The night is in the middle of the day.

When a dark cloud obscured the silent star in the distant sky, the Chu soldiers hidden in the shadows of the river bank and water surface were like a hungry leopard, finally waiting for the best time to launch a surprise attack.

"Ahh

"Whoa, whoa!"

With a strange cry like a ghost, the Chu army general jumped up first, when lurking, he had already found a hard stone strip in the riverbed, and now with a violent kick, the whole person rose to the sky with a shouting roar, and a shark dragon painted on the naked body had hideous eyes, just like an ancient beast that made people shudder.

"What the hell!" Qin Junling, who was distracted for a while, only had time to shout, that is, he felt a chill on his neck, and for a while, he only felt that the world was spinning, and the scenery in his eyes was also reversed, and then what came into view was one black figure after another with his head on his feet and his feet, rushing out from under the water.

"Chu Man!" The unknown team leader who finally came to his senses opened his mouth with great effort, trying to shout to remind his companions, but his mouth could not make any sound except for a cloud of blood spilling from his mouth.

"Qin Dog, that's it!" Wu Yu hahadaxiao, satisfied with the fierce wave of the giant bronze sword in his hand, and then flew up with a kick, kicking the ownerless head six or seven zhang, the head of the Qin army fell into the chasm with an unwilling "porphyr" sound, and after rolling a few times, it disappeared into the water.

The name of Juque.

For the former Yue country sword-casting master Ou Yezi up, this sword blade is three feet long, the handle is seven inches long, the blade is about five inches wide, and weighs about five catties. In that year, after the Yue State was destroyed by the Chu State. The Juque sword was carried into the mountains by some children of the Yue royal family, and then fell into the hands of the Shanyue people.

Suddenly lost command and woke up from the trance of the night, the Qin army patrol faced a group of broken hair tattooed ghosts that sprang out like water ghosts, although they resisted, but in the face of the fierce attack of the fans, a team of 100 people really couldn't stop the steady stream of Fanren who poured into Hexi.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The mutation on the riverside was transmitted to the Qin military camp not far away almost instantly, and the Qin army general who was on duty tonight belonged to Li Zhongxiang's department, and he did not dare to slack off after hearing the news, while gathering his troops to meet the battle. While urgently sending Lang Zhong to inform Li Zhongxiang that he knew.

Fanren attacked at night!

Breaking the chasm in the stalemate, there was no one round to end the Qin army's rate, but when annihilating the remaining remnants of the Qin army's patrol posts, it had to take a quarter of an hour, and the arrogant generals did not expect that their proud bronze sword almost fell into a complete defeat in the confrontation with the Qin army's standard iron sword.

Copper and iron.

Two metals with different properties, their alternating status, also symbolizes the continuous development of the civilization process. The Central Plains began to transition from a slave society to a feudal society.

This change in the system comes not only from ideology, but also from the emergence of the state, a powerful ruling body. After the Qin army occupied Handan and Xiping, the craftsmen of these two important iron-smelting towns were all requisitioned and transferred to Jinyang by Sima Yin. This kind of practice of gathering the whole country together and going all out to study a jishu is much more effective than in the past, when there were many vassal states and subordinate craftsmen who relied only on individual research.

The Guo family of Handan, the Zhang family of Xiping, plus the original Mo Shi from the Lishan military construction in Jinyang and other craftsmen. These craftsmen, who were in various places and could not exchange experiences with each other, constantly improved iron smelting and other crafts in the collision of ideas.

It's just been a year. Qin's iron weapons have developed from a small number of equipment to the army, most of which can only be used for farming, to a large number of equipment to the front-line army, zuihou, not only the general level has iron swords and iron armor, but even ordinary soldiers have also obtained the "magic weapon" that they dream of.

Such a standard iron sword, in terms of sharpness, of course, can not be compared to the giant sword made of meteorite iron by Ou Yezi in the hands of Shang Wuyu, but the advantage of the standard iron sword lies in his popularity, the excellent iron ore mined from the Fushui area and the high-quality coal and stone in the Yunzhong County area have given the forging iron with the most haode raw materials and the most superior calcination conditions, coupled with a large number of jishu craftsmen owned by the Qin State Military Manufacturing, the production speed of iron weapons is increasing almost all the time.

The courage of the people.

One is their experience in battling harsh environments; The second lies in the maturity of bronze smelting jishu, which helped them win the initiative in the tearing with the beast.

And now, the Qin army suddenly gained an advantage in one of the aspects, which made the Fan people surprised at the same time, but also wavered about the next battle, and this psychological change directly led to the snubbing of the Qin army patrol posts.

The ones who can serve as patrol scouts are all carefully selected winners, who may not be as brave as those who are used to charging in front of the battle, but they are the most loyal in their understanding of death, in other words, these Qin scouts have long put life and death out of the way.

