Chapter 198 The duel between the cavalry and the chariot

Zhao Yong looked at the enemy matrix approaching him and was about to reach an arrow, and raised the prepared flag.

When the enemy's archer pulled the longbow, Zhao Yong knocked down the flag. All the Zhao people's bows and arrows were launched together. With the deafening roar of the bow strings, nearly 100,000 arrows flew into the sky, covering the sky on the entire battlefield like dark clouds.

The Yan army then launched, and 50,000 long arrows flew into the sky at the same time, pressing against the top of the Zhao army like dark clouds.

The rain of arrows from both sides converges in the air, making the sky on the battlefield darker. The first ones between the two sides are the feathered arrows. They meet in the sky, then collide, break, and fall. The middle of the battlefield is immediately covered with arrows from both sides.

But there were still a few that fell, and countless arrows rushed into the formation of both sides, immediately causing a bloody flower to scream and wail.

However, the Zhao people's formation did not loosen, and the Zhao people still fired at the opponent in the rain of arrows, and shot twice and three times.

Faced with the rain of arrows that Zhao people shot twice and three times, the formation of the Yan people began to shake, and the Yan people began to fear.

Qi Jie issued an order to assault the chariot without hesitation.

The five hundred chariot of Zhongju immediately activated the war horse and began to rush towards the enemy formation. The warriors on the chariot loudly encouraged the following long-speech soldiers, bravely fighting the enemy's arrows.

Seeing the enemy's chariot charge, the front row soldiers of the Zhao people immediately dropped the bows and arrows in their hands, picked up long spears, and put them flat. The Zhao army's chariots also began to launch, and the soldiers on the chariot also launched an attack on the enemy without any concession.

The chariots that were rushing against each other in a blink of an eye collided with each other. The archers on the car shot their arrows, and the shields on the car protected their generals and masters, swung their long spears, and killed them, and they were victorious. There was no result in the battle. The two cars passed by and rushed out.

This is a combination.

In such a decisive battle, there is no chance of rushing past. If both sides stop the war, one side must be defeated and surrendered.

Looking at this magnificent war scene, Zhao Xing drew out his cavalry crossbow and sighed: "This kind of scene is much more spectacular than the ones in the movie. It is also a great blessing for life to be able to witness such a magnificent scene with your own eyes."

Xu Jie also followed the strings of the cavalry crossbow, "Your inexplicable saying is annoying, but if you want to maintain this feeling of participating in the good fortune, please survive the upcoming battle, because a battle of hundreds of thousands of people will die as if a leaf fell in the forest."

Zhao Xing thought for a while, then put away his cavalry crossbow, and said to Zhao Wuji: "Mr. Xu Jie and I are in charge of the central army and take charge of the overall situation. You will take our warriors and launch an attack according to our tactics."

Xu Jie also put away the cavalry crossbow and nodded: "The general will not leave his position, this is the foundation for winning the war."

So, the two of them watched Zhao Wuji lead the army to the battlefield and the enemy.

Le Yi, who was sitting upright on the war horse and observing the situation, saw Zhao Yong's army fighting with the cavalry army, without launching it. When he saw the opposite side, smoke and dust raised in Zhao Xing's position, he yelled at the soldiers beside him: "Warriors, follow me-" The first one rushed towards the Yan State's military formation like an arrow.

The Zhao Xing's cavalry team made a left-right attack, which made the formation of the Yan army even more shaken. The Qi Jie, who was standing in the central position, immediately saw the crisis, but he knew that when he was talking about the war, he would be done if the left and right wings were broken through, so he decisively ordered: "The two left and right matrices, don't care about the safety of the central army, and do your best to block Zhao Xing's cavalry's raid."

Such a command was correct, and the soldiers from the left and right matrix immediately hedged the Zhao Xing cavalry and covered the arrow rain.

Because of Liangyi as a support, Zhao Xing's cavalry could not use their kung stomping and cavalry skills, so they could only attack with all their strength and rush towards the enemy formation.

The overwhelming rain of arrows shot and killed the galloping riders to the ground. The war horses were thrusting and the soldiers' screams before death combined into a huge shouting sound, which sounded on the battlefield, making Zhao Xing and Xu Jie, who was hiding behind the formation, couldn't help but feel scared.

"At the time when the commander-in-chief charged, he might have fallen on the road to attack."

Zhao Xing was about to strangle Xu Jie to death: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and a handsome man will not leave his position. This is my rule. I must abide by the rules I set by myself, so I should command you to the battlefield."

Xu Jie smiled: "I am the Changshi, so I shouldn't have appeared here, so please treat me as air."

Zhao Xing was so angry that he was angry.

Bunches of giant arrows flew out, covering the way Zhao Xing and Le Yi went forward.

The rain of arrows turned the road ahead of the cavalry into a grassland of arrows.

Zhao Wuji and Le Yi were still roaring and roaring towards each other, shooting crossbow arrows in their hands towards the Yan army's army. Wherever locusts passed, Yan army was shot down one by one.

