Chapter 561: Battle (3)
At this time, the two army of the army had retreated to less than 200 steps away from the main formation, and Jiang Huanwu, the chief general of the left army, immediately ordered the general order to attack on the whole line from the plateau, and ordered the cavalry to attack from the top of the mountain first, and attack the Qin army that forced the army to retreat from both sides.
The left flank of the Dai Army is composed of the three armies of the Wu'an Corps, including the three armies of Xiaocai, Qingshuo, and Shengjie, plus three new armies, including one of the whole cavalry army, one of the cavalry mixed army, and one of the full infantry army, and one of the three new armies is also a cavalry mixed army, and the total number of cavalry has reached more than 9,000 cavalry. And with Jiang Huanwu's order, the Xiao cavalry army immediately set out, killed the mountain, and rushed towards the Qin army.
The Cavalry was an all-cavalry army, consisting of 5,000 lightly armored cavalry and a newly formed 1,500 heavy cavalry. However, the heavy cavalry is an important hole card in the plateau, and it is easy not to use it, so all the light cavalry that is attacking now is it. On the top of the mountain, it was divided into two branches, left and right, and attacked from both sides of the Qin army. Subsequently, Jiang Huanwu ordered the Qingshuo army and a cavalry army belonging to the new army to attack and intercept the Qin army that came up from behind.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves stirred up the dust in the sky, and the two cavalry armies rushed down the hillside like two long dragons, one left and one right, and attacked the Qin army in Helong. The other two cavalry armies bypassed the Qin army and rushed towards the Qin army that had come up with reinforcements.
At this time, the Qin army who went out to fight also found that the cavalry of the Dai army had attacked, and hurriedly stopped the pursuit of the Dai army, stabilized the position, rearranged the formation, and prepared to meet the Dai army, but the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the Qin army was not allowed to set up the formation at all, so it was already killed on the spot. The first thing to greet the Qin army was a dense rain of arrows, and because the Qin army did not rearrange the formation, the shield hand could not provide effective protection for the other companions, so he immediately shot down a large area of the Qin army, and screamed for a while, and then the cavalry in the front row raised the spear in his hand, urged the war horse, and smashed into the array of the Qin army.
Although compared with the heavy armored cavalry, the impact of the light armored cavalry is much worse, but it is not something that the infantry can resist, not to mention that now the Qin army is advancing step by step, forcing the Dai army not only to retreat, although it still maintains a relatively intact formation, but there is still a considerable gap between it and the formation in situ, and the Dai army is from the mountain to impact down, condescending, and the momentum is even more amazing, the result is like a sharp awl, and it is deeply rooted into the array of the Qin army. As a result, the soldiers of the Qin army who were not shot down, some were pierced through the body by spears, some were rushed down by war horses, and they were suddenly rushed into chaos and fragmented by the cavalry of the Dai army.
This is not to say that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is not strong, or the fighting spirit is not high, but because the infantry and cavalry are confrontational, and they are inherently the inferior side, which has been confirmed by countless examples in the history of nearly two thousand years, but in this time and space, the plateau has advanced the time of infantry and cavalry confrontation by hundreds of years.
Although he was hit by the strong impact of the cavalry, Xiong Wu, the commander of the Qin army, had not given up at this time, and he still waved his double axe and tried his best to meet the cavalry of the Dai army. And the bear's powerless combat power is indeed very strong, since it is to step down against the war horse, it is not even the slightest downwind, the double axe rises and falls, dancing out of a dark blue light, and with the axe light waved, blood splashed, the war horse neighed, the voice screamed, after a while, the bear powerless has cut down five or six war horses, more than ten cavalry of the army.
However, this time, Xiong was powerless, but there was no way to rely on his super personal combat strength to reverse the situation on the entire battlefield, because the cavalry of the Dai army was divided into two ways, and Xiong was powerless and could only pay for one way at most, and the Qin army on the other side was unable to face the impact of the cavalry. And even on the battlefield where Xiong Wuli is located, Xiong Wuli can only ensure that the area within a few steps of Zisi and his side can withstand the impact of the Dai Army's cavalry, while the Qin army on other fronts, under the fierce impact of the Lu Army, cannot resist at all, either fall under the iron hooves of the war horse, or be forced to retreat and defeat.
"Whew!"
Another big horse's head brought out a splash of blood and flew into the air, while the headless war horse still rushed forward two or three steps according to inertia, only to give up on all fours, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the knight on horseback fell to the ground heavily.
But Xiong Wuli didn't have time to catch his breath, because then two more knights from the army held their spears and stabbed Xiong Wuli at him.
The bear's weak left axe swung outward, setting aside a knight's spear, and the axe of his right hand stabbed out diagonally, hitting the knight's chest on the horse.
And the bear was powerless and didn't have time to check the results of his own battle, so he immediately turned to one side, dodged the spear stabbed by another knight, and the big axe in his right hand slashed from the bottom to the top, only to hear the sound of "rattle", the right front leg of the war horse was cut off, and let out a mournful whine, "coo-dong", and fell forward, and the knight on horseback immediately rolled down from the front of the war horse and fell to the ground, rolling on the ground several times.
