Chapter 179 The Battle of Changping: Zhao Jun Breaks Out on the North Road

Just when Jin Bi's messengers left, the reinforcements sent by Lian Po had already arrived.

Six thousand seven hundred and eighty-two people. Looking at the scattered reinforcements, Jin Bi knew that this was the last reinforcement that General Lian Po could send.

The three pillars of smoke are not only a signal for the reinforcements to launch an attack, but also a signal to increase the confidence of the Qin army in the encirclement. I am afraid that the war with General Lianpo will not be too smooth now. Thousands more reinforcements can be squeezed out

, I think General Lian Po has already put in all his effort.

Just understanding is understanding, and the battlefield will not change its laws just because of a word of understanding. Jin Bi knew clearly: just now his own troops were superior, and he could only draw a tie with the Qin army. Now the Qin army has added tens of thousands of cavalry, and the battle

His strength has almost doubled, but he only has less than 7,000 reinforcements. How can he defeat him?

But you have to fight even if you can’t beat it!

The entire outer perimeter has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, and even if you want to break through, you can't do it. You can only fight with the Qin army. It depends on whether General Lian Po breaks through first, or whether the Qin army is defeated first.

At this point in the war, Jin Bi, as the general under General Long Jia's desperate protection, had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he had already vaguely anticipated the outcome of the battle - Wei Jun would not be Qin's opponent after all, even with Zhao Jun.

of help.

From Jin Bi's perspective, the reason for the failure of this battle may still be attributed to himself: because whether his own king or Lord Xinling, due to various reasons, his own troops were sent too late, which in turn weakened the Zhao army's combat effectiveness.

There were too many and they were unable to pose a major threat to the Qin army.

In such a large-scale battle, the weak Wei army must play the leading role to resist the Qin army. Even if the Qin army has fought fiercely for a long time and its combat power is critical, the Wei army is still no match. Obviously, from the beginning of this battle, the Wei army was a little too much from top to bottom.

of confidence.

But Jin Bi could only bury these thoughts silently in his heart. Whether it was the defeat or the reason for the defeat, Jin Bi could only bury it deep in his heart - the death of General Long Jia, Jin Bi did not want to make the same mistake again - confronting the leader, there is no way

It will end well.

The only thing Jin Bi can do now is to do his best to retain even a glimmer of hope for Wei's almost impossible victory.

"Send the order: shrink the defense line!" Looking at the Qin cavalry that kept firing in the distance, Jin Bi ordered with some helplessness.

"Yes!" A messenger took the order and left, and then the blue flags in the rear army rolled. The Wei troops retreated after hearing the order, and quickly abandoned their outer positions, shrinking the entire defensive circle by a large circle.

What Jin Bi did, especially when facing the cavalry, was actually a bit counterintuitive. The narrowing of the defensive circle not only gave away his little depth, but also lost a line of defense. It also made his own army

The density has increased a lot, which also gives the cavalry of Zanshe better room to play.

Of course, Jin Bi had his own reasons for doing this.

Facing the Qin Army's cavalry, it is impossible for him to attack without cavalry. Instead of letting the Qin Army shoot our troops at will on a wider front, it is better to shrink the army and reduce the front. In this way, if the Qin Army

When the cavalry came to attack, due to the reduced space, our army's bows and crossbows were immediately targeted. Although they could not repel the Qin army, they could still cause certain threats and losses to the Qin army's cavalry.

At the same time, the shrinkage of military strength will also be more conducive to the Wei army, which has weak individual combat capabilities, to block the elite Qin army.

To put it simply, Jin Bi's strategy was to use space and the lives of Wei soldiers to delay the Qin army's attack on the rear camp as long as possible.

It has to be said that as the last general of the Wei State, Jin Bi still showed the demeanor of a general at the most critical moment. Unfortunately, his opponent was the Qin Army, which made the six countries look at the Qin Army.

Three pillars of smoke completely ignited the last fire of life for the Wei and Qin armies. Just as Wei and Qin were fighting to the death under the smoke of the main battlefield in the southeast, the Zhao army that was besieged in the center also followed.

Move at the command of Langyan.

That's right, because the scouting horse could not reach too far, Zhao Kuo had no way of knowing the Qin army's itinerary. Worried that the Qin army might turn back at any time, Zhao Kuo chose the most appropriate time - when the Qin army launched a general attack on the Wei army.

With today's limited communication methods, the Qin army wants to move with a single order.

There were several methods including horns, flags and smoke, and combined with the smoke at noon, Zhao Kuo judged that the Qin army was most likely to continue to use the smoke as a signal to launch an attack on the Wei army.

As a result, the order "When the smoke rises, the army comes out!" was conveyed to the ears of every Zhao army soldier.

Of course, the order given to Zhao's soldiers was not to retreat, but to attack north and return to Changping Pass for repairs!

Slogans such as "Fight back to Changping Pass" were immediately spread. But in the eyes of a discerning person, it is natural to understand that the army is about to retreat. Of course, people with such a mind will not easily give these words to

Say it.

However, Zhao Kuo's counterattack against the Qin army with such great fanfare will obviously encounter a strong blockage from the Qin army, and the losses will be huge without a fight.

But Zhao Kuo had no choice.

The matter is urgent! Only by sacrificing one part can we save the other part. This is a difficult matter in ancient times.

Nearly 60,000 troops counterattacked together. The Qin army, which had been on the offensive just now, was suddenly confused! Why did Zhao Jun still have so many troops? How did they know that Zhao Kuo had already gathered all the soldiers from all sides for this attack?

At the same time, this blow is the strongest and final blow.

Zhao Kuo understands very well the principle of making great efforts, then failing again, and finally exhausting yourself in three attempts.

Once the attack fails, Bai Qi's old skills will soon discover his plan. There is no need for the army to go to the southern battlefield to come back for reinforcements. As long as the army to the west sticks to his rear army, then his 60,000

I am afraid that less than 10,000 of the remaining soldiers can successfully escape. Even I have to explain myself here.

Therefore, defense is meaningless.

The important thing is to take advantage of his unpreparedness, concentrate all his strength, and use an absolute crushing force to carve out a bloody path. By the time Bai Qi reacts, it will be too late to send troops to pursue him.

The terrain in the north was also an important factor in Zhao Kuo's decision. Unlike the southeast, the terrain in Shangdang became wider as you went north. The broad front gave Zhao Jun sufficient room to expand and also increased his strength.

The Qin army, which was in short supply, was unable to defend itself.

With the flags waving, accompanied by the smoke and the setting sun on the horizon, the 60,000 Zhao troops formed six lines, each with an arrow formation, and rushed towards the Qin army.

In an instant, the sound of war drums was as dull as thunder, tens of thousands of people screamed throughout the world, and thousands of people stepped on the yellow sand all over the sky. It should be the setting sun, and the sight of wolf smoke was embarrassing, and the sounds and looks were so daring that the Qin army was emboldened.
