Sometimes success or failure may really just be between that thought.

Today, the defense force around Zhao Kuo can almost be described as weak. Except for hundreds of personal soldiers, there are almost no available troops. Even the deputy commander of the personal army, Zhao Wei, was transferred away by Zhao Kuo. And even if

Since these hundreds of soldiers followed Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wei on several attacks, almost all of them were wounded and exhausted, and their combat strength was at a critical level.

As for the soldiers on the front line, they have unleashed almost all their potential in the continuous attacks. No matter how crazy they are, they will not be the opponents of the elite Qin army, not to mention the Qin army, which is known as the elite among the elite.

The soldiers took the lead.

Therefore, as long as Sima Cuo is ruthless and takes a gamble, Zhao Jun's front is very likely to be broken by him. Once Zhao Kuo loses his spiritual support, Zhao Jun, who has been working hard for a long time, is very likely to collapse emotionally in an instant.

He completely collapsed and fled.

At that time, on the main battlefield, there will be 200,000 Qin troops against 100,000 Wei troops, a two-to-one combat strength ratio, which is enough to once again arouse the Wei army's fear of Qin.

If everything develops in the direction that is most beneficial to the Qin army, the Wei army may even escape without fighting! Then the next situation is that the 200,000 Qin army will attack Jiepailing. Although there are natural dangers, the 30,000 Zhao army will obviously not

It is the opponent of the 200,000 Qin army. With the change of hands at Jiepailing, the Qin army's supply line has been reopened, and the initiative on the entire battlefield will soon change hands again. And the situation carefully laid out by Zhao Kuo will also be broken.

Even if the Wei army does not retreat and continues to fight the Qin army, the Qin army's combat power is not weak at all. Faced with such a situation of "Qin is strong and Wei is weak", the Zhao army starting from Daliang Mountain will no longer be able to defeat the Qin army.

Staying out of the situation, there is no other way but to join the battlefield and fight the Qin army.

At this time, even if the Zhao army joins the battlefield, its strength is only 200,000 to 200,000. Although the Zhao army, which is recharging its strength, can suppress the Qin army, which has been fighting for a long time, the still elite Qin army can also suppress it.

Wei Jun suffered from Qin phobia.

The outcome of this battle is unknown.

No matter what the final result is, even if the Zhao army wins in the end, I am afraid that Zhao Kuo will have very few of the 100,000 Zhao army seeds that he wants to save. And this is definitely not what Zhao Kuo wants.

Yes, up to this point, the Qin army, which had been almost surrounded, still had the possibility of a comeback. The strength of the Qin army and the power of the Qin country can be seen.

Fortunately, Sima Cuo, as a former military general, did not dare to take this gamble after all.

It's not that Sima Cuo didn't dare to gamble when he got old. Back then, the young man who dared to use his position as a general to openly oppose the national policies of Zhang Yi and Prime Minister Zhang Guo at the height of his power, and proposed a plan to enter Shu, would never lack a heart for adventure until his death.

heart.

In other words, the Qin State, located in the Western Regions and a wilderness since ancient times, has never lacked the spirit of adventure.

Because he dared to take risks, he was able to control his own national destiny, and he did not hesitate to offend almost all nobles and common people to carry out Shang Yang's reforms;

Because he dared to take risks, he still dared to launch the Hexi War after being defeated again and again, and brought down Wei, the leader of the Warring States Period;

There are also Quanrong, Yiqu, and Bashu. Almost every time the territory expands, the Qin people put their own national destiny on the line.

Does it sound familiar? Yes, the same is true for a country that lived a good life. So, I don’t believe that the country that lived a good life was not multiplied by the people Xu Fu brought.

.

Of course, compared to the blindness of the country that had a good life, Qin's big gambles were all made after rigorous calculations, with a high chance of winning, and after the huge benefits were determined, and then all the wealth was invested. Therefore,

, Qin State grew stronger step by step, and eventually became the strongest country in the Warring States Period.

Sima Cuo's decision obviously still continued Qin's thinking. From Sima Cuo's point of view, the benefits were unpredictable, but the risks were real, so it was really not worth it.

Of course, Sima was not wrong! The Qin people’s habitual thinking was not wrong either.

What was wrong was that Zhao Kuo's plan was too secretive and too cruel to himself and others.

As a result, the last possibility of the Qin army turning defeat into victory gradually disappeared in the smoke of blood and fire as the bright moon gradually set in the west.

Just this

Everything seems to have nothing to do with the Qin and Zhao armies to the northwest.

Compared to the main battlefield in the southeast, which was like a flesh-and-blood grinding mill, the battlefield in the northwest, which was only twenty miles away, seemed unusually quiet.

The Qin army had already stopped its ineffective offensive. Except for the necessary defensive forces, almost all the rest of the soldiers were seizing the time to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.

Zhao Kuo, without the Qin Army's attack, was naturally very busy reinforcing fortifications and reorganizing his troops. He had no intention of stroking the Qin Army's beard. Zhao Kuo knew very well that he had no intention of stroking the Qin Army's beard.

The Wei army restrained the Qin army's fighting power, and if their own troops rushed forward recklessly, they would be seeking death.

On a night when the moon was bright in the sky, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Zhao and Qin lay under the moonlight, listening to the seemingly invisible sounds of fighting dozens of miles away, shouts and weapons, and slowly fell into sleep.

It's not that they are ruthless and indifferent in the face of the bloody battles of their comrades, but the war has taught them that worry and sympathy have no effect on the war situation.

Today my comrades are bathed in blood, maybe tomorrow it will be my turn to fight to the death. This short rest time is the purpose of my comrades bathing in blood. Closing your eyes, relaxing your body, and quietly recovering your strength in bed is the best thing for your comrades.

A bloody battle is the best support. Because only in this way can you kill more enemies when it is your turn.

The quiet battlefield to the northwest was dozens of miles away, and the sound of horse hooves broke through the cries of cicadas and frogs. There was a hint of impatience in the not-so-regular steps. Fortunately, there was a bright moon shining on it, so this overnight march could not be considered peaceful.

So monotonous.

The battle ahead was already in full swing. If he could arrive a moment earlier, he would be able to survive countless more of his comrades. The captain leading the team obviously knew this truth very well.

"Faster! Faster!" The captain, riding on a tall horse, kept urging his men to move forward.

In order to win with one blow, Lord Wu An instructed that the three reinforcements must use the wolf smoke as a signal to launch a general attack on the Wei army from different directions. Tomorrow at noon is the deadline to reach the designated position! As the farthest party,

The army coming out of Light Wolf City must work harder than the reinforcements from the other two places.
Chapter completed!
