Chapter 310 Chaos in the Central Plains (10)

Unlike traditional cavalry combat, the Yuezhi cavalry has a strong grassland style, skillful equestrians and powerful maneuverability, which makes these men on horseback a nightmare for infantrymen. Before the Zhao State soldiers could react, they were already penetrated by the rapid passing Yuezhi cavalry. Looking down from a high altitude, the dense crowd seemed to be plowed, and a flesh-and-blood alley was knocked out.

At this moment, the Qin soldiers in the camp suddenly rushed out, and the general jumped to the horse and lifted the reins. He held a long-handled machete and slashed left and right and still entered the uninhabited realm. A Zhao general next to him slapped forward and wanted to kill him, but the general roared machete and came first. With just one round, he killed General Zhao.

"Who dares to fight here, Qin general Bai Qi?"

Bai Qi said that he was Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shivered. How could Bai Qi be here? Didn't he say he had been dismissed and returned to Qin? A bad idea began to breed in his heart. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he still felt that he was afraid he was fooled.

Zhao Kuo read a lot of military books, which included ways to deal with infantry, ways to deal with cavalry, and ways to deal with conspiracies. However, when these were combined together, Zhao Kuo found in despair that there was no response strategy in the book that was completely consistent with him.

What to do What to do? The army has been cut into two sections. The Yuezhi cavalry has turned around and started to attack again. A large number of flags of the Later Qin army appeared on the edge of the battlefield in the distance. With their addition, a concave encirclement has formed a wall of people across it. Zhao Kuo saw that his Later Army had collapsed. Why did he do this? Didn’t he always think of it?

"Raise me for it." Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth, pulled out the decorative sword around his waist, and swayed it to rush forward. Before he could run two steps, the bearded general next to him grabbed the belt.

"If the general fights, he will be out of his way. Let's break through. There is no Qin army there. The last general is willing to leave the general behind the palace and leave quickly."

The bearded words were like cold water, which made Zhao Kuo cool, making the scholar who was red from the blood stimulation finally calm down. Looking at the bearded figure fighting to the death, Zhao Kuo breathed a long sigh and organized the remaining Zhao Bing to retreat to Mozi Mountain.

"Finally retreated." Bai Qi rode on the horse and shook the blood on the weapons hard, causing the drummers in the messenger camp to slow down the attack. After annihilated the last wave of resisting Zhao's army, the Qin army and Ying Guang's army surrounded Mozi Mountain in one place.

The expected strong attack did not happen. After occupying the foot of the mountain, the Qin army began to defend itself, as if planning to siege for a long time. No matter what the Qin people planned, Zhao Kuo was running around the mountain. The defense methods in the military books were as numerous as ox-haired. Zhao Kuo didn't care whether it was suitable or not. He commanded the soldiers to repair it. He picked up the water bag beside him when he was too tired. But until this time he realized that his water bag had been empty.

"Have you found the water yet?"

Send his personal soldiers to check the water source. Zhao Kuo sat on a big rock a little depressedly. The copper helmet on his head had long been thrown away. After collecting the damaged armor leaves, Zhao Kuo looked at the fire clouds in the sky and was in a daze. Not long ago, he was still under the name of a famous general and took Zhao's soldiers to defeat Bai Qi for ninety miles. But in just one day, everything changed.

"General, the brothers from the scout camp have already searched the mountain and found no water source." Zhao Kuo sent his personal soldiers who were looking for water for a few circles, but they did not find the water source, so he had to come back to report.

Zhao Kuo shouted with a ugly expression: "Digging wells and finding water, do you need to teach you that wastes are all a bunch of waste?" Zhao Kuo's heart was already occupied by fear. He knew very well that if there was really no water, the more than 100,000 Zhao troops who followed him up the mountain would really fall into a desperate situation. In less than three days, the Zhao army would mutiny without the Qin army attacking. When he thought of this terrible consequence, Zhao Kuo, who had always been calm, finally lost his composure.

"But, General, this... here is just a stone mountain, and you can't dig water at all..." The personal soldier did not notice Zhao Kuo's already ugly face, and said to himself.

"Shouyan"

Zhao Kuo pulled out the sword from his waist and said with a grim voice: "If anyone dares to disturb our morale again, he will kill him."

At this moment, a cheer suddenly came from the hillside, which made Zhao Kuo feel happy. Could it be that he found the water source and didn't bother to compete with the personal soldiers. Zhao Kuo raised his hem and ran quickly to the hillside. A long distance away, he saw Zhao soldiers surrounded by someone, walking towards the top of the mountain happily. It seemed that he had just escaped from the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that it had nothing to do with water, Zhao Kuo's enthusiasm suddenly subsided, but as the main general, it was hard to go back again, so Zhao Kuo forced himself to cheer up and continue to move downward.

The one who came back was the broken beard. The soldiers under his command fought for ten or ten, and he even wore several tricks. Fortunately, the man was desperate and finally escaped alive. He originally wanted to go up to pay homage to Zhao Kuo, but he didn't expect Zhao Kuo to come to the mountain to greet him in person. This made Wang Wang both panic and moved. He could only kneel on the ground from a distance, with his mouth open, but he couldn't shout anything.

"It's okay, it's okay, just come back alive, just come back alive"

Zhao Kuo naturally wouldn't say that he was coming out to find water. He followed the lead and helped his beard up with both hands. Seeing the blood mud on his face, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a disgusting feeling in his heart, but at this time he could not reveal his thoughts. Zhao Kuo had to endure the discomfort, patted Beard's shoulder with his hand, and praised: "You are very good, really good."

The beard felt the fatigue on his body swept away with Zhao Kuo's slap. He suddenly took a step back, knelt on one knee, and said, "General, when the general went up the mountain, he had already seen the Qin army's battalion. They had surrounded us for dozens of miles with Mozi Mountain. The general was not talented, and he was willing to lead the army forward to open the way and protect the general to break through the siege."

"Yeah, you said you looked at their military camp"

Zhao Kuo did not care about his disgust, so he stepped forward and pulled up his beard and asked in a low voice: "Can you estimate how many Qin troops are there at the foot of this mountain?"

Seeing this, Beard hesitated for a moment, then swept around with his eyes, and finally replied in a low voice: "I'll take a look at it... The Qin army at the foot of the mountain may be no less than 300,000."

"What"

Zhao Kuo's mind was blank to be continued.
