Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle of the Blemished Sun
On this day, the weather is very good, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sky is clear.
Under the sky was a black crowd of people, and the cold soldiers reflected the faint cold light, murderous.
On the plain, dozens of Qin army formations lined up neatly, holding long halberds in their hands and wearing heavy armor, standing there like a majestic mountain.
Dressed in armor, with a solemn complexion, he stood proudly on the chariot, and the black banner was hunting in the wind, majestic and majestic.
On the opposite side, the walls that stretch like the Great Wall across the entire Defective Sun stand high, and the trenches crisscross and crisscross the Perfection Sun.
Meng Fu looked at the towering wall in the distance, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but he was fearless.
Both the Qin army and the Wei army have already put all their chips on the table.
Now, it is the last and most critical moment of the gambling game.
The hole cards of both sides will be opened one by one, and when everyone's hole cards are all played, it is time to really decide the winner.
"Let the front army attack first!" Meng Fu commanded in a deep voice.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
In front of the big drum that was as tall as a person, the shirtless warriors of the Qin army waved the drumsticks in their hands vigorously and smashed them towards the huge drum face.
With the sound of heavy drums and a loud and urgent horn, the Qin army's array suddenly changed its formation, and rows of Qin soldiers quickly moved forward.
They were greeted by a dense and fierce rain of arrows from the Wei army.
Round after round of arrows rained down, and the Qin soldiers who rushed in front shot a piece and fell to the ground.
However, the Qin army continued to advance, until it was only about thirty steps away from the Wei army, when the Qin army in the front row suddenly stepped into the air and sank in, and was pierced by the spikes in the pit, and in an instant, screams rang out.
In front of the Qin soldiers was a deep ditch three zhang wide, seven or eight meters deep, and the bottom was covered with sharp and sharp wooden thorns.
This ditch blocked the Qin soldiers from continuing to move forward.
"Put!"
With a command, the Wei army's crossbowmen did not hesitate to launch the arrows in their hands, and in an instant, the dense arrows fell from the sky like a storm.
Hearing a muffled sound, countless Qin soldiers died on the spot in an instant, blood flowing in the uneven soil, staining the soil red.
The Qin soldiers in the front row erected a shield wall to resist the rain of arrows, and the Qin soldiers in the back began to fill in the pits.
Braving the rain of arrows from the Wei army, the Qin army slowly moved forward.
By the time they reached the first trench, the Wei army had already retreated to the second trench through the connected tunnels, and what awaited them was still a rain of arrows and a trench full of thorns.
"I'm afraid the general will ...... if he goes on like this," Kong Kun said worriedly as he looked at the scene on the front line.
"Order the next army to prepare and continue to advance." Meng Fu commanded in a cold voice.
"But ......"
"Do it!" Meng Fu shouted angrily.
"The last general commands!" Kong Kun replied in a low voice, turning around to convey Meng Fu's military order.
Before the wall, the sound of killing shook the sky, the spears of the Wei army were like a forest, the Qin army was like snow, and the two sides fought fiercely in front of the wall. Every quarter of an hour, hundreds of lives were lost, blood stained the land, and the battle was terrible.
The Qin army was like an endless black wave, roaring towards the Wei army.
The Wei army's fortification line is like a rock standing proudly on the coast, let your wind blow and the waves blow, and I will not move.
Meng Fu looked at the Qin soldiers in the distance who had climbed the first barrier, his eyes were shining, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Beat the drum and cheer!" β
"Knock knock!"
The war drums beat frantically, the rhythm of the drums getting faster and faster, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the wilderness.
Qin Bing held the Pu knife in his hand, and rushed forward frantically to the sound of the drum, and every time he took a step forward, a touch of hideousness would appear on their faces, and the steel knife in their hands was wielded more fiercely.
"Kill!"
"The head of the enemy will be rewarded with a thousand catties!"
Qin Jun's shouts of killing resounded through the sky, like a bloodthirsty wolf pack, desperately biting its prey.
The two sides kept colliding and engaged in hand-to-hand combat on narrow walls and trenches.
Blood was constantly sprayed, staining the entire ravine, corpses were piled up, and stumps and broken arms were scattered on the ground at random, this was an out-and-out meat grinding war......
The remnants of the sun were like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on this barren land, piling up mountains of corpses, broken armor and weapons lying on the ground, and the rich smell of blood permeated the entire land.
Even at the cost of tens of thousands of people, the Qin army still stopped at the ten lines of defense on the outside of the Wei army, unable to advance half an inch.
Meng Fu's expression was cold, his eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness, he glanced around the battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." β
"Woo-woo-woo-"
With the sound of a melodious horn, Qin Bing finally stopped advancing.
In front of the Wei army, Wei Wuji, as the commander of the Wei army, looked at the Qin army slowly retreating in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This tunnel tactic really worked wonders, but the troops defending the outer line of defense became dead soldiers from the beginning, and their only task was to continuously consume the living forces of the Qin army and create an advantage for the main force of the inner defense line.
β¦β¦β¦
The night breeze was blowing, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the Qin army camp, and the bonfire outside the camp tent was slowly burning, reflecting the surrounding environment in a flickering light.
In the big tent, Meng Fu sat behind the handsome case, his palm caressing the scabbard, and his eyes were slightly closed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and a wisp of cold and cold light flashed away, and immediately, he said in a deep voice outside the tent: "Someone! β
"The end will be." A deep male voice sounded.
"Pass my order and order the third division of the left army to prepare for the attack." Meng Fu commanded indifferently.
"Commander Qin, let the people of your Black Ice Platform also participate in this operation." Meng Fu looked at the man in black who was guarding beside him.
