Jazz warns some book lovers not to make unprovoked attacks, otherwise Jazz will ban or even ban the account!
******
The Zhao army camp at the foot of Gray Spring Mountain, built at the mouth of the mountain gorge, blocked the Qin army's only way south to Handan, and Fanwu City, not far from the east, thwarted the Qin army's attacks again and again.
Pingsuri, the morale of the Zhao army has always been very high, no matter training and combat, they are like divine help, encounter the enemy and break the enemy, because they have the 'God of War' Li Mu! However, since the first two days, everything has changed. Originally, I thought that the so-called 'strong army' trained by Fusu, the eldest son of the king of Qin, would definitely be able to defeat the 'strong army' trained by the eldest son of the king of Qin, Li Muzhi, but to everyone's horror, their invincible 'God of War' was beaten to the ground by a twelve-and-a-half-year-old child, and there was no power to resist. For a while, the atmosphere in the Zhao camp suddenly changed strangely, and a trace of wrinkles and worries quietly crept up on the foreheads of the Zhao soldiers who were full of confidence!
But with Li Mu's high prestige, although the Zhao army was a little depressed, but the army's morale was not in turmoil, they stubbornly believed: their general Li Mu is invincible, although he occasionally loses once, but it is just the little prince of Qin who has taken **** luck. In the end, their great generals will still beat the Qin army cleanly and neatly again as before, holding their heads and running away! And Li Mu and other generals of the Zhao army also tried their best to make an attitude of 'victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers', and tried their best to appease the hearts of the army!
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of war drums in the far north of the sky, and the sentry of the Zhao army, who was guarding the watchtower and condescendingly monitoring the situation on the battlefield, immediately noticed the abnormality: above the horizon, the first thing that appeared was a line of towering spear tips, but countless orderly and murderous Qin army emerged. "The Qin army is going to attack the village!" The sentinels who reflected immediately sounded the alarm.
"Dang——, dang—" The melodious and loud bell began to echo in the sky above the Zhao camp, and the Zhao army, who had been prepared, immediately reacted and ran out of the camp one after another, lining up to meet the enemy. Li Mu and a group of generals of the Zhao army also rushed out of the camp tent and came to the fortress to observe the enemy's situation.
In the sky not far away, a huge and dense black soon appeared, with guns and halberds like a forest, soldiers like rain, and the momentum was brave through Changhong! Li Mu's face suddenly became solemn: "The momentum of the Qin army's attack this time is very much better than before, it seems that the previous defeat still has a great impact on the morale of both sides!" Alas, I really regret why I shouldn't have been invited to fight on a whim! However, I really didn't expect that the son of the Qin State, Fu Su, would be so powerful at a young age! Although I don't know how his elite army is trained, if I can know the method, I, Li Mu, must do better than him! ”
It's just that now the military situation is urgent, and there is no time to think about it, Li Mu calmly trained and ordered: "Prepare for archers, prepare for rolling wood and stones, and don't let the Qin army step into the camp for half a step!" "Wow!" A group of generals of the Zhao army who had already divided the labor immediately took the order and left, preparing to attack the Qin army head-on, and the shame of the day before yesterday!
At this moment, the Qin army under the Gray Spring Mountain had not yet launched an attack, but there was already an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound in the direction of Fanwu City not far from the east, Li Mu's eyes shrank, and a fierce murderous aura appeared on his elegant face: "The Qin army has also attacked Fanwu City, so in this way, isn't the Qin army almost pouring out!" What do Wang Jian and that Fusu want to do, do you think that if you defeat me Li Mu once, you can defeat my Zhao army!? Then you also underestimate me Li Mu too much! ”
The Qin army stopped at the foot of Gray Spring Mountain, and prepared a long-range attack weapon like a bed crossbow at a distance of about five hundred steps. At that time, although the methods of siege were: Lin, hook, Chong, ladder, moat, water, hole, sudden, hollow, ant-attached, Xuanche, etc., but in the face of the Zhao army's Gray Spring Mountain camp built on the middle of the mountain, the attack methods were lackluster!
