The commander of the coalition army, Pang Xuan, was cautious, and specially ordered the grain transportation team to act in a group, and at the same time appointed Wu Qiang, a general of Wei, to be responsible for coordinating the grain transportation. The Wei general Wu Qiang was the younger brother of Wu Gang, the defender of Puyang, and this time he specially requested to fight in Qin, obviously to avenge his brother who died in battle.

The nearby scout cavalry sent a warning: a varying number of Qin rangers were found.

Wu Qiang, the general of Wei, immediately ordered strictly: all departments march in groups, meet the enemy in formation, and quickly ask for reinforcements!

For five days in a row, the allied grain transport team was safe and sound, and not even a sneak attack was encountered.

Wu Qiang, the general of the Wei State, felt very strange, and immediately reported to Pang Xuan, the commander of the coalition army.

On the evening of the same day, the preparations of the Qin army were all completed.

First of all, Meng Yi ordered the black-clothed guards, the children of the family, and the hunters of the Qin army to form a perimeter cleaning circle to eradicate all the guard posts of the coalition army.

Then, Meng Yi ordered the soldiers to divide into small teams and fan around the temporary camp of the coalition army transporting grain from the east, west, and south. And in order to avoid making too much noise, the 5,000 men divided into dozens of waves and approached the perimeter of the enemy camp in batches for 500 meters.

Finally, when the personnel and materials were assembled, the time was just in the early hours of the morning. The wee hours of the morning are often when people are sleepy and tired, and the enemy is most likely to relax.

Meng Yi knew that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered three hundred ploughing cattle to be placed in three columns and besieged on three sides.

"Whoosh......" An arrow shot into the sky, and the fire bull array on three sides was also launched.

At this moment, the gate of the coalition camp was also opened by the Qin army scouts, and even a few low wooden fences were pulled out.

"The Qin army has sneak attacked, run! ……”

"Fire cows, a lot of fire cows, run for your life......"

"We're surrounded on three sides, run north......"

Countless Qin troops held several torches, drove fire oxen, burned tents when they saw them, and threw torches when they saw grain carts.

When the coalition saw that the horns of the fire ox were tied with sharp knives and its tail was ignited, they were like madness, and they were not afraid of death at all, so they rushed forward without being stunned.

When the shout sounded, Wu Qiang, the general of Wei, urgently led five hundred soldiers to rush to the south of the walled gate, but the fire bull array was too sharp, and in less than a moment, he rushed to the phalanx composed of five hundred soldiers.

Seeing that Meng Yi had successfully broken into the camp, he immediately led a thousand people to form two sharp knives with Meng Tian and continued to chase and kill any coalition soldiers who formed a formation to protect themselves, and the rest of the Qin soldiers were taken by the centurion to burn the coalition grain trucks.

At this moment, a southeast wind suddenly blew in the sky, fueling the fire. For the offensive of the Qin army, it is even more powerful.

"God will kill me!" Seeing this, Wu Qiang, the general of Wei, was almost so angry that he vomited blood. If there was no wind, the coalition forces would have been able to salvage half of the grain and grass at least by virtue of their numerical superiority.

"Withdraw, all out of the camp!" Seeing that nothing could be done, Wu Qiang, the general of Wei, did not want to sacrifice innocent soldiers.

Compared with the helplessness of the coalition forces, the Qin army is really overwhelming.

"Meng Yi, how do you know that there will be a southeast wind tonight?" Meng Tian is really completely convinced at this moment, the situation is changeable, how can ordinary people predict it!

"The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when you kill people and set fires!" Meng Yi sighed while saying poorly, "No way, good luck, no matter how you fight, it's a win!" ”

"Good luck? What kind of witchcraft are you not going to learn? Meng Tian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, big brother won't betray you!" ”

"Hey, don't be suspicious, blow the horn and retreat! The fire is too big, and if we don't retreat, it will be our turn to die in the fire. Meng Yi yelled angrily.

"Come on, withdraw! Evacuate! Meng Tian patted his head and suddenly came to his senses.

The sky was bright, and the commander of the coalition army, Pang Xuan, regardless of the hardships, stood up with his old body, and personally led 20,000 cavalry to help.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

Looking at the remnants of the camp full of smoke and ashes, the commander of the coalition army, Pang Xuan, wanted to cry without tears: This is the grain and grass of the 500,000 army for two whole months!

"Dashuai, the last general is incompetent, and he has not been able to keep the grain and grass! Please punish the commander! "Wu Qiang, the general of the Wei State, came to ask for guilt with the defeated generals of the 3,000 remnants of the army that had been gathered with great difficulty.

"Where is Qin Jun now?" How could Pang Xuan, the commander of the coalition army, have the kung fu to punish Wu Qiang, besides, Wu Qiang is a general of Wei, he can only be punished with the consent of Wei!

"The Qin army numbered about 5,000 men and went south to the Qinling Mountains. They had just walked for half an hour, and if they followed the trail of the horse's hooves, one man and two horses, they would definitely be able to catch up. Wu Qiang, the general of the Wei State, hurriedly suggested.

"Okay, you lead the way. Take all the horses, except for the five thousand elites of Ben Shuai, the rest of the people are left. Coalition coach Pang Xuan thought about it for a while and made the wisest plan.

The five thousand elites of the coalition commander Pang Xuan are all Zhao Guotie horses, skilled in equestrianism, plus one person and three horses, and the speed is extremely fast.

And Meng Yi's 5,000 men and horses fought fiercely all night, killed 500 people, and brought hundreds of wounded soldiers, one person and one horse, and couldn't go fast at all.

"Report to the general, the enemy is catching up!" A scout behind the Qin Army's palace, Pegasus, came to report.

