Chapter 186: The Battle of Qin Luo: Ning Ming and Die!
The clouds obscured the sky, and there was no warm light, and the battlefield, which was full of blood and soldiers, instantly became cold.
The soldiers on both sides fired at each other with crossbows, and the trebuchets did not stop.
The Luo people are condescending, and the Qin army is naturally at a loss.
"Boom!"
The boulder fell from the sky, smashing the entire person's head into the neck with a huge amount of potential energy.
It was an indescribably terrifying sight.
Killing with a sword can only deter timid ordinary people, and facing the soldiers of the battle will arouse murderous intent and blood.
But for a living person, the entire head is instantly sunken in, turning into a completely invisible flesh mud, and the visual impact is completely different.
In the face of this kind of huge force that is either dead or injured even if it is slightly rubbed, it actually makes no difference whether you wear armor or not.
Luo Ji stood on top of the city, looking at the damage caused by the crossbow and trebuchet.
The Qin people stood more densely, and although they were protected by large shields, they still caused a lot of casualties in the face of Luo's crossbows and trebuchets.
The power of crossbow arrows is not at all comparable to that of ordinary swords and arrows.
Even if the soldier with negative armor was hit by the crossbow head-on, the armor was directly dented, and the sharp crossbow arrow pierced through the chest, and the bright red blood kept gushing out, and he died violently.
As for the soldiers who did not have negative armor, there were even several corpses strung on top of the same crossbow arrow.
Luo Ji looked at the slightly chaotic formation of the Qin army, and nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the most elite army of the Qin State did not go into battle today.
Of course, Luo Ji didn't expect something like a trebuchet to kill or injure the Qin people.
That's ridiculous, unless these devices are extremely large-scale, their main role is to suppress morale and confuse formations.
Assist the army that will attack the city in the future.
Wang Jian methodically commanded the Qin army to attack the city, and normally it was necessary to surround three and lack one.
But the siege of the three missing one is to break the will to fight of the city sergeants.
But the attack on Zhaocheng was different, and Wang Jian did not think that the soldiers in the city would surrender.
Then it is natural to besiege from all sides and give full play to the advantages of the Qin army's large number of people and siege equipment.
Strike at Zhaocheng from all directions and without dead ends.
The Qin army did not launch a large-scale charge at the first time.
In the face of the Luo army, which is now at the peak of its physical strength and energy, it is no different from sending it to death.
Wang Jian sat upright in the middle of the Chinese army and ordered the generals, "Between the various battalions, don't attack without authorization."
Bai Cheng's fate must have been known to everyone.
If that happens again, will anyone be held responsible?
The warriors of the country of Luo are extremely brave, and beware of the surprise attack of the army of the country of Luo.
In accordance with my orders, the battalions lined up in array, and they must not be chaotic, and they attacked in turn.
This is the Battle of Raider!
It's not a stinky fish and rotten shrimp like Zhao Weihan!
You must put away the lightness in your heart, in the face of Luoren, you must be careful and careful, do you understand? ”
Wang Qian's tone was very stern, and it was the first time for the generals to see him so solemn, so they sat up straight one after another, saluted and said in unison: "Yes, General!" ”
"Spend a month first, grind the spirit of the Luo people, let their sharp energy disperse, and time is on our side."
The generals agreed in unison and continued to organize the Qin people to attack the city.
Wang Jian stood under the Chinese army, observing the entire battlefield, which was an extremely safe place.
No one in this world can cross a distance of fifteen hundred paces to kill a commander in the midst of an army.
In the sound of drums, the Qin people raised their shields and stepped forward, a group of people protecting their fronts, and a group of people protecting the top of their heads.
The sound of clanging came from above the big shield, and the Qin army relied entirely on the big shield to defend against the arrows shot from the city wall.
These powerful arrows made the hands of the Great Shield Soldier even begin to numb.
The Qin people were also fighting back, but it was naturally better to fight low from low to high, so the casualties were relatively large.
But although it is not said, it is clear to everyone.
The lives of the Luo people are expensive, and the lives of the Qin people are cheap.
It's hard to say who makes more money in such an exchange.
Shojo.
In the face of the Qin people's not particularly fierce, but a steady stream of attacks, the Luoguo Office began to discuss countermeasures.
Luo Ji's face was a little solemn and said: "It seems that Wang Jian can defeat the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, not only the incompetence of the three kingdoms."
He is going to fight a dumb battle, or to be hard to wear, exchanging the lives of the Qin people for the lives of the Luo people. ”
Everyone's faces were a little ugly.
There were 600,000 Qin people, even if half of them died.
It is still possible to organize a large-scale siege.
But if the Luo people are half dead, they won't even be able to defend the city.
Luo Ze frowned equally tightly, "If it's a field battle, it's like what the stepsister led the daring warriors did before."
Directly destroy the front army or several battalions, and you can sweep the whole army.
But in siege warfare, the initiative was completely controlled by the Qin people.
Beat the drum and marched, and Mingjin withdrew the troops.
