After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the sky was already bright at this time, and every place on the battlefield could be seen very clearly, and Li Mu was watching the battle on the side under the protection of more than 100 cavalry. However, at this time, the battlefield was continuously more than ten miles away, so it was impossible to fully see the whole picture of the battlefield. And Li Mu's focus was to observe the combat effectiveness of the new cavalry.

After watching several new cavalry troops break through the resistance queue of the Qin army in a row, Li Mu also nodded again and again, and said to Zhao Xuan beside him: "Zhao Xuan, how do you think the combat effectiveness of this new cavalry army?" ”

Zhao Xuan said: "It's really strong, I didn't expect that just a few small changes to the horse furniture can multiply the combat effectiveness, if you can establish a cavalry army of 10,000 people, I'm afraid you will be able to dominate the world and be invincible." It seems that the mode of war in the future may have changed greatly. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "The change of the harness is only one aspect, Guan Jian is the tactic used by this cavalry army, which is completely different from the infantry, chariot and cavalry tactics we know in the past, to be honest, I have never thought of such tactics." However, it is undeniable that the use of the cavalry in this way is indeed to give full play to the strength of the cavalry and achieve the best results, perhaps this is the real strength of the cavalry. Of course, the modification of the harness is also very important, it is the basis of the cavalry, and without the modification of the harness, the cavalry will not be able to fully implement these tactics. But you are right about this, in the future war, there will indeed be big changes, and the cavalry will become the main force on the battlefield. ”

Zhao Xuan said: "But I still don't understand, how Gao Yuan understands these tactics, if these tactics are really his imagination out of thin air, then his intelligence is too amazing." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "The plateau can't be viewed with common sense, no matter what, we can win this battle, the plateau does play a great role, if there is no such cavalry army trained by him, if we want to win, I'm afraid it will not be so easy." And even if it wins, the losses will not be less, remember the fat battle three years ago? Although we won that battle, our own casualties were also very large, and the losses in this battle were so small. ”

Zhao Xuan also nodded and said, "The general is right, with the plateau and such a cavalry army, it will be more advantageous for the general to lead the army to resist Qin's attack in the future." ”

Li Mu's face showed a hint of gloom, but at this moment, a soldier rushed to Li Mu's horse and said, "Report to the general, General Yuan has led the men and horses to arrive." ”

Li Mu listened, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, although the current battlefield Zhao army has occupied an absolute advantage, but now the Zhao army's strength is too small after all, can only pursue the Qin army, but can not encircle and annihilate the Qin army, in this way, although the Zhao army can also defeat the Qin army, but the Qin army's casualties are limited, can not cause heavy casualties to the Qin army, so after the Qin army retreats, the defeated army will be regrouped, can be in a short period of time, can quickly recover the combat effectiveness, and then attack the Zhao state.

And now Yuan Xuan led the infantry to arrive, although there are only 30,000 people, but it is much better than the current thousands of cavalry troops, although it is impossible to encircle and annihilate the Qin army, but the lethality of the Qin army can also be greatly improved. Therefore, Li Mu also immediately ordered Yuan Xuan to immediately lead the army to attack, expand the results of the battle, and annihilate as much of the Qin army's living force as possible.

At this time, on the battlefield, most of the resistance of the Qin army was originally defeated by the Zhao army, so after the Zhao army led by Yuan Xuan joined the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was immediately changed, the Zhao army was not only chasing and killing the Qin army, but using the method of division and encirclement, gradually encircling and annihilating the Qin army, and the casualties of the Qin army immediately increased sharply, and a considerable part of the Qin army threw away its weapons and surrendered to the Zhao army after being surrounded.

However, at this time, beside Huan Qi, the main general of the Qin army, nearly 5,000 soldiers and dozens of chariots had gathered, and they were fighting and retreating, wanting to evacuate from the battlefield.

It turned out that Huan Qi's guards were all elite soldiers carefully selected by Huan Qi, both in body and combat effectiveness, they were far stronger than other Qin troops, and there were dozens of chariots, so after the Zhao army launched an attack on the Qin army, Huan Qi also commanded his own guards, forming a defensive formation, relying on chariot cover, resisting the attack of the Zhao army, although Huan Qi's guards were only more than 1,000 people, but they were always able to maintain a complete defensive formation, so that the Zhao army's attack had no chance to take advantage of.

Originally, if Huan Qi wanted to escape from the battlefield at this time, he could flee very easily, but Huan Qi, as the chief general of the whole army, was of course unwilling to flee from the battlefield like this, so he commanded the army on the one hand, resisted the attack of the Zhao army, and defeated the army in Julong on the other. When the defeated Qin army saw that its main general was still on the battlefield, they also felt that they had a little backbone in their hearts, and of course they all tried their best to gather to Huan Qi, but at this time, by Huan Qi's side, five or six thousand Qin soldiers and sixty or seventy chariots had been gathered. And Huan Qi also took this Qin army with him, and he fought and retreated, wanting to evacuate from the battlefield.

