The captain was beheaded, the military formation was broken, and any army would fall into chaos.
Naturally, even the Qin army, which is known as the strongest army in the world, is no exception.
And chaos will only encourage the opponent to become more unscrupulous and murderous. As a result, Zhao Jun's killing became more and more fierce.
This fierce killing made the Qin army even more at a loss as to what to do, and timidity quietly emerged from this at a loss.
The entire army collapsed in just a moment.
Wang Lu behind him didn't even have time to raise the gold, and the three thousand Qin troops on the front line were defeated by Lian Po in one blow.
This was certainly due to Lian Po's bravery and surprise, but it has to be said that luck was also on Lian Po's side. The captain was killed by Lian Po on the spot in just one encounter, which was the most important reason for the Qin army's defeat. reason.
At this time, even if Wang Lu wanted to send troops to reinforce, it would be impossible.
The defeated troops will irrationally overwhelm the rescuing troops, unless Wang Lu orders the follow-up troops to mercilessly kill all those who rush towards the military formation, regardless of whether they are friendly or enemy.
Obviously, this is a way to kill eight hundred enemies and lose three thousand to yourself.
Just when Wang Hao was wondering whether to abandon the three thousand troops, the Zhao army on the battlefield stopped their pursuit and allowed the three thousand Qin troops to rush back into the formation.
Seeing Zhao Jun returning in a hurry, Wang Hao immediately realized that he had missed an excellent opportunity - an excellent opportunity to kill Lian Po and occupy the barrier.
Obviously, if the Zhao army had sufficient strength, it would be a good time to take advantage of the victory to cover up the enemy's attack, and they would never give up and return to camp.
There is only one reason for this: Zhao Jun is stalling for time.
And just now, if Wang Hao led his army to rush over desperately, although he would lose the three thousand front troops, he would most likely be able to keep the two thousand soldiers of Zhao army outside the barrier, and then capture the entire barrier.
Unfortunately, the opportunity is fleeting, and if you miss it, you miss it.
After exhaling a long breath, Wang Hao immediately ordered: "The front army gathered the defeated army, and the 20,000 central army marched forward from the left and right wings and rushed straight to the Zhao army's barrier."
"Yes." The messenger immediately agreed.
Immediately, the whimpering horn sounded again. The Qin army's military formation also changed accordingly.
Lian Po, who had just returned to the fortress, received another signal from the wall before he could rest for a while.
"Wang Lu, you are really like a maggot attached to your bones!" Lian Po couldn't help but sigh.
I thought that this attack, after defeating the Qin Army's forward, could delay the Qin Army for an hour or two, but I didn't expect that in less than two-quarters of an hour, the Qin Army started taking action again.
Fortunately, it will take some time for the Qin army to change their formation and attack the barrier.
This is enough time to adjust your formation.
Immediately, Lian Po also ordered: "Execute as planned."
"Yes." The soldiers around him all agreed.
Immediately, the soldiers around him quickly updated their arrows, and then filed out from the other side of the barrier.
Outside the barrier on the other side, dozens of bonfires were already burning.
The soldiers immediately gathered around the bonfire in units of tuns, and lit the rockets they had just obtained in turn, quietly waiting for the final order.
At this time, General Lian Po climbed up the wall of the village and quietly watched the formation changes of the Qin army in the distance.
It should be said that the Qin army was well-trained after all. Using their horses and raised spears, the Qin army quickly stopped the fleeing front army.
Immediately, the fleeing soldiers were disarmed one by one and pulled into the rear camp to wait for defeat. At the same time, the 20,000 Qin troops in the central army, like two black dragons, rushed out of the military formation along both sides of the defeated army. .
It was not until all the defeated troops were wrapped up that the Qin army slowly closed the entire military formation.
But in more than a quarter of an hour, another complete military formation appeared in front of the barrier.
Only this time, the Qin army's march slowed down significantly, and those at the forefront were no longer sword and shield soldiers suitable for climbing, but spear soldiers who were more suitable for dealing with cavalry.
.
As the saying goes, a gun advances like a forest, and the current Qin army's military formation is like a hedgehog with exploding thorns, slowly moving towards the Zhao army's barrier.
One step, two steps, although the Qin army was not marching very fast, every step seemed to be stepping on General Lian Po's heart.
Until they reached 200 steps in front of the barrier, the expected arrow was still not dropped, and Wang Hao suddenly knew it in his heart.
As the big banner was waved, the urging drum beat sounded immediately.
A full 20,000 troops immediately rushed towards Zhao Jun's barrier.
At this time, bursts of rapid beating of drums also came from Zhao Jun's camp and the stronghold wall.
However, compared to the endless march of the Qin army, the sound of the Zhao army's drum beating was like summer rain, coming and going faster.
Just a few drumbeats disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
But these few drumbeats were enough for Zhao Jun behind the barrier!