The battle is about to begin! The Qin soldiers followed the strange and chivalrous conventions of the Warring States period, and shouted: "The Zhao people will not surrender!" Zhao people don't descend! ......" The soldiers of Zhao also struggled to echo: "Zhao people do not surrender!" Zhao people don't fall! ……”
Seeing that the surrender was fruitless, Wang Jian who led the army waved his hand, and hundreds of bed crossbows were launched together, and suddenly more than 100 giant arrows roared across the void and rushed straight to Zhao Ying. After an instant, I saw a loud sound in Zhao Yingli's "splitting the horn", and many fences and watchtowers that were hit by huge arrows were instantly shattered under the huge impact, turning into a canopy of scattered debris! And once the unlucky soldiers of the Zhao Army were shot by a giant arrow, they were almost rushed through the chest, and they were killed on the spot under the blur of flesh and blood! For a while, there was a scream in the Zhao military camp, and the sound of shattering continued, and the entire camp seemed to be shrouded in a beacon fire that covered the sky!
However, although Qin's crossbows were sharp, the Zhao army did not panic at all, and their nerves had already been sharpened very strong in the wars year after year. They were waiting, waiting for the Qin army to attack, because the Zhao army did not have a powerful crossbow machine, and there was no effective means of attacking the Qin army at a long distance.
After the Qin army's crossbow machine was fired several times, the rain of arrows stopped. Wang Jian drank lightly: "Drink!" The soldiers of the Qin army took out the wine bags they carried with them and drank them bitterly. Drinking before the war has become an indispensable way for the Qin army to increase their courage!
The inferior wine slid down his throat, and the hot feeling made Qin Jun's blood boil, and his eyes also became red and fanatical under the urging of alcohol! Wang Jian waved his hand: "Crossbow arrow cover!" "Wow!" After a burst of war drums, tens of thousands of Qin crossbowmen dressed in light armor lined up in formation and began to advance towards the Zhao camp, preparing to carry out the Qin army's pre-war routine against the enemy: covering the battlefield with crossbow arrows!
Suddenly, the group of crossbowmen advanced to about two hundred and fifty steps in front of Zhao's camp, but was blocked by a huge deep and wide trench of the Zhao army, and could only start firing on the spot!
"Shoot!" The first three teams of Qin crossbowmen divided into nine columns raised their crossbows under the officer's order, and shot the first wave of arrows towards the crossbow, and the dense rain of arrows instantly covered the sky, sending out a huge scream and rushing towards Zhao Ying. After shooting, the first three columns of Qin troops immediately sat down on the spot and wound their crossbows with their feet, while the middle three columns of Qin crossbowmen began to raise their crossbows to the sky, and then launched a new wave of offensives......
"Grab and grab the ......" The sound of arrows landing in a row came from the ground, as dense and continuous as raindrops! In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ying's antlers, fences, watchtowers, tents, and ground were all decorated with a dense rain of arrows, and the sharp Qin crossbow suddenly peared the front and back of the Zhao army's fence! Even the Zhao army, who was hiding behind the fence and shield, was shot countless people, and countless blood flowers were released at one time, causing a scream to shock the sky!
"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng! ......" The Qin people behind the formation began to shout vigorously to cheer for the crossbowmen.
"Break Qin! Break Qin! Break Qin! ......" The strong archers and crossbowmen of the Zhao army also began to exert their might behind the fence, launching waves of fierce attacks against the crossbowmen of the Qin army.
In the frenzied rain of arrows, one Qin soldier fell down with a muffled grunt, and another Qin soldier quickly and silently substituted for him. The brave Qin soldiers only knew how to perform their duties mechanically and conscientiously in the midst of the flying war, and did not pay attention to the rain of arrows in the sky at all. It's not that they didn't expect that they would die under the rain of arrows, but the harsh military discipline demanded that they must do so, otherwise the punishment they would receive would be ten times the pain of death!
