When the Qin knight forces collided with the Huns, the two sides engaged in a battle that was not symmetrical in equipment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info: %77%77%77%76%64%74%77

The Qin army popularized iron equipment in large numbers, which was incomparable to the Huns.

Among the Huns, only a small number of personnel were equipped with iron equipment, and many more Hun knights were able to use only a small number of iron blades or forged bronze spearheads as their standard equipment.

The lethality of these weapons is difficult to inflict relatively effective damage compared to the Qin knights who are basically equipped with iron armor.

Because even some bronze spearheads can pierce the body parts of the iron armor defenses, it is difficult to penetrate into the vital parts, not to mention, the experienced Hun knights, after thinking about it, decided to directly attack the weakly defended limbs of the enemy.

This kind of attack is difficult to bring an instant death blow to a Qin knight, but it is undeniable that once these Qin knights are injured in the wrist or foot, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted on the war horse is indeed greatly reduced.

However, only a few Hun veterans knew this way, and most of the Hun knights couldn't help but be slightly stunned after discovering that their weapons could not give the enemy an effective killing effect.

What awaits them will be a counterattack by the Qin knights or a coordinated attack from the side.

"Kill !!"

Shouts and screams continued to ring out on the battlefield, and as more and more knights from both sides joined the battle array, the area of engagement between the two sides became larger and larger.

Although at the beginning, the troops of Su Xuan and Chen Heng were separated. But overall, the distance between the two armies was not too large, and the Huns rushed directly to the middle between the two Qin knights, that is, the middle of the Qin knights' battle line.

Such an offensive really put the Qin knights on the edge of the two armies in a predicament, but what the Huns didn't expect was that they couldn't break through the line of the Qin knights at once, but were effectively pinned down by the flank officers and soldiers of the two Qin knights at the corresponding distance.

And this battle situation gradually evolved into a situation that was quite unfavorable to the Huns. Because the officers and soldiers of the other direction of the two Qin army knights quickly outflanked them from the left and right.

Although the formation at the rear of the Xiongnu knights quickly divided a part of the officers and soldiers to resist the Qin knights, compared to the overall strength of the Qin knights, the Huns' combat strength could not even maintain a gap of about half of the Qin knights.

Although it is said that an elite unit has very few personnel who are really good at fighting, it is a unit with a fairly high average combat effectiveness. On the contrary, it can occupy a greater favorable factor in the fight against a unit with stronger individual quality.

And at this time, between the Hun knights and the knight troops of Liaoning County. Although the gap in individual combat effectiveness between the two sides is still slightly superior to the Huns, but because of the large gap in equipment, once a Hun knight is entangled by a Qin knight, in the case of insufficient troops, this Hun knight has to face two or even more than three Qin knights.

Therefore, in the case that the scope of the battle between the two sides is gradually increasing, the numerical advantage of the Qin knights is just in such a situation, and it is better to play.

At this time, the knights of the Huns were gradually outflanked by the knights of the Qin army.

......

Of course, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu knew such a situation. However, he did not intend to draw corresponding troops from the main force of his officers and soldiers attacking the Donghu people to reinforce them. Because such an arrangement will not only weaken his own forces to attack the Donghu people, but may even allow the Donghu people to take the opportunity to successfully counterattack, leading to the defeat of this battle.

In his thoughts, as long as this knight army could delay the Qin knights for a longer time, he would be able to concentrate the forces of other troops to defeat the Donghu people. Then after the collapse of the Donghu people, he was able to gather more troops to counterattack the Qin army.

Such an idea of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu is not wrong, and it can even be said that after he decided to defeat the Donghu people first, this idea can be said to be very normal and reasonable.

However, this Zuo Xian King overlooked one point, that is, although the riders under the command of this flank were not considered a rabble. At the same time, he has not participated in today's battles, and he simply has sufficient physical strength and a certain combat ability.

And what he ignored was naturally not the strength of the Xiongnu knights themselves, but the overall combat effectiveness of the knight troops of the Great Qin Empire.

King Zuo Xian's idea is that the riders under his command are not really elite, but as a person who has grown up on horseback since childhood, it is not a problem to be skilled in bow horses.

In this case. Compared with the knight troops of the Great Qin Empire, the riders under his command naturally had the advantage of defeating the other party or delaying it for a longer time.

Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that after he decided not to send reinforcements to support the flank knight troops that were gradually besieged, this group of Qin officers and soldiers who only numbered more than 3,000 people soon gradually besieged their own formation.

If King Zuo Xian changed his mind at this time, he might be able to rescue many Hun riders who had not been completely wiped out, but King Zuo Xian, who was blinded by **, is now more concerned about the fierce battle between his main force and the Donghu people, and gradually gave up his riders who used to block the speed of the Qin army's knights.

Such a situation is, in fact, the most brutal strangulation of the hope of survival for these riders.

