Chapter 329: The Great King is mighty

Qingji and Qihou Pestle, who had spoken harshly to each other, both returned to their own formations.

Pestle looked around, looking at the soldiers of the nearby princes' coalition army, and couldn't help but feel excited for a while.

Throughout the ages, how many people can command more than 100,000 troops?

And now, the pestle mortar is one of them.

He wants to use this battle to lay the foundation for himself to squeeze the Jin State off the altar and restore the hegemony of the Qi State!

With a "swish", Pestle pulled out the saber at his waist, pointed at the Wu army array opposite, and said loudly: "Soldiers! It is a great honor for us to be able to participate in this battle! ”

"This battle will surely go down in history and be immortal! Defend our glory with the blood of your enemies! ”

"Kill—"

"Roar, roar, roar!"

In the phalanx of the alliance of princes, there was a roar.

Angry!

More than 100,000 people shouted in unison, and this momentum is really not covered.

However, Wu Jun's side also did not give in.

I saw that Qingji also pulled out his Longyuan sword, turned around, faced all the soldiers of the Wu army, and said loudly: "Gentlemen! This battle is a battle to defend the country, and we have no way out! ”

"Take a step back, the ones who suffer are the parents, wives and children of the second and third sons, and the neighbors!"

"What you are facing is not a fierce and strong enemy, but a bunch of local chickens and dogs with teeth and claws!"

"Now, hold the spear tightly, lift the bow and crossbow, and let the enemy see how powerful my Wu army is!"

"Wu Jun is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

The soldiers of the Wu army shouted loudly.

"Wu Jun is mighty!"

Qingji waved his hand again.

"The King is mighty—"

"Drumming!"

With Qingji's order, the drummer, who had long been ready to go, was shirtless, revealing his sturdy upper body, picked up the drum, and hit it the cowhide war drum.

"Winter! Winter! Winter! ……”

The dull and murderous sound of war drums instantly resounded throughout the wilderness.

The soldiers of the Wu army clenched their weapons one after another, staring ahead, their faces full of high-spirited and undying fighting intent.

These people, who have fought against the Chu army or the Yue army all the year round, have already experienced the baptism of blood and fire for the rest of their lives, and have been tempered into brave warriors.

Even some of the only well-trained soldiers were infected by this atmosphere of slaughter, and they had a kind of attitude of seeing death as home!

On the other hand, on the side of the princes' coalition army, in the phalanx, many soldiers have begun to stir, and they dare not take a breath in the atmosphere.

Many of them were on the battlefield by pulling strong dings, and even if they were trained soldiers, few of them had experienced the baptism of war, and they had not even killed a single person!

This rash battle can be imagined what the consequences will be.

"Shield Array, move forward!"

With Qingji's order, the order flag on the high platform waved, and the front army led by Sun Wu, the shield bearer standing at the forefront, also moved forward step by step.

They walked in unison movements, and every time they took three steps, they shouted "kill" loudly, and this huge wave of qi shocked the timid enemy on the opposite side even more heartbroken.

Some of the soldiers of the coalition army are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are already fighting in two strands, and they almost want to go first.

And as the shield bearers of the Wu army moved, the crossbowmen and charioteers who followed behind also moved forward.

"Qianjun, press on!"

Qi Hou was not to be outdone, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the officers and soldiers of the Qi army, who were in the front army, to walk over step by step.

The shield array is also used as the first line of defense.

With the Qi army as the front army, it was a helpless move.

Because the pestle also knows what kind of combat power the soldiers of such countries as Song, Lu, Wei, and Cao are.

Mixed!

Moreover, if the Qi army, as the leader of the alliance, is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is afraid that the losses will be too great, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the armies of other countries.

After the Qi army entered the range of the crossbow, Sun Wu took the lead and ordered: "Crossbowman, prepare!" ”

"Kachatsa ......"

The crossbowmen of the Wu army, who had long been ready to attack, immediately placed the arrow cluster on the crossbow machine and aimed it at the enemy on the opposite side.

This time, the soldiers of the Qi army were surprised.

Wu people, this is the rhythm of the arrow?

However, the two armies are more than a hundred paces apart, and the bow and arrow of the Wu army can shoot so far?

Just when the soldiers of the Qi army felt incredulous, Sun Wu shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Whoosh ......"

Thousands of arrows were missed, and they flew into the sky in an instant, like locusts crossing the border, and quickly shot towards the enemy a hundred paces away.

"Poof, poof—"

"Uhh

The soldiers of the Qi army were suddenly overwhelmed.

The shield was still able to block the first wave of the attack, but it only hurt the charioteers and archers behind them, and before they could react, they were already shot under their horses by a dense rain of arrows, and they died of exhaustion.

Seeing this, Pestle couldn't help but stare at him, and said dumbfoundedly: "What...... How can it be? Isn't that thing in the Wu army a bow? ”

Shangqing Guoxia on the side frowned and said, "The king, the minister has also heard of it." The Wu army has something called a 'crossbow', which is more powerful and has a range than ordinary bows, and the Chu people suffered a lot of losses from Wu's crossbows on the battlefield last year. ”

"Hateful!"

The pestle smashed his fist on the railing of the car, very indignant.

"Charioteers! Sortie! ”

In desperation, Pestle could only let the chariots on the coalition side's side be dispatched.

Choosing the south bank of Huaishui as the place of fierce battle, Pestle and Mortar was prescient.

Because this place, the terrain is open and flat, which is very suitable for chariot combat.

And if the alliance of princes arrives at the capital of Wu, or even on both sides of the river, there are many lofty mountains and mountains, the roads are blocked, and in some places the chariots cannot be used.

Chariots, as the main military force of this era, are used in the Central Plains, so if you want to test chariots, the pestle and mortar are not afraid of the Wu army at all!

"Boom!"

With Pestle's order, the entire two thousand military vehicles rushed to the Wu army formation on the opposite side.

Qi is worthy of being a wealthy country, as soon as it is shot, it is a thousand military vehicles, accounting for half of the coalition army, and the remaining half is from other countries, but it is far inferior to the Qi army in terms of quality!

How will the Wu army deal with the onslaught of the coalition army's 2,000 troop vehicles?

This is not difficult for Sun Wu, who is the former commander of the Wu army.

"Trebuchet, bed crossbow, ready!"

When the 2,000 chariots of the coalition army rushed over, Sun Wu stood calmly on the chariot and commanded.

Suddenly, the crossbowmen withdrew, and in their place, many Wu soldiers placed bed crossbows one after another in front of them.

The trebuchet was then pushed to the front, and the Wu army had already assembled the trebuchet long before the war.

A whole thousand three-bow bed crossbows, and three hundred trebuchets, enough for a tank of charioteers of the coalition army!

"Put!"

Sun Wu shouted loudly.

"Kachatsa ......"

With a tooth-aching sound, the arrows on the three-bow bed crossbow flew out.