The brilliance of human nature has been extinguished, and the fear of death has been concealed, and the military discipline of the Qin army is harsh!
After several rounds of ruthless firing in a row, the two armies, whose offensive and defensive methods were a little too monotonous, achieved results from each other, but did not form a one-sided trend! Wang Jian waved his big hand and ordered: "The crossbowmen retreat, and the infantry will start attacking the village!" "Wow!"
The advancing war drums sounded earth-shatteringly, and the soldiers of the Qin army of the brigade immediately began to scream and shout, waving swords, beryllium, halberds and other weapons to charge towards the Zhao camp. When the first trench arrived, the well-trained Qin troops immediately began to build dozens of wooden bridges in the rain of arrows.
In the process of building the bridge, from time to time, the Qin soldiers were shot by the Zhao army's sharp arrows, and the Qin soldiers who shot the body still had armor to barely resist, but the Qin soldiers who shot the head died almost immediately! Why? The answer is simple and surprising: because all the Qin troops, whether generals or soldiers, they are never equipped with helmets. In the eyes of the Qin people, the heavy helmet affected their agility and courage when killing enemies. The man in the gate is so brave!
After the end of the battle, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army rushed over the wooden bridge, and swooped towards the Zhao camp in front of them under the crazy influence of alcohol. The second trench arrived, and just as the Qin army was about to break through again, there were suddenly countless dull loud noises like the sky collapsing! The earth cracked, and dozens of huge pits suddenly appeared on the flat ground, and the bottom of the pits was covered with sharp wooden stakes and bamboo thorns!
For a while, countless Qin soldiers hurriedly couldn't hold their feet and planted them into the pit like dumplings, and the miserable howls suddenly sounded like heartbreaks! Blood flowed all over the ravine, and many Qin soldiers did not die, hanging sharp bamboo thorns and making the last convulsions in pain!
The Qin soldiers were furious, and the brave Guanzhong man roared angrily, and even stuck his weapon on the ground under the rain of arrows in the sky, and easily put the armor and clothes on his body down, revealing his muscular and sturdy upper body. In their angry eyes, the Qin soldiers pulled out their weapons shirtless, stepped on the trembling earth, and slaughtered Zhao Ying like a group of fierce war lions.
The truth of history is shocking: perhaps it was neglected, or perhaps it was deliberate, the armor became the most stubborn equipment in the Qin army, and its sophistication was far inferior to that of the other six countries, and it was completely incommensurate with the powerful and advanced weapons industry of the Qin State! Sima Qian recorded in the "Historical Records" that the Qin army on the battlefield was not only bareheaded, but even bare-chested and shirtless, and even took off the only light armor, because for the Qin people, the heavy helmets and armor hindered them from achieving success!
This brave Qin army conveys the strong martial spirit of the Qin people to people in every word of the ancient books!
Bald and shirtless, ignoring arrows, this is the true demeanor of this iron-blooded elite soldier 2,000 years ago!
In the blink of an eye, the Zhao camp arrived, and the bald and shirtless Qin soldiers waved the weapons in their hands and launched a desperate fight with the Zhao soldiers in the trench in front of the wall. The sword light flew, blood splattered, countless stumps rose in the air, and the fierce battle continued......
In the midst of the chaos, another group of bald and shirtless Qin soldiers carried a sturdy huge log towards the strong fence of the Zhao camp and began to violently ram it, and the Zhao soldiers who were close at hand frantically attacked these Qin soldiers with weapons and arrows in their hands. However, the brave Qin soldiers seemed to have no idea what death was, the sergeants in front fell, and the sergeants in the back took over, and countless solid wooden fences were cracked into pieces under the crazy slamming of the Qin soldiers who were not afraid of death! ……
The battlefield was in a state of scorching in a tragic hand-to-hand fight for a while!
