One hundred and twenty steps away, the unhurried Zhao troops fired their fourth and final round of arrow rain, and more than thirty Qin soldiers fell to the arrows.
Then Zhao Jun put away his long bow (lost it? You prodigal son, do you know how difficult it is to make a good bow?), and then held the standard long sword in his hand. Because of the rush to make heavy armor, Zhao Wei did not have time to replace Zhao Kuo's soldiers with more new knives, which resulted in the soldiers today still using Zhao's standard long knives.
However, it was a blessing in disguise. The appearance of this ordinary long sword also strengthened the Qin army's judgment that Zhao Kuo and Guizhou were incompetent.
It's a pity that what Qin Jun didn't know was that the demon of fate was not hidden in a long knife, but secretly hidden under a pair of long legs. The inconspicuous ropes gradually strangled Qin Jun's throat.
At this point in the battle, the Qin army was already absolutely weak on the battlefield.
Three rounds of arrow rain took away at least 130 Qin army warriors. Now, in the attacking formation on the left, only more than 80 Qin soldiers were left and rushed towards the Zhao army. Even though Sima Cuo was on the right with the final battle If you try to join, you can only look at a hundred people.
On the frontal battlefield, the Qin army suffered heavy losses. Under the double pressure of the Modao team and the crossbow team, the losses quickly exceeded a hundred. The remaining Qin army, with less than a hundred men, had no room to fight back and could only fight back. Seizing and retreating can do nothing except buy time for the comrades on both wings.
As for the Zhao army on the opposite side, since the beginning of the war, except for the sporadic arrows fired by the Qin army on the front battlefield, which injured a few people, there has been almost no damage.
The fifty-man Mo Dao team and the hundred-man crossbow team brutally slaughtered the Qin army's war cavalry and the cavalry on both wings. Because the Qin army had almost given up on long-range attacks, a full 140 people were not killed. Unscathed, Zhao Kuo and the last twenty men were waiting in the middle of the army, watching the changes in the battle.
As the third round of arrow rain fell, Zhao Jun put down his bow and arrow, picked up his long knife, clamped his legs, and his horse quickly started galloping.
The two forces soon burst out with shining sparks in the autumn north!
Closer, closer!
You can clearly see the evil smiles on each other's faces.
"It's time to show off your true skills!" The Qin Army warrior finally showed a smile, and then the long sword in his hand was swung to his shoulder. The humiliation just now was about to be taken back with this strenuous chop. !
Qin Jun's idea is good. The back-sword slashing attack is not only because the back-sword can catch people by surprise, but also because it can use the long sword's own gravity to increase its power during the process of pressing down. Compared with the ordinary sweep, its power is much higher. More than a 10% improvement?
It's a pity that the devil is as high as the Tao!
The Qin army thought well, but it was not as good as the Zhao army to stand tall!
Just when their swords were about to face each other, all the Zhao troops stood up out of thin air! On horseback, stood up! Can you believe it? The body was suddenly a whole head taller than Qin Jun!
Don't underestimate this half head. The great "Brother Weiwei Feng" once said: "Hit the high and the low, and beat the stupid." It couldn't be more appropriate to use it here. Just this one-head gap means that Zhao Jun can attack you, but you can't attack Zhao Jun. The long knife raised high looked so dazzling and terrifying under the sun.
Have any of the warriors of the Qin Army seen this formation? They had seen him standing on horseback. It was just a fancy skill, but these Zhao soldiers were standing on the horse's belly!
There was no time to see what was in the belly of Zhao Jun's horse. The Qin Jun, who had experienced hundreds of battles, immediately realized what the superior Zhao Jun meant to him. He immediately switched offense and defense and moved the long sword on his back to his head. Such a hat.
With a "dang" sound, the knife and the sword finally collided, creating dazzling sparks.
However, even though the Qin army's elite soldiers had switched from offense to defense and were fully prepared mentally, they were still completely stunned by Zhao Jun's powerful and heavy blow.
Those with greater strength had their swords knocked against their armors before they could stop their momentum; those with less strength were directly knocked off their horses by Zhao Jun's sword.
"What a great strength!" Qin Jun's warriors couldn't help but sigh.
Without waiting for the Qin army's elite to react, Zhao Jun's second wave of attack has arrived. Zhao Jun exerted force with both hands, and the long sword pressed Qin Jun's long sword, making a tooth-aching sound, and then pulled it back towards him.
As soon as the "squeaking" movement stopped, Zhao Jun's cavalry suddenly pressed down the long sword in their hands, and then sent it forward fiercely. Like a swimming dragon, the long sword was directly thinking about the Qin Army's warriors. It went between the waist and ribs. If the soldiers of the Qin army were unable to react in time, there would immediately be a hole in their body.
Even if you react in time, you will inevitably lose your balance a little while dodging.
And this is Zhao Jun's opportunity.
It was too late to say, but soon, Zhao Jun's arm was twisted slightly, and the long knife in his hand was turned, and the blade turned from vertical to horizontal. The cavalry immediately used the front hand as a fulcrum and used the back hand to move horizontally. The long knife in his hand was like an iron broom, sweeping in the direction where the Qin army was dodging.
How could Qin Jun, who was already a little out of balance, be able to block this blow? Either the long sword severely cut a long gash between his waist and abdomen, or when he hurriedly blocked it with his long sword, he was shot by Zhao Jun. Fall off the horse.
With just three short moves, nearly half of the Qin army had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and even Sima Cuo was caught off guard. Before the remaining Qin army could rejoice, a new round of Zhao army's offensive was already approaching.
It's still the same formula, and it's still the familiar taste - three moves that will kill you: vertical slash, straight thrust, and sweep.
It’s not that Zhao Kuo is a poor man and has no other tricks. Zhao Kuo still knows more or less about dragging the knife and swallows returning to their nests, but because it was too late to make up his mind to take out the stirrups, simple and practical is the way to go! As for the follow-up, it’s not too late to practice again in the future!
To deal with the Qin army, which had never seen the power of stirrups, these three tricks were enough.
Sure enough, even though the soldiers of the Qin army were brave and good at fighting, they were not saints after all. Even if they used the same moves, they would not be able to defeat them for a while, and they would be killed if they were not careful.
Only those who are very skilled in martial arts and experienced, such as General Sima Cuo, can show some ease in the second round, gradually grasp Zhao Jun's offensive, and even start to prepare for a counterattack.
Unfortunately, just when Sima Cuo saw the right moment and was about to counterattack, two more long knives appeared in front of him. There was no other way, and the helpless Sima Cuo could only switch from offense to defense again, drawing his sword to defend again.
With two crisp sounds of "dang, dang", the defense was able to prevent it, but it also lost the opportunity to counterattack.
