The will of the great people is a state of mind that is difficult to describe, and when they encounter any accidents or difficulties, they may retreat, but the willpower of the nation as a great nation will make them rise head-on under the conditions permitted.
The resilience and even willpower of a country's citizens are the most basic psychological qualities that determine whether the country will be strong or not, and daring to show the sword in the face of the enemy is the most basic psychological quality.
For example, if the widows of a small country feel that it is difficult in a war, even if they can win even if they fight a little, they will subconsciously choose to retreat, especially when they are at war with a big country, they will be weak first.
In fact, the confidence in a person's heart can determine the fate of many times, if you change to the country's army, how much support will there be behind you, or whether there will be anyone to avenge you after you are killed, then how strong willpower you will exert on the battlefield.
To put it simply, an army that has won many battles, they will have the belief that they are undefeated in the process of continuous victory, and they will be extremely fierce and fast at the same time, even if they are at a disadvantage, they still firmly believe that victory will belong to their side, and there will be no confidence in their hearts and weak hands and feet, resulting in only six or seven points despite having a lot of strength.
The current Central Plains hegemon people of the Qian, they just have enough confidence, and when they encounter a strong enemy, they will not be like those miscellaneous people who have not fought first, but they still dare to fight knowing that the armor and equipment are not as good as people.
As long as there is no obvious disadvantage, the soldiers of the Qiang nationality dare to fight with their heads down, just because they believe that they will be the victorious side.
If the ordinary troops of the Han army faced the Qiang army, the two sides would initially drum up the strength to kill each other, but after the battlefield casualties began to increase dramatically, there would be hesitation, especially when the number of ordinary Han troops was lower than the number of the Qiang soldiers.
The problem was that it was not the ordinary Han army that was sent out to fight, but the Praetorian Guard under the direct command of Liu Yan.
Liu Yan, who was far away in Fenggao, was looking for a high attic at this time, and he would drink tea and chat with people for a few words, but when he got to the back, he asked the people around him to step back and focus on playing remote control.
On the battlefield west of Fucheng, both sides were engaged in cavalry, and the battle was in a state of motion from the beginning, and the sound of horses' hooves and people's shouts could be heard far away.
The battlefield was divided into two parts, 700 Han cavalry and about 3,000 Shijie Zhao troops rushed out of Fucheng, and on the other side, 2,300 Han cavalry faced the 4,000 Shijie Zhao army led by Liu Hun in advance.
The battle on the edge of Fucheng was a real collision, and after the two staggered and chiseled each other, the loss of the 700 Han cavalry should have been about 100, and the result was that the number of defenders coming out of Fucheng was directly reduced to 2,300.
They are adjusting their horses' heads and will soon have a third collision.
Liu Hun's Shijie Zhao army was more depressed, they were chasing the tail of the Han cavalry, chasing after the three hundred archers who had been shot all the way by the Han army, and the continuous casualties should be about four hundred, but the Shijie Zhao army still had not touched a single hair of the pursuing Han army.
Ma Qiu, who was on the periphery and was about to intercept the retreat of the Han army, saw very clearly that the running of the Han army's archers did not stop at all, which meant that if they were chasing behind, they would be shot all the time, unless they could be caught The Han army is just one person and one horse, but what kind of breed is their horse Ma Qiu said that he couldn't see it clearly and didn't understand: the war horse has thick bones, and it looks like it has the blood of the Western Regions, but the horse breed with big bones in the Western Regions shouldn't have more than enough impact, but it is very poor in endurance That's it, the war horses of the system cavalry don't make it clear what kind of horse they are, anyway, it's not the various war horses that are known.
The cavalry is actually extremely shabby for one person and one horse, and the disadvantages will be more obvious.
Under normal circumstances, it is reasonable for a cavalryman to have two horses, just like Ma Qiu brought six thousand cavalry to have at least one person and two horses, and some wealthy cavalry also have four horses.
In fact, the cavalry of the Han army fighting outside Fucheng was also one man and two horses, but their spare horses were only for pack goods and were temporarily left on the side of the auxiliaries.
Ma Qiu found out, and the Han cavalry who chased Zhai Bin saw that there was no sign of breaking through and leaving, so he should think about whether to approach the battlefield and compress the activity space of the Han cavalry, or the group of Shijie Zhao troops led by Liu Hun had been shot all the time but did not counterattack, and it would be a serious blow to the morale of the army if it continued.
