Gurgling blood dripped all the way down the village gate onto the grass, and dozens of lives were consumed in an instant.
It may be said that it is the Hu people's luck, or it may be said that it is Zhao Jun's misfortune. Before dying, the sentry finally shouted the word "Zhao Ren". The sound of this voice naturally woke up the barbarians in the nearby village gate.
Even though there were barbarians wearing clothes, they went out of the tent to check the situation.
It's a pity that the Zhao army's three years of persistence gave the Hu people too many misunderstandings - the Zhao people would only huddle in the city. As everyone knows, the Zhao army has always been famous for its cavalry. Zhao Bianqi was the king of field battles that even Qin Rui Shi could be ashamed of!
The three years of active attacks by the Hu people have made the Hu people's self-confidence impossible. It has also made the Hu people fully misjudge their own strength. The vigilance they should have when approaching the battlefield has been thrown out of the sky. .
Knowing that there was movement outside, the Hu soldiers still dared to come out unarmed to check. Isn't this looking for death? What are they doing?
At the moment when the barbarian stepped out of his tent to seek death, the long sword of Zhao Jun's heavy armored cavalry had already cut off the key to the village gate. With a "bang", the wooden village gate was shattered by the heavy armored cavalry.
Zhao Jun has entered the camp...
Without any pause, after the heavy cavalry filed in, they immediately formed a group of three cavalry and continued to attack the depths of the barbarian camp.
The long knife in his hand slid gently, and a large head floated into the air. A large amount of blood spurted out from the broken neck, instantly dyeing the white tent bright red.
The screams of women and the cries of children instantly exploded in the front camp of the barbarians.
Accompanied by screams, Zhao Jun's heavy armored cavalry crossed the tent in one step. The long sword in their hands was slightly horizontal. Under the huge impact, the pillars supporting the tent were like tofu and were easily cut in two.
The pillar collapsed, and the tent attached to it collapsed in just an instant, trapping the young and old among them who had just lost the mainstay of their family.
The moment the tent fell down, Zhao Jun's heavy armored cavalry, which was charging rampantly, had already rushed three steps away.
Master, never look back at the explosion, oh, it's collapse.
Of course, the heavy armored cavalry are not so good at it, and they don't have so many thoughts in their minds. Rushing into the formation is the only thing they think about and the only thing they do.
Different from the general encirclement and annihilation war where a lion fights a rabbit, the key to this defeat is whether the heavy armored cavalry can use strong and fast force to cut through the Hu camp and immediately enter the Hu camp, making the Hu camp unable to do so. Organize an effective counterattack.
Then they rushed directly to the central army, killed the generals and captured the flag, causing the Hu people to completely lose their ability to resist.
Therefore, the word "fast" is Zhao Jun's only rule.
The heavy cavalry must charge fast, and the following light cavalry must also follow quickly.
Almost as soon as the heavy cavalry passed the first tent of the Hu people, Zhao Kuo led the subsequent cavalry into the village gate.
Following the gap opened by the heavy armored cavalry, the light cavalry quickly devoted themselves to the killing. At this time, most of the Hu people finally woke up from their sleep.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Horse hooves formed in formation, accompanied by whizzing arrows. Many barbarian warriors were nailed to death by sharp arrows that pierced through the tent before they could even put on their leather armor and pick up their swords. Inside, blood suddenly filled the entire white tent.
Even if the Hu people were lucky enough to come out with weapons, they would have to face Zhao Jun riding on a tall horse and holding a sharp long knife.
After just one encounter, the Hu man was already dead and in a different place, and he couldn't even stop the Zhao army's cavalry.
There is no way, the Hu people without their war horses are so fragile.
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Kuo, Li Mu and others plowed through the Hu people's front camp. At this time, the Zhao Army soldiers in the rear had also destroyed the wall of the camp where the Hu people were trying to fool around, and more Zhao Army cavalry were able to rush into the camp.
The heavy armored cavalry at the front had even approached the Hu people's Chinese army tent.
Although the Zhao army's heavy armored cavalry was fast enough, the Hu people's camp was still a bit too big, and King Zuo Xian's army was not comparable to the group of small tribes along the way.
The moment he realized the enemy attack, King Zuo Xian did not want to escape. Instead, he ordered someone to blow the horn to gather troops.
He knew very well that the Zhao army on the opposite side was approaching fiercely. If he escaped, the entire army would definitely collapse. Now that the enemy's situation is unclear, we don't know how many soldiers and horses the Zhao army has come, let alone how the Zhao army arranges their formation. Just listening to the movements of the front camp, it is clear that this Zhao army has many cavalry. Once you escape, you may not even be able to outrun Zhao Jun's cavalry.
Therefore, sticking to it may be Zhao Jun's best approach now. Since the Zhao army was encamped secretly, they probably didn't have many troops. As long as they could hold the central army, everything was still possible.
