Under the tactics of the Zhao army, the chariot of the Qin army seemed to be vulnerable at all, and the time for the two sides to engage was not long, but the chariot of the Qin army was overturned by the cavalry of the Zhao army, and it lost nearly half of it after a while, although the situation on the battlefield was still in a stalemate for the time being, but after a long time, the Qin army would definitely not be able to hold on, and then the chariots of the left and right armies of the Zhao army were also dispatched, obviously the Zhao army hoped to defeat the left and right armies of the Qin army in one fell swoop.

If both the left and right armies fail, then there is no need to fight in the middle of the road, and the Qin army will definitely lose this battle. Of course, Wang Jian was not a hesitant person, so he immediately ordered that the other infantry of the left and right armies prepare for battle, and transferred 100 of the 200 chariots of the Chinese army, and then sent the 2,000 cavalry troops in the middle road, divided into two teams, to reinforce the left and right armies respectively, hoping to take advantage of the absolute superiority of the Qin army in numbers to win more.

Because Wang Jian also saw clearly that there was no cavalry in the middle of the Zhao army, only a hundred chariots, so it was enough to resist the Zhao army by keeping a hundred chariots in his own Chinese army. Cavalry and chariots can be transferred to support both flanks.

At the same time, Wang Jian also ordered that the middle of the Qin army began to be dispatched to launch an attack on the middle of the Zhao army. However, this time Wang Jian did not dispatch the chariot, but dispatched the infantry army. Because after separating the chariots and cavalry to support the left and right armies, the chariots in the middle of the Qin army did not have an advantage over the Zhao army, and the number of infantry in the middle of the Qin army was 7,000, while the Zhao army was only about 4,000, so if the two sides fought a decisive battle with the infantry army, the Qin army's chances of victory were still very large.

However, Zhao's Chinese army also put the chariot behind the infantry army, and obviously planned to engage in infantry battles with the Qin army, which shows that Zhao Jun also has full confidence in his infantry army. But at this time, Wang Jian didn't have much to do, and could only hope that the Qin army could rely on the superiority in strength and defeat the Zhao army.

So the three armies of the Qin army went out together and forced the Zhao army.

But because the battlefield was still close to the side of the Zhao army at this time, it would take some time for the Qin army to reach the battlefield, and it would be a chariot to reinforce the left and right armies.

At this time, on the battlefield on the left and right, the chariots of the Zhao army had already joined the battlefield, so Gao Yuan also immediately issued an order to the left and right armies, so that the cavalry army would withdraw from the battlefield, return to the team, reorganize, and hand over the current battlefield to the chariots.

As the horn sounded, the cavalry of the Zhao army withdrew from the battlefield one after another, retreated to the rear, and gave the battlefield to the chariots, which were far superior to the chariots in terms of flexibility, advancing and retreating freely. However, after the attack of the cavalry, the two hundred chariots of the Qin army had been damaged by more than half at this time, and the remaining chariots were also disturbed by the Zhao army, so after the chariots of the Zhao army joined the battlefield, the remaining chariots of the Qin army were still defeated, and the result was beaten by the chariots of the Zhao army. And the cavalry stopped for a moment, waiting for the moment.

But Wang Jian knew that this was a situation that was achieved after the cavalry of the Zhao army got out of the battle, obviously at this time the cavalry of the Zhao army was recuperating and waiting to return to the battlefield, although the Qin army of the left and right armies also had a thousand cavalry troops each, but the cavalry of the Qin army was far inferior to the Zhao army in terms of number and battle, so once the cavalry of the Zhao army returned to the battlefield, the situation could be changed immediately, and the only advantage of the Qin army was the number of people, and the other was to make a big breakthrough on the battlefield in the middle.

At this time, the infantry of the Qin army in the middle had also approached the Zhao army, and the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, and the infantry of the Zhao army also adjusted their formation and met them.

There are 4,000 infantry in the middle of the Zhao army, in fact, it is the infantry trained on the plateau, at this time, it is also arranged in a group of fifteen people, arranged in the formation of the mandarin duck array, a total of three rows are discharged, each row has eighty squads, the distance between the left and right of each squad is about three meters, and the horizontal spread is about more than three hundred meters, and each row is arranged in a staggered way, because the array is more scattered, so after the array is expanded, it looks similar to the scale of the Qin army.

After the distance between the two sides was shortened by thirty meters, the crossbowmen behind the Zhao army's array shot arrows at the Qin army, and the double-edged axe soldiers also threw javelins at the Qin army, killing and wounding the Qin army in an instant.

In fact, bows and crossbows have always been the strength of the Qin army, because the cost of bows and crossbows is very expensive, and only a strong national force like Qin can assemble a large number of bows and crossbows for the army. It's just that the Qin army is also the same as the armies of other countries, and the crossbowmen are basically organized separately, and they can only play a role when the two sides fight from a distance, and once the two sides are in close combat, the crossbow will not be able to play a role, so when the Qin army takes the initiative to attack, the crossbowmen are not very useful. After all, in this era, there is no tactic of mixed arms combat.

