Chapter 637: A Difficult Decision
"He won't die. The guy opposite is quite capable. But he's dead anyway, there's nothing more to say!" Li Que said nonchalantly.
"Ado, you have to be careful. I have a feeling the next attack from the Dinglings will be deadly!"
Li Que looked solemnly at the Dingling central army which was still in disarray. His expression was somewhat heavy.
After they wiped out the elite vanguard of the Dingling people, the Dingling people were actually in chaos but not dispersed. This proves that the other side still has at least one or two armies comparable to the ones just now. Only this can explain the current situation.
In other words, Li Que truly acknowledged the strength of the Dingling elite cavalry. If their numbers were too large, casualties would be inevitable.
Although they say they are not afraid of life and death, it does not mean that they do not care about the casualties in the battle.
Especially unnecessary losses are meaningless.
"It would be great if that guy Hua Zijian was here. Why did he have to separate our Xiliang Cavalry?" Fan Chou muttered.
"Stop nagging. The military advisor must have his own reasons for doing this!" Li Que glared at Fan Chou fiercely. Although he was also confused in his heart, there was no doubt that the Feixiong Army was the core of their Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The soldiers under their command can even be transformed into military soul soldiers without any damage, and can even provide additional military soul power.
However, under Li Ru's mobilization, Fei Xiong completely separated from the main force of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and they also separated from the main force of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
They can continuously recruit soldiers from the large army trained in Liangzhou, but Li Ru does not allow them to gather a large number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers to fight together.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry can gather 200,000 elite soldiers with more than 200 talents, and with the help of the Eternal Faith, transform all of these soldiers into a force at the level of the Royal Guards.
Could it be that they in Liangzhou were unable to gather this number of double-talented Xiliang Iron Cavalry?
Even if there is another elite force in Liangzhou competing with them for manpower, wouldn't it be easy to gather hundreds of thousands of talented Xiliang Iron Cavalry?
But Li Ru did not allow them to do so, and they did not quite understand it in their hearts.
It was obvious that collective combat was the advantage of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but Li Ru forced them to give up this advantage.
However, they didn't have time to think further, as the Dingling people began to attack!
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The Dingling King almost gritted his teeth. He never expected that the Han army would defeat their vanguard in such a way.
However, the Dingling were not made of clay, and Tujin Rongluo's sacrifice was meaningful. At least they had reacted now and successfully figured out the composition of the Han army on the opposite side.
Since the opponents are all cavalry, it's time to activate the cavalry's natural enemy!
You know, although cavalry is now an indispensable mainstream military force in war, the chariot has the most powerful charging power!
Although chariots were eliminated early due to their high terrain requirements and could not compete with cavalry, they became a theoretically perfect type of soldier.
But now in this kind of large-scale confrontation, when a breakthrough is needed, tanks come in very handy.
It is common sense that without interference from other arms and without camp defense, cavalry will never be able to defeat the chariots.
Five thousand chariots were lined up in a row, pulled by two oxen and three horses, with a driver and six warriors, announcing the return of the King of War.
Relying on the soldiers' more flexible movements on chariots than cavalry, the Dingling people showed off the ferocity of their chariots.
The warriors standing on the chariot can shoot with their feet on the ground. Although they cannot compare with the specialized archers, they still have considerable power.
At least Li Que and his men were certain that ordinary Qiang cavalry could not withstand the heavy rain of arrows.
"Chariots?" Fan Chou and others gasped when they saw the enemy appear. This type of troops, which had long been eliminated in the Central Plains due to its terrain shortcomings, seemed extremely ferocious at this moment.
Even they were shocked at the slightest when faced with the charging chariots.
But it only took them a moment to react.
"It's just something that was eliminated!" Zhang Ji sneered. Although he was amazed at the ferocity of the chariot, it was inevitable that the chariot would be eliminated.
Things that have been eliminated, even Zhang Ji and his men also have several ways to deal with the chariot corps.
"Xiu'er, launch the legion attack!"
Zhang Ji took over the command without hesitation, and then handed the Yunqi to Zhang Xiu.
Although the legion's attack could not kill many soldiers under the clouds, just destroying the terrain was enough to cause fatal damage to the chariots, which had been eliminated.
It can be said that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the prevalence of a hundred schools of thought and various systems has naturally led to the birth of various great forces.
Cutting through mountains and rivers is no longer a dream, and tanks will naturally be eliminated in such an environment.
Under Zhang Xiu's control, the legion attack version of Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix flew out of his hand.
Under the mobilization of clouds by the commander of the chariot corps, most of the corps' attacks were offset, but the rest were unsurprisingly vented onto the earth, making the originally flat battlefield instantly become full of ravines.
However, the Dingling people acted as if they did not see anything. They drove their chariots at a slight slowdown and rushed into the complex terrain. Then an astonishing scene appeared.
The wheels of hundreds of chariots seemed to have suddenly gained adhesion. No matter how fast they moved or how complex the terrain was, the enemy continued to advance at a charging speed.
The super strong tire grip allows the ups and downs of the chariot to be controlled within a very small range.
"Shoot !" Zhang Ji gave a new order in a panic, but the large shields on the chariots made it difficult for the arrows to pose a real threat to the Dingling people.
At the same time, the Dingling cavalry also began to cooperate with the chariots. The chariot corps' most ideal chariot-cavalry coordination was perfectly demonstrated by the Dingling people, who were ready to break through the current defense circle in one go and go directly to meet with Parthia.
The Dingling King knew very well that even if they fled now, they would not be able to stop the Han Dynasty from settling accounts with them. Moreover, so many of their people had died, and they had to get back at least some revenge.
Li Que and others were faced with a difficult decision.
There were two paths before them. One was to avoid the charge of the chariot legion, allowing the Dingling people to rush over unhindered and join Parthia, which would also break their undefeated image in the hearts of the Qiang people.
The second is to face the challenge head-on, rush forward and use your flesh and blood to fight the chariot head-on.
In the past, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had repeatedly boasted of being the charioteer among cavalry, but now they really want to compare who is more hardcore, them or the charioteers.
