Chapter 729 Two rounds of battles are temporarily tied
However, to the Qin army's surprise, the Zhao army, which had already surrounded them, did not attack them at the first time.
It's not that you don't attack, it's just that the time hasn't come.
On another small battlefield, the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army was encircling and suppressing the last heavy cavalry of the Qin army.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the distant Daxu, the last heavy cavalry of the Qin army did not know their situation.
Compared with the fear of death, the hearts of the heavy cavalry of the Qin army were more of the sorrow and guilt of "having the intention to kill the thief and not being able to return to the sky".
Only they themselves knew how harsh the selection of heavy cavalry was.
Although it is not as comprehensive as the selection of Qin Jun's sharp soldiers, it is far stricter than the general selection of forwards. The election of more than 3,000 of them in an army of more than 300,000 is proof of this.
Only they themselves knew how hard the training of the heavy cavalry was.
Before dawn, they had already gotten up and ran with weights, no matter the wind or rain, the weight of dozens of catties was on their shoulders, and they traveled more than ten miles back and forth between the camp and Xianyang, regardless of the wind and rain or even snow and hail.
Only they know how much the entire Qin court has placed high hopes on them and how many resources have been poured into them.
Meat, which was rare even in wartime, was an almost daily necessity in their camp, and the armor and swords on their bodies were the best of the best, even for ordinary commanders.
But all this came to naught at this moment.
They didn't know why they couldn't beat the Zhao Jun heavy cavalry in front of them, who was almost exactly the same as themselves.
Even the warrior with the best riding skills and the greatest strength in the camp was like a weak woman in front of Zhao Jun's heavy cavalry, and was easily poked to the ground.
A deep sense of powerlessness has already hit the whole body.
But Rao was like this, and the heavy cavalry of the Qin army still did not choose to retreat.
It's not that they are not afraid of death, it's just that they know that they can't shake the Zhao army in front of them even if they are dressed in armor, let alone the foot soldiers behind them.
And the last order given to them by the general was to hold the position and buy time for the army to break through.
Therefore, they must be like a stake, nailed here, even if they die, to buy the last time for the army.
Although there were few comrades-in-arms around him, the heavy cavalry of the Qin army still held on to their place without retreating, quietly waiting for their fate to come.
Perhaps, this is also the last thing they can do for the Qin State and for the comrades-in-arms behind them.
It's a pity that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as dogs.
In the face of absolute strength, the words "regard death as home" seem so pale and powerless.
Soon, the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army had completely divided the heavy cavalry of the Qin army.
In the middle of a few charges, the last heavy cavalry of the Qin army was finally shot off their horses.
Such an elite army, which had taken Qin State several years of hard work, came to a complete end.
When the whimpering horn sounded again, the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army, which had already eliminated the heavy cavalry of the Qin army, finally slowly appeared in front of the surrounded Qin army's foot soldiers.
With the addition of heavy cavalry, the battle was completely free of any suspense.
During the rampage, the heavy cavalry quickly smashed the circle formation that the Qin army had finally formed.
Immediately stepping on the neat drumbeat, tens of thousands of Zhao troops shouted "Descend, descend, descend" while shrinking the encirclement.
It's a pity that even though he has no hope of surviving, Qin Jun still hasn't put down the sword in his hand.
Helpless, Zhou Qi could only give the final order to annihilate.
Immediately, the rotation of the three thousand heavy cavalry began to rush towards the Qin army's front, which had been divided into several pieces.
Yes, wash.
Heavy cavalry charged in front, and infantry brushed their heads in the rear.
The Qin army, which had lost the defense of the front, seemed so small and insignificant in front of the strict Zhao army formation.
small table
Hundreds of Qin soldiers fell silently under Zhao Jun's long knife every moment, and what they could exchange for was not even a single-digit Zhao army.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was almost slaughtering his comrades, Qin Jun finally realized that defense was pointless at all.
It's just that, even so, they still didn't choose to lay down their arms.
It's not just because of the blood and courage in the bones of the old Qin people, but more importantly, they know in their hearts that if they hold on for a moment, the main army will be able to go for a moment longer. If you walk for a few more moments, you will be less likely to be pursued.
And as long as the main force of the army is still there, it is possible to avenge them.
It is also possible to bring the fruits of victory to the Qin State and their relatives, so that their sacrifices will not be in vain.
So, at the last moment of their lives, the soldiers of the Qin army resolutely chose to rush towards the Zhao army.
After all, the heavy armored cavalry of the Zhao army is limited, and as long as they are killed together with the foot soldiers of the Zhao army, they will no longer have to worry about the heavy cavalry rushing and killing.
This is indeed a good way to deal with heavy cavalry.
It's just that there are only more than 10,000 Qin troops left, and they can't hold out for too long to form a formation to protect themselves, let alone take the initiative to rush and kill the Zhao army front that is several times their own.
This is undoubtedly looking for death.