And in such a situation, the Qin army knights basically besieged these Hun riders in their battle array, although it was said that in a moment and a half, these Qin army knights had to pay a lot of effort and even a considerable price if they wanted to eliminate more than 3,000 people, but such a battle situation, for the Qin army troops, but Zuo Xian Wang did not expect, that is, these Qin army knights were indeed effectively contained, and for the thousands of Qin army's crossbow chariots, they did not pay attention to their knight robes, but directly bypassed the side of the battle area。

According to the development of such a battle situation, these Qin knights can only gradually get out of the battle area after the infantry troops catch up, and they can't get too involved in this kind of battle at the moment, because the arrows fired by the strong bow and crossbow in their hands have a certain probability of accidentally injuring their robes.

Therefore, the commander of the crossbow chariot unit will not let the officers and soldiers under his command get involved in this kind of battle. Besides, Su Jiao has an order, that is, the task of these crossbow chariot troops is to directly reinforce the Donghu people.

......

The mainstream equipment of the Qin army's crossbow chariot troops is a pouting crossbow or even a slapping crossbow, because the Qin army crossbowmen who fight in the carriage of the crossbow chariot. As long as the speed is not too fast, it can still be loaded with arrows while moving.

Of course, the crossbowmen of these crossbow chariots are now equipped with not only bows, but also a Glaive with an extended hilt. In other words, the function of this glaive knife is mainly to clear the enemy infantry near the flanks of the chariot or behind.

Although the length of this glaive is not a good weapon for fighting on a chariot. And once the force is too strong, some of the less powerful crossbowmen. Instead, there is a possibility that you will be taken out.

However, this weapon is mainly used to attack the enemy infantry or the equipment used to dismantle the wooden barrier of the enemy camp when the enemy camp is attacked, and the main combat method of the crossbow chariot unit is to use the bow and crossbow to carry out long-range strikes.

Zhang Jiashi also did not want to imitate the light chariots of the West, using a driver to drive and use it as a spear thrower.

But the range of the spear was very short, and in such a situation, Zhang Jiashi had to give up this idea. Because Zhang Jiashi himself could think that the combat effectiveness of such a light chariot may not be comparable to that of an assault knight equipped with a Takahashi saddle and double horses.

And the speed of such a combat vehicle. Although it is not too slow to have two or three horses to pull it, it is just that this speed is faster than that of a crossbow chariot, and it is not at all comparable to the speed of a knight.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi finally gave up his idea because of cost performance.

......

More than a thousand crossbow chariots were arranged in a dozen rows, each with a formation of sixty or seventy vehicles, after bypassing the area where the knights were fighting. Keep moving forward.

To be honest, this tactic has many weaknesses, and even Zhang Jiashi can't find a way to effectively make up for the shortcomings.

But I have to deny that the impact of this formation is indeed very large.

While the distance between the two rows of vehicles is widened considerably, the lateral distance of each vehicle allows two vehicles to pass.

This also avoids the fact that even if the driver behind can't react for a while, he will crash into the crossbow chariot that is flipped in front of him.

Of course. If it should be collided, it is still difficult to dodge, so after thinking about the situation in this regard, Zhang Jiashi made a decision, that is, once there is a problem with the chariot in front, the driver of the chariot of the follow-up troops has the right to think about whether he should stop for himself.

Such an idea of letting the driver make a decision was not a whim of Zhang Jiashi.

Although Zhang Jiashi consciously wanted to eliminate the bulky and correspondingly poor mobility of the crossbow chariot. However, based on the characteristics of the crossbow chariot and its ability to assist in carrying the corresponding supplies, Zhang Jiashi finally gave up this idea.

Because if you attack the Huns, the transportation capacity of the crossbow chariot can effectively reduce the bloated level of the team.

Moreover, when camping, the crossbow chariot can also be used as a peripheral barrier for the camp like the Ming army in later generations.

Although the effect of this kind of peripheral barrier is not too great, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that as long as the Huns cannot drive straight in, this kind of "Checheng" defense system is still effective enough.

......

Compared with the situation that the crossbow chariot troops of the Qin army continued to move north, King Zuo Xian was a little dumbfounded.

Because he really didn't expect that the chariots of the Qin army would dare to break away from the cover of the infantry and directly launch an offensive as a force. This made him a little unable to react, because in his heart, the impression given to him by the Qin army or the Central Plains chariot troops was that they were the "leaders" who led the infantry troops to attack the enemy.

I don't blame King Zuo Xian for such a situation, because King Zuo Xian's understanding is not wrong in some aspects.

That is, in many cases, the role of the chariot is indeed to lead the infantry to charge.

In the "Liutao", which is very likely to be a forgery, there is a corresponding description of the use of chariots:

King Wu asked the prince, "What can I do with the chariot?"

Taigong said: "Bugui knows the changes, the car knows the terrain, the riding Gui knows the strange road, the three armies have the same name and different uses, there are ten places of death for all cars, and there are eight places of victory." King Wu said: "What about the land of ten deaths?"

