Chapter 279: Covering up the encirclement and suppression
Not to mention that the fierce general Shi Wansui slaughtered all sides in the center of the Checheng round array, and on the periphery of the big array, Wu Anjun Bai Qi left the Wolf Mountain watchtower for the first time and went to the front line to command the army.

The 200,000 army, under the command of Bai Qi, broke through the Checheng circle formation layer by layer.
The Checheng Circle Formation has lost its command center, although it is still barely operating, but it has lost the essence of the formation, and it can no longer be like an arm command, dividing into a combined attack, like a dead formation.
On the contrary, the Qin army, under the command of Bai Qi, combined infantry and cavalry, or defended in formation, or advanced with iron cavalry, or flanked from front and back, or lured the enemy into depth, or attacked head-on.
In all this, General Bai Qi's army commanded the clouds and water, like a whole, accurately encroaching on the Zhao army in the formation step by step. Zhao Jun was divided into several layers by the large array, and the previous advantage instantly turned into a disadvantage.
Zhao Zhuang escaped from the burned military command building and tried to recommand the army, but unfortunately he was already unable to do so.
At the foot of the pass, the earth-shattering contest began to enter the white-hot stage. In the round array of Checheng, the sound of killing shook the sky, the smoke and dust billowed out, and the thin mist was stirred up and down by the army.
The fairyland in the early morning turns into a hell in an instant.
Within a radius of ten miles, 200,000 Qin troops and 100,000 Zhao troops were intertwined, black and red mixed together, turning and moving, fighting each other, you have me, I have you, just like a vivid sketch.
The earth is the drawing board, the soldiers are the paint, and Bai Qi is the real painter.
As the battle progressed, black began to gain the upper hand, and a torrent of black swept away the red wave, and then divided and surrounded one by one, launching a brutal encirclement and suppression.
Slowly, the red became thinner and thinner, and black began to become the main color, and the messy red, mixed with the black sea, was like a rootless duckweed, floating with the waves.
At the end of the battle, the Checheng round formation had completely failed, and the Zhao army was defeated.
Zhao Zhuang was also decisive, seeing that he could not do anything, he immediately gathered the army and withdrew towards the old pass, striving to preserve the vitality of the Zhao army. The army fought and retreated, and soon retreated to its old pass.
Seeing that the Zhao army abandoned the battle and fled, Bai Qi ordered to stop the pursuit.
This battle can be called a rabbit falling and falling.
According to statistics after the war, the Qin army broke the Checheng round formation at the cost of 10,000 deaths, and the Zhao army left more than 30,000 corpses and fled back to their hometown in embarrassment.
After breaking the formation, the grain and grass left by the Zhao army in the formation naturally cheapened the Qin army.
Bai Qi did not relax, and ordered to rebuild a camp at the foot of the old pass, based on the materials of the Checheng Circle Array, referred to as the southern line barracks, and completely locked the road of the Zhao army to the south.
After the war, Bai Qi moved the shogunate of the Chinese army from Wolf Mountain to the camp of the royal tomb. The army of Mengfu, who was originally stationed in the camp of the royal tomb, joined the army of Wang Yu and stationed at the southern line camp at the foot of the old pass.
As for the iron cavalry led by Huan Di, they were stationed in the Wangling camp as the general strategy of the whole army, and at the same time responsible for guarding the safety of the army's grain route.
The greatest hero of this great battle, a thousand commandos, only more than 400 people survived in the end. Of the 700 warriors of the Shanhai County Praetorian Guard Brigade, there are less than 300 left, which shows how tragic the scene of the battle was at that time.
When Shi Wansui walked out of the great array, he was like a bloody man, covered with the blood of the enemy, and even his face could not be distinguished, like a Shura who had come out of hell.
The soldiers of Qin looked at Shi Wansui, their eyes full of reverence.
Ouyang Shuo also felt very relieved, whether it was the battle of Zhuolu, the battle of Muye, or the current battle of Changping, Shi Wansui could always stand up at a critical moment and solve the problem for him.
The Battle of Zhuolu against Chiyou, the Battle of Muye built a steel defense line, and the Battle of Changping served as the vanguard of the assault, he was really the god of war in the army and an iron-blooded warrior.
Seeing that Shi Wansui was so powerful, he was also holding back a lot of strength in his heart, wanting to find a chance to prove it. The rakshasa under him, feeling the master's fighting spirit, roared highly: "Nian~~~"
Ouyang Shuo looked at this scene amusedly, shaking his head and saying nothing. As soon as the round formation of Checheng was broken, the overall situation had been decided, and it was not far from the end of the Battle of Changping.
************
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
In the Changping Valley, fierce battles were raging, and the battle in the north began at the same time.
Zhao Kuo led 150,000 defenders of the old pass, and converged with the 50,000 Huguan defenders who went south, a total of 200,000 troops, like a sea of fire, straight to the Yingbao camp.
The pressure on the Yingbao camp increased dramatically in an instant, and the danger was repeated. Fortunately, after this period of reinforcement and transformation, the camp is already an iron-blooded fortress, with all kinds of equipment for defending the city, and it is densely arranged. Ying Bao is also an iron-blooded general, leading the Qin army to stubbornly repel the attacks of the Zhao army again and again.
For a while, although the Zhao army had the advantage, it was unable to break into the camp.
Seeing that the battle to capture the Yingbao camp is about to turn into a long-lasting and bitter battle. At this moment, the news that the Checheng circle array was broken and Zhao Zhuang's army was defeated and returned reached Zhao Kuo's ears, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which blew Zhao Kuo up. Zhao Kuo couldn't have imagined how the world's unparalleled defensive array could be broken by the Qin army in a short period of time.
