"Fight in!"
Meng Ao clenched his fist tightly until his nails dug into his skin and he felt a slight sting. Only then did he feel relieved.
When the heavy cavalry attacks, the most important thing is the first blow.
As long as Zhao Jun's first round of defense can be broken through, as the heavy cavalry becomes faster and faster, it will be difficult to stop them later.
Seeing that Zhao Jun seemed to have adjusted, Meng Ao only thought that the attack was going to miss, but unexpectedly he broke into it easily. How could it not be exciting?
But soon, Meng Ao regained the calmness that a general should have. Seeing the cavalry charging into the formation, they had broken through the Zhao army's front line of defense, and both the Zhao army's middle and rear troops had turned around and left.
Meng Ao knew it was time to move on.
Immediately, Meng Ao waved his big hand, and the Chinese army commander immediately issued an order, and the whimpering horn sound instantly became more rapid and loud!
Immediately afterwards, the rapid drum beat sounded again, urging the impatient Qin soldiers to launch a full-scale attack on the Zhao army in front of them.
Facing the high morale of the Qin soldiers, how could the Zhao army, whose formation had been disrupted by heavy cavalry, be their opponent?
Even though the captains of the Zhao Army tried their best to maintain their formation and tried to reduce losses and slowly retreat, it was obvious that the Qin Army's officers and soldiers would not give them this chance.
Under the attack of Qin's superior force, Zhao's entire defense line instantly fell into retreat. Almost at every moment, hundreds of Zhao soldiers fell under the swords of the Qin army.
Despite this, Zhou Qi still did not issue an order to fight back.
The reason is simple: the Qin army did not pursue them deeply enough.
So, just when the Zhao army was retreating steadily and was about to collapse, the sound of gold was suddenly heard from the middle of the Zhao army.
Obviously, the order to retreat at this time was not so much a retreat as an order to "escape".
Sure enough, after hearing Ming Jin, more than a thousand Zhao troops on both the left and right wings and those who stayed behind in the center retreated towards the rear under the leadership of their respective captains.
Not only that, as the Qin army pursued, the soldiers of the Zhao army even abandoned their helmets, armor, and spears on the ground, not to mention their flags and war drums.
Looking at it from Meng Ao's perspective: This is undoubtedly a defeat in the true sense, a defeat without any moisture.
Especially after Meng Ao boarded the chariot shaft and saw Zhao Jun's almost unorganized retreat, he was even more certain that this was a rout.
It's a pity that Meng Ao can only see a few hundred steps away, even after boarding the shaft of the carriage.
If he could climb a little higher, he would find that after the chaotic defeat, there were groups of strict military formations slowly gathering in front of Zhao Jun's camp.
Unfortunately, in the face of a huge victory, even Meng Ao could not remain calm. XiuShu.com
Meng Ao knew very well that as long as he could defeat this Zhao army, he could directly surround Luocheng, and he could directly trap hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers in Yingchuan County without even requiring the intervention of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.
In the face of such a huge temptation, a strong desire instantly rose from the bottom of Meng Ao's heart.
A ghostly voice chanted repeatedly in Meng Ao's ears: "Charge forward! Charge forward! Capture this Zhao Jun and make an unparalleled feat!"
Of course Meng Ao knew that such an idea was not calm.
He also knew that by this point in the war, the Qin army had taken advantage of it, and he had completed his mission well.
However, looking at the Zhao army fleeing in embarrassment and the banners everywhere, if Meng Ao wanted to withdraw his troops at this time, he was really hungry and couldn't do it!
Of course, it was not just the immediate benefits, the effect of the heavy cavalry also gave Meng Ao more confidence.
After exhaling a long breath, Meng Ao finally gave the order slowly: "Send the order: All troops attack!"
Immediately, the order was quickly executed.
The entire Qin army moved with a roar, and charged towards the Zhao army's final front line in a mighty manner.
Of course, Meng Ao has grown up after several battles, and now this battle is related to the Qin State.
In the rise and fall, Meng Ao would naturally not rush forward with all his troops recklessly.
Even though he was already very excited, Meng Ao still maintained the most basic sense.
I saw Meng Ao's several generals issuing frequent orders: the iron cavalry was the spearhead, slowing down slightly, the infantry followed quickly, the light cavalry tightly protected the two wings, and the army slowly advanced. XiuShu.com
It should be said that Meng Ao's general order was very calm and reasonable. According to Meng Ao's idea, if Zhao Jun had any other trump cards, he would be able to turn around in time.
Unfortunately, the reality is often not based on personal will.
It is always easy to let go but hard to put back horses in the plains, let alone in such a high spirits, not to mention that the heavy cavalry rushing forward are still at the forefront.
The defeat of Zhao Jun was like a barrel of gunpowder, which not only pierced Meng Ao's heart, but also pierced the body of every coalition soldier.
