Chapter 703: The Longxi Cavalry became more and more courageous as they fought.
"Sabi!" Zhang Hu glanced at Xiang Shou disdainfully. Do you really think he is a fool? He is standing still in formation, waiting for him to hit him? He can't see the big shields as thick as door panels, and
A dense array of guns?
Even if he was really mentally retarded, there was no way he would just bump into him.
Of all the cavalry in the world, the only one who dares to directly attack the battle formation of the Guanzhong Jingjia Army is Le Cheng's Youyun Iron Cavalry.
As a military soul army, the Imperial Guard would not dare to do this without Zhao Kuo present.
Because even if you can win, you will suffer heavy losses.
War is not just about winning or losing, but about obtaining the greatest victory at the smallest cost.
That's why Sun Tzu said: The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city.
"Brothers, turn around and fire arrows!" Zhang Hu said loudly. When he was more than a hundred steps away from the Guanzhong Jingjia Army, he suddenly turned around, drew an arc, and headed in a direction parallel to the Guanzhong Jingjia Army.
Rush to the left and shoot at the enemy at the same time.
"Come after me if you have the ability." Zhao Jun looked at Qin Jun standing on the spot and let out bursts of ridicule.
Xiang Shou's cheeks turned red. Originally, there was nothing wrong with his response. It was impossible to watch Zhao Jun rushing over without any reaction. If he waited for Zhao Jun to get closer before setting up a large shield and gun array, it would be too late.
But Zhao Jun's ridicule made it difficult for him to hold his head up, feeling that he had done something wrong.
"General, shall we pursue him?" the deputy general looked at Xiang Shou.
Xiang Shou looked at him like an idiot, "Chasing? What are you going to do with two legs chasing someone with six legs?"
"Withdraw and attack the Zhao army's infantry." A fierce look flashed in Xiang Shou's eyes. The cavalry could run away, but the Zhao army's infantry was still there.
He wanted to see if Zhao's cavalry could still laugh when all the Zhao army's infantry were killed.
Zhang Hu rode on his horse and quickly judged the battlefield situation. At this time, the Zhao army was completely defeated. The Qin army was three times the number of the Zhao army, and there were iron eagle warriors as the vanguard, which made it difficult for the Zhao army to resist.
When the Guanzhong Jingjia Army joins in, the Zhao army will be defeated even faster.
Without the Iron Eagle Army and the elite Guanzhong Army, even if the Qin Army was three times the size of the Zhao Army, it would not have been possible to complete the siege. The Zhao Army was overall more elite than the Qin Army, and this was a plain.
But the Iron Eagle Rui broke the balance between the two sides.
Although Zhang Hu is not a famous general, he is still a top student who has studied at Handan College for several years. He has studied the art of war and participated in many wars. He understands that the top priority is not how to defeat the Qin army, but to save as many Zhao troops as possible to retreat.
"You guys, please give this letter to the king immediately, saying that our army has been defeated and is in urgent need of support." Zhang Hu thought for a moment, took out the pen and ink from his horse bag, and quickly described the battlefield situation, the Qin army's troop deployment, as well as the commander and principal
The general recorded it and gave it to his personal guards, ordering them to be handed over to Zhao Kuo as soon as possible.
Then, Zhang Hu led thousands of cavalrymen to run around the entire battlefield. They did not rush into formation, but kept shooting arrows at the Qin army, looking for opportunities.
As long as he is still there, the Qin army will have to divert some of its energy to guard against him and not dare to attack with all its strength.
Ji Xin constantly directed the army to shrink its formation, and at the same time withdrew the injured soldiers and let the uninjured soldiers go forward.
But every time the Iron Eagle Warriors would seize the opportunity, increase the intensity of their attacks, and cause a large number of casualties to the Zhao army.
Zhao Jun fought and retreated. The ground was completely stained red with blood, and his feet seemed to be stepping on a pool of blood, which made it difficult to move forward.
The smiles on Qin Jun's faces gradually became crazier. They had already seen the scene of Zhao Jun's entire army being annihilated.
"puff!"
An Iron Eagle warrior suddenly appeared in front of Ju Xin, and a large piece of flesh flew out from his shoulder. Ju Xin endured the pain and beheaded the Iron Eagle warrior.
Lou Fanjun's body was already stained red with blood, his armor turned into a beggar's costume, and there were severe pains in his chest and abdomen. He didn't know how many ribs were broken.
Ordinary soldiers still have the opportunity to rotate, but they can only stay at the front.
If they hadn't attracted most of the firepower of the Iron Eagle Ruins, Zhao Jun would have been unable to withstand it now.
"General, I have no arrows!" Two quarters of an hour later, a cavalryman suddenly said.
"We have no arrows either." Other cavalrymen also said one after another.
Zhang Hu reached for the quiver, but found nothing. He sighed deeply and slowly took out the scimitar. Seeing this, Zhao Jun behind him seemed to understand something and took out the scimitar from the horse bag.
