Chapter 1219: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Nine) Small Victory

Jiang Fu knew that his captain was full of hatred for the Qin people, because his son was buried alive by the Qin people. It was not just a life that was buried, but all the expectations of Crab for life. With Crab's age and family background, it would be difficult for him to find a wife. His family was extinct, that was a foregone conclusion. Despair of fate made Crab not take his own life seriously, and naturally he would not take other people's lives seriously.

Although he usually bullied himself, he still took good care of himself today and asked him to follow him. Although he only shouted, Jiang Fu was still very moved. He felt that this sentence was worth the bullying he had suffered. He approached Crab. At this time, he saw that on the other side, an unknown soldier from the first team was also approaching Crab. Although they did not practice it, at this moment, they all consciously blocked Crab's fatal attacks again and again. Two people defended, Crab attacked, and the three of them naturally formed an attack and defense team.

If there was a veteran of the Han army here at this time, he could easily recognize that this was the infantry group attack and defense tactics that the Han army infantry usually practiced the most. Although they were still a little bit immature, they had already taken shape. As long as they fought two more battles, they would definitely be experienced on the battlefield.

Veterans were trained in this way. This kind of spontaneous group cooperation on the battlefield was more impressive than that gained on the training ground, because it was experience gained with blood and life.

This is Taiping Creek, the first line of defense for the Zhao army to defeat the Qin army. The main battlefield Changping is still more than ten miles away from here. Gao Yuan naturally would not allow the Qin army to directly launch an unscrupulous attack on Changping, which was a sign of weakness. At the same time. He also wanted to use field battles to let these Zhao soldiers regain the feeling on the battlefield.

The Zhao army's training level is not bad, but the lack of it is the spirit. At yesterday's ceremony, Gao Yuan had already found this spirit for them. Now, it is to sublimate this spirit again and let all the Zhao army realize that they are not worse than the Qin people.

On the battlefield of Taiping River, the infantry of both sides were entangled. There was a killing field with blood and flesh flying everywhere. At this moment, the small Taiping River seemed to have become an insurmountable natural moat, which prevented the aggressive Qin army from advancing an inch.

Xu Yahua frowned and looked at the fierce battlefield. He was quite confused. He thought that the battle that could be defeated in one blow was still entangled at this moment, and there was no hope of victory. The Zhao army was indeed at a disadvantage and was forced to retreat bit by bit by the Qin army. However, on the road where the Qin army advanced, the numerous corpses and the trickling blood left behind did not make him feel any joy of taking a small advantage.

Could it be that Gao Yuan really had some magic? What kind of army can be changed immediately when it comes to his hands? As the garrison commander of Hangu Pass, he knows very well what kind of character the Western Zhao army is, and he has never taken them seriously. In Xu Yahua's view, since Bai Qi killed tens of thousands of elite Zhao troops in Changping, the Zhao army has become a soft crab, no matter in terms of fighting skills or fighting will. There is no need to worry.

But this battle,

made him begin to lose confidence in his judgment. The fight in front of him seemed to make him see the evenly matched battle between Qin and Zhao many years ago when they were fighting for hegemony.

The loss is too great! Xu Yahua said to himself in his heart.

It's not worth it. This is just a small contact war. The total force of both sides is only a few thousand people. Taiping Creek is not a strategic point that must be seized. It is not worth it to fight to the death with the opponent here.

Moreover, he wanted to figure out why the Zhao army's fighting power suddenly jumped to a higher level. If the tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers in Changping were in this state, then it would be a cause for concern.

"Sound the gong, and withdraw the troops." He said to the deputy general beside him.

The sound of the golden gong rang out, and the Qin army, which had a slight advantage, suddenly pressed forward. Taking advantage of the moment when the Zhao army was shrinking, they quickly retreated and broke away from the contact cleanly. Then one part covered and the other retreated. The fierce feathers shot out of the formation, causing the Zhao army's steps that were originally ready to counterattack to stagnate.

Crab waved the axe and continued to charge forward. When the rain of arrows flew, if Jiang Fu beside him hadn't stretched his leg to trip him upside down, he would definitely have been shot into a honeycomb. When he fell, the chi chi rain of arrows rushed to him, and the nearest one was only a foot away from his scalp.

"Why the hell did you trip me?" The crab lying on the ground was looking at Jiang Fu angrily. The feather arrow pierced his head with a sound. Then the feather arrows rained down on the open space in front of them, making it so dense that he could hardly put his feet in. The crab swallowed the more unbearable insults behind him.

"Fuck him, I owe you a life."

Jiang Fu laughed, and his blood-stained face was indescribably hideous because of this laugh. The crab actually thanked him, although his tone was still so bossy and impolite.

"We are comrades-in-arms, and this is what I should do." Jiang Fu said: "Listen, captain, we are also calling off the troops."

