Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 465 The Strange Cavalry
In Xianyang Palace, since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty war, military information from the front line will be sent to Xianyang Palace every day. Qin Wangzheng does not want to use this method to control the frontline army remotely. When I knew it was impossible.

He will discuss with his own generals in formulating the general plan of the march, but in the specific implementation process, Qin Wangzheng will retreat behind the scenes. Although Qin Wangzheng is confident, he can even be called conceited at times. But in his self-confidence or arrogance, there is more reason, he knows what he can do, and what he can't meddle in casually.

On an ordinary day in April, a military newspaper from Donghuan City appeared on the desk of Qin Wangzheng, and it was placed side by side with the military newspaper from Wang Jian’s army. Looking at the two styles of handwriting on it, Qin Wangzheng couldn’t help but Laughed.

Wang Jian, who always strives for stability in combat, chose the seemingly craziest method in this battle. Yang Ming, who is famous for his bravery and diligence, chose the seemingly safest method in this battle. I have to say , The contrast between them is really interesting. Of course, what Qin Wangzheng saw was not only interesting, but more thinking after this abnormality.

"Sun Tzu said in the first chapter of The Art of War that the soldiers are like water, and the water moves to avoid heights and tends to go down. The shape of soldiers avoids reality and strikes the weak. Water controls the flow because of the ground, and soldiers win because of the enemy. Therefore, soldiers are impermanent. Potential, water is impermanent. Those who can win due to the changes of the enemy are called gods." Qin Wangzheng said to himself.

Zhao Gao and Li Si who were beside him acted like they were listening respectfully.

"Everyone praises Zhao Guo's great general, Li Mu, as the god of the battle formation, but how can the general and the captain of the army not be the god of the battle formation?" Qin Wangzheng said.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, 16 years must be the year of Zhao's destruction." As a servant, Zhao Gao naturally doesn't need to pay attention to any morals, and naturally he can say whatever he wants in terms of flattery, without thinking too much, and without worrying about damaging his personality The possibility of seeing him, is Li Si still thinking about how to answer the conversation?But the opportunity has been snatched by Zhao Gao in advance.

"Huh? Zhao Gao, when did you also learn the divination techniques of the Yin Yang family?" Qin Wangzheng asked Zhao Gao, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood at this time. Obviously what Zhao Gao said was exactly what he liked to hear .

"Your Majesty, I'm an idiot, but I can't learn the divination techniques of the Yin Yang family." Hearing the ease in Qin Wangzheng's words, Zhao Gao knew that what he said just now was right.

"Then how do you know?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"It was the king who told me just now." Zhao Gao said with a smile.

"What did the widow tell you?" At this time, Qin Wangzheng, who was in a good mood, naturally had a bit of leisure to play with Zhao Gao.

Zhao Guo is finally about to disappear from this world. If there is one country Qin Wangzheng hates the most among the six countries in the world, it is definitely Zhao Guo, not only because of his childhood spent in Zhao Guo, but also because of Zhao Guorang For the first time, he experienced the taste of a big defeat. The combination of two reasons gave Qin Wangzheng enough reasons to hate Zhao Guo.

"Just now what Your Majesty said, Li Mu of the Zhao Kingdom is the god of the army formation, and the general and the captain of the guard are not the gods of the battle formation. How can the two gods of the battle formation be invincible against the last god of the army formation? reason." Zhao Gao replied.

"You are cunning." Qin Wangzheng smiled lightly, as if he agreed with Zhao Gao's statement.

Li Si looked at the scene in front of him, and there was a trace of regret in his heart. He had too many scruples just now, and his reserve for a while actually missed another opportunity for nothing, and Zhao Gao snatched such a good opportunity.

When Qin Wangzheng in Xianyang Palace had already seen the hope of victory, the Qin State North Road Army Corps far away in the territory of Zhao State had already begun to prepare for the decisive battle.

At the end of April in the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng, on the vast plain under the Taihang Mountains, more than 20 troops from both Qin and Zhao walked out of the camp in the early morning sunshine. Since the Qin army entered the territory of Zhao, the real war was about to begin.

A total of 25 soldiers and horses gathered on the battlefield, and the banners fluttered, which can be described as boundless. Countless swords, guns, swords and halberds reflected the faint cold light under the rising sun. The two most powerful legions in the world will be in Zhao Guo. On top of that, the cruelest and most heroic scene in the world was staged. They decided the life and death of countless people, the life and death of Zhao, and even the general trend of the whole world.

In this battle, if the Zhao army is defeated, the Zhao country will perish. Since then, there will be no army in the world that can stop the Qin army.

"The Qin army really deserves its reputation. In such a short period of time, it can integrate the soldiers from several counties into such a seamless one." The Qin army formed a large formation, and the solemn look in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by a high-spirited fighting spirit.

