Facing the Zhao army's elite cavalry, the Qin army did not show any fear at all. They quickly adjusted their formation and rushed forward to meet Zhao Jun's golden blade.
The rustling autumn wind whispers in the ears, and the fluttering black banner makes a sound against the rising sun!
All the Qin troops were prepared to die under the sword of the Zhao army, and all the Qin troops had also planned to use their lives to hold back the Zhao army on the opposite side.
Closer, closer, closer!
The arrow behind my back is already in my hand, and I can draw the bow and shoot quickly in just a few steps!
The soldiers of the Qin army immediately began to adjust their breathing, preparing to give the Zhao army on the opposite side a severe blow.
At this moment, the Zhao army in front suddenly changed its formation. Even outside the limit range of arrow shooting, the originally sharp arrow suddenly made an almost vertical turn to the east, running straight towards the east. The Qin army marched away.
"Not good!" Meng Ao suddenly felt something was wrong.
It was too late, but it was too soon. Just when Meng Ao frowned, the Zhao army's elite cavalry, which was coming and going like the wind, had already broken through the Qin army's line on the east side.
The Qin army, which had no convenience, was broken by the Zhao army before it could make any reaction.
When dozens of Qin troops fell to the ground, a voice instantly sounded in Qin Jun's heart: Can cavalry still be used like this?
The captain on the left wing of the Qin army who had just reacted immediately led his troops to pursue him.
But under this pursuit, the Qin army's formation was mostly disrupted.
When the Qin army fell into confusion and chaos for a short time, Lian Po on the opposite side was not idle. After running away for a while, the Zhao army did not leave, nor did it turn around to collect water.
Once again, out of the attack range of the Qin army's arrows, the Zhao army's cavalry, led by Lian Po, smoothly completed an almost 100-degree turn, and then rushed towards the Qin army diagonally.
While running, these thousands of cavalrymen set up their bows and shot arrows. With the help of their horse speed, Zhao Jun's bows and arrows shot solidly into the Qin army's array.
Because of the problem of direction and angle, Zhao Jun's bows and arrows are almost always shot from the front, and they can use their horses to quickly shoot to the Qin Army's array. However, the Qin Army can almost only shoot from the side and cannot hit Zhao Jun's array at all.
This way you can hit me, but I can't hit you, which is obviously the most uncomfortable feeling.
After two rounds of ejection, when the Zhao army was about to reach the Qin army's shooting range, Lian Po led the Zhao army to adjust its direction and came straight to the Qin army's left flank.
In the blink of an eye, the Zhao army's cavalry had already fought with the pursuing Qin army's cavalry.
Obviously, the Qin army in pursuit still did not expect that Zhao Jun's cavalry would fight back, and they suddenly panicked.
Lian Po, who had white hair and beard, was still on the front line, slashing horizontally and vertically with the long knife in his hand. The oncoming Qin Army captain lost his life immediately.
Without a command, the Qin army fell into brief chaos.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qin army, the Zhao army had no intention of staying behind. As soon as he raised his sword and fell, Lian Po had already led the Zhao army's elite cavalry to kill the pursuing Qin army again.
In just a few turns, Lian Po, with a few thousand cavalry, defeated the Qin army on the left.
Of course, defeat does not mean total annihilation. Although the Qin army was killed and retreated, it quickly stabilized its footing under the leadership of the subsequent Qin army and their respective captains.
However, this inevitably delayed the Qin army's main attack speed.
And in this short period of time, Lian Po had already led the cavalry towards the Qin army on the right!
"Well done!" The captain of the Qin army on the right wing was immediately overjoyed.
Obviously, after the left wing was attacked repeatedly by the Zhao army, the Qin army on the right also immediately stopped outflanking, slowed down its horse speed and moved closer to the left.
Seeing Zhao Jun break through the left wing again, the captain on the right seemed to have expected it. He immediately adjusted his formation, slowed down his horse speed again, and prepared to deal with Zhao Jun's impact.
It's a pity that ginger is still spicy.
In other words, the Qin army's formation has been
The chaotic Zhao army always firmly occupied the initiative on the battlefield. Seeing the Qin army on the right lowering their horse speed again and again, the entire formation even took on a half-moon shape. Lian, who had experienced hundreds of battles, Quite, how could one not know their intentions.
If they hit it head-on, it would be obvious that they would be entangled immediately by the Qin army with a superior number.
The Zhao army, which only has more than 3,000 people, will surely become the target of the Qin army once it loses its mobility.
Of course, Lian Po would not be fooled so easily. Seeing that the Qin army had already set up a formation, Lian Po tilted the long knife in his hand slightly, and at the edge of the attack range of the Qin army's arrows, the Zhao army's elite cavalry turned again.
But this time, Lian Po's troops fled in the direction of Jishui crossing the river.
Obviously, from the perspective of the captain of the Qin army, the Zhao army was about to evacuate. Especially when he saw that there were not many Zhao troops on the south bank of Jishui, he strengthened his thoughts.
Since Zhao Jun wanted to run away, he certainly couldn't let them leave so easily.
The captains on the right wing, including Meng Ao, were all anxious when they saw that Zhao Jun was about to leave.
On the battlefield, the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Immediately, both Meng Ao and the captain of the Qin army on the right gave orders to their troops to pursue them with all their might.
It was this order that allowed Lian Po to find a loophole.
Yes, until this moment, Lian Po still had no intention of retreating directly to Jishui.
The reason is simple. Although the main force of the army has withdrawn to the north bank of Jishui, it still needs time to assemble and even more time to form a blocking position on the north bank.