But in this way, such a Qin army is also extremely conspicuous on the battlefield, which naturally attracts the Zhao army to besiege one after another, so around this Qin army, three or four thousand Zhao troops are also gathered to attack. And at this moment, Yuan Xuan led the Zhao army's backup army to the battlefield. Huan Qi also knew that if he didn't retreat from the battlefield, he might not be able to leave.

It's just that the Qin army is of course easy to defend, but if you want to evacuate from the battlefield, it is difficult, not to mention that there are more and more Zhao troops besieging the Qin army now, and although the Qin army has more than 5,000 troops, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is far inferior to Huan Qi's guards, most of them are frightened birds, and they have no intention of fighting at all. They gathered here just out of a dependent, always feeling that with the main general, there was always some bottom in their hearts. Once they want to fight to the death, they can't count on it.

Although the number of Qin troops is now larger, the strength has not been improved accordingly, on the contrary, because the soldiers gathered are mostly infantry, and there are few chariots and cavalry, it has also slowed down the speed of the Qin army. Therefore, although the Qin army began to retreat, it was never able to retreat from the battlefield at full speed.

However, in this way, this Qin army is also more conspicuous on the battlefield, and there is a big banner of Huan Qi on the chariot, at this time Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong are leading two hundred teams to rush and kill on the battlefield, so they also found this Qin army, and found that there is actually the main general of the Qin army, so the two immediately led the Zhao army to rush over and joined the battle to encircle and suppress this Qin army.

This is also the only Qin army on the battlefield that can still maintain a certain scale of combat effectiveness and resist in an organized manner. But at this time, around the Qin army, more than 2,000 Zhao cavalry troops and nearly 2,000 infantry had been gathered. The two sides are chasing after you, and there is a stalemate for a while. But after Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong led the army to join, the situation of the Zhao army was immediately greatly changed.

First, the two of them each led an army of 100 cavalry, slashed into the array of the Qin army in a diagonal manner, and then quickly struck out from the other side. Originally, the Qin army was able to maintain a whole, but after the Zhao army repeatedly rushed and killed two or three times, the Qin army was immediately rushed by the Zhao army and was divided into five or six large pieces. It is no longer possible to fight against Zhao Jun as a whole.

At this time, Huan Qi also saw this process very clearly on the chariot, and couldn't help but be surprised, although he had also heard that the cavalry of the Zhao army somehow became very powerful, and it was very strong in the previous battles, but Huan Qi did not see it with his own eyes after all, and thought that the defeated army deliberately exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army. But now seeing that there are just two cavalry troops of more than 100 people, with excellent riding skills and brave killing methods, they can actually rush back and forth in the array of the Qin army, and in a short time, the Qin army will be scattered in all directions, and the Qin army will not be able to resist it at all. Although it is said that the Qin army has no intention of fighting at this time, the impact and combat effectiveness of the Zhao army's cavalry army should not be underestimated. And it also far surpassed the cavalry of the Qin army.

Although Zhao is the first country among the countries to form a large-scale cavalry army, and it is also the first country to use cavalry on a large scale, the scale of the cavalry of the Qin army is not much worse than that of Zhao, and Huan Qi has also fought with the cavalry of the Zhao army many times in the past, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on both sides is basically the same. Although Zhao's national strength is far weaker than Qin's, with a peerless general like Li Mu in charge, and now with such a cavalry army with super combat effectiveness, it will be very difficult for Qin to defeat Zhao.

But now is not the time to think about these things, of course Huan Qi knows that there is nothing he can do at this time, so he immediately ordered that regardless of the other soldiers, all the chariots should move forward at full speed and flee the battlefield as much as possible, otherwise even he would not be spared.

The ranks of the Qin army were disrupted by the Zhao army, and it was not all good, at least the chariots of the Qin army were liberated, and they could gallop at full speed without worrying about other Qin soldiers. Therefore, the chariot of the Qin army also accelerated suddenly, quickly detached from the battlefield, and fled into the wilderness.

But Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong immediately discovered that the chariot of the Qin army had fled from the battlefield, and the two immediately led the cavalry and chased after them.

At this time, there were about thirty or forty chariots that fled with Huan Qi, plus each chariot was also equipped with three armor soldiers, Huan Qi's heart was also a little calm, thinking that he would definitely be able to escape the battlefield safely.

But at this moment, I saw that the cavalry of the Zhao army was divided into two wings and chased after the Qin army, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. And seeing that Zhao Jun's cavalry was running at full speed, Huan Qi couldn't help but be shocked.

Although the weight of a chariot and a soldier is not light, each chariot has four horses, so the chariot is extremely fast if it is running at full speed, and the speed of the chariot is not lower than that of the cavalry for a short time. The cavalry of this era was backward due to the harness, and only very few soldiers with the most skilled horsemen could rush their horses at full speed. And Zhao Jun's two hundred horsemen, all of them were able to run quickly, and none of the knights fell off their horses, and Huan Qi's heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
