In the Qin and Wei military camp, Wang Jian held the bloody crossbow arrow in his hand and had been pondering for a long time. Originally, in the agitated clamor of the generals and colonels, he had decided to send troops immediately a few hours ago. However, after listening to the detailed account of the fleeing cavalry from beginning to end, he withdrew the order to exit.

Although he has not really seen the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Zhao State, this famous general of the Qin State, who has always been known for his cautious use of troops, has actually understood in his heart that the defeat of the 8,000 cavalry may not come from the light enemy, but the strength of the other party is really strong.

"This crossbow is so powerful! I had never seen it appear on the battlefield before, could it be a newly invented weapon of the Zhao people? ”

Wang Jian looked at the flickering cold light on the crossbow arrow, and after carefully studying it over and over again, he couldn't help frowning, and a deep worry rose in his heart. If such a sharp crossbow arrow can really be fired in a row as said, then there is no doubt that the cavalry of the Zhao State will be like a tiger with wings, and it will be difficult to match it again!

Nie Yunfeng stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it a few times. I was also surprised. He was sent by the King of Qin for several years to manage many affairs, including the manufacture and transportation of some weapons and military equipment. Of course, the Qin State also has many weapons that are secretly manufactured, but up to now, those weapons of the Qin State are far inferior to such sharp crossbow arrows.

"Zhao Guoren really has some hidden means. In the past, when King Zhao was there, they had a barrier and didn't need to show it. Now...... but took it out to save his life. Hehe! The general doesn't have to worry about this, the army of Qin and Wei is about to come to the city, and the people of Zhao want to rely on these strange tricks to make the final dying struggle, but it will be in vain after all. ”

Hearing his words of relief, Wang Jian shook his head with a wry smile. He knew these truths. But now the fact that all the 8,000 cavalry were wiped out is in front of us, and such a big loss is also unbearable for the Qin State. If you still say these things here, you can only say that you are deceiving yourself.

"Childe doesn't need to say more. The unfavorable losses in the first battle are all my responsibility. When the war is over, I will confess my guilt in front of King Qin! ”

When Nie Yunfeng wanted to persuade a few more words, Wang Jian had already waved his hand to stop him. But he heard Wei General Che Li next to him say in an uncertain tone.

"When I was in the Wei Kingdom, I once heard that the descendants of Ou Yezi made a very powerful weapon for the King of Wei, and the name was the Long Crossbow. There is a slight resemblance to this crossbow bolt. However, due to the complexity of production, it does not have the ability to be equipped in the army on a large scale...... Zhao Guoren didn't know where he learned it? ”

Wang Jian and Nie Yunfeng secretly glanced at each other, although they didn't say anything, they couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts. It turns out that the Wei people already have such powerful weapons? This will definitely be a huge threat to the Qin State. It seems that it is necessary to quickly report this situation to the King of Qin. It would be great if we could find a way to get a few enemy crossbows. Thinking of this, Wang Jian whispered a few words to his henchmen and generals, letting them tell the troops under his command that from now on, if anyone can get the enemy's crossbow arrows on the battlefield to sacrifice, there will be a heavy reward!

"If necessary, General Che Li should also send someone back to tell King Wei as soon as possible, and check carefully, who leaked such an important weapon manufacturing technology to the people of Zhao Guoren!"

Nie Yunfeng turned his head and said something to Che Li, the other party nodded in agreement, beckoned a Wei pawn, and asked him to do it immediately. This is indeed a very trivial matter, and it must not be taken lightly. It's just that although they guessed the source of Zhao Guo's crossbow arrow technology, how could they know that this turned out to be the dead prince of Wei, Nangong, and personally "gifted" it to the enemy!

The sky outside soon brightened, but Wang Jian never made up his mind whether to send troops immediately. Looking at the glow that began to appear in the east, his eyes were bloodshot. There is both hatred and deplorability. It's just that whether it is to avenge Wang Xuanwu and the 8,000 cavalry, or for the needs of the overall combat deployment, although he has a deep worry in his heart, he must make a decision.

"General, hurry up and give the order! The army has been assembled and is ready to go. ”

Many of the generals had already learned of the death of the cavalry, and they gathered angrily and begged for immediate battle to conquer Dragon City to avenge their hatred. Wang Jian looked at the mighty army, he finally nodded, suppressed all his emotions in his heart, and shouted the order to send troops! Thousands of troops and horses immediately took action, smoke and dust rose everywhere, swords and halberds were like a forest, covering the sky, and the momentum was amazing.

