Chapter 183 Megatron(1/2)
Chapter 183 Shocking the World
Amidst the trembling of the earth and the roar of chariots, the Luo people shouted in unison that the Qin people were dead and wounded.
Corpses were strewn across the field, with flesh and blood everywhere. Under the trampling of the defeated troops, no whole corpses could be seen at all.
Luo Ji charged under the protection of the guards. He had a command of more than 80, so there was no problem in simply being a cavalry commander.
After another round of strangulation, Luo Ji brandished his sword and loudly ordered: "The Qin army is defeated, but they are just pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The arrows were thrown, killing those who went south, and those who went north alive, leading the defeated troops to charge into the Qin army's camp.
The cavalry disperses, and the chariot soldiers cover their faces with armor. Be careful, and be careful that the Qin army does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and will be killed by arrows."
The messengers dispersed one after another to spread Luo Ji's orders.
Soon the Qin army's defeated troops, forced by the Luo people's initiative, formed a huge torrent and rushed towards the Qin army's camp.
The armor of these defeated soldiers was basically discarded in the process of escaping, and all of them were disgraced, with blood splattered on their bodies and faces.
The Luo cavalry were hanging with bows and arrows from a distance behind and to the side of the Qin army.
The sound of "dong-dong-dong" coming from the chariot was constantly threatening these terrified Qin people.
The extremely easy killing by the Luo army drove all the Qin soldiers to move forward with their legs, which were gradually weak and sore, as if there was fire burning in their chests.
The scene of a large-scale cavalry charge, thousands of horses galloping, and the earth trembles. If you have never seen it with your own eyes, the shock and terror it brings are unimaginable.
Except for the elite, most people will be so frightened that they can't even hold their weapons and collapse.
The Qin army could only be described as frightened. Some people even heard the sound of arrows grazing and thought they had been hit by an arrow.
With a cry of sorrow, despair suddenly emerged in his heart. The breath he had been holding relaxed, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground in an instant, and was trampled into a pulp by the surging crowd behind him.
Red, white, black, yellow, green, mixed into a puddle of things that no one can recognize.
Looking at the surging flow of people, Bai Cheng's face was so dark that it almost dripped with water.
With such heavy casualties, even if he returned to the country in his capacity, he would still be unable to bear the consequences.
But the battle still has to go on, and now the only chance to get rid of the crime and make meritorious service is to defeat the Luo cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of them.
Facing his comrades who had completely lost order, Bai Cheng decisively ordered, "Fire the arrow!"
Scatter these deserters.
Kill the Luo people together with them.
We must not let them rush to the front of the camp!"
As Luo Ji expected, the generals of the Qin army decisively attacked the defeated troops.
Under the fire of a large number of bows and crossbows, the defeated troops of the Qin army fell down one after another like weeds on the ridges of the fields.
Those powerful crossbows can even string broken troops into gourds.
Because the defeated troops are too dense and have no armor, even those relatively weak arrows will still cause huge damage to them and can easily penetrate their bodies.
Countless Qin people were nailed to the ground, wailing in pain, and bright blood flowed everywhere along the arrow shafts.
Even though the Qin people in the camp were used to seeing life and death, facing this scene and the Qin people still felt too cruel.
Bai Cheng's eyes were full of coldness, and his heart was bleeding. In order to prevent these defeated troops from attacking the camp, all the few arrows he had left were used up.
Luo Ji once again ordered that the brave warriors wandering on one side of the defeated army should be withdrawn, and the Qin army should be routed. There was a river not far away on that side, which was a dead end.
The arrows fired from the Qin army's camp have gradually become sparse.
Groups of soldiers came out in formation, tall banners fluttering in the wind.
Bai Cheng's military orders and arrangements have been completed. He will lead an army of 60,000 to fight Luo Ji.
This 60,000-strong army is mainly composed of infantry and chariots. There are but not many cavalry, which are mainly used for scouting and dividing the battlefield.
Facing the Luo Kingdom's army, it was basically gone with just one charge, so it could be ignored.
Seeing that the Qin army wanted to fight, Luo Ji briefly recalled the rain of arrows just now and the attacks that gradually weakened afterwards.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, which were covered with sharp arrows, he also calculated the approximate baggage of a normal army and the intelligence obtained by Luo State.
This army from Zhao State did not replenish consumables such as arrows on a large scale.
He immediately guessed that the Qin army might really be out of arrows, which was great news.
The cavalry fights the infantry, but the infantry has no bows or arrows!
They do not rely on mountains and rivers for defense, do not build fortifications, do not wait in the camp, but go out to confront the enemy.
