Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 799

Judging from this theorem, it is obvious that Zhao Guo, which has been growing silently for decades, has reached the time when it should decline.

Zhao Dan knew very well in his heart that since the entire history had been changed by him, once Zhao Dan was defeated, no one could say whether Qin would still rule the world.

If because of this failure, there will be a huge turning point in the history of the Chinese world, and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period will be completely divided like Europe in history, then Zhao Dan feels that he will definitely be a sinner who will be remembered forever for the Chinese nation .

Therefore, the Battle of Suiyang City must not fail. Zhao Dan must lead Zhao Guo to win this victory. He must make Zhao Guo the first dynasty to unify China, so that history can return to the unified China once again. Only in the formality of the law can it be determined that this civilization that is destined to be the most brilliant, magnificent and long-lasting will become the strongest civilization in history!

This is Zhao Dan's responsibility, and it is the responsibility that Zhao Dan, as a traveler, must shoulder for this great nation.

So Zhao Dan is willing to bet on any chip for such a victory, even if the chip is his own life, he will not hesitate!

It took almost two hours for the 35 troops to gather and line up. When the sun had slowly moved to a place not far from the highest point in the sky, Lian Po, who had been by Zhao Dan's side all the time, Finally got feedback from his subordinates, and said to Zhao Dan: "All the formations of the king have been completed, and you can send troops."

Zhao Dan nodded, and said to Lian Po: "General, you can do whatever you want, and I will definitely become your most solid backing!"

Lian Po bowed and didn't say anything else, but began to issue orders: "Pass the order down, beat the drums and march!"

The rumbling drums began to be beat, and the battle of Suiyang, which was destined to be recorded in the annals of history, finally kicked off.

Looking down from the sky, it can be seen that whether it is Zhao's side or the four-nation coalition's side, both sides have formed a posture of three armies from the left, the center, and the right.

On the side of Zhao State, Zhao Dan personally sits in the central army with Lian Po, and is responsible for coordinating and commanding the entire Zhao State's 35 troops. Li is in charge of the right wing.

On the side of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, the 15 Qin army led by Wang Yan served as the central army, the 15 South Korean army led by Jin Yan served as the left wing, and the 15 coalition troops of Wei and Chu served as the right wing.

After receiving the order, the warriors of Zhao State on the hundred ox carts behind Zhao Dan and Lian Po immediately waved their arms, vigorously raised the drumsticks in their hands, and knocked on the ox carts placed beside them. The cowhide drum on the cart.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The heavy drums resounded through everyone's eardrums like thunder, and at the same time, the huge king's flag behind Zhao Dan also began to wave, and it kept changing one after another under the waving of the flag officer. A signal issued orders to General Zhao Jun in all directions.

With the sound of drums and the announcement of semaphore, Zhao Jun's formation began to change slowly, and the left and right wings slowly came out like two sharp arrows, heading towards the left and right wings of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations.

This is also the strategy conceived by Zhao Jun's general staff and Lian Po and other generals of the Zhao State, which gathered dozens of people in the past few days. The strategy was first weak and then strong.

Among the four-nation coalition in front of us, the strongest must belong to the Qin army, the second-best is the Han army, and the weakest is undoubtedly the right wing composed of Wei and Chu.

So this time Zhao Jun is going to break the right wing formed by Wei and Chu first, and then he can take advantage of the situation to cover up and defeat the central and left armies of the coalition forces, thus winning the war.

It is actually very old-fashioned, and it is also a tactic that has been repeated many times in past wars, but old-fashioned does not mean outdated. On the contrary, the generals of various countries have used this tactic many times for hundreds of years. It proved the rationality of this tactic and the success rate it can bring.

However, it is not that there are no capable people on the side of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations.

Almost at the same time that Zhao Jun had just started to act, Wang Lu, who was also the general of the Qin Army and the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, had already learned of Zhao Jun's movements through his own visual inspection and the reports from the scouts.

The chief general of the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms twitched his mouth slightly, then turned his head to Wang Ling beside him and said, "The movements of the Zhao army are exactly as we expected before the battle."

A smile also appeared on Wang Ling's face, and he said, "What the general said is very true. But to be honest, this should be the best choice Lian Po can make under the current situation."

Wang Yan nodded, sneered, and said, "Yes, this is indeed the best choice Zhao Guoren made, but did he really think that the Wei-Chu coalition army would be defeated so easily? Also, did he really Do you really think that his central army is so indestructible? Well, let us not delay, pass on the order, let’s beat the drums and march!"

As soon as Wang Yan gave an order, the same rumbling drums sounded in the rear of the coalition forces. The huge black commander flag of the Qin State began to flutter and dance. He rushed out, shouting towards Zhao Jun who was several miles away.

Contrary to the Zhao army, it was not the two wings that rushed forward on the side of the four-nation coalition, but the Qin army in the middle, which happened to form a "pin" shape.

Regarding Lian Po's tactics of breaking the flank first, Wang Lu's response was also very simple. He did not go to reinforce the Wei Chu army on his right wing, but directly chose to break through Zhao's central army.

As long as the Zhao army can be defeated, the left and right wings of the Zhao army will be cut off in an instant, and then the Zhao army will naturally be defeated.

