Chapter 252: An Unexpected Start

Zhao State, the second largest power in the world after Qin, although adjacent to Qiang Qin, but firmly blocked Qin in the west, making Qin Wulie's plan to conquer the Central Plains again and again, such a big country, the prosperity of the army, far better than the Yan State, even if it is a private army under the rule of a big nobleman in the country, its army is also very considerable. Zhao Qi, the general who commanded the army to fight, won the trust of King Zhao, and the private army under his rule was at its peak, just the county guard private army, it was maintained at 30,000, plus the young and strong people who were recruited by Lingui, this time Zhao Qi poured out the nest, and a total of almost 50,000 people were mobilized, plus the standing army of Zhao State commanded by Zhao Guang, Yan Zhao War, Zhao State used a total of nearly 100,000 troops.

Zhao Qi really didn't put the Yan army in his eyes, let alone the Yan miscellaneous army on the flank.

"Even if I am young and strong in Yan Kingdom, after wearing armor and taking on the battle, I don't know how much stronger I am than the so-called county soldiers like Yan thieves!" Under the banner, Zhao Qi, who was wearing armor, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the Yan army on the flank, and said with a smile.

"But General, you still used our 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 elites, isn't it a bit of a fuss!" Beside him, a member of the department greeted him with a smile.

"The lion fights the rabbit, and you should do your best!" Zhao Qi said: "Our enemy is Jiang Dawei in front, but when we defeated Jiang Dawei, there was a mosquito around us that was always buzzing and it was quite annoying, destroy these miscellaneous soldiers, let us deal with Jiang Dawei without distraction!"

"These miscellaneous soldiers, when the drum is down!" The general laughed, "General, you see, our cavalry has begun to charge."

Zhao Qi didn't turn his head, "A group of lions went to slaughter sheep, what is there to see, beat the drums, march, and attack Jiang Dawei."

In the earth-shattering drums, the Zhao army was like Mount Tai pressing the top, slowly advancing forward, and farther away, the war drums of the Yan army also sounded without showing weakness, and the soldiers of Yuyang County shouted to meet them.

Gao Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Jun, who was rushing towards his position like a violent wind and rain, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and in front of his eyes, it seemed that when he fought with Arenda last year, Arenda pounced on his position without any scruples, and then fell to the ground one after another under the rain-like arms and crossbows.

"Come on, come on, let me surprise you." He muttered.

The scene of thousands of cavalry charging at the same time, in the eyes of the soldiers of these counties in the Yan Kingdom, it is not a great visual impact, how have they ever seen such a scene, the hooves of the horses like thunder hit their ears like thunder, the cavalry like the wind made them just be destroyed by the fighting spirit that they had just been puffed up like the sun melted snow, the tight formation began to loosen, the buzzing noise began to sound, and many people involuntarily began to retreat.

Flesh and blood, how to block the onslaught of cavalry. The soldiers swallowed their saliva with difficulty and stepped back step by step.

"County Lieutenant, look!" In the center of the position, the infantry saw the retreat of the soldiers on both sides, their faces changed slightly, and they reminded Gao Yuan in a low voice.

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly, "This is something that can't be helped, a bunch of rookies who have never fought before, let alone seeing the cavalry charge, even if they see the infantry charging, they will be cowardly, come, let our brothers make an example and show them. Xiao Yanzi."

Yan Haibo strode out, the big knife on his back was not unsheathed, but he was carrying a standard spear in his hand, he stood in the middle of the front row of the line, and shouted, "Lift!"

Hundreds of spears slanted towards the stinging and stabbing out, forming a forest of spears in an instant.

"Enter!"

The guns took three steps forward. Behind them, Naha held his crossbow in his hand and raised his hand, "Lift!"

A hundred crossbows were held up steadily.

"Definitely!" Naha aimed at a cavalryman. The crossbowmen on his left and right, each looking for their own target.

The infantry rode on horses, bows in their hands, and behind him, a hundred cavalry stood silently, now was not the time for them to attack, these cavalry, like their horses, were battle-hardened, and no matter how chaotic the environment was, they were not moved in the slightest, and some of the cavalry even had time to take out a handful of beans from their pockets and stuff them into their horses' mouths.

The panic on the left and right flanks became stronger than before as the cavalry got closer and closer, and cracks had appeared in the originally tight formation, and if it weren't for the neighing and roaring of the officers, these miscellaneous soldiers might have turned around and ran away.

Gao Yuan choked the ground, drew his sword and raised it high, and roared angrily: "Kill!"

In the center of the battlefield, more than 1,000 Fufeng soldiers broke out in unison. This shout was deafening and murderous, and with this roar of killing, the roar of the crossbow suddenly sounded throughout the audience.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows passed through the gaps in the gun forest, like black lightning bolts, and rushed straight at the rushing cavalry. This is the first time that the arm-drawn crossbow has appeared on the battlefield of the Central Plains.

