Chapter 203: The Door Is Wide Open

After the 40,000 soldiers of the Qin army fired a disorderly volley, then the second and third, and this wave of arrows was reaping mercilessly, and the Gupta Dynasty came to take the lives of more than 200,000 troops! Although Sima Zhi and the others were resting at the moment, how could they sit here and watch such a big battle? Therefore, these nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army also stepped forward one by one, picked up the Qin-made crossbow, and shot arrows at the enemy of the Gupta Dynasty! In this way, with each round of volleys fired by the Qin army, there were almost 50,000 arrows, like a big net, covering the Gupta Dynasty's army!

The Gupta Dynasty's forward cavalry was faster, but under such a dense rain of arrows from the Qin army, their charging speed at this time was also greatly weakened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhat's more, the soldiers behind the cavalry, who were originally advancing slowly, were holding their shields one by one, moving slowly and with great difficulty, advancing step by step.

At this time, the Gupta Dynasty army, which was shrouded in the rain of arrows of the Qin army, seemed to have become a living target for these arrows falling from the sky. And these so-called live targets are extremely aggrieved in their hearts, because once you are shot by the Qin army's arrows, you will definitely die! But if you raise your shield to protect you, you will also have to worry about life and death! Because Qin Jun's damn arrow can not only shoot through the breastplate, but also through the shield! In this way, the more than 200,000 troops of the Gupta Dynasty felt as if they were fighting naked, how could they not be depressed and aggrieved!

At this time, the Gupta Dynasty army, under the rain of arrows of the Qin army, in just a quarter of an hour, more than 20,000 soldiers have died on the spot! Such a large casualty, Ranat. Gupta may not be distressed, but the lord of the country of Boyingluo, Adpila and others, are so distressed that they almost drip blood, this is their own country's soldiers and horses? But they are all their own people!

"General Lanat, give the order to retreat! There is no way to go on like this, under such a strong rain of arrows, if we want to break through the enemy formation, we are afraid that we will only suffer nearly half of the casualties! At that time, let alone attacking the enemy formation and killing the enemy chieftain, these more than 200,000 troops will collapse themselves! General Lanat, give the order to withdraw your troops! It's too late, it's too late"!

Seeing that the Qin army's arrows were so powerful, and that their own soldiers and horses had suffered too heavy losses at this time, they came over to surround Ranat. Gupta is half admonishment and half threat, so that Ranat. Gupta hurry up and give the order to retreat!

Lanat. Gupta stood on the platform, looking at the rain of arrows in the sky of the Qin army, the soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty who were struggling to move forward under the rain of arrows, and the soldiers of his own side who fell to the ground! Lanat. Gupta's heart was bleeding, he had been in battle for a long time, but such a tragic battle had never been encountered before!

Lanat. Gupta finally understood at this time why the generals of the Qin army would put up this seemingly useless giant military formation of tens of thousands of people. Because they didn't even think about cooperating with each other like the soldier formation, all they wanted was a solid arrow firing position!

For the lord of the country of Bhawinga, Adpila and other lords, asking him to withdraw his troops, Ranat. In addition to ignoring Gupta Ignoring it, he ordered the 50,000 troops guarding the Chinese army to send 30,000 strong troops to attack the Qin army's military array! Because he knew that once the troops were withdrawn at this time, the morale of the army would plummet, so if he wanted to destroy the tens of thousands of Qin troops on the opposite side, there would be almost no possibility!

And he also understands that although the Qin army's bow and crossbow are powerful, this military array composed of tens of thousands of people has too many flaws after all. As long as the soldiers under his command attack the enemy's army formation and meet the enemy's short-range soldiers, then the Qin army's bows and crossbows will become useless! The next thing is undoubtedly a hand-to-hand battle, then there are more than 200,000 soldiers under his command, and these more than 200,000 soldiers are biting with their teeth, that is, fighting a war of attrition, and the victory will definitely belong to them!

From the battlefield situation alone, Ranat. Gupta is right in this analysis! No matter how powerful the bows and crossbows of the Qin army are, the Gupta Dynasty army will fight for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, as long as they approach or even attack the Qin army's military array, these bows and crossbows will no longer be of any use!

But Lanat. Gupta didn't know that the Qin army had always been the least afraid of hand-to-hand combat, especially the young generals of the Qin army led by Sima Zhi, and even some liked this simple and rude, bloody and wild way of fighting!

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and after more than a quarter of an hour, more than 200,000 troops of the Gupta Dynasty left the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers in a short distance of attacking the Qin army's military formation, and their forward troops finally approached the Qin army's army formation as they wished, and began to assemble in a small area, trying to impact the Qin army's military formation!

Sima Li, the left general of the Qin army, who served as the commander of this battle, saw that the enemy army began to assemble and charge, and the command flag in his hand was waved again and again. After the soldiers in the formation received the order, except for the 20,000 or 30,000 Qin soldiers on the periphery, they remained unchanged and continued to choose to shoot arrows to kill the other armies of the Gupta Dynasty. The rest of the Qin army soldiers put down their crossbows and picked up the weapons at hand!

The forward troops of the Gupta Dynasty had gathered almost 10,000 elite horsemen at this time, and they began to rush towards the Qin army formation in units of 1,000 people! At this moment, I saw that the Qin army array on the opposite side suddenly flashed several gaps, as if welcoming the Gupta Dynasty army!

These Gupta Dynasty soldiers were naturally overjoyed when they saw that the Qin army was not defending the battle at this time, but the door was wide open. One by one, under the leadership of the leading generals, they did not hesitate to follow this gap everywhere and attack the Qin army's military array!

But when they stepped on the Qin army's formation, they realized what a serious mistake they had made! Because it was not the panicked Qin soldiers who greeted them in the military array as they imagined. It is a hundred-person army array, but a long lance with a handle, a spear with a handle, and countless Qin swords. At this time, there was a cold light, as if hungry and thirsty, and they were cheering for the coming bloody feast!

This hundred-person army formation did not use shields as protection, because these Qin cavalry were used to attack, and shields were not distributed! At this time, what acts as protection is a long lance and spear that sticks out of the array, these lances and spears are both protective and offensive weapons! Moreover, these military formations are only about three zhang away from each other, and once the enemy cavalry enters, they will undoubtedly become the prey of the Qin army's spears!

More than 10,000 cavalry of the Gupta Dynasty, in this dense array of 100 people, were stopped again and again. They want to break through these 100-man army formations, and in the current situation, it is almost an impossible task!
