Chapter 17 Zhao Kuo II

The black uniforms, black armor, and black flags converge into a black ocean, and at a glance, there is no edge in sight. "The domain name of this site is the point, please remember the domain name of this site!"

Above this vast ocean, there is a huge dark cloud, which connects the sky and the earth, giving people a heavy sense of depression.

Soon, the black ocean was closer, and I could see it more clearly, only to see that the Qin army was excited, with high morale and high morale, singing war songs, stepping on firm steps, indomitable, and unstoppable.

The first to arrive was the horse army (cavalry), a war horse, fat and strong, and at a glance it was a first-class horse. What's even more rare is that the riders are all tall, like iron towers, powerful, vigorous, and extremely exquisite riding skills, giving people a feeling of "unity of man and horse".

"Good! It is worthy of being a fine rider killed from the Longxi River Valley! Huang Shigong's eyes shone brightly, and he praised loudly.

"It's really well-trained, such a good horse army, even the Huns can't compare!" Wei Yi is also full of praise.

"Huns? Ha ha! Qin Yiren laughed proudly and said: "Back then, when my ancestors fought in the Longxi River Valley, the light troops rushed forward, and they were unstoppable, the Huns didn't know where to pick up horse manure. ”

When it comes to the cavalry of the Qin and Han dynasties, people will naturally think of the Huns, thinking that the Huns are good at riding and archery and can live their lives on horseback, which is a headache. But I don't know that compared with the ancestors of Qin Shi Huang, the Xiongnu is too far behind.

The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people in the Longxi River Valley (Qinghai-Tibet Plateau), this tribe is good at riding and shooting, sacrificing life and death, daring to fight to the death, and is famous far and wide. According to the records of later generations, the Qin tribe wore leather armor, carried bows and arrows, hung human heads around their waists, and brandished scimitars, bravely rushing to kill.

In order to belittle Qin Shi Huang, later generations scolded his ancestors for being uncivilized barbarians, which is why he came.

Speaking of cavalry, that is the Qin tribe's forte, how can it be bad?

These cavalry that drove to the city of Handan are the best proof of this.

Immediately following the cavalry were countless halberders, a long halberd with a branch of about two zhang long, forming a halberd forest, which was intimidating.

The halberd is a long weapon of the Warring States period, about two zhang long, the handle of the halberd is made of wood, and the tip of the halberd is made of bronze, which shines with a golden light in the sunlight, dazzling.

The halberd of the Qin army is not only used for fighting, but also an important part of the formation of the Qin army's array.

In the history of mankind, there are two most famous phalanxes, one is the "Macedonian phalanx", it is with this phalanx that Alexander the Great conquered a large area of land and established the famous "Alexander Empire". The other phalanx is the Qin army array, once the Qin army formation is formed, it is invincible, even if it is a cavalry, it does not want to shake it.

It is precisely because the Qin army has this phalanx in hand that the Qin army fights the six countries of Shandong with one enemy and six enemies, and the more they fight, the stronger they become.

The halberders held the halberds, the halberds pointed to the sky, stepped on a firm pace, prematurely corrected, lined up in a neat battle formation, and drove to the city of Handan.

"Extraordinary!" Huang Shigong was full of praise and was very emotional, and said: "People say that businessmen are like tigers, and they practice many hegemonic techniques, but they don't know that the Qin army he built is so good. ”

"That's right!" Wei Yu also nodded heavily, echoed loudly, and said: "If you don't see the battle formation of the Qin army with your own eyes, you really don't know that Shang Jun is a rare soldier, and his talent is not under Sun Wu!" ”

Later generations know that the Qin army can fight well, invincible, and invincible, but few people know that this is from the hands of Shang Ying. As everyone knows, Shang Ying successfully changed the law, and Qin Gong became a first-class Warring States, and the six countries of Shandong were defeated, but they didn't know that Shang Ying was a rare military wizard in Chinese history, and the Qin army he built was the best portrayal of his extraordinary military talent.

It's a pity that Shang Ying died too early, young, and his outstanding military talent was only a small show. That is, he led the Qin army to recover the land west of the river and captured Gongzi Ang alive.

Later generations thought that this battle was because Gongzi Ang fell into Shang Ying's plan and was captured alive by Shang Ying, and the Qin army defeated the Wei army and recovered the land west of the river. Actually, this is a big fallacy.

Gongzi Ang is indeed a fool, he can only eat, drink and have fun, and will not use soldiers to fight, he also fell for Shang Ying's plan and was captured alive by Shang Ying. However, the Qin army was faced with the "Wei Wushu" at that time, which was a tough battle, and it was also a test faced by the Qin army's sharp soldiers, and the Qin army defeated Wei Wushu and achieved great success, verifying the correctness of Shang Ying's thinking on governing the army.

Wei Wushu is a hoplite trained by the famous general Wu Qi in the Wei State, which is the first heavy infantry in human history. At that time, looking at the whole world, bronze weapons were being used, and only this Wei warrior was using iron soldiers, once it appeared on the battlefield, it was an indestructible steel fortress, who could beat the front?

It is precisely because of the existence of this Wei warrior that Wei became the overlord of the early Warring States period, commanding the world and not daring to disobey.

How strong is Wei Wushu's combat power? Sun Bin is the clearest.

Sun Bin trained a group of "skilled fighters" who were good at individual combat in the Qi State, so that the combat power of the Qi army was greatly improved, but he still did not dare to face Wei Wushu head-on, in the face of Wei Wushu under the command of Pang Juan, Sun Bin had to use the plan again and again, Yin* Pang Juan entered the terrain of the complex division of Ma Ling and Guiling, limited the combat power of Wei Wushu, and gave full play to the strength of the Qi State technical fighters who were good at individual combat, so as to defeat Wei Wushu.

