The Tang army, who closely monitored the movements of the Qin army, did not accept it at night, and immediately reported to Zhao Xing that the Qin people had produced gunpowder and demonstrated it in front of the army, and cracked the Tang Tianlei. Zhao Xing stood there stunned for a long time, and finally could only sigh: "War gives birth to technology, truth." ”

"The Qin army continues to advance north, and we must seize Dingyang." With Zhao Xing's order, the three armies of the infantry and cavalry that converged together, and the whole army went south to seize Dingyang.

However, just when the army was heading south, the night did not receive an emergency report, and the reinforced Qin army had already entered Dingyang, and the king of Qin with 200,000 troops had already come out of Dingyang to the north, only ten houses away from him, that is, thirty miles.

Zhao Xing regretted that he had dragged his errands, so he shouldn't have stayed in Fushi, but as a result, he lost the opportunity to take the lead, and a battle with the Qin army on this great plain was inevitable.

Holding his clenched fists, he weighed it a few times, and puffed himself up: "The Qin army, the strongest army in the world, right, okay, let's have a duel, see if your army is strong, or my Tang army is invincible in the world." ”

Under the scorching sun, a black army spread across the vast plain and rose under the horizon, and the luxurious feast of the King of Qin hunted and flew in the morning breeze.

A silver-like army, in the dull and monotonous sound of drums, took neat steps, pressed over in the north, and the banner of the Tang Dynasty was red and red, guiding the soldiers forward.

The footsteps of an army of 400,000 made the earth tremble and the sun faded. The boundless murderous aura makes the ghosts and gods avoid.

There is nothing to say, and there is no need to engage in those ancient rituals, there is only one battle between the two sides.

The two sides reach the right distance and spread out the formation.

The Qin army's large array was dominated by infantry, infantry, cavalry, and chariots were already separated, and they were no longer mixed formations like the princes of the Central Plains.

The chariot formation was good for assault and defense, and it was obvious that the chariot formation was to protect the flanks of the infantry.

The Qin army's strong crossbows, the kind that use their feet to exert power, attack from 150 meters to 300 meters, they are the first wave of striking forces, and they are placed at the front of the team, but once the enemy approaches, they have to retreat behind the infantry and continue to fire crossbow machines. The cavalry was lined up behind the formation, and they were still not the main branch of the army in such an army. The cavalry had no stirrups and no foot support, so it was impossible to ride on a horse and swing a knife to cut people, but their cavalry was armed with crossbow arrows. Because of its high mobility, it is only responsible for harassment and surprise attacks. It can be mobilized at any time according to the situation of the battlefield.

Zhao Xing's formation was that the Poxi army was at the front, replacing the archers who had been used by the Zhao army, and 80,000 infantry were in the center to deal with the enemy's infantry charge.

The cavalry was Zhao Xing's main force, divided into left and right legions, the left legion of 70,000, the main army, and the right legion of 30,000 as the secondary, ready to attack the enemy's attacking army at any time.

As soon as Zhao Xing's big array was set up, a burst of shouts suddenly erupted in the position of the Qin army: "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together, and swear not to ceased to fight without shedding blood." ”

With the sound of a drum, Datang's soldiers struck their shields and shouted: "Mighty Datang, the battle will never stop if the blood is not shed, and the battle will never be returned if the battle is not won." ”

This is the slogan of the needle to the tip of the needle, and this is the declaration of the two armies that will not stop fighting. In this battle, who will die, who can stand on the last battlefield, and how many lives will be paid for it, can only be known in the final tragic battle.

There is no trick in such a dignified battle.

Zhao Xing really didn't want to fight with the Qin army for the first time, so he had such a dead knock, he wanted to play a conspiracy war with the Qin army the most, and he was familiar with this. But what he needs to do now is to fight in a dignified manner, and there is no possibility of opportunism.

Okay, let's fight in a dignified manner, Zhao Hao once again shouted his slogan that shocked the past and the present: "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road." "The morale of the Tang army was immediately like a rainbow.

With the sound of the war drums of the Qin army, the Qin army launched first.

Twenty thousand Qin army crossbowmen, carrying crossbows, took sonorous steps, lined up in a neat formation and began to approach the formation of the Tang Dynasty.

At the limit distance of three hundred paces, they stopped.

The reason why they stopped at such a distance was because Bai Qi reported that the firing distance of Zhao Xing's Whirlwind Cannon was three hundred paces.

Seeing the crossbowmen of the Qin army lying neatly lying with their feet wound, Zhao Xing immediately ordered the whirlwind cannon that had been prepared long ago to fire first.

Five thousand camels, running with a whirlwind, trotting forward, the whirlwind cannon, which had shortened its range, began to shoot on the march. With a roar, with the density of one stone projectile per breath, a covering blow was unleashed at the enemy's large array of crossbowmen.

And Lin Hu was even more in the whirlwind cannon, mixed with precious fire oil bombs.

For a moment, stones, fire, and oil bombs covered the enemy's crossbow and arrow array like hail.

The Qin army was brave, no one wanted to wear a helmet, according to Qin Jian's records, the Qin army was equipped with seventy armor and thirty helmets for every hundred people. The crossbowmen who carried the crossbow arrows were only cloth robes and had no armor to protect them. Because they are only responsible for striking the enemy with the distance of the crossbow arrows at the beginning, and then when the enemy is near, they immediately retreat to the back of the formation and continue to fire with the distance of the crossbow arrows, and they are safe.

But it was against the army of the Central Plains princes who were only equipped with infantry bows and arrows, and they suffered in the face of the Poxi army.

Batches of stones came from the sky with a whistling sound, exposing the body lying on the ground with a larger area of the blow in front of the stone bullets, and in the blink of an eye, there was a scream of blood, and countless crossbowmen were killed and wounded before they could get on their bowstrings.

The fire oil bomb mixed with the flying missile was even more powerful, and the fire oil bomb shattered, rising into a sky-high fire, instantly igniting the crossbowmen's battle robes, flammable linen battle robes, and immediately burning one crossbow soldier after another into human-shaped torches.

In the blink of an eye, the Qin army's crossbowmen array that came out of the front became a human purgatory.

The blow of the stone bullet can make the crossbowmen grit their teeth and maintain the formation, but the burning of the fire is unbearable, and those crossbowmen who are on fire immediately drop their crossbow arrows, jump up screaming, and rush towards their companions, hoping to get help from their companions.

As a result, they rushed to the infantry phalanx behind. In the face of the rushing fire man, these infantry who were ready to charge were frightened and dodged in fear, and the infantry charging phalanx immediately became chaotic.

"The people on fire must not be allowed to rush into the phalanx and block them." King Qin loves to remind the king of Wu Huo's jumping feet.

King Qin didn't know that if he let these flame-covered crossbowmen rush into his infantry array, it would be to burn the company camp, so he decisively ordered: "Stop them." ”

The only way to stop the people who are trying to survive is to kill them.

Before the infantry attacked the phalanx and engaged the enemy, they began to slaughter the burning men who attacked their formation, in fact, this was also to relieve them.

Facing the crossbow arrows that came from the sparse Lala, and facing the Qin infantry phalanx fighting together, Zhao Xing raised his hand coldly: "This is the power of science and technology, if you don't accept it, infantry, charge-"

Zhao Wujian roared excitedly, and with all the infantry, chasing the rain of bullets from the whirlwind cannon, he launched an attack on the Qin army.
