Chapter 90: The God of War of the East and West
"They refused?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, that Xiang Yu didn't give us face at all, saying that if they didn't destroy the tyrannical Qin, they wouldn't withdraw their troops! ”
"Humph! It's so deceitful! In that case, let these rebels all die! Hearing that the rebels had rejected his offer, Fusu finally made up his mind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And when Shi Jinshui learned the news, he was not surprised at all, and at the same time, his side was already ready for war.
A week later, Shi Jinshui and a Qin army sent by Fusu left Hangu Pass together. However, the number of this Qin army is too small, only more than 5,000 people, and the main general is Zhang Han.
"Damn! This Fusu is really intimidated to the extreme, we are helping him exterminate the rebels! He actually only sent such a small number of troops to help in the war! Seeing that Qin Jun only came with such a small number of people, Telangpu couldn't help but scold angrily.
Shi Jinshui understands that in addition to the fact that Fusu itself is indeed a bit cowardly, but also because the Qin army is already scared, speaking of which, this group of rebels is indeed talented, and their strength is the best among the rebels in the past dynasties. The Great Qin Qiang army, which had swept away the Six Kingdoms before, was beaten so that he couldn't take care of himself. To rely on such a group of soldiers who have been beaten out of the psychological shadow to fight those rebels is completely self-defeating. Now Fusu sent these people just to make a formality.
"Special wave flutter, you don't understand this, the more cowardly that Fusu is, the more beneficial it will be for the teacher to control the Qin State in the future, after all, as a puppet, if the personality is too tough, it is very inappropriate, I think this Fusu's temperament is the most suitable to be this puppet emperor." Unlike Turquoise's view, Adams offered his own opinion on the side.
Shi Jinshui couldn't help but feel very relieved to see that his student could look at the analysis from different aspects of things, which showed that the other party's overall view of the situation had really been gradually tempered, and it would be no problem to take over as the leader of the Thracian faction in the future. Just like Adams said, Fusu's weak temperament is indeed one of the reasons why he decided to help the other party, and the other reason is that the current Great Qin has lost his troops and generals, his strength and prestige have plummeted, and his influence in the Central Plains region is not as good as before. If the other party wants to sit firmly in this country, it must become a vassal state of New Carthage, relying on the strong military power of his historical sailors to deter those ambitious people in the country.
With the sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Han came to Shi Jinshui with a team of personal soldiers, and greeted him politely: "It's really hard for King Shi Jinshui!" For the sake of the peace of my Great Qin, I will personally lead the troops into battle to fight. ”
"Haha! It's okay! I am a martial artist, I don't know anything other than fighting, killing and killing, and it is my honor to be able to use this little bit of power to benefit my hometown and restore peace! Shi Jinshui was playing haha with the other party, and recalled in his heart the evaluation of Zhang Han in history, this general of the Qin State can be said to be a very complicated person, when the Qin State Mansion was about to fall, it was he who led a group of prisoners and slaves from Lishan to turn the tide, won many battles, and defeated the first two leaders of the rebel army, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Xiang Liang, the uncle who also killed Xiang Yu, to be honest, with such a rabble composed of criminals and slaves, he can fight like this, this guy can indeed be regarded as a great general. It can be called the pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty at the end of the Qin Dynasty. But such a figure who was relied on by Great Qin as a pillar stone, but after being defeated by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, he immediately surrendered to the rebel army, causing hundreds of thousands of elites of the Qin army under his command to be killed. exhausted the last breath of Great Qin's vitality.
In the end, Shi Jinshui came to the conclusion that this guy in his heart was that the general was good, but his will was not strong, and he was prone to rebellion, so he needed to send a suitable prison army to the other party's side, so that he could dare to use it with confidence.
I don't know what Zhang Han thought in his heart, after hesitating for a moment, he actually whispered to Shi Jinshui: "King Shi Jinshui, I heard that those rebels have more than one million soldiers, and Xiang Yu, who is called the god of war by those rebels, is even more innate and brave, I wonder if there is a general under the command of King Shi Jinshui who can match it?" ”
Shi Jinshui couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the other party suddenly ask such a strange sentence, thinking that the inertia of history would not be so strong! Could it be that this thing is like in history, hooked up with Xiang Yu and is ready to surrender to the rebels. Thinking so in his heart, Shi Jinshui deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "Haha! The god of war or something, most of them are just blown out, in our west, there was also a god of war before, called Xiang Tian, but in the end, it was not killed by me, or twice! General Zhang Han, you can rest assured, and when the time comes, you can watch the play with peace of mind on the side, and see how we clean up those rebels. ”
"Since King Shi Jinshui has said so, then he will dare to disobey his fate!" As Zhang Han spoke, a different color flashed in his eyes, and he thought: Since this is the case, it is not bad to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first! When the time comes, whoever wins, it will be better to take refuge there.