Luo Ji didn't understand at all what the general of the Qin army was thinking. Even if he was looking for death, that was not what he was looking for.
This is why the Luo family stands too high and uses its own common sense to think instead of other families.
From the time when King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting in Hufu, cavalry began to appear in the military ranks.
Every big country claims to have thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of horses.
But in fact, when tools to assist riding such as stirrups had not yet been invented, cavalry was not the mainstream of warfare.
Naturally, most people don't study the cavalry's tactics in depth enough.
Not all families are as idle as the Luo family.
It is not easy for Bai Cheng to know that the key to fighting against cavalry is to defend in formation, which is already very difficult. He is far ahead of ordinary people and is a general with a family background.
Although I couldn't understand it, I didn't refuse the gift that was brought to my door.
Luo Ji immediately ordered, "The brave warriors are divided into five teams, each leading a sharp warrior, and are ready to test each other in sequence.
I want to know the strength of each camp of the Qin people's 60,000-strong army.
The Qin people don’t have many arrows anymore, so they should spread out their formations and don’t let their horses be damaged in vain.”
When they heard that the Qin people didn't have many arrows, the Luo people were immediately happy. They basically had armor on their bodies, so they were naturally not afraid of ordinary arrows.
But the horses have no armor. If the Qin people shoot the horses, they will have to fight on foot.
This raid was all about speed. If it was a positional battle, it would be better to stay in Zhaocheng.
When the Luo army started running again, Bai Cheng looked at the scene of thousands of horses galloping with shock on his face.
He finally understood why the Qin army was killed by bows and crossbows before, but still wanted to attack the camp.
The visual effects of 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry are completely different!
Of course, the 60,000-strong army cannot be completely gathered together, and Bai Cheng does not have the dispatching ability to directly command the 60,000-strong army.
He could only give orders to the generals of each battalion to cooperate with his central army's attack and defense. The Qin army slowly surrounded the Luo army.
But this will inevitably lead to flaws.
The Luo cavalry roared past each camp, with arrows flying like flesh, directly thinning the Qin army's formation.
This was also the first time that the Qin army saw so many cavalry charging. Faced with such a huge beast that was larger than the human body and charging at an extremely high speed, no one could restrain the fear in their hearts.
Especially when there is no countermeasure like a crossbow in hand, the uneasiness in the heart will increase exponentially.
Luo Ji quietly waited for the generals to give him feedback, and soon the army withdrew from the Qin army.
Looking at the Luo cavalry coming and going like the wind, Bai Cheng suddenly felt that the encirclement plan he wanted to make seemed very stupid.
If the Luo army did not want to fight, how could the two-legged Qin people catch up with the four-legged Luo army?
But he had no choice, he had to win a victory to avoid possible harsh punishment.
The only thing he could do now was to pray to the Luo army not to give up such a great opportunity.
He was lucky and unfortunate, Luo Ji really wasn't prepared to leave like this.
If Bai Cheng stayed in the camp and had enough bows and crossbows, Luo Ji would still be confused.
But in this situation, facing the Qin generals who frequently made tactical mistakes, Luo Ji just wanted to swallow all these 100,000 people.
If God does not take it, you will suffer the consequences!
After ascertaining the strength and weakness of each battalion of the Qin army, Luo Ji reached out and pulled down his mask, completely protecting his whole body.
Although the Qin army should not have many arrows left, there were too many surprises on the battlefield.
It’s not uncommon for an army commander or even a country’s monarch to be hit by a stray arrow on the battlefield, and as a result, a force powerful enough to dominate the world disappears in an instant.
"attack!"
Luo Ji waved his sword again, and then led the brave warriors forward. Naturally, it was impossible for the cavalry to attack the infantry formation directly.
The Luo army circled the Qin army's camp, and then launched a crazy projectile at the weak points detected.
The intensive attacks were like a violent storm, which far exceeded the intensity of the attack just now.
This is natural. Just now it was mainly for testing, so all camps were exposed to rain and dew. Now it is to defeat the enemy, and of course it is a key attack.
Facing the fierce attack of the Luo army, the Qin army could not hold on any longer. The surrounding Qin army quickly came to support and spread the line wide, hoping to surround the Luo army.
Facing Qin Jun's stupid behavior again, Luo Ji almost laughed out loud.
It is true that the cavalry did not dare to charge the infantry phalanx equipped with large shields and spears that was waiting for them. Although the infantry could not withstand the huge impact of the horses, the cavalry could not withstand it either.
