Battle of Changping Chapter 094 The light cavalry arrived and the Qin army was in a hurry
Of course, in fact, the Qin army doesn't have to worry too much about these at all, after all, the battle armor can be put on again, but the combat power will not be increased because of a battle armor. After all, no matter how good a weapon is, it needs corresponding tactics to exert its maximum power. Obviously, the subsequent cavalry of the Zhao army did not have much real contact with the tactical tactics of the elite cavalry.
But even so, with the successive deaths of the ballista and the elite cavalry of the Zhao army, it would still make the Qin army fall into panic and passivity.
Of course, Yingyi, who was already approaching the battlefield, understood this truth, and even more knew that the Zhao army had already made a dead hand, and if it continued like this, the Qin army would inevitably be broken by the Zhao army, and he would have to fight hard!
"The order is that the crossbow launch gap will be charged by the light cavalry, blocking the way for the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army."
"No!"
What does it mean? After the crossbow was fired, the light cavalry immediately went up and used a suicidal charge to slow down the impact of the elite cavalry of the Zhao army until they completely stopped!
Sounds simple and beautiful, isn't it! Light cavalry for elite cavalry, blood is not a loss!
But if you imagine that you have to use your own flesh and blood to withstand a speeding car, you understand the problem.
Not one for one, not three for one, but five for one, or even ten for one!
When the captain of the Qin military academy received the order, he was also obviously stunned, and the light cavalry hit the elite cavalry, isn't this looking for death!
But apparently, this is not funny, but a real order to exchange the lives of soldiers for the lives of ballistas.
Then there was nothing more to say, and the Prancing Horse took the lead, and the lieutenant immediately led his cavalry to escort the crossbow.
"Buzz!" The crossbow roared in his rage.
"First team!" Almost at the same time, the lieutenant gave the order.
Almost at the same time as the crossbow roared, a group of light cavalry had already roared out, and the elite armored cavalry facing the Zhao army rushed forward!
The crossbow shot a heavy horseman, and the heavy cavalry behind him rushed up again, where would the elite armored cavalry who dodged the crossbow look at the oncoming light cavalry!
"Bump, bump, bump ......" easily hit a few light riders.
But under the pain of the war horse, the speed can't help but slow down, and the speed of the armored cavalry needs to slow down, and the magic power is less than half, Rao can resist a few more knives, and he can't stand up to the light cavalry of others, and he has cut down a few, and he is also seriously injured.
Ants bite elephants to death, that's what they say!
What's even more dangerous is that the Qin army's crossbow soldiers are racing against time to get back wound!
After a while, a group of Qin army light cavalry was either weakened or killed, and it had already dissipated into invisibility, but it was also at this time that the sound of "buzzing" was heard, and the elite cavalry of the Zhao army slowly fell.
Qin Jun's crossbow is once again powerful!
Before Zhao Jun could react, another group of light cavalry in the Qin army followed the footsteps of the crossbow arrows and rushed towards the ranks of the elite armored cavalry of the Zhao army.
This was repeated several times, and although the elite cavalry of the Zhao army suffered heavy losses, the crossbows of the Qin army were also preserved. It seems that the Qin army has taken a big advantage, but in fact, the two armies are still in the game, and even the Zhao army has taken advantage of it slightly.
After all, Zhao Jun is still happy to accept such an exchange, after all, the opponent used five times or even ten times his own losses in exchange for his own elite cavalry, two thousand elite cavalry, in exchange for his 20,000 light cavalry, no loss!
And now the Qin army's strength advantage, also in a day of fierce battles, between a burst of tribulation, dissipated almost, once the Qin army's strength advantage is gone, even the Zhao army's strength advantage, even if the Qin army has a ballista, it is impossible to deal with their own light cavalry, after all, the wind is not a bulky ballista can be stopped, and the surrounding flat terrain is really conducive to the Zhao army's light cavalry tactics.
Soon, the captains of the Qin army obviously saw this problem, exchanging light cavalry for elite cavalry, two for one, three for one can be accepted, but five for one, plus the accidental injury of their own crossbow arrows, even to the point of ten for one, it is really a little unacceptable!
However, what can be done if you can't accept it?
Speed up the change of arrows?
The brethren of the crossbow have already used all their strength to feed, and the personnel have also rotated one shift, but this thing can only be done at the earliest.
It seems that everything is stuck in a dead loop, but the Qin army deserves to be the strongest army in the world.
There was no way to go in the direction of the ballista, and the captains were even more at a loss, but the cavalry at the bottom of the Qin army came up with a way - didn't it mean that the light cavalry went up or rested, and they were extremely easy to be killed one by one?
It was nothing more than to stop Zhao Jun's horse speed.
Okay, I'll just get you a big one!
Directly three horses tied together, the weight is not enough, then each cavalry carries a big stone in his arms, no stone? Hold the corpse, tie the corpse and rush!
Let's not start next to the crossbow, but back a little to give the horses room to accelerate!
As a result, the law of conservation of momentum, which could only be understood in the West hundreds of years later, was applied to practice by a few illiterate light cavalry at the bottom of the Qin army on the Changping battlefield in 260 BC.
Tethering horses together, adding stones and carcasses, is adding weight to the whole;
If you make room for acceleration, you are increasing the overall speed;
The MV multiplies the momentum, mass and speed of both the increase, and the momentum will not come up, and the elite cavalry of the Zhao army relies on nothing more than the impulse converted into huge momentum!
In this way, the Qin army really used this native method to restrain the elite cavalry troops of the Zhao army.
Of course, such a local method is not perfect, and it can even be said that it is full of loopholes.
One is the problem of self-protection, the two armies collide, both of them carry a huge impulse, Zhao Jun's side still has fine armor to resist one or two, but the Qin army's side does rely purely on the flesh to resist, can this thousand catties of huge strength be resisted by the body? Immediately, it was a broken bone and tendon.
It's just that this Qin army itself is determined to die, which can reduce its own losses and achieve the goal of containing the Zhao army, which is enough.
The second is that although the Qin army's binding greatly increases the weight and power of the impact, it also loses almost all of the mobility - two war horses are fine, but it is almost impossible to control three galloping war horses.
Although the elite cavalry of the Zhao army is also not good at swinging left and right, it is obviously much better than the big man of the Qin army, so after a few lessons, the Zhao army can quickly dodge the rampage big man by slightly adjusting the direction and pace.
But no matter what, the soldiers of the Qin army still relied on their genius ideas to buy more time and a chance to survive for the ballista and robe behind them.
