Chapter 125 Blood Red
At the same time, both Chu and Qin put their hopes of victory on the cavalry. The difference is that the Qin army's counterattack was whether the two-wing cavalry war seriously weakened the Chu army's cavalry. Only by consuming most of the Chu army's cavalry, the hook and forward attack against the Qi army array could be carried out; what determines the Chu army's attack was whether the three armies' infantry war seriously weakened the Qin army's infantry. Only by consuming at least two military formations of the Qin army, three heavy cavalry wedge formations could break through the formation and go straight to the Qin army's shogunate.
For the Qin army, if there are few coalition soldiers, you can win if you break the formation; for the coalition soldiers, if there are many Qin army, you can defeat the enemy if you kill the owl.
The strong support of the city soldiers and Zhao Teng's hesitation at the critical moment made the Qin army's attack plan fail. Before the Qi army's array was defeated, the heavy cavalry of the Chu army had broken through the Qin army's central army and rushed towards the Qin army's shogunate. When the Huainan Division's spear formation broke through the gap and began to attack sideways, the Qin army's central army immediately fell into a three-sided siege that was worse than the previous Qi army. The array was defeated for a while, and the sound of retreating soldiers rang out at this time.
The military formation was defeated by the enemy, and it was not impossible to retreat. Retreat and prevent the enemy from attacking more arrays through the gap and the back were originally a normal stop loss. However, retreating is always more difficult than attacking, especially in such unfavorable circumstances, especially the retreat of the three thousand and five hundred military formations in Hengchen. Liu Chi intuitively felt that once he retreated, the entire line would collapse immediately.
Wang Jian disagreed. He believed that the military formation could retreat and at least most of the soldiers could be retreated. Only when the 3,500 military formations at the front successfully retreated can the Qin army achieve the final victory. It can be said that retreating is not just a stop loss, but also a must for victory. However, if he, a general, wants to command the Qin army to achieve the final victory, he must first survive the attack of the heavy cavalry of the Chu army.
"Arrangement--!" Wang Luoli, the general of the personal guard, rode to the front of the shogunate, commanded the short-range soldiers. The thousand guard soldiers affiliated with the guards, led by the guards, lined up Fusu in the inner circle of the shogunate short-range soldiers array. The two arrays, plus the originally resisting horse and chariot array outside the shogunate, protected the Qin army's shogunate heavily.
‘Boom boom boom boom boom...’ The last Qin army formation was thrown into a heavy grenade by the Chu light cavalry. The Qin soldiers in giant armor in front of the formation were blown away by the grenade. Even if the Qin soldiers in leather armor were not blown away, they were hit by shrapnel like heavy rain. In the depth of forty rows, the formation composed of 140,000 Qin troops seemed to have been drilled out of a hole by awl. The heavy cavalry led by Gui Jing flew past like a wind, and the array was already scattered. Jing Sheng, who was chasing closely, still maintained a complete formation, and the cavalry formation ran towards the Qin army shogunate more than 300 steps away at a not-fast pace.
"General Jing!" Five hundred thousand Qin soldiers were behind him, and there were only four thousand short soldiers in front of him to protect the Qin army shogunate. imitating Xiong Jing, Gui Jing pressed the envy in his heart and shouted Jing Sheng, and the nickel sword in his hand pointed directly at the flying feather flag above the shogunate.
"Helping!" Jing Sheng did not answer. He followed the hundreds of light cavalry carrying grenades in front of him, and the speed of the war horse under his crotch was faster.
Gui Jing didn't care whether he answered or not, nor did he need to reverse the Qin army array that he had just broken through like Xiong Jing. He lowered his horse speed so that the more than 600 cavalry he led was overtaken by Jing Sheng's cavalry formation. He would break into the shogunate after Jing Sheng broke through the military formation outside the shogunate. He believed that as long as he killed Wang Jian and seized the feather flag, the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who were retreating would go from retreating to fleeing. Once the Qin army fled, the war would be completely over.
The north wind became colder, and the snow dust that Jing Sheng stepped on came to his face, his calves were unconscious, and his fatigue was as heavy as a mountain. Even so, Gui Jing couldn't laugh at himself. He seemed to see his wife waiting for him, his son who was half a man who was already tall and disgusted, and his daughter who had just spoken. He also saw that Chu became the overlord of the world, forcing all countries in the world to go to war without authorization. He also saw that his fief was in mortar. He walked through this small city several times, and he personally cleaned and wiped every stone. He suddenly thought: After the war, he might have to build a few sea boats. Even if he didn't go to Xizhou to trade, he should occupy a piece of land and build a city.
Chasing Jing Sheng's cavalry formation, Gui Jing couldn't help but fantasize about the future after the war. Behind him, the Qin army who heard the sound of gold retreated in panic, and the coalition soldiers chased and cheered. Xiong Jing, who was not involved in the fight, was staring at Jing Sheng's general flag. Two heavy cavalry formations rushed towards the Qin army's shogunate. Wang Jian would be killed without any surprises, but what should Fusu do? If Fusu died in this battle, Qian Xi would be in pain.
