Chapter 872: The Gap
So, what is that?
The general of the Qin army, Wang Di, a man like an iron tower, gradually showed a trace of horror on his usually calm face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He couldn't believe his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, then looked at the front of the military formation with wide eyes, but what he could see still hadn't changed - the five thousand Ge Shield soldiers who were still alive just now became corpses in the blink of an eye.
"Bed crossbow?"
Wang Yi stared at the rows of repeating crossbows in front of the Wei army with wide eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It's not that he hasn't encountered similar crossbows, such as Longxi and their Qin State, there has been a kind of crossbow called a foot crossbow, but there has never been a crossbow that has a strong power like the Wei crossbow on the opposite side, and it actually shot directly through the giant shield of the Ge shield soldiers.
Even, it was a shield soldier with a shield who shot through two or three rows, like such a powerful crossbow, Wang Yi had never heard of.
This is ...... What to do?
Even if he was a fierce general of the Qin State who could fight well, Wang Yi was also in an embarrassing dilemma at this moment.
If you want to continue to send troops to advance, he was really shocked by the strong crossbow of the Wei army; But if he quits the army, he is unwilling.
And just as he was looking down and thinking, Qin Shaojun was biting the nail of his thumb and looking in the direction of Wei Jun with a complicated expression.
At this moment, in his mind, a figure still appeared, and that figure gave a thumbs up and looked amazed.
…… Your country's shield soldiers are impregnable and impregnable in their defense against threats from their front, but they are very poor in their defense against arrows from above. …… As long as you use the best quality materials, match the shield soldiers with helmets and shoulder armor, and make up for these two shortcomings, it will be foolproof.
Qin Shaojun's ears seemed to still echo the sworn words of that figure.
Swindler! Swindler! Swindler! …… obviously has such a terrifying crossbow, but pretending to be a ......
Qin Shaojun was angry and angry, and his chest rose and fell for a while.
He was not only angry at Zhao Hongrun's deception at that time, but also hated that he actually listened to the words of that hateful liar, and sent people back to Qin to ask domestic craftsmen to forge a batch of high-quality helmets and shoulder armor......
But what's the use of all this?!
The strong crossbow of the Wei army directly shot through the giant shield of the Ge shield soldiers!
Pierced the most confident side of the shield soldiers!
"Ahh
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun sneezed for no reason, which caused the worry of Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao.
"Your Highness, be careful of the cold." Wei Jiao reminded with concern, after all, the medical conditions in Sanchuan County are very poor, and if His Royal Highness is infected with a cold here, it is not a joke.
"It's okay......" Zhao Hongrun rubbed his nose, and then looked up at the mighty Qin Jun opposite, his expression was a little weird.
Because he instinctively felt as if there was a pair of resentful eyes staring at this side on the other side, although he had not yet found the owner of those eyes.
Will it be him...... Is it?
Zhao Hongrun raised his head and looked at the banner of the Qin army on the opposite side of the Qin army with the words "King Making", and he couldn't help but think of Qin Shaojun's appearance when he was angry.
Don't blame me......
He muttered secretly, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.
Because he knew that it was impossible for him and Qin Shaojun to be friends again.
Just when Zhao Hongrun was depressed, beside him, Lintao Jun Wei Ji's face showed a bit of ecstasy, and he stared intently at the rows of repeaters in front of the array, because he felt that these repeaters were even better than the repeaters he had paid attention to at the beginning of Chenggao Pass.
Longer range, more power, and more stability.
This is not surprising, after all, these repeaters are the second-generation repeaters improved and forged by the Smelting Bureau, and they are naturally more outstanding than the first-generation repeaters in Chenggaoguan.
It's no wonder that His Royal Highness King Su once said that today would be a massacre......
If it is said that Wei Ji is still a little apprehensive in his heart, then at the moment, he only has joy in his heart and a pride from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't expect that the Wei State of the Zhao Clan in the Central Plains was much stronger than he imagined, so strong that it could kill thousands of elite soldiers of the Qin army in the blink of an eye.
He finally understood why Zhao Hongrun wanted to use the Hangu Wei camp as bait, because if he didn't put a heavy bait, even if the Qin army on the opposite side had many generals, he didn't necessarily dare to continue to rush forward.
He stared at the movements of the Qin army, for fear that the Qin generals on the opposite side would change their minds and withdraw their troops and return to the camp - in that case, his Wei army would be too lost, exposing the crossbow as a big killing weapon, but only in exchange for thousands of casualties of the opponent's Ge shield soldiers.
At the same time, the general of the Qin army, Wang Di, had already made a decision.
"Call the black face to attack."
Wang Ji ordered the generals on the left and right.
The Tsui Mask, the Qin Army's Auxiliary Army, was a miscellaneous army made up of untouchables of low status in the country, but it was undeniable that this army was very aggressive.
"The general has an order, and the face is attacking!"
"The general has an order, and the face is attacking!"
One after another, the orders spread in all directions, and all of a sudden, there was a chaotic shout and cheer on the side of the Qin army.
These shouts and cheers did not come from the regular army of the Qin army, but from those peasant soldiers who did not have much armor on their bodies.
"It's finally our turn!"
"I can't wait!"
"Haha, the Wei people on the other side are waiting to die!"
