There was no surprise at all. The weak Han army could not even hold on for a single round in the hands of Zhao Jun.
In other words, from the beginning, Han Jun could not be Zhao Jun's opponent. The only question was how long Han Jun could persist.
As the front line position was broken, Zhao Kuo's banner immediately sent an order, and each battalion broke into the Korean army's formation and began to cooperate with the peripheral cavalry to divide and surround the Korean army.
To be honest, if possible, Zhao Kuo would not be willing to carry out interspersed, divided and surrounded so quickly.
The reason is very simple. The cavalry outflanking the two flanks are far from being in place. If they are inserted at this time, it is very likely to cause a complete rout of the Korean army.
This is obviously contrary to Zhao Kuo's original intention of annihilating the Korean army.
It's a pity that the Korean army was defeated too quickly. Even if Zhao Kuo is not willing, he has no choice but to keep as much as he can.
Fortunately, because the Qin army was not far away, the Korean army did not collapse because of this. Even the leader of the Korean army was still desperately gathering troops to defend.
Of course, maybe he was worried that even if he escaped, he might not be able to escape the pursuit of thousands of Zhao Jun's cavalry.
The Korean army here is still making a death struggle, and the soldiers of the Korean army commander over there have finally arrived in Xinzheng City. It is a pity that the thousands of troops in the hands of King Han dare to go out of the city to fight.
Therefore, the only thing the Han army can hope for is the Qin army.
At this time, the Qin army also received a request for help from the Korean army. Meng Ao immediately ordered his troops and horses and quickly advanced in the direction of the Korean army.
What was in front of them was the valley where Li Mu was ambushing.
In order to be able to meet the Korean army as soon as possible, they were cautious along the way and faced the valley, but did not send more scouts. Perhaps in his eyes, the Korean army had just passed through, and this small valley should be safe.
Unfortunately, on the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to take things for granted.
In fact, as long as Meng Ao sent even a team of scouts and looked up the mountain, the Zhao army that had been dispatched would be nowhere to be seen. Although the Korean army was destined to be unable to be saved, at least his more than 20,000 troops could be preserved.
As long as the more than 20,000 Qin troops are not defeated, Zhao Jun's operation will not be considered a success. At least, as long as the Qin army's 25,000 troops can enter Xinzheng, the Zhao army can only be forced to retreat.
It's a pity that there is never if in this world.
Finally, Meng Ao and the 25,000 troops under his command also stepped onto the ladder to hell step by step under the urging of the Korean soldiers.
The warm sunshine shone on Meng Ao's face, and Meng Ao felt a sense of irritability for no reason. After shaking his somewhat irritable head, Meng Ao still moved his horse and entered the valley with the army.
What he didn't know was that this might be the last reminder God gave him.
At the moment Meng Ao urged his war horses to enter the valley mouth, bursts of breeze followed. Accompanied by wisps of breeze, Qin's 25,000-strong army marched briskly into the valley.
Entering the valley, the sunlight above the head was instantly blocked. In the cool environment, Qin Jun's pace accelerated a bit.
Only the dawn at the entrance of the valley seemed to be guiding the Qin army's direction right in front of them. However, it was actually impossible to see the entrance of the valley due to the twists and turns of the valley road.
As the army went deep into it, Meng Ao's brows gradually wrinkled. Obviously, Meng Ao had felt a little bit strange. The reason is simple - it's too quiet. The further inside you go, the quieter it gets!
Finally, Meng Ao looked up at the blue sky above his head, and finally understood where the weirdness in his heart came from.
It stands to reason that with such a long march, the birds and beasts in the mountains should be frightened by the neighing of the people and the horses. Not to mention the sudden scurrying of wolves, at least there must be a lot of frightened birds!
But what about now? Not to mention the animals and birds, there were no chirping insects or frogs.
You know, it's just the beginning of autumn, the weather is still very hot, and there should be insects and frogs chirping!
In this way, perhaps there is only one possibility, that is, someone has already frightened those birds away, and it was before his army entered.
Gudi had been scared away before.
Korean army?
Han Jun has been gone for at least more than an hour. Even if he scared away a few birds, it is time to return.
General Meng Aosun only felt that he had fallen into a bottomless ice cellar, and a bone-chilling chill hit his heart!
But Meng Ao was obviously no longer Wu Xia Ameng. Even in such a situation, Meng Ao did not panic.
He knew that the more he needed to be calm at this time, the enemy must be observing him above his head. If he wanted to break the situation, he would have to retreat immediately.
Looking at the valley above his head, Meng Ao knew that even if the enemy was observing, they would not be able to see clearly. If you can calmly turn and retreat before the enemy reacts, you may be able to save most of your troops.
After exhaling a long breath, Meng Ao said coldly to the soldiers beside him: "Quickly and quietly convey the order. The front army separated a thousand people and continued to advance. The rest of the army quietly stopped. The rear team became the front team and slowly exited the valley. !」
The ordering soldiers were stunned for a moment, but then they realized that the general must have discovered something unusual!
Immediately, several ordering soldiers scattered and flew towards the two ends of the army to convey orders. Read the book
Sure enough, the actions of the messenger did not attract any attention from the Zhao army above them.
