Chapter 110: Riding a Horse and Killing the Thief Chieftain

"Stomp, stomp!"

Three thousand iron horsemen galloped in, the dust covered the sky and the sun, and the galloping momentum seemed to be able to shake the heavens and the earth.

The Qin army, which was responsible for transporting the baggage, was not an elite soldier capable of fighting, and its equipment was extremely simple.

In addition, Meng Wu did not expect that Zhao Jia would actually command the cavalry to attack Qin and come to chase and kill the Qin army.

Meng Wu, who was responsible for leading the large army to march slowly, did not send elite troops to escort the baggage soldiers at all.

After the Qin army saw the cavalry of Zhao State rushing towards them, they were a little confused.

"Slow down, ride and shoot!"

The terrain here is wide, generally speaking, it is conducive to the cavalry to spread out the formation to charge, when Zhao Jia's order was issued, thousands of soldiers and horses were quickly spread out, and the speed was slowed down a lot.

"Chirp!"

Immediately afterwards, three thousand cavalrymen bent their bows and arrows on their horses, and the arrows rained down on the Qin army's formation.

"Puff puff!"

The 3,000 cavalry commanded by Zhao Jia can be regarded as the elite of the elite of the Zhao State, even if they are compared to the most elite troops of the Qin State, they can resist head-on.

Zhao Ren is good at riding and shooting, the elite of these three thousand elites, although not everyone is a marksman, the accuracy is also terrifying.

With the addition of stirrups, these cavalrymen became more and more accurate in their archery skills.

Three thousand people fired a salvo.

A round of arrow rain fell, causing hundreds of casualties to the Qin army, and this casualty ratio was simply appalling.

What made the Qin army desperate was that the three thousand cavalry of the Zhao State changed arrows very quickly, and the second round of arrow rain fell immediately, which once again caused many casualties to the Qin army.

"Raise your shield!"

"Raise your shield!"

The generals of the Qin State shouted, but in the noisy battlefield, few people could hear it.

Fortunately, even if these Qin troops were heavy soldiers, they still had some military qualities, and soon began to look for obstacles and shields everywhere to avoid the continuous rain of arrows from Zhao Guo's soldiers.

However, as a result, the formation of the Qin army became chaotic.

"Collect your bow, put your spear on, charge!"

Zhao Jia paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield, and after seeing that the Qin army was already in chaos because of the rain of arrows on his side, he immediately issued an order to charge.

"Kill!"

Three thousand iron cavalry launched a charge, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the Qin army had already begun to rout.

Only on the hill above the Qin generals, more than 2,000 Qin troops gathered, and there were some baggage carts piled up in front, wanting to take advantage of the superior terrain of the hill to block the charge of the Zhao cavalry.

"Speed piled up the baggage wagons on the road, and everyone picked up their long weapons and lined up to meet the enemy."

The defeated Qin army still bought some time for the Qin generals after all.

When Zhao Jia rushed with three thousand iron cavalry, the Qin army on the hill had already occupied a favorable position and put on a defensive posture to defend against cavalry charges.

Although the cavalry is very powerful, it also has many fatal flaws, and its combat effectiveness will be limited in many terrains.

The chaotic hill covered with mountains and rocks is not very suitable for cavalry charges, and those dense and disorderly broken stones will make many war horses lose their combat effectiveness in the process of charging.

"Childe, we killed more than 3,000 enemies in this battle, do we want to storm this hill?"

Sima Shang was covered in blood, and came to Zhao Jia's side with a little evil on his face.

Zhao Jia glanced at Sima Shang and solemnly admonished: "In cavalry combat, what is important is to fight fast and slow, and to take it by surprise, rather than forcibly attacking the fortifications. ”

"Since we have won a lot in this battle, there is no need to continue to entangle with this Qin army that occupies a favorable position!"

"Pass on our military order, burn all the baggage and materials of the Qin army, and prepare to evacuate!"

The generals of the Qin State, who were originally waiting for the battle, did not wait for the attack of the cavalry of the Zhao State, and could only watch the other party and burn all the logistics baggage of the 100,000 Qin army with one fire.

Seeing the cavalry of the Zhao State disappear, the generals of the Qin State were also quietly relieved while being bitter.

If it is a talent, Zhao Jia forcibly attacks this Pinggang, even if he uses 3,000 Zhao troops as foot soldiers, he can easily take down more than 2,000 Qin troops.

However, in that case, Zhao Guo's soldiers will inevitably have some casualties.

"Firefighting, speed firefighting!"

After the cavalry of the Zhao State completely disappeared, the generals of the Qin State looked at the baggage and materials that had not been completely burned, and immediately shouted loudly at the soldiers beside them.

When the soldiers of the Qin State got the military order, they could only brave the fire and began to rescue all kinds of supplies.

"There are still three truckloads of grain and grass here that have not been completely burned, come and put out the fire quickly, and move them out of the fire area!"

After a certain Qin State soldier saw the three carts of grain and grass, his face couldn't help but show excitement, and he yelled loudly at the robes around him.

War is fought with logistics and attrition.

Even if the Qin State is extremely rich, the demand for grain and grass is still extremely huge.

The cavalry of Zhao State burned an unknown amount of grain and grass in this raid, and now every time one more cart of grain and grass is rescued, the pressure on Qin State will be a little less.

Just when the Qin army was busy rescuing supplies, the ground shook slightly.

This time, the generals of the Qin State had already prepared and sent scouts to reconnoiter nearby, but before the cavalry of the Zhao State rushed over, the Qin army had already abandoned the rescued materials and fled to the top of the hill to garrison again.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qin State, who were disgraced by the rescue materials, showed a little worry on their faces.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and three hundred horsemen rushed at a gallop, not caring at all about the more than two thousand Qin troops on the hill, and rushed straight in the direction of those rescued materials.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the flames ignited these materials that had been rescued with great difficulty.

When the soldiers of the Qin State saw this scene, they were all stunned, gritted their teeth with hatred, and wanted to rush down to fight with the Zhao army.

"General, the three hundred cavalry actually dare to treat us as nothing, please fight and kill the enemy!"

A certain general shouted loudly, his face turned red, and he was obviously extremely annoyed.

"Don't be impulsive!"

"If these three hundred cavalry are just bait, what if Zhao Jia leads a large group of cavalry to kill me when I rush down?"

"And the cavalry is flexible and comes and goes freely, although more than 2,000 people such as me are not afraid of 300 cavalry, it may not be easy to leave them behind."

The generals of the Qin State also had some knowledge, especially after seeing the strength of the cavalry of the Zhao State, they did not dare to be careless.

"Hahaha, it is said that the Qin army's combat power is the best among all countries, and today's view of it is just a collapse of the tile, and the more than 2,000 Qin troops can only shrink on the hill and act as a shrunken turtle in the face of my 300 people!"

Sima Shang held a spear in his hand, pointed at the Qin army on the hill from afar, and laughed loudly in the dantian.

When the three hundred Zhao Jun behind him heard this, they all burst out laughing, and the color of ridicule was overflowing.

"Qin Jun, just in name, when you meet my lord Pingqi Jun, you can only do this."

Three hundred Zhao soldiers were showing off their might below, even if the Qin army was almost ten times their own, they were not afraid at all.

In the face of the unscrupulous ridicule of the three hundred Zhao soldiers, the Qin army finally couldn't bear it anymore, not only the grassroots generals, but even the ordinary soldiers also asked for battle.
