Chapter 1204: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead into the Future (95) New Year's Bell (Continued 5)
Gou Yi finally felt that something was wrong, not because Zhao Jun showed strong combat effectiveness to firmly block his attack, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, no matter how bad the Zhao army was, it was also a strong army that had been powerful in the past and could compete with the Qin army, although it was not as good as it used to be, but the basic skeleton was still there, and Gou Yiyuan did not expect an attack to defeat them, Zhao Xilie still put great effort into the army he personally commanded, and it was much stronger than the garrisons in other places in Western Zhao.

What makes Gou Yi's scalp a little numb is the intensive attack from the long-range weapons of the Zhao army, although the opponent uses the bed crossbow that they are very familiar with, but as we all know, the bed crossbow is bulky and heavy, and the firing speed is extremely slow, for scattered attacks, the cavalry advancing at high speed is not a big threat, if a cavalry is actually hit head-on by the bed crossbow, it only says that your bad luck is really a headshot.
But now the opponent's long-range weapons in addition to the bed crossbow, the crossbow arrows with a special sound of collapse, overwhelming covering the shooting, but he suffered heavy losses, the first wave of attacks was caught off guard, and the cavalry that could rush to the position of the Zhao army was already very small, and there was no attack power on the enemy, and he could only become a victim of the swords and guns of the Western Zhao army.
This weapon hook is unfamiliar, but it certainly knows what it is. On this continent, only the army of the Han Kingdom is equipped with the Shenji crossbow, which can fire hundreds of crossbow arrows at a time, and the range can reach two-thirds of the bed crossbow, which is definitely the biggest bad news for cavalry attacks.
But where did the Western Zhao army get so many divine machine crossbows, you must know that in the past two years, Daqin has worked hard and tried his best, but he only secretly got dozens of divine machine crossbows, and all of them were sent to the workshop in Xianyang to prepare for research and imitation, but from the situation that Gou Yi knows now, because Daqin's own steel smelting level is much lower than that of the Han Dynasty, and this kind of divine machine crossbow has extremely high quality requirements for steel. Imitations are often scrapped after more than ten shots, and they cannot be put into mass production at all, let alone equip the army.
But now, the whistling sound of this divine crossbow in the Western Zhao army. It can be concluded that there are at least 100 such weapons.
Gouyi's scalp was numb, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart. There is only one possibility that Xi Zhao can get so many divine crossbows, and that is because they colluded with the Han army. They took refuge in the Han State, so they were able to get so many of these weapons that the Han State was still blockading from the Han State.
As soon as he thought of this, Gou Yi felt that something was wrong, if the Western Zhao army took refuge in the Han State, then this military rebellion in Jinyang County would definitely not be so simple, maybe it was a prepared calculation against Daqin, why did Zhao Xilie have the courage to call the powerful Qin army, where did his self-confidence come from?
There is only one possibility, the army of the Han must have reached Jinyang County. Hot
What kind of army can block all news in a short period of time, and suddenly appear in Jinyang. The answer is self-evident, cavalry, powerful cavalry, they can even run faster than the spies of their own country.
Since the Xiongnu and Donghu successively surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the cavalry of the Han State has become the biggest heart disease of Qin and Chu, and no one can match them in this regard.
Qin Chu didn't want to equip cavalry on a large scale, but as soon as there was a shortage of horses, the Han people controlled almost all the sources of war horses. In this way, war horses have become a scarce strategic resource, and secondly, it costs money to raise a cavalry. It is enough to raise ten infantry very well, compared with the two, Qin and Chu are not interested in the large-scale deployment of cavalry, and only the Han people can be so extravagant that a large number of cavalry can be mobilized at any time.
Gouyi's eyes were fixed on the map in front of him. If the cavalry of the Han State has appeared in Jinyang, then what do they want to do the most?
His fingers moved over the map, and Gou Yi began to sweat on top of his head. Huo Di raised his head and shouted, "Someone! ”
One of the tooth generals quickly ran up to Gouyi.
"Send men back at once to block the infantry, so that they can immediately stop their advance, build positions, and prepare for defense." Gou Yi said sharply.
"Huh?" The tooth general obviously didn't react, and now that the first wave of cavalry attacks had failed, shouldn't it be time to speed up the infantry so that the infantry could coordinate to defeat the Zhao army?
"Second, send another person to report back to General Lu quickly, saying, ......" Gou Yi paused, and finally made up his mind to make his own judgment: "It is said that the Zhao army has surrendered to the Han State, and the Jinyang Revolution is a conspiracy against our Great Qin, and it is very likely that a large number of Han cavalry have entered Jinyang County under the cover of the Zhao army." ”
After Gou Yi finished speaking, he found that the tooth general was standing there and stammering without moving, and he couldn't help but be angry, and stepped forward with a kick and kicked the tooth general on his stomach, "Are you deaf?" Don't do it yet. ”
"Yes, General Gou, the last general will do it immediately!" The tooth general got up from the ground and ran out in despair.
