Chapter 51 Means
The general of the Zhao army looked at the thousand heavy armored soldiers who were slowly advancing in the distance, and he was full of doubts:
"Which troop is in the distance?"
He knew that the army in the distance had already treated him as meat in his mouth.
It is also his bad luck, such a large-scale change of defense task will not fall on his head at all, as a result, after Zhao Ji came, the whole army order was in chaos, Zhao Meng originally wanted him and his subordinates to be stationed on the front line, but unfortunately, Zhao Ji directly invited Wang Mingqi and asked him to go to Dingyuan City near Boyang to garrison to prevent the Jingran army from further plundering.
However, when he was still a day's journey from Dingyuan City, he encountered Li Xin's army.
Li Xinzhong has already been familiar with all the large and small cities of Zhao State that have strategic positions, Dingyuan City and Boyang City are each other's horns, even if Zhao State does not have a little common sense, they should know that if Dingyuan City and Boyang City are lost, all the grain routes of the Zhao army on the front line will be cut off, and the 200,000 people will be hungry at that time.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, Zhao Guo will definitely not ignore Dingyuan City, and will send troops to come.
Why was Li Xin able to calculate that Zhao Jun would definitely come? Here's why.
Li Xin looked at his heavy armor soldiers coldly, and then looked at Zhao Jun, who was obviously restless in the distance:
"General Zhao Mu."
Zhao Mu: "The last will be."
Li Xin looked at the flank of the Zhao army, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Wait a minute, I may have to trouble the general and the cavalry."
Zhao Mu couldn't wait for a long time, he hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, and he had almost forgotten the feeling of a sharp blade cutting through human skin.
"General, please say, in the lower and subordinate parts of a thousand men and horses, never retreat!"
Li Xin: "The general's words are serious, after the heavy armor soldiers come into contact with the enemy, your cavalry will attack the enemy's flank!"
Zhao Mu nodded: "The last general understands."
Li Xin paused, and his tone became cold: "Wait a minute, I don't care what methods you and your subordinates use, I want to see the enemy camp in chaos in the shortest possible time, as for how to fight, that's your business."
After speaking, he ignored Zhao Mu again.
Zhao Mu was also very depressed, what was going on with this top boss, he didn't make specific arrangements for the war, and he didn't care about whether his subordinates could win, he just wanted the result......
Yes, he only wants the result.
What kind of person Li Xin is, Zhao Mu may not know, but the generals who fought in Boyang with Li Xin know that he is a person who can kill more than 2,000 Zhao troops without blinking an eye for the result, for the sake of Dachu, and in order to achieve the final victory.
His heart was very cold.
At this time, the commander of the Zhao army also found that things didn't seem to be good, because the army in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of talking nonsense with him at all.
"General, the situation is not right......"
A Zhao army commander said to his commander.
Of course, the commander of the Zhao army knows that those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming, and now that the battle situation is turbulent, who knows what great gods will be encountered.
There were no more illusions at the moment, and hurriedly began to deploy.
"Pass the order, line up!"
Zhao Jun is really a strong army in the world, and when he heard the general's order, he immediately began to change formations.
Zhao Mu looked at Zhao Jun, who was still in a mess just now, and began to listen to the order to change formations, and sighed for a while: "Sure enough, the army that has survived to this era does not have a soft persimmon." ”
Li Xin smiled faintly: "Commander Zhao Jun, guinea dog ears!" ”
Li Xin looked at Zhao Mu: "Doesn't the general know that when the general changes the formation, it is the weakest time for the army's big array?" ”
Zhao Mu was shocked, could it be that Li Xin ......
In this era, on-the-spot etiquette is still emphasized, and I don't know how they survived until now.
Li Xin: "Zhao Mu listens to the order, that is, he can attack the enemy's flank with cavalry advantage!"
Zhao Muweinuo is from the beginning, there has never been such an attack in this era without waiting for the completion of the enemy's formation. As an old-school general, he refuses in his heart, but his fate is indisobedient.
I had to do what I was told.
"Cavalry charge!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a thousand cavalry rushing straight towards the Zhao State array, and the Zhao army obviously did not expect that the enemy army on the opposite side would be so unruly.
But now that the camp of his army has not been decided, the crossbowmen have long been so frightened that they can't pull their bows.
Zhao Mu's cavalry army was all skilled in archers and horses, and they all rose and fell with the rhythm of the war horses, without a sense of rustiness.
Zhao Mu took the lead, running single-handedly in front of his own array, holding a big sword, and his posture was heroic.
Seeing that he was only a hundred steps away from the Zhao army, Zhao Mu suddenly turned his horse's head and quickly led the army towards the flank of the Zhao army.
When the commander of the Zhao army saw it, he was shocked.
"Quick! Fast! Flank! Deployed! ”
Although he had already discovered the intentions of Zhao Mu's army, the sergeant of Zhao Jun under his hand saw that the 1,000 cavalry army that was rushing directly and had the spirit to listen to him.
1,000 cavalry against 10,000 infantry, although they did not have an advantage in numbers, but Zhao Mujun's intention was not to storm the large array, but to sweep the formation and disturb the Zhao army. Obviously, this purpose Zhao Mu has achieved.
