To be exact, Zhao Kuo had already fallen in love with Li Mu's plan the first time he saw it.
And what Zhao Kuo wanted was even more than what Li Mu wanted. Li Mu's 45,000 main force went to eat the 25,000 Qin army, and the 25,000 people in Zhao Kuo's hands should naturally be eaten. Kill 30,000 Korean troops.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo woke up the sleeping army and took advantage of the night to head south of Xinzheng City. While the army was being prepared, Zhao Kuo also wrote a letter of agreement in handwriting and handed it back to Li Mu's soldiers who came to deliver the letter.
After more than an hour after the Korean army crossed the border, a fast horse appeared in front of Li Mu.
There was no other way. In order to avoid encountering the Korean army on the way, Zhao Kuo specifically asked his soldiers to take a detour. He would rather go slower than let the Korean army discover the accident.
After seeing the word "agree" written with dragons and phoenixes on the silk book, Li Mu was determined.
However, what Li Mu didn't know was that Zhao Kuo did not lead his troops to block the Korean army's return reinforcements as he thought.
In fact, Zhao Kuo's 25,000-strong army has been divided into two parts. One part of 5,000 people is blocking the south of Xinzheng City as a rear army, while the other part of 20,000 people has followed Zhao Kuo's great banner. They attacked the Korean army in a mighty manner.
Standing in the early morning sunshine, Zhao Kuo held the long knife high in his hand. The warm sunlight reflected on the sharp blade, but it gave off a little cold light.
The bright red banner behind him immediately understood, and the black banner with the word "Zhao" slowly rose.
Immediately, the swords of the 20,000-strong army were unsheathed, and the sound of clanging metal could be heard; the bows and crossbows were strung up, and the heavy wooden weapons let out a squeaking roar; the shields were raised, the spears were slightly flattened, and bursts of roars resounded throughout the field; the cavalry lowered their hands slightly His body was about to pull off the war horse's blindfold. In the instinctive fear of the dark, the war horse flapped its four hooves and made a clicking sound.
The long sword slashed down, Zhao Kuo lightly clamped the horse's belly and fled out like flying;
The banner tilted, which was exactly the direction Zhao Kuo set out.
That is to say, Dagulai set off with hundreds of cavalry closely following Zhao Kuo's cavalry.
At the same time, the whimpering horn finally sounded, and bursts of drums immediately disrupted the movements of the remaining soldiers.
In an instant, dust flew into the south of Xinzheng City, and the sound of killing filled the sky.
Hundreds of elite cavalry led by Zhao Kuo naturally rushed to the front of the team, and spears were the best weapons in their hands. The long-long spear was held flat in the hands of the cavalry. He lowered his body slightly, clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, and stared directly at the big banner in front of him with his deep eyes, speeding up, speeding up, and speeding up again;
The light cavalry on both wings were immediately activated. They were not only the absolute main force in attacking the Korean army, which was mainly infantry, but also the main responsibility in encircling the Korean army and annihilating it. Either with their long swords slightly hanging, or with their bows drawn sideways, a full four thousand cavalrymen filed out, divided into two groups: left and right, closely following the elite cavalry in front, and rushed straight towards the Korean army.
Then came the largest number of infantry, shield soldiers, jumping soldiers and spear soldiers, ten thousand people, all lined up at once, boundless. Various types of troops formed a phalanx while marching, marching in neat steps, following the cavalry in front, and advancing quickly.
Finally, there are long-range attack forces such as archers and crossbowmen. Surrounded and protected by infantry, their movement speed is obviously slower.
The entire formation of the Zhao army has been displayed in the sky and the earth. The various arms are arranged in echelons, with heavy cavalry attacking in the front, infantry filling in behind, aerial arrow rain attacks, and light cavalry harassment on both wings, forming a three-dimensional compound attack.
The 20,000-strong army was like a sharp arrow that pierced the Korean army that was still marching.
Listening to the muffled thunder-like sound coming from the distance and looking at the sun slowly rising in the sky, the Korean generals quickly realized something. .z.
"Enemy attack!" Almost instantly, the general of the Korean army shouted.
It should be said that the reaction of the Korean general was not unpleasant. It was obvious that he had grown a lot after the Battle of Luo City.
Unfortunately, no matter how quick his reaction was, the long marching column would not have time to adjust its formation.
On the contrary, his roar caused the entire Korean army's march to become chaotic - the front army heard the general's roar and quickly adjusted their ranks.
The formation was prepared to resist the enemy's charge, but the soldiers in the center and rear army continued to march without getting orders from the general.
As a result, the formation of the front army that had not yet been formed was quickly broken up by the swarming soldiers of the central army and the rear army. However, after being intercepted by the front army, the soldiers of the central army and the rear army stood stunned. In place.
Before the Zhao army could see it, the entire Han army camp was already in chaos.
"Don't mess up!"
"Form yourself into formation and defend yourself!"
"Quick! Be fast."
Not only the soldiers at the bottom of the Korean army, but also the general in command couldn't help but panic. While saying no chaos, he also urged the soldiers to "quickly".
Unfortunately, the Korean army under his command was not as elite as the Qin army. Under the general's slightly contradictory orders, the Korean soldiers quickly became confused.
With a chaotic formation and a panic mentality, the Korean army was already on the verge of collapse.
