The defenses that the Qin people had worked so hard to dig could only prevent Zhao Qi from approaching during the day, and as soon as the sun set, they would be useless, because even in the name of Zi Shunshan's shooting, it was difficult to aim and shoot with bows and arrows in the dark night, and the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, and it was completely a passive situation.

Therefore, in order to avoid demoralization and chaos, Zi ordered his lieutenant to take thousands of Qin soldiers out of the camp in three groups, and quickly pass through the trench filled by the Zhao army, wanting to meet the Zhao cavalry.

Seeing the Qin army out of the camp, Yu Xi's face was a little surprised, and when he saw the Qin people lighting the dense torches, he couldn't help but scold: "Smart man." ”

For as long as he can remember, he raised horses for the Zhao family in the stables of the lower palace, and was later promoted by Zhao Wuxian as a general, creating cavalry, and has been dealing with horses for more than ten years, taking care of their daily life, manipulating them to travel long distances, charging into battle, and understanding the temperament characteristics of this animal.

Daibei's veterinarian once told him that horses' eyesight is not very good compared to eagle owls or even human eyes. Because the horse's eyes are located on both sides of the head, although they can be very alert to find the left and right movements, they are not good at judging the distance between the front and back, and they are often afraid to jump when jumping over trenches or crossing obstacles. Therefore, the Daibei cavalry needs to spend a lot of time to help the mounts judge the distance and let them overcome fear, and only a horse that does this is a qualified war horse.

In addition, horses are good at catching moving targets, but they often can't spot static objects such as snakes, rabbits, and ambush people. When these things suddenly appear, they often frighten the horses, and the horses are blown up, the horses are frightened and the horses are out of control, and even cause casualties to the riders, especially the stallions, so many horses have to be gelding.

This is especially true in difficult terrain and at night, where the rider has to be constantly soothed by the body language of the voice.

However, there are short and long, but horses have better night vision than humans at night, and can clearly distinguish the road and the surrounding environment in the dark night. For this reason, the people of Linzhang School Palace have debates, some people say that it is because the horse has "night eyes" on the knees, some people say that it is because the horse's eyes have a layer of membrane that can see a faint light, and even more said that the horse does not look at night, but acts by hearing......

In short, it is for this reason that the cavalry can walk at night, but unfortunately this situation is only possible in low light, which is a stimulus to the horse and often causes the horse to be uneasy. As soon as the opposite side approached with a dense line of torches, the horses began to panic again, which is why the cavalry tried to avoid night battles......

The number of Qin people raising fire was a bit too much, and for a while, the Zhao horses kept snorting and moving their hooves restlessly, which was a sign of their fear.

"What should I do?" Youcheng's experience is not as rich as Yu Xi's, and seeing that the Qin people are swarming out of the country, he hurriedly came to ask this senior.

"Don't panic." Yu Xi immediately made a decision and ordered: "Let the Rongdi cavalry continue to wander around and shoot at the Qin people, and the Shangjun cavalry will retreat a hundred steps back and stand by, and ride off the horse on behalf of the county......"

He glanced at the Daibei cavalry and said loudly, "Wait, let's fight on foot!" ”

……

Zishun became the monarch's royal warrior as soon as he became an adult, so he also knew the temperament of the horse, so he dared to take most of the Qin army out to meet the enemy in a decisive battle.

The Qin State also had cavalry, the main feature of which was rapid mobility, with strong and fierce assault power, especially conducive to mobile operations in plains and wilderness and in general mountains and hills. It can often play an unexpected role when carrying out actions such as detours, surprise attacks, cutting off their rear routes, and harassing the enemy's rear. However, cavalry warfare is not suitable for dangerous and watery places, and is not conducive to siege and capture fortresses. This is its weakness, and it is even more disadvantageous if you add a night fight to its weakness.

In his opinion, the Zhao clan wanted to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and avoid being severely damaged by the Qin people during the day, but at night, as long as they mustered up the courage to get close to the past, Zhao Qi would be helpless, and they set themselves a trap.

A night battle is a melee battle, and in a melee battle, a cavalry with a single arm cannot get any advantage.

However, when they crossed the trench that had been filled by Zhao Qi and looked ahead, they were completely stunned.

I don't know when, there was an extra phalanx of two or three thousand infantry in front of me, and it was firmly blocked in front of me......

It was the Daibei cavalry, they improvised and decisively dismounted and formed a formation to defend against the enemy.

Now that the Qin people have mustered up the courage to leave the camp, if they want to turn back at this time, their morale will definitely plummet, not to mention that there are countless rangers shuttling back and forth in the dim night around, looking for an opportunity to fire arrows into the Qin people's formation.

"Rush! There is nothing to fear from dismounted cavalry! Zishun knew that he couldn't wait, so he ordered the Qin soldiers who came out of the camp to rush over and kill him.

However, although Zhao Qi dismounted, he couldn't underestimate their combat effectiveness because of this.

"Or the arm group card, dismount and shoot. If you take a single step, you will collapse on both sides, and if you rout, you will be chaotic, and you will enter from chaos. "Dismounting and shooting to disrupt the enemy and then mount the horse to attack, this was originally one of the established tactics of the Zhao cavalry, and temporarily dismounting cavalry was just a common thing for them.

