Chapter 66: The Defeat of the Qin Army (Part II)

War horses are synonymous with backwardness for us modern people, modern society is using machinery, who cares about war horses?

In ancient times, war horses were one of the most important strategic resources, related to the rise and fall of a country, because wars required a large number of war horses. War horses are needed to form cavalry, war horses are needed to transport troops, in a word, if an army wants to have the ability to move quickly, if it wants to have a strong attack power, it must have war horses.

Therefore, some people say that "cavalry is the trump card of the cold weapon era", and its role is equivalent to that of the armored forces in World War II, and it is known for its rapid mobility and strong offensive power.

It is precisely because of this that the ancient war horse is extremely important, and all dynasties have attached importance to it, so a famous policy called "horse politics" has been introduced. One of the important reasons why the Han and Tang dynasties were able to achieve great success, the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the powerful Xiongnu, and the Tang Dynasty was able to destroy dozens of countries, that is, the Turkic and such powerful nomadic people were also destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, one of the important reasons was that the "horse administration" of the Han and Tang dynasties achieved great success.

It is precisely because of the success of Ma Zheng that the government has mastered a large number of excellent war horses, which can be used to build cavalry. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted military reform, mainly cavalry, created a large number of elite cavalry, and swept the Xiongnu under the command of genius generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, creating an immortal legend.

The Tang Dynasty was even more bullish, regardless of the type of troops, and each person had a war horse, that is, the infantry was also riding a horse when marching, which was extremely mobile with the Tang army. It was precisely because of this that the Turkic Khan heard that Li Jing personally led the army to attack, and mistakenly thought that the Tang Dynasty army had arrived. Flee alone. "Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan" has achieved brilliant results. It has become a classic in the history of warfare.

In the Warring States Period, the Warring States period was conscripted, and there were wars every month of the year, and the consumption of war horses was too large, resulting in extremely expensive war horses, which required a huge amount of financial resources to pile up. Xin Lingjun was desperate to kill war horses to fill the trenches of the Qin army, which was too appalling. Even the battle-hardened generals such as Wang Ling, Meng Fu and Huan Qi are also jaw-dropping.

In such a way of playing, they never dreamed of it, and at first glance, they all lost their voices.

"He's crazy! He's really crazy! Wang Ling screamed as if his ass had been burned by fire.

"Xinlingjun is mad! How can anyone do this regardless of the loss of war horses. Huan Qi also roared, and his eyes were full of anger.

"This man is unreasonable! Unreasonable! Meng Fu's mouth was open for a long time, and then a sentence popped out.

They are well aware of the importance of war horses, and as long as they command the battle, they will definitely find ways to reduce the losses of war horses. Look at their angry looks, as if this is not the war horse of the Wei army. It's like his family's war horse.

"Hurry up here and prepare to meet the enemy." Qin Yiren did not count the number of Lingjun and reminded loudly.

Although Xin Lingjun succeeded in capturing the Wei army, this success has a huge danger, that is, he really has no way to retreat, he can only succeed, not fail, even if it is a small failure. If he fails, not to mention how the King of Wei will deal with him, even these Wei troops will not let him go. Because the Wei army would say that it was Xinling Jun who forced them, and if Jin was here, they would not be defeated.

The only way to remove this danger is to defeat the Qin army.

In order to defeat the Qin army and get out of the crisis, Xinlingjun was desperate and did whatever it takes. Don't say that he fills the trench with a war horse, if it is useful to fill it with gold, he will not hesitate.

As long as he wins, as for the cost, he will not think about it.

With Qin Yiren's understanding of Xinlingjun, of course he knew what Xinlingjun would do next, once the trench was filled, he would order an attack on the Qin army's camp.

"Even if he fills up the trench, we still have a camp, and we are not afraid of him. As long as Wei Gou dares to attack, he will be allowed to come and go. Huan Qi glanced at the Wei army that was rushing towards him, full of confidence.

It's not that he is blindly confident, but since the rise of the Qin State, the Wei army has never defeated the Qin army, and the Qin people really don't take the Wei army seriously.

"Array." Wang Ling had no objection, and immediately ordered that the Qin army move towards this place and begin to set up a formation, preparing to meet the enemy.

If you line up in the camp, you will encounter a big problem, and that is that there is no place. The camp was full of tents, and there was no room for the army to line up. As a last resort, Wang Ling ordered the tent to be removed to clear the space for the Qin army. As a result, the speed of the Qin army's formation was unusually slow, and it could not form a formation for a long time.

"It's too late." Qin Yiren saw it in his eyes and knew that time was pressing, so he hurriedly said to Wang Ling: "General Wang, hurry up and give an order, send troops out to stop the Wei army trench and buy time." ”

Regarding this question, Huan Qi took the lead in opposing it, and said: "Childe, you have not experienced the battle array, and you don't know the magic of the dignified array. At the moment, the Wei army suddenly attacked, and we rushed to the battle, even if we sent our troops out to meet the enemy, we could not form a formation, and the casualties were not small. ”

"yes." Meng Fu nodded in agreement, and said, "Even if Wei Gou fills in the trench, we still have a camp, which can resist for a while, enough for us to form a formation." ”

The role of the camp is to rely on, once attacked by the enemy, you can use it to resist, the Qin army's camp is very strong, they have enough self-confidence.

