The quiet night passed quietly.

Shouchun City and the camp of the Qin army outside the city will fall into a deathly silence at night.

The dawn of dawn pierced the night, bringing a golden light to the earth.

The blades of grass on the ground were also gilded with a pale golden halo by the sun.

The dew hung on the blades of grass, and the sun shone on the round dewdrops, which reflected the colorful luster, bringing a little beauty that had nothing to do with the war to the pre-war tranquility.

The black pressure pressed a piece of Huainan Army, drilled out of the forest of the Xiangling Mountain, and appeared on the path behind the Qin army.

At the rear of the Qin army's array, Lu Bu rode a tall war horse, carrying Fang Tian's halberd and standing in front of the Qin army's array that had already lined up the phalanx, staring at the Huainan army advancing towards him without blinking.

The distance between the two sides is still far away, at least the arrows of the crossbow arrows cannot be shot into the Huainan army array.

The phalanx of the Huainan army pushed towards the large formation of the heavy infantry of the Qin army step by step, and when the Huainan army reached a place that was only more than three hundred steps away from the Qin army, Lu Bu raised an arm high.

Yang Feng, who was standing beside Lu Bu, saw that he raised his arm and clenched the big knife in his hand tightly.

A personal soldier behind Lu Bu held two small flags high and waved them vigorously.

With the movement of the soldiers waving the small flag, nearly 10,000 crossbowmen of the Qin army walked out of the large array with neat steps, walked in front of Lu Bu, and lined up a neat crossbow formation seven or eight steps in front of Lu Bu.

"Crossbow array, wind up!" As soon as the crossbow array was lined up, a Qin army officer shouted.

With the officer's order, the 10,000 strong crossbowmen immediately took out the arrows from the quiver, buckled them on the crossbow arrows, picked up the crossbow arrows, and aimed at the Huainan army that happened to be advancing from their side.

Seeing from a distance that the Qin army's crossbow array had already set up an array, Liu Xun, who led the Huainan army down the mountain from Xiangling, also raised his arm.

However, when he raised his arm, he did not restrain his horse, but continued to move forward on his horse.

"Big Shield, forward!" Seeing Liu Xun's gesture, an officer of the Huainan Army shouted along, and while shouting, he also raised the two small flags in his hand and waved them a few times.

More than 30,000 heavy infantry of the Huainan Army received the order, quickened the pace of their feet, and walked past Liu Xun.

The passage from the city to Xiangling is not very high, and a small number of war horses can still pass through, but it cannot support tens of thousands of war horses to pass through the passage.

It is precisely for this reason that the army led by Liu Xun is an infantry.

Except for him and a few leading officers, the whole army marched on foot.

Although the array of the Huainan Army is not as neat as the Qin Army, it is not comparable to the ordinary rabble.

As soon as the order to advance with the big shield was given, the heavy infantry of the Huainan Army holding the big shield walked past Liu Xun and the others in a neat formation.

With large shields in front of him, the heavy infantry of the Huainan Army lined up in a neat formation, gradually slowing down the speed of their march and advancing all the way.

Behind Liu Xun's army, there were less than 10,000 archers.

Because the range of bows and arrows is not as good as that of crossbow arrows, the archers of the Huainan Army could not advance alone to a position where they could shoot the crossbow array of the Qin army, and they had to advance to a certain distance with the large shield before they could drill into the shield array and shoot at each other with the strong crossbowmen of the Qin army.

The Huainan army pushed forward, and the mountains on either side of them were quiet, as if all life had disappeared from the tomb overnight.

They didn't know what to do, and at the same time as they advanced towards the main formation of the Qin army, on the mountains on their sides, there were ten thousand dormant Qin troops squatting on the left and right.

Each of these two Qin armies was only equipped with 3,000 strong crossbowmen, and more of them were the main force of Pu Dao soldiers who carried Pu swords.

A pair of eyes stared at the Huainan army walking down the mountain without blinking, and every Qin soldier was excited in his heart.

As warriors, they have not experienced the baptism of war for too long, and they have been silent for too long.

Today's battle is the moment when the Great Qin soldiers want to prove to the world that they are still the strongest brigade in the world.

On the mountains on both sides, the crossbowmen of the Qin army buckled their arrows to the strong crossbows, and one by one they raised their strong crossbows, aiming at the Huainan army that was passing by on the mountain road.

Unaware that they had been stared at by countless pairs of eyes, the Huainan Army was still immersed in the fantasy of suddenly killing from behind the Qin Army, which shocked the Qin Army.

The officers and soldiers of the Huainan Army who advanced forward, the big shield in their hands was raised flatly, just in front of them, although there were still a small number of parts of the body exposed, but the vital parts were tightly protected by the big shield.

The Huainan army was getting closer and closer, and Lu Bu's eyes staring at them narrowed slightly, his arm swung forward, and he shouted: "Crossbow arrows fire!" ”

The distance between the two sides was close enough that the crossbow arrows could be shot and cause corresponding damage to the Huainan army, and Lu Bu gave an order, and the strong crossbowmen in the front row of the Qin army's crossbow array deducted the machine springs one after another.

The first row of crossbowmen snapped their springs and immediately crouched on the ground, followed by the second row of crossbowmen shooting their arrows out of the ground.

