Zhao Kuo led his troops to rush over, and at the last moment, saved the precarious Zhao Zhuang army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The super quality of Sergeant Zhao was vividly reflected in this battle. Although they have been in danger, despite the heavy casualties, the Zhao army did not appear a single deserter, and all of them fought to the end.

I have to say that this is a great miracle of the Warring States period.

After Zhao Kuo arrived, he commanded in the center and regathered the scattered Zhao Zhuang army together. Coupled with the addition of Zhao Kuo's 150,000 fresh troops, it caused a lot of pressure on the Qin army.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Bai Qi immediately made a decision and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Zhao Kuo didn't dwell too much, and after converging with Zhao Zhuang's army, he retreated to the old pass.

This great battle, with twists and turns, fought for a whole day, more than 100,000 soldiers were killed on both sides, and the Changping Valley completely became a dead land, and the blood soaked the earth, and it was no longer possible to grow crops.

As far as the eye can see, the plains, hills, and river valleys are full of the corpses of fallen soldiers, including the black Qin army and the red Zhao army. The Xiaodongcang River is completely dyed red, and the rolling river water is like a rushing blood wave.

After the war, the Qin army arranged for people to collect the corpses, bury them on the spot, collect usable weapons and armor, find the lost war horses, and a series of post-war disposal work.

The sky of Changping, still gloomy and terrifying, indicates that the war is far from over.

As evening came, the sky began to rain lightly. Gradually, the rain became heavier and heavier, turning into a torrential rain that swept across the entire Changping area.

The abundant rain washed away the blood stains on the battlefield, and the rain turned blood red, converging on the Dan River, and dyeing the Dan River bright red. The bright red river makes the best annotation for this battle.

After the rainstorm, the earth comes back to life as if nothing had happened.

In this battle, the Zhao army successfully got rid of the cage set by the Qin army, and although there were heavy casualties, it finally won a game.

The Qin army was more depressed, not only let the enemy get out of trouble, but also the general Wang Ling was killed in battle, and the army of Wang Ling was completely annihilated, which is not a thing to be optimistic about.

According to the campaign setting, a historical figure like Wang Ling, who is not the head of the faction, died, and after the battle ended, there was no chance to appear in the wilderness, and it became a thing of the past.

The Wolf Mountain Shogunate, Wu Anjun's pale face was gloomy and terrifying.

The generals sat solemnly on two rows of six rows of stone piers, with solemn expressions. Ouyang Shuo, as a representative of the aliens, was invited to attend the military meeting, and sat silently in the corner without saying a word.

According to the statistics of Sima in the army, in addition to the destruction of Wang Ling's army, the Huan Yu army lost more than 10,000 yuan, Wang Yu's army lost more than 50,000, and Meng's army lost more than 30,000. The Qin army suffered a staggering nearly 150,000 casualties.

In terms of the Inhuman Legion, Ouyang Shuo has also made clear statistics. Of the 7,000 infantry troops led by Chen Tang, less than 4,000 were successfully evacuated from the battlefield.

Of the 24,000 main cavalry on the expedition, there were less than 20,000. The 10,000 cavalry of Shanhai County, who undertook the main attack mission, also suffered heavy casualties, directly losing nearly 2,000 people, which made Ouyang Shuo extremely sad.

In the Battle of Changping, Ouyang Shuo brought 10,000 cavalry, but more than half of the family in Shanhai County, lost one-fifth of the battle on the first day, how not to make him heartbroken.

"The defeat in this battle was defeated by the 40,000 Inhuman Legion that suddenly rushed out of the Zhao Army's hometown. Yesterday, Yiren said that Wuyi had already reported to the old man, and it was because I didn't pay enough attention to it that led to today's defeat. ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Qi did not blame the generals, but conducted self-examination.

Wang Yi and the others suddenly focused their eyes on Ouyang Shuo, who was sitting in the corner. Among the generals, Huan Yu's eyes are the most friendly, and he has seen the strength of the Inhuman Legion.

Being watched by these leading generals, Ouyang Shuo's heart trembled, and he got up and said: "Qi Wu Anjun, the alien army of the Zhao Kingdom has come to the old pass, this is the will of heaven, and it can be reversed by non-human beings." In just one day, Zhao Jun made such a move, and how to guard against it was useless. ”

"yes!" The generals chimed in.

Ouyang Shuo did not excuse Bai Qi, because there was nothing wrong with Bai Qi's arrangement, and his on-the-spot command today was even more superb, and he reversed the unfavorable situation of the Qin army with his own strength.

According to post-war statistics, Zhaozhuang's army was annihilated by more than 50,000 people in a short period of time, an extremely alarming number, almost the same as the annihilated Wang Ling army.

"Wu Anjun, Zhao Jun is out of trouble, what should he do next?" Zuo Shu Chang Wang Ji asked.

Bai Qi stared at the map of "Shangdang Mountains and Rivers" and was silent for a long time.

The Qin army had a military discussion, and it ended in nothing. With the ability to rise in vain, it is impossible to formulate any amazing military plans in a short period of time, so they can only slowly figure it out.

After Ouyang Shuo went down the mountain, the general discussed the matter and reported it to the allies, and everyone was speechless.

That being the case, Ouyang Shuo immediately left his frustration and conducted an in-depth deduction on the battle situation in front of him. It wasn't until late at night, when the night was like ink, that he left Ouyang Shuo's tent.

What the two talked about in secret, outsiders have no way of knowing.

************

After rushing to the old pass, in addition to the 70,000 defenders left behind in the old pass, the main force of the Zhao army still had more than 300,000.