Taigong said: "Those who go and can't return will be killed by the car;

Exhaustion: the former and the latter. The trapped land of the car, the danger of the obstacle and the difficulty of getting out, the Jedi of the car, the gradual and the sticky planting of the black, the labor of the car: the left is dangerous and the right is easy, the one who goes to the tomb and Yanghan, the reverse of the car, the grass is horizontal, the person who commits the deep river, the car is also the "land"; the car is less and the land is easy. Those who are invincible with the foot, the defeat of the car is also in the vernacular, and there is a ditch in the back. There is deep water on the left, and there is a steep one on the right, and the car is also damaged; it rains day and night, and the road collapses, and those who cannot enter in front and cannot be solved in the back, and the car is also sunken. These ten are also the place of death of the car. Therefore, the reason why the clumsy will be captured. The reason why Ming will be able to avoid it is also. ”

King Wu said: "What can I do in the land of eight victories?"

Taigong said: "If the enemy's front and rear movements are undecided, they will be trapped; when the clan flag is disturbed and the number of men and horses moves, they will be trapped; the ten pawns will be trapped before or behind, or left or right; Chen is not strong, and the soldiers will take care of each other before and after." Immediately trapped; going to doubt, then frightened and cowardly, that is, trapped; the three armies were frightened, all of them rose thinly, that is, trapped; the battle was in a different place, and could not be solved in the twilight. That is, it is trapped, and the three armies are afraid, that is, they are trapped, and these eight are also the resorts of the car. It will be clear that it will win eight times out of ten, although the enemy surrounds the periphery, thousands of rides. Ahead of the way, all battles will be won. ”

King Wu said: "Good!"

The point of these contents is to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the vehicles and their utility.

"Infantry combat is important to be familiar with the changing situation, chariot combat is important to be familiar with the terrain conditions, and cavalry combat is important to be familiar with other shortcuts. Cars, infantry, and cavalry are all combat troops, but their usage is different. There are ten types of dead places in chariot combat, and there are also eight favorable situations. ”

Descriptions of the Ten Dead Places:

"What can advance but not turn back is the place where the chariot dies; Those who chase the enemy for a long distance are exhausted by the chariots; those who are flat and easy to navigate in front and difficult to pass behind are the trapped ground of chariots; those who are stuck in danger and difficult to get out of are the Jedi of chariots; the muddy areas that have collapsed and stagnant water are the labor fields of chariots; those on the left side of the chariots are terribly flat and have to climb upwards; those who have to cross deep water when the grass is everywhere are the chariots; those who have a small number of chariots, the terrain is flat, and the chariots and infantry are not properly coordinated, they are the defeated ground of the chariots; there are ditches in the back, deep water on the left, and high slopes on the right are the bad ground for chariots; heavy rain day and night, day and night, the roads are destroyed, and the front cannot be advanced or backward, that is, the trap of the chariot. All ten types of terrain are the death sites of the chariots. Therefore, the foolish general was defeated and captured because he did not understand the dangers of these ten dead places, and the wise general won because he was able to avoid these ten dead places. ”

Description of the eight favorable situations:

Taigong replied: "Before the enemy's front and rear formations have been set, they will take the opportunity to attack it with chariots; when the enemy's banner is disorderly and men and horses are constantly moving, they will take the opportunity to attack it with chariots; some of the enemy's soldiers will move forward, some will retreat, some will go to the left, and some will go to the right, so they will take the opportunity to attack it with chariots; the enemy's position is unstable, and the soldiers will take the opportunity to attack it when they are looking at each other in front and behind; and the enemy will hesitate to advance forward. When they retreated, they were afraid and frightened, so they took the opportunity to attack it with chariots; when the enemy's whole army was suddenly in a state of confusion and huddled together, they took the opportunity to attack it with chariots; when the enemy engaged us on flat terrain, they took the opportunity to attack it with chariots before the battle was over, and when the enemy marched long distances and camped until the great darkness, and the three armies were terrified and uneasy, they took the opportunity to attack it with chariots. All eight scenarios are favorable for tank combat. The general knew the ten kinds of death and eight favorable situations of the above-mentioned chariot battle, and even if the enemy surrounded me on all sides, attacked me head-on with thousands of horses, and assaulted on both sides, I would be able to win every battle. ”

......

Such a situation made King Zuo Xian really stunned.

And he never imagined that Zhang Jiashi's idea of establishing a crossbow chariot unit was derived from the ability of the armored forces in later generations to break through to the enemy as the basis for construction.

Otherwise, Zhang Jiashi would not have used a large number of expensive strong bows and crossbows as the standard equipment of the crossbow chariot troops.

: It is very likely that "Liutao" and "Three Strategies" are pseudo-books, mainly because many aspects of the content are written too advanced, for example, the corresponding description of some official positions in the Three Kingdoms period may be supplements after the Western Han Dynasty......
