Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 420

"Why are Zhao Jun's cavalry so endless?"

There were at least 2000 Zhao Jun cavalry who appeared in front of the Qin Army this time!

What made Wang Ling even more upset was that Zhao Guoren was much faster than himself, so even if the number of people who appeared in front of Wang Ling was only one thousand or two thousand each time, there was nothing Wang Ling could do about it. Not to be able to take the initiative to attack.

What happened just now was almost unchanged in front of the Qin army again.

A moment later, there was another blaring sound. This time, the two thousand Zhao Jun cavalry who appeared in front of the Qin Army divided up again, bypassing the front of the Qin Army and heading towards the left and right sides.

"The Zhao cavalry are back, back!" A flustered shout came into Wang Ling's ears.

Wang Ling looked back, only to find that the two Zhao army Qianqi who had bypassed the Qin army's position at first appeared on the two wings of the Qin army again after making a big circle!

Looking down from the sky, you will find that these Zhao army cavalry are like a few vicious poisonous snakes, constantly circling around the Qin army who formed a self-protection formation, shooting arrows while circling, but they will never launch an attack. Charge.

Every quarter of an hour, a Zhao army cavalry will slowly withdraw from the battlefield, and then a new Zhao army cavalry will join the battle group.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and before you knew it, the sun had already slanted westward, and it seemed that it would fall into the western horizon in half an hour at most.

On all sides of the Qin Army's position, there were the sound of horseshoes made by Zhao Jun's cavalry riding their horses everywhere, and billowing smoke and dust everywhere.

Standing on top of the tall chariot, Wang Yan looked around. He couldn't see anything except Zhao Jun's cavalry looming in the countless smoke and dust, as well as the bows and arrows shooting out of the smoke. !

Wang Ling frowned. Although the half-day battle hadn't caused too many losses to the Qin army, the feeling that there were enemies in all directions, and it was impossible to see clearly the enemy's deployment was really bad.

What worries Wang Ling even more is that because these Zhao Army cavalry have been running back and forth at high speed in front of the Qin Army's formation without launching a frontal attack, and their formation is far less dense than when the infantry charged, they still have to attack. With the sky full of smoke and dust as a cover, the Qin army's arrows were actually quite limited in terms of damage to these Zhao army cavalry, and they were not as effective against infantry.

The chariots that Wangling carried in this battle were limited, and except for the front line of defense, the other three sides lacked sufficient protection, so they had to rely on infantry to hold shields at the front as cover.

If the consumption continues like this, until all the arrows are exhausted, then Wang Ling's troops will probably become the shackles of Zhao's cavalry!

There was a chill in Wang Ling's heart.

But immediately Wang Ling calmed down again, because Wang Ling suddenly remembered that he had reinforcements!

Although Wang Ling didn't carry too many arrows with the army, as long as he saved a little, it should be no problem to last for a day or two.

As long as the reinforcements arrive, they will be able to cooperate with each other and defeat Zhao Jun!

At this time, another sound of horseshoes came from a distance in the smoke, and it was obvious that General Zhao Jun on the opposite side dispatched another cavalry.

For some reason, when Wang Ling heard the sound of horseshoes, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The sound of horseshoes seems to be too heavy and too dense.

Wang Ling turned his gaze left and right, and finally found the source of the sound.

It didn't come from the front of the Qin army, but from the flank of the Qin army.

Wang Ling seemed to remember something, and his expression changed.

"Could it be that"

Just when this idea appeared in Wang Ling's mind, a cavalry soldier that Wang Ling had never seen before rushed out of the billowing smoke and appeared in Wang Ling's sight.

Chapter 4 Breaking Qin Bing (third change)

The moment Wang Ling saw this cavalry, Wang Ling couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This is a force that is enough to firmly catch everyone's attention once it appears.

A knight as tall as an iron tower sits on an equally tall steed. Under the setting sun, the armor covering his body seems to have a layer of golden waves flowing on it. Thousands of knights form an extremely dense torrent of steel. The long spear loomed in the billowing smoke and dust, and the sharp tip of the spear shone with a silvery cold light, making it daunting.

Wang Ling gasped, his heart seemed to have been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and his body began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

Without any explanation or explanation, Wang Ling knew exactly what kind of army he encountered just by looking at it.

This cavalry unit was far taller and mightier than any cavalry Wang Ling had ever seen, more unstoppable, and more terrifying!

At the next moment, another thought jumped into Wang Ling's mind.

"They're coming from the right side!"

Wangling was frozen as if struck by lightning.

By this time, Wang Ling had fully understood the arrangement of the Zhao general opposite him.

First, the light cavalry was used to surround the Qin army, and the wheel battle was used to consume the Qin army's physical strength and arrows. At the same time, the ubiquitous dust and smoke would also block the Qin army's sight.

Immediately afterwards, at the right time, taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army's sight was obscured by dust and smoke and could not detect Zhao's movements, they quietly transferred this armored cavalry to the Qin army's flank, and launched an attack on this weakly defended flank, and prepared to use it This tearing gap broke through and disintegrated the entire Qin army's defense line in one fell swoop.

Although he had never fought against this armored cavalry, Wang Ling was a veteran of the battlefield after all, and his vision was very vicious.

Just looking at it, Wang Ling was very clear in his heart that the power of this armored cavalry charging was definitely not inferior to the chariot soldiers of the Qin army!

As long as this armored cavalry rushes into its own infantry formation, it will be like a tiger entering a herd, and what will happen next will definitely be a massacre!

The problem is that Wang Ling placed all the chariots in front. At this moment, on the right flank where the armored cavalry charged, there were only some infantry holding shields to form the first line of defense, and then there were some grain transport vehicles accompanying the army.

Although this line of defense is crude, it can actually be used to deal with light cavalry.

But most of these grain trucks are small carts driven by peasants, and a few are two-wheeled carts pulled by livestock. Although these carts are also carts, their protection is worse than that of heavy chariots. too far.

Wang Ling stayed for a few seconds, then suddenly yelled crazily: "What are you doing in a daze, let the arrows go, let the arrows go!"

Under the roar of Wang Ling, the crossbowmen of the Qin army aimed at the armored cavalry rushing in front of them, and fired all the crossbows in their hands.

"Swoosh!" Hundreds of crossbow bolts flew across the air in a nearly straight parabola, and shot into the formation of armored cavalry in an extremely dense manner.

Wang Ling clenched his fists subconsciously, and let out a silent cry in his heart.

"In, must be in!"

The crossbowmen of the Qin army did not disappoint Wang Ling. Under Wang Ling's expectant eyes, many crossbow arrows accurately hit the body of the armored cavalry.

But the next moment, something happened that made Wang Ling almost unbelievable.

A crossbow bolt that can easily penetrate any leather armor on weekdays hit the chest of an armored cavalry rushing forward, making a sound of gold and iron intersecting. He leaned back, then quickly stabilized his figure, and continued to charge.

And the crossbow that hit the armored cavalryman's chest just now fell to the ground and disappeared into the billowing dust and smoke.

There were also many arrows that hit the thighs, lower abdomen, shoulders, and even foreheads of these knights, but they were all blocked.

After the entire armored cavalry phalanx suffered a round of volleys, it seemed that they were not affected in any way!

"This is impossible!!!" Wang Ling yelled out of control.

At this moment, Wang Ling felt extremely regretful, why didn't he bring the bed crossbow with him!
