Let’s first talk about the West Bank barrier that everyone has high hopes for.

Not to mention that it was badly damaged after a great battle. Even if Zhao Kuo mobilized tens of thousands of troops to repair it continuously, it would be difficult to repair it as before and completely restore its original defensive power.

Even if we take a step back and say that the barrier has been repaired to some extent, the inherent problem of poor internal defense of the barrier alone is destined to not last long.

What's more, the Qin army's offensive was a two-sided attack, and the 50,000-strong army on top of the barrier had nearly 30,000 horses, but it was just a temporary army of civilians. Although it had experienced the first battle of attacking the fortress, compared with

Compared with the elite Qin army, there is obviously still a big gap.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo's order to Xu Li was only to defend for three days. Even according to Zhao Kuo's original intention, it didn't matter whether he defended for three days or not. As long as he could kill as many Qin troops as possible, it would be enough; during the three-day period,

More of them are words of comfort for the generals. Only with this three-day agreement can we give the generals a reassurance and allow them to defend the fortress with confidence.

Of course, with the strength of the barrier and the ability of Xu Li, it should not be a problem to hold it for three days. And three days is basically the limit of the barrier army.

Once the three-day period comes and the barrier is broken, almost all the pressure will be on the hundreds of temporarily built fortresses.

Although each fortress is built according to the terrain, it is considered a dangerous place, but it is not as dangerous as the barrier. The barrier can only be defended for three days, and the fortress can only hold on for one or two days, which is the limit of the limits.

However, although the fortress was small, its large number made it even better. Coupled with Zhao Kuo's secret tactics, even if the Qin army wanted to pull them out one by one, it would take a lot of effort.

But in the final analysis, neither barriers nor fortresses can change the fundamental situation on the battlefield.

And what about the northern route where Zhao Kuo concentrated his combat power? Can the situation be reversed?

I'm afraid not.

Because Zhao Kuo did not have 80,000 cavalry at all! Not even 50,000. More cavalry had already been transferred to the Daliangshan military camp.

Even if Zhao Kuo had all the combat power, he would not be able to break through the encirclement of the Qin army's northern line.

Because the opponent Bai Qi had already deployed a hundred thousand cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry on Zhao's most likely escape route - the North Road. Even if Zhao's cavalry could fight back and forth with Qin's cavalry,

The remaining infantry was unable to break through the defense line composed of 30,000 elite soldiers.

Moreover, once the Zhao army withdraws from the defense line of Guanglang City and completely devotes its troops to the north road, the Qin army's forces in Guanglang City will be released. A hundred thousand troops can support the north road at any time and block the Zhao army's northward escape.

Even if the Zhao army doubled its strength, it would still be difficult to break through.

It is basically impossible for at least the organized troops to break through the encirclement, let alone defeat the Qin army.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo actually had no intention of breaking out of the North Road, which the generals had high hopes for, nor did he expect to be able to reverse the situation of the battle.

Obviously, Zhao Jun has fallen into a dead situation carefully arranged by Bai Qi, a dead situation that Zhao Jun has to get out of, and a dead situation from which he cannot escape.

Everything Zhao Kuo arranged had only one purpose from beginning to end: to get into the Qin army's trap, preserve his own strength as much as possible, and kill as much of the Qin army's effective forces as possible.

Unless you get into the trap of the Qin army, you cannot lure the Qin army to its full strength;

Unless the Qin army's strength is forced out, the Qin army's combat power cannot be effectively destroyed;

The Wei army will not come forward to disrupt the situation without destroying the Qin army's combat power;

Unless you preserve your own strength, you will not be able to lead the final victory.

Of course, the matter has reached this point, and the outcome is no longer under Zhao Kuo's control. However, we have to admit that even if the final outcome is worse, because of the sudden changes in Daliang Mountain, the Qin army will not be able to defeat the 400,000 Zhao Kuo as usual in history.

The army was completely slaughtered.

Being on the west bank of Danshui, the only thing Zhao Kuo can do is to gather the will of the 300,000-strong army and resolutely give the Qin army a severe blow. As for the final victory, it depends on whether Lian Po can invite reinforcements in time.

The time for Daliangshan’s elite to attack...

Like a huge gamble, the 300,000 troops on the west bank of Danshui, including Zhao Kuo himself, are just a ticket, not even a bargaining chip.

Fortunately, under Zhao Kuo's performance of "Suppress first and then raise", Zhao Jun's generals not only became more confident, but also at least regained some of their confidence. It was enough to go into battle with such a mood.

As for the rest, blood will be the best class.

Seeing that the generals had no objections, Zhao Kuo immediately ordered the army to move again.

Coincidentally, the cavalry units of Zhao's army happened to be concentrated in the north, while the infantry were mostly concentrated in the south, which reduced a lot of confusion.

However, in the eyes of the generals, this coincidence is the best evidence that the general had already predicted it. Of course, this is actually not a coincidence at all.

In any case, the nearly 300,000 Zhao troops quickly turned around more than ten miles away from the light wolf city barrier. One group, mainly cavalry, rushed towards the north road, and the main force was the rear team moving forward.

The team slowly retreated towards the fortress along the way.

Zhao Jun's retreat could not be concealed from Qin Jun's eyes and ears. Everyone else was fine, but General Sima Cuo, the leader of Guanglang City, was confused on the spot.

"I stayed up all night and finally adjusted the defense line in place. You should come and attack and test the quality of this barrier! What if this is just an empty city!" Sima couldn't help but wailed in his heart.

.

It's no wonder that Sima Cuo was so surprised. Since Bai Qi mobilized his army north and south, Sima Cuo has been thinking very hard, organizing new and old soldiers, adjusting defensive measures, doing everything personally, not sleeping for days and nights, even because of the reserve team.

The quarrel with Wu'an Lord Bai Qi was to increase the strength of the defensive soldiers of the barrier.

You actually stopped fighting?

Are you worthy of me?

Sima Cuo's face turned from white to green, obviously finding it difficult to accept the news.

Not to mention that Sima was wrong, even Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was stunned when he first heard the news that Zhao Jun's entire army had turned.

Did I overestimate Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army, or did I underestimate him?

You just received the news that our army has built a barrier in Guanglang City, and you decisively ordered to turn back?

Is your sense of smell so sensitive on the battlefield?

Why is the reckless man you promised inexperienced?

"I really don't know whether I should praise Zhao Kuo for being cautious or scold him for being as timid as a mouse." Bai Qi shook his head helplessly and kept cursing in his heart.

However, Bai Qi was a battle-hardened man after all, and he quickly recovered from his shock.

"Forget it! If Zhao Jun doesn't attack, there will be fewer surprises." Bai Qi looked at Sima Cuo and comforted him a little, then turned around and gave orders to the generals.