Compared with the Qin army, the Zhao army suffered a greater loss in this battle, close to 170,000. Zhao Zhuang alone lost more than 100,000 yuan, plus the siege of Wang Ling's camp, the Zhao army also paid a heavy price.

Therefore, Guan simply could not accommodate such a large army.

In desperation, Zhao Kuo first arranged for a general to lead an army of 50,000 to occupy the camp of Wangling, and then arranged for Zhao Zhuang to garrison 150,000 troops at the foot of the old pass, and the remaining 100,000 troops were stationed in the old pass.

Zhao Kuo moved the shogunate to the old pass, and after settling down briefly, the first thing he did was to open up the passage between the Baili Stone Great Wall and Handan, so that Handan could continuously transport grain and grass to the old pass.

Therefore, the grain and grass hoarded in Guan can only sustain the consumption of the army for a month.

Compared with Zhao Kuo, Bai Qi's response was faster and more decisive.

When Zhao Kuo arranged for 100,000 troops to go out of the pass and prepare to annihilate the Yingbao army in the north, Yingbao had already received a military order from Wu Anjun Baiqi, and led his troops to evacuate Changping Pass first, and took the initiative to give up the caliber of the pot.

Bai Qi knew very well that the main force of the Zhao army retreated to the old pass, and with less than 40,000 troops of Yingbao, it would not be able to hold the caliber of the pot. Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to withdraw troops and reduce unnecessary casualties.

At this point, the armies of Qin and Zhao seem to have returned to the scene of the three-year confrontation between Wang Yi and Lian Po.

In fact, neither Zhao Kuo nor Bai Qi would make such a plan. After three years of confrontation, whether it was Qin or Zhao, the burden of war on the country was almost beyond the limit of what it could bear.

Countless grains and grasses were recruited to the battlefield, civilians several times the size of the army were conscripted and served, day and night to transport grain and grass for the army, countless young and middle-aged people were sent to the battlefield, and the country's economy was on the verge of collapse.

Especially for the Qin State, the lone expedition created an extra-long grain and grass transportation route, and every grain transported to the battlefield had to consume four or five grains on the way.

If the confrontation continues like this, even if it is as strong as the Qin State, it will not be able to support it, and the national strength accumulated over the years will be dragged down by this battle.

Fighting recklessly is a taboo for the country.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on an expedition against the Xiongnu and exhausted the family wealth accumulated by Wenjingzhizhi. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo, exhausting the national strength accumulated during the period of Emperor Wen, which eventually led to the collapse of the dynasty.

Therefore, the emperor's dust camp.

"Now that the first step has been successfully implemented, is it time to start the second step?" Xiongba asked.

Di Chen nodded and said, "When the military discussion is in the evening, I will go to Zhao Kuo to make suggestions." ”

"Good!"

"Do you think Zhao Kuo will agree to our plan?"

"How could it not, today's big victory, isn't it enough to explain the problem?!"

"Wolf Warrior, what do you think?"

In a big battle during the day, the Wolf Warrior led the Inhuman Legion to destroy the army of Wang Ling, and even took the head of Wang Ling, ranking second on the battle contribution list, second only to Ouyang Shuo.

The reason why Ouyang Shuo was able to suppress the wolf was because of the killing of 10,000 cavalry in Shanhai County. Otherwise, it is very likely to be surpassed by the wolf warrior.

Therefore, the prestige of the wolf warrior in the Yanhuang League is increasing day by day.

The wolf warrior smiled faintly and said, "In my opinion, even if we don't mention it, Zhao Kuo probably has already had this intention." ”

"How so?"

"Don't underestimate Zhao Kuo, in history, under the siege of the Qin army, Zhao Kuo was able to defend for forty-six days without food, and the army did not rebel, how easy is it. After the light troops advance, Zhao Kuo will definitely learn the lessons of the battlefield and find another way to break the Qin army. With his temperament, it is impossible for him to stick to it like Lian Po. Wolf Warrior analyzed.

"Wonderful!" The allies couldn't help but applaud Wolf Warrior's analysis.

"In this way, in the battle of Changping, we already have a sixty percent chance of winning." Di Chen said with relief.

************

Ten days have passed, and the news that the Zhao army successfully broke through and killed the general of the Qin army, Wang Ling, has spread all over the princes and countries, making all countries amazed and the world shaken!

Previously, when the main army of more than 400,000 people of Zhao State was trapped in the mountains of the Changping River Valley by more than 500,000 Qin troops, Zhao State had sent envoys to ask for help, but the five countries of Shandong did not dare to bet casually because they could not see the battlefield situation clearly, and they all looked left and right to talk about him, plus the envoys of Qin State sniped everywhere, and finally let Zhao State gain nothing.

Now, the Zhao army has successfully extricated itself from the predicament and killed the general of the Qin army, which has undoubtedly injected a dose of strength into the five countries of Shandong, and the war situation has gradually become clear.

The idea of Qin State capturing Shangdang also seems to be getting farther and farther away.

The countries of Shandong have been afraid of Qin for a long time. At this time, Zhao sent an envoy headed by Prime Minister Lin Xiangru to attack again and lobby the five states of Shandong, asking them to send troops to jointly attack Qin.

This time, the attitude of various countries is a little subtle, and they have reorganized their troops and horses.

Seeing that the situation began to develop in an unfavorable direction for Qin, Fan Ju, the prime minister of Qin, also attacked frequently, bribing Shandong countries with heavy money, and making sure that they would not send troops to attack Qin.

Only in this way, the tide of diplomatic relations between the Warring States period rolled up like a whirlwind again. (To be continued.) )
