Short spear units and catapult units formed the medium and long-range strike forces of the two armies.

These two troops were naturally followed by crossbowmen and archers.

The so-called strong bow and hard crossbow, the reason why the Qin army was able to dominate the six countries, the power of the bow and crossbow is also a lot of meritorious service. Compared with hand-to-hand combat, this group of long-range troops in the rear is obviously the real killer.

Of course, for this battle, all the weapons at the bottom of the box of the two armies were also taken out. For example, the bed crossbow of the Qin army, and the catapult of the Zhao army. However, compared to the Qin army's everything, Zhao Jun obviously still has reservations.

Zhao Wei and his 3,000 heavy cavalry did not appear on the battlefield, but they could no longer hide in the mountains and forests.

Because this time the Qin army obviously learned the lessons of the Battle of Changping, after arriving at the battlefield, they immediately sent scouts to search the vicinity of Xinzheng, fearing that there were other soldiers and horses hiding.

Zhao Kuodang even transferred Zhao Wei's subordinates back to Xinzheng City.

Anyway, Xinzheng City is big enough, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to fit a mere 3,000 army. Even if the Qin army found out about Zhao Wei's subordinates who were left behind, they would only think that it was a normal stay.

In any case, with the completion of the formation of the two armies, a real head-to-head duel has finally begun.

The trumpets sounded, and the sound of whimpering put a solemn garment on the battlefield, and then the drums sounded, and the two armies marched forward with the drums.

Five hundred paces away, Li Mu, who was standing on top of the chariot, immediately spoke, "The left and right cavalry are out of battle!"

Hearing the order, Da Xuan swaggered, the originally slow drum beat became a little hurried, and red flags rushed wildly with the flying horses in the front line of the Zhao army.

While running, the herald passed on Li Mu's order: "The general has an order, and the left and right cavalry will go out into battle."

Immediately, the captains of the left and right cavalry marched with a finger of their swords, and the cavalry front immediately began to accelerate towards the left and right flanks of the Qin army in batches.

As the superior strength of the Zhao army, Li Mu obviously wanted to use his cavalry to strike first.

In several battles, it has been proved that the cavalry of the Qin army is inferior to the Zhao army, and Wang Di, who knows that his cavalry is not an opponent, obviously will not sit idly by!

Under the red flag, the soldiers at the front of the left and right wings of the Qin army slowly stopped, and then opened the formation, revealing the sharp weapon against the cavalry - the bed crossbow!

Yes, this big killer weapon Qin army was not placed in the center of the army formation to deal with the foot soldiers of the Zhao army, but placed it on the two wings to ensure that the two wings would not be easily broken through by the cavalry of the Zhao army.

In a battle of this level, it is never your own strongest point that is competing, but each other's weakest point. Whoever can hold on to the last five minutes will be the winner.

It took more than a hundred people to lift the bed crossbow, and even if it was placed there so quietly, it could make people feel the cold to the bone.

Dozens of shirtless strong men behind him immediately slowly pushed the winch of the bed crossbow, and then pulled the crossbow string made of cow tendons

Immediately afterwards, several strong men carried an "arrow" the thickness of a calf, carefully placed on the bed crossbow, and the huge three-edged blade iron axle at the front of it still had blood-colored marks, showing its martial feats.

Obviously, this "arrow" has torn apart many people and animals.

Because the production of arrows is very complicated, and the iron is both fine and huge, such arrows are used repeatedly, and over the years, the blood spots remain.

Although this bed crossbow is indeed terrifying and abnormal, it is obviously not enough to rely on more than ten bed crossbows to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of cavalry of the Zhao army.

Therefore, at the same time as the order to release the bed crossbow, the Qin army once again ordered: "The cavalry of Meng's subordinate will go forward to intercept the cavalry of the Zhao army."

In the face of the Zhao army's first move: the cavalry attacked, Wang Di's response was the bed crossbow and cavalry.

It's just that without waiting for the cavalry to collide together, Zhao Jun's second move has started again!

The catapult, which was in the middle of the rear, began to exert its strength. Huge stone bullets and oil bombs smashed into the queue of the Qin army, and in an instant, the queue of the Qin army became potholes.

It's a pity that this trick is in a small-scale battle or

In the defense of the city, it may be a little useful, but in a battle of this scale, the role it can play is too small.

The reason is very simple, Zhao Jun threw catapults again, and Qin Jun didn't have it.

It's just that Zhao Jun's heavy catapult is more labor-saving, more accurate, and has a longer range.

Needless to say, the confrontation of hundreds of thousands of troops, who will lack those 1,800 people;

Precision, on this boundless and endless front, also seems a little lackluster;

As for the range, it was just enough to allow the Zhao army to attack two rounds earlier, and it was nothing more than the loss of a few hundred people.

Sure enough, with the two-wheel attack of the Zhao army's catapults, the Qin army's catapults also immediately bombarded each other, and in an instant, the Zhao army's front also turned into a wavy line.

And finally, at the same time as the Qin army's stone bullets landed, the cavalry of the Zhao army was also close at hand.

"Put!" The captain of the Qin army shouted loudly.

The sound of breaking the sky, accompanied by the tearing sound of the air and the screams of Zhao Jun, swept the entire battlefield together.

