"General, the Qi people are coming from the north."
Li Shiqi's voice sounded.
Zhao Tuo was looking at the left wing of the Qi army in the south near Pu River. When he heard Li Shiqi's words, he immediately turned his head and looked north.
Sure enough, I saw a Qi army marching north from its right wing, bypassing the front battlefield, and running towards the Qin army's rear formation.
Judging from his appearance, he either wanted to attack the Qin army from the side, or he wanted to attack the Qin army's rear.
"Da Sima is in a hurry."
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth curled up slightly.
The Qi army was weak, lacked training and coordination, and its combat effectiveness was inherently weaker than the Qin army.
In addition, at noon, the soldiers of Qin were full of energy after eating cakes, while the people of Qi had no cake to eat, and their energy was exhausted.
As time went by, the Qin army's advantage became greater and greater.
This caused the Qi army to send tens of thousands more people to the battlefield and fight with more, but still could not hide its decline. The Qin army was beaten back continuously, suffering heavy casualties, and the formation was close to collapse. It was only a matter of time before the Qin army was defeated.
At this moment, Da Sima sent out an army of ten thousand people to make a surprise attack, presumably to fight to the death and seek the final chance of victory.
If this army can successfully flank the Qin army, or rush into the Qin army's rear formation and cause chaos to the Qin army, not only will the Qi army be able to win immediately, it will at least have a chance to counterattack, which will also boost the flagging morale of the army.
"Haha, this group of people should have a thousand martial arts that Da Sima regards as treasures. He is finally willing to show his trump card."
Zhao Tuo smiled faintly.
Li Shiqi also burst out laughing: "The last time I entered the Qi camp in the battle of Zhencheng, Da Sima couldn't wait to show me his martial arts. This time when I entered the Qi camp, he only showed me old and weak people.
He concealed his killing move, but we didn’t know that we already knew all about his thousand skills and attacks.”
Although the people of the Four Kingdoms killed most of the pro-Qin faction in Qi last time, there will always be no shortage of people who understand current affairs in this world.
This time the Qin army attacked Qi, many people in Qi took the initiative to reveal important military information to the Qin army in order to make contributions to the Qin people and preserve the wealth of their families.
In addition, there were also people from Qin lurking inside the Qi State, passing on news from time to time. Therefore, Zhao Tuo knew Da Sima's trump card early, which was one of the reasons why he was bound to win this battle.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.
The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. When the Qi army dispatched this team, Zhao Tuo also found an opportunity to win.
"This Qi army should be the last fighting force in the hands of Da Sima. Now that it is sent to the battlefield, even if there are elite guards behind it, there will definitely not be many."
"The tens of thousands of Qi people left behind have not been trained for long, and they are all chickens and dogs. I should take advantage of this opportunity to use all my sharp soldiers to win."
A flash of light flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes, and he said loudly: "Since Da Sima likes his martial arts, I will also give him a face. Li Shang, ordered Zhao Guang to take me 20,000 Guan sergeants to the north to block Qi people's army.
Army. If two beat one, there will be nothing to worry about."
Zhao Tuo took another look at the battlefield and saw that in the face-to-face confrontation, the Qin army was in high spirits and was not in danger of defeat, so there was no need to leave too many reserves.
His eyes finally fell on the left wing of the Qi army.
With Zhao Tuo's years of experience on the battlefield, he can naturally see where the weaknesses are in an army.
"It's time, the winner will be decided here."
Zhao Tuo whispered, and then shouted: "Send another order to Shejian, asking him to lead our army's 20,000 elite veterans out of the battle, and take the Qi army's left flank for me!"
"After breaking Qi's left wing, immediately attack Qi's central army and defeat both of them in a row. Then there will be no suspense in this battle!"
"only!"
Li Shang shouted loudly and immediately sent people to convey orders to all ministries.
…
"Nanshan Cui Cui, Qi's army is majestic."
"Get out of the car with Peng Peng, and the flag is Yang Yang.
"The great Sima, the thin Qiang."
