Although the Qin army's tactics were not very lethal, they effectively stopped the Zhao army's attack. The Zhao army was forced to advance step by step in a fighting posture. When Zhao Kuo looked back, Meng Ao was almost catching up. Although many people came to stop him, they were not enemies of the combined Qin army. Looking up, there are three or five people standing on the high lookout post, one of whom is old. Zhao Kuo didn't care whether the man was Bai Qi or not, so he shouted in the formation: "Capture Lord Wu'an!"
The general understood this and shouted: "Qi! Capture Lord Wu'an!~"
The battalion captain waved the big flag and shouted: "Capture Mr. Wu'an!~ Capture Mr. Wu'an!~" He rushed forward quickly, with ten flag guards closely guarding him in front, and rushed to the top of the mountain despite the obstruction of the Qin army. go.
Seeing the big flag rushing forward, all the soldiers from the camp rushed over excitedly, shouting loudly, "Capture Lord Wu'an!~Capture Lord Wu'an!~" They rushed up along the gap regardless, but the Qin army couldn't stop it for a while. Although many Zhao soldiers were stabbed, the troops rushed forward and divided the Qin army into two pieces, causing considerable casualties to the Qin army, especially since most of the Qin army were still sick and weak.
Bai Qi, who was keeping his head frozen while observing the movements below the mountain, also heard the shouts below and asked, "What did he say?"
Wang Lu said: "But I am heartbroken and crazy!"
Bai Qi listened carefully and said, "I got it, capture Lord Wu An! Hum, he also knows that Lord Wu An is here?" He shouted to the audience: "Bo'er, who does he know Lord Wu An?" "
Bai Qi's eldest son, Uncle Bai, is now Bai Qi's chief of guards, commanding one hundred guards. Bai Qi's relatives were all assigned to serve as officers in various camps of the Nanjun Army, leaving only a hundred people around him. After the epidemic broke out, most of the 100 people got sick, but they could barely survive due to their strong bodies. Daily training was waived, but their daily duties were not affected.
When Uncle Bai heard his father calling him, he immediately led fifty people and asked them to take a hundred steps forward with spears and arrows. Then Zhao Jun broke through the Qin camp's defense and rushed toward the top of the mountain. Uncle Bai ordered: "Put the spear! Hold the bow! Shoot!" Fifty arrows were shot out. Almost all the Zhao troops who rushed twenty steps away were shot down through the chest, and most of the flag guards were hit by arrows.
Uncle Bai shot down the battalion captain who had lost his protection with another arrow. The flag fell twice and he fell unwillingly. Others also shot down the Zhao Jun who were rushing in front. Then comes the third arrow.
These fifty people are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. Although they are sick, their martial arts skills are still there. With just three arrows, dozens of Zhao soldiers were shot down, completely frightening the enemy. Zhao Jun almost stopped attacking and stood still. The Qin camp soldiers who were divided into two parts attacked with bamboo poles and bows and arrows, and people kept falling around. The Zhao army formed a circle almost subconsciously, resisting attacks from all directions, and surrounded Zhao Kuo in the center.
Zhao Kuo held his halberd and shouted: "Wu Anjun, do you know Zhao Kuo, the horse-wearing son?"
Bai Qi had a splitting headache and said, "Ignorant madman, this is what you are doing!"
Wang Lu said: "The fish swimming in that cauldron will be caught if they are tired."
As the Zhao army retreated and got mixed up with the Qin army, the fifty guards could no longer shoot arrows and rushed forward, each holding a spear.
The Zhao army was Zhao Kuo's personal camp and had a very high level of training. As long as the Qin army around them dared to attack forcefully, they would almost always be killed or injured. Therefore, the Qin army could only surround them on all sides, shouting and not daring to come forward. Uncle Bai led Bai Qi's bodyguards to arrive. They all held spears and walked steadily. Bai Bo stepped forward first and made a false thrust with his spear, causing Zhao Jun to defend himself. Bai Bo then stabbed Zhao Jun for a second time, provoking Zhao Jun and throwing him out of the circle. Encouraged by Uncle Bai, the other guards used their spears to attack with force, knocking down one of them.
