Not to mention the ferocious general Shi Wansui slaughtering everyone in the center of the circular formation, outside the formation, Lord of Martial Peace Bai Qi left the watchtower of Wolf Mountain for the first time to personally command the army. Burning novel??? .? r? a? n?? e? n? `o? r? g?
The 200,000 strong army, under Bai Qi's command, broke through the circular formation layer by layer.
The circular formation lost its command center. Although it was still operating, it had lost the essence of the formation. It could no longer move like an arm and attack together. It was like a dead formation.
On the other hand, under Bai Qi's command, the Qin army combined their infantry and cavalry. Some formed a defensive formation, some charged forward, some attacked from the front and rear, some lured the enemy deep in, and some attacked from the front.
Bai Qi's command of the army was smooth like flowing water. Like a whole, they accurately nibbled away at the Zhao army within the formation. The Zhao army was separated into a few layers by the formation. Their previous advantage instantly turned into a disadvantage.
Zhao Zhuang escaped from the burnt command tower and tried to command the army again. Unfortunately, it was too late.
At the foot of the old pass, the earth-shattering battle started to heat up. Within the circular formation, battle cries shook the heavens. Dust billowed and the thin fog was stirred up by the army.
The fairyland in the morning instantly turned into hell.
Within a radius of ten miles, two hundred thousand Qin soldiers and one hundred thousand Zhao soldiers were entangled with each other. Black and red mixed together, moving and moving, fighting and killing each other. There was me in you and you in me, it was like a vivid painting.
The ground was the drawing board, the soldiers were the paint, and Bai Qi was the real painter.
As the battle progressed, the black started to gain the upper hand. Waves of black currents dispersed the red waves and surrounded them, starting a cruel encirclement.
Slowly, the red became thinner and thinner. Black became the main color. The messy red mixed in the black sea was like rootless duckweed, floating with the waves.
In the end, the circular formation had lost its effectiveness and the Zhao army was defeated.
Zhao Zhuang was also decisive. Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately gathered his army and retreated towards the old pass, trying to preserve the Zhao army's strength. The army fought and retreated and soon returned to the old pass.
Seeing that the Zhao army had abandoned the formation and escaped, Bai Qi gave the order to stop.
This battle could be said to be like a falcon descending from the sky.
After the battle, the Qin army managed to destroy the circular formation of Che City at the cost of ten thousand deaths, while the Zhao army left behind thirty thousand corpses and fled back to the old pass in a sorry state.
After the formation was broken, the rations that the Zhao army left in the formation naturally benefited the Qin army.
Bai Qi did not let his guard down. He gave the order to build a new camp at the foot of the old pass, using the resources from the circular formation as the foundation. It was called the Southern Line Camp, completely sealing off the Zhao army's path to the south.
After the great battle, Bai Qi moved the Middle Military Shogunate from Wolf Mountain to the Royal Mausoleum. Meng Ao's army, which was originally stationed at the Royal Mausoleum, joined up with Wang Ci's army and moved to the Southern Border Camp at the foot of the old pass.
As for the Steel Cavalry led by Huan Qi, they were stationed in the Royal Mausoleum as the main support for the army. At the same time, they were responsible for the safety of the army's rations.
The greatest heroes of this battle, the one thousand commandos, only four hundred people survived in the end. Of the seven hundred warriors of the Shanhai County Imperial Guard Brigade, only three hundred were left. One could see how tragic the battle was.
When Shi Wansui walked out of the formation, he looked like a man covered in blood. His entire body was covered in the blood of his enemies. Even his face was indistinguishable. He was like an Asura that walked out of hell.
The Qin soldiers looked at Shi Wansui, their eyes filled with reverence.
Ouyang Shuo also felt gratified. Be it the Battle of Zhuolu, the Battle of Muye, or the Battle of Changping, Shi Wansui was always able to stand up at the crucial moment and solve problems for him.
In the Battle of Zhuolu against Chiyou, in the Battle of Muye to build a steel defense line, and in the Battle of Changping, he was the vanguard of the assault. He was truly the God of War of the army, an iron-blooded warrior.
Seeing how fierce Shi Wansui was, E Lai also felt a surge of energy in his heart and wanted to find a chance to prove himself. The Rakshasa beneath him felt his master's fighting spirit and roared loudly, "Nian ~ ~ ~"
Ouyang Shuo looked at this scene in amusement and shook his head without saying a word. Once the circular formation of Che City was broken, the outcome was set. It was not far from the end of the Battle of Changping.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.
Inside Changping Valley, the battle on the north side started at the same time.
Zhao Kuo led the one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers guarding the old pass, and together with the fifty thousand guarding Hu Pass from the south, a total of two hundred thousand soldiers charged towards Ying Bao's camp like a sea of fire.
In an instant, the pressure on Ying Bao's camp increased greatly. Fortunately, the camp had been reinforced and remodeled during this period of time, and was now a fortress of iron and blood. All kinds of defensive weapons were densely arranged around the camp. Ying Bao was also a valiant general. He led the Qin soldiers and stubbornly repelled the attacks of the Zhao army time and time again.
For a moment, although the Zhao army had the upper hand, they could not break into the camp.
It looked like the battle to take down Ying Bao's camp was about to turn into a long and bitter battle. At this moment, the news of the circular formation of Che City being broken and the defeat of Zhao Zhuang's army reached Zhao Kuo's ears. It was like a bolt from the blue that made him dizzy. Zhao Kuo could not imagine how the peerless defensive formation was broken by the Qin army in such a short period of time.
