Chapter 703: The Longxi Cavalry Who Became Braver and Braver the More You Fight
「***!」 Zhang Hu glanced at Xiang Shou disdainfully, really when he was brain-dead, standing still, waiting for him to bump into him? He couldn't see the big shields as thick as the door panels, and the dense array of guns?
Even if he was really brain-dead, he couldn't just bump into it.
Of all the cavalry in the world, those who dare to directly impact the battle formation of the elite armored army in Guanzhong are the Youyun Iron Cavalry who are happy to ride.
The Praetorian Guard, as a military soul legion, would not dare to do so without Zhao Kuo's presence.
Because even if you can win, you will lose a lot.
War is not simply about winning or losing, but about winning the greatest at the lowest cost.
That's why Sun Tzu has that sentence: go to the army to fight and plan, then to fight and fight, and then to attack the city.
"Brothers, turn around and release the arrows!" Zhang Hu said loudly, and when he was more than a hundred steps away from the Guanzhong Jingjia Army, he suddenly turned around, crossed an arc, and rushed to the left in a direction parallel to the Guanzhong Jingjia Army, while shooting at the enemy.
"If you have the ability, come and chase Lao Tzu." Zhao Jun looked at Qin Jun who was standing in place and let out bursts of laughter.
Xiang Shou's cheeks were red, there was no problem with his response, it was impossible to watch Zhao Jun rush over, there was no reaction, if he waited for Zhao Jun to get close before setting up a big shield and gun array, it would be too late.
But Zhao Jun's ridicule made it a little difficult for him to raise his head, feeling that he had done something wrong.
"General, shall we chase?" The lieutenant looked at Xiang Shou.
Xiang Shou gave him a look at an idiot, chasing? What do you take with two legs to chase people with six legs?
"Withdraw, go and attack the Zhao army's infantry." A fierce look flashed in Xiang Shou's eyes, the cavalry could run, but the infantry of the Zhao army was still there.
He wanted to see if the cavalry could still laugh when all the infantry of the Zhao army were killed.
Zhang Hu rode on a war horse and quickly judged the situation on the battlefield, at this time the Zhao army had been completely defeated, the number of the Qin army was three times that of the Zhao army, and the Iron Eagle Ruishi was the front, which made it difficult for the Zhao army to resist.
When the Guanzhong Jingjia Army joins, the rout of the Zhao army will be faster.
If there were no Iron Eagle Ruishi and Guanzhong Elite Army, even if the Qin army was three times the size of the Zhao army, it would not be possible to complete the encirclement, the Zhao army as a whole was more elite than the Qin army, and this was a plain.
But the Iron Eagle Warrior upset the balance between the two sides.
Although Zhang Hu was not a famous general, he was also a high-achieving student who had studied at Handan College for several years, had read the art of war, and had participated in many wars, so he understood that the top priority was not how to defeat the Qin army, but to save as much of the Zhao army as possible to retreat.
"A few of you, give this letter to the king at once, and say that our army has been defeated and is in urgent need of support." Zhang Hu thought for a moment, took out the pen and ink from the horse bag, quickly recorded the battlefield situation, the deployment of the Qin army, as well as the commander and the main generals, handed them over to the guards, and ordered them to be handed over to Zhao Kuo as soon as possible.
Then, Zhang Hu led thousands of cavalry to run around the entire battlefield, not rushing into battle, but just kept shooting arrows at the Qin army, looking for an opportunity.
As long as he was still there, the Qin army would have to distract some of its energy to guard against him, and would not dare to attack with all its might.
Ju Xin constantly commanded the army to shrink the formation, and at the same time withdrew the wounded soldiers, allowing the uninjured soldiers to go up.
But every time, the Iron Eagle Ruishi would seize the opportunity and increase the intensity of the attack, causing a large number of casualties to the Zhao army.
Zhao Jun fought and retreated, the ground was completely stained red with blood, and his feet seemed to be stepping on a pool of blood, which made people a little unable to take a step.
The smile on Qin Jun's face gradually became rampant, and they had already seen the scene of the annihilation of Zhao Jun's army.
"Poof!"
An Iron Eagle Sharps suddenly appeared in front of Ji Xin, a large piece of flesh flew out of his shoulder, and Ji Xin endured the pain and slashed the Iron Eagle Sharps.
Lou Fujun's body was already stained red with blood, his armor had turned into a beggar's suit, and there was a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken.
The ordinary soldiers still have the opportunity to rotate, but they can only stay at the front.
If it weren't for them to attract most of the firepower of the Iron Eagle Warriors, Zhao Jun would have been unable to bear it now.
"General, I didn't
Arrows!" Two quarters of an hour later, a cavalryman suddenly spoke.
"We're running out of arrows." The other cavalrymen also spoke.
Zhang Hu stretched out his hand to touch the quiver, but he felt empty, sighed deeply, and slowly took out the scimitar, and Zhao Jun behind him saw this, seemed to understand something, and then took out the scimitar from the horse bag.
