Chapter 269: King's Tomb Died in Battle
Speaking of the critical moment, Zhao Kuo personally led a thousand horsemen to stop the second brigade of Shanhai County.
In the eyes of the knights of the second brigade, Zhao Jun's flying cavalry is like a floating cloud in the sky. Seeing you by your side, Tang Dao slashes and disappears. With the actual combat cooperation, it is really difficult to resist this dazzling and mighty cavalry and archery team.
Fortunately, there is evil to restrain them, the second brigade has formed a defensive formation, and for a while, it is enough to protect itself.
After all, the alien cavalry unit had limited strength. Even if they penetrated through Zhao Jun's 40,000 cavalry, they could not rush to reinforce the second brigade in time. Instead, they were held back by Zhao Jun's knights.
How could Zhao Jun's iron cavalry wait for nothing? After they reacted, they immediately launched a counterattack in an attempt to encircle the rushing enemy with the advantage of their strength.
After all, most of the more than 20,000 foreign cavalry troops, except for some elite cavalry, are not as powerful as Zhao Jun's cavalry, especially the coalition cavalry, which is even more unbearable.
Now, the second brigade is being held back, and only the Imperial Guard Brigade is acting as a sharp knife, rushing from left to right among the cavalry positions of Zhao Jun, breaking Zhao Jun's attempt to encircle them.
Shi Wansui took the lead, replacing Evil and acting as an arrow. With such a fierce general, even Zhao Zhuang can't match him, not to mention the other generals of the Zhao army, they are really unbeatable.
The battle situation once again fell into a stalemate.
After such a delay, the remnants of Wang Ling finally came to an end under the onslaught of the Guguan army.
Wang Ling looked around and said solemnly: "Brothers, let us sing "No Clothes" one last time!" In the deathly silence of the audience, Wang Ling's hoarse voice floated on the battlefield:
Do you say no clothes? In the same robe as the son.
Wang Yuxing taught me to repair my spear. The same hatred with the son!
Do you say no clothes? Same with Zi.
Wang Yu Xingshi, repair my spear and halberd. Work with your son!
Do you say no clothes? Wear the same clothes as your son.
Wang Yuxing division, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with you!
The tragic Qin Feng was sung by Wang Ling impassionedly. Under the influence of the general, the soldiers hummed together, united against the enemy, swearing at the old Qin, and went to the national calamity together.
Singing "No Clothes", the remnants of Wangling's tomb slaughtered the army of the old pass, and they regarded death as home, frankly and frankly.
The wolf warrior on the opposite side couldn't help but be infected by Qin Jun's bravery and tragedy, and was speechless for a while.
But, this is war. Putting aside his personal feelings, Zhan Lang said in a cold voice, "Kill!"
If the remnant of the royal mausoleum is a reef, representing the indomitable and stubbornness of the old Qin people, then the red and black mixed army of Guguan is like a stormy wave, beating against the reef with the mighty power of heaven and earth.
The already broken reef immediately shattered and exploded, splashing countless blood.
At this moment, General Wang Ling, one of the six generals under Wu An Jun Baiqi, died in battle.
"Wang Ling!" Huan He cried out in mournful voice.
When Huan He heard Qin Feng's "No Clothes", he felt that something was wrong. In the end, he couldn't save Wang Ling's fate, and watched his brother die in battle.
All of a sudden, Qin Jun exuded a fearless and desolate voice, which was daunting.
At this moment, 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry led by fierce general Wang Lu arrived one after another. Hearing Huan He's mournful cry, Wang He couldn't help trembling, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
Wang He led his troops to meet Huan He's army, and seeing the desolation emanating from Huan He's men, he felt even more uneasy, and asked in a trembling voice, "Huan He, how is the Wangling Ministry?"
Wang He's question brought Huan He back to reality. His voice was as cold as nine feet of ice, which made people intimidated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Ling is dead, we want to avenge him!"
"What?!" Wang Yan turned pale with shock. After all, he was one step late, and he couldn't help but feel deeply guilty.
Compared with Huan Lu's gaffe, Zhao Kuo was much calmer. While he ordered General Qianqi to command Qianrenqi instead of him, he led the white cavalry back to the hill headquarters.
Zhao Kuo knew very well that Huan's onslaught had caused Zhao Jun to suffer a lot, and now that Wang's troops came again, Zhao Jun became precarious for a while.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Guan Dajun fought hard and took the lead in destroying the remnants of Wang Ling. Zhao Kuo immediately ordered the Guguan army to cross the camp and join forces with the main force of the army to jointly resist Huan and Wang's two tribes.
"General, for the current plan, should we return to the old pass first?" Sima in the army suggested to Zhao Kuo.
According to Sima in the army, the passage between the main force and the old pass has been re-opened, so we should retreat to the old pass first, and then make plans.
"No!" Zhao Kuo flatly refused, not because he was conceited, but as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, Zhao Kuo thought further. Although the army of Wangling has been wiped out now, the main force of the Qin army is still there.
If they retreated to the old pass at this time, then Zhaozhuang's army on the southern front, which was responsible for blocking the Qin army, would be trapped in a front and back attack. It is conceivable that they would end up in the same end as Wang Ling's army.
And once Zhao Zhuang's army was beaten and disabled, Zhao Guo would be powerless to recover. You know, in the country of Zhao, there is no longer a single soldier that can be dispatched.
In this way, Zhao Guo will still lose in this epic battle, which is what Zhao Kuo does not want to see.
"Order the whole army, and hold on a little longer. When the whole army goes south, it must meet Zhao Zhuang's army." Zhao Kuo ordered decisively, "Also, order Zhao Zhuang to shrink the defense line and wait for reinforcements."