On the north side of the battlefield, ten thousand Qi soldiers sang high-spirited war songs, surrounded by a thousand martial arts warriors, and rushed straight to the rear of the Qin army.
"If our army wants to win now, it can only rely on this elite force. These thousand martial arts warriors are all the best in the world. With them leading the charge, they will definitely be able to break into the Qin army's formation, not to mention capturing Qin general Zhao Tuo, at least
It can also cause some confusion to the Qin army."
Tian Rong rode his horse and followed the ten thousand people forward, shouting from time to time to control the formation of his soldiers.
He was a powerful man in Dicheng. Because of his brother Tian Dan, he became a general of 2,000 men in this elite Qi army. This time he charged with the army in order to make achievements on the battlefield.
However, when Tian Rong followed the elite Qi army and was about to arrive at the rear of the Qin army, he found that there was already a Qin army waiting in formation here.
This Qin army seemed to be more numerous than them. They were lined up in a square formation and ready to attack.
At the forefront is a line of thousands of crossbowmen. These crossbowmen are all lightly armed and carry swords, and they either kneel or stand.
A pair of eyes quietly watched the Qi army approaching. They held crossbows and were ready to launch at any time.
After the crossbow soldiers, there are Qin soldiers with short soldiers and long soldiers standing in formation, both offensive and defensive.
In the battle formation, Qin generals stood on chariots to give command, with golden drums changing, flags waving, and messengers galloping around, directing every move of the Qin soldiers.
Facing this scene, although Tian Rong frowned, he was not surprised.
This is to be expected.
When the commander-in-chief of the Qin army discovered that this Qi army was detouring from the battlefield, he would definitely send troops to stop it.
What their Qi army has to do is to tear apart the Qin army's battle formation in front of them in one breath, and stab it into the heart of the Qin army like a sharp knife.
All this depends on the martial arts warriors who placed all the hopes on Da Sima.
Looking at the average height of the Qin people opposite him, who was a little over seven feet tall, Tian Rong felt a little at ease.
Although the Qin army was larger in number, the Qi army was led by a thousand eight-foot-tall martial arts warriors.
The martial arts charge was like a thousand fierce tigers coming out of the cage. How could those small Qin people resist?
And in this era, if you want to break the formation, you don't need to kill all the opponents. You only need to break its military formation, defeat its sharp soldiers, and if one part is defeated, all the troops will be defeated, and the entire Qin army will be defeated.
Under the leadership of brave men, it is not impossible to break from 10,000 to 20,000.
"For Da Sima!"
"For the great king, Qi will be victorious!"
"Attack and defeat the Qin army for me!"
General Qi, who commanded this army of ten thousand people, raised his arms and shouted, giving the order to attack.
Hearing loud shouts, the last few hundred riders of the Qi army immediately mounted their horses and launched a desperate charge.
They will sacrifice their lives to bear the Qin army's arrow rain, disperse the Qin army's crossbowmen, and provide cover for the subsequent charge of the martial arts warriors.
Behind the galloping chariots, a thousand martial arts warriors were wearing armor and marching with their heads held high, showing the courage of the Qi army.
Behind them were 10,000 Qi soldiers. Looking at the big men charging forward, these Qi soldiers were all invigorated and had high fighting spirit.
"shoot!"
Following Qin General's orders.
The Qin army took the lead with a hail of arrows, killing many of the Qi army's chariots and cavalry.
Many arrows fell on the thousands of martial arts warriors behind the chariots and riders. These thousand warriors were well-equipped and wore metal armor. They held shields to cover their faces and other vital parts. They allowed the arrows to fall on their bodies, making a tinkling sound.
sound.
Except for some unlucky ones who happened to be hit by arrows in exposed vital parts, most people were basically unscathed.
At this time, the Qi army's chariots and cavalry successfully drove away the Qin army's crossbowmen after suffering a large number of casualties, but they were soon stabbed to death by Qin soldiers who came up from behind the crossbowmen with beryllium and halberds.
