Wei Baichuan hurriedly ordered the iron chariot soldiers in the camp to step forward. γFengyun Reading Network. Copy URL visit: 7777772e766f6474772e636f6d
These iron chariot soldiers were originally to deal with the Houjin cavalry outside the plug, the outside of the car was covered with iron sheets, the inside was hard jujube wood, even the wheels were wrapped with iron, inlaid with nails, very strong, the whole car was like a carriage, and the archers could also be hidden inside, and the front of the car was nailed with big nails, and the nail head was facing outward, like the teeth of a fierce beast, which was very terrifying.
The Ironchariot Corps was a defensive weapon that could form a formation in an open area to block the onslaught of cavalry. Each cart was heavy and had to be pushed by two people, so the iron cart could only be used for defense and could not be attacked. Wei Baichuan knew that when the Qin army came to sneak attack, he would inevitably use a large number of cavalry, so when he was ambushed, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the Qin cavalry from breaking through, so he brought out the iron chariot, which came in handy at this time.
A hundred iron carts rumbled out, these iron carts had never been used, and the depictions on the bodies were very bright, all of them depicted hideous monsters, used to intimidate the horses.
The iron chariot was in front, the officers and troops were regrouped in the rear, and the scattered formation slowly closed.
Li Dang led three hundred heavy armored cavalry, just broke through a gap, and a row of huge iron cars came in front of him, when the head was blocked, his heart couldn't help but be stunned, and he looked at it intently, only to see that these iron cars were five feet high, more than four feet wide, wrapped in iron blades, and there were dense rows of big nails in front of the car, and the nails were more than a foot long, and the carriages were painted with monsters, which looked very fierce.
After Li Dang's resurrection, he fought for a few years, and he had never seen an iron chariot soldier, and he used to fight against the official army in Guanzhong, but there was no iron chariot, and only then did he know that the official army still had such a powerful thing.
The Qin army was stunned, the officers and soldiers were not lazy, once the iron car was pushed, it did not stop, and it rumbled towards the Qin army.
Li Dang was shocked, in the face of such an iron guy, he didn't know how to do it for a while, and in the blink of an eye, the iron car was pushed in front of Qin Jun, Li Dang and the others had no choice but to pick up the hammer in their hands and smash the carriage.
But the iron sheet wrapped on the outside of those iron cars was very thick, and it could not be broken for a while, and the body of the car was made of hard jujube wood, which was also very hard, and the iron car was pushed up after a few smashes.
The big nail in front of the car hit the war horses head-on, although those war horses were covered by leather armor, but they could not withstand the forward push of the iron car, and wanted to rush forward, but the carriage was wide and high, and the road ahead was completely blocked.
The iron car did not stop, continued to push forward, and at the same time, a small hole was opened in the lid of the carriage, revealing the official archers, also with full body iron armor, holding bows and crossbows, and firing arrows at the Qin army. These people were very close and fired at Qin Jun's face, although many of them missed, but they were also so frightened that Qin Jun raised their hands to protect their eyes, and naturally they couldn't smash the car anymore.
For a time, the war horses and the iron cart were crowded together and became a mess. Although the war horse could not withstand the iron chariot, it could only retreat step by step, and the gap that had just appeared in the official army camp immediately resumed its closure.
Wang Jian saw clearly in the back, he knew that the life and death of the 10,000 cavalry of the Qin army decided at this moment that if he could not break through the blockade of the iron car, the Qin army would be completely surrounded to death.
He shouted to Li Kang: "Get off the horse and fight, smash the iron car, smash the iron car" He knew that the most important thing at this time was to break through the car formation.
Li Dare heard Wang Qian's order and knew that the time had come, the iron car could block the war horse, but it couldn't stop the people, so he shouted loudly: "Take off the iron armor, kill the front, take the iron car, which is neglected, military law is engaged." β
When the three hundred ironclad soldiers heard this, they were stunned, in this kind of battlefield, taking off the ironclad is a trap, as a military service to the death. While hesitating, Li Dare took the lead, took off his iron helmet on the horse, took off the iron armor on his body, stood on the back of the horse, jumped up, and jumped onto the top of the iron car.
If you want to talk about light foot combat, you must be flexible, hang two layers of iron armor, not to mention fighting and fighting, flashing and moving, even if you can't run, you will inevitably be put down by the enemy. Therefore, Li Dare took off his iron armor and was the first to jump on the roof of the iron car.
At this time, the lid of the iron car was lifted, and there was an officer and soldier wearing iron armor and holding bows and arrows.
Li Dang ignored him, because the carriage was wide but the lid was small, and only one person could be exposed, just like today's car sunroof, and the outside could not hit the inside, so he jumped over the iron car and jumped in front of the officers and soldiers pushing the cart.
The two officers and soldiers were pushing hard, and suddenly saw a person like a divine soldier descending from the sky, majestic, killing in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised, although Li Dang's iron armor was removed, the iron hammer was still in his palm, he picked up the iron hammer and shouted: "Go." β
Bang, an official soldier was smashed on the helmet by Li Dang's hammer, Li Dang was born with divine power, although the official army was wearing an iron helmet, he couldn't stand it, the iron helmet was immediately flattened, and a head was smashed to the bone and the skin was opened, and it burst out.
