Dama Mountains, Xingdao on the southwest side.

Zhao Kuo rode his horse and looked at the green grassland in the distance, expressing his feelings.

"If Da Zhao takes over this place in the future, this marquis must build a city here to guard the place."

In Zhao Kuo's view, it is undoubtedly a very wrong approach for the Yan people to build only a small pass here.

A powerful military fortress must be established here to effectively protect the security of Jidu.

Xu Li nodded and agreed with Zhao Kuo's words: "This place is indeed extremely dangerous, but the war between Yan State and the northern Donghu mainly revolved around western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, so they probably did not pay special attention to this place."

Zhao Kuo sighed: "Western Liao, Liaodong is actually just a small problem.

I don’t know how the Yan State was beaten by Shanrong back then, but I don’t know how to learn from the lessons, that is, this marquis destroyed the Xiongnu and the Donghu. Otherwise, if these two tribes were made strong and unified the grassland, wouldn’t this road be like an open gate, allowing cavalry to enter and exit?"

From a historical perspective, Zhao Kuo felt that Yan State had made a significant mistake.

During the Xiongnu era, the Yan State was located in one of the areas that were often robbed. Countless Xiongnu cavalry roared down from here and entered the Hebei Plain, causing endless suffering to the Chinese people there.

At this moment, a Chiyou army scout rushed over, turned over and knelt in front of Zhao Kuo, and said respectfully: "Master, the information I just discovered is that the Donghu rebel cavalry is less than twenty miles away from here."

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and said, "Where is the main force of the Yan army?"

The cavalry of Chiyou Army hurriedly said: "It is not clear yet, but what is certain is that the main force of the Yan army is at least fifty miles away from here."

It is undoubtedly a very normal thing for cavalry to move faster than infantry.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said to Xu Li beside him: "Uncle Xu, our first dish is delivered to your door."

Xu Li laughed and said, "Li Mu went to Ji as a suspicious soldier to attract the attention of the Yan people. If he knew that we had eaten a big dish here, he would probably be envious."

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "I have given him the latest version of gunpowder. Theoretically, he was able to break through Jidu with three thousand cavalry, which is not surprising to me.

Pass the order down, the entire army ambushed and ready to attack."

On both sides of this road were wide hills in later generations, and now there are extremely dense forests. Even though there are 20,000 cavalry hidden among them, there is still no flaw in it from the outside.

This is the first ambush place set up by Zhao Kuo! The essence of mobile warfare is to mobilize the enemy and make the enemy flaws appear.

Now, there are flaws in the very anxious joy.

In order to step up the rush to assist Jidu, Lejian ordered more than 10,000 Donghu rebels, who were more mobile, to break away from the main force, to take the lead in rushing for assistance.

This actually formed a situation of fighting each other, providing the Zhao army with the main force of the Yan army and the Donghu rebels.

An hour later, the dense sound of horse hooves sounded and slowly approached from a distance.

From the messy formations and banners, as well as the extremely messy and uncovered sweaters of the horse knights, you can tell that the Donghu cavalry arrived.

The cavalry of Donghu were still very fast at the beginning, but after entering the hills from the grassland, they slowly slowed down.

Zhao Kuo in the woods watched calmly as these Donghu cavalry slowly entered his encirclement and then issued an order.

"Go ahead."

The next moment, three extremely sharp arrows soared into the sky, causing a harsh sound in the air.

Then, countless Zhao army knights who had long been unable to hold back roared out and rushed towards the Donghu cavalry.

"Punish the rebels!"

"Kill the Hu bandits!"

Amid the shocking shouts, arrows fell from both sides like raindrops and fell down towards the Donghu cavalry, instantly causing many Donghu cavalry to be caught in the arrows.

The Donghu people obviously never expected such a situation to happen.

An elder of Donghu shouted angrily: "This damn Lejian, didn't he say that the army of Zhao people is under Jidu? Why did it appear in this place that is more than 200 miles away from Jidu?"

The answer to this Donghu elder was a sharp arrow.

"puff!"

With an extremely dull sound of flesh entering the flesh, the arrow penetrated directly into the elder Donghu's chest. He didn't even have time to say even one word, and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Not far away, an extremely excited cheer came out: "Look at that elder Donghu, I shot to death!"

The entire war situation was one-sided from the beginning.

The Zhao army, who was ambushing here early, immediately concentrated heavy troops to rush down from the entrance of the valley, directly cutting off the main retreat of Donghu in the valley.

On both sides, the Zhao army even used the condescending terrain to continuously use a large number of arrows to harvest the Donghu army wildly.

The Donghu Army in the valley is now like a long snake that is constantly rolling and struggling, but it cannot escape from the palm of the hunter Zhao Jun.

Finally, the Donghu people's positions completely collapsed.

All the Donghu people began to leave their formation and flee in all directions.

Some Donghu people wanted to try to rush the mountain and break through the Zhao army's sniper line, but the result of this was that they were shot to death by Zhao army's arrows on the way to rush the mountain.

Some Donghu people wanted to try to turn around and attack the valley entrance that was firmly controlled by the Zhao army, and wanted to break through the valley entrance and gain a way out.

However, the two thousand Chiyou Army under Zhao Kuo's command were responsible for guarding the valley entrance! Due to the restrictions of the terrain, the Chiyou Army did not wear heavy armor this time.

But this also made Chiyou Army more flexible and agile.

The combat effectiveness of the Chiyou Army has never been just about rushing into the formation.

Zhao Kuo has always been a positioning of Chiyou's army - an all-around ace cavalry! The Chiyou's army used sweat and blood to fully implement Zhao Kuo's positioning.

After several rounds of Chiyou's volleys, the Donghu army, who had originally wanted to escape, fell down neatly like harvested wheat, and the corpse and blood filled the entire valley.

The Donghu people completely collapsed.

You can't beat it or escape it. What should you do?

In extreme despair, some Donghu people chose to fight desperately, while most of the remaining Donghu people chose to surrender! The victory and defeat were completely decided.

Zhao Kuo looked at this scene and gradually smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly to Xu Li beside him: "This battle, I don't need prisoners."

These Donghu rebels were originally the people of Donghu County of Zhao State, but they betrayed Zhao State under the instigation of the Donghu elders and killed a large number of Donghu people who were loyal to Zhao State and were willing to be good people of Zhao State.
