Chapter 576: The army of the Qin State left Los Angeles

Just when the people were rushing to Zhao, Wang Yi finally received a message from the King of Qin and the envoy to the country of Han, Dr. Tu Jia: The king of Han was nearly shaken, and he slowly attacked it, adding the last fire to the rebellion of the king of Han.

It is already late autumn, and once the harsh winter begins, the consumption of the big war may increase exponentially. Although there was no intention of urging a decisive battle in the letter of the King of Qin, it was clear that the King of Qin hoped to end the battle before the harsh winter.

Wang Ji understood that this game of chess had come to an end.

Eyes jumped to the coalition camp in the distance, for several months, the coalition army did almost nothing else, the only thing to think about was to build a camp and build a fortification.

In more than three months, the hard work of more than 200,000 troops, this large battalion was almost built into a more careful pass, and there was no difference.

Wang Yi could already imagine how stubbornly his attack would encounter, and what a heavy price his soldiers would pay.

But there is no way, these prices must be paid for the ultimate victory.

Only by letting the coalition see their losses and see the hope of victory can they be retained, and they can be annihilated in one fell swoop in the final battle of the turnaround.

And all this has been rehearsed countless times in Wang Di's heart.

Then, let's fight!

Exhaled deeply, facing the rising sun, Wang Ji slowly took almost all of his family wealth and slowly marched towards the coalition camp!

With the sound of a low and melodious horn, a black dragon meandered over the homeland of the Zhou Dynasty.

The army was divided into two groups, on the right was the main army of the Qin army, mainly infantry, and on the left was the cavalry group of the Qin army.

Needless to say, the task of the main army is to break through the main camp of the coalition army, and the cavalry group is responsible for blocking the Zhao army that may come to help.

The reason why the coalition army with more people was chosen to attack the Zhao army, which only had 80,000 troops, was very simple, the combat effectiveness of the 80,000 Zhao army was not necessarily worse than the combat effectiveness of the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops.

Of course, more importantly: now is not the time for a decisive battle.

The priority goal of this operation was to help King Han make up his mind to withdraw his troops.

How can it help?

Beat him up completely, and then let Tu Jia give two sweet dates and promise some benefits, he will naturally want to withdraw his troops.

So, the South Korean army must pay the price!

Naturally, the target of the attack could only be the coalition battalion.

Looking at the main army again, it is composed of neat phalanxes, which are divided into front, middle and rear armies.

At the forefront of the front army were undoubtedly three rows of sword and shield soldiers, holding a long shield in their left hand to defend themselves against enemy attacks, and a standard long sword in their right hand to attack the enemy's weakness.

The standard long sword is ordinary, although it is also made by craftsmen, but there are not too many special places, sharp and heavy, perhaps it is not much of his attributes.

And the long shield looks ordinary, but its cost is more than several times that of the long sword.

First, a single piece of hard wood is used as the base plate, covered with a layer of cowhide soaked in oil, and then fixed with iron sheets around it. The top of the cowhide is covered with a thin layer of wood core to increase the buffering capacity, and the top of the wooden core is tightly covered with raw cowhide, and the top of the raw cowhide is covered with a layer of iron sheet that is not too thick, and the iron sheet continues to be covered with cowhide. Finally, it is reinforced with rivets, and a long shield is considered to be done.

Such a long shield has both the tension of cowhide, the hardness of an iron shield, and the resilience given by this wooden core, which not only improves the protection ability compared to a general iron shield, but also only one-third of the weight, which is simply perfect.

Not only is the sword and axe difficult to break, but even the arrows are very difficult to nail to the shield surface, and it is even more difficult to penetrate, it can be said that the seemingly ordinary long shield gives the shield soldiers and the Qin soldiers behind them the greatest protection.

Of course, behind the sturdiness is the complicated craftsmanship and the high cost.

It's just the Qin State, other countries don't have such wealth, using iron sheets and wooden boards, and covering the outside with a layer of cowhide, it is already all they have.

From this point of view, the combat power of the Qin army can stand above the countries,

It's not just an accident, and it's not just a matter of training.

Behind the sword and shield men, armed to the teeth, were two rows of light infantry.

It's just that this group of infantrymen is not tall and burly, and they don't even have a decent armor on their bodies, and their sturdy helmets are even rarer, and only the long knives glowing with cold light in their hands silently show their bravery.

That's right, they are the most dangerous and powerful class of the Qin army, the Jumping Soldiers.

A slightly thin body, coupled with light clothing, gives them a strong sense of mobility. Mobility is all they have, and in battle, they will hide behind their shields, and once they make contact, they will jump out and kill the enemy.

In order to be flexible enough, they even abandoned all defenses, holding the sharpest long knives, which existed specifically to harvest enemy troops and break gaps.

Behind the jumpers are foot soldiers dressed in armor and holding spears and other long weapons, who can extend their spears through the gap above the shield to kill the enemy, and at the same time, they can resist the enemy's shield to isolate themselves from the battlefield, making room for their jumpers and archers in the rear.

Of course, if the cavalry is attacking, the spearmen will also take the place of the jumpers, forming a spear formation behind the shield soldiers, posing a certain threat to the cavalry.

As the saying goes, an inch long and an inch strong, on the battlefield, the spearmen have always been the backbone of the infantry army.

After the spearmen, there were foot soldiers dressed in iron armor, with a small shield tied to their left hand and a standard sword in their right hand, which was the main force to climb the barriers, and they were also the strongest and best-equipped hoplites in the Qin army.

