The rapid defeat of the Qin army on the left and right was indeed a great surprise to Wang Jian, he really didn't expect that the Qin army would be so vulnerable. Despite the many unfavorable conditions, Wang Jian estimated that with the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, it could hold out for at least two hours or so, and during this time, the Qin army could completely move the materials of the left and right villages, and consume the sharp spirit of the Zhao army, which was also conducive to holding the middle village later.

But Wang Jian didn't expect that the two Dazhai would be captured by the Zhao army in less than an hour. Of course, Wang Jian also understood that the reason for the rapid defeat of the Qin army was because the morale was not high and the army had no fighting spirit, so that the Qin army had no intention of fighting with the Zhao army, and the result was a battle and collapsed, so it was necessary to improve the morale of the whole army and stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, otherwise, the defense of Zhongzhai would not be better than the left and right villages.

So Wang Jian also immediately ordered to close the gate of Zhongzhai, prohibit the Qin soldiers from the left and right villages from entering the village, and personally went up to the wall to reprimand the Qin army in the battle just now.

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State has implemented the system of rewarding and encouraging farming and warfare, but ordinary people want to advance to the upper class society, mainly relying on military merits, rather than farming, so the Qin soldiers are very brave on the battlefield, in order to win merit, and Qin's foreign wars are also more victories and fewer losses, and the war achievements are impressive.

Qin has always had a strong people's style, the people are still martial, and now the state system as a guarantee, many people are established military merits to obtain official positions, so as to get ahead, steady progress, so the status of the military in the civil society is very high, the vast majority of young and middle-aged people are proud to join the army, every time the Qin army goes to war, there will be a large number of people who take the initiative to sign up, over time, the soldiers of the Qin army are the strongest army in the world, and they simply look down on the armies of the six countries in the East.

It was not until King Wuling of Zhao carried out the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery in Zhao that the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army was greatly increased, and it could confront the Qin army. Therefore, Wang Jian's words really hit the vital point of the Qin soldiers, and greatly dealt a blow to the proud mentality of the Qin army, and many soldiers felt very ashamed at this time.

At this time, Wang Jian said again: "Now you have two choices, one is to kill back immediately, fight to the death with the Zhao army, and prove to the Zhao army that you are still the warriors of Daqin and the strongest army in the world, not cowardice, and I will be in front of the gate of the village and beat the drum to help you fight; The second is to leave the battlefield now, no matter how far you run, my Wang Jian's subordinates must not be cowards. Take your pick. ”

After Wang Jian finished speaking, he saw a general take off his helmet and throw it to the ground, saying: "Lao Tzu is a dignified Qin warrior, not a coward, Lao Tzu will kill him back immediately, fight to the death with Zhao Jun, and let Zhao Jun know that Lao Xiao is not afraid of them." ”

Saying that, he turned around and said, "It's a man, just follow Lao Tzu and go to fight to the death with Zhao Jun, it's not a man, just get out of the way and cool down, don't get in the way here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, many Qin soldiers also pulled down their helmets and threw them to the ground, and said one after another: "Go, go, fight with Zhao Jun, let Zhao Jun know how powerful we are." ”

After a while, all the Qin troops outside the village were inspired to fight and fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army, although a few people were still a little hesitant, but they were coerced by everyone, even if they wanted to withdraw, they were embarrassed, so they had to follow the crowd. In addition, according to the decree of the Qin State, the whole family sits together, so escaping is actually a dead end, it is better to fight to the death with the Qin army, and if you win, you can be rewarded for meritorious service, and if you lose, you will not affect your family. Even if he dies in battle, he can get a pension from the state to ensure the livelihood of his family.

So all the Qin troops turned back, clenched the weapons in their hands, and launched a counterattack against the Zhao army.

Seeing that all the Qin troops were killed, Wang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the Qin army is still the Qin army, and it is still martial and warlike in its bones, as long as it arouses their blood, it is still an army that should not be underestimated, if it is replaced by the armies of other countries, Wang Jian's move will not work.

Li Xin said on the side: "General, is this a good job?" If they kill them like this, they can only die in vain, and it is impossible to defeat the Zhao army. ”

Wang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I know that it is impossible for them to defeat the Zhao army, but I can only do this, if I put them into Dazhai, we will not be able to resist the attack of the Zhao army at all, only in this way, there is hope of holding Dazhai, you look back, now the soldiers' mood, is it very different from just now." ”

In fact, Wang Jian's words just now not only aroused the fighting spirit of the Qin army outside the village, but also a great encouragement to the Qin army inside the village, and now every Qin soldier's face showed an expression of longing for a battle, Li Xin of course knew that such an expression had rarely been seen in recent times. Therefore, Li Xin also has to admit that Wang Jian's approach is indeed the only feasible method at present.

