Chapter 6: The Great War Begins
Outside the city of Didaw.
Ten thousand strange black-armored foot soldiers stood silently on the wilderness less than fifty paces away from Di Dao City, waiting for the arrival of the Hun cavalry. The soldiers of Great Qin never knew what fear was, especially the border armies of Longxi and Jiuyuan.
Less than fifty steps away from Di Dao City, Weng Zhong was considerate. Close to the city, a huge number of large repeating crossbows, archers, and crossbowmen on the city wall of Didao can help protect the left and right sides of the 10,000 Longxi troops who have left the city.
In this way, the Longxi army out of the city did not have to worry about being raided by the Hun cavalry on the left and right, but only used to meet the Hun cavalry in front.
The reason why these foot soldiers are strange is because each foot soldier has a war horse behind him.
The Longxi Army originally had 300,000 people, and like the Jiuyuan Army, it was the elite of the Great Qin elite.
Since the 22nd year of the first emperor, the Longxi general Li Xin led the 200,000 Longxi army to destroy Chu and failed, the 200,000 Longxi army that followed Li Xin out of the pass to destroy Chu was lost, and there were old Weng Zhong in Longxi to deter Qiangyue and other foreign races, so the Longxi army has not been replenished.
And it is precisely because of this that for more than ten years, the remaining 100,000 soldiers in Longxi need to guard the long frontier of the two counties of Beidi and Longxi, which has created a fierce style of the desperate and shameful Longxi border army.
Up to now, the 100,000 soldiers of the Longxi Army are all soldiers who can fight with horses and feet, and it must be said that it is also an outlier.
At a distance of less than fifty paces in front of the 10,000 Longxi Black Armor Infantrymen, hundreds of huge repeating crossbow machines lined up, and on each crossbow machine, six huge black crossbow arrows with a length of three zhang long and an arm thick shimmered in the sunlight.
There were six black-armored soldiers with big shoulders and round waists standing next to each crossbow machine, and these soldiers were obviously the soldiers who used these crossbow machines, so they didn't carry any weapons on them.
Between the crossbow machine and the horse-leading foot soldier stood a giant tower-like man in black armor, also carrying no weapons. But at his feet was a mountain of spears almost as tall as him.
Each spear resembles the arrows on top of a giant repeater.
This giant man was Weng Zhong, but to the surprise of the thousands of Longxi soldiers standing in the front row behind him, Weng Zhong, who was known as the "Little Heavenly God" with amazing divine power and never knew what he was afraid of, was trembling in his body.
Say Weng Zhong is afraid? I'm afraid that any Longxi border army who hears this will spit out when they hear this.
But not fear, then why did the general tremble? All the Longxi soldiers who saw this scene were puzzled.
Yes, Weng Zhong was trembling.
However, the reason he trembled was because of excitement and excitement.
Although he knew that it was 200,000 Hun cavalry, and this was the first time that Weng Zhong led his troops to fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns, Weng Zhong did not have the slightest fear and nervousness at the moment.
From hearing the scout say that the Hun cavalry was coming, Weng Zhong had a sense of anticipation and excitement in his heart for the upcoming battle, and the battle intent surged, and now the battle intent burning in his chest even made him unable to control his body.
In addition, he was still a little worried that the Xiongnu were just a false shot, because the Xiongnu rarely traveled long distances to attack Longxi, which was much farther away than Jiuyuan, and suffered from gains and losses, so he trembled uncontrollably.
It's still the same old saying, mixed with a complex mentality of excitement and worry, which makes him a little urge to pee.
Soon.
At the end of the sky as far as the Longxi army could see, a long black line suddenly appeared in the sky.
After a while, the black line gradually widened, like a huge rag of various colors gradually covering the loess earth that had grown spotted grass.
After a few more moments, the rag grew larger, and the earth began to tremble, and a thunderous rumbling sound could be heard faintly from afar.
Seeing that the Hun cavalry finally appeared, Weng Zhong, who had been in a state of suffering from gains and losses, calmed down at this time. There is no misfortune, and all that remains is the longing for the big war and the full will to fight.
As the green and yellow wilderness was covered more and more by the various rags formed by the interweaving of more than 100,000 horses, the earth that had been trembling lightly began to tremble, and the trembling became more and more violent; And the original faint sound gradually turned into a monstrous loud noise, resounding throughout the world.
After the galloping of thousands of horses, countless dust was raised, gradually obscuring the sky.
The more than 10,000 Longxi troops arrayed outside the city, looking at the countless Hun cavalry that were getting closer and closer, their eyes gradually became hot, and they burst out with monstrous war intent.
The weapons in the hands of the Longxi Army have not drunk the blood of foreign barbarians for more than ten years!
A solemn and heavy patch of black is very eye-catching in the vast wilderness of green and yellow.
The Yue Clan's army had already discovered this piece of black, but now that they finally saw it clearly, they found that the Qin people, who originally thought they would hide in the city as turtles, had set up a position outside the city without their own strength.
A low horn sounded, and the Yueshi cavalry of the brigade stopped about five miles away from the Longxi army.
Na Xiu, who received the news, galloped out with thousands of guards. The cultivator set up a pergola and looked at the small piece of black that was arrayed outside the city, and suddenly became angry.
The Great Qin scouts were able to discover the Yue Clan's army, and the Yue Clan's army naturally saw the Great Qin scouts as well. Therefore, the cultivators of the Qin Dynasty would definitely rely on the strong city walls to resist their own army.
But when he first looked at it, he was surprised. He never thought that the Qin people would be so arrogant, and they would go out of the city with more than 10,000 foot soldiers to resist his more than 100,000 elite army head-on.
Now that the "Heavenly God" Weng Zhong is not here, the Qin people still dare to despise their Yue Clan's army like this, how can this not let the evil cultivator be angry.
"Warriors. Chop off the heads of these arrogant Qin people with your scimitars, and crush the bodies of these Qin people with your horses' hooves. Let the Qin people live in fear of my Yue Clan warriors from now on. Warriors, charge! ”
That Xiu Yao pointed to the small piece of black not far away, turned around and shouted.
With the command of the evil charge, a high-pitched horn sounded.
More than 100,000 Yue's cavalry cried wolf howls desperately whipping the war horses under them, and the arrogance of the Qin people and their contempt for the Yue's clan deeply stimulated the fragile hearts of these self-proclaimed warriors of the Yue's cavalry.
This humiliation can only be washed away with the blood of the Qin people.
Crushing them, this is the only thought in the heart of every Yueshi cavalry who desperately charges.
The Hun army has finally charged!
Hurry up, this is the idea of the Great Qin soldiers!
The earth trembled, and the hoofs thundered!
Five miles!
Four miles!
Three miles!
Two thousand steps!
1,800 steps!
Fifteen hundred steps!
"Crossbow release!"
Seeing that the Yue's cavalry had already rushed to the range mark of the large repeating crossbow machine! Weng Zhong suddenly shouted.
Great Qin's large-scale repeated-fire crossbow machines, especially those owned by the two border armies of Longxi and Jiuyuan, which are dedicated to dealing with several major alien races in the frontier land, have a range of 1,500 steps, which is now nearly 900 meters.
The sophistication of Great Qin's ordnance can be seen from this.
Accompanied by the ejection sound of the crossbow machine, thousands of thick crossbow arrows three zhang long pierced the air, with a sharp roar of "woo", and rushed towards the Yue's army that rushed over densely.
