"Da da da......"
Amidst the thunderous sound, the heavy cavalry once again stepped onto the stage of history.
There is no suspense. In this era, heavy cavalry equipped with bilateral stirrups and high-bridge saddles were almost invincible.
Facing this heavy cavalry, which was like a copper wall and an iron wall, the Chu army's line was almost like tofu and was easily penetrated.
Coupled with the expanded heavy cavalry, the front line that can be controlled has almost doubled.
A battle involving hundreds of thousands of people was naturally completely rewritten after the addition of heavy cavalry.
The soldiers of the Zhao army, who cooperated tacitly, quickly entered the hinterland of the Chu army along the line drilled through by the heavy cavalry.
The battlefield was in complete chaos.
Facing the impact of the heavy cavalry, the Chu army had almost no recourse. The front army was penetrated by the heavy cavalry almost in the blink of an eye.
Those heavy cavalry, who were like savage beasts, did not stop their footsteps and came straight towards the direction of King Chu's banner.
The Chu army, which had never seen such a scene before, still stood there blankly, waiting for the impact from the heavy cavalry.
No matter how elite the Chu State's central army was, they were no match for this heavy cavalry.
Countless Chu army elites were knocked away by a huge force before they even had time to clearly see the monster in front of them.
The body spinning in mid-air finally saw clearly that what was coming towards them was a cavalry covered in heavy armor.
As the sound of "bang, bang" sounded, countless Chu army elites were mercilessly knocked away. The sacrifice of these Chu army elites could not even slow down Zhao Jun's cavalry slightly.
Just when the Zhao army's heavy cavalry was about to approach King Chu's central army, someone in the Chu army finally reacted.
Immediately, the captain of the Chu army commanded the few cavalry under his command and tried to use cavalry to relieve the cavalry.
Unfortunately, in a head-on confrontation, Chu's light cavalry was no match for Zhao's heavy cavalry. After all, there was a generational difference between the two arms.
The galloping light cavalry initially tried to use their usual tactics to disrupt the charge of Zhao Jun's heavy cavalry.
Unfortunately, the rain of arrows shot out from the sky, and the only response was the clanging sound. Zhao Jun's heavy cavalry didn't even have the interest to look sideways.
The Chu captain immediately understood that the armored cavalry were not afraid of him riding and shooting at all.
Seeing that the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army was about to fight against the King of Chu's guards, the Chu army's captain did not care so much and immediately led his cavalry team to insert into the Zhao army and the King of Chu's guards. XiuShu.com
This is of course a mantis pawn.
But someone has to do something that seems stupid but is right.
However, to have such a team of generals who are not concerned about life and death, it can only be said that the King of Chu has not been in vain these years.
It's a pity that the Chu captain still underestimated the combat power of this heavy cavalry.
The light cavalry he led were unable to fight at a distance in front of the heavy cavalry, let alone close combat.
In addition to being able to slow down a small number of heavy cavalry slightly, the rest of the heavy cavalry almost effortlessly killed all the Chu cavalry blocking them.
To be precise, no light cavalry of the Chu army was a single enemy of the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army.
As the last Chu army standing in front of King Chu was swept away by heavy cavalry, King Chu's royal guards inevitably collided with Zhao's heavy cavalry. The royal guards who were selected as the king of Chu are obviously not ordinary people. It can even be said that they are already the most elite among the more than 200,000 troops of Chu State. It is not impossible to fight against the Qin army head-on.
It's a pity that for such elites, in front of Zhao Jun's heavy cavalry, the performance of any unit is almost the same.
No unit can be a single enemy of heavy cavalry.
Finally, after experiencing numerous blockades that were not considered blockades, Zhao Jun's heavy cavalry felt as if they were in no one's land, and soon came into close contact with the King of Chu and the Chu Army's banner.
Zhao Wei was familiar with the job of chopping large sheets of paper.
The long sword in his hand was rounded, and then it was aimed at a point and hit hard.
With a "click" sound, the two of them hugged each other and fell down.
What also fell at the same time was the military spirit of the soldiers of the Chu army.
The collapse has begun to spread.
Until this time, the King of Chu was still sitting on the chariot blankly, unable to accept this sudden change.
What if they were said to be evenly matched?
With such a powerful fighting force, why bother fighting with him for nearly a month?
King Chu really couldn't figure out why he wasted so much time and soldiers' lives.
It's a pity that King Chu never had the chance to think about such a problem again.
As the big banner fell, Zhao Wei and the heavy cavalry around him immediately locked their eyes on the King of Chu who was still watching the battlefield in his chariot.
When the long sword struck, the soldiers around King Chu fell into a pool of blood.
When the driver of the King of Chu's car saw this, he did not bother to ask for instructions, so he waved his long whip and tried to drive out of the battle.
