, each battalion cannot be full.
The left-wing group led by Zheng Anping now has about 200 shield soldiers, 300 halberd soldiers, and 300 crossbow soldiers, following the assault group at a distance of thirty or forty steps, advancing slowly. Zheng Anping was a temporarily promoted commander. He did not have a horn and could only command with passwords. And the number of people he commanded was close to a thousand, and he was from outside and spoke with an accent. For the convenience of command, Zheng Anping specially captured a Qin soldier with a strong voice to issue orders on his behalf.
When the assault group changed from walking to running and assaulted forward, Zheng Anping did not order the troops to speed up and still maintained the original speed. So when the Zhao army's right battalion rotated and prepared to attack the assault group, it happened to expose its flank to the Qin army. Zheng Anping ordered: "Shoot!" A shower of arrows passed by. Although the result was not great, it slightly delayed Zhao Jun's turn. However, the small commotion here is obviously not enough to attract the attention of General Zhao Jun. The frontal assault group is the top priority! The drum beat from the center army was urgent, urging the right battalion to quickly complete the rotation. Although the five hundred generals in the right camp were careful and slightly bent their formation to resist Zheng Anping's attack, this rotation was still fatal. After Zheng Anping shot an arrow from a closer distance, he immediately ordered "Get up!" and his troops also changed to running. He originally had more troops than Zhao Jun. In addition, Zhao Jun's combat direction was towards the center, and the forces on the flanks were quickly defeated. Zhao Jun's right camp was completely unprotected and could only be slaughtered. Although many soldiers of Sergeant Zhao fought desperately with their personal courage, hoping to have someone to support them when they died, only a few realized this wish. After the courageous people were cut down one by one, the remaining people dispersed in a rush. Zheng Anping broke through the first front without much loss!
He just tidied up the team a little, leaving the more seriously injured soldiers to harvest Zhao Jun's heads, while the rest of the troops continued to advance. When he advanced to the flank of the enemy's first front line, Zhao's first front line also collapsed. So he saw the assault group rushing towards the second front where the main general was.
Listening to Zhao Jun's war drums and watching Zhao Jun's mobilization, Zheng Anping could clearly feel Zhao Jun's anxiety. People on the third and fourth fronts are mobilizing upwards, hoping to catch up and participate in the battle; while the central group on the second front is desperately resisting, buying time for the arrival of reinforcements. But Zheng Anping's direct enemy still made the same mistake as the right battalion on the first front: eager to join the battle in the central part. If they had dealt with Zheng Anping with all their strength, they might have been able to sustain it for a longer period of time, but the impulsive decision made under anxiety led to bitter consequences. The right battalion did not even bend his flanks and turned directly to the center, preparing to attack the unprotected flanks of the Qin army's assault group. How could Zheng Anping give him this opportunity? After saying "shoot!", arrows rained down like rain! The Zhao army was not afraid of death and attacked the flank of the Qin army's assault group, regardless of the shots fired by Zheng Anping's troops. Zheng Anping shouted "Shoot!" three times in a row and shot down almost half of the soldiers in Zhao Jun's right battalion. The rest of the soldiers were also injured to varying degrees, especially the injuries to the shield soldiers, which had the greatest impact. The spearmen on the outermost side of the Qin army's assault group turned their spearheads and blocked the Zhao army's attack. Zheng Anping's troops caught up and cut down Zhao Jun row by row. The Zhao army was defeated, but they still fought desperately regardless of casualties. Even those who were seriously injured and fell to the ground were sitting with weapons in hand, making fighting postures. But Zheng Anping knew that the battle was coming to an end!
Sure enough, soon there was a burst of cheers from the Qin army, the drums on the Zhao army stopped, and the flag fell down. The Zhao army fell into silence for a moment, watching the Qin army charging towards them. Bells rang in all battalions in unison, and the soldiers turned around and ran away. The Qin army then pursued, but the Zhao army was defeated and completely driven away from the camp. At this time, the Qin army was actually in disarray, and almost all of them were fighting independently. Finally, a long trumpet sounded from the center, ending the pursuit, and all battalions stopped and formed their formations.
Sima Jin led the rear army to catch up. The rear army did not stop, passed through Zhao Jun's camp and continued to advance in the direction of Zhao Jun's retreat. Sima Jin got out of the car and simply said to the doctor, who was covered in blood: "But beheading level, protect the wounded and return to camp!"