This is indeed the way that Qin Jun can spell out the most Zhao Jun. Ь.
Not surprisingly, in the face of the almost desperate fighting style of the Qin army, the losses of the Zhao army still came up.
Fortunately, this battlefield is large enough, and the Zhao army also has enough time and space to slowly wear away the remaining Qin army.
Soon, the Zhao army also mobilized, and in the movement, using the advantage of military strength to constantly strangle the ranks of the Qin army.
Finally, it took a full two hours for the Zhao army, with the help of the cavalry returning from the pursuit, to finish strangling the remnants of the Qin army.
Even so, the Zhao army still paid nearly three thousand casualties for this.
The courage of the Qin army can be seen.
It's a pity that no matter how brave the Qin army is, they have all become corpses in one place.
After all, the battle ended with the victory of the Zhao army.
In this eight-day fierce battle, the Zhao army also paid the price of more than 20,000 horses, and the Qin army lost 35,000 men and horses.
It should be said that with such a loss, Meng Fu has really tried his best. Even if Wang Yi comes, he may not be able to do better.
Who would have thought that Zhao Jun had already had a mature plan for the appearance of his heavy cavalry;
Who would have thought that the heavy cavalry that he had trained for two years would be so vulnerable in front of the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army.
If it weren't for Meng Fu's decisive strong man's wrist breaking, the loss of the Qin army would never be just more than 30,000 people, not to mention the annihilation of the entire army, at least nearly half of the Qin army would have been drowned in it.
What's more, as an opponent, Zhao Jun also lost more than 20,000 people, and although he won, it was only a miserable victory and a small victory.
Fortunately, although Meng Fu suffered heavy losses, he still retained the strength of the first battle, and at the same time, he completely attracted Zhao Jun's attention to his side.
How so?
Strategically, Meng Fu can be regarded as having completed his task, but from a tactical point of view, Meng Fu did miscalculate.
Especially the heavy cavalry, which was cherished by the Qin army, was wiped out in this battle, and even the horses and armor were all returned to the Zhao State.
You must know that this is the excellent heavy armor that the Qin State spent the whole country to build.
And Zhao Guo only needs to match the horse with a bilateral saddle and a Takahashi saddle, and there are immediately three thousand heavy horses here, and the gap between Zhao and Qin is even greater.
The good news is that the big war is imminent, and Zhao Guo has no time to digest these three thousand heavy armors.
And this battle can almost be said to be a decisive battle for Zhao Qin. Therefore, the existence of these three thousand heavy armors did not have much impact on the final victory or defeat of Qin and Zhao.
The bad news is that Zhao's own 3,000 heavy cavalry will still be active on the battlefield.
This also means that no matter when and where, the Qin army must always be on guard against the appearance of this heavy cavalry when fighting.
Of course, this does not mean that the Zhao State, which has the advantage of heavy cavalry, is invincible.
The Qin army, which had already trained heavy cavalry, had apparently discovered many problems with heavy cavalry.
At worst, the Qin State still has the Black Ice Platform to monitor the movement of this heavy cavalry as much as possible.
But in any case, the second round of confrontation between Qin and Zhao ended with the victory of Zhao Jun.
So far, in the first and second rounds of Qin Zhao's confrontation, it has been a slight draw.
The Zhao army lost Lian Po, an old general, which certainly affected the morale of the Zhao army, but the Qin army also lost the heavy cavalry with high hopes, and its impact was not insignificant.
Compared with the two, perhaps no one has been able to take advantage of anything.
The final winner or loser still depends on the final third round of confrontation.
In fact, the third round of confrontation has also quietly opened in the process of the battle between Meng Fu and Zhou Qi.
The Xinling Jun of Wei is finally moving!
However, the direction of his actions was not to directly penetrate Yingchuan County as agreed with the Qin army, but to the east, intending to recover Dongjun, the homeland of Wei.
It should be said that although Xinlingjun's move was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
If Wei wants to develop, it can't let either of the Zhao and Qin families dominate, so for the Battle of Yingchuan, what Wei hopes most is that the two armies form a long-term confrontation like the Changping battlefield.
In this way, it gave the Wei army the time and opportunity to calmly lay out.
The Qin army was obviously also aware of the possibility of Wei *** heading east, so he sent his precious army of 50,000 to join the coalition army.
This is not only to increase the combat power of the coalition army, but also to monitor the movements of the Wei army.
But for some reason, the Wei army still appeared on the border of Dongjun.
It's a pity that Tian Dan, who was guarding in Dongjun, was obviously prepared for the arrival of the Wei army.
After sending a few scouts for a contact battle, Tian Dan quickly retreated back to the county with the Zhao army on the border, making it clear that he wanted to shrink his forces and fight a protracted battle with the Wei army. Ь.
It's just that what Ling Tiandan didn't expect was that his strategy of retreating and sticking to it was exactly in the hands of Xinlingjun......
