At this point in the war, any conspiracy or conspiracy has lost its color.
When Qin Jian and Zhao Dao come and go, the battle is who can persist until the last quarter of an hour.
Personal bravery seems to be somewhat inadequate in such a large-scale battle. If war is a competition of national strength, then at this point in the war, all we can rely on is the true combat power of the army.
A strong will, tacit cooperation, sophisticated weapons, a strong body, a steady stream of logistical supplies, and a fighting spirit that is not afraid of death are a comprehensive and three-dimensional assessment of the military.
Winners enjoy all the fruits of victory, while losers can only become prisoners.
If there is anything besides the hard power of the military itself that can influence the success or failure of this war, perhaps it is the commanding art of the general and the power of technology.
Needless to say, the general's commanding art requires that they pay attention to the boundless battlefield at all times and accurately determine where there are opportunities and where there are opportunities for the enemy.
In a chess game with heaven and earth as the chessboard and human lives as the pawns, there is always no regret in making a move.
Under the hand of God, the Chinese army breaks in, slays the dragon and seizes the flag;
Under the hands of the eagle, they retreated steadily and lost the city and territory.
It's a pity that Li Mu's commanding art may be better than that of Wang Lu, but it is not as huge as the gap between Ke Jie and Ying Jiang.
Li Mu has the elegance and agility of the Zhao army's side cavalry, while Wang Hao also has the solidity and stability of the old Qin people.
As the saying goes, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.
The strength of the two armies, not to mention, is the most top-notch combat power in the world today. Although the Qin army has some advantages in numbers, this advantage is actually not enough in the battle between hundreds of thousands of troops. It's nothing, at least it won't have any effect in the short term.
At the same time, although the Zhao Army's cavalry on both wings suppressed the Qin Army's cavalry and crossbows, in the infantry confrontation on the central position, the Qin Army clearly had the advantage.
Unfortunately, whenever the Qin Army was about to complete a partial breakthrough of the Zhao Army, a group of Zhao Army cavalry suddenly appeared, trying to turn the tide and bring the balance of the war back to the center.
Similarly, whenever the Zhao army's side cavalry wanted to break through the Qin army's cavalry, another group of Qin army's infantry carried spears and blocked the Zhao army's path.
The cavalry, which is not equipped with saddles and stirrups, is actually not suitable for frontal sprints, especially in spear formations like the Qin Army. If you hit him head-on, the only result would be broken bones and tendons, as well as being penetrated to the core.
As a last resort, Zhao Jun, seeing a breakthrough right in front of him, had no choice but to give up and take another detour.
Just like this, between you and me, there is a strange balance in this huge battlefield. It can be said that Zhao and Qin, who have sufficient military strength, under the command of Li Mu and Wang Lu, can hardly do anything to each other.
Although it seems that there is no trouble in the ancient well, this is extremely cruel to the generals of both sides.
Every order must be well thought out, yet decisive. Even in the face of occasional mistakes, there should be no mood swings.
Prudence and determination are clearly reflected in them.
While all the soldiers of Zhao and Qin were working hard for this war, Zhao Wei, who was sitting peacefully in Xinzheng City, was bored and restless.
It was clear that he had the key power in his hands that could influence the situation of the battle, but Zhao Kuo refused to let him use it. Not only that, in order to deceive others, Zhao Kuo also placed him and his 3,000 heavy cavalry in the city.
He couldn't even go to the battlefield, which really made Zhao Wei feel extremely itchy.
And this frustration lasted for fifteen days.
Yes, this battle between Zhao and Qin lasted for fifteen days, and the outcome was still hard to decide.
After ten days of bloody battle, both sides were already feeling a little bit tired. The huge loss would make almost any general feel heartbroken after seeing it.
Although both sides were still attacking each other, it was obvious that the soldiers were exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Under such circumstances, the actual
There is no need to continue fighting.
The generals on both sides actually knew it well in their hearts: if they continue to fight, there is only the possibility of losing both sides.
But the clever thing is that the two sides continued to fight fiercely with a tacit understanding.
The reason is simple. Zhao Kuo is waiting for an opportunity to throw out his trump card.
What Zhao Kuo didn't know was that Wang Lu was also waiting for news, news that could shake Zhao Jun's morale.
Today, the news finally reached the military camps of both sides.
The 50,000 Qin army forced the Zhao army back in the Battle of Hedong, and is currently marching towards Kongcang Ridge in Shangdang County.
Karakura Ridge, such a familiar name, the Battle of Changping, it was because of the failure to hold the Karakura Ridge that the subsequent Bishui confrontation and the Battle of Changping took place.
In other words, if Zhao Jun does not want problems in the rear, it is time to consider retreating.
In Wang Lu's mind, the only way for the Zhao army to face the insurmountable Qin army was to abandon the country of Han and withdraw to Shangdang in order to fight again.
However, at this juncture, Zhao Kuo not only did not back down, but decided to use his Zhao Wei troops to press the last weight in his hand.
