Chapter 126: The Decisive Battle of Qin and Chu 5
readx;
Zhang Wu's muttering: "Should it be ......" actually proved that his guess was correct. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infohttp:/// because of the instability of the battle line on the other front, it was indeed brought about by Xiang Yu.
Several officers of the Qin army who fought with Xiang Yu, except for a five-hundred-hundred-master with the peak strength of an intermediate ranger, relied on his many years of combat experience to fight against Xiang Yu for a few moves, and was cut in two by Xiang Yu and his horse. As for the other officers of the Qin army, they were not Xiang Yu's opponents at all, and they were killed by Xiang Yu before their weapons collided with Xiang Yu.
A two-five hundred lord who was in charge of commanding this group of knights about one hundred and fifty meters away wanted to send other officers and soldiers under his command over to reinforce him, but the other Chu knights were stubbornly pestering him and the nearby Qin knights.
And with Xiang Yu's leading soldiers, he took the lead in leading the guards knights under his command to attack the formation of some Qin army knights, and the casualties of this Qin army knights were very heavy.
But for Xiang Yu, he really wasn't as easy as the Battle of the Giant Deer.
Of course, even now, all the blood stains on the armor on his body belong to the Qin officers and soldiers, but he knows one thing very well, that is, the combat effectiveness of this Qin army knight is not comparable to the Qin army knights under Zhang Han at that time.
He was indeed not afraid of these Qin knights attacking him, and these Qin knights were killed by him without even a few of them being his enemies.
But their own guards and the nearby Chu knights were not so easy, because their battle situation in this area was indeed counterattacking the battle formation of the Qin knights, but more, the Qin knights in many directions suppressed most of the Chu knights, and many Chu knights paid quite heavy casualties under the enemy's offensive, and the killing ability given to the other party was relatively small.
This is also a matter of no way, compared to the spears and even some relatively unpopular long weapons equipped by the officers and soldiers of the Chu army, the scimitars equipped by the knights of the Qin army in large quantities, although they are much shorter in length, but in close combat, these scimitars can indeed bring greater lethality to these Chu knights.
After the knights in front of them were cut off by these scimitars, a small number of Chu knights were keenly aware of the obvious disadvantages of long weapons against this weapon, and they shouted loudly: "Those who have swords draw their swords and kill the enemy!!"
I have to say that many Chu officers and soldiers are people who have been in battle for a long time, and when many of them heard this, they also realized that they really seemed to have problems in this regard.
However, these Chu knights are not better equipped than the cavalry troops under Zhang Jiashi, and these Chu knights are not to blame for such a situation, after all, the national strength of the Chu State has gradually widened the gap between the Great Qin Empire, which has been gradually restored, under the development of so many years. This can be seen from the weapons, armor, and mounts of the knights on both sides.
The knights under Zhang Jiashi's command, except for the recruits, are basically equipped with iron armor, while the knights of the Chu army cannot fully equip the armor in many aspects, let alone the relatively expensive iron armor equipment.
In terms of swords, spears and other weapons, a considerable number of Chu knights used more weapons that were circulated and hidden during the Warring States Period.
And these knights of the Chu army, only a small number of officer-level personnel will be equipped with additional swords. And a small number of knight officers of the Chu army who had not had time to contact the enemy, when they drew their swords and prepared to fight with the enemy, they found a problem, that is, their knights did not have shields.
The shield is a defensive equipment that can play a corresponding role in many cases. Considering the particularity of knight combat, Zhang Jiashi could not equip his knights with a phalanx shield used by heavy infantry, after all, this kind of shield is not like the game, but occupies a large degree of width.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi was more equipped with a Mongolian scimitar for himself, and an additional small round shield infused with molten iron.
The casting process of this small round shield is simpler than that of iron armor, because this small round shield is often nailed to shake hands, which requires a relatively high level of punching and repair technology.
The casting of the whole arc-shaped iron shield is mainly from the molten iron poured into the graphite mold made and polished, and when the molten iron is cooled, this small round shield can be basically formed.
Then, in many cases, these small round shields only need to be polished and the necessary corresponding technology to be used directly as equipment.
