"Damn it!" Le Cheng suddenly looked at the army of crossbowmen who were shooting arrows at him in the distance. Ma Shan swept away all the Qin troops in front of him and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and kill."
After saying that, Le Cheng stepped up his horse's belly and rushed toward the crossbow corps.
The blood-red light extended ten feet from the horse's shaft, splitting the Qin army commander in two in the middle, and the rich evil energy enveloped Lecheng. Every time it was swung, several Qin soldiers died under the horse's shaft.
A large gap was opened in the Qin army in an instant. Countless Zhao troops poured in from the gap, expanding the gap continuously, and then followed Le Cheng to kill the Qin army's crossbow corps.
The Qin army was defeated step by step, and no one was an enemy of Le Cheng Yi He.
Bai Qi's face was gloomy, his eyes exuded endless cold light, and he ordered the Qin army to spread out to both sides, letting the Youyun cavalry in to fight, and then ordered the Guanzhong army to move back and block the retreat of the Youyun cavalry.
"Throw the thorns!"
A Qin army rushed over from the rear. Without saying a word, they threw black thorns at Youyun Iron Cavalry.
Looking at the inconspicuous little thing on the ground, Le Cheng felt an infinite chill in his heart and almost subconsciously ordered to stop.
But how could the running army stop at the drop of a hat? The war horses were running wildly. When the horses' hoofs fell, the weight of the horses, the weight of the cavalry, and the weight of the armor all fell on the horses' hoofs.
Even with the protection of the horse's iron hoofs, the caltrops still pierced the horseshoe effortlessly. Under the influence of inertia, the war horse ran forward for a few steps, and then suddenly fell to the ground. Its four hooves were already covered with caltrops.
, the cavalryman on his back rolled down, and before he could react, he was killed by the swarming Qin army.
Looking at the tragic death of Zhao Jun, Le Cheng's eyes were splitting with anger. Endless anger burned in his heart, and he ordered angrily: "Charge over!"
It is impossible to turn back. If it is an ordinary cavalry, there is still a possibility of turning back. However, both soldiers and horses of Youyun Iron Cavalry are wearing armor. Hundreds of kilograms of weight are placed on the horses. Even if they turn a corner, the horse
The legs may be broken.
Fortunately, the area covered by the caltrops is not wide. As long as Zhao Jun pays a certain price, it is not impossible to rush through.
"Haha!" The Qin army general glanced at Le Cheng with a sneer, and quickly led his men to retreat from both sides. Immediately afterwards, another Qin army appeared, throwing the iron caltrops behind them on the path that Youyun Cavalry must pass.
Soon, the third Qin army appeared, holding in their hands no longer iron caltrops, but piles of horse spears. Each cold spear was fixed on the crossbar, and the tip of the spear was pointed at the Zhao army, exuding endless energy.
of chill.
The Qin army stood behind the horse guns, holding spears, waiting for the Zhao army to rush over.
"Kill!" Jingtian led the Guanzhong Army to surround them from behind. Looking at the blocked Zhao Army, he let out an extremely hearty laugh and waved his weapon to chop at the Zhao Army, "Zhao Dog, go to hell!"
There are pursuers behind and interceptions in front.
Le Cheng calmed down in his heart. His talent slowly opened up and was stimulated to the extreme. A layer of blood-red luster appeared on the originally pure black aura of the Youyun Iron Cavalry, and everyone had a look of determination in their eyes.
"Kill!" Le Cheng roared, and the aura of the Youyun Iron Cavalry suddenly vibrated and condensed into a whole, almost tearing apart the Qin Army's war clouds. The war horses galloped towards the Qin Army without any hesitation.
The next moment, the horse's hooves hit the ground, the earth roared, and the iron caltrops were stepped into the deep soil. The speed of Youyun Iron Cavalry did not slow down at all, and it collided with the horse-rejecting gun with an overwhelming momentum.
Click!
Under the huge impact force, the horse-rejecting gun broke instantly and was trampled to pieces. The speed of Youyun Iron Cavalry slowed down slightly, but soon increased again.
"Youyun Iron Cavalry, I am invincible!" Le Cheng roared, and waved his horse from top to bottom. A terrifying light dozens of feet long appeared in front of the Qin army, shining like a bright sun, covering the entire sky.
boom!
The light exploded, and all the horse-repelling soldiers along the way were torn into pieces, along with the Qin army behind them.
Le Cheng looked back and saw that nearly one-fifth of the Youyun Iron Cavalry had been lost, but the morale had not been affected at all. Instead, the evil aura on his body had become thicker. Everyone looked at Qin Jun with fanaticism in their eyes.
"Brothers, do you still have the strength to fight?" Le Cheng asked loudly.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" all the soldiers shouted.
