Chapter 392 Death Battle Hangu Pass (5)
Qin, Zhao army fighting in the valley, Qin army was fooled out of the chase pass, such a good opportunity Zhao Kuo must not want to lose, Hangu Pass is too dangerous, forcibly attack the casualties more than the battlefield fight several times, what to do now is to trap Wang Qian's army, force the other party to ask for help, once the soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass reinforcements, in the end it will be eaten by the Zhao army, if you do not increase the troops, simply wipe out the main force led by Wang Jian in one fell swoop, and then the army will take Hangu Pass directly.
Wang Jian put down a circular formation, as mentioned above, the circular formation, one of the formations, has excellent stability, and the battalions can rescue each other, but the disadvantage is that the flexibility is insufficient, and the cavalry can not give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, the cavalry mostly attacks in a conical formation, and the infantry is a four-way array or a two-way assault formation.
The formation is endless, and when used properly, it can maximize attack and defense, and can even defeat the strong with the weak, and win more with less.
Zhao Kuo responded in a timely manner, with a clear intention of the four-way rush method, the four teams of elite cavalry entered, and the position happened to be one team in the southeast, one in the northwest, which was equivalent to dividing the opponent's circular array into four parts from the center, and the four teams of men and horses were ready, and once the large array was separated, they would immediately enter.
Wang Jian didn't dare to be careless and immediately joined the formation, the stage of the battlefield became a two-person fighting formation, Zhao Kuo is familiar with the soldiers and horses, needless to say, although Wang Jian is young and studious, with the goal of surpassing Bai Qi as his life, he has become the commander of the Qin army from a hairy boy in a few years, so he has won the trust of Qin Wang Yingzheng, which is enough to see Wang Qian's ability.
Wang Jian changed the formation, and the inner formation drove the outer formation to crack Zhao Kuo's intention.
At the sound of the order, the middle camp instantly closed, from the inside to the outside, as if a water pattern rose in the water and spread outward, and the entire large array also changed.
The four-way cavalry rushed in, the advantage was fully revealed, the cavalry had the advantage of the war horse, the speed was extremely fast, the spear in the high place was smashed with stabbing and smashing, the screams were bursting, the peripheral Qin army camp was rushed away by the cavalry, the cavalry urged the war horse again and again, the war horse was equipped with an iron helmet, and the Qin army was not afraid of the spear in the face of the Qin army, and the Qin army in front of it crashed and flew away, and the whole camp rushed inward.
As the cavalry kept fighting, just as Wang Jian feared, it was like four rifts extending inward, and once the rifts kept expanding, the entire camp would be divided into four pieces.
"Zhao Kuo, what a vicious intention."
"General, it's better for the last general to lead the crowd to kill."
Wang Jian waved his hand, the sky was too dark, and the layout of the peripheral Zhao army could not be clarified, so he simply sought stability, dragged the other party with a formation, and waited until dawn to make plans.
The middle camp has outward, spears, shields, bows and arrows are in formation, the camp is compact, the cavalry of Zhao State is approaching, and the arrows from the rear are sent out, mostly hard bows, full of strength, even if there is armor on the body, it is not spared, the cavalry rushing in front of them have fallen off their horses, and the entire central large formation does not move at all.
The middle array, like a barrier rising in the water, completely intercepted the four torrents, although the torrent is fierce, once the head of the water is blocked, the momentum of the rear will be weakened, Wang Jian calmly responded, the archers seized the opportunity to launch an offensive, rushing in front of the cavalry have fallen off their horses.
The cavalry offensive was blocked, so they had to keep attacking to the sides to ensure the maximum space for the cavalry to attack.
"Hey!"
Wang Jian waved the big flag in his hand, and the big array was interspersed with each other from the inside out, Zhao Kuo stood in the back and nodded repeatedly, secretly admiring in his heart, Wang Jian was so powerful, he used a trick to break his four-way siege and kill with an internal flowering, fortunately, the cavalry advantage is still there, and this battle is not a loss, "Out of the battle." ”
Zhao Kuo gave an order, and the four flags behind him shook at the same time, and the drum beat changed, and the drummer's arms opened, knock knock, and the drum beat was urgent.