After passing the campground, you will actually reach the West Bridge of Fushui. The bridge deck, which usually looks very wide, was filled with retreating soldiers. From time to time, some people were squeezed off the bridge. Those who knew how to swim simply jumped into the river and swam, because the river was full of heads.
How could Sima Jin, who was following him, give up such an opportunity and harvest the spoils of war? A hail of arrows fell from the sky, Zhao Jun was shot down one by one, and the river was dyed blood. At this time, Zhao Jun was unable to turn around and resist. He was only thinking about crossing the river, jumping into the water, or getting on the bridge. He squeezed in from behind and pushed some people who couldn't swim into the river, and many of them drowned alive. The massacre ended about half an hour later. Sima Jin cut off more than 2,000 troops and returned with satisfaction. At this time, the remaining former troops had just had time to wrap up the wounds of the wounded.
Those whose skin has been scratched rarely need to be bandaged because the blood has solidified. Bandaging is just to give psychological comfort or slightly relieve the pain. The focus of treatment is wounds that are deep to the bone. They generally do not bleed much, but the wounds are prone to blackening and ulceration. The black blood needs to be completely squeezed out until bright red blood flows out. This is a painful and long process. Some of the wounded had their intestines dislodged and had to simply stuff their intestines back into their stomachs and wrap them tightly with cloth. To be honest, whether they could survive or not depended entirely on luck - and most people did not have this good luck. Some of them even just want to die early. There are not many fractures, most of them are arm bones, which were injured by heavy poles. Usually, they can be tied up with a few wooden sticks and fixed with cloth strips and that's it. Although it was the simplest treatment, it still took a lot of time because so many people were almost injured.
Zhao Jun's heads were hung on their own camp fence, and Sima Jin simply asked about the number. Zhao Jun's camp was very simple, with only thin wooden sticks used to support the camp fence. Each camp had ten carriages. The cattle were frightened during the battle, and most of them ran away without knowing where they were. The flag and drum carriage of General Zhao Jun was completely captured. None of the three people in the carriage ran away and sat quietly beside the carriage. The packhorse was tied up near the camp gate and guarded by a group of Qin soldiers. Sima Jin went over and asked: "Sima Jin, the fifth official of the Qin Dynasty. Do you dare to invite me to take charge of you?"
Three people stood up, and one of them said: "I have ten thousand generals from Zhao Zhao, both of them are sons of the Chen clan, Zhong and Ji!"
Sima Jin asked: "All Zhao family?"
Zhao Zhun said: "Of course!"
Sima Jin said sadly: "We are all Zhao family, why should we fight like this!" Zhao Zhun did not answer.
Sima Jin sent a military envoy to report back to Wucheng. Sima's army won a great victory. Ten thousand people in Zhao's army died, and ten thousand generals were captured! The military envoy flew away.
Sima Jin was worried that the defense of Wucheng was weak and there were only a thousand old and weak soldiers. When the army returned, he did not stop and drove directly back to Wucheng. Young Master Yiren has been following the rear army and has encountered almost no danger. Sima Jin actually gave him the task of leading the entire army, and only asked all the public officials and officials to assist him. Everyone knew that this was to thank Young Master Yiren, and they all understood it. They also used a recovered cow to pull a cart and brought Zhao Zhun and three others back to Wucheng.
The official who led the assault also suffered several arrow wounds. Although he walked in the middle of the assault group, he did not participate in the fighting and only played the trumpet. People around him also consciously protect him. He didn't use a flag, so Zhao Jun didn't know that the supreme commander was inside the assault group. Moreover, in the Qin army, it seems that fighting according to regulations has become a habit for everyone. The degree of reliance on commanders is not as high as that of the Zhao army. Unlike the Zhao army, once the flag and drum chariot is captured, the entire army will immediately collapse. He had already bandaged his wounds and was patrolling everywhere, comforting the wounded and sometimes helping out. Sima Jin summoned him with a trumpet sound. When he saw him, he greeted him very affectionately and gave him some good words of encouragement. Then asked him who the commander of the left wing was. The male doctor replied: "Zhonggang's personal guard doctor Zheng!" Sima Jin asked the male doctor to take him to visit him.
Ye Ling was the vanguard of the assault force. Although he was brave and invincible, he also suffered many injuries. Not counting scratches, the wounds on his body and legs were deep to the bones. Zheng Anping was by his side squeezing the blood for him.
Doctor Gong said: "It's Ye Ling and Doctor Zheng!"