At the same time, a similar tragic battle was also going on under Fanwu City!
Human life, at this time, is as cheap as ants!
******
The beacon tower of Zhao was set up at intervals of 20 miles, and it was a square fortress with a length and width of about 30 meters. The outermost part is a fort wall about three zhang (seven meters) high, and in the middle is a Yantai that is also about three zhang. The open space between the fort wall and Qiyantai is the houses and baggage warehouses where the border army and militia of Zhao State are stationed! Each beacon tower has a flint chief and a flint guard, about 20 people, and transmits the enemy's situation by raising fire, making smoke, beating drums, etc.! They are Li Mu's first magic weapon to defeat the enemy!
The evening sunset shrouds the earth, and the warm sunlight gilds everything with a beautiful gold edge! Next to a beacon tower in the westernmost part of Gray Spring Mountain, four or five Zhao army militiamen on the fort wall were vigilantly watching the surrounding enemy situation on the fort wall!
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves running in the distance in the northern sky, the sound was rapid and clear, obviously the person who came had approached the beacon tower, and Zhao Bing immediately became alert. "There is a situation! There is a case! Alert! Alert! ......" The Zhao soldiers shouted loudly that all the Zhao troops in the fort would go to the fort to prepare for battle, and at the same time they looked at the situation with wide eyes in order to raise a fire alarm at any time.
For a while, more than a dozen Zhao soldiers rushed out of the fort after hearing the news, each holding a weapon and rushing to climb the castle wall. However, as the crowd approached, the hearts of the Zhao soldiers were put back into their stomachs: this was a group of about ten people fleeing, all dressed in ordinary Zhao Di clothes, holding blood-stained swords in their hands, and they had almost gone through a bloody battle; And behind the fleeing crowd, there are about ten or so small groups of cavalry of the Qin Army who are pursuing this crowd! In mid-air, the arrows whirred, making people tremble, although the fleeing Zhao people had approached the beacon tower, but the Qin soldiers looked like they were in hot pursuit!
The fleeing crowd gradually approached the beacon tower, and the leader shouted from a distance: "Brothers, we are also the people of Zhao State, the Qin army is chasing us, save us!" "The voice is round, obviously Zhao Di's accent! The leader of the Sui Chang suddenly became patriotic and shouted: "Open the gate of the fort quickly and let the people in!" The heavy fortress door suddenly opened, and ten fleeing people swept into the beacon tower like a gust of wind!
"Boom", the gate of the fort was just closed, and the cavalry of the Qin army also chased to the bottom of the fort, and the chief of Sui shouted: "Shoot me, let the Qin army and this group of dogs and wolves taste the power of our Zhao people!" "There are few Qin soldiers, but the Zhao soldiers are not afraid, and they have opened their bows and arrows, and they are about to fire fiercely at the Qin army in the beacon tower.
However, at this moment, suddenly, there was a heart-rending scream from behind Suichang, and the surprised Suichang turned around to see that there were already seven or eight soldiers lying in a pool of blood behind him. And the refugees, who were originally in a hurry, turned into a group of bloodthirsty butchers with blood-stained swords in their hands!
Sui Chang opened his frightened eyes and said, "You guys, you are not Zhao people!" One of the leading refugees smiled hideously: "Yes, we are Qin Jun!" Remember our names, don't be a fool, we are the 'wolf teeth' special forces under the command of the Great Qin Fusu Gongzi! ”
The angry Sui Chang was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted, "Despicable Qin people! Brothers, kill me to avenge my death! The remaining dozen or so Zhao soldiers roared angrily, and all kinds of sharp swords came up with red eyes.
The Qin soldiers showed a cruel smile on their faces, and the long sword in their hands quickly slashed through the air, and all the Zhao soldiers immediately felt that their eyes flashed with a dazzling light, and their eyes unconsciously closed, and their necks suddenly cooled, and they immediately lost all consciousness!
