Chapter 168: The West Wind Is Cold, and the Flowers Are Dead (4)

The king of Donghu gave an order, the Donghu cavalry launched the strongest offensive, the cavalry rushed forward, let the arrows and crossbows of Zhao keep falling, death is also the supreme glory for the Donghu people, no one is afraid, and there is no retreat, pull the reins, the body is attached to the war horse, the weapon is hung on the body, the bow and crossbow in the hand are put aside, the eyes are fixed on the front, as long as the opportunity is seized immediately get up and release the arrow.

On both sides of the Zhao army's camp, a black whirlwind rose instantly, dressed in black heavy armor and black cavalry, Zhao Guo was absolutely elite, holding a sharp long sword, almost all of his body was covered by armor, his combat effectiveness was amazing and his defense was greatly improved.

As a commander, if you don't value the lives of soldiers, who else is willing to work for them, Zhao Jun not only upgrades weapons and armor, but also has the most advanced medical team, and no longer has to worry about fatal injuries, soldiers are grateful, and they fight even more on the battlefield.

The infantry camps of the Zhao army on both sides gradually regained their disadvantage, which could not be seen on the battlefield in the past, and the infantry originally did not have the ability to resist the cavalry, relying on all their hard work.

The arrows kept coming, the bow and crossbow camp was affected, the distance between the two camps was close to each other, and the horn bow used by the Donghu archer seemed to be small, but in fact, the range was not under Zhao Guoqiang's bow and crossbow.

Bang bang bang, the war horse and the weapon crashed into the shield array, and the powerful momentum alone could not resist the body alone, and the Dao figure flew backwards.

The Donghu cavalry approached, the bow and crossbow camp did not retreat at all, Zhao Kuo led three thousand guards to rush to the front with a sharp sword in hand, the long sword was cold on his face, no matter who it was, no matter how many people and horses, no one could cross here.

The front camp was finally defeated under the continuous impact of the Donghu cavalry, and the fierce Donghu cavalry urged the war horses to enter, neighing, and the front hooves raised and stepped on the Zhao army that fell to the ground.

Using skillful horsemanship, the war horse also became a lethal weapon, the middle defensive camp collapsed, and the Donghu cavalry rushed in quickly, and the range continued to expand.

The Donghu cavalry stopped suddenly, the drums were beating, and the killing atmosphere on the battlefield was pervasive, which was understandable, the Donghu people were no strangers to the war for a long time, but why stopped!

Facing the Donghu cavalry is Zhao Kuo led three thousand elites, the black devil team, wearing a black armor and a long sword in his hand, staring at the opponent coldly, and the war horse under the crotch is also wearing thick armor.

The two war horses approached, judging from the clothing, it should be the tribal leader, the Donghu army was composed of dozens of tribes, the most of them were thirty or forty thousand, and the few were only four or five thousand, and the two larger tribes were also responsible for the main attack on the middle camp.

"Do you want to kill him?"

"There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, what a glorious thing it is to conquer the large array of the Zhao army."

"Good!"

The two war horses separated, each raised the weapon in his hand, the cavalry knocked his legs together, the leader issued an attack order, the cavalry was close to the sky, Zhao Kuo snorted coldly, the long sword fell, and the arrows and crossbows of the sharpshooter battalion behind him were sent out one after another, and now it is equivalent to directly facing the Donghu cavalry, the most suitable way for the crossbowman to attack is to occupy the high ground, and defending according to the danger can become a nightmare for the siege camp, and can also protect himself to the greatest extent, and the mountain battle is secondary, so that the flat terrain is the worst.

The bow and crossbow were issued, and the Donghu cavalry dodged one after another, and the body was attached to the back of the war horse, and some people simply stuck it on one side and hung it on it with only their legs, and the bow and crossbow of the Donghu cavalry with superb riding skills also lost its due power.

"Kill!"

The cold voice came out of his throat, Zhao Kuo rushed out first, he couldn't remember the last time he personally went into battle to kill the enemy, Han, Wei, and Qi were almost bloodless, and the easiest way to defeat the Donghu cavalry was to force the other party to fear with more powerful forces.

The opponent is fast, he can only be faster than the opponent, the opponent is stronger, he can only be stronger than him, this is the way of Zhao Kuo's army, combat readiness can maximize combat effectiveness and defense, and the most important thing is to be fearless and fearless, integrated into the entire military camp, into everyone's heart.

The long sword flashed and slashed into the opponent's neck, and the first sword was instantly withdrawn, and the second sword pierced the throat of the Donghu cavalry almost at the same time, which was enough, the purpose had been achieved, and there was no need to make more effort.

The drums intensified, the black devil elites in the middle lane were killed one after another, the Donghu cavalry was routed one after another, the cavalry on both sides launched almost simultaneously, and the black whirlwind kept moving forward.

