Chapter 196: Blood-Splattered Pomegranate Skirt

Tie Zhong Quinoa, who was about to wipe out all the stubborn Qi troops in one go, found out that there was a cavalry attack behind him at the first time. He didn't pay much attention to it, though. The Qi army is too weak, even if it is their cavalry, I believe there is nothing to fear.

"General! Enemy horsemen appeared, and they rushed from behind! ”

There were scouts shouting warnings. Tie Zhong quinoa crossed the knife in front of his chest and smiled coldly.

"Don't panic, it's just in time...... Pass my orders, divide your troops, and kill all these guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead! ”

The subordinate generals around him received the order, raised his sword and waved, and led the thousand horsemen away. These brave and skilled Qin cavalry have rarely been defeated in recent years, and even when fighting against those barbarians, they will never back down. Today, I don't think it's fun to kill, since the enemy's cavalry has appeared, they are eager to make meritorious contributions, and they are all fighting bravely, lest they will not be killed if they are a little slower than half a beat.

The Qin soldiers who led the charge were burly and strong, with iron-armored broadswords and high-headed war horses, facing the cavalry that rushed out of the valley, the knife in his hand was raised high, and the fierce horse was flying, and he was ready to slash and kill in his heart. And the cavalry who followed him closely behind him were all like this, and they all looked at their targets in advance, and were ready to cut off their horses at the first glance.

In the dust raised by the horses' hooves, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer. The cavalry of the Qin State could already gradually see the reflection of the oncoming armor. Including the generals of the Qin Army, there were many people with very rich combat experience who suddenly felt that something was wrong. The murderous aura of the other party was so strong!

"Watch out for ......!"

General Qin, who suddenly had an alarm in his heart, shouted, and hurriedly lowered his body. With a dense buzzing sound, the other Qin cavalry had also seen it at the same time, and countless black edges pierced the air, coming to their chests! In a panic, they dodged and parried, but most of them were too late.

The Qin people's riding and archery skills are, of course, also very powerful. However, in previous battles, there had never been a cavalry charge that would first fire feathered arrows on such a large scale to injure the enemy. For cavalry, even if the archery is accurate, it is not so easy to injure the enemy with feathered arrows on the back of a bumpy horse. What's more, such a large-scale cavalry charge, if you don't get it right, you will hurt your own people, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, once they began to charge, everyone's attention from top to bottom was focused on how to kill the enemy when the two armies were staggered. Unexpectedly, they didn't release the arrows, and the other party actually launched an attack first. Dozens of feet away, the rain of arrows is coming in the blink of an eye, and within such an optimal range, there is no way to dodge, there is no way to dodge!

What's more, what is particularly shocking is that the opponent's arrow does not fall from the top of the head, but comes with a flat chest, as if it were shot straight at him. When those sharp edges pierced through the armor or pierced the body of the war horse, Qin General's eyes suddenly widened. He remembered the incident that had begun to be rumored among the Qin army not long ago.

An arrow with such great lethality is not a bow and arrow that is commonly known in the world, but a new type of weapon called a crossbow arrow. In the war in the spring, this kind of arrow caused tragic casualties to the Qin army, and to some extent, the defeat of the 80,000 army of the Qin State was directly related to this. And the only one who currently has them is Zhao Guo!

The general of the Qin army, who suddenly had a terrible thought, was shot off his horse by several crossbow arrows one after another before he could fully understand it. He struggled desperately to get up, his eyes wide open to see whether the cavalry rushing over was Zhao Jun or not, but he would never have a chance to know about it.

The horse's hooves rushed like thunder, and the cold edge of the knight's hand at the front cut off his head at once. The head that flew in mid-air, and at the last glance, I saw the majestic and mighty cavalry sweeping across the land, and there was not much Qin cavalry left with him.

With only one charge, more than a thousand elite Qin troops were all killed! Everyone on the battlefield in the distance who suddenly discovered this shocking fact was stunned. Whether it was the Qi army that was being strangled, or the Qin cavalry who were coming and going on horseback to kill at will, they all stopped the swords in their hands and looked over here.

This battlefield, which was still boiling just now, suddenly seemed a little quiet. And just when everyone was still digesting this shocking change, the cavalry, which suddenly appeared like a blade, stepped over the corpses and the blood of the enemy, and came in front of them.

"That's ...... Where did the army come from?! ”

This huge question has surfaced in the minds of many people. Although the mood is different, the mood is different. But everyone on the battlefield immediately realized that this cavalry was too powerful! It's a bit more powerful than you can imagine.

And this question does not have to wait too long, it will be revealed soon. A stone's throw away, more than 2,000 horsemen lined up in formation, although the number was not large, but the oncoming momentum was almost unforgiving. The knight who was agile on the forward war horse erected the battle flag, and the hula embroidered gold characters were displayed in the wind, which was majestic.

