To deal with the Allied Forces led by Pang Nuan, Wang Jian did not resort to cunning tactics, but directly selected a path that the Allied Forces must pass if they wanted to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Qin.
Three lines of defense were deployed on this inevitable road, waiting for the arrival of the coalition forces.
Since the Qin Army had no intention of hiding, the Allied Forces quickly discovered the Qin Army's traces. However, after a short discussion, they had to bite the bullet and launch an attack on the defense line set up by the Qin Army.
Pang Nuan and the coalition forces had no choice. If they took a detour, it would take too much time and it would be impossible to smoothly enter the hinterland of Qin. There would be many obstacles behind them.
The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes. Only by breaking through the Qin army's defense can it be possible to invade Xianyang, and seize the opportunity to turn Qin's hinterland upside down, and then retreat unscathed.
Historically, the Qin State did not expect that the Allied Forces would bypass Hangu Pass, and the troops mobilized could not rush to contain it in time. This resulted in the lack of follow-up pursuit capabilities, and the Allied Forces basically retreated from the Qin State. , the damage is really not big.
The Qin Army's defense line has been perfected by Wang Jian and other Qin Army generals. It can be said that each line is more terrifying than the last, and there are no obvious flaws. It is completely in line with the art of war. If you want to pass it, you can only use human lives to fill it.
It took three days, and the generals of the coalition forces racked their brains and sacrificed their lives to tear open a line of defense. The two more terrifying lines of defense behind them made Pang Nuan and others feel numb, but they were not willing to give up in vain. If they retreat, they can only bite the bullet and continue the attack.
The Qin army was already fierce and brave, and they also had enough energy to rely on the defense line with geographical advantages to fight against the coalition forces. It can be said that they occupied the geographical advantage and the people.
As for Tianshi, he is actually on the side of the Qin army. The Qin army is outflanking them in a large roundabout. The longer it takes, the tighter the net will be.
At this moment, the person responsible for contacting the Chu army received the news and hurriedly reported it. Soon Pang Nuan and others got the bad news. At this time, they would be fools if they did not realize that the Qin army had already prepared them to bypass Hangu Pass.
Although he was very unwilling to do so, Pang Nuan did not lose his mind and issued the order to withdraw the troops despite being unwilling to do so.
It's just that it's easy to come in, but it's not that easy to leave. Wang Jian noticed the movements of the coalition forces and directly ordered the cavalry to pursue them, while the infantry followed behind.
Even without Wei Yong's intelligence, Wang Jian was not worried about whether Pang Nuan was cheating, thereby inducing the Qin army to give up the advantage of the turtle shell and conduct a decisive battle in the field. Who is the Qin army afraid of in today's field battle?
If he really couldn't retreat to the defense line, he would just fight in the field. Moreover, Wang Jian was very confident that he could retreat to the defense line. How could it be that easy to catch the Qin army he led and force a decisive battle?
With detailed and correct information, there is no need to hesitate, just chase!
Pang Nuan learned that the Qin cavalry was chasing him and wanted to bite him, so he could only order the Zhao cavalry to break up the rear.
At this time, Pang Nuan did not dare to place his hopes on the Wei cavalry and the Korean cavalry. If they could not withstand it and the army was bitten, it would be terrible.
And it's not that Pang Nuan looks down on Wei cavalry and Korean cavalry. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are really inferior to Zhao cavalry. Only Zhao's cavalry in the world can fight Qin's cavalry head-on without falling behind.
The cavalry sent out was blocked, so Wang Jian was not in a hurry. After sending reinforcements, he led the infantry and continued to advance according to the predetermined rhythm.
Facing the reinforcements of the Qin Army, the Zhao cavalry gradually became overwhelmed. It happened that the army had retreated a sufficient distance, and after paying some price, it temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the Qin Army's cavalry.
In the next few days, this process was repeated every day. The Qin army clung to the Hezong coalition, which annoyed Pang Nuan so much that he wanted to have a big fight with the Qin army.
It's a pity that Wang Jian didn't accept the attack at all, and the cavalry covered him, and the troops retreated slowly in order. Seeing the Qin army's tight formation and cavalry cover, the possibility of a successful attack was too low, so Pang Nuan had to recall the cavalry and continue the attack. withdraw.
However, the Qin army came up again. This time Pang Nuan ignored it and just asked the cavalry to guard against the Qin army's cavalry, and Mengtou retreated.
He didn't know what was going on, but as he retreated further, Pang Nuan's bad premonition became stronger, so he decided to change his retreat route.
Of course, this is useless. The Qin army has already surrounded the Hezong coalition forces in a large roundabout. They have to retreat within the encirclement. Moreover, Wei Yong is the guide who delivers the news. The Qin armies on both sides know the location of the Hezong coalition forces very well. .