Uncle Bai faced the second man again, with a false stab to draw away the opponent's defense. He hit him in the abdomen with a spear. Just as he was about to lift him up, his eyes suddenly turned black, his hands and feet became weak, and his physical strength was reduced due to the disease. It happened at the most critical time. Although Uncle Bai's vision turned black, his consciousness was still clear and he managed to keep himself from falling. But then he felt a heavy blow on his neck, and a heartbreaking pain hit him. He finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell down.
Zhao Kuo saw that the dozens of people rushing up were unusual, he gave a loud shout and went out first. They saw the soldier who had been hit by a spear thrust his halberd into Uncle Bai's throat (he didn't know who this person was), and the others seemed a little distracted. Zhao Kuo raised a halberd and stabbed down a lost Qin soldier. Two Qin soldiers nearby thrust their spears at him. Zhao Kuo made a circle with his halberd, and the two spears were knocked to the ground. Zhao Kuo suddenly stepped forward and stabbed another person with one halberd. Just as he was about to throw away the Qin army's corpses and continue the attack, His eyes also turned black for a while. The two nearby spears stabbed at him like poisonous snakes. The soldiers around him shouted and stepped forward to block Zhao Kuo. Both soldiers were stabbed down. The short period of time they gained allowed Zhao Kuo to regain his vision and consciousness. Seeing the two people beside him fall down, their blood was raging, he turned his wrist, pulled out his halberd, stepped forward, stabbed continuously from left to right, and knocked over the two Qin soldiers. There was no enemy in front to stop him, and he shouted loudly. Rush forward. Zhao Jun behind him also shouted and rushed out. The Qin army swarmed forward, with swords and spears raised. The scene was immediately chaotic, and all kinds of sounds were heard.
Zhao Kuo rushed out. When he looked back, he saw that less than a hundred Zhao troops had broken out of the encirclement, and all of them were injured. Zhao Kuo said: "I am about to meet Lord Wu'an, please help me!"
Everyone said in unison: "I obey your order!"
Zhao Kuo glanced at the fighting group, raised his halberd and rushed to the top of the mountain.
Dozens of steps away, under the lookout post, half of the fifty guards were waiting with their bows and arrows bent, while the other half were holding spears in their hands, standing upright.
On the high platform, Wang Hao shouted loudly: "Jun Wu An is here, the general can let go!"
Zhao Kuo knew that he could no longer be kind today, so he gathered his soldiers and said, "Jun Wu An, do you dare to fight with me?"
The officer said: "The situation is so strong that the victory or defeat is decided, so why fight again! I hope the general will release his enemy and the Zhao soldiers will remove their armor, is that okay?"
Zhao Kuo said: "I, the people of Zhao, have left the country and don't expect to return. Fortunately, the bodies are left in the wilderness!" He ordered: "Disband the formation! Start!"
Zhao Shi quickly spread to both sides and rushed towards the high platform.
The bowstrings sounded continuously, and the Zhao people continued to fall, but the remaining ones still charged forward bravely. Zhao Kuo drew a circle with his long halberd on his chest and deflected the incoming arrows. Because the distance was too close, although they were spread out, the opponent's archery skills were outstanding, and they aimed and shot directly, with a high hit rate. And everyone also knew that this warrior with strong martial arts skills was Zhao Kuo, the general of the Zhao army, so naturally they took more care of him. Zhao Kuo relaxed his grip a little, and an arrow hit his body, which shocked him; then more arrows hit him.
Zhao Kuo fell...
Most of the Zhao troops who followed were shot down before they could reach the high platform. The few who rushed over were stabbed with spears by the Qin troops who were just waiting for work. There was a mess in front of the observation tower.
Meng Ao also rushed to the top of the mountain with one or two hundred Qin troops. The battle on the top of the mountain was over.
