Chapter 856: Tu Xian's Little Trouble (Third Update)
Fighting a war, especially a battle with thousands of troops, pays attention to a move to see a move. If there is movement in the position of the Qin army, then the Zhao army's side naturally has to respond immediately.
"Tu Xian, I'll give you 3,000 cavalry, you go to the right flank to contain those Qin infantry on the left flank of the enemy, so that they can't join forces with the Chinese army, understand?"
"General Zhao Kuo, you will take three thousand people to contain the Chinese army of the Qin army, delay their advance speed, and don't let them break through your defense line!"
"General Yiqusheng, you will take two thousand armored cavalry to attack the right flank of the Qin army, you must end the battle in the shortest possible time, and then return to the division of the Chinese army and defeat the Qin people!"
Li Mu's orders were issued one by one, and one after another Zhao generals began to take orders, and the large array of the Zhao army quickly became lively.
Groups of cavalry galloped out with countless billowing smoke and dust, coupled with those Zhao cavalry who kept raising dust in the center of the battlefield, the sight of the entire battlefield had been completely obscured, and neither Li Mu nor Wang Jian could observe the battlefield and the enemy's situation by sight.
At this time, it will be the accuracy of the scouts' reconnaissance intelligence and the generals' judgment to be tested.
Tu Xian led three thousand cavalry to rush out with great interest, heading towards the left flank of the Qin army.
Although there has been a big battle just now, for Tu Xian, who has been begging for a living on horses all year round, it is not a big problem even if it is a continuous battle for a day.
Only more battles will lead to more feats!
In Tu Xian's view, the people of Qin were simply sending themselves war exploits.
But unlike before, this time Tu Xian encountered a lot of trouble.
The left flank of the Qin army was almost entirely infantry, so the speed of the advance was actually not very fast.
Tu Xian's plan is actually very simple, that is, to first limit the cavalry shooting, and then wait until the Qin army's infantry formation is chaotic to come to the next wave of charge, and then he can completely defeat these Qin people in front of him in one fell swoop.
However, before Tu Xian could approach his range, a bad feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of Tu Xian's heart.
"Not good!" Tu Xian screamed, and suddenly fell on his horse.
"Whoosh!" The next moment, a dense stream of crossbow arrows came overwhelmingly.
Dozens of Zhao cavalry who rushed to the front were defenseless, screaming and falling off their horses, and even the advance speed of the entire Zhao cavalry group was stagnant.
"Crossbow!" Tu Xian regretted it in his heart, secretly hating why he hadn't thought of this earlier.
Although in terms of mobility, the cavalry can turn the infantry into scum in seconds, but in terms of range, the longbow in Tu Xian's hand is obviously far from being comparable to the crossbow in the hands of the Qin people.
Tu slanted his eyes, stretched out his hand, and let out two short and sharp whistles in a row.
Now that things have changed, Tu Xian himself must also take the initiative to change.
After Tu Xian's whistle, the cavalry of the Zhao State was immediately divided into two teams, the left and right, and they were rapidly approaching the infantry of the Qin army from two different directions.
Such a passive beating is obviously completely undesirable, and it is necessary to rush in front of the Qin people and let the cavalry of the Zhao army also enter the firing range!
The crossbowmen of the Qin army were obviously extremely well-trained, and after a short moment, another wave of arrows came rapidly.
But this time, the cavalry of the Zhao army were prepared and began to show their magic skills to dodge the crossbow arrows.
Even so, casualties are inevitable, albeit much less than before.
After withstanding two waves of crossbow arrows in a row, Tu Xian finally rushed to a distance of about 100 steps.
Without any hesitation, the three arrows were almost simultaneously placed on the bowstring, and Tu obliquely bent the bow towards the sky, and his fingers loosened slightly.
"Whoosh!"
The rain of arrows counterattack from the Zhao army has finally arrived.
A dense rain of arrows flew through the sky like black locusts, and then fell into the Qin army's position.
Tu Xian didn't hesitate without any hesitation, and continued to take out arrows from the quiver behind him, while continuing to rush towards the Qin army's position in front of him non-stop.
Tu Xian's heart knew very well that since there were crossbowmen, he only needed to break through the defense line composed of giant shield soldiers and pikemen in front of him and rush into the crossbowmen's position, and he would basically win this battle!
But it was at this time that the third wave of long-range attacks from the Qin army also arrived.
A crossbow arrow whistled through the air and headed towards Tu.
At such a distance, Tu Xian's dodge space and reaction time were actually extremely limited, and he only had time to deflect his head slightly with the fastest speed, and then the crossbow arrow slashed across his cheek, hitting a Hun cavalryman behind him, causing the Hun cavalry to fall directly from his horse.
His cheeks were hot and painful, and he knew that he must be injured without looking at Tu Xian.
"Damn the people of Qin!" Tu Xian's heart was furious, and he was angry at the despicability and shamelessness of the people of the Qin State, and on the other hand, he was secretly blaming himself for having such a big omission.
But in any case, it always takes time to wind the crossbow, and after surviving this wave of attacks, the Qin army's crossbow arrows will never be able to fire the next wave before Tu Xian begins to attack the Qin army's position.
Tu Xian sneered a few times, and suddenly let out a long, non-stop whistle.
This represents a command, and that is – forward, forward, forward!
After hearing this order, all the cavalry of the Zhao army instantly accelerated, shouted and raised the swords in their hands, and came towards the infantry phalanx of the Qin army with murderous energy.
Zhao Jun's discipline is vividly reflected at this moment, even if there are countless huge shields standing in front of him, he is likely to be smashed to pieces when he rushes up, but he still moves forward!
The captain of the Qin army seemed to be obviously prepared, and issued the order in an orderly manner: "Shield soldiers form a formation!" Pikemen out! Crossbowmen speed up and fire when you're ready! ”
Just when he was still about fifty steps away from the Qin army, Tu Xian suddenly leaned over the saddle bag and fished it out, and when he came out again, there were already two more black balls in his right hand.
Grenade, Tu Xian has loved this thing since he saw the display of the craftsmen.
Today, Tu Xian was finally able to let this treasure exert power in his own hands.
Ignition.
The fuse began to burn like the whispers of ghosts, calling for hell.
Thirty steps.
"Go!" Tu Xian raised his hand vigorously, and two grenades were thrown into the Qin army's position with a trace of smoke in the air.
At the same time as Tu Xian threw the grenade, the eight elite cavalry of the Zhao Army, who had been closely following Tu Xian, who could almost be called a combination of men and horses, also threw the grenade in their hands at the same time.
Ten grenades fell into the Qin army's position, but the Qin army did not react to this.
Twenty steps.
The next moment, a loud bang mixed with countless screams suddenly erupted, the explosion of the grenade filled everyone's eardrums, and countless stumps and severed arms flew wantonly in the air.
In front of Tu Xian, several shields fell at the same time, and the shield soldiers behind the shields were either dead or wounded, and they were no longer able to maintain their shield array.
Tu Xian smiled, the saber in his hand had been raised high, and even the men and horses crashed into the position of the Qin army without stopping.
The real bloody storm has just begun.