More than ten bed crossbows were fired at the same time, and the huge anti-shock force even shook out bursts of dust and smoke in the camp of the Qin army.

Although the calf-thick arrows were a little swaying, they still flew towards Zhao Jun at an extremely fast speed, and the triangular blood-colored arrows faintly glowed with cold light in the sunlight.

Anything that dares to stand in its way will be torn apart.

The "thin" arrow soon met its opponent, and blood splattered the sky.

The cavalry of the Zhao army rushing to the forefront was pierced by the crossbow of the Qin army almost instantly, and almost all the men and horses were torn to pieces. And the whimpering sound of the crossbow arrows in the bed gradually disappeared after piercing the full three layers of men and horses.

The sharp spearhead smashed into the dirt, and until now, the thigh-thick tail rod was still trembling leisurely.

Looking at the scene where the Zhao army's forwards were all shattered, a burst of cheers broke out among the Qin army in an instant.

Obviously, Qin Jun was very satisfied with the effect of this bed crossbow, and even the Qin military captain on the side was trying his best to breathe before he suppressed his excitement, and then shouted to his subordinates to reload the bed crossbow.

Under the blow of the bed crossbow, the sharpness of the Zhao cavalry was blunt.

But Zhao Biancai was worthy of being a troop that even the Qin army had to give three points of courtesy, and almost instantly, the cavalry of the Zhao army continued to rush towards the Qin army under the adjustment of the captain.

There was no time to be sad and timid, and the cavalry of the Zhao army continued to attack the Qin army, almost stepping on the corpses and internal organs of their companions.

"Put!" With a loud shout, the rain of arrows from the cavalry of the Zhao army had already reached the top of the Qin army.

"Protection!" On the left and right lines of the Qin army, the captains of various places shouted.

The shield soldiers of the Qin army on the side hurriedly protected the foot soldiers beside them under the shield, and the rain of arrows was inserted into the shield, making a "clanging" sound. But more arrows still fell on the Qin soldiers, and suddenly there was a wail in the Qin army's camp.

And the cavalry of the Zhao army didn't have time to be happy at all, and the captain who rushed to kill him also hurriedly shouted, "Protection!"

Immediately, the well-trained cavalry of the Zhao army either hid their bodies directly on the side of the war horse, or directly attached to the horse's back, of course, the simplest thing was to raise the small shield on their left hand.

At this time, the roaring cavalry of the Qin army finally shot a rain of arrows.

Immediately, the sound of clanging resounded on the battlefield again, and because the cavalry of the Zhao army had already taken precautions, the rain of arrows of the Qin army did not have the desired effect. Of course, because the hand shield is small after all, it can only protect vital parts such as the head and neck, and although it is defended, it is not unscathed.

After a rain of arrows, the cavalry captain of the Zhao army ordered again: "Around!"

Immediately, the cavalry of the Zhao army began to change formations, from the previous sharp arrow formation suitable for charging to a goose-shaped formation suitable for grappling.

The cavalry of the Zhao army was about to start entangled with the cavalry of the Qin army.

It can also be seen from this point that the appearance of the cavalry of the Qin army was expected by Zhao Jun, or Li Mu. And Li Mu's idea is also very simple: you want to fight, that

Casual battles.

Li Mu's foothold was that even if the cavalry of the Qin army had the help of bed crossbows, it would still be difficult to be the opponent of the Zhao army.

Therefore, defeating the cavalry of the Qin army, and then attacking the main formation of the Qin army, would naturally be Li Mu's first choice.

However, because of the deterrence of bed crossbows, it was not so easy to defeat the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qin army.

And with the cavalry army, which has always had a slight advantage, on the battlefield of foot soldiers, the situation of the Qin army is much better.

As the horn sounded, the infantry captain also drew his sword out of the sheath, and the double anti-shield soldiers raised the long shield, and the small phalanx formed a hook line formation and continued to advance towards the other party.

One hundred and fifty paces away, the first round of catapults of the Zhao army attacked, and the Qin army suffered considerable losses.

One hundred and twenty paces away, the Qin army's catapults began to counterattack, and Qin and Zhao suffered casualties.

A hundred paces apart, the rain of arrows quenched with gold juice began to hang down intensively, and every time it rained, there were pieces of soldiers on both sides lying on the ground, and every time one soldier fell, there was another soldier, hurry up to make up.

Less than seventy paces apart, the two armies could already see each other, and the drumbeat of the two armies finally intensified, and the horn of the charge finally sounded throughout the battlefield.

The long shield in his hand was held in front of his chest, clinging to his body, and the spear was tilted slightly.

All the soldiers finally began to speed up in the midst of the eager sound of horns.

The sound of "clanging" sounded, the sound of a spear on the opponent's shield.

The tremendous strength not only did not push the shield back, but allowed the shield to continue charging without hesitation.

I heard a "bang", and the shields of both sides slammed together.

Obviously, this violent impact made both sides behind the shield uncomfortable, but the two of them still tried their best to hold on, and neither dared to, let alone take half a step back.

Changge above his head smashed down, but was blocked by his own Changge.

In the sound of clanging, Qin Zhao's infantry finally made a mess......