At this time, under the sun, a black line slowly appeared on the edge of the sky, and then, a little cold light appeared in the eyes of the Korean general.
Seeing that the enemy army had appeared, but his own army had not even adjusted its defensive formation, a feeling of despair instantly filled his heart.
Just when the leader of the Korean army wanted to close his eyes and wait quietly for death, he suddenly thought, no, we still have reinforcements!
Immediately, the leader of the Han army called his own soldiers and said: "Quickly, send a message to the Qin army. Our army is attacked by the main force of the Zhao army. Please come to our aid as soon as possible!"
"You, go to Xinzheng quickly and ask me, the king, to send reinforcements as soon as possible." Facing another soldier, the Korean army commander ordered again.
"Yes." The two soldiers beside him agreed immediately.
Obviously, in order to survive, the leader of the Korean army has already risked his life. Whether it is the Qin army in the rear or the Korean army with only a few thousand people in Xinzheng City, they have become his life-saving straw.
As the soldiers left, the Korean general could already see the word "Zhao" on the bright red banner.
Fortunately, with the unremitting efforts of the Korean generals, the Korean army's formation was finally able to squeeze out a defensive front slightly before Zhao Jun rushed forward.
The voices of "defense" almost kept coming.
Unfortunately, the voice of the Korean army was soon covered by the sound of killing in the distance.
"Archers!" Seeing that Zhao Jun had reached the attack range, the Han army general roared immediately.
It's a pity that only a few small square formations of his archers have been prepared. As the order of the Korean army general was issued, only a few arrows were shot from the Korean army.
The reason why the arrow rain is powerful is that it has airtight power. Unfortunately, the Korean army's arrow rain has no power at all. Naturally, this "careless" arrow rain could not hurt Zhao Jun at all.
Even after Zhao Jun saw the rain of arrows shot by Han Jun, he became more confident.
Obviously, Zhao Jun's surprise attack worked.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo slashed his long sword across his hand, and all the cavalry immediately separated.
More than 4,000 cavalrymen actually bypassed the bumpy front of the Korean army and headed straight towards the left and right wings of the Korean army.
On the one hand, this was most of the cavalry's combat plan when there was no saddle. On the other hand, seeing the Korean army's formation in chaos, Zhao Kuo was obviously running towards the goal of leaving all the Korean army behind.
Looking at the division of the Zhao army's cavalry in front of him, for some reason, the general of the Han army even felt a trace of happiness in his heart.
There is no way. What the Korean army needs most now is time. They must delay enough time to allow the Qin army in the rear and the Korean army in Xinzheng City to come to reinforcements.
Zhao Jun outflanked the two flanks, and the Korean army was naturally in danger of being completely surrounded, but on the other hand, it also avoided the danger of being defeated by Zhao Jun.
Therefore, even after seeing Zhao Jun's retreat, the Han army's general did not react at all and was still adjusting his defensive formation persistently.
Just when Han Jun was finally about to organize his long snake formation into the most suitable defensive formation, Zhao Jun's
Arrow Rain has arrived!
Unlike the sparse rain of arrows from the Korean army, the rain of arrows from the Zhao army was so huge and dense.
Although the Zhao army only had 5,000 archers, these 5,000 people were gathered together. When a round of arrows rained down, the Korean army's already uneven front instantly became more and more bumpy.
Immediately, after Zhao Jun's arrow rain determined the advantage of the front line, it directly crossed the already devastated front line and hit the unformed archer phalanx at the rear.
There were only five thousand archers, but they directly suppressed the Korean army's tens of thousands of archers, unable to move.
Finally, after several rounds of arrows, Zhao Kuo's banner finally reached the front of the Korean infantry.
The long knife in his hand was swung, like a sickle cutting through wheat straw, a cloud of blood mist flew up, and several lives were harvested in an instant.
The infantry of the Korean army also tried to wield their spears and swords. Unfortunately, with the tacit cooperation of Zhao Kuo's soldiers, the spears and swords could only hit a wooden shield covered with iron sheets, except for leaving behind Apart from the deep or shallow marks, there are only tinkling sounds and dots of sparks telling the inability of the Korean army to attack.
Even if he was lucky enough to break into it, he would be blocked by Zhao Kuo's excellent armor and could not hurt Zhao Kuo at all.
Although the Korean army's counterattack was very weak, the infantry of Zhao army had not arrived yet. There were many others in the Korean army.
Although Zhao Kuo and his soldiers rushed to the left and right, the Korean army still poured in in the direction of Zhao Kuo. Only three people were killed here, and five more people came in from the other side.
Immediately, the shallow marks on the shield and armor became deeper and deeper under the constant beating, and even the marks of different depths eventually merged into shallow gaps.
The ants kill the elephant, so it is said.
Just when the gap was about to turn into a hole, Zhao Jun's infantry finally arrived on the battlefield.
Then it was Zhao Jun's turn again.
Because of the pull of Zhao Kuo and his soldiers, the Korean army's line, which was already in chaos, was weakened in more than one way.
The infantry of the Zhao army that followed saw their king opening a gap for them. They were all crazy, almost willing to sacrifice their lives for injuries and lives for ground, and advanced towards the Korean army without any risk. With.
Of course, facing the weak Korean army, this style of play is somewhat wasteful, but it is also very practical.
In just a blink of an eye, the line of defense that Han Jun finally put together was broken by Zhao Jun.
