Chapter 231: Rivalry (2)
On a barren slope 20 miles away from the city of Uiju, several Eastern Army scouts were resting on the grass beside the dirt slope, while several war horses were leisurely grazing on the grass on the ground.
Judging from the low mounds that still remain around the slope, this land was once reclaimed, but now it is completely abandoned.
"Boss, these Qin thieves are biting people everywhere like crazy, do you think they are going to fight soon!"
Huang San leaned on a mound, biting a piece of dry grass in his mouth, glanced at the wound on his right hand that had just been added yesterday, and crossed Erlang's leg and said leisurely.
With the arrival of 100,000 Qin troops in Yizhou City, the relationship between the Eastern Army of Beiguan City and Yizhou City became tense at once, and Liu Wenxiu sent dozens of waves of scouts every day to observe the movements of the Qin army outside Yizhou City at any time.
With such intensive probing, the scouts of the Eastern Army naturally inevitably had friction with the peripheral scouts of the Qin Army, perhaps because of the Zhoucang Incident, both sides knew that they could not be good, and it was a fierce battle as soon as they met.
Although the scouts of the Eastern Army were slightly better in the battle because they were equipped with crossbows, they also lost dozens of excellent scouts in just 2 days.
It is not easy to train an excellent scout, so Liu Wenxiu had to order to shrink the detection range to avoid direct contact with the Qin army.
Today, Huang San and the others have completed their morning inspection, and they have only stolen half a moment of leisure on this road that the Qin army must pass.
Not far from Huang San, Diao Jie, the captain of this scout team, ignored him, but carefully wiped the scimitar in his hand as if he were a beloved lover.
This kind of scimitar is about 3 feet long, imitating the steppe scimitar of the nomads, the blade body is light and thin, the edge is sharp, easy to chop, it is very conducive to cavalry melee fighting on horses, and the cavalry in the main army of the king of the south has been deployed in large numbers.
"Shhhh Captain, you're really boring, you're all silent."
Seeing that no one cared about him, Huang San couldn't help but crooked his mouth and sighed softly, a little boring.
During the mission, it has always been a tradition in the army to keep quiet, and among them, only Huang San, this kid is an exception, and he can't be idle.
However, no one including Diao Jie underestimated him, after all, in terms of fighting ability, this kid was still the strongest among them.
"Let's go! Time's up! ”
Glancing at Huang San, Diao Jie silently put the scimitar into the sheath, got up and walked towards the war horse.
"Trouble!"
Huang Sanxin muttered reluctantly, and had to get up to follow.
Ga! Ga! Ga!
Just as they were about to get on their horses again, in a mountain forest to the northeast of them, a flock of birds suddenly rose into the air and flew quickly southward in the air.
"Not good! There is a case! ”
Seeing this, Diao Jie's face changed instantly, and he hurried down the small dirt slope, came to the edge of the road, and lay down on the ground to listen.
Thundered~
Across the earth, a faint rumbling sound came into my ears.
"The Qin army is here, quickly send a message to the base camp!"
Returning to the dirt slope, Diao Jie turned over his horse and said to the soldier in charge of delivering the message.
"Let's go!"
After speaking, Diao Jie reined in his horse and took the lead in running in the direction of the Qin army.
If you want to get more detailed information about Qin Jun, you have to get closer to observe, except for the scout who went to report the news, Huang San and the others followed behind Diao Jie without hesitation.
On the vast wilderness, a long black dragon composed of 10,000 Great Qin cavalry ran quickly on the land, and dense horse hooves rolled up dust and smoke on the land.
After resting outside the city of Yiju for three days, Wang Ben finally decided to use troops to Beiguancheng.
In this battle, Wang Ben mobilized a total of 90,000 Qin troops and 20,000 Yizhou city and rural warriors, vowing to take Beiguan City in one fell swoop.
The 10,000 Qin soldiers in front of him were the vanguard of the Qin army, leading the general Li Xin.
Li Xin, who is successful in words, is friends with Wang Ben, and both of them are prominent figures in the young Zhuang faction in the Qin army.