The Zhao army in the east camp faithfully completed their mission. They held off the Qin reinforcements at the mouth of the valley with their lives until Zhao Kuo fell and the reinforcements failed to go up the mountain.
Now that Zhao Kuo has fallen, Zhao Kuo's personal camp is still fighting against the trapped beasts and resisting desperately. They have also killed about ten of Bai Qi's guards, and the rest dare not come forward. Qin and Zhao faced each other to see which side would fall first.
Taniguchi's reinforcements finally dispersed the two groups of Zhao troops at the foot of the mountain, and his losses were not heavy. After reorganizing the team, they drove towards the battle group on the mountain and formed a formation behind the encirclement of the Qin army. The doctor of the Qin Army in Nanjun gave an order, and the Qin Army quickly retreated to the rear of the Taniguchi Army's position. In fact, there were only about a hundred people left in Zhao Kuo's camp, and they were all exhausted, and their muscles began to tremble. Seeing a new force coming, knowing that it was inevitable, Jia Yuyong rushed over like a moth throwing fire, and was immediately surrounded by a dense crowd. Most of them were shot down by arrows, and the rest were stabbed by spears.
At this point, no one in the Zhao army who rushed up the mountain could still stand.
The bus leader who led the team asked the troops to rest where they were, while he went up the mountain to report to Bai Qi and Wang Lu. He found the bodies of Zhao Kuo and others on the top of the mountain, and was shocked: Zhao Jun had broken through here!
The whole hilltop was filled with blood.
Gongcheng reported: "I was ordered to order 2,000 elite soldiers to assist in the battle. Now I have defeated the obstruction and entered the middle of the mountain. I obey the order!"
Wang Lu said: "We have come from afar to work hard. We camped in the middle of the mountain to rest. We separated a battalion to harvest the heads and rescue the injured."
I took the bus and took the order.
After the battle, Bai Qi's guards carried the bodies of the fallen soldiers and supported their seriously injured companions to the top of the mountain. One of the guards cried: "Young master, if you don't hold back, I will be beheaded! I am willing to be punished!"
Bai Qi said: "According to the law of Qin, even if you lose a senior official and gain a general, you will be exempted from sin!"
The guards cried bitterly and carried over the five dead people, one of whom was Uncle Bai. Bai Qi tremblingly descended from the high platform. This battle seemed to have a great impact on him, and he suddenly aged a lot. He looked at the five people one by one and said, "They were all carefully cleaned and buried here, five of them in the same cave!"
One of the guards said: "I would like to behead Zhao Kuo and sacrifice him in front of me!"
Bai Qi said: "No! Even though Kuo is from Zhao, he is also a peer! He has the courage to teach before dying in battle, which is really commendable! He cannot be humiliated! I am willing to return and do not harm him."
Wang Lu said: "With a general, the whole army will have merit..."
Bai Qi said: "The credit belongs to the whole army, and I will repay it to the king and the prime minister!" Wang Lu couldn't say anything else.
Bai Qi said: "If the Zhao people are willing to return, you can keep them without attacking them. Those captured will be treated as first class."
So Wang Hao sent someone to pass on the order, but if there were any prisoners, they could be treated as first class. So those who were seriously injured, those who were sick and had stomach upsets, and those who were frightened out of fear were all kept alive and imprisoned in one place. There were always five or six thousand people.
Wang Hao called a hundred people with minor injuries and injuries to come up and carry the body away from the top of the mountain.
The dozens of people who attacked the mountain were already injured and were only supported by their breath. After being shot down or stabbed, almost none of them survived.
The guards naturally would not let the prisoners approach the observation tower. They piled the bodies together and asked the prisoners to carry them back. Some of the prisoners knew each other and knew that Zhao Kuo was among the dead, but no one said anything for fear that the Qin army would know about it and change their minds.
Bai Qi also asked the military envoy to pass the order. If there are relatives and friends who are willing to take it back, they can take it back. Some more corpses were carried to the prisoner pen.