Of course, it is obviously not so easy to break through Zhao Guo's central army, because Zhao Dan is sitting in the central army, and the morale bonus is extremely strong, and according to common sense, Zhao Dan's central army must also be Zhao Dan's. The country's strongest army is located.

However, Wang Lu is very confident in himself and the soldiers of the Qin Army under his command. After all, Wang Lu broke through the two lines of defense of Lian Po in Shangdang County, and that was still in the mountains of Shangdang County. Now that Lian Po doesn't have the mountain pass as a barrier, Wang Lu doesn't believe that Lian Po can defend his attack at all!

As long as Wei State and Chu State can delay enough time, then Wang Lu will be able to completely defeat Zhao State's central army, and win this invaluable victory for the coalition army and the other six countries!

In the billowing smoke and dust, the first wave of soldiers from both sides collided like two monstrous waves. Countless sharp sword blades waved wantonly in the air, reflecting dazzling rays of light in the sun.

The Battle of Suiyang kicked off with this extremely tragic first wave of battles.

Chapter 785 Armored Prestige (adding more rewards for Xiaoba)

In the entire battlefield, on the left wing of the Zhao army, which is also the right wing battlefield of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, countless soldiers of the Allied Forces of Wei and Chu are charging like a tide.

Chu State General Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, Shangzhu State Jingyang and Wei State General Tian Chong stood side by side on the same chariot, looking nervously at the smoky battlefield in front of them.

To be honest, even though these three are experienced people, they still seem quite nervous at this moment.

After all, the strength of the Zhao army over the years has left a very deep impression on both countries, so they have both expectations and fears for the upcoming battle.

Suddenly, Huang Xie pointed to the front and shouted: "Come on, come on!"

The other two looked intently and found Zhao Jun's trace.

Even on such a noisy battlefield, an extremely dull sound of horseshoes, as if the sky was falling apart, still entered the ears of the three of them very clearly. The next moment, a heavy cavalry appeared.

"It's Zhao's armored cavalry!" Shangzhu Guojingyang took a breath, and couldn't believe what he saw: "The Zhao people actually used the armored cavalry on the left wing?"

That's right, what appeared was the [-] armored cavalry led by Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao, who came from the North Camp in Handan of Zhao State, occupying half of Zhao State's current armored cavalry.

These armored cavalry are all tall horses, whether they are humans or horses, they are covered with armor with excellent defensive power, and they also wear thick helmets on their heads, so that it is impossible to see what kind of person is behind the helmet. expression.

This gave their opponents the illusion that when facing armored cavalry, it seemed that they were facing an army killed from hell, which made people feel extremely frightened involuntarily.

The next moment, two thousand armored cavalry directly rushed into the frontal formation of the coalition forces of Wei and Chu. Countless spears and sabers waved in the air, causing countless bloody storms.

Although the soldiers of the Wei and Chu coalition forces rushed to the front, they also used weapons such as spears and spears to block the attack of these armored cavalry, but their weapons did not hit the armored knights and horses at all. Any effect can't break through the thick armor protection at all.

Two thousand armored cavalry slammed into the position of the coalition forces of the Wei and Chu countries like a torrent of steel, tearing a big hole, like a giant warship cleaving the waves in the sea, no matter how the wind and waves howl It can't stop the horseshoes of armored cavalry at all.

Spears and sabers were waving in the air, stumps and broken arms resounded through the sky with screams. This was not a fair battle at all, but a one-sided massacre!

In the main formation of the Wei-Chu Allied Forces, Huang Xie and the other three saw this scene, and their faces immediately turned pale.

Huang Xie couldn't help but muttered: "It is said that Zhao Guogu's armored cavalry is invincible in the world. I thought it was just nonsense before, but I didn't expect to see it today, it is so terrifying!"

Yes, before this, neither the Chu State nor the Wei State had any experience in frontal combat with armored cavalry on the plains.

It is precisely because of this that they actually have some doubts about the combat effectiveness of this armored cavalry in their hearts, thinking that the armored cavalry may be nothing more than that at all, but those losers deliberately exaggerated that's all.

In fact, it's not just these three people, all the generals in this era except General Zhao, they haven't faced up to the strength of the cavalry, and they still uphold the backward thinking that "infantry is invincible".

Even though the state of Zhao has ruled the Central Plains for several years, some people still think that the reason why the state of Zhao is so powerful is only that the infantry of the state of Zhao is strong enough.As for the reason why Zhao's cavalry is so famous, it is only because the Guanzhong area is more suitable for cavalry to fight. Otherwise, why did Zhao's heavy cavalry never fight in the Central Plains?

In the eyes of these other generals, Zhao's cavalry did not fight in the Central Plains because the people of Zhao knew well that Zhao's cavalry could not deal with the infantry of the Central Plains countries head-on!

Until six years after the Battle of Changping, until Li Mu had led Zhao Guo's heavy cavalry to defeat the general Wang Ling of the Qin Army, some people still upheld this kind of idea, which was considered ridiculous by military scientists of later generations, and supported it. There are not a few people who have ideas, such as Huang Xie, Jing Jing and Tian Chong, the actual commanders of the right wing of the four-nation coalition.

The innovation of military tactics, like the reform of the country, has never been an easy and quick thing.
