Seventy-five, Dushan chariot battle
As soon as Zhang Bao occupied the Dushan Pass, he ordered the attack to continue. The two captains of the guards became full-time sneak attack on the mountain pack.
Zhang Bao's painting gourd was still effective at the beginning. From the time of Mao to the time of Chen, he successively captured six positions of the Qin army, advanced to the depths of Dushan for about seven miles, occupied about 30 small hills, and obtained a camping base for the follow-up Wei army. But it won't work any further, the width of the Qin army's frontal defense has reached five miles, and there are guard posts on several consecutive mountain packs around it, you want to climb up, that's a dream?
When Zhang Bao was in trouble, one of his military doctors, Jian Yiyi: "We have captured hundreds of carts, do you want the sergeants to push these carts to attack the Qin army's position?" This time, the rain of arrows of the Qin army will not work, and secondly, it can shorten the charging distance to less than ten steps. At a distance of ten steps, launching a charge, and stepping together is hand-to-hand combat, which is Wei Wushu's strength. General, you can refer to, reference! ”
As soon as Zhang Bao thought about it, it made sense, so he directly adopted it. He personally organized five detachments of 500 men each, with fifty carts, each of which was pushed forward by ten sergeants. These ten sergeants were accompanied by five spearmen and five sword-and-shield bearers. The order given to the sergeant was to push the cart within ten paces of the Li Qin army's formation, use the cart to form a forward position, and use crossbow arrows to cover the next group of Wei troops, and wait for 1,500 soldiers to gather before launching a charge.
The Doctor also brought in the craftsmen of the army to attach planks to the carts to cover the arrows. After these indicators are in place, it is past the end of the day. Zhang Bao shouted: The attack begins! Under the order, the first batch of 500 people of the Wei army pushed 50 carts and slowly pushed towards the position of the Qin army. The Qin army waited until the cart was fifty paces away, and then began to release arrows. The arrows clanged into the planks of the cart, and the Wei army was unwound, and the cart continued to advance. When the cart was almost twenty-five steps away from the position, the Qin army sent a team of 500 people to rush towards the cart.
Behind the cart of the Wei army, the sword and shield bearers of those carts were all part-time crossbowmen, and as soon as they saw the Qin army attacking, they took out their crossbows and shot them. The Qin army was unprepared for a while, and it was a burst of people flying on their backs; But after less than three breaths of chaos, the Qin army used shields to stabilize the formation, and under the command of the military officials, they also pounced on a car according to the arrangement of ten people.
The two armies immediately fought fiercely about twenty paces in front of the Qin army's formation.
Zhang Bao looked at it, waved his hand, and the second batch of fifty carts set off. This batch of cars was not stopped by the rain of arrows, and the distance of hundreds of paces arrived in less than a dozen breaths. But the Qin army was not slow, and as early as when the first batch of Wei troops and the Qin army were engaged in the enemy, the second batch of five hundred Qin troops jumped out and rushed to support. Before the Wei army arrived, the Qin army used absolute superiority to fight around the first batch of Qin troops. When Zhang Bao ordered the second group to set off, the third group of 500 people of the Qin army also set off to the front of the battle to block the Wei army's cart plan.
Zhang Bao was ruthless and ordered: The third batch of carts set off! He also ordered: 51,000 heavy armor, follow the cart!
The 1,500 men of the Qin army fought with the 2,500 men of the Wei army on the post road. Since both sides used the tactics of adding oil, and the field was so large, the Qin army did not increase the number of people, so they used 1,05 and 2,500 Wei troops to fight. The Qin army is small, not only does not suffer losses, but also occupies a small number of people, just in this ground is very good, plus it is the first person to be sent, so it occupies a geographical advantage, so the more and more comfortable it is, the Wei army continues to drive out of the protection of the cart, concentrate the local superior forces, and encircle and annihilate the Wei army with a car and a car.
And what about Wei Jun? Due to Zhang Bao's command error, the 150 carts, in addition to the 50 in front to protect the Wei army, the 100 in the back blocked the not wide post road, making it difficult for the heavy armored sergeants to move forward, not to mention, and also blocked the way for the sergeants on the carts to fight with the Wei army.
At this time, a strange situation appeared on the battlefield: the Wei army in front was surrounded and slashed by the Qin army, and they continued to fall to the ground one by one. The Wei army in the middle, surrounded by the Qin army on both sides of the road, shot at the Wei army with crossbow arrows from time to time, and stabbed hard at the gap between the large and small cars with a spear from time to time, bringing out a puddle of blood, and the Wei army in the cart let out a scream, and fell to the ground with a person. If you run from the front of the car and the back of the car, you don't have to think about it, you are blocked by the big car in the middle, and you have to turn over the big car first. But as soon as you climbed into the cart, before you could stand firm, the arrows rained down on your head, and you died instantly. The fifty carts behind, also in a row of two, were placed on the post road, and the advance was blocked by their own middle carts, and the retreat was blocked by their own heavily armored warriors, and they could only stare at the Wei army that was being slaughtered by the Qin army in the middle.
Fortunately, the Qin army only had 1,500 men, and only 500 sergeants were sent to intercept the Wei army's 50 carts on the rear road, which made the losses of the rear army far less than that of the front and middle roads.
When Zhang Bao saw this situation, his eyes turned red. But the post road is so wide, and it is built on the mountain, you want to send troops to support from both sides of the post road, and it is not possible to rescue the Wei army, and the two sides of the post road that are not wide have long been occupied by the Qin army. The Qin army used a shield army, five people in a row to block the open space on both sides of the post road, behind the shield are archers and spearmen, while attacking the Wei army on the road, and guarding the Wei army who want to rescue from the open space. Zhang Bao is helpless, it is worth ordering: the heavy armored sergeant quickly retreats! Give way to the big car army.
The retreat of the heavily armored sergeants, although it gave the Dache army a way to retreat, also shook the morale of the Wei army. Following the retreat of the heavy armoured army was the rear road cart army. As soon as the Qin army saw the retreat of the rear army, he shouted: "The Wei army has fled!" The Wei army fled! The Qin army shouted while pursuing the rear army, although there were less than 500 sergeants in pursuit, but the momentum of the pursuit made by 500 people was still quite scary in this narrow mountain post road. The front army, which was already fighting for trapped beasts, couldn't stand it first, or maybe the soldiers died in battle, but they actually raised the white flag and surrendered anyway? The second was the middle route army, although not a single person surrendered, only surrounded by the Qin army in the middle of the road, a cart of cars were stabbed to death by spears or shot to death by bows and crossbows, in less than a quarter of an hour, all of them were killed in battle, and no prisoners were taken.
After Zhang Bao cleared the attack road, and then looked at the hundred long post roads, there was still his Wei army, only the carts that were ignited by the Qin army were burning. Zhang Bao was so angry that he almost vomited blood! But now, he didn't even have time to vomit blood, so he had to hurry up and grab Wei Jun's corpse! Everyone else rested on the spot. Because he knew that the morale of his army was over. He can only fight again after the reinforcements come, replace them, and rest well. Of course, he couldn't fight under him, because these sergeants saw that the attack, which had a good chance of winning, was caused by this rush and a mistake in command, which led to the failure of this attack. I will also take the blame for my resignation in a hurry, and I want Lieutenant General Wei Hu to ask for guilt!
