Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 215 Wang Ben's art of war, the advantage of Qin's army

When the son Fusu's troops were fighting with the Donghu cavalry, it was impossible for the main force of the Qin army and the Yan army to have a peaceful life there. Wang Ben ordered Li Xin, the deputy general, to lead the chariot troops to attack.

On the regular battlefield, chariot soldiers are naturally not an auxiliary unit of cavalry like Young Master Fusu, but the main force on the battlefield second only to crossbowmen.

Even because the seats on the chariot soldiers are basically veterans with military merits, the status of the chariot soldiers in Qin is not comparable to that of crossbowmen.

Li Xin led the chariot soldiers and covered the infantry and began to attack the Yan army. Qin Chi, the general of the Yan army, naturally also started to fight, and he was less timid than the chariot soldier Qin Chi.

The chariot soldiers of the Qin State are veterans with military merits, while the chariot soldiers of the Yan Army are composed of various minor nobles and their family soldiers. Now they must fight to the death for the survival of the Yan State.

It is said that the old nobles of various countries under the rule of the Qin State did not live very well, and their land and territories would be taken back by them, which was a heavy blow to all nobles.

The aristocrats without their territories and people have nothing left. They must unite under the banner of Yan Wangxi and work hard to defend their families.

So at the moment of fighting, Li Xin was a little surprised why the Yan army, who was vulnerable before, became so brave today.

After all, Li Xin led the team in the first war to destroy the Yan State, and he knew the weaknesses of these Yan State soldiers even better than Wang Ben.

But today's Yan State soldiers are really different. I don't know if they were driven to a dead end, but they were able to fight Qin State chariot soldiers on a par in the first round of battle.

But that's all. The training and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Qin State have never been compared with those of the soldiers of the Yan State who just started fighting on the spur of the moment.

After the first confrontation between the chariot soldiers, Qin Chi found that his men were relatively exhausted, and hurriedly waved the military flag and blew the bugle to call them back.

What is strange is that the chariot soldiers led by Li Xin did not pursue deeply, but were also withdrawn by Wang Benmingjin. Li Xin laughed and mocked and said, "Withdraw!"

However, Qin Chi could not give up so easily. He looked at the Donghu cavalry and Qin cavalry fighting in the north. Although he could not clearly see the situation of the battle, with the numerical advantage of the Donghu cavalry and their proficiency in horseback kung fu, it should not be a big problem. .

Qin Chi also thought that the cavalry sent by Wang Ben to stop Donghu were death squads, but this was not the case. The Donghu cavalry was actually at a disadvantage in the north. If the numerical advantage was not too great, they might have been pushed back by the Qin army.

But Qin Chi didn't know that he wanted to hold back the Qin army now, and then the Donghu cavalry came from the north and surrounded the Qin army from both sides.

So he began to wave the military flag, ready to let the infantry go out to attack, but unfortunately the bow and crossbow of Yan State were not perfect, and the Qin army was far away from them.

Seeing that the Yan army began to send out infantry, Wang Ben smiled and touched his beard, and then asked a captain to lead his infantry unit to prepare for the attack.

However, Wang Ben ordered to wait for the Yan army on the opposite side to attack first. He wanted to see if Qin Chi had any new tactics on the spot, so now was not the time to take the initiative to attack.

Until the soldiers of the Yan Army attacked, Wang Ben didn't see any changes in them, and the soldiers of the Yan State could not obtain land and titles through military exploits like the soldiers of the Qin State.

Therefore, the attack of the soldiers of the Yan Army seemed very lifeless, and every move seemed to be based on the officers and supervisors behind them, otherwise they would not want to risk their lives.

Wang Ben shook his head, it seems that he still thinks too much about Qin Chi.

He waved his hand, but the military flag that lit up was not the military flag commanding the infantry to attack, but commanding the crossbowmen to string the arrows. Naturally, there were not a few bows and crossbows equipped by a hundred thousand Qin soldiers, and there were even a lot of bows.

Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the moment Wang Ben waved the flag, flying towards the Yan army as if covering the sky and covering the sun.

The infantry of the Yan army is not like the infantry of the Qin army. The soldiers have undergone some professional training. They have seen so many arrows there, densely packed like locusts.

But what the locusts harvested was their food, what the arrows harvested was their life, and the densely packed arrows penetrated their bodies by themselves.

Many infantry were frightened and fled backwards, but they were directly hacked and killed by the officers and soldiers who supervised the battle, so they could only bite the bullet and charge.

Wang Ben continued to order the units that can continue to shoot bows and arrows to fire another round, and those who are slow to wind like Zhang Zhang can retreat to prepare for the next battle.

After the crossbowmen fired the second round of arrows, Wang Ben ordered the infantry captain to go up to let the Yan people understand that there was also a gap between the infantry.

"Wind!" the infantry captain shouted, and began to attack with his infantry.

With the help of the military merit system, Qin soldiers never had any rivals on the frontal battlefield. Even the elite Wei soldiers were wiped out in front of the Qin warriors who were more numerous and more willing to fight.

What's more, the infantry trained by this group of farmers, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin army, these people are more like military exploits who can walk.

So the result of the battle between the two sides must be a one-sided massacre. Even Yan general Qin Chi didn't react, and the front line of the Yan army's infantry was already defeated.

It's not that Qin Chi doesn't know the gap between Qin and Yan, but Qin has a military merit system, what does Yan have, a cold and miserable land?
Now he can only pin his hopes on the Donghu cavalry in the north. He recruited his own soldiers and said, "Go and check, what is the situation with the Donghu people in the north? Why haven't they encircled them yet?"

"Obey!" After receiving the order, the soldiers hurriedly drove away to the north.

In order to hold back the Qin army, Qin Chi could only order without authorization: "Those who kill the Qin army soldiers will be rewarded with land and money. All officers and soldiers are asked to do their best!"

But this kind of reward is not something that Qin Chi can say immediately. The amount of land, money, and even where the land is rewarded have to be considered.

What's more, are these Yan nobles really willing to give the land to these farmers who are soldiers?

So Qin Chi's encouragement was like a stone falling into the sea, except for the soldiers and nobles around him, there were not many soldiers cheering.

Seeing the soldiers of the Qin army getting stronger and stronger, and the soldiers of the Yan army retreating steadily, Qin Chi gritted his teeth and shouted: "The chariot soldiers come out!"

This time, he wanted to personally go into battle and lead his soldiers in a life-or-death showdown with the Qin army. He blew the horn to disperse the Yan army's infantry on the front line. Qin Chi led the chariot troops and began to attack the Qin army's infantry.

But the experienced Wang Ben naturally saw through Qin Chi's every move. He continued to wave the military flag and asked the Qin army infantry in front to disperse in units of tens.

It's just that even if they disperse, the morale of the infantry of the Yan army and the infantry of the Qin army are completely different. The infantry of the Yan army is as happy as recovering a life, while the infantry of the Qin army regrets not getting more military exploits.