Before the Yan army could fly out again, the two men and soldiers rushed out of the shooting range with their soldiers.

After repeated attempts, although there is no such shooting effect as circling the enemy's formation, it still puts huge pressure and damage to the enemy. Although there are casualties and injuries on one side, it is insignificant in comparison.

Because Liang Yi was behind the Yan army, Zhao Xing's cavalry could not surround the formation and cavalry, but such oppression of the two wings also made the advance feel huge pressure and danger.

This kind of passive beating can be the most depressing of the morale of the army, and it is impossible to win and resolve the war between the two wings. So, the cavalry ordered that each wing would attack 200 chariots and defeat, even at least to drive away the enemy, allowing himself to concentrate on facing the frontal Zhao Yong's main force.

The left and right armies each came out with 200 chariots and rushed towards Zhao Wuji and Le Yi's cavalry. The overwhelming momentum of the chariots was really scary.

The hundred infantry following each chariot, waving long spears, can roll over the war horses at a long distance.

This is the first time that Zhao Xing's cavalry has truly faced a dignified battle with chariots since the army was formed, and it is a real head-on battle.

Such an upcoming showdown made Zhao Xing clench his fists nervously, and Xu Jie was also nervously shaking his beard. They were not nervous about failure, but about the battle, which would give them a result of the loss ratio, and give them a comparison of the real combat power gap between the two armies.

The art of command appeared at this time. Zhao Wuji was overjoyed when he saw the enemy chariots rushing out. So he immediately commanded his soldiers and launched a direct attack on the enemy. After their crossbows harvested the first batch of Yan army infantry, they rushed into the enemy formation and stabbed the sled, causing the enemies on the chariot to die one after another. However, the long spears of the Yan army, which protected the chariots, also made Zhao Wuji's soldiers and soldiers turn over. The two sides immediately trembled together.

The cavalry that lost its impact could only fight with the infantry by relying on their condescending advantages. But at this time the power of the chariots was exerted, and the chariots surrounded by infantry became the support of the Yan infantry. They did not have to worry about being broken through behind them, as long as they faced the enemy directly.

The soldiers on the chariot not only became the core of dispatching and command, but the generals and archers on it became the biggest enemies of the cavalry. They became fortresses on the battlefield and truly played the leading role of the chariot.

Le Yi has never experienced real cavalry battles. In principle, his experience is not as good as Zhao Wuji, who has dealt with the Qin and Wei coalition forces. However, the reason why a generation of famous generals became famous generals is not only because he has courage, but also has a calm mind and a adaptable mind.

When Le Yi saw the 200 chariots roaring out and came to him, he roared and immediately launched a cavalry and shooting at the infantry that he followed. He ordered a small cavalry to penetrate a small part of the 200 chariots with his determination to be fearless, and cut him out of the whole in a blink of an eye. Then the other cavalry, with absolute advantage, submerged the small pieces that were cut. This piece was annihilated, and another small group of cavalry rushed again, splitting out another piece and continuing to annihilate. With such continuous division and continuous erosion, after an hour, the 200 chariots that the enemy rushed out and his 2000 corpses were completely lying on the battlefield.

Regardless of fatigue, Le Yi decisively launched a real desperate attack on the thin enemy left wing.

More than 10,000 cavalry no longer used any tricks. They rushed directly to the left wing of the enemy with almost no resistance, smashed them through and defeated them in a blink of an eye, and then launched an attack on the enemy's central army without hesitation.

The left army was defeated, the central army was attacked, and the entire central army became in chaos. The central army was in chaos behind, and the Yan army, who were fighting with the Zhao army in front, collapsed in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the defeated army and the powerful Zhao army, Qi Jie closed his eyes in pain. Amid the screams, he ordered the Siqi to bring down his fortune and surrender to the Zhao army.

The Central Army fell down, and the Yan army, who was fighting, put down the weapons in their hands, stood there and stopped shouting for killing.

The Zhao army immediately stopped the attack and began to slowly escape from the battle distance. They did not take away the enemy's weapons and armor. Of course, they were not worried that the enemy would take the opportunity to pick up the weapons and counterattack again, because everyone kept the rules.

The chariot of the cyclist drove over alone. There were no left or right of the car in his car, and only Yurong who drove the car.

The chariot came to Zhao Yong, and Qi Jie stood on the chariot and bowed: "Foreign ministers meet Zhao Jun, I hope that Zhao Jun will be invincible for thousands of years."

Zhao Xing nodded and accepted Qi Jie's wishes.

Qi Jie took off the sword on his waist and gave it to Yurong, who took him, jumped out of the chariot, and walked to Zhao Yong: "Please accept the surrender of our Yan State General."

Zhao Yong took over the sword from Yurong's hand and said in a calm voice: "I accept your general's surrender. I will treat his subordinates and soldiers with gentlemanly courtesy."

After obtaining this permission and acceptance, Qi Jie walked off his carriage, walked to Zhao Yong, and formally knelt down and surrendered.
