Chapter 19 Han Ju Sends Troops
Let's say that Tian Qi's rear army changed into the front army, and retreated in an orderly manner. Suddenly, the Malay newspaper said that in the city of Pingyi, a group of chariots suddenly poured out, and on the high banner, there was a big "Han" character.
Tian Ju was taken aback, it was not that he didn't think that Han Ju would send troops to pursue, but in his feeling, at most, he would chase after him with light cavalry and fight an autumn breeze, but looking at this posture, he was going to pursue and annihilate himself. Time was running out, he immediately gave the order, and the cavalry turned around and galloped to the rear. The front army remained the same, advancing rapidly, looking for open terrain, and setting up a formation to meet the enemy.
The reason why the chauffeur is the king of land warfare is because in terms of impact power, he is far superior to other troops. Moreover, there are three chariots, there are drivers, archers, and long or long halberd soldiers, there are long-range suppression, there are melee enemies, running up, and can cause impact on the other party in the move, so the chariot occupies a very high position among the heroes of the Warring States, and the charioteer is also the highest among the arms.
Han Ju stood on top of the chariot, looking at the chaotic array of Qi army vehicles in front of him from a distance, sneered, and ordered all the archers on the chariot to shoot at each other. At this time, it is necessary to test the shooting skills of your own archers.
In general, the shooting accuracy is very high when stationary, but on the tank, if you want to maintain the shooting accuracy, you need long-term training and a high degree of tacit cooperation, especially the cooperation with the driver.
A good chariot, how well the driver plays, directly determines the victory or defeat of the chariot in this battle. A good driver must not only be able to control the speed of the chariot, but also learn how to avoid obstacles in front of him while maintaining an overall formation. Especially in the process of hedging such a chariot, control the distance between your chariot and the opponent's chariot, and ensure that your chariot is not destroyed by the impact of the opponent's chariot.
Among the Seven Heroes, the drivers of Qin and Zhao are even better, and the reason is that they think that the ancestors of Qin and Zhao are both one person, and they both started by driving, which is also the reason why the two countries resist each other and no one can help anyone.
During the long-distance attack, the already panicked Qi army saw Zhao Jun attacking him, so he could only hurriedly raise the shield on the chariot to deal with it, but even so, in the face of the attack of the Zhao army like locusts, the power of the shield was slightly weak. The reason for this is precisely that the flight trajectory of the bow and arrow is a parabola, while the crossbow is a straight line, and in the face of the shield, the parabola can be crossed, while the crossbow can only fight head-on.
Before the two armies were disarmed, the archers of the Zhao army had already launched a deadly attack on the Qi army. made the originally chaotic Qi army even more chaotic. In particular, each chariot phalanx was followed by a lot of unarmed soldiers, and the chaos of the chariots, resulting in stampede and confusion, caught the generals of the Chinese army off guard.
Han Ju led the chariot, looking at the appearance of the rear army of the Qi State in front of him hurriedly arraying, and did not wait for the other party to finish the formation, the flag waved, the war drums were urgent, and the soldiers on the left and right wings of the front army consciously began to gradually control the speed of the chariot, retreating in turn, forming a sharp arrow, turning from a phalanx into a conical formation.
"The cone of the array, humble as a sword, the end is not sharp, it is not entered, the blade is not thin, it is not cut, and the original is not thick, it cannot be arrayed", the conical formation of the Zhao army, like such a sharp sword, was fiercely inserted into the battle formation of the Qi army. Suddenly, the sound of chariots and chariots intertwined rang out.
At the moment when the chariots of the two countries were about to intersect, the drivers of the two countries held the reins tightly, so that the four horses of the chariots rushed towards the opposite side of the other party, and the two chariots were wrong, and the archers who were ready to attack let go, and the arrows broke away from the bowstrings and shot towards the opponent's chariots.
When the opponent's driver saw the bow and arrow coming, he grabbed the reins and pulled it hurriedly, and the whole car was tilted to one side, and the wheels that clinged to the opponent's chariot were almost suspended in the air, and he also relied on this sharp turn to get rid of the track of the opponent's arrow. However, before he could stand firmly, he saw a long brother attacking with his head, and seeing that it was too late to dodge, he only heard a "beep", and his own halberd soldier swung a blow, just to block the attack of the opponent's soldiers.
It's too late, it's too fast, and this series of attacks has completed the first attack of your back and forth at the moment when the two cars "mismatched". Most of the chariots will struggle to win the jackpot in the first attack, and of course, there are a very small number of chariots who can complete the harvest of the enemy in the first "wrong hub".
On this small plain on the bank of the big river, the soldiers of the two countries are engaged in the most primitive fight. The battle flags were scattered, the sound of battle began, and in the dust, flesh and blood bodies fell under the opponent's weapons, and sturdy horses neighed and rushed towards their own kind.
However, Han Ju didn't feel any of these at all. If a general can't even control such a scene, let alone lead troops. The so-called mercy does not command the soldiers, to the effect of this.
He calmly watched the changes in the situation, and accurately grasped that through the surprise just now, he had already eaten this army of the Qi army, and believed that through a few more back and forth impacts, this chariot unit responsible for the rear of the palace would disappear in the traffic of Zhao State.