Although the casting method of the phalanx iron shield is similar, the width of the phalanx iron shield is very large, and the follow-up process to be poured out by the corresponding mold is quite complicated.
On the battlefield, the gap between such equipment can be largely reflected in the casualties of both sides.
......
The battle continued, and more and more knights between the two sides were wounded or even killed.
The large-scale melee between the knights is really because the casualties between the weapons are relatively small, and many times, the dead knight is trampled to death by the horses of both sides in the chaos after falling off the war horse.
And once the knight falls off the horse, as long as he is stepped on a few times by a group of war horses, it is estimated that he will end up with a lifelong disability if he does not die.
The round shields mounted by the knights of the Qin army can effectively defend against the attacks of the knights of the Chu army.
It's not that the defense effect of this small round shield is very good, on the contrary, the defense area of this small round shield is relatively small, and many times, once the Qin knights who use the small round shield can't react, the experienced Chu knights will attack the defensive gaps of these Qin knights.
Moreover, because of some shortcomings in the equipment of the Qin army knights, many Chu officers and soldiers targeted their attacks on the mounts of the Qin army knights.
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and the man shoots the horse first. Such a sentence is also quite applicable to the melee between these Chu army knights and the Qin army knights.
However, because the weapons of the Chu army are relatively long many times, once they are approached by the knights of the Qin army, before these knights of the Chu army can make the next attack, the scimitars of the knights of the Qin army will slash over, so that the plans of these knights of the Chu army will end with the attack of the knights of the Qin army.
......
However, for those who have the ability to easily destroy the round shields mounted by these Qin army knights, these small round shields are more of a useless thing.
Xiang Yu didn't care what kind of weapon the Qin army knight was in front of him, the equestrian skills were quite superb and in terms of human strength, Xiang Yu many times, before the Qin army knight he attacked reacted, he would cut the opponent with people and horses, and even sometimes, with the shield directly cut into several pieces.
On Xiang Yu's way forward, nearly a hundred Qin officers and soldiers had fallen in this section.
Of course, the tactical depth of the five thousand knights is not too generous, and the number of Qin officers and soldiers killed by nearly a hundred people is more after breaking through the barrier of the Qin army knights in a region, they turn around again and kill back to the area that is still in the melee, and continue to slaughter the Qin army knights.
Xiang Yu's actions made many Qin officers and soldiers gasp, and it was not that there were no Qin army knights who planned to besiege Xiang Yu and then solve this pervert, but it was a pity that even those five hundred masters could not escape under Xiang Yu's attack, and the siege of these Qin officers and soldiers was a joke in Xiang Yu's eyes.
"Come on, come on, come !!" Xiang Yu, who was riding on his own BMW black sui, roared loudly, and the two-moon halberd in his hand kept slashing or killing more and more Qin army knights with the sharp blade on the top of the halberd.
At this time, Xiang Yu hoped to be able to use his personal super combat strength to reverse the unfavorable situation of the entire battle.
But Xiang Yu miscalculated, because no matter how fast he killed the enemy, he was afraid that he would not be as efficient as the Qin army knights as a whole to kill the Chu army knights.
Xiang Yu and the Chu knights around him, who were getting smaller and smaller, of course, constantly attacked the back of the Qin knights in the other direction, causing these Qin knights who were flanked back and forth to pay heavy casualties.
It's just that the battle has reached such a point, and Xiang Yu doesn't seem to realize one point, that is, the knights of the Qin army, under the command of Zhang Wu, are gradually eating away at more and more knights of the Chu army.
At such a time, the two sides are more likely to compete with each other for the speed of casualties between the two sides.
However, just as football is a sport as a whole, there may be people like Maradona, but there is no doubt that Maradona will not be able to lead Napoli against the more co-ordinated Kaiserslautern at the top of his game.
And the current knights of the Qin army are like Xiang Yu, the strongest man in the world, who has to face, and pays more attention to the overall cooperation.
It's not that the Chu army knights don't know how to cooperate with each other. But there is no doubt that the knights of the Chu army, who have been weakened in many ways and whose physical exertion is getting bigger and bigger, are really difficult to hold on to the battle.
