The Battle of Changping Chapter 070
Zhao Jun's "powerful" defense did not cause any substantial harm to the Qin Army, but instead boosted the morale of the Qin Army.
Wang Qi, the assistant general of the Qin army, looked at the panic-stricken Zhao army and suddenly laughed ferociously in his heart.
"Kill!" A roar completely ignited the battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, the Qin army's cavalry approached the gate of Zhao's camp. There were no antlers to resist the enemy as expected, and there were no spearmen who were old enemies on the battlefield. There were only thin gates and walls, and Zhao shivering behind the gate.
Saber and shield soldier.
Is there anything more stupid than this? He actually tried to use his sword and shield soldiers to receive the cavalry attack. Then the tip of the sword that protrudes a little bit more than the camp is a barb growing from the gate of the camp?
"kill!"
Seeing this, the Qin army's cavalry continued to roar.
Amidst the bursts of roars, the originally strong camp gates and stronghold walls, as well as the Zhao army behind the stronghold walls, fell down as if they were made of paper. However, the Qin army only paid a few dozen cavalry.
Both men and horses, with hundreds of kilograms of force, ruthlessly stepped on the cushion made of Zhao soldiers' flesh. The Zhao soldiers underneath were immediately shattered with broken bones and tendons. Under the long shield, yellow, white, and red in an instant
It flowed all over the place.
With just one charge, Zhao Jun's seemingly solid camp was declared broken!
However, the soldiers of the Qin army still did not stop their attack.
Without waiting for the Zhao army to gather, hundreds of short spears had already shot through the air. The few small military formations that had finally been assembled naturally became the focus of the Qin army's attack.
The uniform short spears, relying on the speed of the horse and the strength of the arm, drew a beautiful curve in the air, and then pierced into the Zhao army's formation accompanied by the roar of the wind.
The sharp spear head made of fine iron was paired with a short spear made of hardwood as thick as an arm. The skin and flesh of the spear were torn apart when it was hit. Most of them were directly shot through by the short spear and nailed to the camp.
On the top, blood snaked downwards along the short spear from the breach, slowly gathering into a river of blood.
The short spears cut off the Zhao army who wanted to gather resistance, and the war cavalry in front also showed their power again.
With the help of horse power, the Qin army's cavalry carried spears and charged towards the remaining Zhao army's sword and shield soldiers.
Although the long shield was strong, but the manpower was exhausted, as soon as the long shield touched the Qin army's spear, a huge force swept from the shield. Even Zhao's soldiers had already stood in a bow stance preparedly.
But it was ultimately no match for the impact of the war horse.
With a few bang bang bangs, the Zhao army's shield soldiers took several steps back together with the swordsmen behind them, but finally staggered and fell under the huge force of the cavalry. Immediately afterwards, the war horses galloped past, trampling on them but they were still alive.
's body.
After that, Zhao Jun, who lost the protection of his long shield, was like a clay wax statue. He was immediately pierced by the spears of the Qin Army's cavalry, and even several subsequent infantrymen were directly pierced into candied haws.
The only thing Zhao Jun was thankful for was that because he had penetrated too many people, the spear was stuck in the main body one by one, making it impossible to pull it out or move it in. With the weight of several people, the spear had obviously become
In order to maintain their horse speed, the Qin Army's cavalry did not hesitate at all. When they let go of their spears, the Qin Army's long sword at their waist was already in their hands.
Between the left and right chops, Zhao Jun, who was out of position, was chopped to the ground like melons and vegetables. The skulls rolling on the ground connected the yellow and white blood stains in the front camp with the blood river in the central army.
And the entire Zhao Army camp was completely plunged into hell.
The blindfolded Qin Army cavalry horses seemed to have smelled the smell of blood in the air, and became even more manic. Without any urging from the knights, the horses ran forward like crazy, almost bumping into people.
When they encountered a camp and broke into the camp, everyone they passed by was on their backs. In just a short time, the cavalry that had just broken through the camp had completely scattered the Zhao army's front army, and then broke into the Zhao army's center.
Facing the Zhao army's front army which had just been dispersed by the Qin army's cavalry, the Qin army obviously would not give them any time or opportunity to regroup.
In just a moment, although the following infantry had not yet arrived, their rain of arrows had already reached them. Unlike the cavalry's bows and arrows, the infantry's bows and arrows were more dense and sharp. The sky-filled rain of arrows almost overwhelmed Zhao Jun's army.
The front camp was completely enveloped, and the soldiers of Zhao, who had not had time to rejoice, lost their lives in the rain of arrows.
Even if he was lucky enough to escape the attack of arrows, the Qin army's warriors wielding swords had already arrived in front of them.
The long sword was waved, and countless heads floated into the sky. As soon as the sword was raised and dropped, Zhao Jun's front army was almost completely wiped out.
It was not until this time that the archers in Zhao Jun's rear camp were finally reorganized, and the second round of arrow rain finally came belatedly. The arrow rain, which covered the sky and the sun, was obviously very different from the first round. However,
, the rain of arrows is urgent, but the enemies we face have also changed.
What are now in the front camp are not the defenseless Qin Army cavalry, but the Qin Army infantry with complete arms and bright armor and shields. And the Qin Army, who are good at using bows and crossbows, naturally have a way to deal with the rain of arrows.
way.
Facing the rain of arrows that broke through the sky, the infantry of the Qin army were well prepared. The shield soldiers had already propped up their long shields with almost no delay. A group of ten people formed a temporary shelter, and the surrounding
The Qin army also got into it almost at the same moment when the long shield was propped up.
As the last Qin soldier retreated into the shield formation, Zhao Jun's arrows fell like a downpour on the front camp.
However, the clanging sound of arrows and shields striking each other vividly illustrates the effectiveness of this rain of arrows - very little.
The Qin army's cavalry also continued to advance forward amid sporadic arrow rain.
Because there was almost no resistance in the front camp, the middle army of Zhao army was not prepared for defense at all. Although there were more soldiers in the middle army than in the previous camp, they had less protection from the camp. There was no formation to defend, and there were no more people.
No matter how many there are, they are just the souls of the dead under the hooves of the cavalry.
In the central military tent, the captain in charge was still commanding the formation when he was killed by Wang Qi, who was leading the charge with a sword.
The long sword was rolled up and then horizontally. Outside the Chinese army tent, the red flag hanging high on the flagpole fell to the ground together with the long pole. As the Zhao army's Chinese military flag and the captain in charge were both captured by Qin
The army king's cavalry was beheaded, and the tens of thousands of people in the South Road military camp suddenly fell into chaos. The Zhao army fell into a leaderless situation and could no longer form effective resistance!
It's only a matter of time before the camp is broken.
But even in such a desperate situation, the archer battalion in the rear camp once again broke out with a different combat power.
The moment before the big banner fell, the rear camp archers fired another round of arrow rain, and the target was the junction of the Qin army's cavalry and infantry...
