Chapter 268: Divine Soldiers from the Sky
Turning his gaze to the battlefield on the Northern Front, just before the two sides went to war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhao Kuo divided the 150,000 army into three routes: the main infantry army of 100,000 was divided into two formations, which were changed every half an hour, attacking in turns, and not giving the Wang Ling camp any respite; 50,000 elite cavalry guarded the two wings, and single-handedly intercepted and killed the raiding cavalry hidden in the valley of the royal tomb.
At this time, the whole Zhao army had already understood that this battle was related to the life and death of the whole army, and everyone was brave and desperate. As soon as Zhao Kuo's banner waved on the hills, the 50,000 infantry army roared towards the Qin army camp with the war drums and horns: the bow and arrow brigades on both sides covered with a rain of arrows, and the vanguard brigade immediately rushed up to press the planks and trench carts into the trench, but in the fire ditch section, countless dense earth bags were immediately smashed in; Rushing through the trenches, ladders and various wooden ladders swarmed up the ramparts, and scimitars, shields, and spear warriors rushed up.
After half an hour, the front team felt a little timid, and immediately a second formation replaced the onslaught.
With such a roar and tsunami of killing, the sound of killing shook the sky and fought bloodily, and after four rounds, the camp of Wang Ling was already greatly tightened. The key point is that the 25,000 iron cavalry hidden in the valley of Wang Ling, intercepted by Zhao Kuo's 50,000 superior cavalry, completely lost the role of raiding the flank of the Zhao army.
Moreover, the Zhao army did not allow the onslaught to take turns to attack, and large equipment such as machine crossbows, fierce fire oil tanks, and boulders were not repaired if they were faulty. Rao is Wang Ling changed his chance, immediately gave up the defense in the north, and converted 10,000 cavalry into infantry and put it into the barracks, and all 30,000 infantry troops turned to the defense of the southern wall, which was still full of dangers.
The Zhao army's offensive was still wave after wave, and its ruthless momentum overwhelmed the remaining 30,000 or so Qin troops that they could not support it. At this juncture, the Great Wall of Stone dispatched more than 70,000 infantry troops to shout and attack, and the Qin army camp was suddenly flooded by the red waves on both sides.
Wang Ling jumped out of the trench with a long sword and a blood lion, and hissed: "Old Qin brothers! Fight to the death! Kill āā! In an instant, all the Qin troops gave up their weapons and jumped out of the trench, brandishing swords and spears and began the most tragic head-to-face fight.
It's a pity that no matter how great the courage is, it can't match the gap in strength.
For this battle, Emperor Chen and they worked hard to bring the most elite foot soldiers in the territory. More than 40,000 Inhuman legions cooperated with the 30,000 Zhao army of the Ancient Pass, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and went straight to the north of the Wangling camp.
At this time, to the north of the camp, Wang Ling was forced by the pressure of Zhao Kuo's army and had taken the initiative to give up the defense. Now that he was slaughtered by the enemy from the north, he was immediately caught off guard and suffered from the enemy on his back.
The north was immediately in an emergency, and Wang Ling could only cry out in vain, he really didn't have the strength to transfer troops to defend the north. I could only watch as the north side of the camp fell in an instant.
Emperor Chen and the others stood on the tower of the old gate, watching the battle outside the city, looking full of confidence. In fact, the battle situation did develop as Di Chen and the others expected.
Whether it is the Qin army or the Zhao army, they are all the same tough, the same well-equipped, the same fierce and not afraid of death, and the same fierce and resolute.
The last straw that crushed the camp of the royal tomb was the 40,000 Inhuman Army. The addition of this group of new forces is like a fierce tiger, under the personal leadership of the wolf, with the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain, with the sword and spear in his hand straight into the abdomen of the royal army, straight to the point, the knife is bloody, and the gun is deadly.
Watching the sons and daughters around him fall one after another, Wang Ling let out an unwilling roar.
When Bai Qi was the commander of a thousand soldiers, Wang Ling was the centurion of the iron cavalry, and later he was the main cavalry general of the Qin army, not only fierce and brave, but also cunning and agile and informal. Bai Qi but surprising soldiers, the first choice of the general is Wang Ling.
In the current situation, the two sides were completely hand-to-hand combat, and the Qin army could only fight to the death and hold on until reinforcements arrived. Wang Ling's cunning and agility can't play any role at this time, how sad it is.
By the time Huan led his troops to come to reinforcements, Wang Ling's army had almost been wiped out, and there was not one out of ten.
Zhao Kuo sat on a hill to command the army, and when he saw the Qin army coming from the south for reinforcements, he smiled coldly. He ordered the army attacking from the old pass to continue to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the royal tomb, and be sure to annihilate it completely, opening the passage between the main force of the army and the old pass.
At the same time, Zhao Kuo ordered the main force he brought to turn the gun and prepare to meet the Huan Yu department. After a morning of fierce fighting, there were only more than 120,000 of the 150,000 troops left. Even so, Zhao Kuo was confident that he would stop the Huan Gong army.
Zhao Kuo ordered the infantry army to set up a position and meet the Huan Gong army head-on. After the cavalry temporarily retreated to the infantry army, the formation was reorganized, and then the infantry army was cooperated to flank the Huan Gong iron cavalry.
After the last defeat, Zhao Kuo has obviously matured a lot, and it is no longer what it used to be, and his troops are arranged in a tight formation, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.
When Huan Yu saw the Zhao army's arrangement, his heart tightened, knowing that even if he led his troops to break through the interception of Zhao Kuo's army, Wang Ling's army was afraid that it would be more than lucky. The best option is to withdraw immediately.