"Kill!" Zhang Hu swung his long knife forward, roared angrily, and led the Zhao army to rush towards the Qin army.
"Kill!" All the Zhao troops behind him also suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the Qin army.
The war has been fought so far, whether it is physical strength or spirit, the Qin army is no longer at its peak, Zhang Hu is aiming at the weakest point of the Qin army, and the cavalry that rushed up instantly stabbed into the body of the Qin army like a sharp dagger.
Countless blood flowers bloomed, and the Qin army kept falling to the ground under the impact of the cavalry, and was trampled into flesh.
"Withdraw!" Ju Xin seized the opportunity, quickly gathered thousands of remnants, and withdrew towards the place where Zhang Hu attacked.
Wei Ran constantly commanded the surrounding Qin army to besiege the Zhao army, Zhang Hu took the lead, the internal qi continued to pour out from his body, the strength of the peak of the Gangyuan Realm, the Qin army was rarely his opponent, except for the transcendent realm martial artists, no one could leave him.
"Qin people, all of them are going to die!" The more Zhang Hu killed, the more crazy he became, waving his hands constantly, cutting Qin Jun in half with a single sword, and yelling in his mouth, "Kill!"
"Kill it!" All the Zhao troops shouted, and they were surrounded by the Qin army and went outside.
The cavalry rushed ahead, and the infantry followed.
It wasn't until a certain moment that Zhang Hu suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he slashed the air with a big knife, and then he realized that he had killed it.
However, the Zhao army was not out of danger, and after the Qin army found that it was impossible to contain the cavalry, it quickly reversed its tactics and re-encircled the infantry.
Wei Ran's face was a little unpleasant, Zhao Jun's will to fight was too strong, and he would rather die than surrender. The war has been fought so far, in fact, the losses of the Qin army are not much less than those of the Zhao army, if you remove the number of enemies killed by the Iron Eagle Ruishi and the Guanzhong Jingjia Army, there is no obvious difference in the losses of the two sides.
But the Qin army was three times larger than the Zhao army.
This means that the main force of the Zhao army can beat three times the main force of the Qin army.
The difference in strength between the two sides cannot be so big, but since the war, the Zhao army has always enjoyed the best treatment, and morale has never been low.
On the other hand, the morale of the Qin army was constantly hit. For a long time, I didn't even feel at ease when I slept at night, either worried about the sudden rain of arrows falling from the sky, or worried about the Zhao army attacking.
The fact that the King of Qin attacked and killed Zhao Kuo did not succeed made the Qin army feel extremely embarrassed, and the treatment of the soldiers on both sides made the ordinary soldiers unable to balance their hearts, and even deserters appeared.
Although all these things did not cause too many casualties, they effectively dealt a blow to the morale of the Qin army and reduced the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.
"It seems that the city will not be able to hold on for long." Wei Ran sighed in his heart.
They originally planned to weaken the strength of the Zhao army by constantly bleeding the Zhao army, and finally turn the tide of the war.
But Sima Jin's entire army was annihilated, leaving them without prerequisites.
Tough on the ground, Qin Jun is no longer Zhao Jun's opponent.
On the other side, seeing that Qin Kai divided half of his troops, Wang Jian no longer hesitated, and immediately led the Longxi cavalry to rush up, Qin Kai did not avoid the battle, and led the Zhao army to meet it.
The speed of the two sides continued to increase, and after the distance was closer, they opened their bows and shot arrows at the same time, and as soon as the three waves of arrows rained down, both sides exchanged knives at the same time.
At almost the limit of speed, the two sides collided together, between the lightning and flint, blood splashed, countless cavalry fell from their horses, and were trampled into flesh by the rushing war horses.
The blood on the Longxi cavalry became rich, and even the war horses under their crotches were shrouded in red.
"Kill!" Wang Jian felt that the strength of the Longxi cavalry was getting stronger, and he was very happy in his heart, and rushed towards the Zhao army again.
The two sides chiseled each other three times in a row, and the battle loss ratio of the Longxi cavalry has been leveled with that of the Zhao army.
At this moment, the aura exuded by the Longxi cavalry even surpassed that of Zhao Jun.
"Terrible growth, but unfortunately its own strength is too weak, and it takes nearly half of the people to reach the top every time
peaks." Qin Kai looked at the Longxi cavalry and whispered.
The foundation of the Longxi cavalry was average, resulting in the loss of many soldiers every time they fought with the Zhao army, so that they could improve their strength to a level similar to that of the Zhao army.
Except for rare cases like today, most of the time, the Zhao army could have retreated before the strength of the Longxi cavalry reached its peak, without giving the Qin army a chance to play.
This led to the fact that every time the Longxi cavalry fought, they would lose a large number of soldiers, but they could not play the corresponding effect.
No country can afford such losses in cavalry, not to mention Qin, even Zhao can't afford it.
This also led to the fact that the scale of the Qin cavalry could not rise, and it was even embarrassed to the point of borrowing troops from the Qiang people.
