Chapter 276: The Tragic First Battle

"Knock knock~"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Outside Yong'an City, the earth-shattering drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and rows of Qin soldiers formed a square array to move forward.

On the opposite side of the Qin army's phalanx, 50,000 soldiers of the Western Army had already lined up neatly, with crossbowmen in front, sword and shield guards spread along the two wings, and 10,000 cavalry were divided into two teams, standing in a conical shape on both wings.

More than half a month passed, and Qin's reinforcements finally arrived in Da'an County and completed the convergence with the Qing army.

After the convergence of the two armies, the army stationed outside Da'an County reached 380,000 people, the two armies were mainly General Hao Ge, the prince of Su, and the 380,000 army was divided into three routes, all the way for the 100,000 Qin army led by Wang Ben to attack Yong'an City, all the way for the 80,000 Qiang cavalry led by Yao Chang to attack Xianshi City, and Hao Ge led 200,000 Qing troops to attack Huangshi City.

The three armies each gave orders, each attacking a city, and the grain and grass supply of hundreds of thousands of troops was mainly supplied by Prince Su's mansion.

Yong'an, Huangshi, Xianshi three counties from west to east almost just in a diagonal line, the northernmost Yong'an County, the southernmost Xianshi County, Huangshi County is in the center, the three counties are respectively Qin Liangyu and Hu Luguang led by the west and north two armies garrisoned, the middle of the Huangshi County is led by Sima Yu personally led by the Chinese army three battalions and 20,000 Tang cavalry garrison.

"What a female general, no wonder Sima Yu is so relieved to let her be in charge!"

In front of the Qin army's big array, looking at the dense formation of 50,000 soldiers of the Western Army with few flaws, Wang Ben, the young general of the Qin army, couldn't help but show a trace of sincere appreciation on his face.

As a female general, Qin Liangyu dared to directly pull the army out of the city to fight with the Qin army in the face of the Qin army, which was twice as big as herself, what courage and self-confidence she was.

The command of tens of thousands of troops in front of the formation is by no means as easy as imagined, the combination of near and far arms and the flexible use of the formation can be mastered in a short time, any small mistake may evolve into a fatal crisis, leading to the rout of the whole army, but from the Western Army's military formation, Wang Ben can not see any opportunity to take advantage of.

"Attack!"

After silently glancing at the Western Army's military formation, Wang Ben ordered with a wave of one hand.

Since there is no flaw in it, there is only one way to rely on the force to attack.

Morale can not be vented, the Qin army first arrived in Gongzhou, this is their first battle, if they do not fight a battle and retreat, the morale of the army is not good.

"Kill!"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Amid the earth-shattering footsteps and shouts of killing, countless Qin soldiers formed a square formation and quickly rushed towards the Western Army formation.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

Looking at the shield-lifting infantry in front of him, the female general Qin Liang raised his right hand lightly, and ordered in a condensed voice, and tens of thousands of crossbowmen spread out in a U-shaped line along the two wings.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

When the army entered the effective range of 150 meters, Qin Liangyu personally stepped forward and gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, attacking the Qin army that was attacking.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

"Ahh~"

Most of the dropped arrows fell on the shield wall and made a dense clanging sound, and a small number of arrows hit the Qin soldiers behind the shield wall through the gaps, causing a miserable scream.

"Crossbow Array!"

Entering the range of 120 meters, the Qin army's follow-up 2,000 Qin crossbowmen also began to deploy their crossbows.

In the original world, the sharpness of the Qin crossbow shocked the six countries, and it was once a sharp weapon for the Qin State to conquer the world, and the range of 120 meters was also the best distance to be able to exert the power of the Qin crossbow.

After coming to this world, with the continuous unit conquest and rapid expansion, the production volume of Qin crossbows has long been unable to meet the millions of Qin troops, and these 2,000 crossbowmen are still won by Wang Ben.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At the sound of an order, thousands of crossbow arrows rose into the air and landed on the positions of the Western Army, setting off a burst of blood and screams.

"Enemy crossbow formation, release arrows!"

The first round of fire from the Qin crossbowmen caused the Western army to damage hundreds of crossbowmen, and Zhou Guozhu, a Chinese general who commanded the crossbowmen in front, immediately ordered to adjust the firing range.

