The snow in the north is very dry, and it falls all over the sky, and it takes only a few sticks of incense to make the whole ground white. The latest update of the apex novel is the fastest. The plush is spread on the ground and cannot condense, because the dry and cold cedar is too soft to freeze.
It has been more than January, and this is probably the last snow before spring.
Gu Nan sat on a rock in the camp.
Brother Hei stood aside and raised his neck, snoring for some reason, probably because of Feixue getting into his nose. The hoof stepped on the snow twice, leaving several marks of different shades.
When the Qin army withdrew to the camp, it began to snow.
The snow came fast and heavy, covering the sun and the sky, leaving only catkins flying all over the sky.
The morale of the Qin army can be said to have fallen to a rock bottom. With such an advantage, they were beaten back and forth. Everyone was holding a sigh of relief, but in this final battle, they still retreated.
People are tired and horses are exhausted.
The soldiers sat together, cleared a piece of snow, and lit a campfire. The warm fire dispelled the warmth, and everyone bowed their heads.
Many people have some wounds on their bodies, and it's okay to tie them up with tattered cloth strips. In this era, no one would think about wound infection at all.
The spear was leaning against Gu Nan's leg, holding on to his cloak, and Gu Nan gently wiped the blood on the spear.
The blood was frozen into icicles, blood red, and as the cloak was wiped, debris fell one after another.
The white cloak was also stained with blood.
History is more powerful than she imagined, and Zhao Jun was not broken after all, so Zhao Kuo's ability, I'm afraid, is not like talking on paper like the history books say.
It can't be said that he has such a deep and sophisticated strategy, but he has undoubtedly done a very good job in controlling the morale of the army.
On the ancient battlefield, unless there was an absolute superiority in force or a sure-to-kill strategy, an army with high morale was a combat force with absolute deterrence.
"Miss Gu." A soldier came over, holding a hot rice soup in his hand: "Eat something."
Gu Nan took the bowl: "Thank you."
The warm air is dispersed in the air by the cold wind.
"It's hard to break." Bai Qi nodded lightly, holding the military letter presented by Wang in his hand.
Although it was the result he didn't want to see, it had to be said that this result was the most reasonable.
That Zhao Kuo, from the very beginning, planned to die, and did not leave himself behind at all.
If Qin Jun wants to retain his strength, this battle cannot end so easily.
This kid really can be so decisive.
Bai Qi's eyes showed a bit of expression, and he sighed slightly: "How much did our army lose in battle?"
Wang frowned: "The first battle took less than an hour, but the damage in the battle was tens of thousands. The scene was chaotic, and it is difficult to calculate the specifics."
This battle was completely different from the previous small-scale contact or the attack on the camp.
The two armies were confronting each other in an all-round way, without the barrier of towering battalion walls, and without the restrictions of the terrain, thus resulting in the largest confrontation.
In just one hour, the battle losses on both sides reached tens of thousands, almost paving the banks of the Danshui River red.
Counting the seven days of confrontation, although the strength of the Qin army is close to 60,000, this is already a very unacceptable number.
And Zhao Jun's loss was similar to that of Qin Jun's, maybe a little more, but not much more.
The more than 300,000 sergeants under him are still a difficult problem.
"Old Bai, what should we do next?" Wang's expression was stern. After fighting for two years, Qin's national strength could not be delayed like this.
And this battle must be won with a big victory.
"Surround but not attack." Since he could think of the worst outcome, Bai Qi had already arranged his strategy.
"Zhao Jun's rations can last up to three days. After three days, no matter what they eat, they will definitely not be able to last for too long. When Zhao Jun breaks through, we can turn to the host. At that time, no matter how solidified the army's morale is, it will also be shaken. .”
Bai Qi paused and narrowed his eyes.
"We, bullying."
Bullying surrender is not a very clever strategy, but it will definitely be very useful in such a situation.
When the opponent is completely out of food, deceive the opponent to surrender, as long as one of Zhao Jun surrenders, the final result is that Zhao Jun will be self-defeating.
Zhao Jun was besieged.
On the afternoon after Zhao Kuo's soldiers returned to camp, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops surrounded Zhao's camp, but they camped and did not attack.
At this time, the camps of the two armies are only less than a mile apart, and they can almost greet each other when they go out.
Of course, no one would do that.
The two armies spent the night in peace without seeing each other with their heads down.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kuo actually led Zhao Jun out of the nest.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
Things like morale are often the most unstable, and now is the time when Zhao Jun is in extreme grief and indignation.
If a few more days passed, he had no idea how much of Zhao Jun's combat strength would be retained. He was not a person who resigned himself to fate and would not let this opportunity pass.
Zhao Jun began an almost never-ending breakout.
The Qin army's defense line was undoubtedly countless times stronger than theirs. After getting used to Zhao Jun's crazy offensive, it became stable, and even Zhao Kuo fought day and night without breaking the solid defense.
The losses of the two armies are getting higher and higher in such a war of attrition.
On the third day when Zhao Jun was besieged, Zhao Jun was completely out of food.
Just when Qin Jun thought that this battle would be won, Zhao Jun did another shocking thing.
They began to collect the dead from the battlefield.
The heavy snow has been falling, and on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, a half-buried corpse can be seen almost by digging through the snow.
The corpse did not rot quickly because of the weather.
Zhao Jun began to eat the corpses.
Qin Jun was petrified by this group of beast-like troops.
They want to fight this battle while eating corpses, what are they doing for it
This reason may only be known to Zhao Jun himself.
The reason for letting them eat their comrades and even the corpses of their brothers, doing things that are worthless, is to fight.
