On the road of life, there will always be many ups and downs and hardships.
It's just that some people will sink in this ups and downs, while some people will struggle out of the difficulties.
But obviously, heaven and earth are unkind and will not change his established rules because of anyone or anything.
So, it was clear that last night there was a roaring wind accompanied by lightning and thunder, but today, the sun is still rising high.
The sobbing horns also resounded throughout the sky and the earth along with the sun. Tens of thousands of Qin troops lined up and still marched to Xinzheng City with neat drumbeats.
It’s just that Xinzheng City today looks a little weird.
The whimpering horns and drums did not sound as scheduled, and there were not even many busy figures on the tower.
"Did Zhao Jun abandon the city?" Wang Lu, who was standing in the middle of the army and observing Zhao Jun's movements, couldn't help but guess in his heart: It's impossible. The most difficult first three days have been passed safely. Zhao Jun has no reason to give up now. That's right.
What's more, if he retreats now, he can pursue him in an instant, and Zhao Jun's losses may be even greater.
But if he didn't give up, how could it be so quiet on the tower in the face of his own attack?
After much deliberation, Wang Hao still couldn't figure it out. In spite of himself, a slight bad premonition flashed through Wang Hao's heart.
But no matter what, Wang Lu still did not order a retreat. At this point in the battle, no matter what Zhao Jun wanted to do, he could only accompany him. It's nothing more than picking on the enemy at a moment's notice.
The Zhao army in the city did not keep Wang Long waiting for long.
Just when the Qin army was about to approach 300 steps outside the city tower and began to gradually accelerate, a whimpering horn sound suddenly sounded in the city.
Immediately afterwards, the huge city gate suddenly opened.
Waiting for the Qin army
At the moment of inexplicable surprise, a dense rain of arrows stopped the Qin army from rushing towards the city gate.
At the same time, a giant white dragon rushed out of the city gate.
Taking a closer look, it was a suit of filial piety draped on the body of Zhao Jun's cavalry.
The leader was Li Mu, who was leading the charge with a broadsword in hand, and the surviving cavalry team under General Lian Po. Afterwards, tens of thousands of Zhao army infantry followed closely, waving their swords.
Amidst the sobbing horns, bursts of "avenge the old general" echoed throughout the world.
In just the blink of an eye, the mighty Zhao Army cavalry rushed in front of the Qin Army's formation.
The collision of black and white instantly burst out countless red blood flowers.
The blood showering down from the sky further aroused Zhao Jun's ferocity!
All the Zhao soldiers were almost crazy, and they all rushed towards the Qin army without fear of death.
For a moment, it was really impossible to tell who was the attacking party and who was the defending party.
Yes, Li Mu took tens of thousands of Zhao troops and took the initiative to rush out of Xinzheng City, which had complete fortifications, and directly attacked the Qin army's array.
This is of course a mess in the art of war. After all, instead of giving up the defensive side which has a huge advantage, and instead using a weak force to attack a strong force, that is what only a fool would do.
Huge losses are almost foreseeable. Even if the control is not good and the Qin army takes advantage of it, it is not impossible that the entire Xinzheng City can be captured.
However, such a stupid thing, a thing with huge risks, is very necessary for Zhao Jun today.
The reason is very simple. The death of the old general had a real impact on Zhao Jun.
It was too big, especially the old general who was trapped in a tight siege just to cover the more than 30,000 infantry.
Not to mention other things, one can imagine the frustration in the hearts of these 30,000 people.
Since there is frustration, the best way is to let them vent it.
And if you want to vent the frustration in your heart, it is impossible to defend with frustration. Only by taking the initiative and having a hearty battle with the Qin army can relief be possible.
Compared with the morale of the entire army, the slight loss of troops seems a bit insignificant.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li
Mu wanted to ensure that Xinzheng City would not be lost as a result.
Li Mu is obviously very confident about this.
Without him, there are only four words: "Sorrowful soldiers will win"!
Not to mention that the suddenness of the Zhao army's counterattack at this time was enough to seize a certain initiative. The formation formed by Li Mu alone was enough to defeat the Qin army.
Li Mu personally led the army, with the cavalry once led by General Lian Po as the forerunner, and the 30,000 infantry covered by General Lian Po as the main force, to launch an attack on the Qin army.
You know, these more than 30,000 people all owe their lives to General Lian Po.
After going to the battlefield, you have to fight to the death!
No matter how elite the Qin army is, they will only suffer under this kind of attack that is bent on death.
Sure enough, the reality was not far different from what Li Mu expected.
The cavalry he brought with him had already made several holes in the Qin army's front line formation in almost one encounter.
The subsequent arrival of more than 30,000 troops was like a hammer hitting the Qin army in the chest.
The Qin army, which suffered heavy losses, unconsciously stopped advancing.
Of course, to contain Qin
The offensive step of the army is only the first step, and letting the Qin army retreat is the key to the battle.
Unfortunately, Zhao Jun is never the only army with tenacious perseverance.
Obviously I am the attacker, but you still dare to go out of the city to fight. No one would be happy if you replaced me! Especially the Qin army, which has high morale and looks down upon the world.