"Kill!" Le Cheng pointed his horse forward and rushed over again. The Qin army was overturned by the charge, and they kept falling under the hooves of the Zhao army.
"Miscalculation!" Bai Qi sighed in his heart. He had overestimated the combat effectiveness of Youyun Iron Cavalry as much as possible, but finally found that he still underestimated it. Even the cavalry's nemesis iron caltrops and horse-rejecting spears were ineffective against Youyun Iron Cavalry.
It was instantly crushed by the powerful impact.
The arrangement that was absolutely perfect for other cavalry was unexpectedly broken by Youyun Cavalry.
"Perhaps our Qin country also needs an army like this!" Bai Qi thought in his mind. Anyone who saw such an army would be tempted, but Bai Qi then put it out of his mind.
Even if it is established, that will happen later.
The difficulty now is how to win this battle.
If Qin is defeated in this battle, it is hard to say whether the country will have the strength to form such an army in the future.
"Shrink the formation and order Fei Lian's army to block Zhao Jun's Youyun Iron Cavalry." Bai Qi finally decided to send out Fei Lian's army. None of the other legions could block Youyun's Iron Cavalry.
On the other side, Touman almost encountered the same situation as Lecheng. Looking at the caltrops and the horse-rejecting spear lying in front of him, Touman's heart tightened, and he reined in his horse almost by instinct, and made an arc in front of the caltrops.
Kill towards the left.
The most important thing for this Zhao army, who were born from the Huns, was their riding skills. They relied on their riding skills to survive. Such a short distance was completely incomprehensible to others, but it was enough for them.
Following Touman's order, all the cavalry reacted at the same time, brushing against the iron caltrops formation to attack the other side of the Qin army.
"Bah, you still want to trick your grandfather and me." Touman spat at Qin Jun.
Many soldiers behind them followed Touman's example and spat at the Qin army, which made the Qin army furious and kept shooting arrows at them.
"General, the flag has moved." At this time, a guard reminded.
Touman quickly turned back and looked in the direction of Shuai Qi, "Kill to the left front? Where is the Qin army in the left front? Huh?"
Touman suddenly looked at the Qiang cavalry behind the Qin army.
What he attacked was the right wing of the Qin army, which was the left side for the Zhao army. There was no Qin army on the left. If there was, there was only a cavalry regiment hiding behind and not knowing what to do!
"I heard from the king that Bai Qi is a famous general in the world, so he shouldn't leave such an army behind." Touman was a little confused.
Ten thousand cavalry are a force that can change the direction of a war on any battlefield. Not to mention famous generals, even ordinary people cannot ignore them.
What Touman didn't know was that what Bai Qi was afraid of was the Qiang's power to change the course of the war.
He has been cheated by his pig teammates too many times. Before he was confident enough, he would rather give up some power to eliminate the hidden dangers of his pig teammates.
"There must be a conspiracy here, it's better to be careful." Touman is not a person with strong limbs and a simple mind. On the contrary, he is impulsive when he should be impulsive and cautious when he should be cautious.
Touman led the Zhao army to approach the Qiang cavalry. He first washed the ground with arrows, and then prepared to observe from the side before deciding whether to engage in close combat. At this moment, the Qiang cavalry suddenly turned around and ran away!
"General, it seems that this is not the Qin army, but the Qiang cavalry!" said one of the guards.
"Qiangqi! Chase me!" Touman suddenly realized, no wonder Bai Qi threw this group of people aside.
In the past few months, Man has been studying with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo would not hide anything from him. Sometimes he would ask him for his opinion. If what he said was right, Zhao Kuo would praise him. If what he said was wrong, Zhao Kuo would praise him.
Kuo will correct his mistakes.
During this time, Touman often heard Zhao Kuo criticize the Qiang cavalry. Although the Xiongnu used to advance when it was advantageous and retreat when it was not, the Xiongnu still had two or three capable legions, and they also had nominal single forces.
Yu, Shanyu's speech is still very useful when speaking to the outside world.
The Qiang cavalry were like a pile of loose sand, unable to hold themselves up against the wall.
If they were fighting for the Qiang people, they could barely have some cohesion, but the Qiang cavalry were fighting for the Qin State, so how could they devote themselves wholeheartedly.
When the Qiang cavalry saw Zhao Jun chasing after them, they quickly retreated.
This time they did not have any psychological burden. Bai Qi's order was to let them wander outside to look for opportunities. If the Qin army defeated the Zhao army, they would pursue the victory. If the Qin army was defeated, they would avoid fighting.
What they have to do now is to avoid war and preserve their vitality.
"You still want to escape, speed up!" Touman shouted.
The speed of the army behind them instantly increased a lot. Everyone's eyes were full of fire and they kept shooting arrows at the Qiang cavalry.
