Chapter 462: Feather Arrow Round Shooting
Shi Hong urged the war horses to supervise the battle back and forth on the position, and his eyes were full of bravery, and the soldiers of the Qin army were inspired by him, and gathered a team of about 2,000 people, who risked their lives to approach the forward position, bent their bows and arrows, and prepared to launch a round of crossbow arrows counterattack against the position of the coalition army.
Su Qin had already seen Shi Hong's actions, and when he saw that the Qin army began to counterattack, he hid his own soldiers behind the troop carts, and the arrows of the Qin army rained down on the coalition positions, but because the combined column army had troop vehicles as cover, there were few casualties.
Shi Hong commanded the archers of the Qin army to shoot for a while, and he found that his opponent had not made any movement, and he did not know whether the arrows fired by his side were effective, and whether they had suppressed the troops of the joint column.
Ishihiro watched for a while, but still did not see any movement from the coalition forces hiding behind the troop vehicles, and he decided to stop shooting. There was a temporary silence on both sides' positions.
After about half an hour, the Qin army finally couldn't bear it anymore. Sima Cuo also rushed up from the rear, and he made a round in front of the formation, trying to figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Su Qin's gourd.
Su Qin was hiding behind a tall military vehicle of the Zhao State at this time, and his eyes looked through the gap in the wheel of the military vehicle, watching the behavior of Sima Cuo, Shi Hong, and Qin Jun, judging their next move.
The combined coalition army is now in the position of the initiative, and Su Qin naturally wants to use the initiative of his own side to kill and injure as many Qin troops as possible. The Hezong army encountered Sima Cuo's ambush before, and the losses were quite heavy, and nearly a quarter of the men and horses were wounded and killed, and the general Zhou Shao is now half dead. If this revenge is not avenged, Su Qinyan can be willing.
Sima Zhuo patrolled for a long time, he stared at the lined up troop vehicles of the coalition army, and thought, "Is the opponent hidden?" Or has he already frightened Qin Jun, so much so that he even crawled and ran away? ”
Sima Cuo ambushed the combined column army led by Su Qin on the tortuous and narrow Michi Trail, and beat the opponent to the ground. Therefore, of course, he has reason to think that the coalition forces are fleeing in confusion out of fear.
Sima decided to take the risk of attacking again, and he selected more than 10,000 strong soldiers from the remaining Qin army, and ordered them to regroup and advance again towards the coalition position.
Su Qin saw that the Qin army had stopped the counterattack with crossbow arrows and was about to charge again, and he would not be humble. Su Qin waved the order flag in his hand, and once again ordered the archers who were in ambush behind the military chariot to shoot in line.
The archers of the coalition army had been lying in ambush behind the military vehicle for a long time, and were waiting to be anxious, when they suddenly heard Su Qin's order, they flashed out from behind the military vehicle like calcium carbide, and launched a new round of feather arrow attacks before arriving at the military vehicle.
At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin State, who were about to charge forward in the whole team, suddenly encountered the attack of the coalition army's feather arrows, and the density of the feather arrows was beyond imagination, like a raging storm. Qin Jun suddenly fled in embarrassment like a pitiful insect exposed to the attack.
And the crossbow arrow position that the Qin army was originally going to stop was also shot in this new round of dense arrow rain, and the Qin army's position once again fell into a state of extreme panic.
Sima Cuo and Shi Hong were indifferent, and their instinctive first reaction was to hurry out of the range of the dangerous rain of arrows.
The two of them rode backwards to dodge, but they still didn't have time, and the two generals and deputy generals were hit by several arrows, but fortunately they were shot in the back and shoulder, and their lives were unharmed.
Sima Co finally escaped to safety, he reined in his horse, and looked at the forward positions that had been destroyed by the bows and arrows of the coalition army, and was very annoyed. After two rounds of arrow rain attacks, the Qin army had suffered nearly one-third of the losses, and there were countless wounded people.
Sima was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Su Qin, you are so vicious, you have tried some tricks to do it, and you have the ability to do it with a knife and a gun, what kind of hero is this!" ”
Su Qin hid behind the military chariot, faintly heard Sima Cuo's scolding, his heart blossomed, and he thought, "You also know what it was like to be ambushed." You'll be looking good in a while! ”
Su Qin didn't want to show his head at this moment to deal with Sima Cuo, he said in his heart: "You Sima Co scolded me a few words, and I will be fooled by you, when I should show my head, I will naturally appear, you just wait." ”
After the Qin army escaped from the range of the rain of arrows, Su Qin immediately stopped the shooting of the coalition forces, and he still had to save the feather arrows and wait for Sima to come to his death in the next round!
Calm returned to the front of the coalition army's chariot position, and Sima looked there wrongly, thinking urgently about what he should do. Is it to launch the next round of attack, or to stop.
By this time, it was already in the afternoon, and it would be completely dark in a little more than an hour. Sima Cuo felt that he couldn't stay in Xipi for too long, because once it got dark, who knew what kind of new tricks Su Qin would have to think of.
Sima Cuo originally arranged for Ji Fen to lead more than 30,000 Qin troops in Jiaoyang City to intercept the column army in the west, but now Ji Fen does not even have a shadow.
At first, Sima Cuo thought that Ji Fen led the army to move unfavorably, and was delayed by the rugged mountain road in Luming Valley. The reason why he insisted on not retreating was to wait for Ji Fenbing to come out of Luming Valley and strike together, so isn't Su Qin a turtle in an urn?
However, having waited until this time, Ji Fen's figure was still missing, and Sima Cuo faintly felt that Ji Fen was besieged by the Hezong army.
He ordered Shi Hongdao: "You find me some sergeants with good eyesight, and I will take them to the front to have a lookout." Where did this Ji Fen die, why did he disappear? ”
Shi Hong volunteered and said, "The front is dangerous, and the joint column army may launch feather arrow shooting again at any time, or should I go on a mission?" ”
Sima Coo snorted and glanced at Shi Hong very dissatisfied, he was still angry with Shi Hong, and still secretly hated Shi Hong's delay in the military plane. Sima Cuo said: "You can organize the troops on the spot, gather all the wounded, and then rebuild an assault force and a crossbow army, maybe I will use them later." ”
Shi Hongkou said: "Obey! "I went to prepare at once, and in a short time I brought more than twenty sergeants, all of whom were relatively tall and claimed to have very good eyesight.
Sima Coo nodded at these sergeants and said, "You will follow me to the frontier high ground to take a look at the Xipi Valley." Let's see if there are any traces of fighting there? ”
The sergeants listened to Sima Cuo's order and replied one after another: "Obey the general's order!" General Sima is requested to give the order to set off at any time. ”
Sima Cuo was very satisfied with these sergeants, he urged the war horse, and ordered: "Without further ado, let's act immediately." You have to be careful, don't panic, just like you go for a walk on the frontier heights. ”
The sergeants again shouted in a loud voice, and Sima Cuo led them slowly towards the forward position.
