After crashing into the two Qin soldiers in front of him, Gao Yuan only felt that his eyes lit up, and then he realized that he had penetrated the queue of the Qin army, and when he looked back, he saw Li Yinghong and the other Zhao soldiers also killed out of the gap one by one.

At this time, the two sides of the battle were very wide, but the vertical was not deep, and the two sides added up to only more than 100 meters, so Gao Yuan and others broke through successfully, and Yuan Xuan, who commanded in front of the battle, also saw it very clearly. Of course, he knew that breaking through the array of the Qin army, even if it was just a small gap, but the impact on the entire battle situation was very important. Therefore, Yuan Xuan also immediately ordered the Zhao army troops closest to the gap to immediately increase their reinforcements, not only to keep the breakthrough gap and expand it as much as possible, while the other men and horses from all walks of life launched an attack on the Qin army with all their might, and at the same time immediately sent people to report the battle situation to Li Mu, ask for help and additional troops to support, and strive to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop.

Li Mu's high platform was far away from the battlefield, so he couldn't see it very clearly, and he could only see that at this time, there was already a Zhao army rushing into the array of the Qin army, and it seemed that it had broken through the array of the Qin army, but he didn't know which Zhao army it was. After getting Yuan Xuan's report, I learned that it was Gao Yuan and the men led by Li Yinghong. And Li Mu's face also showed a hint of a smile, of course he knew that the Qin army's array was penetrated, which meant that the Zhao army was not far from victory in this battle.

And Zhao Xuan, who was beside Li Mu, also nodded and said, "Gao Yuan has done a good job, I didn't expect him to dare to line up the soldiers in an arrow-shaped array to charge." ”

Li Mudao: "Being able to keenly grasp the weaknesses of the other party, and using troops to arrange formations without sticking to common sense, he does have the ability to become a famous general, I see that at this time, Huan Qi should withdraw the army." ”

Sure enough, just as Li Mu finished speaking, the horn sounded in the main formation of the Qin army, which was the signal for the Qin army to retreat.

Huan Qi is also a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles and is proficient in the art of war, of course, he knows that now the array of the Qin army has been pierced by the Zhao army, which means that the defeat of the Qin army has been decided, if it is against the armies of other countries, the Qin army may still be able to rely on its own courage and good fighting to save the defeat, but in the face of the Zhao army whose combat effectiveness is not under itself, it will be difficult for the Qin army to reverse the defeat. Even if there is no Li Mu to command, it is the same.

In addition, Huan Qi did not feel that such a result was unfavorable to the Qin army, because the Qin army had basically filled in the trenches of the first line of defense of the Zhao army, and most of the fortifications established by the Zhao army in the first line of defense had also been destroyed, and the chariot bunkers of the Qin army had also advanced to a distance of about 100 meters from the first line of defense of the Zhao army, so even if this battle was lost, the Qin army still achieved a lot of results, and on the whole, the Qin army still occupied a considerable advantage. However, the Zhao army still left a considerable number of troops in the Panyu camp, and the Zhao army is not a vulnerable army, so it is of course unrealistic to defeat the Zhao army at once and seize the Panwu camp. Huan Qi also knew that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you can't be greedy for merit, so Huan Qi also immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

With the horn of the withdrawal of the Qin army in the large array, the Qin army also began to retreat, but although the Qin army was defeated and retreated, it was retreating but not chaotic, orderly, covering each other, and responding sideways, all the armies retreated in turn, and in the chariot bunkers of the Qin army, there were also Qin army's crossbowmen and crossbowmen who fired a volley of arrows to protect the retreating army, so it also made the Zhao army have no chance to take advantage of it. However, the Qin army only retreated to the back of the chariot bunker, not far from the Zhao army, still maintaining pressure on the Zhao army's defensive line, and did not allow the Zhao army to calmly rebuild its position.

And such a result was also expected by Li Mu a long time ago, so he also did not rush forward with greed, and also ordered the Zhao army to stop the pursuit, just drive the Qin army out of the first line of defense of the Zhao army. The Zhao army took advantage of the broken fortifications in the position to garrison it.

In this way, although the two sides ceased fighting, they were only separated by a distance of more than 150 meters.

Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong led the pro-guards back to the camp of the Zhao army, and at this time, there were only more than 140 people left in the 200 pro-guards, and nearly 60 of them were with injuries ranging from severity to severity. But all of them were dancing with their eyebrows and their spirits were flying, because in this battle, the cousins of these 200 pro-guards played a role in Guan Jian and made great contributions.

And Li Yinghong was even more excited, because this was her first official appearance, not only killed, but also made a great achievement, so the excitement in her heart was also beyond words.

When they walked to the camp gate, Li Mu stood at the camp gate and waited to meet them. Li Yinghong immediately cheered, threw himself in front of Li Mu, and said, "Father." ”

Li Mu grabbed her hand, then looked up and down, and said, "Yinghong, are you injured?" ”

Li Yinghong smiled: "Father, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

At this time, Gao Yuan also came to Li Mu and said, "General." ”

Li Mu smiled, patted Gao Yuan's shoulder, and said, "Gao Yuan, you look very good." You have made the first contribution in this battle. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Thank you for the general's compliment." ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "Take a good rest, there will be more fierce battles waiting for you in the future." ”

―――――――― the dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― the next day, the Qin army launched another attack on the Zhao army's defensive line.

