Chapter 594: Attack and Defense (13)

Seeing that the heavily armored cavalry finally broke through the Qin army's defense line and disrupted the Qin army's array, Gao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, this battle was finally won.

Although the loss of the heavy armored cavalry is not small, it makes the plateau quite distressed, after all, the formation of such a cavalry army took a lot of effort on the plateau, not to mention that every soldier and horse are selected from one in a hundred, and it also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the assembly, maintenance, and expenses of a heavy armored cavalry army are at least equivalent to five or six light cavalry.

But it was definitely worth paying such a price, for this was the first battle of the heavily armored cavalry, and a victory must be achieved in any case to boost the morale of the whole army; Second, the heavy armored cavalry is against the warriors of the Kuafu clan, only in the battle with a strong opponent, such a victory is more valuable, and it can also increase the self-confidence and cohesion of the soldiers, as long as there are these two points, then the skeleton of an army will not be scattered, and there is no need to worry about how many troops are lost, because it can be reorganized immediately.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan was about to give an order, leading the others to leave the hill watching the battle, and also rushed to the battlefield to meet Jiang Huanwu. But at this moment, I saw Ling Feng hurrying to the front of the plateau and said, "Lord, the reinforcements of the Qin army are here." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked, and sure enough, he saw that the dust behind him was rising, covering the sky and avoiding the sky, obviously an army was rushing to this side, and the estimated distance was about five or six miles.

And everyone else also looked at each other, not expecting that when the Dai army had disrupted the formation of the Qin army and was about to achieve the most victorious victory, the reinforcements of the Qin army finally arrived on the battlefield, and at this time, all the troops around the plateau were all sent out, and in addition to the thirty-six cavalry guards of the rapid wind, there were only a small number of guards and some scouts, and the total number was less than three hundred, of course, it was impossible to stop the reinforcements of the Qin army.

But retreating like this, everyone is a little unwilling, because this battle is not easy to fight to this point, by which it defeated an opponent like the warrior of the Kuafu clan, and it is indeed not easy to win a comprehensive victory, if you retreat like this, then all the achievements made before will be wasted, so everyone also looked at the plateau, hoping that he can come up with a way, as long as the Qin army is blocked for a while, it is enough, I believe that with the ability of the plateau, it is able to come up with a way, even if it is a risk, It's worth it, too.

At this time, Gao Yuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Send a signal and withdraw the troops." ”

In fact, there are indeed several ways to stop the Qin army on the plateau, although they are not completely sure, but they can also try, and with the flexible and fast characteristics of the cavalry, even if they can't succeed, they can retreat with their whole body.

However, although this battle is very critical, but looking at the entire war situation, it is just a local war, and it is not necessary for the Dai army to win, as long as it can defeat the attack of the Qin army, it is enough, after all, the plateau still has the secret trick of raiding Jijing in his hands.

Moreover, in this battle, the chariots of the Qin army and the warriors of the Kuafu clan were all frustrated one after another, and the psychological advantages after winning the last battle were basically gone. Therefore, at this time, there is no need to take the risk to stop the reinforcements of the Qin army, retreat now, you can save your strength, and wait for the results of the Jijing line.

―――――――― the dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― as the generation troops withdrew from the battlefield one after another, Han Teng and others found that it was their own reinforcements that arrived.

Because at this time, the Dai army occupied a great advantage on the two battlefields before and after, so it was very easy to retreat, and the Dai army led by Jiang Huanwu and Zhao Xuan could retreat to the Dai army's camp with just a turn; And the men and horses led by the plateau are in the rear of the Qin army, although it is more troublesome, but all of them are cavalry, and they move extremely fast, even the heavy armored cavalry has long been ready to replace the war horses, and the result is naturally like the wind, after the plateau ordered, in the blink of an eye, the representative army was withdrawn from the battlefield cleanly, and the Qin army opened a considerable distance.

At this time, Han Teng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, it can be said that the reinforcements came at a really high time, because the formation of the Qin army has been disrupted by the Dai army, if the reinforcements are a step late, or the Dai army can divide an army and stop the reinforcements for a while, then the Qin army will be defeated on the whole line, and now although the Qin army was disrupted by the Dai army, because the Dai army immediately retreated, the loss of the Qin army was not large.

However, after joining up with the reinforcements, Han Teng, Meng Wu, Meng Tian and others immediately gathered the scattered army, and retreated more than two miles from the battlefield, and then relined the formation.

At this time, Han Teng didn't care about arguing with Meng Wu and Meng Tian anymore, and said: "Look at what we should do now, the reinforcements have come, and we have reorganized the queue, whether to attack the Dai army again, or to collect the troops and return to the camp." ”

Meng Tian said: "General, although our reinforcements have arrived, the morale of the whole army has been discharged, especially the Dai army has made full preparations for our chariots and giant army, even if it attacks the Dai army again, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand, so the last general suggests that we will stop here today, collect our troops and return to the camp, and seriously summarize the gains and losses of this battle, and then make a decision." ”

In fact, Han Teng didn't want to fight anymore at this time, just now, he had already heard Xiong's inability to report, and only then did he know that the defeat of the rear formation of Lu Dao really couldn't blame Meng Wu and Meng Tian's father and son, even the warriors of the Kua Father clan were defeated by the Dai army, so the defeat was reasonable.

