Seeing the soldiers of Jiuyuan whom he had trained and who had followed him in hundreds of battles all over the world fell one by one, Meng Tian's heart was as sharp as a knife. But he knew that this was not the time for his son and daughter to grow in love.
Li Zuoche was able to equip more than a thousand chariots and more than ten thousand flying cavalry in just over a month. The most important thing was that he could command these flying cavalry and chariots like an arm, and he was not afraid of death. He was extraordinary.
It can be done.
The powerful crossbow fire just now, if it were ordinary soldiers, would have collapsed long ago, but Li Zuoche's flying cavalry was still able to withstand the fierce attack of more than 30,000 Jiuyuan soldiers at the critical moment by using hand-to-hand combat with less and more, showing great bravery
No less than the Jiuyuan Army.
But Meng Tian didn't go too far. He didn't believe that Li Zuoche could train the left and right armies behind him in more than a month to be as brave as these more than ten thousand flying cavalry. In Meng Tian's opinion, this battle has not yet come to an end.
.
Of course, Meng Tian also knew that if he ordered a breakout now, with the bravery of the Jiuyuan Army, even if they fought to the last man, they would not be defeated. Li Zuoche's more than ten thousand cavalry and thousands of chariots would still not be able to stop them.
What's more, there are more than 10,000 elite Jiuyuan cavalry surrounding one side like poisonous snakes, and they must rescue him if they attack him. More than 500 chariot soldiers have been forced to rush back to rescue Li Zuoche. The right wing is wide open.
More than 500 people in chariots hurriedly and slowly arrived before more than 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry to escort Li Zuoche, but they did not dare to move rashly. Li Zuoche was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat just now, because he was so afraid of Meng Tian.
He forgot about the 10,000 cavalrymen who had been waiting on one side for half a day.
I almost got myself in it.
"Anyone who fails to arrive at the time for tea will be killed by the general!" Li Zuoche, who was always known for his elegance, became anxious and angry at this time. He gritted his teeth and said with murderous intent.
Meng Tian didn't care about the more than ten thousand cavalry who were wandering outside. Liu Xin, who led this cavalry, was promoted by him. He knew Liu Xin's ability better than anyone else, so from the beginning he completely let go of the cavalry and let Liu Xin do it.
Give.
Liu Xin did not disappoint Meng Tian and waited until the most powerful opportunity before taking action. He immediately mobilized more than 500 tanks that were about to complete the siege of Meng Tian back and gathered them together.
Liu Xin had already expected that more than 500 chariots would arrive at Li Zuoche's side before him, because the chariot troops were much closer to Li Zuoche than the more than 10,000 Jiuyuan fine cavalry.
Although encountering chariots on the plains is very disadvantageous for infantry, whether it is Meng Tian, Liu Xin or ordinary Jiuyuan infantry, they have already understood how to fight against chariots.
However, due to the previous attack by Li Zuoche's tens of thousands of flying cavalry, the infantry formation was somewhat chaotic. After a moment of stalemate, the Jiuyuan infantry had completely stabilized their formation.
At this moment, the more than 500 chariots on the left wing were becoming more and more unscrupulous.
Dozens of heavy tanks roared and passed close to the periphery of the infantry formation. The densely protruding sharp "flat spears" mounted on the wheels of the chariots were like carpenter's planes, ruthlessly ripping the outermost edge of the infantry formation.
Scrape it off hard.
Wherever these heavy chariots passed, hundreds of Jiuyuan infantrymen were disembowelled by the "flat spears" or cut into several small pieces. The horror was horrific and blood flowed like rivers.
The light vehicles that were skimming the formation next to the heavy vehicles kept wandering around, and from time to time they quickly passed through the formation and stabbed to death a few protruding infantry.
Although this time due to insufficient intelligence and Meng Tian discarding most of the weapons and equipment, the 30,000 infantry did not carry spears and other weapons that are most effective in dealing with the impact of chariots, but this does not mean that the Qin army has no way to deal with it.
These damn tanks.