Another officer and soldier groaned, put down the wheel, pulled out the iron whip from his side, and fought with Li Dang, and the two hammered and clinked, similar to striking iron.
The officers and soldiers behind the iron car took a look, knowing that Li Dang was going to destroy the iron car, how could they let it go, and they all rushed up together, wanting to kill Li Dang, Li Dang was ruthless, and the iron hammer was opened, and the mountain sounded, and within five feet around, the living were not allowed to advance.
The three hundred Qin troops behind looked at it, General Li Kang was desperate, which one dared to lag behind, took off his armor one by one, and also followed Li Kang's example, jumped over the iron car, and started a melee with the officers and soldiers.
No one pushed the car, so it stopped, and the Qin army behind took a breath, and Wang Jian ordered to destroy the iron car immediately and rush away from the road.
The Qin soldiers and horses rushed to the iron car, and these people also fought desperately, picked up the hammer and whip, and smashed the carriage. After smashing a few times, I saw that I couldn't move, and I became angry for a while and cursed one after another. Wang Jian shouted: "Don't smash the car, go smash the wheel." β
This reminded the Qin army that the wheels were also wooden, although they were also wrapped with iron, but they were always more fragile than the carriages, so many Qin soldiers jumped off their horses, carried iron hammers, and smashed them according to the wheels.
This time it was the right place, how could the wheels withstand such a fierce blow, and after a few blows, they broke one after another, the iron car lost its wheels and fell crookedly, and the officers and soldiers inside climbed out and were also smashed to the ground by the Qin army.
The iron car had no protection, and the Qin army stepped forward one after another, moved the iron car away, cleared the road, and finally opened a road after a short time.
At this time, Li Dang was also exhausted, after all, a hammer weighing more than ten catties could not dance for a long time, and after a scuffle, he was injured in three places, although it was not fatal, it was also bleeding. The Qin soldiers and horses rushed over, and someone brought war horses to Li Dang, Li Dare lifted the hammer upside down and flew on the horse, and his 300 daring soldiers also died no less than 200, and the rest of the people also got on their horses and attacked again.
Wang Jian asked Li Dang to return to the Chinese army to rest, personally lead the front army, and began another assault.
The iron car of the official army was broken, and there was a panic for a while, and the men and horses behind rushed up, but they couldn't stop the elite Qin army, and the camp was torn apart again.
At this time, Wei Baichuan was covered with sweat, and he knew that if he couldn't contain the Qin army anymore, the big net he had laid would be pierced, and the Qin army would break through.
When he was anxious, Shi Kefa Pegasus arrived, he was in the camp, saw that the Qin army began to retreat, and it was surrounded by the official army, so he abandoned the camp and led 3,000 people to kill it, but they were infantry, not as fast as the cavalry, and they had just arrived at this time.
Shi Kefa felt bad when he saw that the Qin army was desperately breaking through and was about to break out. He naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and at this time, seeing that the official army was about to be unable to encircle, he rushed to Wei Baichuan and arched his hand: "Marshal, don't fight hard with the Qin army, we only have more than 30,000 people, in terms of the art of war, ten will surround it, five will attack it, our men and horses are only twice as many as the Qin army, and now the Qin army is concentrating on assault, and the encirclement cannot be encircled." In my opinion, it is better for us to open the net, let them escape, and then follow them behind, and drive them back to Guanzhong, there will definitely be a lot of Qin troops killed and wounded, and we can also lose some less manpower. β
When Wei Baichuan heard this, he was deeply impressed in his heart, this Shi Kefa saw the opportunity properly, arranged the law, and was handsome, so he ordered the men and horses in the south, don't fight hard, you can let the Qin army out.
At this time, the officers and troops in the south were like an amnesty, and they couldn't resist the frontal impact of the Qin army, but they didn't dare to retreat, they were afraid of military law, so they had to grit their teeth and stand up.
Wang Jian commanded the Qin army, like a flood that burst the embankment, and killed it through the gap.
Wei Baichuan stared with wide eyes, only to see that the men and horses of the Qin army after the break and the men and horses fighting on both wings also rushed out, and then the handsome flag was pointed, and 30,000 officers and soldiers followed closely and began to chase and kill.
Li Dare in the Chinese army, also burst out, as soon as he saw the posture of the officers and soldiers, he knew that they wanted to chase and annihilate themselves, which was very unfavorable, because once the trapped enemy rushed out, he was bound to have no heart to fight, and he was bent on fleeing.
He rushed to Wang Jian and said: "General, the officers and soldiers are chasing and killing behind, which is not good for our army." I will give you the order to lead my men behind to stop the pursuers. Wang Jian was more aware of the current situation, he looked at Li Kang's injury, and shouted: "You lead people to retreat first, and I will break the back." β
Wang Jian couldn't help but say, ordered Li Dang to lead 8,000 cavalry, quickly withdraw, with less than 2,000 people, slow down, these 2,000 people with bows and crossbows, turned over and shot back, and shot the officers and soldiers who rushed closer off their horses.
The officers and soldiers did not show weakness, and fired arrows one after another, and the arrows on both sides were like flying locusts, and people continued to fall from their horses.
Wang Jian saw that he couldn't stop the offensive of the official army, and frowned secretly, he was familiar with military books and tactics, and now it was time to show a defeat strategy.