King Zuo Xian, who had made up his mind, immediately beat the drum to convey the order - and then the sound of drum beating for the gathering of troops spread from the barbarian camp.
Fortunately, the front camp of the Hu people had been in a mess for a while, and the Hu people had no time to escape. How could they listen to the orders of horns and drums.
But the front camp fell, but the middle army and the rear camp have not yet fallen!
After hearing the sound of the horn, the barbarians got up one after another, picked up their clothes and weapons, and were about to gather at the central army.
Fortunately, due to their different identities, the Chinese army's tent was far away from the tents of other servants and herdsmen. Even if the Hu army wanted to come to rescue the Chinese army, it would still take time.
Zhao Kuo obviously would not give them this time. Now all King Zuo Xian can rely on is the hundreds of personal guards under his command. Oh, there are also other leaders with these more or less personal soldiers, and the total number of them is only a thousand.
Thousands of people, personal soldiers! In the eyes of King Zuo Xian, these thousand soldiers should be enough to withstand for a period of time, at least enough to delay the arrival of reinforcements.
After all, the so-called personal soldiers are composed of the strongest warriors from each tribe. More than a thousand personal soldiers are worth thousands of fighting strength.
So, at the place where the bonfire banquet was held not long ago, which was also in front of King Zuo Xian's tent, more than a thousand soldiers had gathered, and under the leadership of King Zuo Xian, they quickly formed a formation.
King Zuo Xian's spirit of daring to resist is absolutely worthy of recognition, but it is obvious that he, like the Hu people under his command, was blinded by three years of active attacks and misjudged the enemy's and our combat strength.
What's more, King Zuo Xian, who had just walked out of the tent, was very good at commanding his soldiers to complete the defensive formation. Naturally, he had no chance to climb to a high place and appreciate the invincible appearance of Zhao's heavy armored cavalry.
Without any experience, he would naturally not understand what kind of brand-new unit he would face, a unit that was nearly invincible in this era - heavy armored cavalry.
Almost as soon as King Zuo Xian's defense formation was formed, monster-like armored heavy cavalry appeared in front of King Zuo Xian and his soldiers.
By this time, the precious time that the barbarians in the front camp had bought with their lives for King Zuo Xian had been squandered by the arrogant King Zuo Xian, and there was no possibility of escape.
Of course, King Zuo Xian can sit in this position where one person is less than ten thousand people, and his subordinates naturally have a lot of skills, just like this defensive phalanx, which is very impressive.
There is a long shield on the outside, supplemented by spears, a scimitar in the middle, and archers at the back. It is a typical frontal defense formation, and it is quite impressive. If ordinary cavalry were to charge into the formation, they would really be disappointed by this.
Um, I lied to you!
The Hu people's formation simply learned to be lonely. Facing the enemy's attack, the best formation is obviously the circle formation. In such a square formation, even ordinary cavalry can divide their troops to the left and right, bypass the shields and spears in front, and attack the crossbowmen and light infantry in the rear. The formation will be broken in an instant.
Of course, King Zuo Xian obviously did not understand these principles.
What's even worse is that what they have to face is not ordinary cavalry. Instead, they are heavy armored cavalry that appear in a crushing manner!
Looking at the slightly neat formation of the barbarians in front of them, Zhao Jun's heavy armored cavalry just smiled and did not urinate at all. Even facing the phalanx with guns standing like a forest, the Zhao army's heavy cavalry were not shy at all - you can come from all directions, I will only go all the way!
"Charge!" At this time, Zhao Kuo caught up with the heavy armored cavalry in front.
Without any pause, Zhao Kuo immediately issued instructions to the advancing heavy armored cavalry. Obviously, Zhao Kuo was quite dissatisfied that he could actually catch up with the heavy armored cavalry.
In Zhao Kuo's mind, the heavy armored cavalry should have killed the general and captured the flag at this time, and moved the troops into the rear camp, instead of hesitating here and entangled too much with the enemy general.
What kind of bullshit defensive formation? Even if it's a city wall, just charge through it. Aren't the heavy armor and stirrups on your body just for this moment? !
Of course, Zhao Kuo misunderstood these men. They had never thought of stopping along the way, but because of the killing, they unconsciously slowed down a bit. From this perspective, Zhao Kuo's dissatisfaction may also be justified.
No matter what, the first time the heavy armored cavalry officially entered the battle, there must still be many imperfections, which is naturally understandable.
Hearing the general's urging voice, Zhao Jun's heavy armored cavalry felt a chill in their hearts. From the voice, they could clearly feel the dissatisfaction in Zhao Kuo's heart. Immediately, no one dared to delay any longer, clamped their legs together, and hundreds of heavy cavalry immediately accelerated towards the barbarians' formation.
King Zuo Xian here was surprised when he saw such a weird army, but he was still full of confidence. Seeing this weird army charging straight towards his spear array, he felt even more excited. There were bursts of secret joy - sure enough, my formation is about to work!
It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
