Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 54 Spear and Shield

The smoke and dust splashed by the horseshoe stretched northward like a yellow dragon.Under the leadership of Sima Chang, the cavalry of the Qin Army galloped all the way north.

After all, this plan was proposed by him, Sima Chang. If there is any mistake, he will die.

"Stop..." Sima Chang, who was running at the head of the horse, suddenly ordered the cavalry to stop.Due to the sudden stop, the cavalry behind could not rein in their horses in time, which also caused some confusion.

At the end of the line of sight, a flag of Zhao Jun towered high, and behind the flag were densely packed groups of Zhao Jun, blocking Sima Chang's only way back to help.Judging from Sima Chang's experience in commanding troops, there are at least [-] to [-] people.

There are only [-] troops left in the north of the Zhao army. Li Mu's [-] cavalry are not there, and they must have gone to attack the camp. The rest of the troops are probably here to prevent him from returning to help.

The moment he saw Zhao Jun, Sima Chang felt as if the whole sky had collapsed in his heart, and Li Mu was really willing to fight in order to complete his merits.

With 3 infantry to block his [-] cavalry, after World War I, the [-] people don't know how many will be left.

If Sima Chang had a choice, he would rather not have military merit.Because as long as he is dragged here, the general Wang Jian in the camp will be in danger.

Once Wang Jian died, it can basically be judged that the Qin army's large-scale attack returned without success again, and it was all because of him, Sima Chang.

The plan for now is to get rid of Zhao Jun's obstruction as soon as possible and return to the army for rescue.It may be said that there is still a chance of saving Wang Jian, as long as Wang Jian survives this battle, there is still hope.

Thinking of this, Sima Shang ordered loudly: "The whole army obeys the order. This battle must not be entangled with the Zhao army. After breaking through the Zhao army's defense line, return to the reinforcement camp as soon as possible. The great Qin is mighty, and the iron cavalry is invincible. Sudden!"

"Great Qin is mighty, iron cavalry is invincible"

After yelling, Sima Chang took the lead and rushed towards Zhao Jun's wall.

The [-] cavalry of the Qin army pierced towards the Zhao army under the leadership of Sima Chang like a black torrent.

On the other hand, Zhao Jun is obviously aware of the importance of this battle, and success or failure is related to the outcome of the entire war.

They were densely crowded together, with a row of shield soldiers at the front, and rows of long-spear soldiers waiting in formation behind.There is no formation at all, and the purpose is very simple. Before getting the exact news, even if you use your flesh and blood to resist the horses, you will delay the Qin army's return to aid.

Seen from a high altitude, it looks like the entanglement between spears and shields. The cavalry of the Qin army is like an indestructible and peerless sword, hitting heavily on the thick shield of the Zhao army that is waiting for it.

For a while, flesh and blood flew across the face. Facing the cavalry's puncture, Zhao Jun's infantry didn't dodge at all, and just pushed forward abruptly, and the Qin Army's cavalry didn't have time to exert their mobility like usual when cavalry faced infantry. The huge advantages of the two directly collided together.

The ones in front fell down, and the ones in the back continued to make up. One by one, the soldiers died on their horses, and the horses brought the knights on their backs to die of hatred.

The place where the two armies met was quickly piled up like a continuous mound of corpses.The blood of the soldiers of the two armies gathered in one place and flowed out like a stream.

The front line is constantly advancing, and every step of the Qin army has paid great casualties.Even if the casualties of the Zhao army were far greater than those of the Qin army, such a loss made Sima Chang a little unacceptable.

But now that the arrow is on the string and has to be launched, there is no choice but to rush over.The long sword was already full of gaps left by the collision of weapons. He tried his best to stab a Zhao soldier who rushed over to him. Sima Chang looked up and saw that not far away, the Zhao army was still standing firmly in front of them. .

"kill……"

It can be said that the two most elite armies at that time were entangled together in a very strange form, regardless of casualties.For the armies of other vassal states, with such casualties, I am afraid that they are already afraid to move forward.

