Chapter 412: Fierce Battle
The armies on the left and right flanks have already made head-on contact with the Otsuki reinforcements, and in terms of troops, the strength of the two sides is almost the same. The number of reinforcements in Dayue was around 50,000, and the Qin army also had more than 40,000 people. The advantage of the Qin army lies in the advantage of armor and weapons, while the Dayue people are more skilled in bows and horses.
Whether it is Dayue, Xiongnu, or Donghu, they are all a people on horseback, and even seven or eight-year-old children in the tribe began to practice playing the bow on the horse, which is incomparable to the soldiers of the Qin army, after all, only after the adult in Daqin, the army has the opportunity to contact horses and crossbows.
When it comes to cavalry and archery, the Great Qin soldiers are not comparable to the Great Moon people, but the iron armor and crossbow arrows of the Great Qin soldiers are not comparable to the leather armor and bows and arrows on the Great Moon people.
At the same time, the Qin army chariot soldiers in front of him also officially pressed up. The chariot soldiers belonged to the special class of the Qin army, and this branch of the army was even about to be eliminated a few years ago. However, since Meng Tian's legions were equipped with artillery, they found that the combination of chariots and artillery had a miraculous effect.
Blocked by the chariots at the forefront, this is a weakened version of the Great Wall, and at this time, with the chariots blocked, the Donghu cavalry could not charge up for a while, so it gave the Qin artillery a long time to open fire.
"Wind, wind, wind."
Hideous and heavy chariots walked at the forefront of the battle array, these chariots have been modified, the speed is not fast, but the victory is too heavy to block the front for a while and a half. In the rear of the chariots were the infantry guarding the artillery, and the artillerymen pushed the heavy iron cannons and walked in the safest rear.
Seeing that Donghu's troops had already entered the range of the cannon, Meng Tian rode on his horse, pulled out the long sword at his waist, waved the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Artillery preparation." ”
"Reload."
"Launch."
"Boom, boom, boom."
The artillery in Meng Tian's army is a large exterminating cannon, and this shell can kill and injure more than a dozen people in an instant. Explosions sounded, and the Donghu people's military formation instantly became vulnerable, and one after another Donghu soldiers fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the Donghu people were a little dumbfounded. When the Qin army and the Huns were fighting, Donghu was also there. Although the Great Qin army at that time was powerful, it was still in the stage of hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons. But what is going on now, before the two have officially contacted, the Donghu people are already dead and wounded.
It is no secret that the Qin people have artillery in the grassland, and even everyone has seen the power of artillery. But this is the first time that the Donghu people have encountered such a situation of intensive artillery fire. However, since the fight has already begun, it has to continue to fight in difficult situations.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
The war drums on Donghu's side became more and more intense, and the sound of war drums seemed to want to suppress the roar of Daqin's artillery, and also suppress the fear in the hearts of Donghu people.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the Qin army continued to advance forward, constantly compressing the living space of the Donghu people. Ahead, the Donghu soldiers were quickly handling the chariots of the Qin army. Only by completely disposing of the chariots blocking in front and completely mixing the soldiers on both sides, the artillery of the Qin army became an ornament.
The Donghu people are also ruthless now, one after another towards the front, it's like the big guy meets the big girl, and the one who has no skills wins and scolds inside. Now it's a hard slam inside, a hard one doesn't let it, staggering, not to mention the more and more blood flows, both sides are uncomfortable to death.
The Donghu people are completely fighting with their lives, one after another towards the front. The soldier standing on the Qin army with a spear was exhausted at this time, and the spear in his hand maintained a posture of stabbing forward, completely relying on a willpower to insist.
With the hard rush of the Donghu people regardless of the casualties, the chariot soldiers in front finally couldn't resist, and at this time, the corpses on the ground had completely submerged the chariots, and the Donghu cavalry stepped on the corpses on the ground, crossed the battlefield, and rushed towards the Qin army's battle array.
"Kill, kill, kill."
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Ahh
At this time, the Donghu cavalry had completely rushed into the battle formation of Daqin, and the sound of swords and guns, the neighing of horses, and the screams of people were endless.
In the frontal troops, the Qin army was more infantry, while the Donghu army was more cavalry. Therefore, when the Donghu cavalry rushed in, with the charging power of the horse, it instantly brought a lot of casualties to the Qin army.
"Order, spearmen are the mainstay, shield soldiers are auxiliary, no matter what, I must withstand this round of charge." Meng Tian looked at the battlefield and quickly made adjustments according to the situation on the battlefield. Meng Tian is not a loss is the top handsome talent in Great Qin, and this battle of hundreds of thousands of people on both offensive and defensive sides is like a leisurely stroll in his hands.
Meng Tian knew in his heart that although the cavalry and infantry had an advantage in the battle, eighty percent of these advantages were in the first wave of charge. In the first wave of charges, the cavalry borrowed the horsepower of the horse, and the horse borrowed the power of the man, and had a powerful impact force. But once this first wave of attacks is withheld, the cavalry is surrounded by infantry. They stepped off their horses and could not run, so the gap between the cavalry and the infantry was narrowed wirelessly.
The tenacity of the Qin army was really full, and the black-pressed Donghu cavalry collided with it, but it did not break up the battle formation of the Qin army, but slammed straight into the spears of the Qin army's outstretched shield array, one by one, like wearing a sugar gourd, which was pierced through.
Of course, the effect of force is mutual, the Donghu cavalry is not comfortable here, and the Qin army in charge of defense is not much better, but fortunately, it can be regarded as blocking the charge of the Donghu cavalry.
The battle had been fought for two hours, and the soldiers on both the front and the left and right flanks were exhausted, and almost all the troops on both sides had been put into the battlefield.
"Wang Li, lead your people, give me a direct Donghu Danyu." Suddenly, Meng Tian ordered Wang Li behind him.
"Meng Shuai, I'm leaving, and there's no one in front of you?" Wang Li retorted.
The Qin army was originally at a disadvantage, and now Meng Tian only had 10,000 people under Wang Li in front of him, and if Wang Li left, Meng Tian would really only have a few hundred guards around him.
"Enforce military orders." Meng Tian didn't explain too much, and there was no doubt in his tone.
"Yes." Wang Li responded.
In fact, at this time, the situation of the Donghu people was the same as that of Daqin, and they had almost all their troops on the battlefield, and at this time, Donghu was only more than 20,000 people by his side. Once Wang Li's side attacked, they would inevitably have to be forced to defend. As long as the frontal Qin army is not defeated, there is no need to worry about Meng Tian's safety.
