"No problem, the Zhao army in the south has built a fortress and defended it, and its main cavalry is also concentrated on the north road. They will not attack the fortress again. Even the remaining army will rest for a while and then go into encirclement and annihilation of the Zhao army in the south. Hit." Sima Cuo waved his hand nonchalantly.
Obviously, due to the changes in Zhao Jun's situation, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi also changed slightly in the use of his troops.
"As for the issue of rest after the war!" Sima Cuo pondered for a while, but finally he said with determination: "The war in the north is intense. If you arrive a moment earlier, Wang Lu and Ying Xie in the north will be less stressed. As soon as you arrive, Even if they don’t go into battle, they still add tens of thousands of combat power to the Northern Route Army!”
At this point, Wang Qi still didn't understand anything. After the whole army played a game of chess, he immediately accepted the order and said: "Yes, I will obey the order."
Then he lifted up his cloak and left with the order.
As the Qin army entered the city on a large scale, the Battle of the Barrier gradually tilted in an irreversible direction.
Xu Li felt happy and worried at the same time.
Fortunately, the general changed his order in time and did not force himself to hold on for three days. Otherwise, in this situation, if the barrier was lost after holding on for less than two days, he would probably have no choice but to kill himself to thank the world!
What is worrying is that once the west bank barrier is lost, the 300,000 Zhao troops in Shangdang will be completely surrounded by the Qin army. Although Xu Li also knew that Zhao Kuo had backup, the Wei army No one knows whether or when he can come. Once the gate here is closed, reinforcements from the other side will not arrive, and Zhao's army of more than 300,000 is as good as the fish on the chopping board. How can we not be worried?
Shaking his head for a moment, Xu Li immediately woke up from his deep thoughts - the overall situation was beyond his ability to guess. The general had discussed it carefully with General Lian Po and General Tian Dan for several hours, and he must have made a comprehensive plan. , I still have to do the tasks assigned by the general first.
Yes, the mission is to kill 50,000 Qin troops in formation.
Xu Li briefly considered what he had gained in this day and night, and roughly calculated it should be more than 40,000. Still a little worse? Then have another fight with the Qin army!
Xu Li, who had made up his mind, looked at the fish-belly-white sky, and then ordered: "Send the order: First, use reconnaissance cavalry to report to the general that the barrier has been lost; second, the entire army should make a decisive charge against the Qin army. , a quarter of an hour later, the battalion as a unit will break out on its own, and the destination is the old pass of the Bailishi Great Wall defense line; thirdly, the cavalry in the barrier will prepare for war, and the general will break out from Xuushi to the east bank after a quarter of an hour, and the destination is still For: Guguan.”
"Yes!" The messenger on the side immediately took the order and left.
Today, on the east bank of Danshui, although Hanwang Mountain and the east bank barrier have been lost, the Daliangshan military camp is still there. The reason why Xu Li chose the long distance and went straight to the old pass of the Bailishi Great Wall, which is almost twice the distance away, was not Daliangshan. The purpose of the mountain is of course to avoid exposing the Daliangshan military camp to the Qin army's sight. After all, there are 100,000 Zhao army elites stored there, which is related to the final direction of this war.
Of course, the behavior of Xu Li's troops walking across the Daliang Mountain also proved to the Qin army from one side that the Zhao army had no troops stationed in the Daliang Mountain, otherwise there would be no possibility of abandoning the nearby and far away.
But now, Zhao Jun, who is on top of the barrier, more or less understands that the barrier is no longer defensible. Only strict military discipline restrains them, and their patriotic blood inspires them to make the final fight.
A quarter of an hour came quickly, and the captains and commanders immediately mobilized the last fresh troops of the generals, preparing to fight for a way out for themselves and the soldiers under their command.
However, after a night of fierce fighting, under the powerful offensive of the Qin army, the Zhao army that persisted until this time did not have a few battalions at all. More of the remaining soldiers of two or three battalions gathered together, and then they could barely hold on to an important node. . At this time, there are still fresh troops ready to fight. Apart from the main camp of the Hyun clan, there are not many battalions with such combat strength.
But the clarion call for a breakout will not be delayed in any way because of the weakness of Zhao Jun's combat power.
At the end of a quarter of an hour, the sound of the horn suddenly spread across the main camp along the west bank barrier, followed by a burst of shouts of death and formations of horse hooves!
The leader is naturally the leader of the barrier - Xu Li.
"Come on!"
"kill!"
The more than 2,000 cavalry troops who had been hidden by Xu Lixue since the Qin army under Hu Shang landed on the east bank suddenly broke out to eliminate them at this time!
That's right, Xu Li has always kept the trump card of this unit in his hands. Whether it can break through and how many people can break out, Xu Li has put all his treasure on this unit. The number of people is not large, and the combat power is not elite. on the cavalry.
Even when the barrier was at its most dangerous and difficult, even if Xu Li went to fight in person, even if the cavalry general kowtowed in front of him and bled, Xu Li never released this elite soldier, and even the Qin army had I forgot the existence of that abominable cavalry before landing, and all of this is just for now, to catch the Qin army by surprise!
More than 2,600 Zhao Jun cavalrymen have been repairing after returning from intercepting and killing on the east bank. They say they are repairing, but in fact they are no different from suffering. The shouts of killing are constantly coming from both sides alternately, and the drops of blood have even spread to Between the tents, I saw my comrades fighting bloody battles on the barrier, but I was unable to lend a helping hand, and was even forced to close my eyes to rest. It was understandable that I was feeling depressed.
Well now, the cage of the trapped tiger has been wide open, and the long knife in his hand has already been thirsty!
After receiving the order, more than 2,600 Zhao cavalry troops descended from the mountain like fierce tigers, roaring, waving their long swords, and broke through the Qin army in front of them in one fell swoop. The ladders, arrow towers and even city vehicles were all destroyed one by one. The cavalry were killed (or burned) by their horses, and countless Qin soldiers were trampled to the ground by their horses.
Wherever you meet, there is almost no enemy!
It can be said that Zhao Jun's sudden attack hit Qin Jun's waist firmly.
In fact, Sima Cuo was not unprepared for Zhao Jun's desperate breakthrough, but no matter the time, place, or direction, Sima Cuo seemed to have miscalculated.
It’s no wonder that Sima Cuo is, this barrier is really too important. Once the barrier is lost, hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops will be shut down and beaten. Sima Cuo knows this, and he also believes that the defenders of Zhao Jun’s barrier are also very aware of this. point.
According to this idea, although Zhao Jun is retreating steadily on the barrier, more than a dozen key nodes are still in Zhao Jun's hands. Zhao Jun has no reason to abandon the barrier without being completely desperate. escape.
At least according to what Sima Cuo knew, the "righteous" Zhao Jun would not plunge Pao Ze into death and escape like this.
In addition, shouldn't Zhao Jun's breakout direction be towards the location of Zhao Jun's main force? At the worst, you should break out into the dense forest to the north. What does it mean to break out from the Hyun clan?
Do you look down on our Qin army?