With the circular formation of Che City broken, there were no more barriers on the south side of the old pass fortress, and it was now facing the threat of the Qin army. The fortress could be breached at any time, and the pressure on the Zhao army increased. Under such circumstances, how could Zhao Kuo attack Ying Bao's camp with peace of mind?
Before Zhao Kuo could think further, the Chief of Scouts reported another piece of bad news, "According to the scouts, a group of Qin army has suddenly bypassed Mount Taihang and entered through Hu Pass. Taking advantage of the time when the main defending force of Hu Pass fortress was heading south, they have already occupied Hu Pass. The ten thousand defending soldiers in the fortress have all been killed. "
When Zhao Kuo heard the news, he staggered and almost lost his balance. His face instantly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Seeing the Chief of Scouts in such a state, the Chief of Scouts was also filled with sorrow. It was not easy for the Zhao army to turn the tide of the battle, but in the blink of an eye, the situation had turned 180 degrees.
If it were anyone else, they would not be able to accept it in such a short period of time, let alone the proud Zhao Kuo.
After the fall of Wild King Fortress, King Zhao of Qin had recruited a new army in Hanoi. Bai Qi had not mobilized this secret army, but ordered them to travel north along Mount Taihang and wait for the right time.
Bai Qi's original plan was to use this army to hold back the reinforcements from the vassal states. Unexpectedly, the Wei army was so weak that they were utterly defeated by the one hundred thousand Qin cavalry. The five states in Shandong were scared out of their wits, and no reinforcements dared to march to Changping war zone.
Even so, considering that the Qin army in Changping war zone was more than enough to deal with the current situation. Bai Qi still did not mobilize this army to Changping, but ordered it to lie low.
According to Bai Qi's military style, he had not given up on besieging the Zhao army, which was why he came up with the Sixteen Words Strategy. In Bai Qi's eyes, Huguan had become the best breakthrough point.
Indeed, opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
Under Bai Qi's deliberate bait, the young Zhao Kuo could not resist the temptation to annihilate Ying Bao's army and achieve a glorious victory. Little did he know that he had already fallen into Bai Qi's trap.
The situation of the battle went smoothly according to Bai Qi's plan. The only accident was the circular formation that Zhao Kuo had set up, which troubled Bai Qi for a while.
Fortunately, with Ouyang Shuo's ingenious plan, the accident was eliminated, and the battle returned to Bai Qi's chessboard. With such a huge plan, no one except Bai Qi and the Qin generals could see the whole picture.
Because of this, Bai Qi was full of praise for Ouyang Shuo. If not for Ouyang Shuo's plan, Bai Qi's entire military plan would have been in vain.
Seizing the opportunity when the garrison of Huguan came out, the Qin army took over Huguan Fortress in one fell swoop, completely cutting off the Zhao army's only route back to Handan.
Now, after a series of arrangements, the battle miraculously returned to the situation at the beginning of the battle. The three hundred thousand Zhao soldiers were besieged by the four hundred thousand Qin soldiers at the old pass, unable to move.
To the north of the old pass, the hundred thousand Qin soldiers were stationed at Huguan Fortress; to the west, Ying Bao's camp was impregnable; to the south, the two hundred thousand Qin soldiers were stationed at the southern line and the royal tomb camp; to the east, there were mountains and lofty ridges where birds could not be seen.
After taking over Huguan Fortress, under Bai Qi's order, the hundred thousand Qin soldiers stationed at Huguan Fortress sent forty thousand Steel Cavalry to reinforce Ying Bao's camp, completely cutting off the possibility of the Zhao army taking over the camp.
"Retreat, return to the old pass!" After a long moment of silence, Zhao Kuo said in a barely audible voice.
At this critical moment, Zhao Kuo still retained a trace of rationality and did not forcefully attack Ying Bao's camp. The circular formation of Huguan Fortress was broken, and if the battle continued, the old pass would fall before Ying Bao's camp could fall.
By that time, the two hundred thousand Zhao soldiers would not have a camp to defend, nor would they have any reinforcements, and would truly be in a desperate situation, just like what happened before. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo could not help but shiver.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo had to retreat to Huguan Fortress while the Qin army was resting and reorganizing, hoping that the kingdom would send reinforcements to rescue them. After all, Huguan Fortress still had a month's worth of rations to supply the army.
As long as the Zhao army held their ground, the Qin army could forget about successfully taking over Huguan Fortress.
After the army retreated from the frontline, Zhao Kuo fell ill. He had a high fever and was delirious. The Zhao army had lost their backbone and was faced with a desperate situation. Their morale was at an all-time low.
Fortunately, Lord Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng, stood up and reassured the army.
Knowing that Huguan Fortress had been taken over by the Qin army, Di Chen and the rest were ashen. After a few rounds of fierce battles, the mutant army of Zhao had less than ten thousand men left. They could no longer control the outcome of the battle. All their plans had failed.
The only fortunate thing was that they had successfully subdued two of their generals. Di Chen personally went to Handan and used some unknown methods to successfully subdue Lian Po. With a dazzling performance, the Wolf Warriors successfully took over Zhao Village.
Only Zhao Kuo, although Lord Chunshen had triggered a mission, but with the current situation, it was still unknown whether he could be successfully subdued.
The show was about to come to an end! (To be continued.)
