Chapter 120: Seeking Life and Avoiding Death
This military horse pressed the cavalry, and was directly used as a stepping stone by the heavy cavalry that could not be reined in behind, and was trampled to death countless times at once, Xue Yutang glanced at the smiling thirteen princes, and sighed in his heart that it was worthy of being the elite troops of the pre-Qin Empire, and the position of the crossbow arrow landed was calculated so accurately, from the very beginning, Wang Heng had been brought into his rhythm by the thirteen princes, so for Wang Heng, he was already doomed to failure.
At this time, less than one-third of the heavy cavalry remained, and the spear and heavy armor soldiers following behind were originally slow, and the distance between the heavy cavalry and the spear and heavy armor soldiers was getting longer and longer, and the speed of the spear and heavy armor soldiers could not rise, so it dragged down the light armor soldiers behind.
Originally, Wang Heng's calculation was very good, the heavy cavalry used the defensive advantage in front to push away the defense of the thirteen princes, and the spear and heavy armor soldiers in the back followed closely behind, opening a road, which could make the largest number of light armored soldiers easily play a role, and use its fast characteristics to destroy the entire formation of the thirteen princes and make up for the disadvantage of their lack of heavy armor.
But he ignored an important factor, that is, the contrast between numbers and weapons is too great, his army has no way to fight positional warfare, if they can now take advantage of their small number in the jungle, easy to move, maybe there are still some opportunities to break through or escape, and then use the army of the Thirteen Princes to carry too much, not flexible enough to pull his battle line apart, concentrate on breaking through one by one, but there is still a few chances of winning, but the current situation is that he was brought into his rhythm by the Thirteen Princes, and directly fought against him according to the Thirteen Princes' style of play, then the result is self-evident。
The rest of the heavy cavalry slowed down significantly, and even a few horses rushed to both sides, and the Thirteenth Prince shook his head and told the herald to let go of the fleeing heavy cavalry and make way for him.
Xue Yutang was stunned for a moment when he heard the order of the Thirteen Princes, and then understood the intentions of the Thirteen Princes.
Yue Wuying just watched the excitement, and didn't understand why the Thirteen Princes let those people go, you must know that the battlefield pays attention to the pursuit of victory, Yin Sanniang doesn't care about this, she is more interested in the wine of the Thirteen Princes, and she is very happy to drink alone.
Yue Wuying doesn't understand, if it is Bai Linglong and Gao Feng here at a glance, you can see the intention of the thirteen princes at a glance, in one sentence that the lion fights the rabbit still needs to use all his strength, the two armies are fighting, not just blindly fighting, such a general must be a mediocre talent, a good general on the battlefield, the right time and place and people must be calculated, the so-called time is not as good as the location, the location is not as good as the people, the reason is that if the time is right, but the situation and terrain of the battlefield are not conducive to the army's actions or even more conducive to the enemy, no matter how right your timing is, it will not change the result, but if you can make the enemy discord and restrain each other, even if he stands on the right place, he can't play it, your disadvantages will change, and thus the outcome of the battlefield.
Now what the thirteen princes have done is to change people and be more beneficial to themselves, originally the banner of the two princes Yinghan and Wang Heng was that the second prince was framed, and the first emperor should be passed on to him, it was the third prince who deceived the first emperor, and even killed the first emperor and stole the throne, they are the teachers of justice, but with the appearance of Yue Fengcheng, this one has become shaky.
But fortunately, time is pressing, and the sergeants at the bottom have not had much time to react to this matter, Wang Heng began to order the troops, the reason why Wang Heng made such a big mistake, in addition to his own ability problem, on the other hand, the reason is that he has no time to re-plan how to march now, and the current situation on the battlefield If he fights hard, there is still a glimmer of life for himself, but if he leads the troops to escape, there is only one final result, that is, the soldiers rebelled, no matter what, the soldiers under his command are also soldiers of the pre-Qin Empire, without the three princes to bring troops to fight, Yue Fengcheng does not appear, everything is okay to sayAs long as he captures the Qinling Pass, then his strength will be unprecedentedly enhanced, and at that time, he will carry out a comprehensive rectification of the existing army, so that this group of people can die for themselves.
