Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 387

If even a sharpshooter like Bart has nothing to do with the armor of Zhao Guoren, then can the other Linhu tribe cavalry have nothing to do with Zhao Guoren's armor?

The next moment, Bart's ominous premonition came true.

After Bart's order, [-] Lin Hu cavalrymen fired intensive arrow strikes at the Zhao cavalrymen in front of them from three different directions at the same time.

But what surprised all the Lin Hu cavalrymen was that their arrows fell to the ground after touching the armor of these Zhao cavalrymen, without causing any damage at all!

This heavy cavalry of Zhao State seemed to be an invulnerable force. They came out of the bursts of arrows and rushed towards Bart with billowing smoke!

"Not good!" Bart looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly understood something in his heart: "This cavalry from Zhao Kingdom wants to fight us in close quarters!"

Because at this moment, these Zhao Guo heavy cavalry in front of Bart were already less than two hundred steps away from Bart.

At this distance, even if Bart wanted to order his subordinates to retreat, it would be too late.

Gritting his teeth, Bart continued to take out a long arrow from his quiver, and instantly completed the action of bending the bow and nodding the arrow.

This time, Bart did not aim the arrow at the chest of the opponent's Zhao cavalry, but aimed at the opponent's eyes!

Although these Zhao cavalrymen all wore strange helmets on their heads, their eyeballs were not protected by any protection!

"Whoosh!"

Bart loosened his fingers, and the arrow flew across the air like lightning, and fell into the eye socket of a Zhao cavalryman with incomparable accuracy.

Seeing the Zhao cavalryman fall from his horse in an instant, and hearing the scream from behind the helmet, Bart finally felt a little more at ease.

These Zhao cavalrymen are still not invulnerable after all!

But the next moment, another thought emerged from Bart's mind.

With Bart's archery skills, of course he can hit the enemy's eyeballs with incomparable accuracy, but how many of these [-] Lin Hu cavalry have archery skills that can be compared with Bart's?

The answer is none!

So after these two waves of arrow rain, apart from Bart's victory, most of Zhao's cavalry are still rolling in, and they are only fifty steps away from Bart.

For cavalry, this distance is almost instantaneous!

With a strange cry, Bart pulled out his bronze saber from his waist: "Warriors of the Linhu tribe, fight them!"

At this distance, there is no longer any room for retreat.

In front of Bart, countless spears were shining, and the light on the tip of the spears made Bart's heart tremble involuntarily.

"Die, shameful Zhao people!"

Bart held up his saber fearlessly, and slashed heavily at the Zhao cavalrymen who were close in front of him.

The two cavalrymen collided forcefully like two torrents.

A few miles away, King Lin Hu widened his eyes nervously.

"Bart will win, Bart will win!" The young King Linhu told himself silently in his heart.

The next moment, King Lin Hu suddenly widened his eyes.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, an armored cavalryman of the Zhao State rushed out. The spear in the hands of this Zhao State cavalryman was held high, and a mutilated corpse was hung above the spear.

But even so, Lin Hu Wang still relied on his extraordinary eyesight to see the extremely bright red tassel on the head of this corpse at a glance!

"Bart, Bart!"

King Lin Hu opened his mouth wide and suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

The red tassel on the braid at the back of the head is Bart's unique symbol!

In front of King Lin Hu, one after another Zhao cavalrymen rushed out from the smoke and dust, and the tips of countless long spears were raised high in the sun, and the silver-white spear tips were stained with countless blood. It reflects the palpitating bright light in the sun!

Bart lost.

After the smoke and dust cleared, thousands of Lin Hu cavalry shouted frantically and turned their horses' heads, and fled back towards the main formation of the Lin Hu tribe.

And right in front of King Lin Hu, the terrifying cavalry that had just pierced through Bart's troops had already started to line up again, ready to launch another attack!

What frightened King Lin Hu was that the number of Zhao cavalry did not seem to have suffered much damage, and it was still about 1000!

"See, hell! Could it be that these people are heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Not only that, King Lin Hu even heard the sound of humming horns from miles away.

That is the signal that the Zhao cavalry is about to launch a general attack!

Chapter 383 Handling of Henan Land (first update)

Regarding the war that took place between the Zhao State and the Linhu tribe, the historians of the Zhao State recorded this.

"In spring, the emperor sent Li Mu to lead 3000 cavalry from Wuyuan County to the south to fight against the [-] fine cavalry led by King Lin Hu in Henan. At that time, Li Mu sent [-] armored cavalry to fight, and defeated the Hu cavalry vanguard in one battle. [-] men fought again and broke the main formation of the Hu cavalry army. The [-] elite cavalry were all disbanded within half a day. Li Mu took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured [-] Lin Hu cavalry, and sent the Lin Hu cavalry in the Zhao army to surrender everywhere. On that day, the entire territory of Henan will enter the state of Zhao."

"Okay! That's great!" In the main hall of Longtai, Zhao Dan couldn't help beaming with joy after receiving the battle report.

To be honest, even Zhao Dan himself did not expect that Li Mu could solve Lin Hu's department so cleanly and quickly.

Not only Zhao Dan, but also several Zhao Guozhong ministers who were present were all elated after hearing the news.

You must know that this Hetao area, known as Henan, has a very large area, which is equivalent to the sum of Wuyuan, Jiuyuan and Yunzhong among the five northern counties of Zhao State.

Zhao Guo won the entire three counties after only one battle!

Seizing the land of Henan will not only allow Zhao State to obtain another excellent war horse breeding base, but also allow Zhao State's territory to directly border on Qin State's Shangjun, exerting strong pressure on Qin State from the north.

Back then, Zhao Dan's grandfather, King Zhao Wuling, came to Henan in person, traveled all the way to Xianyang through Shangjun for investigation, and lied that he was the envoy of Zhao State to meet Qin Wangji.

At that time, the route that King Wuling of Zhao had envisioned was to go all the way south from Henan, pass through the land of Yiqu people, and rush straight to Xianyang, Guanzhong, without stopping, with lightning speed to overwhelm Mount Tai!

If at that time, because the State of Zhao was not strong enough, this idea could only be locked in the secret room of the palace city of Handan, then now that the State of Zhao has captured the land of Henan, this idea has finally come true. possible!

In this way, Qin State not only had to invest heavily in Hexi to prevent Zhao Guodong County from attacking, but also set up a defense line in the direction of Shangjun to prevent Zhao Guo's army from going south, which was an extra burden out of thin air.

For Zhao Guo, every time Qin Guo consumes more power, it is Zhao Guo's victory.

Zhao Dan was in a good mood, and said to the ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "I want to set up Shuofang and Hetao counties in Henan, and order Li Mu and Xu Li to lead troops to build a city, set up a horse farm, and move criminals here. The population of the two counties has been enriched, what do you think?"

Zhao Dan's plan is actually a method commonly used by various countries when they expand their territories.

Needless to say, setting up counties and counties is also necessary, building cities is also necessary, setting up horse farms is even more certain, and relocating criminals is also a very normal means. After all, the Chinese people have a rural complex since ancient times, and only criminals and prisoners can do this for them. He was exonerated and left his hometown to settle down.

However, some people also raised doubts. Zhijian Li Bo said: "My lord, this Henan land is where the nomadic Hu people live. If a large number of people are moved, how will the food be solved?"