Two days later, during the march, Pang Nuan suddenly felt panicked and could not suppress it despite silently running the Guigu Mental Technique.
So Pang Nuan immediately ordered all the scout battalions in the army to be dispatched to expand the scope of the investigation. Then he discovered a large number of Qin army cavalry, and was so frightened that the scout team fled desperately.
The Qin army's scout team caught up and started a small but brutal bloody battle.
In the end, only one scout endured the severe pain in his back and returned to the army, and reported the shocking news to Pang Nuan.
This news shocked all the generals and made them panic. Pang Nuan was no exception.
After waking up, Pang Nuan immediately realized that the news had been leaked.
Otherwise, how could the Qin army be so well prepared that even an army came around behind them and surrounded them, and they didn't know anything about it?
A powerful aura swept through the tent, and the air seemed to have solidified. It was as sharp as a sword and as ferocious as an animal's gaze as it glanced at the generals in the tent, making all the generals feel shuddered and lowered their heads subconsciously.
Wei Yong was panicking, but fortunately, the cunning and cunning Wei Yong followed the crowd and lowered his head, so for the time being, nothing strange was noticed.
After venting his anger, Pang Nuan immediately realized that now was not the time to find out the evildoer, so he immediately restrained his momentum and issued military orders with a cold face.
It must be said that Pang Nuan's ability to lead troops is indeed strong, and these soldiers are indeed the best among the best. Faced with the fierce impact of the two Qin army cavalry, they blocked it abruptly.
Ordinary generals and ordinary armies would probably have been defeated long ago when faced with the two cavalry attacks from the front and back.
Seeing that they could not overwhelm the Allied forces, the generals of the two Qin cavalry forces resisted the urge to continue the attack, surrounded the Allied forces, and waited for the arrival of the large force.
In this case, all fools know that they cannot delay, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before the Qin army arrives and faces more terrifying front and rear attacks.
Only by defeating the Qin army's cavalry, sacrificing part of the army in the rear, and concentrating on attacking the Qin army in the north can there be a chance of survival.
The cavalry of the Three Kingdoms, no, the Four Kingdoms, rushed out in full force to the two Qin cavalry groups. The Qin cavalry retreated a distance first to prevent the large forces of the United Vertical Alliance from intervening, and did not confront the dying Allied forces head-on.
Love reading books
The two punches of the Four Kingdoms cavalry seemed to hit cotton, without any force, and they felt extremely aggrieved.
After that, the two sides fought repeatedly, and the Qin army's cavalry directly destroyed most of the morale of the four countries' cavalry. The morale of the large forces of the coalition forces dropped even more seriously, and the hope of breaking out became smaller and smaller.
The news of the encirclement could not be concealed. After all, the Qin army's cavalry attack from the north fell into the eyes of everyone, and the Qin army was spreading the news.
As for the east and west, there are also Qin troops, but due to terrain reasons, there are not so many Qin troops deployed.
Pang Nuan believed that this situation could not continue, as the coalition forces would probably collapse on their own if this continued.
He immediately decided to make a strategy of concentrating his forces on the surface to attack the Qin army in the north, but in fact the real target of the attack was the Qin army in the south.
It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny!
The Qin army in the north was commanded by Wang Lu, a veteran of hundreds of battles who had followed Wu'an Jun Bai Qi. He was extremely experienced and would not give the Allied Forces a chance to fight. Not only did the cavalry retreat, but also the infantry that had just arrived. Also retreat.
When Wang Jian learned about the actions of the Allied Forces, he had no reaction. He dragged and tortured the Allied Forces according to the planned plan, and was not in a hurry to launch a general offensive. His morale had not completely hit the bottom yet.
He and General Meng once promised that the coalition forces would never come back, so they must do it, and they must reduce casualties as much as possible, and make it as perfect as possible!
The right time, place and people are all in Qin, and Qin will never lack patience and perseverance!
Pang Nuan punched the air again, not to mention feeling aggrieved.
But there is no way, the initiative is completely out of his hands.
Moreover, humans are not machines. Even if the cavalry launches an attack, the distance it can attack is limited. Once the attack distance is exceeded, it will be out of reach.
If Toutie attacks, he will soon be taught how to behave.
Fighting with cold weapons is not as easy as pulling a trigger, nor is it like pressing a mouse and keyboard while playing games. You must maintain sufficient physical strength.
This is the so-called leisurely waiting for work. If one party catches up and is out of breath, how can they still fight?
Of course, it's not just Pang Nuan who feels aggrieved. The entire coalition, except Wei Yong, is all aggrieved and powerless!
