"Prepare the chariots!"
Chen Sheng ordered.
Wu Guang opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut.
He wanted to remind Chen Sheng that the Qin cavalry seemed to be different from what he usually saw.
The color of the armor worn by the Qin army before this seemed to be different from what he had seen before.
Generally, the better armored soldiers of the Qin people wore bronze armor, while the more ordinary ones only wore leather armor.
Even so, it was not something that ordinary soldiers were qualified to wear.
Only those who were above the second rank of nobility were qualified to wear leather armor and bronze armor.
The Qin army had the military merit system and dressed strictly according to the title. Therefore, just by looking at their clothes, Wu Guang felt that the Qin army opposite him was not easy to deal with.
On the other hand, he had originally planned to attack the city, but now he was going to engage in a field battle. Should he reformulate his plan?
However, Chen Sheng had already moved the chariots to the front, preparing to launch the first round of charge.
Sighing, Wu Guang felt that they were already on the verge of battle. Even if the commander made a small mistake, he had to carry it out.
Otherwise, it would cause even greater losses.
With a single command, the Revolutionary Army's war chariots began to charge.
Meng Tian laughed coldly as she watched the chariots charge forward.
He waited for the other side to charge past half of the road before ordering the cavalry to make a detour.
From the information sent back by the Black Ice Platform, Meng Tian had already learned that Chen Sheng's so-called six or seven hundred chariots were all pulled by two horses.
This was also the reason why Meng Tian dared to use the heavy cavalry to attack.
Before this, the chariot had to be pulled by at least three horses to ensure that the wooden wheel and the three people on it could be pulled.
Although there were chariots with two horses, they would not be used more than twice, and their mobility was poor.
Now that she was facing Chen Sheng's antique cars, Meng Tian naturally did not take them seriously.
In just a few seconds, Meng Tian's cavalry had bypassed the charging chariots.
However, Chen Sheng seemed to be prepared for this. The area covered by the chariots was huge, and he had already made arrangements.
As long as Meng Tian's cavalry bypassed the chariot, the archers on the flanks would immediately shoot.
Before the Revolutionary Army's cavalrymen met, there were at least two rounds of volleys. More than 4000 arrows were fired at Meng Tian's 2000 cavalrymen.
According to his calculations, he could at least cause the Qin army to lose more than 500 people.
In this way, when the cavalry clashed, even if they exchanged 2 for 1 with the Qin army, it was completely acceptable.
This way, they would increase the losses of the Qin army by more than half.
Immediately after, a round of targeted salvo was launched, and the spearmen behind took care of the remaining Qin soldiers.
Even if the Qin army retreated after a round of confrontation, the chariots in the front had already completed their turn and could directly turn back to meet them.
Therefore, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had different roles. He sat in a four-horse carriage and led the charge.
He had Wu Guang command the cavalrymen and archers to coordinate the battle, and finally arranged for the spearmen to charge.
Although he had already made sufficient mental preparations, the battlefield was ever-changing and anything was possible.
However, when Chen Sheng's coachman turned around, the scene in front of him completely stunned him.
They had thought that with the several thousand archers on the flanks, even if all sorts of factors were taken into account, Chen Sheng and the others would be able to deal at least 10 - 20% damage to the Qin army.
But when he turned around, he happened to see the two to three hundred Qin soldiers at the front line being covered by arrows.
Chen Sheng was just about to call out.
An unbelievable scene appeared.
The Qin army that was covered by the volley of arrows still charged towards Wu Guang's camp as if nothing had happened.
This was simply unbelievable. He was so shocked that he gritted his teeth!
"Impossible!" Chen Sheng cried out in shock. How could there be no damage at all?
Those two rounds of arrows didn't even make a single Qin soldier fall off their horses?
"General!" His coachman reminded him that now was not the time to be in a daze.
"Hurry up! Charge back!" Chen Sheng roared!
At this moment, he was no longer as high-spirited as when he came.
