Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Due to Han Zhiyuan's frequent harassment of the Qi army, the Qi army's marching speed was slowed down, resulting in it not reaching Wangcang County so far.

Li Zhao arrived here first, and after a short rest, he led his troops and horses to rush towards the Qi army.

Previously, because his wife and daughter were killed, he reported to the government that he found a mountain man of the Qi army, named "Deng Biao".

Deng Biao hunts in the mountains all year round and is extremely familiar with the surrounding terrain. Li Zhao called him over, maybe he could provide some help in this battle.

The Qi army scouts discovered the movements of the Zhaowu army and reported it to Zhang Yanxia.

Zhang Yanxia was a little surprised, so many Zhaowu troops came faster than he expected. So he gathered the whole army and took the initiative to approach the Zhaowu army.

"The last general dares to ask, does General Zhang really want to be here, does he want the Zhaowu army to fight to the death?" He Taohan said.

"It's all this time, what's the point of saying this?" Zhang Yanxia said unhappily.

"There are thousands of Zhaowu troops in the back, and there are tens of thousands of Li Zhao's troops in front, and our army is not in a good situation.

Zhang Yanxia was silent for a moment, and resolutely said: "Our army has gone through hardships and dangers, and is about to enter Shudi, so we can't give up halfway here." The

generals understood, said no more, and actively prepared for war.

When Li Zhao's army was still twenty miles away from the main force of the Qi army, he stopped and chose a towering place to camp. Block the path of the Qi army and firmly control the surrounding areas.

"Within a radius of thirty miles, the mountain paths, have you walked them all? Li Zhao asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, I grew up here since I was a child, and I know where to go with my eyes closed. Deng Biao said confidently.

Li Zhao nodded and urged his subordinates to hurry up their defenses. He is actually not in a hurry, there is no shortage of food and grass in the army, and he has enough patience to consume the Qi army.

If the Qi army enters the Shu Plain, Li Zhao chooses only one, and immediately fights a decisive battle with the Qi army, and tries not to let this battle spread to other cities.

But now the Qi army has not entered the plains, and is still wandering around the mountains. Li Zhao only needs to hold on to the danger, and the two sides will confront each other for a long time, and when the Qi army runs out of food and grass, it will collapse without attacking.

Zhang Yanxia frowned when he learned that the Zhaowu Army had stopped.

After a while, the Qi army arrived in front of the Zhaowu army. Without a moment's delay, without even a temptation, he directly attacked the Zhaowu army.

The Zhaowu army had as many as 50,000 troops here, and there were enough weapons of all kinds, and 50 crossbows were brought with the bed alone.

When the killing was rising, Chen Lu, Song Jun and others led troops to launch a counter-charge against the Qi army from time to time.

There were some generals in the army who even proposed to Li Zhao. There is no need to defend the ground, you can have a big battle with the Qi army here, and kill the sky in the dark, nothing more than one or two hundred thousand people, and there is not much of a problem.

Li Zhao smiled and appeased the crowd to wait a little longer.

The Qi army's four-hour onslaught, with thousands of corpses, and many rounds of charges, all of which were also killed and retreated by the Zhaowu army!

At the same time as the battle began here, Han Zhiyuan led his troops and horses to attack and harass the Qi army from behind. Zhang Yanxia was forced to divide his troops and send people to drive Han Zhiyuan away.

He Taohan couldn't stand it anymore, he had a bad premonition, seeing that Zhang Yanxia was still unwilling to withdraw the army, he said: "The last general asked for his life, led an army to go around to the rear of the Zhaowu army, and attacked the position here in front and back.

Zhang Yanxia quickly agreed and gave him 8,000 soldiers and horses.

He Taohan went all the way west and walked twenty miles. When he was about to enter a valley, he suddenly thought that Wang Lu was also an ambush encountered in the valley.

To be cautious, send someone to investigate first. His subordinates climbed up to both sides of the valley and found that there was indeed an ambush of the Zhaowu army here.

He Taohan broke out in a cold sweat and led his troops to continue westward. Whenever you want to enter the valley or pass through a narrow road, you will first send someone to investigate it carefully.

To his surprise, the Zhaowu army had ambushes in many places. There are not many people in each place, only more than 100 people. Once he attacks one of them, he will immediately reveal his position and attract the rest of the Zhaowu army, so that the plan for a surprise attack will naturally be ruined.

...................................................................................................

Zhang Yanxia was very disappointed, he waited for three days, but He Taohan returned in vain.

If you think about it carefully, this is also reasonable, Li Zhao also has capable people under his command, and he will definitely remind him to prevent being bypassed by the enemy. The only fortunate thing is that He Taohan did not lose a single soldier on this trip.

"The army will hold on to food for a maximum of ten days, and the last general will recommend that the army be withdrawn immediately. Different from before, He Taohan's attitude was very resolute at this time, "When Li Zhao arrived with his troops, our army had already missed the opportunity to enter Shu.

Seeing that Zhang Yanxia didn't squeak, He Taohan hurriedly said: "Li Zhao's intentions, didn't the general understand it, it is obvious that he wants to trap our army here."

"Tomorrow I will personally lead the troops to charge and kill, if I still can't attack." The day after tomorrow, the troops were withdrawn. Zhang Yanxia said expressionlessly.

He Taohan said this, he actually understood. The reason why the troops were not withdrawn was because of Li Zhao's existence, and the threat to the Qi State was too great.

Liu Sihong was captured, and Shen Tian killed himself, all of whom were defeated at the hands of Zhaowujun. In order to exterminate it, the Qi State has lost more than 140,000 troops, but its power is getting stronger and stronger.

And this person has always been ambitious, in Zhang Yanxia's opinion, even if the Qi State does not attack Shudi, Li Zhao will attack the Qi State sooner or later. Between the two, it is simply impossible to coexist peacefully, only to die.

Now the biggest enemy of Qi is on the opposite mountain, even if the current situation is not good, Zhang Yanxia is still unwilling to give up.

What's more, even if the troops were withdrawn, Li Zhao would definitely not let the Qi army leave calmly. Along the way, I don't know how many people will die.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Zhang Yanxia was wearing Mingguang armor and rushed towards the Zhaowu army as a leader, followed by tens of thousands of Qi troops.

Li Zhao stood on a high place, coldly looking at the Qi army charging below.

Yesterday, the Ordnance Division urgently sent 100 small stone-throwing trucks, as well as a large number of fierce fire oil cans, which could be used.

Since the discovery of oil, Li Zhao has been particularly fond of fire attacks. Small cost, big power. There are quite a few trees around the battlefield, which helps to increase the fire.

A hundred stone-throwing carts simultaneously threw countless grass balls at the Qi army. Because the grass ball is too light, in order to be able to throw it farther, the grass ball is wrapped in a stone to strengthen the weight.

Xia Baiyang was puzzled in his heart, what is the Zhaowu Army doing throwing grass regiments? This can't kill people.

Seeing this, He Taohan's face changed drastically; despite Zhang Yanxia still leading the troops in front to rush and kill, he shouted loudly and urgently to retreat!

But it was too late, and countless lit oil canisters were quickly smashed towards the Qi army!
