Chapter 726 Heavy cavalry came out at the end of the seventh day
On the seventh day of the battle, Meng Fu finally realized that something was wrong. xь.
Immediately, Meng Biao was also willing to take a risk and went to the front line in person, and after some careful observation, Meng Biao finally discovered the clues: it was not that Zhao Jun was fast learners, but that Zhao Jun who was replaced was more fierce than the other!
Obviously, the first to play against himself was not Zhao Jun's strongest lineup.
After coming to this conclusion, to be honest, Meng Fu is a little frustrated and a little pity.
If you can cast the hole cards in your hand at the first time, maybe at this time, you will already be standing on top of Zhao Jun's camp to celebrate.
Of course, as a general, Meng Fu also knows the truth that the past cannot be traced.
A lost opportunity, then it is no longer an opportunity.
Meng Fu also quickly adjusted his mood and began to face the current problems.
The current problem is that the Qin army is getting weaker and weaker the more it fights, while the Zhao army is relatively speaking, although the number of troops is getting smaller and smaller, it is getting better and better. If you continue to fight, let alone defeat the Zhao army on the opposite side, I'm afraid it would be good to end with a draw.
For the sake of today's plan, either take advantage of the fact that it still occupies a certain advantage to stop in time, withdraw the troops, and let the Zhao army enter the Yingchuan battlefield; Either give it a go, release the heavy cavalry, and try to defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop.
Naturally, neither of these two options is perfect.
Although after several days of fierce fighting, Meng Fu had actually successfully completed the task of containing and attracting the attention of the Zhao army, but with the heavy cavalry in hand, the Zhao army entered the Yingchuan battlefield safely, which was undoubtedly a defeat for Meng Fu.
And if you want to give it a go, in the face of the Zhao army, which is still very strict and has more than 70,000 troops, and 3,000 heavy cavalry, it may not be able to break through and disrupt its front.
In this way, the existence of his heavy cavalry was exposed.
After much deliberation, Meng Fu decided to play his last card.
First, his heavy cavalry has been trained for two years, even if Meng Fu has taken various measures, but with the ability of Zhao State's secret agent, there is no rumor, it is simply self-deception.
In other words, it is very likely that Zhao Guo already knew about the existence of this heavy cavalry. It doesn't make much sense to hide it yourself.
Second, although the heavy cavalry has been trained, what is the effect in actual combat, and what are the odds of victory compared with the heavy cavalry of Zhao State, in fact, Meng Fu is not very sure in his heart.
Rather than bringing this question to the final decisive battlefield, it is better to experiment on this partial battlefield.
If you can achieve the desired effect, it is the best, if not, you can find out the problem and improve it.
So, in such a state of mind, Meng Fu also immediately ordered: "Heavy cavalry, prepare for battle"
With a whimpering horn, the heavy cavalry, which was already rusting, could finally emerge from their tents!
Looking at the sunshine on the horizon, listening to the assembled horns and urging drumbeats, the soldiers of the heavy cavalry of the Qin army were also overjoyed: After two years of training, today, it is finally time for me to perform!
"Armor!" The commanders shouted and ordered.
Because the armor is too heavy, the usual heavy cavalry is not armored.
As the orders of their respective commanders were issued, the auxiliaries on the side immediately stepped forward to put on battle armor for the heavy cavalry and his war horses.
The armor of the heavy cavalry is designed to be thick and heavy for its protection, and it is impossible for a person to put on and take it off. Even with the help of three auxiliaries, it took a lot of effort to put on the heavy armor, and the armor-piercing auxiliaries were even more tired and panting.
Finally, the armor was still ready.
The black flags behind the heavy cavalry immediately tumbled up, which was a notice to the front army
The front army responded with a more compact sound of drums.
"Get on the horse!" The length of each song of the heavy cavalry then ordered again.
The auxiliary soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately moved to the side of the war horse one by one, and the heavy cavalry also slowly boarded the war horse with the help of the auxiliary soldiers.
Immediately after, again
Another auxiliary handed the cavalrymen who were already seated with refined spears;
As for the few auxiliaries just now, while removing the stools, they were busy hanging the chains connecting the adjacent war horses.
With the iron chain with the thickness of the iron thistle terrestris hanging up, all the three thousand heavy cavalry were finally ready.
Immediately, after his gaze swept over all the soldiers under his command, the long sword in the hand of the Qu Chang of each song was also raised high.
The flags waving at the rear of the front line immediately turned into bright red and dazzling battle flags, and at the same time, the sound of whimpering horns slowly sounded from behind the heavy cavalry.
It was the final announcement of the heavy cavalry phalanx.
At the sound of the horn, the infantry of the Qin army immediately began to shrink the defensive line under the command of their respective captains, giving room for the heavy cavalry to fight.
At the same time, the heavy cavalry of the Qin army in the Chinese army also lightly clamped the belly of the horse, and the three thousand heavy cavalry stepped slowly and finally began to enter the battlefield.
However, on this huge battlefield that stretches for hundreds of meters in front, even if there is an iron chain to speed up the control area, the area that can be controlled by only 3,000 heavy cavalry is limited.
This is also the main reason why Meng Fu is entangled in whether the heavy cavalry can complete the task.
"Knock, knock......"
The war drums of the Qin army sounded again with the sound of horses' hooves.
"Da, da, da......"
