"Damn it!" Le Cheng suddenly looked at the crossbow army in the distance that was shooting arrows at him. Ma Shan swept away all the Qin troops in front of him and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and kill."
After saying that, Le Cheng stepped up his horse's belly and rushed toward the crossbow corps.
The blood-red light extended ten feet from the horse's pole, splitting the Qin army commander in two in the middle. The rich evil spirit enveloped Lecheng. Every time he waved, several Qin soldiers died under the pole.
A large gap was opened in the Qin army in an instant. Countless Zhao troops poured in from the gap, expanding the gap continuously, and then followed Le Cheng to kill the Qin army's crossbow corps.
The Qin army was killed and retreated steadily, and no one was an enemy of Le Cheng Yihe.
Bai Qi's face was gloomy, and his eyes exuded endless cold light. He ordered the Qin army to spread out to both sides and let the Youyun cavalry in to fight. Then he ordered the Guanzhong army to move back and block the retreat of the Youyun cavalry.
"Throwing thorns!"
A Qin army rushed over from the rear. Without saying a word, they threw black thorns at Youyun Iron Cavalry.
Looking at the inconspicuous little thing on the ground, Le Cheng felt infinite chill in his heart and almost subconsciously ordered to stop.
But how could the running army stop at the drop of a hat? The war horses were running wildly. When the horses' hoofs fell, the weight of the horses, the weight of the cavalry, and the weight of the armor all fell on the horses' hoofs.
Even with the protection of the horse's iron hooves, the caltrops still pierced the horseshoe effortlessly. Under the influence of inertia, the war horse ran forward for a few steps, and then suddenly fell to the ground. Its four hooves were already covered with iron caltrops. , the cavalry on their backs rolled down, and before they could react, they were killed by the Qin army that rushed forward.
Looking at the tragic death of Zhao Jun, Le Cheng's eyes were splitting with anger, and endless anger burned in his heart. He angrily ordered: "Charge over!"
It is impossible to turn back. If it is an ordinary cavalry, there is still a possibility of turning back. However, both soldiers and horses of Youyun Iron Cavalry are wearing armor, and hundreds of kilograms of weight are placed on the horses. Even if they turn a corner, the horse Legs may be broken.
Fortunately, the area covered by the iron caltrops is not wide. As long as Zhao Jun pays a certain price, it is not impossible to rush over.
"Haha!" The Qin army general glanced at Lecheng with a sneer, and quickly led his men to retreat from both sides. Immediately afterwards, another Qin army appeared, throwing the iron caltrops behind them on the path that Youyun Cavalry must pass.
Soon, the third Qin army appeared, holding in their hands no longer iron caltrops, but piles of horse guns. The cold spears were fixed on the crossbar. The tips of the spears were pointed at the Zhao army, exuding endless energy. of chill.
The Qin army stood behind the horse guns, holding spears, waiting for the Zhao army to rush over.
"Kill!" Jingtian led the Guanzhong Army to surround him from behind. Looking at the blocked Zhao Army, he let out an extremely hearty laugh, waving his weapon and slashing at the Zhao Army, "Zhao Dog, go to hell!"
There are pursuers behind and interceptions in front.
Le Cheng calmed down in his heart. His talent slowly opened up and was stimulated to the extreme. A layer of blood-red luster appeared on the originally pure black aura of the Youyun Iron Cavalry, and everyone had a look of determination in their eyes.
"Kill!" Le Cheng roared, and the aura of the Youyun Iron Cavalry suddenly vibrated and condensed into a whole, almost tearing apart the Qin Army's war clouds. The war horses galloped towards the Qin Army without any hesitation.
The next moment, the horse's hooves hit the ground, the earth roared, and the iron caltrops were stepped into the deep soil. The speed of Youyun Iron Cavalry did not slow down at all, and it hit the horse-rejecting gun with an overwhelming momentum.
Click!
Under the huge impact force, the horse-rejecting gun broke instantly and was then trampled to pieces. The speed of Youyun Iron Cavalry slowed down slightly, but soon increased again.
"Youyun Iron Cavalry, I am invincible!" Le Cheng roared, and waved his horse from top to bottom. A terrifying light dozens of feet long appeared in front of the Qin army, shining like a bright sun, covering the entire sky.
boom!
The light exploded, and all the rebels along the way were torn into powder, along with the Qin army behind them.
Le Cheng looked back and saw that the Youyun Iron Cavalry had lost almost one-fifth, but its morale was not affected at all. Instead, the evil aura on its body became thicker. Everyone saw
Xiang Qin Jun's eyes were full of fanaticism.
"Brothers, do you still have the strength to fight?" Le Cheng asked loudly.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" all the soldiers shouted.
