Chapter 160 You seem to have chosen the wrong target
To be honest, there aren't many people left in the Zhao army. After so many years of consumption, both Qin and Zhao are under great pressure.
Zhao's granaries were already empty, border villages were deserted, and even the war horses were skinny. Although Qin was a powerful country, the people were exhausted by years of war.
This time the Zhao army took the initiative to attack, but it seems they can't hold on any longer.
but!
It doesn’t matter?_?.
Do you think I am still the Qin army I was before?
After several years of rest and training, the Qin army's combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be.
Not to mention that you don’t have as many people as I do, even if you have more than me, what does it matter?
Bai Qi stood in front of the sand table, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Seven days later, the Zhao army stopped and set up camp thirty miles outside Guanglang City.
As the sun sets, the blood-red setting sun illuminates the flags of the Zhao army camp in the distance.
Bai Qi stood on the hillside, looking at the Zhao army in the distance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a hint of sarcasm.
"Nan'er, why do you think the Zhao army abandoned the fortified city and instead sought a battle with our army in the field?" Bai Qi turned his head to look at Gu Nan beside him, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
Gu Nan pondered for a while, his eyes swept across the Zhao army camp in the distance, and his brows slightly frowned.
"According to the information, the main general this time is Zhao Kuo. He might be too young and has no experience in leading troops. Is he here to deliver the troops?" She shrugged, her tone relaxed.
Humph, I have General Lu Mingfei to back me up, so the Zhao army can’t do anything!
But to be honest, Gu Nan and Lu Mingfei have also been very strange these two days. According to history, Zhao Kuo should be leading the main force of Zhao State waiting at Changping Pass.
At least Changping was in a strategic location, and holding the pass would still be enough to last for a while. But now, Zhao Kuo took the initiative to attack, even giving up the geographical advantage.
"Something's wrong..." Lu Mingfei muttered softly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt of the sword.
But Gu Nan didn't want to think too much about it now. She only knew that her super brain now allowed her to use super powers.
Her body is as hard as cast iron, having long surpassed the limits of ordinary people, plus it has the energy shield of hundreds of years of internal strength.
Without mentioning anything else, she could kill seven rounds of enemies in the Zhao army camp by herself.
Seven laps!
After a ten-minute break, you can still kill seven more laps!
"Who cares? Since we've brought it to our door, don't blame us for being rude."
Gu Nan grinned.
Without waiting for the Zhao army's camp to be repaired, Lu Mingfei, Gu Nan and others led the vanguard cavalry to attack the camp that night.
The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and only sporadic torches were swaying in the wind.
The Qin cavalry approached the Zhao camp quietly like ghosts, with cloth wrapped around their horses' hooves, making almost no sound.
The beast Finkel rode ahead at a speed far ahead, holding a big knife in his hand that flashed with cold light. After charging into the camp, he advanced left and right among the Zhao army, just like the second brother Guan in the world.
His warhorse neighed and charged into the enemy camp. With a flash of his sword, several Zhao soldiers were beheaded before they could react.
"Kill!" Finkel roared, his voice like thunder, causing pain in the eardrums of the surrounding Zhao army soldiers.
This time they went straight to Zhao Kuo's camp. Lu Mingfei's 5,000 men were just to cause chaos in the Zhao army. The key was the main force led by Bai Qi at this moment.
Strive to win in one battle!
The Qin cavalry stabbed into the Zhao camp like sharp knives, their iron hooves crushed the tents, and their spears pierced through the shields. The Zhao soldiers had just woken up from their sleep and were scattered before they could organize an effective defense.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The Zhao army's horn sounded shrilly, but it was too late.
Lu Mingfei led the way, his long sword wielding like a dragon, blood splattering wherever the sword passed. His eyes were stern, but he was somewhat puzzled in his heart - this battle was going too smoothly.
After a fierce fight, Lu Mingfei became more and more confused.
Damn, how come it went so smoothly?
Why do I feel that this group of Zhao troops is a little too easy to fight?
The defenders in Guanglang City who had been hungry for several days were more motivated than them.
He looked around and found that although the Zhao army had a large number of soldiers, their morale was low, and some even dropped their weapons and ran away. This was not the performance of an elite army at all.
After a while, the brothers rushed to the coach's tent.
Outside Zhao Kuo's tent, several guards fought desperately, but were soon killed by the Qin army. Lu Mingfei kicked open the tent door and saw Zhao Kuo sitting at the table with a calm expression, as if he had already expected this moment to come.
Zhao Kuo faced the men calmly, expressionless, neither sad nor happy. He just slowly drew his sword, with only the determination to die.
In the past two years, when Qin's national strength has been growing stronger and the king of Zhao has become less and less motivated, the Zhao army is bound to be defeated. The only difference is that it will be defeated sooner or later.
His purpose in leading the army here this time was just to kill as many Qin troops as possible so that the Qin troops could be quiet for a few years and allow Zhao to survive.
But the plan failed.
There is only one death.
Zhao Kuo stood up suddenly and rushed towards the strongest general in front of the Qin army, Finger. If he could kill him before he died, the pressure on Zhao State would be relieved.
To be honest, although Zhao Kuo was considered a genius, with extremely pure internal strength and the ability to use a thousand pounds with his hands, it was hard to say whether he could win against Finkel before, let alone now.
Finger sneered, dodged Zhao Kuo's sword, and then kicked Zhao Kuo in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Then, he held Zhao Kuo under his armpits like a chicken, and no matter how Zhao Kuo struggled, it was useless.
"Commander-in-chief Zhao Kuo has surrendered. Anyone who drops his weapon will not die!" Lu Mingfei's voice, which was imbued with strong internal strength, rang out, and the entire Zhao army camp heard the news.
"Commander Zhao Kuo has surrendered. Anyone who drops his weapons will not be killed!" the other soldiers also shouted.
Overnight, the 200,000-strong Zhao army was wiped out, with only a few thousand soldiers and horses fleeing back to Xunshi.
As the sky gradually brightened, corpses were scattered all over the battlefield, and the smell of blood filled the air. The Qin army's flags fluttered in the morning breeze, announcing the victory of this battle.
Gu Nan stood on a high place, looking at the remnant troops fleeing in the distance, but she did not feel much joy in her heart. She turned to look at Lu Mingfei and whispered: "This battle was won too easily."
Lu Mingfei nodded, frowning: "Zhao Kuo is not a fool. He must have other purposes for doing this."
Finkel came over carrying the tied-up Zhao Kuo and grinned, "Who cares? Anyway, we've captured him and won the battle. Let's go back and have a drink!"
Zhao Kuo was thrown to the ground, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and his face looked deathly pale.
At this moment, he just wanted to die. The two hundred thousand troops were wiped out in vain, and he was destined to be infamous for all eternity.
Bai Qi walked slowly over, looked down at Zhao Kuo with cold eyes, and said calmly: "Take him away and interrogate him."
