Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

These eight words are actually very level.

With Bai Qi's wisdom, of course he can tell at a glance that this is actually a scapegoat!

Why do you say that?

Because there is no objective and fair criterion for such a thing as a "fighter plane".No one can say when it is considered a fighter opportunity and when it is not.

This is like playing football. Sometimes you can just stand outside the penalty area and kick in. Is this considered a fighter?But most of the time, you know that it is impossible to get in by swiping blindly, so you have to keep looking for opportunities. Does this count as delaying the opportunity?

The answer is: if the coach says it’s fine, then it’s fine, if the coach says it’s fine, then it’s fine.

Who is Qin's coach?It was Qin Wangji and Fan Sui!

From a safe point of view, Bai Qi can of course defend Changping, and then wait for Wei Jun to stab Zhao Guo in the back, and then happily beat the dog in the water.

But Bai Qi knew very well in his heart that he couldn't do this.

If Bai Qi was really sitting in Changping and waiting for Wei Jun to dispatch, then as soon as Wei Jun started backstabbing, Fan Sui would be able to bring Bai Qi back to Xianyang with a "delayed opportunity" scapegoat.

Next, of course, was Fan Sui's Wang Yan who came up to command the Qin army to beat the dog in the water, and took the unworldly feat of destroying Zhao.

After Wang Lu finished receiving this unworldly merit, Qin Wangji and Fan Sui would take advantage of the situation to make Wang Lu a new generation of military gods of Qin.

At that time, the new military god will be in place, and Bai Qi, the old military god, can of course die.

So Bai Qi had to attack, even if Bai Qi himself knew very well that the time had not come, he had to start attacking.

Bai Qi must attack before the overall situation is determined and the situation is not yet clear, otherwise once Qin Weiyan attacks Zhao Guozhi's situation, nothing will happen in vain.

It's an adventure, an adventure through and through.

But Bai Qi never lacks the courage to take risks, because he is Bai Qi, the invincible Qin God of War!

Bai Qi let out a long breath, looking at the two trusted generals in front of him, his face gradually became serious.

"Wang Ling and Sima Jin obey orders!"

Chapter 85 High Quesai

On the north bank of the Yellow River, at the westernmost end of the Yinshan Mountains, there is a mountain range extending from east to west for hundreds of miles.

To the north of this mountain range is an endless prairie. People in later generations used to call this place "Inner Mongolia prairie".

Every night, the howling of wolves can be heard one after another in the mountains. Hundreds of wolves come out of the mountains to prey on the prairie. Pairs of miserable green eyeballs are shining in the darkness. The frightening and ferocious light, after finding something, they will attack it in groups. Even the top predators like tigers and leopards have to choose to retreat in front of the wolves.

So the name of this mountain range is Wolf Mountain.

But although the mountain is famous as Wolf Mountain, it is not without traces of human activities.

An incomparably majestic Great Wall was built along the Yinshan Mountains from east to west, stretching for thousands of miles, covering almost the entire northern border of Zhao State, and also covering the entire Wolf Mountain.

This is the famous Zhao Great Wall.

At the westernmost end of Zhao Great Wall, that is, in the middle of Wolf Mountain, the entire mountain range suddenly cut a big hole like a god cut it, forming a steep valley.

Two steep peaks on the left and right sides of the valley pierced into the sky like towering twin towers. A majestic fortress was built on the basis of this valley and the twin peaks between the valleys. The walls of the fortress were dozens of The whole body is made of square base stones, and there are tall towers on the east and west sides. The whole fortress firmly locks the passage between the Shuangque mountain peaks.

This is Zhao Guoxiong Pass Gaoquesai, which is as famous as Hangu Pass in Qin State.

Gaoquesai is not just a majestic pass, it is also a part of the entire North Great Wall of Zhao State. It can be used as an indestructible pass when defending, and can be used as a bridgehead for the Zhao army when attacking. Its strategic position is extremely important.

In later generations, the well-known Marquis of Changping, Weiqing, sent troops to surprise the Huns from here. He defeated the troops of the Youxian King of the Huns in one blow, and captured more than ten young kings, more than [-] men and women, and millions of livestock. .