Therefore, in the face of the fierce attack of the Zhao army, the Qin army not only did not retreat at all, but instead aroused the Qin army to become bloody. As a result, the slogan "Jiujiu, old Qin, fight against the national calamity together" sounded again, and the Qin troops shouted the slogan and rushed towards the Zhao army fearlessly.
On one side was the generous and tragic man from Yanzhao who risked his life for the old general, and on the other was the old Qin man from Jiujiang Guanzhong who had gone to the national disaster together. For a moment, the two armies became anxious outside Xinzheng City.
Of course, as time went by, the balance of the war inevitably began to tilt slightly towards Zhao Jun, who was dressed in plain clothes.
"A soldier who mourns will surely win" is not just talk.
Wang Lu, who was standing in the middle army and looking at the battle ahead, couldn't help but frown.
If it weren't for Zhao Jun's sophistication, Wang Hao would definitely be glad that Zhao Jun didn't defend the city and instead went out to fight.
With the advantage of this force, Wang Lu just gave Zhao Jun a severe blow. Even if he could not capture Xinzheng in one fell swoop, Zhao Jun would inevitably suffer heavy losses and lay the foundation for subsequent attacks.
However, the raw material of this body is so dazzling under the sunlight.
Of course he knew that there was only one reason why the entire Zhao army could be kept silent: General Lian Po died of his injuries.
Logically speaking, this would be an excellent opportunity to attack, taking advantage of the internal chaos within the Zhao army.
But obviously, succeeding General Lian Po
The man who knew this was also very aware of this, and even used a trick on Wang Lu to turn grief into strength.
Under the attack of Zhao Jun's Ai Bing, Qin Jun was obviously no match.
Even though he had a certain strength advantage, according to Wang Lu's observation, there were at least 150,000 or 60,000 Zhao troops in the city.
However, in order to attack Xinzheng while Lian Po was seriously injured, he hurried north with an army of 200,000 without waiting for the subsequent 50,000 troops.
In other words, his military advantage is only 40,000 to 50,000 at most. Under Zhao Jun's offensive, the advantage of 40,000 to 50,000 troops was obviously not enough.
For a moment, facing Lian Po's sudden departure, Wang Hao didn't even know whether to be happy or sad.
The only thing Wang Hao knew was that he couldn't fight head-on with this group of Zhao Jun who were already crazy.
If the two armies continue to fight hard, the two armies will inevitably enter the final decisive battle. Facing the Zhao army with a morale bonus, the Qin army is obviously at a disadvantage.
The best result that he could see was that both sides would suffer losses.
Once the main force on the front suffers serious losses, there will be no need for subsequent partial divisions.
Faced with this situation, Wang Lu also made an instant decision: "Send the order: Ming Jin withdraws his troops."
Immediately, as Wang Lu's order was issued, bursts of golden sounds soon came from the Qin army's central formation.
The Qin troops on the front line immediately covered each other and evacuated to the Chinese army alternately.
Li Mu, who had already taken advantage of the situation, did not order a pursuit. Obviously, he had no intention of deciding the outcome with the Qin army in Xinzheng.
The reason is very simple. Although the Zhao army in mourning is powerful, in fact, this
The strength cannot last forever.
Especially in the confrontation between hundreds of thousands of troops, there is no way to determine the outcome within a few days.
And as time goes by, the effectiveness of the mourning soldiers will also show a cliff-like decline. At that time, the problem of Zhao army's insufficient strength will become the leverage of Qin army.
The greatest possibility is that the Zhao army will win first and then lose. After each side loses a large number of troops, they will retreat to their original positions.
Although this was not the result that Qin Jun wanted, it was also not the result that Li Mu and Zhao Guo wanted.
You know, for this decisive battle, Zhao Kuo even mobilized the barbarians in Jiuyuan County, and the entire Zhao Kingdom also paid a huge price for this battle.
If Li Mu changed this battle from a nationwide decisive battle to a local battle, and it would result in both sides losing, this would undoubtedly be a failure for Zhao.
Naturally, after taking a certain advantage, the Qin army voluntarily withdraws, which will be the result that Li Mu wants to see the most.
Of course, if Zhao Wei and his heavy cavalry were here, Li Mu's decision would change. The reason is also very simple, because the destructive power of the heavy cavalry is too strong. As long as the heavy cavalry participates, Li Mu can shorten the battle of several days to one or two days.
Within a day or two, with the support of the "Sorrow Soldiers", the Zhao Army almost had an absolute advantage against the Qin Army.
If he could directly defeat the main frontal force of the Qin army, and his own losses would not be too great, Li Mu would certainly be willing to do such a deal.
It's a pity that although the heavy cavalry has always been in Handan, Zhao Kuo did not let Zhao Wei accompany him in this reinforcements.
But no matter what, looking at the Qin army that has gradually withdrawn its troops back to the camp,
, Zhao Jun behind Li Mu also let out bursts of shouts, the kind that came from the bottom of his heart.
Obviously, Li Mu's tactical goal has been achieved.