At this time, he was marching towards the north bank. Once the Qin army followed and attacked, the unprepared Zhao army would most likely suffer a big loss in the melee.
This is certainly not what Lian Po wants to see. At least, the Zhao army that had crossed the Jishui had to set up their archer positions before Lian Po could begin to cross the river.
Of course, this is not something Lian Po can delay if he wants to.
However, it was obvious that Lian Po and Zhao Jun were very lucky, and the Qin Army in desperation made another mistake.
The right-wing Qin army, which had just gradually formed a half-moon formation, was now changing into a pursuit formation. Even with the strength of the Qin army, it was inevitable to hesitate a little during the change of formation.
And this brief hesitation was an opportunity for Lian Po and Zhao Jun.
Yes, they came back again and again!
Another turn of nearly 100 degrees. Because the boat was small and easy to turn around, Zhao Jun still completed the turn faster than Qin Army even though he made the turn after Qin Army changed formation.
The Zhao army adjusted its direction again and then attacked the Qin army again.
This time, their target was of course the right wing of the Qin Army.
Needless to say, in a panic, the Qin army's right wing was once again defeated by the Zhao army.
However, Meng Ao in the rear finally saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, and finally no longer bothered to provide reinforcements.
Seeing that the right wing was defeated by Zhao Jun again, Meng Ao did not send more troops to assist the right wing. Instead, they put their troops into the left wing, which had gradually regained its strength.
His goal was very clear, which was to use the left-wing forces to cut off Zhao Jun's retreat.
Don't you want to break my right wing? I do not want it! Even if I kill this army of 10,000 people, you won’t be able to kill them!
But in the end, you still have to cross the river. As long as my soldiers and horses on the left wing can successfully circle back, your thousands of soldiers and horses will be unable to escape. No matter how heavy the losses of the troops on the right wing are, it will still be worth it.
It's a pity that Meng Ao underestimated Zhao Jun's ability and overestimated his subordinates.
You must know that the Qin army on the left wing was defeated just now, and even the captain and the captain were beheaded by General Lian Po. Even if the retreat was stopped by the subsequent troops, it was inevitable that there would still be confusion.
Even if Meng Ao immediately reassigns the captain, it will be difficult to control the entire army in a short period of time.
Naturally, there was hesitation in the speed of counterattack.
You're a little late
Undoubtedly, General Lian Po had already made a plan, and General Lian Po, who took the lead, was even more confident. Almost at the moment when he defeated the right-wing Qin army and made it chaotic, Lian Po led the army to change direction.
This time, Zhao Jun can finally retreat!
After looking at the main force that had gradually crossed the water and gained a firm foothold, Lian Po knew that his task of covering had been completed, and the only remaining problem was how to leave safely.
"Cross the river!" After holding back the command for a long time, Lian Po could finally shout it loudly.
No one was stingy with their horsepower, and immediately started running towards the water in several directions according to the original plan.
Behind the Qin army, those responsible for outflanking on the right were still adjusting, while those on the left were just reacting. As for the main force led by Meng Ao in the middle, they were even further away.
For a time, there was no force at all that could stop Zhao Jun from retreating north.
Of course, Meng Ao and his 50,000 cavalry still did not give up, and quickly regrouped from the temporary chaos. At this time, the three armies were almost on the same plane, except for the one on the left that was slightly forward.
Since he was already too late, in order to avoid being defeated by the Zhao army one by one, Meng Ao simply merged the three armies into one, re-formed the front formation and pursued Lian Po in a mighty manner.
In fact, if Meng Ao did not change the formation at the beginning, and did not think about annihilating the Zhao army in front of him, but maintained the sharp arrow formation to attack the Zhao army head-on, Lian Po would be very powerful. No matter how hard you try, you can't even out the more than ten times gap in numbers.
It's a pity that it was just a matter of time.
However, this is no wonder Meng Ao, whoever sees the big flag with the word "Lian" on it will have some evil thoughts in his heart!
Defeating Lian Po, or even capturing Lian Po alive, what a great achievement, and what a great reputation it will bring.
Seeing such an opportunity to make a name for himself is right in front of him, let alone a young man like Meng Ao, even a veteran like Wang Lu may not be able to bear it!
In the final analysis, Meng Ao is still slightly inferior.
It is clear that there is more than ten times the strength advantage, but it just cannot be used.
On local battlefields, Zhao Jun always has the advantage in strength. Zhao Jun can always defeat him, but he is helpless against Zhao Jun. Several disguised attacks made the Qin army's left and right wings unable to defend themselves.
Of course, then again, if Wang Hao had not transferred the 20,000 cavalry troops away, Meng Ao would have been able to increase the strength of the left and right wings, with 20,000 troops on each side and 30,000 troops in the middle. Even if Lian Po came to attack , the two wings, each with 20,000 troops, may not be so easily defeated.
It's a pity that everything happened by chance.
Wang Hao mobilized 20,000 cavalry, grabbed the Wei army who was about to flee, and annihilated the main force of the Wei army on the south bank of Jishui.
But because of the transfer of the 20,000 cavalry, Meng Ao's troops were not that sufficient, which gave Lian Po room to perform.
Whether it is a profit or a loss, who can say for sure?
Besides, if the Qin army really still has 70,000 soldiers, Lian Po's tactics may change again!
But no matter what, the fact has been cast, and there is no point in thinking more.
The pursuit continued, but as the situation on the north bank of Jishui gradually unfolded in front of the Qin army, everyone knew that they had no chance.
