"Now that we have tested the opponent's ability, let's not hide it. If we continue to show weakness, they will find out!" Bai Qi suddenly started joking, perhaps because the battle went smoothly and everything went as he expected. Looking around, or maybe finally seeing clearly the opponent's ability.
"Instruction: The whole army will defend with all strength, let Zhao Jun see the true strength of our Qin army. We must inflict greater damage on Zhao Jun and force Zhao Jun to speed up the crossing of the river."
"Promise!" All the generals agreed.
Immediately, in the Qin army's camp, the drums started beating again.
When the camp gate was wide open, a cavalry team was like a winding black snake, spitting out a black core, whistling and attacking the Zhao army outside the barrier.
The gate of the barrier suddenly opened just before the cavalry arrived, and the tacit cooperation immediately caught the Zhao army outside by surprise. With just one charge, hundreds of Zhao troops fell under the sword of the Qin army's cavalry.
The Qin army's cavalry, which had just tasted the sweetness, immediately launched an attack on the temporary base established by the Zhao army on the west bank.
The cavalry whizzing by did not give Zhao Jun any time to react. Like a gust of wind, they fired a shower of arrows and then flew away, making Zhao Jun who had just finished preparing very angry.
"Cavalry attack!" Sun Gu, who was commanding on the battlefield, immediately ordered: "Let the people of Qin understand clearly who is the king of cavalry."
"No!" A school captain on the side immediately took the order and left.
Soon, a sudden force emerged from the Zhao army's camp, intercepting the Qin army who was about to turn around and fire another round.
There is no other way. When facing infantry, the cavalry can use its speed advantage to tease and massacre. But when facing the cavalry, it can only rely on true strength - whose horse is faster, whose bow is accurate, whose sword profit……
The cavalry leader of the Qin army was obviously a man who knew how to fight. The cavalry of the Zhao army had already gone out to fight, and he knew that he could not be trapped, otherwise he would inevitably fall into a pincer attack by the Zhao army's cavalry. Then he lightly pinched the horse's belly with his feet, no longer slowing down and turning around, but accelerated forward in an attempt to use speed to widen the distance between him and Zhao Jun's cavalry.
It is a pity that the Zhao army's cavalry is not inferior to the Qin army in terms of history and scale. Especially when they have fought against the Hu people for many years, the Zhao army's cavalry is as famous as the most elite Qin Ruishi in the Qin state.
Although Zhao Kuo did not send his ace Zhao Bianqi in this battle, even without the presence of Zhao Bianqi, the Zhao army's cavalry still had to overpower the Qin army as a whole.
This is not only reflected in the equestrian skills of Zhao Jun's cavalry, but also in Zhao Jun's military horses. Although the Qin State annexed many nomadic peoples and even used Yiqu Grassland as a horse breeding land, it was not as good as the vast grassland in the north of Zhao State.
Whether it's because of the horses or the difference in horse control skills, in short, the Zhao army's cavalry is gradually approaching the Qin army's cavalry.
Seeing that they were about to enter the range of the bow and arrow, the leader of the Qin army looked at it and thought, this is okay, isn't this a living target for the Zhao army!
Immediately, there was a turn in front, and the army circled around and headed towards Zhao Jun!
"Ha!" The leader of the Zhao army naturally understood the intention of the Qin army. He wanted to fight with his bow and arrow, but he couldn't fight with his horse's speed.
"If you can't fight with the speed of a horse, you can fight with a bow and arrow?" Captain Zhao sneered, then slightly adjusted the angle of the army's advance, and continued to charge towards the Qin army.
The leader of the Qin army was secretly happy when he saw that Zhao Jun was so on the road.
"Who is not the overlord of the grassland?" The leader of the Qin Army laughed wildly in his heart: "Let you see how we conquered the Yiqu Grassland!"
In this way, the two most powerful cavalry armies in the world took the lead in a sword fight on the battlefield of Changping. The dark ink snakes and the fiery red flames erupted into a not too large scale battle by a stretch of clear water. The big showdown.
The generals of both sides were full of confidence in their cavalry. After all, in the previous battles, due to the terrain, neither side had dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry.
Of course, this cavalry battle was just an appetizer compared to the entire Changping Battle, and the combined troops invested by both sides were only thirty to forty thousand.
"Let go!" The cavalry leaders of the Qin and Zhao armies ordered to fire almost simultaneously.
The buzzing sound of bowstrings constantly echoed in the space;
With a swish of arrows, arrows were shot straight at the enemy, followed by bursts of wailing sounds.
From a glance, the fallen soldiers and horses of the two armies were almost the same.
However, in such a seemingly "evenly matched" battle, the Qin army actually failed.
Without him, the Qin army would have thousands more personnel.
The Qin army obviously used a higher and denser arrow rain to offset the more precise arrow rain of the Zhao army.
It is a pity that the two armies can no longer care about so much, because in the process of the rain of arrows attacking each other, the distance between the two sides is constantly getting closer.
The bow and arrow in his hand were already behind his back after being fired twice in a row. At such a distance, it was obvious that the small crossbow in his hand was more deadly.
The small crossbows in his hands were fired immediately, and with a thud, several rows of soldiers from both sides fell to the ground. Because of the distance, it didn't matter how accurate the attack was, so the Qin army had the upper hand again.
However, the surviving soldiers had no time to rejoice or rejoice. As soon as the small crossbow was inserted in their hands, the long sword (sword) on their waist was already in hand.
"Ding ding..."
The swords struck each other, and you cut off the enemy's arm, and then stretched out a long spear from nowhere to take your own life. After just one encounter, the battlefield was filled with broken arms and limbs.
Fortunately, the galloping horses quickly separated the two armies.
Before the leader of the Qin army had time to see clearly his gains and losses, the sound of "ding-dong-dang-dang-dang" gold could be heard from the barrier.
"Retreat at the sound of gold." This is the iron law on the battlefield.
The leader of the Qin army obviously did not dare to disobey the general. He immediately spat in the direction of the Zhao army and said viciously: "You are lucky."
Then he led the remaining Qin troops back to the barrier.
Zhao Jun's cavalry captain did not pursue them. On the one hand, they had more important tasks. On the other hand, they were close to the fortress wall without the support of infantry. Obviously, they could only become the target of the Qin army's crossbows.
The reason why the Qin army paid the gold and retreated was naturally because Wang Hao had discovered that his cavalry was weak in the battle with the Zhao army's cavalry. Although relying on the numerical advantage, they temporarily defeated the Zhao army's cavalry, but once the Zhao army's cavalry was defeated, If the reinforcements keep up, or as the troops are depleted, the family will definitely suffer.
At the same time, Zhao Jun's west bank team has been prepared and will soon attack the barrier. Once Zhao Jun blocks the gate of the barrier, it will be difficult to recover the cavalry at that time.
Of course, the most important thing is that the significance of acting this time is greater than actual combat, and its purpose - to attract Zhao Jun into the game has been achieved. If the battle continues, it will only increase losses.