"Promise!" The Sima in the army immediately waved the flag to convey Zhao Kuo's military order.
Under Zhao Kuo's mobilization, the entire Changping Valley, the armies of Qin and Zhao, intertwined with each other from north to south. There is me in you, and you in me, which is magnificent.
In the far north is Zhao Kuo's army, which has gathered the army of Guguan. After repeated fierce battles, there are still 120,000 infantry and more than 35,000 cavalry.
On the opposite side of Zhao Kuo's army, there are two coalition forces of Wang He and Huan He, all cavalry troops, plus the Alien Legion, there are more than 100,000 cavalry in total.
Behind the coalition forces is Zhao Zhuang's army, which is still entangled with the Qin army. After a lot of fighting, there were still more than 200,000 soldiers in Zhaozhuang's army, all of whom were on foot and cavalry, and they were the main force of another part of Zhao's army.
Confronting Zhao Zhuang's army was Meng Ao's army and the remaining troops of Wang Yan. Meng Ao's army, counting the alien infantry, still has about 120,000 people. Part of Wang Yan's army was transferred away, and with the loss during the breakout, there were still about 120,000 left. The two parts are loaded together, and it is estimated to be 250,000.
To the north of the Bailishi Great Wall, Yingbao's 35,000 troops were also stationed. In the same way, Zhao Jun still guarded 70,000 troops in Guguan, which was specially used to monitor the Yingbao army.
Therefore, in terms of military strength, the two sides are still evenly matched.
The armies of the six routes are intertwined with each other, which is really a spectacle never seen in the ages.
At this time, the ability of the coach is very much tested. In this regard, Bai Qi is obviously better.
Wu An Jun Bai Qi has been watching the battle from the watchtower of Langshan, and any slight changes in the battle situation cannot escape his eyes. The only variable was that he did not expect that there would suddenly be an extra 40,000 elite alien army in Guguan, which caught him by surprise and resulted in the destruction of the Royal Tomb's army.
In the current battle situation, it seems that the two sides are evenly matched, and anyone has the opportunity to encircle and wipe out the opponent's army along the way.
Zhao Kuo can cooperate with Zhao Zhuang's army to attack Wang He and Huan He from the north and the south, and eat these two groups of cavalry. Similarly, Bai Qi can also attack Zhao Zhuang's army from north to south, depending on who is more skilled.
In fact, Qin Jun still has the advantage.
First, both Wang Lu and Huan Lu have not experienced repeated battles, and their soldiers are physically fit. They are also the only troops on the battlefield that have not experienced a major battle.
Second, both Wang Lu and Huan Lu are all cavalry, and they are far stronger than Zhao Jun in terms of mobility and flexibility. On the other hand, Zhao Kuo's army, except for more than 30,000 iron cavalry, the rest are all uniform infantry, how can they catch up with Wang Lu and Huan Lu's two cavalry.
Third, Zhao Jun is timid. After experiencing the despair of being besieged, Zhao Jun never dared to advance lightly, went south with all his strength, and fought to the death with Qin Jun. If the back road is cut off again, it will really be like crying without tears.
Zhao Kuo is not a mediocre person either. It is precisely because he saw this that he did not seek to annihilate the enemy, but only wished to bring Zhao Zhuang's army out, retreat to the old pass together, and then make a long-term plan.
The commanders-in-chief of the two armies are very human. What Zhao Kuo lacks is mainly actual combat experience. The recent series of battles are enough for him to learn lessons and make rapid progress.
What kind of person Bai Qi saw the situation clearly, and ordered decisively, ordering the two armies of Wang Lu and Huan Lu to join together immediately, turn their horses around, and send their troops south to attack Zhaozhuang's army.
After receiving the order, Huan He glanced at the opposite side unwillingly, and said harshly, "Withdraw!"
After receiving the order to retreat, the second brigade no longer entangled with Zhao Jun's thousand cavalry, and quickly transferred the horse's head to the south. At this moment, the Imperial Guard Brigade and other departments appeared in due course to meet the soldiers of the Second Brigade. Coupled with the assistance of Wang Yan's army, the Alien Legion successfully withdrew from Zhao Jun's cavalry.
The two armies are intertwined with each other, and now they want to separate suddenly, which will test the general's ability very much. Especially the Huan Lu army and the alien cavalry corps are now voluntarily withdrawing, which is tantamount to handing over their backs to the enemy.
Therefore, the army must not retreat in a swarm, otherwise, it will easily become the target of the enemy.
Fortunately, whether it is Wang Yan, Huan Yan, Shi Wansui, or Zhang Liao, they are all very experienced generals. They all know how to arrange the rear troops, how to arrange the flank protection troops, and how to arrange the front troops.
In addition, Zhao Kuo's army was exhausted and exhausted after attacking the Wangling camp earlier. Later, he had to grit his teeth to intercept Huan's army, and his physical strength was even more exhausted.
Now, under the strict arrangement of the generals of the Qin army, seeing that there was no suitable opportunity for a surprise attack, they naturally pushed the boat along the way and let the Huan's army withdraw smoothly.
Seeing the Qin army's 100,000 cavalry killing Zhao Zhuang's army in a murderous manner, Zhao Kuo could only cheer up. He ordered the Guguan army to change from the rear army to the front army, and led his troops to go south to meet the Zhaozhuang army.
Therefore, Guan Dajun was recharging his energy before, and only rushed out of the pass at a critical moment. He was facing the already crumbling Wangling army, so he still had some spare strength in terms of physical strength.
