Chapter 978: Qin Riding Zhao Cavalry

PS: Only one chapter

For the Qin people, Peng Ya used to be a place full of shame. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was still a matter of Qin Mugong's reign, two years after the battle of Kun, in the spring of the twenty-eighth year of King Xiang of Zhou, Qin Mugong ordered Meng Mingshi and others to lead the army to attack Jin, and was ashamed of the defeat of Xuekuo Mountain. Jin Xianggong led the army to meet the battle, and the Qin and Jin armies met Peng Ya in Hexi, but due to the charge of the Jin warriors, the Qin army was in chaos, and the Qin people were defeated again, not only did they not take revenge, but even Peng Ya was lost.

More than 100 years have passed, and the ownership of Peng Ya has changed hands several times, and the nobles of the Qin State can proudly claim that the national humiliation of a hundred years ago is now washed away. With the Qin and Wei turning enemies into friends and the establishment of the Four Kingdoms, not only Peng Ya, but also the entire Hexi were owned by the Qin State, and their Zuo Chang also led the army all the way to Hedong and penetrated into the heart of the Jin State.

Although there was only an empty shell left in Jin at this time, it could still excite the nobles of the Qin State who had borne the shame of several generations.

But not everyone had the opportunity to rush to the front, and the Qin cavalry, which emerged in the battle of Qin and Wei Dali, was placed in the rear by Zipu this time and stationed in Peng Ya. The cavalry of the Qin State learned from the Zhao clan, and the total number was only one division, and half of them were concentrated here. Because Peng Ya is located in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River, it is the only place for Shangjun to lead to Hexi, if Shangjun Zhao Army wants to attack Hexi, it must pass through Peng Ya.

In order to defend this lost and regained territory, and also to leave a back road for the main force in Hedong, Zipu gathered heavy troops here and let the right chief of the Qin State sit in charge.

The battle in Hedong went very smoothly, the commander Zihu was ashamed of Xue Shaoliang, and led the army to rampage there, although he had not yet fought a decisive battle with the Zhao clan, but he had already beaten the Han clan to the point that he was powerless to fight back, and Han, Yu, and one city after another fell into the hands of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.

However, the right chief did not have the opportunity to have this kind of glory, so he could only listen to the good news from the front line, and at the same time complained that the chief was partial and did not give him a chance to prove himself.

The Qin people are still martial, and it is difficult for those who cannot make meritorious contributions outside to ascend to the position of chief.

One day in early March, the first thing he did after waking up was to ask someone to report on the situation on the front line, but he learned a piece of news.

"There are more than 100 Bai Zhai cavalry along the water into the west of the river, cruising and plundering near Peng Yazuo......"

After carefully questioning the scouts, the right chief learned that after those Zhai horses entered Peng Ya, they went straight to the township and the li, looking for places to loot. It is a pity that in the past few years, Hexi has almost turned into a blank land in the back-and-forth battles between Qin, Wei and Zhao, and the people here have either fled to Qin, or fled to Hedong, and even have no way to go to Shangjun, and many places around Pengya Chengyi are deserted. Those Zhai cavalry couldn't find their prey, so they set fire to a few villages in anger and anger, and after breaking through a few pavilions, they rushed straight towards Peng Yacheng.

When the right chief and the others walked to the city wall, they happened to see the more than 100 Zhai horsemen rushing to the front, they braided their hair, their trousers, their heads wore white sheepskin hats, a willow bow across the horse's back, and a narrow bronze sword hanging from their waists. They circled Peng Ya's unstoppable show of martial arts, and loudly pointed out and made fun of the Qin people in the city in Di language, which was nothing more than some words of "Qin people are timid" and "Qin people have been repeatedly defeated by the Jin State".

Not only that, but the Zhai people also captured the Qin soldiers and Wei soldiers they had captured from the Xiangting outside to the city and whipped them. With the help of the horses, each whip of them was a piece of flesh and blood, and those unlucky Qin Wei scouts who were caught were whipped to blood, and let out a desolate and desperate scream.

The faces of the Qin people in the city were very ugly, and the right chief was even more furious, so he wanted to let people go out of the city to kill these bold Zhai people, and the Peng Yashou next to him hurriedly persuaded him: "The concubine is long and slow, maybe there is fraud." ”

After being idle in Peng Ya for two months, the right chief who was worried about not fighting ignored it, and pointed to Zhai Qi, who was about to leave and continue to walk south: "I am ordered by the chief of the great house to guard Hexi, if these Zhai people who work hard for the Zhao family can easily break through Peng Ya and intrude on Wangyi and Xincheng, what face do I have to guard Hexi and lead Zhuyi?" Quickly let the cavalry out of the city to pursue, Hugh must get away with one man and one horse! ”

……

Outside the city, Zhai Cai, who was showing off his might, saw that the gate of Peng Ya was wide open, and hundreds of Qin cavalry rushed out of several city gates, so he immediately threw down his captives and ran away. They have lived on horseback for a long time, and their riding skills are excellent, leaving only a mess of horseshoe prints and billowing smoke and dust in their wake.

