Chapter 728: Heavy Riding Meets Non-Opponents
The almost identical outfit appeared in front of the heavy cavalry of the Qin army as if looking in a mirror.
It was only at this time that the Qin army remembered: heavy cavalry, but Zhao Guo brought it to the battlefield first! xь.
It's just that, obviously, at this point in the battle, the Qin army has no way to retreat.
Immediately, although the heavy cavalry of the Qin army was already tired, they also mustered up the last courage and killed the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army.
The distance of hundreds of paces, at the feet of the heavy cavalry that had already galloped, was only a blink of an eye.
Finally, the two torrents still collided fiercely.
Suddenly, above the battle, people turned on their backs.
It's just that the expected situation of winning and losing each other did not appear, but the faster Qin army presented a one-sided situation.
Yes, almost all of the soldiers who fell on that battlefield were soldiers of the Qin army.
Even if the Qin army was a little tired, it should never be like this.
But the results are so shocking.
Without him, the heavy cavalry of the Qin army did not solve the two key techniques of the heavy cavalry, the bilateral stirrup and the high bridge saddle.
It can be said that the heavy cavalry of the Qin army at this time was just a junior cavalry with heavy armor, and the reason why it was able to penetrate the queue of the Zhao army was that on the one hand, the Zhao army did not resist much at all, and on the other hand, the Qin army used a rope to trap his body and war horse together.
Obviously, such a fixation is enough in the face of foot soldiers, but in the face of the cavalry of the Zhao army, which is also armed to the teeth, it is obviously a little insufficient.
First of all, such restraints greatly limited the range of Qin Jun's movements. And the restriction of the range of action will undoubtedly make the soldiers of the Qin army lose many ways to attack. In particular, slashing and slashing that requires outstretched arms and charging power is even more useless.
Secondly, although the rope binds people and horses together, it can only be unloaded during the impact, ensuring that the soldiers of the Qin army will not fall off the horses due to the reaction force, but they cannot let the soldiers of the Qin army borrow strength on the back of the horses like bilateral stirrups.
Finally, because of the lack of Takahashi's saddle, in fact, the posture of the Qin soldiers on horseback was also extremely limited.
Such a "fake Li Kui" encounters a "real whirlwind" equipped with bilateral stirrups and Takahashi saddles, and the result can be imagined.
When the two armies staggered, the long knives slashed at each other, and the Qin army was almost immediately at an absolute disadvantage, without the slightest power to protect itself.
Many Qin troops were almost cut off under this blow.
And even the soldiers of the Qin army, who were able to dodge this blow, were not much better, and the iron chains between the war horses quickly became their talismans.
In order to maximize the damage, the chains of the Qin army's war horses were half a human height, which happened to be on the chest of the war horse.
It's a pity that the war horse that has been equipped with heavy armor is not afraid of the threat of this iron chain at all, but under the huge reaction force, the iron chain ripped off the soldiers of the Qin army on the war horse and the saddle together.
With the sound of "bang bang bang", one after another the heavy cavalry of the Qin army fell under the hooves of the heavily armed iron cavalry led by Zhao Wei.
It is clear that the heavy cavalry of the Qin army, with its fatal flaws, is no match for the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army at all.
Perhaps, the only meaning of the existence of the heavy cavalry of the Qin army is to slightly block the speed of the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army for the follow-up Qin army.
Fortunately, the scene of the heavy cavalry of the Qin army being injured made Meng Fu see it all.
Although he didn't know what spells Zhao Jun cast, Meng Fu clearly realized that his heavy cavalry was no match for Zhao Jun at all.
What made Meng Fu even more chilling was that since Zhao Jun had already had a way to deal with his heavy cavalry, how could he run away in embarrassment? xь.
Obviously, this is a trap.
Almost instantly, Meng Fu had already realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered Meng Fu to turn around.
It's a pity that since the heavy cavalry has already appeared on the battlefield, how can the other Zhao troops have no action.
Just when Meng Fu looked at it in amazement
When the heavy cavalry was falling from the altar in the distance, among the Zhao army, the whimpering horn had already sounded again.
Two light cavalry with tens of thousands of foot soldiers had already begun to outflank the Qin army from the left and right flanks.
It is clear that Zhao Jun wants to eat all the 100,000 Qin troops in one go.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Meng Fu couldn't care about the heavy cavalry that had cost Qin a lot of money to build, so he immediately ordered: "The heavy cavalry will block the assault of the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army on the spot, and the rest of the Qin army will immediately retreat."
It should be said that the order of the Obscurity was correct and timely.
In fact, with the heavy cavalry of the Qin army now, it is impossible even if they want to retreat.
After all, turning around and accelerating again, he must not be able to outrun the Zhao army, who is only a hundred steps away and has already accelerated.
And once the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army rushed into the Qin army's infantry line, the already somewhat chaotic front was bound to collapse at the first time.
