Chapter 116: Brush the Plates!
As the fierce battle continued, the battle situation fell into anxiety, and the Qin army and the ironclad army showed their strong individual courage while also showing their terrifying tacit cooperation.
The brotherly love, the righteousness of the robe is vividly reflected in them, and the trust in the robe is blocked for the robe......
At the same time, the iron cavalry of the Wei army on the flank was also strongly attacking the Chu army's large array, and the Chu soldiers were desperately resisting.
One after another, the urgent battle reports reached the ears of the commanders on both sides, and one after another orders were issued calmly and forcefully from their mouths.
While carrying out the commander's orders, the commander-in-chief also had to respond to the situation, and even had to fight with his own sword in a critical situation.
When the Wei army's iron cavalry took the initiative to the left, Wei Yi, the general on the left, beheaded more than 30 people in a row, and he was extremely brave, but he also died of excessive bleeding from dozens of knives in his body. Even when he died, he glared angrily, holding a long knife to the ground and unwilling to fall, so frightened that the nearby enemy troops who had been frightened did not dare to approach.
Wei Yi's bravery inspired the morale of the Chu army, and he held on until the arrival of reinforcements, not letting the Wei army bargain in the slightest.
Although personal bravery is not the key factor in determining victory or defeat in a big war, it does have its own unique role, and it is not impossible to boost morale and save the crisis.
All of a sudden, the two sides went back and forth, attacked each other, and damaged each other, and no one could help anyone.
Until Xie Yan suddenly attacked the rear of the Wei army with 20,000 iron cavalry, which caught the Wei army by surprise, made the Wei army panic for a while, lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and the deadlock seemed to be broken. But that's all, after Wei Jun reacted, Xie Yan couldn't take half of the advantage.
From noon to afternoon, from afternoon to dusk, the shouting and killing never stopped, if the soldiers who fought bloody battles were tired, they would withdraw and replace them, and after a short rest, they would go up again to fight, until night fell, after the soldiers could not lift their knives, the main generals of the two sides issued the order of "Mingjin to withdraw the troops".
After hearing the sound of gold, the soldiers of the two sides stopped at the same time, staring at each other vigilantly, while cleaning up the mess, and retreating quickly and orderly with the corpses of their injured brothers and robes.
So far, Wei and Chu occurred in the nineteenth year of Chu Xing'an, Wei gathered 500,000 troops, commanded by the famous general Kuang Zheng to attack Xiangzhou, and met the Chu army led by Qin Zihao, the famous general of Chu State, who was the king of Qin, blocked the battle at the junction of Wei and Chu on the border of Xiangzhou, and the first comprehensive collision finally ended in a draw.
And Chen Rui was more like a bystander in this battle, he followed Qin Zihao's side from beginning to end, watching him give various orders in danger, and also witnessed the tragedy of this war.
His future father-in-law did not give him any orders, it seemed that Qin Qingyao's letter had a role, but in fact, it was not, because guarding the central formation was also a heavy responsibility, if the enemy army rushed into the large formation, the soldiers guarding the central formation to prevent the enemy from cutting down and capturing the flag The last line of defense would be the last chance to turn defeat into victory in the crisis.
And Qin Zihao thinks that the current Chen Rui is far stronger than coming forward to rush and kill, and his future is not a reckless general who can only rush and kill, but a general and marshal who commands ten thousand armies, and ......
Chen Rui didn't take the initiative to ask for his life, because he only had more than a thousand armor soldiers around him, and he couldn't do anything at all, and he didn't find his own position, what could he do? So I followed Qin Zihao with peace of mind, observed, and learned.
According to the post-war casualty statistics, the Chu army suffered more than 80,000 casualties and 50,000 casualties, of which the Qin army accounted for the vast majority of casualties, a total of more than 50,000, and nearly 30,000 were killed in battle.
Of course, the Wei army also suffered a lot of casualties, a total of more than 100,000 casualties, more than 60,000 killed, including more than 20,000 casualties of the ironclad army, as many as more than 10,000 deaths, the Wei State spent a lot of money to build the ironclad cavalry, this battle invested more than 1,000, only 300 left after the war, close to the annihilation of the whole army.
The reason why the Wei army's casualties were greater than those of the Chu army was caused by the raid on the rear road by the 20,000 iron cavalry led by Xie Yan.
The casualties of the Qin army are close to three times that of the Ironclad Army, which is a very normal and helpless thing, the Ironclad Army is a strong army built by Wei State from all over the country and spent a lot of money, everyone is strong and strong, and the equipment is outrageous.
When the countries faced this army, they had no other way than to use the number of people to consume, even the Liang and Zhao countries, which had a huge number of iron horses.
In the field, the Iron Cavalry may still be able to use its flexible advantage to keep the Iron Armor in the dust, but what about siege warfare?
After all, although the ironclad army is so strong that it makes people feel invincible, it also has its huge flaws, that is, it is extremely difficult to replenish the soldiers, and the cost of maintaining weapons and equipment is huge, which is also a heavy burden for the country.
And the soldiers of various countries only need to recruit, or recruit government soldiers, people, and train for a few months to become an army.
However, speaking of this battle, the damage of the Wei State was greater, not because of their large number of casualties, after all, they were more numerous, and it is understandable that the casualties were larger. Rather, it was because the cavalry of the Ironclad Army was completely damaged.
The cavalry of the Ironclad Army is more difficult to replenish than the Ironclad Cavalry, because the conditions for recruiting the Ironclad cavalry are more stringent than the footmen, not only to be physically strong, but also to be skilled in horsemanship.
The people of the Central Plains are not so good at equestrianism, let alone strong warriors who are very good at equestrianism?
In addition, the war horses of the cavalry of the ironclad army are not ordinary war horses, they are all the kings of horses with strong bodies selected by the ironclad soldiers. After all, the ironclad sergeant is much heavier than the ordinary sergeant, and with the weight of the ironclad soldier, it can be described as a burden of a thousand gold, which is not something that ordinary war horses can bear.
With so many factors, you can imagine how difficult it is to form the cavalry of the Iron Armored Army.
However, even if the damage of Wei was a little greater, the impact on the battle situation was minimal, so the two sides fell silent after this war, and returned to the calm confrontation in the past.
This confrontation lasted for more than a month, so let's not mention it for the time being.
And at the time of the battle between the two armies, in Linyang City on the other side, Chen Jin, a delicate and cute girl with the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, was diligently brushing the plates!!
Things have to start after Chen Jin came out of the valley, Chen Jin, a beautiful girl with a dream of a heroine, arrived in Linyang City a few hours after leaving the valley, and was attracted by the prosperity of Linyang City, so she decided to stay in Linyang City for a few days.
Although she was staying and playing, Chen Jin did not forget her duties as a heroine, doing chivalrous deeds, punishing the evil and eliminating evil, robbing the rich and helping the poor.
But how can there be so much evil and so many injustices under this clear and clear world? If you can walk on the side of the street and encounter evil, then do the people still want to live?
So in a few days, Chen Jin only met a thief who wanted to steal, since he was met by the woman, he deserved to be the thief's bad luck, you must know that when the woman found him, the woman was excited and enthusiastic, and the thief's fate can be imagined......
In the applause of the people, Chen Jin floated, and became more and more determined to be a heroine.