The Jiuyuan infantry on the outermost perimeter, with Pao Ze using his body as cover, thrust their few long swords diagonally into the soil, with the sharp swords facing the outside, and the swords that were more than ten feet long were thrown out to allow the Qin army to step forward.
At first glance, the formation looks like a peacock with its tail feathers spread out.
The sharp and long Da Ge immediately made the already-killed chariot soldiers a bit wary. They did not dare to harass the Qin army's perimeter as unscrupulously as before. They began to roam around looking for weak points to attack.
The infantry of the Qin army used the Changge formation to temporarily alleviate the harassment of the chariots. Of course, they would not miss this great opportunity. One after another, powerful crossbow arrows roared towards the chariot soldiers wandering outside the formation.
go.
Since the more than 500 chariots on the left wing of the army were not all gathered together, but scattered along the long side line of the left wing of the army, the Qin army's infantry chose to shoot freely with crossbows instead of volley fire.
Screaming repeatedly.
In a moment, dozens of heavy chariots that were very close to the army and had been wandering around looking for opportunities. Both the soldiers on the vehicles and the horses pulling the chariots were warmly greeted by the Qin army's strong crossbows.
Especially the horses pulling the carts, because the target was obviously hit by more crossbow arrows. As the horses pulling the carts fell to the ground and died, dozens of heavy tanks and a dozen light tanks that had been running happily and showing off their power collapsed.
Overturned, splashing dust all over the ground
Li Zuoche's chariots were originally stockpiled from the treasury of Daqin counties and counties, so there were not many heavy chariots in the first place, most of them were light chariots. Light chariots were not suitable for charging and were generally used for heavy chariots.
Sweeping array.
This incident immediately caused the remaining four hundred or so light chariots to hurriedly flee from the Qin army. No matter how fast they fled, they were not as fast as the Qin army's crossbows. Dozens of chariots' horses were shot to death, and sawdust flew across the chariots.
Overturned suddenly.
By the time they escaped from the range of the Qin army's powerful crossbows, there were only more than 300 chariots left.
The remaining three hundred or so light chariots no longer dared to approach, and only dared to wander outside the range of the powerful crossbows.
Although the losses of the tanks on the left wing were heavy, they were still acceptable. Moreover, those dozens of heavy tanks caused at least thousands of casualties to the Jiuyuan infantry in just a few dozen seconds, and the injuries were very few. Most of them were injured.
Killed on the spot.
This was the heaviest casualty among the thirty-nine original infantrymen in this war, except for Li Zuoche's sneak attack with more than ten thousand flying cavalry and feather arrows.
The infantry on the left wing dealt with the harassing Zhao army's chariots, and began to concentrate all their efforts on Li Zuo's flying cavalry, which was trapped in the infantry phalanx.
On the other side, Liu Xin also seized the opportunity to clean up the more than 500 chariots on the right wing.
The reason why Liu Xin saw Li Zuoche's flying cavalry attacking Mengtian's infantry phalanx and did not step forward to help, but directly chose to attack Li Zuoche, was to let the more than 500 people who were preparing to surround the right wing of Mengtian's infantry phalanx return in chariots.
Go to Li Zuoche and gather together.
He knew very well the equipment of the Jiuyuan infantry. In the plains, these thousands of fast-moving chariots posed a much greater threat to the Jiuyuan army than the more than ten thousand flying cavalry. What's more, the more than ten thousand flying cavalry did not
With no movement space, it is impossible for Da Qin's infantry to defeat them in close combat.
This is the self-confidence of the generals and even the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army. This self-confidence was established in countless battles of blood and fire and is unshakable.
This is also the reason why Meng Tian, except for tapping Li Zuoche's army with his fang flag in this battle, never gave any orders after that. Everyone, whether they were generals or soldiers, knew how to cooperate in the most appropriate way.
.
This is the most elite Jiuyuan Army in Great Qin, led by Meng Tian.
Most of the more than 500 chariots gathered to protect Li Zuoche were immediately fatally attacked by Liu Xin's 10,000 cavalry.