Xiong Wuli just relieved his strength, only to hear a scream on the left, turned his head to see, it turned out that there were three Qin soldiers on the left side had been stabbed down by the cavalry of the Dai Army, Xiong Wu was unable to hurry up, the double axe waved, and two cavalry in a row, so as not to stabilize the battle line on the left, but the right side was broken by the Dai army. And before the bear could not afford to rush to the right to reinforce it. I saw that more than ten cavalry of the Dai Army had lined up and rushed towards the Qin army. And Xiong was powerless and could only take the Qin army to block this round of attack of the Dai army first.
But although Xiong was powerless to swing an axe and kill two knights of the Dai Army, the other Qin soldiers around him did not have the ability of him, and they were either killed by the Dai Army or retreated backwards, and the battle line was suddenly rushed across by the Dai Army, and Xiong was powerless in desperation, so he could only retreat with the other Qin troops and reorganize the defensive line.
At this moment, the defense line on the right side of the Qin army had been broken by the Dai army, and at the same time, the Qin army did not wait for the array to be arranged. The second batch of attacks of the Dai army immediately followed, and more than a dozen cavalrymen, holding spears, rode their horses and stabbed towards the Qin army. The horse's hooves rose and fell, and the cold light of the spear flickered, and the momentum was pressing.
Although Xiong was powerless to swing his axe and slash and kill four or five cavalry of the Dai Army in a row, it was difficult to support itself after all, and could not replace the entire defense line to fight, and on the other side of the battle line, the Qin army had been completely rushed by the Dai Army cavalry and was powerless to resist. In addition, the Dai army, which had been defeated and retreated in the middle road, also killed back at this time, and had been killed by the cavalry in a chaotic formation, and the fragmented Qin army could still resist and could only retreat one after another.
At this time, Xiong was powerless and powerless, so he had to fight and retreat, but the Dai army did not let go of the Qin army at all, and the infantry and cavalry pursued together, and the Qin army soon fell into a comprehensive rout.
In fact, from the cavalry attack, the two sides engaged, to the defeat of the Qin army did not take long, and it was only three or four minutes before and after, and the situation took place in a comprehensive reversal.
At the same time that the Dai army turned the tide, the Qing Shuo army and a cavalry army belonging to the new army had also bypassed the Qin army and rushed to the front to intercept the Qin army's reinforcements.
Because the Qin army is the whole army attack, due to the addition of the middle of the army, now the Qin army's right army has a total of more than 12,000 cavalry, seeing the cavalry of the Dai army rushing up to intercept, the cavalry of the Qin army immediately urged the horse forward, to meet the cavalry of the Dai army, and the two sides immediately launched a fierce cavalry battle.
The horses galloped back and forth, and the soldiers on horseback could fight to the death, and the soldiers on both sides fought hard to kill the enemy with spears, sabers, and swords. People constantly got off the horse's back, and soon they were trampled into meat by countless horses' hooves. In addition, the cavalry battle was different from the infantry, galloping back and forth, the formation was very open, blocking the way of the infantry army's advance, and as a result, after the Qin army's infantry arrived at the battlefield, it had to pause, waiting for the two sides to divide the victory.
Although the cavalry of the Qin army was all replaced with new-style horse furniture, after all, the training time was not long, and fighting on horseback was not as skilled as the Dai army. Moreover, the Qin army only changed the horse furniture, but the weapons were not changed, except for the spear, the bronze sword or iron sword was used in close combat, while the Dai army was all replaced with a saber that was conducive to fighting on horseback, and the power was far greater than the bronze sword and iron sword that were not good at chopping. Therefore, the two sides fought, and six or seven out of ten of those who were shot down were soldiers of the Qin army.
However, although the combat effectiveness and weapons of the Qin army are not as good as the Dai army, but the number is almost three times that of the Dai army, so relying on the advantage of numbers, it can still withstand the attack of the Dai army's cavalry.
However, the cavalry of the two sides only fought for five or six minutes, defeated the Xiao cavalry army attacking the Qin army, and handed over the task of chasing the defeated army to the infantry army, but turned their heads and rushed to the battlefield where the cavalry was fighting to reinforce the cavalry to fight.
Xiao cavalry is the beginning of the establishment of the army of the Fan army, can be said to be the time-honored army in the army, almost participated in all the battles since the establishment of the army, combat experience, the use of cavalry tactics is very rich, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as the Fan Yong army, but it is much stronger than the Qingshuo army, not to mention the newly recruited army can be compared, and the number of people is more than the current war of the cavalry. Therefore, after the cavalry joined the battle group, they immediately broke the deadlock on the battlefield.
Originally, the cavalry and combat effectiveness of the Qin army were not as good as the Dai army, and it was only by relying on a large number of people that they could fight a parity with the Dai army, but now the number of the Dai army is not as good as the Qin army, but it is not far behind, and the combat effectiveness is stronger.
