"Send orders to Hu Shang to immediately withdraw from the siege sequence and use all our strength to stop the Zhao army fleeing eastward!"
"Instruct Wang Qi to quickly dispatch a powerful force to take over Hu Shang's attack line."
"Instruct the reinforcements led by this general to withdraw from the siege sequence and turn to attack the Zhao army fleeing eastward."
Faced with Zhao Jun's sudden flight eastward, Sima Cuo immediately adjusted his troops. He could not predict the enemy's opportunity, but at least he could make up for it.
However, although Sima Cuo's adjustment was very fast, Zhao Jun's long sword was obviously faster!
Facing the Qin army that was obviously ill-prepared, it may of course be related to the fact that Hu Shang's troops traveled a long distance, conquered Hanwang Mountain and the East Bank Barrier, and stormed the online barrier day and night, and the soldiers' physical strength gradually became exhausted.
How can the Zhao army's cavalry care about you? Killing you while you are sick is the right way to go.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jun's cavalry had advanced all the way to the vicinity of Xun's Ferry like wind and clouds, and the real test began.
There was Danshui blocking them in front, and the Qin army was chasing them behind. At this time, the Zhao army's cavalry did not rely on the speed of their horses to cross the river as they did when they crossed west that day. Instead, they turned their horses' heads and divided their troops into two groups: left and right. , and attacked the pursuing Qin army.
That's right, Xu Li didn't care whether he could cross the Danshui or how many troops could cross the Danshui. He was more concerned about how many Qin troops could be destroyed, especially after seeing the combat power of that special Qin army. After that, Xu Li had the idea of leaving them completely in Danshui Barrier.
If you can't beat the enemy above the barrier, you can change it below the barrier, use your mind to calculate but not your mind, and use cavalry to defeat the infantry. Obviously, Zhao Jun has a huge advantage.
Especially when the Qin army was vigorously pursuing the enemy, a cavalryman who was supposed to have passed the Danshui was killed obliquely. The power of its blow can be imagined.
And things were just as Xu Li expected. Even though the Qin army's elite warriors were extremely powerful, they were already at the end of a powerful crossbow that had been fighting for several hours. Of course, it was not a problem to deal with the ordinary Zhao army, but in the face of military restraint, There is no long weapon in his hand, so it is really difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
A fast horse galloped past, and immediately there was a bloody storm.
And this extremely heartbreaking scene happened to be seen by Sima Cuo, who had just climbed up the barrier to monitor the battlefield.
In just a moment, Sima Cuo's eyes turned red.
With one blow from the Zhao army's cavalry, nearly a hundred Qin army soldiers fell into a pool of blood, along with hundreds more elite soldiers. You must know that these are the best warriors among the Qin army's hundreds of thousands. If placed in the ordinary army, they are more than enough to be a commander.
Its combat power is so strong that even in the extremely fierce battle of the barrier just now, five hundred warriors fought fiercely for several hours, and all the injuries in total were only more than 130 people. But in this charge just now, , and dozens of people were killed by Zhao Jun. How could Sima Cuo not feel heartbroken.
"The archers quickly suppressed the Zhao army, and the spearmen quickly went down to the city to take up positions!" Without enough time to express his emotions, Sima Cuo once again ordered to adjust his tactics: "Hu Shang's troops should cross the river immediately and return to defend the east bank barrier."
"Yes!" The ordering soldiers around him immediately took the order and left.
Sima Cuo gave orders quickly, and the spearmen moved faster, but no matter how fast they were, they still needed time. Such a short time was enough for Zhao Jun's cavalry to charge again.
Fortunately, the elite soldiers of the Qin army below also quickly made adjustments. In time, they changed the pursuing flying geese formation into a defensive circular formation, defending on the spot and waiting for reinforcements to join.
The circular formation without spears obviously has limited restraint on the cavalry. However, although Zhao Jun's cavalry is brave, it will take a certain amount of time to break the formation. The hurried footsteps and shouts of killing on the other side of the barrier reminded Xu Li all the time: the Qin army would not give him time to break the formation.
Holding their long swords horizontally, they each killed a few people on the periphery of the circular formation, and then more than two thousand cavalry rushed towards the east bank of Danshui.
On the side of the Huanshi Ferry, the infantry of the Zhao army did not wait for the cavalry. They each crossed the river under the leadership of the commander. Not far from them, the Qin army's teams also began to cross the river eastward. Obviously that was the team led by Hu Shang of the Qin Army to reinforce the east bank barrier.
However, due to the counterattack by the cavalry, the Qin army's reinforcements were obviously far behind the Zhao army. Even the Zhao army had successfully landed, and the Qin army had just crossed the river.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Jun immediately continued to attack the barriers on the east bank.
There are still more than a thousand elite Qin troops in the barrier, and currently most of the approximately 800 people have gathered near the Xuans. As long as they can withstand Zhao Jun's first two rounds, no, even one round of attack, when subsequent reinforcements arrive, Zhao Jun's thousands of soldiers will be unable to escape.
But it is a pity that the Qin army in the barrier could not withstand even one round of Zhao army's attack.
It is no wonder that the Qin army was spared their lives. Almost all of the nearly 800 people on the east bank barrier were lost in this battle.
It turned out that because the Qin Army's Hu Shang Division went into battle almost immediately after taking the east bank barrier, there was no time to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the barrier. Naturally, several secret passages left by the Zhao Army were never discovered.
At this time, these secret passages have become fatal passages.
The Zhao army divided into several groups, each holding a shield, and quickly passed through the tidal flats. They were about to attack the barrier. The Qin army at the barrier was obviously ready to fight to the death, but after a brief look, Zhao Jun was nowhere to be seen. The ladder and arrow tower were launched, and then, Zhao Jun, who rushed under the barrier, disappeared under the barrier.
There is no way to heaven, there is only a door to the earth.
The two to five hundred people on the barrier suddenly sounded the alarm loudly: No, there is a secret passage.
Then he commanded the soldiers to retreat into the barrier, hoping to intercept Zhao Jun before they broke into the barrier.
Unfortunately, the Qin army is still very fast, but the Zhao army obviously has more secret passages. They have just discovered one. They are waiting for Zhao Jun to come out, but they don't expect that there is an exit of the secret passage behind them.
With a bang, the earthen wall shattered, throwing up a burst of dust. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to be alert to the appearance of Zhao Jun in front, when a red sharp blade pierced him from behind, and Zhao Jun actually came out from behind him.
The Qin army was caught off guard again.
In desperation, the eight hundred Qin troops retreated again and again, almost fighting the Qin army under the east tower of the barrier. It is a pity that they lost the geographical advantage and were no match for the Zhao army who was several times their own. With just a cup of tea, they were slaughtered by the Zhao army.
More than 800 Qin troops from 2 to 500 lords were all killed in the battle. No one survived, and no one escaped.
At this time, Qin's reinforcements had just crossed the river!
Facing the open barrier and Zhao Jun who quickly rushed into the barrier, the Qin Army realized that their blockade had failed. However, the Qin army still did not give up and launched a pincer attack on the remaining soldiers and horses of the Zhao army in the river and on the tidal flats.
Such a pincer attack can only be said to be a psychological comfort, which is better than nothing.
