Chapter 279 Covering the Encirclement and Suppression

Not to mention the powerful general Shi Wansui was in the center of the Checheng Round Formation, and outside the formation, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi left Langshan Wanglou for the first time and went to the front line to command the army.

The 200,000 army, under Bai Qi's command, broke through the Checheng round formation layer by layer.

The Checheng Round Formation lost its command center. Although it was still barely operating, it had lost the essence of the formation and could no longer be able to do it like an arm command, splitting and attacking, like a dead formation.

On the contrary, under Bai Qi's command, the Qin army combined the infantry and cavalry, either formed a formation to defend, or advanced the iron cavalry, attacked forward and backward, lured the enemy into deep, or raided the front.

In all these things, General Bai Qi commanded the flowing water, just like a whole, accurately eroding the Zhao army in the formation step by step. The Zhao army was separated by the formation into several layers, and its previous advantages instantly turned into disadvantages.

Zhao Zhuang escaped from the burned military order building and tried to re-direct the army, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.

Therefore, at the foot of the pass, the thrilling contest began to enter a white-hot stage. In the round formation of the chariot city, the sound of killing shook the sky, the smoke and dust rolled, and the thin fog was stirred up and down by the army.

The fairyland in the early morning instantly turns into a hell in the underworld.

Within a radius of ten miles, 200,000 Qin troops and 100,000 Zhao troops were intertwined, black and red mixed together, moving around and fighting each other. You have me and I have you, like a vivid sketch.

The earth is the painting board, the soldiers are the paint, and Bai Qi is the real painter.

As the battle progressed, black began to gain the upper hand, and a stream of black torrents spread the red waves, and then divided them into pieces and encircled them to launch a cruel encirclement.

Slowly, red became thinner and thinner, and black began to become the main color. The messy red was mixed in the Black Sea, like rootless duckweed, floating with the waves.

At the end of the battle, the Checheng round formation had completely failed and the Zhao army was defeated.

Zhao Zhuang was also decisive. Seeing that things were not done, he immediately gathered the army and retreated to the ancient pass, striving to preserve the Zhao army's vitality. The army fought and retreated, and soon retreated back to the ancient pass.

The defeated enemy did not pursue him. Seeing that the Zhao army abandoned the formation and fled, Bai Qi ordered the pursuit to stop.

This battle can be called a slump in the air.

According to statistics after the war, the Qin army broke the Checheng round formation at the cost of 10,000 deaths. The Zhao army left more than 30,000 corpses and fled back to the old pass in a panic.

After breaking the formation, the food and supplies left by the Zhao army in the formation were naturally cheaper than the Qin army.

Bai Qi did not relax and ordered that a camp be rebuilt at the foot of Guguan based on the materials of the Checheng Round Formation, which was shortened to completely lock the Zhao army's way southward.

After the war, Bai Qi moved the central army's shogunate from Langshan to Wangling Camp. It turned out that Meng Ao's army, which was originally stationed in Wangling Camp, gathered with Wang He's army and entered the southern camp at the foot of Guguan.

As for the iron cavalry led by Huan He, they settled in the Wangling camp as the general support of the entire army, and were also responsible for protecting the safety of the army's food route.

The biggest contributor to this battle, one thousand commandos, survived only more than 400 people. The 700 warriors in the Shanhai County Imperial Guard Brigade were left, with less than 300 people, which shows how tragic the scene of the fight was at that time.

When Shi Wansui walked out of the formation, he was like a blood man, covered in the blood of the enemy, and even his face could not be clearly distinguished, just like Shura walking out of hell.

The Qin soldiers looked at Shi Longsui with respect in their eyes.

Ouyang Shuo was also very pleased. Whether it was the Battle of Zhuolu, the Battle of Muye, or the current Battle of Changping, Shi Wansui could always stand up at a critical moment and solve the problem for him.

The Battle of Zhuolu vs. Chiyou, the Battle of Muye builds a steel defense line, and the Battle of Changping is the assault vanguard. He is really the God of War in the army and the Iron-blooded warrior.

Ei came to see Shi Wansui so powerful, and he was also holding a sense of energy in his heart, wanting to find an opportunity to prove it. The Rakshasa beneath felt the master's fighting spirit and roared high: "Nian~~~"

Ouyang Shuo looked at this scene with amusement, shook his head and said nothing. Once the Checheng round formation was broken, the overall situation was decided, and it was not far from the end of the Battle of Changping.

***************

Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.

In Changping Valley, fierce battles were in full swing, and the battle to the north started at the same time.

Zhao Kuo led 150,000 Guguan defenders and joined 50,000 Huguan defenders who went south, totaling 200,000 troops, like a sea of ​​fire, heading straight towards Yingbao camp.

The pressure on Yingbao camp increased rapidly and the dangers continued. Fortunately, after this period of reinforcement and transformation, the camp was already an iron-blooded fortress, with all kinds of city-defying equipment arranged in dense arrangements. Yingbao was also an iron-blooded general, leading the Qin army soldiers and tenaciously repelled the Zhao army's attacks again and again.

For a moment, although the Zhao army had the advantage, it was unable to break into the camp.

As he saw that the battle to capture Yingbao camp was about to turn into a long-term hard battle. At this moment, the round formation of Checheng was broken and the news that Zhao Zhuang's army was defeated and the news came to Zhao Kuo's ears, like a bolt from the blue, causing Zhao Kuo to be dizzy. Zhao Kuo could never have imagined how the unparalleled defensive formation was broken by the Qin army in a short time.