Xiong Jing thought of Mi Qian, and Sima Zhuang, the other side of the front line, looked at the irresistible trembling of the Jujia Yi spear in front of him. The Jujia was strangely cracked, and there were no common metal rolled barbs at the break, but there were cracks like tortoise shells that had never been seen before. If it weren't for the fact that it was a Chu-made gigantic armor, he would have thought it was a tile in the palace.
The giant armor is like this, and the barbarian spear is similar. The barbarian spear has somehow broken, revealing the silver-white spear body. There are no metal-shaped rolls or barbs on it. The once invincible barbarian spear turned into silver-white dead branches.
"This is true for all the teachers?!" Zhuang Wudi, who was gasping for air conditioning, looked at Sima Douwei, the commander of Nanjun, longing for him to say no.
"Report to the Sima of the Army, all the troops are like this!" Nanjun Shishi protected the artillery formation of the Right Army, closest to the entire army. The troops led the Douzhi to find that the armor was abnormal and he hurriedly ordered the troops to send it to him personally. "The troops led the troops and armor were damaged for no reason, not as usual. This may be the spirit of the gods, please ask Da Ao and the army Sima Sansi."
"Don't speak to others!" Zhuang Wudi took a deep breath and asked the Douwei to retreat. He wanted to find Xiong Jing on the other side of the front line, but unfortunately the Qin army's retreat was timid, and the pursuit of the coalition forces aroused more snow dust. The north wind roared, and these snow dust covered everything. The entire battlefield was only half cheering and half shouting. He hesitated and thought, not knowing how to make a decision.
If not only the soldiers and armor of the Nanjun Division were different, but the soldiers and armor of the entire army were different, then the subsequent battle would be in great danger. At this time, the army should be withdrawn, and the cause should be carefully found before the decisive battle with the Qin army. If only the soldiers and armor of the Nanjun Division were different, and the soldiers suddenly sounded and withdrawn when the Qin army retreated, it would be equivalent to letting the Qin people go and watching them escape, with endless troubles.
At this moment, Zhuang Wudi hesitated, Xiong Jing stared at and Gui Jing smiled. Looking at the heavy cavalry of the Chu army getting closer and closer, Wang Jian's hand was still moving, his eyes were not blinking. While the Chu army was getting closer, the shogunate ordered cavalry to go out everywhere. With the latest army's orders, they were not blocked by the heavy cavalry of the Chu army. They were quickly running towards the military formation ahead.
Seeing this scene, Wang Jian felt half relieved, but only half. Whether the Qin army could win depends on how many Qin soldiers in the front could be safe and then retreat, and also on whether the Chu infantry would pursue him unyieldingly. If any of the two is wrong, the Qin army will eventually fail.
"The general has his order, and they will change the bronze arrows!" The heavy cavalry rushed over, and the humble shout of Wang Luo, the general of the personal guard, sounded from the shogunate.
The powerful crossbow is a powerful weapon. Because of its huge power and lower hardness, bronze arrowheads can also shoot through the Chu army's armor. The biggest advantage of the bronze arrowheads is mass production, which can be made into arrows after casting. The giant iron arrowheads require repeated carburization and forging, and also very exquisite quenching. The Qin army has giant iron arrowheads, but more are bronze arrowheads.
The Chu cavalry was still two hundred steps away, and the strong crossbow had been turned on. Under the military order, all the huge iron arrows were replaced with bronze arrows. The crossbowman looked at the Chu cavalry getting closer and closer from the hole, and his breathing became tighter and tighter.
"Cheat--!" Wang Luo suddenly shouted loudly when he saw that the Chu cavalry in front had already rushed into a hundred steps.
"Shoot!" The crossbow chief shouted, "Bang bang bang bang bang..." A series of crossbow arms hits, and more than 500 arrows were flying. It was not too late to see if these arrows hit Chu Qi, and the crossbow formation was full of shouts of "quick winding".
"Jing Crossbow..." A hundred light cavalry holding grenadiers ran right in front of the cavalry formation. From the front, there was no way to see that the Qin army's shogunate had arranged more than 500 Jing crossbows. Only when the crossbow arrows flew out, they saw these excellent camouflaged Jing crossbows.
The initial speed of Jingbird is only 90 meters per second, which is far lower than the initial speed of the cannon. The arrows can fly at a distance of 100 steps for more than one second. Theoretically, the light cavalry still has time to dodge, but suddenly more than 500 arrows were shot out, and they had no way to avoid it. Jing Sheng, who was leading the formation, saw a rain of arrows flying in front of him. The man shouted that half of the light cavalry were shot down under the neighing of the horse, and the grenades in their hands also fell to the ground.
All the grenades on the light rider were ignited, just like the thunder bomb time tube, burning was limited in time. Jing Sheng shook his head and shouted behind him: "Shield!" The shield in his hand had been raised, but at a distance of 100 steps, the arrows shot from the powerful crossbow were invincible. These arrows shot through the light rider came with the sound of wind, not only shot through the shield in his hand, but also penetrated the nickel-giant armor on his body.
