The order was laid, and the sound of drums changed in the coalition front, and then the sound of whimpering trumpets became more rapid and desolate.

"Second and third sons, follow me!" Zhou Qi, who was in charge of the cavalry of the Zhao army, shouted loudly, and rushed out from the right side of the coalition army with the cavalry behind him, and almost at the same time, the cavalry of the Zhao army on the left also made the same reaction.

In an instant, a thunderous sound resounded throughout the battlefield. It is worth mentioning that among the cavalry of the Zhao army, there are still a few Hu cavalry, although they are also wearing the armor of the Zhao army, but if you look closely at its appearance, it is not difficult to see the difference between it and the Zhao people.

The biggest difference is the size of the Hu people, which is shorter than the surrounding Zhao cavalry.

"One Han to Five Hu" is not only about the gap in weapons and equipment, but also reflected in physical fitness, don't think that the Hu people at that time would be the Hu people when the Mongol Empire was established, and the Hu people at that time were thinner than the people in the Central Plains.

That's it, and they are already centurions and above among the Hu people. The reason why these hundred-hundred-hundred-man centurions were filled into the queue of the Zhao army was to let them feel the power of the Zhao army's cavalry, and secondly, to teach them how to rush into battle.

Because in addition to the charge of this battle, Lian Po was not prepared to consume his precious cavalry, and it was only a matter of time before he replaced the Hu people, so the necessary instructions still had to be learned by them.

The movements on the side of the coalition forces were soon discovered by the Qin army. Even when the horn suddenly changed in the coalition army, Wang Yi, who was observing the battle situation from the high platform of the Chinese army, already knew that it was not good.

It's just that, even though he had expected it, Wang Ji did not immediately mobilize the cavalry as usual and prepare to intercept the cavalry of the coalition army.

Of course, this is not that Wang Di was afraid of the cavalry of the Zhao army, on the contrary, Wang Di, who had been a strong soldier for a long time, had long wanted to fight with the cavalry of the Zhao army, after all, the cavalry of the Qin State was suppressed by the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping, and Wang Yi naturally wanted to get this field back.

It's just that in the face of the enemy's prepared army of more than 200,000 troops, especially looking at the rather strict appearance of the coalition army and the battle that has not fallen for more than an hour, Wang Yi actually knows very well in his heart that it is impossible to distinguish the winner in today's battle in such a large-scale corps battle.

Since it is destined that there will be no results today, the purpose of this operation must be changed. Since you can't defeat the coalition army, then you can treat it as a refining general, and refining Meng Fu as a general can be regarded as a success.

From this point of view, it is clear that the results of this battle have begun to bear fruit. On the battlefield, Meng Fu's command can be said to be more and more convenient, from being controlled by others everywhere, to being able to make up in time, and then to launching a counteroffensive in a timely manner, although many of them rely on the courage of the Qin army's officers and soldiers, but it is undeniable that Meng Fu's command art has been improving - making great progress.

The battlefield is indeed the best classroom. And in the face of the increase in the coalition forces, this is obviously also a huge test.

It will be a test of whether Meng Fu can perceive the changes of the enemy army in time, and whether Meng Fu can keep a clear head and make the best response in the face of sudden changes.

Wang Yu had already told Meng Fu that he would be in full command of this war, and he would not interfere in command unless it was absolutely necessary.

In the face of changes on the battlefield, Meng Fu must learn to recognize, face and then deal with them. Fortunately, Meng Fu is Meng Fu in the end, and he has lived up to Wang Di's expectations.

This is also very normal, otherwise he would not be able to become a veteran of the three dynasties of the Qin State, let alone have descendants like Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

Just as the muffled thunder came, Meng Fu had already accurately predicted that the coalition army was probably calling for reinforcements because the front army was in a hurry.

Looking at the black line that was already looming, Meng Fu did not feel panicked at all, and his mind was running rapidly: to deal with the cavalry, maybe it would be a plan to form a circle formation of spears and long shields, but obviously on this battlefield where every second counts, the plan of forming a circle formation to block the attack will definitely not work.

Well, it's simpler. Since the infantry is too late, then use the cavalry to fight!

"Order: 20,000 cavalry of the Chinese army, divided into two roads, left and right, to intercept the invading Zhao cavalry." Meng Fu quickly conveyed the order.

Immediately, the sound of the Qin army's horn also changed, and then 20,000 cavalry heard the order and went straight in the direction of the Zhao army.

Listening to the change in the sound of the horn, Wang Yu on the high platform of the Chinese army finally put his mind at ease, if after the tea, Meng Fu has not given an order, he may have to take action.

His move was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Meng's confidence. Fortunately, Meng Fu still withstood the pressure and responded in a timely manner.

Of course, from Wang Di's point of view, Meng Fu's reaction was already slow. Because a good general, according to the sound of the enemy's drums and horns, and the change in rhythm, should be able to roughly judge the next move of the enemy, so as to take precautions.

Wait for the enemy to make the first move, or the move has appeared, before you can block, even if you block it well, I am afraid that you will inevitably fall into passivity, at least you will lose your previous advantage.

However, considering that this is the first time that Meng Fu has organized such a large-scale operation, it is already very good to be able to see the moves, as for the enemy's first opportunity, take your time!

