Chapter 159: No Retreat

"Wheels!"

1,300 chariots, surrounded by unarmed soldiers, stretched for more than 30 miles.

The so-called unarmed soldiers are the rest of the infantry with each vehicle as the center of the battle, they are armed with a variety of weapons, and form a strict battle formation with the chariot.

According to the different needs of the war, the focus of the weapons equipped is also different, and the number of apprentices in each chariot is roughly about 50 to 100 people.

"Wheels!"

The tall chariot was pulled by four horses, and the three armorers on the chariot were almost all elites from a hundred.

The archer on the left is called 'Che Zuo', also known as 'Kamoru'.

A guard holds a bow and shoots the main shot.

He is a carefully selected marksman, the one who attacks the main chariot, and the head of a chariot.

Kamori's precise marksmanship, combined with his condescending angles, can make them a nightmare for enemies on the battlefield.

The armor on the right is called 'car right', also known as 'participation'.

Ride a spear or spear, stab the main stab, and have the responsibility of removing obstacles for the chariot and defending against enemies who are close to the chariot.

The one in the center is the one who drives the chariot, and only carries the short sword of the guard, and is responsible for driving, and does not participate in the battle.

The division of labor is clear, and it is also a vehicle soldier representing the strength of the country during the Warring States Period, so it appeared on the battlefield in a mighty way.

"Wheels!"

Surrounded by unarmed soldiers, the chariot headed toward the clearing in the northern part of the canyon, and the ground shook with its orderly steps.

The baremen on the left and right sides of the chariot were mainly shield and spearmen.

The two are combined with chariots, and can form a spear formation that specializes in restraining cavalry, which is the most perfect for dealing with the Huns.

The speed of the chariot was not slow, but unfortunately it was dragged down by the unarmed soldiers, so it could only move slowly.

They also did not dare to break away from the protection of the unarmed soldiers, otherwise when facing the cavalry, due to the lack of mobility, they would be restrained by the cavalry.

"Boom!"

At the same time, Zhao Jia, Wang Qian, Sima Shang and others, commanding 10,000 Shenqi land elite cavalry, plus nearly 10,000 cavalry in northern Xinjiang, charged forward.

The hundreds of Hun cavalry who stayed at the northern entrance of the canyon suddenly saw such a formation, and they were immediately frightened.

Zhao Jia took 20,000 elite horsemen, and occupied the best position at the entrance to the north of the canyon.

"Pass my orders and be ready to fight at any time."

"Before the chariot soldiers are assembled and put on a formation, they must hold the entrance of the canyon no matter what, and they must not let the Hun cavalry break into the chariot group!"

Zhao Jia raised the long sword in his hand and shouted at the generals beside him.

The generals in the land of Shenqi suddenly agreed, and their expressions were very solemn.

They could expect that when the Xiongnu Shan Yu learned that Zhao had dispatched so many chariots and prepared so many soldiers and horses, he would definitely worry that the exit of the canyon would be blocked, and then let more than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry become turtles in the urn.

At that time, the Huns will launch a fierce attack on Zhao Jia and others at all costs.

The severity of the battle was to be expected.

Just to buy enough time for the chariot soldiers, Zhao Jia and the others had no choice, otherwise, with the mobility of the Hun cavalry, after discovering Li Mu's purpose, they would attack the chariot formation with lightning speed and disrupt Li Mu's deployment.

Even if the chariot formation is difficult to impact, the Hun cavalry can take advantage of the Zhao chariot soldiers to break through with the Hun cavalry in the canyon before completely blocking the entrance to the canyon.

Once the Hun cavalry escaped from the encirclement, with its mobility far exceeding the chariot soldiers, Li Mu could no longer surround and annihilate hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry.

It is precisely for this reason that the nearly 20,000 cavalry led by Zhao Jia has become the most critical factor.

If Zhao Jia can block more than 100,000 Hun cavalry, after more than 1,000 chariots and soldiers form a formation and completely block the entrance to the canyon, Xiongnu Shan Yu and others will become turtles in the urn.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Sure enough, not long after hundreds of Hun cavalry fled, King Zuo Xian had already rushed out of the entrance of the canyon with the Hun army.

The north wind is howling, people are shouting and horses are neighing, and flags are hunting.

"Kill!"

After King Zuo Xian rushed out of the canyon with the Hun cavalry, he didn't have any superfluous nonsense at all, and directly ordered the warriors of all tribes to launch the most fierce attack on the 20,000 cavalry commanded by Zhao Jia.

He knew very well that the mobility ability that the Hun cavalry relied on must not be lost.

Otherwise, more than 100,000 Hun cavalry will become lambs to the slaughter, and the tragic fate will be difficult to describe.

"Boom!"

The cavalry was vertical and horizontal, and the flat land, which stretched for dozens of miles, was crowded.

They brandished their weapons and screamed and charged, and the momentum was extremely amazing.

"Kill!"

Zhao Jia looked at the Hun cavalry rushing densely, and his face showed an extremely solemn look.

If the terrain is open enough, let more than 100,000 Hun cavalry set up a position to charge, even if Zhao Jia's 10,000 cavalry are equipped with stirrups, they will quickly be divided and surrounded by a large number of Hun cavalry.

Fortunately, in the open space where the two sides were fighting, more than 100,000 Hun cavalry were not allowed to rush out in a swarm.

Such a situation is beneficial to Zhao Jia in a short period of time.

"Kill!"

Sima Shang, as the number one general under Zhao Jia, rushes to the forefront in every battle, and this time is no exception.

He charged with his horse and his bow and arrows.

"Poof!"

The arrow pierced the sky like a meteor, piercing the throat of a Hun with great precision.

After Sima Shang shot the arrow, he didn't pay attention to whether it was missed, but quickly hung his bow on his horse, carried the spear and continued to charge.

There are only three arrows in battle.

It means that the cavalry charges the infantry, and the archer fires three arrows, and the cavalry is already charged.

At this time, both sides are cavalry, and if they charge face to face, I am afraid that they will not be able to shoot two arrows, and an encounter has already broken out.

If it were the rest of the people, it would be impossible and would not dare to shoot people with bows and arrows during the charge.

Only a figure like Sima Shang can do this.

"Poof!"

Almost as soon as he replaced the spear, Sima Shang had already rushed into the Hun formation, and the spear in his hand kept stabbing out, and every time a Hun cavalryman fell to the ground.

As soon as the cavalry of the two sides fought, the 10,000 elite cavalry from the land of Shenqi burst out with incredible combat effectiveness.

Because of the stirrups, the strength of the 10,000 cavalry in the land of Shenqi is far greater than that of the Huns, and the grasp of physical balance is also obviously superior.

In this way, Sima Shang actually took 20,000 people with him, causing great casualties to the Huns who were several times his size.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

When the teeth of the two sides are staggered together, and the speed of the horse's charge is reduced, although the possession of the stirrup still has the upper hand, the advantage is also greatly reduced.

On the other hand, the Hun cavalry could rely on the advantage of being outnumbered to besiege the cavalry of the Zhao State with a small number of people.

With the passage of time, the casualties of the 20,000 cavalry commanded by Zhao Jia began to increase exponentially, and the fierce fighting between the two sides had taken the lives of nearly 3,000 Zhao cavalry in less than half an hour.

If the war continues, the 10,000 Shenqi cavalry brought by Zhao Jia, plus nearly 10,000 cavalry in northern Xinjiang, will be wiped out by the Huns sooner or later.

How.

In order to buy enough time for the chariots, even if all the cavalry was lost, Zhao Jia would not order a retreat.