Killing a Qiang cavalry has the same military merit as killing a Qin army, but everyone knows that the Qin army is far more difficult to kill than the Qiang cavalry. It can be said that the two are not on the same level of difficulty.
Now that naked military exploits are before them, how could they let it go?
"Kill the Qiang cavalry, achieve military merit, get rewards, and get a wife!" Zhao Jun shouted excitedly. At this time, the Qiang cavalry were no longer enemies in their eyes, but coins, houses, and pieces of land.
Every beautiful wife.
"Fuck, why are they chasing us so hard? How about we turn around and fight them." A Qiang rider said loudly.
"Fight for your life! If you die in the battle, someone will snatch your wife, live in your house, spend your money, and beat your children." The companion held him tightly, hating that iron could not make steel.
said.
"Fuck, let's not fight anymore." All the murderous aura on the Qiang cavalry in front of him disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a hurried escape.
"Besides, we are Qiang people. Zhao is the enemy of Qin, but not our enemy. There is no need for us to fight for the Qin people. It is better to send people to ask for help from Lord Wu'an." said the companion.
When Touman led the pursuit of Qiang cavalry, Bai Qi saw it the first time, but he had no idea of sending troops to support.
If the Qiang cavalry did not escape, but chose to fight, he would definitely send troops to support him, and at the same time, he would cultivate and train the Qiang cavalry well in the coming time.
However, the Qiangqi chose to escape instead of fighting, so there was no need to save him.
Being able to hold back an elite cavalry unit of the Zhao army and reduce some pressure on the Qin army has already been fully utilized.
"After such a long period of training, the Qiang cavalry are still the same as before, a bunch of mud that can't hold up the wall!" Bai Qi sighed and quickly figured out the problem.
The Qiang people can never truly fight for Qin.
Not to mention the Qiang people, even the "proletarians" of the Qin State would not fight tooth and nail on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, those who fight the most bravely and are willing to fight are usually the sons of good families. They have houses, land, wives and children, and a fixed output at home. Although their lives are not rich, they have enough food and clothing for their wives and children.
No worries.
Or there are criminals who have family members who hope to atone for the sins of their family members by performing meritorious services.
These two types of people have one thing in common, that is, they care, or in other words, have a "handle" in Qin's hands.
The people who are least likely to risk their lives are those who are alone, have dead parents, are single, and have no wives and children. Qin Fa's harshness has little deterrent effect on these people.
The Qin State severely cracked down on this kind of people.
The Qiang cavalry corresponded to this kind of people in the Qin State. Their wives and children were in the Qiang tribe, not in the Qin State, so naturally they had no "handles" in the Qin State's hands.
Although the Qiang Cavalry agreed to help the Qin State in fighting, they themselves cherished their lives, which caused the Qiang Cavalry to stop moving forward once they encountered danger.
This can't just be solved through training.
If you want the Qiang cavalry to fight for Qin, either Qin will provide enough rewards, or they will move the Qiang people into Qin's territory, and you will have the Qiang cavalry's "handle."
But it was impossible for Qin to do both of these methods.
Zhao Guo openly destroyed the Huns, turned them into prisoners, and then spent several years polishing off the wild nature of these people, giving them some hope, and using military exploits to attract them to fight.
The Qin State did not destroy the Qiang people. The Qiang cavalry and the Qin army were equal.
The farmland and houses awarded by the Qin State's military merits are not attractive to the Qiang cavalry at all. Firstly, they cannot farm, and secondly, they are not Qin people, so what is the use of farmland?
Unless the Qin State turns the rewards into money and food, and increases them to a level that makes them work hard.
But in this case, the Qin army officers and soldiers should have opinions again.
They had sacrificed their lives for the Qin State to get a small reward. If they made a small mistake, most of it would be confiscated. After their death, their land would be taken back.
If the Qiang cavalry's reward is greater than theirs, who can agree?
The military merit system cannot be destroyed, and Qin cannot afford to let these soldiers down.
This makes the matter unsolvable.
The only way to get the Qiang cavalry to contribute was in Bai Qi's order: the Qin army defeated the Zhao army, and then sent the Qiang cavalry to pursue it. Seeing that there was a profit to be made, the Qiang cavalry would naturally pursue it.
But now the Qin army is not only unable to defeat the Zhao army, but is also at a disadvantage in the constant battles, and the Qiang cavalry are even less likely to contribute.
Seeing Fei Lian's army rushing towards him, Le Cheng did not choose to fight head-on. A wave of arrows washed the ground towards Fei Lian's army, and then led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to kill another legion. Fei Lian's army was powerful, but
It doesn't change the fact that the legs are short. After all, two legs can't run as fast as six legs.
