Take a bow and shoot an arrow.
Done in one go.
The scouts were worthy of being among the elite of Zhao's cavalry, and the commander of the camp was even more brave and courageous. Like a conditioned reflex, the scout commander had already reacted the moment he saw the Qin army behind him.
With three "swish, swish, swish" sounds, the village commander actually fired three arrows in a row.
In response, there were three dull sounds of falling to the ground. At the same time, the Zhao Jun scouts beside the commander also reacted, either turning sideways or lying on their backs, and their bows and arrows were immediately filled.
The sharp arrows once again shot through the air towards the Qin army following them.
The sharp arrows either pierced the neck, hit the eye, or hit the forehead, all heading straight for the Qin army's life gate. The power of the Zhao army's elite scouts was evident.
Immediately, there were only "bang, bang, bang" and several more sounds of objects falling to the ground. The Qin army rushing at the front didn't even have time to wail a few times before being beaten by the superb riding and shooting skills of Zhao Jun's scouts. He fell to the ground and could no longer move.
However, one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.
Zhao Jun's scout commander tilted his head slightly and glanced out of the corner of his eye. Although there was no Qin army following him in the vicinity, the Qin army behind him was still accelerating towards his side.
Turning his head, the garrison commander looked at the road ahead again, and saw that all the soldiers had descended from the hills to the plain.
"Points!" the village chief yelled without any hesitation.
Immediately, the originally neat goose-shaped formation was divided into two, and charged towards the southeast and southwest.
Seeing that the Zhao army was about to divide its troops, the captain of the Qin army decisively ordered a bow and arrow suppression, trying to force the Zhao army to gather together with arrow rain.
A rain of arrows came from the sky, and several cavalrymen in Zhao Jun's scout camp immediately fell to the ground in response to the arrows. However, due to the distance, more arrows fell on the rear of Zhao Jun's cavalry, and they stabbed straight into the ground. In the soil.
Although Zhao Jun lost several combatants, his will to divide his troops did not waver at all. Under the pressure of Qin Jun, Zhao Jun successfully split into two. Without waiting for the Qin army to make corresponding adjustments again, the two divided Zhao army cavalry divided their troops again, each in units of troops, and divided into more than ten routes to run south.
Seeing this situation, the captain of the Qin Army couldn't help but feel disturbed.
He knew that the other party's division of troops in this way was tantamount to seeking its own destruction. When cavalry fights on the plains, the most taboo thing is to divide the troops.
During high-speed movement, air resistance no longer has a negligible effect. Especially at the position of the spearhead, it will bear the most wind resistance and consume the most energy. Therefore, during the march, someone needs to constantly be in the vanguard position to ensure that the army always advances at the fastest speed. (For details, please refer to the movie "Windbreaker")
Once the troops are divided, especially if they are divided into units, not only will they be unable to maintain high-speed rotation due to wind resistance, but as their personal physical strength declines and their arrows lose their accuracy, they will soon lose the ability to attack. (High-density arrow rain can ignore the problem of aiming).
It can be said that this order from the commander of the Zhao army is tantamount to sending most of his soldiers to a dead end, and even nine out of ten soldiers will die on the way to escape.
However, there are advantages to doing this, and the only advantage is that because the troops are divided into many directions, and personal thoughts are all kinds of strange, in the end, only one or two out of ten people will escape pursuit.
And those lucky ones out of ten are what the commander of the Zhao army wants. Even as the commander of the whole camp, he doesn't care at all that those twelve out of ten will not have any hope of their own.
The cruelty of his heart, the firmness of his faith, the consequences of his fate, and the speed of his actions all made the captain of the Qin Army mourn.
Although he knew that it was impossible to annihilate all the Zhao army scouts, the Qin army captain did not give up because of this: Zhao army can be so courageous in the face of desperate situations, and we, the Qin army officers, will not yield in the face of impossibility.
Immediately, the captain of the Qin Army also immediately made adjustments, raised flags, and ordered his subordinates to pursue separately.
However, the Qin army had many troops, and although the order to divide the troops was quick, it was not as fast as the Zhao army's movement. Under an order, even the most elite army will inevitably need to react, and this delay of one or two minutes immediately turns into a dozen steps on the battlefield. The distance of more than ten steps became an opportunity for Zhao Jun to escape.
The Qin army here began to divide and pursue, and the Zhao army over there changed its formation again. Even the minimum "corps" formation was no longer needed. Dozens of people divided into dozens of directions and fled in all directions.
As the team disbanded, Zhao Jun also completely fell into the "escape" sequence.
The rations and flags were immediately left behind. Then, the long bows and arrows were broken and thrown to the road. Then, the armor and helmets were also thrown aside. Finally, even the arrows were thrown aside. The long knife in his hand was ruthlessly thrown away by Zhao Jun.
In horse battles, especially in pursuit battles, bows and arrows are obviously more important than swords and are also the more commonly used self-defense weapons. But in the end, more soldiers still regard the long sword as their most intimate weapon and the final guarantee.
And with the discarding of the long knife, it also obviously meant that Zhao Jun had completely given up all possibility of resistance. And the purpose of this can only be one: to do everything possible to reduce the weight of the horses, in order to escape the pursuit of the Qin army.
Of course, even in a defeated battle, it is rare for someone to abandon their armor and even their life-saving sword. Even if their direction had not been towards the Zhao army camp in the south, one would have thought that they were completely escaping from the battlefield.
Although the Qin army was a little surprised by the Zhao army's "abandoning their armor", they were mentally prepared to completely divide their troops and flee. Immediately, the Qin army also divided its troops and fled again.
The clatter of horse hooves echoed in the wilderness.
In front of them was a single horseman of the Zhao army, wildly waving his long whip, followed by dozens or even dozens of Qin soldiers in hot pursuit, with a few arrows coming from time to time.
No matter how hard Zhao Jun's soldiers struggled and became more ruthless, they could not resist the law of nature - manpower will eventually be exhausted.
As time went by, blocked by the wind, Zhao Jun, who was fleeing in front, could not help but be careless due to the lack of physical strength of the horses, or after a long period of concentration, and finally fell into a disadvantageous position.
The Qin army behind them was still chasing closely, and from time to time, Zhao Jun's scouts were killed by the Qin army's arrows. After completing their pursuit mission, the Qin army fiddled with the horse's head a little, and then pursued the nearby Zhao army. go.
There were pursuers behind them, and they intercepted them in front and behind. The consequences for Zhao's soldiers can be imagined. Like dominoes, as the first Zhao pawn fell, more and more Zhao pawns were surrounded and killed.
The four hooves are vigorous, the new mud is splashing,
The rain of arrows is urgent, and the cold light is dotted,
Suddenly, hot blood spilled into the blue sky,
Only a touch of bright red remains between heaven and earth.
