The crossbow arrows like spears came with huge kinetic energy, and after the Qin soldiers were shot, there was no chance of being spared.

As the crossbow bolts continued to fall, screams began to sound one after another in front of the two armies.

Some arrows shot through several people or horses one after another, and there were even scenes of two 'eagles' or even several 'eagles' on the battlefield.

The ferocious and tragic scene made countless Qin soldiers frightened, and they all looked for cover to hide.

Also thanks to the low accuracy of the bed crossbow, not every one of them will cause significant damage.

There are also some crossbow arrows that accidentally hit the nearby rocks after they were shot, and with earth-shattering power, they directly cracked the rocks and inserted them into the stones.

"Quick, quick, speed up!"

"Spread them all out, don't crowd them together."

"Only by rushing to us, the bed crossbow will not be able to help us."

The generals of the Qin army, who were in charge of leading the team, knew the advantages and disadvantages of the bed crossbow very well, and also knew what to do to avoid heavy casualties.

He waved the weapon in his hand and kept yelling at the panicked sergeants around him.

In just a stick of incense, the Qin soldiers paid huge casualties, but they were never able to move forward.

Faced with the huge lethality of the bed crossbow, the Qin army did not have much way to dodge, and the generals at all levels could only force the sergeants to disperse.

The purpose of the Qin army today is very simple, that is, to use the advantage of more troops, regardless of casualties, to forcibly advance to the front of the Hexi army barrier.

As long as the two armies were in close proximity, the Hexi army's bed crossbow advantage would not be able to be brought into play, and the Qin army would be able to reverse the unfavorable situation.

Otherwise, if you can't move forward by the bed crossbow sniper all the time, the huge lethality of the bed crossbow will bring great pressure to the Qin army.

After a long time, it will inevitably lead to the disintegration of the army, and the army will be defeated and flee.

Fortunately, the number of bed crossbows in the Hexi army is limited, although the lethality of a single child is large, but on the whole, the casualties caused are still within the tolerance of the Qin army.

So, under the strict orders of generals at all levels, the Qin sergeants bent their waists, and while alertly dodging the crossbow arrows that flew from time to time, they quickly rushed towards the Hexi army fortress.

It's a pity that when they were lucky enough to escape the shooting of large bed crossbows, they were greeted by a larger number of medium and small bed crossbows for the Qin soldiers.

In the face of the denser crossbow arrows, a large number of Qin soldiers were constantly shot, and they fell one hundred and ten steps away from the barrier, unable to move forward a single step.

The huge lethality of the bed crossbow, as well as the countermeasures of the Qin army, all fell in the eyes of Wei Shuo, Cui Hao and others who were watching the battle in the rear.

As everyone knows, it is not realistic to rely on a large bed crossbow to block the Qin army's sprint.

What's more, the number of large bed crossbows is limited, if it weren't for the favorable terrain this time, I'm afraid that the Qin soldiers would have rushed to the front of the battle.

The people who really had high hopes for Wei Shuo were the huge number of small and medium-sized bed crossbows and archers.

He has always believed that long-range strike weapons, on the premise that their accuracy cannot be guaranteed, can only be effective if they reach a certain number.

Compared with bows and arrows and small bed crossbows, large bed crossbows are more often a strategic weapon, and their huge lethality will have a strong psychological deterrent effect on the enemy.

For example, in front of them, some Qin soldiers saw that all the robes around them were skewered with sugar gourds, and they were all timid, and their faces showed hesitation.

The bed crossbow continued to shoot, and more and more Qin soldiers dodged the blow and began to approach the front of the formation.

"Archer, shoot." Seeing the Qin army enter the range of bows and arrows, Wei Shuo immediately gave the order to shoot.

The thousands of archers who had been waiting for a long time quickly lined up, drew their longbows, pointed their arrows into the sky, and more than a thousand feathered arrows were shot out almost at the same time.

After a bang, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, and after crossing his own position, mixed with the sound of swishing through the air, it flew obliquely towards the Qin army that surged up like a tide.

The first row of archers quickly retreated, and the other thousand archers immediately stepped forward to take their place, drew their longbows again, and then shot their feathered arrows with maximum force.

Before they even had time to see the effect of the blow, they immediately withdrew, and another round of archers made up for it.

In this way, the three thousand archers adopted a three-stage attack method, repeating the cycle, taking turns to shoot, forming a continuous rain of arrows, bringing great casualties to the Qin army.

