"Send orders to Luo Jia, let the chariots and cavalry storm disrupt the Wei army's battle formation, and clear the gaps in breakthroughs for the infantry!"

Seeing the Qin reinforcements coming to reinforce, the city gate behind them was closed, the Wei army immediately shrank its battle formation and lined up into a huge circle. The long halberd was facing outward and the giant shield was in front. Now it was the Qin army's turn to chew on this hard bone.

Meng Tian moved his muscles and bones, walked down from the small earth slope, and stepped onto a war horse.

The Qin army is now in an dominant position and Meng Tian does not need to continue standing on the earth slope.

In ancient battle formations, the commonly recognized front-arrow array was suitable for attack, while the circular array was conducive to defense. Generals who were good at defense occupied a suitable location and could hold on for a long enough time. It is said that in the Mohist defensive techniques, in addition to the method of defending the city, there was also a method of forming formations and defending themselves in field battles.

"Woo woo woo woo--"

The shrill sound of cow horns, with a rush to move forward, floated across the battlefield and came into Luo Jia's ears who had just arrived at the battlefield.

"Charge, order the driver to drive the chariot to the front!"

Luo Jia looked at the densely packed long halberds in the Wei army formation, and he couldn't bear to live the lives of the heavy cavalry under his command.

"Is it because the general formed a cyclist and cavalry force today?"

Nearly a hundred heavy-duty chariots led by four horses ran towards the passage where the Qin army made way out. The dust that was ripped off, even Luo Jia, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, was very shocked.

These chariots are wider than ordinary chariots. The outside of the axle is equipped with a sharp bronze wheel knife. The chariot is magnificent in size. A spear is tied to the horse's back. From a distance, it looks like a rushing one-horned rhino.

The jungle water net in the south is not suitable for chariots to run. The hinterland of Wei State is located in a wide plain. Since ancient times, it has always been an excellent place for chariot wars.

The Battle of Mingtiao by Shang Tang, the Battle of Muye by Shang King, and the Advanced chariot troops played a decisive role. Meng Tian did not believe that the so-called benevolence and righteousness could truly replace a regime, and the final contest still depends on the military victory or defeat.

Meng Tian’s vision in the future believed that chariots would sooner or later withdraw from the stage of history, and he always did not pay much attention to the chariot tactics of this era. Among the Qin army, the chariots and cavalry troops were equipped with many chariots. Meng Tian was once very puzzled. Why did Qin, the most advanced military state, not willing to give up its bulky chariots?

After the destruction of Zhao State, Meng Tian had in-depth exchanges with Li Xin, who was good at commanding the chariot and cavalry troops. When Li Xin was young, he also favored the cavalry troops, but after he joined the army, he was not as radical as Meng Tian, ​​but painstakingly studied the tactics of cavalry and chariots cooperating with the attack.

You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. This is what Li Xin evaluates to the chariot.

"Compared with pure cavalry rushing, fighting in the Central Plains, the effect of chariots rushing forward is greater."

As the Qin army's chariots gradually accelerated and then rushed at full speed, the dust raised up filled half of the sky, Meng Tian recalled the experience shared by Li Xin and was glad that he had changed his prejudice against ancient chariots.

When the cavalry had not yet fully grown up, the chariots of the classical era were comparable to the heavy tanks of later generations. A chariot plunged into the enemy's battle formation, and just smashed it, it would kill a large area.

No wonder when King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he easily defeated the temporary troops formed by King Zhou with his advanced chariots.

"In the future, we can still be equipped with an appropriate number of combat vehicles."

There are many restrictions on the use of chariots, but in the north, as long as the master general uses it well, it is far from the point where he needs to be eliminated immediately.

When Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty commanded the Battle of Mobei, he finally defeated the elite Xiongnu cavalry convened by Yizhixie Shanyu with his chariots.

Faced with the charge of the Hun cavalry, Wei Qing ordered the Han army to nail the chariot to the ground, forming a temporary city wall. The Han army relied on the city wall composed of the chariots to launch a war of attrition that they were good at, and wiped away the sharpness of the Huns.