Just when he thought that the situation was already one-sided, the rear of the Qi army's camp remembered the sound of shaking the sky, and in the dust, horses appeared in front of him. They waved their long sleeves and tugged at the reins, because there was nothing else to rely on, and they could only rely on the strength of their legs, clinging tightly to the horse's belly to keep their balance.
With the rapid impact of their horses, they brandished their short swords and quickly rushed towards the two armies that were already deep in the battlefield. The general of the cavalry of the Qi army is obviously not a blind person, he clearly understands his advantages and disadvantages, and rationally divides the cavalry team into two teams, along the edge of the scorching battlefield, running back and forth, and never takes the initiative to enter the battlefield, otherwise with his own men and horses, he will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the opponent's chariot, and will only become a corpse of war.
"General, it's the other side's cavalry that has entered." Zhao Shu hurried from the back of the chariot and said to Han Ju.
"What's the panic, just a few cavalry, you can't turn the table." Han Ju said indifferently. In his eyes, this group of foot soldiers who will stagger on the horse as long as they fight hard, to put it bluntly, are cannon fodder, and their combat effectiveness is almost negligible. However, the ants bite the elephant to death, let these ants make trouble around, in case Tian Qi leads the army to fight back, it will be troublesome.
He thought about it for a while, and said behind him, "Pass the order, the rear army will form a circle, stick to the camp, and the Chinese army will become a hook and a Xuan formation, and the distance between the two sides will be widened, and the opponent's cavalry will be pulled into the chariot formation for me, so that he will not come back." ”
Han Ju said a lot, but it turned into a flag language very quickly. The herald raised his flag and waved it, and the drums behind him became more rapid, which was to tell the enemy and our armies that the attackers had strengthened their offensive, and the attackers who were in the middle of the game would cheer up when they heard the drums. And the enemy, it will become even more flustered. Between the changes in the drums, the psychological posture of both sides of the battle will change dramatically.
With the urging of the drumbeat, the Chinese army of Zhao began to change formations, the phalanx just now changed, the chariots on both wings of the Chinese army's phalanx began to move backwards, and then naturally changed into a forward hook shape, and the foot soldiers in the middle and Changge began to gather together, the foot soldiers in front and the Changge soldiers in the back. Soon a complete set of war formations was formed. From this point, it can be seen that Han Ju's ability to manage the army is not covered.
"Attack!" As the flag was waved, the troops of the Chinese army quickly followed up on the front battlefield, and the chariots on both wings controlled the speed and snapped into the infantry phalanx in the middle. Like a calm boulder, it compresses the troops of both sides that have been mixed together.
At the same time, the archers who were behind were not idle, and at the back of the entire team, they continued to shoot deadly arrows at the battlefield in front of them, and this kind of indiscriminate attack, although it was easy to cause casualties among their own soldiers, but now they couldn't care too much about it.
Finally, when the Chinese army compressed the battlefield to the apex, the cavalry of the Qi army finally had to face the impact of the chariot soldiers of the Zhao Guozhong army, especially the phalanx of chariots and soldiers that were strongly urged, which completely compressed the range of activities of the cavalry.
Once the cavalry encountered the impact of the chariots, they were already prone to lose their balance, and they had to flee the battlefield and try to go around behind the chariots, but the hook-shaped two-wing chariots of the Zhao cavalry were like an upside-down fishhook, steadily compressing the cavalry within their range.
Since the cavalry of the Qi State could not break through the defense of the chariot soldiers, they had to face the compressed space of the infantry and Changge soldiers of the Zhao State, but the space was not only reduced, but the impact of the cavalry could not be exerted at all. They hadn't even stabilized their bodies from the attack of the Chang Ge soldiers, and the next second they were buried under the sharp daggers of the foot soldiers.
The entire battlefield was firmly controlled by Han Ju.
"General, it seems that this rear army can't escape." Zhao Shu stood behind Han Ju and said to Han Ju.
"If it weren't for the fear of Tian Qi's encirclement and suppression of me, I wouldn't have joined the Chinese army. However, the casualties of the Chinese army should not be large, take a rest, and it can still be used. Han Ju said with a smile.
"What, the general really intends to continue the pursuit of Tian Qi? In case the other party has an ambush, we will not fall into the net if we go. The so-called poor Kou Mo chases, we still pack up this rear army and return to Pingyi. Zhao Shu said.
"Don't worry. Tian Qi, I know this person. He is bent on pacifying my Gaotang, but this attack is frustrated, and the rear army is eaten by us, so he will definitely not be reconciled. I was sure that the other side must be in front of the line. Han Ju had a scheming look.
"The other party is waiting for work, our army is going, and there is more than one luck."
"Otherwise, it is said that it is to wait for work, but it is also somewhat impatient, and I am naturally not in a hurry. In that case, I will camp here again, send more horses, and let him wait for us for a while, and when he is impatient, our army will attack again. Han Ju said.
"Well, that said. The general thought that tomorrow's battle should start somewhere. Zhao Yu believed him a little, after all, Han Ju is a veteran, he is a fledgling, and he can't compare to him, so he naturally focuses on learning.
"Hehe, I expected it a long time ago." As he spoke, Han Ju took the map from the attendant behind him, planned on the map for a while, and said with a smile pointing to a place name. "It must be here!"
Zhao Shu leaned over and looked, and two words were clearly written on it: Xincheng.