He even regretted that he shouldn't have attacked Chen County when he knew it was the Qin army's general Meng Tian.
Unfortunately, these chariots had been in disrepair for a long time, and their horsepower was insufficient. It was impossible to catch up with the cavalry in front.
Chen Sheng could only watch as Meng Tian led her troops and charged towards his Revolutionary Army cavalry.
Something that shocked everyone happened again!
The weapons of the Revolutionary Army did not seem to be able to cause any harm to the Qin Army.
The Qin army's heavy cavalry formed a conical formation and easily defeated the 1,000 cavalrymen.
There were less than 200 Revolutionary Army Cavalrymen who could still ride on horses.
The Revolutionary Army did not have stirrups, so they were completely defenseless when they fought with a spear in hand.
Even if someone could stab it accurately, it would be like scratching an itch for the Qin army. It would not cause any substantial damage.
Wu Guang's eyes widened as he approached the formation.
It was like a dream.
He saw the Qin army waving a blade-shaped weapon that he had never seen before.
It was the first time he had seen such a terrifying weapon.
It was able to instantly cleave apart the arm of a Revolutionary Army soldier who was holding a wooden shield.
At this moment, Wu Guang's mind was blank.
The Qin army had already charged into the spear formation in the front row.
As the blade flashed, Wu Guang thought of what he had said to Chen Sheng when he was discussing the rebellion against Qin.
They also thought of the scene where Zhang Liang had given them advice.
But now, before the blade fell, he revealed a bitter smile.
He was laughing at himself for overestimating himself…
" No..." Chen Sheng's chariot rushed to the front.
He had already seen his good brother Wu Guang get beheaded by the Qin army.
At this moment, he already knew that the situation was over. This uprising had actually been defeated just like that.
Facing the scattered Qin army, he wanted to shout for everyone to gather together.
However, they could only watch as the Qin army slaughtered the Revolutionary Army.
"General, let's retreat. The situation is over. It's not too late to escape now! If they retreated back to Qi County now, there was still something to do!”
A person who could drive a carriage for a general was not an ordinary person.
The carriage driver could tell that the Revolutionary Army had already failed. They were no match for the Qin Army.
Only by fleeing for their lives would they have a chance to make a comeback.
"..." Chen Sheng wanted to say no, but he held back.
In his opinion, failure was inevitable. Even if he escaped, he would only survive for a while.
The army was defeated like a landslide. After this defeat, there would be no chance for them to turn things around.
He now understood that Meng Tian had been waiting for them to come to him.
Looking at the Qin army's equipment and posture.
Even if their numbers were several times greater, they would not be able to cause any harm to Meng Tian.
Fortunately, his chariot was pulled by four horses, so it was faster than the other chariots and could shake off the pursuit of the Qin heavy cavalry.
Meng Tian had wanted to capture Chen Sheng alive, but seeing that she could not catch up, she gave up.
He calmly commanded the remaining troops to chase after the rebel army. Even the 1000 soldiers in Chen County opened the city gates and charged out.
Although they didn't gain much military merit from this victory, it was crucial to raise their morale.
The military merits of the Qin army and the head of an enemy soldier could be promoted to a Grade 1 Duke.
Killing five armorers would grant one a rank 2 title, while killing nine would grant one a rank 3 title.
As for the rank of nobility above rank 4, it was not based on the number of people killed, but on the performance of the team they led in battle. The premise was that they had to win.
This time, the Revolutionary Army were all nobodies, even though Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had promoted many officers.
There were not many people wearing armor, so the military merits of the lower ranks were pitifully few.
Meng Tian had already pulled her horse to a stop. She sneered as she looked in the direction Chen Sheng had fled.
As long as Chen Sheng didn't abandon the car and escape, the next intersection would definitely be taken by the Qin army!
Meng Tian could only hope that the Qin army would be more intelligent and capture the enemy commander with the four-horse chariot alive!
If they were dead, they would stink when they brought them back to Xianyang…
Kowtow, evaluation, monthly votes, thank you big shots!