When the crab got up from the ground, he really heard the sound of the rear team calling off the troops. At that moment, many of his comrades who counterattacked with him had turned into hedgehogs and lay quietly on the ground. Some of them were not hit in the vital parts and were rolling on the ground and shouting.

"Damn it, the arrows are so accurate!" Crab gasped. He was really brave to be able to accurately shoot the arrows in the open space between the two armies without hurting his own people. If there is a slight deviation, one's own troops will be accidentally injured.

"Retreat, retreat!" As soon as the enthusiasm for the battle faded away, what was left was the joy of surviving. Crab's bloody courage gradually faded at this moment. He turned around and looked at his team, and only Jiang Fu was left. , but he couldn't recognize the other person standing next to him.

Jiang Fu was very happy. Speaking of this battle, he only killed one Qin soldier with his own hands, but under his cover, Crab's big ax killed at least *. He felt that he had returned to his roots. , at least I have avenged my brother, and the only thing left is to ask for some interest. As long as he is still alive, he can continue to ask for more interest from the people of Qin.

The first confrontation in the Battle of Changping lasted only half a day and ended with the Qin people retreating first. However, the Zhao army did not hold on at Taiping River. After breaking away from the battle, they surprised the Qin people. They retreated in large strides, and did not stop until they reached Lotte Creek. Here, they were reinforced by a force, bringing the entire forward force to 10,000 troops.

"The fighting power of the Zhao people suddenly seemed to have changed. It's hard to believe that this Zhao army is still the weak force we remembered." Xu Yahua said to Lu Chao and other people in the tent. The general of the Qin army said: "The battle at Taiping Creek made me look at them with admiration. General, we must be more vigilant. I always feel that there is something fishy here."

In the Battle of Taiping Creek, the losses of the two sides were 1.5 to 1, which made Xu Yahua feel a little heartbroken. He really fulfilled the old saying, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself. Even if we win this kind of battle, there is nothing gratifying.

"It's just the same old game. Now I understand why Gao Yuan chose Changping as the main battlefield." Lu Chao stared at the map. "It turns out that besides being dangerous and better defended than Jinyang City, there is another place here." The same thing."

"What?" Xu Yahua asked strangely. "Although Changping is dangerous, both they and we are very familiar with the terrain here. There are no secrets."

"Bai Qi!" Lu Chao said simply.

There was a sound of inhalation in the tent, Lu Chao uttered the word "Bai Qi", and everyone immediately understood that Bai Qi killed tens of thousands of Zhao troops in Changping in one breath, completely breaking the backbone of Zhao Guo. The graves of tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers are not far outside Changping City.

"Gao Yuan used the mourning soldier move, using the deaths of tens of thousands of Zhao Jun as a weapon to motivate Zhao Jun. I have to say that he succeeded." Lu Chao said with a smile: "Zhao Jun really broke out with what he wanted. General Xu’s combat power also surprised you.”

"This Gao Yuan is indeed a master of psychological tricks. Zhao Jun asked him to inspire morale, which is not a good thing for us." Xu Yahua frowned.

"The so-called mourning for soldiers is a momentary pain. One surge of energy, then weakened, and three times exhausted. General Xu, you took the initiative to retreat to avoid its edge. You did a very good job. How long can Zhao Jun's encouragement last? When our army presses the border, the former Pain may boost morale, but it may also make them feel greater fear, fearing that they will become another part of that huge grave, so there is nothing to worry about," Lu Chao said: "That's it. A double-edged sword may hurt the enemy or ourselves, or we may encounter some troubles in the early stages of the battle, but as long as we grit our teeth and overcome this hurdle, the current Zhao army cannot fight against the wind at all. As long as we let When they are in trouble and fearful, they are bound to be defeated."

"General, why don't we attack Jinyang City in one part? Jinyang City is the capital of Western Zhao. Now Gao Yuan has pulled all the Zhao army to Changping. The defense of Jinyang City is weak. We pretend to attack. Is it possible for him to do so?" Should we just let them go? As long as they come out, we can defeat them in the field," General He Zhang suggested.

Lu Chao smiled and said, "General He, do we care about Jinyang City?"

He Zhang shook his head.

"In the same way, Gao Yuan doesn't care about Jinyang City. Even if we beat Jinyang City to pieces and burn it to a white ground, he doesn't care at all. As long as the people he cares about are still in his hands, it will be fine. If we divide our forces to attack Jinyang City, Yangcheng, there are too few people, it will not work. Don’t forget, until now, we have not caught any trace of his two cavalry divisions. Whether they are Huns or Donghu people, they are all coming and going. The wind is much stronger than our cavalry. It will be a thankless task to separate our troops. My goal is to bite their main force and eat their main force. Will Jinyang City be able to fly? "(To be continued)