"Childe, this is a war, not a polemic." What Wang Ling meant by this was that Qin Yiren still had to learn from their old-timers in the matter of fighting.

"If I'm not mistaken, Xinlingjun will take our camp in one go." Qin Yiren bit his lip tightly and said in a deep voice: "Going out to stop the Wei army from filling the trench is the most effective one, although there are many casualties. ”

"There is no such thing." Wang Ling, Huan Qi, and Meng Fu all opposed it.

Qin Yiren really wanted to slap them a few times to make them sober up. However, he also knew that it would not work. Because he is not a famous general, he is not a general, in the eyes of Wang Ling, Qin Yiren is just a "rookie", and his words have no weight.

Soon, Qin Yiren's words were fulfilled.

After a charge, the Wei army filled the trench with war horses, and could directly attack the camp.

At this moment, a contingent of thousands of people appeared in the Wei army. This team was different, these soldiers were tall and extremely strong, dressed in iron armor and bright armor. They hold heavy weapons in their hands, long sticks, big knives, giant swords, big axes, giant hammers, all kinds of weapons, and so on, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are particularly heavy, at least more than 100 catties.

This team marched neatly towards the Qin army camp, and every step they took would erupt into earth-shattering footsteps, which was very terrifying.

"This is ......" Wang Ling, Huan Qi, and Meng Fu widened their eyes with a look of shock.

"What is Wei Gou going to do?" A soldier of Qin saw it in his eyes, he was very puzzled, and asked loudly.

"Can the camp still resist?" Qin Yiren asked in a deep voice at Wang Ling.

"Quick, array, array." Wang Ling's eyes were round, his face was pale, his face was distorted, and the green tendons on his forehead, neck, and the back of his hands were angry, like the branches of an old tree.

With his vision, he naturally understood what Wei Jun was going to do.

Xinlingjun wanted to use this special army to break through the camp of the Qin army.

Although the Qin army's camp was strong, it could not withstand the attack of so many people with heavy weapons. Thousands of people bombarded the camp with heavy weapons, and no matter how strong the camp was, it could not withstand it.

Once the camp is breached, the Wei army will take advantage of the situation to attack in, and the Qin army has not yet formed a formation, and the consequences are unimaginable.

"Smack!" Huan Qi slapped himself hard, looking at Qin Yiren's gaze was a little different, he was a veteran general, and the enemy was not as accurate as Qin Yiren, he was ashamed, and said humbly to Qin Yiren: "Childe, Huan Qi pleases guilt." ”

"General, meet the enemy quickly." How could Qin Yiren be in the mood to care about his Daoqian, facing the enemy was the most important thing.

"That's right! Meet the enemy. "This time, Huan Qi and Meng Wei have no objections and agree very much.

When the war comes to this point, it will not be possible to meet the enemy.

"Crossbow, shoot." Wang Ling ordered loudly, and the strong crossbows in the camp shot at the thousands of Wei troops, shooting and killing many Wei troops, but they could not stop the Wei army from attacking.

Because the strong crossbows defending the camp were not dense enough, how could the crossbow array be powerful, it was naturally impossible to stop the Wei army from attacking. If the Qin army is allowed to set up a crossbow array, these Wei troops will not be enough to see at all. It's a pity that this can only be thought of, the Wei army came too quickly and caught the Qin army off guard.

Soon, the Wei army rushed to the camp, raised the heavy weapons in their hands, and smashed them against the camp.

"Boom!" I only heard an earth-shattering sound, and the earth shook like an earthquake. The Qin army's camp was stray and overwhelmed.

"Smash!" As soon as it worked, Wei Jun Xinling shook violently, and broke out with a shocking roar, and the heavy weapon in his hand was raised again, and it smashed down, and there was another earth-shattering loud noise.

Seeing that the camp was about to be breached, and the Qin army had not yet formed a formation, Wang Ling only felt that the world was spinning, and said vigorously: "I regret not listening to my son!" Regret not listening to the words of the child! ”

This was the second time he hadn't listened to Qin Yiren's words, and he soon found out that he was wrong again. If he adopted Qin Yiren's suggestion and sent troops out of the camp to block the Wei army from filling the trenches, although the cost was great, he could buy time.

"Childe, how should this be?" Wang Ling asked Qin Yiren.

"Yes, Childe, what do you say you should do?" The generals looked at Qin Yiren with blank eyes, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Previously, they didn't believe in Qin Yiren, but after some twists and turns, Qin Yiren's words were fulfilled, and Qin Yiren's weight increased sharply in their minds, and they began to ask Qin Yiren for advice.

That's a good start.

"It's too late to line up now, so let's just not line up, and we'll fight a unique melee with the Wei army." Qin Yiren frowned, and immediately had an idea.

"Good idea." The generals agreed in unison.

It was too late for the Qin army to line up, so it was better to give up the formation and prepare for a melee with the Wei army. In the battle, the Qin army could not form a formation, and the Wei army could not form a formation either, so it became a melee. As for who can win, it depends on whose individual combat ability is strong.

When it comes to individual combat ability, the Wei army is not as good as the Qin State Rui Shi in any case, and it should be the Qin army that has the upper hand.

This is indeed the best way to deal with the current Wei army.

"Boom!" The camp was breached, and the confidence of the Wei army was greatly boosted, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and swarms rushed in. (To be continued.) )
