Chapter 134: Equipment crushes Mengla
All the cavalry obeyed the order and followed me to pursue the Qin army, I will kill Sima Zhi! I'm going to kill all the Qin army!
After the 50,000 cavalry of the Gupta Dynasty received the order, they mounted their horses one after another and followed the commander Mengla. Gupta chased after the Qin army. The remaining 150,000 soldiers www.biquge.info and horses, in addition to standing by in place, are trying to extinguish the fire in the grain and grass camp by all means. After all, 200,000 troops have come from afar, and once they run out of food, they will die without a place to be buried!
Qin Feng looked back and saw that the enemy army was chasing after him, he laughed, thinking that I am not afraid of you chasing, I am afraid that you will not chase! If you don't chase after you, with the 4,000 cavalry of our Qin army, it will be really difficult to drag your 200,000 army for three or five days. It's easy for you to chase it, and the worst thing will cost you half a day!
After the decision was made, the Qin army ran and stopped in front, and the Gupta Dynasty army chased after it. After a while, the distance between the two sides was shortened to about 100 zhang. Gupta thought to himself, now it's okay, I also have tens of thousands of crossbowmen among my 50,000 cavalry, as long as I get close to a few dozen zhang, I will be two armies rushing to kill, I can't beat you, can I still can't take you under the fire of ten thousand arrows?
At this moment, I saw that the Qin army in front of me was holding a crossbow in one hand, and while controlling the horse and galloping forward, the crossbow was facing the sky, shooting at the pursuing soldiers behind him at an oblique angle.
Mengla. Gupta smiled contemptuously when he saw this: "Fool, this distance is about a hundred zhang, where can the range of a bow and crossbow be so far?" Isn't it a waste of arrows"?
Mengla. Gupta had never confronted the Qin army head-on, so how did he know that the range of the Qin army's hand crossbow was 100 zhang, and the range of the foot crossbow was even more amazing, which could reach 150 zhang. It's just that the foot crossbow is quite bulky and not very convenient to carry, so the cavalry of the Qin army is only equipped with a hand crossbow and a hundred arrows per horse.
And at this time Mengla. Gupta led the cavalry to pursue the Qin army, which was equivalent to running against the rain of arrows, and when moving in the opposite direction, the distance between the arrows and the pursuers was virtually shortened. When the Qin army launched the arrows, the distance between the two sides was about 100 zhang, and the arrows only flew about 80 zhang in the air, and then encountered the pursuers behind them. As a result, the lethality of the arrows shot by the Qin army increased by three percent out of thin air.
is in Mengla. When Gupta laughed at the Qin army's waste of arrows, he saw that the more than 3,000 arrows had already been like a big black carpet, rushing towards these Gupta Dynasty cavalry, covering their heads and faces.
Mengla. Gupta was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly lowered his head, and the guards around him also hurriedly used their shields to block arrows for the coach. Mengla. Gupta is fine, but it doesn't mean that the 50,000 cavalry are all right. The Qin army fired a volley of crossbows, and the pursuers behind them planted hundreds of horses.
Mengla. Gupta only then did he truly understand the true meaning of the legendary Qin army's invincible combat power in the world. The Qin army is going against the sky, it's just that your soldiers' combat power is amazing, the bows and crossbows are so powerful, other people's bows and arrows can only shoot fifty or sixty zhang, and yours can shoot targets outside a hundred zhang.
This kind of equipment is crushed, if the number of people is almost the same, and the financial resources are basically equal, looking at the world, who will be your opponent of the Qin army? Mengla. Gupta was amazed in his heart, but he was also thinking that he was fortunate to have an army of 200,000, otherwise he might not even have the courage to confront the Qin army with such combat power!
As he spoke, the Qin army had already fired three salvos with crossbows, and more than 1,000 of the Gupta Dynasty cavalry were killed by arrows. Mengla. Gupta saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he hurriedly ordered the cavalry warriors to vigorously urge the horses to catch up with the Qin army as soon as possible. As long as he approaches the Qin army in front, no matter how powerful his arrows are, after all, they are long-range weapons, and they will be useless!
The Gupta Dynasty cavalry chased after him desperately, and the war horse under his crotch was almost drawn to death, and the distance between him and the Qin army in front was finally shortened to about 20 zhang.
Mengla. Gupta thought to himself, now it's okay, it only takes a moment, and I can catch up with you and bite you! When the time comes, no matter how powerful you are, my army of 50,000 will consume you to death!
Mengla. Gupta had a brilliant idea, but the reality was cruel. Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, Qin Feng turned his horse's head slightly, rushed out with oblique stabs, and the four thousand Qin army iron cavalry followed closely behind him. The Qin army unexpectedly threw out a graceful arc and rushed to the left oblique direction of the Gupta Dynasty army, rushing to kill.
The four thousand soldiers of the Qin army have such tactical literacy, and they can become one with the war horse while running. One is because the soldiers of the Qin army are all good at riding, and the other is that the cavalry of the Qin army has the blessing of stirrups, commanding the war horse under the crotch, which is naturally like an arm and a finger, flexible and free.
The Qin army can do this, and the Gupta Dynasty has 50,000 cavalry, but it can't do it. I saw that the battlefield situation was quite funny at this time, and the Qin army, which was still running in front just now, appeared on the left side of the pursuers in an instant. And the pursuers who were still pursuing in the rear just now actually rushed straight forward and were split in two by the Qin army from the left side. With such a sudden change in the situation, the cavalry formation of the 50,000 Gupta Dynasty couldn't help but be in chaos.
Qin Feng was overjoyed at first sight, how could he let go of such a good opportunity. He and Sima Zhi each led a battalion of cavalry, and among the Gupta Dynasty cavalry, they jointly charged and killed. In a short time, the Qin army rushed 50,000 enemy troops through two large openings.
These two gaps converge in front of them, then separate again, and after a while, they converge again. Fortunately, the others were caught between these two Qin troops, and the thousands of Gupta Dynasty cavalry fell into a panic in an instant.
Obviously, there were his own people all around, but he saw a spear with a handle, coming straight to him. And the surrounding people were all isolated by these Qin troops. After a while, these thousands of Gupta Dynasty cavalry who were caught by the Qin army were stabbed to death by the Qin army.
And the four thousand Qin troops, the casualties were almost negligible. After a while, Qin Feng led 4,000 Qin troops to break through the right flank of the 50,000 enemy army, and then beat his horse and left. Before leaving, these four thousand Qin soldiers laughed one by one, as if they were laughing at these Gupta Dynasty troops! It seems to be laughing at their coach Mengla. Gupta!
Mengla. Gupta was under heavy protection at this time, looking at the Qin army that had broken through his army of 50,000, he looked a little stupid! Everyone knows this kind of tactical tactics, but who can do it? This not only requires superb command ability in battle, but more importantly, it requires thousands of soldiers under his command, and the battlefield battle is as if it were one person. Only in this way will it be possible to accomplish this seemingly simple, but difficult tactical method.
Mengla. Gupta had already admitted in his heart at this time that the Qin army's combat power was indeed invincible in the world, and he was not their opponent. Mengla. Gupta looked at these Qin troops, thinking that although these Qin troops were only a few thousand, they were fighting in the field, and it was obvious that they could not take advantage of it. In this case, it is better to give up on them and rush to the city of Harappa as soon as possible, when the siege battle comes, it will rely on the soldiers to sell their lives, rely on the siege equipment, no matter how powerful your cavalry is, but there is no use for it!
After making up his mind, Mengla. Gupta ordered that there was no need to chase the Qin army, and all the more than 40,000 troops returned to the camp and rushed to the city of Harappa as soon as possible.