Because the Qin army's battle line had approached the edge of the Zhao army's first line of defense on the first day, and most of the fortifications in the Zhao army's defense line had been destroyed, and the Zhao army was deliberately retreating, the Qin army also captured the first line of defense of the Zhao army very smoothly, and the Zhao army retreated to the second line of defense.

The occupation of the first line of defense of the Zhao army also made Huan Qi very satisfied, believing that the battle situation was under his control, so the Qin army launched an attack on the second line of defense of the Zhao army after a little repair.

The two sides launched a fierce battle in the second line of defense of the Zhao army, the two sides pulled back and forth on the position, repeatedly contended, a total of three days of fierce fighting, the second line of defense of the Zhao army was also declared lost, all the men and horses retreated to the camp, this is also the last line of defense of the Zhao army, as long as it can break through this line of defense again, the Qin army will be able to occupy Fanwu, and Yang Duan and the department of the southern line, form a flanking attack on Handan.

However, after four or five days of fierce fighting, the Qin army also paid a lot of price, with more than 10,000 soldiers killed in battle, and nearly 4,000 others were wounded and lost their combat effectiveness. The number of dead in the Zhao army also reached more than 5,000, and the number of wounded was more than 3,000, but nearly half of the casualties of the Zhao army were new soldiers, and the casualties of the elite army were only three or four thousand, so it had no impact on the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army.

Because the Qin army was the attacking party, the casualties of the Qin army were far more than those of the Zhao army. However, now the Qin army still has an absolute advantage in total strength, and after breaking through the two lines of defense of the Zhao army, the morale of the whole Qin army is also very high. So Huan Ma also decided to take advantage of the victory and launched an attack on the camp of the Zhao army.

However, the camp of the Zhao army is also the strongest fortifications built, the most tightly defended defense line, and it is the last line of defense of the Zhao army, the Zhao army's resistance is of course much stronger than the first two lines of defense, so the Qin army's offensive has also been greatly hindered, in the first day of the battle, the Qin army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, but it did not cause much danger to the Zhao army's defense line.

But at this time, Huan Ma was still full of confidence in victory, in his opinion, although the resistance of the Zhao army was very tenacious, but there was no cause for concern, because now the Zhao army had reached the verge of defeat, and it was supported by the last breath, as long as the Qin army could attack the camp of the Zhao army, then the Zhao army's breath would be completely defeated, and the Qin army would be able to achieve the final victory. Therefore, Huan Yu also promised a reward to the soldiers of the Qin army in the camp: the first Qin soldier to enter the camp of the Zhao army will be rewarded with 100 gold and the title will be promoted to the third level.

In the Warring States Period, it was the implementation of gold and copper coins as currency, one Yi gold is twenty-four taels (each two is about 16 to 17 grams), one hundred Yi gold is two thousand four hundred taels, or one hundred and fifty catties of gold, and one pound of gold is worth about one 10,000 Qin copper coins, so this 100 Yi gold is a lot of money for ordinary Qin soldiers and even the middle and lower Qin army generals. The Qin State is the implementation of the military merit reward system, a total of 20 levels of titles, slaves behead the enemy, can get rid of the slave status, and ordinary non-jazz soldiers behead the enemy, you can be promoted to the first level, as long as the number of enemies killed, you can squeeze into the elite class, this is also the only way for the ordinary people of the Qin State to promote the magnates, so the Qin army is often very brave in battle, and it is thanks to this military merit reward system. And moving up to Level 3 is a great attraction for everyone.

So on the very next day, the soldiers of the Qin army, under the fierce reward, once again launched a tidal attack on the camp of the Zhao army.

But the Qin army's combat bravery, the Zhao army is also not bad, because now the soldiers of the Zhao army also know that the camp is their last line of defense, once attacked by the Qin army, the Fanwu camp will be lost, and at this time Li Mu is in command in the camp, and it is also the backbone of the whole army, as long as Li Mu is present, the soldiers of the Zhao army feel that they have the bottom, and they do not think that they will lose, and when they fight with the Qin army, they also have enough confidence, so under the command of Li Mu, the Zhao army relies on the fortifications of the camp to resist the attack of the Qin army, Not an inch.

Zhao Jun's tenacity is beyond ordinary resistance, and it is indeed a little unexpected by Huan Xiao, I can't imagine that at this time, Zhao Jun can still have such a tenacious fighting spirit? The battle situation seems to be a little out of his own expectations, but the battle has reached this point, and it is impossible for Huan Ma to change his tactics, so he can only grit his teeth and persist and go all out to break through the camp of the Zhao army. And now the morale of the Qin army is also no worse than that of the Zhao army, so the victory or defeat may not be known. So Huan Qi also continued to urge the Qin army and struggled to attack the Zhao army's camp.

Li Mu sat in the camp, commanding the Zhao army to resist the attack of the Qin army, and constantly looking into the distance. Suddenly turned his head and said, "The time has come, light the wolf smoke." ”