Just when Ma Qiu was still weighing, the Han cavalry that was fighting with the defenders of Fucheng collided again, which was a kind of high-speed hedging of the cavalry of the two sides, the cavalry staggered past each other, or the cavalry did not control the war horse and collided directly, looking at it It was an extremely fierce fighting scene.
Melee cavalry fights are just like that, swinging their weapons at each other, and each staggered is able to deal damage in such a brief moment.
At this time, the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon will be extremely important, if the weapon is sharp, it is a moment to directly let the opponent stand up, and the poor weapon may only cause injuries or leave a gap in the opponent's leather armor.
For the Shijie Zhao army that came out of Fucheng, the casualties of the collision with the Han cavalry were larger, and the more annoying thing was the Han archers who were cruising outside.
Not only were they suffering from the collision of the melee cavalry, but their flanks were also being shot endlessly by the Han archers, and they would be damaged by a battle of one to seven, and there were not a few people who died under the arrows.
"Those idiots aren't much smarter."
Zhai Bin simply stood and spoke without backache: "If the troops are superior, they will not divide a part to chase and kill the archers."
The city guard of Fucheng is on the battlefield, Zhai Bin is outside the battlefield, and it is not the same thing at all to see as far as he can see.
If you come again, the city guard of Fucheng said that he had seen Liu Hun chase and shoot all the way, so he would choose to kill the Han cavalry who fought in close quarters first, as long as the Han cavalry with less than four hundred melee cavalry was killed, it would be a victory.
Ma Qiu, who was in the interception line, finally chose to lead the army to approach and compress the activity space of the Han cavalry.
I don't know when, some figures appeared in the forest where Ma Qiu was staying, it was Huan Wen with a small number of officers observing the battlefield.
Looking into the forest, there were soldiers standing still with horses, and there were more than three thousand of them.
This piece of forest is very widely distributed, although some locations are spaced open spaces, but the overall area is definitely about ten miles away, Huan Wen's team came from the direction of Snake Hill, and the order was to receive three thousand Janissaries, but what I didn't expect was to come faster.
Xie An's figure soon appeared beside Huan Wen.
He was the commander of the cavalry of Huan Wen, and when he reached the edge of the forest, he was engrossed in observing the battlefield.
"It's the first time I've seen such a number of cavalry fights."
Huan Wen looked a little excited, turned his head to look at Xie An, and asked, "Changshi, the order we got is to respond, but there are no restrictions that allow us not to join the battle."
Xie An knew what Huan Wen was thinking, it was nothing more than that he should not let go when he could make meritorious contributions, their group of factions belonging to the south of the Yangtze River came to the Han Department a little later, and if they didn't try their best to seize the opportunity, it would be difficult to catch up with the rest of the people and become the core of the Han Ministry.
Xie An thought about it very seriously, weighed it again, and said, "I am sure to join the battle again." ” It is one thing to make meritorious service, but it is another thing to cause unnecessary losses.
"It's worthy of the Praetorian Guard" Huan Wen's eyes were a little salivating, first snorted a few times, and then said: "The number is at a disadvantage, but it looks unhurried." ” Xie An nodded in agreement, but he couldn't comment more, who made him really not so good at riding battles.
The Han cavalry, which had been chiseled again, had been reduced to less than three hundred, and after they had chiseled through, they met the archers on the flank, and then turned around in a gallop, being chased by the cavalry of the defenders of Fucheng in the rear, trying to join up with the other friendly forces.
The site left behind by the battle was littered with the corpses of men and horses.
These corpses looked very bad, no matter what injuries they had received before, the people who fell off their horses were trampled back and forth by the hooves of thousands of horses, and the corpses of people turned into rags, and some of the dead war horses were also pierced through the intestines and internal organs and flowed all over the ground.
In addition to the corpses of men and horses, the ground was also full of weapons and arrows, and the roots of the grass that had just sprouted green buds were trampled and turned up before they could grow, and there was nothing to do with them when they were drifting in the wind in spring.
Ma Qiu's current situation is to choose the whole army to press, and he is excited to see that another Han cavalry chooses to join the brigade: in this way, our army will win the first battle If you don't count the battle loss ratio and just look at who broke away from the battle first, it was indeed the Shijie Zhao army that won, that is, the price of their victory was a little higher, and the cavalry of the Qian tribe who went out to fight was lost 400, and about 600 were lost by the Zahu who lined up on the flank to block the arrows.

