Obviously, Xu Feng guessed wrong.
Xu Feng would never have imagined that Han Li, the leader of the Zhao army on the opposite side, chose to attack proactively because he took a fancy to his head.
"let's start!"
Xu Feng said.
Then, the horn on Qin Jun's side also sounded.
"attack!"
"kill!"
Then, the soldiers of the Qin and Zhao armies rushed towards each other.
Most of the [-] infantry on the Qin army's side were recruits, but even if they were recruits, they had all undergone at least three months of military training.
On Zhao Jun's side, many soldiers were conscripted into soldiers by Zhao Xie within two months, maybe they were still ordinary farmers.
Otherwise, how could it be possible for Zhao Xie to rapidly expand from 7 to 30 troops half a year ago to the current [-] troops.
There is only one way, catch the strong men.
In Zhao Jun's situation, if they can continue to win battles and win battles with the wind, these civilian husbands will also use it.
Before, after Zhao Jun defeated the main force of Wei Jun, he had been fighting with the wind and winning battles.
Therefore, the morale of Zhao Jun at this time is very high.
But in a situation like Zhao Jun's, the most fearful thing is to meet a strong opponent. Once the battle becomes a protracted battle, these Zhao Jun soldiers will never be able to hold on.
But now, the Qin army they were facing was not Wei Bao's Wei army, but an elite army.
More importantly, Qin Jun at this time completely crushed Zhao Jun on the opposite side in terms of equipment.
The ordinary infantry of the Qin army are usually double-armored, with leather armor on the inside and iron armor on the outside.
The outer iron armor has a strong defense against knives and spears, while the inner leather armor has a good defense against arrowheads.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing on the battlefield were loud, and the infantry led by Qin Zhao had already charged together.
As soon as they met each other, a large number of Zhao Army infantry were killed by Qin Army infantry.
Most of these infantry of the Qin army were sword and shield soldiers and spearmen. The sword and shield soldiers held a round shield and an iron knife, capable of both offense and defense.
The pikemen, on the other hand, wield a long spear and are responsible for the assault, which is the main force of the assault.
Most of Zhao Jun's infantry still held bronze swords and bronze daggers, and some even held sharpened bamboo as weapons.
There is no way, Zhao Xie has expanded his strength too fast in the past half a year, and the number of troops has increased too much.
He couldn't find such a huge weapon to equip all the soldiers under his command.
This is still the case when Zhao Xie seized a large number of weapons from Wei Bao after defeating the main force of the Wei army. Otherwise, there would be more soldiers holding bamboo in the Zhao army.
In this case, as soon as the infantry of the two sides fought together, Zhao Jun quickly suffered a lot of casualties.
However, these Zhao army infantry who dare to rush to the forefront on the battlefield are all veterans and backbones of the Zhao army.
Successive victories boosted the morale of these Zhao army veterans. Although there were many casualties, they still persisted, and the Qin army infantry fought together.
Whoosh whoosh!
Behind the charging infantry of the two armies is their phalanx of archers, who are constantly throwing arrows towards the opposite side.
There are nearly 2 archers on Zhao Jun's side, and every time the arrows are shot out, the arrows are black and dense, causing many casualties to Qin Jun.
The Qin army has fewer archers, only 5000, and the number of arrows in each wave is also small.
However, the frequency of archers shooting arrows on Qin Jun's side was several times faster than that on Zhao Jun's side.
Basically, Zhao Jun shot a wave of arrows, and Qin Jun could shoot three waves. The faster the frequency, the disadvantage in numbers was made up for.
"Damn it, why are Qin Jun's archers shooting so fast?"
Han Li, who was commanding the Zhao army to fight, watched the arrows raining down one after another, and really couldn't figure out how the Qin army did it.
The reason is very simple, because at this time the bows used by the archers on Qin Jun's side are no longer the ordinary bows before, but long bows.
The advantage of the longbow is that it saves effort, has a faster rate of fire, and has a longer range.
Of course, the shortcoming of the longbow is that it is much larger than the crossbows of the Qin army before, and it is as tall as a person.
Longbows are not suitable for cavalry, but are very useful for infantry archers.
The five thousand longbow troops of the Qin army did not put the arrows in the quiver before the battle, but stuck them in front of them.
Then they take one and shoot one, very fast.
Zhao Jun's archers, as they shoot arrows more times, their arms will become tired, making their shooting speed slower and slower.
On the other hand, Qin Jun's archer had already shot arrows for a full quarter of an hour, but the speed did not slow down much.
Because, the two sides rushed to the front pawns and fought together, and the archers of both sides would not shoot at this position.
The archers on both sides mainly attacked the rear soldiers of the opposing team and the archers of the opposing team.
It was only half an hour after the battle started, facing the continuous rain of arrows, the pawns behind Zhao Jun suffered a heavy blow.
This kind of Zhao army soldiers are all unarmored, facing the arrows thrown at them, they will either die or be disabled.
The heavy casualties caused the will of these soldiers of the Zhao army, who could only fight with the wind, to gradually collapse.
From the procrastination at the beginning, the idea of retreat gradually emerged in the end.
"Dead, all dead."
Finally, a weak-willed soldier in the Zhao army was frightened by the tragic death of too many comrades around him, dropped the weapon in his hand, turned and fled.
"Come here, stop those fleeing soldiers and kill them all.
