Just when Sima Cuo was about to order the entire army to retreat, there were birds flying in the forest along the way they came from, and then an army with the banner "Zhao" appeared in Sima Cuo's field of vision. middle.
Zhao's reinforcements have arrived!
"Heaven will kill me!" Sima Cuo swung away a Zhao soldier with his long sword, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.
Sima Cuo knew that it was impossible to retreat! Not to mention whether they can outrun Zhao Jun's horses and arrows, with the retreat blocked, it is impossible to break through quickly under Zhao Jun's pressure.
In other words, he and the 600, oh no, less than 200 warriors under his command were already the turtles in the urn. Involuntarily, the eyes of the Qin army officers also darkened.
On the contrary, the arrival of reinforcements excited the soldiers of the Zhao army who were still fighting - everything was exactly as expected by their superiors - the Qin army was bound to be defeated!
The excited Zhao Jun soldiers swung the long swords in their hands more and more fiercely.
Under this situation, the Qin army's situation became increasingly difficult. The first to collapse was the left wing. Taking advantage of the Qin army's distraction, Zhao's soldiers successfully killed three people in a row, completely destroying the sideline that the Qin army had been holding on to. Several Zhao soldiers immediately pinched the horse's belly and urged the horse to move. Stepping on the still squirming corpses of the Qin army's horses, they walked around to the direct rear of the Qin army, and then dozens of Zhao army cavalry immediately followed up, completing the siege of the Qin army in an instant.
Seeing that he was surrounded by the Zhao army, even though he was a sharp soldier of the Qin army, his heart suddenly trembled. Without paying attention, several more people fell under the sword of the Zhao army.
The Zhao army's cavalry immediately broke into the Qin army's line and completely divided and surrounded the Qin army on the left.
However, the Qin Army's war cavalry is always a warrior of the Qin Army. Facing the Zhao Army attacking from all directions, at the most desperate moment, not only was it not discouraged at all, but it also burst out with super strong fighting spirit and combat power.
I saw the Qin army's warriors, either in groups of three or in teams of multiple people, forming an offensive and defensive alliance to protect each other's backs. With tacit cooperation, they worked together to share the attack from Zhao Jun. .
For a while, although the Zhao army completed the division and encirclement of the Qin army, it was unable to annihilate it.
Of course, everyone knows that even if the Qin army can still maintain one or two, it is only a matter of time before the divided and surrounded army is wiped out.
The next one to fall is the frontal battlefield, and then the Qin army on the right.
Eventually, all the Qin troops will fall.
"General!" A low shout woke up Sima Cuo, who was slightly stunned.
Following the sound, another Qin Army warrior slowly fell down in front of Sima Cuo, and fell under the attack of several Zhao soldiers, for Sima Cuo.
He gritted his back teeth and tried to calm down his despair and sadness. Sima Cuo knew that there were hundreds of warriors behind him looking at him, so he could not be timid or messy.
Even if he dies, he should die on the way to charge. His death will be more heroic and more valuable. Even if they couldn't break out of the encirclement or send a message, they should still kill a few more Zhao soldiers.
Today, he kills one more Zhao soldier; tomorrow, the Qin army will feel less pressure!
"Now that the way forward is cut off, it's better to fight vigorously, and maybe we can break out from the front!" Sima Cuo immediately said loudly: "The matter is over, gentlemen, please follow me and die!"
"Kill!" Sima swung away two Zhao soldiers, raised his sword high and roared.
"Kill!" The Qin army warriors behind them also followed suit and roared.
All the soldiers of the Qin army have understood Sima Cuo's intention, but no one has flinched. It's nothing but death!
Soon, a front arrow formation was formed while marching. This time, Sima Cuo personally acted as the spearhead, and his goal was even more clear, and he rushed straight towards Zhao Kuo, who was hundreds of steps away.
Facing Zhao Jun's powerful attack, Qin Jun also had a solution--pay it with your life!
You cut me with a knife, it doesn't matter, I'll cut it for you. I didn't even use my sword to block it. A pair of iron hands with bones as hard as fine iron hugged the long knife tightly. The two comrades beside me took advantage of the opportunity. The two swords were swung. Under the attack of the two swords, Zhao Jun could not dodge left or right. Either you will cut off my arm, or you will give me way.
Under Qin Jun's desperate tactics, Zhao Jun actually got hit. Dozens of people were caught off guard and either had their hands cut off, or had a big hole in their stomachs, or were given a way to escape. Come. Of course, the Qin army also had a hard time. Whether they were holding the sword with their bodies or chopping their hands with the sword, they could not escape the fate of being hit again by the Zhao army on the side.
Almost three deaths are exchanged for one injury, and sometimes there is even no exchange. The battle loss ratio was so high that even if the soldiers were replaced by ordinary soldiers, the Qin army commander would still feel distressed, not to mention the lives of sharp soldiers.
Sima Cuo looked at his subordinates rushing forward one after another, and his heart was as sharp as a knife. But there was no expression on Sima Cuo's face, because he understood that no amount of sorrow could save the lives of the soldiers, and he did not stop the soldiers from going to death, because Sima Cuo understood better that the consequences of all this Everything was just to open a way for him - the way to Zhao Kuo.
This road is destined to be filled with blood, and most of it is the blood of the Qin army. And what he has to do is to follow this bloody road and kill Zhao Kuo! Kill Zhao Kuo...
Although there were heavy casualties, in the end, the Qin army successfully pushed back the Zhao army for a while. This was the first time that the Qin army had the "advantage" since the war began. However, the price of this "advantage" was too great.
But, it doesn’t matter! It's only a matter of time before you die in battle! The Qin army's combat power, which was determined to die, became more and more powerful. Although the men were still falling off their horses one by one, this road was finally opened up.
Looking at the Qin army approaching with great momentum, Zhao Kuo did not move at all. Not only did he not order the crossbow troops to return to defense, he did not even adjust the formation of the army on the right.
This made the guards around him extremely anxious. Without waiting for Zhao Kuo's orders, twenty guards formed a guard formation to protect Zhao Kuo in it. They will never allow the Shangdang War to happen again.
Naturally, Zhao Kuo would not be so powerful as to prevent the guards from forming a formation. Soon the formation of the guards had been adjusted, and the Qin army's front line was less than 300 steps away from Zhao Kuo. At this distance, Sima Cuo could even clearly see where Zhao Kuo was.
But, this is not enough!
After looking at the dozen or so scarred remnants around him, as well as the Zhao army that was swarming around them, and then at the Zhao army that was waiting in formation in the distance, a feeling of despair once again filled Sima Cuo's heart.
Just a little difference, a little distance.
The distance between us is like a natural chasm!