"General Meng, I have been tasked with protecting your safety." The man in black refused the order.
There are many masters in the Wei army, even if he is in the big camp, it is still difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen, and he does not dare to leave Mengfu.
Meng Fu frowned when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.
Although the Black Ice Platform is a confidential organization of the Qin military, it directly belongs to the Qin Court, and he cannot use his authority to call the Black Ice Platform.
Under the cover of night, the Qin army quietly dispatched and quickly approached the outer defense line of the Wei army under the cover of night.
The strange thing is that in this battlefield that was once filled with shouts and killings, there was no noise, only silence, and the night full of solemn atmosphere, except for the Qin army, there was not a trace of the activities of the Wei army, and the Qin army successfully occupied this fortress.
"Woo Woo ......"
Just as the Qin army was about to move forward, in the trembling sound of bowstrings, the Wei army's arrow rain was overwhelming.
"Raise your shield!" The Qin general shouted, and the Qin army raised their shields one after another to block the Wei army's attack.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow pierced the void and slammed into the shield.
"Poof!"
Blood splattered on the chest of the Qin soldier, and his body staggered to the ground.
One arrow after another quickly shot into the Qin soldiers, taking away one life after another, and the Qin soldiers kept falling on the battlefield.
The Qin soldiers in the back put the planks on the ground, forming a simple trestle bridge.
There were no Wei troops in the trenches, so the trestle bridge that the Qin army built on the pit was not attacked by the Wei army.
The Qin soldiers advanced along the trestle, and the crossbow arrows of the Wei army continued to shoot at the Qin army.
The surging Qin soldiers stepped on the bones of their comrades, constantly pressing forward, and the distance between the two sides was gradually shortening.
The Wei army in the seventh trench quickly withdrew along the tunnel, towards the last rampart.
Looking at the approaching Qin army, the Wei general said to the herald beside him: "Order all departments, prepare according to the predetermined battle plan, and let the enemy advance to the sixth line of defense before pouring fire oil in the ditch, the first three arrow wheel salvos only need to be shot with normal feather arrows, and the rockets are only allowed to be released after thirty steps away from the main formation, quickly!"
For the possible night battle launched by the Qin army, the Wei army had already prepared to intercept the Qin army at night.
Seeing that the Qin army had advanced to the sixth line of defense, the spearhead at the forefront shouted: "The enemy is three hundred steps away from me!" β
"Oil." The Wei army general calmly ordered.
The Wei soldiers, who had already prepared, immediately opened the oil tank and poured dark yellow flowing oil into the drainage canal that had been designed long ago, and several long ditches that were only about half a foot deep soon became two dark yellow streams, and a pungent smell of oil immediately permeated the entire battlefield.
The spearhead shouted again: "The enemy is a hundred paces and twenty steps away from me!" β
The Wei general's hand waved violently: "Crossbowmen in the front row, prepare!" β
The six hundred crossbow archers in the first row unhurriedly mounted their arrows and aimed at the Qin army array in the distance, ready to shoot at any time.
"The enemy is sixty paces away from me!"
"Shoot the arrowsβ"
A rain of arrows poured out from the Wei army's formation, and dense arrows like raindrops flew through the space of hundreds of meters with a terrible whistling sound, and fiercely plunged into the Qin army's formation on the opposite side.
Suddenly, the crowd of the Qin army on the opposite side fell one by one like wheat that had been cut down, screaming and wailing again and again.
But this did not stop the offensive of the Qin army in the slightest, the crossbowmen of the Wei army continued to fire sharp weapons, and the rain of arrows seemed to pour out endlessly, and wave after wave of Qin soldiers turned into corpses in pools of blood in front of this terrifying rain of arrows......
"The enemy is forty paces away from me!"
"Spearmen in formation! Crossbowmen on rockets! The Wei army general shouted in a deep voice, and at the same time raised the long sword in his hand.
When the Qin army's front army advanced to only thirty steps away from the Wei army's main formation, the long sword in his hand fell suddenly: "Release the arrowββ"
In an instant, the Wei army's rockets rained out like a storm, instantly covering the Qin army's position on the opposite side.
Boom β
With a shocking sound, the hot fireball rose into the air, and the blazing flames shone the Qin army on the opposite side as if it were daylight, and the smoke rolled over, and the sparks fell in the fire oil canal, which was immediately ignited, and several fire dragons rose into the sky, and the raging sea of fire instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
The tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who were in the sea of fire couldn't escape at all, and they were swallowed up by the scorching waves of air in an instant, and the terrible screams came and went, almost filling the entire valley.
The Qin general Meng Fu, who was watching the battle in front of the big camp, watched this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the expression on his face did not look too sad, but he indifferently ordered: "Send cavalry to sweep the formation east of the Yang River to prevent the Wei army on the opposite bank from taking advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and order the reserve troops to withdraw." β
"The last general commands!" The guards on the side stepped back.
Looking at the raging fire ahead, Meng Fu knew that night fighting was no longer feasible, and decisively ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
In the Wei army's defense line on the west bank of the Yang River, Fu Nian looked at the raging fire on the Qin army's position, and his mood was a little inexplicable.
The fierce fire oil and anti-night attack tactics were all formulated by him, and this wave of fires buried tens of thousands of lives.
It can be said that the beacon fire is burning endlessly, and the battle is endless. Died in field fighting, and the trumpet of the defeated horse sounded to the heavens. The black kite pecks at people's intestines and flies on the dead branches. The soldiers are reckless, and the generals are empty.
Soldiers are murder weapons, and they are used as a last resort.
It should be about to start over there, he turned his head to look in the direction where the Qin military camp was located, it was not only the Qin army that was preparing to attack tonight.