"It's supposed to be a one-to-five exchange."
Zhai Bin found that his body was trembling a little, and said very happily: "Fortunately, I didn't participate in the battle just now, or we will definitely be the ones who are not arranged on the flank." ” Most of the Ding Ling people who watched the battle were also trembling, they participated in the war in Mobei is not like this, there is no ten days and a half a month of entanglement with each other, and then it is to consume time by riding and shooting each other, and when the cavalry collides with each other and fights, it is the decisive battle, which will be such a scene from the beginning.
Zhai Bin took a deep breath, tried his best to control his body from shaking, and only yelled after a long time: "It's time for us to play", he felt that this one of his camp could win, and he could get back what he had discarded before.
The cavalry of the Han army who completed the rendezvous, they were left behind the archers, and the melee cavalry rushed towards the position where the Zhao army of Shijie was located.
Ma Qiu found that when the Han cavalry rushed towards him, he was shouting "The time has come to show the bravery of our people", and pointed forward with a spear: "Kill" In fact, on the battlefield full of horses' hooves, no matter how much a person roars, the position of the voice is limited, and he can regard Ma Qiu's roar as his own courage.
Ma Qiu also had to be brave on his own, he had just been reappointed, he had too many concerns, completing Shi Hu's will was the first priority, and then the army brought out could not be damaged too much, which was in conflict with Shi Jie's desire to consolidate the country. said that it was "killing", but Ma Qiu did not drive the horse forward, as a military master, he would not personally participate in the fight if it was not necessary, it was an extremely upside-down thing, the commander should have the appearance of a commander, and it was serious to command the troops honestly.
The first large-scale collision between the two armies on the battlefield of Fucheng took place, when about 2,200 Han cavalry and about 4,000 cavalry of the Qian tribe collided face to face.
On the other side, the five hundred Han archers made a small detour to block the cavalry that came out of Fucheng.
This kind of spacing can be extremely irritating, especially if you can't catch up.
"It's a decisive battle" Xie An looked at Huan Wen solemnly and said, "Captain, if you intend to participate in the war, it is at this time." ” Huan Wen didn't know that the forest they were staying in was originally used by Ma Qiu as an ambush, and Shijie Zhao Jun was exploring the surrounding situation, after all, there was a term called black under the lamp, but this forest was subconsciously forgotten by Shijie Zhao Jun.
But he can confirm one thing, that is, Shijie Zhao Jun should not know about their existence, otherwise Shijie Zhao Jun should also leave a reserve team, not rush up.
"Wait, wait" Huan Wen is not familiar with cavalry warfare, he has made up for many times when he accepts the command of cavalry, and his observation of the situation has been cultivated for a long time.
"It's not time for us to play yet," he said. ” On the battlefield, a violent collision has taken place.
After the cavalry of the two sides collided face to face, the frequent screams and neighing of the horses almost covered the roar of the horses' hooves, the red and black armored cavalry and the colorful cavalry collided from both sides, and the naked eye could see the red wave crushing the colorful side, the two sides staggered and passed by the red wave of large-scale rush, and the colorful side was scattered with cavalry missed.
If the cavalry starts to hedge head-on, it is really no different from the decisive battle, Ma Qiu couldn't help frowning when he saw that his cavalry and the Han cavalry were suffering under this kind of collision: unlike the armor cavalry, but he didn't expect that the light cavalry would suffer such a big loss from a collision of this scale.
After the two sides rushed to each other, the center endured heavy losses and continued to advance, but the left and right wings were like arms to make a "embrace" maneuver, if you look down on a trident from a high altitude, it will be formed.
"It's a little bad" Huan Wen can look at it very carefully, he said: "If you let the enemy form an encirclement, what you see is whether the front can be chiseled, and if you can't, you will be blocked." ” Xie An said urgently: "We are responsible for the military affairs that we have to deal with. ” "Wait."
Huan Wen almost gritted his teeth: "The Praetorian Guards are known for their tenacity and fear of death, they can hold on a little longer." ” The Shijie Zhao army on the battlefield still has a reserve, and Huan Wen also saw the tempting Da Xu Dividing line Friends, let's get some recommended votes, it's good:
