Chapter 688: Zhao Qin rode out in battle

By this point, any intrigue had lost its color.

When Qin Jian and Zhao Dao came and went, they fought for who could hold out until the last quarter of an hour.

The bravery of the individual is also a little powerless in such a large-scale battle. If war is a contest of national strength, then at this point in the war, what can be relied on is the real combat strength of the army.

Strong will, tacit cooperation, sophisticated weapons, strong body, continuous logistical supply, and fighting spirit that is not afraid of death are all aspects of the army's three-dimensional assessment.

Those who succeed enjoy all the fruits of victory, and those who lose can only be reduced to prisoners.

If there is anything that can determine the success or failure of this war in addition to the hard power of the army itself, perhaps it is the command art of generals and the power of science and technology.

Needless to say, the commanders must always pay attention to this boundless battlefield and accurately judge where there are opportunities and where there are opportunities for the enemy.

In the chess game with heaven and earth as the chessboard and human life as the chess piece, there is always no regret.

Under the hands of one of the gods, the Chinese army broke in, slashed the dragon and captured the flag;

Under the hands of one of the eagles, they were defeated and retreated, losing their cities and land.

It's a pity that Li Mu may be better than Wang Di's conducting skills, but it is far from as grand as the gap between Ke Jie and Ying Jiang.

Li Mu has the graceful agility of his Zhao army, and Wang Yi is also about the thick and steady of the old Qin people.

As the saying goes, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.

And the strength of the two armies, not to mention, is the existence of the top combat power in the world today, although the Qin army has some advantages in numbers, but this advantage is actually nothing in the fight of hundreds of thousands of troops, at least in the short term.

At the same time, although the cavalry of the Zhao army on both flanks suppressed the cavalry of the Qin army plus bed crossbows, in the infantry confrontation on the central position, it was obvious that the Qin army had the advantage.

Unfortunately, whenever the Qin army was about to complete a breakthrough on the part of the Zhao army, a group of Zhao cavalry suddenly appeared, turning the tide and pulling the balance of war back to the middle.

Similarly, whenever the Zhao army wanted to complete a breakthrough against the Qin cavalry, another group of Qin army foot soldiers carried spears to block the path of the Zhao army.

Cavalry that was not equipped with saddles and stirrups was actually not suitable for frontal charges, especially in spear formations like the Qin army. If you hit it hard, there is only the result of broken bones and tendons and being pierced.

As a last resort, Zhao Jun, who saw that the breakthrough was in front of him, could only give up and make another detour.

In this way, between you and me, there is a strange balance in this huge battlefield. It can be said that the two countries of Zhao and Qin, which have sufficient troops, under the command of Li Mu and Wang Di, almost no one can help anyone.

Although it seems to be ancient, this is unusually cruel to the generals on both sides.

Each order must be deliberate, yet resolute and decisive. Even in the face of the occasional mistake, there should not be the slightest mood swing.

Cautious and resolute, it is vividly reflected in them.

And just when all the Zhao Qin soldiers were running around and working hard for this war, Zhao Wei, who was sitting peacefully in Xinzheng City, was bored and couldn't sit still.

Obviously, he has a key force in his hand that can influence the situation of the battle, but Zhao Kuo just didn't let him go. Not only that, in order to hide people's eyes, Zhao Kuo also arranged him and his three thousand heavy cavalry in the city.

couldn't even go up to the battlefield, which really made Zhao Wei's heart itch.

And this grievance is 15 days.

Yes, this Zhao-Qin battle has lasted for fifteen days, and it is still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

After ten days of bloody fighting, both sides already felt a trace of tiredness. The huge loss made almost any general feel pain when he saw it.

Although both sides are still playing a deadly hand on each other, it is clear that the soldiers are tired, both physically and mentally.

In such cases, actually

There is no longer any need to continue fighting.

The generals on both sides actually knew in their hearts that if they continued to fight, there was only the possibility of losing both.

But ingeniously, the two sides tacitly continued to fight.

The reason is very simple, Zhao Kuo is waiting for an opportunity to throw the trump card in his hand.

What Zhao Kuo didn't know was that Wang Yu was also waiting, waiting for a piece of news, a news that was enough to shake Zhao Junjun's heart.

And today, the news finally reached the military camps of both sides.

The 50,000 Qin troops forced back the Zhao army in the Battle of Hedong and are currently marching on Kongcangling in Shangdang County.

Kongcang Ling, what a familiar name, the Battle of Changping, it was because of the failure to hold the empty warehouse collar that there was a follow-up confrontation with water and the Battle of Changping.

In other words, if Zhao Jun didn't want problems in the rear, it was time to consider retreating.

In Wang Di's thoughts, the only way for the current Zhao army to face the Qin army that could not be attacked was to give up the country of Han and withdraw to the party in order to fight again.

But at this juncture, Zhao Kuo not only did not flinch, but decided to use his Zhao Wei department to press the last weight in his hand.

