Chapter 331: The Song Army Defeated Again!
"Dashuai, what should I do? The brothers began to panic, some people said that the blackbird covered the sky, which was a bad omen, and they should retreat back to Jizhou, and some people said that they could not fight with the Qin army, the Qin army was the patron of the blackbird, and there were even people who said that the armor of the Qin army was because of the belief that the blackbird was specially painted black! ”
At this time, a general walked slowly and said with anxiety in his heart.
"Fart, what kind of bullshit blackbird, the dragon pattern of Qin Jun's armor seal, are you bullying Lao Tzu and don't know dragons and birds?" Cai Shang was so angry that he was carried away by the anger and forgot about the blackbird covering the sky.
"Don't dare!" The general hurriedly bowed his head in response.
"If you pass the news, you will say that the blackbird is not coming for us, but for the Qin army, and you want to eat the flesh of the Qin army's corpse. Cai Shang squinted his eyes and shouted at everyone.
"Yes!" The general quickly nodded in response.
After a period of time, this news spread throughout the army, and when the Song army heard these words, their worried hearts gradually stabilized, of course, there were still a small number of Song soldiers who were still very worried, and they had no confidence at all in dealing with this war, and they were even ready to slip away.
The Blackbird kept circling the Song army camp, so that Cai Shang had to order an immediate departure to avoid further riots, and soon, the 200,000 troops quickly "escaped" from the camp and ran in the direction of the Qin army.
Zhao Cheng's side, knowing that he was about to engage the Song army, directly lined up an attack formation, and the 70,000 Qin army was ready for a big battle.
After about an hour, both sides simultaneously entered a large open space covered with barren grass, which could accommodate a million people, and the Qin and Song armies could completely enter it.
"It's a battlefield given to us by God!" Zhao Cheng muttered to himself with a hint of a smile.
The open space is conducive to the cavalry to play, and the crossbowmen can also better aim at the opponent, anyway, the decisive battle in the open space is the most beneficial to the army, of course, it is also beneficial to the Song army!
Of the 200,000 Song troops, 30,000 were cavalry, 10,000 were archers, and the rest were all pikemen.
"It seems that the scale has reached seventy or eighty thousand, and the speed of the Qin army's expansion is really fast!" Cai Shang couldn't help but shudder when he saw the black pressure in front of him.
He seemed to remember that at the beginning of the Qin army, it took almost a month to expand the strength of the army to 80,000 in a month, if these 80,000 were miscellaneous soldiers, it would not be uncommon for them to be rabble, but it was really shocking to cultivate 80,000 elite soldiers in a short period of time!
If it goes on for a long time, according to the continuous development of the Qin army, won't it become 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, or even 500,000 or 1 million, and then the Great Song Dynasty will be able to win?
"Marshal, what should we do, according to the last battle, the Qin sergeant is extremely well armoured, and ordinary blades can't hurt at all, so you can only cut your throat and cut your little feet to hurt the enemy!" A general asked with a very solemn expression.
"Then cut your throat and cut your feet, and in today's battle, you must wipe out the Qin army, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to confront it!" Cai Shang gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Hearing this, the general couldn't help but be silent, cut his throat, said it simply, how could it be so easy, after all, the Qin soldier was not a scarecrow, how could he hit the throat so easily, but Cai Shang said so, what else could he do, he could only do it!
"The whole army should pay attention, the Qin army is well-armored, and its throat and feet must be cut in order to injure the enemy and kill the enemy!"
"The whole army should pay attention, the Qin army is well-armored, and its throat and feet must be cut in order to injure the enemy and kill the enemy!"
A famous general will order to inform the whole army!
Qin Jun!
"Where is Meng Chang!" Zhao Cheng called softly.
Meng Chang rode on the war horse, heard Zhao Cheng's call, and hurriedly bowed his head to Zhao Cheng and said, "The last general!" ”
"Pass the order, the crossbowmen come forward, let the Song army see it, the strong crossbow in the pre-Qin period!" The corners of Zhao Cheng's mouth curled and smiled.
That's right, the crossbow built by the Mojia iron shop is a strong crossbow in the pre-Qin period, with a range of 800 steps, which is even farther than a modern rifle, many modern people don't believe that there was such a powerful weapon in ancient times, but they don't know that the Mojia machine is powerful!
"Yes!" Meng Chang responded with a fist clenched, and then ordered 10,000 crossbowmen to go to the front!
10,000 crossbowmen, divided into three rows, take turns to shoot, one crossbow, can fire five crossbow arrows in a row, after shooting, change people to continue shooting, take the opportunity to replenish the crossbow arrows.
"Whoa!" 10,000 crossbowmen quickly stepped forward, and there were bursts of footsteps!
At this time, the 30,000 Song cavalry suddenly charged, and the rest of the Song army followed closely behind, Zhao Cheng saw this, did not panic at all, and quietly watched the 10,000 crossbowmen aim at the Song cavalry.
The original distance between the two sides was 1,000 steps, but after a period of running by the Song army, the distance between the two sides was only 500 steps.
"Archers prepare, once they reach the range, they will shoot their arrows directly!" Cai Shang hid behind the army, watched the army charge and ordered.
"Yes!" One of the generals nodded in response.
At this moment, Meng Chang shouted coldly: "Release the arrow!" ”
At the sound of an order, 10,000 crossbowmen pulled the crossbow machine in unison, "Boom!" "Ten thousand crossbow arrows shot into the Song army's array with a devastating momentum.
The first to bear the brunt was the cavalry of the Song army, which was directly shot by the crossbow arrows of the Qin army and fell off their horses, and the losses were extremely heavy, and the wails and screams sounded one after another, casting a shadow on the hearts of the Song army.
They didn't understand that their own army was still some distance away from the Qin army, and this distance could not be attacked at all, but they were attacked, and they were killed in rows, and the damage and hit rate were a little terrifying!
But they soon saw that it was a crossbow!
"How can there be such a powerful crossbow?" Countless Song soldiers were puzzled!
The most powerful crossbow known so far is the bed crossbow, which has a range of up to 600 steps, but this weapon is not as simple to operate as the Qin army, it needs to be carried by manpower, and the operation is complicated.
"Woohoo!" The 10,000 crossbowmen of the Qin army never stopped shooting, and a round of crossbow arrows was shot at the Song army, causing the Song army to be under the rain of arrows, in less than half an hour, all 30,000 cavalry were killed, and the rest of the troops also suffered heavy losses, a total of 200,000 Song troops, 100,000 crossbowmen of the Qin army shot 100,000 people, and the Song army was still 300 steps away from the Qin army's array!
"Retreat!" Cai Shang in the rear gritted his teeth helplessly and ordered.
The 100,000 army was scrapped like this, what a special grievance, but there was nothing to do with the Qin army!
As soon as he heard the order to retreat, the remnants of the 100,000 Song army suddenly retreated rapidly like the waves of the resurgence, Zhao Cheng saw this scene, and immediately gave a decisive order: "Cavalry charge!" ”
"Boom!"
Ordered to march, 10,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry tightened the reins of the horses and drove the horses forward to kill.