Gou Yi was anxiously turning around in the tent that had been erected temporarily, and it was very risky for him to make such a judgment with a weapon, and once it was later confirmed that this was not the case, his future would be greatly affected by this, but compared to the possible danger, Gou Yi had no heart to consider these things.
Now what he wants to think about is not how to break through the blockade of the Zhao army to Jinyang City, but how to withdraw safely, if all speculation is true, there is no doubt that in Jinyang City, Yang Jie's five thousand Qin troops should no longer exist at this time.
"After the order was given, the left army continued to attack, but the intensity of the attack decreased, and the main attack was a diversion attack, and the right army and the center army began to retreat quietly after dark. The three armies alternately covered and disengaged from the enemy. ”
Having made up his mind, Gou Yi immediately issued a series of orders. He is not worried that Zhao Xilie will find out his whereabouts, because even if he knows, he will not have the courage to chase him, you line up in formation, I am helpless, but if you kick your nose in the face and dare to catch up, then don't worry about me.
The cavalry on the left side of the Qin army has maintained an attack strength every half an hour or so, and the intensity of the attack is not like the first wave of attacks, it is like thunder, it seems to be fierce, but it is actually scratching the boots, and it will retreat immediately if it encounters a slight obstacle, and in the attack of the left cavalry, the right and the cavalry of the Chinese army began to make exact preparations for retreat.
Winter nights, always dark very early, coupled with the extremely bad weather, wind and snow all over the sky, very early, the sky darkened, the Qin army's attack suddenly stopped, under the cover of wind and snow and night, they broke away from the battlefield and retreated in the direction of Lubin, Gou Yi now only wants to meet his own infantry, and then the first step is to retreat to Lubin first, and then retreat to Hangu Pass.
Gou Yi's reaction was not unpleasant, but faster than him, it was the two cavalry of the Han Dynasty, when Gou Yi guessed the truth and began to prepare to retreat, the two Han cavalry had already arrived at the attack position and launched a rapid attack on the infantry team of the Qin army.
In the past two years, the Qin army has almost regarded the territory of Zhao as its own back garden, coming and going, this time on the march, there are cavalry in front of the road, up to the leading general, down to the flat-headed soldiers, no one thought that they would encounter a large-scale enemy cavalry attack on their own territory.
In the snowstorm, more than 10,000 Qin infantry dragged into a long line, and the line that stretched for miles was placed on the road in a long line, which became an excellent target for cavalry attacks. The sound of the howling wind and snow drowned out the sound of the approaching cavalry, and when the first Han cavalry rushed into the Qin army and began to slash and slaughter, the Qin army barely reacted.
Groups of cavalry are like the sickles of death, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Qin soldiers, without thick formations, without long-range weapons and obstacles, the infantry against the cavalry, it is a tragic end.
The cruel reality of more than 10,000 cavalry against more than 15,000 infantry, and even the strength of the two sides was almost the same, made the Qin army have no resistance at all, and the Qin army collapsed in less than a pillar of incense after the sudden attack began.
It can't be said that the Qin soldiers were not brave, in such an unfavorable situation, they still resisted bravely at the beginning, but the huge gap in strength soon destroyed everyone's confidence, in persevering, not brave, but to die, in vain, the Qin soldiers were scattered, in the wind and snow, there were fleeing figures and pursuing cavalry teams everywhere, and the fleeing Qin army was either killed after being caught up by the Han Dynasty cavalry, or they dropped their weapons, raised their hands and surrendered to the opponent, more than 10,000 Qin troops, in a short period of time, All were defeated.
In the wind and snow, Gao Yuan stood under the banner, looking at this one-sided Qin army, he couldn't help but shake his head, no matter how elite the troops were, they would not have the slightest ability to resist in such a situation.
"Pass the order, try to capture the prisoners, don't kill indiscriminately, these are all good young adults, and they will also be my Han's people in the future!" Gao Yuandao, this order is because this time he came with two foreign cavalry, the Hun cavalry ** division Gu Li was originally the daughter of the Hun royal court, the whole clan, was killed by the Qin people more than ten years ago, only she escaped by luck, and hated the Qin people like bones, if she could kill one more person, she would never kill one less.
When night fell, the battle was over, half of the more than 10,000 Qin soldiers were killed, more than half were taken prisoner, and there was not one person who could escape in the wind and snow.
When Gou Yi evacuated Maoershan and got rid of contact with Zhao Xilie, the infantry team he dragged behind had been wiped out, and he was also moving towards a death trap step by step.
More than 10,000 Han cavalry were waiting for his arrival. To be continued. ~Search the basket*, you can read the full text of the following chapters
