Chapter 311: Life and Death Fight
The Qin army did not give the enemy any damage, and in the blink of an eye, under the blow of the enemy, in the killing of each other at home, they lost the crossbowmen array that they relied on the most and gave long-distance killing to the enemy, and the Qin army lost the first game.
Faced with such a situation, King Qin did not panic, he decisively ordered: "Chariot, impact the enemy's formation." ”
With an order, the two thousand chariots of the Qin army were launched together on the left and right, and rumbled towards these attacking infantry phalanxes, and they were ready to have such a method to block the charging enemy and leave time for their infantry phalanx to reorganize.
Two thousand chariots, equal to two thousand tanks in later generations, are launched together, and that kind of prestige, there is no need to fight against each other, and the momentum of that explosion is enough to make the enemy frightened.
Zhao Xing coldly ordered: "The left and right cavalry, 10,000 each, block the attack." ”
With Zhao Xing's order, Zhao Hao's order flag waved, and the 20,000 cavalry were divided into left and right, and greeted the Qin army's chariots with overwhelming momentum.
Kura, who had become a captain, led 10,000 cavalry warriors and rushed to the opposite chariot, and when the first batch of crossbow arrows of the enemy on the chariot flew, Kuraliang's war horse turned left, charged from the front, and immediately adjusted to go around the formation, so that the enemy's bulky chariot lost its target. In order to fight with the cavalry, the enemy's chariot had to adjust the mobilization and pursuit, so the two sides circled back and forth.
However, in such a circling strangulation, the flexible characteristics of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were revealed. And the bulky chariot, even under the control of the well-trained Yujung, began to collide during the second lap, and slowly began to be slow and chaotic.
The goal of the Tang army was achieved, and Cang Liang ordered loudly: "Take the unit as a unit, concentrate on shooting the crossbowmen on the chariot." ”
In Mercedes, even a crossbow arrow will lose its accuracy? But concentrated shooting? You can shoot enemies just by chance.
A group of ten people, shooting at three armor soldiers on a chariot? The effect is quite noticeable.
On the chariot? The left of the chariot with a bow and a crossbow and the right of the chariot with a spear and the royal jun are all heavy infantry, wearing armor and armor? Relatively heavy to turn, although the crossbowmen on the chariot have a long range? But there are few people? And the fire is slow, making it harder to aim at the cavalry that is speeding around.
But Zhao Xing shot in a covered way, the arrows rained densely, and the cavalry crossbow was transformed by the children of the Mo family of the Hundred Techniques Palace? Fast reloading? Immediately, the entire chariot was covered in a continuous stream of crossbow arrows, and almost every team of ten people could kill three enemies on the chariot when the enemy had two crossbow arrows and killed and injured one or two Tang cavalrymen.
The battle is on? The battle is going on, and the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing.
King Qin saw his own chariot to attack? The hovering enemy cavalry was used as a target, and immediately and decisively ordered? A thousand chariots on the left and right, lined up in a horizontal column? Hold back the hovering enemy cavalry.
A thousand chariots rushed out of the main formation again? Line up in a straight line? Boom blocked the cavalry of the Tang Army that was circling around. When a cavalry loses its flexibility, it loses its maximum power.
"Shoot a horse, shoot a pulled war horse." Zhao Hao ordered loudly. Shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, capture a thief and capture the king first, this is the art of war.
The soldiers immediately attacked the chariots and horses that blocked their progress.
But the horses of the Qin chariot have horse faces, that is, they are made of raw cowhide, which not only has a fierce picture to deter the enemy, but also is strong and unbreakable (later generations have tested, a fifty-kilogram hard crossbow really can't penetrate raw cowhide)
What to do if the effect is not good, Zhao Xing once again sent 20,000 cavalry to "light torches and burn." ”
Instead of burning the chariot, he used torches to terrify the horses of the Qin chariots.
All livestock are born with a fear of fire.
One by one, the torches were thrown into the formation of the enemy's chariots, which really caused panic among the war horses, but Yu Rong, who was driving, controlled the war horses with his skillful skills.
"Tune the crossbow arrows of the Xi army, shoot the horses."
Xu Jie pleaded.
Zhao Xing saw that his infantry had collided with the enemy's infantry, and the Poxi Army really couldn't play any role anymore, so he decisively ordered the Poxi Army to change the bed and crossbow to shoot the enemy's chariot and war horse.
This method worked, no matter how thick the horse-faced vest was, it could not resist the sharpness of the bed's crossbow armor-piercing cone, and a war horse pulling the cart was pierced by an arrow and fell to the ground, and other war horses were also taken down. For a moment, the horses fell over, the ruts broke, the dust on the battlefield was high, and the men shouted and the horses neighed.
And the pawns in front of them are even more difficult to kill.
Zhao Xing's Poxi army had great achievements, and in just a blink of an eye, the powerful crossbowmen of the Qin army were wiped out, but the powerful Qin army's foot soldiers were intact.
Taking advantage of the impact of the Qin army's strong crossbowmen on the main formation, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to press his 80,000 infantry to the 100,000 Qin army's large array, and the two armies collided together in a blink of an eye, and the overwhelming white and black torrents collided, which was a tragic battle.
Spears and spears collide with each other, swords slash and kill, and blood and life are here to explain what it means to be worthless.
Eighty thousand against one hundred thousand. In this battlefield of more than 400,000 people, there is no substantial difference.
The Tang army spared no money to equip each soldier with iron helmets, and strong and unbreakable plate armor, so that the Qin army's swords and swords could hardly hurt, and the soldiers had sharp and lengthened ring hand knives, slashing at the enemy like a broken leather.
From the beginning of this battle, the vassal states saw the great advantage of the thick and long iron weapon, and the disadvantage of the short and fragile bronze sword, and from then on, the iron sword, two hundred years in advance, officially went to the battlefield and lasted for two thousand years.
Although the Qin army does not have the advantage of the Tang army in terms of equipment, their military merit reward system, the blood of the Rong people in the blood of the Qin people, and the bravery integrated into the bloodline of hundreds of years of conquest make them fearless of death.
A group rushed up, a group prepared, died in battle, filled up, and did not retreat and flinch.
Those who do not have a helmet fight bravely, and those who have a helmet, who dislike his bulkiness and affect their combat power, abandon him, and rush to kill with a spear and a shield and sword.
Both sides shouted their own slogans of faith, and although there were many dead and wounded, and although rivers of blood flowed, no one flinched. On the front line of the two armies, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides accumulated higher and higher, and finally formed a high wall where the soldiers of both sides gathered.
But in the face of such a high wall, the soldiers of both sides did not flinch, they took the weapons in their hands, howled, climbed up, died in battle, raised this wall, rolled down, and were drowned by their own or the enemy's footsteps.
In the face of such a tragic battle, Zhao Xing's face was expressionless, although his infantry was not as many as the enemy, but the equipment and protection were stronger than the enemy, while his cavalry was more than the enemy. Looking at the tragic battlefield, Zhao Xing was waiting, he was waiting for the infantry on both sides to be completely entangled, and he had to completely entangle the 100,000 Qin army infantry. He was waiting, waiting for his 40,000 cavalry to entangle the enemy's charioteers, so that the chariots protecting the left and right flanks of the Qin army's infantry formation could not move.
Then, the 60,000 cavalry in his hands came out and launched a devastating assault on the enemy.
