Obviously, this blow hit the Qin army's weak point. The shield soldiers could not protect the powerful cavalry, and the interposition of the cavalry also restricted the movement speed of the Qin army's infantry. Therefore, after several adjustments, the archer battalion finally achieved success. , and finally caused "greater" damage to the main force of the Qin army.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Countless Zhao troops have fallen to the arrows, spears, and sharp swords of the Qin army. More importantly, the big banner has fallen and the main general is gone. No matter how many casualties there are, facing the current situation, it will be impossible. It's already too late.
No matter how stupid you are, when you see the fall of Dazhen, you should know that the Zhao army in this camp is finished! And the Houjun captain, who was able to quickly assemble his own archers, naturally understood better what the fall of the great banner meant.
Seeing that his own army has fallen into endless chaos, the Qin army's cavalry is also trying to pass through the chaotic Chinese army's camp and rush towards the rear army, where he is.
After all, the school captain couldn't care less and shouted: "Retreat!" and immediately led his soldiers to retreat to the north.
Surrender was impossible only for the sake of the soldiers below. Those who had war horses immediately mounted their horses and fled to the north. A few quick-thinking commanders and generals organized their brothers to fight and retreat, and headed for the jungle to the west. go.
Fortunately, the chaos in the Chinese army hindered the Qin army. It also gave Zhao Jun in the rear army a chance to breathe.
But in the end, the protruding part of the Zhao Army's southern legion, a large camp of nearly ten thousand people, was completely defeated by the Qin Army's thunderous offensive in less than half an hour.
What is even more desperate is that the Qin army never wanted to fight a defeat. To the north of Zhao Jun's camp, a Qin army had already surrounded it and was eagerly waiting for the fleeing Zhao army to fall into the trap.
As a result, except for a few lucky ones who fled to the north, almost all of the Zhao army who fled to the north were intercepted and killed by the Qin army's partial divisions waiting for work in the north, including the school captain who fled first.
However, the knights who fled for their lives and the hundreds of infantry who retreated to the west were able to escape.
The knights of the Zhao army who were lucky enough to escape wildly slapped the horses' butts, without caring about the horses, and sprinted in the direction of the Zhao army. They knew that they must attack the Qin army in time, and the news of the annihilation of the Southern Army was sent back to the South Route Army camp. middle.
Because the Zhao army in the south was originally tasked with defense, under the arrangement of the general Li Jie, the main army of 50,000 was not gathered in one place. Instead, it was arranged forward and backward according to Zhao Kuo's instructions.
However, what Zhao Kuo and Li Jie did not expect was that the important battalion, which was responsible for monitoring the boundary signs and leading the Qin army, and assuming the early warning responsibility for the army on the South Road, with an army of tens of thousands, was actually defeated by the Qin army's offensive. So quick and so thorough. If the hundreds of defeated soldiers who had hid in the jungle had not brought the news back in time, the southern army would have suffered heavy losses.
As for the Qin Army, as soon as the Zhao Army's salient was eliminated, the army turned around and rushed towards the barrier on the west bank of Danshui. At almost the same time, the Qin Army that had circled to the north was finally defeated by the Zhao Army's North Road Army. Discover.
On the winding road, the galloping horses stirred up dust all over the sky, almost covering the entire sky and the high-hanging sun. Through the unclear sunlight, the Zhao army scouts walking on the hills were almost I was stunned by the sight in front of me.
I was just ordered to sweep away the Qin army's scouts on the northern route, but who would have imagined that I would see such a situation.
Looking at the endless marching column, the Zhao army scouts couldn't even believe their eyes: Shouldn't the main force of the Qin army be in Guanglang City? Why did they come to the north road? Or is it so close to the north of Danshui?
And while the Zhao army scouts were in a daze facing the Qin army, the Qin army apparently discovered the Zhao soldiers standing on the hills through the layers of dust.
The Qin army did not hesitate at all, and the Qin army in several places immediately took action.
"I'm afraid this army is no less than a hundred thousand!" A Zhao Jun scout murmured to himself.
After hearing this, the commander of the scout camp finally realized: The main force of the Qin army gathered here must have a plot, and they must report back to the Chinese army quickly, otherwise the army is in danger of overthrowing. The Qin army rushing towards them seemed to confirm the commander's judgment.
"Retreat at full speed and tell the general: a large number of Qin's cavalry troops have been found in the north, numbering no less than a hundred thousand." The scout and garrison commander who first discovered the Qin army's oncoming attack roared towards his subordinates.
Just as he was talking, the Qin army on the opposite side was already encircling this small group of Zhao army scouts. Although the order for the encirclement and general attack had been received and most of the troops were already in place, it would not be a big problem even if they were discovered by the Zhao army. But obviously, in order to Everything is safe, Qin Jun still wants to continue to delay Zhao Jun from discovering him.
In this case, this small group of Zhao troops must stay here without letting go.
Fortunately, the scout commander was obviously a man who had experienced the battlefield. Not only did he immediately judge the importance of the information he detected, but he also knew the Qin army's plan since he had divided his troops from two places.
And he knew even better that with his own army alone, he was no match for the Qin army and would soon be driven into the encirclement of the Qin army.
It doesn't matter that the dozens of men and horses under his command have confessed, but the shocking news that the main cavalry of the Qin Army has appeared in the north cannot sink with his troops.
Hundreds of thousands of troops may have a different fate because of this news.
That is to say, the news must be sent back to the Chinese army and to the general at all costs.
Facing a battle with a huge disparity in strength, the only way he could think of was to spread out and break out!
Without even the slightest hesitation, the scout commander roared again: "Spread out and break out. We must bring back the news at all costs."
"Yes!" The scouts quickly understood the seriousness of the matter, and while turning the horses' heads, they promised, and with their legs tucked under the horse's belly, they followed the commander and sprinted.
A racing match soon started in the north.
In front, dozens of Zhao Jun scouts washed down the gentle slope to the south along the hills where they were located, and quickly picked up their horses. However, the Qin Army in the rear had already picked up their horses due to the advantage of being the first to move. Zhao Jun fled south and immediately divided his troops into groups and encircled them along the outer extension of the hills.
Soon the Zhao army's scouting post had rushed down the hill and avoided the dilemma of being besieged by the Qin army. However, the crisis was not relieved.
The commander of the village who had just run down the hill looked back slightly and felt his scalp numb. The smoke and dust that were still on the road were already rising behind him. Several Qin soldiers who were the fastest were not even a hundred paces away from him. distance.
Although there are only a few people, once they are entangled, it will only be a matter of the blink of an eye for the Qin army to catch up.