As soon as the Checheng circle array was broken, there was no barrier to the south of the fortress, and in the face of the threat of the Qin army, it was possible that the Qin army would attack the fortress at any time, and the pressure on the Zhao army increased. In such a situation, how can Zhao Kuo attack the Yingbao camp with peace of mind.
Zhao Kuo couldn't allow Zhao Kuo to think about it, and the scout commander then reported another piece of bad news: "The scout came to report that a Qin army suddenly bypassed Taihang Mountain, broke through from the caliber of Huguan, and occupied Huguan while the main force of the defenders of Huguan Fortress was heading south. All 10,000 defenders of the fortress were killed. ”
When Zhao Kuo heard the news, he stumbled under his feet, and he was about to stand unsteadily, his face was instantly pale, without a trace of blood, and his eyes showed a sense of despair.
Seeing the general's demeanor, the scout commander was also concerned. Zhao Jun finally reversed the tide of the battle, and in an instant, the battle situation came to a 180-degree reversal.
Whoever it is, I can't accept it for a while, let alone Zhao Kuo, who has always been arrogant.
After the fall of Yewang Fortress, King Qin Zhao sent a new army to Hanoi. This secret army, Bai Qi has not started, but let them go north quietly along the Taihang Mountain, waiting for the opportunity.
Bai Qi's original plan was to use this army to contain and block the reinforcements of the vassal states. Unexpectedly, the Wei army was so vulnerable, and was beaten by the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Qin army, which suddenly frightened the courage of the five countries of Shandong, and no reinforcements dared to go to the Changping Theater.
Even so, considering that the Qin army in the Changping Theater was sufficient, it was still enough to deal with the current battle situation. Bai Qi still did not transfer this army to Changping, but let the army lurk.
According to Bai Qi's marching style, he still did not give up the siege of the Zhao army, so he decided on the sixteen-character strategy to break the enemy. Huguan has become the best breakthrough in the eyes of Bai Qi.
Sure enough, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
Under Bai Qi's deliberate lure, the young Zhao Kuo still couldn't hold back, wanting to annihilate the Yingbao army and achieve a brilliant victory. As everyone knows, he has already fallen into the trap set by Bai Qi.
The battle situation was completely in accordance with Bai Qi's deduction and went smoothly. The only accident may be Zhao Kuobu's Checheng Circle Array, which made Bai Qi very distressed for a while.
Fortunately, under Ouyang Shuo's whimsy, the accident was eliminated, and the battle returned to the chessboard of Bai Qi. With such a huge arrangement, except for Bai Qi, no one can get a glimpse of the whole picture of the generals of the Qin army.
It is precisely in this way that Bai Qi will praise Ouyang Shuo. Because if it weren't for Ouyang Shuo's strategy, Bai Qi's entire military plan would have been in vain.
Seizing the opportunity for the Huguan defenders to go out, the Qin army captured the Huguan fortress in one fell swoop, completely cutting off the grain and grass passage of the Zhao army and the only passage for the Zhao army to return to Handan.
At this point, after some arrangement, the battle situation magically returned to the scene at the beginning of the battle. The 300,000 Zhao army was besieged by the 400,000 Qin army in the old pass, unable to move.
To the north of the pass, 100,000 Qin troops were stationed at Huguan; To the west, the leopard camp is impregnable; To the south, 200,000 Qin troops were stationed at the southern front camp and the Wangling camp; To the east, there are mountains and birds.
After capturing Huguan, the 100,000 Qin troops stationed in Huguan, under Bai Qi's order, divided 40,000 iron cavalry to reinforce the Yingbao camp, completely cutting off the possibility of the Zhao army capturing the camp.
"Withdraw the troops and return to your hometown!" After being silent for a long time, Zhao Kuo said in an inaudible voice.
At the critical moment, Zhao Kuo still maintained a trace of sanity and did not forcibly attack the Yingbao camp. The Checheng Circle Formation was broken, and if it continued to fight, it would not wait for the Yingbao camp to fall, so the pass would fall first.
At that time, the 200,000 Zhao army had neither a camp to defend nor food and grass to support, so it was really in a desperate situation, just like the previous scene. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shudder.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo must take advantage of the time when the Qin army is repairing, withdraw to the fortress of Guguan in time, and defend the pass, hoping that the country can recruit reinforcements to rescue. In any case, there is still grain and grass in the fortress for the army for a month.
As long as the Zhao army can't hold out, the Qin army won't want to successfully take the Guguan fortress.
After the army withdrew from the front line, Zhao Kuo fell ill, with a high fever and a blurred mind. The Zhao army lost its backbone and faced a desperate situation, and its morale dropped to the lowest point ever.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, stood up and appeased the army.
Knowing that Huguan was occupied by the Qin army, Di Chen and others were like ashes. The Inhuman Legion of the Zhao State camp, after several rounds of fierce battles, was less than 10,000 people, and it could no longer control the situation of the battle. All plans have failed.
The only thing to be happy about may be the successful subjugation of the two generals. Emperor Chen personally rushed to Handan, but he didn't know what means he used to successfully subdue Lian Po. With his dazzling performance, the wolf warrior successfully won Zhao Zhuang.
Only Zhao Kuo, although the task was triggered by Chun Shenjun, but the current situation, whether it can be successfully subdued in the end is still unknown.
The big drama is coming to an end! (To be continued.) )