In the battle of Shang Ying's recovery of Hexi, the Qin army's sharp soldiers did not use the terrain to restrict Wei Wushu, but shook it head-on, defeated Wei Wushu, and completely defeated Wei Wushu.

Looking at the Warring States Period, the only one who could defeat Wei Wushu in a frontal hard shock was the Qin army!

"It's a pity, Qin Xiaogong died too early, and his ambition was not rewarded! Otherwise, Shang Ying would not have died so early! Qin Yiren also sighed.

Qin Xiaogong is sick from hard work, tired to death, as soon as he dies, Shang Ying will definitely die, what is the reason?

First, because King Qin Huiwen and Shang Yang had a holiday, and the two of them couldn't urinate in the same pot, King Qin Huiwen couldn't reuse Shang Yang like Qin Xiaogong; The second is that King Qin Huiwen can't let go of Shang Ying, if a capable person like Shang Yang is let go, then he will create a first-class Warring States like Qin State, which is to set up an opponent for Qin State.

Shang Ying can't be used, can't be put away, Shang Ying's fate is doomed, there is only one word: death!

The halberd was followed by a light infantryman, carrying a hard bow and arrow, a Qin sword hanging from his waist, and wearing leather armor.

For the Qin people, mounted archery is the most basic military technique, which everyone must master, no matter what kind of army, must be learned. It makes sense that the light infantry carried bows and arrows.

Behind the light infantry were archers, all of whom carried hard bows and arrows on their backs, hung Qin swords from their waists, and were dressed in leather armor, which at first glance was no different from the light infantry.

Behind the archers, there are large siege equipment, including rushing cars, crashing cars, stone throwers, and Qin crossbows......

These large-scale siege equipment are very cumbersome and inconvenient to transport, but fortunately, the Qin State implements "standardized" production, all parts can be interchanged, and they can be disassembled, transported to the battlefield, and then assembled.

When we think of standardization, we think of ISO and think it's a foreigner's invention. But I don't know that our ancestors used it as early as the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, and the Qin State is the master of this, and the bronze arrow clusters in the terracotta warriors and horses have been tested by modern means and the error does not exceed 0.02 mm.

How amazing it is that our ancestors reached this level more than 2,000 years ago!

Of course, the comprehensive establishment of "standardized" production in the Qin State will go to Lü Buwei as the state. Lü Buwei was born as a big businessman, and he was very good at this aspect, and at his request, not only large siege equipment, but even small arrow clusters were no exception, which was Lü Buwei's greatest contribution to the Qin State.

The arrival of the 200,000 Qin army was orderly and did not see the slightest chaos, which was shocking!

The entire Qin army, except for the heavy footsteps, hooves, the hunting sound of the banner and the sound of orders, there was no other sound, if Qin Yiren hadn't seen it in person, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

It's so rare!

The Qin army drove to the city and began to set up camp, in order, without the slightest chaos, everything was in order, and soon, a huge camp appeared under the city of Handan, surrounding Handan.

"Guess, how many troops did the Qin State send?" Qin Yiren looked at the camp outside the city with great appreciation.

"Wang Ling's bluff will definitely scare King Zhao's guts!" Huang Shigong also nodded heavily, greatly appreciative.

"Wang Ling is known as the 'Eagle Eye Fox Heart', worthy of this title, clever and clever!" Wei Yu is also admired.

Obviously there were only 200,000 Qin troops, Wang Ling bluffed and doubled the camp, creating the illusion of the arrival of 400,000 Qin troops to the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, this hand is really clever.

As Huang Shigong said, Zhao Xiaocheng Wang Junchen ascended to the top of the city, looked at the situation outside the city, and everyone was frightened and frightened. King Zhao Xiaocheng had cold sweat on his forehead, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and he was almost planted from the city, but fortunately, he was still a little smart, and he endured the fright, and was not paralyzed on the spot.

If he were to be frightened and collapse on the top of the city, it would inevitably cause a great panic, in which case a great deal could not be done.

Forcibly holding back his fright, with the support of Guo Kai, King Zhao Xiaocheng returned to the palace, could no longer support it, and muttered vigorously: "400,000!" 400,000! How did this happen? What does Da Zhao use to fight? ”

Not only King Zhao Xiaocheng was frightened and at a loss, but he was the ministers of Pingyuan Jun, who was not as good as him?

Panic spread like a plague in Handan City, everyone was terrified, everyone was terrified, and the whole Handan City fell into a panic.

The only one who is still calm is Xinling Jun, he put on his helmet and armor, stood at the head of the city, and loudly encouraged the morale of the army: "Go to the city!" Go to town! Give me all the way to the city! The tiger wolf Qin people are also human, so what are they afraid of? ”

Looking at his appearance, as if he really didn't take Qin Guorui in his eyes, in fact, he was forced to endure his fright and had to do it.

He knew very well that he was really lucky to be able to become the general of Zhao Guo this time, because King Zhao Xiaocheng felt guilty in his heart and did not want to reuse Lian Po. If he doesn't do a good job, King Zhao Xiaocheng will inevitably take away his military handle and reactivate Lian Po.

If that's the case, he'll be a laughing stock and a shameful person!

If he can't hold Handan and can't save Zhao, what will he do to persecute King Wei? His ambitions will come to naught!

"Although this person's name knows the soldier, he is a lie, he doesn't know the Qin army's tactics at all, he sent people to the city like this, he is sending him to death!" Wei Yi saw it in his eyes, shook his head fiercely, and was very disdainful of Xin Lingjun's actions.

"Huh!" Qin Yiren and Huang Shigong glanced at each other, very funny, and said, "He, that's Zhao Kuo's second!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend this work as a registered member of literature, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