However, the warriors of the Kuafu clan were actually defeated by the cavalry of the Dai Army, which also shocked Han Teng, because Han Teng, the cavalry of the Dai Army, had seen it, how could he defeat the warriors of the Kuafu clan? Although Xiong was unable to say that this cavalry army was different, it was still difficult to understand, but he could not say in a few words the reasons for the defeat of the Chu Kua father clan and the battle process, and he did not have time to elaborate on the battlefield, so Han Teng also thought that he should collect his troops immediately, go back and check the losses, and at the same time, he really had to seriously summarize it.

Seeing Meng Tian's suggestion, Han Teng also nodded, and immediately ordered to send people to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses of the wounded soldiers and soldiers killed in battle, while the other armies retreated in turn, returned to the Jingcheng camp, and sent people to notify the troops on the left and right to retreat.

On the other side, Gao Yuan also led the cavalry, bypassed the Qin army, and Jiang Huanwu and others converged, and everyone retreated to the defense line in front of the camp, because they didn't know whether the Qin army would attack again, so everyone didn't dare to be careless, and also arranged the layout in the defense line, reorganized the formation, in case the Qin army attacked, and at the same time the plateau also ordered the remaining heavy armored cavalry to immediately form a team, if the Qin army really wants to fight again, then the heavy armored cavalry will naturally have a place to play.

Seeing that the Qin army sent people to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses of the wounded soldiers and soldiers killed in battle, Gao Yuan and Jiang Huanwu also knew that the Qin army did not want to fight anymore, so they also sent people to the battlefield to clean up the corpses and wounded soldiers of the Dai army.

Hundreds of soldiers on both sides cleaned up the battlefield, and in order to show that they were not here to fight, they did not bring weapons, but because the battle was carried out in front of the large camp of the Dai army, the camp of the Qin army was far away, and the Qin army was obviously at a disadvantage in this battle, so the Qin army did not dare to stay near the battlefield for a long time, but just collected the bodies of the wounded soldiers and soldiers killed in the battle, and hurriedly evacuated. And some weapons, flags, and chariots, including some scattered unmanned war horses, were abandoned.

However, the Qin army ignored it, which did not mean that the army did not want to, and after collecting the corpses of the wounded soldiers and soldiers killed in battle, the army continued to collect weapons, flags, chariots, and horses on the battlefield as the victorious goods of this battle.

After all, this was a big battle of more than 100,000 people, infantry, cavalry, and chariots were all killed in battle, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed on both sides, so there were many weapons, flags, chariots, and horses left on the battlefield. And the plateau is naturally most interested in the chariots of the Qin army.

In this battle, the Qin army dispatched more than 600 chariots, but the most dragged back, less than 200 vehicles, the vast majority of those left on the battlefield were damaged and burned, including two Linchong Lu buses, but there were also more than 100 chariots The damage was not large, some were only damaged by the wheels, so they could not be towed away, but the other parts were basically intact. And Gao Yuan also ordered that all the chariots that were basically intact and not much damaged should be put away, and dragged back for the craftsmen to study slowly and make some of them, after all, the power of the chariot is still very considerable, and if it can be used well, it is not difficult to become a powerful force.

And in this chariot was damaged two Linchong Lu bus, one of them was basically completely burned, at this time only a few skeletons remained, and the other is quite special, the upper three floors are almost burned, but the bottom two layers are still largely intact, and they were also dragged back, and Gao Yuan and other people also stepped on this half-destroyed Linchong Lu bus, carefully studying its structure.

The power system of the Linchong Lv bus is located on the first floor, so the first floor is also the place with the highest technical content, and so on the Linchong Lv bus, the plateau only found that the power of the original Linchong Lv bus is composed of six winding discs, each winding is cross-shaped, about one zhang eight feet long, can be pushed by six people together, a winding can be pushed by twelve people, these windings are in a group of two, the vertical shaft in the middle of the winding plate goes straight to the bottom of the car, when the winding disc is rotated, the wheel is driven to roll by a plurality of different gears. And the entire Linchong Lu bus can be pushed around the disk by up to seventy-two people to generate power, and it is no wonder that it can drive such a chariot similar to a small city. The plateau also found more than a dozen soldiers, pushed and turned the winch, and sure enough, drove the Linchong Lu bus to drive.

Then Gao Yuan got off the car and went to the bottom of the car to take a look, only to see that at the bottom of the Linchong Lu bus, there are a total of forty or fifty gears of different sizes, horizontal and vertical staggered, toothed interfaces, dazzling to see, but the design is exquisite and complex, and it is also breathtaking.

Gao Yuan was also amazed, and he could not imagine that in the Warring States era, the Chinese could design such a large and ingenious machine.