It should be said that the coachman's judgment was correct. If he stayed in the same place, he would only be captured.
As the leader of a country, this is simply a great shame.
Unfortunately, what the driver didn't know was that if the battle was defeated, there would be no King of Chu in the world.
And his carriage could not outrun the heavy cavalry that had accelerated.
So, as soon as the carriage started running, Zhao's heavy cavalry appeared over there and smashed the carriage into pieces.
With the sound of "click", King Chu was completely knocked to the ground.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei on the side also had quick eyesight and quick hands. During the march, he picked up the King of Chu who fell down.
The King of Chu should be grateful to the State of Zhao. After all, if it weren't for Zhao Wei's fishing, the King of Chu would have been a puddle of mud trampled by heavy cavalry.
Even so, the King of Chu, who had experienced the collision of the heavy cavalry, was already in a state of turmoil. His whole body was sore and he almost fainted.
However, with King Chu being captured, this battle was completely without any suspense.
Well, to be precise, from the moment the heavy cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the outcome was already determined. However, the capture of King Chu greatly accelerated the process.
"The King of Chu has surrendered!" Zhao Wei, carrying the King of Chu in one hand, shouted at the surrounding Chu troops.
"The King of Chu has surrendered!"
The heavy cavalry beside them also shouted while continuing to charge.
Looking at the King of Chu who was being carried away, and then at the fallen banner, the soldiers of the Chu army suddenly didn't know how to continue fighting.
As the sound of "dang clang" sounded, groups of Chu troops began to put down their weapons.
And the sound of surrender spread quickly like waves on the water.
"Stop!" Zhao Wei, who had discovered that the Chu army was beginning to surrender, immediately issued military orders to his heavy cavalry.
"Hey!"
After hearing the order, the heavy cavalry also reined in their horses and stopped their attack.
The infantry of the Zhao army behind them also hurriedly and slowly caught up, and then began to gather the Chu army.
On the contrary, Zhao Jun's light cavalry became the most unjust unit.
Without him, in order to completely wipe out this last force of the Chu army, Li Mu transferred most of the light cavalry to the two wings after deciding to use the heavy cavalry as his trump card.
At the beginning of the battle, the light cavalry were sent out by Li Mu to make a strategic detour, thus completely surrounding and annihilating the Chu army.
It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Li Mu didn't expect his opponent to be so inflexible. You know clearly that you are no match, but you just stay there and wait for your opponent to catch you?
Fortunately, although with the capture of King Chu, most of the Chu army had completely lost their fighting spirit and laid down their weapons.
But there are still a very small number of Chu troops who are not willing to be captured like this, and still insist on fighting, and even want to break out.
Naturally, these Chu troops were handed over by Li Mu to a team of light cavalry who had no military merit.
It was not until all the Chu troops who had resisted were completely cleared out, and hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were collected, the sky finally darkened.
In other words, in just one day, the Zhao army, with the help of heavy cavalry, completely and cleanly wiped out more than 200,000 Chu troops.
I have to say that the saying that one general is incompetent and will kill a thousand troops is indeed reasonable.
In this battle, any warrior with a little bit of ability would not have lost so miserably.
After all, if you can't win in the field, you can still defend the city, right?
Two hundred thousand people, even two hundred thousand pigs, Zhao Jun couldn't catch them all in one day!
It's a pity that the King of Chu was personally responsible for this war from beginning to end.
Like most mediocre generals, the pampered King of Chu could still command calmly when he was victorious or evenly matched.
And once the war situation falls into passivity, especially into despair, their shallow military knowledge and overly fragile psychology will be completely exposed.
However, it would be unbelievable to say that Li Mu's hands and feet were not involved.
With Li Mu's ability, in a full month, he could actually make someone like the King of Chu evenly matched. This is outrageous.
You know, Li Mu claimed in the court that he would bring an army of 100,000 to pacify the Chu Kingdom!
But on the battlefield, the two hundred thousand troops were still fighting back and forth with the Chu army. This was obviously very abnormal.
Not to mention Li Mu crushing the King of Chu and fighting, it would be normal for the King of Chu to at least be defeated step by step.
But unfortunately, the battlefield continued to be evenly divided for nearly a month.
Judging from the results, Li Mu was raising Gu.
It took a month, tens of thousands of lives, and repeated battles to make King Chu fully trust his command and ability.
With such certainty, the King of Chu would naturally not retreat and defend the city, nor would he let his military power fall by the wayside.
In this way, when Li Mu delivers his final blow, which is also the real blow, he will gain the most.
Obviously, Li Mu succeeded again.
But this time's success is really great.
It can be said that Li Mu almost secured the fertile land of Chu State in just one battle...