"Crazy--"

As if a huge rock fell into the water, the Qin army's chariot suddenly hit the Wei army's round formation and smashed a cracked hole.

After the chariot, the followers rushed in along the gap opened by the chariot and fought with the Wei army.

In the long war practice, the ancient Chinese formed a complete chariot warfare tactic. Behind each chariot, they followed about seventy infantrymen and cooperated with the chariots to protect the soldiers on the chariot from being besieged by enemy infantry. The chariots were stagnant, and the infantry followed up to expand the results of the battle.

The coordinated tactics of tanks and infantry in later generations were inspired by the experience of chariot warfare in ancient China.

If Darius II could learn a little about the fur of ancient Chinese chariot warfare, how could he easily ruin his chariot troops when Gaugala was able to pass on the classic ancient warfare examples? When Meng Tian looked through the classic warfare examples, he admired Alexander's creativity and disdained the stupidity of Darius II.

Meng Tian looked at the Daliang city gate from time to time, but saw that the city gate was always closed without any movement.

The chief general of the Wei army was really calm.

Meng Tian organized the Qin army's attack formation in an orderly manner, and considered training the Qin army to attack the round formation, but on the other hand, there was a faint expectation in his heart. He hoped that the chief general of the Wei army would not calm down and sent troops to rescue him.

Old Chen's Gongshu Chong ignored Meng Tian's wishful thinking. He turned around silently, walked down the city wall, and never looked back to witness the end of this elite Wei army military soldiers.

Gong Shu Chong felt very sad when he went out of the city to fight and got such a result. He hoped that at such a price, Wang Zeng of Wei could completely cut off his intention to fight alone.

Since there will be no more Wei troops coming to rescue, Meng Tian will no longer have the patience to continue to waste.

"Li Bi's cavalry can now start peeling the garlic."

In private, Meng Tian insisted on the tactics of light cavalry not to contact, and was called "skinned skin" by his generals. He used bows and arrows and Qin crossbows to kill the enemy at a distance, and first solved the enemy on the periphery. If he stripped it layer by layer, he could not only annihilate the enemy, but his own casualties were insignificant. Using the metaphor of peeling the skin, it can be said to be a vivid and appropriate image.

The Wei army, lacking war horses and being in trouble, happened to allow Li Bi's light cavalry to use their specialty tactics.

After the orders were passed one by one, Meng Tian had nothing to do. He just needed to watch his generals fight to fight the enemy.

The heavy cavalry with Luo armor in front and behind rushed forward, and the light cavalry with Li Bi kept firing arrows behind. The battle formation of the Wei army was in turmoil and gradually became shaky.

"Fight to the end, and you will never surrender!"

Zhou Shi waved the long halberd in his hand, pulled and hooked, and killed a Qin army soldier who wanted to get close to him. His body was covered with blood, some of which were from Qin people and some of which were his own. He no longer remembers how many Qin people died at his hands.

The sun shines brightly, and it is almost noon. The hot sun shines on the battlefield, and a rich blood is roasted and blanched, floating in the air, and it cannot melt for a long time.

Zhou Shi took a deep breath and absorbed the strength in his body. He had never thought of leading his army to surrender. Zhou Shi's family, who have been a martial soldier for generations, have already been integrated into his bones with the Qin people.

It is precisely because Zhou Shi had the will to die that it infected the Wei army around him, and the shaky Wei army formation did not collapse.

Meng Tian rode on the horse and frowned slightly.

Meng Tian admired Zhou's martial spirit very much, but he did not have a sense of mutual appreciation. Zhou City was killing the soldiers under Meng Tian's command. Such mutual appreciation made the soldiers under his command think in their hearts.

"hiss--"

The war horse under his crotch seemed to feel Meng Tian's intentions, raised his head and let out a long cry.

I haven't charged in a long time, and the horse's hooves can no longer stand the loneliness.

Meng Tian stroked the mane of the war horse with one hand and pulled out the ring-headed knife from his waist with the other hand. Regardless of Meng Hu's surprise in his eyes, the tip of the knife pointed forward: "Two and three sons, follow me to charge, target, Wei army chief general!"
