Chapter 44, Unstoppable

In this era, cavalry was not the mainstream on the battlefield. Because there were no high-bridge saddles and stirrups, it was very difficult to ride and shoot on horseback. Only the grassland tribesmen could do it easily, and only a few elites in the army could do it because they needed one hand. Holding the reins, it is very difficult for cavalry to control even long weapons. Under normal circumstances, they can only use long swords and short halberds for short combat. Therefore, the role of cavalry in this era is mainly to conduct reconnaissance, chase down defeated enemies, and play a supporting role on the battlefield. .

Now the cavalry captain of the Qin Army is attacking the rebel cavalry, which is against the cavalry tactics of this era, but he does not think that he is wrong in doing so. Tactics must also vary from person to person. If facing a powerful enemy, such an attack is naturally court death. But against the ragtag rebel army, only such assault tactics can achieve the greatest results.

The mistake of the Qin Army's cavalry commander completely cut off the vitality of the Qin Army's cavalry. The rebel army he faced may not be as powerful as the Qin army, but the bonus of equipment made the rebel army's combat effectiveness far exceed that of the Qin army.

The cavalry from both sides collided with each other, ten steps, five steps!
  "Kill!" Soldiers on both sides shouted loudly to drive away the fear in their hearts.

"Boom!" The cavalry from the two sides collided with each other, making a huge noise.

"Kill!" Xu Fan struck directly with his spear. The powerful impact caused Xu Fan's spear to pierce the leather armor of the camp commander and send the Qin Army's cavalry commander flying. After the Qin Army's cavalry commander fell off his horse, He spit out blood and died.

The fate of other Qin soldiers was not much different from that of the commander. Most of them were knocked off their horses by the rebel cavalry with long spears.

After one round, half of the Qin cavalry fell off their horses, while the rebels only had 5 casualties. This is the powerful impact brought by the stability of the double stirrups and the high bridge saddle, plus the inch of length brought by the long weapon brings every inch of strength. Even though the Qin soldiers' riding skills were more superb, the victorious side was still the rebels.

"Oh, oh, oh" Xu Fan led the rebel cavalry to turn their horses.

"Kill" Xu Fan shouted, taking the lead and continuing to charge towards the Qin cavalry 200 steps away, killing them hand-to-hand.

"Kill!" After a round of competition, the rebel cavalry was shocked by their powerful combat effectiveness, their morale became higher, and their charge became more unstoppable.

The Qin cavalry was overwhelmed by the rebel cavalry in fear.

North of Nanton County Gate.

Meng Shao frowned and looked to the west of Nanton County, because the cavalry had been stationed there for half an hour. He neither heard the shouts of death from within Nanton County nor saw the cavalry station returning with the escaped civilians. , this was beyond Meng Shao's expectation. Could there be an accident in the west of Nanton County? But with the strength of the rebels, he couldn't imagine what kind of accident could happen to his men. Could they be overpowered by hundreds of cattle and sheep?
  While Meng Shao was still thinking about whether to send a group of soldiers to explore the west of Nanton County, Meng Shao heard the roar of cavalry running again.

But what shocked him was that what came running towards him was not his Qin cavalry, but the rebel cavalry. He even saw the rebel leader Xu Fan at a glance.

"This is impossible!" Meng Shao said in shock.

He didn't believe that Great Qin's cavalry had been wiped out by the rebels within half an hour. Most of the rebel cavalry were clearly unsteady on horseback, so how could it be possible that the whole army of Great Qin's cavalry could be defeated?

"Kill!" Xu Fan pointed his spear at the Qin soldiers who were still fighting. Hundreds of rebel cavalry followed Xu Fan and charged towards the Qin soldiers.

Meng Shao's lieutenant general reacted quickly. He wanted to know the specific situation later, but now it was important to save his life. He shouted loudly: "Order the five hundred generals on the left to block the enemy, and the five hundred generals on the right turn around to support the left army. "

The Qin army lined up facing the northern city wall of Nanton County. This formation could have given full play to the Qin army's maximum attack power, but now Xu Fan came from the flank and something was wrong. Now the Qin army held the flank. Facing Xu Fan, they couldn't find a way to change the military formation, and they were about to be killed by Xu Fan's cavalry. Therefore, it is the wisest choice to change the formation now and face Xu Fan's cavalry head-on. The messenger quickly conveyed the order of the deputy general, and the 500 generals on the left of the Qin army quickly directed the soldiers to turn around. Xu Fan's cavalry charged too fast, and most of the Qin army were killed by the rebel cavalry before they had time to turn their spears. It's here.

The impact of the cavalry was already great, but it was still attacking from the flank of the Qin army. The impact reached its peak. The Qin army's infantry collapsed at the first touch. Xu Fan himself even rushed directly in front of the Qin army's 500 generals on the left and shot him Defeat the chariot.

"Five hundred generals are dead!" The soldiers of the Qin Army saw that their general died in the hands of Xu Fan, and their already low morale collapsed completely. The cavalry of the rebel army followed Xu Fan, the sharpest spear, and continued to tear apart the Qin Army's troops. The formation of 500 people was broken down bit by bit by the cavalry. Xu Fan led the rebel cavalry to directly defeat the left army of the Qin Army.

Faced with such sudden cavalry, Qin soldiers kept running for their lives. Even the Qin lieutenants and Meng Shao led their own soldiers to continuously kill the Qin army, which did not stop this trend.

"General, the left army has been defeated, let's run away!" The deputy general pulled Meng Shao towards the right army and fled for his life.

Instead, Xu Fan drove these Qin troops to defeat, and also wanted to take the opportunity to defeat the right army of the Qin army, and routed the thousands of soldiers of Da Qin under the Nanton City.

But although the Qin Army's left army was defeated, they also bought time for the Qin Army's right army. They completed the adjustment of the direction of the battle formation and formed a tight defensive formation.

The rebel cavalry had no way to take down the tortoise shell of the Qin army in a short period of time.

But at this moment, the Nanton City Gate opened, and 500 rebels formed a tight formation and rushed out of the city gate.

The person commanding this army was Wu Sheng who was on the city wall.

He and Deng Zong were monitoring every move of the Qin army on the city wall. They were still a little worried about Xu Fan's risky moves, but they never expected that the combat effectiveness would be improved by just adding stirrups and high-bridge saddles to the cavalry. Such a large and powerful Qin army cavalry was actually wiped out by its own cavalry within two rounds.

Then the rebel cavalry was even more courageous. Under the leadership of Xu Fan, they defeated the left army of the Qin army. It looked like the rebels could completely defeat the Qin army.

After the two of them discussed, they immediately decided that Wu Sheng would lead 500 rebels to support Xu Fan.

When Wu Sheng's support troops came to the battlefield, the Qin army faced a flanking attack. The Qin soldiers, whose morale had been greatly reduced because the left army was defeated, faced this situation. Many soldiers panicked.

Now they pointed the front of their formation towards the rebel cavalry, but their flanks were exposed to the rebel infantry.

"Come forward and kill all these Qin people!" Wu Sheng shouted.

"Kill all the Qin people." The rebel soldiers following Wu Sheng also charged forward with hatred in their eyes.

Yesterday, the Qin army drove their families to die. Their inner anger could not be suppressed for a long time. Now they unleashed all their anger and murderous intent on the Qin army. Under the control of their anger, the rebel soldiers burst out with unprecedented fighting power. As soon as the soldiers of both sides came into contact, the Qin army was beaten back steadily. In less than half a stick of incense, the last formation of the Qin army was also destroyed.
