Chapter 577: The main direction of attack is in the south
Soon the army of Qin State was outside the camp of the coalition army, and before the battle on this side began, the cavalry of Qin State fought with the cavalry of Zhao State first.
Outside the Zhao camp, Lian Po had already completed the formation with his cavalry, and when he saw the Qin army attacking, there was no nonsense, the sword was unsheathed, and he pointed to the sky, and a thousand horses came out.
"Attack!" Lian Po shouted.
In the shout, tens of thousands of elite cavalry of the Zhao army stormed towards the flank of the Qin army.
In the queue of the Qin army, it seemed that this had been expected for a long time, and tens of thousands of cavalry immediately broke away from the main formation and rushed forward to meet the cavalry of the Zhao army.
Between heaven and earth, the torrent of black and red, stepping on the glory of the morning light, rushed towards each other!
Cavalry battles, there is never such a thing as defense.
The rain of arrows in the sky was the first round of confrontation with each other, the Qin army had stronger crossbow arrows, and the Zhao army had better equestrian skills.
As the two sides got closer, the rain of arrows thinned out, and the danger grew exponentially.
There was no suspense, and in the rapid running of the war horse, red and black were quickly intertwined.
The long knife swept and met the long sword of the Qin army head-on.
With a "ding" sound, the force of the shock even made the running war horses stop.
The brutal horse battle also kicked off completely at this time, and blood sprayed with it.
It's a pity that this seemingly ferocious and abnormal battle actually has strength on both sides and does not go all out.
On the Qin side, only 50,000 cavalry were scattered, while the Zhao army also used 50,000 cavalry against the enemy, of which the Hu cavalry was the main force.
Even so, Zhao Jun still occupies a certain initiative.
However, such an advantage is very small, and it is not enough to change the tide of the battle.
Of course, in fact, the generals on both sides knew that although the cavalry attack was the first to start, it was the attack and defense of the main village that really determined the victory or defeat of this battle.
Needless to say, the Qin State naturally didn't think that they would wipe out all the more than 250,000 troops of the coalition army so easily;
As for Zhao Guo, why do you want to enjoy the joy of destroying the Qin army alone!
Therefore, the generals of both sides consciously controlled the input and rhythm of the mutual attack, and although the battlefield was dark, the actual casualties were not too large.
After holding down the cavalry of the Zhao army, Wang Yi immediately focused his attention on the attack and defense of the main camp of the coalition army.
Soon, under the command of Meng Fu, the main force of the Qin infantry marched neatly and finally advanced under the walls of the coalition army.
At the same time, the coalition forces were already ready to engage in battle, and the arrangements of the coalition armies naturally reached Meng Yu's ears at the first time - everything was exactly the same as the previous analysis.
glanced at Wang Di on the side, but found that Wang Di did not have the slightest movement.
Meng Fu immediately understood that General Wang Ji was not ready to interfere in his own command.
After determining the location of the Han army, Meng Fu immediately ordered: "Order: The main force of the 40,000 troops of the front army will attack the south gate, and all the siege equipment will go to it; Divide 15,000 troops each to feint to attack the east and west gates! Moved to the south. ”
"No!" When the herald heard the order, he hugged his fists a little and took the order!
After a short time, the Qin army moved slowly to the south.
At this time, among the Chinese army, Ti cavalry came out in all directions, and then the entire Qin army front began to change. Especially its front army, the army was immediately divided into three, and the stout one accounted for more than half of the front army!
And this Qin army did not rush to the broadest front of the coalition army, but rushed to the weakest side of the entire battlefield - the south.
It is said that the south is the weakest side of the entire battlefield, not only because of the lack of strength of the army of Han Zhiguo, but more importantly, because the combat strength of the Korean army is also quite weak.
Although Han Jun has been preparing for several months, when it really comes to the moment of playing, he can't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Especially after seeing the dense Yan army arrow towers, ladders and city vehicles, the hearts of the soldiers of the Han army were even more nervous.
The ladder is okay, come up and beat the other, but the arrow tower is very annoying, and the city car also has a devastating deterrent to its own city gate!
The point is that he can beat you, but you can't destroy him! Unless a cavalry comes out and drives the Yan army away, and then destroys the discarded siege equipment. Otherwise, you can only rely on the height advantage of the city wall and shoot the soldiers in it to reduce its attack power, but such a counter-shooting, even if there is a advantage of the terrain, but the strength is tight, and the opponent will not lose three for one!
The most frustrating thing was that the Qin army seemed to know that it was best to bully here, so they directly drove the main army to the south.
It is important to know that the terrain to the south is actually narrow, and not as wide as the west to facilitate the deployment of troops.
The coalition forces themselves are also to blame for this matter, who told you to show the flag of your country at every turn, the Qin army did not even need to waste time and troops to probe, and almost effortlessly locked the direction of the South Korean army.
