Chapter 428: Chess wins a move
Chapter 428
"Bang!" As the war drums sounded, the long sword in Han Xin's hand waved! The 50,000 elite soldiers formed an offensive formation almost in unison, and quickly rushed towards the Qin army.
Bai Yi saw that there were no cavalry in the formation of the enemy's charge, only a few chariots, and he immediately understood, and after an order was given, the defensive formation of the Qin army was quickly set out.
"Crossbow ready!" As a row of archers measured the distance with a row of arrows, the crossbowmen in the Qin army were ready to bend their bows and string them.
When the enemy army entered the firing range, Bai Yi waved his hand, and his generals shouted: "Release the arrow!" Suddenly, a black cloud appeared in the sky, and it galloped down with the sound of breaking wind.
"Raise your shield!" Although there were shields to resist, but in the face of the Qin army's strong bows and crossbows, these shields were still a little difficult to resist, and suddenly a large number of soldiers fell, and the soldiers behind hurriedly rushed forward to pick up the shields and continue to advance.
The Qin army's arrows and crossbows never stopped, and suddenly, there were several gaps in the Qin army's lineup, but they made way for the huge ballista.
"Watch out for dodge!" Han Xin cut off a falling arrow with a sword, but he didn't forget to shout loudly.
However, when the arrows thicker than the arms struck with the sound of the wind, no one in the military formation could dodge, and suddenly the arrows flew through the enemy's body and flew into the military formation, and even a chariot was directly shot.
However, the arrows were never able to stop the enemy, and soon the enemy rushed to the front. In the face of the defensive line composed of the heavy infantry of the Qin army, it was difficult for the general infantry and cavalry to break through, and they could only rely on heavy armored iron cavalry or chariots.
Just as the chariot was charging into battle, the Qin army suddenly opened a gap that allowed the chariot to enter easily.
Seeing the strict lineup in the Qin army, Han Xin's face changed, and he jumped directly from the chariot, and the next moment the chariot disappeared into the lineup of the Qin army, but there was only a little smoke and dust, which did not affect the lineup of the Qin army.
"Woohoo!" Two long lances stabbed over, and Han Xin rolled over on the top of the head of the soldier behind him, while the soldier behind him was pierced through the body.
In the Qin army, Bai Yi stood in the chariot and saw that the enemy army was erecting a ladder to get past the shield of the heavy infantry, picked up the binoculars, stood on tiptoe and looked at both sides of the battlefield, and saw a puff of smoke and dust on the left and right sides through the telescope.
Han Shin re-mounted a chariot in the back and also saw the situation on the left and right. Han Xin had already prepared, and the weakest side of the attack immediately formed a defensive formation.
Even Han Xin put the most elite parts on the sides, and even the cavalry could hardly break through the defenses on both sides.
However, after Han Xin carefully saw the speed and armor of the cavalry on both sides, his face changed greatly, because this was a heavily armored iron horse!
Since the expedition, Bai Yi and Cao Yu have not used heavy armored iron horses, mainly because they are not used, which leads Han Xin and others to think that there are no heavy armored iron horses in the Qin army.
In front of the heavily armored iron cavalry, the defense lines on both sides arranged by Han Xin were like tofu, and they were easily crushed.
"Withdraw!" Han Xin roared in a low voice. There was no way, Han Xin could only withdraw his troops earlier than planned.
In the face of the heavily armored iron cavalry, it can't be stopped at all, and the Qin army will inevitably counterattack. Now it can still retreat, the formation of the Qin army has not changed, and the heavy armored infantry is dragging down the time of the Qin army behind, and there are only heavy armored iron cavalry.
If you wait for the Qin army to come over, it will be really difficult to retreat. When Bai Yi saw that the enemy army was about to withdraw, he immediately ordered the archers to release their arrows.
The heavily armored iron cavalry remained unscathed in the rain of arrows, while the enemy suffered heavy losses. When retreating, Han Xin turned his head to look at Qin Jun and said in a low voice: "If I, Han Xin, can have such an army, who in the world can be my Han Xin's opponent!" "But there is no if, only a bloody defeat.
Seeing that the Qin army did not pursue, Han Xin knew that his plan and Zhang Liang's plan had failed, and he had lost a large number of men and horses in vain.
But he Han Xin also has a backhand, but I don't know if this backhand has succeeded. So after returning to the barracks, Han Xin ignored Tian Rong and the others, and ran directly to the mountain.
On the other side, Cao Yu moved a chair and sat in front of the Chinese army's tent, sipping melon seeds in his hand, looking leisurely.
Suddenly, Cao Yu's ears moved, and he faintly heard the sound of a war horse galloping, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Report! Checkmate! A large brigade of cavalry appeared in the north of the camp and came straight to the camp of our army. The scout came quickly to report.
"Order the Mo Sword Army to go out of the battle, and the heavily armored sharp soldiers will press the formation." Cao Yu said lightly.
"No!" The gate of the camp slowly opened, and the Modao army quickly rushed out of the camp, and after forming a formation, wearing heavy armor and holding the Modao sword, rushed towards the enemy's cavalry with heavy steps.
The general of the enemy army saw that the Qin army reacted so quickly, and knew that the Qin army had already prepared, but he was bent on making meritorious contributions, and he didn't want to retreat at all, not to mention that the enemy army was all infantry, and he took the initiative to rush over.
"Brothers! It's time to make a difference! Kill! The general roared angrily and charged forward with the cavalry behind him.
"Mo Dao Army! Defend the country and fight bravely to kill the enemy! Kill! "Everyone in the Mo Dao army faced the charging cavalry, and no one retreated timidly, waving the extremely sharp Mo knife in his hand and slashing it.
Mo knife formation, chopping the horse's legs, chopping the horse's head, chopping the horse's body, the action can be described as smooth, so that the enemy's cavalry can not cross the barrier of the Modao army.
Although the Modao Army was born to fight against the cavalry, it turned out that the Modao Army also had to pay a great price against the cavalry.
Cao Yu came to the camp, and after seeing this scene, he immediately frowned, he was also the first time to use the Modao Army, and now the result is that the casualties are always too great.
Of course, if Qin Xi knew that Cao Yu used the Mo Sword Army like this, he would definitely beat him with a big-eared scraper. If you want to try the power of the Mo Dao Army, it's not such a test.
The Modao Army is a defensive team that is used only after the enemy cavalry is close, and it is simply nonsense to use archers to deal with the cavalry, but to let the Modao Army rush forward.
Cao Yu immediately ordered the iron cavalry to go out of the camp to rescue the Modao army, and after the 1,000 iron cavalry in the battalion left the camp, they quickly crushed the enemy's cavalry, and the enemy could only rely on the speed advantage and evacuated the battlefield.
After this battle, the Qin army can be said to have won a complete victory, and Han Xin, who was watching the Qin army's camp from the mountain, sighed, and then sat on the stone decadently.
After Bai Yi led the troops back to the camp, he saw Cao Yu lying at the door of the Chinese army's tent, receiving the cane. Bai Yi was startled, hurriedly stopped the two guards, knelt on one knee and asked eagerly, "What's going on?" Cao Yu sweated profusely and said weakly: "Because I made a mistake in command, but the Modao Army suffered heavy losses, and I should punish myself." Fifty rods and ten rods, get out of the way. ”
"You!" Bai Yi didn't know what to do for a while. Cao Yu shouted loudly: "Go on!" And ten rods! I counted! The two guards glanced at Bai Yi, only to see Bai Yi say, "Okay!" It's all rotten, and the remaining ten rods will be fought later, otherwise you will fight the next battle! ”