The hooves of the heavy cavalry were also accompanied by the sound of war drums, and gradually intensified, and before approaching the front line of the two armies, the heavy cavalry was about to complete the final acceleration.
At the same time that the heavy cavalry of the Qin army rushed towards the Zhao army's front at a very fast speed, the formation of the Zhao army had already changed in the process of accelerating the heavy cavalry of the Qin army.
It turned out that the changes in the battle formation of the Qin army, including the changes in the drums and horns, did not escape Zhou Qi's eyes, especially the bright heavy cavalry like an iron tower, which attracted Zhou Qi's attention from the moment it appeared.
Zhou Qi, who has always been partnered with Zhao Wei, of course understands the great threat of heavy cavalry and other killing weapons to the army under his command. In the face of such a killing weapon, Zhou Qi did not panic in the slightest, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
The reason is very simple, Meng Qi's hole card has long been guessed by Zhou Qi. Xiu Shu
"Finally willing to take it out." Zhou Qi secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Obviously, in the battle between the two armies, whoever opens the hole cards first will inevitably fall into the disadvantage. Of course, the premise is that you can catch the hole cards thrown by the opponent.
How to pick up?
Obviously, as the inventor of the heavy cavalry, Zhao Kuo certainly knew its weaknesses.
Familiar weapons such as the stabbing knife and the hook and sickle were quietly hoarded in a corner of the arsenal almost at the same time as the birth of the "Iron Floating Massacre".
It can be said that in the face of the "Iron Floating Massacre", which is very easy to learn, Zhao Kuo has already prepared all measures. It's just that in the face of the Qin army's very likely counterfeit and shoddy products, directly dispatching weapons such as hemp knives and hook sickles, that is to engage in themselves.
It's very simple, although the Zhao army can use a hemp knife and a hook sickle to solve the heavy cavalry of the Qin army this time, next time, the Qin army can also use the same method to solve its own heavy cavalry.
This is obviously not cost-effective for Zhao Jun.
Therefore, heavy cavalry against heavy cavalry is the best choice when facing the heavy cavalry of the Qin army.
Of course, with such a plan, Zhao Kuo naturally passed the anger with Zhou Qi and Zhao Wei a long time ago.
Naturally, Zhou Qi also acted according to the plan immediately!
Immediately, in the slow movement of the Qin army, on the high platform of the Zhao army, the red flag was also swaying, and the sound of the horn accompanied by the rapid drum beat sounded in the Zhao army, and then the entire Zhao army moved quickly.
While the allied army "Tiefutu" was still being prepared and the Qin army's front line began to shrink its defensive line, the front army of the Zhao army also followed the Qin army to shrink the defensive line.
Not only that, but the middle forces of the Zhao army gradually moved towards the two flanks that could not be reached by the "Iron Floating Tu", and at the same time, the cavalry of the guards on the left and right flanks also retreated;
Seeing that the heavy cavalry of the Qin army had already driven out, it was facing the Chinese army of the heavy cavalry defense line of the Qin army
, but "hurriedly" laid out several groups of rejection horses, and then the army only left part of the soldiers, and the main force retreated backwards and quickly withdrew;
The rear army became the front army and took the lead in retreating.
The entire legion, it seems, was about to retreat to the rear camp after discovering the heavy cavalry of the Qin army.
And Zhao Jun's large-scale transfer naturally can't hide from Meng Fu's eyes. It's just that Meng Fu didn't have much reaction to this.
After all, if he was in command, it might be the best way to shrink back to the camp in the face of heavy cavalry attacks.
It's just a pity that Meng Wei obviously underestimated his opponents Zhou Qi and Zhao Wei, and also underestimated Zhao Jun.
Just when Meng Fu ignored the movements of the Zhao army, the iron cavalry of the Qin army in front of him had already begun to move, and the clattering hooves of the horses were mixed with the sound of iron chains hitting each other, playing a different piece of music on the originally noisy battlefield.
It was a song called "Massacre."
Even if Zhou Qi had made adjustments in time, the tens of thousands of troops on the front line could not be mobilized in a short period of time.
The three thousand horsemen quickly passed through the opening left by the friendly forces in front of them, and then burst open at the exit.
The few rejecting horses couldn't stop the heavy cavalry of the Qin army at all, and in just an instant, they became a pile of wood slag.
The frontal battlefield then fell into the Qin army's iron cavalry show: the galloping iron cavalry danced wildly on the battlefield, blood and severed arms and stumps were waved into the air by the iron cavalry, and smashed to the ground, and the speed of the coalition iron cavalry did not decrease by half a point.
In just an instant, the Zhao army's front was torn to pieces by the sudden iron cavalry, and countless Zhao soldiers hated the spot.
This is the battlefield.
Don't ask why Zhou Qi knew that the Qin army had iron cavalry, but he didn't make arrangements in advance, causing almost tens of thousands of Zhao troops to be trampled by iron hooves.
The question is: These more than 10,000 heroic souls are the "admission tickets" to invite you into the urn.
Zhou Qi glanced back at the Qin army's "Tiefutu" who was charging at his front, and after confirming that the heavy cavalry of the Qin army had followed, Zhou Qi did not hesitate at all, and rushed to the rear army with his own soldiers in the rear of the palace.
Not far from the rear, Zhao Wei had prepared their own graves for the coalition forces......