The dignity only existed before the war started. At that time, Li Mu needed to think about many things, but now that he has entered the battlefield, Li Mu no longer needs to think about other things. Now he only needs to think about one thing, and that is to defeat the Qin army and win the victory. Battlefield war victory.

"It's about to be a decisive battle. There is no so-called military strategy at all. What is there is only strong attack?" In the Qin army's main formation, Li Xin looked at the almost boundless Qin Zhao army and was at a loss for a while.

Qin Wangzheng threw him into Yang Ming's army. Although he was punishing him for his failure in the battle last year, it was also for him to learn something from Yang Ming.

Li Xin also kept this in mind. After coming to the Habayashi Guard under Yang Ming's command, he observed carefully and studied hard, but now, just when he thought that Yang Ming and Li Mu were almost the two most capable fighters in the world. When there was such a thrilling duel between the famous generals, the two unexpectedly chose such a simple and rude method, directly deploying an army, and a decisive battle was about to take place.

Could it be that I was invincible before because I was not reckless enough?Li Xin subconsciously thought of it, but then even he felt it was ridiculous, and then quickly gathered his mind. At this moment, he must not be distracted. Right now, it is useless to think about anything, there is only one word of war.

Amidst the sound of military drums, the formations of the Qin and Zhao armies began to change slowly, and they all took the attitude of attacking.

In this decisive battle, both Qin Jun and Zhao Jun made the same choice and chose to attack.

Zhao's frontier cavalry is famous all over the world, but Qin's Shangjun, Beidi, and Longxi counties are also the main source of Qin's cavalry, and Qin's cavalry is also a rare force in the world. One after another, the cavalry gathered into legions. Among the suppressed breathing of the cavalry, only the horses seemed to have felt the coming of the war, perhaps because of uneasiness.

In Zhao Jun's left camp, as the commander of Zhao Jun's left army, Sima Shang looked at the Qin Army's formation from a distance while dispatching troops to condemn the generals. The cavalry appeared in front of the Qin Army's formation seemed a little strange, with all the horses and soldiers. Heavy armor can be called a luxury. In today's world, I am afraid that only Qin has such national power to arm its own cavalry to such an extent.

Moreover, why is the three rides in parallel?What do they want?He thought he had lived in the north of Zhao State for a long time, and although his understanding and use of cavalry was not as good as Li Mu's, but he was still considered an excellent general, Sima Shang felt a strange feeling for a while, and after the strangeness, It is a trace of uneasiness.

On the decisive battlefield of more than 20 troops, the battle line stretches for nearly thirty miles. On such a large battlefield, it is impossible for the generals of both sides to command the whole field at the same time. It is inevitable to divide the army, and Sima Shang is like this Under the circumstances, he became the chief general of Zhao Jun Zuo Jun.

In view of the fact that the overall strength of the Qin Army was superior, Li Mu's strategy was to focus on heavy armored infantry on the two wings, supplemented by light cavalry, not to seek a big victory, but to stabilize the front line, while Zhao Jun's elite side cavalry concentrated in the middle. , strive to gain the advantage of the middle road in the shortest time, and then use the fast maneuverability of the side riders to continuously expand this advantage obtained in the middle road, accumulate little to make a lot, and then win the entire battlefield.

Under such an arrangement, Zhao Jun's Zuo Jun's combat power is relatively the weakest, and it is precisely because of this that Li Mu made Sima Shang the leader of the Zuo Jun, because he is most at ease with Sima Shang.

But right now, before I gain an advantage in the middle, can I really block it? For the first time, Sima Shang doubted himself. It was really the three thousand cavalrymen who had never seen the front of the Qin army, which gave him a kind of mystery. There is a feeling of pressure.

But right now the two armies are already very close, but Sima Shang has no chance to hesitate at all. As the saying goes, the braver wins when the two armies meet, and the distance between the forwards of the two armies is already less than a thousand steps away. , the only thing is to fight with strength and promote strength with wisdom.

As the drums of the Qin army marched, there was a suppressed breathing in the left formation of the Zhao army. The cavalry of the Qin army that had never appeared before made the soldiers of the Zhao army in the front row feel the pressure. They may not know how to march and fight, and although they may not have learned the art of war, the wisdom of surviving and fighting between battle formations has already been transformed into the instinct of the body, but at this moment, they feel a little uneasiness in their intuition.

In the midst of holding your breath, it was the sound of the horseshoes of the forward cavalry of the Qin Army hitting the ground. Under the armor, the horse's load was doubled, and the sense of oppression from the metal was even stronger.

"Attack." As Qin Jun continued to approach Zhao Jun's front line, the speed of Qin Jun's forward heavy cavalry became faster and faster, rushing towards Zhao Jun's left army line like a landslide.

"Such an impact, even the Wei soldiers at their peak may not be able to block it." Although Sima Shang has never seen Qin Jun's strange cavalry with heavy armor and linked by chains, he can roughly judge that it is an infantry soldier. When the big formation collides with such a heavy cavalry, it is difficult to stop it.