In addition to being constantly killed and wounded, what made the Qin soldiers even more aggrieved was that due to the difference in height, the archers of the Hexi Army could easily shoot the Qin soldiers in a condescending manner.

On the contrary, the Qin army, which had been shooting upwards, might not be able to shoot the Hexi people.

As the arrows continued to fall, countless Qin soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the huge casualties caused chaos in the formation, and the shield bearers who were originally responsible for protecting everyone also panicked.

As a result, after losing the protection of the shield bearer, some Qin military captains and generals who were in charge of the command were also unfortunately killed by arrows.

Standing in the rear, watching his soldiers fall one after another, Yao Xing's heart was like a wrench.

It's just that Yao Xing has no other way for the time being, as Di Bozhi said, since Tiandu has fallen into the hands of Hexi, the Qin army can only force through Qiaoshan Tianwei to reach Chaibi.

The continuous screams sounded in his ears, and after a few rounds of arrows, the open space in front of the battle was already full of Qin soldiers, and the screams were as terrifying as Senluo Hell.

The battle prevailed, which made the generals of Hexi excited, and they vigorously ordered the sergeants to shoot non-stop to shoot all the Qin troops in front of the position.

Even the generals who had extraordinary archery skills also opened their bows and shot arrows, aiming at the generals of the Qin army in front.

After years of continuous training, although Wei Shuo's own archery skills are not as good as those of Fuqu Nancheng and Qi Gan Ali, he has also gained considerable attainments.

During the battle, Wei Shuo shot a total of ten arrows, but he shot eight targets, one of which was a low-level general of Later Qin.

This person was commanding the Qin soldiers to charge at that time, but unfortunately he was shot by Wei Shuo with an arrow and was killed on the spot, causing a group of guards around him to cheer loudly.

Wei Shuo believed that if the current offensive was maintained, it would inevitably inflict heavy casualties on the Qin army, and it was possible to force the Qin army to retreat.

Obviously, Wei Shuo is a little optimistic, after all, people are not machines, and it is impossible for the Hexi Army to maintain such a high level of shooting all the time.

It must be known that stretching the bow and pulling the string is quite physically demanding, and the archers take turns shooting, and ten or twenty shots in a row may be able to withstand it without exhaustion.

But after a long time, the physical strength of ordinary soldiers will be exhausted, and they will not be able to draw their bows and shoot arrows far.

At this time, the advantage of the Qin army's large number of troops can exert its power.

At that time, it will be a battle to the death, and when it comes to desperate hand-to-hand combat, danger will also appear.

……

"Your Majesty, our army has suffered heavy casualties, why don't you withdraw and rest first?"

Seeing the tragic situation of the battle, some generals ran to Yao Xing and asked to retreat, but Yao Xing refused.

Yao Xing pointed to the battlefield and reprimanded: "What do you know?!" Now is the moment of truth, and once you retreat, everything you have paid for before is in vain. ”

"Pass the order, who dares to retreat without permission, and will not be spared!"

"Tell the generals again, who can be the first to rush to the enemy's barrier, a reward of 10,000 gold, seal the internal marquis, and promote the official to the third level."

On a hillside not far from the battlefield, Yao Xing was on horseback, closely observing the progress of the battle, and he also knew that the Later Qin soldiers had suffered heavy casualties.

But he still refused his subordinates' request, not because Yao Xing lost his mind, but because he understood that some casualties could not be avoided.

At present, he has no choice but to fill it with the lives of the soldiers, and even hopes to use the lives of the soldiers in exchange for the arrows of the Hexi army and the strength is exhausted.

In his opinion, even if there were enough arrows, the Hexi army was always exhausted, and it was then the turn of the Qin army to counterattack.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and order, let the Hou Qin soldiers continue to rush forward, desperately rushing.

After the order was handed down, the Later Qin people did not dare to complain to the emperor, so they had to curse Qiaoshan in their hearts.

If it weren't for the steep terrain of Johnson, they wouldn't have to pay such a big price.

Maybe they have already killed the Hexi army now, how can they rush to the front of the formation like now, there are very few who can rush to the front of the formation, even if they rush to the front of the formation by luck, they are quickly killed by the Hexi army, and they can't make a little wave at all.

The tenacity of the Later Qin people was somewhat beyond Wei Shuo's expectations, and the enemy did not collapse as he imagined, but approached step by step.

Realizing that a bloody battle was coming, he immediately ordered people to prepare for the upcoming challenge.