The sound of the line is endless, the cavalry who rushed to the front planted their horses headlong, and the cavalry behind did not hesitate at all, and continued to destroy the horse forward, in their cognition, there is only one kind of bow and crossbow with this range, that is, the bed crossbow, but the rate of fire of the bed crossbow is extremely slow, one shot, the second shot, it takes a long time, and this time is enough for them to rush to the front of the opponent's formation, most of the opponent's defense line has begun to loosen, just need to rush over, the overall situation has been decided, not to mention, at this time, behind their own back, Five thousand foot soldiers are coming in formation, and when the foot soldiers arrive at the battlefield, they should complete the cutting, defeat, and scattering of these Yanyan miscellaneous soldiers, so that the infantry behind them can easily clean up the scattered miscellaneous soldiers.

When the sound of the graft sounded again, the general of the cavalry of the Zhao State couldn't believe his eyes, a wave of crossbow arrows just fell, and the second wave followed like a shadow.

"It's not a bed crossbow!" He screamed.

This is indeed not a bed crossbow, but the generals of Zhao State only understood this truth after paying hundreds of cavalry corpses, the cavalry charged into formation, and the two wings were still advancing forward at this time, but the middle, that is, the thickest part of the cavalry formation, was shot out of a deep concave.

The crossbow bolts fired non-stop, the cavalry kept falling, and the momentum of the attack was stopped in an instant.

Meng Chong and Xu Yuan's eyes widened, looking at this incredible scene, ecstasy came to their hearts, they brandished big knives, scurrying between their subordinates, and shouted loudly: "Do you see it, do you see it, Zhao Jun is vulnerable, give me a line, raise a gun, take a step back, kill, archers, archers, shoot me, keep shooting!"

The cavalry in the middle was slaughtered, and the speed of the cavalry on both flanks suddenly slowed down, which gave the soldiers on both flanks a chance to reorganize.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Meng Chong's little white face had already become Guan Gong's face at this time, brandishing a big knife, roaring and jumping around.

Xu Yuan's inverted eyebrows were upturned at this time, and a pair of triangular eyes were several times larger than usual, "Sons, kill them all, and we will be able to go home alive. Kill, kill, kill!"

The army on the gentle slope actually began to advance forward, facing the cavalry, they were advancing.

As soon as the infantry lifted the reins of his horse, the saber flashed an arc of light in the air, "Erlang, follow me!" The horse was like a swimming dragon, flashing out of the formation, just jumping out of the array, the infantry was already opening the bow and leading the string, and with a buzz, a Zhao cavalry who was lucky enough to dodge the shot of the crossbow fell off the horse with a bang.

A hundred Fufeng cavalry rushed out, a hundred longbows were drawn, and shot.

Behind them, a hundred crossbows had already changed directions at this time, and began to shoot at the cavalry of the Zhao army on the other side.

The development of the war is not at all like Zhao Qi's imagination, in his imagination, these miscellaneous soldiers should go down in one go.

The fierce resistance of the soldiers of Yanguo County also far exceeded Jiang Dawei's expectations, and Zhou Yu beside him smiled meaningfully, "Gao Yuan, it's really good." After saying this, he turned his horse's head, "Jiang Junshou, let's fight, drag Zhao Qi, the longer the better, the longer you delay, the more sure we will be that we will defeat his main force."

Zhou Yu beat the horse and walked away, Jiang Dawei raised his eyes to look at the chaotic battlefield in the distance, spat fiercely, and pulled out his waist knife, "Prepare for battle!" He roared loudly.

Yuyang Jing'an, the war between Yan and Zhao officially kicked off, and at this time, Jicheng was still calm, but under the calm, there was an undercurrent of Taoism surging silently.

In the middle of the well, in a remote room. Although the sun was shining outside, it was extremely dark in this room, and Cao Tianci was sitting at the table, handing over the files to the more than ten men in the room.

"It's all your new name, origin, and excuse, after you memorize him, destroy it immediately, and then set off to these places, in the shortest possible time, learn the local dialect, be familiar with the geography and people there, and it's best to make a few good friends who can put your heart to heart, and then return to Jicheng, Boss Zhang will arrange a new place for you. Remember, from now on, forget your original name, your origin, everything you originally had, you just need to remember one thing, you are a soldier of the high county captain, you are a member of the wolf pack."

"Understood!" More than ten men bowed together as a salute.

"This is a secret point of contact for our wolves, and there will be people here waiting for you to come back in the future.!" Cao Tianci waved his hand. Let's go, I hope to see you reappear in Jicheng as soon as possible, under a new identity."

More than ten people left this dim hut in turn, Cao Tianci stood up, he was leaving, he was going to rush to the front line of Yuyang, to the side of Lieutenant Gao.

The door was knocked gently, the rhythm was extremely peculiar, and when the door was opened, a familiar face appeared in front of Cao Tianci, which was also a member of the party he brought, but this one had been taken away by Zhang Yi and placed in Xianyun Building on an errand.

"Why are you here, what's wrong?" Cao Tianci was slightly surprised.

"My lord, shopkeeper Zhang asked me to inform you, Miss Ye Jing'er and Lord Ning Zecheng's daughter suddenly appeared in Xianyun Tower together, accompanied by Miss Cao Li'er!" The tone of the person who came was hurried.

"What did you say?" Cao Tianci was surprised and delighted. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
