The Zhao army, like the Qin army, has the strongest central army and weak wings. As long as the central army is defeated, the two wings cannot form combat effectiveness and defeat is inevitable.
What worries Wang Lu is Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness.
Unlike Han and Wei, who have always been suppressed by the Qin State, they are inherently weaker in the face of the Qin army.
The State of Zhao went back and forth in the war with the State of Qin, and was not at a disadvantage. In recent years, it has been tending to counterpress the State of Qin, and the momentum of its soldiers was extremely high.
Wang Hao even suspected that the two thousand elite cavalrymen of Zhao State who rushed at the front all had internal energy.
"There is no doubt that all these cavalrymen do have inner energy." Lu Buwei stood next to Wang Lu with a solemn look on his face.
As the planner and executor of the strategy of "destroying the Zhou Kingdom, seizing the Nine Tripods, and dividing the Three Jins", Lu Buwei did not stay in Xianyang, but followed Wang Lu as an army strategist to earn himself the first military honor in his life.
He was not surprised by the strength of the Zhao army. The Qin State also had such an army. He was just a little surprised that the Zhao State would use such an elite army to support the Zhou State.
This is no longer the era when the king of Zhou ruled the world together. The survival of Zhou was of little significance to all countries. This is why Qin dared to send troops to destroy Zhou.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Except for Han Wei, the two guys who felt the coldness of lips and teeth, and Zhao Guo, no country sent troops to aid Zhou.
To put it bluntly, to the Zhao State, all the people in the Zhou State were not as valuable as these 10,000 elite soldiers, but the Zhao State still sent troops.
In addition, there is another news that only a few people know. King Zhao Kuo has not shown up for a long time.
The news released by Zhao Kuo said that he was on a parade, and there were also rumors that Zhao Kuo had reached a critical juncture in his cultivation of immortality and was in retreat. Some people also said that Zhao Kuo was sick, or even terminally ill. The most outrageous theory was that King Zhao had passed away.
The Zhao court was worried about trouble, so they kept the funeral secret.
Some of the news is quite reasonable, and some of it is very nonsense.
But no matter which statement is made, it confirms the fact that King Zhao Kuo has not shown his face for a long time.
As a monarch, it is obviously abnormal to not show up for a long time.
Qin State sent troops to attack Sanchuan. In addition to strategic needs, it also wanted to test Zhao State.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he tested it, Zhao Guo responded: sending troops to support Zhou Guo.
Lu Buwei had a feeling that Zhao State seemed to be trying its best to curb the development of Qin State, even if it lost some interests.
"The background of Zhao State is indeed terrifying." Wang Hao put his right hand on the hilt of his sword, staring at the battlefield tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.
To be honest, he despised Lu Buwei in his heart. On the one hand, he was influenced by the traditional thinking of the Qin State and looked down on businessmen. On the other hand, as a general who relied on military merit to climb up the ranks step by step, he really disliked people who relied on "crooked ways" to get to the position.
Lu Buwei happened to occupy both.
However, even if Wang Hao despised Lu Buwei, he would never show it on the battlefield.
As long as you go to the battlefield, you have to let go of all the huge conflicts and wait until you are done with the battlefield.
"In addition, if I guess correctly, the two wings of the Zhao army should not be the Zhao army, but the Han army and the Wei army." Lu Buwei pointed in the direction of Mang Mao and Bao Luan.
When he learned that the number of Zhao troops had greatly increased, he was very surprised. No matter how unreliable Qin's intelligence was, it would not be so wrong.
So he used his talent to scan the army in front of him.
As a result, three different colors emerged among the left, center and right armies. Among them, the Zhao army was the brightest, indicating that it was the most suitable teammate, followed by the Wei army, and the Han army was the darkest.
Combined with the fact that only the Three Jins sent troops to support the Zhou Kingdom, Lu Buwei immediately deduced that the large army in front of him was the coalition of the Three Jins. This also explained why the Zhao army increased several times, and the left and right armies did not cooperate well with the Chinese army.
"Xingyang's army is..." Wang Hao was shocked.
"It's just an empty camp." Lu Buwei curled his lips.
It is obvious that the Qin scouts could not go to the Han and Wei camps to count them. Seeing that the camps were still there from a distance, they thought that the army was still there.
It is even more impossible to run to the Zhao army to count them, and they don't even dare to get close. They can only wait for the Zhao army to leave and infer based on the number of buried stoves.
However, the Qin army had already learned the approximate number of Zhao troops before, so they would inevitably relax their vigilance in this regard and not pay too much attention to whether the number of stoves increased or decreased.
In addition, Lu Buwei guessed that the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties probably arrived on a hasty march. In order to avoid the detection of the Three Jin Dynasty scouts, the Qin army's scouts had to take a long detour to arrive. Even if there was news, it would not be delivered in time.
"I didn't expect that Coach Zhao Jun would have such thoughts." Wang Hao said in a deep voice, his expression not very good.
The last time we were put together like this, it was in Shangdang. Zhao Kuo used the Zhao army to hold back the Qin army. Jin Chan escaped from his shell and convinced the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu to command the nominal four-nation coalition. In fact, the three Jin coalition defeated the Qin army.
This time he thought he would only have to face the Zhao army, but it turned out that he was facing the three Jin coalition forces again.
"The coach should be Le Cheng, the general of Zhao State who was second only to Lian Po." Lu Buwei said. He is half Zhao State. Although he has not been back for several years, as a talent possessor, his memory is still very good.
, even if you only see it once from a distance while standing in a crowd, you can still remember it when you meet it again.
"What is his ability?" Wang Lu asked.
"I don't know." Lu Buwei shook his head. He was just a businessman when he was in Zhao State, how could he know such confidential things.
Although the Qin State has been collecting information on the civil and military ministers of the Zhao State over the years, Le Cheng has not led troops in many battles, and they were all a long time ago. It is particularly troublesome to collect. It is difficult to deduce Le Cheng's identity from the fragmented information.
ability.
In addition, Qin State did not focus its main energy on Le Cheng. Zhao State had many more threats than Le Cheng.
"Spread out to the two wings." On the other side, Le Cheng saw the Qin army's chariots rushing towards him from a distance, without any thought of competing.
Only a fool would use cavalry to ram a chariot. Even heavy cavalry in armor cannot ram a chariot.
After receiving the order, Zhao Jun naturally divided into two teams and separated on both sides in a slight arc.
Sima Geng did not pursue. The collision force of the chariot was far greater than that of the cavalry, but the agility was far inferior. If he turned a corner to chase Zhao Jun's cavalry, not to mention the possibility of overturning, it would be impossible to catch up in terms of speed alone.
Once the formation is torn apart by the Zhao army, the scattered chariots will no longer act as a deterrent and will only be massacred by the Zhao army.
The Qin army had a clear goal and kept charging forward.
The cavalry ran away, followed by infantry, and behind the infantry were archers.
The cavalry can bypass the chariot, but the infantry and crossbowmen cannot!
As long as the Qin army rushes in front of them, it will be a one-sided massacre.
