Chapter 151: Fierce Battle (Part 3)

Almost as soon as they entered the firing range, the cavalry on both sides began to shoot.

On the Qin side it was five hundred cavalry plus one hundred and fifty chariots, while on the Wei side it was one hundred and fifty chariots plus nine hundred cavalry.

In terms of numbers, the Wei cavalry and chariot soldiers undoubtedly had an advantage, but when the actual battle began, it was not the same thing.

The arrows on both sides were like locusts, shooting back and forth in mid-air intensively, but after a round of arrow rain, at least hundreds of Wei cavalry and chariots fell to the ground with arrows, on the contrary, the cavalry and chariots on the Qin army's side were significantly less.

In the middle of the Wei army's Chinese army, the commander Wei Wuji's face sank slightly when he saw this, and he snorted fiercely with his nostrils: "Hu Qi!" ”

That's right, although it is obvious that above the chariots of the Qin State are those tall old Qin chariot soldiers, but the Qin cavalry who followed the chariot soldiers are all quite short, with round faces, long noses, wide-brimmed hats, wearing a left collared jacket, tight leather pants and boots, obviously not from the Qin State, but from the Yiqu and Linhu tribes in the north of the Qin State.

Yiqu and Lin Hu both belong to one of the nomadic tribes in the north, and King Zhao Wuling's "Hu Fu Cavalry Shooting" learned from Lin Hu and Lou Fu, so it is really not wrong to say that these Qin cavalry are Hu cavalry.

Obviously, nomads like the Yiqu and Linhu people, who had grown up on horseback since childhood, were far superior to the cavalry of the Wei State several streets in both riding and archery.

I saw these Hu horses holding the reins in their left hand and holding the short crossbow in their right hand, and while making various dodging movements on horseback, they easily fired the short crossbow in their hands, and they could often hit five or six arrows out of ten arrows, and the hit rate was extremely high.

Fortunately, these Hu cavalry could only send out one volley in a short time, otherwise, if they could send out several volleys like the infantry, the cavalry of the Wei army would be directly crushed.

When the cavalry on both sides exchanged fire fiercely, the chariots were not idle.

The chariots on top of both chariots bent their bows and arrows and shot at the riders of the opposing chariots.

However, the riders were all heavily armoured, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate at all, and many rooks raised their shields to protect each other, so this round of volleys of chariots on both sides seemed to be lively, but in fact it did not cause any battle damage.

Oh, if you count the few chariots that ran out of the wheels because the road was too bumpy and then overturned directly, the battle damage caused by this round of chariot soldiers charging down can barely exceed a single digit...

With the continuous passage of the Warring States Period, the chariot soldiers, who were originally important and could even represent the military strength of a country, have basically been completely marginalized.

After a lively round of shooting, the vehicles of both sides began to consciously slow down, waiting for the infantry brigade behind them to follow.

Dense footsteps began to sound, and the infantry on both sides began to get closer and closer like two rushing tides.

1,000 steps, 800 steps, 500 steps...

At this time, the phalanx of Wei warriors who were rushing at the forefront of the Wei army suddenly stopped.

Wei Wushu's deceleration was unexpectedly fast, but in just a few seconds, the entire thousand-person Wei Wushu phalanx had completely stopped.

Almost at the moment of stopping, the first three rows of Wei Wu's soldiers raised their crossbows in their hands neatly and aimed at the Qin army in front of them.

The crossbow in the hands of the Wei warriors is a twelve-stone crossbow, which is one of the world's most famous crossbows.

"Shoot!" A five-hundred-hundred-man shouted hoarsely.

"Whoosh!" Three hundred Wei warriors shot the crossbows in their hands in unison.

At the moment when the Wei soldiers shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, the crossbowmen of the Qin army on the opposite side had just lined up in formation.

When the Qin crossbowmen had just finished aiming, the overwhelming crossbow bolts had already fallen from the sky, engulfing the rows of Qin crossbowmen at the front.

A miserable scream sounded from the Qin army's position, dozens or hundreds of Qin army's crossbowmen fell on the spot, and many people rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.

After firing this round of crossbow arrows, the three rows of Wei Wushu at the front dropped the crossbow in their hands without any hesitation, then pulled out their spears from their backs and rushed towards the Qin army in front of them.

Just a few seconds after these three rows of Wei Wu soldiers left, another three rows of Wei Wu soldiers continued to pick up, and in the same position, according to the same order, they sent out almost the same wave of long-range crossbow attacks.

Step, aim, fire, discard, draw, charge.

Smooth and neat, a hundred people are like one person.

In just two minutes, the entire twelve rows of Wei Wushu completed the launch, pouring all a thousand crossbow arrows into the formation of the Qin army.

On the other side, the Qin army was slow and slow, and completely lost the upper hand in this long-range firepower contest.

Although the Qin State obtained many techniques and craftsmen from both countries in the conquest of Wei and Han, in terms of the performance of the crossbow, the Qin crossbow was not inferior to the Wei crossbow and may even slightly surpass it, but these ordinary soldiers of the Qin army were still too much worse than Wei Wushu!

This scene fell in the eyes of Sima Terrier, the commander of the Qin army, and when he landed, Sima Terrier frowned, and snorted fiercely: "Wei Wushu? I can't imagine that there is still a Wei Wushu in Wei now! ”

But soon, Sima Terrier's brows loosened again, because Sima Terrier discovered one thing, that is, although Wei Wuji was strong, it seemed that Wei Wuji only had a thousand Wei Wushu in his hands.

10,000 Wei soldiers and 1,000 Wei soldiers, the difference is really more than ten times.

What's more, no matter how strong Wei Wushu is, he hasn't suffered a big defeat at the hands of the Qin army?

In a short period of time, Sima Terrier's heart, which had been lifted by the appearance of Wei Wushu, was put back into his stomach.

After a long shot, the fierce white-knuckle battle finally began, and the soldiers on both sides slapped together like two tides, splashing countless blood-colored waves.

The battle reached its climax almost immediately.

The soldiers who were standing at the front fell almost in a row, and then their comrades in the rear immediately rushed up, followed by another brutal fight, and then they fell, and then someone continued to fill in.

This fierce battlefield has now become a huge meat grinder, and countless soldiers from both sides have been filled in and consumed so quickly that it seems that it will never straighten up.

Sima Terrier licked his lips, and his gaze gradually became serious.

To be honest, such a situation was not unexpected by Sima Terrier, and it can even be said that Sima Terrier deliberately wanted to create this situation.

With the two sides of the front line locked in such a fierce battle, most of Wei Wuji's attention must have been on the battlefield.

This will give Sima Terrier a chance.

This opportunity will allow Sima Terrier to completely defeat Wei Wuji and win this battle!

Sima Terrier summoned the herald and said, "Go and order someone to beat the drum, five times."
