Battle of Changping Chapter 036 Fight for your life to reach the West Bank

After paying tens of thousands of lives, the army of Zhao finally arrived on the west bank of Danshui.

And such a small price has greatly surprised Zhao Kuo and the generals of the Zhao army.

That's right, the price of tens of thousands of people is indeed not big, at least not as big as Zhao Kuo and Lian Po expected.

Among them, there is naturally the credit of cutting off the Danshui and speeding up the efficiency of the army's crossing of the river, and there is also the credit that the strongest bow of the Qin army caused by the morning mist to fail to play the greatest effect, and perhaps it is also due to the fact that the soldiers of the Zhao army are not afraid of death.

However, Zhao Kuo knew in his heart that the biggest credit was probably the high-level of the Qin army.

Whether the act of cutting off Danshui can be concealed from the Qin army is obviously not very good, especially the main general on the opposite side is still the battle-hardened Bai Qi, even if it is the dry season, he will not fail to pay attention to the level of the Danshui water surface;

The morning attack, or even the night attack, the Qin army should have a plan to face it calmly, although today's response of the Qin army is not unpleasant and inappropriate, but it is obviously not doing its best.

The truth is similar to what Zhao Kuo imagined.

In the face of the dense rain of arrows of the Qin army, the Zhao army on the river was suppressed so that it could not raise its head, and less than half of it could rush to the east bank, and the siege equipment and other baggage were not even to think about it, if it continued to fight, I am afraid that it would not even be able to touch the barrier, and Danshui would become the tomb of the Zhao army.

Through the hazy mist, Wang Yi and Ying Yi looked at Zhao Jun, who had been unable to go ashore for a long time, and they were a little anxious, and they wanted to let the arrow rain slow down several times! What can I do if I press Zhao Jun back directly!

Fortunately, there was no shortage of brave generals among the Zhao army, and under the leadership of these captains, the vanguard of the Zhao army finally set foot on the west bank of Danshui, and new challenges were immediately put on the desks of both sides.

The first Zhao troops to reach the west bank of Danshui were cavalry and the archers they carried.

As soon as they reached the shore, the team of archers was put down, and groups of archers quickly tangled together, and under the leadership of their respective commanders and chiefs, they quickly adjusted their bows and arrows.

While adjusting the bow and arrow, under the command of the captain, they quickly formed a phalanx.

At this time, the Qin army's arrow array was roaring through their heads.

In an instant, the sound of falling water like dumplings sounded behind them. The whistling rain of arrows was the best urging, and before the first scream came from behind, the bow and arrow were already in their hands, just waiting for the command lieutenant to give an order.

"Hitch!" Seeing that most of his subordinates were ready, the quick-eyed captain immediately shouted and ordered!

The sound of "pop pop pop ......" came and went, and I saw the archers bowing their heads one after another, and the long arrows that had already been prepared in their right hands were put on the longbow, and in just an instant, on the west bank, the phalanx of the archers of the Zhao army instantly erupted with a powerful aura.

"Lead!" The lieutenant picked up the command flag in his hand and ordered loudly on the other.

Hearing the order, the archers of the Zhao army exerted their strength with both hands, held the bow in their left hand, adjusted the angle of the arrow, and raised a large piece of the biceps muscle in their right hand, and pulled the strong bow of several stones very completely, diagonally forty-five degrees towards the west bank barrier of the Qin army in the distance.

"Put!" The red order flag in the captain's hand suddenly fell, and a short order was blurted out.

With the order of the captain, the arrow rain of the Zhao army rose into the air, and under the background of the increasingly clear sunlight, the arrow rain of the Qin army met in the air, one side went to the Qin army barrier, and the other side came to the Danshui water!

Thousands of arrows fell into their respective camps. Almost simultaneously, wails and screams were heard from both directions.

Obviously, the power of the Zhao army's arrow rain is not inferior to the Qin army, you must know that the Qin army's arrows are sharp, that is a well-known thing, and the Zhao army's arrow rain can have such power, on the one hand, because this first batch of archers and soldiers is the elite of the Zhao army.

Of course, on the other hand, it also shows that Zhao's weapons are not inferior to Qin's. After all, there are many iron mines in the territory of Zhao State, and the iron tools produced by it, especially weapons, are also cutting-edge best-selling in the Warring States (second only to Han Zhiguo, Qin State does not sell!). )

Yan Zhao is a generous and tragic man, but how can a strong man not have a good weapon?

This is also one of the important reasons why Zhao was able to fight back and forth with the Qin army after the fiasco in Changping.

Standing on top of the city, the archers of the Qin State who were wantonly slaughtering the Zhao army on the river, where would they have thought that the counterattack of the Zhao State would come so quickly and violently.

Caught off guard, a rain of arrows attacked the Qin army and brought great losses to the Qin army, even more serious than the losses caused by the Qin army to the Zhao army.

Although the number of archers of the Zhao army is still insufficient compared with the Qin army, one is that the Zhao army is full of moving targets on the Danshui, and the marching speed is not slow, and the other is that the Zhao army has experienced a rain of arrows and has protective measures such as raising shields, while the Qin army is unprepared and stands in a phalanx intensively, and there are no protective measures.

In comparison, under this round of arrow rain attacking each other, it was the Zhao army that had the upper hand, and the Qin army archers above the barrier suffered heavy losses.

This coke is bad for the generals - regardless of Qin Zhao!

Needless to say, Zhao Jun has the upper hand, and in this precious time, more Zhao Jun can cross the Danshui and touch the Qin army's barriers!

And the high-level generals of the Qin army were also happy, what they were thinking was: Hey, finally there is no need to release water anymore, it should be able to attract the Zhao army, my archers have been hit hard, hurry up and attack me!

However, it was the soldiers who suffered—no matter Qin Zhao!

The pain, the dead and wounded were all the soldiers below, and the wails and cries for help resounded along the Danshui line, whether it was the Qin army fortress or the Danshui water, it was a hellish scene with broken arms and stumps flowing like blood.

Ci is not in charge of the army - not just a few words on a piece of paper!

But the fighting continues, and so does the suffering.

Without having time to celebrate, the Qin army archers on the barrier were slightly suppressed, and the Zhao army on the west bank of Danshui quickly adjusted the formation under the leadership of the captain, and the large phalanx was divided into several small phalanxes, and the space cut in the middle was for the follow-up troops to advance.

Adjusting the formation under his feet, he didn't dare to stop the kung fu in his hands, and after just standing still, the archers of the Zhao army immediately began a new round of suppression. They knew very well that although they briefly interrupted the rain of arrows of the Qin army, the strongest soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms were not just talking.

The Qin army on the rampart was hit by the Zhao army's arrow rain, and after a short period of distraction, it was a quick counterattack - the auxiliaries carried the wounded and killed archers off the rampart, and the uninjured archers quickly concentrated and adjusted under the command of their respective captains.

"Points!"

With a wave of the flag in the captain's hand, the Qin army's archers phalanx moved in response, and it quickly decomposed from a large square into several small squares. And the archers of the Zhao army, who had just suppressed the Qin army, would also usher in their nightmare.