"Kill!" Lecheng's general Ma Shan pointed forward and rushed over again. The Qin army was overturned and fell under the hooves of Zhao Jun's horses.
"Miscalculation!" Bai Qi sighed in his heart. He had overestimated the combat effectiveness of Youyun Iron Cavalry as much as possible, but in the end he found that he still underestimated it. Even the cavalry's nemesis iron caltrops and horse-rejecting spears were ineffective against Youyun Iron Cavalry. It was instantly crushed by the powerful impact.
The arrangement that was absolutely perfect for other cavalry was unexpectedly broken by Youyun Cavalry.
"Perhaps our Qin country also needs such a legion!" Bai Qi thought in his mind that anyone who saw such a legion would be moved, but Bai Qi then put it out of his mind.
Even if it is formed, that will be a matter of the future.
The challenge now is how to win this battle.
If Qin is defeated in this battle, it is hard to say whether the country will have the strength to form such an army in the future.
"Shrink the formation and send Fei Lian's army to block Zhao Jun's Youyun Cavalry." Bai Qi finally decided to send out Fei Lian's army. None of the other legions could stop the Youyun Cavalry.
On the other side, Touman almost encountered the same situation as Lecheng. Looking at the caltrops and the horse-rejecting spear lying in front of him, Touman's heart tightened. He reined in the horse almost by instinct and made an arc in front of the caltrops. Kill towards the left.
The most important thing for this Zhao army, who were born from the Huns, was their riding skills. They relied on riding skills to survive. Such a short distance was completely impossible for others to react to, but it was enough for them.
Following Touman's order, all the cavalry reacted at the same time, wiping the iron caltrops formation to attack the other side of the Qin army.
"Bah, you still want to trick your grandfather and me." Touman spat at Qin Jun.
Many soldiers behind him followed Touman's example and spat at the Qin army, which made the Qin army furious and kept shooting arrows at them.
"General, the flag has moved." At this time, a guard reminded.
Touman quickly turned back and looked in the direction of Shuai Qi, "Kill to the left and front? Where is the Qin army in the left and front? Huh?"
Touman suddenly looked at the Qiang cavalry behind the Qin army.
He attacked the right wing of the Qin Army, which was the left side for the Zhao Army. There was no Qin Army on the left. If there was, there was only a cavalry regiment hiding behind who didn't know what to do!
"I heard from your Majesty that Bai Qi is a famous general in the world, so he shouldn't leave such an army behind." Touman was a little confused.
Ten thousand cavalry is a force that can change the direction of a war on any battlefield. Not to mention famous generals, even ordinary people cannot ignore it.
What Touman didn't know was that what Bai Qi was afraid of was the Qiang's power to change the direction of the war.
He has been cheated by his pig teammates too many times. Before he was confident enough, he would rather give up some power to eliminate the hidden dangers of his pig teammates.
"There must be a conspiracy here, it's better to be careful." Touman is not a person with well-developed limbs and simple mind. On the contrary, he is impulsive when he should be impulsive and cautious when he should be cautious.
Touman led the Zhao army to approach the Qiang cavalry. He first washed the ground with arrows, and then prepared to observe from the side before deciding whether to engage in close combat. At this moment, the Qiang cavalry suddenly turned around and ran away!
"General, it seems that this is not the Qin army, but the Qiang cavalry!" said one of the guards.
"Qiangqi! Chase me!" Touman suddenly realized. No wonder Bai Qi threw this group of people aside.
In the past few months, Man has been studying with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo would not hide anything from him. Sometimes he would ask him for his opinion. If what he said was right, Zhao Kuo would praise him. If what he said was wrong, Zhao Kuo would praise him. Kuo will correct his mistakes.
During this period, Touman often heard Zhao Kuo criticize the Qiang cavalry. Although the Xiongnu used to advance when it was advantageous and then retreat when it was not, the Xiongnu still had two or three capable legions, and they also had nominal single troops. Yu, Shanyu's words are still very useful when speaking to the outside world.
Qiang cavalry is
A pile of loose sand cannot hold up the wall at all.
If they were fighting for the Qiang people, they could barely have some cohesion, but the Qiang cavalry were fighting for the Qin State, so how could they devote themselves wholeheartedly.
When the Qiang cavalry saw Zhao Jun chasing after them, they retreated quickly.
This time they did not have any psychological burden. Bai Qi's order was to let them wander outside to look for opportunities. If the Qin army defeated the Zhao army, they would pursue the victory. If the Qin army was defeated, they would avoid fighting.
What they have to do now is to avoid war and preserve their vitality.
"You still want to escape, speed up!" Touman shouted.
The speed of the army behind them instantly increased a lot. Everyone's eyes were full of fire and they kept shooting arrows at the Qiang cavalry.