At this time, Wang Jian said again: "Give the order to go down, open the gate of the village, line up out of the village, and beat the drums to cheer." ”

"Knock-knock-knock-knock-"

As the drums in the Qin army's array sounded, the Qin army that came back to kill was even more full of fighting spirit, and everyone shouted "kill-kill-" and strode towards the Zhao army.

However, at this time, the Zhao army had just captured the two villages on the left and right of the Qin army, and was reorganizing the army in the two villages, and was not in a hurry to launch an attack on the middle village of the Qin army, after all, the first two battles were indeed too easy, and the time was so fast that Li Mu greatly surprised him, so he was not in a hurry to attack the Qin army's middle village immediately, and waited until he was fully prepared.

Zhao Jun was full of ambition at this time, and he really didn't expect that the Qin army would take the initiative to counterattack him, because Zhao Jun didn't know about Wang Jian's help to the Qin army just now. But the Qin army went out to fight, and it was in the hands of the Zhao army, after all, it was better than the Qin army staying in the camp.

So the first to attack and fight against the Qin army was the 40,000 army led by Sima Shang, because this army was originally the Qin army that was responsible for containing Zhongzhai, and of course they were the first to meet the Qin army. However, many Zhao soldiers were full of optimism in their hearts, thinking that this time they would be able to easily defeat the Qin army's counterattack. After all, it was indeed too easy to win the two battles just now, and this Qin army's chaotic array without formation was completely like a rabble, so it was too easy to defeat such a Qin army.

At this time, the soldiers of the Zhao army in the left and right villages almost all thought the same, so they also talked and laughed, saying that Sima Shang's luck was too good, and this time it was his turn to make meritorious contributions.

In the entire Zhao army, only Li Mu could still keep a cool head, and from the abnormal reaction of the Qin army, he found that the situation was not right, so he immediately called Gao Yuan and said: "Gao Yuan, I see that Sima Shang is definitely not the opponent of this Qin army this time, you are ready to fight immediately." ”

After Sima Shang's troops came to the camp in Jingcheng, all the soldiers under Gao Yuan were finally gathered, but his troops were only suitable for field battles, not for attacking fortified positions, so they did not appear in the two battles just now. Of course, now Gao Yuan and other generals think about the same, and they also think that the Zhao army has won this battle, and does not take the Qin army to heart, after listening to Li Mu's words, Gao Yuan was not stunned, and said: "The current Qin army has no fighting spirit, so what strength is there to fight against our Zhao army, how can General Sima lose to the Qin army?" The general is worried too much. ”

Li Mu said lightly: "Gao Yuan, if you start to despise the enemy now, then you will never be able to become a famous general who has surpassed me, remember, this battle is not over yet, as the commander of an army, if you think that victory is in sight, it is a very dangerous thing." And in this case, the Qin army will still take the initiative to fight, do you think Wang Jian will be stupid to this point. ”

Gao Yuan's heart was cold, Li Mu would never say this for no reason, so he carefully observed the Qin army, at this time, the two sides were less than fifty meters apart, and the soldiers in the front row had already begun to run opposite each other.

However, at this time, Gao Yuan had already seen the clue, because he saw that most of the soldiers of the Qin army were not wearing helmets, which was by no means an ordinary signal, so he quickly felt that the atmosphere of the Qin army was completely different from the two battles just now.

Therefore, Gao Yuan immediately became vigilant, and immediately said: "General, I understand, you can rest assured, I will immediately raise the army to fight, and I will never underestimate the enemy." With that, he immediately turned around and left Li Mu and came to his army.

Li Yinghong greeted him and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter with your father?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "The whole army is assembled, the infantry army is arrayed outside the village, ready to meet the Qin army, and the cavalry army is then waiting for the battle, waiting for the order to attack." "Because this battle is a battle between the two sides, it is not suitable to use the cavalry to attack head-on, and it is the most reasonable choice to let the infantry in the formation of mandarin ducks and the Qin army fight head-on. The cavalry just waited for the opportunity and rounded up from both sides.

At this time, the soldiers under the plateau watched the other Zhao troops break through the two villages of the Qin army in a row, and they were also a little itchy, Bi Jing was in the previous stage, they were all singing the leading role, so after the plateau gave the order, everyone was immediately excited, and immediately put the team together, and followed the plateau to kill the camp.

After Li Mu watched Gao Yuan leave, he also nodded slightly, although Gao Yuan was also a little carried away just now, but after Bai Ji reminded him, he immediately returned to his normal state of mind, which also made Li Mu very satisfied, after all, it is reasonable for Gao Yuan to be so young and sometimes careless, but it is also very rare for him to immediately realize his mistakes and adjust his attitude in a very timely manner.
