Bai Qi didn't know that whether he was arrogant or arrogant at this time, God had already secretly marked a price for it.
The excited generals of the Qin army hurriedly received tomorrow's attack plan from Bai Qi, and then returned to their respective camps with infinite longing and fell asleep.
What they didn't know was that while they were chatting and laughing with Duke Zhou about Qin's hegemony in their dreams, the dead fish in their encirclement, the Zhao troops, were gathering, moving, and adjusting.
A chilling air condensed in the sky above each Zhao army fortress, and Zhao Wei and several generals also started a forced march overnight with the tens of thousands of elite troops left in the Chinese army.
Looking at its direction, it is exactly to the west of where the barrier is.
The sun rose as usual, and the Qin army's all-out attack continued immediately. However, this time the Qin army became more and more scattered. Yesterday, they only attacked ten fortresses at the same time, but today they directly increased to twenty.
However, the Zhao Jun of today is no longer the Zhao Jun of yesterday.
Under Zhao Kuo's tearful "letter of war", the entire Zhao army was already determined to die. Coupled with the fact that the captains had secretly revealed that reinforcements were on the way, the entire Zhao army was already screaming to follow. The Qin army fought to the death.
The Qin army with a look of contempt met the howling Zhao army, and they were evenly matched in this encounter.
Of course, overnight, even Zhao Kuo could not turn those young men who had never practiced formations into elite soldiers who cooperated with each other tacitly, but he could make a young army become fierce and unafraid of death, even if This is a rookie army mixed with a lot of young people and has only participated in a few battles.
That was enough. The Zhao army was already on the defensive, relying on a fairly strong fortress. As long as it could keep the Qin army out of the fortress, the defenders didn't actually need too many formations at all.
Just pick up the rolling wood and rocks next to you and smash them down. As long as there are enough rocks and the rocks are smashed fast enough, you can always kill the Qin army;
As for the technical work of suppressing, pouring oil, and igniting the crossbow, just leave it to the few veterans naturally;
injured? If you are slightly injured, you will not be able to get out of the firing line; if you are seriously injured, you will die together with the enemy.
On the fortress that day, the Qin Army's death camp gave the Zhao Army's new soldiers a great shock, especially the selfless leap that shouted "Great Qin Ten Thousand Years" was like a picture, deeply imprinted on it. In the minds of all Zhao Jun soldiers.
And today is the time for them to learn from the same example!
Perhaps the ordinary soldiers did not understand the national righteousness of "I will die and the country will survive." But the small truth of "for the sake of parents, wives, children, and sisters not to be humiliated" is clearly understood in the hearts of every soldier of the Zhao army.
The tyranny of the Qin army, the harshness of Qin's laws, the misfortune of the Qin people, and the hatred of the people for generations, the soldiers of the Zhao army could never allow their Zhao family's land to fall into the hands of the Qin people.
On top of the fortress, the first seriously injured warrior resolutely rolled down the ladder holding the Qin army in front of him. With a cry of "Great Zhao Wannian!", the Zhao army instantly became unstoppable.
The voices of "Da Zhao Wannian!" soon started to rise one after another.
Even the elite members of the Qin army, who were always brave and good at fighting, could not help but retreat a little to avoid its sharp edge. Many people even kept muttering in their hearts: "The Zhao people are crazy!"
The idea of "exchanging one is enough, exchanging two to earn one" spread like a plague among Zhao Jun.
There is a saying: "If you are cruel, you will be afraid of being stunned, and if you are stunned, you will be afraid of losing your life." Although the Qin army has better discipline, more tacit cooperation, and more outstanding individual combat capabilities, the Zhao army he has to face is a group of "desperados" in the true sense - that is A desperado who uses his teeth to bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh even if his limbs are broken.
Under such an almost crazy style of play, Zhao Jun's originally precarious fortress defense line was miraculously defended by this ragtag group of people, even the most difficult to defend the northern fortress.
Not only because the most elite troops of the Qin Army were gathered in the north, but also because the Qin Army in the north was being suppressed and beaten by the Zhao Army, one can imagine the anger in his heart.
But even though the Qin army was full of anger, and Ying Xi personally went to the front line to command, in half a day, they still failed to break through even one of the Zhao army's barriers.
Of course, the price Zhao Jun paid for this was not small. Within half a day, almost everyone in the fortress was injured, and the number of people killed reached almost one-third, and the vast majority of those killed in the battle died with the Qin army.
Although the Zhao army tried its best to block the Qin army's attack, as time went by, even if the Zhao army was fierce, the reduction in numbers really reduced its power. The Qin army relied on tacit cooperation and The powerful combat power finally slowly gained the upper hand on the battlefield.
However, just when the Qin army was about to gradually take control of the war situation, Zhao Kuo's second move was immediately revealed.
Afternoon is the hottest time of the day. The failure to break through the Zhao army's defense line for a long time made the Qin army even more irritated. Even so, the general of the Qin army seemed to be angry and did not pay for the withdrawal of the troops. Instead, he urged his subordinates, who were already a little tired and irritable, to continue attacking the Zhao army's fortress.
Of course, the hot weather also tested Zhao Jun's soldiers.
This does not include the Zhao troops led by General Zhao Junbi who are hiding in the dense forest! After running around all night, Zhao's 10,000-strong army had been preparing for several hours in the dense jungle.
Groups of scouts came out of the forest and then entered the forest quietly, reporting to their generals the battle situation in the fortress several miles ahead.
The latest news that the Qin army did not withdraw its troops at the expense of money, but instead sent a force to continue the attack, soon reached the ears of General Pi of the Zhao army. General Pi knew that it was time to attack!
Without the slightest hesitation, tens of thousands of Zhao troops quietly came out of the forest and rushed towards the Qin army's rear.
In order to isolate the eyes and ears of the Qin army, the Zhao army could only hide in the dense forest, but the dense forest was still several miles away from the Qin army's camp. The journey of several miles is not far, but in less than half an hour, they can reach the Qin army's rear, but it is not close at all. If the Qin army is a little more vigilant, they may be able to detect Zhao Jun's movements in time.
However, it is a pity.
Because of the sudden outbreak of the Zhao army, the generals of the Qin army were completely focused on that damn fortress, and had no time to take care of anything else. What's more important is that Zhao Jun is now a withered bone in the grave, and in his eyes, it is impossible to stir up any more waves, let alone the idea of going around. Therefore, it is natural not to send out scouts to investigate the surrounding situation.
So Qin Jun missed their last chance for redemption because of their arrogance.
However, Zhao Jun's elite minions silently reached out to Qin Jun when Qin Jun was at its weakest.