The smile on Wang Qian's face did not become brighter because of the improvement of the strength of the Longxi cavalry, but disappeared without a trace, and he also thought of the problem that Qin Kai thought of.
When the cavalry was first trained, the enemy they faced was the Qiang cavalry, and the Hebei cavalry were completely different concepts, so that no one thought about this problem.
Now the problem has arisen, but how to solve it has become a problem.
Even if Wang Jian is amazingly talented, he can't think of a way in such a short time.
"Kill!" After a while, Wang Jian put all his thoughts behind him, and once again led the Longxi cavalry towards the Zhao army, the top priority was to defeat the Zhao army, as for improving the strength of the Longxi cavalry, we will talk about it later.
The two armies fought together again, and this time, the Zhao army fell more than the Qin army.
Both sides stopped, both men and horses gasped, their bodies were stained red with blood, and almost everyone in the Zhao army was injured.
Qin Jun's rich evil aura almost condensed into substance, and looked at Zhao Jun murderously, Zhao Jun threw the scimitar full of gaps to the ground, took out the brand-new scimitar from the horse bag again, and looked firmly at the majestic figure in front of him.
They were waiting for the final order.
"General Qin Kai, this monarch is ordered by the king to lead an army to support." At this moment, a loud sound was heard in the distance, like thunder rolling in the sky.
He Zongjun was worried that the Zhao army would not be able to support it, and in order to boost the morale of the Zhao army, he had not yet arrived at the battlefield, so he plucked up his internal strength and shouted loudly.
"Our reinforcements are coming!" Zhao Jun shouted excitedly, his dry body was instantly filled with strength, and he struggled towards the Qin army.
"Thank you, Sect He." Qin Kai finally put his mind at ease, and a smile bloomed on his old face.
"The king is behind, coming soon. Just now, we fought with Bai Qi and completely annihilated the Qin Guofei Lian Army, and many legions were damaged, so it was a little slower. It's a pity that I still let Bai Qi run, and Bai Qi is a loach, so I can't catch it." He Zongjun said loudly.
Zhao Kuo did not come, but Tian Dan and Li Si did lead the army behind, and Li Si taught him these words.
When Wei Ran heard this, his face changed instantly, he didn't know if what He Zongjun said was true or false, but he knew the power of these words on Qin Jun.
Sure enough, as soon as He Zongjun's voice fell, half of the Qin army's morale plummeted, and the other half was not because of his firm mind, but because of the noisy voices on the battlefield, and he didn't hear what He Zongjun said.
"Herald...... Withdraw!" Wei Ran looked at the last remnants of Zhao Jun's less than 3,000 foot soldiers, his hands clenched into fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and red blood oozed from his palms, dripping to the ground along the joints.
"General!" The surrounding generals were all unwilling, and in two quarters of an hour at most, they would be able to wipe out the remaining Zhao army.
"Withdraw." Wei Ran ordered again, the reinforcements of the Zhao State had arrived, and it was impossible for them to completely annihilate the foot soldiers of the Zhao army, and if they did not leave, the Qin army might fall into danger.
"Withdraw!" After receiving the order, Xin Wu and Xiang Shou and other generals glanced at the Zhao army unwillingly, and led the Zhao army to retreat one after another.
When Zhao Jun saw the retreat of the Qin army, he erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and they supported each other and watched the Qin army leave.
They did not pursue, because there was no strength left.
The still alive military doctor quickly walked out of the rear with a medicine box to treat the wounded.
In times of war, military doctors are the key protection
Protecting the object, everyone tried their best not to let the military doctor get hurt. Everyone knows that as long as the military doctor is still around, they are equivalent to half a life over.
However, because the war was too fierce, the military doctors could not avoid dying on the battlefield.
"It's too late!" After seeing Qin Kai, He Zongjun did not continue to call himself Benjun, but changed to the last general.
Qin Kai is not famous in the Central Plains, and he can't be compared with many generals, because the Central Plains don't take Rong Di as a person, and if he defeats Rong Di, there is nothing to brag about if he expands his land for 2,000 miles.
But He Zongjun was born in Rong Di, and what he was most afraid of was a ruthless person like Qin Kai who specialized in fighting Rong Di, even if the other party had just experienced a big defeat, he did not dare to despise it in the slightest.
"You're just in time." Qin Kai saluted to Hezong Jun gratefully, if the other party was a little later, there would not be many people left in the Zhao army, whether it was cavalry or infantry. "I also ask the general to be in charge of guarding the surroundings and helping to clean up the battlefield."
"It's all as it should be." He Zongjun said, with a wave of his left hand, the cavalry behind him scattered out and went to the surrounding guards, while the other part dismounted to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses of the Zhao army who died in battle.
It is impossible to transport the corpse back to Zhao, so it can only be burned, put the ashes in a box, sent back to Zhao, and put into the Valhalla for the whole country to sacrifice.
The Qin army did not launch a second raid.
After some time, Tian Dan led the rear army to arrive, bringing a large number of doctors to treat all the wounded.