Once the Checheng round formation was broken, there was no barrier in the south of the fortress. Facing the threat of the Qin army, it was possible to be attacked by the Qin army at any time, and the pressure on the Zhao army increased. In this situation, how could Zhao Kuo be at ease to attack the Yingbao camp?

Unable to let Zhao Kuo think about it carefully, the scout general then reported a bad news: "The scout came to report that a Qin army suddenly bypassed the Taihang Mountains and broke into the caliber of Hu. While the main force of the Huguan Fortress was heading south, they had occupied Huguan. All 10,000 defenders in the fortress were killed."

When Zhao Kuo heard the news, his feet staggered and he was about to stand steadily. His face was pale in an instant without a trace of blood. A sense of despair appeared in his eyes.

Seeing the general's expression, the scout general was also worried. The Zhao army finally reversed the battle situation, but in a flash, the battle situation changed by another 180 degrees.

If it were anyone, it would not be acceptable for a while, let alone Zhao Kuo, who has always been arrogant.

After the fall of the Yewang Fortress, King Zhao of Qin recruited a new army in Hanoi. Bai Qi did not start this secret army, but asked them to go north quietly along the Taihang Mountains, waiting for the opportunity.

Bai Qi's original plan was to use this army to restrain and block the reinforcements from various vassal states. Unexpectedly, the Wei army was so vulnerable that it was beaten by the Qin army's 100,000 cavalry, which was frightened by the five Shandong countries. No reinforcements dared to go to the Changping War Zone.

Even so, considering that the Qin army in the Changping War Zone was sufficient, it was still enough to deal with the current battle situation. Bai Qi did not transfer this army into Changping, but let the army lurk.

According to Bai Qi's marching style, he still did not give up his siege of the Zhao army, so he decided to break the enemy's strategy. Huguan became the best breakthrough point in Bai Qi's eyes.

Sure enough, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Under Bai Qi's intentional temptation, the young Zhao Kuo still couldn't help but want to annihilate the Ying Bao army and achieve a brilliant victory. However, he had already fallen into the trap set by Bai Qi.

The battle situation went smoothly according to Bai Qi's deduction. The only accident may be that the Checheng round formation set up by Zhao Kuo made Bai Qi very upset for a while.

Fortunately, under Ouyang Shuo's wonderful ideas, the accident was eliminated, and the battle situation returned to Bai Qi's chessboard. With such a huge arrangement, no one can get the whole picture except Bai Qi and the generals of the Qin army.

It is precisely this that Bai Qi would highly appreciate Ouyang Shuo. Because if it weren't for Ouyang Shuo's plan, Bai Qi's entire military plan would have been wasted.

Seizing the opportunity when the Huguan defenders left the pass, the Qin army seized the Huguan fortress in one fell swoop, completely cutting off the Zhao army's food and grass passage and the only passage for the Zhao army to return to Handan.

At this point, after some arrangement, the battle situation magically returned to the scene at the beginning of the battle. The 300,000 Zhao army was besieged by 400,000 Qin army and could not move.

Therefore, to the north of the pass, 100,000 Qin troops were stationed at Huguan; to the west, the Yingbao camp was as solid as a god; to the south, 200,000 Qin troops were stationed at the southern line camp and the Wangling camp; to the east, there were mountains and steep birds, extinct.

After capturing Huguan, the 100,000 Qin troops stationed in Huguan, under Bai Qi's order, distributed 40,000 iron cavalry to reinforce Yingbao camp, completely cutting off the possibility of Zhao army capturing it.

"Retreat the troops and return to the old gate!" Zhao Kuo said in an inaudible voice after being silent for a long time.

At the critical moment, Zhao Kuo still maintained a little rationality and did not forcibly attack the Yingbao camp. The round formation of the Checheng City was broken and then continued. Before the Yingbao camp fell, the pass would fall first.

By then, the 200,000 Zhao troops had no camps to defend and no food and grass to support them, and they were really in desperate situations, which was exactly the same as the previous scene. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shivered.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo must take advantage of the Qin army's reorganization to retreat to the Guguan fortress in time and guard it according to the Guguan, hoping that reinforcements can be recruited in the country to rescue him. No matter what, there is still food and grass in the Guguan fortress for a month.

As long as the Zhao army could not stand firm, the Qin army would not be able to successfully capture the fortress of the ancient pass.

After the army retreated from the front line, Zhao Kuo became ill, had a high fever and was confused. The Zhao army lost its backbone and faced a desperate situation, and its morale dropped to its lowest point in history.

Fortunately, at this time, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng stood up to calm the morale of the army.

When they learned that Huguan was occupied by the Qin army, Di Chen and others looked as if they were dead. After several rounds of fierce battles, the Yi Ren Legion of Zhao's camp had less than 10,000 people and could no longer control the situation. All plans were all failed.

The only thing that is fortunate is that he successfully subjugated two generals. Di Chen rushed to Handan in person, but he used all means to successfully subjugate Lian Po. The Wolf Warrior successfully captured Zhao Zhuang with his dazzling performance.

Only Zhao Kuo, although Chunshenjun triggered the mission, is still unknown whether the current situation can be successfully conquered.
