Chapter 268 Fight or not fight?(2/2)
Although there is a plain in front of Yuguan, this small plain is only a few dozen miles in a radius, which is still too narrow for 15,000 cavalrymen and is difficult to fully unfold.
In addition to the three thousand Longxiang Army, the remaining 12,000 people were all light cavalry. The best way for light cavalry was to go straight and go, and harasse the infantry from all directions with the advantage of speed. It was not until the infantry's physical strength and arrows were consumed a lot of the infantry's physical strength and arrows suddenly launched an attack, and it was a final decision.
But the terrain is not enough to support the Zhao army in doing so now, and the Qin army on the opposite side does not have this concern because it is mainly infantry, and the deployment of hundreds of chariots is not a problem at all.
In other words, if Lian Po really wanted to start a war with the Qin army head-on, he would have to use the Longxiang army to rush forward and go straight to the front.
The problem is that this is not the first time that the Longxiang Army is so upright and its fame has been fought long ago. Who can guarantee that the scheming Bai Qi on the opposite side is not waiting for you here, and what tricks and tricks are set up to deal with the Longxiang Army?
Defend or attack?
Now it seems that both options have obvious disadvantages, whether they are defense or offense.
Which one should I choose?
Lian Po narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The entire Longxiang Army is here, come out of seclusion and prepare to fight!"
Lian Po did not intend to give in.
Or, he had no capital to give in.
First of all, it is actually a bit stupid to let 15,000 cavalry dismount to guard such a small pass with almost no geographical advantage.
Secondly, even if Lian Po really did this, his soldiers were all light cavalrymen, and when defending the city, they lacked enough long-range weapons and equipment to fight against the Qin army with a large number of crossbowmen.
Finally, from the mouth of Ying Zhao, the former supreme commander of Yuguan, Lian Po, he learned that the Yuguan side had sent an envoy to Xinzheng for help as soon as he noticed that Lian Po's troops arrived.
As long as the Xinzheng side's speed is fast enough, at least two days or more than three days, the Xinzheng side's army will arrive and join the Qin army to attack Yuguan from north to south.
By that time, Lian Po had really been wrapped in dumplings.
Therefore, after Lian Po confirmed that Bai Qi in front of him did have an army, he not only did not have any fear or fear, but was aroused from fighting spirit.
Although he occupied Yuguan, the situation was still unfavorable for Lian Po.
However, as long as you can defeat Bai Qi's army in front of you, everything will be completely different.
At that time, Yu Pass can be defended and the Qin army's food route will be cut off. The South Korean army in Xinzheng is not worth worrying. Everything can be smoothly connected and eventually lead to the victory of Zhao State!
With the order of Lian Po, he had been resting in Yu Pass for an hour. The Zhao cavalry, who had simply used food and water, hung on their horses again, drove out of the pass along the narrow gate, and set up again.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Bai Qi looked at all this unexpectedly. After a while, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a very strange curve.
"Liang Po? This guy...is really interesting. Well, let me see how powerful the Longxiang Army of Zhao State, which is famous all over the world, is."
The generals of both sides were all long-time generals, so there were naturally no problems in the arrangement of troops. Soon, all the war preparations were ready.
Lian Po clenched the saber in his hand slightly, pulled it out with a clang, and looked up at the sky.
It's at least one and a half hours before the sun sets, which is enough.
Lian Po raised his saber high and shouted loudly: "The left and right troops are scattered and ready to harass! Longxiang Army, start advancing!"
Accompanied by Lian Po's order, two Zhao army cavalry, two 2,000 each, rode out from the formation, preparing to harass the two wings of the Qin army located in the northeast from both northwest and southeast.
On the front, there were the three thousand most elite cavalrymen in Zhao State - the Longxiang Army. As for the other Zhao army cavalry, they acted as the main force of the central army in the rear.
Bai Qi's face was also constantly giving orders.
"Central crossbowmen! The chariots set up defensive formations on the front, and the shield soldiers went to the left and right wings. The Zhao army's light cavalry harassment will be ignored! The spearmen and halberd soldiers are all behind the chariot formation, ready to deal with the Longxiang Army of Zhao State!"
The war is about to break out.
At this moment, a sudden news disrupted Bai Qi's arrangement.
A Qin army scout came to Bai Qi panting and reported a message that Bai Qi would never want to hear at this moment.
