Ying Xi, with red eyes, was filled with only revenge and the thought of dying standing. Regardless of his right arm that was still bleeding, he drew out the soldier's sword with his left hand, turned the horse's head, and wanted to return to the battlefield.
"General!"
"No general!"
How could the soldiers not know what their general was thinking, so they immediately reined in General Ying's horse's head and blocked Ying's way.
Ying Shou roared angrily: "There are only Qin generals who die standing, there are no Qin generals who run away."
As he spoke, he swung his sword to kill the soldiers who were reining in the horse's head.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared next to Ying Xi.
"Follow the future!" A rough and magnetic voice sounded in Ying Xi's ears.
Ying Xi took a closer look, who else could it be if it wasn't Wang Lu?
"The last general, the last general." Ying Xie seemed to have thousands of words in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.
Wang Lu ignored Ying Xi, turned his horse's head, faced the battlefield, pointed the long whip in his hand, and then brought it down heavily.
Immediately, the horn sound suddenly sounded in the Qin camp, and then hundreds of chariots and horses drove out from the Qin camp and headed for the front line, as if they were descending from the sky.
Not long after, Zhao Jun, who was fighting in front, suddenly heard a sound that he shouldn't have heard, a frightening sound!
"Buzz..."
"Buzzing..."
One after another, the sound of breaking through the air came one after another, and the soldiers of Zhao finally confirmed that the nightmarish weapon had finally appeared again, just as they were cheering that they were about to win!
Yes, it was the Qin army's great weapon - the crossbow. Zhao Jun's fine armored cavalry almost completely wiped out the entire army before they were able to clean up the crossbows! It's here again.
Obviously, the cunning Qin army also hid something.
The person who hid this hand was none other than the old and refined Wang Lu. Because he was guarding the main road in the mountains and forests, Wang Hao had dispatched a batch of crossbows in advance, but the number was only about a hundred. When news came that the crossbows in the army had been destroyed, Wang Lu not only did not send the crossbows to Ying Xin, but instead ordered the craftsmen of the rear camp to cut wood in the mountains and temporarily build more crossbows.
Wang Shen knew that his cavalry could not take advantage of Zhao Jun's cavalry. The only killing weapon was the crossbow, and Zhao Jun's almost crazy destruction of the crossbow just proved this.
Therefore, Wang Hao made a trick and did not reinforce when the main camp ran out of chariots and crossbows, forcing Zhao Jun to believe that the Qin army had no chariots and crossbows, so he boldly deployed troops.
After receiving the news that Zhao Jun had broken through the defense line and Ying Xin went to fight in person, Wang Hao immediately took over the defense of the main camp with nearly 300 new and old chariots and crossbows and 3,000 elite soldiers.
Therefore, the moment Ying Xi retreated due to injury, Wang Lu appeared in front of Ying Xi like a savior.
In Wang Lu's view, Ying Xie's performance in this battle was remarkable. He made timely adjustments to the problem of his own soldiers' insufficient individual combat capabilities. Faced with the enemy's armored cavalry and other deadly weapons, The response was considered appropriate, and coupled with the courage to personally step in and turn the tide in the face of critical situations several times, the overall performance was not too good.
Of course, there are many flaws in it, the most important of which are two points: first, when the enemy's situation is unclear, he reveals all his trump cards, which leads to Zhao Jun having the upper hand in the final decisive battle; second, he believes too much I believe that my own force can turn the tide, but I don't realize that individual bravery is insignificant when fighting in large groups. After the failure, some people became hot-headed and refused to recognize the reality.
The former is easy to change, but as for the latter, he can only slowly realize it.
Watching the battle is the best time to become enlightened, which is why Wang Lu went to watch the battle with Ying Xie, who was still bleeding.
What? Delaying treatment may cost you an arm.
Look at what I just said: Personal bravery is always small. It is easy to fight against ten thousand people, but it is difficult to fight against one hundred thousand people or one million people!
As the future commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, his brain always comes first. If he could exchange an arm for a clear mind, believe it or not, Wang Lu would even chop off Ying Xi’s arm immediately, and Bai Qi would return it. He would clap his hands beside him and say: "Good job!".
Putting aside the painstaking efforts of Wang Lu here, the battlefield ahead changed instantly due to the arrival of crossbows and general Wang Lu's flags.
That's right, the chariot crossbows and Wang Zi's general flag jointly changed the battlefield pattern. Even the erection of Wang Lu's general flag was no worse than the arrival of the chariot crossbow reinforcements.
The raising of the flag by General Wang Hao meant that Wang Hao had taken over the central army, and with Wang Hao as the backbone, the Qin army felt relieved. This is the veteran, like the magic needle that fixes the sea. No need to say too many words, just sitting there is the guarantee of victory.
Immediately, with the continuous roar of the Qin Army's chariots and crossbows, the Qin Army also launched a full-scale counterattack.
In front of the crossbow, there is no difference at all whether it is armored cavalry, light cavalry, or heavily armored infantry. The same thing is that both the man and the horse are pierced and torn apart.
A crossbow bolt tore apart two fine armored cavalrymen, and then pierced the body of the third finely armored cavalryman, stopping his sinful steps.
In just one encounter, more than half of the remaining three hundred elite cavalry were lost, and thousands of Zhao soldiers fell with them. Obviously, the sudden appearance of Qin Jun's chariots and crossbows caught Zhao Jun by surprise.
What made Zhao Kuo and Zhao Jun even more desperate was that the morale of Qin's soldiers seemed to be gradually recovering. In many places, they followed the pace of chariots and crossbows and gradually restored the front line.
"Sure enough, this is the strength that the Qin army should have." Zhao Kuo looked at the Qin army that was pressing forward step by step, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo seemed to realize that perhaps this was the best moment.
Without hesitation, Zhao Kuo continued to move his horses and ran towards the ballista formation not far away.
Relying on his superb riding skills and many of his guards risking their lives to block swords, Zhao Kuo narrowly avoided the crossbow attack and broke into the crossbow formation.
With a single strike of the long knife, a ballista cart was shattered into pieces - the newly built ballista cart was just not strong enough and fell apart with just one strike of the knife. Without stopping, Zhao Kuo immediately turned to the next ballista.
Soon, dozens of ballistas in a ballista formation were wiped out by Zhao Kuo and his soldiers.
But the problem is that the Qin army has more than ten such ballista formations.
After Zhao Kuo led his soldiers to kill several ballista formations, Zhao Kuo suddenly discovered that the only one who could still follow him was Zhao Wei.
What's even worse is that due to the continuous killing of chariots and crossbows, the horse speed inevitably slowed down, and the Qin army not far away was already swarming towards Zhao Kuo like ants smelling the sweet taste. .
