It has to be said that the reason why the Qin army was able to dominate the Warring States Period was that its strong individual combat capabilities, high technical and tactical capabilities of small units, and the tacit understanding of coordinated operations among multiple arms obviously played a big role in it. (Generals such as Bai Qi and others also took great credit for their great achievements)
Even in the face of Zhao Kuo's insidious strategy, the Qin army still created possibilities among the impossible - spontaneously intercepting the Zhao army that broke into the formation.
Once the interception is successful, Zhao Jun will not only lose most of its combat power, but will also be completely strategically passive.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong the technology and tactics are, they are just tactics. The success of tactics is not worth mentioning in the face of the failure of strategy. (Like the Battle of Pearl Harbor, it was a typical tactical success and a strategic failure.)
Although the soldiers of the Qin Army had fought tooth and nail to save the situation, it was obvious that the mistakes made by their generals could not be made up for by a few outbreaks of the Qin Army.
Even though the Qin army's response was quick enough, the invading Zhao army intercepted almost 70% of them, but the remaining 30% still rushed into the Chinese army.
The Qin army originally had few soldiers. In order to block the Zhao army, the Qin army's generals had sent all their troops to the front line. Today's Chinese army, except for hundreds of personal soldiers and a few messengers, there is no one at all. Combat strength.
The result is already determined.
Thousands of Zhao troops were divided into three groups and attacked the Chinese army in a mighty manner.
Soon, in the center of the Qin Army, the towering black banner collapsed. Under the banner, the Qin Army's general had fallen to the ground, and bright red blood slowly flowed from his neck and spread to the black flag. superior.
"Long live Zhao!"
"Zhao Jun is mighty!"
As the Qin army's banner collapsed, bursts of warm cheers broke out among the Zhao army.
Zhao Kuo pointed his sword and issued an order: "The whole army attacks!"
"Kill!" The roars were accompanied by sonorous footsteps, slowly approaching the Qin army.
Compared with the Zhao army, which had great morale, the Qin army was obviously a little confused - it had been so many years since they had been defeated by a general! The last time seemed to be the battle between Yan and Yu more than ten years ago, right?
They were also fighting against the State of Zhao. It seemed that the general was the father of the current general of the Zhao army—Ma Fu Jun Zhao She?
Involuntarily, the remaining Qin army, especially the generals who knew that Guo Yan was fighting with him, were a little stunned on the spot - is this a tiger father with no dog son?
The sudden defeat almost made Qin Jun, who was accustomed to victory, breathless. With the fall of the Chinese army, the morale of the Qin army was inevitably severely hit. Many Qin soldiers were even stunned when they looked at the fallen banner. They stopped holding their swords, only to be struck by the opponent. Zhao Jun beheaded him on the spot.
Fortunately, the Qin army had certain plans to deal with the lack of generals. The captains and commanders of each battalion quickly reacted and took over command almost immediately. However, the war was inevitable. Sliding in a direction that Qin Jun was not happy to see.
Without the dispatch of the Chinese army, the captains of each battalion would not be able to know the full picture of the battlefield, let alone reinforcements for friendly forces. Each unit could only rely on its own capabilities and fight on its own. As a result, Zhao Jun was naturally defeated one by one.
However, Zhao Kuo, who was eager to run for his life, did not want to fight the Qin army for a long time.
Mobilize troops to rescue the thousands of Zhao troops who have broken into the encirclement, and then concentrate their troops to break through the Qin troops on the key roads. If the rest of the Qin troops dare to come out, they will surround and annihilate them. If they are grouped together, then use a small number of troops. Just monitor.
The Qin army had no choice but to defend.
However, in the face of several times or even dozens of times the strength of the Zhao army, the Qin army was eventually defeated by the Zhao army even though it showed its super combat power and resilience.
Even when faced with the concentrated Qin army, the Zhao army would attack the nearby Qin army first, luring the Qin army to come for reinforcements, thereby weakening the Qin army's combat power, and then seize it in one fell swoop.
Several defeated troops were consciously let go by Zhao Jun. Soon, the entire Qin Army's front knew Zhao Jun's bad behavior of luring troops to reinforce. Therefore, the Qin Army, which had learned a lesson from the pain, no longer dared to rush for reinforcements at will.
As a result, several roads leading to the north could not be defended by the Qin army's lonely battle.
Once the road was clear, Zhao Jun did not hesitate at all, gathered his troops, and headed north together.
Zoumaling in the north was the destination of Zhao Jun. As early as when the army had just crossed Danshui, Zhao Kuo had already sent out scouts to find out clearly the roads in the mountains and forests of Zoumaling. Therefore, as long as he entered the mountain at this time, , it is considered completely safe.
Zhao Jun's nearly 50,000 troops ran wildly on the plains of the north. At this moment, the 10,000 pursuing troops sent by Bai Qi were about to touch Zhao Jun's butt. If the Qin army in front of them could hold on for even a quarter of an hour, the Zhao army would probably pay a huge price.
Of course, Zhao Kuo's determination not to get entangled was also one of the important reasons why the main force of the Zhao army successfully escaped from the clutches of the devil.
Of course, even so, Zhao Jun still paid the lives of more than 10,000 people when facing the weak Qin army of about 20,000 troops on the way north.
Without him, even the isolated and helpless Qin army still caused great damage to the Zhao army.
However, the 20,000 Qin army lost only 4,000 in one battle. The battle loss ratio of nearly one to three, if placed before, would definitely be a big victory. Just from the perspective of strategic intentions, Zhao Jun successfully broke through the encirclement, and only paid less than one-fifth of the price for this. It was clear that Zhao Jun was making a lot of money.
Coupled with the losses of the Qin army, although they gained a lot, the Qin army was not happy at all.
Also unhappy was Lian Po, who insisted on conducting under the moonlit night.
"It's urgent!" Lian Po looked at the bright moon in the sky, then glanced at the front line in front of him, frowned slightly, and finally said those words to Lord Xinling: "Our army, withdraw quickly?!"
"Retreat?" Lord Xinling couldn't believe his ears. Did Lian Po just say retreat? In such a good situation?
That's right, in Lord Xinling's eyes, the current Wei army is in great shape!
General Jin Bi of the rear army successfully stopped the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Qin troops, while the Qin army in front of them also gradually retreated after nightfall. Several important hills and nodes that had been fought over repeatedly were captured by the Wei army. It is time to push back the Qin army. Just when the Wei army is advancing steadily, instead of investing all the remaining reserves to expand the results, you tell me that you want to withdraw?
Crazy!
Of course Lian Po was not crazy. In Lian Po's eyes, the Qin army in front of him and the Qin army behind him were obviously showing weakness and tempting his army to continue to go deeper. When the army went deep and the Qin army was ready, there was no need to I thought, it must be a hard blow! The kind that hammered the Wei army to pieces.
Where did you see it? It was clear that the Qin army on the opposite side had increased its troops, but it did not reinforce itself. Instead, the Qin army abandoned several important nodes. Such an obvious operation did nothing but lure the enemy deeper.