Runaways, kill without mercy! "
Han Li, who was in charge of the battle at the rear, discovered the small group of rout soldiers who had escaped in time, and sent someone to stop them in time, beheading them all.
This kind of fierce method deterred those soldiers of Zhao Jun who wanted to turn around and run away, and made them grit their teeth and continue to persevere.
On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides are killed every moment.
But the cost of casualties on Zhao Jun's side was much higher than that on Qin Jun's side.
Rumble!
On the central battlefield, when the tens of thousands of infantry of the two armies were fighting, on the two wings of the battlefield, the cavalry of the Qin and Zhao armies rushed together again.
Before being defeated by the cavalry of the Qin army, the cavalry of the Zhao army had long been timid.
But unfortunately, this time it was the Qin army who came to attack. The Qin army's cavalry wanted to outflank the rear of the Zhao army's main infantry corps and attack the Zhao army's archer phalanx.
Zhao Jun's cavalry had to fight, they couldn't let Qin Jun's cavalry pass.
Otherwise, once the cavalry of the Qin Army detoured to the rear of the Zhao Army's infantry regiment, they would surprise their archer phalanx.
Once the Zhao Army's archer phalanx was dispersed by the Qin Army's cavalry, the Zhao Army's infantry would inevitably collapse.
Puff, puff!
It's a pity that Zhao Jun's cavalry has more energy than energy!
Facing the cavalry of the Qin army, even if they had the upper hand, they still had to be tortured.
In the round after round of charging, Zhao Jun's cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but they still persisted and were tenacious enough.
It's a pity that no matter how tenacious Zhao Jun's cavalry is, it will not help.
When the battle lasted for an hour and a half, the remaining [-] cavalry of the Zhao army, under the repeated charge of the cavalry of the Qin army, suffered more than half of the casualties, and could no longer hold on.
"Stop the fight, if the fight continues, we will all die!"
No one wants to die, and Zhao Jun's cavalry also has a desire to survive.
Seeing the cavalry on our side, more than half of them had been casualties, and the remaining cavalry of Zhao Jun didn't want to fight anymore, so they fled immediately.
The cavalry of the Qin army immediately divided into two, one chased and defeated the fleeing Zhao army cavalry, and the other went around the rear of the Zhao army's main force and attacked their archer phalanx.
"Rush, rush! Scatter them."
Zhao Yun roared, and with 5000 Qin cavalry behind him, he rushed towards a [-]-man archer phalanx of Zhao Jun in front at an extremely fast speed.
Rumble!
The sound of horseshoes shook the sky, and soon these Zhao Jun archers were alarmed.
It's just that the loud sound of horseshoes came from behind them, causing Zhao Jun's archers to look back.
As a result, this look scared them to death.
A cavalry of the Qin army had already rushed several hundred steps away from them.
With such a short distance, the cavalry of the Qin army arrived in no time, and they didn't even have a chance to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
At this moment, Zhao Jun's archers all panicked and stood there dumbfounded, at a loss.
They didn't receive orders from their superiors, they didn't know what to do, and they didn't dare to escape, so they were in a dilemma.
But soon, they don't have to worry about it.
Because the cavalry of the Qin Army had already rushed over, and rushed directly into the phalanx of Zhao Army's archers of 5000 people.
Bang bang bang!
Zhao Jun's archers were constantly knocked away by the running horses.
puff!
A cavalryman of the Qin army slashed left and right, and many archers of the Zhao army died tragically.
"Escape!"
Now, these Zhao Jun archers finally knew what to do, and fled in panic.
If you don't run, you die!
Of course, running is actually mostly death.
They could not outrun the four horse legs of the cavalry of the Qin Army.
After a while, the 5000 Zhao Jun archer phalanx completely collapsed and fled.
Then, Zhao Yun didn't bother to chase those Zhao Jun archers who fled in all directions.
Instead, he continued to rush towards another 5000 Zhao Jun archer phalanx not far away.
In the same way, it didn't take long for another phalanx of Zhao Jun's five thousand archers to flee completely.
"General, it's not good, the cavalry of the Qin army are coming."
At this time, Han Li naturally also saw that the cavalry of the Qin army who was leading the army to break up their archer phalanx had a pale face.
At this time, Han Li knew very well that when the cavalry of the Qin army broke up their archer phalanx, they had already lost the battle.
"Lu Zhang, this trash."
Han Li was yelling at the cavalry general under his command, but he didn't know that the cavalry general he was cursing had become Zhao Yun's ghost.
At this time, on the infantry battlefield, the veterans of the Zhao army who were at the forefront also fled one after another, not wanting to fight anymore.
In fact, the elite level of the Qin army's infantry was far beyond their imagination, and their equipment was better than theirs.
After fighting for such a long time, the cost of their casualties was several times that of the opponent.
Such a casualty ratio, even these Zhao army veterans, can't stand it!
As soon as the veterans of the Zhao army in the front fled, let alone those miscellaneous names who were already cowering in the back, they fled faster.
In fact, even without Zhao Yun and Lu Bu leading the cavalry of the Qin army, they killed the cavalry of the Zhao army again and dispersed the phalanx of archers behind the Zhao army.
The [-] Qin army infantry alone can defeat this Zhao army.
It's just that the Qin army would have to pay more casualties and take longer.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and soon the entire battlefield could be seen fleeing soldiers of Zhao Jun.
"General, let's escape too, it will be too late."
A close friend shouted at Han Li.
