Chapter 289: The Great War Begins

Dozens of people have been killed by crossbow shots along the way, although these dozens of people are insignificant compared to the 20,000 army, but he can't send a small group of spies to find out the news, and at the same time, an inexplicable emotion makes Wang Jian have a shadow in his heart.

Five hundred BMWs, are you kidding? When did the chasing BMW become a rotten street beast?

Great Qin is rich in war horses, there are even legendary spirit beasts in the sky in the Western Regions, and the King of Qin has a sweat and blood horse, this horse travels five hundred a day, it is a rare spirit beast in a hundred years, and only in those mysterious areas where no one arrives.

The Qin people will select the strongest war horses among the green horses and put them into the Tianshan Mountains, most of the war horses will be eaten by wild beasts, but a small number of them will also mate with sweat and blood BMWs, and then the foals born are often chasing the wind BMW, two chasing BMWs mate together, and the foal born will have a 50% chance of being a chasing BMW.

Over the years, Daqin has long formed a complete war horse breeding system, and twenty or thirty wind-chasing horses are born every ten years, and these wind-chasing horses are left to breed the next generation, and the remaining part is given to those excellent generals, and the other part has become the war horse of King Qin.

Now in the entire Great Qin, there are more than 30 wind-chasing horses, one Lu and one sweat and blood, Wang Jian sat down on this trip is a wind-chasing horse, but look at the other party, 500 cavalry sat down and all chased the wind BMW, although the other party still can't fight against 20,000 heavy cavalry, but you can't beat the other party! People just keep harassing you, and you can't do anything about him.

But now Wang Jian didn't have time to think about where these chasing horses came from, he was thinking about how many chasing horses the other party had, if there were also 20,000 horses to form a heavy cavalry, then his army would have no advantage at all.

Wang Jian had already told this information to Bai Qi in the rear through the way of flying pigeons, and Bai Qi had no good way but to be cautious.

Before the battle started, it was already somewhat beyond the expectations of the Qin army.

"This place is less than thirty miles away from Hongnong, the lord must have made preparations, our task is complete, let's fight with them again in a while, withdraw!"

Han Baohu looked at Qin Bing from afar, suppressed his inner desire to fight, and led his subordinates to gallop towards Hongnong Fangxi with an order.

"Pass my order, all the army will cheer me up, the other party will be prepared this time, and enter the battle state at any time!"

Wang Jian also put all kinds of distracting thoughts behind, and led his subordinates to keep speeding up, and 20,000 cavalry set off the yellow sand in the sky and rushed towards Hongnong.

Liu Yuetian had already made preparations under the city, first setting up a large fence outside the city, behind the fence was Sun Shangxiang's 1,000 musketeers, and then dozens of trebuchets that had been erected, and the cavalry and infantry were waiting for orders to attack at any time.

"Lord, the Qin army is twenty miles away, and it is now rushing towards us at full speed!"

Han Baohu rushed to Liu Yuetian's side from a distance.

"Brother Han has worked hard, your troops are behind, we will have a big fight in a while, you go down and rest first!"

"Okay!"

Han Baohu retreated to the rear with his men, he commanded 3,000 cavalry, and now he was also ready.

"Here, get ready!"

Everyone saw the yellow sand rising in the distance, and the yellow sand swept towards everyone under the cover of the sky and the sun.

I saw that the musketeers raised their muskets one after another, and the trebuchets behind them were also ready.

Their task is to kill the opponent as much as possible, which is to slow down the opponent's speed.

"Haha, I dare to put up a position outside the city, God help me, everyone rush in for me, and those who hold Liu Yuetian can be crowned!"

Wang Jian didn't expect that the other party would form a formation outside the city, and the black soldiers were obviously the main force of the other party, no matter how strong those fences were, could they withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry? As long as these main forces in front of him are eliminated, Liu Yuetian will be gone.

"Everyone, get ready, call me!"

Liu Yuetian saw that the army was already less than 200 zhang away from him, and immediately gave the order to attack.

Fifty trebuchets attacked at once, and the huge stone was catapulted into the sky, and then fell among the speeding cavalry.

"Boom, boom!"

The stone bomb exploded in the Qin army, and the flying gravel collapsed at a speed close to the speed of sound, at this high speed, even the iron armor within a radius of ten zhang could not be blocked, and in an instant, the soldiers and war horses within a radius of more than ten zhang fell down on the spot, and the iron armor that was directly hit was completely distorted, and the people inside were almost all humanoid and became a pile of minced meat, just one shot made several people lose their combat effectiveness, and just one round of blows took the lives of more than two hundred soldiers and war horses.

"What's that?"

Wang Jian was taken aback, but at this moment, he was already on the line, and he couldn't stop at all, as long as he rushed closer, the opponent's weapon would not work.

"Kill!"

Wang Qian's lieutenant raised the battle flag and pointed forward, and where the battle flag pointed, all armies would go.

"Blow it up for me!"

Without Liu Yuetian's order, the trebuchet kept throwing out the bombs, and the 20,000 troops were several miles away just from the formation, and they were flying forward densely, and the trebuchet didn't need to aim, and every explosion blew up the opponent's flesh and blood.

The cavalry, who rushed closer, were met head-on with muskets.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bullets rained down, people were constantly knocked off their horses, some soldiers had a hole in their heads, and some horses' legs were broken.

Even though the Qin army is strictly disciplined, the war horses are not soldiers, and the boulder bomb exploded in the formation and immediately frightened the surrounding war horses.

The Great Qin cavalry has undergone strict training, not only soldiers, but even the war horses have horse trainers for special training, but beasts are beasts after all, the stone bomb exploded, the huge explosion, the splashing of gravel and the dazzling light made the surrounding war horses unbearable, and they were suddenly frightened, if one or two horses exploded the hair, it didn't matter, but if hundreds of thousands of war horses blew up the hair, it would be broken, this power is much more powerful than the stone bomb.

The war horses ran around with their feet, and the war horses running behind collided with each other before they could dodge, and the team that was originally charging forward was suddenly chaotic, and their speed quickly slowed down.

Wang Jian also reacted at this moment, the cavalry was no longer able to use speed to attack the opponent, he immediately asked the lieutenant general to raise the command flag, and at the same time turned the horse to gallop down to the right, and the command kept swinging to the rear.

Since he can't directly attack, he bypasses the defense and fights the opponent hand-to-hand, and his heavy cavalry is not afraid of any challenge.

Wang Jian didn't know that Liu Yuetian was waiting for him to slow down and fight with him in close combat.

"Kill!"

Fu Jian, Han Baohu and Feng Yi led their subordinates to rush out with a loud roar, and the distance between the two sides was already very close, and they were killed in one place in the blink of an eye.