At the same time, there are Zhao soldiers and horses in the four directions, Zhao Kuo can see clearly when he stands on a high place, and sees that the opponent's large array is combined, if he does not attack decisively, the cavalry will inevitably suffer a loss when he enters the formation.
Once the cavalry is trapped by people and wants to raise troops to rescue them, they are already at a disadvantage in the first opportunity at this time, if they are only facing ordinary people, it is easy to do, how smart Wang Jian is, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to swallow the elite cavalry of Zhao State.
Zhao Kuo made a decisive move, making the flag shake, the drum beat faster, and the quartet camp entered at the same time, and the attack was just right at this time.
"Out of battle."
"Out of battle."
"Out of battle!"
"Out of battle!"
Under the four orders, the Quartet Great Array had already been prepared, and the soldiers were full of food and drink, and they were full of energy, which the Qin army could not compare with at all, the dry food had been used up, and now they were surrounded and beaten, and they had lost in momentum.
Four teams of men and horses rushed out, the cavalry offensive did not stop, and the combination of internal and external effects was immediately apparent, especially the periphery of the Qin army had been chaotic by the cavalry of the Zhao army, several Qin army generals urged the horses to gallop, and kept shouting loudly in their mouths, trying to redeem the disadvantages of the periphery, holding spears Zhao Jun rushed closer, spears stabbed out one after another, and immediately 'the long sword in the general's hand swung out, a bloody light, which was also coincidental, sprayed directly on the face, and the eyes were closed instantly, completely in the inner defense of people.
In response to that sentence, as soon as the eyes were closed, a lifetime passed, and two Zhao Jun armed with spears approached, the spears stabbed out at the same time, both arms exerted force, and the corpse was picked off the horse.
As soon as the main general died, the periphery was in chaos, the Zhao army cooperated with each other, holding spears and constantly advancing inward, the Zhao army had 10,000 soldiers and horses each, this kind of close-range fighting spear formation was the most effective.
Wang Jian frowned, seeing that the sky was white, and there were only thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, so he could only hope that the rear would break through the defense of the Zhao army earlier.
"General Ray."
Thunderstorm stepped forward, "Thunderstorm is here." ”
"Lead the guards to attack the rear of the Zhao army, open the passage, and return to Hangu Pass."
"Whoa!"
The thunderstorm was launched, with only two thousand guards, the battle in the rear was stalemate, Bai Ying led the crowd to block the road and did not give an inch, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the main general of the rear formation looked at the sky and couldn't help but be secretly anxious, seeing that the time was coming, and the offensive did not make any progress at all.
"Rush to kill."
The adjutant general on the side said: "General, you are almost dead." ”
The ground was full of corpses, and the direct gap between the two camps was almost filled with corpses, and then looking at the two camps, Bai Ying was covered in blood and kept panting, and there were only five thousand soldiers and horses left, from 50,000 to 5,000, and it was impossible to remember how many times he blocked the impact of the Qin army.
"Corpse formation."
The soldiers moved quickly, and the corpses piled up along the way, and the Qin army and the Zhao army soon formed a wall of corpses, one tall and two low, and the local materials were taken, Bai Ying was also smart, and the soldiers in the rear kept throwing the corpses along the way.
"General."
The lieutenant trotted all the way to the front, "The corpse formation has been formed, and I got a lot of spears back by the way." ”
"Okay."
Bai Ying took a deep breath, "General Chuan Ben ordered that not a single Qin person should be allowed to leave. "Saying that the whole person fell down, there was only the sound of the lieutenant general shouting incessantly.
The sky was bright, Wang Qian's large army array kept shrinking inward, the periphery was completely surrounded by the Zhao army, the rear battle was even more tragic, the thunderstorm led the personal guards to attack and could not break through the Zhao army's defense, high corpse mountain, spears flying in the air, for the Zhao country, for the dream in their hearts, everyone did not hesitate to fight with their lives.