The war horse was still galloping. Although Jing Sheng, who was hit hard, had his legs clamped his abdomen, the spear and shield on his hand fell one after another. After running for more than ten steps, he finally fell on the snow, as light as a snowflake.
The only remaining more than forty light cavalry struggled to throw the grenade into the chariot formation, resisting the horses and the short-soldier formation behind it. ‘Boom boom boom boom boom…’, the explosion sounded, accompanied by gunfire smoke, and more than two hundred dead knights crossed the obstacle of the explosion, and the cavalry spears in their hands hit the panicked short-soldier array. The spears of both sides broke almost at the same time, making a crisp sound. The military formation under the heavy blow suddenly sunk, and the knights were also killed and injured. The remaining knights abandoned their spears and drew their swords, slashed the heads of the short-sucking soldiers, but the huge sword in their hands had been broken into several sections.
The knight was not just a sword. After the broken sword, the knight pulled out the sword behind him and broke the sword body again. In this way, the huge armor was inexplicably damaged. The copper spear used by the Qin army unexpectedly pierced the huge armor on the body of the horse, stabbing the horse's knight and the dragon horse together. There was no weapon in his hand, and the strong huge armor seemed to have been witchcrafted by the Qin people, and instantly turned into Chu paper. Panic spread in the hearts of all the knights until a few of their survivors rushed through the short-soldier formation.
While the grenadiers in front exploded, the grenadier tubes scattered in the snow burned to the end and exploded suddenly. Gui Jing, who was about to chase Jing Sheng into the short-soldier array, knew the power of the grenadiers. In order to avoid these grenadiers, he had to start turning far away. The heavy cavalry is not a light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry array is not a light cavalry array. Any steering is no less than a single rushing formation. When the entire cavalry formation completed the 360 turn, more than 600 knights under Jing Sheng almost disappeared into the Qin army formation.
"Attack--!" A heavy cavalry formation almost disappeared, Gui Jing's eyes were red, he drew his sword and shouted, and rushed towards the array where Jing Sheng had just attacked. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. The heavy cavalry that Qin Zhu could not kill in the past disappeared in less than half a quarter of an hour.
"Shoot!" Taking advantage of Gui Jing's delay in turning, the crossbow was finished and the arrows flying out shot towards the cavalry formation at a closer distance. The knight could no longer dodge. With a loud scream, Gui Jing's mount suddenly fell.
"Guan..." Xiong Jing, who was hundreds of steps away, exclaimed. Through the last military formation of the Qin army, he could only see the upper body of the heavy cavalry knight in the middle of the line-up of spears. Jing Sheng was gone, Gui Jing was gone, and there was only one side of the flag of the two. He didn't know what was going on, but only knew that more than 720 heavy cavalry knights and more than 530 light cavalry knights disappeared.
Except for the entangled Qin army, the entire Qin army was retreating strode, and the last Jujia army formation was moving forward quickly. Seeing the gap in the Jujia army formation that was broken by Gui Jing was slowly closing, Xiong Jing subconsciously rode forward.
‘Dangdangdang…’ The sound of the skull sounded loudly at this time. The knights on the horse ran through their heads and iron helmets, and they heard the sound of the skull sounds. Even if they heard the sound of the skull sounds, they thought it was the sound of the skull sounds of the Qin people. However, on the west side of the front line, under the order of Zhuang Wudi, the skull sounded the bronze skull sounded, and the feather flags were completely pointed, which was to order all soldiers to retreat.
The voices of the two armies met, and the first one to hear the voices were the soldiers of the right army of the coalition. They were in the south of the shogunate, and the voices came with the wind. The soldiers who were chasing couldn't believe it when they heard the voices. When they saw the feather flag on the shogunate had already pointed at the back, they confirmed that it was the shogunate.
"The shogunate has already been clamoring, my teacher can't chase after me anymore!" Shi Sima Douchang ran to Ruo Ao alone and shouted, pointing his finger at the shogunate.
"Shuofu Ming?!" Ruo Ao Du Xing's face was full of surprise, but this surprise was covered by Tie Zhou and his robes and was not exposed at all. He followed Dou Chang's hand and looked at the shogunate. Yu Jing did point back and ordered the army to retreat.
"Why is the shogunate?!" he asked in confusion.
"I don't know, maybe it's too late." Dou Chang didn't know the reason. After the Qin cavalry attacked, the right army array did not rush forward again. Now the Qin army finally retreated, but the shogunate suddenly roared.
"There is still one hour to set the sun!" Ruo Ao said hatefully. The sunset he mentioned was actually dark.
"The shogunate has a life, my teacher..." Douchang also made random guesses. When he suggested that Ruoao walk alone and retreat, a brigade commander in front of him shouted and interrupted him: "The shogunate is sir, but Da Ao is coming!"
