Chapter 66 The Qin Army is defeated (Part 2)

For modern people, war horses are synonymous with backwardness. Modern society is using machinery, who cares about war horses?

In ancient times, war horses were one of the most important strategic resources, which was related to the rise and fall of a country, because war required a large number of war horses. Building cavalry required war horses, and transporting troops required war horses. In a word, if an army wants to have fast mobility and strong attack power, it must have war horses.

Therefore, some people say that "cavalry is the ace army in the cold weapon era", and its role is equivalent to that of the armored troops during World War II, and is known for its rapid mobility and strong offensive power.

It is precisely because of this that war horses in ancient times were extremely important and were paid attention to by all dynasties, so a famous policy was introduced called "Ma Zheng". The reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were able to defeat the powerful Xiongnu and the Tang dynasty could destroy dozens of countries was that the powerful nomadic people like the Turks were also destroyed by the Tang dynasty. One of the important reasons was that the "Ma Zheng" in the Han and Tang dynasties achieved great success.

It was precisely because of the success of the horse government that the government had mastered a large number of excellent war horses that could be used to build cavalry. Emperor Wu of Han promoted military reforms, mainly cavalry, and created a large number of elite cavalry. Under the command of genius generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, he swept across the Huns and created an immortal legend.

The Tang Dynasty was even more awesome, regardless of the military, and each had a war horse. Even when the infantry marched, it was riding a horse, and because of the strong mobility of the Tang army. It was precisely because of this that the Turkic Khan heard that Li Jing led his army to attack and mistakenly thought that the Tang army had arrived. Jie Li Khan was frightened and left tens of thousands of troops to escape alone. "Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night" achieved a brilliant record and became a classic in war history.

In the Warring States Period, the Warring States Period was in power, and there were wars every month. The consumption of war horses was too high, which led to the extremely precious war horses, which required a huge amount of financial resources to pile up. Xinling Jun refused to do anything to kill war horses to fill the trenches of the Qin army. This was too horrifying. Even Wang Ling, Meng Ao and Huan Qi, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, were also dumbfounded.

They never dreamed of playing this way, and at first sight, they all lost their voices.

"He's crazy! He's really crazy!" Wang Ling screamed as if his butt was burning, as if he was burning.

"Xinling Jun is crazy! How could he ignore the losses of the war horses like this?" Huan Qi also roared, his eyes full of anger.

"This person is unreasonable! Unreasonable!" Meng Ao opened his mouth for a long time before a sentence popped up.

They knew the importance of war horses. As long as they commanded the battle, they would try every means to reduce the losses of war horses. Look at their angry looks, as if this was not the war horse of the Wei army, but the war horse of his family.

"Hurry up here to set up a formation and prepare to face the enemy." Qin Yiren did not criticize Xinling Jun and reminded him loudly.

Although Xinlingjun successfully captured the Wei army, this kind of success was extremely dangerous, that is, he really had no way out. He could only succeed, not fail, even a small failure. If he failed, let alone how the King of Wei dealt with him, even these Wei soldiers would not let him go. Because the Wei army would say that Xinlingjun forced them, and if Jin Bi was there, they would not have failed.

To relieve this danger, the only way is to defeat the Qin army.

In order to defeat the Qin army and get rid of the crisis, Xinling Jun was desperate to do anything. Not to mention filling the trench with war horses, if it was useful to fill gold, he would not hesitate.

As long as he wins, he will not consider the price.

Based on Qin Yiren's understanding of Xinlingjun, he certainly knew what Xinlingjun would do next. Once the trench was filled, he would order an attack on the Qin army camp.

"Even if he fills the trench, we still have camps, so we are not afraid of him. As long as Wei Gou dares to attack, he will definitely make him come and go." Huan Qi looked at the Wei army rushing towards him, full of confidence.

It’s not that he was blindly confident, but that since the rise of Qin, the Wei army has never surpassed the Qin army, and the Qin people really don’t take the Wei army seriously.

"Arranged." Wang Ling had no objection and immediately ordered the Qin army to mobilize here and start to set up the formation, preparing to face the enemy.

When you arrange an array in the camp, you will encounter a trouble, that is, there is no place. The camp is full of tents, so where can there be space for the army to arrange an array? As a last resort, Wang Ling ordered the tents to be demolished and cleared space for the Qin army. In this way, the Qin army's array speed was extremely slow and could not form a formation for a long time.

"It's too late." Qin Yiren saw it and knew that time was tight, so he hurriedly said to Wang Ling: "General Wang, hurry up and order to send troops out to stop the Wei army's trenches and buy time."

Huan Qi took the lead in opposing this issue and said, "Young Master, you have not experienced the battle formation and do not know the magical use of a dignified formation. At present, the Wei army suddenly attacked, and we have rushed to fight. Even if we send troops out to meet the enemy, we cannot form a formation and suffer a lot of casualties."

"Yes." Meng Ao nodded and agreed, "Even if Wei Gou fills the trench, we still have camps that can withstand for a while, enough for us to form a formation."

The role of the camp is to rely on it. Once attacked by the enemy, it can be used to resist. The Qin army's camp is very strong and they have enough confidence.