"Shield!"

The shield soldiers of the Qin army, who were responding on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to set up a formation to block it.

"Ahh~"

The arrows shot by tens of thousands of crossbowmen instantly covered the entire Qin army, and the Qin crossbowmen with low defense on the rear of the Qin army instantly missed the gaps in the shield array and took away many Qin crossbowmen soldiers.

"Withdraw!"

After three consecutive waves of arrow rain, more than half of the 2,000 Qin crossbowmen were killed and wounded, and Wang Ben decisively ordered the Qin crossbowmen to retreat.

Although the Qin crossbowmen only sent two waves of arrows in front of the battle, they also restrained the crossbowmen of the Western Army for two minutes, gaining time for the infantry's assault.

After the Qin crossbowmen retreated, the crossbowmen of the Western army, who had no suppression, once again focused on the infantry phalanx, and the dense rain of arrows continued to shoot, as the pace of the Qin army got closer and closer, the power of the arrows gradually increased, and more and more Qin soldiers fell under the rain of arrows.

"Rush over!"

"Kill!"

However, the dense rain of arrows could no longer stop the pace of the Qin army, and under the leadership of the generals and colonels of the army, they rushed into front of the Western Army.

"Sword and shield hand forward!"

"Kill!"

"Stomp, stomp!"

At the sound of an order, the Western Saber and Shield Men quickly stepped forward and marched forward in a dense military formation.

"Kill!"

In the continuous sword light and sword shadow, tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies were intertwined in front of the Western Army, blood flew, stumps and broken arms flew together, and the entire battlefield was filled with a tragic color.

"Cavalry sortie"

Within half an hour, there were soldiers who continued to fall in front of the intertwined array, looking at the soldiers of the two armies who were still glued together, Wang Ben frowned slightly, stretched out the two fingers of his right hand and waved forward lightly and ordered.

In Changzhou, Wang Ben had already seen the combat strength of the Hua army, and he was not surprised that it was able to block the frontal assault of the Qin army.

"Attack!"

"Stomp, stomp!"

"Boom"

The 20,000 Qin army iron cavalry on both wings quickly dispatched and divided into two teams to make a detour towards the Western Army's large array.

"Two-winged spear and shield hands come forward, crossbowmen come back!"

In the sound of the rumbling hooves of the cavalry of the Qin army on both wings, rows of Western army spear and shield men quickly went up to the front and set up the two wings, and the Western army crossbowmen who retreated from the front quickly filled the formation behind the spear and shield men.

"Kill!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and the cavalry of the Qin army on both wings quickly rushed to the front of the Western army, and the crossbowmen of the Western army quickly launched a shot at the Qin cavalry through the gap in the shield array.

At a short distance of tens of meters, the penetration power of the heavy crossbow arrows was exerted to the maximum, and the arrows that shot out angrily directly pierced the armor of the cavalry, and the man neighed on his horse and shot a famous cavalryman directly to the ground, causing chaos.

"Bang bang bang!"

After three rounds of crossbow arrows, thousands of Qin cavalry on both wings fell directly to the ground, and in the chaos, they quickly collided with the Western army's gun array, setting off a bigger fight.

"Cavalry attack!"

The army on three sides was glued together, and only 20,000 of the 50,000 Western Army had not been dispatched, facing the Qin army surrounded and suppressed on three sides, Qin Liangyu was not afraid, and directly waved his hand, and the 10,000 Western Army cavalry on both wings quickly attacked, killing the Qin cavalry that was attacking.

"Boom~"

The cavalry of the Western Army, all of which had been replaced with heavy armor, were like fast-moving steel fortresses, killing the Qin army.

Bang bang bang!

The more intense cavalry charge quickly crashed into the Qin army's formation, directly crushing through.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

With the dense roar of countless armor collisions, one by one the cavalry of the Qin army were directly knocked to the ground, and then immediately trampled to death by the heavy iron hooves that followed closely.

"Quick! Get around them! ”

The tragic scene did not deter the battle-hardened Qin army, and the teams quickly bypassed the encirclement.

The air was filled with the sound of war drums and fierce shouts of slaughter, and the thick color of blood rendered the entire land.
