Chapter 465: Strange Cavalry
In Xianyang Palace, since Qin Xun started the war, every day there will be military intelligence from the front line sent to Xianyang Palace, Qin Wangzheng does not want to remotely control the army on the front line in this way, micro manipulation of such a thing, Qin Wangzheng knew from a very young age that he could not do it.
In terms of the formulation of the marching strategy, he will consult with his own generals, but in the specific implementation process, Qin Wangzheng will retreat into the background, although Qin Wangzheng is confident, and even sometimes can be called conceited, but in his self-confidence or conceit, there is more reason, he knows what he can do, what he can't interfere with.
On an ordinary day in April, a military newspaper from Donghuan City presented Qin Wangzheng's bookcase, side by side with the military newspaper from Wang Qian's army, looking at the two handwriting with different styles on it, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but smile.
Wang Qian, who has always sought stability in battle, chose the seemingly craziest way in this battle, and Yang Ming, who moved the world with his courage and diligence, chose the seemingly most secure way in this battle, I have to say that the contrast between them is really interesting, of course, Qin Wangzheng saw that what he saw was not just interesting, but more thinking after this abnormality.
"Sun Tzu once said in the chapter of the Art of War that the soldier is like water, the water line avoids the high and tends to the bottom, and the form of the soldier avoids the real and hits the void; The water is controlled by the land, and the soldiers are defeated by the enemy. Therefore, the army is impermanent, and the water is impermanent. Those who can win due to the change of the enemy are called gods. Qin Wangzheng muttered to himself.
Zhao Gao and Li Si, who were beside him, listened respectfully.
"Everyone in the world praises Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, as the god of the military array, but how can the widowed general and the captain of the protector army not be the god of the battle array?" King Qin's political road.
"Congratulations to the king, sixteen years must be the year of the destruction of Zhao." Zhao Gao, as an internal servant, naturally doesn't need to pay attention to any discipline, he naturally says what he wants in terms of sycophancy, he doesn't have to think too much, he doesn't have to worry about the possibility of damaging his own personality, don't you see Li Si still thinking about how to answer? But the opportunity has been snatched away by Zhao Gao in advance.
"Huh? Zhao Gao: When did you learn the divination skills of the Yin and Yang family? Qin Wangzheng asked Zhao Gao, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood at this time, and it was obvious that what Zhao Gao said was exactly what he liked to hear.
"The king, the minister's qualifications are dull, and he can't learn the divination skills of the Yin and Yang family." Hearing the ease between Qin Wangzheng's words, Zhao Gao knew that what he had just said was right.
"And how do you know?" Qin Wangzheng asked.
"The king told me just now." Zhao Gao said with a smile.
"What did the widow tell you?" Qin Wangzheng, who was in a good mood at this time, naturally had a little leisure and amused Zhao Gao.
Zhao Guo, he is finally about to disappear from this world, if there is one country that Qin Wangzheng hates the most among the six countries in the world, it is definitely Zhao Guo, not only because of the childhood he spent in Zhao State, but also because it was Zhao State that made him experience the taste of defeat for the first time, and the two reasons added together, so that Qin Wangzheng had enough reason to hate Zhao State.
"As the king said, Li Mu of Zhao is the god of the military array, and the general and the captain of the army are not the gods of the battle array, and the two gods of the battle array are invincible against the god of the previous military array." Zhao Gao replied.
"You're cunning." Qin Wangzheng smiled indifferently, and he recognized Zhao Gao's statement.
Li Si looked at the scene in front of him, and there was a faint feeling of regret in his heart, Fang Cai's scruples were too much, and he was reserved for a while, and he missed an opportunity in vain, allowing Zhao Gao to grab such a good opportunity.
When Qin Wangzheng in the Xianyang Palace had already seen the hope of victory, the Qin North Road Army in the territory of Zhao State had already begun to prepare for a decisive battle.
At the end of April of the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, on the vast plain under the Taihang Mountain, more than 200,000 troops from both Qin and Zhao walked out of the camp in the early morning sunshine.
A full 250,000 soldiers and horses gathered on the battlefield, between the banners and waves, it can be described as boundless, countless swords, guns, swords and halberds reflect the faint cold light under the rising sun, the two most powerful legions in the world will be on the land of Zhao State, on the performance of the world's most cruel and heroic scene, they decide the life and death of countless people, determine the life and death of Zhao State, and even the general trend of the whole world.
In this battle, if the Zhao army is defeated, the Zhao state will die, and since then there is no army in the world that can stop the footsteps of the Qin army.
"The Qin army really lives up to its reputation, and in such a short period of time, it can integrate the county soldiers from several counties to such a seamless point." In the large array of the Zhao army, Li Mu, who was standing on a lookout, looked at the large array of the Qin army opposite, and the solemn color in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a high-spirited fighting spirit.