The Qin people rotated in turn, and even if their morale was reduced, they could not be attacked by external forces, and they could even fight to the last soldier. ”
Luo Ji clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: "If you go on like this, you will be like a cow or sheep that has been bled out, gradually falling into death."
Is such a quiet fall what we want?
Legend has it that there is a strange flower in Tiannan, which is extremely beautiful but blooms in an instant.
Flowers and plants are still like this, let alone people?
The sages said that they would rather sing to death than be silent.
How much more is it to perish in silence?
Luo people are unyielding!
This is not the exit that the Los Angeles people should have.
As the descendant of King Su, he is glorious when he is prosperous, and he will shock the world when he is declining! ”
Everyone understood what Luo Ji meant, since the left and right are dead, it is better to die vigorously.
On top of history, the indomitable ambition of the Luo people will live forever.
……
After deciding on the strategy of taking the initiative, Luo has been looking for opportunities to observe the strength and weakness of the various battalions of the Qin army.
When night fell, in this era when most people suffered from night blindness, the Qin army naturally withdrew its troops.
But this was an opportunity for the Los Angeles army, and the tactic of night raids was rarely used.
Because there was no massively mobile cavalry, this tactic was not very practical.
In this era, the mainstream is still the duel of large armies, mainly relying on the side with a large number of people and stronger tactics to win.
Luo Ji and several other public disciples once again led the daring soldiers to attack.
They chose the battalion with the worst discipline observed in those days.
The purpose of this kind of thing is to find this kind of army that is easy to cause chaos.
Even in the darkness of the night, the view is not clear.
But Luo Shi was too familiar with the surroundings of Zhaocheng, and Luo Ji could touch the camp of Qin State even with his eyes closed.
Tens of thousands of cavalry quietly touched the Qin army's camp, and there were dotted fires in the camp, as well as patrolling soldiers.
The all-powerful Heavenly Soldier can not only act as a battlefield charge, but also as a killer.
They completely resolved a group of Qin troops in a few breaths, and not even a single sound leaked out.
But the slight bloody breath in the night breeze still made the patrolling people feel that something was wrong.
"Hey, how's your side doing?"
Another patrol soldier asked in a loud voice, and it was not his comrade who answered him.
It's an arrow that pierces through the clouds!
"Poof!"
The arrow pierced through his chest in an instant, and with the blood gushing out, all the words of this soldier were held back in his heart.
"Enemy attack!"
The terrible sound resounded throughout the night sky, but in an instant all the torches were extinguished, and everyone became blind.
The surging cavalry poured in like a tidal wave.
The brazier in the camp was kicked over, covered the ground, and smoke came out, and the bright red charcoal quickly turned black and then cooled.
Luo Ji shouted: "Three columns rush to kill, kill first and then burn!" ”
"Whoa!"
The earth-shattering sound was accompanied by a slightly trembling earth, which made all the Qin troops terrified.
Naturally, it is impossible for the soldiers in the large battalion to approve the armor.
In the face of the Luo army coming at high speed, these Qin people, who did not have batch armor, no whole column, and not even a big shield, were just lambs to be slaughtered.
Screams were heard everywhere, and the whole camp exploded.
Then the raging fire finally burned, not just the fire, but more the fire that burned the tent, and then the thick smoke.
Blood, fire, fog, knives, guns, corpses.
A treacherous picture scroll was presented in the eyes of everyone, the Qin people panicked, and the Luo people rode on horses, holding swords and guns in their hands.
There is no need to slash at all, as long as you rush through at high speed, there are corpses all over the ground.
Luo Ji calculated the time, hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!" ”
The roaring army quickly escaped from all corners, and the horses leaped high, even passing directly over the corpses piled up in small bags.
The war horse was panting with a snort, and the fierce sprint consumed a lot of the horse's physical strength.
The two most glorious victories of the country of Luo were brought about by these precious war horses.
Someone asked in a loud voice unwillingly: "Prince, is this going to be withdrawn?"
In another moment, it can even completely defeat this battalion of Qin troops.
They trampled to death in chaos more than we have ever killed. ”
Luo Ji hurriedly said: "It's been a long delay, this big camp can't stay any longer, you can rush out and look for opportunities again!" ”
The reinforcements of the Qin people came faster than expected, and outside the camp, there were torches everywhere, reflecting the night as if it were day.
Luo Ji glanced at it and couldn't help laughing out loud, the heavy infantry of the Qin people might have been too cumbersome to wear armor, so they didn't come along!
Only light infantry with spears and swords and leather armor came over, didn't they look for death?
Luo Ji waved his sword and laughed: "Crush them!" ”
————
The Battle of Qinluo was analyzed from the perspective of military technology and military tactics, and the biggest effect was to allow the cavalry to completely enter the war stage.
After Luo used cavalry to ravage the Qin army again and again, the use of cavalry quickly became a necessary ability for famous generals.
For the next 2,000 years, cavalry has always been one of the main forces on the battlefield, thanks to its powerful mobility, it has changed the situation of warfare countless times.
It was not until the advent of firearms that the era of cavalry came to an end. -- Military Development in Ancient China