Next, Shi Jinshui and they didn't go far before they saw a large army, blocking the way, which was the rebel army composed of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Originally, Shi Jinshui thought that Zhang Han's sentence about the number of troops exceeding one million was just an exaggerated description, but he didn't expect that this guy was really a real person, and he didn't exaggerate it in the slightest. This group of damned rebels actually really got together an army of more than a million to meet them. The huge number of troops frightened Shi Jinshui and stopped the team far away.
"Hmmm! This is a bit of a big gap in strength! It seems that you have to rely on artillery to consume a little enemy soldier first, and by the way, to hit the opponent's morale, so that you can have a good time! Shi Jinshui looked at the black pressure in front of him, and he couldn't see the huge military formation at a glance, and whispered to himself.
However, just as he was about to let his artillery units exert their might, a drop of water suddenly fell on his face without warning.
"Oops! What's going on? Why doesn't it rain in the morning, it doesn't rain in the evening, and when the war starts on my side, it rains! Looking at the dark clouds that came out of nowhere in the sky, Shi Jinshui's face was bitter.
At this time, the rebel army on the opposite side was completely unaffected by the rain, and was approaching this side step by step with great momentum.
In the heavy rain, these extremely primitive artillery pieces under Shi Jin's sailors were completely unusable. This means that the biggest killer weapon he originally held in his hands has been abolished. He wanted to retreat directly with the army, but he was afraid that doing so would dampen the morale of his own soldiers. In the end, he looked at the Qin general Zhang Han on the other side, who was watching a good show, and finally gritted his teeth, but still did not order a retreat.
Zhang Han over there didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was trying to draw a clear line with Shi Jinshui, and with his five thousand Qin troops, he set up a defensive formation on a small hillside from afar, with a posture that I would never interfere in the battle, but just look at it from the side.
A few minutes later, the rebel army on the opposite side had narrowed the distance between the two sides to the effective range of the crossbowmen, and in the Huaxia region, the crossbow, as a long-range weapon that had been popularized for a long time, was naturally equipped in large quantities among the rebel army. In fact, many of the soldiers in this were actually Qin soldiers not long ago, and they only joined the rebel army after they were defeated and captured, so there is no doubt about their quality, and they definitely inherited the sharp archery skills of the Qin army.
Under the volley of hundreds of thousands of crossbowmen, the sky above the rebel army seemed to rise again on the ground, and then these dark clouds, when they rose to the highest point, rushed headlong into the army formation of New Carthage.
"Holy! Isn't this the legendary Great Qin Star Destroyer Crossbow! Luckily, we have a Roman enchantment shield here, otherwise we would definitely be shot in a minute! Shi Jinshui couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the terrible rain of arrows in the air that was falling towards his own large array with a sharp whistling sound.
"Defense! Defense! ”
"Defense! Shield Formation! ”
Amid the shouts of the officers, the New Carthaginian soldiers with large shields raised their shields one after another, and quickly formed an impenetrable shield array, protecting all friendly troops.
But despite this, under the terrible rain of arrows, there were still some soldiers who missed their shields and were shot because of the continuous rain of arrows. When the arrow rain was completely over, there were more than 700 casualties, although most of them were only slightly injured, but they still looked at Shi Jinshui with a lot of tongue-smacking.
"No! Can't be so stupidly shot anymore! The artillery could not be used, and the number of crossbowmen was far inferior to that of the opposite side, so if you want to win this battle, you can only rely on cavalry and infantry to fight hard! Shi Jinshui made up his mind in his heart, so he no longer hesitated, stepped on his war horse, drew his war knife, and ordered loudly to his subordinates: "The pikemen are responsible for protecting the long-range troops. Everyone else, follow me! ”
In the large array of the rebel army on the opposite side, Liu Bang was still surprised by the strength of the enemy's defense, and he was very clear about the power of his own arrow array. The enemy army on the opposite side, under the attack of its own arrow array, only suffered less than a thousand casualties in one round. And immediately shoot a wave of equally powerful arrows to fight back.
"Whew! Fortunately, our army is much larger than the other side, and if we shoot like this, although we will pay a certain amount of casualties, the one who wins in the end will definitely be us! Turning to look at the huge number of troops on his side, Liu Bang muttered to himself with a sense of luck.
However, as soon as his words fell, in the large array opposite, a general wearing gorgeous armor rushed out of the military formation with a large number of ironclad cavalry and heavy chariots. Behind these cavalry and chariots were an even greater number of infantry.
After being stunned for a while, Liu Bang finally reacted, the other party was ready to rush directly into battle! The opponent's ironclad cavalry and heavy chariots look very powerful, if your own soldiers fail to stop these enemies, then it is really possible to be overturned by the opponent!
After discovering this, Liu Bang and a group of rebel leaders hurriedly passed orders to the front line, allowing their own soldiers to form a strong enough defense line before the opposing cavalry and chariot troops rushed over.
