Of course, in fact, the Qin army does not need to worry too much about this. After all, the armor can be put on again, but the combat power will not be greatly increased because of one piece of armor. After all, no matter how good the weapon is, it requires corresponding tactics to exert its maximum power. Obviously, the subsequent Zhao Jun cavalry did not have much real contact with the tactics and tactics of the fine armored cavalry.
But even so, as the ballistas and Zhao's armored cavalry were killed one after another, the Qin army would still fall into panic and passivity.
Ying Xi, who was approaching the battlefield, certainly understood this truth, and he also knew that Zhao Jun had already made a fatal move. If this continues, the Qin Army will inevitably be defeated by Zhao Jun, and he will have to fight hard!
"Send the order, the light cavalry will attack during the interval between the crossbows and crossbows, blocking the path of the Zhao army's heavy cavalry."
"promise!"
What does it mean? After the crossbow was fired, the light cavalry immediately charged forward and used a suicidal charge to slow down the impact of Zhao Jun's armored cavalry until they stopped completely!
It sounds simple and wonderful, isn’t it! Exchange the light cavalry for the fine armored cavalry, and you won’t lose any blood!
But if you imagine trying to hold up a speeding car with a human body, you'll understand the problem.
It’s not one for one, nor three for one, but five for one, or even ten for one!
After receiving the order, the captain of the Qin Army was obviously stunned. His light cavalry collided with the armored cavalry. Isn't this looking for death?
But obviously, this is not a joke, but a real order to exchange the lives of soldiers for the lives of ballistas.
There was nothing more to say. The leaping horse took the lead, and the captain immediately led his cavalry to guard in front of the crossbow.
"Buzz!" Che Nu roared.
"First team up!" Almost at the same time, the captain gave the order.
Almost at the same time as the crossbow roared, a group of light cavalry roared out and rushed towards Zhao Jun's armored cavalry!
The crossbow killed one of the heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry behind him rushed up again. How could the armored cavalry who had dodged the crossbow notice the oncoming light cavalry?
"Bump, bump, bump..." He easily knocked away several Qingqi.
However, the war horses were in pain and could not help but slow down. It should be noted that when the armored cavalry slowed down, their magical powers were reduced by more than half. Even if they could withstand a few more swords, they could not withstand the large number of light cavalry. They would be chopped down. Several of them were also seriously injured.
The ants kill the elephant, that's what they say!
What's even more dangerous is that the Qin Army's crossbowmen are racing against time to re-arm their bows!
After a while, a group of Qin Army's light cavalry were either knocked weak or killed, and disappeared without a trace. But at this time, a "buzz" sound was heard, and the Zhao Army's fine armored cavalry slowly fell down.
The Qin army's crossbows showed off their power again!
Before the Zhao army could react, another group of light cavalry from the Qin army followed the footsteps of the crossbows and rushed towards the Zhao army's elite cavalry formation.
This was repeated several times. Although the Zhao army's fine cavalry suffered heavy losses, the Qin army's crossbows were also preserved. It seemed that the Qin army had taken a big advantage, but in fact the two armies were still in the game, and the Zhao army even took a slight advantage.
After all, Zhao Jun was happy to accept such an exchange. After all, his opponent had to exchange five or even ten times his losses for his fine armored cavalry. Two thousand fine armored cavalry, in exchange for his 20,000 light cavalry, it was not a loss!
And now the Qin Army's superiority in military strength has almost dissipated in a day of fierce battles and bouts of fighting. Once the Qin Army's superiority in military strength is gone, even if the Zhao Army has the advantage, even if The Qin army still had ballistae, but it was unable to deal with its own light cavalry. After all, the heavy crossbows could not stop the wind-like shooting, and the surrounding flat terrain was really conducive to Zhao Jun's light cavalry tactics.
Soon the captains of the Qin Army obviously saw this problem. They exchanged light cavalry for elite cavalry. Two for one or three for one were acceptable, but five for one, plus the accidental damage of their own crossbows, even reached ten for one. The situation is really unacceptable!
However, if you can't accept it, what can you do?
Speed up the speed of changing arrows?
Che Nu's brothers have already put in all their strength, and the staff has also been rotated, but this thing can only do this at the fastest.
It seems that everything is in an endless loop, but the Qin army is worthy of being the strongest army in the world.
There was no way around the direction of the crossbow, and the captains were even more helpless. However, the cavalry at the bottom of the Qin army came up with a way. Didn't it mean that the light cavalry went up to rest, and they were extremely easy to kill one by one?
It's nothing more than stopping Zhao Jun's horse speed.
Well, I'll give you a big one directly!
If the weight of three horses tied together is not enough, then each cavalryman should hold a big stone in his arms. No stone? Hold the corpse, tie it up and rush!
We don't start from the side of the crossbow, we step back a little to give the horse room to accelerate!
As a result, the law of conservation of momentum, which could only be understood in the West hundreds of years later, was put into practice by a few illiterate light cavalrymen at the bottom of the Qin army on the Changping battlefield in 260 BC.
By tying the horses together, and by adding stones and carcasses, you are adding weight to the whole;
Making room for acceleration increases the overall speed;
When MV is multiplied, the momentum, mass and speed both increase. The momentum goes up, and what Zhao Jun's armored cavalry relies on is just the impulse transformed by the huge momentum!
In this way, the Qin army really used this native method to restrain Zhao Jun's armored cavalry.
Of course, this native method is not perfect, and it can even be said to be full of loopholes.
The first is the problem of self-protection. When the two armies collide, they both carry huge momentum. The Zhao army still has fine armor to resist one or two, but the Qin army does rely solely on physical resistance. This huge force is Can the body resist it? Immediately a broken bone and tendon were broken.
It's just that this Qin army went with the determination to die. It would be enough if it could reduce its own losses and at the same time achieve the purpose of containing the Zhao army.
The second is that although the Qin army's binding greatly increased the weight and impact power, it also lost almost all mobility - two war horses are okay, but if you want to control three horses to run quickly The war horse is almost impossible.
Although Zhao Jun's elite cavalry were also not good at swinging left and right, they were obviously much better than the Qin Army's large cavalry. Therefore, after receiving several lessons, Zhao Jun was quickly able to adjust his direction and pace slightly. Avoid and adjust the big guy who is running rampant.
But no matter what, the soldiers of the Qin Army still relied on their genius ideas to buy more time and survival opportunities for the ballistas and robes behind them.