The thunderstorm arm stopped, and there were less than a thousand left behind him, and the fierceness of the battle even moved the veteran, of course, there is also a point, the spirit of the Zhao people, what makes these people face the sharp spear with flesh and blood, the strength of the Qin people lies in the fierceness, and now the tenacity shown by the Zhao people makes the Qin people fierce and completely lose the luster of the past.
Zhao Kuo urged him to step forward, the black devil guards protected the left and right, they were all first-class and first-class good hands, just as Zhao Kuo approached, several cold arrows were sent out from the Qin army camp to take Zhao Kuo, the sword light flashed, the black devil guards shot one after another, clean and neat, the cold arrows shot down one after another, and the figure quickly retreated.
Zhao Kuo didn't stop, the distance between the two sides was close enough, Qin Jun couldn't help but look sideways, this person is Zhao Kuo, the king of Zhao State, who once created a legendary man of Zhao State again and again, a man who once humiliated the Qin people and was also admired by the Qin people, he is a hero, a real hero.
"The world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, this is the general trend, why did General Wang go against the sky."
Wang Qianren laughed in the array, "A good time will be together, Qin was originally bullied in a corner of peace, it is with the strength of the old Qin people, a strength that is not afraid of death and does not admit defeat, that there is such an achievement today, if it were not for you Zhao Kuo, the world would have already returned to Qin, and the person who went against the sky was you." ”
Zhao Kuo's body shook, his body had not yet recovered, Wang Jian laughed, it is undeniable, this is a fact, if it wasn't for that crossing, Zhao Kuo was dead in the Battle of Changping, although Zhao Guo had Li Mu to maintain it, he was finally defeated by Qin and was destroyed, the world returned to Qin, it was Zhao Kuo who went against the sky.
Life in the world, I don't want to be manipulated by fate forever, Zhao Kuo wants to go against the sky.
"Now the general trend has been decided, if the general is only for his own fame, and does not hesitate to take everyone's lives, Zhao Kuo can only become a general." Zhao Kuo used psychological tactics again, it was not easy to persuade Wang Jian to surrender, although the other party was surrounded now, Wang Qian's troops still had tens of thousands, and the middle array spread outward, completely possessing the power of self-preservation, if he hit with all his strength, he also had the strength to break through the camp, but one point, if he chose to break through forcibly, the rear camp would inevitably be killed by the Zhao army.
Zhao Kuo's words, the Qin army's big array moved instantly, and the eyes of the Qin army with a spear changed, and in the face of the powerful threat of the Zhao army on the periphery, the fighting spirit in his heart began to loosen, and the situation was completely controlled by the Zhao people from the beginning, and there was only death if he fought hard.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is to die for some reason, is it just for Wang Qian's personal glory, so isn't it too unjust to die, most of these soldiers and horses are forcibly recruited, and they have no choice but to go to war with the army, not what Wang Jian said, everyone does not hesitate to fight to the death for Qin, if they can, they are willing to leave immediately.
"What's the pity of the eldest husband's death, I just hate that I can't kill all the thieves and achieve a great cause for the king."
Wang Jian was loyal, and secondly, because of Wang Ling's death, he hated Zhao Kuo, and he couldn't wait to shoot him to death.
Da da da, the sound of horses' hooves approached, a team of men and horses approached, and their bodies were covered with blood marks, it was the thunderstorm guards who seized the opportunity to break through the outer defense of the Zhao army, and as the Zhao army surrounded Wang Qian, the return camp and the middle large array passage were lost at the same time.
"General."
Wang Jian turned around, "Do you want to break through the defenses of the Zhao army?" ”
The man shook his head, "There are not enough troops to break through, General Lei is determined to fight to the death, and ordered me to come and report to the general that he had planned in advance." ”
Wang Jian frowned deeply, how many men and horses did Zhao Kuo lay behind him, he fought for more than a day, and repeatedly sent elite reinforcements, and calculated, the rear camp plus the reinforcements were close to 60,000 casualties, and they still couldn't break through the opponent's defense, whether the Zhao army was too strong or the Qin army was too weak.
