The Zhao army, like the Qin army, has the strongest central army and weak wings. As long as the central army is defeated, the two wings cannot form combat effectiveness and defeat is inevitable.
What worries Wang Lu is Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness.
The two countries Han and Wei have been suppressed by the Qin State, and they are inherently weaker in the face of the Qin army.
The State of Zhao went back and forth in the battles with the State of Qin, and was not at a disadvantage. In recent years, there has been a tendency to counterattack the State of Qin, and the momentum of its soldiers was extremely high.
Wang Hao even suspected that the two thousand elite cavalrymen of Zhao State who rushed at the front all had internal energy.
"There is no doubt that all these cavalrymen do have inner energy." Lu Buwei stood next to Wang Lu with a solemn look on his face.
As the planner and executor of the strategy of "destroying the Zhou Kingdom, seizing the Jiuding, and dividing the Three Jins", Lu Buwei did not stay in Xianyang. Instead, he followed Wang Lu as an army strategist and earned himself the first military glory in his life.
He was not surprised by the strength of the Zhao army. The Qin State also had such an army. He was just a little surprised that the Zhao State would use such an elite army to support the Zhou State.
This is no longer the era when the king of Zhou ruled the world. The survival of Zhou did not mean much to all countries. This is why Qin dared to send troops to destroy Zhou.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Except for Han Wei, the two guys who felt the coldness of lips and teeth, and Zhao Guo, no country sent troops to aid Zhou.
To put it bluntly, to Zhao Guo, all the people in Zhou State combined were not as valuable as these 10,000 elite soldiers, but Zhao Guo still sent troops.
In addition, there is another news that only a few people know. King Zhao Kuo has not shown up for a long time.
The news released by Zhao Kuo said that he was on a tour, and there were also rumors that Zhao Kuo had reached a critical juncture in his cultivation of immortality and was in retreat. Some people said that Zhao Kuo was sick, or even terminally ill. The most outrageous theory was that King Zhao had passed away, but the Zhao court was worried about trouble, so it kept the funeral secret.
Some of the news is quite reasonable, and some of it is very nonsense.
But no matter which statement is made, it confirms the fact: King Zhao Kuo has not shown his face for a long time.
As a monarch, it is obviously not normal for him to not show his face for a long time.
The Qin State sent troops to attack Sanchuan. In addition to strategic needs, it also wanted to test the Zhao State.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Guo responded as soon as he tested it: sending troops to support Zhou Guo.
Lu Buwei had a feeling that Zhao State seemed to be trying its best to curb the development of Qin State, even if it lost some interests.
"The background of Zhao State is indeed terrifying." Wang Hao put his right hand on the hilt of his sword, staring at the battlefield tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.
To be honest, he despised Lu Buwei in his heart. On the one hand, he was influenced by the traditional thinking of the Qin State and looked down on businessmen. On the other hand, as a general who relied on military merit to climb up step by step, he really disliked people who relied on "crooked ways" to get to the position.
Lu Buwei happened to occupy both.
However, even if Wang Hao looked down on Lu Buwei, he would never show it on the battlefield.
As long as you go to the battlefield, you have to let go of all the huge conflicts and wait until the battlefield is over.
"In addition, if I guess correctly, the two wings of the Zhao army should not be the Zhao army, but the Han army and the Wei army." Lu Buwei pointed in the direction of Mang Mao and Bao Luan.
When he learned that the number of Zhao troops had increased significantly, he was very surprised. No matter how unreliable Qin's intelligence was, it would not be so wrong.
So he used his talent to scan the army in front of him.
As a result, three different colors emerged among the left, center and right armies. Among them, the Zhao army was the brightest, indicating that it was the most suitable teammate, followed by the Wei army, and the Han army was the darkest.
Combined with the fact that only the Three Jins sent troops to support the Zhou Kingdom, Lu Buwei immediately deduced that the army in front of him was the coalition of the Three Jins. This also explained why the Zhao army increased several times, and the left and right armies did not cooperate well with the Chinese army.
"Xingyang's army is..." Wang Hao was shocked.
"It's just an empty camp." Lu Buwei curled his lips.
It is obvious that the Qin scouts could not go to the camp of Han and Wei to count. Seeing the camp from a distance, they thought that the army was still there.
.
It is even more impossible to run to Zhao Jun to count them, and they don't even dare to get close. They can only wait for Zhao Jun to leave and infer based on the number of buried stoves.
However, the Qin army had already learned the approximate number of Zhao troops before, so they would inevitably relax their vigilance in this regard and not pay too much attention to whether the number of stoves increased or decreased.
In addition, Lu Buwei guessed that the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties were probably marching all the way. The Qin Army scouts had to take a long detour to avoid the detection of the Three Jin Dynasty scouts. Even if there was news, it could not be delivered in time.
"I didn't expect that Coach Zhao Jun would have such thoughts." Wang Hao said in a deep voice, his expression not very good.
The last time he was put together like this, he was still in Shangdang. Zhao Kuo used the Zhao army to hold back the Qin army. Jin Chan escaped from his shell and persuaded the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu to command the nominal four-nation coalition. In fact, the three Jin coalition defeated the Qin army.
This time he thought he would only have to face the Zhao army, but it turned out that he was facing the three Jin coalition forces again.
"The coach should be Le Cheng, the general of Zhao State who was second only to Lian Po." Lu Buwei said. He is half Zhao State. Although he has not been back for several years, as a talent possessor, his memory is still very good. , even if you only see it once from a distance while standing in the crowd, you can still remember it when you meet it again.
"What is his ability?" Wang Lu asked.
"I don't know." Lu Buwei shook his head. He was just a businessman when he was in Zhao State, how could he know such confidential things.
Although the Qin State has been collecting information on the civil and military ministers of Zhao State over the years, Le Cheng has not led troops in many battles, and it was a long time ago. It is particularly troublesome to collect. It is difficult to deduce Le Cheng's identity from the fragmented information. ability.
In addition, Qin State did not focus its main energy on Le Cheng. Zhao State had many more threats than Le Cheng.
"Spread out to the two wings." On the other side, Le Cheng saw the Qin army's chariots rushing over from a distance, without any intention of competing.
Only a fool would do it if the cavalry were to ram a chariot. Even heavy cavalry wearing armor would not be able to ram a chariot.
After receiving the order, Zhao Jun naturally divided into two teams and separated on both sides in a slight arc.
Sima Geng did not pursue. The collision force of the chariot was far greater than that of the cavalry, but its flexibility was far inferior. If he turned a corner to chase Zhao Jun's cavalry, not to mention the possibility of overturning, it would be impossible to catch up in terms of speed alone.
Once the formation is torn apart by the Zhao army, the scattered chariots will no longer form a deterrent and will only be massacred by the Zhao army.
The Qin army had a clear goal and kept rushing forward.
The cavalry ran away, followed by infantry, and behind the infantry were archers.
The cavalry can bypass the chariot, but the infantry and crossbowmen cannot!
As long as the Qin army rushes in front of them, it will be a one-sided massacre.
