In the center of the formation, Han Xin looked at the broken army camp charging against the rain of arrows like a tiger descending the mountain. He couldn't help but murmured to himself: "What an invincible broken army camp."
With the popularization of stirrups and saddles, and the victorious victory of Po Jun's heavy cavalry, princes from all over the country followed Po Junying's example and formed heavy cavalry troops, such as Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Gongsun Xuanyuan's Yanhuang Heavy Cavalry, and Liu Che's Youyan Heavy Cavalry.
, Li Shimin’s Black Armor Heavy Cavalry, etc.
Naturally, Han Xin also thought about forming heavy cavalry, but Jizhou did not produce war horses. Horses could only be purchased from Congyou and the two states, or from Yuan, Meng and Manchu.
The Qin army did not lack horses, but although Bingzhou sold war horses to external parties, it never sold them to the princes of Hebei, obviously not wanting to increase the strength of the princes of Hebei.
Although Youzhou has no shortage of war horses, because it is close to the Manchu Empire and there are constant wars between the two sides, there are not enough horses at home, so it is naturally impossible to sell them to outsiders.
The roads to Bingyou were blocked, and the princes of Hebei could only buy horses from the Yuan, Meng and Manchus. However, both Yan and Liao were afraid that the Manchus would finally obtain supplies from the Qing Dynasty and invade them in turn, so they prohibited the purchase of horses from the Manchus.
All horse transactions that are cleared will be confiscated immediately once discovered.
In this way, with the intervention of Yan and Liao, the princes of Hebei were unable to purchase horses from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and had no choice but to surrender to the Yuan and Mongolia.
The Manchu and Qing invasion two years ago was undoubtedly the most difficult time for Yuan and Meng. The reason why they were able to survive was mainly by exchanging horses with the princes of Hebei for resources. Otherwise, Yuan and Meng would have been destroyed by the Manchus.
With the supply of horses from Yuanmeng, Han Xin established a force of 15,000 light cavalry. Later, he wanted to build a heavy cavalry, but found that the consumption of heavy cavalry was much greater than that of light cavalry. The fifteen thousand light cavalry was already used up.
After losing Korea's foundation, there was really no extra funds for Han Xin to build heavy cavalry, so Han Xin finally gave up the plan of building heavy cavalry.
After once again witnessing the demeanor of the broken army's heavy cavalry, Han Xinzhong regretted his original decision extremely. If he had known that he would be like this, he would have formed a heavy cavalry even though he was selling iron. Otherwise, he would not be so passive today.
The heavy armor of the broken military camp was too defensive, and the Korean army could not penetrate it even with powerful crossbows. Although there were a few hits in the eyes and horse legs, it was of no importance to the overall battle situation.
"Send the order, prepare to throw the javelin, move forward with the spear formation, and prepare the shield formation for defense." Han Xin coldly ordered.
call……
Although the speed of the broken military camp was not very fast, the momentum was too fierce, as if a storm was coming and was going to crush everything in front of it.
The rain of arrows had no effect. Thousands more harpooneers gathered in front of the formation, and another formation of spears was erected behind them.
Thousands of spears were pointed forward, forming a cold forest of spears. If the military camp did not slow down, even if it forced its way through the javelins, it would definitely hit them and cause bleeding.
Zhang Liao, who was at the front of the camp, saw this and immediately shouted: "Everyone, disperse."
Destroy the military camp and enforce orders and prohibitions.
Zhang Liao gave the order, and the five thousand barracks immediately dispersed, and then thousands of javelins flew over.
The accuracy of the javelin is much worse than that of the bow and arrow, and the density is even more incomparable. Therefore, if the formation is sufficiently dispersed, the javelin will not be able to cause much damage to the cavalry.
Soon, the Korean javelin soldiers had carried out three rounds of throwing, causing more than 300 casualties to the Pojun camp, while the Pojun camp rushed all the way to the Korean army's formation.
boom……
The hundreds of throwing soldiers who had no time to retreat were directly knocked away by the Po Barracks, but the Po Barracks still did not slow down and rushed directly towards the gun array.
"kill."
Zhang Liao galloped forward and headed straight for the general commanding the javelin troops. He had lost so many heavy cavalry in the broken barracks, so Zhang Liao couldn't let him go if he encountered him.
"Well come."
Wang Qing was overjoyed. Zhang Liao was the commander-in-chief of the Qin army. Killing him would be a great achievement.
"General, I'll give you a helping hand."
Li Xiong and Bi Xian also came together, preparing to turn around and attack Zhang Liao with Wang Qing.
Seeing this, Jiang Song from behind was about to come to help in the battle, but before he could open his mouth, Zhang Liao had already stepped forward to greet him.
"Death!" Zhang Liao shouted violently and slashed out with his sword.
[Ding dong, Zhang Liao’s skill ‘King of Swords’ is activated, his force is 3, and his current force has increased to 109.]
Wang Qing saw that Zhang Liao's sword was fierce and invincible, so he prepared to defend himself. Unexpectedly, after the sword and gun collided, the steel gun in his hand was cut off, and then a number of heads flew out, and he died with his eyes open.
"General Wang."
Li Xiong and Bi Xian were furious when they saw this, but Zhang Liao ignored them. He first knocked away Li Xiong's weapon with his sword, then swept Bi Xian off his horse with his sword, and then cut off Li Xiong's head with a backhand sword, while Bi Xian was also killed on the ground.
Jiang Song, who caught up, was trampled to death by his war horse.
On the high platform in the center of the formation, Han Xin saw that Zhang Liao had defeated three generals in a row and killed two generals in less than two rounds. He couldn't help but angrily said in a low voice: "These three trash."
He had warned in advance that he would never fight with the generals of the Qin army unless it was absolutely necessary, but Wang Qing and the other three ignored his orders. Their death would have a small impact on the morale of the entire army, but it would have a big impact.
"Instruct the cavalry in the rear to prepare. After breaking through the gun formation, the barracks will be blocked by our shield formation. Then it will be the time for our cavalry to dispatch." Han Xin said coldly.
"promise."
The other half, after breaking through the formation from the barracks, rushed straight into the formation and headed straight for the forest of guns. Tens of thousands of cavalry followed closely behind, rushing into the formation to wreak havoc.
boom……
As expected by Han Xin, the numerous spear formations were still unable to hinder the trap formation. Under the impact of the trap's heavy cavalry, most of the spears were broken, and the spear formation was directly knocked out of the trap camp, creating a big hole.
In front of the shield formation, Zhang He looked at the overwhelming force of the trapped formation, and couldn't help but swallowed subconsciously, and then shouted: "Euphorbismen, raise your shield."
Although Han Xin could not raise heavy cavalry, he could still raise heavy infantry, and the Euphorbias were the heavy infantry carefully built by Han Xin in imitation of the enemy camp, and were led by Han Xin's confidant general Zhang He.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Five thousand Euphorbia soldiers in heavy armor each erected a strong shield as high as one person, and then quickly formed a whole body and inserted it heavily into the groove in the ground.
Zhang Liao couldn't see the scene behind the shield. He only saw that the Korean army was just erecting their shields. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "You want to stop me from breaking through the military camp with just a few thousand shields? It's just a dream."
Break the military camp, continue the charge, and directly overwhelm the Korean army's formation."
"The momentum of the army is broken, there is no retreat..."