Looking at Zhao Bing, who was lying in a pool of blood, the marquis of the Qin army, who led the team, laughed: "This kind of combat power, you don't even deserve to give us 'wolf teeth' boots, you want to take revenge?" Let's go in the next life! Brothers, give me a fire to burn this bird fort, and then go to the next beacon tower!" "Wow!" The brave Qin soldiers casually set a fire, and in the midst of the fireworks, they joined the Qin cavalry and disappeared into the vast sky!
The raid battle officially began when the main forces of the Qin and Zhao armies under Gray Spring Mountain and Fanwu City were in full swing!

In the dark night, beside a beacon tower, a group of agile figures dressed in black quietly sneaked slowly from all directions beside the beacon fire. Suddenly, at the moment when the moonlight above his head was obscured by dark clouds and slightly dimmed, a very small metallic light suddenly flashed in the grass, and then after an extremely slight sound of "swishing ......", Zhao Jun, who was patrolling the fortress wall, suddenly felt a sudden pain in his neck as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, and then he was shocked to find that his hands and feet quickly lost all sensation, and then his eyes gradually blurred, and although his mouth desperately wanted to make a warning, his throat seemed to be paralyzed and powerless. Only in a pause, the lifeless body slowly withered against the fortress wall and fell to the ground!
After sweeping away the patrolling Zhao soldiers, a group of black shadows quickly sneaked to the city, threw a sturdy flying catch, and climbed the fortress wall with the agility of a tanuki. Immediately, according to their respective division of labor, everyone sneaked towards Zhao Jun's residence in the fort.
In the dark barracks, Zhao Junsui's soldiers were sleeping soundly! Suddenly, a terrible sword light flashed, and Zhao Jun, who was still asleep, suddenly went to hell without any pain!
The fire came loudly, and another beacon disappeared into the raging flames! ……
*******
In the camping camp in the wild, a group of more than 100 Zhao army rangers who have always been elusive are camping in the forest.
Next to the roaring bonfire, Zhao Jun lay down in a sleepy place. After a hard day of patrolling the territory, they are enjoying a hard-won glimmer of peace and tranquility!
And in the east, west, north, south and north of the camp to two hundred paces away, the Zhao army arranged sentries for the night vigil. However, in the dead of night, the sentinels, who had been tired all day during the day, couldn't help but doze off! They had never been able to sneak into the Zhao Realm silently, and they didn't realize how dangerous it would be to do so!
Suddenly, one by one, brisk black shadows quietly sneaked close to the sentry of the Zhao army, or used a poisonous crossbow to seal the throat with blood or a mouthpiece to the point, quickly sending the guarding Zhao army into heaven silently! The heavy twilight of the night covered up this bloody scene!
A group of sturdy black-armored cavalry exuding the breath of death slowly surrounded the sleeping Zhao army from all directions, stepping through the wet grass at night, setting off a slight "Sisuo" sound! Gradually, a hundred black-armored cavalry quickly approached the campsite with a roaring bonfire, and the bright flames instantly illuminated a group of murderous and hideous faces!
"Whew!" The leading officer raised the halberd in his hand and nodded violently, and the black-armored cavalry suddenly shouted, driving the galloping iron hooves to roll towards the sleeping Zhao army like a gust of death wind.
The halberd is flying, the cold wind is reflecting the fire, the heads are quite soaring into the sky, and the blood is thrown into the sky...... The long black night has added a group of unangry souls!
******
It's a town of about two or three hundred households, located at the beautiful southern foot of Grey Springs Mountain! The small town is peaceful and quiet, leisurely and pleasant, and more than 1,000 Zhao people who have settled here have lived and multiplied here for hundreds of years since their ancestors! The strong nostalgia of the Chinese has created a strong feeling that these Zhao people cannot leave their homeland, so that although they face the raging fire that is burning in the sky, they still choose to stay in their hometown! Of course, this is not unrelated to the fact that Li Mu, the 'god of war' of Zhao State, personally sat here and gave Zhao people strong self-confidence!