However, the sacrifice of these riders was worth it, because immediately after, more than 900 martial arts warriors at the head of the Qi army rushed into the Qin army's formation.
"kill!"
"Nai Gong will chop you Qin dogs to death!"
These martial arts warriors used the time gained by riding and riding to crash into the Qin army's battle formation.
Relying on the strength of their armor, their passion for fighting, and their eagerness to fight, they moved around in the Qin army's battle formation, regardless of life and death, killing all directions.
A strong man in iron armor could hold up three or four Qin troops. His powerful offensive immediately tore a hole in the front line of the Qin army, causing the Qin army's front line to fall into a short-lived turmoil.
confusion.
"Hahaha, you are indeed my warrior! Defeat them for me!"
Behind the Qi army, Tian Chong looked at the battlefield from a distance and laughed.
Although he could not see the specific battle situation there due to the distance, but from the colors of the armor and flags, it could be roughly seen that the Qi army was like a sharp sword, deeply embedded in the black Qin army's battle formation, and its momentum was very strong.
fierce.
As long as this trend continues, it is not impossible to defeat the Qin army blocking the enemy and rush into the Qin army.
"Is this Qi Ren's martial arts?"
In the battle formation of the Qin army, Zhao Guang, the leader of the Qin army, stared at the chaos ahead with his eyes like a torch.
The Qi army followed closely behind those warriors and rushed into the Qin army's battle formation. With a strong spirit of bravery, they gained the upper hand in a short time and broke through several layers of Qin army's defense lines.
However, although Zhao Guang's face was solemn, he showed no fear.
He once again stared at the tall warriors wearing iron armor, with a sneer on his lips.
That's all.
If the armies of the other five countries were to charge against these warriors, their morale would be shattered in one fell swoop, and they would be covered up and killed by the Qi army that rushed forward later.
But the thinking of the Qin people was very different.
Once their fighting spirit was high, they fought and won consecutive battles. Knowing that General Zhao would lead this battle, they would definitely win, so they had no thought of defeat and no thought of retreat.
Secondly, the Qin army's military tactics were cruel enough to harm their families, so Qin soldiers did not dare to escape from the battle unless they had to.
If you die, you will not be able to join your team, if you die, you will not grow up, and if you die, your family will be disabled.
"Qi people killed my Paoze? Qi people killed my corps leader?"
"I'll fucking kill him!"
Every time one of the Qin soldiers died, the remaining people were not only unafraid, but became angrier.
That means that they have to cut off one more head to offset the punishment of Paoze dying in battle, and one less head will be counted when he is promoted.
The more the Qin army died, the greater the murderous intent of the remaining people and the stronger their combat effectiveness.
To them, the hatred felt by Paoze when he died in battle was comparable to having his own parents killed.
Under such circumstances, although the Qi army relied on the bravery of a thousand martial arts warriors, they gained the upper hand.
But soon, an endless stream of Qin soldiers surged up.
Not only did the Qin army not collapse, but its counterattack became more and more fierce.
The martial arts warriors relied on their metal armor and bravery to make them invincible in a single fight. However, on this battlefield, facing the Qin army's intertwined offensive and defensive formations, they were still beaten one after another when fighting alone.
Cut off and destroy.
"It's just the courage of an ordinary man."
As the Qin army formed its rear formation, Zhao Tuo looked away from the battlefield on the north side with a calm expression.
The Qi State had not fought in a war for decades. From the monarchs and generals to the low-level soldiers, they all had no experience in war. They thought that fighting was an enlarged version of group fighting, which excessively exaggerated the importance of individual bravery on the battlefield.
On a battlefield of more than 200,000 people, what role can a mere thousand men play?
Zhao Tuo's eyes finally fell on the south.
The area north of Pu River.
There, 20,000 Qin troops, composed of veterans who had conquered the Dai Kingdom and elites from Guanzhong, led by Shejian, were attacking the left flank of the Qi army.
"Da Sima, our gentleman's war has come to an end."