However, the difference between the two is that Wang Ben is known for his art of war, strategy, and talent for commanding troops, while Li Xin is known for his courage and courage to dominate the army.
"General, the right flank has spotted enemy scouts!"
Li Xin took the lead and rushed in front of the army, and a Qin general leaned over to his side to report.
"Don't pay attention to the scattered soldiers, the whole army accelerates forward! We're going to get to Beiguan City before noon! ”
Li Xin didn't care when he heard this, and waved his hand to force it.
In the successive battles in Shudi, the Qin army was all broken with one blow, and the momentum was like a bamboo, although it was now blocked by the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, but it also overwhelmed the Three Kingdoms.
In these battles, the Great Qin Iron Cavalry led by Wang Ben played an important role, relying on the tactics of rapid advance and interspersed with large-scale cavalry clusters, and they have always been invincible.
In Li Xin's eyes, Beiguancheng is no exception, which is based on the self-confidence and arrogance of countless victories.
"However, the order of the Major General is for us to advance carefully!"
Looking at Li Xin, who insisted on advancing quickly, the Qin general hesitated for a moment and then persuaded him.
Different from Li Xin's optimism and self-confidence, the Qin generals, who had learned the information of the scouts on both sides in the past few days, knew that the enemy army they were facing now was different from the past, and they were not inferior to the Qin army in terms of combat quality and fighting will, and they were even better in terms of ordnance and equipment.
Li Xin's adventurous strategy, I'm afraid it will suffer!
"It doesn't matter! If the major general has an order, I will bear it! ”
Li Xin waved his hand and vetoed, although he and Wang Ben were friends, there was also a hidden competition to some extent, and he didn't want to be pressed down by him in everything.
The 10,000 cavalry quickly advanced, and in less than two hours, it had already opened dozens of miles with the main army of Wang Ben's department behind, and it was less than 10 miles away from Beiguancheng.
Looking up, on both sides of the road hundreds of meters ahead, on the abandoned fields as far as the eye can see, a neat line of cavalry cavalry cavalry cavalry is already waiting there.
"The mantis arm is a car! Attack! ”
Without hesitation, Li Xin did not hesitate to give the order to attack.
The military exploits sent to the door, how can it not be unreasonable!
"Attack!"
Looking at the Daqin Iron Cavalry who was slaughtering violently, Huang Jingtian's face turned cold, the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile, and he waved his hand and ordered.
Cavalry confrontation, the emphasis is on momentum, whoever can collapse the opponent's formation first, who wins!
Whoa~
With the sound of armor colliding, the black military formation slowly activated, forming a huge cone-shaped formation towards the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.
Thundered~
With the sound of horses' hooves, two black torrents quickly collided with each other.
"Points!"
Just when the two armies were only a few dozen meters apart and were about to collide, Huang Jingtian shouted, and the cavalry in front of the cone formation quickly split, turning into two teams that turned sideways in an arc towards the two wings.
And as the military formation cracked, the 3,000 armored cavalry that had been hidden in the middle were finally revealed.
"Kill!"
The steel fortresses, which were wrapped in armor with men and horses, carried earth-shattering momentum, and under the leadership of He Batsheng at the head, they crashed into the Qin army formation in rows.
"Not good!"
Huang Jingtian's sudden change of formation caught the Qin army off guard, looking at the steel fortress that appeared in front of him, Li Xin's face changed greatly, but it was too late to remedy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
The two armies staggered, people neighed on their horses, a puff of snowflakes bloomed in the collision, and countless cavalry were knocked off their horses and died tragically under the dense hooves of horses.
For the first time, the Qin army saw the power of armored cavalry, and the military formation composed of 3,000 armored cavalry was like a blood groove, directly pulling through the Qin army's military formation, with countless casualties.
"Kill!"
Without waiting for the chaotic Qin army to react, the remaining cavalry of the cavalry battalion on both wings followed closely to kill, and the three-way army immediately encircled the Qin army.
A large number of Qin soldiers fell to the ground, with mental calculation or unintentionality, and the war showed a one-sided situation from the beginning.
