The only good news: The Qin army's bed crossbows and chariot crossbows were used centrally and uniformly by Bai Qi due to the delay of the war, so they did not appear in this blocking battle.
Even so, it was still difficult for the Zhao army to break through the Qin army in front of them.
After all, there is still a huge gap in combat power. Zhao Jun's attack was almost as expected by Qin Jun. Wherever the long sword came, there was already a long sword to greet him, a long sword thrust forward, and a shield stood in front of him. Only the arrow rain attacked. , and can also cause greater damage to the Qin army. Every counterattack by the Qin army seemed to hit Zhao Jun's weakness.
For a time, the 60,000 Zhao army was helpless against the 20,000 Qin army. Even though the Zhao army had an absolute advantage in strength, it was still difficult to shake the Qin army's defenses. Even with every strong attack, the Zhao army had to pay almost double losses to barely break through the Qin army's defenses.
What made Zhao Jun even more desperate was that one Qin army had just been defeated, and another Qin army had already formed a defensive formation in front of them, waiting leisurely for the arrival of Zhao's soldiers.
It is obvious that he is the one with the superior force. Hey, where did the Qin army get so many troops?
The Zhao army on the front line was going crazy. The Qin army's continuous defense made all the Zhao army finally see what it means to be a strong army and what it means to be desperate.
Obviously, although the chief general in the north is unknown and has no overall view, for local battlefields, especially small battles that test skills and tactics, every assistant general of the Qin army has a unique side.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Qin army has launched foreign wars for a long time and all generals have been fully trained.
Obviously, the Qin army's assistant general in front of Zhao Kuo had exerted the limited Qin army to the extreme, almost making the Zhao army unable to move an inch.
Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the horse, saw this and was anxious in his heart. He knew that there was not much time left for him and his subordinates. Bai Qi was no one else, and his confusing tactics would not be able to deceive him for long. Perhaps the army chasing him would have already set off at this time. Once the pursuers arrive, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Looking at the endless Qin army's front line in front, Zhao Kuo fell into deep thought and entanglement.
Faced with the dilemma of more and more Zhao soldiers falling and the front line barely moving, Zhao Kuo finally made up his mind: Since the attack cannot be broken, then let's not attack! We don’t want any escape routes or anything like that! In such a vast plain, there are always places that your Qin army cannot take care of.
"Send an order to the whole army, separate one part to entangle the enemy in front of you, and the army will quickly pass through the gaps in the Qin army's defense." Zhao Kuo ordered coldly.
Although the messenger was very surprised, he still agreed simply: "Yes!"
Immediately, the banner shook, the front line changed, and the 60,000-strong army quickly adjusted according to Zhao Kuo's requirements.
No one paused or had any questions. It's not that this order is so wise, on the contrary, this order is a bit stupid.
This is tantamount to giving up the part that entangles with the enemy, while retaining the part that can pass quickly. And if you want to entangle the Qin army, you will need a considerable number of troops - more than 20,000 people, which means giving up one-third of the army's strength.
Moreover, even if the main force of the army passes smoothly, with the strength of the Qin army, it will not take much time to clear out the Zhao army, which has almost the same strength. It will also take time for the Zhao army to pass. If the two are reduced, the Zhao army will not be able to run far at all. Once the Qin army clears out the abandoned Zhao army, it will probably catch up with the Zhao army soon. What will happen then? Give up another third?
As soon as this order came out, no matter how stupid Sergeant Zhao was, he realized that this battle was not an attack, but a breakout! But staying to delay the Qin army is basically a death!
But, so what!
The soldiers of Zhao Jun were almost rushing to stay and guard the escape route for their general.
Zhao Kuo's prestige was completely established in this battle.
The army was quickly divided into two. One group resisted the Qin army and protected the road, while the main force quickly passed through the junction of the Qin army.
Qin Jun was obviously a little confused by Zhao Jun's actions - wasn't this looking for death? It doesn't matter if you rush over to my joint. When I finish the place in front of you, I can even cut you off!
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Jun's generals made a decisive move.
Order, switch from defense to offense, and cut off the Zhao army's line fleeing north.
Unfortunately, such an order was exactly what Zhao Kuo wanted.
If you want to attack, you can no longer defend with a circular formation. As long as you can get out of that bastard's shell, we can use our lives to pile you up.
That's right, the thousands of Zhao troops who rushed in from the junction were not the main force to break out, but poisonous bait to lure out the Qin army. "He who cares for the dead will live, and he who cares for luck will die." Zhao Kuo murmured to himself as he looked coldly at the Qin army changing their formations.
"Send the order to the whole army. When the Qin army changes formation, the front army will immediately insert into it and attack the Qin army's center!" Zhao Kuo continued to order while covering his chest.
"Yes!" The ordering soldier was shocked. Sure enough, the general was the general, and he indeed had a back-up plan. Without the slightest hesitation, the messenger rode away.
The Qin army is indeed the most powerful army in the world. The Chinese army's large banner was swung in the wind, and the circular formation that was originally like a turtle shell immediately changed. Fish scale formations appeared in front of the Zhao army. Several Qin soldiers in the front The army even arrogantly set up a front-line formation in an attempt to cut off Zhao's army fleeing north.
In fact, the Qin army did it, with almost no obstruction, as smooth as a hot knife cutting butter, and soon cut the main force of the Zhao army fleeing north into two pieces.
Just when the Qin army was excited and wanted to divide, surround and eat all the thousands of Zhao troops who had fallen into the formation.
The Zhao army, who had received Zhao Kuo's order again, took action first. No matter how strong the Qin army was, they were still human beings. During the change of formation, there would inevitably be speed and slowness, and between the speed and slowness, gaps would appear in the overall formation, and These small gaps are opportunities for Zhao Jun.
Without the slightest hesitation, the more than 20,000 Zhao troops who were originally responsible for sticking to the Qin army and entangled the Qin army jumped out and rushed towards the Qin army's central army.
The Qin army, who was thinking about how to encircle and kill them, could not react in time. Seeing tens of thousands of Zhao troops, they rushed into the Qin formation. Even the thousands of Zhao troops who were surrounded had no intention of breaking out. , Instead, they stormed towards the Qin army's central army.
This attack instantly tied up the limited strength of the Qin army, and also created opportunities for the Zhao army to disperse and rush in.
Of course, the Qin Army's reaction was very fast. Almost out of instinct, several nearby Qin Army units formed a group, including the crossbowmen and the shield soldiers, and independently formed a three-dimensional combat unit. Zhao Jun rushed forward to meet the intrusion.