If the shield soldiers, who have just been armed to the teeth, are more defensive, then this hoplite is more used to attack.

With the gap opened by the jumpers, all this hoplite had to do was to stick it, hold the gap, expand the gap, and finally open the passage for the army and completely cut through the enemy's line.

Of course, these infantry in front of you, although they have their own uses, are all melee troops.

After the period, it is a medium and long-range export force.

Next to the heavy infantry were the throwers with javelins and stones on their backs and long knives at their waists, and needless to say, their main means of attack was to throw javelins and stones, carry out aerial strikes on the spear phalanx behind the enemy's shield soldiers, and cooperate with the jumpers to open the gap.

In the back, there is the crossbow unit that the Qin army is most proud of.

The long shield and long sword in front, although there is a gap with the other five countries, the gap is not as big as imagined, but the crossbow soldiers, especially the strong crossbows of the Qin army, are in the leading situation.

There is no problem that Qin Jun's bed crossbow can't solve, if one shot doesn't work, then another shot.

In terms of power, range, and even size and flexibility, the Qin army's crossbow arrows crushed the Shandong kingdoms in almost all aspects.

And here, it already belongs to the category of the Chinese army.

The crossbowmen are surrounded by a phalanx of spears, although the crossbow is powerful, but it is a medium and long-range means of attack, although there is also a long knife on the waist, but until the last resort, no general will be willing to take the crossbowmen who have been trained with great difficulty as ordinary infantry.

Naturally, it is a matter of course to use a phalanx of spears to protect it.

After the crossbowmen, there is Wang Di's Chinese army, a pole that stands up to the sky and the earth, with more than a dozen huge war drums and horns, which together constitute the brain of the entire army.

After that, it was the equipment of the Qin army: arrow towers, ladders, rushing cars, stone throwing vehicles, and so on.

After the middle army, there is the rear army. Because of the requirements of the defensive attributes of the rear army, naturally there are still most spear phalanxes.

Stepping on the neat beat of the drum, the 200,000 Qin army slaughtered towards the coalition camp.

Obviously, Wang Yi is not going to use any regular soldiers, but to use a dignified attack to knock open the camp of the coalition army and break through the psychological defense line of King Han.

Naturally, such a large-scale operation could not be hidden from the lookouts of the coalition forces.

Almost as soon as the Qin army left the city, the mournful whistle had already resounded in the camp of the coalition army.

Soldiers of the former battalion who heard the whistle,

Immediately mounted on the wall, said to be the wall, after the construction of 200,000 troops, almost no difference to the city wall, although not two horses in parallel, but three people in parallel is more than enough.

At the same time, Xin Lingjun, the chief general of the coalition army, and the generals of Han and Chu also climbed the city wall one after another to check the movements of the Qin army.

At this glance, the mood of several people is quite contradictory, it can be said that they are both excited and a little apprehensive.

Excitedly, his plan to burn grain and force the war had already worked, and the Qin army, under the threat of food shortage, really gave up the advantage of defending the city and attacked him.

What is worrying is that the neat and uniform phalanx, the blades with cold light on each side, can the rabble under his command really withstand it?

Just as a few people were shocked, there was a real thunderous sound of war drums on the side.

That's the war drum that the Zhao army has assembled! This sacred war drum seems to have infinite magical power.

Suddenly, several people seemed to have found the backbone in their hearts, in fact, everyone also knew that now, whether they can withstand it or not, they have to be topped!

Immediately, Xinlingjun ordered: "Drum and blow the trumpet, and all the arms will fight!"

"Yes." All the generals around him agreed.

Soon, in the camp of the coalition army, the sound of horns and thunderous drums sounded immediately, perhaps because they had been waiting for a long time, in the face of the Qin army's large-scale pressure, the soldiers of the coalition army did not panic, and soon under the leadership of their respective commanders and commanders, they came to their posts.

"General Jing." Xin Lingjun then nodded.

"The end will be." The war was imminent, and the general of Chu also threw away all distractions and bowed to Xinling Jun.

"Your troops are the weakest, and the northern wall near the Zhao army's camp will be handed over to you." Xin Lingjun didn't talk nonsense, and immediately assigned tasks.

"The last general commands." General Jing of the State of Chu also immediately agreed.

"General Han." Shin Lingjun continued to point to the general.

"The southern wall will be given to the general." Shinling-kun continued to order.

"Yes, the last general commands." The general of Han Zhiguo also immediately agreed.

"As for the defense of the west and the rear army, it is up to our Wei army to take care of it." Xin Lingjun then waved his hand and said, "All armies go and prepare for war!"

"Yes." The generals once again agreed in unison.

It should be said that Xinlingjun's arrangement is still very selfless. It is almost a task assigned according to the strength of each army.

The army of Chu experienced the defeat of the vanguard, and suffered the heaviest losses, with only 30,000 troops left, he was arranged to the west near the camp of the Zhao army, and with the alliance between Zhao and Chu, the Zhao army was bound to not stand idly by.

Han Zhiguo's army, because he had just been overshadowed by the Qin army's 10,000 troops, and only the army of death remained, so it was not a big problem to defend the south.

Even the most dangerous and difficult frontal battlefield, that is, the western city wall, was left to himself. Not only the front, but the east side is unlikely to be attacked, but Shinling-kun is also handed over to himself.

No one can fault this arrangement.

It's a pity that if you want a bowl of water, you have to be able to let your opponent serve it!

And Wang Yi came to attack this time, in order to detonate the contradictions within you, how can you let you serve the water well.