However, the mandarin duck formation tactics used by the Zhao army are precisely a flexible and mobile mixed arms combat tactics, although it seems very simple on the surface, it is nothing more than a dozen people, using different weapons, to carry out mixed operations, but in fact, this is a tactic that Qi Jiguang created after summarizing the combat methods of ancient China for nearly 2,000 years, and Qi Jiguang himself is also a genius military strategist. Therefore, the mandarin duck array he created is extremely powerful, and it can give full play to the power of various weapons and fight together.

Encountering a bow and arrow blow from the Zhao army was also greatly unexpected by the Qin army, but it was impossible to retreat now, and could only advance in one go, because at this time, the distance between the two sides was less than thirty meters, and as long as they could engage the other party, the opponent's bow and arrow would have no room to play. In addition, in the hearts of every Qin army, they are also thinking that crossbowmen cannot engage in melee combat, and the number of Zhao troops is originally less than that of the Qin army, and there are a large number of crossbowmen among them, so there are fewer soldiers who can do melee combat, so as long as the Qin army can rush through this distance and start a melee battle with the Zhao army, it can defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop.

It was with this idea that the Qin army braved the arrows of the Zhao army and advanced bravely, but fortunately, the distance between the two sides was not far at this time, so although the Qin army lost some soldiers, it quickly advanced in front of the Zhao army.

But the Qin army, which rushed to the front row, soon found that in the front of the Zhao army, there was a row of shield players, standing side by side in groups of two, and a little behind the shield players, there was also a halberd soldier on each side, and the two halberds stretched out from both sides of the shield and stopped the Qin army, so the Qin army also stopped and started a fierce battle with the Zhao army. And at this moment, in the third row of the Zhao army, there were two pikemen in the fourth row, wielding their guns and stabbing at the Qin army from behind the soldiers in the front row.

In the rear of the Zhao army, the four crossbowmen opened their bows and arrows to the Qin army, although the distance between the two sides was only more than ten meters, if it was under normal circumstances, the Qin soldiers could rush up to assassinate the Zhao army's crossbowmen as long as they took two or three steps, but because there were Zhao army's shield soldiers and halberd soldiers in front of them, as well as the attack of four pikemen, the Qin soldiers could not break through the Zhao soldiers' blocking for a while, and could only watch the Zhao army's crossbowmen shoot at themselves arrow by arrow. There are also two double-edged axemen, who also throw javelins from time to time.

At such a close distance, the arrow javelin was almost a hundred shots, and the soldiers of the Qin army could only resign themselves to fate, hoping that the crossbowmen's target was not aimed at themselves. Because when the Qin soldiers were dodging the bows and arrows, there were still four pikemen, and the spear assassination was also merciless, but the Qin army's counterattack was blocked by the two shield bearers and two halberd soldiers in front of the Zhao army, and they could not attack the pikemen.

As a result, at the beginning of the battle, it was almost completely one-sided, under the blows of the Zhao army, the soldiers of the Qin army fell to the ground almost one after another, either stabbed to death by the pikemen of the Zhao army, or shot by the crossbowmen, either dead or wounded, while the Zhao army was almost unharmed.

In fact, this is not because the Qin army does not work hard, or the soldiers are inferior to the Zhao soldiers, in these aspects, the Qin army is not under the Zhao army. It is because the Zhao army is now a systematic operation, and it is fifteen people who form a perfect combat system and carry out coordinated operations, although the Qin army cannot be regarded as fighting alone, but it has not formed a combat body, and the Qin army is also the first time to encounter such a combat pattern, so in the face of the overall operation of the Zhao army, the Qin army, which has always been extremely brave in the past, is vulnerable at this time.

The battle lasted for about ten minutes, and the Qin army was completely at a disadvantage, but so far, it was only the first row of the Zhao army's Mandarin Duck Formation team that engaged the Qin army, and they basically stood still and did not advance forward.

And at this moment, in the rear formation of the Zhao army, the horn sounded, and the Mandarin Duck Formation team of the second row of the Zhao army, from the gap between the first row of squads, rushed forward, joined the battle group, and gradually advanced, crossed the first row, and became the main force in the fierce battle with the Qin army.

The first row of the Mandarin Duck Formation team that fell behind immediately switched places with the third row, gave up the second position to the third row, and retreated to the position of the last row, while the third row of the Mandarin Duck Formation team repeated the practice of the second row of the Mandarin Duck Formation team, broke through the gap in the front row, and then jumped over the front row and engaged the Qin army. After a short adjustment in the first row, the first row that had retreated immediately followed suit.

In this way, the three rows of Zhao troops were replaced by each other, but they were advancing steadily, and there was no chaos at all, which also fully showed that the soldiers of the Zhao army had undergone strict training, and only killed the Qin army and retreated again and again, unable to resist the advance of the Zhao army. Although the speed of the Zhao army was not fast, it was so step by step, steady and steady, and after more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, it advanced a distance of more than 20 meters, and almost all the corpses left on the ground were the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin army, and only a small number were the Zhao army.
