"On the road ahead, King Yan's motorcade has been discovered!"
The excited shouts of the black-armored rangers echoed in the foothills of Yiwulu Mountain.
In an instant, all kinds of startled and excited sounds sounded.
Everyone's first reaction when they heard the news was to turn their heads in disbelief and look at the young man who was sitting on a chariot drinking water.
"The King of Yan actually gave up his defense and fled to Liaodong."
"It's so surprising. How could he calculate so accurately and know all this in advance?"
"It's really unbelievable. I can't figure it out in my head."
"Hahaha, what a great achievement from God. If we can capture King Yan, we will definitely be promoted to a noble rank for our military achievements!"
…
The sergeants and soldiers in the army were boiling with excitement, horses neighing and people barking, and the noise kept coming.
Even Li Xin, who was standing in the command car and leaning against Shi, showed an expression of astonishment when he heard the news.
"Did he really guess it?"
Li Xin suddenly looked back and saw that the young man still had a calm face and was reaching out to wipe the water droplets from the corners of his mouth.
Unfazed by favor or disgrace, calm and composed.
This raised Li Xinzhong's evaluation of Zhao Tuo to another level.
You know, he followed Zhao Tuo's suggestion and led light chariots and iron cavalry to gallop and intercept, just because he wanted to be prepared, just in case.
Deep in Li Xin's heart, he did not particularly believe in the idea of King Yan fleeing to Liaodong.
Unexpectedly, the young man's prediction of the development of the matter was accurate.
At such a young age, this man was able to predict that King Yan would flee to Liaodong based on some clues revealed in the war. His foresight and brilliance were even higher than that of Li Xin.
"Given time, this son's future will be limitless."
Li Xin couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy at this moment. But then, he drove the emotion out of his heart.
"If such a young man is well cultivated, he will become the mainstay of our Qin army in the future. I will recommend him to the general and the king so that he can have a good future."
Li Xinxin was determined. With his character, he was not a jealous person.
At most, he is just a little bit competitive.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo was drowned by Black Butt's screams.
"My hundred generals, A Tuo, brother Tuo!"
"You...you are so awesome! You actually got the story right about King Yan's escape. My mother, with your skills, you can become a fortune teller. You shouldn't have learned it before.
The art of surviving the day, right?"
Black Butt opened his mouth wide, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in surprise.
Shejian stood aside. Although his expression was not as exaggerated as that of Hei Butt, he was also full of surprise. He looked at Zhao Tuo in front of him and could not say anything else except admiration.
"Just some trivial thoughts."
Zhao Tuo smiled faintly.
But he was relieved in his heart. He had been worried that with Jicheng being conquered in advance, King Yan would flee to Liaodong as recorded in history. If the other party didn't escape, wouldn't it be embarrassing this time?
Fortunately, the wheel of history is moving forward.
Small changes may cause the wheel's direction to deviate slightly, but in a short period of time, the overall direction will not be affected.
With Yan Wangxi's character, he wouldn't be him if he didn't run away.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The war drum carried on the carriage was beaten, and all the soldiers immediately stopped discussing.
The knight mounted the horse, and the charioteer sat in the driver's seat in front of the chariot. The left chariot man stood proudly holding a bow and arrow, while the right chariot man tightly held a three-meter long halberd.
"Gentlemen!"
Li Xin stood on the car and shouted loudly: "We were ordered by the general to pursue King Yan and his son, and traveled hundreds of miles to get here. Now that the scouts ahead have discovered King Yan's traces, we have accomplished the great feat of destroying the country by capturing King Yan."
In front of you!"
"I hope you all will work hard to move forward, capture the king and destroy the country, and perform meritorious service and honor him!"
Needless to say, just laying out the naked interests can arouse everyone's emotions.
"Seize the king of Yan, and destroy the country by robbing the king!"
"Make meritorious service!"
Qin's soldiers howled like wild beasts, and their eyes turned red with excitement.
"Army attack!"
As the general gave the order, the horses neighed and the wheels rolled.
The cavalry lined up to attack first, and the chariots also lined up, one by one, rolling forward along the road.
The Qin army was like a cone shot out, rushing straight towards the northern road.
Zhao Tuo grabbed the bridle rope with both hands, and a strong wind blew in his face, making him feel excited.
After being a horseless infantryman for so long, I finally have the opportunity to ride a horse at high speed. This feeling is really great.
Four horses are galloping, spoke wheels are spinning, and the chariot is moving rapidly.
Get on the carriage behind.
Shejian, who was standing on the left, had an expressionless face. He was holding a Qin crossbow in his hand. He was just waiting to see the enemy and when the opportunity was right, he would fire the crossbow.
The one on the right is Black Butt, holding a bronze halberd more than three meters long in his hand. There is also a shield and a long sword in the chariot below. He plays the role of a warrior in the chariot battle.
When pursuing a chariot battle, the chariot on the left holding a crossbow waits for an opportunity to fire an arrow.
When the chariot catches up with the enemy or passes by the enemy, Rong You, who is responsible for holding the halberd, will swing the long weapon in his hand, whether it is a thorn or a hook, to cause damage to the enemy.
Because the chariot is always traveling at high speed, both shooting and assassination require superb skills.
Of course, the most central role in chariot battles is the charioteer sitting in front of Shi.
He needs to keep the four horses at a unified pace, whether they can go fast or slow, move or stop, the speed must be completely controlled, and the left and right turns must also maintain a certain angle. Without certain training, they will not be competent at all.
Zhao Tuo was just an excellent charioteer.
He wears metal armor. The armor's sleeves are as long as his wrists, covering all his arms. There are also gauntlets on his hands, a collar on his neck, and greaves on his legs. The protection is very tight and provides maximum protection.
to ensure the safety of the charioteer.
At this time, as the Qin army was running at high speed, they had already rushed out of the northern foothills of Yiwulu Mountain and entered the North Avenue on the inside of the Great Wall.
There were bursts of shouts of killing.
A group of Qin cavalry who had previously explored the road were fighting with the Yan cavalry.
Hear the hooves of horses and the thundering sound of chariots galloping on the ground.
The expressions of all the Yan cavalrymen changed greatly. Although some gritted their teeth and tried desperately to stop them, several others turned their horses around in fear and ran away.
The torrent of black armor surged in like a wave, instantly drowning those knights of the Yan Kingdom who were desperately trying to block it.
The forward cavalry of the Qin army galloped forward, and a row of arrows shot forward like thunder. The fleeing Yan cavalry fell off their horses in an instant, and their horses, either frightened or injured, neighed and fled to the south side of the road.
When the fallen Yanjun knight was crushed into pieces by horses' hooves and wheels.
There is no obstacle in front of this Qin army. As long as they pursue it all the way, they will see the fleeing King Yan and his son.
"The king of captives will destroy his country today!"
Li Xin's face turned red, he raised his arms and shouted in the strong wind.
"rush!"
The form of chariot battles refers to Yuan Tingdong's "Ancient War: Chariot Battles"
The configuration of the Qin army's chariots and soldiers, and their equipment refer to "Military History of the Qin Dynasty" and "Underground Qin Dynasty", and are verified by the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Mausoleum.