"Kill!" Zhang Hu waved his long sword forward, roared angrily, and led the Zhao army to charge towards the Qin army.
"Kill!" All the Zhao troops behind them suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Qin army.
Now that the war has started, the Qin Army is no longer at its peak in terms of physical strength and spirit. Zhang Hu is targeting the Qin Army's weakest point. The running cavalry instantly pierces into the Qin Army's body like a sharp dagger.
.
Countless blood flowers bloomed, and the Qin army fell to the ground continuously under the impact of the cavalry and was trampled into pulp.
"Withdraw!" Ju Xin seized the opportunity, quickly gathered thousands of remaining soldiers, and withdrew towards the place where Zhang Hu attacked.
Wei Ran kept directing the surrounding Qin troops to surround the Zhao army. Zhang Hu took the lead, and his inner energy continued to pour out of his body. With the strength at the peak of the Gang Yuan realm, few people in the Qin army were his opponents. Except for extraordinary warriors, even more
No one can leave him.
"Qin people, all die!" Zhang Hu became more and more crazier as he killed. He kept waving his hands and cut the Qin army in half with one knife, shouting, "Kill out!"
"Kill out!" All the Zhao troops shouted, fighting outside despite the heavy encirclement of the Qin troops.
The cavalry charged in front, and the infantry followed behind.
It wasn't until a certain moment that Zhang Hu suddenly felt his eyes light up and slashed away with his big sword, only to realize that he had been killed.
However, the Zhao army was not out of danger. After the Qin army found that it could not contain the cavalry, it quickly changed its tactics and surrounded the infantry again.
Wei Ran's face was a bit unsightly. Zhao Jun's fighting will was too strong and he would rather die than surrender. Until now, the Qin Army's losses were actually not much less than those of Zhao Jun. If the Iron Eagle Ruins and Guanzhong Elites were removed,
There is no obvious difference in the number of enemies killed by Army A and the losses suffered by both sides.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the number of Qin's army is three times that of Zhao's.
This means that the main force of the Zhao army can defeat three times the main force of the Qin army.
The strength gap between the two sides cannot be so large, but since the war, Zhao Jun has always enjoyed the best treatment, and his morale has never been low.
On the other hand, the morale of the Qin army continued to suffer. For a long time, they could not even sleep at night. They were either worried about the sudden rain of arrows falling from the sky or worried about the Zhao army's attack.
The fact that King Qin failed to attack Zhao Kuo made the Qin army feel extremely embarrassed. The treatment of the soldiers on both sides made the ordinary soldiers unbalanced and even deserted.
Although various incidents did not cause too many casualties, they effectively damaged the morale of the Qin army and reduced the Qin army's combat effectiveness.
"It seems that Rangcheng cannot be defended for long." Wei Ran sighed in his heart.
They originally planned to weaken Zhao Jun's strength by constantly bleeding Zhao Jun, and finally reverse the situation of the war.
But Sima Jin's entire legion was destroyed, causing them to lose their prerequisites.
In a head-to-head encounter, the Qin army was no longer a match for the Zhao army.
On the other side, seeing Qin Kai dedicate half of his troops, Wang Jian no longer hesitated and immediately led the Longxi cavalry to charge forward. Qin Kai did not avoid the battle and led the Zhao army to meet him.
The speed of both sides continued to increase. After the distance was shortened, they opened their bows and shot arrows at the same time. As soon as the three waves of arrow rain passed, both sides changed their swords at the same time.
At nearly the ultimate speed, the two sides collided with each other. Blood spattered in the lightning and flint. Countless cavalrymen fell off their horses and were trampled to pieces by the rushing horses.
The blood on the Longxi cavalry became richer, and even the horses under their crotches were shrouded in red.
"Kill!" Wang Jian felt that the strength of the Longxi cavalry was getting stronger, and he was very happy and rushed towards Zhao Jun again.
The two sides penetrated each other three times in a row, and the battle loss ratio of the Longxi cavalry was equal to that of the Zhao army.
At this moment, the aura exuded by the Longxi cavalry even surpassed that of the Zhao army.
"Terrible growth potential, but unfortunately the strength is too weak. It takes nearly half of the people to reach the peak every time." Qin Kai looked at the Longxi Cavalry and whispered.
The foundation of the Longxi cavalry was average, so every time they fought with the Zhao army, they had to lose a lot of soldiers in order to increase their strength to a level similar to that of the Zhao army.
Except for rare situations like today, most of the time, the Zhao army could retreat before the strength of the Longxi cavalry reached its peak, without giving the Qin army a chance to show off.
This resulted in the Longxi cavalry losing a large number of soldiers every time they fought, but they were unable to produce corresponding effects.
No country can bear such a loss of cavalry, not to mention Qin, not even Zhao.
This also caused the Qin cavalry to be unable to increase in size, and was even embarrassed to the point of borrowing troops from the Qiang people.
The smile on Wang Jian's face did not become brighter because of the improvement in the strength of the Longxi cavalry. Instead, it disappeared without a trace. He also thought of the problem that Qin Kai thought of.
