Qingshigang area.
Sixty thousand spirit troops were marching on the official road. With so many soldiers and armors, the scene was still very big. The soldiers lined up in several long queues. It could be said that there were many halberds standing there. Flags were fluttering. The scene was full of the sounds of the infantry marching. The sound of armor scraping.
Yin Dian rode a tall horse and walked leisurely in front of the team. After a while, Tan Ma galloped back.
"Report~~~~"
Yin Dian tightened the reins slightly.
The spy turned over and dismounted, knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "General, we have found a large number of enemy troops ahead, blocking our army's path."
Enemy troops will block the road. This has been mentioned at the high-level meeting of Lingguo. Therefore, Yin Dian did not have too many surprises and asked directly: "Can we find out what the strength of the opponent's troops is and who is the commander of the troops."
"This." The spy hesitated for a moment and then replied truthfully: "It built a camp and huddled inside. The specific strength of its troops is not yet known, but judging from its flag, the commander of the army should be General Lian Xiao of the Qin State."
"Lian Xiao?" Yin Dian raised his eyebrows first, then sneered: "Hmph, I heard that this man is extremely skilled in martial arts and is highly relied upon by the King of Qin. I have long wanted to meet him!"
Seeing that he was about to start a battle, the deputy general immediately said: "Our army has marched for more than forty miles, and Lian Xiao is here to wait for work. As a general, it is better to make repairs first, recharge our batteries, and then destroy them in one battle." Of."
Yin Dian said: "Your Majesty's military order to me is to quickly respond to Murong Yan. If we delay here and miss the military flight, what should we do? Furthermore, our army is only forty miles away, and our combat strength is still the same, so why be afraid of Lianxiao."
The lieutenant general said: "Although the soldiers are capable of fighting, they are still burdened by the baggage and may not be strong enough. General, please think twice."
Yin Dian was about to retort, but after a second thought, he held back: "Forget it, just do what you want and order the soldiers to repair where they are. When they have enough energy, they can attack and destroy Lian Xiao."
"The general is wise." The deputy general clasped his fists and began to go down to deliver orders.
This side was not in a hurry to attack. On the other side, the Qin army was encamped.
Lian Xiao's garrison location did not have any geographical advantages, but due to advance preparations, basic defensive measures had been completed. Not only had a simple village wall been built, but there were also many sharp barriers on both sides of the village gate.
If Yin Dian wanted to meet Murong Yan, he had to pass here. On the one hand, the official road was convenient for the army to pass. On the other hand, he could not, let alone leave an enemy army behind him.
Therefore, the Ling Army must remove Lian Xiao's nail.
At this time, in the military tent, the generals of the Qin army were also discussing the war.
Not long after, the military aircraft battalion sent back the information, saying that the Spirit Army was not far away and was making temporary repairs.
After hearing this report, a general stood up immediately, clasped his fists and said: "General, judging from the military situation, the Ling Army has no less than 50,000 to 60,000 people. It has reached Qingshi Gang. After Yin Dian repairs, I am afraid that he will launch a strong attack." Okay. Therefore, as a general, it is better to take the initiative to attack with elite cavalry and defeat their superiority first."
"Well..." Lian Xiao thought about it for a moment, and then said decisively: "This is very good, just what I want! The Spirit Army has just marched here and has not yet established a stable footing. The terrain nearby is open, which is very suitable for cavalry to deploy. Shock.”
As he spoke, he immediately asked: "How many more cavalry do we have?"
"General, there are more than five hundred in total." The general returned.
"Okay!" Lian Xiao said seriously: "These five hundred cavalry can't play a big role in the defense of the camp.
Why not attack outside! Listen! Immediately order all our cavalry, led by my general personally, to attack the enemy! "
"This." All the generals looked at each other, and the former general said: "The general is the chief general, how can he personally take risks? If something goes wrong, Qingshi Gang is in danger, so it is better for the junior general to go forward."
"It doesn't matter." Lian Xiao waved his hand and said directly: "After I leave, General Hu will temporarily take over the military affairs. This is a military order."
When he heard about the military order, the general could only reply: "Now that the general has made a decision, I dare not disobey him. When the general attacks and kills the enemy, the general will respond later."
"Okay." Lian Xiao nodded.
The Qin Army decided to take the initiative while the Ling Army was recuperating. Lian Xiao dared to attack the enemy's 60,000-strong army with only 500 cavalry. It was quite bold. And with his order, his troops quickly moved. stand up.
Half an hour later, Yin Dianbu.
The 60,000 spirit troops were basically sitting on the ground and resting. Some were gnawing on steamed buns, while others were chatting with others.
Wearing armor and marching for more than forty miles, anyone will feel tired, and the soldiers of the Ling Army are certainly no exception.
There is nothing wrong with the lieutenant's suggestion. Repair and fight again. Otherwise, attacking the elite with a tired army will only lead to a head-on attack.
Just as the spirit army was recovering its strength, Tan Ma's panicked shouting suddenly came from the front:
"No, General! The Qin army's cavalry is rushing towards us, and they will kill here soon!"
What! ? Hearing this, the deputy general was startled. Just as he was about to speak, Yin Dian became angry and said, "This is unreasonable! Order the troops to prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Enemy attack——"
"Prepare to meet the enemy——"
"Quick! Quick! Get up!"
Shouts spread among the Spirit Army, and the soldiers who were sitting on the ground were also a little panicked. They picked up their weapons and hurriedly looked for them to join the ranks. The scene was chaotic.
At this moment, the ground ahead had begun to shake, and the deafening sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, followed by hundreds of iron cavalry, sweeping in in an expanded position, mixed with billowing dust and smoke.
When is the most lethal time for cavalry? Of course it is during impact!
The Ling Army soldiers who hastily responded to the battle have not yet completed their formation, and the cavalry has already pressed forward.
Without anyone's instructions, the Qin troops on horseback took out their short crossbows and pulled the triggers directly.
A large number of crossbow arrows were fired, and in just a moment, they shot down the first two rows of spirit troops. Amidst the continuous miserable howls, Lian Xiang took the lead. The distance was quickly shortened with lightning speed, and the spear in his hand pointed forward, making a loud noise. shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill -" the shouts of killing broke out, and the five hundred cavalry behind them followed closely, all holding their swords high, and their speed did not slow down at all, and they rushed directly towards the spirit army.
At this time, the Spirit Army was caught off guard, and the crossbowmen had no time to get into position. Five hundred iron cavalry, with the charge of war horses, its momentum can be imagined. As soon as they made contact, countless Spirit Army soldiers were The war horse was knocked into the air, and under the impact, the Qin army on the horse even passed by with their swords, blood splattered.
It’s a long story, but it’s actually very fast. In just a moment, Qin’s cavalry swept past, directly scattered the spirit army, and among the infantry, they circled to the left and attacked and killed a large number of the spirit army. With the advantages of speed and flexibility, he escaped from the battlefield.
This was really an instant surprise attack, and he ran away after the impact. Even though Yin Dian was very skilled in martial arts, he couldn't do anything with this iron cavalry. Watching it leave the battlefield, he became so angry that he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Lian Xiao bullied me too much! That's right!" What is unbearable!"