Sure enough, as Wang Yi expected, the cavalry army of Zhao arrived on the battlefield earlier than the cavalry of the Qin army because of the first start, and then the cavalry of the Zhao army did not directly rush into the Qin army's front, but launched a brutal battle on the periphery of the Qin army's front

"Left shot right, right shot left" shot. Because almost all of the Qin army's shields were defending against the bows and crossbows of the frontal coalition forces, there was no time to adjust them for a while, and in just such a short period of effort, the Qin army suffered heavy losses.

When the soldiers of the Qin army panicked and wanted to adjust the direction of their shields to block the arrows coming from the left and right, the combined forces of Wei, Han, and Chu in front of them also immediately fired a large number of arrows at the Qin army front.

In an instant, the Qin army was harvested again. In just these two rounds of arrow rain, no less than a thousand people in the Qin army fell in a pool of blood, and countless people were injured.

Obviously, such a situation once again exposes the fact that Meng Fu's command is slightly immature. Even with the courage of the Qin army, it really can't withstand such a three-sided blow!

Helplessly, their own cavalry has not yet arrived, and apart from being passively beaten, the Qin army has almost no means.

If you are an experienced veteran, if you are too late to send troops, you will definitely send orders to the front line, increase the shields on the left and right sides, and shrink the front as much as possible.

Of course, it is too late to shrink the line of defense now. Because, the appearance of the cavalry has caused the vacillation of the military spirit, and now it is shrinking, and if it is not good, the military spirit will completely collapse, even if it does not collapse, under the psychological influence of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, if you give the order to take three steps back, I am afraid that when you get to the battlefield, it will be three major steps, or even five steps directly.

Such a retreat is simply a nightmare for the army that is in the midst of a fierce battle. What's more, the other party already knows that their reinforcements have arrived, and your reinforcements have not arrived, so if you retreat at this time, do you guess what the enemy on the opposite side will do?

Therefore, there was no way, the Qin army could only withstand the rain of arrows on three sides and resist the counterattack of the coalition forces to the death.

The good news is that the cavalry of the Qin army arrived at the battle line quickly, and then the cavalry of the Zhao State on the left and right sides of the battlefield had no choice but to fight with the cavalry of the Qin army, and the central infantry group was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The bad news is that in just this short period of time, the coalition forces have not only regained the points they had just lost, but have even re-put pressure on the Qin army.

It can be said that Lian Po only used 20,000 cavalry to turn the entire battlefield around.

One will be able to see the general. Of course, Wang Yi is not unacceptable to such a situation.

After all, this loss is nothing at all for the Qin army, which has an army of more than 200,000 troops, as long as Meng Fu can learn a lesson and sublimate from it, it will be enough.

What's more, on the whole, the whole battle, from backward to leading and then backward, whether it was the Qin army or the coalition army, the casualties of each other were only a millimeter difference, and there was no victory or defeat at all.

And from Lian Po's point of view, the goal he wants to achieve has obviously been achieved. The first is to let several generals of the coalition army really see the strength of the Qin army, and dare not take it lightly on the one hand, and more importantly, after this battle, no one should oppose the king again

The strategy of "hardening the village and fighting a dumb battle" has passed. The second is his own cavalry troops, which can be regarded as showing their appearance, and also giving a sample to the cavalry of the Hu people, and in the rest of the battle, they can do their best without contribution.

Of course, the generals of Wei, Han, and Chu were equally satisfied, including Xinlingjun. In any case, the advantage of this battle is still in the hands of the coalition forces after all, and with the blessing of some brushwork, the battle report of the victory in the first battle has been rehearsed in my mind, and it can be regarded as an explanation for the country.

Although no one said that they must win the first battle, everyone also knew that if they did not win the first battle, the subsequent battle would probably be difficult to fight, and even if they didn't know when, their king would order their own class to return to the court.

However, fortunately, the first battle has been won. At least in the short term, the imperial courts of all countries will not let go of this hard-won opportunity to weaken Qin.

So, after nearly two and a half hours of fierce fighting, it seems that everyone has got the result they wanted.

Oh, except for General Meng Fu on the front line of the Qin army! Realizing that he had made a mistake, he was under tremendous pressure and constantly tried to counterattack the coalition front with short assaults.

It's a pity that because of the harassment of the cavalry of the Zhao army from time to time, Meng's efforts have had little effect. Obviously, Meng Fu is not reconciled.

It's just that his unwillingness is not within everyone's consideration at all. Looking at the moon that was already hanging high above his head, Lian Po immediately summoned the herald and said, "Please tell me Lingjun, whether Ming Jin will withdraw the troops, it will be disadvantageous to our army for a long time." ”

"Yes." The herald immediately agreed, then turned his horse's head and headed towards the high platform of the Chinese army. It's just that before the herald came to the high platform, the sound of Mingjin was already heard.

It was not that Xinlingjun did the gold ringing without consulting with Lian Po, but that the sound of the Qin army's gold came to his ears.

The herald then jumped off his horse and came to Xin Lingjun in three steps and two steps, briefly explaining General Lian Po's intentions.

Xinlingjun listened to the sound of the Qin army's singing gold that kept echoing in his ears, and he didn't hesitate at all, so he ordered: "Order, Mingjin retreats." ”

"Yes!" All the soldiers agreed in unison......
