Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 1142: The Iron Horse Glacier Falls into a Drea

There were flowing arrows and Donghu people who had accidentally bumped into them everywhere, but Yucheng, who led the heavy cavalry, paid no attention to these innocuous harassment.

The cavalry battle is unstable, and the commander does not have the preferential treatment of the commander of the infantry battalion. They must command the nearest position in the front row, personally participate in the impact, and confront the enemy, so there are often casualties.

However, Yucheng was not afraid, he was convinced that the heavy armor on his body was as reliable as his mount. While urging the horse to run, he observed his formation from left to right. The flag bearer following Youcheng was holding the flag steadily. A thousand heavy cavalrymen were jogging. The results of years of hard training were reflected in the formation. Confusion due to environmental impacts.

Youcheng is very clear about the role of heavy cavalry in the battle, and the overall cost-effectiveness. Heavy cavalry is not even as good as light cavalry. If individual soldiers on the grasslands chase, heavy cavalry will be left far behind by light cavalry. However, under certain circumstances, the assault ability of the heavy cavalry is unmatched by the light cavalry, especially with stirrups and high bridge saddles.

In terms of tactics, the heavy cavalry is far from being as simple as closing his eyes and rushing. Zhao Jun is generally like this: the light cavalry will use the formation to involve the enemy, and the heavy cavalry group hidden in the rear should find the weak position of the opponent and conduct a concentrated attack. In the narrow area surrounded by the light cavalry, the maximum power of the cavalry attack , and then cause the entire enemy formation to collapse!

Youcheng's eyes were as sharp as an eagle on the grassland, and he quickly discovered the most chaotic location of the Donghu people.

Like a cloud and flowing water, he pulled the ring-headed knife with the golden animal head out of his waist, and the sharp knife tip pointed obliquely to the forward position.

"charge!"

"charge!"

The flag bearer beside Youcheng also pointed the flag at the target, and the thousand heavy cavalry began to slowly turn and charge towards the enemy.

The speed of the heavy cavalry is not particularly fast, but the momentum is getting more and more vigorous. Everyone has entered a state of battle, wearing heavy armor, holding a spear, stepping on the stirrup, wide-eyed, full of fighting spirit. With the protection of the saddle and the support of the stirrups, they could let go of the reins, with their spears tucked in their armpits, and their bodies slightly bent, ready to strike.

They followed Youcheng tightly like a sharp spear, stabbing at the soft back of the Donghu Cavalry Array!

...

Under the siege and harassment of Zhao State's light cavalry, the Donghu people have already begun to show panic, and the most chaotic place is now under the pressure of the roar of the heavy cavalry!

Although the speed of the heavy cavalry is not as good as that of the light cavalry, but when moving, it should have the momentum of a mountain top, which should not be underestimated. When the horses started to move, there was a clattering sound of armor and clothing on the north side of the battlefield, and the ground began to tremble slightly...

Facing the iron-clad mountains that were charging at a medium speed, and staring at the dense spears, Xio said that the Donghu herdsmen were shocked, and even their mounts began to run around regardless of the rider's control, trying to avoid danger, and the scene was even more chaotic. The worse news is that the Donghu people have not even organized a decent counterattack. At this moment, in the face of the roaring heavy armored monsters, they have lost the courage of the prairie men, and can only shoot in despair.

The light cavalry evaded to both sides, the heavy cavalry was faster, and they had formed a shock formation. Some Donghu people's light arrows flew, and dozens of people in the front row were hit, including the post. It was successful, but the bone cluster only left a clanging sound and a small groove on his screen. Among the more than 200 heavy cavalry in the same row, there were only a few unlucky horses. Falling injured.

At this time, even if ten thousand arrows are fired in unison, they cannot stop the heavy cavalry charging at full speed!

"Kill!!" Ten steps away, Zhao Jun's heavy cavalry burst into exhausted roars at the same time.

"Boom!" In the next instant, the heavy torrent of steel slammed into the chaotic Donghu cavalry. For a while, everyone turned on their backs, and the sound of the spear and halberd breaking and the collision of giant objects continued.

There was also a huge impact force on Youcheng's hand, his mouth numb, the tip of the spear snapped, and the spear body flew off from under his armpit. And the Donghu leader who was stabbed by him only had time to let out a scream, and his figure turned backwards, fell to the horse, and was trampled into pieces by the iron hooves of countless Zhao Qi.

He hurriedly left the front row and looked around, only to see that many Donghu horses that could not escape were hit by their armored counterparts, their bones shattered, and even flew up due to the huge acceleration, and some fell to the ground with their riders. The ground rolled desperately.

Countless blood-stained spear tips pierced through the Donghu people, and a large amount of blood splashed from the blade of the ring-sheaded sword. Although the sound of the Donghu people's bronze narrow-edged sword rubbing against Zhao Jun's armor made one's teeth sour, But it is difficult to hurt Zhao Ren.

The dense formation of Zhao Jun's heavy cavalry and excellent armored weapons took the advantage, and they won the victory in this collision. This was the first attack of the two hundred front row. More than ten people were injured.

The impact is far from over, and there are four more impacts from the rear. After the charge, they are not reluctant to fight, but quickly withdraw under the cover of the light cavalry, adjust the formation and charge again...