The king of Donghu showed a look of surprise, the cavalry has always been the proudest place of the Donghu people, and now the cavalry of the Zhao State has launched, and the Donghu cavalry has been killed in the face of the powerful offensive.

"What a great cavalry!"

"Great King, the last general is willing to lead Wang Wei into battle, and he will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop."

King Donghu also holds a trump card in his hand, 40,000 Wang Wei, the troops of King Donghu's cronies, the most brave and good cavalry on the grassland, and the other 80,000 elites are commanded by the four fierce generals, and the east and west sides of the fight are led by two fierce generals to kill the elite, and there are still 40,000 Wang Wei in the middle of the road.

"No hurry!"

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the horn of Donghu is sounding, whining, like a wild wolf howling to the sky, and the Donghu people worship the most ferocious group on the grassland, the wolf.

The wolf, ferocious and cunning, also knows how to play to his strengths, and above all, he is absolutely obedient to the head wolf, unless one day he can defeat the head wolf with his fangs and claws to take the lead position.

The horn sounded, and the fierce generals on both sides of the cavalry camp got rid of the entanglement of the Zhao infantry, urging the war horse to leave quickly, the Zhao infantry suffered countless casualties, facing the companion who fell in a pool of blood, there was only hatred in his eyes, and his legs ran wildly, trying to stop the Donghu cavalry from leaving, but the speed of his legs could not be compared with the war horse at all.

The two camps in the middle of the road retreated early, and the front could not be broken, and the two sides suffered heavy losses from the cavalry of Zhao State, "Go!" ”

"Collect the troops!"

Zhao Kuo withdrew his long sword, there was a Donghu archer above the city wall, and there was no benefit in chasing him, so he simply retreated for the time being and then tried to find a way.

The torches were lit, the Zhao army strengthened the outer defense to avoid the night attack of the Donghu cavalry, the corpses of broken arrows and broken flags were all over the periphery of the city, the left and right camps of the Zhao army suffered heavy losses, and the casualties were close to 30,000 after the first battle, and the camp led by the king of Donghu was also not a few.

The torches in the city were bright, and King Yan bowed out to greet him, "The king worked hard, and the Zhao army was severely damaged in a battle, and the prestige of Donghu was raised!" ”

King Donghu snorted coldly and did not answer, the leaders of the tribes behind him entered in turn, two of them bowed their heads and were silent, the tribe suffered heavy losses from the bow and crossbow of Zhao State, and the strength of the grassland was reduced by sixty percent, and the strength of the grassland was one qiē, originally to take the opportunity to show that he also flattered the king of Donghu, and did not want to end up like this.

"Forget it, death and injury are inevitable, don't take it personally." The Jebe leader looked at it and said.

The man snorted coldly, "It's better for you, stay in the city, and we people will fight with the Zhao army." ”

"The warriors of the Jebel tribe can also go into battle to rush and kill, if you are not satisfied, you will defend the city tomorrow."

"That's it!"

The king of Donghu slapped the table, and the two of them originally quarreled and sat back in their places, "A little dead and wounded, the Donghu tribe is in the same breath, this king said, if this battle is successful, the Donghu people no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold, what we do today is for the descendants of future generations, he will return to the grassland one day, if anyone dares to take the opportunity to send troops to invade the occupied territory, this king will definitely not spare." ”

King Yan sat there without saying a word, these are always Donghu family affairs, it can be seen that the prestige of Donghu King in various tribes is very high, and the Donghu people are brave and ruthless, and they have completely enmity with Zhao in the previous battle.

King Yan clapped his hands, the soldiers entered with wine and meat, King Yan stood up, "I have your help today, this king is grateful, King Zhao is thirsty for killing, Zhao people are brutal, if you can break Zhao, your prestige will inevitably spread all over, just ask who dares to block the Donghu army." ”

When the words fell, most of the leaders of the Donghu tribe showed a smile on their faces, although deaths and injuries were inevitable, the belligerent nature of the Donghu people was fully displayed, and the king of Yan also grasped this point, and tried his best to provoke the Donghu people to yearn for the Central Plains, so that they could spare no effort to fight with the Zhao army, and they could also avoid retreating to the Yan country.

"Great King, it is not good for me to fight head-on, and I should use the advantage of the Eastern Hu people to confront the Zhao army."

The other person got up, "I think my Donghu cavalry has always galloped across the grassland like the wind, and this kind of camp war can't give full play to the power of cavalry at all." ”

"That's right."

The Donghu people mostly chose night attacks, surprise attacks or rush attacks, taking advantage of the cavalry advantage and leaving after the battle, constantly entangled with the opponent, and attacked immediately once they found a flaw.

King Donghu nodded, "Yes, launch a night attack after eating and drinking." ”