In this way, when the crossbowmen in the back row buckled the reeds, the crossbowmen in the front row had already put new arrows on the crossbows.

The endless arrows rained down on the Huainan army, which was advancing forward.

The thin morning light that the rising sun threw on the earth was almost obscured by the crossbow arrows, and above the heads of the Huainan army, countless crossbow arrows cast large shadows on them like dark clouds.

The crossbow arrows flew, and the heavy infantry of the Huainan Army raised their big shields one after another, covering the raindrops of arrows.

The sound of "tuk tuk" is endless, one by one arrows are shot at the big shield of the Huainan army, countless arrows are broken into two under the reaction force of the big shield, and they fall to the ground, and there are also a few arrows pierced into the wooden big shield, and they are firmly nailed to the shield surface.

Most of the Huainan army used a large shield to block the arrows flying towards them, and there were a few unlucky Huainan troops, the big shield did not give them enough protection, and after the arrows flew, they were first shot by the arrows in non-important parts.

Under the pain, as soon as the big shield in his hand was loosened, he was immediately pierced into a hedgehog by the feathered arrows shot from behind, and fell on the road he was traveling.

A soldier of the Huainan Army, apparently he had just joined the army for a short time, and he had not yet had much combat experience.

When the rain of arrows flew over, the soldiers of the Huainan Army were a little nervous, and the palms holding the big shield were also covered with beads of sweat.

Countless arrows flew towards him, and he didn't just hold the big shield and continue to move forward like the Huainan soldiers beside him, but raised the big shield a little more in a bit of panic, so that his eyes couldn't see the feathered arrows flying towards him.

The sound of the "tuk tuk" arrow hitting the shield came to his ears, and he felt a tingling in his arm as he was glad that the arrow was blocked by the shield.

The big shield was lifted up a little more, and at the moment when the Huainan army soldier just lifted the big shield, a relatively low feather arrow "poofed" and pierced deep into his thigh.

He was shot in the thigh by a feather arrow, and after letting out a terrible howl, he reflexively threw the big shield in his hand to the ground.

The large shield rested on the ground, and his upper body was completely exposed to the rain of arrows.

Balls of arrows fell on him, and he tried to raise his shield again, but it was too late.

Countless arrows pierced his body the moment he put down his shield, and even more than a dozen feathered arrows were pierced into his head.

The powerful impact of the arrow sent his body backwards and flew out of the air, falling heavily to the ground, never getting up again.

He was not the only one in the fallen Huainan Army, and there were many soldiers of the Huainan Army who had the same fate as him.

Staring at the rain of arrows forward, every time they pushed forward, the soldiers of the Huainan Army would be shot by feather arrows and fall permanently on this land they were familiar with.

The main array shot arrows, and the Qin troops dormant on the mountains on both sides also prepared to launch feather arrows at the Huainan army.

On the mountainside on the left, Han Xian watched the Huainan army with a shield advance towards the main formation and raised his arms.

When he raised his arm, all the crossbowmen leveled their crossbows a little, and stared at the Huainan army that was suffering from the rain of arrows without blinking.

"Shoot the arrows!" Finally, Han Xian pressed down his arm and gave the order to release the arrow.

With his order, three thousand Qin army strong crossbowmen deducted the strong crossbow springs at the same time.

Due to their dormant position on the mountainside, the crossbowmen could not form a formation like the main formation, and when firing arrows, they could not fire in a progressive row like the strong crossbowmen of the main formation.

The mountains were full of trees, and although the Qin army's strong crossbowmen deliberately avoided the shelter of the trees, a small number of crossbow arrows still hit the trunks, or fell to the ground, or pierced deep into the trunks.

But more crossbow arrows, like raindrops, flew from the side to the Huainan army, which was advancing forward with a big shield.

The big shield could only cover one side, and the unsuspecting Huainan army, at the moment when the arrow fell, countless people were immediately shot by the arrows flying from the side and fell on the road.

"Side, side!" Feather arrows suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests on the side, and Liu Xun immediately understood that they were ambushed by the Qin army, and hurriedly shouted, asking the soldiers of the Huainan Army to pay attention to the defensive side.

"Archers are in battle!" The advancing Huainan Army officers and soldiers immediately changed their formation, and also strengthened their precautions on both sides, and at the same time as the formation changed, Liu Xun gave the order for the archers to advance!

As soon as his order was shouted, Zhou Cang, who was on the other side of the mountainside, also shouted: "Shoot their archers!" ”

With Zhou Cang's order, the strong crossbowmen of the Qin army on the mountain on the right also deducted the reeds of the strong crossbows one after another, and shot the arrows towards the archers of the Huainan army.

The archers of the Huainan Army, who were running, would have thought that suddenly they would become the target of the Qin army's strong crossbowmen.

The archers of the Huainan Army, who were completely unguarded and not equipped with shields at all, fell in pieces in the rain of arrows of the Qin army!

At the same time that the strong crossbowmen of the Qin army under Zhou Cang's command shot arrows at the Huainan army, the strong crossbowmen under the command of Han Xian also gave up shooting and killing the heavy infantry of the Huainan army, and instead shot the archers.
