"Are you afraid?"

Zihu glanced at Zhiguo next to him, and was very surprised. The Zhizhi Patriarch, who was in danger after the death of his father and brother, was very wise and brave on weekdays. What he proposed, he didn't expect that there was something that scared him, was it the flaming army on the opposite side? Or the commander-in-chief of the army?

"Can you not be afraid..." Zhiguo has always considered herself to be weak, and she does not need to deny her cowardice like her father Zhiwenzi and her nephew Zhiyao are "strong". He raised his hand and shoved an arrow into his thigh, which would not hurt through the leather armor, but it still made his body feel pain, relieved his trembling from fear, and also drove away the previous swig of drinking from burning down the enemy's pontoon bridge. of drunkenness.

"The Zhao Jun on the opposite side is the master of a hundred battles who surrounded my nephew to death. His wisdom is like my father, but he is no match for Zhao Wuxi's tricks..."

"Zhao Wuxi..." Zihu pondered, and he was very curious about the distant relative of the same surname who was famous at a young age.

He is like a strange peak in this era, hidden in the thick fog. Some people say that he is a character like Duke Wen of Jin, who endured the shame of being expelled, and went abroad to fight a new world. After returning, he launched a violent revenge, killing his enemies and exterminating them. He can be regarded as a model for exiled sons and grandsons; Said he was a despicable villain who used shameless means to take Xinyanghu, betrayed him, and in the same way destroyed the Sanhuan of Lu State; others said he was an insatiable lecherous gangster, just like Duke Xiang of Qi, who even His relatives and sisters are not spared, and should be cast aside by the world... Some people say that he is cruel, he treats enemies ruthlessly, and he will be destroyed quickly, and some people say that he is wise and gentle, and loves the people like a son.

But no matter what the public opinion was, Zhao Wuxi was still a stone wall slowly pressing on the princes. It was indestructible and unstoppable. Dai Rong and Qi Guozheng couldn't stop it, and now it was Qin's turn.

Zhi Shi is no stranger to all of this, although Dan Shui fought a long battle, it was Wei Shi's defection that caused the war to turn around. But after escaping, Zhiguo had to admit that in the final analysis, they were inferior to Zhao in terms of strategy and strength.

Fortunately, Zhishi was lucky than Fan and Bank of China. Their remnants escaped to Hexi, and after surrendering to Qin, they were given shelter. They have slowly recovered their strength in the past four years, and at the same time, they are also preparing to take revenge on Zhao Weihan, especially the Wei clan!

The Qin State also attached great importance to the Zhi clan, not only entrusting Zhiguo with the important task of entrusting the vassal, but this time Jin attacked Hexi. And the determination to defend Hexi!

Zihu was quite optimistic, and encouraged Zhiguo: "As long as the Dragon Gate is guarded, Zhao Jun has nothing to do. Look, the mountains and rivers are strong and the treasure of the Qin state!" Just like the previous dynasties of Qin's monarchs and ministers, they were brooding about Hexi. Zihu has long regarded Hexi as Qin's inherent property.

What he didn't know was that his distant relatives with the same surname had already made an oath: "The dangers of rivers and mountains are not guaranteed. Today!"

When the first light of dawn shone on the dragon's gate, Qin and Zhi soldiers, who were overjoyed at burning down the enemy's pontoon bridge last night, rubbed their eyes and walked out of the camp. After a night of work, Zhao Jun's pontoon bridge extended a lot to this side again.

And Zhao Jun also assembled in the early morning, flags were fluttered, and preparations were made for the forced crossing...

…

"It seems that Zhao Jun is serious this time. Like the Wei family, they are determined to win in Hexi..."

After Zihu and Zhiguo looked at each other, they went down to make their own preparations. Zhiguo let himself dispel his fear, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and asked people to prepare rockets and other items. They had to send dead men to rush over and burn them down. , Zhao will set up a few times, and he will burn it a few times!

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise on the north side of the defenders of Qin and Zhidahe. It was the scouts from the north who came back. They suffered heavy losses and everyone was bloodied.

Horseback riding is not the patent of the Zhao family. The ancestors of the Qin people, Feizi, started out as shepherds. And as early as 200 years ago, Duke Wen of Qin commanded seven hundred cavalry to hunt in Wei and Wei. This tradition continued, and by the time of the Battle of Changping, they had dispatched 5,000 cavalry! Only a lot more than Zhao Guo dispatched.

It’s a pity that the Qin people of this era are still a little bit crooked in technology. After recovering the old land of the Western Zhou Dynasty, their nomadic nature was rapidly lost. Duke Mu of Qin imitated the system of the eastern princes, and even learned the chariot. quantity.

