Chapter 788: Victory (3rd Update)
With this roar, the heavy sound of horses' hooves began to sound, beating like a dense drum beat in the hearts of everyone who heard it.
Wang Qian's face changed: "Could it be ......" He subconsciously turned his head to look, and just happened to see a dazzling light!
Wang Jian was so flashed by this light that he subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again after a few breaths, he finally saw the other party's way clearly.
A heavy cavalry!
Hundreds of heavily armored cavalry roared from Wang Qian's right rear and rushed into the Qin army's formation, sabers and spears in their hands waving wantonly, bringing up large areas of blood.
"It's armored cavalry!" Wang Qian's body shook violently.
There is no doubt that the cavalry that appeared here and now is, of course, the armored cavalry led by Zhao Kuo.
The sudden attack of the armored cavalry was obviously something that neither Qin nor Zhao had expected at all, so when this cavalry directly entered the Qin army's formation from the flank, the originally invincible Qin army suddenly became a little chaotic.
And all this was naturally seen by Lian Po and Zhao Dan.
Lian Po's heart was surprised and happy, and he couldn't help but speak: "It's Zhao Kuo!" Why did he come!? ”
Zhao Dan also showed a smile on his face, and said to Lian Po: "Wu Xinjun, it seems that the outnumbered left wing troops should have succeeded, and the people of Wei and Chu must have been defeated by General Lecheng!" ”
Zhao Dan's conjecture was not wrong at all, the reason why Zhao Kuo appeared here was precisely because the allied forces of Wei and Chu had been defeated by Zhao's left route army, and then they took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, just in time for the precarious scene of the middle route army.
Many years after the end of this war, many later military scholars and historians will still take the trouble to state two important points when referring to this war.
According to the mainstream view, the biggest problem why the Four-Nation Alliance, which actually had the upper hand in terms of combat effectiveness, was defeated in this battle was that the commanders of the Wei-Chu Coalition Army did not pay enough attention to the armored cavalry or cavalry before the war, which led to the collapse of the right flank of the Four-Nation Alliance, which eventually affected the entire Four-Nation Alliance.
If the Wei-Chu coalition army can support even half an hour or even a quarter or two of an hour under the attack of the left flank of the Zhao army, the Qin State Middle Route Army, which performed the most well in this great war of the Four Nations Alliance, should be able to break through the place of the Zhao State Middle Route Army and give Zhao State a central flower.
But facts are facts, no ifs.
After all, Lian Po was a super general who had experienced a lot of battles, and almost immediately came to his senses and realized that the opportunity for Zhao Jun's victory had come.
The next moment, General Lian Po raised his long sword vigorously, raised his arms and shouted: "Don't panic the second and third sons, the reinforcements have arrived, and they will attack together, and break the enemy with the friendly army!" Wansheng! ”
The majestic drums sounded from the formation of the central army of the Zhao army, and the soldiers of the central army of the Zhao State were greatly boosted after the arrival of reinforcements, and they actually stabilized their positions in an instant and began to launch a crazy counterattack.
On the other hand, the Qin army, which was originally one step away from success, was extremely depressed because of the sudden arrival of the armored cavalry, and its combat effectiveness and morale suddenly dropped by several grades.
Between the two sides, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed in an instant.
However, in a moment, Wang Qian, who was originally charging at the forefront, had already hundreds of Qin Ruishi beside him, and he was about to be cut off by Zhao Kuo, who was killing from the side and rear.
In the current situation, once Wang Jian is surrounded by the Zhao army, then he will never be able to go back.
Wang Jian swung out a sword with all his might, and the long sword sank into the left chest of a Zhao Guobai general in front of him like a poisonous snake, stabbing the opponent through the heart, and then kicked the opponent directly away, and the body that flew out smashed into several Zhao soldiers.
Taking advantage of such a little time, Wang Jian raised his head to look at the huge, very conspicuous Zhao King Banner less than a hundred steps away, and then his eyes followed the flagpole of the Wang Banner all the way down, and landed on the majestic man in the golden helmet and golden armor under the Wang Banner.
Wang Jian suddenly found that the other party's gaze had been looking at him calmly, as if a giant dragon was looking at the small prey in front of him.
"It turns out that he is King Zhao!"
Because Wang Qian's status is not high, he has never been qualified to participate in various high-level meetings, so this is the first time he has seen Zhao Dan's true face.
At this moment, a passionate thought suddenly surged into Wang Qian's heart: "If you can kill this King Zhao, then the outcome of this war is still unknown!" ”
In the past history, there have been countless wars that have been reversed because the Lord General was accidentally captured and killed, not too many!
As long as King Zhao can be killed, then whether it is the victory or defeat of this war, or Wang Qian's personal reputation, even the hegemony of the Qin State, and even the change in the history of the entire continent, it will be incomparable.
Yes, as long as you can kill this King Zhao in front of you!
