Chapter 54 Spear and Shield

The smoke and dust splashed from the horse's hooves stretched north like a yellow dragon. The Qin cavalry rushed north under the leadership of Sima Chang.

After all, this plan was proposed by Sima Chang. If something goes wrong, he will die.

"Stop..." Sima Chang, who was running and taking the lead, suddenly ordered the cavalry troops to stop. Due to the sudden stop, the cavalry behind could not be stopped, which caused some chaos.

At the end of the sight, a Zhao army flag was towering. Behind the flag were densely lined up, teams of Zhao army were blocking Sima Chang's necessary path to return to the rescue. Judging from Sima Chang's experience in commanding troops, there were at least 20,000 to 30,000.

There were only 50,000 troops left in the northern part of the Zhao army. Li Mu's 20,000 cavalry were not there, so he must have gone to the camp to attack the camp. The remaining troops were probably here to stop him from returning to the rescue.

The moment he saw Zhao Jun, Sima Chang felt as if the whole sky had collapsed. He was so bad that Li Mu was willing to do it in order to achieve his merits.

He used 30,000 infantry to block his 20,000 cavalry, but after the battle, he didn't know how many of these 30,000 people could be left.

If Sima Chang had a choice, he would rather not make up for military merits. Because as long as he was dragged here, General Wang Jian in the camp would be in danger.

Once Wang Jian died, it was basically possible to determine that the Qin army returned in vain again during this large-scale attack, and all this was because of Sima Chang.

The only way to get rid of Zhao's army's obstruction as soon as possible and return to the army to rescue. There is no point in saving Wang Jian, as long as Wang Jian does not die, there will be hope.

Thinking of this, Sima Shang ordered loudly: "The whole army obeys the order, and must not be entangled with the Zhao army in this battle. After breaking through the Zhao army's defense line, he will return to the aid camp quickly. The Qin Dynasty is powerful and the iron cavalry is invincible. Breaking through!"

"The great Qin Dynasty is powerful and the iron cavalry is invincible"

After a shout, Sima Chang took the lead and rushed towards Zhao's military wall.

The 20,000 Qin army cavalry were like a black torrent, piercing towards the Zhao army under the leadership of Sima Chang.

On the other hand, Zhao Jun obviously also knew the importance of this battle, and success or failure was related to the outcome of the entire war.

They were crowded together, with a row of shield soldiers at the front, and a row of long-spear soldiers waiting for them behind. There was no formation at all, and the purpose was very simple. Even if you use your flesh and blood to resist the war horses, you would have to hold back the Qin army's journey back to aid before you get the exact news.

From a high altitude, it seemed like a spear and a shield entanglement. The Qin cavalry was like an invincible peerless sword, hitting the heavy shield that was waiting for the Zhao army.

For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Facing the puncture of the cavalry, the Zhao army infantry did not hide at all, and just pushed them up. The Qin army cavalry did not have time to exert their huge mobility advantage against infantry as usual, and they hit them directly.

The one in front fell down, and the one behind continued to fill it up. One by one, the soldiers were corpses and horses, and the horses died with the knights on their backs.

The intersection of the two armies was soon piled up by corpses like a stretch of earth. The blood of the soldiers of the two armies gathered in one place and flowed out like a stream.

The front line was constantly moving, and the Qin army suffered huge casualties at every step. Even if the Zhao army suffered far better than the Qin army, such losses were difficult for Sima Chang to accept.

But now the arrow is on the string and has no choice but to rush over. The long sword is full of gaps left by the weapon match. He strives to stab a Zhao soldier who rushed over to death. Sima Chang looked up and saw that the Zhao army was still brave and fearless in the death front and front guards one after another.

"kill……"

It can be said that the two most elite troops at that time were entangled in an extremely strange form, regardless of casualties. If it were the army of other vassal states, they would probably be afraid of moving forward due to such casualties.

The intersection of the two armies was like a human meat grinder. The people who rushed over lie underground in a short while, and even had some incomplete bones. The Zhao army and the Qin army under Li Mu's command still collided with each other, knowing that they would die.

Most of the Zhao army was governed by Li Mu for many years and loved his soldiers, so the soldiers were willing to die for Li Mu. A large part of the Qin army was afraid of the rigorous Qin law.

However, the cruelty on this side is still somewhat insufficient compared to the situation in the Qin army camp.

The offense and defense reversed, attacking the most elite cavalry under Li Mu, and guarding the elite soldiers carefully selected among the Qin army. When the two armies fought, they were even more fearless. Some Qin soldiers fell down and had to hold the horse hooves of the Zhao army's cavalry before they died. The Zhao army, who died of war horses, simply became infantry and stepped forward.

Some soldiers of the Qin and Zhao armies fell to the ground and still wrestled together. After their arms were damaged, even their teeth became weapons for attack.

The entire camp was filled with fire and blood flowed into a river.

The Qin army had retreated to the last line of defense, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the five thousand men. The Li Mu cavalry, who was attacking the other side, also left more than 3,000 corpses on this battlefield.

After nearly two hours of uninterrupted war, not only did Wang Jian’s defense party reach its limit, but even the Li Mu cavalry troops who were constantly attacking were exhausted.

But seeing victory is right in front of you, Wang Jian’s central army tent is right in front of you. As long as you break through the last wall in front of you, capture and kill Wang Jian is right in front of you, Zhao’s army is generally strong in morale.

However, the Qin army in the trenches had a bad expression. Logically speaking, Sima Chang's reinforcements should have arrived long ago. But there was no news yet, so there must be something wrong on the road.

Although the mourning soldiers will win, the remaining Qin soldiers are struggling to survive, but this depends on the power comparison between the two sides.

Qin soldiers kept falling from the camp wall, and the last camp wall seemed a little crumbling.

Veteran Wang Jian stood in front of the camp wall with a sword covered in blood, of course, all of this blood belonged to Zhao Jun.

"I never thought that I would become the name of Li Mu in my life!" Wang Jian sighed inwardly. In this way, the Qin army would never last for half an hour.

Just as Wang Jian was feeling, there was a sudden burst of rapid horse hooves coming from far away, and the sound was like thousands of troops galloping.

The Li Mu cavalry army had already entered the camp and could not perform at this time, and it was definitely not as powerful as this.

When Wang Jian heard the originally dim vision, he suddenly became brighter and reinforcements arrived. The Qin soldiers who were struggling to hold on to the ground heard the sound of horse hooves, and their thoughts were the same as Wang Jian. The first thing he thought was that Sima Chang's reinforcements had arrived.

For a moment, as if full of strength, blocked Zhao Jun's attack back.

"General, our army was blocked by the Qin army again!" A side general of the Zhao army wiped the blood on his face and rushed over to report to Li Mu that they should attack the Qin army camps constantly according to Li Mu's order.

However, it took half an hour to break through the Qin army camp as it is now. The cavalry behind the horse's hooves will arrive soon. At that time, the one who was being made of dumplings was Zhao Jun.

Li Mu's eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire. He couldn't think of where the reinforcement soldiers came out. Even if the Zhao army he sent to stop was a scarecrow and 30,000 people were piled up together, the Qin army reinforcements were not so easy to break through.

Now that I can't steal chickens and lose rice, I'm just one line away from killing Wang Jian. It seems that the losses are comparable to those of the Qin army, but the Qin army lost infantry and the elite cavalry they themselves lost. The infantry sent to block Qin cavalry may have suffered even more heavy losses.

After this battle, with the remaining strength of the Zhao army, it is unlikely that it will be possible to fight the Qin army in field except to defend the city.

Although I was reluctant to leave, I still ordered. "Stop the attack and retreat."
