Just when the Qin army and the Zhao army were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong with a few cavalrymen were stationed on a small hill about five or six kilometers away from the Zhao army's camp, looking down from the hill at the battle in front of the Zhao army's camp. In fact, from this small hill, the people on the battlefield are smaller than ants, and they can only see a large color block, black is the Qin army, red is the Zhao army, and the battle situation of the body can not be seen clearly, but at this time, it can also be imagined that at this time, in front of the Zhao army's camp, the battle must have been very fierce.

On the side of the mountain, there is a dense forest, in this wood, hidden the 5,000 cavalry of the Zhao army, including the 1,000 elite cavalry trained by Gao Yuan himself. After several days of fighting, Li Mu retreated the battle line of the Zhao army step by step, which was to deliberately show weakness to the Qin army, and to pride the heart of the Qin army, today is the time to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Qin army. Five thousand cavalry, led by Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong, lay in ambush on the outside of the battlefield, just waiting for Li Mu's order to attack the Qin army.

At this time, several other Zhao soldiers also had some helplessness, because since last night, they have been out of the Zhao army's camp, ambushed here, and it has been a night, and now the Qin army is attacking the Zhao army, and nearly two hours have passed, and they can't wait for the signal to attack, and everyone has some can't help it, some people are walking back and forth, stomping their feet, and even Li Yinghong's hands are constantly rubbing back and forth, showing that they are very anxious. He kept muttering, "Why hasn't it started yet?" "Could my father have forgotten?"

On the contrary, Gao Yuan can still maintain calm, because as a qualified agent, it is the most basic thing to stay calm in all circumstances. Therefore, he also comforted Li Yinghong and said: "Be patient, now is not the time." ”

But at this moment, someone suddenly said: "General Gao, eldest lady, look, there is wolf smoke." ”

When Li Yinghong heard this, he immediately jumped up, hurried over in three or two steps, and saw that in the camp of the Zhao army, there was indeed a dark gray wolf smoke, rising into the air, condensing in the air but not dispersing. Li Yinghong immediately shouted excitedly: "The wolf smoke is up, the wolf smoke is up, and you are ready to attack immediately." ”

At this time, Gao Yuan also came over and said, "Don't panic, there is only a wolf smoke." Before his words fell, he saw two more wolf smoke rising from Zhao Jun's camp, and three wolf smoke all went straight into the clouds.

Gao Yuan said: "One long and two short, this is the camp that let us attack the Qin army, okay, let's attack immediately." "It turned out that before leaving the camp, Li Mu had made an agreed signal with the plateau, and if the wolf smoke rose was one long and two short, it meant attacking the camp of the Qin army, and two long and one short was to return to the camp of the Zhao army.

Everyone immediately mounted their horses and descended the mountain, leading the 5,000 cavalry troops who were in ambush in the woods, bypassing the hill and killing in the direction of the Qin army's main camp.

The place where they ambushed was only five or six thousand meters away from the Qin army's camp, and it was an all-cavalry army, so it only took ten minutes for the plateau to lead the Zhao army to the Qin army's camp.

Although at this time, the Qin army was attacking the Zhao army's camp with all its might, but Huan Qi was a famous general who was proficient in the art of war, and of course he would not ignore the defense of the Qin army's camp, but because in the past few days, the Qin army's offensive was still relatively smooth on the whole, advancing layer by layer, and it had reached the front of the Zhao army's camp, and the Zhao army was blindly defending, and had not launched a counterattack at all, so Huan Qi was more or less relaxed in his heart.

In addition, Huan Qi was also a little anxious to capture the Zhao army's camp, and this time the Qin army was almost a pour-out attack, leaving only 20,000 people in the camp, of which more than 8,000 were wounded soldiers. Of course, in Huan Qi's view, now the Zhao army has no power to counterattack at all, and he has set up troops to garrison on all major transportation roads, and he is not afraid that the retreating Zhao army will suddenly kill back, so it is completely unnecessary to leave too many troops in the camp, it is better to concentrate the troops and attack the Zhao army's camp with all his might.

However, although the Qin army did not have many left-behind troops, and the mentality was relatively relaxed, but the normal vigilance and vigilance were still not let down, and the Zhao army was discovered by the Qin army's sentinels when it was still more than a thousand meters away from the Qin army's camp, so the Qin army's camp immediately blew the horn of battle, and at the same time, a Qin army came out of the camp to meet the Zhao army.

In the formation of the Zhao army, Gao Yuan also immediately ordered that the 1,000 new cavalry army formed by himself meet the Qin army, and the other 4,000 cavalry troops were temporarily suppressed.

After the order was handed down, Gao Yuan led a thousand cavalry troops to immediately distance themselves from the other Zhao troops, and quickly lined up in the shape of an arrow, advancing at full speed towards the attacking Qin army.

The Qin army that attacked this group was about 3,000 people, all of whom were infantry, and there were only four or five chariots, which were used by the main general who led the army, and the main general of the Qin army was called Yinghe, who was a member of the Qin family, and the purpose of their attack was of course not to defeat this Zhao army, but to delay the attack of the Zhao army, and buy time for the deployment of the Qin army's camp.

Now the Qin army has about 12,300 soldiers left behind in battle, which is not a small number, and the strength is still above the attacking Zhao army, but the Qin army's battalion is a large battalion that can accommodate about 150,000 troops, so the remaining troops should be scattered and guarded, which is obviously overstretched and completely insufficient. However, the Zhao army could concentrate its forces and attack only one point, and it was only a temporary camp, and the fortifications were not complete, so the Zhao army certainly had a big advantage.