However, if you want to kill this King Zhao, how easy is it? Not to mention the many dead guards in front of King Zhao who were personally led by Lian Po, even the last line of defense of the Zhao army in front of these guards, the current Wang Jian and the Qin army are no longer able to continue to break through.
Wang Jian took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted at a Qin Ruishi hundred general behind him: "Give me five breaths of time!" ”
Qin Ruishi's hundred generals froze for a moment, but immediately came back to their senses and gave an order to several Qin Ruishi around them, and several people instantly formed an encirclement to protect Wang Jian and isolate all those who wanted to launch attacks on Wang Qian.
Wang Jian almost did not hesitate to take off his longbow from his body, this longbow has accompanied Wang Jian through many battles, and it can be said that it is a long-range weapon that Wang Jian loves like life.
Wang Jian took out a long arrow from the quiver behind him, took a deep breath, took out a long arrow from the quiver behind him, put it on the bowstring, and then pulled the bow with all his strength, and the bowstring was full in an instant.
The next moment, Wang Jian pointed the tip of the arrow at Zhao Dan not far away, and said a word silently in his heart.
"Die!"
Then let go of the hand.
With a "whoosh", the arrow shot into the sky, drawing an almost straight parabola in the sky, and rushed towards Zhao Dan.
Almost at the same time that Wang Jian shot this arrow, Zhao Dan, who had been watching Wang Qian, also noticed the existence of this arrow.
Zhao Dan was shocked in his heart, and instinctively wanted to turn around and avoid it, but Wang Jian shot arrows from the bow to the arrows to Zhao Dan, but only a few breaths of time had passed, and the momentum of this arrow was too fast to avoid at all, so Zhao Dan had no choice but to turn his head away.
"Duh!" The arrow grazed Zhao Dan's cheek and directly sank into the flagpole of the king flag behind Zhao Dan, and the tail feathers of the arrow tail were still trembling.
Lian Po turned around and saw this scene, this frightening was really extraordinary.
"King!"
Zhao Dan heyed, his whole face turned pale and he stood there, and after a few breaths, he said, "Widow...... Nothing. ”
It was only at this time that Zhao Dan felt a slight tingling pain in his right cheek, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, but touched a few drops of blood.
Just a little bit, Zhao Dan's life was really going to be taken away by this arrow.
But in the end, it didn't work out.
When Wang Jian saw this scene, he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, and was about to continue shooting a few more arrows, when a roar like thunder sounded from behind him.
"Wang Qian, take your life!"
Wang Jian looked back and found that a tall horse with a knight on the horse had arrived in front of him, and the blood-stained saber was raised high in the air and was falling towards his head, it was Zhao Kuo, who had fought with Wang Jian many times.
Wang Jian also knew very well in his own heart that with the long sword in his hand, he couldn't pierce the heavy armor on Zhao Kuo's body at all, and Zhao Kuo even rushed over with a weight of hundreds of pounds of people and horses, and Wang Jian could be trampled to death just by stepping on it, and it was not something that Wang Jian could fight head-on at all.
Wang Jian was helpless in his heart, so he had to fall to the ground and roll over one side, which was able to avoid Zhao Kuo's falling saber and roll a zhang away.
But Wang Qian, who was a little agitated because of the assassination miss, ignored one point, that is, Zhao Kuo was not the only one.
So when Wang Jian stood up from the ground, he happened to see another armored cavalryman coming on.
This armored cavalry tall horse, without slowing down, slammed into Wang Qian's body, Wang Jian screamed, only felt that the whole person seemed to be rushed by an elephant, the whole person rose into the air and drew a parabola in the air and fell heavily to the ground.
One armored cavalry after another swarmed by, and the billowing smoke and dust from the horses' hooves instantly submerged Wang Qian.
In the rear of the Qin army, the main general Wang Yi and the deputy general Wang Ling witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and their hearts were cold.
After the armored cavalry, the main force of tens of thousands of infantry on the left flank of the Zhao army led by Le Cheng had also arrived, and at the same time, there were many Wei-Chu coalition troops fleeing in all directions, making the Qin army's defense line even more shaky.
Wang Yi wanted to crush his steel teeth, although he tried his best to save the defeat, but at this moment, the general trend has been achieved, and it is no longer something that can be redeemed by any personal strength.
Under the combined attack of the left and center armies of the Zhao army, the Qin army in the middle of the Four-Nation Alliance was defeated, and then the Korean army on the left saw that the situation was not good and began to retreat, which eventually evolved into a super rout and a big pursuit.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the battle finally came to an end.
In a fierce battle, Zhao finally succeeded in winning again!
According to historians: "In the twelfth year of the first emperor, the six countries came to attack, and the emperor led a large army to fight with the coalition army in Suiyang. The Japanese and Chinese battles broke the enemy's left flank first, and then attacked the Chinese army, and then won a great victory. The beheadings in this battle were not counted, the coalition army suffered countless casualties, and there was not one of the three who could return to their country. ”