The commander of the right concubine had an order, and the two or five hundred lords who commanded the cavalry of the Qin State did not dare to slack off, and chased after him with a group of horsemen who were angry in their hearts.

The grievances between the Qin people and Bai Zhai can be traced back to two hundred years ago, Bai Zhai is located between the Qin and Jin countries, one will help Qin and the other will help Jin, but most of the time they are on the side of their in-laws Jin State, Qin and Jin clashed, and they fought with Bai Zhai. Later, the main body of Bai Zhai migrated to Hebei, and the conflict between Qin and Zhai people gradually decreased, but when Zhao Wuxian entered the upper county, the Zhai people, with the encouragement of Zhao, entered the Qin territory every autumn to plunder grain and population, and called it "Grass Valley". The losses of the Qin people are not much, but they are not annoying, and their cavalry is not empty, and they can often counterattack and beat the Zhai people to the ground, in the eyes of the two or five hundred lords, this time is the same.

The Qin people were contemptuously called "Oriental Shepherds" by the Shu people who remembered the way their ancestors came, and they have had a tradition of raising horses and riding horses for hundreds of years, so after the rise of the Zhao cavalry, the Qin people were the fastest to learn, and they were generally equipped with saddles and stirrups, but the sabers, riding spears and other things have not kept up.

But the cavalry of the Qin State in the battle of Dali a few years ago, has shown strong combat effectiveness, the Qin horses that grew up in the Weishui Valley, are no worse than the horses of Bai Zhai in Shangjun, as the pursuit progresses, the distance between the two sides is slowly being narrowed, two or five hundred main whistles, let everyone hurry up and whip, and strive to surround and annihilate them before the enemy escapes from the range of Peng Ya.

Gradually, they could even see the horse's buttocks in front of them clearly, and the two or five hundred main dynasty took down the horn from their waists, preparing to send orders for the brothers to outflank and intercept the Zhai people.

However, just as he put the horn to his ear and was about to blow it, he heard a horn sound not far away!

A high-pitched and high-pitched trill came into the ears of the Qin people, and the sound came from their left, which seemed to be a signal, and another trumpet sounded in response, this time on the right, followed by the third and fourth, this time the Qin people could not distinguish between east and west, north and south, they only knew that there were countless horns blowing together in the bushes and bushes by the roadside.

Ahh

The Qin people stopped their pursuit and looked around in fear.

After the trumpet, the birds flew away, and the woods beside the road fell silent at once, but in this silence, the two or five hundred lords heard the sound of ten thousand horses galloping.

It didn't matter what the Zhai cavalry was missing, he raised his eyes and looked at the hillside on the other side of the road, and saw a large number of cavalry appearing from behind the dark shadows of the dense forest, the number was only a thousand, they were condescending, with bows and crossbows in hand, and began to walk slowly down the slope after the new horn sounded.

As for their flanks and rear, the more than 100 Zhai cavalry who disappeared brought more than a thousand companions, and countless sheepskin hats seemed to suddenly emerge from the horizon, and the Zhai cavalry formed a messy scattered formation to outflank the Qin people. After entering the firing range, he rushed forward, shot light arrows with his riding bow and turned back, trying to make the Qin cavalry shake until it collapsed.

And in front of the Qin people, is the main force of this ambush, these people are not the side and rear of the Zhai cavalry scattered formation can compare, they are orderly, two thousand horsemen lined up in an endless long horizontal line, well-equipped, iron swords, riding spears, chest armor, the front row of armored horses keep stepping on the hooves.

"Ambushed ......" two or five hundred lords sweated in their hands, he only had eight or nine hundred horsemen, while there were one hundred people on the opposite side as bait, and three or four thousand horsemen were ambushed, and he really looked up to them.

"Lord! Retreat! The five hundred lords behind him said fearfully.

"It's too late...... the two or five hundred lords looked at the Zhao cavalry in front of them, their horses had already begun to spread their legs and cang, and at this time they turned around, just to extend the time for the blade to cross their backs a little, not to mention that there were cavalry outflanking them on the hillside and in the rear.

Instead of retreating and dying, it is better to live to die!

He drew his sword and pointed straight ahead, the only way they could survive.

"Rush over!"

Falling into an ambush, Qin Qi was originally panicked, but he was stimulated by the courage of the two or five hundred lords, anyway, he would die in either direction, maybe there was still a way to live, they drew their long swords one after another, wound Qin's bow, urged their mounts, and shouted with Qin's own horn:

"How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son!"

On the opposite side of the Qin army, Sima Youcheng, the Shangjun who single-handedly planned this ambush, gave an admiring look to the Qin cavalry who dared to charge against the trend.

"Qin Chuan is a strong man."

But it's a pity that there can only be one winner today, and on both sides of Qin and Zhao, only one of the iron cavalry can run rampant in the Central Plains.

Youcheng's gaze immediately turned cold, and he waved the command flag in his hand, and shouted:

"Zhao Qi, Destroy Feng!"