The reason why Liu Xin did not attack these more than 500 chariots with crossbows before was because he was too far away from the battlefield, and because the chariots moved to the right wing of the infantry square of Meng Tian's army, crossbows would easily injure his army.
Therefore, he chose to attack and rescue the chariots and soldiers to gather around Li Zuoche, and at the same time, he could also relieve the threat of Meng Tian's right wing being encircled.
More than 10,000 crossbow arrows plunged fiercely into the formation of vehicles guarding Li Zuo's car with their sharp whistling.
The man was on his back and the horse was overturned!
Most of the more than 500 chariots fell under this wave of arrows. The rest of the chariots also hurriedly escaped from the range of the Qin army's crossbows, and suddenly there was a moment of emptiness around Li Zuocha.
The Qin army's combat power and bravery exceeded Li Zuoche's expectations. Facing the sudden attack of the cavalry with infantry, and even after the arrow attack, the formation was still intact and the counterattack was fierce. His more than ten thousand flying cavalry
Now they have been completely trapped in the Qin army's infantry phalanx. If nothing unexpected happens, the more than ten thousand flying cavalry that have been built so hard will be lost in this battle.
Now the Qin army's cavalry moved like rabbits, and the leader's command of the fighter planes was just as big as Li Zuoche's surprise.
"Meng Tian is indeed a famous general in the world!" Li Zuoche felt deeply for the loss of his soldiers.
Just as Liu Xin was about to attack Li Zuoche's army and capture Li Zuoche, shouts of killing came from Li Zuoche's rear formation.
Li Zuoche's army of more than 100,000 infantry on the left and right finally caught up at this time. And it seemed that the army of tens of thousands of infantry on the left wing was going to wrap up his more than 10,000 cavalry.
With an order, the 19,000 original fine cavalry quickly left the battlefield before the left wing army arrived, and continued to cruise outside the battle formation, circling one side, distracting Li Zuoche's attention, and reducing Meng Tian's 30,000 infantry in the center of the battlefield.
pressure.
Li Zuoche didn't hesitate when he saw the 19,000 original fine cavalry just leaving. He was slightly disappointed to have escaped the encirclement he had expected. With these 10,000 cavalry roving outside, he really did not dare to let his left flank
The army attacked Meng Tian's right wing with all its strength.
Because of the previous scene, the threat of these 10,000 cavalrymen in Li Zuoche's mind immediately increased by several levels.
"Order all the archers lurking in the armies on the left and right to go to the army on the left to guard against the Qin army's 10,000 cavalry. Blow the trumpet and order the armies on the left and right to immediately surround Meng Tian's Qin army. Today, we must take Meng Tian's head.
.The Prime Minister personally beats the drum to cheer for our army!"
"Woo woo woo" a low horn sound sounded from Li Zuocha's army.
"Dong dong dong"
After a few breaths, the trumpet sound fell, and Li Zuoche beat the war drum himself, and the steady and thick drum sound resounded throughout the battlefield.
Seeing the Prime Minister beating the war drums in person, the morale of the left and right soldiers who had just arrived suddenly soared and their momentum was like a rainbow. The left and right armies that caught up at the critical moment quickly moved forward and completed the encirclement of Meng Tian's army.
At the moment of encirclement, they launched an overwhelming attack on Meng Tian.
The more than 10,000 Zhao Jun flying cavalry that originally blocked the 30,000 Jiuyuan infantry have all fallen into the center of the 39,000 Jiuyuan infantry square formation, making it difficult to move. At this moment, most of the casualties have been lost, and they are about to be swallowed up by Meng Tian's army. As long as they are solved
With these flying cavalry, Li Zuoche's Chinese army is basically finished.
Coupled with the 19 thousand Yuan Jingqi cruising outside, Meng Tian believed that Li Zuoche would not be able to fly even if he had wings.
However, Li Zuoche's left and right armies suddenly arrived and launched a fierce attack on the Qin army's infantry phalanx. The situation of Meng Tian's army suddenly changed again.