When the cavalry was first trained, the enemy they faced was the Qiang cavalry, which was completely different from the Hebei cavalry, so no one thought about this problem.
Now the problem has arisen, but how to solve it has become a difficult problem.
Even if Wang Jian was extremely talented, he still couldn't come up with a solution in such a short period of time.
"Kill!" After a moment, Wang Jian put all his thoughts behind and once again led the Longxi cavalry to kill the Zhao army. The top priority was to defeat the Zhao army. As for improving the strength of the Longxi cavalry, we will talk about it later.
The two armies fought bloody battles again. This time, the number of Zhao army's fallen exceeded that of the Qin army.
Both sides stopped, both men and horses were breathing heavily, their whole bodies were stained red with blood, and almost everyone in the Zhao army was injured.
The strong evil aura all over Qin Jun's body almost condensed into substance, and he looked at Zhao Jun with a murderous look. Zhao Jun threw the scimitar full of gaps on the ground, took out a brand new scimitar from the horse bag, and looked firmly ahead.
That majestic figure.
They are waiting for the final order.
"General Qin Kai, I have been ordered by the king to lead my troops to support you." At this time, a loud sound came from the distance, like thunder rolling in the sky.
He Zongjun was worried that the Zhao army would not be able to hold on, so in order to boost the morale of the Zhao army, he summoned up his inner strength and shouted loudly before he arrived at the battlefield.
"Our reinforcements are coming!" Zhao Jun shouted excitedly. His dry body was instantly filled with strength, and he fought hard towards the Qin army.
"Thank you Mr. He Zong." Qin Kai finally felt relieved and a smile broke out on his old face.
"The king is right behind and will be here soon. We just fought with Bai Qi and wiped out all the Qin Fei Lian army. Many of the legions were damaged, so we were a little slow. It's a pity that Bai Qi was allowed to run. That Bai Qi is a loach.
, I can’t catch it no matter what.” He Zongjun said loudly.
Zhao Kuo did not come, but Tian Dan and Li Si did lead the army behind. These words were taught to him by Li Si.
When Wei Ran heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He didn't know whether what He Zongjun said was true or false, but he knew the power of these words to the Qin army.
Sure enough, as soon as He Zongjun finished speaking, the morale of half of the Qin army plummeted. The other half was not because of a firm mind, but because of the noise on the battlefield and did not hear what He Zongjun said clearly.
"Send the order...withdraw the troops!" Wei Ran looked at the last remaining less than 3,000 infantrymen of the Zhao army. He clenched his hands into fists and dug his nails deeply into his palms. Dark red blood seeped out from his palms and dripped along his joints.
On the ground.
"General!" The surrounding generals looked unwilling. In two quarters of an hour at most, they would be able to wipe out all the remaining Zhao troops.
"Withdraw the troops." Wei Ran ordered again. Zhao's reinforcements have arrived. It is no longer possible for them to annihilate all Zhao's infantry. If they do not leave, the Qin army may fall into danger.
"Retreat!" After receiving the order, Xin Wu, Xiang Shou and other generals glanced at the Zhao army reluctantly and led the Zhao army to retreat one after another.
When the Zhao army saw the Qin army retreating, they burst into earth-shattering cheers. They supported each other and watched the Qin army leave.
They did not pursue him because they had no strength left.
The still-living military doctor quickly came out from the rear carrying a medicine box and treated the wounded.
During combat, military doctors are the key targets of protection, and everyone tries their best to prevent the military doctors from being injured. Everyone knows that as long as the military doctors are still there, they are equivalent to half an extra life.
However, because the war was so fierce, military doctors could not avoid dying on the battlefield.
"It's too late for the end!" After meeting Qin Kai, He Zongjun did not continue to call himself the king, but changed his name to the end general.
Qin Kai is not well-known in the Central Plains, and cannot be compared with many generals, because the Central Plains does not regard Rong Di as a person, so defeating Rong Di and expanding the territory by two thousand miles is nothing worth bragging about.
But He Zongjun was born in Rongdi, and what he fears most is Qin Kai, a ruthless person who specializes in fighting Rongdi. Even if the opponent has just experienced a huge defeat, he does not dare to look down upon him in the slightest.
"You came just in time." Qin Kai saluted Lord He Zong gratefully. If the other party was a little later, Zhao Jun would not have many people left, whether they were cavalry or infantry. "Please also ask the general to be responsible for guarding the surrounding area and helping to clean the battlefield.
.”
"It's all as it should be." He Zongjun said. With a wave of his left hand, the cavalry behind him dispersed and went to guard the surrounding areas. The other part dismounted to clean the battlefield and collect the corpses of Zhao Jun who died in the battle.
It is impossible to transport the corpse back to Zhao State. We can only burn it, put the ashes in a box, return it to Zhao State, and place it in the Hall of Heroes for the whole country to worship.
The Qin army did not launch a second raid.
After a while, Tian Dan led the rear army and brought a large number of doctors to treat all the wounded.
