In half a day, we had to cover almost a day's journey, and we had to launch an attack immediately. Such a request is almost impossible for any army to accomplish. Even the Qin army, the most elite among all countries in the world, felt desperate when faced with such a request.
But no matter how desperate they are, their comrades who are currently being attacked by the Zhao and Wei coalition forces are desperate.
The captain knew that he and his Qin soldiers had no choice at this time.
Non-combat attrition had already started at midnight. Some people lost their footing and fell into the valley, some had their heartbeat stopped during strenuous exercise, and some fell to the ground due to exhaustion... However, these accidents did not stop the Qin army from advancing at all. , without even a little hesitation, even the fallen soldiers still insisted on crawling in the direction of their destination. By the time the follow-up troops arrived, the fallen soldier was already exhausted...
This is a true iron army!
Bai Qi is lucky, because with such an iron army, all his unrestrained orders can be carried out, and it is those unrestrained orders that gave Bai Qi the name "Wu Anjun"!
One general's success and ten thousand bones wither away, that's what they say.
What the rushing Qin army didn't know was that in the mountains and forests less than a few miles north of them, there was also a team running towards the way they came.
That was the last remaining force of the Zhao army on the west bank of Danshui led by Zhao Wei. Zhao Kuo preferred to use the "pulling out broken teeth" tactic rather than expose the 20,000 elite soldiers, who had been reorganizing the 20,000 elite soldiers for more than ten days.
Now, they can finally show their fangs!
However, Zhao Jun still cannot see the light today. For this reason, Zhao Jun not only took a long detour, but also set the marching route in denser mountains and forests. The difficulty of the march can be imagined.
But Zhao Jun's marching speed was not slow at all. Because although the soldiers of Zhao Jun did not know where they were going, they knew that they were about to be the first to sound the clarion call for counterattack!
When I thought of this, the originally hot chest seemed to have a little bit of coolness, and the gloomy woods were no longer so scary. There was a fire in my heart, and I just wanted to reach the destination as soon as possible and have a good time with Qin Jun.
While the Qin and Zhao armies were "running in both directions" several miles apart, the Qin army's barrier headquarters and Jiepailing headquarters had also set off. However, compared to the army in Guanglang City, their march was much longer. It seems more relaxed. According to the current pace, they can even have one to two hours to repair after arriving at the designated location.
But what they didn't know was that as soon as they left the barrier, the news spread to the Daliangshan military camp. Without any hesitation, after just a cup of tea, three thousand Zhao troops came out of the camp gate and headed north. The direction of Hanwang Mountain was gone, and less than a quarter of an hour later, 30,000 troops came out from the main gate of the camp in a mighty manner, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, heading straight towards the Qin army that had just left. Go to the barrier of an hour.
Then, more than two quarters of an hour later, nearly 70,000 Zhao Jun's main forces were all launched. Zhao Jun's trump card that had been hidden for more than a month was finally revealed!
Zhao Jun's counterattack still started from Hanwang Mountain.
Just like the Qin army's Hu Shang's troops entered the Hanwangshan camp that day, the Zhao army's attack on the Hanwangshan camp can only be described as easy. Because the Qin army did not leave many soldiers to guard the Hanwangshan camp.
But unlike Hu Shang's troops, Zhao Jun was obviously much more familiar with things in the camp and mountain passes. The first thing the three thousand elite soldiers did when they arrived at Hanwang Mountain was to block all possible exits from the mountain. All blocked.
This move is of course to keep it secret. After all, the later the Qin army discovers the existence of Zhao Jun in this big grain mountain, the more beneficial it will be to Zhao Jun.
It was not until the last intersection was surrounded that Captain Sun Xi led the remaining thousands of soldiers and calmly attacked the Qin army who was still sleeping.
The more than a hundred Qin troops guarding the camp never dreamed that Zhao Jun, who had been surrounded on the west bank, would launch a counterattack on the east bank. They did not expect that Zhao Jun would think so highly of themselves that they sent thirty times as many troops to encircle and suppress them.
In the Hanwangshan camp, the unsuspecting Qin army was quickly attacked by the Zhao army.
Caught in one fell swoop. Immediately, Captain Sun Xi left three hundred soldiers to guard the camp, and the rest of the troops immediately rushed to the barrier. He knew that Hanwangshan's military exploits were almost negligible. If he acted fast enough, he might be able to catch up with the battle for the barrier.
Unfortunately, due to the blockade of the mountain pass, Sun Xi's troops were delayed for too long. When Sun Xi arrived at the outer perimeter of the barrier, he found that the barrier on the east bank had been captured. General Zhou Qi had even led the leading troops to cross Danshui quietly and was preparing to launch an attack on the sleeping barrier on the west bank.
Yes, there were not many Qin troops stationed in the east bank barrier, and Zhao Jun was familiar with his own barrier, so Zhou Qi's troops took the east bank barrier almost without a fight.
Immediately, according to the instructions of General Tian Dan, part of Zhou Qi's 30,000 troops were stationed on the east bank. The rest, with the cavalry as the lead, quietly crossed Danshui.
Until this time, there was still silence among the Qin Army's west bank barriers - apparently Zhao Army's actions had not been discovered.
It's not that the Qin army in the barrier is lazy. The troops stationed at the barrier have been almost all used up. The remaining troops are less than a thousand, and most of them are wounded soldiers. It's okay to see that the supplies are fine, but they are asked to patrol. The city is indeed a bit difficult for them; secondly, even if they have some defense, it is towards the west bank of Danshui.
In their minds, the east bank of Danshui is now the domain of their Qin army, and the Zhao army has long since fled to the Baili Stone Great Wall. What's more, there is a barrier on the east bank.
It's a pity that the brothers at the East Coast Barrier think so too.
With this idea, the final result of the two barriers is already obvious.
Tens of thousands of Zhao troops divided into dozens of forces along the gaps left after the first two barrier battles, and quietly invaded the west bank barrier. They soon discovered several gathering places of the Qin army, and a series of crossbows were fired. Waiting, the spearmen immediately went to finish the attack, and almost silently, the entire west bank barrier fell.
Even if there are a few Qin troops who want to resist vigorously, facing the layers of Zhao troops, the resistance is ultimately powerless.
In just over two-quarters of an hour, the river crossing, invasion, and killing were completed in one go. The east gate of Shangdang was completely closed by the Zhao army. The most terrible thing was that no one of the Qin army in the barrier slipped through the net. This also led to the Qin army's News will lag again.
By coincidence, within two quarters of an hour, the main force of the Zhao army commanded by Tian Dan had also reached the barrier.
There was nothing to hand over to the empty fortress. Then according to the original plan, Zhou Qi led the cavalry to embark on the journey again - this time, his goal was: Jiepailing.