It is a pity that although the Qin army is already elite enough, the queue inevitably suffered a brief chaos when it turned around and turned towards the mouth of the valley.
Although it was only a brief and minor confusion, Li Mu still keenly noticed something was wrong on the top of the mountain.
Taking a closer look at the Qin army's queue, although the black line continues to move forward, the queue moving forward seems to be much thinner than the queue behind it.
Immediately, Li Mu understood that Qin Jun must have discovered something. Although there was still a certain distance from the best ambush point he expected, Li Mu knew that he could not wait any longer.
Without any hesitation, a red flag suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain and danced twice wantonly with the autumn wind. Then, in front of the Qin army, there were bursts of roaring sounds from the end of the valley - —Like a landslide!
The Qin army, which had just adjusted its formation, had not yet figured out the situation, and its attention was attracted by the vibrations in the valley, and it suddenly fell into chaos again.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Meng Ao knew that Zhao Jun had already begun to launch his attack. He immediately roared at the messenger beside him without hesitation.
Immediately, Meng Ao took the lead and started running wildly while Taniguchi continued to communicate with his soldiers.
After all, the Qin army is the strongest army in the world. Even under such circumstances, there was still only a brief panic. Then the army followed Meng Ao's footsteps and ran towards the entrance of the valley.
Riding a war horse, Meng Ao ran wildly while directing the team around him to try to attack from the not too steep hillside. Unfortunately, his opponent was Li Mu.
How could Li Mu, one of the four generals of the Warring States Period, leave any chance to his opponent.
On the not too steep hillside, the soldiers of the Qin Army did not wait for a few steps to charge, and sharp arrows rushed out from the dense jungle. Taking advantage of the terrain and the dense queue of the Qin Army, it took almost no effort. , he shot the Qin army on the spot who rushed up the hillside.
Even if they were lucky enough to escape the attack of arrows, they were greeted by Zhao Jun's ruthless spears.
Fighting high and low, there was almost no suspense. The Qin army, which had finally escaped the rain of arrows, was stabbed through by Zhao Jun's spear.
Immediately afterwards, more Zhao troops hiding behind the ridge were revealed, and huge rolling logs and rocks with endless flames smashed at the Qin army in the valley.
Then, rockets all over the sky rained down on the Qin army's array like a downpour. .
In just a moment, the withered autumn grass was ignited by rolling logs, rocks and rockets. The fire spread with the autumn breeze. Almost in an instant, the hillsides on both sides of the road were ignited.
Immediately, Zhao Jun's soldiers once again threw down the prepared rolling logs and rocks mixed with bundles of withered grass branches, which would be the best "fuel" for the mountain fire.
If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will never be extinguished!
Seeing that the hillsides on the left and right sides had been ignited by wildfires, it was obvious that the idea of breaking out from the hillsides on both sides was impossible.
Therefore, all hope was left in front of Meng Ao.
Since ancient times, there has been one road in Huashan, kill!
Meng Ao waved his big hand, and the five thousand cavalry immediately followed his footsteps and continued to rush towards the entrance of the valley. Even though it was visible to the naked eye that the mouth of the valley had been occupied by Zhao Jun, the five thousand cavalry still rushed towards the mouth of the valley without any regrets.
Question: How to fight against the enemy's cavalry when there are limited horses and insufficient cavalry?
Answer: Use car formation!
This question was the answer given by Meng Ao's grandson Meng Yi in history during the battle to destroy the Huns. Now with the arrival of Zhao Kuo, it will be fulfilled on his grandfather first.
Of course, to be precise, Meng Yi defeated the Huns' cavalry by relying on a car array equipped with powerful crossbows.
What a coincidence, Li Mu brought these things with him.
The farther toward the valley entrance, the gentler the slope of the hillside, the smaller the Zhao army's advantage. The long marching column and the gentler slope also made it impossible to block the mountain with rocks like the other end of the valley.
However, Li Mu had already expected this. In order to block the Qin army, Li Mu also concentrated all the few carriages on the side of the valley entrance. With the red flag waving on the top of the mountain, these carriages moved towards the valley almost non-stop. Taniguchi gathered.
It's a pity that Zhao Jun acted quickly, and Qin Jun's response was not slow.
The most important thing is the five thousand elite cavalry under Meng Ao! Their speed is simply too fast. The cavalry on the other side has already arrived before the car formation has been organized.
Forty tanks formed a temporary defensive line in an attempt to block the exit of the valley.
On the chariot, two people held halberds and three held knives and crossbows. Behind them were about two hundred archers who were drawing their bows and shooting arrows. Zhao Jun was prepared for both distant attack and close combat.
On the slopes on both sides of the valley entrance, because it was close to the valley entrance and the wind was constantly changing, Zhao Jun did not place too many fire starters to avoid hurting himself.
Looking through the dim light of the fire, there were only about a thousand Zhao troops, all of whom were wearing fine armor and led by one man. They were as powerful as dragons and tigers, and as strong as oxen.
Yes, Li Mu also put his most capable Zhao Wei here.
It's a pity that there is only one Zhao Wei, but the hillside has two sides, and there are three breakout routes in front of Meng Ao.