So when the Qin people rushed over, they didn't take advantage as expected, but bumped into a hedgehog.

More than 1,000 archers stood on their legs, opened their cavalry bows and aimed at the Qin people who were fighting in open flames, they became archers of foot shooting, although the power of the riding bow was not as good as the foot bow, but the rate of fire was also faster, and the thousands of Qin people who rushed out were immediately killed by intensive shooting.

The turk's one-foot spear turned into a flat spear, and they became spearmen, and although they did not have the terrible impact of the charge, they stood still and constantly carried out spear assassination, which was also one of their training items.

The remaining 1,000 people held the ring head knife, there was a regimental card on the left arm, and suddenly became a knife card soldier, the regimental card was made of hard rattan, which could resist the enemy's weapon, and the ring head knife was made of iron, and the bronze weapons of the Qin people could not be matched at all, and the armor was also easily cut off, although the rush was fierce, but it was lost in vain.

In this way, due to the huge advantage in equipment, a full quarter of an hour passed, but the Qin people who were in a hurry did not impulse the infantry formation formed by the Zhao cavalry, but instead made a mess of their own formation under the shooting of the Rong Di rangers, revealing many flaws. The Qin people scattered and fought on their own, and it was difficult to break through when they encountered a strong formation.

At this moment, the Shangjun cavalry, who had been watching from the side for a long time, started!

While admiring Yu Xi's adaptability, the young general Youcheng also gave birth to a sense of pride, and he must not let him specialize in beauty!

Although the Shangjun cavalry was formed late, but also had a certain foundation, when the enemy formation was strong, the archers and rangers who dismounted the horse shot to make the enemy's formation chaotic, and then rushed into it with the cavalry who were recuperated after the infantry formation, if it did not move, the front team crossed, and the rear team rushed again, for a while, the formation of the Qin people collapsed, and it was too late to even escape back to the camp.

Zishun went out of the camp to meet the battle with great risk, but finally failed, even if the Qin soldiers were surrounded, he did not dare to send people out to rescue again.

An hour later, thousands of Qin people were annihilated outside the camp, and although Zhao Qi also had some casualties, he could still surround the Qin camp, take turns to rest, and harass him with arrows from time to time. After staying up like this for most of the night, after a long time the Qin people could not support it in terms of morale or physical strength, thousands of Zhao cavalry launched a general attack.

Zhao Qi moved away the antlers, pulled down the camp wall, and entered the camp from six or seven entrances, setting fire everywhere, rushing left and right. The Qin soldiers were disturbed in panic for a day and a night, and they failed in a row, their morale was low, and they disturbed each other. For a time, Zhao rode in the camp, raising fire like a star, shouting loudly, killing people whenever they met, although Zishun also took his own soldiers to make some resistance, but it was useless.

The fire of Hexi's shouting and killing lasted all night, and when it was dawn, Pusaka was a messy city, and Linghu Bo, who had also spent a sleepless night, looked around, but saw that the entire Qin camp in Hexi had been burned to a white ground, bursts of black smoke, the Qin people were killed or wounded, and the rest were all thrown to the Zhao family in frustration, Zishun also died in the chaos of the army, and Zhao Cai suffered no more than 1,000 casualties, many of them were accidentally wounded in the ditch in the night battle.

The security on the other side is gone, and now even if the army from the east of the river arrives at Puban, it will be blocked by the Zhao cavalry and unable to cross the river, and once this Qin army is defeated, the Qin state will no longer have the strength to prevent the Zhao cavalry from attacking the city and conquering the city.

"Hexi is finished......" made Hu Bo close his eyes in despair, although the Zhao army's offensive was tepid, but the morale of Pubancheng had fallen to a low point, and when the sun rose again today, the Qin and Wei Hedong coalition forces that had arrived today were still nowhere to be seen......

What Hubo didn't know was that in the Zhao army camp north of Pusaka, the commander Mu Xia had also been looking to the east, and now that the main force of the enemy army had been missing, he also showed a trace of regret.

"It seems that Shangqing's strategy of luring the enemy to a decisive battle in Kasaka has been seen through......"

Behind the 20,000 Zhao troops, there are actually 20,000 people, and this attack on Pusaka, in addition to cutting off the enemy's retreat, is also an attempt to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

In the seven or eight days after the Battle of Hancheng, Muxia's right wing was greatly strengthened, and the 100,000 Zhao troops on the Hedong battlefield divided half of him, trying to give the right wing a greater advantage and turn Qin Wei into a turtle in an urn.

Mucha divided 10,000 men to collect the cities north of Lianshui: Linghu and Xie Liang, Zhang Mengtan's hometown of Zhangcheng, and Zhiyi, which was bulldozed by the Wei clan.

He led 40,000 men to attack Pusaka, but the plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements came to naught, and the main force of Qin and Wei, who hastily retreated from Anyi a few days ago, did not come to Pusaka, and this Pusaka City may be just a cover.

"The dragon gate has been broken, and Hexi is about to be lost, where else can Wei Ju and Zihu go?" Yan Gao, who commanded the crossbowmen, frowned and pondered.

There was only one answer, he raised his head quickly, and said in unison with Mu Xia: "Fenglingdu!" ”
