Chapter 582: Hu Zhe who missed the opportunity [Please subscribe*Please vote for the monthly ticket]

The soldiers looked at Big Hammer. They were different from Big Hammer. They had been able to hold on until now because of Big Hammer's personal charm, but they had families, unlike Big Hammer who was alone.

Therefore, many people saluted to Da Tiechui, Wang Jian and Yan Yan, picked up the money bags on the ground and left silently.

But there were also quite a few people who stayed with the Big Hammer.

"Send them back!" Wang Jian spoke again, turned around and rode away.

"Thank you, General!" Big Hammer breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that Wang Jian would recruit him and use him to attack the State of Zhao.

But Wang Jian obviously really valued him and was willing to treat him with courtesy. He would not let him participate in the war between Qin and Zhao, so he sent him to the rear.

If Wang Jian really asked him to participate in the attack on Zhao State, he really wouldn't know what to do.

"I thought you would directly let him participate in the war to destroy Zhao?" Yan Yan said with a smile on the way back.

"I won't be so cruel!" Wang Jian was speechless. Am I that kind of person?

"Moreover, his loyalty is unreliable. Moreover, he has not received any systematic training in martial arts. He only has brute force and is dispensable to the army's conquest!"

Yan Yan smiled. The Big Iron Hammer only had great potential, but it was not able to affect the outcome of a war like Dian Qing and Wushuang Gui.

The current big hammer can at most affect the outcome of a very small team of 100 people. It is difficult to defeat a team of 500 people in the main battlefield.

However, Dian Qing and Wushuang Gui are different. Needless to say, the former is the commander of the Yulin Guard and a fierce general in the decisive battle. The latter can also be a sharp knife in the front battlefield.

Today's big hammers have not been systematically studied, so their influence is really not great.

There are many people in the Qin army who can replace him.

As one of the two major military families of the Qin State, the Wang family naturally has no shortage of horizontal training techniques and hammer techniques. With the training of the Wang family, the future achievement of the big iron hammer will not be lower than that of the leader of the Mohist School, or even higher.

Because the Wang family knows better how to unleash the full potential of the big hammer.

Just like Wushuang Gui, in Tianze's hands, he is just a second-rate master in the martial arts world, and also a reckless man who is hunted down and wanted by South Korea.

But in Bingzhou, Wushuang Gui is the most powerful general in the Huben Camp and the second most brave man in Bingzhou after Dian Qing.

On the battlefield, who wouldn't be cautious when seeing the Wushuang Ghost?
"But I'm curious, will the general really order a one-day halt to the attack just for the sake of the Big Hammer?" Yan Yan asked curiously.

“Although I am not a Mohist, I will not easily change what I have said!” Wang Jian was even more speechless.

I am the number one general of the Qin State. Why would I lie to others?
Yan Yan didn't say anything else.

Stopping the attack for one day would have little impact on the war between Qin and Zhao.

Especially since the Qin army had just captured the city of Yanyu, it was impossible for them to continue the attack without resting.

"I was wondering why the State of Zhao gave up its advantages and chose an offensive and defensive battle with the Qin army!" Yan Yan changed the subject.

Wang Jian also hesitated for a moment. This was a good question and he also wanted to know the answer.

What is Zhao State's strongest point?
Before Bingzhou appeared, Zhao's strongest force was its cavalry.

Wuling Cavalry is known as the best cavalry in the world.

Even when the Qin army was facing the Wuling Cavalry in the military flag simulation, even if they used the Rui Shi Battalion to compete, they would directly measure it by a 1:5 casualty ratio, not to mention that it was impossible for the Qin State to exchange its elite Rui Shi Battalion for the Wuling Cavalry.

If other types of troops were used to exchange for the Wuling Cavalry, the casualty ratio would be at least 1:15!

Even if cavalry is used to fight against each other, the casualty ratio will be as high as 1:7.

Therefore, Zhao's strongest point should be field battles, rather than defending the city and fighting a city defense battle with the Qin army.

This is equivalent to using one's own weaknesses to attack the strengths of the Qin army. "If Li Mu were here, I'm afraid I would have retreated to Shangdi by now!" Wang Jian smiled.

When it comes to the use of cavalry, probably no one can compare to Li Mu except Bing Jun.

If Li Mu had been in command of this battle, I'm afraid they would have been harassed by Zhao cavalry and their defenses broken before they even reached Yanyu City. It would have been even more impossible for him to wait quietly until Li Xin, Qiang Wei and Yang Duanhe attacked Jingxing Pass and Yecheng.

"So, Your Majesty means that Huo Zhe will set up a large formation between Yanyu City and Liaoyang and fight a battle in the field with me?" Wang Jian suddenly reacted.

Although Hu Zhe was not a famous general, he was also a general who had followed Lian Po. At the beginning, he may have had great trust in Yanyu City, the world's number one fortress, so he chose to defend the city.

However, Liaoyang is not a famous city or important town. If Yanyu City could fall, how long could Liaoyang hold out?
"I didn't say anything!" Yan Yan smiled.

Want to take my wisdom for free? Impossible!

However, Wang Jian had to take it seriously.

Although the Qin army is also very good at field battles, it depends on who the opponent is.

It takes a lot of experience to fight a field battle with cavalry!

There was actually one thing Yan Yan didn't say: how should Huo Zhe explain to the State of Zhao that he had lost the city of Yanyu.

Therefore, before the envoys from Zhao State arrived, he had to show some results, otherwise Handan would definitely send someone to replace him.

Therefore, it was destined that Hu Zhe had no choice but to fight outside the city and ambush the Qin army.

We don't seek a great victory, but at least we must inflict heavy losses on the Qin army so that it cannot break through Liaoyang and continue its march toward Handan.

Handan had indeed received the news of the fall of Yanyu City. The entire court was in an uproar and silence, with many people shouting for the death of Huo Zhe.

But they were all suppressed by Guo Kai, after all, it was Hu Zhe who was promoted by him.

So, Hu Zhe got a second chance instead of being replaced.

However, Guo Kai also secretly told Huo Zhe that if he could not produce any results, he should run as far away as possible, because no one in the entire Zhao State could protect him.

Therefore, Huo Ze had no choice but to send the Zhao army out of Liaoyang City and ambush between Yanyu City and Liaoyang City.

However, although Wang Jian was on guard, he did not have the arrogance of a victor. He advanced steadily and his army was dispatched in units of tens of thousands, advancing slowly in a V-shaped formation, giving the State of Zhao no chance to launch a surprise attack and defeat them one by one.

"There really is an ambush!" Wang Jian was surprised after hearing the scout's report.

The Zhao army retreated instead of engaging the Qin army in a field battle.

"They missed the only chance to inflict heavy losses on the Qin army!" Yan Yan spread his hands.

In a field battle, even Wang Jian would find it difficult to change the fact that cavalry is naturally inferior to infantry.

If Li Mu were there, he would definitely dare to fight Wang Jian in the wild with killing in exchange for killing.

What Handan wants now is to delay the Qin army's attack rather than retain its strength.

However, Hu Zhe did not have this awareness, so when he saw that there was no chance, he chose to withdraw.

After all, he did not have Li Mu's courage and ability.

If Li Mu were to come, Wang Jian had no doubt that even if they moved in a V-shaped formation, Li Mu would dare to send out the cavalry and cooperate with the main army to kill them and drive them back to Yanyu City.

Even if Wang Jian dared not to retreat and sent his entire army forward, Li Mu would dare to take a gamble and fight him in the wild.

The final result must be that both sides suffered heavy losses, but the Qin army had to withdraw and could no longer continue to attack Handan.