"The eldest prince, the appearance of the cavalry of the Zhao State here makes it difficult for me to rest assured after all. Just in case, I want you to go to the back to pick up the baggage troops to make sure nothing goes wrong! ”

Before leaving, Wang Jian looked at Nie Yunfeng solemnly and expressed his worries to him. The army of Qin and Wei advanced thousands of miles and penetrated deep into the territory of Zhao State, if it could break through Dragon City in one fell swoop, then it would be easy to say anything. But in the event of any setbacks, there must be no room for failure in logistical supply! This is the lifeline of the 130,000 army, and there is no room for sloppiness. Originally, Wang Jian didn't have such deep worries, but the demise of the eight thousand Qin cavalry raised a lot of vigilance in his heart.

"Rest assured, General! I personally sat in the back and put all the heavy grain and grass into Pingling Pass today, and under the heavy guard, it could be guaranteed. ”

Nie Yunfeng made a promise. With his promise, Wang Jian finally put his mind at ease. Immediately commanded their respective armies with Che Li, and marched forward one after another in the encirclement of thousands of troops.

Nie Yunfeng looked at the smoke and dust raised by the army, turned around, and led the more than two thousand soldiers under his command to go against the wind and began to walk back. The area to the west of Pingling Pass is on higher ground, and its northwest direction is the famous Gubeikou. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, it is basically in the shape of loess, and when the long wind rises, the sand and dust are blowing on the face, and most of the time in the four seasons of the year it is such a ghost weather.

Although the eldest prince of the Qin State is ambitious, he has always been a trustworthy person. Since he promised Wang Jian, of course, he will do his best to ensure the logistics supply of the army. In the past few days, the heavy grain and grass that have come one after another are stored in a temporary camp more than ten miles away. After he rushed back, he immediately ordered to move to Pingling Pass, where it was safer.

It's just that whether it is him, Wang Jian and Che Li, they definitely didn't expect that they were still a step late after all. Some people have already set their sights on this logistical supply line of the Qin and Wei armies. Moreover, as the most important link in the whole war, after forcing the enemy army to stretch their life supply lines with the strategy of clearing the wilderness, it is finally time to cut off!

There are no mountains or plains to the west of Pingling Pass, and there are many gentle slopes and loess sand mounds scattered in this area. That's what makes this place special. When the rising sun in the east once again illuminated the land, a cavalry contingent was ready for battle again after a large slope mausoleum.

Rushed here overnight from the Qixialing battlefield, although he didn't get enough rest, but now every cavalry soldier can't see a trace of fatigue. When the blade in his hand reflected the glow on his face, the eyes of these young people flashed with a burning light.

After experiencing the great victory in Qixialing, their determination to win is now unstoppable. At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the calm figure standing on the high place, waiting for him to point the long sword in his hand forward again.

Chu Jiangmian, who led the high-morale dragoon army to drive hundreds of miles here, had already received news from the Tiger Ben army an hour ago. Although he had long known that Murong Licheng would not live up to his expectations, it was still a bit unexpected for them to win the first battle so cleanly.

"The Qin and Wei armies have all been dispatched, and it seems that Wang Jian has lost his patience...... The Tiger Benjun stimulated him for a while, and it still worked very well. ”

Chu Jiangmian said casually. Long Yu, who was standing respectfully behind him, perked up and hurriedly asked in an inquiring tone.

"Your Highness, has the time come?"

Even if Chu Jiangmian didn't have to look back, he knew what the expressions of this dragoon general and the soldiers under his command were now. The swords in their hands were polished, and they tried their best to control the restless war horses, and they couldn't wait for a long time.

The Qixialing battlefield has been handed over to Minister Fei Yi to deal with, and it is appropriate for him to lead Gongzi Liangsheng and those veterans to do this. The order left by Chu Jiangmian to him was to return to Dragon City immediately after cleaning up the battlefield. And the reason why he did this was because he received news from the spy of the Thousand Machine Pavilion last night. Some people are already preparing to make trouble in Dragon City. Only when Fei Yi goes back to sit in town, can he feel at ease.

"Your Highness, don't worry, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! If someone dares to disturb the overall situation for their own selfish desires at this time, the old man will definitely not be polite! ”

Fei Yi, who accepted the heavy responsibility, was indignant, he understood very well what Chu Jiangmian was worried about. If it is really difficult to avoid the bloodshed of the royal family in the same room, he will bear it with all his might, and never let Chu Jiangmian's hands be stained with the blood of the same clan.

When thinking of this, Chu Jiangmian narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart. But the next moment, he immediately put this emotion behind him. Because, with the return of the latest order he sent to convey to the Tiger Army, the battle they had been waiting for for soon was about to begin.

"Your Highness! General Murong has already received the order, and he asked me to tell His Highness that when he sees the signal, the Tiger Ben Army will immediately launch an all-out attack! ”

"Good! General Long Yu, now you can take your dragoon army into battle! ”

Chu Jiangmian finally pulled out the Fengyun Sword. In this battle, the Dragoon Army and the Tiger Ben Army will respond to each other, attack each other head to tail, and strive to break the 130,000 enemy army in one battle!
