Under the Changping Pass, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers were waiting for them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of the Wei army's position, more than a dozen tall siege vehicles stood majestically.
Under the command of their respective generals, the Wei army formation gradually took shape.
In the first row, the most powerful crossbowmen lined up in front of the formation, followed by the more arrogant bed crossbows.
In the back, there are the foot soldiers of the Wei army, and beside them, there are all kinds of siege equipment.
Today's weather is gloomy, and it's a good time to siege the city.
In the rear of the Wei army, under heavy protection, Wei Hou stood under the big guard, looking at the front with a calm expression.
"Today, the Qilin banner will be planted and closed." Wei Hou's voice was loud and resolute.
Fierce attack, quick battle, this is the attack principle set by Wei Hou. The generals of all units are required to cooperate closely and strive to defeat the enemy in a battle with the most powerful attack intensity.
This war has dragged on for too long, and the consumption of the treasury is too great.
"Your Majesty, the generals of the various departments have sent orders to inquire whether to attack?" The person who came was Wei Chengze, who was demoted to a scribe.
After being removed from his post for a long time, he also adapted to his current position, and only humility and peace remained on his face.
"Decree all departments, with the Chinese army beating the drum as the trumpet, must go all out, and it will be decided in one battle." Wei Hou's voice was deep and unquestionable.
"Yes." Wei Chengze bowed to his father, and then retreated.
……
In front of the Wei army, the soldiers of all departments were ready, just waiting for the Chinese army to give orders.
In this battle, the Wei army dispatched a total of 40,000 foot soldiers, 20,000 archers and infantry.
If it weren't for the terrain, the Marquis of Wei would probably send more troops.
The strategic policy of the Wei army was to carry out the most powerful attack with overwhelming strength.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
In the anticipation of the Wei soldiers, the drums of the Chinese army finally sounded.
"The big shield man covers, the crossbowman strikes......"
Amid the shouts of the military officials, the Wei army began to move in the front.
Thick shields were raised, and the archers in front of them were shrouded in sturdy shields.
Due to the limited range of the archers, they had to move forward in formation in order to shoot their arrows at Changping Pass.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
The footsteps of the soldiers, the sound of the big shield on their heads, made an earth-shattering sound.
Even from a distance, Wei Hou could catch these roars.
This also made Wei Hou, who was usually moody and invisible, rarely show excitement.
The long-cherished wishes of Mu Hou and Cheng Hou will be completed in their own hands, and it will be difficult for Wei Hou to calm down.
"The ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty, let's see Hongyi carry forward the Wei Kingdom!" Wei Hou muttered.
The first goal, Marquis Wei, is to remove the marquis on his head and replace him with a public position.
Among the five great powers in the world, only Wei, the chief power, is still the Hou State, which is the most unacceptable to the Hou of Wei.
"Ji Zhao, I think who will protect you this time?" Wei Hou gritted his teeth.
To say, Ji Zhao here is the current son of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the co-ruler of the world.
Without the barrier of Changping Pass, Chen Guo was like half of the paper in front of Wei Hou, and there was no natural danger barrier in the Zhou room.
Not to mention the ambition in the heart of the Marquis of Wei, at this time on the front line of the Wei army, the great war has begun.
After the archers entered the range of the Qin army, the Wei army's bed crossbow troops began to fire to cover the march of the army.
"Woo Woo ......"
The near-forward bed crossbow began to roar, and fired a terrifying feathered arrow nearly two meters long.
The high-speed flying enhanced version of the long arrow soon flew to Changping Pass.
Since it was a test shot, many arrows passed the threshold and fell to the rear.
However, the big arrow that fell on the head of the city caused great damage to the Qin army at the head of the city.
Each arrow can basically be worn with two, or even three Qin pawns.
The unlucky eggs that are shot will also be taken out by the follow-up power of the feather arrows, several meters.
"Adjust quickly, prepare to shoot ...... again," the Wei army bed crossbow array, the military officials shouted loudly.
At the Changping Pass, although the Qin soldiers were intimidated by the might of the Wei army's soldiers, they still mustered up the courage and shot down a branch of feather arrows to block the advance of the Wei army's archers.
But even so, the arrows of the Qin army could not cause trouble to the Wei archers. Most of their attacks were blocked by large shields.
The Wei archers advanced steadily, and it was difficult for the Qin soldiers to stop them.
At this time, the Wei army's bed crossbow was fired again, bringing out another whistling sound.
The Qin army's attack was once again stalled.
At this time, standing behind the heavy shield, Gu Jian's heart began to sink.
Although the Wei army was only attacking with a bed crossbow now, Gu Jian could have a premonition that a thunderous attack would erupt when he was about to erupt.
"Hurry up and inform Wei Shuai and ask him to send troops to support quickly, our army may not be able to resist for long." Gu Jian shouted to the herald on the side.
In the confrontation between the Qin and Wei sides, the Wei crossbowmen had already arrived at the predetermined position.
At this time, only fifty or sixty crossbowmen were shot and killed by the Wei army.
And the Qin army was killed by the bed crossbow, but there were nearly 100.
When all the Wei archers were in place, the foot soldiers in the rear also began to advance.
They pushed huge siege vehicles and elongated ladders and slowly drove towards Changping Pass.
"All the departments are listening to the order, full of arrows, ready to launch ......"
Amid the shouts of the military officials, the Wei archers drew their iron arrows and drew their bows to the fullest.
"Falling Shield ......"
Ahead, the big shield hand of the Wei army, in the roar of the military officials, put down the big shield on his head.
At the same time, a sharp "put" sounded in the large array of Wei archers.
As soon as the word "put" was shouted, nearly 10,000 archers released the strings in unison, and a wave of monstrous arrow rain enveloped the entire sky.
"Dodge...... Dodge ......"
Changping was closed, and the roars of the Qin army generals rang out in all directions.
When the rain of arrows arrives, there are always people who fail to find a place to hide. The rain of arrows fell, and nearly 300 Qin soldiers were killed in an instant.
And at this time, the archers who laid down their great shields were also fully drawn. After the first wave of arrows of the Wei army fell, the second wave was also ready to go.
"Putting ......"
The whistling sound was loud, and it was a black curtain, covering the Qin army on the Changping Pass.
"Woo Woo ......"
The endless feather arrows fell, and many Qin soldiers died tragically.
But compared to the first wave of attacks, because everyone dodged properly, only fifty or sixty Qin soldiers were shot.
At the same time, the third wave of the Wei army's attack was prepared.
"Putting ......"
In the roar of the Wei army officials, the whistling sound was loud.
In this way, under the fierce attack of the Wei army, the Qin soldiers were firmly suppressed behind the battlements.
Gu Jian's guards were also shot and killed, and at this time, he was full of despair about guarding this pass.
"Did the Chinese army send someone to help?" Gu Jian said to the guard beside him.
"General, General Yinghui is at the gate, but he can't come up at this time." The guard replied.
That's right, under Changping Pass, the people of Yinghui's army are waiting there.
Going to Changping is a live target, and Yinghui will naturally not be stupid.
He could only wait, there was always an end to the rain of arrows of the Wei army, and that was when the real beginning of the great war began.
When the Wei army's foot soldiers walked to the front of the arrow array, the strength of the Wei army's bows and arrows weakened a lot.
The Qin soldiers who were closed finally ushered in a chance to breathe.
But what they will face next is an even more brutal test.