Even the seriously wounded soldiers mustered up their last bit of strength, wanting to rush forward and kill another member of Zhao's army, and then add a significant mark to their military exploits.
If Meng Ao had withdrawn his troops in time, perhaps the soldiers of the Qin army would not be so crazy.
But Meng Ao gave the order to pursue. How could the soldiers of the Qin Army hold back?
One by one, they waved their long swords and rushed towards the Zhao army. Under the Qin army's offensive, the Zhao army was defeated faster and faster.
Correspondingly, the faster the Zhao army was defeated, the more excited the Qin army's soldiers became!
It was clear that the Qin army was still wearing full armor, but its speed was not much slower than that of the Zhao army, which had abandoned its armor.
It's just a simple truth that the more excited you are, the more dangerous you are.
Destiny always likes to find those who climb high and forget about themselves.
It is a pity that the 100,000 Qin troops obviously cannot remember these principles.
In their hearts, they only had the idea of catching up and getting military glory.
The Zhao Jun in front of me is no longer Zhao Jun, but a walking military hero! How could the Qin army's officers and soldiers not be jealous of those kind of military exploits with quick hands and slow hands?
The four words "fighting bravely" are no longer enough to describe the Qin army today.
As a result, the originally neat offensive formation gradually became loose amidst the excitement of the Qin army soldiers.
There was no way, the soldiers of the Qin Army were too eager for this military success.
The Battle of Chendu two years ago gave the people at the bottom of the Qin State a slight breath of relief. However, because of this battle, the people of the Qin State were once again burdened with too many taxes.
Qin needs to win this war and obtain more resources.
The soldiers of Qin State need to gain meritorious service in this war to ensure that they and their families can survive.
Therefore, when facing the seemingly easy-to-obtain military success, the opponents of the Qin army officers and soldiers have unknowingly changed from Zhao Jun to their comrades.
If you kill one more person, I will kill one less person.
If I kill one less person, my family will have one less bowl of corn.
Without a bowl of corn, the family may not be able to survive this winter.
this is the truth.
Under the urging of this reality, it is understandable that the Qin army's formation became twisted.
Obviously, such a formation cannot withstand any counterattack from Zhao Jun.
Meng Ao, who was following the movement of the army, naturally quickly discovered such an anomaly, but he understood that unless he ordered the entire army to stop, he would not be able to adjust the formation at all.
Even if he ordered the entire army to stop, the Qin army could not hold back until now.
The Qin soldiers who were killing each other were like bulls that saw the red cloth. Unless they died, they would not be able to stop their pursuit of death. XiuShu.com
While Meng Ao was hesitating, the Qin army's line became more and more chaotic. Not only was there no connection between the front and rear armies, but the Qin army in the rear even crossed over the friendly troops in the front.
Obviously, the Qin army was already sliding in an uncontrolled direction at this time.
But if it were now...
Meng Ao didn't dare to think further. He could only squint his eyes and look at Zhao Jun who was still fleeing in front of him - hoping nothing would happen to him.
However, the more a person doesn't want any accidents, the more accidents will happen.
The soldiers of the Qin army chased for half an hour, seemingly with great momentum, but if you look closely, you will know that in fact, since the Qin army began to pursue, fewer and fewer Zhao soldiers have fallen.
Even at this point in the battle, the soil at the feet of the Qin army was still not stained red with blood.
If he had more experience, Meng Ao might have discovered the problem. Under such a rout, Zhao Jun's losses were not even tens of thousands? This is obviously not normal.
It's a pity that Meng Ao obviously didn't realize the danger at this time.
After all, the heavy cavalry in front was still wreaking havoc on Zhao Jun's soldiers.
Although the heavy cavalry were actually a little tired, stimulated by the bloody air, the heavy cavalry soldiers were constantly secreting adrenaline, and everyone seemed to have infinite strength.
However, none of them seemed to have noticed that the war horse under their crotches was moaning and panting, nor did they notice the faint darkness on the seemingly flat road ahead.
As a result, thunderous sounds continued to roar across the battlefield, and the chains of heavy cavalry still swept across the already thin Zhao army front.
Finally, as the Zhao army became fewer and fewer, the road in front of the Qin army became wider and wider.
Before the Qin army's cavalry could react, not far ahead, the remnants of the Zhao army suddenly disappeared.
Looking further into the distance, under the sun, there seemed to be a strict military formation waiting for him in front.
Although some people secretly feel that something is not good, it is just that the Qin army that has penetrated deep into the front line has no way to retreat!
"rush!"
The Qin army's heavy cavalry, knowing that there was no way out, roared towards the Zhao army's dark front again.
The autumn wind whistled in the ears of the Qin Army's cavalry. Looking at the increasingly clear figure of Zhao Jun, the horses beneath them seemed to feel their master's excitement and charged faster.
However, the Qin army's cavalry failed to reach the Zhao army's formation.
Because Zhao Jun's military formation is also rushing towards them...