"Young Master, this is a war, it's not a debate." Wang Ling's words meant that Qin Yiren had to learn from them, the old predecessors, when it comes to war.

"If I was wrong, Xinling Jun would attack our camp in one go." Qin Yiren bit his lip and said in a deep voice: "While going out to stop the Wei army from filling the trenches, although the casualties are very serious, it is the most effective."

"How could this happen?" Wang Ling, Huan Qi, and Meng Ao all opposed it.

Qin Yiren really wanted to slap them a few times in the face to make them sober. But he also knew that this was useless. Because he was not a famous general or a long-time general, in the eyes of Wang Ling and others, Qin Yiren was just a "rookie" and his words were not worth it.

Soon, Qin Yiren's words were fulfilled.

After the Wei army charged, they used war horses to fill the trench and could directly attack the camp.

At this moment, a team of thousands of people appeared in the Wei army. This team was unique. These soldiers were tall and extremely strong, wearing iron armor, bright armor. They held heavy weapons, long sticks, big swords, giant swords, big axes, giant hammers, and all kinds of weapons in their hands, and they all had one thing in common, that is, they were particularly heavy, at least more than a hundred pounds.

The team rushed towards the Qin army camp with neat steps. Every step they took would burst into earth-shaking footsteps, which was very terrifying.

"This is..." Wang Ling, Huan Qi and Meng Ao's eyes widened, with shock on their faces.

"What are Wei Gou doing?" Some Qin soldiers saw it and were puzzled and asked loudly.

"Can the camp still resist?" Qin Yiren asked in a deep voice at Wang Ling.

"Quick, array, array." Wang Ling's eyes were round, his face turned pale, his face was twisted, and the blue veins on his forehead, neck, and the back of his hands were angrily thrusting, like a twisted branch of an old tree.

With his eyes, he naturally understood what the Wei army was going to do.

Xinlingjun wanted to use this special army to break through the Qin army's camp.

Although the Qin army's camp was strong, it could not withstand the attacks of so many people with heavy weapons. Thousands of people bombarded the camp with heavy weapons, and even the most solid camp could not withstand it.

Once the camp is broken, the Wei army will take advantage of the situation to attack, and the Qin army has not yet formed a formation, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Bang!" Huan Qi slapped himself heavily, and looked at Qin Yiren with a different look. He was a veteran general, and he expected that the enemy would be inferior to Qin Yiren. He was ashamed and told Qin Yiren to accusation: "Young Master, Huan Qi apologizes."

"General, please welcome the enemy." Qin Yiren was not in the mood to care about his Daoqian, and the most important thing was to welcome the enemy.

"Yes! Welcoming the enemy." This time, Huan Qi and Meng Ao had no objection and agreed very much.

The war has come to this point, and it is impossible to meet the enemy.

"Strong crossbow, shoot." Wang Ling loudly ordered, and the powerful crossbow in the camp shot towards the thousands of Wei troops, shooting many Wei troops, but it could not stop the Wei army from attacking.

Because the strong crossbows in the defensive camps are not dense enough, there is no such thing as the power of the crossbow formation, so it is naturally impossible to stop the Wei army from attacking. If the Qin army was asked to set up the crossbow formation, these Wei army would not be enough at all. Unfortunately, this can only be considered. The Wei army had too fast and caught the Qin army off guard.

Soon, the Wei army rushed to the front of the camp, raised the heavy weapons in their hands, and smashed them hard at the camp.

"Boom!" A shocking sound was heard, and the earth was shaking, as if it was an earthquake. The Qin army's camp was tilted and was overwhelmed.

"Smash!" As soon as we saw that it was effective, Wei Jun Xinling was a big shocking roar, and raised the heavy weapon in his hand again and smashed it down hard, with another earth-shaking loud noise.

Seeing that the camp was about to be broken and the Qin army had not yet formed a formation, Wang Ling felt dizzy and kept saying: "I regret not listening to the young master's words! I regret not listening to the young master's words!"

This was the second time he didn't listen to Qin Yiren's words, and soon discovered that he was wrong again. If he adopted Qin Yiren's suggestion and sent troops out to the camp to block the Wei army from filling the trenches, the cost would be high, but he would be able to gain time.

"Young Master, what should I do?" Wang Ling asked Qin Yiren.

"Yes, young master, what do you think should I do?" The generals looked at Qin Yiren with a gaze, waiting for him to make a decision.

Previously, they did not believe in Qin Yiren. After a few twists and turns, Qin Yiren's words were fulfilled. Qin Yiren's weight suddenly increased in their minds, and they began to ask for advice from Qin Yiren.

This is a good start.

"It's too late to make an array now, so we'll just not make an array. Let's fight a unique melee with the Wei army." Qin Yiren frowned and immediately had an idea.

"Good idea." The generals agreed in unison.

It was too late for the Qin army to make an array, so it would be better to give up the array and prepare to fight with the Wei army. When fighting in the camp, the Qin army cannot form a formation, and the Wei army cannot form a formation, which becomes a melee. As for who can win, it depends on whose individual combat ability is strong.

Speaking of individual combat capabilities, the Wei army is not as good as the Qin soldiers in any case. The Qin army should have the upper hand.

This is indeed the best way to deal with the Wei army at present.