And now the Qin army wants to transfer the soldiers guarding other places to resist the Zhao army, which takes a certain amount of time, so it can only dispatch a part of the troops first, and block the Zhao army first, so as to make time for the Qin army to deploy troops, so it sent Yinghe to lead 3,000 infantry to fight, which also shows that the remaining generals of the Qin army are not incompetent, but people who are proficient in the art of war and have the power to adapt.

In addition, in this era, the cavalry is still only a new branch of the army, and because the cavalry tactics and horse furniture are not mature, so the potential of the cavalry has not been fully developed, very few people use the cavalry for the frontal battlefield to charge and use, and the infantry is not afraid of the cavalry later, so Yinghe is also quite confident in this, thinking that the three thousand infantry can at least block the cavalry of the Zhao army for half an hour, so that the large battalion can also be arranged for defense.

And seeing that the Zhao army was divided into two parts, the front and rear, and the Zhao army that rushed to the front only had more than a thousand cavalry, and it was also an arrow-shaped formation, which also made Yinghe puzzled, what was the Zhao army planning to do, did he think that he could defeat his own 3,000 soldiers by relying on this thousand cavalry? Or they plan to use this thousand cavalry to contain themselves, so that other Zhao troops can attack the Qin army's camp, but the Zhao army is not afraid that after defeating this cavalry army, they will kill from behind the Zhao army.

But now there is no room to think too much, first eat the thousand cavalry. Therefore, Yinghe also immediately ordered, the Qin army spread out horizontally, lined up in a fan-shaped array, and Yinghe led the other four chariots, also lined up side by side, rushing to the forefront of the Qin army, facing the Zhao army.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was rapidly narrowing, and Gao Yuan rode his horse to the forefront of the Zhao army, while estimating the distance with the Qin army, he took off the crossbow from the back of the saddle and pulled it out, and held the flat end in his hand. Each knight wore two crossbows, and although the crossbows were not easy to pull, before the battle, each soldier had already pulled the strings of the crossbow apart, and the crossbow arrows were also good, and they could be used directly when they were taken. This is also a good addition to the crossbow. His Zhao cavalry also raised their crossbows or bows. The difference was that the cavalry in the front row held their crossbows flat, while the cavalry in the back rows used bows and arrows to point diagonally upward.

"Whoosh!"

A series of dense arrows broke through the air, and a dense rain of arrows came out of the ranks of Zhao Jun's cavalry, some arrows flew straight, some arrows flew diagonally into the sky, and then fell, but the ultimate goal was all directed at the Qin army without exception.

However, the Qin army was also prepared, and the soldiers in the front rows immediately raised their shields to protect themselves and their companions. However, the bows and arrows shot by the Zhao army were both flat and projectile, and the number of shields of the Qin army was also limited, so it was impossible to completely block them, so after the arrow rain fell, in the formation of the Qin army, a series of screams and screams immediately sounded, and dozens of Qin soldiers fell to the ground with arrows at once, and a chariot was hit by arrows by the horses pulling the cart, which caused a rollover.

Although at this time, in the rear of the Qin army's ranks, the archers also opened their bows and released arrows to return fire at the Zhao army, but the number of archers brought by the Qin army in this attack was not large, and the queue of the Zhao army was also relatively scattered, so there were only more than ten Zhao troops who were hit by arrows.

After the two crossbows brought by the Zhao army were shot, the distance between the two sides was further reduced, so the cavalry of the Zhao army also put down their crossbows, switched to bows and arrows, and continued to shoot at the Qin army.

As the two sides approached, each cavalry of the Zhao army could shoot at least four arrows, and some were so skilled that they could shoot six or seven arrows. As a result, the Qin army suffered at least more than one hundred and fifty casualties, while the Zhao army suffered less than thirty casualties.

At this time, the distance between the two sides had been narrowed to the range of close combat, and the speed of the war horse had reached the highest, Gao Yuan had already placed the bow and arrow, held the halberd flat with his right hand, and tightly clamped the halberd pole with his elbow, facing a Qin army's chariot close at hand. And Yinghe on the chariot also put down his shield, clasped Changge with both hands, and stabbed towards the plateau.

"Dang!"

The war horse and the chariot staggered, and the halberd in Gao Yuan's hand brought out a roar, and hit the winning Changge heavily.

Yinghe suddenly felt a huge force coming from Changge, Changge almost got out of his hand, and the whole person was so shocked that he was about to take a few steps back. But there was only a little more space on the chariot, so he stepped back and immediately crashed into his companion on the chariot.

During the Warring States period, a chariot was equipped with three armor soldiers, with Mite in the middle, who was responsible for driving the chariot and horses, and one on the left and one on the right of the chariot, who were responsible for fighting the enemies on both sides. Although Yinghe is the main general of the Qin army, there are also three people on his chariot, but the one who is generally located on the left side is respected, so Yinghe's position is on the left side of the chariot.

After this blow, he couldn't bear the strength to retreat to the right side, and happened to collide with the other two armorers of the chariot, and as a result, all three of them fell to the right side of the chariot. The chariot at high speed suddenly lost its balance, its left wheel hung in the air, and it immediately overturned to the right.