Moreover, the infantry of this era, unless it is like the infantry formation of the Qin army, or the heavy armor of the Chu State, the rest of the infantry has a natural fear of cavalry.
Zhao Mu took the lead, directly swept the periphery of the Zhao army, and slashed and killed with a knife. The speed of the war horse is extremely fast, and the cavalry on the horse can easily reap a human life by relying on inertia as long as they stretch out their knives.
If at the beginning, the commander of the Zhao army still wanted to rely on the solid large formation of his army to resist the cavalry, the next heavy armor soldiers made him directly give up this idea.
The heavy armor soldiers are the essence of the infantry of the Chu State, although the number is not large, but they are all dressed in iron armor, which can be said to be armed to the teeth, and the heavy armor soldiers are the first-class existence of the Chu infantry in terms of height, weight, strength and other aspects, and now they have iron armor to protect the body, which is basically an invincible existence.
And just when Zhao Mu's cavalry was slashing and slashing on the flanks of the Zhao army, the heavy armored soldiers of the Chu State had already reached the place where the Zhao army was thirty paces away.
The commander of the Zhao army looked at the heavy armor that stepped over like a stone grinder, and his heart was already uneasy, but the soldier's profession told him that he couldn't run now......
Fortunately, the archers of the Zhao army have been deployed, and thirty paces is the most advantageous strike distance for the archers.
It's a knife to the enemy's chest.
At that moment, the commander of the Zhao army was relieved and immediately deployed archers to block the heavy armor soldiers.
"Archers out!"
"Roar!"
I saw that the 3,000 archers of the Zhao army were deployed in three rows and began to fire arrows at the heavy armor soldiers in turn.
"Whew!"
The feather arrow made a sharp sound and flew towards the heavy armor soldiers, and the commander of the Zhao army was the same as the rest of the Zhao army! He craned his neck to see the heavily-armored soldiers fall like wheat cut by a scythe.
However, the actual result gave Zhao Jun a head-on blow.
A row of more than a thousand arrows shot at the heavy armor, but only a dozen or so people fell, and all of them were injured at the junction of the heavy armor.
This result made Zhao Jun at a loss.
Li Xin looked at Zhao Jun, who was in turmoil, and there was no surprise in his eyes, as if all this was supposed to happen.
"Pass the order, and the army will advance."
Li Xin gave an order lightly.
With an order, the remaining 4,000 people of the whole army began to advance towards the Zhao army with neat steps.
At this time, the commander of the Zhao army began to panic.
"Break the army!"
Zhao Mu shouted, and quickly led his cavalry away from the Zhao army's array.
It's not because they're afraid of injury, they're going to change formations.
Sure enough, after the cavalry broke away from the large array, they quickly changed their formation, and this time they were not sweeping the formation, but were going to kill directly into the large array.
This is a broken army.
Li Xin looked at the changes in the cavalry army's large formation, and nodded slightly, although Zhao Mu has not been on the battlefield for many years, but his grasp of the changes in the cavalry formation and the weaknesses of the enemy army is first-class.
Li Xin: "I really admire the king's vision."
Yes, these commanders selected by Jing Ran in his new army are all first-class figures in the world.
Needless to say, Li Xin is actually a figure at the level of the god of war in Zhongzhou. And Daniel Zhang and the others have been following him closely since he was in trouble, and these characters are all faithful people, and although Daniel Zhang lacks resourcefulness, he is brave and unmatched. As for Li Ren, he has the style of an ancient sage. Not to mention how to give advice to Jing Ran when fighting with Northern Chu, this time alone has added 3,000 more men and horses to Jing Ran's new army, and this number continues to rise!
Li Xin looked at the battle situation ahead and thought about himself again.
"Where is there any destiny in this world, only the human heart!"
The Zhao army has not yet organized a meaningful attack and counterattack, and the commander of the Zhao army actually knows the result here, but they are infantry, and there is no cavalry, otherwise they can go back to ask for help or something, but now, they can only have a difficult battle with the difficult enemy here.
But after all, the Zhao army is one of the four major powers in Central Continent, and the combat effectiveness of the army is still very strong, otherwise the decisive battle would have started long ago with the character of the Qin army, but so far, the Qin army is still confronting the Zhao state.
Therefore, although Li Xin had the advantage in this battle, swept the formation with cavalry, broke the formation with heavy armor, and dealt an effective blow to the Zhao army, the large array of the Zhao army was still unshaken on the whole.
Zhao Mu has now begun to lead the cavalry to break the formation, but he looked at the Zhao army's large array again, and found that the effect was not as good as he imagined, and he also beat a drum in his heart.
"The Zhao army is really the first-class in the world, like other armies, after such a blow, it is estimated that the big array will collapse a long time ago, but they can still maintain a relatively complete formation now, it seems that this time they will eat hard dishes."
This is the first time he has fought in many years, and he has encountered such a strong army, which is the luck of the general, and it may also be the end of the general.
But the battle situation is tense, where can you think so much, it has been fought to this point, both sides have been glued together, and Li Xin's army has been fully launched.
"There is no way back!"
Zhao Mu immediately took the lead and rushed directly into the relatively weak infantry flank of the Zhao army.
"Kill!"
At this time, the cavalry army saw that their main generals were killed, and there was no reason not to die.
Soldiers, the greatest glory is to kill the enemy!
