Today's Zhao army has both the spirit of sacrifice and the will to fight to the death. Naturally, Zhao Kuo thought of Master Cai's once successful tactic - the "nail pulling" tactic.
More importantly, Zhao Jun has now been forced to a point of no return!
If you delay for one day, it will count as one day. Even if it requires huge sacrifices, Zhao Kuo will not hesitate.
Soon, Zhao Kuo's general order spread throughout the military camp. Without any hesitation, Zhao Jun began to divide his troops. Because there had already been a mixed group in the fortress, this mixed group was nothing more than cutting the big cake into smaller pieces. That's all, it didn't cause any accidents. Soon, groups of soldiers walked out of the fortress and slowly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
On the other hand, the Qin army was not panicked by such a sudden and large-scale mobilization of the Zhao army, but when they thought of the scorched corpses in the valley, they couldn't help but be more careful, and even suspended their attacks in many places. pace of. Such an action was an unexpected surprise for Zhao Jun. It not only delayed a little time, but also gave the Zhao troops who had left the fortress more time to build defensive positions.
Soon, more than two hundred blocking positions were quietly formed, with as many as three hundred and as few as fifty or sixty people in each node, each equipped with infantry and archers in proportion, like nails of various sizes. , seemingly casually sprinkled on that position.
The position is not big, only thirty kilometers long and only thirty kilometers deep. However, if the Qin army underestimates these nails and enters it rashly, it will soon be attacked by various units from all directions. The pain was excruciating.
After confirming that the Zhao army had no more conspiracy, the Qin army quickly continued to launch a more ferocious attack. Obviously, the Qin army felt the decline in the fortress's combat effectiveness.
As a result, Qin Jun became more and more excited!
"Report! The army from the east route destroyed a Zhao army fortress."
"Report! The army from the south route destroyed a Zhao army fortress."
"Report! The army on the northern route destroyed two Zhao army fortresses."
A letter of victory was quickly delivered to the Qin Army's central military tent, and as the Zhao Army's fortresses were forced one after another, the haze over the heads of the Qin Army's top brass gradually dissipated - the Zhao Army's defeat was imminent. In front of you.
Only Bai Qi's eyebrows were still furrowed. Some of them still regretted Ying Xi's death, but most of them were confused about Zhao Jun's actions.
With such a large-scale transfer, if there is no conspiracy, even if Bai Qi is killed, he won't believe it!
But unfortunately, all that came was "good news" that defeated the enemy. To Bai Qi, this "good news" obviously didn't sound very good, and it might as well have been some bad news.
"It's easy to fall when you climb high." This truth is very clear to Bai Qi.
But what can Bai Qi do? Obviously not. Without knowing Zhao Jun's intentions, arbitrarily changing the tactics will only plunge his subordinates into chaos, but will give Zhao Jun an opportunity to counterattack.
"Instruct all armies to march as planned and not to advance alone. The cavalry troops will step up their patrols and not give Zhao Jun any opportunity to take advantage of it." Helpless Bai Qi could only use this order to remind his troops to be careful.
"Yes!" The ordering soldier immediately took the order and left.
Bai Qi, who was in the curtain here, was still speculating on Zhao Jun's intentions. The Qin troops on the front line who had just captured several fortresses fell into depression again before they had time to be happy for a while.
They finally discovered that Zhao Jun had established another defensive position not far behind the fortress.
A dozen anxious Qin troops had already died in the trap in front of the position, and dozens of Qin troops were suppressed at the front of the position by Zhao Jun's arrows, and were about to be wiped out.
Qu Chang made a decisive decision and commanded all Qu's troops to rescue the dozens of Qin troops.
Hundreds of elites swarmed forward. The only two hundred soldiers in the Zhao army's position were immediately overwhelmed. They saw that this small nail was about to be completely driven into the ground as soon as it showed some of its sharp edges. At this moment, the Qin army's left and right sides suddenly became lively.
During the dense combing, hundreds of Zhao troops suddenly emerged from the forest and went straight towards the attacking Qin army. In an instant, the Qin army changed from the attacker to the besieged.
There is a saying that "it is difficult to defeat someone with two fists"
"Four hands", not to mention that the Qin army was suddenly attacked from three sides, although the Zhao army's strength was not much greater than that of the Qin army. But soon, the besieged Qin army retreated from left to right, retreating steadily. In the end, they had no choice but to leave hundreds of corpses behind, and then retreated in a hurry.
For the first time, this was the first time that the Qin army was defeated head-on by the Zhao army with almost the same force after launching a general offensive. Although the loss was not large, it was enough to delay the Qin army's attack. What's more, this situation is happening repeatedly on the battlefield. After all, the Qin army lost thousands!
And even after the Qin army adjusted, they mobilized thousands of combat forces and spent all their efforts to overturn Zhao Jun's damn blocking position. At a sudden glance, there were only about 200 Zhao Jun among them.
The joy of breaking through the position disappeared instantly.
Three thousand men fought against two hundred, and more than a hundred were lost. Including the losses from the previous exploratory attack, the total loss was more than 300, which was actually more than the number of troops lost by Zhao Jun.
One of the fifteen were beaten, and one was killed in return. If the Roaring Heavenly Lord is here, he must ask the soldiers of the Qin Army: Do you know how to play?
What made the Qin army on the front line even more uncomfortable was that there were countless such blocking positions hidden in the vast mountains and forests.
The battlefield was still in a good situation just now, but in just a short time, the Qin army lost thousands of people, most of whom were elite swordsmen!
The frontline commanders all lamented this. Especially General Wang Qi, who led his army south and took charge of the southern offensive again, seemed particularly cautious after experiencing the hell-like valley.
As a precaution, Wang Qi hurriedly called off the attack, and several Qu Chang who broke into Zhao Jun's position and was killed before returning were quickly brought to Wang Qi's tent.
"How did you do it? Why did thousands of troops lose all in just a short time? It's less than half an hour. Even if there are thousands of pigs, Zhao Jun won't be able to catch them all in half an hour!" Wang Qi Standing in front of the tent, he yelled angrily at several Qu Chang who were kneeling on one knee to salute.
When several music directors heard this, they felt ashamed and wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to start. In the end, he underestimated the enemy, which led to the defeat of the army.
It's just that General Wang Qi's words were a bit too harsh. He simply called several of his people by name for being stupid pig-like commanders. How can the Qin army commanders, who have always been proud and arrogant, accept this? Everyone's face turned red, and even one of them, who was impatient, wanted to join the death camp to pay his dues!