But now the result is that not only did he not even see the shadow of the Qinling Pass, but he was besieged by an army of 400,000, and there was no way out at all, and his soldiers were now facing a situation where treason would die, and this person's heart was unstable, and Wang Heng could only use the most inferior method to solve this problem.
Now the thirteen princes suddenly opened an opening to let go of the fleeing soldiers, which is equivalent to tearing a hole in the hearts of the soldiers of Wang Heng's army, as long as they escape or even surrender, the thirteen princes can let them go, which is equivalent to giving them hope of life, after all, like their group of traitors, they were originally weak in their hearts, and they originally had the determination to die, and there was a mentality of killing one to be enough, killing two to earn one, and now seeing a chance to survive, this is like a flood bursting the embankment, and quickly began to collapse.
For a while, except for the heavy cavalry who rushed too fast, the remaining spear heavy infantry, seeing that the thirteen princes got out of the way, fled in that direction one after another, losing their armor along the way, and didn't want anything, hoping that their father and mother would give them two legs.
The generals who led the army killed an unknown number of people, and they could not stop the crowd from escaping.
In the end, he reluctantly gave up, and continued to rush forward with a group of diehards, the second prince Yinghan sat on horseback and watched the situation, his face turned pale, he bit his lip tightly and did not say a word, he trembled all over, I don't know whether he was scared or angry, the original army of more than 80,000 people, at least 20,000 horses escaped at this time, and the remaining light infantry had just started, and some people had already begun to run there, if it weren't for the archers behind him who could still get the crossbow arrows, I am afraid that they would have escaped all of a sudden.
The heavy cavalry was already less than fifty meters away from the military camp of the Thirteen Princes, and as long as one impact came, there were still about a thousand heavy cavalry left in front of them.
Xue Yutang heard the crossbow archer behind him sound the order again: "Raise the arrow...... Adjust the height ....... Three...... Two....... One....... Put ......"
Xue Yutang suddenly felt that his mouth opened involuntarily, at such a close distance, the soldiers of the Pre-Qin Empire actually dared to use crossbow arrows, this is simply crazy, you must know that this crossbow arrow is not a missile in your own world, it has such an accurate accuracy, if you don't get this crossbow arrow right, not only will it not hurt the enemy, but it will also fall into your own army, and it will really be a joke at that time.
But soon Xue Yutang's mouth opened wider, rows of crossbow arrows fell from the sky, staggered, less than two meters away from the nearest position of the thirteen princes' military camp, but the thirteen princes' army stood there straight without moving, not even blinking their eyes, it can be seen that their trust in their own crossbow arrows, this rain of arrows in the sky, and even Xue Yutang saw that there were many different orders of falling, but it was the same place when it fell on the heavy cavalry, no matter how tightly the heavy armor was protected, there was always a place that could not be covered, and after a while, this heavy cavalry was injured by everyone, and there was no one intact。
When they rushed to the front of the army of the Thirteen Princes, in addition to the arrows and crossbows left on the ground, the shield soldiers of the Thirteen Princes' army quickly formed a labyrinth-like passage, and the horses of the heavy cavalry were forced into this passage by the shields of the slope, and they could not stop with the momentum and quickly rushed in.
In the gap between the shields, a huge sickle, intertwined with each other, the two ends of a pull like a big scissors, directly cut off the horse's hooves, in an instant people turned on their backs, the rest of the heavy cavalry that could rush to the barracks was not a standing, the shield of the army of the thirteen princes quickly flipped over, changed to a high and low anticline, and a spear pierced out of the shield.
The heavy cavalry that fell to the ground, due to the heavy armor, it was difficult to get up, plus the war horse pressed the legs, and there was no chance to get up, no matter how powerful the heavy armor was, a spear could not do anything, but everyone had dozens of spears on their bodies, and after a while, there was only blood all over the ground, and no living person could stand up anymore.
Xue Yutang raised his head and took a sip of wine, his face losing expression.