The intersection of the two armies was like a human meat grinder, and those who rushed past lay on the ground after a while, and some of their bones were even incomplete.And Li Mu's Zhao Jun and Qin Jun soldiers still collided with each other wave after wave even though they knew that one step forward would mean death.

Most of Zhao's army was ruled by Li Mu for many years, and he loved the soldiers so much that the soldiers were willing to die for Li Mu.And Qin Jun is afraid that a large part of it is afraid of the harshness of Qin Law.

And the cruelty on this side is still somewhat insufficient compared with the situation in the Qin army's camp.

The offense and defense were reversed, the most elite cavalry unit under Li Mu's command was attacking, and the most elite cavalry troops under Li Mu's command were defending.When the two armies fought, they were even more fearless. Some soldiers of the Qin army fell down and hugged the horseshoes of the cavalry of the Zhao army when they were dying.

Some soldiers of the Qin and Zhao armies fell to the ground and were still wrestling together. After their arms were disabled, even their teeth became sharp weapons for attack.

The entire camp was ablaze and blood flowed like rivers.

The Qin army has retreated to the last line of defense, and the original 5000 troops have only more than a thousand people left.On the opposite side, Li Mu's cavalry army also left more than 3000 corpses on this battlefield.

After nearly two hours of uninterrupted warfare, not only Wang Jian's defensive side had reached its limit, but even Li Mu's cavalry troops, who were constantly attacking, were somewhat exhausted.

But seeing that victory was just around the corner, and Wang Jian's central army camp was just ahead, as long as the last camp wall in front of him was breached, Wang Jian would be captured and killed in front of him. Generally speaking, the morale of the Zhao army was quite strong.

However, the face of the Qin army in the trench was not very good. It stands to reason that Sima Chang's reinforcements should have arrived long ago.But until now there is no news, needless to say, there must be some accident on the road.

Although it is said that the mourning army will win, the remaining soldiers of the Qin army are also struggling to resist in order to survive, but this also depends on the balance of strength between the two sides.

The soldiers of the Qin army kept falling from the camp wall, and the last camp wall seemed a little crumbling.

Veteran Wang Jian was standing in front of the camp wall with his sword leaning on his body covered in blood. Of course, the blood belonged to Zhao Jun.

"This old man has never thought of becoming the son of Li Mu in his whole life!" Wang Jian sighed secretly.In such a form, Qin Jun would definitely not be able to hold on for half an hour.

When Wang Jian was feeling emotional, suddenly there was another rush of hoofbeats coming from far and near, and the sound sounded like thousands of troops galloping.

However, Li Mu's cavalry army had already entered the camp and could not use it, so they definitely did not have such momentum.

Wang Jian's originally dim eyes suddenly brightened when he heard that reinforcements had arrived.The soldiers of the Qin army who were struggling to hold on heard the sound of horseshoes, and their thoughts were the same as Wang Jian's. The first thing they thought was that Sima Chang's reinforcements had arrived.

For a moment, as if he was full of strength again, he blocked Zhao Jun's attack.

"General, our army was blocked by the Qin army again!" A general of the Zhao army wiped the blood from his face and rushed over to report to Li Mu. According to Li Mu's order, they should attack the Qin army's camp without stopping. .

However, according to the current situation, it will take half an hour to break through the Qin army's camp, and the cavalry behind the sound of horseshoes will arrive soon.At that time, it will be Zhao Jun who will be making dumplings.

Li Mu's eyes were as if they were about to burst into flames. He really couldn't figure out where the reinforcements came from. Even if the Zhao army he sent to stop him was a scarecrow, with 3 people piled up together, the Qin army's reinforcements would not be so good. breakthrough.

Now it's really impossible to steal a chicken and lose a lot of rice, and it's only a matter of killing Wang Jian.It seems that the loss is comparable to that of the Qin army, but what the Qin army lost was infantry, what he himself lost was elite cavalry, and the infantry sent to stop the Qin cavalry may have suffered even more losses.

After this battle, with the remaining strength of the Zhao army, I am afraid that it will never be possible to fight the Qin army except for defending the city.

Although he was desperate, he still ordered. "Stop the attack, the whole army retreats."
