Chapter 296 Shocking Qin Zhao Zhengfeng (20)

Just when Mu Chen and Bai Ying led their troops to resist the designated position, Zhao Kuo's army was also facing a test, facing a stronger opponent, every step had to be carefully calculated, and there could not be too many mistakes.

Wang Jian personally went out to fight, the army advanced forward with the intention of seizing the earthen dam, once the control of the earthen dam was taken away by Qin, all efforts will be in vain, the spies came to report, the rear pass found the Qin soldiers and horses, if you can't drag the Qin army here, the plan to capture Yiyang will inevitably fail, the most important thing is that Zhao Kuo led the men and horses to also fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy.

"King, the Qin army is attacking, do you want reinforcements immediately?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head, "Don't worry about it for the time being, immediately lead 10,000 troops to attack the rear pass at night, and there are many suspicious soldiers in the mountains along the way." ”

"Yes!"

Erwa flew on her horse and led a team of elite people to dig out the city and go straight to the rear Qin army to control the zhì pass, whether or not to capture the pass is related to the retreat of the Zhao army, there are 30,000 elite around the earthen dam, and the Qin army cannot capture it in a short time.

On the other side of the earth dam, dozens of people were hidden in a hidden position, carrying heavy hammers in their hands, just waiting for the king's order to immediately chisel down the horizontal wood on the middle earth dam, and the horizontal wood was removed, and the earth dam could not withstand the huge pressure brought by the water at all.

The Qin army pushed forward, shouting everywhere, Ying Zheng stood on top of the high king, his eyes fell into the distance, "Zhao Kuo, what are you going to do!" ”

Wang Jian led the troops forward, and was not in a hurry to launch an offensive, the closer the distance was to himself, the more beneficial it was to himself, a deep ditch appeared in front of everyone, this way has long been used to it, digging a deep pit on the periphery, and increasing the height at the same time, and the combination of the two aspects forms a height far exceeding the speed of other ways.

"Array."

Closer and closer to the defense of the Zhao army, there is no trace of the Zhao army, the leader of the front army has already figured out clearly, the upstream of the Zhao army built an earthen dam to cut off the stream, the sinister purpose is obvious, the shield hand quickly formed a formation, the rear camp stepped forward, the pace was neat, and there was still no movement in the rear of the defense.

"General, most of the Zhao army has already fled."

"No, you can't compare the Chu people with Zhao, the Zhao people not only dare to fight, but also difficult." Wang Jianren stared at the first line of defense on the horse, and from a distance, the Zhao army built three lines of defense between the front and the earthen dam, after all, there were only three lines, and they would definitely not give up lightly.

"Up!"

A team of centaurs with shields in hand quickly rushed out, jumped down, flexible movements, quickly approached the defense below, the body down, everyone gathered quickly, the second team issued almost at the same time, with the downward momentum speed getting faster and faster, close to the front team jumped up directly, the soldiers below at the same time upward, close to a zhang high defense jumped directly, this move is also famous, "carp leaping dragon gate." ”

The first team of soldiers rushed up, the Zhao army still did not move, according to common sense, the timing of the counterattack at this time was just right, the number of people attacking the defense was limited and the foothold was also unstable, the purpose of the Zhao army to build the defense was to hold the earthen dam from being taken by Qin, in this case, why did the peripheral defense easily give the Qin army.

"Attacked."

Wang Jian didn't like it, but worried, Zhao Jun's way of playing was completely unsuitable, so it was worrying, especially the fire in the arrow tower array, until now it is still impossible to figure out why the fire burned so violently.

The defense was occupied by the Qin army, and the soldiers quickly pushed the soil above into the deep pit, and soon formed a passage after the soldiers trampled on it, Wang Jian urged the horse to climb to a high place, and could see clearly that there were still two deeper ditches in the rear.

"General, I'm afraid that the Zhao people are going to open the earthen dam directly after we enter?"

"No, it won't." Wang Jian shook his head, although the deep pit can store water quickly, but it has a limited effect, if Zhao Ren spent so much effort just for this little benefit, it would be too much to underestimate Zhao Ren's ambition.

The Qin army completely controlled the first line of defense, and the rear camp moved forward, Zhao Kuo stood on top of the earth city and looked at the opposite side, judging from the Qin army camp, there should be no less than 50,000, 30,000 against 50,000, it can be done with defense, of course, there is another point, if the Qin army can't see through it, it is equivalent to falling into death directly, in the second defense, the Zhao army shooters are ready, just waiting for the Qin army to approach again.

The loss of the first line of defense was completely calculated, the Qin army attacked again, and kept rushing straight to the second line of defense, the deep pit between the first line of defense and the second line was longer, and the most important thing was that the things hidden under the soil were still black oil oil, and the materials carried by the Zhao army were almost this kind of oil that could be ignited quickly except for arrows.

The soldier stepped on it, and the yellow dirt glowed black, and the strange smell entered everyone's nose again, "What a familiar smell." ”

Wang Jian frowned, where had he smelled this smell, and suddenly remembered the fire, yes, it was the fire, it was this strange smell that filled the air before the fire was ignited, and it was not possessed by the soil at all.

"Stop."

Under the order, the rear camp stopped one after another, and below was a deep ditch dug by the Zhao army, surrounded by high ground on all sides, as if it had become a carefully prepared burial place, once the army entered and suddenly caught fire, the difficulty of escaping was far more difficult than flat ground.

Approaching the second line of defense, the Qin army stopped, the shield was in hand, and some people couldn't help but look back, and for a while they couldn't figure out whether to attack or retreat, Wang Jian bent down, and the smell became stronger and stronger, and it was not wrong that it came from the soil under his feet.

"If you miss once, there will never be a second time, Zhao Kuo, your trick will not work at all in the eyes of this general."

There is fire oil all over the soil, Zhao Kuo has indeed moved his blood, and there is not much fire oil with the army, most of which is between the second and third defenses, and he doesn't want to be seen through by Wang Qian.

"Shoot!"

Hiding behind the defense, Zhao Jun could hear it clearly, the Qin army's offensive suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered the secret under his feet, and one after another figures suddenly jumped out, and the crossbow in his hand shot straight to the Qin army's camp in front.

The first team of Qin troops was close to 1,000 people, so they had to resist hard, and the arrows 61 crossbows were shot from different angles, and the shields were also difficult to stop under the dense rain of arrows, but nearly half of the casualties were killed and wounded in an instant.

"Set fire!"

"General?"

"Die for Qin, die as you deserve."

Wang Jian saw the doorway, and also knew that once the fire was set on fire, the hundreds of shield battalion soldiers below would definitely die, and if he wanted to completely defeat the Zhao army, it was worth the loss at all, the main general ordered, the people next to him stomped their feet, and some soldiers quickly lit the torch, and walked a few steps quickly to Wang Jian and bowed down and handed it over, Wang Jian took the torch and threw it high without any hesitation.

"Suffered!"

Hei Niu can see clearly, if he can rather throw a torch high and shoot it down, the fire oil array below should have been launched by himself, Wang Jian This method is to change from passive to active, break the Zhao army fire array, and the water array poses a limited threat to the deep pit.

The fire then rose, the entire pit ignited instantly, the heat wave rushed head-on, the Qin army camp retreated, the eyes were full of disbelief, the bare ground ignited a fire, the worst thing was the Qin army in the pit, there were sharp arrows in front, with the shield in his hand at least able to resist for a while, the fire suffered instantly, and there was nowhere to escape.