In this way, the 100,000 troops of Bao Buqi will really have to be explained on this battlefield.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most correct choice to leave the heavy cavalry and use the 3,000-strong heavy cavalry to drag the main force of the Zhao army to retreat and gain time for the main army to retreat.
To be able to decisively give up his hard work at this critical moment in exchange for the survival of the main force, I have to say that Meng Fu has grown too much.
It's a pity that Meng Fu's order was indeed given quickly and decisively enough.
But the situation on the front line is not satisfactory.
Although the sound of Ming Jin had already sounded rapidly, there were still quite a few Qin troops who continued to run forward, wanting to kill even one more Zhao pawn.
It's not just one or two Qin troops who even have such thoughts, but the entire Qin army is doing it.
After all, although the sound of Mingjin sounded, it was up to him whether he heard it or not, and there was also a certain range of flexibility in the Qin Law.
Naturally obedient, when they heard the sound of gold, they stopped their steps and even began to retreat; And the "clever" point chased more than a dozen steps before reluctantly stopped.
Don't underestimate this time and chase, there is a gap of dozens of steps when you come and go.
It is self-evident what this means for a well-organized military formation.
Fortunately, the strict Qin Law finally stopped the Qin army's pursuit, but looking at the Qin army's front again, it was already scattered.
And such a scattered formation, obviously there is no need for the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army, even if it is just an ordinary Zhao army, it can be easily broken.
This is almost a catastrophe for a team that wants to leave the battlefield.
It's just that Meng Wei didn't have time to adjust the formation, and the Zhao troops on both sides and in front had already pressed towards him. It won't be long before the encirclement is complete.
At that time, even if the Qin army adjusted the formation, it might not be able to break out of the cage.
With a ruthless heart, Meng Wei also decisively ordered: "Daxu sent an order, the cavalry immediately restrained the cavalry of the Zhao army, and the infantry army immediately returned, without taking into account the formation."
Of course, Meng Fu knew that as soon as this order was issued, the army would be uncontrollable in an instant, and it was not impossible to even be defeated.
But in the face of Zhao Jun's aggressiveness, Meng Fu obviously has no other way, so let's get out!
Of course, Meng Fu also believed that as long as he could escape from the encirclement of the Zhao army, with the strict discipline of the Qin army, he would soon be able to regroup his troops with the Daxu behind him.
Sure enough, with the order of Daxu, the soldiers of the Qin army finally realized that the situation was not good, and immediately followed their respective commanders and captains, and began to run wildly towards the road they came.
From hunter to prey, the Qin army only took a short two quarters of an hour.
Looking at the surprisingly decisive retreat of the Qin army, Zhou Qi, who was still in the middle of the Chinese army, also sighed slightly: It seems that the goal of completely annihilating the Qin army is still not possible!
"Instead of injuring his ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of his fingers." Zhou Qi weighed it slightly in his heart. Xiushu.com
Slightly estimating the number of Qin troops that could be left, Zhou Qi also decisively ordered:
"The order was given to the front army, and the cavalry continued the pursuit, and the foot soldiers began to tighten the encirclement. After the heavy cavalry cleared the heavy cavalry of the Qin army, they did not cooperate enough and strangled the Qin army in the encirclement."
"Yes." The herald next to him immediately agreed.
Soon, with the order of Daxu, the sound of the drums began to change, and the Zhao army on the front line also began to advance at both ends, and began to cut off the retreating Qin army.
It should be said that there is no problem with Zhou Qi's plan, since the Qin army has discovered his plan and has begun to retreat, then he may not be able to leave more Qin troops if he continues to pursue and expand the encirclement.
Especially when the heavy cavalry was temporarily dragged, it was too late to pursue.
Even, an excessively large encirclement can allow a small group of Qin troops to slip out of the encirclement, in this case, it is better to cut it off and completely wipe out the Qin army that can be obtained as much as possible.
After all, this battle, and some fights, Zhou Qi is not in a hurry at all.
Of course, Zhao Jun's change of formation was also seen by Meng Fu, who was retreating, but unfortunately, in the face of Zhao Jun's truncating move, he had nothing to do except keep urging the army to withdraw quickly.
Soon, under the advance of the left and right armies of the Zhao army, the marching columns of the Qin army were forced to compress, and countless Qin troops rushed towards the narrower and narrower passage.
And along the way, the Qin army also staged a re-enactment of the Zhao army's loss of armor.
It's a pity that this time the Qin army has no possibility of reversing.
Finally, under the pressure of Zhao Jun's bow and crossbow, the last passage was also closed.
It's a pity that the main force of the Qin army, including Meng Fu, escaped at the last moment.
Although the 20,000 cavalry of the Zhao army still chased the Qin army, it was obvious that the pursuit of the Zhao army could not achieve much effect when the cavalry of the Qin army was not damaged.
The good news is that more than 23,000 Qin troops, including 3,000 heavy cavalry, were surrounded and killed on the battlefield by the Zhao army.
What's even worse is that with the withdrawal of the main force of the Qin army, there is no longer any force that can appear to rescue them......
