I saw a barrier that was three feet high and extremely thick, almost integrated with the Light Wolf City.
On top of the city towers and ramparts, countless Qin troops in black were just looking at the Zhao Jun scouts in front of them who were stopping to watch.
"He's his mother!" A group of Zhao Jun's scouts cursed angrily as they looked at the dark barrier in front of them.
The summer sun was scorching hot, but at this moment, Zhao Jun's scout, who had been galloping for a long time, just thought, "Have we gone in the wrong direction? Have we reached the Danshui Barrier here!?" The member scout still couldn't believe the scene in front of him, and imagined that he had gone in the wrong direction and arrived in front of the west bank barrier occupied by his family.
However, under the fierce afternoon sun, the black military flag fluttering in the wind ruthlessly broke all their illusions - this is Guanglang City, where the Qin Army is located!
When did the Qin army build such a majestic barrier in Guanglang City? Even compared to the barrier on the west bank of Danshui, it is not far behind!
How could such a great deed be accomplished in just a few days?
It's obviously impossible.
The only explanation is that the Qin army was prepared.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun's scouts couldn't help feeling that their throats were dry and their backs were cold!
Even though it was mid-afternoon, and the summer sun was at its most venomous; even though they had just rushed here, and the horses under their crotches were breathing heavily; even though...
The first person to react from the shock and disbelief was the leader of the scouts, the captain (scouts were elites, and although they had the same troop strength, their official rank was half to one level higher than that of ordinary soldiers).
"Wu Qi, one of your teams will stay to monitor the movements of the Qin army and try to find out as much as possible the strength of the defense forces on the barrier." The captain immediately set about making arrangements. He knew that the Qin army on the barrier would not give him too much time.
Hearing this, the Zhao Jun scout commander looked at the captain with some embarrassment, as if to say: "How can we check such a long barrier?"
"The rest of the troops returned to camp quickly. In order to avoid the Qin army's interception, the troops were divided into three groups and returned separately. Remember, no matter what happens behind the scenes, no hesitation or turning back is allowed. The news of the barrier must be sent back to the Chinese army in the shortest possible time! Please come up The general has already made up his mind!" Ignoring the embarrassed village commander named Wu, the leader, the captain, continued to order his scouts.
Listening to the words of the scout captain, the scouts finally understood the importance of the information they had discovered.
However, just as the scouts were turning their horses around, the black, monster-like barrier opened first. Several small doors suddenly opened, and a group of people followed each other out of the dark door. The black-clothed cavalry, as if reflecting the leader's words, came straight towards Zhao Jun's scouting post.
"Wu Datou, the speed department is checking the length of the barrier in both directions from north to south! The rest of the people, led by their respective camp commanders, return to camp quickly!" The captain of the school captain in desperation did not care about anything else, and actually shouted directly The nickname of the village chief surnamed Wu.
The scouts were all experienced soldiers. Seeing the city gate open in front of them, how could they know the current situation.
Then they all turned their horses' heads and ran towards the main advancing force of Zhao Kuo. They know very well: if they can let the general know about the existence of the barrier a moment earlier, the general will have more time to think, the army will be able to avoid unnecessary journeys, and perhaps it will have a better chance of winning.
Without any time to think about it, the scouts immediately took their orders and left under the leadership of their respective camp commanders.
In an instant, only the leader and his troops were left in place.
The scout leader turned his horse's head and said to his officers: "Gentlemen, the barrier ahead was not built in a day. Our army may have become a turtle in the urn by crossing the west bank. However, our scout battalion failed to detect the Qin army's barrier in time and fell into it. The army is in such a dangerous place, and we will all die for our sins! The Qin army is so brave today, if we let it pursue it, we may not be able to send the message to the general in time!"
With that said, the leader drew his sword and continued: "For the current plan, we are the only ones to stop the pursuing Qin army and buy a moment for our comrades! In order to atone for the sins of the entire scout camp."
The leader turned the horse's head again, pointed his knife forward, and shouted: "Gentlemen, who is willing to die with me!"
Zheng, Zheng, Zheng...a sword was unsheathed!
"I'm willing!"
"I'm willing!"
The sound of dying resounded throughout the world...
"The target is the Qin Army cavalry, the scout camp, the flying geese formation!" the leader roared with veins popping out again.
As we all know, cavalry generally uses a cone-shaped formation to attack on a large scale. The army is in the shape of a triangular cone. The sharper the tip, the easier it is to pierce the enemy. Using such a formation, it is obvious that it can penetrate the enemy's line at the minimum cost and inflict maximum damage to the enemy.
As the name suggests, the flying geese formation, like flying geese, presents an irregular semicircle. Because each of them shares the wind resistance, it can save energy to the maximum extent. It is generally used during marches and during battles. It will only be used when the troops are sufficient and ready to form a roundabout outflank against the enemy.
But at this time, the scout group only had a hundred people. It was obvious that they were neither on a safe march nor preparing to surround the Qin army. Even the number of scouts left by the Zhao army was significantly less than that of the Qin army who left the city. Under such circumstances, adopting the wild goose formation would be tantamount to self-destruction!
Of course, the scout captain did not make a wrong order.
Because in addition to marching and encircling, the Yanxing Formation also has one of the biggest benefits - controlling the attack surface of Zui with a limited number of people. The Zhao army had no choice. They could not let the Qin army divide their troops to pursue their own army. Therefore, the wild goose formation was the best choice - using their own lives in exchange for the Qin army's short moment of stagnation and as many casualties as possible.
Without thinking or hesitating, the soldiers of the scout battalion quickly blindfolded their horses, spontaneously formed into groups in pairs according to the leader's orders, and then formed a wild goose formation together.
"Scout camp, target Qin cavalry, attack!" the leader shouted as he charged ahead.
"Kill!" The other scouts followed suit and filed out!
In just a moment, the collision between the main forces of the Zhao army officially started in front of the light wolf city barrier.
Although the Zhao army only had a hundred or ten men, it exploded with a momentum that was completely unmatched. In an instant, deafening shouts of killing resounded in front of the Qin army's barrier.
The cavalry generals of the Qin army saw this situation, but they were not in vain at all. Although there are only three thousand cavalry under his command in the city, they are already several times the size of the scout troops in front of him. What's more, there are only a few hundred people fighting against him, and the number of soldiers he owns is almost ten times that of Zhao. military.
"Kill!" the Qin army's cavalry general roared without any concessions.