Because of this, Wei Qing was named a general, and all three of Wei Qing's sons were named lieutenants by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But at this moment, this is not the land of the Han Dynasty. The owner of this pass is still the world-famous Zhao Guo cavalry.

On the grassland a few miles north of Gaoquesai, a small chase was going on.

A few Huns fled in front of them in a panic, and a Zhao army cavalry in their early twenties fanned after them. The two sides kept bowing and shooting at each other. It's so lively when you come and I go.

Logically speaking, as a nation on horseback, the Huns should have gained the upper hand in such a cavalry and archery battle, but what is surprising is that Zhao Jun's cavalry gained the upper hand in this archery battle .

In fact, at the beginning of the battle, the number of both sides was equal, about 20 or so, but now there are only a few Huqi left, and Zhao Jun still has at least [-] people.

The reason for this is that these Huns suddenly discovered that the Zhao cavalry in front of them not only had better riding skills, but also more accurate shooting skills!

While the two sides were chasing each other, a young Zhao officer suddenly bent his bow and set an arrow.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the feet of this Zhao Guo officer are set in a pair of stirrups, and the buttocks are firmly supported by a saddle that arches forward and backward. He was standing there, but his body didn't move at all, and he steadily drew the longbow in his hand to the full.

With a sound of "嗖", an arrow left the bowstring in an instant, and caught up with a Hun cavalry like a meteor chasing the moon. Later, he fell to the ground and died.

In fact, it wasn't just this Zhao Jun officer, almost every Zhao Jun cavalry was equipped with a complete set of horse gear such as stirrups, saddles and even horseshoes among the mounts under their crotch.

It was precisely because of the aid of these harnesses that what was supposed to be a [-]/[-] battle turned into a one-sided massacre in the end!

After another few minutes, the last Hun cavalry fell from his horse with an arrow, and the whole pursuit finally came to an end.

Zhao Jun's cavalry jumped off their horses one by one happily, took out their weapons and beheaded the dead Huns, and then happily hung the head beside their saddles.

It's not that Zhao Jun's cavalry are bloodthirsty, it's that if you don't take the enemy's head back, your military exploits will not be recognized.

Speaking of this method of beheading the number of meritorious deeds, I still learned it from the people of Qin.

I saw that the young Zhao Guo officer also operated like his subordinates, but he had the most heads hanging next to his saddle, and there were six of them. You must know that only thirty Huns were killed. Just come here.

It is precisely because of this that the Zhao Jun officer undoubtedly received a lot of admiration from his subordinates.

In a place like the army, others may not necessarily obey you, but if you have the ability, then others will certainly obey you.

I saw a cavalry soldier of the Zhao army laughing in the substandard Zhao language: "General Li Bai, this time I killed so many Xiongnu, and I won't leave a few miles for the second and third sons!"

The reason why this officer was called Li Baijiang was not because his name was Li Baijiang, but because he was a commander of a hundred generals.

The meaning of Li Baijiang is the same as that of Li Platoon Leader and Company Commander Li in later generations.

This Li Baijiang looked only twenty years old, he was full of vigor, with sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, and his figure was improved. There was a kind of generous temperament of Zhao Dinan.

The young general Li Bai waved his hand, laughed and cursed at the cavalrymen of the Zhao army who were booing around him: "Second and third sons, don't talk nonsense! If I didn't shoot down these Huns earlier, I don't know how many miles they can shoot down the second and third sons! Let's do things, don't talk too much!"

Zhao Jun's cavalry dispersed and began to search for the corpses and horses of the fallen comrades. About an hour later, all the corpses and horses were finally found, so this cavalry team happily took dozens of captured horses. The war horse ran towards Gaoquesai in the distance.

Since it was still early and the enemy had been completely wiped out, the cavalrymen of the Zhao army were not in a hurry along the way, and walked slowly, talking and laughing along the way.

A barbarian cavalryman smiled at Li Baijiang and said, "Baijiang, what kind of saddle and stirrup are these?

Since the State of Zhao conquered a large area that originally belonged to Linhu, Loufan, and Donghu, many Hu cavalry soldiers became the subjects of the five northern counties of Zhao State, and many people were conscripted into the army to become Zhao State Cavalrymen. Cavalry is one of them.
