Chapter 391 The Overall Situation Has Been Decided
The night is dark and windy.
"How far is it from Fanwu?"
"Less than twenty miles."
"Hurry, we must be ahead of the Qin army and capture Fanwu. We must not let the tens of thousands of Qin troops cross the Zhang River."
"promise!"
Hu Zou's army was divided into two parts. One group, led by him personally, crossed the Great Wall from Pingyang to capture Fanwu; the other group marched westward along the Zhang River, blocking the Qin army's return route.
The heavy blockade was to prevent the tens of thousands of Qin troops from retreating.
However, what Hu Sui didn't expect was that the prey he had set up to blockade and kill were already waiting in his path.
Li Xin looked at Zhao Jun hurriedly coming down the valley, his eyes extremely cold.
Qin Jun followed Zhao Shuang's instructions and lay down here, but Zhao Jun didn't notice at all.
Li Xin originally thought that Zhao Shuang's series of orders were just a young man's greed for merit. But now it seems that although Zhao Shuang's actions are all risky, there is a lot of confidence behind them. The other party knew the mountains, rivers and swamps of Zhao land very well. This kind of grasp of the fighter aircraft seems to be able to grasp the mountains and terrain in the palm of the hand, and it is as if the Qin army and the Zhao army are just dolls in the hands of the other party.
For a moment, Li Xin felt a little sad. He originally thought that among the future generals of the Qin army, there would be only one Wang Jian in front of him, but now, it seems that this is not the case at all.
"Zhao Shuang?"
"General, half of Zhao's army has passed through the valley."
At this moment, Zuo Jiang beside Li Xin woke up. And in an instant, Li Xin got out of that emotion, and his stern face showed murderous intent.
The cold sword edge was drawn out of the scabbard, exuding a chill in the dark night. The moment Li Xin drew out his long sword and swung it down, for a moment, the torches lit on both sides of the valley formed two long walls of night fire.
Li Xin could feel that when the Qin army appeared, the Zhao army in the valley was obviously panicked. In an instant, Li Xin already knew what kind of state these Zhao troops were in now.
Vulnerable!
"Thirty thousand arrows, all falling down. Defeat them!"
"promise!"
Fuyang Mountain.
Sima Shang stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the Qin army camp in the mountain. Sima Shang was tall and tall, and he looked like a mountain.
Zhao Jun arrived at the foot of Fuyang Mountain this morning, but Sima Shang was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, wait for daybreak and observe the situation first.
But the result surprised Sima Shang. In a short period of time, the generals of the Qin Army were able to utilize Zhao Army's old formation to such an extent.
The barriers are clear, and although they retreat, there is no trace of chaos.
The Qin army had tens of thousands of heavy armor and was stationed on high ground, so it naturally had an advantage over the Zhao army's cavalry. More importantly, the method of setting up the camp...
"General, the Qin army probably doesn't have many arrows left."
Li Zuo was wearing armor and stood beside Sima Shang. He easily saw the weakness of the Qin army and revealed it with one word. The Qin army fought a battle with the Zhao army at the foot of Handan City, and then retreated in a hurry. They set up formations on this mountain and could not receive supplies.
"It is better to wait for our soldiers to have breakfast before attacking immediately. Even if they cannot be attacked, it will still weaken the Qin army's spirit."
Sima Shang was a little speechless. Soon after, he turned his head and looked at Li Zuoche.
"Are you saying that the commander of the Qin army is actually Han Yangjun Zhao Shuang?"
"Yes." Li Zuoche looked at Sima Shang, seeming to see his doubts, "General, what's wrong?"
“Qin’s generals used Bai Qi’s art of war.”
When Sima Shang said this, Li Zuoche was shocked. Suddenly, he remembered his friend's military use in the past.
However, Sima Shang did not finish his words.
"Moreover, looking at the details, the opponent's method of setting up camps and deploying troops has the style of the two generals Lian Po and Pang Nuan."
Li Zuoche shook his head to dispel some strange thoughts in his heart.
"Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Pang Nuan are all famous generals in the world. In today's world, generals from all over the world are studying and even imitating their military tactics. Doesn't it seem to mean anything?"
Listening to Li Zuoche's words, Sima Shang temporarily put aside his doubts.
"The opponent really has mastered the essence of the three famous generals' military skills, or is he just like Zhao Kuo, who just makes a show and knows it with one attack."
On Fuyang Mountain, the Qin army was in the stronghold.
Amid the mountains, Zhao Shuang stood on the watchtower of Zhongzhai, where he could see the Zhao army array.
"Your Majesty, the Zhao army started attacking without even setting up camp."
Yang Duanhe stood beside Zhao Shuang and pointed to the foot of the mountain.
"It seems that the Zhao army deceived our army into running out of arrows, so they attacked first, hoping to weaken our army's energy."
"Your Majesty, our army's crossbows have been sent to Li Xin. If we want to get supplies, we have to transport them from Fanwu City. I don't know how the war is going over there?"
Yang Duanhe was a little worried. If that side wins, the Qin army will still have a way to survive; but if it loses, then the tens of thousands of Qin troops will not only be cut off from their armament, but they may also be surrounded by the Zhao army, and they will eventually have no choice but to die.
"Winning or losing will be decided today. Send all the arrows and long bows in Zhao Jun's old stronghold to the front stronghold. Tell the soldiers, don't worry, it's okay to shoot all the arrows. In this battle, first Make Zhao Jun energetic."
Zhao Shuang smiled and put his hands behind his back.
"Zhao Jun wants to test the strength of our army, let's see who is better!"
Zhao Jun's side cavalry was brave, but when faced with the task of attacking the mountain and building the stronghold, it was powerless and needed the infantry in front.
What Sima Shang didn't expect was that the Qin army's first wave of defense showed no sign of decline. What's more important is that the other party's attitude of not asking for money seems to be not that the weapons are running out, but that there are still millions of arrows in the village.
"strangeness!"
At this time, the situation was tense. Sima Shang saw that General Qin was not an easy person, but he was still very confused.
The interval between arrows pouring out is too short! In some places, there is no need to be so extravagant and can be used sparingly. However, Qin Jun's actions are a bit confusing, as if they are just to build momentum!
This doesn't look like he is out of control at all, but rather his attitude is somewhat aggressive.
"The Qin army doesn't look like they are going to confront our army. But the Qin army probably doesn't carry many arrows anymore, and the nearest supply place is also in Fanwu..."
Li Zuoche said something leisurely, also a little confused.
"Hu Zhe led the army, he should have arrived at Fanwu City!"
Originally, the battlefield expected by Sima Shang and others to fight the Qin army should be near Fanwu City, but they met here in advance.
What Sima Shang could understand was that the other party expected that Hu Zou would cut off the retreat, so he took the initiative to choose this battlefield that was beneficial to the Qin army; but what he could not understand was the other party's current attitude.
"Is there something wrong over there in Huzhuang?"
"Hu Zhe was defeated, but there are tens of thousands of troops. Is it possible that Fan Wu can't be captured?"
As soon as Li Zuoche finished speaking, a horn sounded from Zhao Jun's camp in the distance.
"That's...Qin Jun!"
Zhao Shuang looked at the cavalry coming for reinforcements from the southeast and smiled slightly.
"The overall situation here has been decided, it just depends on Que and that side!"