However, thinking that Wang Ling was still struggling in the camp, and thinking that there were still thousands of Qin soldiers still waiting for his rescue, Huan Di could only leave behind all his worries, all considerations, and only fight to the death.
If he only relied on the 50,000 troops led by Huan Di himself, he would not have the slightest confidence to break through the interception of the Zhao army. Fortunately, Qin will not die in the sky, and behind him, there are more than 20,000 elite troops of Inhuman cavalry.
74,000 elite cavalry, against the 120,000 Zhao army that had just experienced a big battle, Huan Yu was confident that he would fight to the death and rescue Wang Ling's department.
The horn of the battle to the death sounded fiercely, and the Qin army's iron cavalry fearlessly charged towards the opposite side.
The sound of the horn spread throughout the Xiaodongcang River Valley, and the army of Wang Ling in the distance, hearing the familiar sound of the horn, not only burst into tears, but they knew that the reinforcements they were looking forward to had finally arrived.
Only Wang Ling's heart tightened, and he thought bitterly: The reinforcements came one step late, and it was useless.
When Ouyang Shuo led his troops to the battlefield, the scene he saw was no different from what Huan Yu saw. The difference was that he noticed that among the troops attacking Wang Lingbu in the distance, there was a thick black torrent in the bright red of the Zhao army. Needless to say, it must be the Inhuman Legion of the Zhao State camp.
The scene in front of him really made Ouyang Shuo's heart tremble, but fortunately, in this kind of scene, he had already been mentally prepared, but it was really confirmed, not only sighed in his heart.
Seeing that the front army blew the horn of a battle to the death, Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to think too much, so he could only follow the army and kill Zhao Kuo's army with no indomitable move.
According to Ouyang Shuo's idea, even if he couldn't rescue Wang Ling's department, he would let Zhao Kuo's army break his muscles and bones.
At this moment, Huan Di's military order came from the front. Huan Yu ordered the Inhuman Cavalry Legion to intercept the 40,000 iron cavalry of the Zhao army, while Huan Yu himself led 50,000 iron cavalry to attack the position of Zhao Kuo's infantry army.
Shi Wansui, the chief general of the army, did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the army to insert to the right front, preparing to intercept the 40,000 iron cavalry that the Zhao army had already reorganized.
This is the first time that the Shanhai County cavalry unit has fought against the elite cavalry with real swords and guns, and it is also an excellent opportunity to truly test the strength of the Shanhai County cavalry.
This time, the Janissary Brigade was transformed into the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division. The lieutenant general Evil came to ride the rakshasa and ran at the front of the team.
The 2nd Brigade is a real hoplite cavalry unit, and it can be called one of the strongest hoplites in the era of cold weapons. Under the joint leadership of Evil Lai and Lin Yi, it was like a torrent of steel, colliding with the opponent's Zhao army, stirring up countless dust, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves echoed in the valley, forming the strongest sound on the battlefield.
Since the Zhao State implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, cavalry has been their dominant type of troops. The knight of the Zhao army wore a light and tight-fitting Hufu cowhide soft armor and was equipped with a crescent moon sword.
Zhao Guo's light cavalry, in the face of heavy cavalry such as the Second Brigade and the Praetorian Guard Brigade, especially when the two sides had enough impact distance, made a superior judgment.
The Second Brigade was like a heavy hammer, smashing a bloody path through the cavalry of the Zhao army.
Following this bloody road, the Praetorian Guard Brigade that followed up again exerted its might again, intercepting the Zhao army knights surrounding on both sides for the second brigade, and spreading the bloody road more and more.
Ouyang Shuo followed the Praetorian Guard Brigade, wielding the Heavenly Demon Spear, bringing the Yang family's marksmanship to the extreme, constantly picking the enemy off his horse. The blood-devouring nature of the Heavenly Demon Spear was activated, and the sound of the gun emitted a bewitching red light.
Seeing that the prince was so mighty, the cavalry of Shanhai County was even more demoralized, and they wanted to choose people to eat.
Following the gap opened by the Second Brigade and the Praetorian Guard Brigade, the young military general Luo Shixin led the Fourth Brigade and the Independent Brigade to arrive and further penetrate the cavalry position of the Zhao army.
The Shanhai County cavalry unit won the first battle, and Zhang Liao, who commanded in the center, was naturally not to be left behind, commanding 14,000 cavalry of the coalition army, quickly keeping up, and striving to further expand the results of the battle.
In this way, the elite Zhao Jun Iron Cavalry, in front of the more elite Shanhai County cavalry, was severely taught a lesson because of arrogance, and was caught off guard.
Whether it was Zhao Kuo, who was commanding in the hills, or Huan Yu, who was leading the army to storm Zhao Kuo's infantry army, they were all taken aback when they saw this scene. Obviously, none of them expected that the Inhuman Legion would have such combat power.
Zhao Kuo saw that the situation was not good, if he was intercepted by the other party's cavalry, it was possible to join forces with Wang Lingbu, which he did not want to see, and immediately shouted: "A thousand cavalry will be intercepted and killed with me!" ā
Zhao Kuo's thousand-person flying horses are all first-class knights of the Zhao army, known for their light and fierce, all of them are exquisite, and their sitting war horses are unique in the world.
Like a whirlwind, the thousand cavalry rushed down the hill quickly, rushing behind the cavalry before the second brigade broke through the cavalry of the Zhao army, blocking the way of the second brigade.
The advantages and disadvantages of the second brigade, such an orthodox heavy cavalry, are very obvious. The advantage is that when they launch a charge, they are indomitable and unbeatable. The disadvantage is that their turning radius is too large, their mobility and flexibility are too poor, they have exhausted their momentum, and in the face of the thousand cavalry led by Zhao Kuo, they immediately fell into disadvantage.