It was another sunny morning, the same situation as the previous ten days or so, the same cavalry charge, the same catapults and the rain of arrows in the sky, the same slow advance.
Finally, when they were still hundreds of steps away, Zhao Jun's formation suddenly opened to both sides.
The heavy cavalry who had been hiding behind the forest of spears mounted their horses one after another. Under the bright sunshine, the cavalry fully armored slowly appeared in front of the Qin army.
The polished black armor covered the cavalry and war horses, like solid iron towers, standing proudly in the battle formation. Although it is not as dazzling as the Mingguang Armor of later generations, it is still powerful and majestic.
When people face unknown things, they often show panic or even fear.
However, this Qin army did not.
Despite the appearance of different cavalry, the Qin army continued to advance in an orderly manner.
Perhaps in their eyes, this is just a cavalry force.
It's a pity that Zhao Jun won't explain too much to them. Blood will naturally tell everyone the answer they want!
Without any pause, almost as soon as the passage was revealed, three thousand heavy cavalry had already mounted their horses with the help of friendly troops around them. Then rows of heavy cavalry began to accelerate, and the thunderous sound resounded throughout the battlefield again. . ..
Three thousand heavy cavalry, each in groups of three, were connected to each other by iron chains as thick as arms. On top of the iron chains, countless iron caltrops were hung to increase their lethality.
Looking up, each heavy cavalryman and his horse were covered with iron armor. Even their faces were luxuriously protected with iron plates, with only a few openings for their eyes and noses.
At the same time, every heavy cavalry member was also armed to the teeth. The standard long knife specially made by the Shangdang Arsenal is their main weapon. The short and powerful crossbow is tied to the left arm, and a short dagger is attached to the waist for use as a deputy.
And the most critical "high technology" - the stirrups, is carefully covered by the armor on the cavalry's legs. Unless you look at it from a close distance, you can't clearly see that it is an item on the war horse. Still part of the armor.
Soon, the speed of the heavy cavalry was mentioned by the general, and the formation of the heavy cavalry gradually appeared in the eyes of the Qin army.
The three thousand heavy cavalry were divided into thousands of groups, and the heavy cavalry of the gun group were divided into three rows, showing an arrangement of three, three, and four, each inserted in the gap to ensure that no fish slipped through the net, and at the same time, this mere group of thousands of heavy cavalry was Enough to control a vast area on the frontal battlefield.
As the heavy cavalry dispersed completely, the Qin army's line was already in sight.
Looking at the huge mountains in front of him, even Qin Jun was a little confused - what are these?
And the more clearly they could see, the more the Qin army officers were murmuring in their hearts.
Fortunately, the Qin army
General Pi noticed the signs in time and immediately shouted: "Hold on!"
Although he didn't know what the Zhao Jun on the opposite side was, it was obvious that the Zhao Jun was menacing and must not be trifled with.
Therefore, the seasoned Qin Jun general gave the "Stabilize" command while trying to squint his eyes and look at the Zhao Jun formation in the distance, trying to see clearly what Zhao Jun wanted to do.
But unfortunately, before he had time to see the specific appearance of the opposite side, a huge black shadow had already rushed in front of him.
Almost subconsciously, the Qin army's general raised the long sword in his hand and pointed in the direction of the black shadow.
It's a pity that Zhao Jun, who was riding on a tall horse, had no intention of stopping. His long sword slashed down, but he struck first and then later.
With a crisp sound of "ding", Qin Jun Pi broke the long knife in his hand into two halves, and then the Zhao Jun cavalry's sword gleamed across General Pi's body from top to bottom like a hot knife cutting butter.
Even with the resistance of the long sword and the double protection of the fine armor, Qin Jun's general was still seriously injured by this blow.
Unfortunately, the bad luck of the Qin army generals did not end there.
Before the captain could take a breath, a black wall suddenly appeared in front of him.
"boom!"
General Pi was instantly knocked three feet away by the fast-moving black wall, and the dozens of Qin soldiers behind him were smashed to the bone and had their tendons broken.
"So much strength!" This was the last thought that flashed through Qin Jun's mind.
The black wall that hit the wall was the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army wearing heavy armor. After the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army hit the general of the Qin army, they continued to move forward as if they were not hindered by any obstacles.
At the same time, the shield bearers and spearmen around General Pi were also attacked one after another. literature
The luckier ones were killed on the spot by the long swords in the hands of the heavy cavalry;
Those who were less lucky were directly knocked away by the heavy cavalry rushing in like a wall, and died with their internal organs broken;
The most unlucky ones were tripped by the iron chains connecting the three and five heavy cavalrymen, seriously injured by the caltrops on the iron chains, and finally trampled to death by the hoofs of horses.
But no matter what, the strict line of the Qin Army could not withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry of the Zhao Army. Almost in an instant, the Qin Army's line was torn into pieces by the heavy cavalry...
