Chapter 188 The sharpest blade and the strongest shield, killing people and killing people!
One defense, one offense!
Faced with unprecedented ordnance, faced with tactics never seen before, faced with strategic goals never considered, Pang Nuan achieved the limit of what he could do!
The west gate of Xiuyu City suddenly opened.
The heavily armored war horse jumped out of the flames of the Immolation City!
Chen Mao held the horse in his hand and roared angrily: "Soldiers, charge to the battle!"
"The survival of Xiuyu City rests on our shoulders."
"Charge!"
Qing She clenched her spear and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, don't let Wei Junpaoze see the joke."
"Charge with me!"
Fifty bronze chariots came out of Xiuyu City.
The most elite infantrymen all followed the chariot and served as infantrymen accompanying the chariot.
Pang Nuan stabbed out the sharpest blade of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces with a decisive gesture!
“Kill!”
The blood stained Zheng robe, Chen Mao personally rushed to the front to kill.
With the help of the impact of the chariot, Chen Mao's troops smashed the three layers of infantry in the Qin army's front line head-on.
Qingshe seamlessly connected, using infantry to consolidate the results achieved by Chen Mao's troops, and even using infantry to disrupt the Qin army's formation.
Chen Mao shouted: "Turn around!"
The chariot retreated, regained its horse speed, and then charged back again.
Qingshe shouted: "Points!"
Zhao Wei's infantry immediately loosened their formation and opened several passages.
Passing through the gap created by the infantry, the chariot crashed into the Qin army's formation for the second time.
"Happy!" He drove his chariot to kill four Qin soldiers, and after stabbing two Qin soldiers to death with his own hand, Chen Mao laughed loudly: "Retreat!"
Battle The car retreated again, but Chen Mao saw a Qin army thrust diagonally towards the rear of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces.
Chen Mao looked around vigilantly and saw that the Qin army that was originally blocking the front of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces had already quietly withdrawn its middle-level troops, spreading its wings like an eagle to embrace the Zhao and Wei coalition forces!
Chen Mao shouted in shock: "General Qing, the Qin army intends to encircle!"
Qing She's face was solemn: "I saw it."
In front of Qing She, the Qin army The remnants of the formation have unabashedly withdrawn to the left and right sides, leaving a spacious avenue for the Zhao and Wei coalition forces.
At the end of the avenue is the goal of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces in this battle-ten counterweight trebuchets.
But in front of the ten counterweighted trebuchets, the Qin Army's banner was flying!
Under the banner, Ying Chengyu, wearing a helmet and carrying armor, stood on horseback.
In front of Ying Chengyu, 20,000 of Ying Chengyu's soldiers were already waiting!
Only the most elite soldiers can become the general's personal soldiers.
Lying in front of Ying Chengyu are the elites selected from ten of the 200,000 Qin troops!
Pang Nuan stabbed out the sharpest blade in his hand, and Ying Chengyu also lifted out the strongest giant shield in his hand. Using the shield as the bottom of his pocket, he arranged a pocket to wait for the Zhao and Wei coalition forces. Get in!
Chen Mao asked with an ugly face: "General Qing, the Qin army has been arrayed here, what should we do?"
What should we do?
What else!
Before leaving the city, Qingshe knew that they would inevitably encounter the fiercest resistance.
But they still left the city because they had no choice!
Wiping off the blood on the gun barrel with his lower clothes, Qingshe roared fiercely: "Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"Destroying the Qin army's catapult will be considered a great achievement by everyone."
< br>"Whoever personally kills the chief general of the Qin army will be rewarded heavily by the king!"
The State of Zhao also has a system of 'receiving titles based on meritorious service', but compared with Qin's military merit-based nobility system, Zhao's 'planning' system The awarding of meritorious services is in chaos, and there is no clear standard for how to award rewards. It all depends on the monarch's will.
So Qingshe did not dare to shout out the specific reward, so he could only feed the soldiers a piece of big cake.
Fortunately, Qingshe was quite prestigious in the hearts of the soldiers. After giving the order, the Zhao army roared: "Kill General Qin!"
Seeing that Qingshe's troops had already launched a charge, Chen Mao gritted his teeth. , also turned around and shouted angrily: "How can we, the brave warriors of the Wei Dynasty, be behind the Zhao army?"
"Wei Dynasty! Won the victory!"
The Wei army also shouted in unison: "The Wei army will be victorious!" Wei Wansheng! "
The chariot accelerated, passed the infantry, and rushed towards the Qin army!
Ying Chengyu extended his thumb straight out of his right arm, closed his left eye tightly and opened his right eye, and estimated the distance between the two armies based on the size ratio of his thumb to the size of the enemy soldiers in his sight.
One hundred feet!
Fifty feet!
The heavy bronze chariot is getting closer and closer to the Qin army's formation like a high-speed tank.
But the soldiers of the Qin army remained motionless, just clenched their spears in their hands!
When the Zhao and Wei chariots rushed twenty feet in front of the Qin army's formation, Ying Chengyu sternly shouted: "Pick up the rope!"
The Qin army standing on both sides of the pocket formation leaned over and picked up a rope soaked in tung oil from the ground. , a hemp rope as thick as his arm, he ran to both sides with all his strength.
The hemp rope then tightened across the battlefield, and the rope buried under the snow also rose.
Chen Mao's pupils shrank suddenly and he roared: "Stop!"
Unfortunately, the high-speed horse was not easy to stop.
Chen Mao's order had just been issued, and the four horses pulling the first chariot had already hit the hemp rope head-on.
With just a stagger, the war horse fell to the ground, and the white bone stubble of the horse's legs was exposed!
Then, the second and third...