In less than a moment, under the leadership of Youcheng, the more than 1,000 armored warhorses, like a sharp machete, drew an arc and tore a **** wound on the front of the Donghu people, leaving a **** wound. howling...

By the time Liuhe learned the news, the Donghu cavalry of up to 5,000 people on the northern front had been completely cut off into two parts. Under the siege of the light and heavy cavalry, they had lost the courage to fight again.

Before he could beat his chest and feet, Zhao Jun in the south also started to act...

"As long as the Donghu people can be caught, the armament and discipline of the Zhao army will be able to outperform these loose Hu prisoners, but Sun Wuzi once said to us that even if the victory is in hand, we must be good at using tactics and strategies in battle to reduce the own losses, increased enemy casualties."

Xu Qu had already seen what happened on the northern front, and while he was envious of the success of the post, he also admired Sun Wuzi, who had made plans for this expedition in the past six months.

But this is far from the end, they didn't come here to watch the heavy cavalry show off in exotic places.

"Wugang's chariots and square formations are the anvils, the heavy cavalry are the hammers, and the light cavalry are the hands that hold the Donghu people on the anvils... In this battle, chariots, steps, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry are all lacking. Not at all."

He threw away the drum vertebra, pulled out the blade, and ordered the Wugang car formation on the southern line to speed up and complete the encirclement with the friendly forces on the northern line!

"Today, the Donghu people often say that Rao Leshui is the father who raised their tribe. Today, we will strangle his child to death with our own hands in front of this father! Avenge General Yu!"

...

When night fell, the battle finally came to an end, the bright green grassland seemed to be stained with a layer of blood-colored paint, and the dead were all over the place.

The main force of the Donghu people is brave, but their tactics and equipment are an era behind Zhao Jun, not to mention that the entire tribe has just been kneaded together for a long time.

When the northern and southern fronts were defeated, many tribes began to flee, and Liu He's orders were completely useless. After a battle, more than half of Donghu suffered casualties, and Liuhe's headquarters was almost wiped out. He himself died in the chaos of the army. The head was chopped off by the man who had been coveting his leadership position. Together with the blood-stained golden headbands, they were dedicated to the three commanders of the Zhao army.

Xu Qu and Youcheng looked at Liu He's **** eyes, and their eyes were full of unwilling heads. They were very happy. The preparations for more than half a year and the more than a month of going deep into the grasslands were not in vain. This cunning jackal was finally captured by Zhao. The national hunters were surrounded.

Unexpectedly, before they were too happy, Xinzhigou came to tell them a news.

"Second son, although Liuhe died, his eldest son and hundreds of tribesmen took advantage of the night to forcefully cross the Raole River and cross the river. Although I sent people to chase, they were cunning. After a circle, they fled to the east. go."

After Xinzhigou listened to the whistleblower's report, he informed Xuqu and Youcheng of the incident, and consulted them on whether to continue the pursuit.

"Hundreds of people? Where might this generation escape to?"

"It must be Chishan!" Xinzhigou insisted that this is the holy mountain worshipped by the Donghu people for generations. They often compare Rao Leshui to the father **** and Chishan to the mother god. I went to Chishan.

"Chishan, but two hundred miles to the east of this place, the mountains are isolated, and the grasslands are vast..."

Xu Qu looked at Liu He's head, and thought about it. Now that the main force of Donghu has been annihilated, and even Dalai Nuoer, stationed in the pasture, has fallen into the hands of Zhao Jun, and the more than 100,000 cattle and sheep that have been captured, along with 20,000 to 30,000 Donghu prisoners, will be brought back, and this expedition will be fully successful. With this credit, it was enough to make his rank and file all the way from the official doctor to the clerk.

If you continue to pursue ~lightnovelpub.net~ at this time and repeat the mistakes of Yu Xi, wouldn't it be a bit of a loss?

To be cautious, Xu Qu had the intention of retreating, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Sun Wuzi once said in the art of war that poor bandits should not be forced, this is the way to use war..."

"The art of war is dead, and people are alive. Junhou also said that it is advisable to use the remaining brave to chase the poor bandits! Don't make a name like Song Xiang!"

A clear voice came from the outside, but it was a female general in a white robe, it was Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia was in charge of guarding the prisoners, as well as the rear group of the Postal Army's baggage, and only arrived at this time, so she missed this tragic battle.

But she didn't want to miss the chance to fulfill her brother's long-cherished wish.

Zhao Jia saluted the three commanders and said, "Jia listened to his threats when he tortured Donghu prisoners. As long as Chishan does not fall, the Donghu people will regroup at the foot of the mountain. , maybe in the vicinity of Chishan, there will be another Donghu leader with the remnants of the Hulu, tracing Liuhe's last wish, uniting all the ministries, and going westward to endanger the territory of Zhao State. Jia dare to invite three Yuan Rongs to give me three thousand light cavalry to chase eastward. Kill the enemy until Chishan, pull up his yellow flag, destroy the goddess altar, plough the courtyard and sweep the caves, and leave no seeds left, this is the way to destroy the Donghu, and it is a complete strategy!"
