Battle of Changping Chapter 072 Exploring the Military Intelligence Zhao Cavalry fled south

Shoot with a bow.

Coherent.

The scouts are worthy of the elite of the cavalry of the Zhao army, and the tun commander is even more brave and resolute. Like a conditioned reflex, the moment he saw the Qin army behind him, the scout commander had already reacted.

"Whoosh" three times, the tun chief actually fired three arrows in a row.

There were three dull sounds of falling to the ground, and at the same time, the Zhao army scouts beside the tun chief also reflected, either sideways or lying on their backs, and the bows and arrows in their hands were immediately full.

Gengen's sharp arrows broke through the air again and attacked the Qin army that followed them.

The sharp arrows either pierced the neck, or shot the eye, or hit the forehead, all of them went straight to the Qin army's life, and the power of the Zhao army's scout elite can be seen.

Immediately, only a few sounds of objects falling to the ground were heard, and the Qin army, who was rushing to the front, didn't even have time to wail a few times, and was knocked to the ground by the superb riding and archery skills of the Zhao army scouts, and could no longer move.

However, one wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

The Zhao army scouted the commander, tilted his head slightly, and swept away, although there was no Qin army following near the rear, the Qin army in the rear was still accelerating towards his own side.

Turning his head, Tun Changfu looked ahead again, only to see that the soldiers had gone down the hills to the plains.

"Points!" Without the slightest hesitation, the tun chief yelled.

Immediately, the originally neat goose-shaped array immediately split into two and rushed towards the southeast and southwest.

Seeing that the Zhao army was about to divide his troops, the captain of the Qin military decisively ordered a bow and arrow suppression, trying to force the Zhao army to return to one place with a rain of arrows.

The rain of arrows hit the sky, and the horsemen of the Zhao army's scout camp also fell to the ground immediately, but because of the distance, more arrow rain fell behind the Zhao army's cavalry, and they were stunned and inserted into the soil.

Although the Zhao army lost several combat forces, the will to divide the troops was not shaken in the slightest, and under the pressure of the Qin army, the Zhao army successfully split into two. Without waiting for the Qin army to make corresponding adjustments again, the cavalry of the Zhao army, which was divided into two parts, divided into more than ten roads and ran south.

Seeing this, Captain Qin couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

He knew that the other party's division of troops in this way was tantamount to self-destruction. The most taboo thing about cavalry fighting on the plains is the division of troops.

In the process of high-speed movement, the resistance of the air is no longer negligible, especially in the position of the spearhead, which will bear the most wind resistance and the most likely to consume physical strength. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly have people in the position of the arrow during the march to ensure that the army always maintains the fastest speed. (For details, please refer to the movie "The Wind Breaker")

Once the troops are divided, especially when they are assigned to the unit, not only can they not maintain a high-speed rotation due to the factor of wind resistance, but even with the decline of personal physical strength, the arrow will soon lose the ability to attack after losing its accuracy. (A high-density rain of arrows can ignore the problem of accuracy).

It can be said that this order of Commander Zhao Juntun is tantamount to sending most of the soldiers under his command directly to a dead end, and even nine out of ten soldiers will die on the way to escape.

However, there are also advantages to this, the only advantage - because the soldiers are divided into many ways, and the personal ideas are strange, there will be 12 out of 11 people who will escape the pursuit.

And the lucky one of the eleven and the twelfth is what the head of Zhao Juntun wants, and even as the head of the whole tun palace, he doesn't care that the eleven and the twelve will not have any hope of their own.

The ruthlessness of his heart, the firmness of his faith, the fruit of his life, and the speed of his actions all made the captain of the Qin military academy mourn.

Although he knew that it was impossible to completely annihilate this group of Zhao army scouts, the captain of the Qin army did not give up because of this: the Zhao army can be so resolute in the face of a desperate situation, and the soldiers of our Qin army will not give in in the face of impossibility.

Immediately, the captain of the Qin military academy also immediately adjusted, played the flag language, and ordered his subordinates to pursue separately.

It's just that the Qin army has a lot of soldiers, and although the order to divide the troops is fast, it is not as fast as the Zhao army. Under an order, even the most elite army will inevitably need to react to one or two, and this delay of one or two minutes will immediately become a dozen steps on the battlefield. And this distance of more than ten steps also became an opportunity for Zhao Jun to escape.

The Qin army on this side began to divide and pursue, and the Zhao army on that side changed its formation again, and even the minimum "army" was not needed, and dozens of people scattered and fled in dozens of directions.

And with the disbandment of the team, Zhao Jun also completely fell into the sequence of "fleeing".

The dry food and banners were left behind for the first time, and then, the longbow and arrows were also broken and thrown to the road, and then, the iron armor and the hat and helmet were also thrown aside, and finally, even the long knife in his hand was ruthlessly thrown away by Zhao Jun.

In horse warfare, especially in pursuit, bows and arrows are obviously more important than long knives, and they are also more commonly used weapons for self-defense. But in the end, more soldiers still use the long knife as their most intimate weapon, and it is also the last guarantee.

And with the discarding of the long knife, it also obviously means that Zhao Jun has completely given up all possibilities of resistance. And the purpose of this can only be one: to do everything possible to lighten the weight of the horses, in order to be able to escape from the pursuit of the Qin army.

Of course, even in the midst of a losing battle, it is rare to lose such armor and even a life-saving long knife. If it weren't even for the fact that their direction had been heading south towards the Zhao army's camp, they would have thought that they were going to flee from the battlefield completely.

Although the Qin army was a little surprised by the Zhao army's move of "throwing away the armor", it also had a certain psychological preparation for their complete division of troops and escape, and immediately, the Qin army also divided its troops again.

The clatter of horses' hooves echoed incessantly across the plains.

In front of it was the single horse of the Zhao army dancing wildly with the long whip in his hand, and behind it was dozens or even dozens of Qin troops chasing after him, and occasionally a few arrows attacked.

No matter how much Zhao Jun's soldiers struggled and were more ruthless, they could not withstand the law of nature - when manpower will eventually run out.

With the passage of time, under the obstruction of the wind, the Zhao army that fled in front of him, either because of the horse's lack of physical strength, or after a long time of concentration, he couldn't help but be a little negligent, and finally gradually fell into the disadvantage.

The Qin army behind was still in hot pursuit, and from time to time there were Zhao army scouts who died under the Qin army's arrows, and the Qin army, which had completed its own pursuit mission, chased after the nearby Zhao army with a slight puff of the horse's head.

There were chasing soldiers in the back, intercepting before and after, and the result of Sergeant Zhao can be imagined. Like dominoes, with the fall of the first Zhao pawn, more and more Zhao pawns were besieged and killed.

Four hooves are fighting, new mud splashes,

The rain of arrows is urgent, and the cold is a little bit,

Suddenly, the blood is sprinkled in the blue sky,

Left, a touch of bright red, between heaven and earth.
