One reserve team was sent out by the Qin army generals, and one after another the exhausted troops were replaced and repaired.
The armor had been taken off as soon as he returned to camp. The sweat on his single clothes got wet and dried, and then dried and got wet. Finally, there were little white salt stains on the black Ge Yi. If it weren't for the fear of the military's appearance being in bad shape, even I'm afraid this Ge Yi will also be stripped off by Qin's soldiers.
The long swords and spears in their hands were also piled up outside their respective tents. Almost impatiently, they put on the pottery basins for cooking, and rushed to the water point. Half of the basins of cold well water were consumed, and the other half of the basins of cold water were drunk. Raining it down will extinguish all the heat - one word: refreshing! It was completely cool from the inside out.
After receiving the water from the cool well here, a few steps to the right is the place where the meals are received - the aroma of millet has filled the entire camp, making the soldiers who had just driven away the heat move their index fingers.
However, they were too late to receive their "delicious" lunch.
Zhao's elite army had quietly moved to a place less than a mile away from them, and the Qin soldiers who were standing on the high platform and watching finally realized that something was wrong.
A sharp whistle soon sounded from the south camp gate.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A voice above the camp gate shouted: "Close the village gate quickly!"
Soon the report of the enemy attack was handed over to the chief general of the Qin Army. Looking at the smoke and dust not far away, the Qin Army's assistant general quickly realized that he was in big trouble!
However, the Qin army's general Pi also responded quickly. He ordered the soldiers who had just returned to the camp to remove their armor to immediately reorganize their lines to attack the Zhao army. Report the news.
Yes, after Wang Qisuo led the main force to the north and returned to Wang Lu's command, the Zhao army went south, and Sima Cuo immediately returned to the Chinese army Bai Qi's command. The offensive and defensive battle in the west was handed over to Hu Shang.
Although the Qin army's generals responded quickly, the Zhao army's front was already close at hand, and the soldiers who returned to the camp couldn't wait to remove their armor, hand over their swords, drink water and go away. How could they re-arrange themselves in such a hurry? The new force to attack the fortress, Zhao Jun in the fortress, saw the reinforcements coming, and how could he give them any chance to look back.
It can be said that the current Qin army's base camp has no ability to stop the Zhao army. As long as the Zhao army concentrates its forces and launches a sudden attack, the Qin army's stronghold will surely fall in one fell swoop.
However, when Zhao Jun's general Pi faced such a great opportunity, he seemed to be hysterical and sent out more than 5,000 elite soldiers to reinforce the barrier.
Looking at Zhao Jun being diverted, the pressure on Qin Jun's general was relieved a lot, and he was even moved to the point of crying.
In a hurry, the Qin army's general Pi took his own soldiers to the south to block the Zhao army's attack and buy time for other troops to redefine the front. The general of the Qin army finally paid the price for his contempt, the price of blood.
Just now, it was the Zhao army who exchanged their lives on the fortress, but now it was the Qin army's general Pi and his elite soldiers who exchanged their lives. Things in the world are often so "wonderful".
Of course, the iron laws of the battlefield apply not only to the Qin army, but also to the Zhao army.
Due to the reduction in assault force, the five thousand elite Zhao troops were unable to defend the temporary front line formed by the Qin army's generals for a while. Then, more and more Qin soldiers put down their rice bowls casually and did not even have time to put on their own armor. Then they hurriedly took their swords and spears and gathered in the south camp to fight against the enemy.
Of course, due to insufficient troops and critical combat power, the Qin army was still almost overwhelmed by the Zhao army.
Under the fortress over there, the freshmen of the Qin Army heard the sound of gold ringing from the rear camp, and were wondering why they were recalled just as they were about to break the fortress not long after they came up.
However, strict military discipline still caused the Qin army to retreat like a tide.
Looking back, one part of the Zhao army was already intercepting his way back, and the Zhao army in the fortress became more and more excited and crazily clinging to the Qin army, trying to completely keep the Qin army under the barrier.
It's a pity that there are less than 3,000 people in the fortress (more than 1,000 were lost in the battle). Even if the 5,000 Zhao troops who attacked from behind are included, the total number is only 8,000 men and horses, while the attacking Qin army has enough Five thousand people.
The Art of War goes like this: "If you are ten, you will surround it; if you are five, you will attack it; if you double it, you will divide it."
Obviously, such strength is not enough to trap the Qin army outside the camp. What's more, most of this Qin army is a new force that has just been replaced. In terms of combat power, it is much stronger than the 5,000 Zhao army that just arrived. , after all, the Qin army has always been good at infantry.
Therefore, the Qin Army captain made a prompt decision and divided a force of about a thousand men to hold back the Zhao army in the fortress and backstab. The main force of three thousand troops quickly detoured and returned to camp from the north.
Faced with the Qin army's "strong man's wrist-cutting", Zhao Jun, unable to annihilate the Qin army, decisively decided to cooperate with the Zhao army in the fortress to completely eat the two thousand Qin troops.
Immediately, the battlefield became three parts: one was in the main camp of the Qin army, where five thousand Zhao troops stormed the camp that was defended by less than 2,500 Qin soldiers; the second part was under the fortress, where three thousand fortress troops and five Thousands of elite soldiers surrounded two thousand Qin army elites, and the third group consisted of three thousand Qin army freshmen from the east to the north, detouring back to the main village.
After just a cup of tea, the three thousand Qin troops who were marching in a hurry rushed back to the camp and immediately joined the battle to defend the camp without stopping. This also marked the complete failure of Zhao Jun's action to break through the Qin Army's main stronghold.
Of course, the Zhao army's attack still continued, but the intensity had been significantly reduced. Obviously, their purpose was no longer to break the camp, but to force the Qin army to be unable to reinforce the two thousand lone troops under the fortress.
After two thousand troops were cut off, the Qin army still held on to the last soldier despite being isolated and helpless. However, the Zhao army had the advantage of a fortress above, a pincer attack below, and strong morale and several times the strength of the troops in the middle. Coupled with the vicious sun in the morning, heat stroke appeared among the Qin army soon...
"The right time, the right location, and the right people", all the battlefield conditions were on Zhao's side, and it was only a matter of time before these two thousand lone troops were wiped out.
"The ammunition is gone, the food is out, and there are no people." More than an hour later, under the fortress, with the last Qin soldier falling to the ground, the entire war finally came to an end.
Outside the Qin camp, the Zhao army surrounding the camp left like a tide. The Qin general, who had been stabbed twice, killed the last Zhao soldier who had no time to retreat. He leaned on the broken long sword and watched quietly. Looking at the Zhao army receding like a tide in front of me and the Qin army's black flag that finally fell in the distance, I sighed heavily in my heart. I was both embarrassed and a little lucky, and even for no reason, I still felt a little weird in my heart.