It was not until recent years that the cavalry of the distant relative Zhao with the same surname showed great brilliance and attracted the attention of the Qin people. They began to rearm their single cavalry, and were equipped with saddles and stirrups that were easy to imitate. This greatly improved the Qin people's combat effectiveness. The high grade also allowed them to have a flexible and mobile scout unit, placed on the flank, and discovered the whereabouts of the enemy in advance.

While discovering each other, they also revealed their whereabouts. The scouts were massacred by the rain of horses and arrows, and more than half of them were killed or injured. The remaining people brought back valuable news: someone was bypassing Liangshan, killing them here. Miles away!

"Damn it!" Zihu secretly said that it was not good. He brought not many people. The troops guarding the river were only five or six thousand, and they were scattered at several key points in the north and south to prevent accidents, and the rest were in Shaoliang. Suddenly attacked by thousands of enemies, the main force of the Zhao army on the other side also began to build pontoon bridges, and they may cross the river to come here at any time.

At this critical juncture, Zhiguo made the most correct choice, he said to Zihu: "I am too careless, to be right and to win, this is Zhao's usual method, Zuo Shuchang, withdraw troops. Bar!"

"withdraw troops?"

Zihu said with a tangled face: "There are no shoguns in Qin who will retreat without a fight. If I leave like this and lose my land and land, even if the emperor and the shogun forgive me, the old Qin people in Yongcheng will spit on them. my face!"

Zhiguo stomped his feet in a hurry: "If Zuo Shuchang stayed behind, he would be the sinner of Qin! The Zhao army is invincible in the field, and if they can't fight, they retreat slowly, retreat to Shaoliang City, and hold on to the city, maybe this is the only chance. There are not many Zhao troops, and there are nearly 10,000 guards in Shaoliang. Even if they break the city wall, they will not be able to help us in the street battle. If the Zhao army pursues, the Zuo Shuchang will naturally have the opportunity to fight against it! I will choose a good one for you. On the battlefield, defeat the strong enemy and prove your bravery!"

…

Zhao Wuxi stood in the boat and could see the situation in the Qin camp. They were evacuating in a hurry, but it was too late. The Zhao's cavalry came from the north. They chose a path among the bushes, crossed the antlers and ravines that blocked the road, and slowly flowed towards the Qin army camp like a thawed stream in a winter morning.

The Qin people at the rear of the palace quickly came forward. Their battle was incoherent. While shouting, they waved copper swords and wooden spears and rushed towards their opponents desperately. With a shout, a sword stabs an axe, kills one by one, and then dies heroically, in terms of momentum, it is indeed a "tiger and wolf teacher".

But it's just as fierce as a beast.

Zhao Wuxi heard You Wuzheng talk about the way the Qin people fought. This is a sturdy state, and there has always been a private fight among the people, which makes them fight fiercely. The professional army that harvested the enemy's life in an orderly manner has become a vain death...

"Qin Formation is scattered and fights itself"! This is their biggest criticism, there is no order, and it is no wonder that Wu Qi of the later generations can fight with one enemy ten, and the Qin people dare not go east. It was not until Shang Yang brought various laws regulating personal life to the behavior of clans to the Qin state, sacrificing etiquette and advocating the first merit, that these northwestern Han who fought separately were united into a whole, creating an invincible "Tiger and Wolf Teacher".

The Zhao family was lucky, they met the incomplete Qin, a western prince with a full **.

The Qin people's rear troops were only more than a thousand, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com quickly collapsed under the impact of the same number of cavalry and the fierce charge of Tian Ben's handsome and powerful soldiers. They resisted stubbornly and vowed not to surrender, but they were directly stepped on by the attackers. With less than one-tenth of the enemy's strength, they launched a counter-charge towards the Zhao army only to delay their pursuit. After the rain, they also fell down, leaving only the horses without owners to flee helplessly in panic.

Because of the tenacity of the Qin people, the battle was slow. When the Zhao army stepped onto the pontoon, the main force of the enemy's river-guarding force had already withdrawn and fled.

"Chase!" Zhao Wuxi jumped onto the river bank, and when Youcheng and Tian Ben came to plead guilty, he only gave such an order. The Qin army knew that the army retreated in a hurry. !

"Send out more scouts along the way, be careful everywhere, Qin people should not be underestimated, if there is something wrong, don't be greedy, stop chasing immediately!" After thinking for a while, he warned them again, but the warning didn't come up. to the effect.

When the Zhao army all landed and started occupying the Qin people's camp, Zhao Wuxi got the news from the chasing troops: they found an ambush set by Zhiguo in a mountain pass ten miles away from Shaoliang, riding on the dead. More than a hundred, Tian Ben was seriously injured!