It's too late to say anything now, the Qin army is already close at hand, and it is about to attack, even if it wants to change the defense, it is too late.
What else can be done?
Hit!
"Hurry up, get ready for battle!" The general of Han Zhiguo touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then urged the soldiers under his command.
The good news is that because of months of preparation, on top of the castle tower, rolling wood and stones, gold juice poison arrows have already been prepared, although there is sweat in the hands, but it is not without the strength to fight.
So, let's fight!
"Quick, transfer the stone-throwing cart to the South Korean army in the south." Xin Lingjun obviously also saw the current situation clearly on the castle tower, and immediately issued an order: "Tell General Han that all the catapults belonging to the coalition army should be strengthened to him." ”
Catapults may be the only help that the coalition forces have given to the South Korean army today.
It's not that Xinlingjun is unwilling to transfer reinforcements to the Korean army, but he really can't be transferred.
First, although the direction of the Qin army's first wave of attack has been exposed, the Qin army's Chinese army has not yet moved, in case, this round of attack is just a cover, once he transfers his troops, the main force of the Qin army will attack the front, how should he deal with it? Do you want to bring back the troops that have just been transferred?
Second, the troops of each country have their own combat habits, and although they have been in the battalion for several months together, they have not really combined the exercises. If the Wei army is sent to reinforce the Korean army, what will happen without tacit cooperation at all, even Xinlingjun does not dare to guarantee,
If it is because of the cooperation of the two armies, which leads to the collapse of the front, it is really wronged.
It's better to allocate some catapults, maybe the power is not great, but it is not a very side effect, and it can be regarded as a part of Xinlingjun's heart.
Soon, the Qin army outside the city continued to advance slowly, and the catapult position behind the south gate was also nervously making final preparations!
Closer, closer, closer!
Five hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
The outline of the arrow tower can already be clearly seen, and it seems that the Yan army in the arrow tower is already building a bow, and a little cold light is facing the Han army on the city wall!
received the explanation of Han Zhiguo, who was kind to Xinlingjun, but he still endured it and did not give the order to launch.
It's closer, it's getting closer!
The Qin army's forward had already reached the attack range of the catapult, and the beacon that had been calibrated was quickly trampled under the feet of the Qin army.
"Uh......h Woohoo......"
In the Qin army's main formation, the sound of whimpering horns came, and the sound of drums immediately became rapid and dense.
The Qin army immediately heard the sound and advanced, and all of them accelerated their pace, even the Qin army pushing the arrow tower ladder also increased its strength, and the entire Qin army's front finally entered the final sprint stage!
"This is the time!" General Han Zhiguo's heart moved, and with a wave of his big hand, the red flag above the southern city was immediately raised, and it was waved and swayed in the north wind.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
The catapult roared!
The boulder smashed into the camp of the Qin army, and immediately squeezed several Qin soldiers into juice, and the flying dust and debris turned the nearby Qin army into ashes, but that was all.
Unfortunately, this group of stones was thrown right between the two sets of siege equipment, and did not cause any damage to the siege equipment.
The soldiers of the Qin army patted the dust on their bodies, and the soldiers of the Qin army were obviously not surprised by these inaccurate stone throwers, and they could only blame themselves for their bad luck when they were crushed to death. So the Qin soldiers and soldiers continued to move forward disapprerovitically!
Where can the catapults in the Qin army's array accommodate the catapults of the coalition army, and then they stopped one after another, and began to fight back towards the city tower.
It's a pity that the accuracy of the Qin army's catapult is not much better than that of the coalition army.
Either they stole into the camp or smashed on the way of their own troops, but fortunately, they were lucky not to hurt their own people.
"Bang ......"
Immediately afterwards, the catapult was launched again.
It's a pity that the harvest is still very little, although it also destroyed an arrow tower, but it is only a drop in the bucket.
If Zhao Kuo is here, he must shake his head fiercely, that's it, that's it?
Round after round of stone bullets frantically smashed on the queue of the Qin army's siege equipment, and the harvest cannot be said to be none, it can only be said that it is only a few!
Perhaps the only use of this catapult was to slightly delay the advance of the Qin army's siege equipment.
Even the footsteps of the Qin army's foot soldiers slowed down unconsciously. There is no way, without the support of the arrow tower, the Qin army's foot soldiers are just the target of the Korean army's crossbowmen on the wall.
But as time passed, the Qin army finally advanced beyond the walls established by the coalition forces.
"Stay!"
Eighty paces away, the Qin army's arrow tower finally stopped moving forward.
"Up!"
At the sound of an order, hundreds of Qin archers hurriedly climbed the arrow tower!
"Attack!"
The captain of the former army immediately issued a military order to the soldiers under his command, and countless soldiers of the Qin army instantly rushed to the top of the city tower with one cloud ladder after another.
"Lead!" Standing on top of the tall arrow tower, the captain immediately ordered.
......
Some people died, but not completely......