It was another sunny morning, the same situation as the previous ten days, the same cavalry sprint, the same catapult and the rain of arrows, the same slow advance.

Finally, when there were still hundreds of steps away, Zhao Jun's formation suddenly opened up to both sides.

The heavy cavalry, which had been hidden behind the spears, rode their horses one after another, and under the bright sun, the cavalry in armor slowly appeared in front of the Qin army.

The polished and shiny black armor covered the cavalry and horses as a whole, like a solid iron tower, standing proudly in the battle array. Although it is not as dazzling as the Ming Guang Armor of later generations, it is also majestic and majestic.

When faced with the unknown, people often show panic and even fear.

It's just that this Qin army didn't.

Despite the appearance of different cavalry, the Qin army still walked at a neat pace and continued to advance.

Perhaps in their eyes, this is nothing more than a cavalry.

It's a pity that Zhao Jun won't explain too much to them, and the blood will naturally tell everyone the answer they want!

Without any pause, almost at the moment when the passage was revealed, the three thousand heavy horsemen had already mounted their war horses with the help of the friendly forces around them, and then the rows of heavy horses began to accelerate, and the muffled thunderous sound resounded on the battlefield again.

Three thousand heavy horsemen, each in groups of three, were connected to each other by arm-thick chains, and on top of the chains, countless thistles were hung to increase their lethality.

Looking up, each heavy cavalry and his war horse were covered with iron armor, and even their faces were luxuriously covered with iron masks, with only a few openings in the eyes and nose.

At the same time, every heavy cavalry was armed to the teeth. The Shangdang Arsenal's special standard long knife with iron as clay was their main weapon, a short and powerful crossbow, which was tied to the left arm, and the short dagger was attached to the waist for the purpose of the off-hand.

And the most critical "high-tech", the stirrup, is carefully concealed by the iron armor on the cavalry's legs, and unless you look at it up close, you can't tell whether it is an item on a war horse or a part of the iron armor.

Soon, the speed of the heavy cavalry was raised, and the formation of the heavy cavalry was gradually revealed in the eyes of the Qin army.

The 3,000 heavy cavalry were divided into thousands of groups, and the heavy cavalry of the gun group was divided into three rows, presenting a three, three, and four arrangement, each of which was interpolated into the air, ensuring that no fish slipped through the net, and at the same time, making this group of 1,000 heavy cavalry enough to control the vast area on the frontal battlefield.

And with the complete dispersion of the heavy cavalry, the front of the Qin army was already in front of him.

Looking at the behemoths like mountains in front of him, even Qin Jun was a little confused - what are these things?

And the more clearly they could see it, the more they muttered in the hearts of the soldiers of the Qin army.

Fortunately, Qin Jun's

The general spotted the signs in time and immediately shouted, "Steady!"

Although he didn't know what the Zhao Jun on the other side was, it was obvious that the Zhao Jun was menacing and must be difficult to mess with.

Therefore, the veteran Qin Junbei gave the order to "stabilize" while trying to squint his eyes and look at the Zhao army's military array in the distance, trying to see what the Zhao army wanted to do.

But unfortunately, before he could see the specific appearance of the other side, a huge black shadow had already rushed in front of him.

Almost subconsciously, the general of the Qin army raised the long sword in his hand and headed in the direction of the black shadow.

It's a pity that Zhao Jun, who was riding on a tall horse, didn't mean to stop at all, and the long knife slashed down, but it was the last to come first.

With a crisp sound of "ding", Qin Junbi shattered the long knife in his hand in half, and then the blades of the Zhao army's cavalry slashed across the general's body from top to bottom like a hot knife cutting butter.

Even with the dual protection of this long knife and the fine armor, the Qin army general was still seriously injured under this blow.

It's a pity that the bad luck of the generals of the Qin army is not over.

Before the lieutenant could catch his breath, a dark wall suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Bang!"

The fast-moving dark wall was instantly knocked three feet away, and more than a dozen Qin soldiers behind him were smashed and broken.

"That's a lot of strength!" This was the last thought that flashed through General Qin's mind.

The dark wall that hit was the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army wearing heavy armor, and the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army continued to advance as if they were not hindered by anything after crashing into the Qin generals.

At the same time, the shield bearers and spearmen around the general were also attacked. literature

Those who were more fortunate were slashed on the spot by the long knives in the hands of the heavy cavalry;

Those who were less fortunate were directly knocked away by the heavy cavalry advancing like a wall, and died in the shattering of their internal organs;

The unlucky one tripped over the iron chain connecting the three or five cavalry, and was seriously injured by the thistle terrestris on the chain, and finally trampled to death by the horse's hooves.

But in any case, the Qin army's tight front could not withstand the impact of the Zhao army's heavy cavalry at all, and almost in an instant, the Qin army's front was torn to pieces by the heavy cavalry......