Solemnity only exists before the war, Li Mu at that time needed to think about many things, but now that he has entered the battlefield, Li Mu no longer needs to think about other things, now he only needs to think about one thing, that is, to defeat the Qin army and win the battlefield war.
"This is about to be a decisive battle, there is no so-called strategy of the art of war at all, there is only a strong attack?" In the Qin army's main formation, Li Xin looked at the almost boundless Qin and Zhao army, and was at a loss for a moment.
Qin Wangzheng threw him into Yang Ming's army, although it was to punish him for his defeat in the last year's war, but also so that he could learn something from Yang Ming.
Li Xin also kept this in mind, and after coming to Yu Linwei under Yang Ming, it can be said that he was careful to observe and study hard, but now, just when he thought that Yang Ming and Li Mu, the two of the two famous generals who were almost the most capable in the world, would perform a thrilling duel, the two of them unanimously chose such an almost simple and rude way, and directly launched the army, and they were about to have a decisive battle.
Could it be that I didn't win because I wasn't reckless enough? Li Xin subconsciously thought, but then even he felt ridiculous, and then quickly gathered his mind, at this time, he couldn't be distracted, right now, thinking about anything is useless, only a war word.
In the midst of the military drums, the large formations of the two armies of Qin and Zhao began to change slowly, and they all made offensive postures.
In this decisive battle, both the Qin army and the Zhao army made the same choice and chose to attack.
Zhao Guobian cavalry is famous all over the world, but the upper counties of Qin, Beidi, and Longxi counties are also the main sources of Qin cavalry, and Qin's cavalry is also a rare force in the world.
In the left camp of the Zhao army, as the commander of the left army of the Zhao army, Sima Shang looked at the Qin army formation from afar while transferring troops and generals.
And, why three rides in parallel? What are they going to do? Sima Shang, who thought that he had lived in the north of Zhao for a long time, and although his understanding and use of cavalry was not as good as that of a god of military formations like Li Mu, he was also an excellent general, and he felt a strange feeling for a while, and after the weirdness, he was a little uneasy.
On the decisive battlefield of more than 200,000 troops, the battle line stretched for nearly 30 miles, and on such a large battlefield, it was impossible for the main generals of both sides to command the whole field at the same time, so it was inevitable to divide the army into battles, and Sima Shang became the chief general of the left army of the Zhao army under such circumstances.
In view of the superiority of the total strength of the Qin army, Li Mu's strategy was to take the heavy infantry as the core on the two wings, supplemented by light cavalry, not to seek a big victory, but to stabilize the front, while the elite of the Zhao army's side cavalry concentrated on the middle road, striving to obtain the advantage of the middle road in the shortest possible time, and then with the rapid mobility of the side cavalry, the advantage of the middle road was continuously expanded, and the small amount was added up, and then the victory of the entire battlefield was achieved.
Under such an arrangement, the combat power of the left army of the Zhao army is relatively the weakest, and it is precisely because of this that Li Mu will make Sima Shang the chief general of the left army, because he is the most at ease with Sima Shang.
But right now, can I really hold it off until I get the advantage in the middle? For the first time, Sima Shang had doubts about himself, it was really the three thousand cavalry that had never been seen before that appeared in the vanguard of the Qin army, which gave him a feeling of pressure in the mystery.
But at present, the two armies are extremely close, but Sima Shang has no chance to hesitate at all, as the so-called two armies meet the brave wins, the distance between the two armies is less than a thousand steps, how can there be any chance of hesitation, only to fight with strength, with wisdom to promote force.
With the sound of the drums of the Qin army's march, the Zhao army's left formation was the sound of suppressed breathing, the cavalry of the Qin army, which had never appeared, made these battle-hardened Zhao soldiers in the front row feel the pressure, although they may not know how to march and fight, although they may not have learned the art of war, but the wisdom of survival and fighting between the battle formations has already turned into the instinct of the body, but, at this moment, they feel a trace of unease in their intuition.
In the midst of holding his breath, it was the sound of the overall hooves of the Qin army's forward cavalry stepping on the ground, and under the armor of the men and horses, the weight of the war horse was doubled, and the sense of oppression from the metal was even stronger.
"Attack." As the Qin army continued to approach the front of the Zhao army, the speed of the Qin army's forward heavy cavalry became faster and faster, like a landslide and a crack in the ground, rushing towards the main formation of the left army of the Zhao army.
"Such an impact, even Wei Wushu at his peak may not be able to block it." Although Sima Shang had never seen the Qin army's strange cavalry, which was heavily armored and connected by chains, he could roughly judge that when the infantry array collided with such a heavy cavalry, it would be difficult to stop it.
