Chapter 126: The Decisive Battle of Zhao Qin (5)

"After fighting this far, he can still hold on to this, Qin Jun is really too tenacious, and it is sure that it is not easy to deal with."

Li Mu stood on the chariot, looking at the battlefield in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and this battle had been fought for more than five hours, and the Zhao army had already rotated three groups of attacking soldiers, and the number of soldiers killed and wounded had exceeded 50,000, close to one-third of the total strength of the Zhao army. At this time, on the battlefield, the Zhao army had opened six or seven breakthroughs in the wall of the Qin army, and the Zhao army that entered the Qin army's wall was about three or four thousand people, but the Qin army was fully prepared in the village and laid several lines of defense to resist the attack of the Zhao army. The Zhao army still encountered the stubborn resistance of the Qin army, and it can be said that every time the Zhao army took a step forward, it had to pay a heavy substitute, and it was still far from defeating the Qin army and achieving the final victory.

At this point in the battle, any tactics and tactics have no effect, and now what is to be contested is the combat effectiveness, fighting will, and morale of the soldiers on both sides.

Although before the war, the morale of the Qin army was much lower than that of the Zhao army, but the Qin people Bi Jing was a martial nation, full of brave and aggressive character, and at this time when the Zhao army was fighting, the blood and courage in the bones of the Qin people were all stimulated, so in terms of fighting spirit and morale, the two sides were still half a catty and eight taels, on par.

Therefore, at this time, even Li Mu felt that this battle was no longer under his control, that is, whether it was victory or defeat, it was not under his control, and not only did he have no way to change the course of this battle, but he couldn't even say anything about ending this battle. Because now both sides have embarked on a road of no return, although they continue to fight, no one is sure of victory, but everyone knows in their hearts that if the first side stops fighting, the other side will definitely lose.

For a general with the title of a famous general in the world, this is of course a very painful thing, but in the face of such a situation, Li Mu has no way, the only thing he can do now is to replace the army that is now struggling to fight the Qin army on the battlefield with the first batch of Zhao troops that have undergone a short period of repair, so as to maintain the sharpness of the Zhao army and the pressure on the Qin army, and also hope that luck favors the side of the Zhao army.

At this moment, Gao Yuan said: "General, let me lead people to battle." ”

Li Mu was stunned, and also understood the intention of the plateau, in the case of a stalemate between the two sides, and the tactics and strategies could not play a role, he could only play the role of people, that is, to use a few people with outstanding personal martial arts skills to go into battle, take the lead in battle, and open the current stalemate, which is not a few selective tactics. This kind of tactic is also a very common thing on the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, and it can play a more important role if it is the side that takes the initiative to attack.

Gao Yuan's personal martial arts are definitely the top in the Zhao army, and among his subordinates, there are a group of young warriors from the Martial Arts Guild, although this group of people are all incorporated into the cavalry army by Gao Yuan, but their personal martial arts are absolutely outstanding in the Zhao army. After these months of fighting, Gao Yuan has made many military exploits, and his status in the Zhao army has soared extremely fast, plus he is now Li Mu's son-in-law, so the soldiers of the whole army have regarded Gao Yuan as Li Mu's successor without exception. If he personally led the team and attacked the Qin army, it would indeed greatly encourage the soldiers of the Zhao army. At present, there is basically no way to do it, but it is a feasible strategy.

But Li Mu also knew very well that it was a very dangerous thing to take the lead in the battle at this time, because in this kind of 100,000-man horse-level combat power, personal strength was too small. Even Li Mu did not dare to guarantee whether the safety of the plateau could be guaranteed. After all, Li Mu cultivated Gao Yuan as his successor, and didn't want him to have an accident at this time. And Li Mu is even more pale, the plateau is fighting, so Li Yinghong will never honestly stay in the back, and will definitely fight with the plateau. Therefore, Li Mu was indeed a little relieved.

At this time, Zhao Xuan took a step forward and said, "General, let me fight with them." ”

To be honest, this is exactly what Li Mu wants, he knows that although Gao Yuan's personal martial arts are relatively good, they are still within a normal range, and Zhao Xuan's martial arts are obviously beyond the normal range, with him in battle, Zhao Jun not only has a much greater chance of winning, but also the safety and security of Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong will be greater.

Zhao Xuan has followed Li Mu for more than ten years, and has always served as Li Mu's bodyguard, and although Li Mu knows that Zhao Xuan's martial arts skills are excellent, he is the best candidate to take the lead in the charge, but except for when Gao Yuan first came to this era, Li Mu asked Zhao Xuan to make a move, he did not let Zhao Xuan fight in any battle, and the time when Gao Yuan shot was also a special situation.

On the one hand, because of the special relationship between Zhao Xuan and Li Mu, strictly speaking, he is not Li Mu's subordinate, but he was entrusted by Li Mu's teacher to follow Li Mu and protect Li Mu. But this time, only Zhao Xuan made a move, which could reassure Li Mu.