......
Zhang Wu looked at the other side of the battle area about five or six hundred meters away from him, he knew very well that place was very dangerous, but he had no way to directly lead the knights under his command to reinforce him, because the knights of the Chu army in front of him were still about two hundred people pestering him.
Zhang Wu was very angry in the face of such a situation, because he was unwilling to waste energy and time on these Chu officers and soldiers whose combat effectiveness had faded a lot, because compared to the lives of the enemy, Zhang Wu believed that the casualties under his command were too large, which would affect the results of his command this time, and thus affect Zhang Jiashi's opinion of him.
After taking a deep breath, he pointed the mid-handled glaive knife in his hand forward: "Kill all these enemies first, if the other party escapes, don't care about them too much!"
After hearing Zhang Wu's loud shout, the knights of the Chu army on the opposite side couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in their hearts, because many of them realized that it seemed that it was difficult for them to hold on for too long.
Under the command of a five-hundred-hundred-person commander named Fan Zheng, they finally repelled the onslaught of several Qin knights on them, but these Qin knights, who were about the same number as them, brought them more than half of the robes killed in battle or fell off their horses and died without knowing the price, and many of them were still alive, and many of them were bleeding, and some of their arms were even directly cut off by the scimitars of the Qin knights or other weapons.
And in their eyes, they subconsciously looked at the captain who had blood flowing from his arms and chest, and his lips were a little white, as if he was waiting for the other party's next order.
......
Fan Zheng, as one of the very few members of the Fan Zeng clan who continued to die for Western Chu after Fan Zeng's death, did not leave the Western Chu military because of Fan Zeng's death.
And the reason why he stayed was naturally not because of what kind of feelings he had for Xiang Yu, on the contrary, he was very resentful of Xiang Yu.
After all, since he is not a fool, and he is also not blind, how Fan Zeng, the wise man in the Fan clan and the elder they respect the most, died, he can see it very clearly.
He didn't stay for power, because in his heart, there was only one belief, and that was to avenge his friend.
His friend was Long Ji, and some time before Long Ji died in battle, they even agreed to have their next meeting and communication in Pengcheng.
His acquaintance with Long He can be said to be unfamiliar with each other, because Long He had a lot of complaints about the people of the Fan clan who entered the Chu army because of Fan Zeng at the beginning.
And because of this, Fan Zheng, who was originally considered to be relatively strong, naturally disobeyed Long and punished him for no reason at that time.
So they fought.
I have to say that Long Ji's strength is much stronger than him, but his strength has also greatly improved Long Ji's ability to the people of the Fan family, which in a sense, can be regarded as the beginning of the friendship between the two.
In the next few years, Fan Zheng often followed Long He to fight, and in a sense, if it weren't for Long Zheng's care for Fan Zheng, I am afraid that Fan Zheng, who was originally just a military commander, would have been difficult to do the position of five hundred knights in just a few years.
After Qin Chu's battle for Sanchuan County, the news of Long Ji's death reached Fan Zheng's ears, and he said incredulously: "This is impossible, how could General Long Ji die at the hands of Qin Dog?"
It's no wonder that Fan Zheng has such an idea, because Long Ji is the top master in the Chu army, second only to Xiang Yu in strength, Qin Gou doesn't pay a considerable price, and even can't move the dragon at all.
But Fan Zheng subconsciously ignored one point, that is, one thing that he himself knew very well, that is, Long Ji's arrogance.
Although Long Ji was a rare famous general in the troubled times at the end of Qin, he still ignored or thought that there were not many people in the Qin army who could fight with him.
It's a pity that Li Ji is indeed not his opponent, let alone Han Xin, whose own strength has never been strong.
But Han Xin didn't need to show his not too powerful force, but directly let the dragon die under the random arrows.
If Fan Zheng knew that his friend had met a hit nemesis, I don't know how he would feel?
As for Fan Zheng, who was currently injured and had a lot of physical strength and energy, he took a deep breath, and then roared at the remnants of his subordinates: "For the sake of Da Chu, kill Qin Gou!!"
