Chapter 328: A Gamble

In the north, the state of Qi has already launched a decisive battle with the border areas of the poor in the north.

This time, the punishment is ready to snow the shame of three years ago.

In the past three years, he has finally stabilized the poor clan that is facing collapse, and his strength is much stronger than three years ago.

Coupled with the popularity of bronze weapons, the combat effectiveness of the poor has increased several times.

The last time the Qi Kingdom defeated itself by relying on the demon law, this time, Youqiu held a grand sacrifice to the heavens before the expedition, and Youqiang, who has the protection of the gods, will be invincible.

The poor army is not much more reckless than Xia Qilai, and the black pressure of tens of thousands of troops seems to spread to the sky.

The vast majority of the army led by Ukisho were infantry, and out of an army of 10,000 people, there were only 3,000 cavalry, so he faced an enemy who was far outnumbered by himself.

It's not that the Qi people are unaware of the benefits of cavalry, but unlike those semi-nomadic fishing and hunting tribes, the Qi country is a country dominated by agriculture.

Most of the land in the country is used as arable land, and the few horse farms that are there are simply cannot breed excellent war horses.

Although the farming country is rich in materials, on top of the matter of war horses, Yang Hao is faced with the problem common to all dynasties in later generations.

That is to raise excellent war horses, which are several times or even more than ten times more expensive than those barbarians in terms of cost.

The current capacity of the Qi State can only maintain the cavalry at a maximum of tens of thousands.

If you want to defeat these ferocious enemies, you can only have a chance to defeat the enemy by relying on the joint operation of multiple arms and relying on the superiority of equipment.

Instead of fighting the enemy's cavalry, Fu chose to use chariots and horses, with infantry as the main force, and endured the enemy's fierce attacks.

The battle lasted from morning to early afternoon.

In the face of the poor attack, the Qi army resisted stubbornly.

The spears were broken one after another, and the archer's arms were already numb, as if they were going to be useless if they were pulled apart again.

But no one retreated, and the soldiers until, if these barbarians were allowed to break through this line of defense, then the hinterland of Qi would be completely exposed to the iron hooves of these barbarians.

Behind him is the country of Qi, where is his family, and where it means freedom.

What is the consequence of the defeat of all of them, and that result is too terrible for him.

Those who have experienced hardship never want to go back to their former lives, they can only stand here, using their own flesh and blood to stop the enemy on the northern border.

After the wounded and sick were taken advantage of the enemy's retreat, they were hurriedly carried to the Chinese army camp by the people at a unit price.

The screams of the wounded and sick camp were endless, and in the era of lack of medical treatment, the doctors of Qi State could only simply help them stop the bleeding and disinfect with alcohol, as for whether they could survive, they could only resign themselves to fate.

Although his own attack did not completely crush the enemy, the punishment saw that the enemy was already showing fatigue.

And only half of the strength is used on his side, as long as the living power of the enemy continues to be consumed, the victory will eventually belong to him.

The Chinese army was in a big array, looking at the battlefield with a cold expression, holding the reins with both hands.

"General, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to withstand it."

The general of the Qi army said with an anxious face.

Fu said coldly: "Prepare for the battle team, no one is allowed to take a step back." ”

"General!"

"It's an order!"

When the general heard this, he was furious in his heart, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Yes!" ”

Fu didn't know how tired it was to fight continuously, but he had no choice.

The enemy is just consuming himself by flying kites, and although the battle is a little aggrieved, he can only carry it.

He can only wait, and when the enemy thinks he will win and attacks with all his might, he can have the possibility of turning the tables.

The herald was summoned over, and after a few orders, the herald hurriedly retreated.

The fighting Daqi soldiers were still resisting stubbornly, and the pikemen in front of the chariot formation had already been ground with blood, but none of them took a half step back.

The wounded soldier tore a piece of cloth from his cherished clothes, wrapped it around his hands a few times, and continued to hold on to his position.

They have become numb, and at this moment, in their minds, there is only one thought, and that is to kill people, to kill these enemies who want to destroy their homeland.

Although hundreds of Overseers were dispatched, these people did not make a difference.

Floating teeth clenched, he was proud that he could command such a strong army.

And he has already made a determination to die in his heart, if he is defeated, then he will kill himself here, and live and die with more than 10,000 brothers in Paoze.

At dusk, after dozens of rounds of rushing and killing, Qi Guo's army formation was already a little crumbling, like a sampan in a storm that could be torn apart at any time.

After fighting for several hours in a row, even the warriors of iron fight have reached the point of exhaustion.

The infantry army of 5,000 people, with nearly 30% dead and wounded, resisted the attack of tens of thousands of enemies and did not allow the enemy to break through a single step.

At this time, there were only a handful of people in the phalanx who could still stand up.

The executioner's face was extremely ugly, and although he already knew that he was in control of victory, he was still shocked by the stubbornness of the enemy.

He didn't know why these people had fought to this extent, and why they still fought to the death.

Although they were enemies, he had to admit that these Qi people were real warriors, so he wanted to give them the treatment of warriors.

A true warrior is the only one who dies on the battlefield in the face of the crown.

He felt it was time for it to end.

At the sound of a whining trumpet, the army of poor men began to assemble, ready to deliver the final blow to this admirable opponent.

Shuo Xiang looked in the direction of the Qi army, he knew who the general who led the troops was, as one of Yang Hao's right-hand men, he didn't want his former friend to die in his hands, if possible he hoped to be able to capture Fu alive, maybe he could save his life.

Faced with the enemy rushing in by the black press, Fu knew that the time had come.

In the midst of the thousands of soldiers, a thousand energetic soldiers suddenly stood up.

These are the floating hole cards, and these people are the most elite grenadiers in the infantry of the Qi State.

In the previous battle, they hid in the center of the military formation and did not participate in the fight.

In the face of scattered onslaught enemies, the grenadier's lethality will be much weakened.

What he wanted was to completely defeat the enemy, so he made a big gamble, and the soldiers did not disappoint him, and with the most tenacious fighting spirit, helped him complete this difficult performance.

Looking at the enemy rushing towards him in a dense formation, Ukiki knew that the battle was about to end.

In the face of thousands of grenade bombardments, such a dense charging formation is simply tantamount to suicide.

The infantry struggled to get up from the ground and used what little strength they had left to protect the grenadiers in the formation.

Their mission has been accomplished, and they have chosen to trust their comrades.