The night gradually deepened, and the moon, which had just passed the full moon, showed only a small curved crescent in the sky, and refused to show its full face like a shy girl! The night became very dark and dark because of it!
The shower in the black twilight of the town is quiet: the oil lamps of hundreds of houses have long been extinguished, and only a few lights of inns and restaurants are still flickering in the autumn wind; And the house dog, who was suddenly awakened by some sound, also roared and whimpered from time to time, venting his dissatisfaction; Then there are the crickets who don't know which corner to hide in the brick cracks, they are the most diligent singers in the night!
The whole village was in a deep slumber, so quiet that it seemed lifeless!
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of shaking on the ground, and the half-asleep house dogs were shocked in their hearts, and they hurriedly raised their heads from the ground, looking around vigilantly, and looking at the surrounding environment with sharp teeth!
Gradually, the trembling of the earth became more and more pronounced, and the air was quickly filled with the element of unease, and the pretended and quiet town was quietly violently charged with a layer of danger. ......As the house dog at the southernmost tip of the town first sensed the danger and barked wildly, the whole town immediately sounded like a chorus of dogs!
The sleeping people were alarmed, and many of the rooms were lit up with bright lights, followed by the creak of the doors opening, and the heads of the men and men quickly poked out of the room!
"Uncle, what's going on?" "Aunt Qing, where is the dog barking? So fierce! ”…… Amid the barking dogs barking one after another, some inexplicably panicked Zhao people began to inquire into each other. However, the people who had just woken up could only smile wryly and shake their heads, all of them looking misty!
However, the answer soon appeared: just when the Zhao people were puzzled, suddenly, a blazing torch lit up in the wilderness not far from the south of the town, and then there was the thunder that made the earth tremble, and the shouting of killing full of soaring murderous aura! "Kill——! Qin Feng——! Qin Feng——! ……”
The doubts on the faces of the Zhao people were instantly replaced by great fear: "It's Qin Bing!" It's Qin Bing! Oh my God, how did they get here by avoiding the beacon tower and the eyes of my Zhao Guo ranger!? "The answer is not important, what matters is how to escape under the butcher's knife of the brutal Qin army. As a result, the Zhao people, who were filled with great fear in their hearts, shouted: "Damn it, the Qin soldiers are here, go quickly——! "San'er, Qin Bing is here, hurry up your mother-in-law, run away!" …… The frightened Zhao people called their wives and children, robbed the old and the young, and prepared to flee.
However, late, utterly late! How could the sluggish and foolish people of Zhao State match the reaction speed of the most elite new iron cavalry of Qin State. Just when people's houses were in chaos, the Qin soldiers entered the town!
The sky-high fire burst into flames, spreading rapidly from one house to the entire town, and the raging flames reflected the dark sky and illuminated the hideous faces of the Qin soldiers! In the sound of "rumbling" iron hooves, one after another house doors were kicked open, and a murderous Qin soldier pounced in! The screams of men, the begs of women, the cries of children, the wails of dogs...... Countless voices full of grief and pity lit up the night sky even more!
At the same time, in the flickering light of the sword, the people of Zhao who fled all over the street were also mercilessly killed to the ground by the fierce Qin soldiers walking on the street, their heads rolling around, and flesh and blood flying...... There is no hell on earth than this!
The fire grew bigger and bigger, but the sounds of begging for mercy gradually went out, and finally even the howling of the dogs disappeared. In the raging flames, a blood-stained Qin army iron cavalry galloped out of the firelight with a rich and contented bag, and quickly disappeared into the vast dark night!
The fire in the dark night continued to burn, and finally turned this tragic scene into flying ashes! ……
******
This night, there are many more such stories!
I don't know whether it is an honor or a sorrow, but the Zhao people have become the first country in the world to receive the power of ultra-modern warfare and special warfare!
The rear of the Zhao army, overnight, became a mess!