"It's Zhao Guoren...... The cavalry of the Zhao State! ”

As long as you are not blind and illiterate, you all know the word "Zhao" on the battle flag. Seeing that the other party has already raised the flag, there is no need to have the slightest suspicion. This cavalry is definitely from the Zhao State, and in today's world, they are the only ones who can really compete with the Qin army.

Hearing the exclamations of the people around him, Tie Zhongquio, who was holding the war horse, had a gloomy face, and his heart flashed and thundered. Although he had also heard of the strength of the Zhao army, and had studied more seriously the reasons for the defeat of the Qin army some time ago, he had never dared to despise the Zhao army. But he never imagined that their cavalry would be so powerful.

He saw very clearly just now that most of the more than 1,000 subordinates sent to meet him were killed without even having a chance to really fight the other party. When the opponent's horse rushes over, even those who are lucky enough not to be killed by the crossbow arrows will not escape their fate. It can be said that from the time the Zhao army launched a charge to the time when they wiped out all their opponents, their war horses did not even pause, but they trampled on them directly, such a method of warfare...... It's just too much of a bully!

"The cavalry of the Zhao State actually appeared here...... The real battle is coming! Don't worry about those Qi people, all ready, and kill with me! ”

The blood in the chest of the quinoa in the iron is churning, the long knife is pointed, and the military order is like a mountain. Although he had a hunch that today's battle might not be good, he had no choice. Don't say that the general he received was to hold the left flank defense line that had been captured, and he would not be willing to lose it. Even these cavalrymen who died just now, if he can't avenge them, then he has no shame to go back and give orders.

The soldiers of Great Qin have never been afraid of difficulties, and the more they encounter a strong enemy, the more they can stimulate the blood in their chests. Everyone shouted in agreement, turned the horse's head, and the long knives were stacked side by side, like a mountain of knives, and after a slight pause, they roared together as the blade pointed and rushed towards the direction where Zhao Jun appeared.

Dozens of zhang away, a big flag fluttered in the wind, and the carefree princess in full uniform tightly tightened the reins of the war horse, looking at the Qin army who was killing on the opposite side, with an eager expression on her face.

"Hurry up and give the order to charge! What are you waiting for? ”

She turned her head anxiously and urged loudly. Chu Jiangmian, who was standing side by side with Lanling Jun Tian Wuzhao, had a complicated face, and Lan Lingjun could only spread his hands to him in excitement, saying that he was also helpless. Who would have thought that this princess would be so "ferocious" on the battlefield! Take the lead and run faster than anyone else. The unlucky general of the Qin State just now was cut off by her sword with a sword.

"All ready, after three crossbow bolts, avoid the frontal edge, and divide the left and right wings to attack!"

Chu Jiangmian passed the order with a calm expression. Wang Jun, the captain who was in charge of leading this cavalry, did not hesitate to obey the order. Now all the Zhao troops from top to bottom are like chicken blood. Because they all know that King Zhao is in the army, fighting side by side with them! This kind of motivation, more than anything else, boosts morale.

"King Zhao really cherishes his soldiers...... Alas! No wonder they can win the allegiance of people. ”

Lan Lingjun, who had been watching the battle from beginning to end, couldn't help but sigh silently from the bottom of his heart. Of course, he understood that with such a fierce combat power of the Zhao army, Chu Jiangmian did not order them to fight directly with the Qin army, but instead adopted the most powerful way to fight in a roundabout way. This is just to minimize casualties.

"Life is like morning dew, and the days are bitter...... Life is hard-won and worth cherishing no matter what. If the war can end one day, I don't want another person to die because of this. ”

Lan Lingjun bowed down with the people around him, and was sincerely convinced by the great benevolence of this King of Zhao. And Wang Jun, who was ordered to prepare to command the battle, was even more generous, and he raised his arms and shouted with many cavalrymen.

"Willing to fight to the death for the king! King Wansheng ......! ”

Before the words fell, the crossbow arrows in the hands of thousands of cavalrymen were activated again, the war horses in front neighed, and the smoke and dust rolled, and in an instant, there was chaos. After all the arrows in the crossbow of the divine machine were shot, the cavalry was divided left and right, like two curved blades, and they were killed in the oblique stab.

The Qin army, which had suffered heavy casualties from the crossbow bolts, was like a wounded beast, roaring angrily and struggling to find an opponent. However, their attempts to die with each other are doomed to fail. The cavalry of the Zhao State flexibly launched an attack from both sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Qin State gradually died.

More than a dozen Zhao army warriors who were specially instructed by King Zhao to protect Princess Sanssouci blocked all possible dangers for her. Her Royal Highness the princess finally had enough of the addiction of charging on the battlefield, and when she rode her horse and stabbed the cavalry commander of the Qin army off her horse, this battle could basically be over.

"I killed two generals! Isn't it powerful, you say? ”

The horizontal sword slashes the enemy general, and the blood spattes the pomegranate skirt. The princess of Qi who came to Chu Jiangmian's side smiled beautifully, and her eyebrows were proud.