When the soldiers surrounded them, when the hope of surviving and breaking through was dashed, when their companions stumbled and fell under the enemy's sword, the surviving Qin scouts gradually fearless of death.

"Fangou, if you want grandpa's life, come on, haha!" More than one Qin soldier was desperate to sacrifice his life to fight back when he was beaten by several fans.

Their bravery and fearlessness also frightened the warriors of the Fan clan, who have always considered themselves to be the first brave.

――。

Li Zhongxiang was neatly draped and rode on a white war horse without a single stray hair.

This white horse called "Treading Snow" was originally a gift from the King of Loulan on the sixteenth birthday of Princess An Qinglan, as a father to give his daughter something, of course, he will not save, the mother of Treading Snow comes from the more western Dawan country, and its father is the leader of the wild horse herd on the desert grassland.

Li Zhongxiang returned to the Central Plains, An Qinglan could not accompany him because she was pregnant, so she gave Li Zhongxiang as a mount.

The battle ahead is fierce.

After the scout team of 100 people was wiped out, Li Zhongxiang's deputy general led five or six hundred Qin soldiers to desperately resist the onslaught of the Fanren, but because the way the Fanren swam across the attack was really sudden, and the Fanren were accustomed to fighting with wild beasts in the mountains, forests and wilderness, the firewood and obstacles laid by the Qin army had little impact on the Fanren.

Half an hour later, almost all of the 3,000 generals of the Fan people had swam ashore, and on the one hand, in response to the shouting orders, these soldiers began to attack the Qin army camp, and on the other hand, they began to build boat bridges in an attempt to guide the large forces of the Chu army on the east bank to pass quickly.

The time has been lost for the half-crossing attack!

The main force of the Chu army is coming up with a steady stream of reinforcements.

Prepared and unprepared, this time the Chu army's attack avoided the frontal battlefield that had been entangled for more than ten days before, and found the flank of the Qin army, which caught the Qin army by surprise.

"Report to the general, the Chu army has dispatched a number of people, our army has lost more than a thousand people, the first Chai Yan defense line has been broken through, and the second line of defense is currently fighting fiercely-!"

The military situation from the front of the battle made Li Zhongxiang frown sharply, and this kind of war that fell into passivity as soon as the war started made him feel a little tricky.

A team caught in a scuffle can't be withdrawn if you want to.

Judging from the current situation, the Qin army's partial generals' filling troops and Fanren are intertwined, and it is impossible to distinguish clearly, if they rely on the usual reinforcements, their Qin army will fall into a melee with more people and larger scale, and this may be what Xiang Yu wants to see the most.

The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the Chu army.

Xiang Yu, who pinned his hopes on reproducing the battle of the cauldron and sinking the boat, was very eager to deal a heavy blow to the Qin army in front of him when the Chu army still had the will to fight.

"Order the crossbowmen, line up and prepare!"

"Inform the cavalry troops, bypass the enemy in front of them, and break off the communication of the Chu army from south to north along the chasm valley-!" Li Zhongxiang's voice trembled slightly, from his order, it could be judged that his mood was not as calm as the expression on his face, the two strong reinforcements of crossbowmen and cavalry were only lined up and outflanked respectively, which meant that Li Zhongxiang decided to give up the Qin army warring troops that were caught in the melee.

A strong man breaks his wrist.

Not everyone has the courage to make such a decision.

Especially the one who gave up his lieutenant general, a colleague who has always gotten along day and night.

Compared with Li Zhongxiang in desperation, the general was very proud during this time, and the number of Qin troops in front of him who was involved in the melee became smaller and smaller, although they had more advanced weapons, but after all, they were in a hurry, and the advantages of formation and overall combat could not be reflected.

As the vanguard, the Fan people succeeded in the surprise attack on the Qin camp, and the news was transmitted back to the Chu army, and the overlord Xiang Yu was overjoyed, that is, he ordered to reward the Fan people, and these rewards plus the power given by the Chu State would allow the Fan people to have more benefits in Jiangdong.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The sound of a sharp arrow piercing the night sky woke Wuyu from his fantasy.

His eyes widened, and he watched in disbelief as one brave compatriot after another in front of him screamed and fell, although their bodies were painted with fierce beasts such as sharks, dragons, tigers and leopards, but they could not avoid the dense rain of arrows of the Qin army. However, in the situation of melee, this indiscriminate rain of arrows not only took away the lives of Fanren, but also caused the sharp soldiers of the Qin army who were still fighting fiercely in the encirclement to fall in a pool of blood one by one.

"Qin Gou went crazy, they actually shot their own people." Wuyu lay on the ground with a frightened face, leaning on the corpse of a fan in front of him to dodge. (To be continued......)
