Chapter 560: The True Purpose of the Yin-Yang Palace(1/2)
Theoretically, cavalry's efficiency in using swords is not as good as using four weapons: spear, spear, gun, and halberd.
However, in the case of marching urgently, using swords can increase the speed of the march better.
If you abandon the standard crossbows and quivers, you will be really lightly.
As soon as Zhang Han took over the Xiangjun garrison, he ordered the Xiangjun cavalry to go into battle with all their bare hands.
It would have taken an hour to reach the battlefield, but he was forced to advance half an hour.
"Is it so big to play?!"
Han Xin also noticed the black iron cavalry of the Qin Dynasty and the tempting ketone bodies.
The main reason is that it is difficult for him not to pay attention. The nearly 100,000 cavalrymen were all shirtless, which was really eye-catching.
Thinking about the speed at which Zhang Han's march came here, Han Xin naturally guessed Zhang Han's idea.
His purpose of doing this.
One is for your own safety considerations.
The two are to keep the main force of Zhao's army here as soon as possible.
But Zhao's army had 200,000 soldiers no matter what, although there were not many elite soldiers here, there were still 200,000.
The biggest advantage of the Qin army over the Zhao army was equipment. Zhang Han's current approach was equivalent to giving up everything and not even wearing armor.
In this case, fighting with the Zhao army may not necessarily gain an advantage.
"Transfer to my general order! Break through the enemy formation! Receive the general!"
Zhang Han ordered that the commander Sima beside him immediately waved the flag.
The cavalry changed formations in an orderly manner, and then rushed towards the Zhao army's encirclement to meet Han Xin's army.
Zhang Han is not a brave warring faction, nor does he have the habit of charging into battle. Moreover, someone must be in command of the battle of 100,000 cavalrymen.
One hundred thousand cavalry is not ten thousand cavalry, so it’s all over with Zhongli and Mei Chong.
With Zhang Han's continuous orders, the cavalry turned into three groups, two groups tore the siege of Zhao's army, and one group tried to respond to Han Xin.
Zhao Tuo naturally noticed this scene.
To be honest, when Zhao Tuo heard Zhang Han's army arrive, his first thought was.
God is going to kill me!
The central army had moved, and it was too late to withdraw. He didn't expect the reinforcements to come so quickly.
But after paying attention to the gathering of reinforcements, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but feel an unknown anger.
Everyone is bare-handed and holds a sword.
No wonder it came so quickly. I gave up all the burden and didn’t even wear light armor. Do you want to fight to the death with yourself?
but!
This is too contemptuous!
Zhao Tuo always knew the number of cavalry in Zhang Han's hands.
Although there is no way to visually measure the number of this cavalry, it is estimated that it will not exceed 100,000.
When Zhang Han retreated from the county town, there were less than 30,000 cavalry, but now there are 100,000 cavalry. It is thought that the cavalry of Xiang County had joined him first.
Then, the remaining more than 200,000 infantry should be still behind.
Originally, Zhao Tuo had the intention to avoid war.
Because the opponent's hard power is obviously stronger than him.
Whether it is fighting will or weapons and equipment, they are better than his army.
But these 100,000 cavalry now abandons all weapon advantages and does not even wear armor.
In this way, Zhao Jun had the advantage of equipment.
Two hundred thousand vs one hundred thousand!
Zhao Tuo thinks he can fight!
Of course, it is mainly because the central army has been mobilized and the Qin army's cavalry has arrived. Now he wants to withdraw his troops, so his 200,000 troops will be at least 100,000 here.
There is no exaggeration.
If Zhao Tuo really withdraws his troops, he will not be able to keep the formation unconfused, and the Qin army just needs to follow behind and eat them in one bite.
The loss of withdrawal of troops was too great, and the number of troops was reduced by 100,000. In fact, there was no difference between Zhao's army and death.
Now the most elite cavalry of the Qin army has given up all its advantages.
Instead, it’s better to give it a try.
Win!
You can regain the land of Baiyue!
Lost...
At worst, you can complete the tasks assigned by the Yin-Yang Palace and be with the gods.
"Donghuang Taiyi, although your plan is God's arrangement, I still want to make a fortune!"
Zhao Tuo hammered his palm hard.
When he saw the statue of the god under the altar of Yin and Yang Palace, he knew that his task was to sacrifice.
Only sacrifice can bring about God's awakening.
But he was still unwilling to accept it.
These armies are his foundation. If they have no foundation, will he still be the same one?
Why is it yourself, not others, who sacrificed?
"Mo Hu!" Zhao Tuo flashed a trace of anger.
Facing God, he can do nothing.
But at this time, you can only bet on your life.
"The last one is here!" Mo Hu stood up and knelt on one knee.
"Our elites are all in the city. Now let go, maybe it's an opportunity!" Zhao Tuo looked at Mo Hu in front of him and said solemnly: "The Yin-Yang Palace lets us drag the Qin army's blood sacrifice to awaken the gods!"
"Ah?" Mo Hu was shocked. He didn't expect this to happen.
"Do you think I was really fooled by Han Xin?"
Zhao Tuo said with a faint look: "Actually, I have a reason to withdraw my troops!"
"General, Yin and Yang Palace bully people too much. We do not have to work for them. What do they mean by doing this?" Mo Hu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Tuo looked at Mo Hu in front of him and shook his head: "Even if I say it, you can't understand such an existence."
"But....."
"I need you to return to the county town, complete your final mission, and protect the arrival of God!" Zhao Tuo smiled and patted Mo Hu on the shoulder: "If I can survive this battle, then I will serve God together!"
"General!" Mo Hu instinctively wanted to refuse.
"This is an order!" Zhao Tuo said seriously.
"The blood sacrifice requires at least 500,000 people. Not counting this war, the number of people killed in Baiyue should be around 200,000, so we have to solve the remaining people."
Zhao Tuo looked at Mo Hu with a burning look: "Everyone of them is not wearing any armor. Even if they fight to the death, they will die the most!"
"As long as you complete the blood sacrifice, the world will be ours!"
“Because God will give us everything we want!”
“……”
Mo Hu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Zhao Tuo's unstoppable eyes, he still couldn't speak.
Ideas
"The general is our pillar. Please return to the city. The last general is willing to fight on behalf of the general!" Mo Hu gritted his teeth and knelt on his knees.
A trace of praise flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes, but he shook his head in the end.
"The God chose me, not you. Even if I want to return to the city, the people from Yin and Yang Palace will not agree. What's more, I want to see the young generals of Daqin;
No matter whether it is a loss or a win or a win, we must prove that I, Zhao Tuo, are not frivolous!”
"Everyone said that I was promoted by Ren Xiao, but I didn't know that if I hadn't been me, Ren Xiao could suppress all the tribes of Baiyue?"
Zhao Tuo smiled disdainfully, then looked at Mo Hu: "You are my trusted confidant, and it is also my hope. Live well and wait for God's arrival!"
"Besides, with God's blessing, this general may not die in battle!"
At this point, Zhao Tuo stopped talking and just waved his hand and said, "Go, go back to the county town and complete your mission!"
"promise."
Mo Hu glanced at Zhao Tuo deeply, then bit his teeth and left the military tent.
After watching him leave, Zhao Tuo silently put on his armor and rode a war horse, shouting: "Tell me the order, the side troops will disperse and let the Qin army come in!"
"Let them in! Fight to the death!"
Zhao Tuo chose the simplest way to confront this war that determines fate.
Cavalry hedging!
Because the place chosen by both sides is a rare open land that Baiyue has no so-called geographical advantage.
He had no time to retreat and could only fight to the death.
He didn't plan to play tactics with the Qin army.