"put!"
A series of orders immediately sounded in the rear formation.
Rockets immediately rose into the sky and shot straight into the barrier.
Looking at the dense arrows in the sky, the soldiers on the front line of the Qin army couldn't help but tremble.
But before they could close their eyes, the rain of arrows in the sky stopped in the barrier in front of them.
Before he had time to rejoice, a wave of heat surged out instantly.
The barrier, which was soaked in kerosene up and down, front and back, burst into flames almost instantly, just as the Qin army's infantry arrived at the wall.
The sudden flames instantly engulfed the Qin soldiers who were too close.
Wails instantly echoed across the battlefield.
While the flames were raging, dozens of riders rushed out of the barrier through the vast sea of fire, not the drumming General Lian Po.
Fortunately, the rocket ignited the end close to the Qin army. General Lian Po, who rushed down the village tower a second before the rocket was shot, almost walked away on the spreading flames.
Finally, just before the flames completely blocked the barrier, he broke out of the barrier.
However, General Lian Po, who was a little embarrassed after the disaster, had no time to take a breath and had to continue on the way back.
There was no other way. Although the fire behind him was fierce, Lian Po really didn't have confidence in how long it could hold back the Qin army.
Regardless of the situation of the rear barrier, Lian Po immediately pointed to the north and shouted loudly: "All troops, withdraw!"
Immediately, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded again, and a group of three thousand people continued to march toward the north in a mighty manner.
The Qin army was blocked by the sea of fire and suffered. They had already touched the barrier, but they could not enter. They could only watch the big banner turned into ashes in the flames.
Especially Wang Hao behind him, who almost broke his back molars.
Sure enough, all the Zhao troops had evacuated, and he was just a little bit close to killing Lian Po!
It’s just that there is no regret medicine in this world.
Wang Lu obviously understood this very well, and he immediately suppressed his unhappiness and ordered: "The whole army should put out the fire immediately and open a passage first!"
At the same time, Wang Lu also ordered all the Qin troops who were still in their own barriers to attack.
There is strength in numbers. With the joint efforts of an army of 50,000 people, in just two quarters of an hour, a channel that could supply two horses running in parallel was sorted out.
This time, Wang Lu didn't hesitate at all, and embarked on the pursuit with 10,000 cavalry.
It should be said that Wang Lu's move was very risky.
Although Lian Po's strength at the barrier just now was certain to be only a few thousand men, as he continued to the north, it was unknown where the main force of the Zhao army would be stationed and whether there would be a large army on the road.
Wang Hao took only 10,000 cavalry to pursue him. This was of course taking a risk. If one is not good, even Wang Hao himself will have to fill it in.
However, for some reason, Wang Hao felt that he was
You should pursue it. As long as you pursue it, you will definitely gain something.
This was not an act of anger after being teased by Lian Po, but the correct guidance given by years of battlefield experience.
In fact, this is easy to understand.
The reason why Lian Po took the risk of blocking the barrier with thousands of cavalry was just to delay the attack.
And Lian Po wanted to delay time, which meant that at least another Zhao army had just left and needed more time to get on its way.
Pursuing is naturally the most correct choice.
Although it is a bit risky, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
But at this time, Wang Hao no longer had to think so much. His many years of battlefield career had already told him the best choice.
And that's exactly what happened.
Although it had been several hours since the 30,000 Zhao troops left the barrier, it was obvious that the speed of the infantry could not be compared with that of the cavalry.
The distance from the barrier to Xinzheng was enough for Wang Hao to catch up with the Zhao army.
What? Aren’t thirty thousand troops afraid of Wang Lu’s ten thousand men?
This is not in the mountains and forests, but on the plains!
Even if Wang Hao only has 10,000 cavalry in his hands, Wang Hao can still have 10,000 ways to trap the 30,000 Zhao army on this road.
Not to mention, behind Wang Lu, there were nearly 200,000 Qin army tigers and wolves.
If he walked slowly, even Lian Po and his three thousand cavalry would not be able to escape.
Soon, Lian Po received news that Wang Lu was pursuing the cavalry.
A helpless multiple-choice question was once again placed in front of Lian Po: should he want his own 3,000 cavalry or the 30,000 army.
Three thousand versus ten thousand, this has never been an easy task. Even if the Zhao army's individual combat power is slightly higher than that of the Qin army's cavalry, in the face of several times the numerical difference, this difference in individual combat power is almost worthless. Mention it.
What's even worse is that it is his old rival Wang Lu who is leading the attack now.
You don't need to think about it to know that it is almost impossible to expect him to fall into the trap like that young Meng Ao.
In other words, staying in Zhou Xuan might give the 30,000 troops a chance to survive, but he and the 3,000 cavalry...
Without any time to think, Lian Po quickly responded with his own practical actions.
Turning the horse's head, the three thousand cavalrymen immediately hid in a hill.