And Zhao Xuan obviously understood Li Mu's psychology, so he took the initiative to ask for battle, of course, it was in Li Mu's arms, so Li Mu also immediately said: "Okay, Zhao Xuan, I'll bother you this time." ”

Zhao Xuan saluted Li Mu and said to Gao Yuan: "Let's go, I only pay the responsibility to charge into battle, but what to do, just listen to your orders." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded, and immediately came to his own subordinates with Zhao Xuan, and immediately recruited Zhong Sun Qi, Wu Zhanpeng and others to explain his plan. Because this time the battle was all infantry, and only the cavalry trained on the plateau did not move, so although their group of people was itching to see it, they could only wait. Now that I heard that Gao Yuan was going to fight, and he was also taking on an important task, he was also very excited, and immediately packed up his armor and weapons and went out with Gao Yuan. And Li Yinghong, of course, joined the ranks of the battle without any suspense.

Although the Zhao army has now broken through seven or eight gaps in the wall, the offensive breakthrough chosen by the plateau is still the gate of Dazhai. Because only by opening the gap from the gate can a heavy blow be dealt to the Qin army. Of course, Gao Yuan also knew that the Qin army had the tightest defense of the gate, but now that Zhao Xuan was in battle, Gao Yuan also thought that he was still very sure.

Although there are less than thirty of them, their strength should not be underestimated. Gao Yuan also made some arrangements for everyone, all the personnel lined up in a triangular queue, Zhao Xuan was naturally the arrow that could not be stopped, and Zhong Sun Qi and Wu Zhanpeng supported and protected Zhao Xuan on one left and one right, so that Zhao Xuan could move forward with all his strength, so he equipped the two with a shield.

And Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan are responsible for protecting Zhong Sun Qi and Wu Zhanpeng's flanks, although both of them are women, but in terms of personal combat effectiveness, they are by no means inferior to Zhong Sun Qi and Wu Zhanpeng, but they are limited by the fact that their congenital physique is weaker than that of men, so they are slightly deficient in explosiveness and staying power. But this task, the two of them are absolutely qualified.

In fact, Gao Yuan's personal battle is definitely above Zhong Sun Qi, Wu Zhanpeng, Li Yinghong, and Wu Hongya, but he has to pay the responsibility to command the whole team to fight, so he can only command in the center, and the battle is not his main responsibility, of course, when necessary, Gao Yuan can also replace Li Mu and serve as an arrow. The others were divided into two parts, each armed with guns, swords, bows, crossbows, javelins and other weapons, which were located on the left and right, and then covered and assisted the six-man arrows in front. Behind their squad were three thousand highland-trained infantrymen.

After the arrangement was completed, Gao Yuan immediately led the team to enter from the gate of the Qin army's Dazhai, replacing the Zhao army, which had been fighting fiercely with the Qin army for an hour and a half, and launched a fierce attack on the Qin army.

Although the Qin army never recaptured the city gate and drove the Zhao army out of Dazhai, the Qin army arranged three lines of defense behind the gate with horses and chariots, which still firmly blocked the Zhao army's attack. At this time, the Zhao army was engaged in a fierce battle with the Qin army on the first line of defense of the Qin army.

When the Zhao army rotated soldiers, it gave the Qin army a short respite, so that the Qin army could have a very short time to arrange the defense line and reoccupy some important places that were originally occupied by the Zhao army.

However, in this short period of time, the Qin army could not calmly arrange its own defense, and the new batch of attacking troops of the Zhao army had already been killed.

Zhao Xuan took the lead, the spear in his hand turned into thousands of gun shadows, and swept towards the Qin army, almost in the blink of an eye, more than ten Qin soldiers were knocked down by Zhao Xuan, and several Qin soldiers were even knocked backwards and hit several Qin soldiers behind.

Soon the assault team was in front of the first line of defense of the Qin army, which was a defense line composed of horses, about ten meters away from the gate and about fifteen meters wide, in the shape of a "冂", firmly sealing the gate and blocking the advance of the Zhao army.

The horses are all composed of logs with the thickness of the bowl, with a triangular cross-section, and at the outer end is a row of sharpened logs, pointing diagonally at the Zhao army, and the Qin army can hide behind the square horses and attack the Zhao army with spears and bows and arrows. The two sides fought fiercely for more than five hours, and the Zhao army could not break through this line of defense, in front of the horse, dense layers, lying full of the corpses of Zhao Qin soldiers, and several corpses of Zhao soldiers, which were pierced by the spikes of the horse and hung on the horse.

Zhao Xuan held the gun in both hands, rushed to the front of the horse, the spear was inserted diagonally into the ground, and then suddenly roared, and with both arms together, he actually picked up the horse from the ground more than two zhang high, flew back diagonally out of a distance of two or three zhang, rolled and fell in the air, and the spikes of the horse stabbed five or six Qin soldiers to death.

Qin Jun didn't expect that Zhao Xuan would be so brave that he could pick up the horse with the strength of one person, and he was stunned for a while.