"So fast? How many people came? Meng Yi was taken aback, it was really a turn of blessing and misfortune!

"There are about 5,000 people, but they have three horses for one person, and the equipment is all elite cavalry of Zhao State." The Qin army scout hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Okay, I got it. Order Meng Hu and Meng Wolf to lead the thousand people behind the palace, no matter what, they must hold off the enemy for half an hour. If you can't complete the task, the thousand-person team will be killed! Meng Yi immediately gave an iron-blooded order.

"Second brother, even if they drag on for half an hour, how can we run far with one person and two horses?" Meng Tian was puzzled, "Why don't you let everyone give up the horses and disperse to break through?" ”

"Scattered breakout? Die faster that way! The enemy is outnumbered and the horses are numerous, and if we abandon the horses, there is no chance of escaping back to Lisan. ”

Meng Yi immediately refused, "This place is two hundred miles away from Lishan Mountain, with countless small plains in between. Without horses, we are left to the slaughter. ”

"In this case, you can only withdraw while fighting." Meng Tian smiled bitterly, "People are sleepy and tired, how can this battle be fought?" ”

"Don't be discouraged, although the cavalry of the Zhao State is elite, they are not familiar with the terrain. When we entered the Qinling Mountains, we specially picked a place with dangerous terrain to walk. In a short period of time, they couldn't help us. Meng Yi understood that the military spirit must not be lost at this time, and immediately encouraged loudly.

"Morale can be boosted, but it can't be vented!" Meng Tian was suddenly startled, and hurriedly sent his own soldiers to publicize it to cheer everyone up.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in addition to the quality of their own horses and horses, the cavalry of various countries did not have any major differences in their methods of warfare, and they all used their super mobility to launch a rain of arrows offensive against the enemy with bows and crossbows.

However, at this time, all countries were not equipped with stirrups and Takahashi saddles, and shooting on horses often lacked accuracy. Therefore, even in long-range battles, cavalry often dismounted and shot for accuracy. If it was a close combat, the cavalry would definitely be dismounted and fought on foot. Otherwise, before he could hit the enemy, he would fall off his horse first.

The pursuing Zhao general Zhao Cong was born in the Zhao royal clan and won the trust of the Zhao king, and this time he entered Qin to increase his merits and renovate his resume so that his power and position could be further enhanced. This person and Zhao Guo's general Li Mu still have a grudge entanglement, I will not show it for the time being, please pay attention to the follow-up development!

The northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, thirty miles away.

Gradually, a long blue line suddenly appeared in the northern sky, it was an elite iron cavalry of the Zhao army in blue armor!

At this time, the thousand-man team behind the palace of the Qin army, under the leadership of the young generals Menghu and Mengwolf, relied on the two small hills nearby to block the five thousand iron cavalry of the Zhao State.

I saw that the cavalry of Zhao State were all wearing iron blue armor on their upper bodies, and their robes were all blue, and they used a light assault short bow in their hands, and they were equipped with iron long swords under their waists, and the war horses under the seats were also very strong and high-spirited, which was completely in line with the characteristics of the general Zhao cavalry. In general, regardless of equipment or morale, the cavalry of the Zhao State can be regarded as a well-equipped army.

The cavalry of the Qin State were all wearing black leather armor on their upper bodies, their robes were also black, they were wearing light cavalry crossbows behind their backs, and bronze long swords were equipped under their waists, which could also be said to be a well-equipped army.

"Are the cavalry of the Qin State also considered cavalry? I, the cavalry of Zhao State, are the most powerful cavalry in the world, and even the Huns dare not compete with the iron cavalry of Zhao State! What are the cavalry of the Qin State? "Zhao Cong, the general of Zhao State, very arrogantly, ordered a thousand cavalry to dismount and fight on foot, and the rest of the cavalry was covered with arrows on their horses to cover the infantry attack.

The Qin army urgently cut down trees to make crude shields, and at the same time piled up mountains and rocks, and waited for the battle.

Zhao's bow and arrows shot a rain of arrows, but most of them were blocked by improvised shields.

When the soldiers of the Zhao State climbed halfway up the mountain, the soldiers of the Qin State pushed the stone the size of the millstone down the hillside. And the soldiers of Zhao State had no way to avoid it, and they had no shields, so they were naturally smashed.

After a while, the Qin army only suffered a few dozen casualties, while the Zhao army actually suffered hundreds of casualties.

"It's just two small hills, and you can't break through?" Zhao Cong, the general of Zhao State, was very angry.

Pang Xuan, the commander of the coalition forces who arrived later, sighed when he saw this, and thought: Zhao Cong is loyal and brave, but he is too far from a qualified general in terms of tactics and strategy.

"General Zhao, wouldn't it be wonderful that you could send someone to cut down trees to make horse-repellent stakes, and lay a layer of trunks on the side, which can guard against rolling stones and arrows?" The commander of the coalition army, Pang Xuan, still had a trace of face on Zhao Cong, who was also a general of Zhao State, and did not directly reprimand him, but tactfully made suggestions.

"The handsome and wise, the last general was dizzy, and he actually forgot to order his subordinates to add protection." Zhao Cong, the general of Zhao State, was not too stupid, so he immediately came to his senses and immediately sent someone to prepare.

In this way, when the soldiers of Zhao State built the horse rejection pile, they immediately launched another attack.

The two sides came and went, one side relied on the large number of people, and the other side relied on the geographical advantage, and launched a melee and fight with each other.

Half an hour later, there were only 500 remnants left in the Qin army behind the palace, and everyone was wounded, even the two tiger generals Menghu and Mengwolf were seriously injured.

Seeing that the time had come, Meng Hu and Meng Wolf organized their men and horses to retreat, and at the same time set fire to the two small hills in order to block the Zhao army for a few more moments.