"Xu~~~"
The mournful cry of the war horses echoed across the battlefield, and more than thirty tanks Either over or over. Meng Wu couldn't help but sigh: "I will admire the general's ingenuity in using the horse trip rope in such a battle situation!"
The tripping horse rope has been around for a long time, but it mostly appears in small and medium-sized battles.
In a battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides, the battlefield is generally extremely wide. Both the enemy and our armies may launch attacks from any direction. It is difficult for a trip rope that is only ten to dozens of feet long to be effective. .
However, in this battle, Ying Chengyu used the trip horse rope to give the Zhao and Wei coalition a head-on blow!
Ying Chengxuan said quietly: "When our army's counterweight catapult shows its power, General Pang must deal with it."
"I thought that General Pang would definitely use his main force to attack our trebuchets, so we just placed a snagging rope here."
In terms of the battle situation, the biggest role of the counterweight trebuchets is to bombard the enemy. city wall.
But for the generals of both sides, the counterweighted catapult is equivalent to the attacker stuffing a time bomb into the defender's arms.
The time when the catapult collapsed the city wall was the time when this bomb exploded.
No matter what general the defender is and what tactics he adopts, as long as he wants to delay it longer than the time for the bomb to explode, he must attack the catapult!
And once the defender's core offensive target is grasped, the attacker can use it to contain, seduce and even annihilate the enemy.
Although the battlefield is large, there is only one way Zhao Jun can take!
Ying Chengyu looked at the old man standing at the top of the city with some regret: "But I never thought that General Pang would really do this!"
The corners of Meng Wu's mouth twitched slightly.
The plan is done, why are you not only not surprised, but also a little disappointed?
Do you have to have Pang Nuan beat you to make you happy?
Shaking his head and throwing away the complicated emotions, Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "Push forward the soldiers!"
"Jiang Ming's troops and Xiao Tu's troops encircle and destroy the enemy! ”
Chen Mao climbed out of the chariot with difficulty and saw the Qin army marching forward, and the Rulin spear was already thrusting down at the chariot soldiers!
Chen Mao immediately ordered: "The chariots that can still move should retreat immediately and wait for the infantry to join together!"
"Paoze who can still run immediately retreats, looks for a chariot to board and evacuate!"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Mao had already retreated.
Qing She hurriedly welcomed Chen Mao back and asked anxiously: "Brother Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Mao shook his head: "I am okay, but more than half of my troops were lost in the battle. "
Qingshe smiled: "No problem."
Holding his spear tightly, Qingshe roared: "Soldiers, follow me and charge to kill!"
One horse led the way, Qingshe ran at the front.
One shot provoked the Qin army's spear and rescued a Wei army. Qingshe once again shook the tip of the spear like a pear blossom, knocked away the spears, and immediately rushed forward to get closer to Qin. At an army's distance, the spear in his hand stabbed at the head!
Seeing the bravery of the generals, the morale of the infantry was greatly boosted, and they all roared: "Kill!"
The front line of the Qin army turned into a flesh and blood millstone, constantly wearing away the flesh and blood of the elites of the two armies.
Zhao Jun's fighting will was beyond Ying Chengyu's expectation. Ying Chengyu immediately ordered: "The soldiers retreat slowly!"
Under Ying Chengyu's command, the soldiers no longer fought hard with Zhao Jun. Fight hard, but retreat slowly.
For a time, the number of casualties of the Qin army dropped sharply, but the attack speed of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces also increased greatly.
Two quarters of an hour later, the tip of a catapult finally appeared in Qingshe's eyes.
Qingshe shouted in surprise: "Soldiers, the trebuchet is in front, victory is in front of you, charge and kill!"
The morale of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces was even higher, and the speed of their attack was boosted a bit.
Soon, the distance between the Zhao and Wei coalition forces and the trebuchet was only thirty feet, and a short spear could be thrown onto the trebuchet with a hard throw.
However, Ying Chengyu gave the order in a slow voice: "Order the baggage and heavy camp! Push the cart back, speed up the retreat, and retreat until you reach the rear!"
Wang Pan excitedly promised: "Wei!"
At the command, a thousand corvees from the supply camp rushed towards the catapults, removed the stones stuck under the wheels of the six catapults, then pushed up the catapults and ran away!
Looking at the catapult going away, the people in Qingshe were dumbfounded: "The catapult of Qin and Qin's army has longer legs?"
"How can it run?"
"It Why are you running! ”
It is unreasonable for the Qin army’s trebuchet to throw flying stones weighing more than a hundred kilograms.
Why can the Qin army's trebuchets still run, and they run so fast! ! !
If you run away, then what's the point of us paying so many casualties to fight here!
Qingshe was confused!
Qingshe self-doubts!
Celebrating separation of walls!
The entire Zhao army was like salted fish that had lost their dreams and was at a loss.
Chen Mao quickly ordered: "Continue to charge! The Qin army still has four trebuchets in place, and those four trebuchets are the most threatening trebuchets!"
Ying Chengyu then ordered: "Continue. Relax your defenses and let them burn!”
With Ying Chengyu’s deliberate indulgence, the Zhao and Wei coalition burned four wheelless trebuchets with the tung oil they carried with them, and also burned their only clear weapon. Short term goals.
Four trebuchets have been destroyed, but six more are gone.
Should they pursue or retreat?
Did they achieve their strategic goals after paying such huge casualties?
Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "Beat the war drum!"
"The soldiers came forward and cooperated with the front army to suppress this army in the military formation!"
Killing an enemy who bravely fights requires too many casualties.
But if you kill your heart first and then kill people, and then kill your heart after killing people, the remaining enemies will be much easier to kill!
The corners of Ying Chengyu's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked towards the head of Xiuyu City: "Old General, can your heart still bear it?"
