Chapter 406 Double stirrups made great contributions
Strictly speaking, the Qin soldiers on the city were not afraid, they were just curious.
How will the Jin army use this strange-looking chariot?
What use can it have?
They were so curious that even the defensive offensive became smaller. Especially some veterans, holding on to the parapet, could not take their eyes away.
Because the chariots from the rear had not yet arrived, the Jin army also adopted shrinkage tactics in a timely manner. Without the help of chariots, it would only cause greater losses to themselves if they only knew how to climb the city. It was really not cost-effective.
Under the cover of the mighty chariot convoy, a red-maned horse also rushed ahead. The armored general on the horse had strong blood, and even the purple-black complexion seemed to have become a little rosy, which was similar to the one on his crotch.
The horses' coat colors gradually became uniform.
The clumsy-eyed Qin soldiers were only observing the big chariot and did not notice that there was an important person following behind the chariot.
And this man is one of the most terrifying people on the Xiangyang battlefield, and will cause heavy casualties to the Qin soldiers.
This person is the person whom General Xie Xuan, the current champion of the Beifu Army, trusts and relies on the most, General Yingyang Liu Laozhi.
Liu Laozhi was riding on a horse, and his ambition was rewarded. Now, his name, General Liu, is almost known to everyone in the Jin Dynasty.
However, Di Qin, who was on the opposite side, had not yet gained a great reputation. At least, his level of fame was far from Liu Laozhi's own expectations.
The Qin army regarded the Beifu soldiers as a major threat. They knew that there was already an army within the Jin Dynasty, which had extremely strong combat effectiveness and cohesion, and was fundamentally different from the previous soldiers and generals.
In addition to the excellent tactical literacy of the soldiers, Beifu soldiers also have another advantage, that is, they have an outstanding general.
It was Xie Xuan who came from a top-notch family. For many years, among the rich and powerful families in Jiangzuo, there was no general who could really fight.
Xie Xuan's appearance obviously attracted Di Qin's attention.
But they didn't know that under Xie Xuan's command, there was Liu Laozhi, a talented person who was good at fighting.
Xiangyang City is the opportunity!
After Xiangyang is captured, Liu Laozhi's reputation will surely spread to both sides of the river. When the time comes, who will dare to despise him?
After the chariot convoy broke away from the Jin army's battle formation, the soldiers quickly changed their formations, and the cavalry rushed forward and charged continuously, creating space for the chariot to move forward and clearing obstacles.
The infantry who followed the chariot all the way were not idle either. Although the spears were placed in the chariot, they could not be used for the moment.
But the soldiers still held the swords in their hands, so there was no need to worry about their combat effectiveness. The Qin soldiers discovered the soldiers following the chariot and quickly swarmed up.
This was the case in ancient chariot battles. Generally, a large chariot would always have dozens of infantry following it on both sides.
Their relationship with the chariot is not that the chariot protects the soldiers, but on the contrary, the soldiers protect the chariot.
Generally speaking, the soldiers on the chariot are equipped with bows, arrows, and spears, and their combat effectiveness is more powerful. They also need to be protected while the chariot is moving, so as to ensure that the chariot reaches the predetermined attack location and achieves the purpose of the attack.
.
Therefore, the infantry selected to follow the chariot also have specialized tactical qualities.
They often have outstanding running ability and can follow the chariot on both sides and run for long distances without falling behind. In addition to having super endurance, these soldiers who specialize in following chariots also need to have strong fighting skills.
The battlefield is full of enemy troops. When tanks attack them, they will naturally fight back. At this time, the soldiers following the tanks are responsible for killing the enemy soldiers who are rushing up one by one.
It is not an easy task to have to keep moving and kill enemy troops in motion.
Under the leadership of the cavalry team, the chariot team was approaching Xiangyang City through all obstacles, and no one could stop it!
Anyone who tries to block it will be mercilessly crushed by it!
"Brothers, pay attention to your defense!"
"Another group of Qin soldiers came out of the city!"
Compared to Fu Rui, Liang Cheng was a somewhat rational person. Facing the powerful Jin army, he did not send all the Qin soldiers in the city out to fight the Jin army with a wave of his hand.
Instead, he released his troops one by one in a controlled manner. On the one hand, it consumed the effective strength of the Jin army, and on the other hand, it also preserved the strength of Di Qin.
Once the city is empty, Xiangyang City will be in danger!
Liu Laozhi left such a warning to the soldiers following the car, and then rode forward. His battle place was under the city gate.
If something happens midway, it is up to the team leaders following the car to decide for themselves.
The Beifu soldiers immediately formed a battle formation and ran faster, sticking their bodies tightly to the sides of the chariot with their blades pointing outwards.
The Qin soldiers were not vegetarians. When their infantry left the city, they were accompanied by the cavalry. Seeing the cavalry, the eyes of the Beifu brothers brightened even more!
"Bros!"
"Here comes the fat!"
"Come on!"
The whip was waved, the horse's hooves were kicked, and the cavalry from Beifu also rushed forward.
The cavalry of the two armies took the lead in the battle. On the side of the Qin soldiers, halberds were still the mainstream, and occasionally some soldiers would use strange weapons such as meteor hammers.
Because of the characteristics of these weapons, the main tactic they used was sweeping. As soon as the Jin cavalry rushed up, they were immediately swept away by a gust of wind.
The Di and Qin cavalry had suppressed their anger and started attacking without waiting for the Jin army to take action.
The halberds, maces, and even iron whips in their hands all attacked the Jin army. Many Jin cavalrymen did not expect that the Qin soldiers would attack so quickly, and they inevitably suffered a hidden loss.
He was struck by their weapons and fell off his horse.
In this first battle, Qin soldiers had the upper hand.
The Qin soldiers looked at the Jin troops falling from their horses one after another. Their hearts were so happy that they could not help but look up to the sky and roar.
Cunning thief!
Die!
But, why didn't they die?
After feeling proud, the Qin soldiers soon discovered that the Jin army's casualties were not as heavy as they imagined.
It is true that some cavalry fell, but the number was not large. It can be said that there were only a few people. More cavalry were actually still clinging to their horses.
Some were hit by the meteor hammer on the side of the horse, but they did not fall off the horse. Instead, they firmly held the reins tightly, and not long after, they climbed back on the horse's back with great effort.
In addition, there were more cavalry, not to mention falling off their horses, they didn't even move a few times, they still sat upright on their horses and raised their weapons!
Their weapons were not very familiar, but they seemed familiar. The Qin soldiers had no time to think about what these strange weapons were, and they had no way to guess why the Jin army did not fall off their horses in large numbers.
Because the Jin army's charge has begun!
Just a few moments ago, the Jin cavalry arrived at the foot of Xiangyang City. Before they could react, the Qin soldiers' attack arrived first.
The Beifu soldiers immediately realized that something was wrong, but there was no time to resist. Facing the menacing Qin soldiers, they had no choice but to avoid them first.
Some of the brothers who reacted slowly were hit by the hammer and were so seriously injured that they were unable to maintain their balance and fell off their horses.
Fortunately, there were only a small number of such people. More Beifu soldiers withstood the attack of the Qin soldiers. Their weapons were not lost, and their horses were well controlled under their bodies.
The soldiers looked at each other proudly, and there was even some joy in their eyes.
It’s all thanks to the double stirrups!