Killing a Qiang cavalry has the same military merit as killing a Qin army, but everyone knows that the Qin army is far more difficult to kill than the Qiang cavalry. It can be said that the two are not on the same level of difficulty.
Now that the naked military exploits are before them, how could they let it go!
"Kill the Qiang cavalry, achieve military merit, get a reward, and get a wife!" Zhao Jun shouted excitedly. At this time, the Qiang cavalry were no longer enemies in their eyes, but coins, houses, and pieces of land. Every beautiful wife.
"Fuck, why are they chasing us so hard? How about we turn around and fight them." A Qiang rider said loudly.
"Fight for your life! If you die in the battle, someone will snatch your wife, live in your house, spend your money, and beat your children." The companion held him tightly, hating that iron cannot be made into steel. said.
"Fuck, let's not fight anymore." All the murderous aura on the Qiang cavalry in front disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a hurried escape.
"Besides, we are Qiang people. Zhao is the enemy of Qin, but not our enemy. There is no need for us to fight for the Qin people. It is better to send people to ask for help from Lord Wu'an." The companion said.
Bai Qi saw it when Touman led the pursuit of Qiang cavalry, but he had no idea of sending troops to support.
If the Qiang cavalry did not escape, but chose to fight, he would definitely send troops to support him, and at the same time, he would cultivate and train the Qiang cavalry well in the next time.
But the Qiangqi immediately chose to escape instead of fighting, so there was no need to save him.
Being able to hold back an elite cavalry unit of the Zhao army and reduce some pressure on the Qin army has already been fully utilized.
"After such a long period of training, the Qiang cavalry is still the same as before, a bunch of mud that can't hold up the wall!" Bai Qi sighed and quickly figured out the problem.
The Qiang people could never truly fight for Qin.
Not to mention the Qiang people, even the proletarians of the Qin State would not fight desperately on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, those who fight the most bravely and are willing to fight are usually the sons of good families. They have houses, land, wives and children, and a fixed output at home. Although their lives are not rich, they have enough food and clothing for their wives and children. No worries.
Or there are criminals with family members who hope to atone for the sins of their relatives by performing meritorious deeds.
These two types of people have one thing in common, that is, they care, or in other words, they have something in Qin's hands.
The people who are least likely to risk their lives are those who are alone, their parents are dead, they are single, and they have no wife or children. Qin Fa's harshness has little deterrent effect on these people.
Qin State severely cracked down on this kind of people.
The Qiang cavalry corresponded to this kind of people in the Qin State. Their wives and children were in the Qiang tribe and not in the Qin State. Naturally, they had no control over the Qin State.
Although the Qiang Cavalry agreed to help Qin fight, they themselves cherished their lives, which caused the Qiang Cavalry to stop moving forward once they encountered danger.
This isn’t something that can only be solved through training.
If you want the Qiang cavalry to fight for the Qin State, either the Qin State will provide enough rewards, or the Qiang people will be moved into the Qin State, and you will have control over the Qiang cavalry.
But it was impossible for Qin to do both of these methods.
Zhao Guodong overthrew the Huns, turned them into prisoners, and then spent several years fighting
Wear away the wildness of these people, give them some hope, and use military merit to attract them to fight.
The Qin State did not destroy the Qiang people. The Qiang cavalry and the Qin army were equal.
The farmland and houses rewarded by the Qin Dynasty's meritorious service are not attractive to the Qiang cavalry at all. Firstly, they cannot farm, and secondly, they are not Qin people, so what is the use of farmland?
Unless Qin turns the rewards into money and food, and raises them to a level that makes them work hard.
But in this case, the Qin army officers and soldiers should have opinions again.
They had sacrificed their lives for the Qin State to get a small reward. If they made a small mistake, most of them would be fined and their land would be taken back after their death.
If the Qiang cavalry's reward is greater than theirs, who can agree?
The military merit system cannot be destroyed, and Qin State cannot afford to let these soldiers down.
This makes the matter unsolvable.
The only way to get the Qiang cavalry to contribute was in Bai Qi's order: the Qin army defeated the Zhao army, and then sent the Qiang cavalry to pursue it. Seeing that there was a profit to be made, the Qiang cavalry would naturally pursue it.
But now the Qin army is not only unable to defeat the Zhao army, but is also at a disadvantage in the constant battles, and the Qiang cavalry are even less likely to contribute.
Seeing Fei Lian's army rushing towards him, Le Cheng did not choose to fight head-on. A wave of arrows washed the ground towards Fei Lian's army, and then led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to kill another legion. Fei Lian's army was powerful, but It doesn't change the fact that the legs are short. After all, two legs can't run as fast as six legs.