Countless high-morale black-faced pawns clenched their blades in their hands, just waiting for the order to attack.
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
Waiting for a few generals who were in charge of the black face pawn to raise their fingers in the direction of the Wei army, all of a sudden, the black face pawn was like a sea wave, howling angrily and rushing towards the opposite Wei army.
The momentum that seems to be overwhelming is simply not like what a miscellaneous soldier as cannon fodder can have. Even if it was Zhao Hongrun, when he witnessed this scene in person, he couldn't help but praise it in his heart: Qin Guoren is strong, and it is so.
However, Qin Guo's fierce face is certainly strong, but in front of Lu State's organ crossbow box, this kind of toughness has no meaning.
With the order of Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, and Qu Cheng, the general of the Yan Ling Army, the two sergeants dragged out a huge wooden box with a strange shape from the army, and aimed the spouts on the wooden boxes at the oncoming black-faced army.
300 zhang ......
The Wei army did not move.
Two hundred zhang ......
The Wei army remained unmoved.
100 zhang ......
"Put!" Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, roared sharply.
Hearing this order, the Wei army, who was operating the crossbow box of the Lu State organ, invariably pressed the mechanism on the crossbow box.
Suddenly, the rows of crossbow boxes under the closed box shook strangely, and then "suddenly" shot crossbow bolts from the small hole in the vent.
At the same time, those Qin Guo's pawns who had rushed to within a hundred zhang distance seemed to be like wheat fields overwhelmed by the wind, falling to the ground piece by piece.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The crossbowmen of the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army also launched a free diffuse fire, cooperating with the rows of crossbow boxes to shoot the enemy.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The Sichuan cavalry on both wings also quickly adjusted their formation, raised the curved bow in their hands, and shot wave after wave of arrows at the Qin army's black-faced soldiers.
"Shoot the arrows!"
On the ridges of the Kushan Mountains and the Bear's Ears Mountains on both sides of the Hangu Valley, the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling soldiers stationed there also tried to climb high and shoot from a distance.
Under the cover of the Wei army's four-fold bow and crossbow fire, the black face soldiers of the Qin State went forward one after another, one after another, and in just a few blinks of an eye, the ground was full of corpses.
I have to say that the black-faced soldiers of the Qin State are worthy of being the most terrible army in this period, even if they have killed and injured nearly 10,000 people in the blink of an eye, they still continue to rush towards the Wei army, as if their high morale has not been affected by the casualties in the slightest.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not cross the last small distance they had from the Wei army.
It seems to be a moat, and it can't be crossed.
"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"
"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"
"Puff-"
The Wei army ruthlessly unleashed the crossbow arrows, firing them as if they didn't want money.
In the face of the Wei army's staggered crossbow bolts, the black-faced pawns suffered heavy casualties.
Even they themselves were shocked at why they were so weak in front of the Wei army, even a crossbow bolt was enough to knock them down.
They were not afraid, but the screams were unavoidable.
How could it be......
Qin Shaojun looked at the battle in the distance with red eyes, biting his nails.
That's not war at all, it's a massacre! The overwhelming slaughter of their Qin people by the Wei army!
And beside him, Wang Di, the general of the Qin army, was even more pale.
He never thought that the extremely offensive black-faced pawn would be blocked like this.
We can't afford to delay any longer......
The huge losses on the battlefield ahead made Wang Ji unbearable.
He wanted to collect his troops and withdraw his troops, but after glancing at the Hangu Wei camp that was close at hand, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand forward: "The whole army is assaulted!" ”
At the sound of an order, the Qin army's convoy took the lead.
I saw that the hundreds of chariots quickly caught up with the black-faced army in front, but in front of them, it was the second wave of crossbows fired by the Wei army.
"Shoot the horse! Shoot a war horse riding a chariot! ”
Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, shouted at the top of his voice.
Hearing this, the crossbow team aimed at the war horses in front of the Qin army's convoy as much as possible, and swished out powerful crossbow arrows.
Suddenly, hundreds of chariots of the Qin army, the horses in front of them were shot to death, planted to the ground, because of inertia, the rear carriage was thrown to the front, and the car overturned.
How so?!
A general of the Qin army was stunned, and rode his war horse towards the convoy and shouted: "Go around!" Get around! From the flank......"
"Puff-"
Hearing only the sound of two crossbow arrows piercing his body, the voice of the Qin army general stopped abruptly, lowered his head and looked at the several crossbow arrows that penetrated his body incredulously, and then looked at the position of the Wei army.
It's so far away...... How could it be......
With a pop, the Qin general fell off his horse, and at the same time, in the Wei army's array, several Shang Shui soldiers operating sniper crossbows clenched their fists in ecstasy.
"I shot him! I shot that Qin general! Haha, haha......"
Near these people, several Shang Shui Jun who were holding another sniper crossbow glanced at Tong Ze a few times with some depression, and then aimed the sniper crossbow in their hands at another Qin general who was commanding the black-faced pawn in the distance, and secretly prayed in their hearts.
"Poof—"
There was a strange sound, and another Qin general fell off his horse, and his face was still confused before he died.
Looking at the scenes of the battlefield in front of him, Qin Shaojun's eyes gradually reddened, and he pursed his lips. (To be continued.) )
